Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

"You are born with the destiny of [Winged Fire], and your Qi is like a snake! The Vermilion Bird spreads its wings, and the fire follows the wings! [Winged Fire] is fond of the wind, and is the fire that burns the wild, also known as [Wandering Fire]."

"This person is destined for a life of wandering and expansion, and is adept at traveling far and wide."

Hearing this, Lin Mo thought of his [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror], whose convenience of traveling between the two worlds was perfect for wandering around.

It perfectly matches one's destiny.

Wang Lu continued, "The virtuous man transforms into a snake, and his flames spread. If you wish to preserve your life, you must guard your mind and spirit, and rein in the scattered fire, lest your life-giving flame dissipate with the wind."

"Given your spiritual attributes and aptitude, the path of metal and fire is most suitable for you. You may also study the Tail Fire, Chamber Fire, and Beak Fire techniques. But remember, you must first ingest a mouthful of Fire Qi to enter the Dao in order to align with your destiny."

"This person should avoid being confined to one place for too long, or being locked in a dead end for too long. The fire energy will not be able to spread and will instead burn the person. The water-related practices should also be avoided, as water and fire clash and damage the foundation of this person's destiny."

Lin Mo frowned and asked, "Senior brother, is it only possible to cultivate fire-elemental true qi? Can't we cultivate other elements?"

Xu Changqing laughed heartily: "Junior Brother Wang, this newcomer has quite the ambition."

Wang Lu looked somewhat embarrassed and explained to Lin Mo, "Junior Brother Lin, you don't understand. It's already incredibly difficult for us to consume even one grade of True Qi, let alone multiple grades. You must know that human strength has its limits. Cultivating more is not necessarily a good thing. You can't bite off more than you can chew."

Lin Mo understood; it wasn't that one couldn't cultivate more Dao Qi, but rather that ordinary cultivators couldn't do it.

Xu Changqing took out a jade slip: "This is the 'Azure Phoenix True Fire Scripture,' which perfectly matches your [Winged Fire] destiny."

Lin Mo eagerly took the jade slip and scanned the entire cultivation technique inside with his spiritual sense.

I was overjoyed.

The Great Zhou Dynasty's Baiyujing cultivated the Three Powers, Yin and Yang, and Five Elements Qi, totaling only thirty paths.

The Star Luo Continent has three thousand Qi paths.

It's so great not having to squeeze onto the racetrack.

Continuing to study the cultivation technique, Lin Mo frowned and asked, "Senior brother, what is the significance of the Qi absorption grade in relation to one's cultivation path?"

Xu Changqing explained, "The first step in cultivation is to ingest a mouthful of true qi. This is of utmost importance, and it is divided into nine grades and thirty-six levels. The first grade is the most prestigious, and the ninth grade is the lowest. Generally speaking, those below the seventh grade have no chance of establishing a foundation, and those below the fourth grade face numerous difficulties in achieving the Golden Core stage. Those who do not reach the third grade and attempt to condense a Nascent Soul are almost certainly doomed!"

Lin Mo's heart sank, and he immediately pressed for an answer: "Which one is the first-level Qi of the first rank?"

Xu Changqing solemnly said, "The true Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements of the Four Directions, the Three Lights of the Sun and Moon, there are three thousand Qi. Among the first-grade Qi, the first level of the first rank, within my Creation Sect, are the [Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi of the Sun] and the [Three Yin True Qi of the Moon]. These two Qi are the origin of the Sun and Moon, embodying the extremes of Yin and Yang, and symbolizing the beginning of chaos. One Qi transforms into Yin and Yang, the two polarities give rise to the four symbols, the four symbols give rise to the eight trigrams, and they undergo countless transformations. They are the ancestors of the true Qi of Heaven and Earth."

Wang Lu smiled at Lin Mo and said, "Junior Brother Lin is destined for the [Winged Fire], but you want to cultivate the [Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi of the Sun]. I advise you not to ruin your future."

Lin Mo countered, "Can't it be repaired?"

Wang Lu's smile was somewhat mocking and contemptuous.

Xu Changqing sighed, "They are still young and unaware of the true extent of their abilities. No one can cultivate this [Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi of the Sun]."

Lin Mo pressed further, "Why can't you cultivate it? Is it because you're missing a cultivation technique?"

Xu Changqing explained, "Not really. It's available in the cultivation technique pavilion, and any disciple can consult it. Moreover, the [Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi of the Sun] is the easiest to gather Qi from. You can gather Qi wherever the sun shines. However, anyone who ingests Qi into their body will die suddenly."

"Why is that?" Lin Mo asked, slightly surprised.

Xu Changqing frowned: "Don't you know that one cannot attain enlightenment by sharing the same Qi, but rather by competing with one's own destiny?"

Lin Mo was completely bewildered: "What does it mean that those who share the same Qi cannot attain enlightenment, and that their Qi numbers clash?"

"He really is an ignorant and fearless newcomer," Xu Changqing remarked as he explained the reason.

Lin Mo understood after listening.

What does it mean that one cannot attain enlightenment even if one shares the same Qi?

Simply put, Qi is like the path to enlightenment, and the end of the path is the foundation building and enlightenment.

However, a single wisp of Qi can only be used by one person to attain enlightenment and establish a foundation.

Once a Qi cultivator becomes a Qi practitioner, if the Foundation Establishment cultivators above them do not perish, advance, or change positions, then the newcomer will forever be stuck at the most crucial step of Foundation Establishment and Dao Attainment.

The path to advancement is blocked, and no one is establishing a foundation or proving their Dao, while the number of cultivators is increasing day by day, which has led to another terrible situation.

The battle over Qi and numbers!

We all cultivate the same Qi and walk the same path. The road is only so wide. As the number of people increases, the path becomes more and more crowded, and everyone's cultivation efficiency and understanding of Qi will decrease.

To go deeper and further, and reach that unattainable end of Qi Refining, one needs to compete for resources.

This is the debate over Qi and numbers.

The most direct reflection and personal experience of the debate over Qi is that, with the same Qi and the same set of practices, the more practitioners there are, the greater the reduction in the efficiency of cultivation.

The only way to make progress is to compete for Qi.

Only by accumulating enough Qi can one rank higher and, when the opportunity for advancement arises, gain the top spot.

Simply put, there are too many monks and not enough porridge, so there aren't enough resources to go around for cultivation. Ideally, a cultivation technique should be passed down only to one person.

Wang Lu continued to explain: "[The Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi of the Sun] was too easy to gather, so there were many practitioners in the past, which led to low cultivation efficiency. No one could prove the Dao and establish a foundation, which ultimately resulted in many people killing each other."

"To prevent lower-level cultivators from harming each other, the higher-level cultivators who practice this Qi have set a prohibition: only those with the right affinity can practice this Qi. Ordinary lower-level cultivators have shallow opportunities and will be punished if they arbitrarily cultivate by clinging to relationships and creating karma."

"No way, does that mean no one will cultivate if we don't allow it? I can hide and cultivate secretly. Once I've achieved something, who knows who will kill whom?"

Lin Mo muttered in disbelief.

For the sake of his fellow disciples, the cultivator set a prohibition.

That's complete nonsense. They just want to monopolize the Qi and prevent their cultivation efficiency from being slowed down.

"Junior brother, are you planning to give it a try? You'd better not make a mistake." Xu Changqing and Wang Lu exchanged a glance, a mocking smile playing on their lips.

Lin Mo said firmly, "I don't believe in the ban."

"Alright, if that's the case, then let you give it a try."

Xu Changqing entered the hall and soon found a scroll of jade in his hand.

There were sticky notes hanging on it.

【The True Explanation of the Great Sun of the Jade Purity of the Eastern Pole】.

Xu Changqing handed over the bamboo slip: "This is the cultivation method of my Creation Sect, the [Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi of the Sun]. Junior Brother Lin, I'm warning you upfront: anyone who doesn't have a great opportunity will surely die if they read this."

"So what if I die? At worst, I'll just start over and cultivate the [Nine Yang Purple Flower True Qi] in a different world. That old silver coin can't exactly hunt me down from another realm, can he?"

Lin Mo, relying on the help of the cheat code, was not afraid at all and took the jade slip and unfolded it.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing and Wang Lu's expressions changed drastically.

They never expected that this young man would be so ignorant and fearless.

Without a second thought, they immediately used their escape lights to stay far away from him.

The unfolded jade slip gleamed with golden light, and countless talismans danced on it.

Lin Mo scanned the area with his spiritual sense, imprinting everything on it into his sea of ​​consciousness.

An overwhelming joy welled up in his heart. After being stifled in the Great Zhou for so long, he had finally obtained the inheritance of a celestial sect for the first time.

next moment.

Lin Mo instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Head up.

"Boom!"

Without any warning, a massive burst of purplish-blue lightning and fire erupted from the void, engulfing him directly, and then spreading outwards with a terrifying destructive force.

"Holy crap!"

Lin Mo's consciousness was instantly swallowed by darkness.

The ground where he stood instantly left a deep crater, with hot air rising and magma rolling inside.

A bamboo scroll was closed and floated quietly in mid-air.

Wang Lu and Xu Changqing returned.

Xu Changqing withdrew his magic, glanced at the deep pit in the ground, and asked Wang Lu, "Is that kid still alive?"

Wang Lu shook his head and sneered, "Is that possible? The aura has dissipated, leaving no trace whatsoever. He's as dead as can be."

"It's good that the fool died early, so as not to waste the sect's resources. We did not violate the sect rules and fulfilled our obligation to inform him. He was ignorant and fearless and asked for his own death. He has no one to blame but himself."

Xu Changqing touched the bamboo slip, sighed, and then scanned the deep pit with his spiritual sense.

"Strange, where's the storage bag?"

Wang Lu then realized something was wrong; the storage bag Lin Mo had just received was gone, and it contained one hundred magic coins.

"Could it have been blasted away by heavenly lightning?"

The two looked up at the void, then shrank back with lingering fear, quickly averting their gaze and daring not to complain that the cultivation had gone too far.

The two felt quite regretful for not being able to collect Lin Mo's one hundred magic coins.
