Chapter 7

At dawn the next day, Li Jian, Duan Yan, Jiang Yuanchen, and Li Wen got up early and collected pure Yang Purple Qi to cultivate in the courtyard. The Taixu Dao Sect loved the morning Qi of the sun, and the disciples had developed the habit of waking up early to cultivate their Qi.

After cultivating, Li Jian said to Duan Yan, "I need a lot of things when I go down the mountain this time. I'll have to trouble Junior Brother to take care of them." After that, Li Jian took out a list from his sleeve and gave it to Duan Yan.

"Seven hundred pieces of wolf hair, sheep hair, and rabbit hair, five hundred catties of pine ink, one thousand catties of cinnabar, yellow paper …" As Duan Yan read out those things one by one, he could not help but smile bitterly, "There are so many daily necessities such as brush, ink, paper, inkstone, incense, candles, and yellow paper. I wonder how much food there is?"

Li Jian took out another list, "One thousand catties of rice, three hundred catties of millet, three hundred catties of green pole grass, one hundred catties of sealwort, and one hundred catties of Tianqi …"

The Golden Spring Outer Sanctum was a reserve for cultivation, so they were very particular about their food. Although the Taixu Taoism did not have much taboos against meat, they would avoid it if they could, and the food they ate had to be specially prepared. For example, the rice they ate was specially prepared 'green essence rice'. In addition to dyeing the rice black with the green pole grass, they also needed to soak the rice with herbs and dry it repeatedly …

The process was complicated. According to Li Wen, it was specially to find work for these outer sanctum disciples. After all, these outer sanctum disciples were cultivating in the outer sanctum. Although their meals were provided by the Taoism Sect, there was no specialized person to cook for them. They took turns to chop firewood, fetch water, open up the fields, plant vegetables, start a fire, and cook. Therefore, Li Jian and the other managers called it "training their muscles and bones".

However, this effort was not wasted. The refined rice and vegetables were beneficial to the human body and would help them speed up the cultivation of Qi. Only such a big sect would deliberately pay attention to these things.

Refining essence into Qi was to refine one's own essence and the essence absorbed from the outside world into Qi. However, the essence absorbed from the outside world was easy to have impurities, so it needed to be specially processed before being consumed.

"Fortunately, the vegetables that cannot be stored for a long time are grown by the outer sanctum. Otherwise, this list would be really difficult." Duan Yan said, "Although I have prepared for it and do not lack things like rice and herbs, the daily necessities such as stationery and candles are too much. I'm afraid I will need to prepare for another three days."

"Well, this time it is mainly because the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting suddenly became popular in the outer sanctum. In addition to the large amounts of yellow paper and cinnabar that were wasted in drawing talismans, the Storage Department's inventory was simply not enough. That's why I suddenly added a batch of daily necessities. " Li Jian didn't mind waiting for another three days. After all, they had been given seven days to come out. The remaining two days were enough for Li Wen to have some fun outside and train.

"By the way, the disciples of the monastery and the merchants will be in charge of the procurement. I know a restaurant that serves good vegetarian dishes. It's a good place to welcome you and your two nephews."

Yesterday, Li Wen did not enjoy the vegetarian meal to his heart's content. Elder Li Jian was not there, and even Jiang Yuanchen was sullen. Now that he heard someone was treating, he immediately raised his hand and agreed. He pulled Jiang Yuanchen and Elder Li Jian to the restaurant mentioned by Duan Yan.

…

Duan Yan was a regular customer of the Thousand Brilliance Restaurant. After greeting the owner, the four of them went up to the second floor. Li Wen, on the other hand, kept staring at the two rugged men on the first floor.

A catty of liquor, two catties of beef, and four white steamed buns. They were exactly the same as the people in the martial arts world. Li Wen had been on the mountain for a long time. Now that he saw the real people in the martial arts world, he was very curious.

"Stop looking!" Jiang Yuanchen poked him from behind. "What's so interesting about those people in the martial arts world?"

On the second floor, Li Jian said, "The cultivation of those people in the martial arts world is not the top. I remember when I was traveling in the mortal world, there were several martial arts masters who had built their own foundation and comprehended the Innate Dao. These martial arts cultivators are also worth watching. It's a pity that the path of human immortality has been cut off. Even the King Of Chess Palace, which inherited the martial arts of celestial beings, has to learn from the methods of celestial immortals. "

There were five immortals in heaven and earth: celestial, celestial, human, and ghost. These five immortals represented the five methods of cultivation.

Celestial Immortals had immortal Yang Spirits. After passing the Thunder Tribulation, they lived in the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Realm. They could be said to be the leader of all immortals and the highest goal of Taoism and Immortal Sects.

Earth Immortals had immortal bodies and lived with the world forever. Most of them used the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers to merge with their bodies, so they could have the same combat power as Celestial Immortals. But the Tao of Earth Immortals was not as high as that of Celestial Immortals. Every once in a while, they would have to face the four in nine heavenly tribulations.

Human Immortals had the body and soul as one. If the body was not broken, the spirit would not be extinguished. This was the biggest characteristic of this Dao. Celestial Immortals were free and unfettered between heaven and earth, and Earth Immortals lived with the earth forever. Human Immortals just melted their essence, qi, and spirit into one, and walked the path of celestial beings. Unfortunately, the methods of Earth Immortals and Human Immortals were almost extinct in the divine continent. It was impossible to achieve the fruit of celestial beings.

Immortals referred to those cultivators who walked the path of God. In the battle of immortals and gods five thousand years ago, the path of God was defeated, and the fate of the path of God was devoured by the Dao Sects and Celestial Sects. Only immortals referred to those Earth Immortals, and most of these Earth Immortals were conferred by many Celestial Sects.

Ghost Immortals, all living beings in heaven and earth would only die once. But after death, if they had the chance to preserve their souls, they could turn to the path of ghosts. Although ghost immortals were the lowest among the five immortal Daos, they were the condensation of Yin Death Nether Qi. But having an extra chance of survival was also a way out for many cultivators. Many cultivators would turn to the path of ghost immortals after being killed or suffering from Qigong Deviation in their cultivation. They would undergo the Nine Yang Ghost Tribulation and train their Yang Spirit again to achieve the fruit of Celestial Immortals.

Strictly speaking, the highest fruit of Tao among the five immortals was the Celestial Immortal Realm. Whether it was the path of Celestial Immortals leading to the Celestial Immortal Realm, or the path of Earthly Immortals passing the Four Nine Tribulations and becoming immortals, or the line of Human Immortals condensing the Celestial Dharmakaya, or the line of Celestial Immortals achieving the Divine God Karma Rank, or the line of Ghost Immortals tempering the Nine Thunder Tribulations, the final result was the Celestial Being Realm, which was the same as the Great Way — Refining the Void and Integrating the Way.

"The King Of Chess Palace was inherited from the King Of Chess, one of the ten Venerables. Three thousand years ago, the founder of the King Of Chess Palace found the Moon-Shattering Bow left by the King of Chess. He combined the path of Celestial Immortals with the path of Human Immortals and established the line of King Of Chess Palace. Unfortunately, with the reshaping of this world, martial arts has completely declined. "After Li Jian finished speaking, Jiang Yuanchen looked at the sky unconsciously.

The Ten Venerables Mending the Heavens was a myth and legend from ten thousand years ago. Among them, the King Of Chess was a Martial Immortal. It was said that the stars in the sky today were transformed from the moon fragments produced when the King Of Chess used the Moon-Shattering Bow to shatter the bright moon.

Duan Yan also echoed, "Today's cultivators, in addition to the great prosperity of the Celestial Immortals, are those who have failed to turn to the path of Celestial Immortals or rely on the path of Ghost Immortals. Although these people in the martial arts world have inherited scattered martial arts cultivation, they can only reach the Foundation Building Realm at most. After that, it is difficult to cultivate.

"Moreover, many of these so-called martial arts world are disciples of our immortal sects. Many of their cultivation methods are the methods of cultivating Qi of the immortal sects and Celestial Immortals, which makes it difficult to inherit the pure martial arts of Human Immortals." Jiang Yuanchen also reacted and said, "Not to mention the cultivation methods of the real Human Immortals, even if they succeed in the Foundation Building Realm, it can only be regarded as the Foundation Building Realm of the Celestial Immortals, which is far from the Celestial Immortals. It can't revitalize the lineage of Human Immortals at all."

After the Foundation Building Realm of the Celestial Immortals, they focused on the cultivation of the Mud-pill Palace of the divine sense, which was very different from the lower dantian of the lineage of Human Immortals.

Li Jian nodded. This was the truth. Now that the lineage of Celestial Immortals was flourishing in the world, how could they let these ancient orthodoxies revive again? Even the lineage of Celestial Immortals had not been born to revive the Divine Path because of the secret suppression of those Primordial Spirit Venerables. The only three ancient gods were also suppressed in the West.

While the four of them were chatting, the food had also been served. Because Li Jian and Duan Yan were both senior cultivators, they had already reached the state of semi-fasting. After taking a small bite, they put down their chopsticks and chatted on the side. Only Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen did not have a good meal yesterday, so they picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to fill their stomachs.

But when Jiang Yuanchen inserted his chopsticks into a piece of stewed tofu, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He suddenly infused his chopsticks with True Qi and poked at the plate of tofu.

"Huh?" After seeing Jiang Yuanchen's action, the two old seniors who were chatting on the side also looked over. Li Jian asked doubtfully, "Illusion?"

A Spirit Pearl flew out from the top of Li Jian's head and spun around the four of them. Suddenly, the white smoke around the four of them gradually dissipated, and the dishes on the table also revealed their true appearance. At the same time, Duan Yan secretly lit a joss stick in his sleeve and used the God Inviting Technique to summon the guardian of the Taixu Daoist Temple.

Jiang Yuanchen focused his eyes and saw that the plate of stewed tofu was a bowl of Tianqi tortoise soup. Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen's faces darkened. Elder Li Jian and Temple Master Duan Yan also did not look good.

Daoism had its own commandments. Although the Celestial Immortals had few commandments that transcended the world, killing and lust could not be easily broken. The Celestial Immortals valued life and treating human life as grass was a big taboo. And Taixu Taoism cultivated Pure Yang Purple Qi. Before reaching the Golden Core, he also had to try his best to protect his Primordial Yang. As for meat and vegetables, although there was not much to pay attention to, dog, tortoise, and swan meat were definitely not to be eaten.

Jiang Yuanchen's face was cold and indifferent as he stared at the two people, one old and one young, sitting at the table not far away. In the world in Jiang Yuanchen's dream, there was also a sect that was similar to this world's Daoism. That sect also had the saying that they did not eat three kinds of meat. Although the two worlds were very different, since they were quite similar in these minor aspects, then there should be a specific meaning. Not far away, the two people were preparing to plot against Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen. Jiang Yuanchen naturally did not have a good expression on his face towards them.

"Water Moon Heavenly Paradise?" When Li Jian recognized the identity of the two people, a golden light descended from the sky. Suddenly, the surrounding scene changed, and the second floor of the restaurant was completely sealed.

"Great Void Guardian?" When Li Jian revealed the identity of the two people, the old man in white stared at the golden light and said solemnly. Unexpectedly, the incense in this city was so prosperous. The power of this guardian was actually at the Jade Liquid Stage?

On the divine continent, the Celestial Dao declined. Taixu Taoism used a Celestial Dao Artifact, Mountain River Seal, to confer various Gods of Mountains and Rivers to rule the land of Spiritual State. But other than these Earth Spiritual Gods, Taixu Taoism also had its own exclusive guardian. In every Great Void Daoist Temple, there was a ranking of guardian that was used to restrain the incense and cultivate the guardian. This was also the ultimate defense of these Daoist temples.

However, as the temple master of this place, Duan Yan controlled many of the surrounding Daoist temples. Of course, this wasn't the only method. Not long after, a few more divine lights descended. They were all the Gods of Mountains and Rivers that the Great Void Daoist Temple worshiped. After receiving Duan Yan's message, they hurried over.

Li Wen secretly cursed the old man and the young man. He also hurriedly hid behind Elder Li Jian. The old man and the young man were both wearing blue Water Moon Daoist robes. The old man's hair was tied into a bun, while the young man wore a scholar's crown. But Li Wen couldn't see through their cultivation. Of course, he knew that these two people were true cultivators of the Celestial Dao.

"Golden Core cultivator!" Duan Yan couldn't help but exclaim after checking the old man's cultivation through the help of a few gods.

Li Jian was also shocked. The Water Moon Heavenly Paradise and the Taixu Taoism didn't have a good relationship. They actually dared to send a Golden Core disciple to cause trouble in the hinterland of the Taixu Taoism? Weren't they afraid of being killed by the great cultivators of the Daoist Sect and dying in a foreign land?

"Senior, may I know your name? A Golden Core cultivator shouldn't be a nobody in the Water Moon Heavenly Paradise, right?" Li Jian calmed his mind and said.

But the old man ignored Li Jian's words. He looked at the dark clouds in the sky with a face full of wariness. In the dark clouds, there was a divine sense firmly locked on to him. The Yin Spirit had manifested. It was clearly a Golden Core cultivator!

"The Water Moon Heavenly Paradise is here for the hundred year promise again? Counting the days, there are still more than ten years left, right? "A clear voice came from the dark clouds.
