Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 244 Fate
Veins like leaf veins appear on the liver, like blooming green flowers.

In the heart, gold and orange merge into one, and flame patterns appear on the surface.

The light of Gui water nourishes the kidneys, and faint cloud patterns spread.

The brilliance of Ji Earth reflects on the spleen, presenting veins like a sea of ​​sand.

The sun's trajectory changed, Ji An finished his training and opened his eyes.

A strange vision appeared in his pupils. A giant tree grew vigorously, and then thunder from the sky burned it to ashes, and then it turned into mud in an instant.

The vision slowly faded away, and the sun was reflected in his eyes.

What is wood? Is it a plant?
No, plants are wood, but they are not wood.

Wood is a kind of Qi, a Qi of vigorous growth, a Qi of latent vitality. It is flowing and has never been confined to plants.

Ji An frowned and pondered for a long time. He felt that he had a vague grasp of more things.

The so-called mutual generation of the five elements should refer to transformation, from one form to another.

For example, if you pour pine nut wine into Qingling bamboo, the wine will be nourished by the wood qi and become more fiery.

During this transformation process, Lingzhu has been outputting.

After this realization, the world in his eyes seemed to become different.

Chaoyang Peak, Wuji Hall, and the sky-blue glazed tiles sparkle in the sun.

Ji An piloted the shuttle slowly down, the sun shining from behind him, leaving a shadow on the ground.

He stepped into the hall and saw a semicircular white jade platform more than three feet high built against the wall on the northernmost side.

There are many cushions scattered around the platform, including white cushions woven from calming grass and light yellow cushions woven from peace of mind grass.

Many monks have arrived, sitting together in groups of three or four, talking in low voices, about thirty people in total.

Ji An glanced around and found several familiar faces, including Mo Shan, Teng Zhiyuan, Li Yuangong, Liu Suyun and others.

He walked over to say hello, then returned to the person he was most familiar with, grabbed a cushion and sat down.

"Brother, sister, you are here so early.

Senior Brother Liu, when did you return to the sect?

Three days ago, he received a message from the Golden Sword, saying that a lecture would be held at the end of Chenshi today. Now, there was still half an hour before Chenshi, but he did not expect that so many people had already arrived.

Liu Yu went to Mingfeng Mountain a few days ago and actually came back while he was giving a lecture.

"I returned yesterday on a spiritual boat. During the time that Hall Master Lin was giving a lecture, I calculated how the disciples who were on missions outside could rush back."

Liu Yu was a little excited. The cultivator who was giving the lecture was Lin Jiuxiao, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. He practiced the fire-based technique, which would definitely be very helpful to him.

Zhong Yuefei whispered:

"I've come to Wuji Hall to listen to lectures more than ten times. The techniques taught by the uncle-in-law are either fire-based, gold-based, or earth-based. I always feel like I haven't benefited much."

She was quite distressed. It seemed that there was no uncle in the sect who practiced the wood-type technique, so it was not easy for her to learn by analogy.

Ji An smiled and said:

“These are the most popular cultivation methods among the sect’s foundation-building disciples. Therefore, more cultivators who practice these methods break through to the Chaoyuan stage.

I heard that the Chaoyuan-stage cultivators cultivate the Five Elements. Perhaps the uncle who taught the method before had not yet reached the realm of the Five Elements' endless vitality, so he could not explain the mysteries of the Wood Element's method. "

He paused and asked:
"Senior Sister Ge isn't coming to the lecture?"

Master, Senior Brother Ye Changqing and others do not expect to make further progress in their cultivation, so it is understandable that they do not come to Wuji Palace, but Ge Luoying has the hope of breaking through to the Chaoyuan period, so it is unacceptable for him not to come.

"Senior Sister Ge is a disciple of Senior Uncle Lin Qiubai from Yingyue Peak. She often receives instructions from her master and rarely attends lectures unless the time is right."

Zhong Yuefei sighed and said that since she had a master who could give her targeted guidance on cultivation, she really didn't need to come here to listen to his lectures.

While they were talking, more monks came in one after another. Ji An looked around and said:
"Sister, when I first entered the sect, I went to the Wen Dao Hall to listen to lectures. The one who gave the lecture was Brother Qin Yan.

I heard that he had already completed the ninth level of foundation building. How is this senior brother doing now?"

The environment here reminded him of the past.

"Now we should call him Uncle Qin. He broke through the Chao Yuan stage twenty years ago."

Zhong Yuefei's voice lowered a few notches, "Master Qin is a legendary cultivator of the sect, practicing with low-grade qualifications.

Normally speaking, one cannot join the sect with inferior qualifications. It is said that he was allowed to join the sect only because of the influence of his ancestors.

He started as a spiritual farmer and worked his way up step by step, becoming the only non-A-class disciple to break through to the Chaoyuan stage in the past few hundred years."

There was a lot of admiration in her words, and this kind of story is the most inspiring.

Ji An listened with great interest. He certainly understood the difficulty of practicing with low-level qualifications.

Because the stone turtle devoured magic power, his qualifications were equivalent to those of the lower grade.

Fortunately, his aptitude can be gradually improved with the improvement of his cultivation level, and the amount of stone turtle swallowed has decreased after breaking through the foundation-building stage. Otherwise, he would not be able to break through to the late foundation-building stage now.

"Uncle Qin is a man of great fortune, and he must have received a great opportunity."

It was noon, and Lin Jiuxiao, dressed in a dark Taoist robe, stepped into the hall. His face was serious and angular, and he looked intimidating without even being angry.

A red cloud of fire appeared under his feet, transformed into a wind tiger, and lifted him up to the platform.

"I, Lin Jiuxiao, will explain to you today the path of cultivation in the late Foundation Establishment stage. I will also share some of my experiences in breaking through to the Chaoyuan stage."

"The techniques you all practice are different, such as the Fiery Sun Furnace Scroll, the Scarlet Fire Danxia Technique, the Kunyu Microdust Sutra, the Green Wood Eternal Spring Technique, and so on. These techniques are all derived from our sect's Five Elements Wheel Sutra."

"This technique directly leads to the great path of the Golden Elixir. Even in the most prosperous place in the world of immortal cultivation, Central Continent, it is still a very good technique."

"I am in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and I am practicing the Fiery Sun Furnace Scroll. I will explain this technique."

Zhong Yuefei smiled bitterly in her heart and shook her head imperceptibly.

"It's all in vain. It's too difficult for a disciple like me who practices the Wood Element Kung Fu."

Ji An listened with great interest. A cultivator who practices this technique can absorb the spiritual energy of Fire and at the same time absorb the spiritual energy of Wood to strengthen the fire. If he absorbs some spiritual energy of Water to suppress fire, it will also be beneficial.

Lin Jiuxiao explained in detail the path of cultivation of the Fiery Furnace Scroll, and also talked about the path of earth and the path of gold.

"I am currently at the fourth level of Chao Yuan. I have only recently started practicing the Water Path, and even less so the Wood Path. I am unable to provide guidance to disciples who are practicing these two techniques."

"Next, I will explain how to break through the Chaoyuan stage. When a cultivator's comprehension of the divine will of the technique reaches a certain level, he will be exposed to the changes of yin and yang in the technique.

What are Yin and Yang? All things originate from Taiyi and are transformed by Yin and Yang.

When heaven and earth are in harmony, all things come into being; when yin and yang connect, changes begin.

In the simplest terms, yin and yang are the two energies of clear and turbid energy.”

"Take the Fire Element Kung Fu as an example. Bing Fire is Yang, Ding Fire is Yin. Only when Bing and Ding are in harmony can the Fire Element Kung Fu be complete.

After understanding the great way, we can capture the light of life hidden deep in our bodies from the flow and transformation between Bing and Ding.

Then continue to cultivate this innate light of life, allowing it to grow stronger and stronger until its brilliance can be manifested at all times.

Finally, with the help of Peiyuan Dan, the light of life is ignited and transformed into the fire of life."

“Ignite does not mean burning, but rather a state of being so profound that it cannot be expressed in words.

When you have achieved enough merit, you will naturally understand."

Ji An scratched his head. By the end of this explanation, it had morphed into "those who understand will understand." He began to ponder. According to this theory, if one could fully grasp the flow and transformation of Jia and Yi wood, one could capture the innate light of life.

He can try it after he gets back.

Lin Jiuxiao's voice rang out again, "If you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask."

Many cultivators asked questions, and Liu Yu also asked several questions.

Ji An didn't ask, because the other party had already made it clear that he could not help the cultivators who practiced the Wood Element Kung Fu at the moment.

He and Zhong Yuefei looked at each other and noticed the disappointment deep in each other's eyes.

"Junior brother, I don't plan to come to listen to the uncles' teachings anymore, unless the ancestor comes to teach."

Zhong Yuefei transmitted the message and let out a long breath.

After the lecture, Lin Jiuxiao left Wuji Palace.

Teng Zhiyuan jumped onto the platform:
"My fellow brothers and sisters, as is customary, we will hold a trade fair. I will throw out some ideas first."

As he spoke, he took out a magic sword that emitted a golden-red light, with seven white stars arranged on it.

"This spiritual weapon is made of purple-gold copper and meteorite iron, with thirty-six spiritual restrictions superimposed on it. It has also been nurtured for many days with the golden leaves of the second-level Xuanye Sword Bamboo.

Whether it is a cultivator practicing the Gold Element or the Fire Element, it has extremely strong killing power."

He poured his magic power into the magic sword, and the magic weapon flew around his body, emitting red light and a murderous edge.

"Spiritual weapons can be exchanged for second-level refining materials, or for late-stage foundation-building elixirs suitable for practicing fire-based techniques. Are there any brothers interested?"

He shouted a few times, but when no one answered, he shook his head slightly and jumped off the platform.

The monks came on stage in an orderly manner, and Ji An watched with great interest.

The items that everyone brought out for trading were all of considerable value, including spiritual weapons, second-level materials, high-level spiritual medicines, etc., which dazzled the onlookers.

He didn't come across anything that he desperately wanted to own, so he never made a move.

After the trade fair, Ji An found Teng Zhiyuan and asked:
"Brother, if I want to buy the sword-type spiritual weapon in your hand, how many kilograms of second-level gold leaves can I exchange for it?"

The only spiritual objects he could produce that would interest the weapon refiners were the leaves of the Black-Leaf Sword Bamboo and some weapon refining materials.

"Junior brother, you'll need about 240 to 250 kilograms of gold leaves."

Ji An grinned and said with a wry smile:

"I'm afraid it will take many years to collect enough gold leaves. This treasure is out of my reach."

He did not have an urgent need for an offensive spiritual weapon, so he was not in a hurry to purchase one.

Teng Zhiyuan smiled back:
“Junior brother, you are staying safely in the sect, and you don’t have many opportunities to use this kind of spiritual weapon.

If you have a defensive spiritual weapon to protect you, you don't need this kind of spiritual weapon."

He had inquired about the other party's situation and had a good impression of this junior brother who owned a sacred peak and devoted himself to planting.

All the most basic producers deserve respect, not to mention that this producer can continuously provide support to the weapon refiner!
The two talked for a few words and Teng Zhiyuan left first.

Liu Yu came over and said:

“Junior brother, I will be leaving the sect tomorrow and need to rush to Mingfeng Mountain as soon as possible.

More and more demonic beasts are attacking the Immortal City, and the monks in the Law Enforcement Hall are very busy."

Ji An frowned slightly and said:

"Why not use those independent cultivators?"

The role of casual cultivators is not

"Hey, now is not the time.

When the demonic disaster breaks out completely, that will be the time for independent cultivators to play a role."

After the demon disaster breaks out completely, the stage of demon beasts besieging the city begins. Even if the independent cultivators don't want to, they have to fight to the death.

At this stage, the three sects never force independent cultivators to go out and fight on the front lines of battle.

"Doesn't the sect's spirit boat make a round trip once a month?"

"The battle is intense, and now the spirit boat makes two trips back and forth every month."

After returning from Wuji Palace, Ji An had an additional lesson: to take time out every day to feel the flow and changes between Jia and Yi wood.

He had already comprehended the complete way of the Wood Element and originally thought that it would not be difficult. However, after several months of contemplation, he still could not find the right method.

On this day, Ji An finished his training and practiced Qingmu Changchun Gong in a special way as usual. This was a secret method recorded in the exercises, specifically used to capture the light of life.

The secret technique can only be used by cultivators at the ninth level of foundation building, because most cultivators can only glimpse the divine intention of the technique at this time.

If one's realm is not high enough and one's comprehension of the divine intention of the technique is not deep, it is impossible to capture the light of life.

There is no shortcut to this, and no pill can help.

In a sense, this is the most difficult hurdle for a cultivator to break through the Chaoyuan period.

There is always a way to obtain Peiyuan Dan. If you capture the light of life and cultivate it to become stronger, no amount of Peiyuan Dan will help.

The secret method has no effect in increasing one's cultivation level. When practicing the secret method, it does not absorb or release spiritual energy from the outside world. What it does is seek within.

As the secret technique was put into operation, magic power surged out from the dantian, flowed through the immortal veins, and a vigorous aura emanated from the inside out.

Inside the acupoint, ten Tao seeds were shining.

The light green magic power gradually turned yellow, like the green grass in late autumn, and a faint sense of death and silence filled the air.

Ji An's body exuded the smell of rotten wood.

The flow of magic power became more and more hurried, like an old man entering old age.

Suddenly, he heard a mysterious voice coming from the void, and the withered magic power had a hint of green.

The flow of magic power gradually accelerated, and the green color became stronger and stronger.

When the vigorous breath of life reaches its peak, the green color also reaches its richest.

Like a cycle, the green color gradually fades and becomes lighter and lighter.

When the green color completely disappeared and turned yellow, Ji An noticed a faint silver light flowing between his kidneys, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

'found it! ’

He was delighted, and his emotions couldn't help but fluctuate a little.

That ray of light disappeared in an instant like a frightened bird.

Ji An opened his eyes, without any regret in his eyes, and laughed out loud.

The fact that he could glimpse the light of life showed that he had reached the standard of understanding the divine will of the technique. Next, he only needed to practice the secret technique step by step to strengthen the light of life.

The growth of life light requires long-term hard work. If a cultivator wants to polish it to the point where it meets the conditions for a breakthrough, it will take at least ten to twenty years of hard work.

He has just reached the seventh level of foundation building, which means that he can polish his life light to be smooth and radiant before completing his foundation building.
