Chapter 318 Five Scattered People

After doing all this, Chu Tai looked up in the direction of Baishihe Town, and saw that Taoist Cangxuan and Madam Mozhi were missing among the many auras there.

After counting with his fingers and finding that there were no major problems, he slowly returned to the town and asked the Taoist Cuihuang who was a little free. He learned that the two were worried about the increase in the number of cultivators on Hongyue's side, and went out to find fellow Taoists to help.

"Originally, Fellow Daoist Zhengyang was also planning to go out, but he has been getting more and more emotional these past two days, and his ideas have been getting more and more agitated. Although he occasionally returns to normal, we are all worried that he will be plotted against if he goes out, so we trapped him in the ancestral hall. By the way, Senior Brother also invited Fellow Daoist Jingguang. Judging from her reply and Senior Brother's expression, she should have agreed. I think we can have another discussion in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, then stood up and walked into the ancestral hall.

At this time, Taoist Zhengyang was sitting in the center with his eyes closed, and talismans appeared and disappeared around him from time to time.

Most of these talismans contain the meanings of concentration, calmness and purity, but even in this situation, Taoist Zhengyang still has fire energy surging around his body, with gold energy hidden. Between the interweaving of gold and fire, there is also a wisp of wonderful spiritual fire that gathers and disperses unpredictably, constantly burning the incense gathered in the ancestral hall, turning into pure wish power, blending into the earth, and cooperating with the big banyan tree in front to nourish the local water and soil.

Seeing Chu Tai enter, Taoist Zhengyang opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he showed a slightly bitter smile.

"I am sorry to make you laugh at my current appearance."

"Your own calamity is approaching. If you can see through it, you can achieve the fifth level. This is a good thing."

Chu Tai's words of comfort obviously did not reassure Taoist Zhengyang, and he smiled bitterly.

"But now is not the time to overcome the tribulation. I came here to help Mu Jing, but ended up needing his help. If I lose control of the current situation, I'm afraid it will become the biggest hidden danger. It's better to..."

"quiet!"

Chu Tai scolded in a low voice, and the Dharma meaning of [One] and the Dharma meaning of [Immortality] that he mastered slightly appeared, and a bright silver moon appeared behind his head.

The clear light exudes a vast, pure, tranquil, cool, and free atmosphere.

Taoist Zhengyang, enveloped by the light, felt his mind become clear, his anxiety and guilt receded, and the heat hidden in his magic power disappeared completely.

Taoist Zhengyang's pupils shrank slightly, and he bowed his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Taoist friend. I didn't realize that I had fallen into the fire disaster without knowing it. If it weren't for your timely enlightenment, I'm afraid my mind would have been in a state of panic and I would have lost control. By then, the true fire would have reversed and entered the kidney meridian, causing the water veins to boil, which would have caused my essence to drift away and my mind to disperse, ultimately leading to a loss of energy and a loss of spirit."

"This shouldn't be the first time! Haven't you thought of a solution yet?"

Chu Tai's question once again made Taoist Zhengyang's expression a little ugly, and he explained in a low voice.

"Mu Jing and I have also calculated that my current problem should be caused by modifying the practice. The quality of the Sun Pill Dawn Flower True Qi that I practice is too high, higher than most fifth-grade ones. In addition, I borrowed some of the essence of the fire element in the Taixuan Shanggong Five Emperors Subduing Demons Sutra, and made a slight step forward on the original basis. It is even higher than some of the fourth-grade true qi at the bottom."

"But the fifth grade is the fifth grade. Even if the Sun Pill Morning Light Hua Zhen Qi is better than the fourth grade Zhen Qi in many aspects, there must be imperfections. And this imperfection is also increasing as my cultivation level improves..."

Taoist Zhengyang felt somewhat helpless, and looked at Chu Tai with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Back then, I wanted to find you and obtain some of the Jinhua Sect's cultivation methods from you, so that I could take this small step forward and innovate on the basis of the Sun Pill Morning Light Sutra, and thereby step into the fifth rank. But if you think carefully, among the cultivators who practiced the Sun Pill Morning Light Sutra in the past, there were also predecessors whose talents were not inferior to mine. They have tried their best but failed to completely change this fact. How can I do it?"

"Looking back now, when I used the five elements fragments in the Taixuan Shanggong Five Emperors' Demon Subduing Sutra to complete the Sun Pill Morning Light Sutra, the end of today was already destined. The Sun Pill Morning Light's true qi tends to be positive. The original intention of the founder was to reach an extreme when it was at the fifth level, and then ascend to Daluo Heaven, be baptized by the light of heaven, and neutralize the essence." "I blessed the Demon Subduing Essence and added many mysteries to it, which also made it more extreme. I think this is also the reason why Senior Wealth Immortal Yang taught me the Wanbao Ruyi Fa. With the help of the metal element and the polluted fire element, the positive changes of my true qi can be reduced to a certain extent."

Taoist Zhengyang's hands were filled with flowing flames, with a little golden light dancing inside, which was very beautiful. He whispered, "But I am unwilling to give up. I want to go one step further. I choose to blunt the edge of my true Qi first and withdraw from the [Danyang Lihuo] method. With this as the foundation, I will polish the two elements of gold and fire, and try to promote the qualitative change of the true Qi of the Sun Pill Dawn Hua and promote it to the fourth grade."

Taoist Zhengyang said this and didn't say anything more, and Chu Tai also knew his biggest problem.

Just as he himself said, his true Qi was too extreme, and he gave up the meaning of [Danyang Lihuo], polished the two elements of gold and fire, polluted the foundation, and turned from the orthodox Xuanmen to the unorthodox ways. Invisibly, he reduced his own meditation and cultivation of his mind, making the true Qi, which was already tending to extremes, even more difficult to control.

Of course, all of this in itself is not a big problem. After all, it is just a temporary detour.

If Taoist Zhengyang can successfully practice the Wanbao Wonderful Fire he envisioned, he will still have a chance to return to the orthodox Xuanmen from the side door.

In this process of going in and out, Taoist Zhengyang even had the opportunity to comprehend more subtle concepts of the superior immortal way and touch the fruits of the superior immortal way on the basis of the original ones.

But he happened to encounter the calamity of Taoist Mu Jing, and the fate of the five scattered people was connected. Taoist Zhengyang, who was already on the edge of calamity, was naturally pulled into it. During this period, Taoist Hong Yue must have done something that further intensified Zhengyang's calamity and eventually pushed the situation to the current situation.

Chu Tai, who understood this, was about to say something when he saw Zheng Yang's anger turn again, and it seemed to be getting more and more intense. It was obvious that his true Qi had changed again.

"go with!"

He stretched out his hand and the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring flew out and landed on top of Taoist Zhengyang's head. The two rings intertwined, and the yin and yang energies rotated, neutralizing the problem of the true qi and yang pole, making Taoist Zhengyang's state much calmer.

The outside world noticed the changes here, and Taoist Mu Jing rushed over. Seeing this, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that your magic weapon contains such a mysterious principle of yin and yang. In this way, it will be much easier to help Zhengyang suppress the disaster."

Hearing this, Chu Tai looked back at Taoist Mu Jing, and after a brief thought, he understood his thoughts and smiled, "I see. I am used to practicing alone and forgot that you five scattered people were originally fellow practitioners. Your fate is connected, so your calamities will affect each other, but when facing corresponding calamities, you can also support each other."

"Although the Sun Pill Dawn Flower Qi is extreme, it is only the fifth-grade Qi after all. If I can get your Qinghua Dongyuan Qi, your Shaoyin Taibai Gengxin Qi, your Mozhi Kunyuan Xuanhuang Qi, and your Cangxuan Bihai Cangling Xuanshui Qi, they can polish each other and hopefully make further progress. At the very least, the Sun Pill Dawn Flower Qi can also be blunted again in the operation of the Five Elements, allowing it to return to a neutral and peaceful state."

Taoist Mu Jing heard this and said with a smile: "Daoyou have a keen eye, but there is a difficulty in this. The quality of the five of us is not much different. Although we have our own mysteries, we are all of the fifth grade, and Zhengyang is of the highest quality. Even if Cangxuan and I are better than him, we cannot suppress the fire in his true qi. We must find a Yanghe treasure to neutralize it, or a Yinyang treasure to activate it."

After saying this, Taoist Mu Jing seemed to be worried that Chu Tai was afraid of damaging the magic weapon and was unwilling to lend it out, so he added another sentence.

"Don't worry, my friend. This will not harm your magic weapon. Instead, it will allow your treasure to undergo a baptism of our true Qi and complete a transformation from tangible to intangible, and then intangible to tangible. In the future, the five elements will no longer be able to break your magic weapon."

After hearing this, Chu Tai told Taoist Mu Jing and Taoist Zheng Yang the formula for driving the Taiyi Two-phase Ring, and said with a smile: "Now is the critical moment before you Taoist friends face the calamity. If you can make further progress, it will naturally be a great benefit. What's more, I will not lose out. I have saved decades or even hundreds of years of hard work."

"In this case, we only need to wait for Cang Xuan and Mo Zhi to return, and we can try to help Taoist Zhengyang solve the hidden dangers."

Mu Jing smiled and bowed to express his gratitude to Chu Tai, then turned around to discuss the follow-up matters with Chang Pu. At the same time, he fine-tuned the defenses in various places again. When Chu Tai went back to rest, he took out a special magic weapon and began to contact Si Shu Bai.
