Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 39: Innate Qi
Dongfanghong glanced at Yi Dong, and his eyes paused for a moment on the long-handled pistol at Yi Dong's waist.

"Friend Yi, you're back."

Seeing Dongfanghong appear in front of him, Yi Dong nodded slightly.

Then he flew up the mountain.

Dongfanghong looked at Yi De and a group of Yi family members looking at him, but did not move.

Not a moment.

Yi De received the message from Yi Dong.

Bowing to the East is Red,
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, the mountain master invites you to go up."

Dongfanghong knew that Yi Dong had regained control of Zijin Mountain's formation.

Dongfanghong arrived at the top of the mountain.

I saw Yi Dong looking up at Taichu Zixing.

I felt slightly satisfied.

In the end, Dongfanghong did not do anything that was detrimental to himself.

Although Yi Dong was slightly dissatisfied with Dongfanghong's arbitrary withdrawal of Zijin Mountain's resources.

However, seeing that Taichu Zixing was fine, Yi Dong no longer cared about it.

“I have troubled Fellow Daoist Dongfang for the past twenty years.

I don’t know what your plans are next.”

What Yi Dong implied was that Dongfanghong could leave.

Dongfanghong thought for a moment and said:

"If possible, Brother Yi, can you let me build a thatched hut in Zijin Mountain for temporary shelter?

I will not hide it from you, fellow Daoist. I need to use your life spirit plant to comprehend some spells and refine my own life spirit."

Yi Dong slowly turned around and looked at Dongfanghong without saying anything.

Although Dongfanghong is very beautiful, she also has natural spiritual roots.

However, he is not a person who is driven by low-level desires. He has spent time studying and calculating love in his past and present lives, and concluded that it is nothing more than an illusion caused by the secretion of biological hormones.

Now, there is a vast amount of knowledge waiting for him to learn in his "palace of thinking", and he really has no time to do anything else.

Women will only affect his learning efficiency.

Dongfanghong saw that Yidong didn't say anything, so he said:

"I can pay you with spirit stones."

Yi Dong had a blank expression on his face and remained unmoved.

As far as he knew, the family that Dongfanghong belonged to had basically cut off her source of spirit stones because Dongfanghong disobeyed their orders.

Moreover, with Dongfanghong's ability, he probably wouldn't be able to earn many spirit stones.

If only spirit stones were easy to earn.

The students of Lijiang Taoist Temple will not be supported by people like Yi Fu.

No matter which world, in prosperous times, except for a few, the original capital of most beautiful women lies in themselves.

Therefore, it is normal for female cultivators in the Immortal Kingdom to change dozens of partners and date hundreds of men a year.

If a person with natural spiritual roots truly obeys the family's arrangements, the annual income will be even higher than that of a spiritual land.

Yi Dong didn't take this little bit of spirit stones seriously at all.

Dongfanghong didn't know how many spirit stones Yi Dong had, but she could roughly guess from the increasing number of spirit materials purchased from Zijin Mountain in recent times.

Thinking of this, Dongfanghong's face changed. After a long silence, he said:
"I can be your Taoist partner. As far as I know, you haven't found one yet."

Seeing Yi Dong showing a hint of disdain, Dongfanghong continued:

"I am not one of those wanton female cultivators. After I become your Taoist partner, I swear that I will never look for another Taoist partner."

Yi Dong was not moved at all when he heard this.

The value of a vow lies in the moment it is broken.

So I waved my hand,
“No, I have no plans to find a Taoist partner for the time being.

To be honest, many cultivators from family backgrounds have been influenced by their family since childhood and may have some obsession with expanding their family.

But I'm different. "

At this point, Yi Dong became a little impatient.

Today, Yi Dong's ability is no longer something that ordinary cultivators like Dongfang Hong can achieve.

The two sides have different perspectives on the issue and really have no common language.

Dongfanghong suddenly said:
"Aren't you surprised why I refused to accept the family's arrangement?"

"I don't care about such things."

In prosperous times, after people have solved the problem of food and clothing, they have more ideas and all kinds of strange operations emerge in an endless stream.

Even Yi Dong dared to sell the family's Taoist temple quota privately, so it was no big deal if others did something a little bit disobedient to their elders.

“It’s because I have an innate Gengjin energy in my body.

According to the research of the Taoist Academy, if the offspring are nourished by the innate energy when they are conceived, the chances of giving birth to offspring with natural spiritual roots will be extremely high.

With the nourishment of this innate Gengjin energy, your children will definitely have good aptitude in the future, and it is even possible that they will have multiple gold-attributed spiritual roots. "

Yi Dong's heart moved.

He had actually read about the knowledge on innate qi.

During chaotic times, some people are born with strange visions.

This kind of strange vision is formed by various innate energies.

In some places during chaotic times, such people are called people with great luck and are born extraordinary.

In fact, after research by the Taoist temple, it was found that concepts such as luck and destiny are all nonsense, and some so-called birth phenomena are nothing more than the result of the escape of some of the innate qi.

A green light flashed in Yi Dong's eyes, and he scanned Dongfang Hong's body up and down.

"It's useless. If the innate Gengjin energy could be easily detected, I would have been sent to a more powerful family to become a reproductive tool for the aristocratic family." Dongfanghong said calmly.

The moment Yi Dong was thinking, all the books or bamboo slips related to the innate energy in the "Hall of Thought" were opened, and countless pieces of information were transmitted into his mind.

The innate energy is extremely mysterious. Many senior Taoist monks who had established their foundation in the Taoist temple had tried to collect it, but they all failed.

The innate qi in a living being's body will become acquired qi and its value will plummet as soon as it leaves the body.

The innate energy within the object cannot be extracted at all, and the carrier can only be used as a part of refining magic weapons or for other purposes.

The innate qi is closely related to its carrier.

Moreover, the innate qi is actually not related to the spiritual roots, but to the spiritual body.

The formation of every spirit is not entirely due to the innate qi.

However, if an embryo can absorb all the innate energy while in the mother's womb, it will inevitably evolve into a spiritual body.

Those who show strange visions when they are born are formed because they fail to absorb all of the innate qi, causing it to dissipate. Such people basically do not have a complete spiritual body.

To evolve into a spiritual body, the embryo needs a lot of nutrition.

In times of chaos, strange phenomena usually appear in poor families.

Because my family was poor, I couldn’t even get enough to eat during pregnancy, let alone supplement nutrition.

The Immortal Kingdom is now in its heyday. Not only ordinary cultivators, but even many ordinary people can have enough food and clothing.

In the fairyland, there are rarely any strange sights.

Generally speaking, if one possesses innate energy, he or she will become a spiritual body, and the probability of dissipating is very small.

The situation that Dongfanghong described does exist.

That is, the innate qi enters the embryo, but due to lack of sufficient "nutrition" or other reasons, the innate qi does not begin to evolve into a spiritual body, but remains in a unified state and is absorbed by the embryo, so that it will not dissipate.

The innate energy nourishes the offspring and should be able to improve the spiritual roots.

"What do you think?"

Dongfanghong didn't show it on his face, but he was very nervous in his heart.

She did have the innate Gengjin Qi, but she had no intention of using the innate Qi to nourish Yi Dong when she gave birth to a son.

Because she planned to use the innate energy to refine her natal objects and strengthen her natal spiritual treasures.

Facing ordinary immortal cultivators, Dongfang Hong would naturally not reveal any information about the innate qi.

But according to her understanding, although Yi Dong came from a noble family, he did not value blood ties such as offspring. He should not be in a hurry to have children. In this way, she would have time.

Yi Dong looked at Dongfanghong.

He was thinking about having some children to help.

He didn't have children before because he felt a little resistance to the moral decline of the world. After all, he had received a normal education, so it was normal for him to have a little moral cleanliness.

Besides, there is really no need to give birth to children who will die younger than yourself.

As for having children, will it make him vulnerable?
Will the birth, aging, sickness and death of his children cloud his moral integrity?

Yi Dong is not worried. With thousands of years of cultural influence and hundreds of TV dramas' "education", he will definitely take the right path when facing threats.

As for the heart of Tao?

Today, I do not believe in metaphysics and focus on "science". If something like Tao heart really exists, perhaps it can be used as a material.

Looking Dongfanghong up and down.

The question now is whether Dongfang’s words are credible.

After thinking about it, Yi Dong felt that even if Dongfanghong was lying, he could at most drive him away. In this process, as long as he did not invest too much, he would not suffer much loss.

As for wanting to rely on Yi Dong for the rest of her life after becoming his Taoist partner, Dongfanghong was overthinking. Yi Dong did not have many merits, and being decisive was his style.

Thinking about it, Yi Dong signaled Dongfanghong to follow.

After entering his private yard.

Yi Dong took a few blank jade slips from the laboratory and transmitted some information about the innate qi into them.

"These are all information about the innate energy, as well as some methods to strengthen the innate energy.

You can ask Yi De to buy the consumable spiritual objects."

Yi Dong temporarily chose to believe what Dongfanghong said.

Dongfanghong was overjoyed after taking the jade slip.

Although the innate Gengjin Qi was in her body, he didn't know much about the innate Qi.

A lot of the knowledge in the jade slips did not come from the library of Qingzhu Taoist Temple.

With this knowledge, it won’t take her many years to refine her natal object.

Although she was ecstatic inside, Dongfanghong did not show any sign on her face. Instead, she looked reluctant, as if she had suffered a great loss.

"It will take about ten years to strengthen the innate energy through the various methods here."

It would take her five to ten years at most to refine her natal object, taking into account unexpected situations.

Yi Dong cannot see through people's hearts and cannot guess what Dongfanghong is thinking.

Seeing this, I could only nod.

He is not in a hurry to have children.

Dongfanghong left Yidong's yard and went to a yard not far away.

He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

It's not just because Yi Dong gave her the knowledge of innate energy, but also from Yi Dong's indifferent attitude towards the various spiritual materials used to strengthen the innate energy, it can be seen that Yi Dong has a lot of spiritual stones.

In this way, she can buy more spiritual objects and refine her own natal objects to become stronger.

As for cheating Yi Dong, Dongfanghong didn't care.

Even the Taoist Academy couldn't figure out the spiritual root qualifications of the offspring. How could Yi Dong know that Dongfang Hong did not have the innate Gengjin Qi to nourish her offspring?
As for using Yidong's spiritual stones, Dongfanghong didn't care at all.

After all, she said that she would not look for other Taoist partners in the future. She was a natural spiritual root, and Yi Dong was her only Taoist partner. Using some spirit stones was not a big deal at all.
