The silvery white light floats gently.
Lin Yuzhi held the Taiyin Immortal Order and walked at the front, stepping out of the silvery light and looking around curiously.
This place seems to be a valley, with a flat ground and covered with gray stone slabs. It is bustling with people and is actually very lively, making people feel as if they are in a market.
Looking around, there are people coming and going everywhere, and there are people setting up stalls to sell goods everywhere, but these people set up stalls in their own way.
Several people threw up the hooked chains and tilted the flying ship slightly to the side, using it as a display counter to sell goods together.
There is a strong man with strange facial features and a black nose like a dog. He has transformed a mace-like magic weapon into a hundred-foot-sized weapon. On each spike on the head of the club, there are some fragmentary skulls and bones of alien animals hanging on it. , fur, shouting for sale.
With a tiger crouching next to him, Toutuo let his body hold the iron bowl, and his soul left his body, and he jumped into the iron bowl with the guests to view the goods.
"Hey, it's actually a scene like this. I thought that when I came here, I was readying my army to fight against the devil?"
Lin Yuzhi muttered something under her breath, and Zhao Dongqing and Pang Tiezhu also walked out from her side.
Pang Tiezhu looked around happily: "It's so lively. Oh, the guy with the mace standing upright to sell things must be from Panwang Shengu, a great master who has cultivated Panhu's bloodline... and that guy over there... …”
He spoke with great force, and although he lowered his voice, he still attracted the attention of many people.
The main reason is that his tone is so surprising, like a country man from a remote country returning to the city. But he has no knowledge, but he can guess the origins of many people. In just a few words, it makes people feel happy. Quite comfortable - mainly because I can boast.
The strong man who was selling things with the mace standing upright happened to have no business at the moment. After looking at them for a few times, he simply collected the goods. The mace returned to the size of nine feet, put it on his shoulder and walked over.
"Did you three just get the Taiyin Token?"
Although the tip of his nose is black, like a dog's nose, he has a yellowish beard and thick messy hair, and he looks quite formidable. "Originally, if you wander around for a while, a disciple of Taiyin will come to take you to understand the situation, but I have nothing to do anyway, so I’ll show you around first.”
Pang Tiezhu quickly clasped his fists and said, "I wonder what your eldest brother's surname is?"
"My name is Li Yaoyu. Alas, the name is troublesome. Just call me Li Shijiu."
Li Shijiu was cheerful and got acquainted with Pang Tiezhu and the others in just a few words. He could call him brother or brother easily.
Although Lin Yuzhi was young, they were equally friendly in conversation. Zhao Dongqing saw this and had no objection.
The three of them were called by Guan Luoyang before, and after a brief explanation, they were sent over by Taiyin Immortal. They were not familiar with the place and had no fixed tasks, so they simply followed this senior Lida Landa.
But before they could really set off, a woman in plain Taoist attire floated over.
She asked a few questions and learned that it was Li Shijiu who was willing to take the three newcomers around. He seemed to be reassured about Old Li's character, so she smiled and thanked him, and silently floated away.
Lin Yuzhi looked at the woman in plain clothes walking away, rubbed her eyes, and said with a strange expression: "Dong Qing, was my eyesight just now?"
Zhao Dongqing shook his head: "No, I saw it too."
Li Jiu asked curiously: "What did you see?"
Lin Yuzhi whispered: "When I blinked just now, I seemed to see that sister looking... very strange."
More than just weird?
The woman in plain clothes clearly smiled calmly and had an elegant temperament.
When Lin Yuzhi blinked, she saw her thin appearance in civilian clothes, her neck was broken, and her face was blue and blue as she died.
Li Jiu looked at Lin Yuzhi in surprise: "You girl is quite capable, you can actually tell the ghost cultivator's appearance."
After they walked out of the valley, Li Shijiu took them to a remote mountain top and looked at the city not far away.
"Since you can see it, let me start with this."
Li Shijiu cleared his throat, pointed to the city in the distance and said, "I just heard Lao Pang say that you know that this is the outer world, but you still don't know what is going on in the place where we are."
"Let me tell you, this is the Taiyin Kingdom, a small world opened up by the Taiyin Immortal, hidden in the acquired chaotic energy of the mortal world outside."
"The first thing you have to adapt to when moving here is to get used to the situation where ghosts are everywhere."
"It is said that in the past, the entire outer world and the several continents had a total population of tens of millions. However, after the arrival of Demon Lord Changsi, almost all people died, and their bodies gradually transformed into the Sanghuang dragon species."
"The Taiyin Immortal came later, so he only had time to absorb some of the ghosts of the people, and opened up this Taiyin Kingdom to settle these ghosts."
The environment of Taiyin Kingdom is wonderful, mortal bodies can live here, and ghosts can also live here.
This means that ghosts here can also pick up various items, have touch, taste, etc., and can also conceive and give birth to children.
They have lived and multiplied here like living people for nearly two hundred years.
Lin Yuzhi and others were stunned when they heard this.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for a ghost to give birth to a child. Even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, it will often cause an imbalance of yin energy and even harm the surrounding areas, which is considered ominous.
Unexpectedly, Taiyin Kingdom can actually make the reproduction of ghosts a logical and natural thing.
But Taiyin Immortal's vast magical powers are not exercised without reason.
Tens of millions of people were taken away from their original lives in such a careless way when Demon Lord Changsi arrived. This made the three people from Taisu Academy feel angry and silent for a while.
"However, it is precisely because of the protection of the Taiyin Kingdom and the widespread spread of Taoism in the Taiyin lineage that these ghosts can live for more than two hundred years as long as they have practiced a little bit."
"So among the people living in Taiyin Kingdom now, there are still many ghosts who experienced innocent and tragic deaths back then."
Li Shijiu continued to explain, "In addition to being able to float, the descendants of ghosts actually look similar to normal people. However, those ghosts who died tragically still have the pain of the past engraved in their souls."
"In the presence of people with certain magical power, it is easy to sense the appearance of their death. Of course, to make it sound more pleasant, everyone generally calls this the appearance of ghosts."
"If you walk around the country in the future, even if you sense these ghosts, don't make a fuss. Just adjust your perception."
Lin Yuzhi and the other two nodded.
Li Shijiu was someone who had been here before. Seeing that their atmosphere was a bit dull, he knew what was going on, and he admired them even more.
Although those who have received the Taiyin Immortal Order are all courageous people, it cannot be said that all of them are compassionate people.
Li Shijiu can't stand some people, and it's good that these three newcomers, although they seem to be country people, have such benevolence.
"Speaking of which, not every old ghost has a past appearance."
Li Shijiu deliberately changed the subject and said with a smile, "Take me for example."
He gave a thumbs up, gestured to himself, and said proudly, "Can't you tell whether I'm a human or a ghost when you look at me?"
Pang Tiezhu was very considerate and immediately showed a surprised expression: "Isn't the eldest brother a disciple of Panwang Shengu? He accumulated mana and cultivated the true form of the divine beast. Did he also turn to ghost cultivation?"
Li Shijiu chuckled: "I am indeed from Panwang Divine Valley, but a few years ago, my body was destroyed here, and there is not a drop of Panhu Divine blood left after hard work!"
"Remembering that my original cultivation speed is not fast, and I am at the bottom of the same generation in the valley, it will definitely be more embarrassing to practice all over again, so I simply took this opportunity to switch to ghost cultivation. If the cultivation is slow, I will have an excuse and look better."
"Anyway, the valley knows that I have obtained the Taiyin Immortal Order and can practice the Taoism of the Taiyin Immortal lineage, so the elders in the valley won't say anything."
He punched the ground with the mace in his hand, waved his hand, and said excitedly, "I never expected that I am a genius in ghost cultivation. After turning to ghost cultivation, it took less than a hundred years for me to achieve the Nine Refinements of True Nature." , the ghost elixir has been cultivated, and now there are soul roots and branches in the ghost elixir, and it is about to become the prototype of the divine soul flower."
Lin Yuzhi heard a few unfamiliar terms and asked curiously.
Li Shijiu followed suit and started explaining.
In the practice of immortality, after reaching the realm of earthly immortals and cultivating into a divine soul magic body, as long as more original essence is preserved in the spiritual orifice, even if the physical body is destroyed, it can be restored by the transformation of magic essence.
But if the physical body is completely destroyed below the realm of earthly immortals, it will be very troublesome. Either you have to go to great lengths to ask experts to take action, or you can ask relatives and friends to collect materials to re-train the real body, or you can only go to ghosts. The way of cultivation.
In the world of Taoism, after two thousand years of development, it has rich resources and a wide variety of resources. All kinds of resources can be purchased everywhere. Therefore, even if someone's body is destroyed and he works as a ghost cultivator for a while, he will slowly accumulate wealth and practice again. real body.
This is also due to the trend of righteousness in the world. Even if the real body is re-refined, it is not necessarily a flesh and blood body, it is more convenient to continue on the path of Xuanmen Qi refining.
The situation on the other side of the mortal world is quite different.
After these people in the Taiyin Kingdom had their bodies completely destroyed, they began to be taught magical powers by people from the Taiyin Immortal lineage and were exposed to the method of cultivation.
The place where everyone lives is a wonderful environment like the Taiyin Kingdom, so they simply did not take any Qi refining path from the beginning, and did not pursue refining the true body, but followed the path of outright ghost cultivation.
The introduction to ghost cultivation is called Dinghun. Only by stabilizing the Yin quality of one's own soul can one ensure that he will not easily lose his mind and become a vicious ghost, etc. This level can be easily achieved in an environment like the Taiyin Kingdom.
After fixing the soul and continuing to practice, you can be considered as entering the right path of ghost and immortal cultivation. The subsequent state is called the "Nine Refiners of True Nature".
The human body of flesh and blood has a fixed image, but the shape of ghosts is easy to undergo grotesque changes. Some ghosts and ghosts can already transform between vegetation, beasts, utensils, etc., even before they have undergone training. Variety.
This ever-changing ability seems enviable, as if the ghost body is more comfortable than the human body, but in fact, the ability to change easily means that the nature of these ghosts is too unstable.
Just like iron is difficult to hammer into shape, but mud can be easily kneaded.
Therefore, the body of the ghost soul must go through the Nine Refinements of True Nature, which are based on different stages of mental and spiritual concepts, corresponding to each stage of soul tempering, starting from the breathing of Yin Qi, the brightness of the moon, and then through the vitality of vegetation, thick earth evil, The vitality of living water, the vitality of magneto-optical gold, the vitality of fire, and the absorption and training of the vitality of the five elements.
In the later stage, you can accumulate the light of the sun and the stars, and let the soul slowly withstand the golden flames of the sun and the strong winds of the stars. You can retain the magical power of change while cultivating the true nature of the soul root as solid as gold and stone.
The Nine Refinements of True Nature are similar to the first nine levels of Taoist and human Qi refiners accumulating True Qi.
After the ninth refinement of the true nature, if the true nature of the soul root can be condensed into a ghost pill that is half virtual and half real, with its own mana space inside, it will be equivalent to entering the realm of scattered immortals on the path of refining qi.
As for the realm of the ghost elixir, there are two types. One is to reach the same destination through different paths, carving the spiritual orifice on the ghost elixir and following the normal path of the earthly immortal.
Another one is to hone and accumulate the ghost elixir to an extremely pure level, then pull out a twig from the soul root, and the ghost elixir sublimates, hanging like a flower bag on the branch.
This flower bag of divine soul Dao flowers is not only rooted in the bodies of ghosts and immortals, but also rests between heaven and earth at all times. Although it is different from the path of the earth immortals with spiritual apertures, it also has the strength of the earth immortal realm, and the magic of the divine path is even more mysterious.
If one day, the Divine Soul Dao Flower is no longer a flower bag, but truly blooms, it means that this ghost cultivator has entered the realm of heavenly immortals, and nine times out of ten, it is the immortal mind that will A fairy on the road.
Zhao Dongqing listened most attentively and thoughtfully.
Although the three people selected by Guan Luoyang are now majoring in spiritual martial arts, only Lin Yuzhi is the purest in martial arts. She embarked on this path under the guidance of Guan Luoyang after her original foundation was almost completely destroyed.
Pang Tiezhu came from Qi refining and cultivation.
Zhao Dongqing, as for Zhao Dongqing, had comprehended Taiyin's magical power in his early years, but he was only ignorant of it. Now that he has learned more about the inheritance of Taiyin lineage, he suddenly felt that he could draw parallels.
"Although the way of ghost cultivation is relatively rare in the Taoist world, it is also a great road to the sky. Even Taoism of the Taiyin lineage originally focuses on ghost cultivation."
Li Jiu said, "The four most outstanding disciples of the Taiyin Sect today are not the disciples that Taiyin Immortal accepted in the Taoist and human world in the early years. They stand out from the ghost cultivators of the Taiyin Kingdom."
"I still remember that they are called Mei Shengxue, Liu Rushi, Shi Farewell, and Wei Xiangsi. Their strength is already equivalent to the peak of the Earth Immortal. When they use their magical powers, it's confusing. I don't know. It's so powerful that it can hit your opponent."
Lin Yuzhi said: "How many earthly immortals are there in Taiyin Kingdom now?"
"It's hard to say how many earthly immortals there are."
Li Shijiu said, "People like me will go back to the Daoist Realm every few years. Some people will go back every few months, such as Gu Feixiang, the demon king of the Pure Demon Kingdom. go in."
"To talk about the earthly immortals who have been stationed here for more than a hundred years, in addition to the ghost cultivators of the Taiyin lineage, there are also the five elders and seven heroes of the Nanhai Immortal Sect, the Qingtian Sanzhen of the Beihai Qingtian Peak, and Liu Ying of the Southern Xinjiang. , are all great masters.”
Zhao Dongqing opened his mouth and said bluntly: "If you want to obtain the Taoism of Taiyin lineage, what should you do?"
"Then of course we're going to cut down those long insects."
Li Jiu blurted out, and then added, "You can't just chop down the long insects, but also destroy their formations. Merit is calculated based on this. With merit, you can get a lot of things in exchange."
"I remember that Gu Feixiang made a great contribution in the early years. He directly asked Taiyin Immortal to take action and took the trouble to illustrate a set of magic scriptures for refining gods and demons with signs. He re-deduced it and eliminated 108 types of signs. The hidden dangers of gods and demons.”
"The Pure Demon Kingdom has made a lot of money over the years relying on that book."
Lin Yuzhi's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Dongqing wants to do the Taiyin method? Anyway, Master asked us to do whatever we want here. The more active the better, so let's stop wandering around and go trample the territory first. A few demons try their hand at it.”
