Upon seeing Daoist Priest Changsheng's reaction, everyone immediately understood that Mo Jiazi was speaking the truth.
No one expected that Daoist Priest Changsheng's famous secret to rejuvenating his youth was to dye his white hair black, just like dyeing cloth.
Before this, everyone believed that Daoist Priest Changsheng was an accomplished expert, which was why he had received a gift from the heavens to turn his white hair black. They had never considered the possibility of dyeing arts.
After everyone figured it out, they were immediately enlightened.
In the past, Daoist Priest Changsheng was also a nobody. He had only become famous after his white hair turned black overnight, claiming to have obtained the secrets of the Immortal Dao.
"It's said that before Daoist Priest Changsheng began his cultivation, his family was a dyeing family." An old Daoist revealed the secret. Only then did everyone snap out of their daze. The truth was actually that simple.
"Mo Jiazi. As expected of Mo Jiazi. He actually managed to see through Daoist Priest Changsheng's famous technique at a glance."
"The world is white, only I am black! Daoist Priest Changsheng's attempt to dye his hair black in front of the Mo family is truly a display of his slight skill in front of an expert. "
Everyone sighed inwardly. Daoist Priest Changsheng had never been defeated his entire life. They never expected him to fall at the hands of Mo Jiazi. It was truly an unlucky year.
The representatives of the Hundred Schools of Thought were rendered speechless. They looked at Mo Jiazi with an additional sense of bafflement. Mo Jiazi had indeed cultivated in the Hundred Schools of Thought, but he had even dabbled in an unorthodox acrobatic technique like dyeing arts. It was truly deranged.
Meton gave a wry smile inwardly. Such hair dyeing techniques were already commonplace in the future. Among the white-haired Daoists, the black-haired Daoist Priest Changsheng was like a firefly in the darkness. It was impossible not to notice him.
Daoist Priest Changsheng was no match for Mo Jiazi's strike. In a blink of an eye, only Daoist Divine Firmament was left holding on bitterly. Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Daoist Divine Firmament panicked as he said sternly, "Old Man's Five Lightning Orthodox Dharma is an orthodox Daoist. Mo Jiazi is a member of the Mohist family, so how would he know the mystery of the orthodox Heavenly Lightning?"
Meton took a look at Yuan Shoucheng, who looked like a withered lamp. He sighed and said, "Thunderbolts are the most mysterious and powerful things in the world. In fact, Daoists are not the only ones who have developed Heavenly Thunderbolts. After many years of observation, the ancestors of the Mo Family have concluded that lightning only appears when there are clouds. It is impossible for it to be a thunderbolt in a clear sky. "
Everyone could not help but nod. This was indeed a natural phenomenon of the world. With such an explanation, there was definitely something fishy about Daoist Divine Firmament.
"It's impossible for you to slander me with your flowery words," said Daoist Divine Firmament unyieldingly.
Meton smiled and said, "I heard that when you refined the Thunder Pill, you never did it in front of others. Instead, you did it in a secret room. Everyone only heard the sound of thunder, but no lightning. When I passed by you just now, I could smell a strong and unique scent coming from your body.
You still don't know, right? I once came to the Daoist school to buy saltpeter, so I'm naturally very familiar with its smell. Furthermore, I once read Doctor Sun's Sulfur Concealment Method in the Pill Sutra and saw one of the uses of saltpeter. Only then was I enlightened. "
Everyone's gazes landed on Meton and Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao was also surprised. He had written many books, but he had never heard of any mention of Lightning Dharma.
"Saltpeter, sulfur, realgar, honey …!" With every sentence Meton recited, Daoist Divine Firmament's aura weakened a little. By the time Meton finished reciting the Sulfur Concealment Method in the Pill Sutra, Daoist Divine Firmament immediately felt like his essence, vitality, and spirit had been sucked out of him.
The smell of gunpowder was extremely unique, so how could Meton not smell it?
"This is a Daoist Fire Subduing Method. How can it be a Lightning Dharma?" asked Sun Simiao, perplexed.
Meton explained, "The Fire Subduing Method is too violent. If it's sealed before igniting, the flames will explode in a sealed space like thunder."
The Daoists were immediately enlightened. They often encountered scenes of flames exploding. Now that they thought about it, it was indeed very similar to thunder. They had always thought of it as Heavenly Lightning, but they had never imagined that it was a Fire Subduing Method.
"I never expected that the Dao of Immortality that This Penniless Priest pursued all his life would be wrong. How ironic." Qingcheng Monastery Lord said with a bitter smile.
The External Alchemy Sect's Daoists were also grieving. They were crying and laughing in a sorrowful manner.
At that moment, the Daoist External Alchemy Sect was completely wiped out.
Meton could not help but look at the Daoist External Alchemy Sect with pity. If the Daoist External Alchemy Sect could continue to develop, China's technological standards would have long soared. There would not have been the tragic lessons of the later generations. Unfortunately, these people had taken the wrong path.
The Hundred Schools of Thought fell silent. They had been invited by the Daoists to observe the ceremony, but they never expected to personally witness the Daoists' unification. Yan Shigu from the Historian family was even more diligent in writing, not missing a single detail.
"Cough, cough!"
Yuan Shoucheng coughed out a mouthful of blood. With the help of Yuan Tiangang, he struggled to stand up and said, "The Lineage of Inner Alchemy and the Lineage of External Alchemy are both the inheritances of the Daoists. This Penniless Priest has no selfish motives. I wholeheartedly do this for everyone's future. Please forgive me."
The Daoists fell silent. The poison of the elixir was indeed the biggest hidden danger of the Daoists. Perhaps one day it would push the Daoists to the point of no return. Although it was indeed the best choice for the Daoists to cut off their wrists, after all, the pain of cutting off their wrists was still heart-wrenching. Even the Inner Alchemy Sect did not feel any joy in their hearts. The Dao of Immortality was proven to be wrong. This was still unbearable for the Daoists who wholeheartedly pursued the Dao of Immortality.
"Today, This Penniless Priest apologizes with death. I hope that for the future of the Daoists, you can let go of your prejudices and forgive this Penniless Priest's reckless actions." Yuan Shoucheng said solemnly. A trace of holy light appeared on his face.
The Hundred Schools of Thought looked at Yuan Shoucheng with great respect. This man was truly devoted to the Dao.
For the future of the Daoists, he reluctantly gave up the momentum of the Daoists to reorganize the Lineage of External Alchemy. He also apologized with death to eliminate the resentment of the External Alchemy Sect of Taoism and consolidated the Daoists into a whole. The Daoists seemed to have suffered a loss, but they would definitely be stronger in the future.
"Penniless Priest, you are really admirable!" Sun Simiao said.
The Superior of Qingcheng Taoist Temple said sadly, "Penniless Priest Yuan, are you going to exterminate the Lineage of External Alchemy?"
Since Ge Hong came, the Lineage of External Alchemy had been passed down for 300 years. There were many believers. Naturally, there were many people who were unwilling to give up.
Yuan Shoucheng said, "No. Although the Lineage of External Alchemy can't become immortal, it is still the treasure of the Daoists. The Old Man has found a better way for the Lineage of External Alchemy."
Yuan Shoucheng turned his head to look at Merton and said, "From now on, the Daoists will cooperate with the Hundred Schools of Thought. The Lineage of External Alchemy of Taoism will cooperate with the School of Mohism to explore the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
As for the talk of immortality through alchemy, don't mention it again. In the future, no matter which school of Taoism it is, if the elixirs refined by any school of Taoism want to be passed down, they must be notarized by the School of Legalism. They must pass today's test and be tested by the School of Medicine to be harmless before they can be passed down. "
The Hundred Schools of Thought were in an uproar. They didn't expect that after the School of Mohism, the Daoists would also follow on the path of openness.
Everyone thought for a moment and immediately understood Yuan Shoucheng's intention. In this way, the Daoists seemed to be shackled, but it ensured that the Daoists would continue to prosper.
"We will follow your last wishes." The External Alchemy Sect couldn't help but say sadly.
Yuan Shoucheng let out a sigh of relief. He slowly sat cross-legged and chanted.
"Immeasurable Deity!"
