Chapter 496: Collecting Winds, Muscle Recall
He is now the "Golden Blessing Direct Talisman Official" in Yanshou Palace. As long as his soul leaves his body and he holds a magic talisman, he can go to heaven and enter the South Heaven Gate directly.

The South Gate of Heaven is the gateway to the upper realm of the spiritual sky, where the nine heavens are located. It is much easier to collect the essence of the strong wind. Since you have such a convenience in your hands, why not go and give it a try.

Ji Ming pondered for a moment, weighing the dangers in his mind. After all, he was heading to the South Heaven Gate this time, and he was not an immortal. He would be unfamiliar with the place, and it would be bad if he bumped into someone from the upper realm.

After weighing the pros and cons, I still don't want to give up this opportunity.

Since he has the title of a direct official, he did not cross the Tianmen Pass privately. It was legal and in compliance with the regulations, so there was no need for him to be so cautious.

After making up his mind, he saw a Yin Spirit like a misty shadow slowly rising from the golden elixir in his Dantian, and then escaped from the Niwan Palace on the top of his head.

After the Yin Spirit looked around, it took the talisman from the three flowers on the top of its body, and took the relic bottle. Then it prayed three times to the talisman. The talisman responded immediately, wrapped the Yin Spirit and the relic bottle in it, and escaped from the cave and went straight into the sky.

When he had escaped to about two or three thousand meters, Ji Ming felt a guiding force.

He obeyed this force, and in just a moment he broke through the spatial barrier that all mortals had been looking up to since ancient times, and crossed over to the upper realm of spiritual space.

At this moment, Ji Ming was inexplicably excited and nervous, and even began to worry about gains and losses. In fact, the many heavenly palaces in the upper realm of Lingkong already carried too many legends, and were one of the ultimate goals of the cultivators in the world in their pursuit of the Tao.

When Ji Ming first ascended to the realm and reached the gate of heaven, he looked around and saw:

Thousands of auspicious colors fill the sky, and tens of thousands of strands of dark frost temper the stars.

But above the South Gate of Heaven, there was a bright light, which really looked like a Milky Way pouring down icy water; there was a thick fog, which looked like the thunder patterns rolling down the wheels of the sun and the moon.

On both sides stand two black-armored gods, swallowing clouds and spitting lightning, with bright light embedded in their foreheads and magical birds perched on their shoulders;

Nine gilded Dharma banners are hung in the eight directions, holding up the wind and stopping the rain, with a Xuan Ji on top and a comet at the bottom.

The exterior is stunning, and the interior is even more fascinating:
Wrapped around the Panlong Pillar was a flying chain made of divine thunder, with green fluorescent fire essence bursting out from the chain links; in front of the Flying Phoenix Steps lay a Suanni cast by elites, with purple spiritual light leaking out from between its teeth.

Ji Ming could not help but look further inside. Behind the Feihuang Steps, there was the "Jie Yin Rainbow Bridge" that was emitting rays of light. On it, there were three or five fairy figures, who seemed to be strolling leisurely in the garden. If he was not careful, they would have disappeared on the rainbow bridge.

At this time, behind the Nantian Gate, the Tianni guarding the palace suddenly opened the third eye on his forehead, and the shadow of Ji Ming's Yin spirit was reflected in his pupil. He said, "Direct Fu Shang Li, why don't you return to your position!"

Ji Ming was stunned, as the Tian Ni was obviously talking about him. Then he came to his senses and realized that he, as a direct official, had an idle job of guarding the Heavenly Gate. However, since he had just ascended to the mortal world, he did not come to the South Heavenly Gate specifically for this job.

Under the majestic gaze of Tianni, Ji Ming still obediently landed in front of the South Heaven Gate.

On the left and right of the long steps in front of the door, there are protruding rocks and strange stones, with pieces of frost and snow scattered on them. Several Yin gods are holding magic scrolls on their heads, sitting, standing, or lying on them, and their faces cannot be seen clearly.

It seems that these should all be real people in the Tiannan Dao land in the lower world, and they are all listed in the Heavenly Court.

"Daoist friend, let's talk here."

One of the Yin Gods extended an invitation to him. Ji Ming first raised his hand to salute and expressed some politeness, and then landed in front of the Yin God.

Although this Yin God has no face, his hands and feet are real, as if his real body has come here. Ji Ming guessed that his Taoism must be more profound than his. However, looking at his spirit, there is a hint of emptiness, as if his Taoism has been premature recently.

Because Ji Ming wanted to take the essence of the strong wind and refine it into beads, he just exchanged a few perfunctory words with the Yin spirit and then sat alone on a deserted strange rock.

He did not cast the spell immediately. Instead, he observed for a while. Seeing that the two gods in front of the South Heaven Gate were like stone statues and the Tian Ni behind the gate was also motionless, he felt a little braver.

He threw the relic bottle into the rolling rainbow clouds under the rock, and then silently practiced magic on the rock.

The relic bottle that fell into the clouds and waves was hit by the strong wind. Ji Ming silently shouted "Stop" in his heart, and the relic bottle stopped instantly.

After sensing the situation on the bottle, Ji Ming was slightly proud. He had gained some insights into the immobilization technique, which was no longer limited to immobilizing living people, but could also immobilize magical instruments. It was indeed a magical technique passed down from ancient times. Of course, it cannot be denied that after refining the golden elixir, he had already reached a high level in magic and had reached the essence, so the immobilization technique had such an effect.

The relic bottle was fixed in the strong wind, and the mouth of the bottle exerted a suction force. In an instant, it seemed as if an eye of wind was born here. Thousands of air and wind were gathered into it, and were tempered into essence by the golden light of the relic inside the bottle.

On both sides of the long steps in front of the door, those Yin gods cast their spiritual power towards Ji Ming.

The two divine generals outside the South Heaven Gate were also startled and looked at the official on duty with a little surprise.

The weird thing was that none of them spoke a word. No matter the Yin gods on duty or the gatekeepers, they all seemed to be in sync and just tried to find out Ji Ming's method of practicing in the strong wind.

In fact, they all knew that at the South Gate of Heaven, there were the laws and rules of the Tiancao Immortal Class, and Ji Ming's behavior was not enough to violate the laws.

Behind the South Gate of Heaven, the Tian Ni, who was lying under the incense burner with his nose turned up to the sky and yellow eyebrows and flames, glanced at Ji Ming Yin Shen again and took a close look at the magic scroll.

"The Jinfu direct talisman of the Yanshou Palace is on duty."

Tian Ni said something silently in his heart, then crossed his front legs and started fighting.

When the two gods saw the appearance of Tian Ni, they continued to wander in their minds.

They knew that the superior official was merely taking advantage of his duty at Tianmen to practice magic in Yungang.

Even if this matter is talked about to the sky, it will only be a reprimand. Since the guarding Tianni doesn't care, the gods on duty will not worry about it. They are not the gods of thunder who can't tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes.

The palace officials on duty in front of the gate, seeing that the gods did not care and Tian Ni did not ask, naturally did not interfere. At this level, they were all smart people, so naturally they would rather have less trouble than more.

Before the South Heaven Gate, after Ji Ming's bottle of Gangfeng Essence was tempered, not only was the quality several times better than the effect of the Gangfeng Breathing Method he performed in the Leiwen Mountain and Lake, the amount it contained was also much greater.

Ji Ming practiced this for more than a hundred days, about three months. After filling a bottle with the essence of Gangfeng, he also received more than three hundred Yinde at the South Tianmen as a reward for his duty at the Tianmen.

When receiving the reward, the two generals looked as if Ji Ming had gotten a great advantage.

Ji Ming happily descended to the mortal world. His soul had been away from his body for three months, and his physical body could still hold on. But if he stayed in heaven for longer, his physical body would become stiff and dead, and he would not have the ability to possess a body and be reborn.

After returning to his body, Ji Ming pushed the blood to revive the flesh.

The physical body is a precious raft for crossing the world. Even if one has cultivated into a Yangshen Earthly Immortal, one can abandon the physical body and ascend to heaven. However, if one wants to achieve greater success, it is best to have both physical and spiritual perfection.

Placing the relic bottle filled with Gangfeng essence in front of him, Ji Ming's joy faded a little. After all, he couldn't focus on two things at the same time, so he had to make a trade-off.

Obviously, the second soul is still weak, and his little ability can be taken advantage of at any time to spy on his strengths and weaknesses.

Therefore, it can be predicted that in the future, I need to focus on the second soul body, at least to let the second soul body gain a foothold, so that even if my consciousness returns, I will not have to worry about being taken advantage of by others.

Even though he had anticipated this, Ji Ming was still weighing the pros and cons. He wanted to have the best of both worlds, taking care of the development of his second soul body while ensuring the nourishment and improvement of his main body in the Dao Zang·Yunshou Lungs.

To achieve this, Ji Ming must practice the Gangfeng Breathing Method to a state similar to muscle memory.

This requires Ji Ming to try again and again. After thousands of times, even if his consciousness leaves his body, his spirit and body can still practice the Gangfeng Breathing Method to transfer the essence of the Gangfeng in the relic bottle into the Taoist organ.

This is a mechanical and repetitive process. If there is any deviation, Ji Ming must turn around immediately.
