Wet viviparity

Chapter 234 Inventory, Four Yin Times
In the temple, Ji Ming did not go into seclusion immediately.

He walked on the shelves in front of the four temple walls, holding a soft cloth and a whisk, wiping here and dusting there.

The stone box that once contained the centipede fairy eggs was rubbed by him until it emitted a cold glow, as was the last piece of Huangliang Dream Pillow, and the stone cell of the mirage dragon.

Standing on a shelf, there is a jade slip recording Haishi Dafa, as well as the secret skills obtained from the Bingfu Cave, such as the Iron-Chewing Dafa, the Five Tigers Soul-Severing Palm, the Vajra Body Seal, the Confusing Mind Technique, the Demon-Subduing and Wish Seals, etc.

In addition, the moon-worshiping method of demon body refinement, the two magic arts of the true form of Yin Feng and Demon Wind, as well as the Little Ruyi Technique, and even the "Rock-moving Treasure Shovel" and "Crow's Nest Fire Creeping Stasis" that were comprehended in the dream of Si Guizi's reincarnation, are all recorded in the bamboo slips.

Finally, there is the method of refining the Baoguang Qi used for sacrifice, the notes on the experience of refining the White Bone Heart Bead into a treasure, and the twenty-four turns of Taiyin for refining the magic weapon "Taiyin Moon Bridge".

Ji Ming once suspected that there was something wrong with the twenty-four-turn treasure refining method. After all, it was given to him by Zen Master Sura in the Centipede World.

However, he also found a book in the Bingfu Cave. The content was exactly the same, with no deletions or additions, and there were even the Zen master's own annotations on it. This proved that Ji Ming himself was too suspicious.

Now think about it, how confident and proud Zen Master Sula must have felt when he gave the treasure refining method to him!
At that time, he was actually willing to give a flawless method of refining treasures directly to the hostile monster that helped the gods to descend to the world. Or perhaps this was a long-term move at the time. Unfortunately, when it came to the centipede monster, it was destined to be a show for the blind.

Ji Ming flipped through every book on the shelf, not for reading, but for a miserly sense of satisfaction.

Go to the next shelf, here are some magical herbs and elixirs.

The polygonatum, ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, etc. that were searched from the Bingfu Cave are all stored here in jade-sealed boxes. There are also pills such as the bigu pill, the nerve-soothing pill, the blood-stasis pill, the miasma-breaking and poison-eliminating pill, etc. that are always prepared for home retreat.

On a separate shelf, there are a large number of talismans.

Here are the two talismans of Nanghuo and Huodou made by Ji Ming himself, as well as the Jiama Talisman, Anshen Talisman, Ganlu Talisman bought in the market, as well as the top-grade Jiama Lingfei Talisman and Tuxingdun Talisman.

The price of an Earth Escape Talisman on the black market is comparable to that of an Air Forbidden Talisman. This was because Ji Ming had some spare money, so he made the extravagant purchase of one.

In addition, there are yellow paper, cinnabar, talisman pens, and a large number of Taoist books on talisman making on this shelf. This is the basis for him to make the two firewood talismans of Nanghuo and Huodou in the cave.

On the last shelf, there are some miscellaneous books and items, such as the stone bottle that once contained sarira, as well as "General Outline of Nan Dou Tan Mantra", "Shenyijing", and the book of three hundred good deeds to be delivered to the master.

There is no other way. The temple is too small to classify everything one by one. One's own bag should contain the White Bone Heart Beads, Flying Fire Ruler, Blue Skull, Talisman Diagrams, True Method Explanation Book and other important things, as well as things that are strictly prohibited from being passed on to outsiders on the mountain.

Ji Ming looked at the objects on the shelf with satisfaction. These were the witnesses of his practice, the traces of his steps, and each one had a story between it and Ji Ming.

As long as he stayed here and watched all this quietly, he would feel extremely relaxed and peaceful.

Ji Ming thought to himself, "This is what a cave looks like. When I find a famous mountain in the future, I will carefully build a Langyuan Immortal Mansion and store all of you well."

“It’s time to retreat!”

As his soul moved, a red pill with an annual ring flew out from the bag tied to the ribbon.

Ji Ming held the red pill and looked at it for a while, then put it into his mouth and swallowed it down with a "gulp".

"One pill is worth ten years of hard training!"

Ji Ming thought to himself.

From Zhiguang, he learned that the calculation of this ascetic practice was measured by that of ordinary Taoists, and was measured by the little bit of true Qi that ordinary Taoists transformed every day through the decomposition of elixir rice, the secretion of dregs, the steaming of saliva, and the transformation of essence and fineness.

The fermented (digestible) Dan rice here refers to the Bigu Dan and the polished rice.

To be honest, Ji Ming didn't know how much true Qi he could get from this kind of Danmi every day. Now that he could make progress in this area, the Danmi was more important for filling his stomach during retreat and keeping his body healthy. In terms of cultivation, he still relied mainly on Dantou, Shell Pearls, Spiritual Grass, etc.

He also understood that for many lower-level Taoists, especially those who were independent, it was normal for them to only practice Danmi.

At the top of the head, the highest of the three flowers, the divine flower (primordial spirit), began to descend into the two flowers of essence and energy, sitting cross-legged inside, guiding the gradually boiling spiritual inspiration.

When the Mountain Warrior Sutra was activated, the Void Warriors came out one by one like dumplings, and fell into the various orifices in the body, advancing unswervingly towards the goal of becoming a full-orifice warrior. Gradually, the miracles brought by the terrifying number of Void Warriors to Ji Ming's body became more and more obvious, and his body became lighter and lighter, to the point where it seemed to be there and not there.

Ji Ming felt that his body was getting closer to the Void Warrior. He began to acquire more characteristics of the Void Warrior. For a moment, his mind became unstable and he didn't know whether this was a good or bad situation.

"not good!"

Two tranquilizing pills flew out of a gourd on the shelf and went into his mouth, allowing him to calm down again and avoid being disturbed by his inner demons.

One, two, ten, twenty, the number of strong men increased rapidly, and Ji Ming began to feel the burden. His soul gradually could not support so many strong men, and he even felt a dull pain.

You should know that his soul had been tempered and improved in the altar of the Cemetery. To some extent, it is already equivalent to the strength of the soul in the middle stage of foundation building.

The Void Warriors were still emerging, and there were already four hundred of them. Ji Ming's physical body had already risen to the beam, which made him sweat hot on his forehead. Then he quickly hung the White Bone Heart Bead behind his head to protect his soul, and he felt much better.

"No, it's too forced."

Looking at the situation, he had to condense the water evil and subdue the "Yang Dragon" so that he could support the full-orifice Void Warrior.

Occasionally, a few void warriors would jump out from the flesh body uncontrollably, leaping and flying inside and outside the temple, fighting with each other, chanting loudly, twisting their bodies, and making all kinds of gestures.

Ji Ming did not stop reciting the Shan Li Shi Sutra, and took a stone bottle of relics that was unused on the shelf.

This bottle was specially made for the relics and can prevent the relics' Dharma power from leaking out. Although it is not a Dharma instrument, it is more useful to Ji Ming than a Dharma instrument at this time.

The refined Void Warriors were put into the bottle, and even the Void Warriors in the body's orifices that were a burden to the soul were put in one by one. In the end, there were 162 Void Warriors in the bottle.

A bottle-hiding talisman used to seal away evil spirits floated out from the shelf and stuck to the bottle, stabilizing the shaking bottle.

Ji Ming held the bottle, frowned and thought carefully. Now, including the strong men in his body and the strong men in the bottle, there were a total of 441 strong men, which was 125 short of the 566.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he realized that the value of this strong man was still increasing. No wonder no one had achieved that level of skill since the ancestor of the Qian family.

Perhaps I should go find the second master of the Qian family and try to get some relevant cultivation notes from his ancestor. Maybe there are some secrets of cultivation that have never been made public.

Feeling that the power of the elixir in his stomach had dissipated, Ji Ming let out a long breath and called Shu Si to his side.

Now, as his practice deepens, he becomes more and more dependent on his attendants, especially Shu Si, who can be said to be his "God of Wealth". Without Shu Si, it would be like losing an arm.

"master!"

Not long after being summoned, Shu Si came in, covered in dust, and greeted with a bow.

Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight and looked mentally exhausted, Ji Ming could not help but comfort him and said, "When the business is big enough, just hire some Taoists. Why worry about everything?"

"The Nanghuo and Huodou talismans were initially promoted with the help of Master Qian, but the Taoists we hired in the Leixi Great Workshop have not yet fully mastered these two talismans. It is difficult to make one talisman out of ten attempts, and the loss is high."

Shu Si complained bitterly, took off his round hat, scratched his head, and said, "Besides, there has been a major reshuffle in the courtyard recently, and the Taoists are already in a panic. I have to appease them."

Ji Ming felt very sympathetic towards Shu Si, but he still had to be a hands-off manager.

"Rat Four, the eighth day of the eighth month of this year is approaching. This yin year, yin month, yin day and yin time cannot be missed.

The Yin Corpse Fire Altar in the Treasure Light Qi Refining Method can be set up in advance. This time I want to take the White Bone Heart Bead to the next level."

Shu Si immediately became nervous, knowing that this was a big deal, and said, "The accumulated corpses and the seven treasures have already been prepared. I will go and arrange them now."
