Chapter 425: Strategy, Sun and Moon Refining
Master Li Zhu, Cang Pin Jin Dan, just the four words 'Cang Pin Jin Dan' can make one feel the heavy weight and attainments of this person.

To be honest, if Ji Ming had a choice, he would rather contact Lu Daojun.

This was not because that person was easier to approach, but because his Taoism was more advanced, almost like an immortal. This made Ji Ming feel lost and he could be more relaxed and at ease.

Master Li Zhu is different. He is a true man of the fourth realm and his Taoism is similar to that of the master. If it were not for the great calamity, he would probably still be in seclusion on Jiafeng Mountain.

For Ji Ming, although Master Li Zhu was very advanced, he could only vaguely see the edge of his skills. Such a discrepancy made Ji Ming feel unsure, which was extremely disadvantageous for this conversation.

No matter what Ji Ming thought in his heart, he had to go to the upper mansion obediently when summoned by the magician.

In the Shangfu Treasure Pavilion with red railings and jade doors, painted buildings and carved beams, there are pines and cypresses swaying in the wind and tall bamboos on the side. Master Li Zhu sits alone in the pavilion, wearing a robe with a red bird and fire pattern, and an iron hairpin casually tied in his bun.

Master Lizhu is sitting barefoot and cross-legged, with a dignified appearance, and the sun and the moon on his shoulders, as if he is in a state of meditation.

When Ji Ming entered the pavilion and sat on the cushion at the bottom, Master Li Zhu still did not speak. Only the sun and the moon on his shoulders floated up and down, and there was a faint strange breath that seemed to capture the two phases of the sun and the moon.

"This is... Sun and Moon Refining!"

Ji Ming thought to himself.

He had seen this phenomenon several times when listening to the teachings of a local master and had asked about it out of curiosity. The master did not answer him because he was worried that he would know the inside story and become ambitious.

Later, when I was reading some Taoist books in Taiping Mountain, I saw a few words about "carrying the sun and the moon on the shoulders".

Among the four realms of the Golden Elixir, the cultivator must go through the two stages of "Water and Fire in Harmony" and "Extracting Lead and Adding Mercury", and then go through the final stage of "The Fetus Moves to the Central Palace", before breaking into the fifth realm of the Fetal Spirit.

In the late stage of the fourth realm of fetal transfer to the central palace, the first thing to complete is the two refinements of the sun and the moon.

The "elixir fetus" that has been developed in the golden elixir can directly absorb the essence of the sun and the moon through the method of fetal breathing. This is to use the elixir fetus as a furnace, the essence of the sun as fire, and the essence of the moon as medicine to burn the yin spirit and return to the baby.

Carrying the sun and moon on his shoulders, this shows that Master Li Zhu's sun and moon refining has reached the right level. He only needs the final five elements to stabilize the position and move the elixir from the lower dantian to the middle dantian, which is the so-called fetal transfer to the center palace, and then he can achieve the five realms of fetal spirit.

This is what it means to be afraid of what you know. After seeing the sun and the moon, Ji Ming began to speculate on the wizard's intentions.

"Lingxuzi!"

Master Li Zhu seemed to wake up from his meditation. He raised his hand and pointed in the air. A jade slip flew out. It was the jade slip that Ji Ming had given him advice on.

“It is a good strategy to fight and talk at the same time.

It's just that you, a disciple who has only practiced for more than 20 years, have such experience and strategy. Could it be that God really blesses Taiping Mountain and makes our sect worry-free about successors? "

There was not a single ups and downs in Master Li Zhu's voice, but he was indeed speaking words of praise, which made Ji Ming feel really uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because of the Taoism that Master Li Zhu practiced.

I heard that Master Li Zhu is practicing the way of "the most ruthless person", which is also the way pursued by all the righteous and sages.

Here, "heartless" means not being stuck in emotions, not being obsessed with love and hate, gain and loss, honor and disgrace, etc. Through the cultivation of meditation and forgetfulness, one can eliminate the egocentric bias and reach the clear state of "being one with the Tao".

Of course, Ji Ming was also pursuing this path, but if he wanted to succeed in this path, he had to suppress himself, kill himself, and be reborn again. He was still a long way from reaching the level required in this path.

"Master, you are too kind. There are so many talented successors in your sect."

Ji Ming said in a proper manner.

"What do you think talent is?"

“If they meet a good craftsman, they can all become great talents.”

Jiming replied after thinking about it.

Hearing this answer, Master Li Zhu's eyes widened and he nodded slightly. This boy's answer was detached from the question itself, which showed his broad mind.

"There are always materials, but it's hard to find good craftsmen. In the mountains and down the mountains, there are masters and apprentices who pass on the skills, and blood relatives pass on the skills. People like you are almost unique and you are a natural craftsman. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Master Li Zhu said.

The more Ji Ming listened, the more confused he became. Master Li Zhu praised him several times. Could it be that he really believed in him?

He had heard that Master Li Zhu and his master Zhen Hu Weng had always been staunch supporters of Daojun, and Master Li Zhu was often praised by the sect as the next generation of the headmaster after Daojun Lu. Ji Ming was not blinded by the praise and said, "Senior Brother Zhang has been taught by Daojun for many years in Shangfu, and he has made many great achievements in Lingzhong this time. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"He is good, but with his foundation, it is only natural for him to do this. It is not surprising."

Master Li Zhu saw that Lingxuzi in front of him had the intention of "hiding dragon and not using it", so he changed the subject and said, "I met you today to listen to your thoughts on the journey to Lingnan.

Master Yuanren, Madam Qiyun, and Master Baoqu who is in charge of Lingnan, with these three masters, the importance of your journey does not need to be elaborated. "

Ji Ming naturally had an idea. When he was planning to take down Madam Qi Yun, he had already come up with an idea, but he did not have enough intelligence to support the idea, and the timing was not right, so it had been shelved.

Until now, Ji Ming did not think that the time was ripe, but the power in his hands now might be an opportunity to force the arrival of this time.

"Master, do you know the Poison Hook King of Yulin Cave?"

Jiming asked.

Master Li Zhu nodded and said, "There are two large demon caves under Chishi Village, namely the Earth Jackal Cave and the Yulin Cave. The Yulin Cave was destroyed by the Scorpion Immortal lineage in Panku Mountain hundreds of years ago.

The second spiritual treasure in Fubeigong's hand, the Divine Scorpion Pearl, was made by the Scorpion Immortal lineage using their thousand-year-old elixir after they eliminated the Poison Hook King of Yulin Cave.

Since being taught this treasure, Fu Beigong has refined his second soul, traveled to the four seas and explored the nine underworlds, obtaining many treasures. Later, he was surrounded and hunted by the righteous forces several times and was in a life-and-death situation, but he was able to escape danger with the help of this treasure.

Since the death of King Poison Hook, both Yulin Cave and Di Chai Cave have declined.

Now there are only three or five scattered disciples and demons left in the Second Cave, who were hiding in the Jackal Cave at the Dog Teeth Peak of Liuya Mountain.

At this point, Master Li Zhu paused for a breath or two, looked at Ji Ming meaningfully, and continued, "At present, they have migrated to Xiaoyunfu Mountain and settled outside the Fairy Ape Cave in Sushi Village."

Ji Ming noticed the look in Master Li Zhu's eyes, and he also knew what that look meant.

The Jackal Cave on the Dog Tooth Peak of Liuya Mountain, this name made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar. This cave was the place where his biological mother, Qiao Gu, stayed when she was pregnant with him.

In his first life as a centipede, he protected Qiao Gu on Liuya Mountain and fought against the two monks Zhengguo and Huijin under Zen Master Yu Sula, thus buying precious time for his celestial body to be born at full term.

The look in Master Li Zhu's eyes probably meant that he thought he had obtained information from his mother, Aunt Qiao.

Ji Ming did not choose to explain the inside story, but continued the conversation along the topic he had started, saying: "The Poison Hook King and the master of the Xuanshi Village's Snake Basin Cave, the Yin'e King, are brothers from the same mother. It was only because they hated each other since childhood that King Yin'e turned a blind eye to the fate of the Poison Hook King.

But they are siblings after all, born from the same mother, the couple on the Nanmu Mountain. According to the ethics of the righteous path, he has reason to avenge the Poison Hook King. "

"go on."

Master Li Zhu said.

"Under normal circumstances, King Yin'e would not submit to the righteousness of our cause.

But if we fight and talk at the same time, using fighting to promote talks, he may still be able to relieve the pressure of the fight and succumb to our righteousness and attack the Scorpion Immortal lineage of Fu Beigong."

“It’s difficult, time-consuming, slow to take effect, and has many variables.”

Master Li Zhu pondered for a moment and gave this evaluation.

Ji Ming was silent for a few breaths, then said boldly: "If we create a commotion on Nanlao Mountain, and let King Yin'e mistakenly believe that his parents, the "Two Elders of Hook and Sickle", are about to be released from their shackles, will this force him to avenge King Dugou and dispel his parents' suspicions?"

"Disaster!"

Master Li Zhu did not criticize Ji Ming's bold and extraordinary idea, and said, "First of all, that couple was the demon king of the previous dynasty, who once led the five demons to wreak havoc in the south of the country and wreaked havoc for a time.

Even if you don't implement this idea, it will still touch the sensitive souls of the righteous people in Tiannan. By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your position as the general of Lingnan.

Secondly, the thinking of demons is very different from ours. Although they have been influenced by Taoism and educated by humanity for a long time, demons mostly believe in the survival of the fittest in their bones.

Even if the two elders Hook and Sickle were really unsealed, and there were signs that King Yin'e had a hand in King Poison Hook's death, the two elders would not necessarily punish King Yin'e for it. Your plan has less than a 30% chance of success.

This plan is not as good as the previous one and is really the worst plan."
