I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 999 Departure
As soon as Li Ming finished speaking, a green light appeared in the alchemy furnace, and a bright elixir was suspended in the air like a pearl. It was only the size of a pearl and did not have the rich fragrance of elixir, but Gu Song felt much more relaxed when he saw it, not to mention the Taoist master Xu Ling, whose eyes were wide open. He had lived for more than a hundred years in vain and had never seen such a miraculous elixir.

"Master, is this done?" Bai Ri asked confusedly.

Xu Ling smiled awkwardly and said, "It should be. It should be refined."

Li Ming then continued, "This pill is only one revolution, also known as one return. This is because the recipe itself is not very advanced. It is sufficient at this level. It can cure all poisons and replenish vital energy. If more spiritual herbs can be obtained and refined again, the potency of this medicine can be further increased. However, there is no need for that. According to legend, the founder of Taoism has a gourd of nine-revolution golden pills. Just one pill can make a person ascend to heaven in broad daylight. It is the highest achievement of alchemy and makes people yearn for it!"

"It's just that we cultivators, born between heaven and earth, if we only focus on cultivation, levying heavy taxes and accumulating wealth, and devouring the sea and the sea, we will invisibly form a cause and effect relationship with heaven and earth. This is what is called insufficient external gong, which means you owe heaven and earth but have not repaid it. Some cultivators are not satisfied with just absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, and they also exhaust the creation, searching mountains and rivers, and collecting various spiritual herbs planted by the creation between heaven and earth. In the process, I don't know how many people they offend, just to finally achieve a furnace of elixir. It seems to save time and improve Taoism, but it falls behind in other aspects."

Gusong heard Li Ming's explanation from the side. He understood some of the things, but had never heard of other concepts before. He was deeply touched after listening to it, and had an expression of confusion on his face. On the other hand, Bai Ri and the Taoist Xu Ling were full of curiosity. Although they didn't understand, they looked shocked, which was quite interesting.

Seeing this, Li Ming didn't hide anything and told them everything, saying with a smile: "When you sacrifice a furnace of elixirs, you lose the spiritual medicines that are beloved by heaven and earth, and waste the opportunities of all living beings. Therefore, you are envied by heaven and earth and waste your external energy and luck. We, the orthodox Xuanmen, open the furnace to refine elixirs. We either use external energy to offset the loss or endure external disasters..."

"In fact, I often wonder why doing good deeds brings good merit, while doing bad deeds brings bad consequences. Who determines good and evil? What is merit, and what is karma?"

"Thinking over it, we are born between heaven and earth. Could it be that under the laws of heaven, all things are not equal? ​​Isn't this so-called principle determined by human nature?"

"The true will of heaven is to create, not destroy. Therefore, we must follow the virtue of heaven and earth, follow the way of creation, and draw the spirit of all things to create heaven and earth. By taking from heaven and earth and using it for heaven and earth, we will not be limited by disasters, but will receive feedback from heaven and earth."

As Li Ming finished speaking, a thunder suddenly struck in the sky.

Boom!

The thunder came strangely, without a beginning or an end, which was really weird. For some reason, Li Ming suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He laughed and looked up at the sky. He knew that it would be fine if he had understood it, but today it was said so loudly. This was a warning.

"Huh? Weird?"

Gusong, Xuling and the others also looked up and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside with only a gentle breeze blowing. There was no sign of dark clouds at all. They looked at each other in confusion.

"Why did the thunder come for no reason?"

Li Ming just smiled. Now he understood more and understood the context behind it. He knew that the thunder would definitely not strike him. He just pretended to be alert and then spoke in a deep voice.

"It seems that I can only say this much." Then Li Ming stopped talking about the destiny of heaven and earth, merit and karma, and instead talked about the method of refining the elixir. It seemed like refining the elixir, but in fact it was an alchemy term referring to the golden elixir. After listening to a few words, Gusong could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, and burst into tears.

"If I had listened to you earlier, my path to cultivation would have been smooth sailing. Unfortunately, it's too late, too late!!!"

Li Ming smiled upon seeing this and said, "This is also the law of fate for each person. Don't worry, my friend. Everything has its own destiny."

Although Taoist Xu Ling listened to it, he lacked talent and comprehension, and he didn't know how much he remembered in his confusion. He just regarded it as an alchemy technique and was still thinking about how to make the elixir, so he asked.

"Although your alchemy skills are brilliant, if, as you say, refining elixirs is actually a debt to heaven and earth, then wouldn't it be that I, a cultivator of the Dao, am missing the point when refining elixirs, and losing the big picture for the sake of the small? Why did the Dao Ancestor create this alchemy technique?"

Li Ming laughed and said, "Excellent question! Since this method was created by the Taoist Ancestor, it certainly wouldn't be so superficial. There must be other methods that can avoid disasters and even create good fortune through the elixir! So my method of refining the elixir is not to scare you. As long as you understand the secret, take the herbs, and return more good fortune to heaven and earth, you can accumulate external power just by refining the elixir. Come and see!"

Say something and come and see!
Li Ming pointed his finger, and a strange light appeared in the furnace. Dozens of light balls flew out of the furnace. Li Ming said with a smile.

"If I could only make this one elixir, I wouldn't be able to show off my abilities. These are all the remaining medicinal ingredients that have been combined and each has its own unique uses. Although they are not very useful to us cultivators, they are enough for other uses!"

As he spoke, Li Ming crushed the remaining pills and turned them into a large number of light spots. Li Ming waved his hand and released his magic power, using a ray of water-attributed divine light that he had cultivated to transform the medicinal power of the pills into it, sending it under the earth veins and into the air. The clouds in the sky were affected by this magic power and immediately a light rain fell that covered the surroundings. The rain came quickly and went away even faster. In just a short while, the sky cleared up and a rainbow even rose above Qingling Temple!
Li Ming then said, "In this way, we can use the power of these residual pills to nourish the earth veins and return them to the heaven and earth. The plants will grow and the cause and effect of the debt will naturally be eliminated."

He had realized this a long time ago. When he was practicing in Gantian Town, Li Ming adjusted the earth veins, absorbed and exhaled spiritual energy, and turned the evil land into a good one. He also had more merits when he formed the elixir. Even on the Black Dragon Island, he arranged formations to increase his fortune. Only in this way could he not owe the heaven and earth!
Li Ming then stood up and said, "How much you can realize depends entirely on your fate. This is all I can do."

Then he bowed to the two of them and went to Li Tianyun's room to feed him the green pill he had just made. Li Tianyun recuperated for another five or six days and finally recovered. Originally, Gusong wanted him to recuperate for two more days, but he could no longer hold back and urged the two of them to set off quickly.

Before leaving, Li Ming took a Taoist book and placed it at the entrance of Qingling Temple which was under reconstruction, and said to the Taoist master Xu Ling who came to see him off.

"Thank you for your hospitality these past few days, Master. Please take this Dao Sutra back and read it."

When Taoist Xu Ling picked it up and took a look, he found that this technique could be cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, a realm that his broken inheritance could never reach in his lifetime. He shed two lines of tears without realizing it, and when he raised his head again, there was no trace of the three of them in front of him!
