Wet viviparity

Chapter 689: Peace, Public Opinion
In the Shushi Cave, Ji Ming was practicing the task of extracting lead and adding mercury.

"Golden waves and jade liquid are of the same origin; the dragon and the tiger mate and enter the Kun Palace.

The elixir descends by itself and then rises again, and the whole body is filled with the power of elixir refining.

Be careful to burn incense and keep the true intention, close the gate and regulate the Qi to merge the spirit.

"

He recited the alchemy formula from his practice in his mind, while jade liquid and golden crystal were being refined in his body. His internal organs were nourished by the jade liquid, and the Yin impurities in his primordial spirit became less and less. A golden elixir was shining brightly and was round, revealing the meaning of perfection and flawlessness.

Although this intention is as faint as a candle, it is hard to ignore. It is already the highest level of alchemy.

Ji Ming was immersed in this divinely satisfying feeling. Only when his studies became more and more advanced and his cultivation became more profound could he feel temporary security and pleasure. This feeling could not be brought even by defeating a powerful enemy.

During this period, he was able to make such progress, all thanks to the remaining twenty or so drops of Star Liquid.

This spiritual object refined from the Tianhe Ferry in Guangyuan Shuifu can be used in conjunction with the essence of the sun and the moon in the "two refinings of the sun and the moon" in the later stage of the golden elixir to operate the method of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the later stage, but Ji Ming still decided to take it at this moment.

Current practice has always been the top priority. Moreover, Leng Cuishan had taught him the water escape method before, and he had used several drops of Star Flow Liquid to make up for the deficiency, and also used several drops to nourish a pair of pupil gods.

The remaining ones may be helpful in later studies, but they are very limited and there is no need to keep them.

When Ji Ming finished his homework, he took the magnetic bottle outside the cave and pulled out the letters one by one from the bottle. Most of them were letters from Shu Si, which described all the major and minor affairs inside and outside Heguan in detail.

The most important of these was the reaction within the Five Immortals Sect, as well as the situation of the Demon Village in the Ridge, the Yunyu Temple in Luoyin Lake, and some independent cultivators in the South China Sea.

The records in Shu Si's letters were very detailed, even complicated. Ji Ming patiently read through the letters one by one.

Judging from the various messages in the letters, he has undoubtedly been at the center of public opinion in Tiannan during this period. All kinds of rumors about him are rampant, and the Five Immortals Sect has also shown some signs of stopping its activities.

He took out some more letters from the magnetic bottle. These were all letters from Taiping Mountain, with letters from Moyazi, Jiang Hongqiong, Liu An and others. Ji Ming just took a quick look at them and put them aside casually.

Among these people, the relationship is still acceptable, and some even have personal connections, but after all, they are on different paths. They are all people with an orderly inheritance on the mountain, and relationships can be maintained, but there is no need to expect anything else.

This time he did step on the corpse of Fubei Gong and gained huge reputation in Tiannan, but after Master Lizhu breaks through and comes out of seclusion, there is still no big suspense about the position of the next generation of True Lord.

Ji Ming flipped through the remaining letters and pulled out the letter from Tiebeigu in the Shenpo Cave at Huaguang Peak of Gaogong Mountain.

This Tiebei girl is the junior sister of Elder Tianwu and also an old senior on the path of cultivation. Hundreds of years ago, she had already established her own school and sect outside the sect. Even during the Second World War, she seldom intervened in the fight.

He had also been to Tiebeigu's Witch Cave on Huaguang Peak once, and had a close relationship with her daughter Xie Chunliu.

The gist of the letter was that Tiebeigu could not refuse the request from the Five Immortals Sect out of consideration for their old friendship, and since she had no feelings for Ji Ming, she came to ask for information, hoping that he would come to the mountains to meet her, explain the pros and cons, and make a peace.

After reading the letter, he thought for a while and then called Shu Si and Wen Daoyu.

Wen Daoyu came into the cave holding a wine pot and a scorpion tail as long as his arm, which looked like it was made of emerald jade.

This half pot of the Poison Star Immortal Wine and the scorpion tail needle are considered rare treasures in the world. The former is a great tonic for the Five Immortals Sect disciples and poisonous creatures, while the latter is an ancient treasure passed down by the Scorpion Immortal lineage and can be used as a material for refining magic weapons.

Unfortunately, for Ji Ming, it seems to be of no use at the moment, but this wine can be given to Qianshou'er to drink.

Speaking of which, there has been no news from Qianshou'er since he followed the guidance of the goddess of music to the west to practice Zen. Now, no one knows what the situation is and when he will be able to return after completing his studies.

"How's the rainfall in the mountains?" Ji Ming asked Shu Si.

"The master has shown great kindness. He sent Qingbolong and other river gods to bring rain to the mountain ranges in a measured manner, preventing floods from occurring in the mountain ranges and saving countless lives."

"Don't flatter me. If I don't end the drought and bring rain, I have already asked Immortal Toad Lord to issue a rain decree. By then, the drought in the mountains will still be difficult to maintain. But since Fubei Lord has been executed, there is no need to let the barbarians suffer from disasters."

Shu Si said, "Master, Tiebei is waiting outside the mountain. She is carrying the rain-making decree with her. It seems that she wants to discuss the rain-making decree with you to ease the relationship."

"Then call her into the cave and see what sincerity the Five Immortals Sect has."

Things have come to this point, and it is time to wrap it up, but Ji Ming has no intention of asking for too much.

If Ji Ming really thought that his design had caused the Five Immortal Sect to lose a Fu Beigong, and that he could then blackmail the other immortal elders of the Five Immortal Sect at will, then his spiritual journey would probably end here.

It is a virtue to know when to quit.

He had reached an expected and satisfied psychological state regarding the matter of Fu Beigong.

Originally, according to the plan, the Five Immortals Sect was threatened by the people of Lingzhong, so that Fu Beigong would be caught in a dilemma and thus greatly damage his reputation. If Fu Beigong could be subdued, that would be even better. Otherwise, it would also be a good idea to make him consider the benefits of being his enemy.

However, he inadvertently deduced that Fu Bei Gong might have sought help from Zen Master Cai Hu, so he took advantage of the situation and asked Bai He Tong Zi to come to solve the crisis, which suddenly caused Fu Bei Gong to lose his trump card and even lost the support of Zen Master Cai Hu.

Rather than saying that Fu Bei Gong died at the hands of Zhenjun and the Master, or even at his own hands, it would be more accurate to say that he was tricked to death by Zen Master Caihu.

At this point, it can be said that it has far exceeded expectations. If one continues to move forward without satisfaction, he may break this "degree", exceed the scope of his own cultivation, go to the opposite side of things, and cause a disastrous defeat.

With Ji Ming's permission, Tiebeigu was led into the cave.

When she first met Lingxuzi in the cave, she thought he would act in a certain manner, perhaps scrutinizing her, looking down on her, or even showing some hostility, but in fact he was unexpectedly calm.

From this point alone, we can tell that his reputation is worthy of his character.

In Ji Ming's eyes, Tiebeigu was still the same as before, dressed like a woman, with scattered gray and white hair on her forehead, a scarlet robe, and barefoot on the ground. There was a thousand-footed Dharma wheel on her back, twitching wildly.

I still remember the time when I visited the Witch Cave on Huaguang Peak. I was still a minor cultivator. As I was performing secret duties of the mountain society, I kept my mind focused and did not look unusual. I wonder if Tiebeigu remembers this.

Ji Ming had no intention of reminiscing with Tiebeigu, so he got straight to the point and asked, "How does the Five Immortals want to make peace?"

After hearing Ji Ming's words, Tiebeigu understood that Ji Ming had a restrained heart and chose to preserve the existing results.

This should have been a happy event, but Tiebeigu did not feel the slightest bit of joy. Xianchangong invited her here to discuss things because she had already established her own school outside the sect and was not influenced by the sect, so she could talk about things more soberly.

But she found that the other person was more sober than herself, and in an instant she felt a kind of admiration for him, and a fear of his future.

If it were her, she would have eliminated a "demon" figure from the Five Realms and gained great reputation. Then, at this moment when the Five Immortals Sect seemed to have stopped fighting, she would have definitely bitten off a piece of meat from them.

Thinking of this, Tiebeigu said: "Greed is the evil root of the mind and nature. Daoists can take the initiative to perceive and cut off it. Not following the flow of thoughts is already in the process of "breaking the ego", and enlightenment is expected!"

"Haha, this is just like watching the tide and knowing when to retreat, so as not to go against the will of heaven."

To have a senior sincerely praise his sexual skills made Ji Ming happier than any other compliment.
