Chapter 528: Taiqing Purple Qi
The most common spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, also known as the three lights of positive energy. In addition, there are various natural energies.

For example, when a cultivator is at the foundation-building stage, he practices Zhou Tian Gong. If his body is congenitally deficient, he needs to absorb external energy to replenish his body. This kind of replenishment technique often involves breathing in and out of an old tree, absorbing the natural energy of the old tree into the body to strengthen one's own vitality.

Flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish all have a natural aura. Although it is not as strong as the light of the sun, moon and stars, it is also significant.

In addition, there is the earth vein qi, earth lung qi, wind qi, fire qi, thunder qi and so on.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that surged from Qianyang Mountain is different from all of these. This kind of spiritual energy has existed in the world since the beginning of the world. It is the remnant after the creation of heaven and earth, and is also called ancestral energy.

A place with strong ancestral energy is called a holy land.

There are many such holy places in the world of earthly immortals, but they all have owners.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu originally thought that Xiniu Island was located in the Dark Sea and was barren and desolate. She never expected that there was a holy place here!
Qianyang Mountain is not small in size, and can be considered as medium-to-high in the Earthly Immortal Realm. If it were placed in other worlds, there would probably be only one holy place in a thousand worlds, and the scale would definitely not be this large.

What’s more crucial is that the holy places in other worlds have often already had owners. They are either occupied by immortal sects for tens of thousands of years, or they are under the jurisdiction of a certain immortal.

Ancestral Qi is extremely important and is related to the cultivation of cultivators after they become immortals. Therefore, immortals attach great importance to holy places.

"If the immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm knew that there was a holy place of this size here, I'm afraid that hundreds of thousands or even millions of immortals would come to attack us in the next moment. There would be more immortals than the cultivators in Xiniu Island!"

The Queen Mother Hou Tu still found it incredible. She should have appeared in the ancestral land of the earthly immortal world, but she appeared in Xiniu Xinzhou. It was really incredible.

"Could it be that Tianzun also came to Xiniuzhou for this holy land? It doesn't seem likely."

Empress Hou Tu thought to herself, "If he knew that Qianyang Mountain was a holy place, he would have settled here long ago. After ten thousand years of cultivation, he would have probably become a Taiyi Golden Immortal by now. Why should he be so cautious?"

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in a medium-sized holy land is extremely astonishing, enough to nurture a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The combat power of Taiyi Jinxian is amazing and he can be said to be invincible in places like Xiniu Xinzhou!
Every Taiyi Golden Immortal, unless he has extraordinary talent, needs a medium-sized holy land as a foundation.

But it is not easy to find such a holy place. The place where Hou Tu Niangniang lived was near Qianyang Mountain, but this holy place was never found. The same was true during the Zhen Wang era and the Great Shang era.

If Chen Shi had not suddenly decided to plant a purple vine to find a place with abundant spiritual energy, he would never have discovered the secret of Qianyang Mountain.

In the world of earthly immortals, there is a method of dividing gold and locating, which can be used to find the holy place that produces ancestral energy.

Niangniang Hou Tu thought to herself, "It's already amazing that the ancestral qi can be cultivated to the Taiyi Jinxian. Of course, it's even better after transformation. Using Taiqing purple qi to cultivate is better than any panacea! Purple qi's understanding of Tao is also far superior to other spiritual energies."

Taiqing Purple Qi is very beneficial to practitioners. For example, Taoist Liu was originally a willow tree in the mortal world. His cultivation to this point is the limit he can achieve in this life. It is difficult to go further. His innate limit is here, even if he is immersed in the ancestral energy, it will not have any effect.

If he were nourished by purple energy, he could make up for his innate deficiencies. Although he could not catch up with species like the hibiscus tree and the purple sky vine, his achievements could reach a higher level.

"Your Majesty is so lucky." Queen Hou Tu thought to herself.

The ancestral energy from Qianyang Mountain in front of Chen Shi continued to flow towards the small earthenware area. In the small earthenware area, a tiny sprout finally broke through the ground and grew slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“It’s growing so fast!”

Chen Shi was surprised, "It grows faster than Wu Qi!"

Wu Qi grew very fast. After a few days of not seeing him, he had grown into a living person. However, the Purple Sky Vine absorbed the ancestral energy from Qianyang Mountain and grew even faster. In a short period of time, he was almost as tall as Chen Shi.

The two Purple Sky Ivy plants grew in different ways. Wu Qi's Purple Sky Ivy did not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor did it grow upwards, but crawled in a winding manner. However, this Purple Sky Ivy absorbed spiritual energy and climbed towards the sky!
Chen Shi hurriedly activated the talisman to reinforce the small earthenware pile to prevent the roots of the purple vine from piercing through it.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Shi had imprinted hundreds of talismans into the loess. At this moment, he discovered that as the Purple Sky Vine grew taller and bigger, the small cube of earth was also getting bigger!

The earth that was only five feet square before has now grown to one foot in size.

Moreover, as the purple vine grew bigger and taller, the small piece of earth also grew bigger!
"The soil in my godmother's Taoist temple is truly ever-changing." Chen Shi thought to himself.

He once heard someone say that if one rashly entered the loess slope, one would see the loess as huge as the sky, pressing down on the person who came, which was extremely terrifying.

He had never seen it with his own eyes. Only now did he get a glimpse of the magic of loess.

After a few more breaths, the Purple Sky Vine had reached more than ten feet in height. The vines were like tentacles, piercing into the void and climbing upwards to prevent itself from falling.

It is still sprouting branches and growing upwards.

Chen Shi felt that the loess was getting heavier. The loess in front of the temple was extraordinary, and it was getting bigger and heavier as the purple sky vine grew. He was afraid that when the purple sky vine grew to a hundred feet, he would not be able to bear the weight of the loess.

"The Purple Sky Vine can grow to be as tall as the sky. It is too big and will attract the attention of others who will try to seize this treasure. Is it only possible to place this treasure in the Void Realm to avoid attracting the covetousness of others?"

He thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

"Yellow soil is the soil in front of the temple. I also have a small temple, and I also have soil in front of the temple!"

There are many spiritual herbs planted in front of the small temple behind his head. It is a fertile land, and with the nourishment of the sunshine from his ancestral land, the spiritual herbs are growing well, plump and full of medicinal properties.

Chen Shi immediately picked up the increasingly large piece of earth and the increasingly tall purple vine and moved them towards the small temple.

After a while, he finally planted the purple vine in front of his small temple and breathed a sigh of relief.

The small temple he planted was the second small temple, but he was afraid that the purple vine would affect the growth of other spiritual medicines. After all, the growth rate of this plant was too amazing, and he was worried that it would drain the fertility of the soil.

However, just after the purple vine and yellow soil were planted, Chen Shi saw a few ginseng grass dolls peeking over here curiously.

Chen Shi didn't care. Ever since Zhu Xiucai, Little Linden Fairy and others left, the temple behind his head had been vacant, and it was all thanks to the ginseng grass dolls to clean and take care of it.

The ginseng dolls are very diligent. They burn incense to the immortals and magic weapons enshrined in the temple and sweep the ground. Of course, most of the time they lazily bask in the sun.

"The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in Qianyang Mountain is so abundant that it is suitable for cultivating the Purple Sky Vine here. I wonder how long it will take for the Purple Sky Vine to produce the Taiqing Purple Qi?"

At this time, he noticed that the ginseng grass dolls sneaked to the side of the purple sky vine and climbed up the branches and leaves of the purple sky vine. Soon, these big-headed dolls lay among the leaves, lazily, and seemed very comfortable.

Not long after, other spiritual medicines were also uprooted and came to the outside of the second temple. They took root next to the purple vine, or transformed themselves and climbed onto the leaves of the vine and lay down.

After all, this purple vine had just grown out, and there were not enough leaves. So these spiritual grass dolls started fighting with each other, punching and kicking, and they were having a lot of fun fighting for the ownership of the leaves.

There was also a spirit grass doll that was defeated, beaten black and blue, and fell from the two-meter-high vine, falling to the ground with a thud. Chen Shi was worried that someone might be killed, so he tried to intervene, but he saw the little girl doll that was transformed from the spirit grass quickly climbed up, patted the dirt off her body, and climbed back up the vine to continue fighting fiercely.

He was relieved now.

"The Immortal Lord Zi Tian planted many magical herbs and medicines on the branches and leaves of the Purple Sky Vine. I think the Purple Sky Vine can make the magical herbs grow better and faster! Since these magical herbs like the Purple Sky Vine so much, let them be."

These days, as the Niangniang Temple took shape, the small temple behind Chen Shi's head also expanded. Now there are nine temples, arranged in this order: one in the front, three in the middle, and five in the back.

Chen Shi planted the purple vine in the middle of the temple. From a distance, it looked like a small tree in front of the temple and was not noticeable.

Moreover, he can put the small temple in the back of his mind at any time, and use it when he needs it.

However, the Purple Sky Vine needs to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth. If he put the small temple behind his head, he would feel a chill at the back of his head, which was very strange. Therefore, Chen Shi decided to leave the small temple outside.

"How come Qianyang Mountain has such a rich spiritual energy?"

Chen Shi became interested and flew into Qianyang Mountain, relying on the Purple Sky Vine's sensitivity to spiritual energy to search for the source of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

In Qianyang Mountain, the Purple Sky Vine absorbed more spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, and its growth rate was even more amazing. During the time that Chen Shi had been searching for it, it had grown to more than three meters long, like a dragon climbing in the air, with the beauty of a swimming dragon in its posture.

Chen Shi searched the mountains for a long time and finally determined that the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy was a cliff on the southwest side of Qianyang Mountain. The concentration of spiritual energy there was several times that of the edge.

He sat cross-legged on the cliff, took out the Purple Fairy Gourd, held up the treasure and carefully studied the various textures on the surface of the treasure.

After a long time, he tied his mind to the Purple Sky Vine, imprinted the patterns of the Dao that he had learned from the Purple Sky Fairy Gourd on the Purple Sky Vine, and tried to refine the Purple Sky Vine into a weapon.

Purple Sky Vine is a rare treasure. Since it is a rare treasure, it can naturally be refined.

Chen Shi had always lacked a handy weapon, so he wanted to sacrifice this treasure. At present, the purple sky vine is still small. When it grows into a towering giant, it will be difficult to sacrifice it, and it will consume a lot of mana and energy.

He summoned his primordial spirit, separated yin and yang with his hands, and imprinted all kinds of Dao patterns on the Purple Sky Vine. The Dao patterns were imprinted into them, and his blood and energy were also imprinted into the Purple Sky Vine along with the Dao patterns.

Gradually, the Purple Sky Vine felt a connection with his blood and energy, as if it had become a part of Chen Shi's body, breathing with his breathing and relaxing with his relaxation.

Chen Shi was quite happy and continued to perform the ritual.

However, as the ritual became more advanced, he realized that the magic power consumed during the ritual was increasing, and the loss of energy and blood was also increasing, gradually making him feel a lack of energy and blood.

This was a feeling he had never experienced even when he was refining immortal weapons!

Even the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword did not consume such an outrageous amount of Qi and blood. The Blood-Transforming Divine Sword even took the initiative to help him replenish his Qi and blood, of course with malicious intentions.

“Why is there so much loss?”

Chen Shi looked at the Purple Sky Vine and saw that during this period of time, this strange treasure had grown to dozens of feet high, climbing in the air, which was amazing. No wonder the loss of Qi and blood was increasing!

"If it takes a while longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to refine this treasure at all! Skeleton body, give me a hand!"

Chen Shi gritted his teeth and activated the Blood Lake Sutra. On the distant battlefield in Zhenzhou, Skeleton Chen Shi killed a ghost god. The ghost god's blood and energy flowed into the sword, and after being refined by the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, it flowed to the Blood Sea Hell behind his head.

Chen Shi and the bloody hell of the skeleton's body seemed to be connected, and a steady stream of blood flowed from the back of Zhenzhou's skeleton's head into the back of Chen Shi's head.

Although the deficiency of Qi and blood has been resolved, the cultivation level is still being depleted.

Chen Shi continued to practice and refine, imprinting more Dao patterns into the Purple Sky Vine, and his control over the Purple Sky Vine became more and more handy.

In such a short period of time, the Purple Sky Vine had grown to a height of a hundred feet, and the vine leaves were as big as mats. The spiritual grass dolls on the vine leaves no longer dared to fight - if they fell from such a height, they would probably be smashed to pieces.

Now that the purple wisteria has grown many vines and leaves, they no longer need to fight over it.

When Chen Shi's magic power was about to be exhausted, he stopped the ritual.

He opened his eyes and saw a purple aura hanging from the purple vine.

This purple air was like a substance, hanging down and appearing to be very heavy, attracting him to move forward and absorb the power of the purple air.

The purple air is called Taiqing purple air. The sage of Taiqing is revered as Laozi. Chen Shi once studied his works with Zhu Xiucai and admired Laozi's power very much.

Zhu Xiucai talked about the things of the Taiqing Saint, saying that the ancestral temple Hangu Pass is the pass leading to other worlds. The pass commander Yin Xi has extremely strong cultivation and guards this pass to prevent smuggling. Yin Xi saw the purple air coming from the east, stretching for thousands of miles, and knew that a saint was going to leave the pass and he could not stop it, so he lowered his posture and greeted Laozi.

Lao Tzu knew that he was invincible in the world, but it was boring to stay in this world, so he passed on what he had realized to Yin Xi at Hangu Pass, which were the Tao Te Ching and the Dao Te Ching.

Chen Shi first studied the Analects of Confucius and then the Tao Te Ching, and put them into practice, which led to his current status.

Now, although he knew that Zhu Xiucai had taught him wrongly, he had no intention of correcting it.

Chen Shi looked at the clear purple energy and did not try to absorb or refine it.

He promised the Empress that he would give Taoist Liu three strands of Taiqing purple air, so naturally he had to keep his word and not go back on his word.

"Now, my rituals and refining can be considered to have achieved some success. The Purple Sky Vine is my magic weapon, and others cannot take it away easily. But if someone's cultivation strength exceeds mine by a lot, I can still snatch it away."

Chen Shi straightened up, slightly startled, and felt that his cultivation had improved a lot without him noticing.

He did not absorb the Taiqing purple energy, but because he refined the Zitian Vine into a magic weapon, he also gained considerable benefits when the Zitian Vine breathed in and out!
"This treasure is truly amazing! No wonder Godmother said that Zi Tian Xianjun wasted heaven's gift."

Chen Shi left the cliff, turned back, wrote the words "Liang Tian" on the cliff, and turned back to the imperial capital of Xinxiang.

“Brother, people, people!”

When Caner saw him coming back, she hurried over, took his hand and ran towards the imperial garden.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Chen Shi stood in front of another purple vine, looking at the scene in front of him, speechless for a long time.

Another witchcraft grew on the tree, exactly the same as the previous one!
Chen Shi calmed himself down, turned around and left: "I'm going to talk to my godmother!"
