Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 376 Towards the Snow Mountain
After making plans for the next two years, everyone in the Jinhua Sect began to practice step by step in the following days.

Chu Tai polishes his magic power every day, comprehends the "Taiyi Jinhua Celestial Secret Chapter", and constantly polishes the meaning of the law of [One] inward. At the same time, he is also constantly refining the Liangyi Qingning Fan, the Miro Sky-covering Umbrella and the Sun and Moon Changming Lamp.

At the same time, the three magic weapons also serve as the core and protective means for the current circulation of the cave's vital energy.

The incarnation of Shao Siming holds a purple bamboo branch in one hand and a Taiyi Youxian Banner in the other. He also wears the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring and the Dragon-Tiger Hook. He stands at an important intersection of the cave heaven's vital energy, using the cave heaven's vital energy to repeatedly polish himself and further integrate the Tianfu Jade Lotus with himself.

From time to time, Chu Tai would send many pills to Shao Siming, asking him to refine them and improve his cultivation.

After Shi Huajin and others have made some success in the spiritual fetus, they will also go to some less important energy nodes to assist Chu Tai in mobilizing the power of the cave heaven, repeatedly refine the incarnation of Shao Siming, and help him polish his true qi and perfect his Dharma body.

Of course, every day one of the thirteen people including Shi Huajin must go to guide the three monks Fei Fei, Guo Shan and Wu Chaoxi.

Among them, Feifei was mainly responsible for mastering the information in the talisman, stabilizing her own cultivation, purifying her vital energy, refining several newly acquired magic weapons, and practicing the secret teachings of the Jinhua Sect and some magical powers targeting the Western Region Tantric Buddhism.

While improving his magic power, Guo Shan also refined several magic weapons in his hands. Under the guidance of Shi Huajin and others, he digested the Yin Jing Sect's methods he had learned, and steadily improved the power of his magic weapons according to the sect's methods, and purified his own true qi.

In his spare time, Guo Shan studied with Feifei and practiced the magical skills and techniques compiled by Chu Tai and others specifically for the Western Region Tantric Buddhism.

Finally, Wu Chaoxi is the one who has practiced for the longest time among the three. He has also had rich experiences in his early years. He has learned a lot of magical skills and techniques outside, and summed up his own practice philosophy. Although this philosophy is far less sophisticated than the secret teachings of the Jinhua Sect, it is worse than a preliminary system, and is full of Wu Chaoxi's personal characteristics.

Therefore, in addition to taking elixirs every day to purify his body and improve his cultivation, the guidance of the Crow Immortal was more about allowing Wu Chaoxi to integrate what he had learned under the instruction of the people headed by Heng Qing.

In the end, the cat lived the happiest life. He spent the day in the cave absorbing and exhaling vital energy and went out hunting at night. Occasionally, he would seek Chu Tai for caress and elixirs. His overall cultivation speed was not slow.

It was not until two years later, when Chu Tai completed his daily practice, that he suddenly felt that the boatman had entered the range of influence of the Jinhua Cave Heaven and Earth Vein.

"Are we there yet? Calculating the time, we didn't stop for long periods of time. If we had taken the wrong route, we would have had to rush here without stopping."

His eyes dropped, and fate converged. Chu Tai saw that the child's aura was still pure, and there was a thin layer of bright light on his body, with wisps of golden cloud light flowing around it.

The former is the manifestation of the boy's magical power, while the latter is the embodiment of his good deeds along the way.

The only pity was that Chu Tai saw strands of gray-black blood in the golden cloud light. These were the sins and accumulated karma from the killings committed by the young man.

Shi Huajin, who also noticed the boy's arrival, silently calculated and roughly figured out the boy's experiences along the way.

"His actions are a little extreme, but overall he is good. With some guidance, he can be entrusted with the inheritance."

Like Shi Huajin, Yu Lisou, who noticed the young man's arrival and calculated his experience, gave him a high evaluation.

"The biggest problem is that we are too extreme in our actions. At present, our sect has a lot of work to do. In addition, with the influence of Dao Fruit fragments, if we are not careful, it may cause discussion among outsiders and cause unnecessary trouble for the leader. It is better to test him a few more times. By the way, we can also guide him a little through the test."

This time it was Yun Yao who spoke up to refute. She held a branch full of peach blossoms in her hand and shook it gently, causing petals to fall all over the sky. An illusion appeared on the boy's path. Seeing this, Yu Lisou frowned slightly and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Yun Yao.

"This is only our last test as a teacher. When we joined the sect, we also went through several tests before becoming true disciples. Although it is a special period now, many things are handled simply. But some tests should still not be reduced, otherwise what if we raise an ungrateful person? I won't stop you if you want to be a good person, but please don't stop me."

Just as Yun Yao finished speaking, Dong Cang, who was standing at the edge of the medicine garden, nodded and said, "You are right. Although the sect is in a state of disrepair and many procedures can be simplified, some tests are still needed. However, the tests cannot only be about loyalty."

"To put it bluntly, he has not yet joined the sect. We cannot force a young man to entrust his faith in a concept he has never been exposed to. A disciple educated in this way will only be a machine for inheritance and will also be unable to shoulder great responsibilities."

As he spoke, the seven eastern stars above Dong Cang's head rotated, casting down a hazy starlight that merged into the peach blossom illusion, adding a variable to the original assessment. For example, if someone within the sect disagreed with his opinion, or if one of his friends or teachers violated the sect's rules.

Dong Cang's actions seemed to have turned on a switch. Nan Dan, Bei Xuan and Xi Huang also took action one after another, dropping hazy starlight to form the pattern of Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Constellations, constantly stabilizing the illusion.

Yu Lisou, Bai Yihong, Heng Qing and Jin Si looked at each other, and activated the power of the cave heaven that they controlled, giving blessings while adding some test content that they thought was necessary.

Different from Yunyao’s test, the star map constructed by Dongcang, Nandan, Beixuan and Xihuang also contains the four people’s insights into practice.

Yu Lisou and the other three each left behind some of their own insights into cultivation. For example, Heng Qing left behind his insights on transforming into a dragon, Bai Yihong left behind his insights on the laws of water and fire, and Jin Si left behind his insights on strengthening the physical body.

Yun Yao was a little unhappy when he saw this, and looked at the others and said, "You guys are making me look like a bully."

As she spoke, she plucked a cloud peach from the top of her own spiritual root tree, stretched out her hand and threw it into the illusion.

Chu Tai saw all of this, and finally stopped at Shi Huajin and asked, "Brother, don't you plan to intervene?"

"The tests they have put me through are enough. I will wait until he becomes a disciple of the mountain sect before making a decision."

"Brother, you have this thought, which saves me a lot of trouble."

After Chu Tai responded, he did not pay too much attention to the subsequent changes of the young man. After all, the time for Taoist Ling Miao to rebuild the Snow Mountain Sect was approaching, and Chu Tai focused most of his attention on this matter.

He carefully checked the situation of Shao Siming and various magic weapons, and summoned Feifei, Guo Shan and Wu Chaoxi to his side, told them the latest intelligence sent by Qiao Ran'er, identified the Western Region Tantric monks who might take action, and taught them some more targeted spells and magical powers.

After everything was arranged, Chu Tai asked his incarnation Shao Siming to wave the Taiyi Youxian Banner, lower the rainbow bridge, and call Feifei, Guo Shan and Wu Chaoxi to go up.

But before the three of them could step forward, Mao'er rushed up first, stood on the rainbow bridge, and looked at Chu Tai with an innocent expression, as if a cat knew nothing.

Looking at the cat that was acting like a spoiled child, Chu Tai thought about it, calculated with his fingers, and did not forcibly pull the cat away. Instead, he signaled Fei Fei and the other two to step forward.

As the rainbow light rose, Shao Siming and his party disappeared into the Jinhua Cave Heaven.
