Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 224 Changes

"When it stops, it stops; when it moves, it moves; if movement and stillness do not lose their time, my way will be bright."

After Bai Zichen murmured these words, the sound of yellow bells and song Dalu were heard.

 It does not come from the outside world, nor does it sound in the heart.

There was a mysterious sound coming from somewhere, and every sound made his mind clear and the road ahead bright and clear.

Without anyone telling him, he can clearly know that this is his own alchemy, an alchemy that is consistent with himself and points the way.

“I don’t know what other people’s alchemy theories are like. If you take the path of killing or fire, maybe it will be easier when you come into contact with the true meaning of the avenue in the future?”

There are not many real people who form alchemy in Qingfeng Sect, only one or two in each generation.

Those who can generate elixir theory and understand the path before elixir formation are even rarer. In the past five hundred years, there are only two such as Zhenren Ge Cang and Wei Dao.

Of course after today, another name was added to the list.

Perfect elixir formation is originally a further requirement of the Yuanying Sect for the most outstanding core disciples.

 Because the number is limited, everyone’s experience does not have broad applicability.

Only Master Ge Cang would carefully choose the recipients based on his experience in forming pills, for fear that the disciples of the younger generation would go astray and waste precious time.

Only those super sects with orderly inheritance and tens of thousands of years of history have accumulated talented disciples from generation to generation.

 With enough successful examples, we can classify and summarize them.

 Give effective guidance to the core disciples of the younger generation when they try to form elixirs perfectly and form elixirs.

 Huang Zhongda and Lu Xuanyin stopped. Bai Zichen not only cleared away the dust in his mind, but also clarified the future path. Unexpectedly, he found that his spiritual consciousness had greatly increased.

“It’s no wonder that those who achieve elixir attainment rarely fall before the elixir-formation test… A boost in spiritual consciousness will be of great benefit when relying on one’s spiritual consciousness.”

There are several small boats in the lake, scattering fish fry. This is a new task assigned by the General Affairs Office this year.

 Put a large number of first-order fish fry with delicious meat and extremely fast growth into Feiyue Lake.

 It can be caught after the next year and becomes a spiritual meal on the table of the disciples of the sect.

There is a fat, black-skinned man standing on the bow of a Wupeng boat, directing other disciples to scatter the fish fry.

 It is Tong Huan, whom he has not seen for seven years, who has reached the ninth level of Qi refining.

 It seems that Bai Zichen's teachings have been missing in these years, but his cultivation has not fallen behind at all.

The consciousness spread outwards, and a silver-white carp was swimming happily in the lake.

The silver-white carp is fat and nearly as tall as a human being, with two long whiskers sprouting from its lips.

It is a second-level middle-grade water beast with a small amount of dragon blood, and it is transforming into a dragon carp.

“There are quite a few monsters with dragon blood in Feiyue Lake…”

As if he felt the prying eyes of Bai Zichen's consciousness, the silver-white carp, which had been happily devouring fish and shrimps, stood up, looked around cautiously, and immediately dived to the bottom of the lake.

 It burrowed back and forth twice among the dense water plants and then disappeared.

Taking a step further, his spiritual consciousness caught a glimpse of a mountain-like dragon turtle from afar. It looked like a lantern in the darkness in the lake, exuding an astonishingly vast energy and blood, and was extremely conspicuous.

“The purity of Old Turtle’s dragon blood should have improved a bit, and it’s not much different from that of a third-level monster…”

Bai Zichen felt that the range of his divine consciousness had reached its limit, so he took back Tenglong's divine consciousness.

 The upper limit of the range of spiritual consciousness has reached five hundred feet.

“In this way, the path before forming the elixir can be said to be smooth for me, and there are no difficulties to overcome...even the drop of pure spirit chalcedony can be used in time, and there is no need to hand it over to the sect or exchange it with others.”

 Originally, it would take two or three years for self-assessment to reach the peak of the later stage of foundation building.

But once the elixir theory was completed, he had a clear understanding that it would take fifteen months to have the best spiritual stone to help him.

 The time used is even accurate to the month.

That drop of Qingling Chalcedony obtained from Mo Changzhi still has more than ten years before it expires, which is enough for him to reach the final step of impacting the pill formation.

And Bai Zichen doesn't have to spend a lot of time accumulating mana and buying boundary-breaking elixirs to attack bottlenecks. He can finally find time to pick up what he dropped.

"I will first master the Aragami Sun-stealing Technique, and then I will learn the True Sword Technique, and the five-crystal eternal casting body will be put last... Although I am less than sixty, I am still young among the foundation-building monks, but it still takes twenty or thirty years to practice. It’s such a luxury.”

Leaning on the pillars and watching the sunset completely set and the clear moon rising into the sky, Bai Zichen returned to the quiet room.

The next day, I called the gatekeeper of Baiyu Tower and found that there was one missing familiar face among the people standing in the hall.

 “Where is Cai Heng? Does he have a job?”

After all the spiritual fields rented in Bai Zichen's name were returned to the sect, several of his subordinates were assigned management positions, mainly in the Law Enforcement Hall and the General Affairs Hall.

 But they will basically not be assigned any tasks. These people will still be employed in Baiyulou, and they will just get an extra salary.

“Back to Master, Senior Brother Cai got cold the year before last, which caused an old illness... He stayed in bed for several months, but unfortunately he passed away.”

Tong Huan took a step forward, raised his hands and answered.

As Bai Zichen’s only disciple who entered the house, Tong Huan was the representative who welcomed and sent off his fellow disciples on behalf of Bai Yulou during his retreat.

“There is also Senior Brother Su Lie. He resigned from the post of steward of the General Affairs Hall a few years ago because he was too old to serve. The disciples recommended Senior Brother Hou to take over.”

Tong Huan is already a true disciple, and he has a master like Bai Zichen. Even though he lives in Feiyue Lake and rarely interacts with other true disciples, his voice in the true disciples is still not low.

The true disciples themselves have the right to recommend their disciples to become stewards, not to mention just replacing them.

Hou Kehai has the advanced cultivation level of Qi Refining and is a second-level low-grade spiritual planter, which is more than enough for him to serve as a steward.

“Okay, you can take care of these things.”

Bai Zichen sighed secretly, his cultivation level improved too fast, and several of his disciples could not keep up with him.

 Except for Lu Song, who had another chance and was already the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, the others were already very old and dead.

Several stewards under the hall were all those who later voluntarily stayed in Baiyu Tower after receiving his guidance and favor during the period of Guangkai Lingtian.

It’s just that in a few decades he has gone from being a newly promoted elder to a figure below the sect’s founder, and the disciples who are attached to him are still on the management level and cannot be of any help at all.

 So Bai Zichen was happy to leave these matters to Tong Huan, and it would be good to give his disciple some help.

Over the years, he has been busy with his own cultivation, and has taught Tong Huan very little. He only takes time out every few years, and he feels guilty.

 Let the others retreat, leaving only Tong Huan alone.

“You have reached the ninth level of Qi refining, and in a few years you will reach the most important level... What are your plans for foundation building?”

“After completing Qi Refining, the disciple plans to hunt monster beasts with several true disciples near Feiyue Lake. Not only can he hone himself in the battle, but he can also accumulate contribution points through monster materials.”

In these years, the Qingfeng Sect has opened its doors widely, and the number of disciples it has recruited has increased.

 Over the past few decades, some results have been achieved.

 The most obvious point is that the current twelve true disciples are no longer the only five or six true disciples in each session.

As long as we persist for a while, the number of foundation-building monks in Qingfeng Sect will usher in an explosive period.

This is not only caused by recruiting more disciples, but also by the cultivation resources and foundation accumulated by generations of monks in the sect, and it is finally time to harvest.

 Correspondingly, competition among true disciples has become fierce.

Originally, as long as a true disciple attacks the foundation building, he will definitely be able to wait for a foundation building pill.

 In recent years, there have been cases where true disciples have reached the bottleneck with only one foundation-building spiritual item.

The number of Foundation Establishment Pills has not changed, and the number of true disciples needed has doubled. It is normal to wait for two times to open the Foundation Establishment Pill after sending the application.

The reason why these true disciples failed to catch up with the good times was not that there were few competitors in Bai Zichen's time.

Not around the end of the sect war, because of the unprecedented three thousand-year-old Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum and the third-level demon pill, the sect's foundation-building pill inventory reached its highest peak in history.

According to what Tong Huan said, not even a single foundation-building spiritual object is left in the Chuan Gong Hall.

 The Pure Yang Gang Sha and Black Water Gang Sha stored in the Chuan Gong Hall are simply not enough for the rapidly growing number of Qi Refining Consummation disciples in the sect.

 Coupled with the iron law that every true disciple must have a foundation-building spiritual object, there are even fewer foundation-building spiritual objects left for ordinary disciples.

"The fact that you have been able to practice all the way to this point has little to do with me as a master... This Xuan Shuang Gang Sha is my fund for you to build the foundation. If you are still short of contribution, you can talk to me about it."

Bai Zichen threw out a jade bottle, which contained Xuan Shuang Gang Sha collected from the nameless valley.

“Thank you, Master, for the reward... I will definitely live up to Master’s high expectations and achieve success in building the foundation.”

Tong Huan held the jade vase and bowed excitedly to thank him.

The price of foundation-building spiritual objects like Xuanshuang Gangsha has been rising all the time, and they can already be sold for 2,000 spiritual stones each among sect disciples.

With a foundation-building spiritual object given to the true disciples by Xuanshuang Gangsha and the sect, plus Tong Huan's own accumulation, the 10,000 contribution points required to exchange for the foundation-building pill are basically enough.

 When Old Man Tong passed away a few years ago, he left him a legacy.

"It's not for me, it's for yourself... The sect needs fresh blood like you, and I also hope that there will be a few old friends walking together on the road."

Bai Zichen smiled hoarsely, as if so many years had passed since he established the foundation.

At that time, several senior brothers taught him earnestly and had high hopes for him, and in a blink of an eye, he became the one who preached and taught.

“If you successfully build the foundation, I will give you a spiritual weapon as a congratulatory gift.”

 “I will obey my master’s teachings.”

Tong Huan waited for a moment, and when he saw that his master had no other instructions, he bowed and left.

Bai Zichen returned to the quiet room and entered cultivation in a very unique state.

 When will you practice the Fire Dragon Return to Yuan Sutra and absorb some of the spiritual power of the best spiritual stones?

 When to practice Wu Zhen Sword Technique and evolve its exquisite sword skills.

It is like having the most accurate alarm clock, which will remind him at the right time that he can stop what he is doing and do another thing.

 In this way, the highest efficiency can be achieved.

 This is the biggest change that his alchemy theory has brought to him at present.

 Two months later, a shocking news came, which forced him to stop practicing and temporarily leave seclusion.

It has been decided to move to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and evacuate the Ci'en Temple in Liang State. More than 1,200 people in the temple, including Jiedan Zhenren Ruyi Monk, all died on the border between the two countries.

 No one is left alive.
