"The results of transcendence and the steps of transcendence..."
It seems that the ultimate pursuit of the ascetics is not that simple. Even if you reach the true pure Yang, there is still a long road that may be more difficult and dangerous.
However, as True Monarch Yushou said, it is of no use to Xu Zhuang to understand these things urgently. On the contrary, it seems to be too ambitious. You must know that the obstacles to knowledge and vision are never empty words.
For now, all he needs to do is to focus on the road in front of him and take steps step by step, hoping to survive the three disasters. At least until he reaches the level of Yangzhen, he will be qualified to look forward to the scenery pursued by Chunyang, who is the same as him in the world.
When Xu Zhuang came out of the Dongzhen Hall, the sun had already set on the west mountain, and the night sky was filled with starlight. Xu Zhuang suddenly realized that he had realized the ambition of traveling in and out of the stars and the void when he was young.
In this by no means long period of time, he had achieved many achievements that were beyond the reach of monks. However, he did not feel satisfied, and then a higher and further pursuit emerged.
"There is no end to the Tao. It is indeed true." Xu Zhuang said to himself, and his figure suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and dispersed. In the blink of an eye, he had reached Chongyun Peak.
When he glanced at Tianchi, he saw that Liyun was sleeping soundly at the bottom of the pool. Although he released his external consciousness to sense the changes on the peak, how could he detect Xu Zhuang's aura?
Xu Zhuang shook his head and did not wake up this lazy thing. Just as he was about to enter Defu, he looked up and saw a meteor cutting through the night, seemingly taking a long way and heading straight for here.
"Uncle Ming Jing?" Before the meteor arrived, Xu Zhuang's heart moved and he raised his hands to bow in advance. As soon as the light stopped, Master Ming Jing appeared in white clothes like snow.
As soon as Master Ming Jing showed up, he received a courtesy from Xu Zhuang. However, he was a casual person and did not pay too much courtesy. Instead, he looked him up and down, and then he smiled and said: "Good boy, I was just that day." I told Daochen that it would take less than three to five hundred years for you to be able to cultivate the soul, but I didn't expect that I hit the nail on the head."
Xu Zhuang smiled and said, "It turns out it's Master Cheng's uncle Ji Yan."
Master Ming Jing couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words. After a moment, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and something flew out and fell into Xu Zhuang's hand. He said with a smile: "It's a pity that I have a hard life. I was originally sent to Tianwai Dojo to handle affairs. When I rushed back to Xuanhuang, I was summoned by Dao Chen to search for the magic weapon of Xianling Gate, but I still came up short, and I missed your ceremony."
"This thing can be considered as a supplementary gift for you." At this point, Master Mingjing's face became slightly more solemn, and he clasped his hands and said: "Congratulations to Tao Miaozi for achieving Yuanshen, and you will live forever!"
"The magic weapon of Manifestation Gate?" Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully, and felt the things in his hands again, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "Is this the Huntian Spiritual Soil?"
This thing is not simple. It is a treasure that practitioners of earthly Taoism long for. Needless to say, the most important thing is that this muddy sky spiritual soil is the main refining substance of the 'Fixing Wind Pill'.
Could it be that Master Ming Jing's 'labor' was for this thing? This would make sense, otherwise Master Ming Jing would have to handle matters in the outer ashram.
With Xu Zhuang's current state, he can finally perceive that Master Mingjing turns out to be the true form, but because he doesn't get a closer look, he really doesn't know whether it is a spiritual treasure or a true form.
But no matter what, judging from his aura, I'm afraid he has survived a disaster. Even among the real Yuanshen, he is a real master.
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and did not ask any more questions about the magic weapon of Manifestation Sect. He put away the Heavenly Spirit Soil and saluted, "Thank you Master Mingjing for congratulations."
Master Ming Jing nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I have to go back to meet Dao Chen. If I have free time another day, I will come to you to discuss Tao." Without waiting for a response, he turned into a meteor again and escaped into the sky. In an instant, he disappeared in the direction of the Headmaster Yun Palace.
Seeing this, Xu Zhuang smiled, put away the things in his hands, and returned to the cave.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Xue Yuren respectfully stepped forward to greet her. Then she bowed and said, "I welcome you back to your home, and I wish you a long life."
Xue Yuren has been in the Taisu sect for a long time, but she doesn't know the greatness of the real Yuanshen. In her mind, this is no different from becoming an immortal. When she first heard that Xu Zhuang had cultivated the Yuanshen, she still felt a sense of illusion.
Although she was on the board of directors of Xuzhuang Mansion, she was not qualified to go to the Patriarch's Hall to watch the ceremony, so she had been waiting in the lobby all day. She did not feel tired, but seemed a bit reserved.
Xu Zhuang didn't take it too seriously. He wouldn't pretend to be majestic just because his cultivation was so different from before, but he didn't need to specifically comfort her to relax and just let everything take its course.
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, and after sitting down, he pointed at many objects beside him and asked, "This is it?"
Xue Yuren responded: "Back to the master, these are the gifts sent by Taoist Zhike today from various families. The servants dare not make the decision, so they can only leave it to the master."
Xu Zhuang was not surprised, and lightly praised: "You did a good job."
Just now he briefly scanned the gift list, and the names on it were either from the rich family or the ancestors of various families. Starting tomorrow, I'm afraid the gifts and congratulations from all parties will really pour in.
Xu Zhuang pondered for a while and then ordered: "Tomorrow you will follow my decree and go to the door to recruit Taoist boys to help. Be sure to count and classify the gifts from all parties and list them in a book."
Xue Yuren responded respectfully, and then asked: "Masters Yuan and Qin have been here twice, waiting to see the master."
For some reason, Xu Zhuang first thought of Li Changfeng at this time. He had heard yesterday that four years ago, there was a storm in the sect, dragons and tigers met, and everyone in the sect knew that a high-grade golden elixir was born. Unfortunately, for some reason, the middle way collapsed...
Presumably by now, Changfeng has been transferred to Xisu by You Jin'er and reincarnated.
Xu Zhuang did not answer, but asked first: "Have you done what I told you before I left?"
Xue Yuren thought about it carefully and then said: "Yes, I have given the spiritual object left by the master to Miss You."
"That's good." Xu Zhuang nodded slowly. In fact, as You Jin'er is a disciple of True Lord Taixuan, he will not lack any resources, but he can only express his feelings like this.
For a moment, he felt a little unmotivated. He waved his hand and said, "If Hao'er and Dengxiao come again tomorrow, I will bring them to see me."
Xue Yuren responded respectfully, and since there was no other important matter to report, he took a step back and stood aside quietly.
Xu Zhuang thought for a moment, then with a casual move, something flew up from the objects beside him and landed in his palm.
He has already taken a brief look at the gifts sent to various families today. Although he has long been famous, his cultivation time is very short after all, and he has little friendship with the ancestors of each family. They sent congratulatory letters and prepared one or two copies. The small gift is to release his goodwill, but it is not too much to rush to fawn over.
Therefore, among these gifts, only a few could actually arouse his interest, but what was in his hands now was a letter.
Yes, a letter from Shangxuanzong arrived along with a congratulatory letter written by the master of Shangxuanzong, but he took it out alone and got it into his hands.
Feeling the familiar scent on the letter, Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, opened it and glanced at it, unexpectedly revealing a bit of surprise.
This letter was written by Zhong Shenxiu, an old friend of Xu Zhuang. Of course, there is no need to say more words of congratulations in the letter. However, he said that he had already prepared a generous gift, but he wanted to sell it off and send it to him when he came to visit. and said that an unexpected old friend would also come with him.
Before Xu Zhuang left Xuanhuang, he heard about Zhong Shenxiu's cultivation of Yuanshen. However, the news came from Lingbao Sect, but Zhong Shenxiu seemed to have not officially held the ceremony.
Xu Zhuang thought that this news was probably true, and he didn't know how long he had been away from Xuanhuang, so he simply prepared a congratulatory gift to send...
A few years later, Shangxuanzong officially held a ceremony, and Zhong Shenxiu was promoted to the title of Patriarch. According to the rules of Shangxuanzong's Patriarch, he added the title of "Xuan" and was called Xuan Mizhenren.
It was normal for Zhong Shenxiu to prepare gifts for Xu Zhuang. Although the visit was a bit unexpected, it was nothing. Only this 'old friend' was beyond Xu Zhuang's expectations.
Xu Zhuang and Zhong Shenxiu have always seemed to be rivals and Taoist friends, and they have always been compared to each other. It seems that they have a close friendship without knowing it, but in fact they don't really get along much, let alone Tell me if you have any common friends.
Could it be that he is a fellow Taoist whom Xiantian Spiritual Root Fighting Group met? Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully, put away the letter, and then summoned another item to check.
This thing was a gift from Dan Yangsheng, the founder of the Danxia Sect. As early as when Xuzhuang was Yuan Ying, this Dan Yangsheng had already had a good relationship with him. It was only later that Xu Zhuang found out who this Dan Yangsheng was. , no wonder the elixir he refined can make a monster with an unstable foundation like Liyun easily reach the third level of perfection.
Now what Dan Yangsheng has sent is also a pill of treasure, which is contained in a seamless jade box. There is no need to take it out. You only need to gently connect the Qi machine to draw the pill energy from it for use. It turns out that this 'returning the Yuan' The Yizhen Pill is actually a supreme treasure pill that can help the real person Yuanshen practice and restore Yuan Qi.
What's even more mysterious is that this elixir can be like the real person of Yuanshen, breathing in the essence and refining the essence to restore the elixir energy. If you keep fishing in the river, it will not be exhausted easily.
Such a treasure is extremely precious even to Xu Zhuang, and it is probably considered a valuable treasure to many real Yuanshen. It is not an exaggeration to call it an elixir. The art of refining such an elixir is truly amazing.
"Although it is a congratulatory gift, it is so valuable. It is indeed a token of love." Xu Zhuang turned the treasure box in his hand and couldn't help but praise it before putting it away.
Dan Yangsheng, a Huan Yuan Yizhen Dan, is the most important gift among each family's gifts, and the other items are really incomparable to it.
However, this does not mean that other treasures have no value. For example, the gift "Yao Yuquan" sent by the wealthy Yun family in the door is very interesting. If this thing is placed in the cave, it will be restored within a few years. It can raise many exotic flowers and plants, which may also be of some benefit to the spiritual root seed in Xu Zhuang's hand.
Apart from that, the other gifts have their own merits, and the most different one... actually makes Xu Zhuang, the recipient of the gift, a little unhappy.
This object is a square mirror gifted by Tianyuan Sect. If you look into this mirror, you can see a country like a peach garden, which actually gave birth to many strangers.
However, from the perspective of a person with advanced Taoism, there is a different scene. The mirror is actually empty, with only thousands of strangers dreaming for a long time, as if intoxicated.
It turns out that this is the Tianyuan sect's method of transporting the realm of mortals. They put the entire realm of mortals into a mirror, and then use illusions to make them fall into a dream that seems like normal life. When they are 'unloaded', they can still rely on the energy in the mirror. Restore this mortal kingdom, and finally wake up these mortals, even if they can't find any clues...
As for why this gift is given, it is because some Taoist sects have the habit of raising mortals in caves and small realms. This habit is especially common among demonic sects, and Xuanmen are not rare either.
Xuanmen is just that, maybe to attract more people, or maybe it can be used as a source of disciples. Occasionally, some cultivation seeds can be born, and at the worst, it can train many Taoist boys to deal with chores. But if they are mortals raised by the Demon Sect Cave, then I don’t even know what the outcome will be.
So it may sound cruel, but in fact, in the universe, a large number of mortals are also a kind of 'trade', and the methods of the Tianyuan Sect are actually quite mild.
But no matter what, Xuzhuang Cave Heaven has not yet been opened, and it may not be able to support people. Even if they really have this intention, they will not do it in this way. This gift from Tianyuan Sect is not cheap, but it does not suit Xu Zhuang's intentions. .
Xu Zhuang shook his head and ordered Xue Yuren to hand over the mirror to the sect for disposal when he went out.
Perhaps because of living in Tianyuan for a long time and having too much turbidity, the Tianyuan sect was originally one of the three sects and six sects with turbid Taoism and evil behavior. The friendship with other sects was also very shallow. They had been at war with the White Bone Sect for so long. Unexpectedly, he did not get the support of fellow Taoists. This shows that...
…
After looking at the gifts from each family, Xu Zhuang put away a few, and ordered Xue Yuren to sort the rest into the warehouse. Then he started to think about the business: Where is this cave going?
Generally speaking, whether it is formed naturally or opened by a powerful person, in fact, the cave is not fixed in one place, but changes constantly with the movement of heaven and earth. However, if it is the foundation of a sect or the residence of a monk, it cannot Listen like this and let yourself know.
Therefore, except for some mysterious caves and fairy mansions that are intentionally floating in the void, most caves with owners are fixed.
Xu Zhuang has no intention of becoming a mysterious real person free from the void, and he has no intention of opening a new place to preach. Therefore, no matter what angle he starts from, it is only right to open the cave in Taisu Zongzong.
At that time, the cave will be opened. If you are in the door, there will be a cave to help you practice. If you are traveling, the Duxu Palace will be there, no matter where you go, it will be enough to stay.
In this case, Xu Zhuang does not need to think too much. The cave spirit is captured from the void. Unless a formation is specially set up to absorb the spirit, it does not matter what the spiritual veins of the place are. Xu Zhuang has practiced for several times at Chongyun Peak. After a hundred years, there is no need to move the cave to another place.
Having made up his mind, Xu Zhuang no longer hesitated and thought: "Tomorrow, I will ask the True Lord to bring out the Dharma Ribbon and open a cave on Chongyun Peak."
