I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 257: The Styx invades the world, and the world is out of order

After becoming the official elder of Baiyun Temple, the benefits that Zhong Lixiao can obtain are enormous.

The most intuitive point is the salary, which has soared a hundred times compared to the original inner sect disciples.

Just the mid-grade spirit stones alone can be collected in tens of thousands every year.

And this is just the official salary, and does not include other various gray incomes.

After reaching the Golden Core level, one will be qualified to provide protection to a family or even a small sect.

If you are not afraid of cause and effect, just the name can earn you a lot of gray income every year.

As for the elixirs that are very useful for cultivators in the Jindan stage, they can also receive a certain share every year.

From here we can also see the difference between the Golden Elixir and the Foundation Building stage. The salary received in the Foundation Building stage is mostly monthly, but the salary received in the Jindan stage is mostly annual.

This is determined by the lifespan levels of the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Core Formation Stage. The time required for a retreat after reaching the Core Formation Stage is far beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

In addition, the difficulty of obtaining raw materials for various elixirs that are useful for the Jindan stage has increased a lot.

The requirements on the year are quite strict.

In this regard, the advantages of sects and forces are fully demonstrated.

There are many medicinal fields and blessed lands within the sect, and the spiritual medicines inside have been cultivated for hundreds of years. It is far from possible for a cultivation force with average foundation to achieve that.

of course.

The benefits of the Jindan stage are far more than this.

For example, if cultivators in the Jindan stage want to read the skills in the Sutra Library, the permissions are basically relaxed and there are significant price discounts when exchanging them.

The main reason for this is that when one reaches the Jindan stage, they are basically the backbone of the sect.

Even in terms of the inheritance of martial arts techniques, they mainly rely on these golden elixirs.

In addition, if a Jindan stage cultivator wants to post a task within the sect, there are also a lot of discounts, and the sect will also make it very convenient.

What's more, to a certain extent, the sect will even take the initiative to protect the clansmen and relatives of the Jindan cultivators.

From these measures, it can be seen that after reaching the Golden Core Realm, one can already be regarded as the "boss" of the sect.

As for other welfare benefits, they are reflected in all aspects, such as having privileges in the exchange of various treasures.

After his true level of cultivation was revealed, although various troubles and crises followed, there were also many benefits.

For example, the three disciples Xue Jingliang, Ning Yunzhi, and Hu Xiaolu were busy for more than half a month before they slowly realized that they had become the direct descendants of the Golden Elixir Sect.

Even so, it still feels like a dream.

When they thought about how Master Zhong had just revealed his Golden Elixir cultivation and had directly defeated the Buddha's son Baoshu of the Vajra Temple, Xue Jingliang and the other two realized how good Master Zhong was at hiding.

Simple and steady as an old dog!

There is no doubt that this prudent style is destined to become a fine tradition passed down from generation to generation in Zhong Lixiao's lineage.

As the influence of the Jindan Ceremony gradually passed, Zhong Lixiao's life slowly returned to the daily rhythm of selecting secret books in the library, teaching disciples, and practicing and performing magic.

Occasionally I would visit relatives and friends, attend some gatherings, appreciate elixirs and treasures, feast and have fun, and I really felt a sense of freedom and ease.

During this process, Zhong Lixiao also gradually learned some tips on collecting the essence of the sun and the moon through communication with some spiritual plant farmers and even weapon refiners.

It may be called a little trick, but it is also very valuable in essence.

Before he revealed his Jindan stage cultivation, to obtain such "little tricks" one would have to pay at least a considerable price. But now that he has become a Jindan Zhenren in the eyes of the world, the "unrevealed secrets" have now become "little tricks."

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao felt as if the whole world was open to him.

Completely stepped into a higher and wider world!
Take collecting the essence of the sun and the moon as an example. The most basic way is to use the visualization diagram, and the more advanced way is to use some treasures.

For example, some higher-level spiritual plant husbands can use treasures such as the Haotian Mirror to artificially change the degree of sunlight, thereby assisting the growth of spiritual plants.

The "little trick" that Zhong Lixiao learned is a kind of secret prayer ritual.

Through special mantras and rituals, one can sense the existence of the Moon and absorb more abundant lunar energy for one's own use.

Zhong Lixiao was quite interested in this.

After all, the scene where Fourth Senior Sister Qin Jue borrowed the power of Taiyin Moonlight for her own use left a very deep impression on him.

Because of his magical power "Taotai", Zhong Lixiao was naturally close to the unity of man and nature. The little tricks of worshiping the moon and collecting moonlight in the eyes of others benefited Zhong Lixiao a lot.

I really understand some of the techniques of communicating with the sun and the moon!

On this basis, he even learned how to brew Moonlight Wine, which is not only beneficial for refining the spirit, but also provides a powerful means for growing spiritual plants.

The most important thing is that his Zhong Lixiao lineage finally has some local specialties that are worth showing off.

Regarding this matter, it was Xue Jingliang who was the first to take action.

As the eldest brother of the Diling Peak lineage, he was usually responsible for entertaining guests. His family was not well-off, so he was indeed very distressed.

Therefore, Xue Jingliang was particularly serious in learning how to extract the essence of the sun and the moon.

They even opened up several acres of fertile land and found some high-quality fruit tree seeds to plant.

Not only Xue Jingliang, but Ning Yunzhi was also very concerned and helped to make the clouds and rain fall from time to time.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but smile.

Such a carefree and easy life really feels very good.

In my spare time, I would sit on a reclining chair, read books, and bask in the sun. I would occasionally teach my disciples and answer their questions. I would then plant the fields and weed the fields, and watch the fruits grow and bear fruit.
How comfortable it is!
It is no wonder that people often say that the way of cultivation is to combine work and rest. In this leisurely atmosphere suitable for master and apprentice, the second apprentice Ning Yunzhi and the third apprentice Hu Xiaolu have made very gratifying progress.

Basically, they have reached the edge of building the foundation!

Especially Hu Xiaolu, Zhong Lixiao even suspected that she was almost the same as him, and obtained a ray of the mystery of heaven and earth in the process of building the foundation.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao was also extremely happy.

No one knows better than him how much benefit the infusion of the mysteries of heaven and earth can bring.

If we look into it in detail, perhaps the third disciple Hu Xiaolu will be the most stable and outstanding on the path.

As for Xue Jingliang, he lived towards death and successfully escaped the doom of death. His future prospects are limitless.

Especially as his attainments in puppetry became more and more advanced, it was only a matter of time before he became famous.

On the contrary, for the second disciple Ning Yunzhi, the gap between her and the eldest brother and third sister will become larger and larger as time goes by.

However, to this day, Ning Yunzhi is still a little bit short of successfully awakening her magical powers.

It seems that his plan to build a fairy city can no longer be delayed!

Not only does he need it to refine the Mountain and River Seal, but Ning Yunzhi also needs it to awaken her magical powers.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar between heaven and earth, like thunder, as if something was broken, and then there was a lot of gurgling sounds like a spring. The famous strong men in the world shuddered at the first moment.

As for Zhong Lixiao, his feelings were even more profound when he was in a state of unity between man and nature.

At that moment, Zhong Lixiao felt as if a big hole had been pierced through the sky and earth, and then the whole world became much darker and colder.

If I were to describe the feeling, it was like a dark and cold presence that suddenly blocked a portion of the sun, causing the sky to become darker and colder.

What is this?

Zhong Lixiao flew out of Baiyun Temple as soon as possible, and then, taking advantage of his compatibility with heaven and earth, he quickly looked in all directions of Baiyun Temple.

Then, Zhong Lixiao unexpectedly discovered that a black object suddenly appeared not far from Fuyun Fairy City.

It seemed like a black pool, or perhaps a devil's abyss, and it was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A large amount of black mist quickly gushed out from the Demon Abyss.

The endless cold air that Zhong Lixiao had sensed before, and even the black fog that seemed to be able to cover the scorching sun in the sky, was spreading out from it.

Perhaps it was because Zhong Lixiao was in a state of unity between man and nature. As his perception deepened, Zhong Lixiao finally got some information about the black pool.

Rather than saying that these things that are constantly eroding the present world are the devil's abyss, it is better to say that they are dark springs.

The bottom of the spring is connected to the River Styx in the underworld and is part of the cycle of heaven and earth.

According to the normal order of heaven and earth, yin and yang are in order, and life continues forever.

The world of the living belongs to the world of the living, and the world of the dead belongs to the world of the dead. Even though a small number of Shinto authorities communicate between the two worlds, on the whole they do not interfere with each other.

But in fact, there are quite a few demonic sects and even ghost cultivators who can enter and exit the gap between the yin and yang worlds.

What's worse, many demonic sects were given the title of demonic sects because they extracted souls, refined souls, and raised ghosts, seriously disrupting the order of the world.

Sects like the Yin Demon Sect and the Huangquan Demon Sect even have the means to open up the Huangquan Road between the Yin and Yang worlds, thereby absorbing some of the Yin and Ming energy and artificially creating some "Underworld" in the Yang world.

Through this, one can raise ghosts, refine souls, and even nurture one's own spiritual consciousness in these underworld lands, and refine some ghost weapons with underworld characteristics.

If the means are more sophisticated, some of the ghost breeding sites can even be set up in the underworld.

If the time is right, they will even go directly into the underworld to capture evil spirits and ghosts in order to refine powerful soul flags.

There is no doubt that this method is extremely dangerous and is likely to lead to revenge from evil spirits in the underworld.

Looking at the ancient history of the world of immortal cultivation, there are countless ghost cultivation sects in the world. Perhaps they were unprecedentedly powerful the year before, but the next year they would be directly ruined or even wiped out due to the revenge and backlash of evil spirits in the underworld.

Its prosperity is also great, and its death is also sudden.

As I said, the order of yin and yang is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Just as evil spirits are subject to many restrictions and weakening when they come to the human world, living people will also encounter huge restrictions and influences when they enter the underworld.

If you enter with your physical body, it would be like sliding into a tiger.

It is inevitable that it will attract the covetousness of a large number of evil spirits and fierce ghosts, and if you are not careful, your physical body will be eaten alive by many evil spirits.

Even if one is extremely lucky and is not eaten alive by evil spirits in the underworld, the dark energy of the underworld can greatly affect the lifespan of the living.

If you rely solely on your soul to enter the underworld, the danger is also extremely great.

Even if he is a cultivator, a simple soul, he does not have much ability to protect himself when facing the strong ghost cultivators in the underworld.

As for the soul leaving the body and entering the underworld, that is something that only those who are above the level of the God Transformation Venerable can do.

Even the local gods and city gods, who have some functions in communicating between the Yin and Yang worlds, are essentially guiding the souls into the underworld.

If the City God trespasses into the depths of the underworld without permission, he may even fall into the underworld.

Therefore, the world of the living and the world of the dead basically go their own way and do not interfere with each other.

Even some of the demonic sects that can communicate between yin and yang are mostly built in very special locations.

These "treasure lands" are located at the junction of the yin and yang worlds. As for entering the underworld to capture evil spirits, they mostly rely on special weather conditions.

but.

Perhaps it is because of the order of yin and yang that both the underworld and the world of the living have some yearning for each other.

Although the evil ghosts in the underworld are rejected by the laws of the world of the living, they still yearn for the warmth and vitality of the world of the living.

I really want to return to life!

The cultivators in the world of the living are extremely jealous of the many magical materials that can only be produced in the underworld.

In particular, many divine materials have huge benefits in improving soul cultivation.

If you refine some magical instruments and treasures that can capture or destroy souls, these divine materials and spells from the underworld will have miraculous effects.

But if yin and yang are out of order, whether the world of the living greatly erodes the world of the dead, or the world of the dead erodes the world of the living, it will inevitably cause huge disasters.

Just like the mist from the dark springs in the underworld, if it were to invade a mortal, the mortal would probably die soon.

As for the evil spirits that arrive in the world of the living along with the Nether Spring, they will cause huge disasters to the world of the living.

Today, in the mortal world, the Baiyun Temple, a pure land of immortals, seems to have been drilled with an ancient well that leads directly to the River Styx.

The water of the Styx in the "ancient well" gushed out like the Baotu Spring. In just a short period of time, the scope of erosion by the spring began to gradually expand near the Fuyun Fairy City.

Even if you use your imagination, you can tell that this matter is extremely abnormal, and it is very likely to be man-made.

Thinking of this, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but take a breath.

Whose handiwork is this?

Crazy?
Any human behavior that interferes with or destroys the yin and yang order of heaven and earth will inevitably sow huge seeds of cause and effect and bring about all kinds of disasters.

To put it bluntly, just a glance at this quiet spring might bring you endless sins.

I don’t know if I can survive the calamity of karmic fire alone.

What Zhong Lixiao had not expected was that the feeling of the world of the living being pierced and a large amount of netherworld water gushing out came again, as if that feeling had just come over him.

Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt cold all over.

It seems that there is more than one such sinful spring?
But soon, Zhong Lixiao realized that he was still too naive.

Through the underground network, Zhong Lixiao realized that this kind of hidden spring that seemed to be a disaster to the world was not only found under the jurisdiction of Baiyun Temple, but also everywhere in the world.

As time goes by, the number of these springs continues to increase.

Immediately, a name emerged in everyone's mind at the same time: Drinker!
No way, is this person so crazy?
