I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 117 Boy Yang Yan
The next day, early morning.

Chen Jing performed a set of nourishing exercises, slowly moving the river cart to nourish his divine essence.

Yesterday's discussion not only confirmed my own cultivation but also broadened my understanding of practical cultivation. The golden lotus seed within my sea of ​​consciousness, with its divine light contained, is only a thin veil away from giving birth to the Dao embryo.

After breakfast.

Yao Jing, as the initiator of the search for heaven, led Chen Jing and the other two out of the courtyard and to the foot of Mount Diluo.

Clicking on the smart bracelet projects a semi-transparent light screen with only a few hundred words, which says: "Myths and stories are rarely found in the Diluo Mountain area. After a rough screening, only this story may be related to Diluo Heaven."

After that, the light screen displayed a story that had been passed down in Diluo Mountain, but it was not a legend about immortals, but a fable—"Ten Thousand Lives Boiling Stone".

The era is quite long, and the information unearthed is only superficial.

The story is roughly as follows:
In the early Song Dynasty, a scholar named Wan Ming went into the mountains to study diligently. During his afternoon nap, he dreamed of an immortal who told him that he only needed to boil a stone until it melted to ascend to immortality.

How can stone be boiled into melt?

Everyone assumed Wan Sheng had hysteria.

Wan Sheng's Dao heart remained steadfast and unmoved. He chose to live in seclusion, went into the mountains to cut down trees, and set up a stove to cook stones for cultivating immortality.

Enduring everyone's criticism, he chopped wood and boiled stones day after day for years.

After years of arduous struggle, the stone remained a stone, showing no sign of melting.

Wan Sheng died of hunger and cold, ultimately becoming a negative example for the locals, used to admonish children to study hard.

"........."

Chen Jing felt a pang of sadness after reading the story.

My initial reluctance to cultivate immortality stemmed largely from the belief that I would suffer the same fate as Wan Sheng.

Boiling stones can make one an immortal.

Why do stones melt when boiled?
Why can boiling stone turn one into an immortal?

Without figuring these things out, Chen Jing certainly wouldn't have gone to boil stones.

However, the nature of a subject changes completely as one progresses from the shallow to the deep. Even if one cannot become an immortal, there is no harm in learning some knowledge.

Physiognomy, shamanism, Qimen Dunjia, and geomancy.

From small things, one can see great things. For cultivators, a fable can reveal a great deal of information.

At this stage, Fang Xin and Chen Jing are of no use. Fang Xin chatted with Chen Jing and said, "Boiling stones, refining earth with water and fire, and inheriting the foundation of life cultivation and qi."

"I think it must have been that the immortals of the Earthly Realm used boiling stones to transmit the Dharma, but the scholar Wan Ming lacked spiritual insight. After waking up from the dream, he could only remember part of the content and forgot that boiling stones was a metaphor, which led to the tragedy of him dying of hunger and cold."

Chen Jing thought of the Medicine King Cultivation Temple, using the activities of herding sheep, gathering herbs, and farming to make the ethereal and indescribable practice of cultivation a tangible reality.

He nodded and said, "That's how it is. The ancient immortals broke through the real world to manifest their divine power and entered my dream with miasma, but unexpectedly, it backfired."

"........."

Lai Ming then examined the terrain map of Diluo Mountain and performed calculations using the Qimen Dunjia divination method.

Qimen is a form of mathematics, encompassing the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and the Jiazi cycle. Any divination techniques involved in Qimen can be categorized under Qimen, leading to the development of concepts such as celestial timing, weather forecasting, divination, and fortune telling.

Using Qimen Dunjia to interpret Feng Shui leans more towards the concept of "wind" in Feng Shui, and is more adept at assessing the living dwellings of the living than Confucian or Taoist Feng Shui.

Turning to Yaojing, he said, "The Earthly Heaven should have been created in the early Tang Dynasty. If we adjust the terrain of this place back to the early Tang Dynasty, we can find the mountain peak that the Earthly Heaven is attached to."

【drop! 】

Upon hearing this, Yao Jing lightly tapped the light screen with her finger.

By reverting the map of Diluo Mountain to the early Tang Dynasty, a feng shui diagram was drawn. The entire mountain range was first analyzed using the three cardinal principles of qi veins, water outlets, and the bright hall, leaving only dense lines on the model diagram.

With a light tap of his finger on the light screen, he marked the location where Zheng Tu had dug out the five-colored soil.

The five elements of dragon vein, cave, sand, water, and direction are determined, and dozens of marked points appear on the lines.

With the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues already established, the Five Colored Soil is then substituted into the Five Elements for further deduction, leaving only a small red dot in the end.

Yao Jing paused for a moment before saying, "The information is correct. The location of Di Luo Tian is in Di Luo Mountain—Jue Yun Peak. Next, it will depend on the three of you to find the entrance to Di Luo Tian."

"........."

Portal!

It can also be described as the node connecting the spiritual world and the real world.

Just like the spirit realm nodes in the metaverse, or rather, the spirit realm nodes are like the gateways to the heavens in the real world.

Feng shui can only narrow down the scope from a radius of a dozen miles to a single mountain peak.

If it were an ancient feng shui master, they would have already been able to pinpoint the acupoints on the Jueyun Peak dragon vein by now; if it were a tomb raider, they would have to use a Luoyang shovel to pinpoint the acupoints in reverse.

The four people's purpose was to seek the heavens.

Just as the tomb owner didn't want the living to visit, the creator of the world didn't want cultivators to visit either, making the work much more complicated from there.

Unlike tomb raiders who can find their burial sites by following clues.

The gateway to the sky is even harder to find. A flower is a world, a mustard seed is but a fleeting moment. The sky could be a stone, a painting, an object, or even an ancient tree.

Chen Jing glanced at the mountain path and asked, "Have the two people who might be destined to be children yet reached an agreement?"

Yao Jing tapped the light screen and made a phone call, instructing, "Send Yang Yan and Ji Yuying to Diluo Mountain."

Two villagers suspected of being born with a child's destiny: a 40-year-old male writer named Yang Yan and a 32-year-old female dancer named Ji Yuying.

There was a moment of stunned silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a somewhat anxious voice: "Boss, something unexpected has happened."

"We agreed on a price beforehand, but only Yang Yan came to the agreed address. We are trying to contact Ji Yuying."

Only one left!
Yao Jing frowned, and quickly realized that Master Zheng had sold the information about Diluo Mountain to someone else, who had no intention of receiving the final payment: "Ignore Ji Yuying, send Yang Yan to Diluo Mountain first."

Fang Xin played with the bone ornament and said coldly, "It seems we have competitors. Luckily, we found a fortune teller, otherwise, by the time we selected the child, others would have already found the heaven!"

Lai Ming nodded: "Hopefully this one is the Earthly Heavenly Child, otherwise we'll have made a wasted trip."

"........."

Waited for half an hour.

A black car stopped at the end of the mountain road. Two burly men dressed in black got out of the car, opened the door, and took Yang Yan to the foot of Diluo Mountain.

The child was intelligent and handsome, but the perception of him is completely different in ancient and modern times.

Yang Yan's features were reasonably regular, but he was over 200 pounds and was quite plump. By today's standards, he was definitely not considered handsome.

Moreover, he lacked the innocent and pure air of a child; his squinty eyes even gave him a somewhat cunning and mercenary appearance.

Chen Jing glanced at Yang Yan and said, "There's good news and bad news. Yang Yan fits the characteristics of a virgin, but Ji Yuying should also fit the characteristics."

The perfect couple! Ji Yuying is younger and less influenced by worldly affairs, making her of higher quality!
Yang Yan was bewildered when he heard himself being called a virgin: "I'm not a virgin. How can someone over forty be a virgin? But my son probably is."

Fang Xin took out a small bell and smiled, "Now that the child has been found, let's not delay. I will strengthen the connection between the child and the Earthly Realm, and then use spirit writing to seek the immortals."

"Jingle Bell!!"
