Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 162 Enlightenment in the Palace, the White Jade Toad

By resonating with the power fluctuations of the Yin energy veins in the underground palace of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, Su Ji finally gathered all twenty-four high-level profound fragments of the Tongyou Profound Gate and cultivated his first superior-grade profound technique.

This profound technique was derived by Su Ji from the resonant remains of the previous generation of Bright Moon Elf, and he cultivated it to the level of a superior profound technique before the Earth Yin Elf could.

It wasn't that the chubby Earth Spirit was so incompetent, but rather that Su Ji not only possessed the ability to comprehend profound principles through the method of [Resonance], but also the ability to analyze them using the Yin-Yang I Ching through the Heavenly Mandate, which allowed him to digest them so quickly.

Of course, Su Ji did not only thank the Earth Spirit, but also took concrete actions.

“Your Highness, the mystical arts I learned from the previous Moon Elf have now reached the superior level. This time, I should be able to open this underground palace!”

Previously, Su Ji always felt that something was missing. This time, not only did the Heavenly Calculation show a 90% probability of opening the underground palace, but he also had an inexplicable confidence.

"Open the underground palace!"

The chubby Earth Spirit's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a promise: "If the Sun Watcher can help me open the underground palace today, not only will the Sun Watcher receive 10% of the resources inside, but all future transactions will also be conducted with the Sun Watcher as the first choice!"

Besides Su Ji, the Earth Spirits can exchange treasures for divine power at the City God Temple, or they can trade with other gods to gain favors.

However, the Earth Spirit knew the importance of Su Ji, the Sun Watcher, to the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, and had long ago chosen Su Ji as the Bright Moon Spirit Realm's agent, but had never had the opportunity to reveal it.

The Earth Spirit's utterance of these words is also a gesture of goodwill, a way of further cultivating a relationship with the Golden Toad, the Spirit of the Sun.

Su Ji was more than happy to accept this.

Currently, Su Ji can still explore the treasure lands of Mingyue Spirit Realm, allowing Qian Feng, Zhu Nu, and others to come and excavate, thus enabling the participants to obtain a lot of cultivation resources.

However, not to mention that the treasures in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm are limited, Su Ji's cultivation level is about to reach the advanced level of the Cave Profound Realm. At that time, he can only stay outside the Spirit Realm and watch helplessly, and will not be able to continue to explore the treasures of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm.

This Earth Spirit is currently a prince of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm. Once he becomes a king-level spirit, he will become the king of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm. The agreement made with the Earth Spirit will allow him to control most of the future resource exchanges in the Bright Moon Spirit Realm.

Even if you only earn normal commissions, it's still a considerable sum.

Not to mention, the underground palace also contains many treasures left behind by the previous Moon Elf. Even if only one-tenth of them are there, they would probably be worth nearly 100,000 strands of divine power.

With immense motivation, Su Ji pointed at the underground palace and shouted, "[Tongyou Xuanmen]!"

In an instant, the entire underground palace began to shake, and even the guardian spirit general Deng, who was guarding the back of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, felt a slight tremor.

"Great formation, activate!"

At this moment, the chubby Earth Yin Spirit Realm hurriedly activated the great formation, cutting off the power being channeled into the underground palace as much as possible.

"Om-"

With a sound like the ringing of metal, the underground palace, which had been closed for over a hundred years, finally opened again.

In an instant, the dense Yin energy, almost turning into spiritual liquid, spread out, making both the Yin spirit and Su Ji feel refreshed and relaxed.

What was originally just a passage in the stone wall gradually became shiny due to the pervasive mist, and soon became part of the main body of the Yin Spirit Vein locked in the underground palace.

At this moment, Yan Tianchou suddenly exclaimed with delight, "There's a hidden paradise inside the palace!"

After Su Ji and the chubby Earth Spirit stepped inside, a strange fragrance wafted over them, and they also noticed the change in the space.

From the outside, the palace appears to be only twenty or thirty feet long and wide, but from the inside it is at least one hundred and twenty feet long.

The first thing that catches the eye is two jade-like trees. Judging from the fragrant golden petals on them, the two jade trees seem to be the legendary laurel trees.

"what?"

Su Ji showed a rare look of surprise, then flew towards the flower that looked like a laurel.

Yan Tianchou immediately analyzed, "This tree is generally yin in nature, but its flowers contain a yang energy. It is very likely that it grew from the branches of the laurel, a precious spiritual root from the Taiyin Star!"

Ordinary trees can be regenerated through grafting, cuttings, and other methods, let alone the precious laurel root that grows on the Taiyin Star.

It is important to know that the Moon itself symbolizes fertility, and both the toad and the jade rabbit are highly fertile representatives.

As a result, the Moon not only has many believers in fertility worship, but its moonlight also nourishes countless demon cultivators.

Su Ji reached out to a laurel blossom, and after calming herself down, she slowly closed her eyes.

Indeed, from the moment he entered the underground palace, Su Ji felt a strange tremor, which came not only from the depths of his heart but also from his circulating Yin-Yang energy.

The "Minor Yin-Yang Method" initially emphasizes "harmony" in its basic form, then "transformation" at the level of the Dongxuan Master, and finally "mutual assistance" at the advanced Dongxuan cultivation level.

In order to understand the concept of "Yin and Yang in Harmony", Su Ji not only tried to comprehend the Yin and Yang energies in the dawn and dusk, but also used high-grade Yang stones and high-grade Yin stones as experimental subjects, yet he still felt that something was missing.

Now, Su Ji saw the yin-type laurel and the yang-type golden laurel flowers coexisting, and the question in his heart was finally answered.

"These two laurel trees must have been obtained from the gods by the previous generation of Moon Spirits. After hundreds of years of growth, they not only survived but also blossomed with laurel flowers."

"Even if these two laurel trees aren't true earth-treasure spiritual roots, they still possess some yin attributes. According to the profound principle of yin giving rise to yang, they eventually blossomed into these laurel petals..."

In addition to Taiyin and Taiyang, Yin and Yang also include four other types: Laoyin, Shaoyin, Laoyang, and Shaoyang, which correspond to the four seasons of winter, autumn, summer, and spring, and also to the four celestial spirits: Xuanwu, Baihu, Zhuque, and Qinglong.

The forces of the moon and the sun are so powerful that when they meet, they will undergo an extremely strong reaction, ultimately transforming into primordial energy.

However, there is a principle of mutual generation among the four elements: Lesser Yang generates Greater Yang, Greater Yang generates Lesser Yin, Lesser Yin generates Greater Yin, Greater Yin generates Lesser Yang, and so on, completing the cycle of the four seasons.

As Su Ji gazed at the golden petals of the laurel, he unknowingly drifted into a state of enlightenment.

Upon noticing this, the chubby Earth Spirit couldn't help but show a hint of envy. Then, it leaped down and landed in the large pool behind the two laurel trees.

Before long, the Earth Spirit also entered into a state of enlightenment.

Only by constantly analyzing and recording the knowledge that Su Ji was digesting, and then exploring the surrounding environment as much as possible.

The laurel tree is rare enough, but the pool behind it filled with Earth Yin Spirit Liquid is priceless.

It should be noted that a single drop of low-grade Earth Yin Spirit Liquid can be sold for three strands of divine power, while a single drop of high-grade Earth Yin Spirit Liquid is worth one or two hundred strands of divine power. Such a large pool of layered Earth Yin Spirit Liquid can be sold for at least several million strands of divine power.

Not to mention, Yan Tianchou only needed to glance at it to discover that the pool contained not only various spiritual plants, but also countless moon essences of above-standard quality shimmering with a bright light.

Looking further down, the stones at the edge of the pool had long since solidified into a layer of high-grade Yin Stone, which could be used directly as hard currency in the Yin-Yang realm. Some metal objects that had fallen into the pool, whether originally Yin metal or having acquired some Yin over the long years, were all valuable treasures needed for the growth of the Golden Toad's clones.

Not to mention, the place where the Earth Yin Spirits were located was emanating bursts of spiritual energy, which clearly indicated that the main body of the Earth Yin Spirit Vein was nurtured by a considerable amount of Earth Yin Spiritual Energy.

This object not only creates yin and yang with the earth's yang spiritual essence, but also possesses some profound principles of the earth's yin way. The earth's yin spirit entering a state of enlightenment must be related to the earth's yin spiritual veins.

"Dang..."

Not long after, a soft knocking sound came from outside the underground palace. Yan Tianchou knew without looking that it was the guardian spirit who protected the previous generation of Bright Moon Spirits, and the teacher of the current generation of Earth Yin Spirits, Scholar Deng.

However, Grand Secretary Deng was a highly respected figure, and even though the door to the underground palace was open, he did not barge in directly.

"Phew—" When Su Ji awoke from his enlightenment, Grand Scholar Deng had been waiting outside the door for over a hundred breaths.

Upon learning of Deng Xiaoping's arrival from Yan Tianchou, Su Ji hurriedly went to greet him, saying, "Deng Xiaoping's noble character and integrity are truly admirable!"

Grand Scholar Deng couldn't help but smile: "Being able to cultivate outside the gate is something I'd be more than happy to do, how could I dare to come in and disturb you..."

Ultimately, it was all because Grand Scholar Deng's cultivation level in the Insight Realm was too low. Otherwise, he could have sensed the situation inside simply by using his Heavenly Soul Sensing and then transmitted his voice.

Although Su Ji was not the master of this place, he knew about the teacher-student relationship between the Earth Spirit and Scholar Deng. Even if he could not invite the spirit into the pool, he could at least chat with it for a while under the osmanthus tree.

So the two of them arrived at the osmanthus tree one after the other.

Su Ji didn't hold back. While his insights were still fresh, he began to discuss the principles of Yin and Yang with Grand Scholar Deng.

The principles of Yin and Yang are nothing more than three fundamental methods, which Su Ji listed one by one from low to high, greatly benefiting Scholar Deng.

After Su Ji finished explaining the concept of "Yin and Yang Transformation," Grand Scholar Deng's eyes lit up, and he became much more lively.

"Many thanks to the Spirit General Jian Ri! The Dongxuan Master realm, which has been confining me for many years, has finally broken through its bottleneck with the help of the root technique [Yin Yang Transformation]!"

Previously, due to the influence of the fate of humanity and the nation, Grand Scholar Deng's understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth was extremely vague. Although he had long accumulated enough cultivation to advance to the level of a Daoist mage, he had not yet reached that level and could only remain trapped there.

Now, not only has Grand Scholar Deng abandoned humanity and the fate of the nation, but also gained some enlightenment under the laurel tree under the teachings of Su Ji, and finally broke through to the level of the Dongxuan Master.

For the former Grand Scholar Deng, the level of his Dongxuan cultivation was not a big deal, since he didn't need to go out and fight with others.

However, ever since Su Ji created the "Dongxuan Tongzhen" living dantian secret method with the "Xiaoyin Yang Fa", the importance of the "Xiaoyin Yang Fa" has suddenly risen to the point of being a matter of life and death.

"Very good, then I will protect Lord Deng!" Su Ji was also happy for Grand Secretary Deng. The two were not only friends despite their age difference, but the other was also the grandfather of Zhang Xiaolian's mother. If he could really become a ghost immortal one day, it would be a good story.

Under Su Ji's guidance and protection, Grand Scholar Deng quickly and safely advanced to the level of Dongxuan Master. All he needed to do was buy the Yang Mica and Yin Mica to construct a living dantian that could be driven by the circulation of Yin and Yang!
Grand Scholar Deng was overjoyed and immediately went to arrange for the activation of the dantian, while Su Ji continued to wait there, thinking it would be good to absorb the earth's yin energy for a while longer.

About fifteen minutes later, a new change suddenly occurred in the center of the pool.

Before anyone knew it, the chubby Earth Spirit had transformed into a toad with a body as white as jade. As the white jade toad's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, streams of Earth Spirit Liquid flowed into the white jade toad's belly.

Yan Tianchou quickly reminded him, "The Earth Yin Spirit seems to be somewhat different from the previous generation of Bright Moon Spirits..."

Logically speaking, the previous generation of Moon Spirits passed away and reincarnated more than a hundred years ago, while this generation of Earth Spirits seems to have been born only in recent decades.

Of course, birds and beasts can lay eggs, and so can earth spirits, but Su Ji always felt that this generation of earth spirits, like these two laurel trees, seemed to have been tainted with some of the aura of the Taiyin Star...

"Could it be that the previous generation of Taiyin Spirits used some kind of treasure from Taiyin Star to defy fate and change the destiny of this generation of Diyin Spirits?"

The previous generation of Moon Spirits suffered severe injuries three or four hundred years ago. They may have tried countless methods but still failed to survive. It is normal for them to use the remaining treasures on the Earth Spirits.

Let alone earth spirits, even living creatures, the smaller they are, the more likely they are to influence future development.

If this chubby Earth Spirit truly possesses some kind of aptitude, it could explain why its cultivation is so slow... After all, the more powerful a creature is, the longer its growth cycle, and some of its energy might not even have time to be cultivated before being absorbed by a part of its body.

The reason why Su Ji's toad form cultivated so rapidly in the early stages but gradually slowed down in the later stages is because when there are more parts of the body that need nourishment, more resources are required for growth.

Not long after, the white jade toad transformed from the Earth Yin Spirit Realm suddenly trembled, and then, in front of Su Ji, it shed a layer of snow-white toad skin.

Instantly, the aura emanating from the white jade toad surged, causing the aquatic plants in the pond to sway joyfully, and even the branches of the two laurel trees to dance.

Observing this scene, Yan Tianchou suddenly gave a deduction result: "According to the current situation, the probability of the Earth Yin Spirit becoming a deity has increased from 42% to 61%, and the probability of the Bright Moon Spirit Realm becoming the Bright Moon Immortal Realm has also increased from 53% to 74%..."

"The probability of the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord becoming an immortal god remains at 54 percent, and the probability of the Great Sun Spirit Realm becoming a Great Sun Immortal Realm remains unchanged at 66 percent."

Clearly, after this incident, Yan Tianchou had even greater expectations for the Earthly Yin Spirit and the Bright Moon Spirit Realm.

Just as Su Ji was looking at the prediction data of Yantianchou and sighing, an unfamiliar voice came from the pool.

"Fellow Daoist Golden Toad, your staring at my body like this is truly strange to me..."

The earth spirit, which had originally been disguised as a fat cultivator, suddenly transformed into a graceful woman draped in a snow-white gauze dress.

Su Ji was taken aback by this.

Only then did he realize that the fat cultivator that the Earth Spirit had transformed into was probably just the appearance of a cultivator who had entered the Bright Moon Spirit Realm, at most an application of illusion.

Nowadays, the graceful woman who wears her shed toad skin as a veil seems to be the true form of an earth spirit in human form.

"Cough..." Su Ji glanced away, no longer looking at the graceful figure beneath the veil of bloodline.

The graceful woman, transformed from an earth spirit, suddenly smiled: "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Golden Toad's reaction, I would have really thought you were a toad too!"

Su Ji had been watching the white jade toad molt, which was like being watched undressed in front of the earth spirit.

"Hiss..." Su Ji couldn't help but feel a toothache.

His soul was human; he was merely curious about the metamorphosis and growth process of the white jade toad, and it wasn't some kind of voyeuristic lust among toads.

Although the Earth Spirit ultimately failed to see through Su Ji, it still left Su Ji somewhat embarrassed.

After all, even from a human perspective, Su Ji found the beautiful woman before him breathtakingly beautiful.
