Bailong was nourished by Jiang Changsheng's spiritual power before he was born, and has already developed a trace of spiritual power in his body. However, his spiritual intelligence is still shallow and he does not know how to practice. He can only rely on breathing to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and his cultivation level grows very slowly.
Since it can increase spiritual power, Jiang Changsheng should be able to do it too.
Jiang Changsheng plucked up the courage to take the remaining elixir. The elixir melted in his mouth and turned into a source of heat that flowed down his throat and merged into his muscles and bones.
Cool!
Jiang Changsheng's face was filled with joy. Bai Long next to him came over and spat out a snake letter, as if he wanted to take more, but was pushed away by Jiang Changsheng.
"Let's give this pill the name of Spirit-increasing Pill."
Jiang Changsheng thought happily, then wrote down the medicinal materials of this elixir and recorded it as a prescription.
This is the first cultivation elixir he has developed. The medicinal materials are not rare, but they are not easy to obtain. They still have to rely on the emperor's efforts.
Jiang Changsheng conveniently refined a bottle of elixirs for recuperating the body and increasing energy, and handed them over to the emperor one by one.
Hua Jianxin also witnessed Bailong's various changes, but she did not dare to disturb him for fear that she would also become a test subject.
The alternation of spring and autumn.
Jiang Yuan would take time to come to Longqi Temple every month. Such frequency also made Longqiguan's status rise. More and more dignitaries came to burn incense. Longqiguan's incense money was also far higher than in previous years. The lives of his disciples were very difficult. It's gotten better.
The disciples all know one thing. Although the Taoist priest does not care about anything, he can talk to the emperor and gain the emperor's favor. This is his greatest ability.
A blink of an eye.
Another year has passed.
Kaiyuan twenty-one years!
Because the emperor no longer pursued elixirs and had more time to deal with government affairs, the economy of the Jing Dynasty continued to rise and was not even brought down by the construction of the canal. In addition to internal management, external conquests also played a big role.
Dajing attacked the ancient Khan, continuously annexed its territory, and harvested various resources, which increased the cohesion of the Dajing Dynasty.
There have been more than ten dynasties in this continent. In the vast history, the emperor is always the most dazzling existence. As the founding emperor of the dynasty, Jiang Yuan's historical status is no longer low. Scholars originally thought that he would get better after being addicted to immortality. I was in a daze, but I suddenly woke up and various poems praising Emperor Kaiyuan became popular.
The spring rain is continuous.
Qing Ku came to visit Jiang Changsheng and told him the reason for his visit. He was going to lead a group of disciples down the mountain for training, collect orphans and train new disciples for Longqi Temple. This was already an old tradition of Longqi Temple.
"Be careful. There are two talisman papers here. When you encounter an invincible enemy, inject your true energy into them. Point the talisman papers at the enemy. Remember, do not use them lightly."
Jiang Changsheng took out two yellow talismans from his sleeves. The talisman papers were sent by Chen Li. He used the talisman technique to engrave his spiritual power into them. To show that he was special, he also scribbled on the talisman papers. .
Qing Ku took the two talisman papers with a confused look on his face and said to himself: "Why is Senior Brother getting so distracted?"
Although he thought so, he still put it away carefully. Jiang Changsheng was extremely mysterious in his eyes, and he also raised a white python that understood human nature. Maybe this talisman is really useful.
After Qing Ku left, Jiang Changsheng continued to practice.
During this year, the white dragon has been accustomed to the disciples. It can roam freely in Longqi Mountain and never hurts anyone. The most important thing is that it is a vegetarian, which makes the disciples like it. Some pilgrims even saw it and learned that it was a vegetarian. The Taoist priest who raised him was no longer afraid. Under the deliberate exaggeration of his disciples, the name of Bailong gradually spread in the capital.
There is a snake named Bailong in Longqi Temple, which understands human nature.
Hua Jianxin has followed Jiang Changsheng for so long, and has completely mastered the Jade Pure Meridian Needle. Jiang Changsheng also taught her the Nine-Xun Tianlong Step. Her strength has improved by leaps and bounds. According to her words, she feels that she has hope of contacting the Heaven-Bearing Art. territory.
From this point of view, reaching the realm of Heaven does not require extreme internal strength.
The tenth day after Qing Ku left.
Jiang Changsheng finally had a breakthrough opportunity.
Taking the Spirit Boosting Pill every month resulted in an early breakthrough!
He was meditating and doing exercises in the house, his spiritual power was stirring, his Taoist robe was hunting, and his long hair was flowing accordingly. The white dragon lying on the window sill basking in the sun turned his head, his snake eyes glowing with a faint look.
"Something's wrong..."
Jiang Changsheng suddenly frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
This breakthrough went smoothly, and there was no glitch in my practice. How could I be uneasy?
He exercised nervously and became more and more careful, not daring to be careless.
At the same time, above Longqi Temple, the white clouds in the blue sky gradually darkened, and then gathered towards Longqi Mountain. The disciples of Longqi Temple thought it was going to rain, so they invited the pilgrims to the hospital to take shelter from the rain.
The people in the capital also noticed the strange phenomenon of Longqi Mountain. The huge capital city was shrouded in clouds. It was still noon. Such a phenomenon was quite spectacular, but the people just looked at it and didn't think much about it.
However.
Boom——
A bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky and struck the eaves of Jiang Changsheng's house, sending rubble flying everywhere.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and felt something abnormal in the outside world, and an idea came to his mind.
Could it be...
Overcoming the tribulation?
Jiang Changsheng stood up immediately and ducked to the eaves. A strong wind was raging, and the dark clouds in the sky had turned into thunderclouds. The sea of clouds was churning, forming a huge and terrifying whirlpool. Thunder and lightning were faintly mingling, and the great power of heaven was radiating down.
When he came to the eaves, his uneasiness suddenly disappeared.
At this moment, he understood that the fifth level of Taoist natural skills must overcome the tribulation, and he could not escape. Once he escaped, the uneasiness in his heart would turn into inner demons and interfere with his cultivation from now on.
This calamity must be overcome!
Jiang Changsheng's eyes became determined. He meditated directly on the eaves. His legs were in the air, and his butt was half a meter away from the eaves. His spiritual power was wrapped around him, visible to the naked eye, and his clothes were hunting in the wind.
Hua Jianxin was startled by the thunder, pushed out the door, came to the yard, looked up and saw Jiang Changsheng in mid-air.
She widened her beautiful eyes and looked like she had seen a ghost.
He...is hanging in the air?
Isn't this the Demon Lord's trick?
boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck, this time aimed directly at Jiang Changsheng, but was blocked by his spiritual power and then dissipated. This scene shocked Hua Jian's heart.
Before she could react, thunder and lightning struck down one after another, all aimed at Jiang Changsheng without any bias. Jiang Changsheng used his spiritual power to protect his body, forming a protective shield to resist the thunder and lightning attack. The thunder became stronger and stronger, and quickly formed an indiscriminate bombardment. With such power, even in the daytime, lightning can be seen.
Thunder and lightning on the top of Longqi Mountain can be seen from every corner of the capital, including the imperial palace. The thunder and lightning all strike in the same direction, forming a cone shape. Even from a distance, it is particularly spectacular.
"what is that?"
"What a terrible thunder and lightning. Could it be that something appeared on Longqi Temple?"
"It is said that the new Taoist priest of Longqi Temple is young and smart, and he also raises a white python that understands human nature. Could it be that he is the reincarnation of an immortal?"
"I don't know. In this posture, Long Qi looks like a dead person, right?"
"It's strange, it's strange. I have lived for seventy years and have never seen such a celestial phenomenon in two dynasties."
The people in the capital were talking a lot, and even the dignitaries walked out of their rooms to look at the vision.
Inside the palace.
Jiang Yuan stood in front of the Jinluan Palace, his hands clasped behind his waist, looking at the thunder on Long Qiguan Mountain. His eyes were full of excitement. When Eunuch Li came, the excitement in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by Ru Gujing. It's so deep that people can't see through it.
Eunuch Li came to him and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that everyone in the capital will see such a strange phenomenon. How should we deal with it?"
Jiang Yuan said casually: "Are celestial phenomena something humans can handle?"
"No, I am worried that Longqi Temple will be damaged. This is a Taoist temple appointed by His Majesty..."
"Let's talk about the damage."
Jiang Yuan answered casually, keeping his gaze on Long Qiguan.
Eunuch Li didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around to look at Longqishan together.
The princes, concubines, and princesses in the palace also went out to observe this rare thundercloud phenomenon.
…
This natural disaster was more difficult than Jiang Changsheng imagined. Half an hour later, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, but the thunder did not weaken and even intensified.
He closed his eyes and looked ugly. At this point, he had no choice but to hold on. If he was not careful, he might be struck to pieces by lightning.
Hua Jianxin already believed that Jiang Changsheng was not relying on blindness, but that he was really going through the thunder tribulation, just like the story in the myth.
She was now staring at him with admiration and worry, fearing that something might happen to him.
In the distance, there were still many disciples watching, and the pilgrims staying at Longqi Temple were talking in the background. At first, they were very scared, fearing that they would be struck, but later they found that the lightning only struck one place, so they were all cautious. I got closer and saw this shocking scene.
Flying through the thunder tribulation!
Jiang Changsheng has become deified in their hearts.
Meng Qiu Shuang was also very worried about Jiang Changsheng and felt very complicated at the same time.
Is this junior brother really the reincarnation of an immortal?
Jiang Changsheng didn't know what they were thinking, and he had no time to think about it, so he concentrated on overcoming the disaster.
Just when he was worried, the thunder tribulation finally began to weaken, and it went away just as quickly as it came.
In less than three minutes, the thunderstorm completely subsided, and the thunderclouds dissipated. Jiang Changsheng was relieved. When the sun shone on him, spiritual power began to erupt in his body. The spiritual energy from heaven and earth penetrated into his body crazily, resonating with his spiritual power. , generating more spiritual power. From the perspective of others, he was surrounded by a whirlwind, and even the leaves were rolled up.
"Immortals... humans!"
A middle-aged man said with a trembling voice. He knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Changsheng. His reaction also caused other pilgrims to kneel down. Those rational pilgrims looked at each other. It was obvious that these people were crazy. An idea came into their minds. .
What if you are really an immortal and don't kneel down when you see him? Will you offend the immortal?
In this way, all the pilgrims knelt down, worshiped Jiang Changsheng, and prayed for themselves at the same time.
The disciples also knelt down one after another and looked at Jiang Changsheng enthusiastically. Wan Li and Mingyue, who often practiced with Jiang Changsheng, were so excited that they had received the immortal's mercy.
Meng Qiu Shuang did not kneel down, but just looked at Jiang Changsheng blankly, wondering what she was thinking.
Jiang Changsheng completely stepped into the fifth level of Taoist natural skills. His spiritual power surged, his senses transformed, and his consciousness expanded even more. Two interlaced golden lines gradually appeared between his eyebrows, like a simplified version of the Tai Chi Pisces Diagram. Faintly visible.
