Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor
Chapter 202 The Power of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 202 The Power of Heaven and Earth
Wanxian City Lord’s Mansion, study.
The fragrant clouds are curling and gradually become mist.
In the clean room, Mr. Wansheng sat cross-legged, in a state of tranquility and concentration. A mysterious and obscure aura emanated from his whole body, giving people a sense of non-existence and illusion that could not be seen.
Not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes, a little surprised, but with a calm expression, and snapped his fingers.
A ray of light flew out.
“come in!”
Not long after, there was a flash of light in the house, and an old Taoist with gray hair appeared.
“Daoist Fellow Biyou, is there something wrong again?”
“That’s not true.”
Taoist Biyou looked a little strange:
“Alliance leader, someone has bought the Emperor’s Talisman.”
“If you want to buy it, buy it.”
Mr. Wansheng didn’t take it seriously: “After all, it is a legitimate inheritance of the Emperor, with the charm of an immortal, so it is definitely a treasure. As long as the price is right, it’s not surprising that someone would buy it.”
“Yes Yes Yes.”
Taoist Biyou nodded in agreement, but soon became hesitant:
“Alliance leader, you really have no idea?”
“What can I think?”
Mr. Wansheng smiled in surprise and asked:
“Why, fellow Daoist, do you think that I have set my eyes on the Emperor’s Heavenly Book and am reluctant to part with this rare item of heavenly quality for foundation building, so I am deliberately suppressing the price and secretly letting someone buy it?”
“No, no, no, how dare I have such an idea.”
Taoist Biyou smiled awkwardly and explained:
“The young man who bought the Emperor’s Heavenly Book has a background of some kind. Behind him is a top-level Yuanshen old monster, whose Taoist name is Xuanwei Zhenren. This person is extremely mysterious. Judging from the rumors about his past actions, he is a great master of thunder magic.”
“That’s what happened.”
Mr. Wansheng realized what Taoist Biyou meant and said with a smile:
“That book is called ‘The Book of Six Jia’. It is recorded in the Taoist scriptures. It is indeed the method used by the Emperor to control the Six Jia and Six Ding gods and the heavenly soldiers and generals. The dynasties in heaven change, and the closer to the origin, the less effective the talismans are. There are no loopholes to be found. Maybe this junior is interested in this kind of magic. Don’t think too much.”
“I see.”
Taoist Biyou stroked his goatee and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that his own leader would also be interested in the Emperor’s talisman, and the other party was a junior with an important background. It would be bad if he made enemies with a mysterious and powerful old monster.
After putting his worries to rest, Taoist Biyou suddenly thought of something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face:
“Oh, by the way, Alliance Leader, there is one more thing. Senior Painting Fairy just woke up. He said that fate has arrived and this time he can open a top-quality painting scroll!”
“Top quality?”
Wansheng Layman was a little surprised:
“Senior Huaxian is so generous. It seems that there are many good talents among the fellow practitioners of Miluo Palace this time.”
–
“Qingwei, I thought you found something and took advantage of it, but it turned out to be a talisman of the Emperor. You are really rich and generous, and you are a boy who gives away money. That man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks honest, but in fact he has a lot of tricks. He must be secretly happy now.”
“What the fairy said is true. This deal is too bad. The Emperor’s talisman is close to the origin of heaven and earth. It commands the universe. The heavenly soldiers and generals obey his orders. He can mobilize the power of heaven and earth with a thought. It was indeed the highest inheritance in the past. But now that the world has changed, the talisman is closer to the origin and is useless.”
“Yes, the [Six Jia and Six Ding Method] passed down by the Emperor may not be as good as the [Six Jia and Six Ding] method widely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation.”
“By the way, how much did you spend on the Heavenly Book?”
“Fifty spiritual herbs and precious medicines plus a rare item for building a human foundation.”
“Outside, the magic of refining the [Six Jia and Six Ding Gods] can easily summon twenty or thirty spiritual herbs and precious medicines. It’s a big loss.”
At the entrance of the market, a group of three people walked side by side.
Along the way, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong spoke eloquently and incessantly, harshly “criticizing” Qiu Zhen’s behavior of being taken advantage of.
“You two are right.”
Qiu Zhen smiled:
“After all, it is the Emperor’s true teaching, and it has the charm of immortals. I just happen to comprehend a little bit, so I think it won’t be a big loss.”
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong stopped talking.
He is rich and powerful, what can they say?
“Qingwei, I didn’t expect that your family background is so rich, even richer than mine.”
Fairy Yunrou came back to her senses at this moment, and looked around at Qiu Zhen with a look of surprise:
“I have been searching for immortals all year round, and I think I have accumulated a lot of wealth. But compared to you, it is nothing. Fifty spiritual herbs and precious medicines, and rare items for building a person’s character, I can take them out as soon as I say.”
Monk Zhenkong was also a little surprised:
“It turns out that I am the poorest monk, with nothing in my pocket.”
“Haha~”
Qiu Zhen smiled.
Before this, he had the opportunity and could make rapid progress by steady and solid cultivation. To be on the safe side, he seldom got involved in the affairs of the cultivation world, so he didn’t know much about the world of immortal cultivation.
Now he was attending the Ten Thousand Immortals Festival, strolling around the Xiuxian World Market, and after learning about the prices, he suddenly discovered
He seems to be quite rich.
No matter whether it is magical herbs or precious medicines, or rare items for building the foundation, they are all “hard currencies” with strong purchasing power.
And he has quite a few in his hands.
Especially the spiritual herbs and precious medicines, more than 200 in total. Few casual cultivators have such a rich fortune.
“My Baizhu has a talent for treasure hunting, and I don’t usually use precious herbs and medicines. As time goes by, the treasures are accumulating more and more, and I am a little worried.”
“This”
Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Look, this is what people say!
“Your Baishu is so powerful.”
Although Fairy Yunrou had never met Qiu Zhen, she had met Qiu Zhen and Bai Zhu in private, and a look of envy appeared on her face:
“Next time your Baizhu gives birth to a cub, give me one.”
“Ahem, Baishu is a male fox.”
“That’s even better. I’ll raise a fox demon too, and then I’ll ask you to lend me my seed.”
“Ahem~ Amitabha, fairy, why don’t you talk in private?”
“Monk, you have changed.”
–
The three of them chatted and laughed, then separated.
Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong also planned to visit the market and try their luck.
Qiu Zhen, however, lost interest.
He made two attempts today and had good harvests. He was fully focused on today’s harvest.
Not long after, Qiu Zhen took two steps at a time and quickly returned to the place prepared for him by the Wanxian League – No. 150 Yingke Lane.
The wooden doorplate was put up and the courtyard was fully opened.
Qiu Zhen went straight to the clean room in the courtyard.
He first scanned the place carefully with his spiritual consciousness, checking for any “monitoring” formations.
Afterwards, he set up a concealing magic circle to cover the meditation room, protect his privacy and prevent outsiders from peeping.
The concealing magic circle was given by Fairy Yunrou. She is an old hand and has a lot of experience in this area.
After doing all this, Qiu Zhen was still not at ease, so he pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair and threw it away.
The next moment, Xiao Zaozi appeared out of thin air in front of the yard.
“Xiao Zaozi, protect me.” “Okay!”
When Qiu Zhen saw Xiao Zaozi standing like a pine tree outside the yard, guarding the law in a serious manner, he let down his guard and casually took out two treasures from his sleeves.
A piece of worn tortoise shell and a book.
These were his two major gains today.
Speaking of which, from an outsider’s perspective, these two treasures are not bargains, at most they are good value for money.
However, for Qiu Zhen, it was like picking up a “treasure”.
There is a martial arts method in the worn-out tortoise shell, named [Xuangui Zhenjue]. In terms of power and origin, it is not as good as “Qingwei Dan Jue”, not to mention the Lu Zu Xiaoyao Jue that he comprehended.
For Qiu Zhen, what is truly valuable is the [Black Turtle Fetal Breathing Method] in “The True Secret of the Black Turtle”.
Qiu Zhen did not hesitate for long. He sank his consciousness into the tortoise shell and comprehended the “True Secret of the Black Turtle”.
About half an hour.
“What a great fetal breathing method.”
Qiu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, vaguely realizing something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Just as he guessed, the “refining essence into qi” level of practice in “Xuangui Zhen Jue” is far inferior to the thunder method of “Qingwei Dan Jue”, and there is no matching magical power.
However, the “Black Turtle Fetal Breathing Method” gave him a pleasant surprise.
Fetal breathing is the most critical step to achieve the unity of man and nature. It is the core of cultivating the truth and maintaining health, and nurturing the holy fetus. It is the link between the “root” of life and the “source” of all things, and it is the key to open the door to “longevity”.
The fetal breathing method is not only a way of practicing “refining qi into spirit”, but also a method of integrating scenery with immortals.
The introduction to the “Black Turtle Fetal Breathing Method” was of great help to him in gathering his “inner scene” and condensing his “true seed”.
Although the “Rongjing Method” in the [Black Turtle Fetal Breathing Method] is not as good as the [Demon Ape Suppressing the World Diagram], it does make up for what he needs. With a reference, he can slowly deduce the method himself later.
“Yes, this deal is not a loss.”
Qiu was really satisfied and felt that he had made the right decision to attend this gathering of immortal cultivators.
The earth-grade foundation-building item of Dan Yuanzi’s eldest disciple is extremely precious and of great use to him. It can help him deduce and comprehend his soul and Dharma body, but in the final analysis, it is not a necessity.
Right now, the fetal breathing method is much more useful to him.
Qiu Zhen was satisfied and put the tortoise shell back into the storage space of [Jade Dragon Seal]. Then his eyes fell on the immortal scripture in front of him.
The Book of Six Jias!
“As expected of a teaching from the Emperor, it is so majestic!”
Qiu Zhen immediately became interested.
In fact, he also knew that although the Emperor’s Talisman looked powerful, it was actually a “big pit”.
The tradition of talismans has declined, that is, the ancestors and great gods who were the source of each talisman technique have “disappeared”, and the talismans that once worked in every way are no longer effective.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the more advanced the “talismans” are, the less effective they are.
On the contrary, the small spells of talismans that are widely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation and are quite powerful and do not involve the origin are still effective and have their own wonderful uses.
The immortal scripture before us, which records the talismans of the Emperor and the Emperor of Heaven, is basically equivalent to a “wasted scripture”.
Qiu Zhen knew it very well and understood the pitfalls, but he still spent a huge amount of money to buy it.
The reason is simple: it is useless to others but a treasure to him.
“I was originally worried about not being able to refine any magic weapon with the Immortal Vine Spirit Root, but I didn’t expect that I would get a pillow when I fell asleep.”
Qiu Zhen sighed secretly.
At this moment, the Taoist magic weapon [Flowing Fire Golden Bell] sacrificed by Taoist Biyou emerged in his mind.
This [Flowing Fire Golden Bell] is a magic weapon refined by Taoist Biyou using Taoist methods. It can burn everything in all directions and has enormous power. Moreover, it has been passed down in an orderly manner and has a special secret method of refining the treasure.
The “Immortal Vine Spirit Root” in his hand does not have a similar “treasure refining method”.
However, correspondingly, the choice of “Immortal Vine Spirit Root” is more flexible.
It is entirely up to him to decide what kind of magic weapon he wants to refine the “Immortal Vine Spirit Root” into.
Qiu Zhen always prepares for a rainy day and started planning very early.
The spiritual roots of the immortal vine gave birth to twelve yin and yang golden beads, which are extremely consistent with the “Six Dings and Six Jias”.
The Six Dings and Six Jias were originally gods in charge of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and there were twelve of them.
The god of Dingmao is Sima Qing, the god of Dingchou is Zhao Ziren (Yu), the god of Dinghai is Zhang Wentong, the god of Dingyou is Zang Wengong, the god of Dingwei is Shi Shutong, the god of Dingsi is Cui Shi (Ju) Qing, and the six gods of Jiazi are: the god of Jiazi is Wang Wenqing, the god of Jiaxu is Zhan Zijiang, the god of Jiashen is Hu Wenchang, the god of Jiawu is Wei Shang (Wei Yu) Qing, the god of Jiachen is Meng Feiqing, and the god of Jiayin is Ming Wen Zhang.
The six Jias are Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen and Jiayin. They are yang gods and are controlled by the Emperor of Heaven. They can control wind and rain, control ghosts and gods, and help the Emperor of Heaven manage the order of heaven and earth.
The six Dings are Dingmao, Dingsi, Dingwei, Dingyou, Dinghai and Dingchou. They are Yin gods, gods that protect the body and life. They can protect the body and life, calculate the heaven and earth, and seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
The Six Dings and Six Jias are the gods of yin and yang, exactly twelve in number, which fits perfectly with the immortal vine spiritual root in his hand.
Whether it is the number or the yin and yang attributes, all aspects are consistent.
In fact, Qiu Zhen had long had the idea of refining the magic weapon [Liujia Liuding Shen], which was one of his alternatives.
At that moment, Qiu Zhen no longer hesitated, and used his primordial spirit, Dharma body, and innate magic weapon to fully activate them to comprehend the [Liujia Heavenly Book].
The next day.
“It’s a big bargain.”
Qiu Zhen put down the immortal scripture, his face full of surprise.
This time, he did not use the “Immortal Charm”.
There is not much of the immortal’s spiritual charm left, and he plans to comprehend it again when he has achieved success in his cultivation and reached a higher level.
Right now, he only relies on his understanding to comprehend the [Liujia Heavenly Book].
However, the gains were enormous.
[Liujia Liuding] is an extremely common spell in the cultivation world, especially in the ancient world of immortal cultivation, where many cultivators practice it.
However, even the [Six Jia and Six Ding] have different levels.
The most advanced [Liujia Liuding Method] is the [Liujia Liuding Gods] under the command of the Taoist Ancestor and the Emperor. It points directly to the origin, is in charge of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, controls the [Liujia Liuding], stirs up yin and yang, can interfere with the order of heaven and earth, display great supernatural powers, and can also calculate everything in the world. With just a pinch of the fingers, one can know everything big and small in the three realms.
The [Liujia Liuding] practiced by ordinary Taoists are far inferior. They are the “Talismans” passed down by their ancestors. They have limited authority and sparse power. They can usually only be used as a way to protect themselves and cannot show their power.
The [Liujia Liuding] magic in today’s world of immortal cultivation has even degenerated into a technique of “controlling ghosts”. The so-called “Liujia Liuding” are nothing but ghosts, all in appearance, without much power at all.
But Qiu is really different.
He possesses the “Immortal Vine Spirit Root”.
The immortal vine is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, transformed from the origin of heaven and earth of this world. If he uses the “Yin Yang Golden Beads” bred by the immortal vine as the “Six Jia and Six Ding Gods”, to a certain extent, the [Six Jia and Six Ding Gods] he has refined are at the same level as the Taoist Ancestor and the Emperor – pointing directly to the origin.
Of course, he is definitely inferior to the Emperor in many ways.
The Emperor of Heaven’s [Six Jia and Six Ding] point directly to the origin of the Three Realms, and the [Yin Yang Golden Beads] bred by the immortal vine are transformed from the origin of this world.
At present, in addition to the Emperor’s talismans, this [Liujia Heavenly Book] also contains the explanation of the Yin-Yang Gods [Liujia Liuding] interfering with the original power.
“I’ve made a fortune. I’m sure I’ll gain more from understanding the charm of immortals.”
This is a real bargain. I got the [Liujia Heavenly Book], which gives me a reliable alternative for refining magic weapons in the future.
Qiu Zhen was very satisfied.
After stretching his body, Qiu Zhen planned to contact Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong to see what the two had gained.
However, just as he took out the [Miro Palace] token, Xiao Zaozi outside the courtyard shouted:
“Sir, someone is looking for you outside the courtyard. They said they have uncovered your bounty and are asking to see you outside the courtyard.”
