After listening to Shigong Jue's bloody accusations, Wang Chen didn't feel much sympathy. Instead, he was thinking about the huge amount of information in these words. There were three keywords — 'Divine Taoism', 'Ancient Magic Weapon', and 'Quanzhen One'. Divine Taoism meant that the revival of magic and power seemed to have happened not long ago. According to Shigong Jue, it should have happened in the last few decades.
"Grandmaster Duke Jiu died of internal injuries 19 years ago. According to the time he got the treasure, practiced, and founded the sect, it should have happened in about 30 years. That is to say, the divine Taoism happened during the reign of Emperor Jiajing. "
"Emperor Jiajing was also known as the Taoist Emperor. If the ancient magic weapon was born during his reign, it wouldn't be surprising if Taoism got most of it. According to Shigong Jue, it seems that when the divine Taoism appeared, Buddhism didn't have much influence! " Wang Chen was a little suspicious. Shamans who danced as gods had power, but other religions were so calm — it didn't make sense!
He had to ask about the details slowly.
"Shigong Jue!" Wang Chen asked, "I've heard you mention Zhenren many times. What is the realm of Zhenren?"
Shigong Jue said, "Young Grandmaster, the Gold Pill of the Quanzhen Sect is self-sufficient, and the Taoist Foundation of the Zhengyi Sect is self-sufficient. Once you become a Zhenren, your natal magic power will condense into a Taoist foundation in your body. From then on, your magic power will be endless, and you will be self-sufficient. You will never have to worry about your magic power collapsing! "
"Then what is magic power?" Wang Chen was confused.
Shigong Jue thought for a while and said with a frown, "Young Grandmaster, when the disaster happened at the foot of Mount Mao, I just received the Talisman. I only had a little magic power in my body from my master. After my master taught me some Qi Cultivation Method, he went out to fight against the enemy. After the fire, all the senior brothers who had magic power in our sect were killed — they lost the inheritance of magic power."
"So you asked me, I really don't know!"
"Received the Talisman?" Wang Chen frowned and said, "Your magic power was given by someone? You didn't cultivate your own Qi? "
"Practicing Qi?" Shi Shigong was a little surprised. "If practicing Qi can cultivate mana, why do all the cultivators in the world have to be mortal bodies before the birth of the magic treasures, pretending to be mysterious and deceiving?"
"It's not about the revival of Spiritual Qi … Forget it!" Wang Chen said helplessly, "Your Taoist Law Manifestation doesn't follow the rules!"
Shi Shigong explained, "In this world, as long as there is a Dao of Quanzhen, they will need to rely on the Daoist Masters to bestow their mana. The Quanzhen is known as the Enlightened Light, while the Righteous One is known as the Receiving Scripture. Only those who have Enlightened Light and Receiving Scripture can be considered Daoist Masters. Otherwise, even if they are Daoist Masters, they are just fake Daoist Masters. The imperial court recognizes them, but we cultivators don't. "
"The Enlightening Talisman can't be used easily. Even those with powerful magic power, as long as they haven't become Zhenren, will suffer a great loss of vitality when they enlighten their disciples. They won't be able to recover even after three to five years. Only those Zhenren who are self-sufficient, have perfect magic power, and have achieved the Taoist root can easily enlighten their disciples."
"Therefore, if there is no Zhenren, the inheritance of the sect will be cut off. They can only rely on the Taoist to enlighten their disciples with their hard-earned magic power. How can they increase their magic power? Unless … "
Wang Chen frowned and asked, "Unless what?"
Shi Shigong struggled for a while and then said with his teeth clenched, "Unless there is an ancient magic treasure passed down in the sect — like the coffin in which young Grandmaster lives, a magical magic treasure. Young Grandmaster, the world's Taoist Law has been extinct for a long time. For hundreds of years, there hasn't been a Zhenren or a Taoist with magic power. How can there be a world of great competition for the Taoist Law Manifestation? "
"I once heard from Grandmaster Duke Jiu that all the magic power in the world originates from ancient magic treasures. When the magic power first appeared, it was absorbed by the Zhenren from ancient magic treasures. Having an ancient magic treasure is equivalent to having a Zhenren, and it has endless magical uses … This is also the reason why Lower Mao Mountain has not been removed! "
"Ancient magic treasure?" Wang Chen was stunned. He looked back at his Vitality Chamber — he didn't see it go anywhere in the ancient times! And no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like something that could absorb magic power! Could it be … that there was some dark technology in this Vitality Chamber that he hadn't discovered, or that it could only be used after 'refining'?
"Then why don't you use this' ancient magic treasure 'to become a Zhenren? Didn't Lower Mao Mountain leave a method to absorb magic power from magic treasures? "Wang Chen asked curiously.
Shi Shigong's face instantly turned red. He said with difficulty, "I'm useless … I've let down the Grandmasters and the Elders." He banged his forehead and said painfully, "Not everyone knows the method to absorb magic power from ancient magic treasures, but it is widely known … How could I not know? But … "
Shi Shigong gritted his teeth and said, "This technique requires a Daoist to refine a magic treasure, and he will receive the feedback of magic power … I've been cultivating for nineteen years, but I haven't even touched the threshold of the Daoist realm … I'm ashamed to face the Patriarch in the underworld!" Shi Shigong wept bitterly.
"It really needs to be refined!" Wang Chen was speechless.
"What is the Taoist Realm?" Wang Chen sighed with emotion. "First, tell me about the various realms of cultivators! You've inherited the teachings of Maoshan Sect. It's not like you can't even become a Daoist after 19 years, right? "
Shi Shigong explained, "A Daoist is only below a Zhenren. Daoists have a true spirit, which opens up their wisdom. Their ability to use their mana to the finest detail, surpassing those below the Daoist level by countless times. Their wisdom is connected to the spirit, and they are able to inspire the spirit in their mind. The Righteous Sect is able to form a Daoist talisman in their mind. For example, when I came down from Mao Mountain, the 'Haotian Golden Palace Supreme Venerable Nature Miraculous Jade Emperor High Spirit Platform True Talisman', and Longhu Mountain's' Taishang Heaven Opening Talisman Imperial Calendar True Talisman Containing True Body Dao True Talisman '. Without becoming a Daoist, there was no hope of becoming a Perfected Being. If Quanzhen wants to become a Daoist, he has to become a Yin Master. "
"Below the Daoist Realm is the Mage Realm. Daoists have a spirit, and their mana can travel three feet away from their body. This is the Mage Realm. To become a Mage, one has to first cultivate the Divine Sense … "
"Those who have just received the talisman and obtained a wisp of mana can be called Daoist Priest or Daoist Disciple." Shi Shigong said shamefully, "I've been cultivating for 19 years, but I'm still on the path of Daoism. My mana is only at the middle level … It's because the Maoshan Taoism has been lost, and the 'Spiritual Movement, Great Sage, Two Realms Magnetic Talisman' that cultivates the Divine Sense has been lost. Even the external medicine of the Golden Pill that cultivates mana is not enough. That's why …"
"If I came down from Mao Mountain when it was at its peak, I had a Guru's Divine Sense to help me condense True Talismans. There were external medicines produced by various mines, and the Hall of Alchemy refined them into External Pills to help me condense mana, becoming a Mage would be a piece of cake! Even if it's the Daoist Realm, I should have achieved it in 19 years! "
"Although you've made it very clear …" Wang Chen sighed and said, "But why do I feel so strange?"
An image of a Daoist Priest inhaling and exhaling in a granary appeared in Wang Chen's mind. He felt that something was wrong all over. He thought to himself, "Except for the weird ancient magic treasures, everything else is very much in line with the habits of cultivators! Taking pills, cultivating the Divine Sense, and all of them are Golden Pill … It's very Cultivation! What else could be wrong? "
"Show me the external medicine of the Golden Pill," Wang Chen said. However, he saw Shi Shigong's troubled expression. He frowned and then heard Shi Shigong say in a low voice, "Young Patriarch, the Golden Pill can only be made by a Mage who is at least proficient in the Dao of Alchemy and has cultivated the Fire Magic … I've been living in seclusion for more than ten years. The few Golden Pills that I left behind have long been used up. Now, I can only rely on some crude external medicine … "
"It's okay. Just show it to me!" Wang Chen said carelessly.
Shi Shigong got the order and quickly took out some yellow stuff from his room at the back. He opened it and showed it to Wang Chen. "This is cinnabar … When Mao Mountain was still here, we used the best cinnabar that the Yan family offered as tribute. Now, I bought these from the pharmacy. This is mica, and this is rosestone. There's also Yu grain, actinolite, cinnabar, red stone resin … "
Good heavens, tin, lead, iron, aluminum, sulfur, copper, mercury, silver, platinum, and gold, almost all of them!
Wang Chen was dumbfounded. He said in horror, "That's all? Ganoderma? Ginseng? Sealwort? … Haven't those Taoists and Daoists died of heavy metal poisoning after eating these? "
Shi Shigong was confused. "Ganoderma? Sealwort? Young Patriarch, you may not know that these are all nonsense. These things can be used to make secret medicine. But if you want to make the Immortal Golden Pill that can help improve your magic power, how can you use these easily decayed plants and herbs? Since ancient times, gold and stone have been used to make pills! "
Shi Shigong sighed. "However, the ancients did not leave behind the key points. These Golden Pill items are highly toxic to people without magic power! Before Taoism became divine, many people died because of it … Later, the Taoists realized that these items can only be consumed by people with magic power to increase their magic power. "
"We Taoists who have just acquired magic power have to be careful when consuming them. This is because the poison will corrode our bodies. Only when we reach the Taoist realm and gain wisdom, can we look inside our bodies and use our magic power to eliminate the poison. That's why Taoists created the recipe to make the Golden Pill according to the characteristics of magic power to minimize the poison. "
As he spoke, Shi Shigong sighed. "When Mao Mountain was still here, we didn't need to take these kinds of external medicine. They were all refined Golden Pill, which has very little poison. Our magic power improved by leaps and bounds … Now that I've taken so many external medicine with strong poison, I'm afraid I'm deeply poisoned!"
Wang Chen sighed. "You really don't play by the rules!" When Shi Shigong used the secret medicine, Wang Chen was amazed that he had opened the prerequisite skills of the cultivation skill tree. But now … the skill tree was so crooked!
In order to let Wang Chen understand 'magic power' more directly, Shi Shigong was ready to show him. Shi Shigong picked up a piece of yellow paper and held it for a long time until his face turned red. Suddenly, a ball of flame rose from the yellow paper. It was not even as big as the flame of a magician's fire paper. Even if he used magic power! Wang Chen was speechless. "It's not as good as those people who play tricks and put white phosphorus on the yellow paper!"
The old Taoist's face turned red. Wang Chen didn't know whether it was because he was holding his breath or because he was ashamed by Wang Chen's words.
