In front of the ancient temple, a half-withered Bodhi tree stood beside it. Mengqi sat under it, "listening" to the Buddha's teachings and comprehending with his heart.
After a long time, he slowly rose and solemnly bowed. He said, "Bodhisattva, I've finished comprehending. If it's not too much trouble, please open the door near Maoling in River East."
The Sambhogakaya Pure Land of Lanke Temple was equivalent to some kind of law between heaven and earth. It was everywhere, so as long as there was no powerful formation blocking it, it could open the door wherever it wanted.
Light King Bodhisattva Yue Mani did not speak. The water at the other end of the path swayed, revealing the scenery of River East with a small bridge and flowing water.
Meng Qi thanked him again respectfully and escaped from Lanke Temple. He had already returned to Maoling from the vicinity of the Tide-watching Rock of the East Sea. No matter who was plotting against him, there was absolutely no way they could track him down!
…
After changing his appearance and breath several times, the cautious Mengqi put on the Heavenly Primogenitor's mask and entered the Immortals. "Immortal Taiyi" was already waiting there.
Yan Wuwo was not a talkative person and did not exchange pleasantries. He watched as Mengqi took out his gains from the auction and selected some exotic minerals and produce and Precious Weapons according to the agreement.
The Zombie Fist was not a large sect with a deep foundation. It only started three generations ago and Yan Wuwo had established a solid foundation in Jianghu and polished its signboard. Therefore, although Yan Wuwo did not need these things and did not lack a few thousand Karma points, the protective and competitive nature of him had to prepare some for his disciples. He could not lose to the big sects and aristocratic families!
When Yan Wuwo was choosing, Mengqi roughly calculated the gains. The 13 exotic minerals and produce that he had exchanged for the first "Immortality Elixir of East Pole" from the Ancestor of the Zhang family were all what he needed for his current cultivation. In addition to the commissions from the Plenitude Sect and Darkness Palace that were listed in the Immortals, as well as this batch of life-prolonging elixirs, he had almost enough resources for the cultivation of the Second Heaven of Eight Nine Mysteries.
At the thought of this, Meng Qi could not help but praise himself. He did not use the profits from the elixirs of the Plenitude Sect to pay Yan Wuwo. Instead, he took on a portion of the profits himself so that the profits would not look too good. It would be on par with the normal sales, which would cause problems in future cooperation. He could be called an "honest and reliable young man", much better than Old Devil Yunhe!
"I'm just asking you to bear the other costs …" Meng Qi silently added. In this way, he would have to subsidize three or four exotic minerals and produce from the second Immortality Elixir to barely meet the needs of his cultivation. The rest would be the profits that he could use at his disposal!
"About ten exotic minerals and produce, a top-grade Precious Weapon, the Soul-inducing Poison Needle, and a main material for a Heavenly Weapon, the Oceanic Dominion Pearl …" Meng Qi was overjoyed. Even if he wanted to keep the Oceanic Dominion Pearl for his own use or to refine it into a Precious Weapon, the rest would still be worth 20,000 Karma points as long as they were not used by the Dominator.
"With this amount of Karma points, I can use and throw away my secret treasures …" Meng Qi thought heroically. Soon, he came back to his senses and took a light breath. He thought to himself,
"After the sale, I can spend 8,000 Karma points to decipher Acheron's Hand Bone!"
"The rest is to prepare for the apotheosis …"
With the 13 exotic minerals and produce from the Ancestor of the Zhang family, Mengqi was not in a hurry to exchange for them. Therefore, he did not go through the Dominator and put the "Poison Soul Needle" up for sale in the Immortal-tracking Alley.
He left the Immortals and found a small town. He dressed up as a young man in a green robe and walked slowly along the street. He bought a pot of yellow wine and a roasted chicken. Then, he rented a yard and began to relax and cultivate.
…
It was snowing in December, and the damp coldness penetrated deep into the bones. The River East and the North each had different degrees of coldness.
In the quiet room of the small yard, Mengqi sat cross-legged in a deathly still state.
All of a sudden, the Aperture acupoints all over his body opened, and phantoms flew out one after another. There was a blazing Grand Sun, a brilliant galaxy, a Chaotic Hole that absorbed all light, a boundless land, and a Gods of different Dharma and Logos and phenomena. They were either stepping on black snakes or holding up the sky with their hands.
For a moment, the whole quiet room was like a temple of all gods. It was like a miniature of the countless changes between heaven and earth. It was dazzling and mysterious.
Meng Qi was sitting cross-legged in the center of the shadows, but his Nine Innate Apertures and Five Viscera and Six Bowels had become hazy, as if the Heavens high above were connected to the dream-like shadows.
They returned to one place, which was the Hidden Latch between Mengqi's eyebrows, which led directly to the Niwan Palace.
It was dim and dark, as if there was a figure sitting cross-legged. It was indescribable, like the "Primeval"!
The elephant was invisible!
This was where Mengqi's Vital Spirit was. It was his real Dharma Form, the Immortal Primeval Form!
Whether it was the internal organs, Heavens, or the surrounding shadows, they were all changes contained in the Dharma Form. They were all extensions of Dharma and Logos derived from the Dharma Form, not the Dharma Form itself!
Mengqi suddenly opened his eyes. It was a pair of chaotic eyes that was difficult to see through. They were full of vicissitudes, eternity, vastness, and mystery!
All the shadows suddenly retracted. The void of the quiet room swayed inexplicably as if it was about to split from the middle. If not for the formation that had been set up in advance to block it, this strange phenomenon would probably have enveloped the whole city.
After closing and opening his eyes again, Mengqi's eyes had returned to normal. His breath became even more ordinary, like the Dharma and Logos of Heaven and Earth that everyone could see everywhere.
"I've finally entered the Third-fold Heaven of the Exterior and finished condensing all the Aperture acupoints in my body …" Mengqi exhaled softly. He had finally passed the first hurdle of Eight Nine Mysteries.
For practitioners of Eight Nine Mysteries who took the path of accommodating changes, each Aperture acupoint had to be condensed differently during the First and Second Heaven of the Exterior, corresponding to different forms of heaven and earth or Dharma and Logos. Therefore, it was the most time-consuming and the first hurdle of the Exterior's cultivation. Without the help of exotic minerals and earthly treasures, no one could finish condensing their Aperture acupoints before their lifespan was exhausted. Even in ancient times, it would take at least 15 years.
Using exotic minerals and earthly treasures to assist in condensing his Aperture acupoints would consume financial resources. Mengqi roughly calculated that he had used up 34,000 to 5,000 Karma points for the cultivation of the Second-fold Heaven alone. That was equivalent to a normal Exterior who had not entered Samsara. It would not take more than 10 years to collect them.
This was simply too much to sigh about!
"Fortunately, I received my salary from the Six Fan School and exchanged it for two usable exotic minerals and earthly treasures. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be left with less than 20,000 Karma points." Mengqi stood up and stretched his muscles, changing the broadcast gymnastics into body-strengthening exercises.
With his current potential and strength, the Six Fan School was eager for him to continue being a Silver-badge Arrester. As for the task, it all depended on whether he wanted to do it or not. In any case, the salary was still paid. When Mengqi became a grandmaster or a Great Grandmaster in the future, there would always be some favors. Some things would be easier to discuss and entrust.
After more than half a year, the prices of the items in the Immortal-tracking Alley were fair and reasonable, much better than those of the profiteers in the Six Realms. Finally, the transaction was completed a few days ago. For this reason, Mengqi specially made a trip to the Plenitude Sect and handed the harvest to Immortal Yunhe and the representative of Darkness Palace. As long as Jiang Zhiwei completed the transaction, it would be a success.
Up to this point, he was left with 20,700 Karma points. He could be considered a rich man below the grandmaster level, not to mention the Oceanic Dominion Pearl, Acheron's Hand Bone, and other materials.
It could be seen that Immortal Yunhe and the representative of Darkness Palace were very satisfied. They expressed that they hoped to continue similar transactions after digesting the harvest this time.
As for a piece of 10,000-year-old Qinghua Spiritual Wood, Mengqi had offered a reward for it in the Immortal-tracking Alley for more than half a year without any response. It was really not worth it to exchange it from the Six Realms. Now it was up to Jiang Zhiwei to find it.
After the activity, Mengqi bent his fingers and flicked them lightly. Several gusts of wind hit different places and broke a few objects. The formation was instantly dispelled and the clear blue sky appeared again, sprinkling bright sunlight.
He had not accumulated much in the formation, but he was already at the Exterior Realm. Moreover, he was able to accommodate so many changes and condensed so many different types of Aperture acupoints. He had a vague sense of the rules of heaven and earth and knew what effect would be produced when placed in certain places. He had learned to set up a simple formation without a teacher.
"It's a pity that I've been cultivating in seclusion and didn't have time to do good deeds. I haven't condensed enough Merit Points, so I can't reach the primary level of Tri-gem Wish Fist …" Mengqi sighed. He could not have his cake and eat it too.
As for the Yin-Yang Seal and the Living Flesh and Blood, he could be considered to have entered the rudiments. He had barely touched the surface of "I, the Unique and Righteous".
He escaped from the small town and went straight to the entrance of the Immortals. After stepping into the Third-fold Heaven, he finally had time to see what secrets Acheron's Hand Bone was hiding!
As soon as he entered the Azure Heaven, Mengqi met Progenitor Doumu who was flying in from another direction. He smiled and greeted her, saying that it was a coincidence.
Progenitor Doumu said emotionlessly, "I was just about to inform you that the long-delayed official member gathering will be held in seven days. If you have time, come to the Azure Palace to participate."
"Alright!" Mengqi's eyes brightened and he immediately agreed.
After knowing the true identity of the few higher-ups, he was not interested in the rest of the members. However, there was one exception, and that was Lord of Purity and Magic who "stole" his title!
What kind of person is he?
Progenitor Doumu looked at Mengqi and keenly sensed the change in his breath that he did not conceal. "You've condensed all the Aperture acupoints in your body and stepped into the Third-fold Heaven?"
"Yes, just now." Mengqi was secretly showing off. Even Progenitor Doumu was shocked?
Progenitor Doumu's tone was slightly heavy. "'Qingyuan' spent a total of eight and a half years to collect the materials and break through the first and second levels of Heaven. Because of this, his cultivation progress was slow and he almost died in the Samsara task."
But Mengqi only spent one and a half years.
"It was a coincidence. It was a coincidence." Mengqi said "modestly". The huge profits of the Immortality Elixir of East Pole could not be repeated, and the Plenitude Gate was an even more unexpected gain.
After a few words, Mengqi flew to the Immortal-tracking Alley and landed in front of the central jade pillar. He took out Acheron's Hand Bone.
