Chapter 37: Eight Thousand Miles of Zizhu Cliff Mountain, Three or Five Friends Drinking Tea and Discussing Taoism
“How about asking fellow Daoist Wenren?”

Ning Xunqiu had an idea.

Leaving Qingshan Tiandi, we return to the small courtyard in Zizhu Mountain.

“Cuckoo.”

At this moment, a red spirit dove flew from the tree, landed on Ning Xunqiu’s shoulder and made a sound.

“Purple Bamboo Mountain Meeting? Bailing is back?”

Ning Xunqiu’s heart moved.

“The Qingsong Pill has finally been found.”

Zizhu Mountain Club.

On a protruding stone cliff on the hillside, there grows a thousand-year-old tree.

There was a stone table and several stone benches under the tree, with a pot of tea and several teacups on them.

Wen Renhong and the panda Kong Mingzi were making tea and chatting. Next to them, there was a monkey squatting on a stone bench, eating peaches and fruits out of boredom.

Ning Xunqiu, dressed in a green robe, came flying in the air and bowed, saying, “Greetings to fellow Daoist Wenren, fellow Daoist Kongmingzi, and little monkey.”

“Daoyou Qingyun is here, please take a seat.” Wen Renhong and Panda Kong Mingzi responded with a smile and a bow.

[Qingyun] is the Taoist name Ning Xunqiu took in Zizhu Mountain.

Time reveals a person’s true character. In seven years, they have seen enough of Ning Xunqiu’s character: a “nerd” Qigong practitioner who loves alchemy and knows a little bit about everything.

Of course, I also have a bad habit – collecting!!
“Sir, sir, eat peaches, eat peaches.”

When the monkey saw Ning Xunqiu, he immediately smiled and came forward with a big peach in both hands to show his courtesy.

“Okay.” Ning Xunqiu took it naturally and took a bite of the peach.

After seven years of getting along, the two have become both teachers and friends, and are no longer as polite and unfamiliar as before.

“hey-hey.”

The monkey practiced the “Chapter of Seven Orifices of Chaos” and opened seven orifices. With the addition of the alien spiritual orifice, he obtained a human-shaped soul. His cultivation speed was much faster than that of the aliens in Zizhu Mountain.

Ning Xunqiu did not talk much about this matter, but sat down with a cup of tea and chatted with Wen Renhong, and then asked how a Qigong practitioner could give birth to offspring. He had heard that it was only when the Purple Bamboo Demon Master was 800 years old that he gave birth to Wen Renhong.

Wen Renhong looked at him strangely, and did not hide it:

“It is indeed difficult for Qigong practitioners to conceive offspring. My master also found a medium-grade spiritual medicine [Cratagram] for my mother to swallow and refine, and only then did I come into being.”

“In addition, there are also low-grade spiritual medicines [Jade Dew Condensed Fragrance Seeds], [Earth Vein Purple Jade Lotus], [Earth Treasures Containing Spiritual Flowers]… These are also acceptable.”

Wen Renhong also mentioned several rare and precious elixirs.

Ning Xunqiu wrote them down one by one in his mind.

Qigong practitioners divide the great medicines of heaven and earth into four categories: precious medicines, spiritual objects, spiritual medicines, and spiritual roots, which are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.

Precious medicine: inferior herbal medicine, hundred-year-old, thousand-year-old, or ten-thousand-year-old trees have not given birth to any spiritual things.

Spiritual object: A spiritual object or spiritual energy is born.

Spiritual medicine: Complete spiritual charm, incredible wonder, the top-grade spiritual stone “Xuanlongzhu” is considered a top-grade spiritual medicine.

Spiritual Root: With this, one can forge an innate spiritual body, which is the greatest treasure of heaven and earth.

The elixir is of the third grade and is extremely precious.

He changed his life and needs to find out more.

“Qingyun!!”

At this moment, a large dove with a colorful tail soared from the clouds. It turned lightly in the air and turned into a petite girl in colorful feathers. She excitedly pounced towards Ning Xunqiu.

“I found it! Gu! I found the evergreen pine branch, and… the wisp of white cloud air you wanted.” She came up and took credit for it.

The person who came was Bai Ling from the Spirit Pigeon Valley. Although she looked like a little loli, she was actually a spirit transformed from a colorful spirit pigeon. She was five hundred years old and had three hundred years of profound Taoism experience. She was the earliest creature born in Zizhu Mountain.

Older than Panda Sora Akiko.

Bai Ling is proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, but not good at fighting. Both the man and the pigeon like to hoard treasures and share what they have with each other. They and Ning Xunqiu have the same ideals, and they often discuss philosophy and have a close relationship.

“Thank you, Brother Bailing.”

Ning Xunqiu gently put down the excited lark and took the green pine branch and the transparent jade bottle she handed over, in which there was a “white cloud” that looked like a fish swimming.

This is a newborn cloud spirit. Its spirituality has just been born, so it cannot be used to practice the “art of flying in the clouds and riding objects”. It needs to be nurtured for thousands of years to grow stronger.

But the spirituality in it was enough for Ning Xunqiu to confer the title of the Original Spirit of Qingshan Heaven and Earth on it.

Bai Ling took out a small cloth bag from her feather coat, “There are thirty Dust Removing Pills in here…”

Ning Xunqiu smiled slightly and waved his hand, “These Dust Removal Pills will be used as a reward for you, fellow Taoist.”

After hearing this, Bai Ling did not hesitate to accept it, then turned around, gestured excitedly, and let out a cheerful cry.

“Coo-coo-yeah!”

She knew on the first day that Brother Qingyun was the most generous and magnanimous!

Ning Xunqiu chuckled.

If you know one Qigong practitioner, you can know countless Qigong practitioners.

After he built his hut, the spirits from Zizhu Mountain came to visit him.

The panda sent a set of formations to prevent wild beasts from breaking in, the lark sent three [Blue Sea Spirit Dates], and the black bull sent a jar of [Hundred Fruit Wine]. You can ask him for free to help you refine weapons, but you need to prepare your own materials.

Carp Biji sent a spring and an old tea tree, Wenrenhong sent a spiritual material [hundred-year-old purple wood]. The monkeys brought various fruits and tables and chairs.

He also gave a bottle of “Dust Removing Pill” to each of the six successful practitioners in Zizhu Mountain. The atmosphere in the mountain was harmonious, without so many intrigues and struggles, and he felt very comfortable getting along with the Zizhu creatures.

Ning Xunqiu felt that it was the right decision to come to Zizhu Mountain.

Wen Renhong was looking at the green pine tree branches, and her heart moved. She couldn’t help but say: “Daoyou Qingyun, if this ‘Green Pine Pill’ is practiced, I wonder…”

“I can exchange it for spiritual objects.”

Ning Xunqiu never refused any spiritual objects. “As for the extra Qingsong Pills, the ones from Zizhu Mountain will naturally be given priority.”

“My fellow Taoists, if you bring your own elixir recipes and spiritual herbs, you can come to me to refine them. I won’t charge you any reward.” He added that if spiritual herbs and herbs could enter the “Green Mountain World”, he could give them for free if he had the “Moonlight Nectar”.

As for other Qigong practitioners, there are three things they don’t practice.

If you don’t prepare two spiritual objects, you won’t be able to practice.

Without 30,000 kilograms of gold, no refining will be done.

I need a second elixir, but I won’t make it.

You still have to queue.

Panda Kongmingzi asked: “Daoist Qingyun, give me a ‘Xuanyuan Kongming Pill’…”

Ning Xunqiu was slightly startled, but on the surface he remained calm: “Hey, fellow Daoist, don’t worry. I have made a breakthrough in my cultivation recently and need to stabilize it. Give me another three to five years – the Xuanyuan Kongming Pill will be successful!”

“Of course, Qingyun is a master of alchemy!” Bailing said with admiration.

Ning Xunqiu just smiled politely.

Bai Ling has been away from home for the past few years, and everyone has been telling people how great he is at making pills. Some Qigong practitioners have also come to Zizhu Mountain to find him with pill recipes, but most of them are simpler than the “Dust-Removing Pill”. He would only succeed once after refining the pill dozens of times.

As for telling the outside world, of course it will only take one time.

Not worth mentioning.

Feng Qingyundan has the air of a master alchemist who can make any elixir with ease. His reputation is well-known and is a golden signboard that can better attract casual practitioners.

then……

Got a weird achievement.

[Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the blue achievement “A master alchemist who is close to the Tao”: Your alchemy will be successful in one try. The cultivators of Zizhu Mountain and Donghai believe that you are a master alchemist who is “close to the Tao”.

But in fact, behind the scenes, you are just a novice in alchemy who has gained fame by sheer numbers.

If you don’t want to be disgraced, please work harder in secret!
Obtained the fire control and pill condensation technique, ten years of experience (already received)]

……

soon.

Niu Da and Carp Brigitte arrived one after another.

As everyone arrived, they began to sit around the stone table, brewing tea, discussing Taoism, and sharing their respective experiences in cultivation. Most of the time, it was Wen Renhong who did the talking, while the other six people listened attentively.

As the afterglow of the setting sun fills the sky.

The panda Kong Mingzi gently stroked the guqin, and the melodious sound touched Wen Renhong’s heartstrings, and she immediately drew her sword and began to dance. Soon, the carp Biji danced with Wen Renhong in the water, and the water rippled with her dance steps.

The lark transforms into a colorful spirit pigeon and resonates with the group of pigeons.

Her clear and melodious singing voice blended perfectly with the sound of the piano and the sword dance, weaving into a symphony between heaven and earth that made everything else pale in comparison.

The song and dance ended.

Ning Xunqiu, Monkey, and Niu Da were still immersed in the wonderful afterglow, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. Finally, they smiled at each other and cheered in unison.

Afterwards, they sat together, tasting the spiritual food and listening to “Bai Ling” telling interesting stories about Qigong practitioners she met outside, so as to increase their experience.

Laughter and joyful cheers could be heard from Yashan from time to time.

……

Green mountains and heaven and earth.

Ning Xunqiu planted evergreen pine branches on the mountain peak, and named “a wisp of white cloud” as a cloud spirit, and released it.

It dances lightly in the air, and in a flash turns into a nimble fish, swimming freely in the blue sky.

“Woo——”

A long cry echoed through the green mountains and the world, filled with uncontrollable excitement.

“I have decided to practice in Zizhu Mountain and not go out for three hundred years. Why… is the three hundred years of death in the Tianyan Book still there? Why does it affect such a wide range of people?”

“I am a master of weapons who possesses divine weapons. I have never fought with anyone, so how could I die here?”

“what exactly is it?”

Ning Xunqiu’s expression changed slightly. He opened the Tianyan Book and picked up the pen to write the last paragraph.

[I continue to practice diligently in Zizhu Mountain, refining elixirs to exchange resources with the Qigong practitioners in the East China Sea. I ask Bailing to collect information about spiritual objects and spiritual medicines.]

[Do you want to use ten points of luck to rewrite this life? ]

“rewrite.”
