The Mysterious Immortal, the Everlasting Lamp

"Unless the eldest brother has a fatal weakness that the master is holding in his hands."

Lu Wenze felt a chill run through his body.

I heard that my master had entered the late stage of the Dao Embryo realm a long time ago, but had not yet broken through to the Dao Core realm.

Does this mean that the higher the cultivation level of the chosen furnace vessel, the greater the improvement for oneself?

Or is it that the more emotion you invest, the better the effect?

Why does this secret method give me the illusion of facing the "Demonic Seed of the Dao Heart" technique from Huang Yi's novel "Turning Clouds and Overturning Rain"?

If I cultivate to the ninth level of the Dao Embryo Realm, will I also have to follow this path?

Lu Wenze thought of his closest relatives.

His mind had matured; he was no longer a young man, but rather the soul of a transmigrator from Earth.

"If a demonic shadow truly emerges and becomes my obsession, will it spread my secrets everywhere?"

Master has poured his emotions into his eldest brother Wen Yuliang. Will his Dao Demon Shadow think that his eldest brother Wen Yuliang is the most important person to Master?

So, by killing the eldest brother, the master's demonic obsession was relieved?

Lu Wenze couldn't process it.

He quickly opened the cabinet door and took out the two fire dragon oil lamps inside.

The moment the spark from the tinderbox ignited the wick of the azure silk lamp, a soft glow filled the entire room.

Lu Wenze lit both fire dragon oil lamps.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing unusual about the firelight.

I turned off a lamp, sat upright in the armchair, and quietly watched the gate.

The Demon Shadow shouldn't be so easy to deal with.

The flame of the fire dragon oil lamp does indeed have a remarkable effect in suppressing the demonic shadows and other strange phenomena.

However, the four senior brothers and their two companions had already lit the fire dragon oil lamp inside the room.

"My master once solemnly told me three rules."

"Other experienced seniors at the Fire Dragon Academy also told me to strictly abide by the rules."

What are the rules?

The first rule: Don't go out after dark.

The second rule is that you should not open the door to anyone who knocks at night.

The third rule is that the oil lamp inside the house must be kept burning forever.

"Rule number one: Don't go out after dark. Who knows what's wandering around outside the Fire Dragon Academy at night?"

"This rule is the most basic."

"With this rule in place, the second rule, which guarantees safety, becomes a prerequisite."

"Rule number two: Do ​​not open the door to anyone who knocks at night. This rule must be related to the inscription on the door latch."

[Unauthorized entry is prohibited.]

"I did not invite Dao Moying in."

"Even if the eldest brother's Dao Demon Shadow took advantage of the loophole, the rules written in this Dao script still took effect inside the room."

"Therefore, rule number three was derived."

"Even if uninvited people enter, the oil lamps inside will be kept burning, and those who abide by this rule will still have their lives protected."

"Senior Brother must have studied the relationship between these three rules and this Dao text."

"Only he could have orchestrated this scheme to extinguish the oil lamp in my room."

However, Dao Moying broke one of these three rules.

Lu Wenze carefully recalled the demonic figure that had emerged from the cabinet door and the suppression it had exerted on him in the darkness of the room.

Lu Wenze's soul and thoughts were frozen, and he had no power to fight back against the Dao Demon Shadow.

"My natal magic weapon is based on the Fire Dragon Oil Lamp, and since I lit this lamp in the room, it naturally possesses the power to counterattack against the Demon Shadow."

"I did not invite Dao Moying into the house."

The fourth senior brother will most likely open the door and invite the 'master' outside into the house.

Lu Wenze has a very active mind. He uses the information he has to deduce the most logical explanation.

This is also the version of events that Lu Wenze believes is closest to the truth.

"Master, Eldest Brother~~!"

There are four people left in Courtyard No. 2.

Master, Senior Brother Wen Yuliang, Liu Bai, and Lu Wenze.

"Grandmaster, what kind of place is the Fire Dragon Academy you founded?"

Lu Wenze turned around and stared blankly at the portrait of the patriarch hanging on the wall.

This is a picture of a young man descending on a fire dragon.

The fire dragon was fierce; with just a glance, towering flames erupted from its body, turning the earth into crimson inferno.

The young man was elegant and refined, with an extraordinary bearing and an otherworldly air. Holding a folding bone fan, his gaze swept across the world as he descended from the sky atop a dragon's back.

This is the founder of the Fire Dragon Taoist Academy.

Legend has it that it originated from a great immortal sect in Qinzhou, and established a Taoist temple here.

As for the relationship between Dean Huolong and the patriarch, the master has never said.

No one knows what his cultivation level is.

In short, some within the Dao Academy say he is in the late stage of Dao Dan, while others say his Dao Embryo has nurtured a Nascent Soul, already reaching the Dao Infant realm.

Lu Wenze had been in the Fire Dragon Academy for half a year, but had never met the abbot, Master Fire Dragon.

However, when the stewards of the Treasure Pavilion mentioned Daoist Huolong, they all gave him a thumbs up, praising the abbot for being public-spirited and righteous, and for never discriminating against them, the independent cultivators.

It was only after Master Huolong spoke up that they, a group of homeless wanderers struggling on the brink of life and death, were brought under the wing of Huolong Academy and made into outer disciples.

Master Huolong assigned them tasks in the Treasure Pavilion and the Transmission Pavilion, truly integrating them into the Huolong Taoist Academy and making them a part of the academy.

"Public-spirited? Does the Dean know about the secret of the Shadow Demon?"

When Lu Wenze raised this idea, he shook his head slightly.

The Master knew the secrets of the Demon Shadow, and the Eldest Brother knew the secrets of the Demon Shadow.

Master must know the secrets of the Demon Shadow.

"The Fire Dragon Academy is shrouded in an evil aura. Forget it, these secrets are beyond my current knowledge. With my current strength, knowing more might not be a good thing."

The two most important things are to improve one's cultivation level and to collect materials to upgrade the Eternal Evergreen Lamp to a superior-grade magic artifact.

Both are matters of life and death.

Once one's cultivation level is high enough, and one thoroughly investigates the Fire Dragon Academy, one will naturally discover the secrets hidden within this malevolent academy.

Lu Wenze returned to the bedside, sat cross-legged, and continued his cultivation.

The natal magic weapon is integrated into the soul, and the powerful control greatly improves the efficiency of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Through the circulation of meridians, it is transformed into Dao breath, and then the Dao breath is condensed into true qi to nourish the Dao embryo.

Once the condensed true energy enters the Dao embryo, it cannot be used.

This is a drawback of the first three stages of the Dao Embryo.

Only by reaching the fourth level of the Dao Embryo stage can one release true qi outwards, interact with external spiritual energy, and draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It can be said that the entire process of cultivating the Dao embryo is the foundation building.

The Dao Embryo is the Dao Field, and even more so, the furnace; the entire cultivation process is for refining Qi.

Cultivate the innate Qi.

The essence of heaven and earth circulates within the body, and the Dao breath condenses in the dantian, refining it into true qi to nurture the Dao embryo.

The Dao embryo is like a furnace, nurturing true qi into ki.

Hehehe~~~

"The sixteenth true qi enters the Dao embryo."

"My speed in condensing Dao energy has increased."

Compared to when he first formed his Dao Embryo, Lu Wenze's speed in condensing Dao Qi was more than ten times faster.

One hundred strands of Daoist energy condensed into a single stream of true qi.

"Once the true qi gives birth to the four layers of embryonic light of the Dao embryo, the Dao embryo becomes the Dao field of the true qi."

"This allows one to abandon the process of cultivating Dao Qi and directly comprehend the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which then enters the Dao Embryo and is refined into true Qi."

"My Dao Embryo Foundation Building Method can only be cultivated up to the third level of the Dao Embryo realm."
