Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 40 [Migration Palace] is opened!
Three years later.

Fengqing Town, Xu family.

It was late autumn, that night, Xu Boyang sat cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed, and exhaled a breath of foul air.

A faint breath rose from his dantian, passed through the twelve floors, and lingered between his eyebrows. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of golden light in his eyes!

"Inducing Qi and Condensing Spirit! Success?!"

Xu Boyang was surprised and delighted, a little bit unbelievable, and full of emotion. He spent a whole year gathering Qi and two years nourishing his spirit. He never dared to slack off. He kept making Qi Gathering Pills, Detoxification Pills, and Spirit Nourishing Pills. He almost used up all his belongings, but finally succeeded tonight!
"Hard work pays off! I finally reached the sixth level of the Condensation Stage!"

He stood up, his chest heaving, his heart pounding, his mind clear and his eyes bright. He felt that the furnishings of the room in the darkness were as vivid as in the daytime. He glanced sideways at the [Biyouxian] placed on the couch, his mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness suddenly arose.

The emerald green sword immediately began to tremble, and green water began to flow on the sword, making a slight sword humming sound.

"Whoosh!"

A soft sound!
The long sword flew upside down!

Xu Boyang grabbed it, and with a swish sound, the long sword spitted out a sword light!

The sword light flickered unsteadily, and he couldn't suppress his joy, looking up and laughing heartily.

"In this way, I can fly with my sword!"

Xu Boyang was itching to go out, so he pushed the door open and saw a full moon in the sky and golden leaves. It was a bright and windy day, what a beautiful late autumn season!
With a slight flick of the wrist, [Biyouxian] was thrown out!
With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, the long sword suddenly hovered steadily in the air.

Xu Boyang smiled and leaped up, but unexpectedly, his sword suddenly tilted as soon as he moved his mind. He was immediately startled. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and was as light as a swallow. He turned in the air, staggered to the ground, and took several steps back before he could steady himself. He almost fell flat on his face.

"You're thinking too simply!"

Xu Boyang laughed to himself. There was a knack to wielding a sword. It was not so easy to become one with the sword and do whatever one wanted. But he was not discouraged. Recalling the records in the scriptures, he used his spiritual consciousness to make the sword fly up again, but this time it was suspended lower, two feet off the ground.

He stepped lightly on the suspended sword with his feet, one in front and one behind, and finally stood steady.

"rise!"

Bi Youxian let out a roar of sword sound and immediately soared straight into the sky!

Xu Boyang flew upwards more than thirty feet in a blink of an eye. Seeing that he could no longer control himself, he quickly kicked his feet and floated down, saying softly:

"No! Come again!"

As he fell, he was suddenly surprised to find that his landing speed was much slower than usual!
Like a feather in the air!
This is the monk!
After more than seven years, he finally became an immortal cultivator from a mortal!

Only you know the ups and downs in this process!
Fortunately, it was all worth it!

All the boredom will be swept away tonight!

Now that I have started learning to fly with a sword, I naturally have to master it before I can talk about other things!
Xu Boyang has been enjoying this since then. He never leaves his house and spends every day in his own yard trying to figure out the tricks of flying with a sword. Until the third night, he was finally able to fly steadily and quickly.

The autumn air was cool, with a bright moon and a fresh breeze. On a whim, he controlled his flying sword and headed straight for the Wuya Peak of Huaishan Mountain.

But in less than half an hour, he reached the top of Wuya Peak, which was more than ten times faster than when he climbed up with the "divine movement" and "leap" techniques before.

Xu Boyang gently landed on the stone cliff where he usually meditated. With a wave of his hand, the Biyouxianjing flew back to the storage bag on his waist.

"Huh... I can finally use the storage bag."

Xu Boyang looked down at the storage bag on his waist and sighed with emotion. He had handled countless storage bags in the years of buying and selling elixirs, but he could only stare at them or wait for others to open them. Now, he finally didn't have to carry a backpack anymore and could finally put whatever he wanted in it!
Two years ago, Xu Boyang spent a year collecting energy at Wuya Peak. After collecting enough, he never came up again.

The following two years of “drawing in qi and gathering spirit” practice were all done at home.

Of course, he didn't come up here tonight for no reason.

Now that he has entered the sixth level of Ningyuan, Xu Boyang has two top priorities to do.

The first step was to enter the [Purple Star Fate Palace]. He clearly remembered what Zhao Lingguan said, that after the sixth level of Condensation, the Fate Palace would change!
The second is to start practicing the Huangting sword technique "Fei Su Liuchu Sword" given by Qi Fuling!
These two things have been lingering in his mind for the past three years. They are what he is obsessed with. Today he can finally start!

Xu Boyang quickly sat down cross-legged. He had been collecting energy on this cliff for three years and was already very familiar with this place. He thought it was safer than his home. After all, this was an isolated cliff with steep cliffs all around. Not only was it seldom visited by people, but there were not even any wild animals.

Whether you meditate or practice swordplay here, you can concentrate without being disturbed.

Of course, he was not meditating at the moment. The only thing he couldn't wait for was to enter the [Purple Star Fate Palace]!
After meditating for a while, his mind became dazed and his breathing became rapid. He opened his eyes and the foggy starry world in the darkness appeared again.

"one two three!"

Xu Boyang looked at the palaces floating above the star mist. The [Palace of Wealth] and the [Palace of Daoyan] were still brightly lit, while the mist of the middle palace gradually dissipated, revealing its true appearance with brilliant lights. A cloud staircase at the entrance of the palace was like a living thing, winding down. In an instant, the cloud staircases of the three palaces were connected together!
Xu Boyang was ecstatic. It had been almost ten years since he picked up the thing, and he finally opened the first palace!
How could this not make him happy!
He ran over excitedly!
"It's not easy! Xu family boy, you reached the sixth level of Condensation much faster than we thought!"

Zhao Lingguan stood at the palace gate, smiling and clapping his hands in applause.

Wang Lingguan also appeared at the door, but he still had a stern face, showing no emotion, and looked at him coldly.

Seeing the two spiritual officials coming out, Xu Boyang did not dare to neglect them and quickly bowed and said:

"Hello, two spiritual officials!"

"Ah."

Wang Lingguan responded, waved his hand, threw out three small objects that shone with spiritual light, and turned to leave.

"Take it! It'll be useful up there!"

Xu Boyang was startled. Seeing that the thing coming was strange, he quickly used his spiritual sense to receive it. Then he saw three spiritual objects floating in front of him:
A snowflake wrapped in black wind, a breeze filled with water vapor, and a dark, wriggling mud!
When Xu Boyang saw this mud, he immediately opened his eyes wide.
"Isn't this the snake demon's magic? And this... is it [Spring Breeze and Yishui]? And [Shanyin Night Snow]?"

"What on earth is going on?"

"Xu family boy, stop guessing!"

Zhao Lingguan smiled and said, "Go up quickly. Once you get up there, you'll understand everything."

"Thank you, Officer Zhao!"

Xu Boyang didn't ask any more questions. He put the three spiritual objects into his storage bag and ran towards the palace in the middle with light steps. After a while, three large gold characters on the palace came into view:
【House of Migration】

Xu Boyang was feeling both excited and nervous at this moment. He didn't know what the temper of the spiritual officer of the [Migration Palace] was like and whether he would be easy to deal with.

However, he did not hesitate for a moment. He took two steps at a time, crossed the palace gate, and rushed straight in.

A tall man dressed in colorful silk and covered in flames, holding a jade scroll, turned around and said in a deep voice,
"Who comes to the hall? Why don't you report?" Xu Boyang was surprised. This man was very different from the two spiritual officials of King Zhao in terms of his clothes and appearance. He was dressed in colorful silks and his whole body was burning with flames. His face was square and majestic, his eyebrows were as black as mountains and ink, and his face was full of curly beard. A fiery red crow was squatting on his right shoulder, and flames were also coming out from between its wings.

With a start in his heart, he quickly bowed and said, "Disciple greets the Spiritual Officer!"

The Flame Spiritual Officer glanced sideways, then suddenly understood. He chuckled and asked, "Are you Xu Boyang? Not bad! My last name is Ma."

Xu Boyang didn't expect that this man looked so powerful, but his tone was so gentle and friendly. He felt relieved and bowed, saying:
"Disciple Xu Boyang greets Ma Lingguan!"

"Ah."

Ma Lingguan nodded, then placed the jade slip on the table and said calmly,

"This is the Migration Palace, also known as the Heavenly Warehouse. It's all about gathering spiritual energy. Since you've already collected three spiritual energies, why don't you share them?"

"Tiancang?"

Xu Boyang was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask any more questions. He took out the three spiritual objects that Wang Lingguan had just given him from his storage bag.

Ma Lingguan gently moved his fingers, and three streams of heaven and earth spiritual energy floated over. He looked at them for a while, sighed softly, and said:
"After so many years, the sixty-four palaces of the Zhoutian [Gen Dui], [Gen Kan], and [Xun Kan] have finally returned to their positions!"

After saying this he laughed and said:

"Very good, very good. Xu Boyang, you have just started on the path of Taoism. You are just a small cultivator, but you have already collected three strands of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Your future is immeasurable! The future is promising!"

Xu Boyang was even more surprised and puzzled, and asked:
"Excuse me, Master Ma, is this muddy mass also spiritual energy?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Ma Lingguan collected the three spiritual energies of heaven and earth one by one, and then he spoke:
"There are a total of sixty-four spiritual energies in the world, scattered throughout the sea. In the future, every time you collect a spiritual energy from heaven and earth, you can come to me and exchange it for the corresponding Dao Fruit reward."

Xu Boyang was even more confused. He had collected [Shanyin Night Snow] and [Spring Breeze Yishui] by himself, but if this mass of mud was spiritual energy, it was obviously on the body of the demon snake, so why was it collected into this [Purple Star Fate Palace]?
After a while, he heard Ma Lingguan talking about rewards, and he was delighted. He asked, "I wonder what kind of Dao fruit rewards can be exchanged for, Master Lingguan?"

Ma Lingguan smiled and said, "You can exchange it for three kinds of Dao Fruit: Spirit Stone, Yin De, and Official Rank."

"Uh…"

Xu Boyang pursed his lips. He naturally knew about Lingshi, but what the hell were Yin De and Guanlu?

"Yin De is the main Dao Fruit you need to exchange after building your foundation, because the [Spell Palace] will open, and you need Yin De to exchange for the magic of heaven and earth."

"As for official rank, let's put it aside for now. That's something for after Huang Ting. It's too early for you now."

"[Magic Palace]?"

Xu Boyang's eyebrows danced with joy, and he thought to himself, "So, if I can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, I can exchange it for secret manuals of magic in the future?"

Seeing his youthful spirit, Ma Lingguan couldn't help but purse his lips and smiled, "You have just arrived at the [Migration Palace], and you don't understand many things. Let me talk to you."

"Let me tell you the rules first. The [Migration Palace] is responsible for collecting. As long as you collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can exchange it with me. One line of transformation spiritual energy can be exchanged for ten Yuqing Spirit Stones, ten points of Yin De or one point of official rank. One line of righteous spiritual energy can be exchanged for one hundred Yuqing Spirit Stones, one hundred points of Yin De or ten points of official rank. But remember, you can't exchange it more than once."

"Also, there are three ways to gather and restrain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth: gathering when there is mutual growth, seizing when there is mutual restraint, and restraining when there is neither growth nor restraint."

"For example, if you have gathered [Qiong Shan Jie Ze] and [Spring Breeze Yi Shui], it is actually because they are mutually beneficial or the same as your [Shan Yin Ye Xue], so it is the easiest to gather them."

"On the contrary, you can't take it, you can only kill it. I will teach you a secret method that can take it or kill it. In the future, if you meet someone who possesses this spiritual energy that can counteract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can kill them and take their spiritual energy!"

Xu Boyang was ecstatic when he first heard this, and he exclaimed in his heart:
"So if I exchange all three of these heavenly and earthly spiritual energies for spirit stones now, wouldn't I already have three thousand spirit stones?"

Then he heard something startling, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Ma Lingguan wave his hand, and a jade slip of power transmission floated over.

Xu Boyang reached out to take it, and the jade slip disappeared immediately, with a loud buzzing sound in his head!
The Secret Method of Summoning the Great Immortal Huoxi, the Spiritual Official of Zhengyi!
A secret method was like a brand, firmly engraved in his mind!
Xu Boyang's mind became clear, and he instantly understood. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Spiritual Officer, for the Dharma!"

But I sighed secretly in my heart:
"This person who possesses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth must be a cultivator above the foundation-building stage. I'm afraid that this secret method of killing is useless right now. Moreover, killing others for no reason is against the will of heaven."

Ma Lingguan seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and said calmly: "Good and evil, right and wrong, are in the heart of man!"

Xu Boyang immediately understood, nodded, bowed, and dared not think about it anymore.

"Alright, this is the rule of the Migration Palace. From now on, if you can gather spiritual energy, you can come to me. If you can't, there's no need to come here in vain."

"What do you plan to exchange these three spiritual energies for?"

Xu Boyang thought for a moment. Now he has reached the sixth level of Ningyuan. The next step is to break through the three barriers of Shenyuan and lead the spirit into Yuan. This is clearly recorded in "Tianhao Daoqi Changshuo Jingshu". It is necessary to use one's own spiritual consciousness and spiritual power to break through the three barriers, and finally lead the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to build the foundation of immortality.

The idea of ​​using one's own spiritual awareness and power to break through the three barriers sounds vague and mysterious. According to the scriptures, one can only achieve enlightenment through one's own sudden realization. There is no trick or need for elixirs. One only needs to take a Peiyuan Pill to strengthen the foundation and replenish the essence every time one breaks through a barrier.

All in all, only three Peiyuan Pills are needed, which have already been prepared in the storage bag.

In this way, I don't need this spirit stone for the time being, but the subsequent "inducing the spirit to transform into essence" requires the assistance of the "Shenyuan Pill".

I just don't know how much the "Shenyuan Pill" which is not even recorded in the "Shao Yuan Dan Ding Notes" is worth.

In addition, no one knows what kind of magic this good deed can be exchanged for. As for the official position, even the spiritual official is unwilling to say more. I am afraid it is even more illusory and it is too early to say.

"These three spiritual energies of heaven and earth are not easy to come by, so I'm afraid it's better to put them aside for now. Whether it's the Shenyuan Pill or the magic, I'm afraid it's better to exchange them when the time comes."

Xu Boyang pondered for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I would like to hold off on exchanging it for now. I will come back to trouble you later if I need it. Is that convenient for you?"

"Well, yes."

Ma Lingguan nodded and said, "Not bad! Not arrogant or impatient! Then, if you need anything in the future, please come to the [Migration Palace] to find me!"

"Thank you, Spiritual Officer, for your permission. I will take my leave!"

After Xu Boyang finished speaking, he bowed and took his leave.

After he left, Ma Lingguan looked around the hall, a look of emotion appeared on his face, and his figure flashed, and he flew out of the hall and landed in front of it.

Wang Lingguan and Zhao Lingguan walked out of the hall at the same time, and bowed respectfully to Ma Lingguan above them, saying:
"Congratulations, Brother!"

Ma Lingguan nodded calmly, looking up at the endless starry sky above him, his brows slightly furrowed, wondering what he was thinking. After a long moment, he sighed and cursed, "Damn it, it's finally out!"
