Wet viviparity

Chapter 176: Abundant and Brutal, Everyone Shows Their Abilities
In the way of alchemy, or in the three stages of foundation-building before achieving the "Golden Elixir", the main thing to cultivate is the harmony between dragon and tiger.

Even among mortals, in those stories about gods and immortals, they always use some Taoist terms to make the stories more believable.

Among them, the alchemy terms such as "If you want to get yellow buds, you must get a dragon and a tiger", or "When the dragon and the tiger interact, it is called elixir", etc., are the most frequently appearing terms in the story books.

In fact, in the three realms of foundation building, those who have truly obtained the dragon and tiger have an exclusive title, Gao Gong, Dragon and Tiger Gao Gong.

Gao Gong is a special name for Taoist masters. In the orthodox way, it is prefixed with dragon and tiger, and specifically refers to Taoists who are at the third stage of foundation building and can subdue the Yang Dragon and the Yin Tiger.

In this assessment, a total of three high-ranking Dragon and Tiger masters were present, which was enough to show how much importance Taiping Mountain attached to this assessment.

On Qingping Rock, there were already many people at the second stage of Qi Refining who were beginning to retreat, especially when they saw this "Luo Ji" standing on the green lotus, they were all frightened like quails.

In the peaceful Taoist land, there will always be a few anomalies over a long period of time. They are not good at practicing cultivation, but focus on killing. Their murderous aura is even worse than that of the evil demons.

Luo Ji is such a person.

She was born on the "Lingguang Jiafeng" and worshipped under the Zhenhu Weng, one of the two Wengs of Jiafeng. She learned the Taiyi Jiabu true method since she was young, and refined into a Lingguang divine general named "Golden Winged Peng" in the third stage of foundation building.

This divine general was not like the one hastily refined by Zen Master Su Luo who was only for show. Instead, he helped Luo Ji to gain a notorious reputation and was ranked among the top three divine generals refined in Taiping Mountain throughout the ages.

Even someone like Ji Ming, who knew little about Taiping Mountain, had heard of the vicious reputation of Jiafeng Luo Ji.

"Zhang Xiaoyuan!"

Luo Ji called out Zhang Xiaoyuan's name, and her tone didn't sound very friendly.

"You deliberately waited until the last step of the second stage of Qi Refining, the "Appearance of the Primordial Spirit", to take the test. That's a good plan. Why don't you wait until the third stage of Foundation Establishment?"

There was a low-frequency whistle accompanying the words, like the cry of a roc, mainly directed at Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Zhang Xiaoyuan in the crowd turned pale and just stood there, not daring to say a word. He just endured it silently.

"And you!"

Ji Ming thought someone was talking about him, so he subconsciously took a step back and circulated his true Qi around his body. The next second, he saw Luo Ji Gao Gong looking to the other side, and he felt relieved.

"Master Jueguang, you have already worshipped two monks as your masters, both of you are Miaozhen, but you are just as cowardly as Zhang Xiaoyuan, and you have to wait until you break through the third realm to take the test."

On the rock, a monk with a bitter face put his hands together and said, "It cannot be said, it cannot be said."

"What about you?" This time he looked at Ji Ming behind the crowd and said, "Recently, I've heard that there's a jade and a gold in the mountains. You must be the golden boy!"

"Yes."

Ji Ming nodded.

"You are quite good. You have only practiced Taoism for a few years, but you can actually swallow Zhang boy in one gulp. This is a really interesting fight."

“What a compliment!
Praise! "

Ji Ming was just about to be polite and display his usual modesty, but unexpectedly Luo Ji's next words made his expression change immediately.

"Then you will eat me."

"This"

Seeing Ji Ming's hesitation, Luo Ji became a little impatient.

"Since you were trained by the local master of Huoxu Cave, how come you haven't learned even a single bit of the good qualities of her eldest disciple? You look like you've been poisoned by etiquette, and you're so timid and obedient, which makes people dislike you."

Ji Ming murmured in his heart that the eldest disciple had fled to Kyoto and set up his own temple, ignoring the etiquette and laws, which was a taboo that people in Huoxu Cave avoided talking about. He really didn't know what Luo Ji meant.

Before Luo Ji could say something else, she suddenly saw the young Taoist in a black robe open his mouth and suck, and she was sucked directly from the Bihe into his mouth.

She could feel that the process of being swallowed was only an appearance. The moment the young Taoist opened his mouth, the spell had already unfolded outside his mouth, forming a space similar to the Sumeru mustard seed. Next, she fell into a place full of flames, like a meat bag. Before she could experience it well, she was spit out.

"What a side-door technique."

Luo Ji fell back on Bihe, gave a praise, a look of aftertaste on her face, and casually threw out a Taoist book.

She understood that letting Ji Ming perform magic in public was a small revelation of his true identity, which was a big taboo in a magic fight, so she took out a notebook of her own cultivation as a small compensation to him.

Ji Ming flipped through the note, which contained some methods of cultivation in the Sutra of the Mountain-sitting Strongman, especially some knowledge about the Strongman to the Spiritual Light General, which was exactly what he needed.

After being reminded by the other two masters, Luo Ji started talking about business.

"About four or five hundred miles north of Taiping Mountain, there is a mountain called Fenglun. It is a sacred mountain in this area and is also the location of the cave of my master Zhenhu Weng.

In many places in that mountain, there are hidden talismans of the Great Circulation of the Five Qis.

Set out now, and return to the rock at noon on the third day, and hand me your interpretation books."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a constant flow of conversation on the rocks. The journey was four or five hundred miles, and the round trip was a thousand miles. Just on the road, if one only used the armor and horse talismans to travel, it would take about three to five days.

Of course, this is an assessment, and naturally it has the purpose of testing everyone, allowing everyone to do their best.

On Qingping Rock, the first person to leave was Zhang Xiaoyuan, who rode on a giant eagle with golden eyes and red beak, and flew away into the sky, looking very cool and unrestrained.

Where there is a first, there will be a second.

A huge crane was carrying the Taoist priest into the sky. Its pair of wings were covered with armor and horse symbols, which increased the endurance of the wings to the extreme. It was obvious that it wanted to fly directly to Fengkun Mountain in one breath.

There were even some small groups that rented a few Pegasus from the spiritual enclosure on the mountain and disappeared in a flash.

Just like this, all the Taoists on Qingping Rock used their own magical powers, and soon, there were only a few people left on the rock.

"Junior Brother Jintong."

A disciple of the god Zhu Yifeng came over. Ji Ming recognized him and thought he was a disciple of Fei Huzi's good friend. He was ready to lend him a Jia Ma Ling Fei Talisman to establish a good relationship with him.

"No need."

Ji Ming thanked him for the kindness. At this time, there were high-level masters watching him. If he borrowed external forces, it would hurt his reputation.

He opened his mouth and blew out a strong wind, which blew the rocks into pieces, broke the branches, and sent thick sand flying into the sky, which made the Yifeng disciples standing by dizzy.

"I've heard that my junior brother's Qi-powered grasping technique is a different approach, completely abandoning the concept of grasping and only using the fierceness of the Qi. Seeing it today, I realize that it is indeed extraordinary."

"Haha~"

Ji Ming laughed dryly a few times, feeling very unsure.

Controlling the strong wind to fly into the sky is a temporary response method, which he has never tried before. Once he uses it this time, he must not make a fool of himself. He immediately concentrates his mind and controls the wind carefully.

The wind swirled in the air, like a dragon lurking in the abyss, and rolled down, sweeping Ji Ming up and making him disappear in an instant.

On Qingping Rock, the disciple of Yifeng was blinded by the wind. When the wind and sand passed, there was no trace of Jintong in the sky. Just as he was feeling emotional, he saw a pair of cloud shoes on the ground.

"Who dropped this?"

In the sky, a strong airflow dragged a figure, which passed a group of Taoists who were riding spirits in the air, and even Zhang Xiaoyuan, who was at the front, was left far behind.

Zhang Xiaoyuan had been content and calm at first, but this time his desire to win was aroused. He spread his arms, flipped his body, transformed into a divine falcon, and quickly caught up.

I barely caught up with it and vaguely heard a "ah" sound. I was confused and wondered if it was some kind of Zen chanting technique to speed up.
