My enemies became my companions

Chapter 299 That is the Golden Pill (Additional Update in )

Chen Yi walked through the wilderness, looking at the arrow in his hand, and turned back step by step.

Zhou Yitang watched him walk slowly towards her, only to see him take off the silver hairpin from the arrow and put it in his arms.

"How does it feel?" Zhou Yitang asked.

Her voice was flat, not like a wife asking her husband, but like a master asking her apprentice.

Chen Yi felt mixed emotions, his expression was complicated. He pressed the silver hairpin in his arms and said softly:

"It's not a very good feeling. I just feel that I want to go to southern Xinjiang to see her more."

After saying this, Chen Yi looked down at himself.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and said:

“However, with my current abilities, even with Zhu’e’s assistance, it would be beyond my capabilities to rashly enter Southern Xinjiang.

Regardless of whether the Demonic Cult would target him who wanted to be the Mingzun, what's more, once he entered Southern Xinjiang, he would be on the territory of the Annan Palace. Even if Qin Qingluo didn't kill him, someone else would.

"There are many ghosts and gods in Southern Xinjiang, so we rely more on Taoism than martial arts." Zhou Yitang said.

Chen Yi understood the implication, and clasped his hands together and said:
"Of course I have to learn."

Zhou Yitang turned and walked away.

Chen Yi followed quickly.

The two of them shuttled through the woods, passing through countless treetops along the way. A thin layer of snow accumulated on the treetops. Zhou Yitang walked in front of him, her body spotless.

The sound of flowing water could be heard faintly. When she stopped, Chen Yi discovered that she had arrived at the stream, which flowed into a pool of water. There were steep rocks on the shore and the water was clear. However, there were small fish swimming in the pool. It is often said that there are no fish in clear water, but in such clear water, there are many fish.

There are trees crisscrossing everywhere, with wild flowers growing at their feet, covered with vines, swaying and fluttering, making the scene extremely quiet and peaceful.

Zhou Yitang brought him here, probably because the environment was quiet and no one would disturb him.

But Chen Yi still didn't understand what she wanted to do.

In the quiet environment, she turned around and suddenly said:

"You are clairvoyant."

Chen Yi didn't understand why she brought this up, so he said:
"so what?"

The first time Chen Yi learned that he had the ability to see through the eyes of a god was outside Yaoshang Temple, when Zen Master Zhihui told him in person. Chen Yi did not comment at the time, and was not easily converted by it.

For him, no matter what happened in the past, he has now completely integrated into this world. It is meaningless for him to worry too much about trivial things.

At this moment, Zhou Yitang's tone was affirmative, not doubtful or denying, which means that in her eyes, he really had the ability of clairvoyance.

The one-armed woman continued:
"Can you describe the power of clairvoyance?"

Chen Yi scratched his head and continued:
"A pale silver panel, a game called 'Tianwai Tian', a guide... do these count? And being able to see other people's emotions and sense their thoughts."

Chen Yi told it roughly, and Zhou Yitang shook his head.

"You mean, these are all revealed to me by the clairvoyance, not its true abilities?"

Seeing this, Chen Yi, who had been with Zhou Yitang for a long time, immediately understood her feelings.

"Not bad." Zhou Yitang said.

After getting a positive answer, Chen Yi felt a little surprised but not that surprised.

The novelty is that, in other words, one's clairvoyant abilities have not been fully developed.

As for why it is not so novel, it is because those who possess the six supernatural powers of Taoism and Buddhism may not necessarily know that they have these powers. For example, Yin Tingxue, although she can hear a lot of things, she has never known that she has the power of clairaudience since she was a child.

For example, a person has a talent for painting, but he or she does not know that he or she has such a talent, or does not know how high his or her talent for painting is.

Just like a thousand-mile horse only knows that it runs fast but does not know that it is a thousand-mile horse.

The one-armed woman in front of him was undoubtedly the mentor who would guide him on the path of spiritual practice.

Although this master always has some vague calculations.

Chen Yi raised his head and smiled at her:

"I do want to practice a little bit."

Things have come to this point. I have left all the suspense behind and kept people suspenseful enough. If you say you don’t want to practice cultivation anymore, that would be a lie.

Chen Yi does not seek immortality, the premise is that he does not want to learn from the confused Yin Weiying and live forever like a stone. But if it is simply immortality, how could he not want it?
What's more, the enlightenment from immortals and Buddhas is endless. If Zhou Yitong had not acted in secret and killed the Taoist priest today, even if he did not suffer the disaster, he would have been disgusted.

Now that he doesn't practice Taoism, although he is not unable to control his own destiny, he will always be constrained in various ways. Chen Yi doesn't like this. He would rather roam freely in the vast world, or live out his life with several wives in his arms.

"Face the eye in your body," she said matter-of-factly, "I'll teach you, and you learn."

Chen Yi asked back:
"So it starts with looking inward at one's own body, looking inward at the divine eye?"

Zhou Yitang nodded slightly.

Chen Yi then sat cross-legged by the pond and meditated.

He recited the mantra of inner vision and entered a state of inner vision of his own body.

During this long period of time, Chen Yi had learned some Taoist techniques, among which the method of breaking obsessions was the most used. However, he had not learned much Taoist techniques, and he had not studied them systematically.

Strictly speaking, Chen Yi's situation is not much different from those wild cultivators who practice on their own and have no sect or school.

It’s just that since he has the ability of clairvoyance, he can practice very quickly.

Zhou Yitang came behind him, and then put his only remaining hand on the top of his head.

Chen Yi felt that her consciousness was sinking and gradually entering her body.

Slowly sinking into the Dantian Cave, Chen Yi "saw" her. Her figure was ethereal, and she seemed to be carefully examining the foundation of this cultivator.

There are ten realms in Taoism, namely, Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, golden elixir, spirit refining, Nascent Soul, etc. Different from the division of Mahayana, Hinayana and Hinayana in Buddhism, the realms of Taoism are relatively unified. After all, both the southern and northern schools are from the same lineage.

In the Dantian Cave, mist rises and primordial Qi fills the air, condensing into a rushing stream that flows into and out of a lake called the "Heart Lake", over and over again.

Zhou Yitang looked around the cave and said:
"It's ok."

Chen Yi understood the weight of these words.

When opening up this cave, Chen Yi didn't know that he had the ability of clairvoyance. He just poured his true energy into it, and the cave opened up naturally.

Now think about it, if opening a cave is so simple, then why did those Taoists go to so much trouble to find treasures from heaven and earth?
In the center of the cave, stands a dark green tree.

The tree is neither a towering tree nor a tiny sapling. Behind it is a huge illusory shadow, which is the Dachun tree for practicing Taoism.

Chen Yi stared at the tree and followed her words:

"I'm already at the Jindan stage now. I've been practicing the Yin-Yang Art of Resentment these days, and I already have nine true essences. If I put all of them in, I might be able to enter the Jindan stage directly."

Zhou Yitang said, "What's the point of building castles in the air?" Chen Yi nodded slightly and said, "I have the same idea. Moreover, once you enter the golden elixir, the acupoints in your body will contain more Yuan Qi, and there will be less Zhen Qi. At that time, you may fall back to a lower level in martial arts."

One must eat little by little and take one step at a time. Even if one has the ability of clairvoyance and can become an immortal in one step with tens of thousands of true essences, what is the use of that? He will just be known as an immortal in heaven.

Therefore, Chen Yi has never been in a hurry for success. Rather than merging these nine true essences into the Great Dao of Immortality, he would rather merge them into the Yin-Yang Art of Resentment.

While Chen Yi was thinking, Zhou Yitang interrupted his thoughts:

"Let's get down to business."

Chen Yi had no objection, and then asked: "Where is the eye of heaven you mentioned?"

Zhou Yitang's figure was seen sinking slowly and falling into the lake of the cave. She raised her hand slightly and Chen Yi saw ripples in the lake of his heart.

And he also felt itchy inside, which was really amazing in contrast.

The one-armed woman's hand stood alone, and then she pushed.

The entire lake was slowly divided into two sides.

Chen Yi suddenly saw that under the surging lake water, a brilliant golden light was flowing out, outlining the shape of an eye like ink, which seemed to be both alive and dead.

The moment the eye saw the light of day again, Chen Yi's head suddenly buzzed, and then he connected to the vision of the eye.

It is just like when a person is sleeping, his eyes have no vision, but now that he is awake, he can see the outside world clearly with his eyes.

At this moment, Chen Yi felt the vision of this golden eye. He looked down from bottom to top, and at a glance, he first saw... Zhou Yitong's feet, which were like a spirit.

Chen Yi did not move his eyes away in a hurry, but looked at her carefully for a long time. Only when her eyes turned cold did he quickly look away.

"Is this... the Sky Eye?" Chen Yi said quickly to avoid embarrassment.

"Of course it is."

"So what's next? You can't just take a look, right?"

Chen Yi looked at the Sky Eye and stared at himself in amazement.

In this case, the first-person perspective and the third-person perspective almost coexist.

"I'll tell you how to open the third eye."

After Chen Yi nodded, a voice sounded in his ears:

"God has commanded me to communicate with spirits and open the gates of heaven. My nine orifices will be bright, and the sun, the sky, and the moon will shine on my body. Open the gates quickly, and transform my soul into a god. Hurry and obey the command."

Chen Yi didn't hesitate. He stared at the Heavenly Eye and began to recite along with the words.

"God has commanded me to communicate with spirits..."

When the eight characters fell, the Heavenly Eye reacted, and the light covering its body seemed to be stronger than before.

The thin golden light seemed mysterious, yet also a little drowsy, as if it would close at any moment.

"Break open the gate of heaven, and the nine orifices will be illuminated."

The lake in his heart suddenly surged and flowed towards his heavenly eye. Suddenly, Chen Yi was splashed with the lake water. He felt that his entire eyes had become clear, opened wide, and shone brightly, as if he wanted to take in everything in the world.

Chen Yi felt that the vision of the Heavenly Eye transcended this physical body, like a soul traveling far away, and it instantly left the physical body and saw the entire forest. Then he looked up and saw the soldiers and horses galloping in an orderly manner, the princess's carriage, and the prince's back. He turned around and looked to the east, and a small island hidden in the mist came into his sight. That was Penglai.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The latter was wearing a plain white dress and had not yet noticed Chen Yi's gaze.

"Next sentence." Zhou Yitang urged when seeing this.

Chen Yi did not hesitate and recited directly: "Heaven, earth, sun and moon, illuminate my body."

The view instantly returned to the cave.

But at this moment, new changes appeared in the cave in sight.

Actually, to be precise, it cannot be considered a new change.
Instead, it was like opening up the inner world, and seeing many things that were already displayed in the cave.

Among them there is an illusory mirror, made of golden light, which seemed to be created by the eye of heaven.

The map was surrounded by thick air currents, and Chen Yi saw a steady stream of true energy flowing through it.

"This mirror created by the Sky Eye is...deducing the technique?"

Chen Yi muttered to himself in surprise.

"That's the Kunlun Mirror. You and I saw it when we went to Kunlun Mountain in our previous lives, but... you may not remember it." Zhou Yitang said.

Listening to her words, Chen Yi thought hard and found that he only remembered going to Kunlun Mountain, but his memory of the Kunlun Mirror was very shallow, and he only had a rough impression.

But compared to this, Chen Yi was more amazed at the magic of the clairvoyance.

The clairvoyant actually fabricated the magical objects he had seen in the cave, and even possessed some of their abilities.

In addition to the Kunlun Mirror, Chen Yi also saw an illusory bronze tripod. The tripod was huge and seemed to be refining something. The aura flowing out of it filled the entire cave and nourished the illusory big tree.

"That's the Fuxi Ding, which you used to repair the sky..." Zhou Yitang introduced casually.

Chen Yi nodded and said, "In other words, this tripod... helped me open up the cave."

Then Chen Yi turned his head again and saw a pile of small colorful stones hidden deep in the bottom of the Heart Lake.

It looked like pebbles, yet crystal clear.

"What is that?" Chen Yi asked curiously.

"Some of your memories, and...'strategy'?" Zhou Yitang still couldn't understand the meaning of those two words.

Looking at the stones for a long time, Chen Yi nodded slightly.

It seems that the third eye in the lake of my heart is based on these stones and has fabricated many things for myself.

There were only three changes in the cave. After taking a quick look, Chen Yi chanted the remaining spells again:
"Open the gate quickly, transform your soul into a god, and hurry as ordered."

The golden eye of heaven shone even brighter, surging like a tide and surrounding him. The lake of his heart was surging, and Chen Yi's mood changed instantly, with anger, joy, and sadness.

The entire heart lake was flooded with golden color.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhou Yitang's eyes, but she still restrained it.

Yuan Qi was lingering in thousands of acupoints, and millions of breaths flowed into the lake. The Shangqing Heart Method and the Yuanchou Yin-Yang Sutra were running at the same time, reaching the Heavenly Eye.

The golden light seemed to reveal its supreme majesty. With a bang, a golden sphere as small as a mosquito emerged from the Heavenly Eye, as if it was condensed by the Heavenly Eye itself and only surfaced today.

Its existence is why people in the mountains say that those who possess the six supernatural powers will become immortals or Buddhas in their next life.

That is the golden elixir.
