Wet viviparity

Chapter 946 Seeking Advice, Five-Colored Stone
"Incredible, incredible."

Ji Ming saw that He Shan had broken the mystery of the womb and understood the cause of the past, as if he had been reincarnated. No, this was no different from being reincarnated.

In that instant, he felt the mystery surrounding his "eye of wet egg and womb" diminish slightly, and reincarnation no longer seemed to be his exclusive domain.

Of course, he also understood that Heshan's case was extremely special. In this world, no cultivator had ever been able to reincarnate with their true spirit intact, let alone be able to designate a reincarnation object. Ji Ming didn't need to worry about this.

"Ancestor!"

Fei Hu Zi bowed before He Shan.

When Heshan saw Feihuzi, his disciple from who-knows-how-many generations ago, he was quite moved. He touched Feihuzi's head and said, "I never thought that after so many eons, I would still have a good relationship with Heguan. You don't need to call me ancestor, just call me fellow Daoist."

Though I am from Heshan, I am also Liu Xi, a fellow traveler of yours.

"No, no!" Fei Huzi shook his head vigorously, his eyes filled with tears, and said, "This disciple is different from my disciple. He is the Little Saint of Taiping Mountain. Even if he is close to the patriarch in his heart, he cannot call you patriarch because of the many obstacles of his current status."

But I, your disciple, grew up reading the ancestral master's books on talismanic diagrams and listening to his legendary life stories, as if receiving his earnest teachings. Only then could I persevere and enable my Crane Temple to repeat the glory of my master's time.

"Good, good, good."

He Shan repeatedly said "good" three times, feeling very gratified.

Ji Ming secretly admired his master's undiminished skill. His words were truly well-organized and clear. While expressing his respect and love for the patriarch, he removed him from the discussion, indicating that he also had the same respect for the patriarch.

Indeed, given what he represents today, it's inconvenient for him to call Heshan the patriarch again, unless Heshan returns to Taiping Mountain's tutelage. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Qingyang Xian is going to personally teach Heshan.

"Uncle!"

Ji Ming suddenly shouted.

Fire Dragon was recovering his senses when he heard Ling Xuzi call out to him. He instantly understood what Ling Xuzi meant, so he asked knowingly, "Do you want to learn my Mind-Changing Divine Technique?"

Ji Ming chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? My master and I are family. If I want to learn this technique, I can go to the Fire Ruins Cave to find my teacher. Why would I trouble my master?"

Fire Dragon shook his head, seemingly helpless against Ji Ming. This was because the local master did indeed possess his Mind-Changing Divine Technique, which he had taught to his junior sister as soon as he created it. If Ling Xuzi were to ask his junior sister for help, she would most likely agree out of kindness.

His junior sister, who used to be so impartial and hated evil, actually showed some leniency towards Ling Xuzi.

"You little devil, you even have to take advantage of words," the fire dragon said helplessly.

The next moment, he transmitted his voice through his primordial spirit, saying, "Your talent in the divine arts of your pupils is indeed exceptional, but you should also strive to refine your skills in numerology. Don't always rely on external forces in numerology."

Ji Ming leaned back slightly and replied, "Uncle-Master, you already saw through it?"

"I thought your skills in divination were superficial, but later I completed the 'Heart Divine Art' created from the large characters of the Fire Dragon Script and spent a long time divining about this matter. I never expected that the reason was a pair of spirits that Gun had enlightened in ancient times."

I don't yet understand the wonders of your newly refined horizontal gaze, but just now a gentle breeze blew by, and it echoed through the pavilion.

"Using this natural phenomenon as a divination, we can infer that your purpose in refining these pupils is to create a dwelling for the Pupil God, so that these two spirits can reside within it. If they were in a Daoist temple, they could unite with the pupils and further enhance their Daoist cultivation." Ji Ming was shocked and could not calm down for a long time.

Master Huolong was absolutely right. His purpose in refining these two Li Cave Horizontal Eyes was not only to integrate the Yin energy into his physical body, allowing him to quickly master the changes in the fire element, but also to transform his eyes into a blessed land for the Pupil God. Only in this way could the Pupil God reside within and cultivate more effectively.

Although I knew that once my Uncle Master Huolong mastered the art of divination based on the Fire Dragon Script, his divination skills would be among the best in the world, I was still incredibly shocked to see him use the most ordinary things to understand the mysteries and calculate seven or eight out of ten.

No wonder everyone calls Master Uncle a remarkable person, and even Qingyang Immortal calls him a fellow Daoist.

Ji Ming quickly calmed down. Although he kept his senior uncle's words in mind, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to truly master the art of divination, he could only rely on years of hard work.

As he was telling his Uncle-Master Fire Dragon about the problems he had encountered with the "Taiyi Hunyuan Yiqi Dishen Huafa" (a method for transforming the body into the body of the Great Unity Primordial Qi), he suddenly heard celestial music playing outside the pavilion. Looking at Qingyang Immortal in the pavilion, he saw him nodding with a smile, and he knew that his reward and thanks had arrived.

Amidst the melodious strains of celestial music, golden light spreads and neon glows spray, and a small, egg-shaped spiritual rock slowly descends, measuring a full ten feet in size.

"Five-colored stones!"

The fire dragon stroked its beard and said.

Bai Long said from the side, "This stone was refined by the master by collecting five colors of stone oil: blue, red, yellow, white, and black. It took sixty years just to collect all five colors. Afterward, it was placed under the earth's core in Zhongyi Mountain, where the thick soil of the mountain suppressed it day and night, and it was refined with water and attacked with fire, and only then were three pieces obtained."

“Lingxuzi.” Qingyang Xian was in a great mood and said to Ji Ming, “Your cultivation has now reached a profound and subtle level, and you must have a lot of lessons to learn. This five-colored stone of mine can relieve you of one of your worries, which can be considered as a reward for this good deed.”

A beam of light shot out from Qingyang Xian's hand, shining on the stone and illuminating its outer skin, revealing a hollow interior filled with tiny, multicolored crystal clusters.

Ji Ming threw his Yuanbi Ruyi onto the stone. The Yuanbi Ruyi eagerly fell into the stone and transformed into a Yang Crow, a Yin Rabbit, and a divine bridge. They flew joyfully inside the stone, moving up and down and absorbing its spiritual energy.

"Thank you teacher!"

Ji Ming raised his hands in a salute.

After being nurtured by this stone, his Yuanpi Ruyi naturally reached the next level of spiritual treasure.

"No need to thank me. My gift is nothing compared to your wonderful magic treasure. It's just icing on the cake. Even without my five-colored stone, your magic treasure could still be refined into a spiritual treasure. It's just a matter of time."

"Alright, you may stay here a few more days while I recuperate for Heshan. Then I will return to join you in celebration and feasting."

Ji Ming was about to have a long talk with his senior brother Huolong, so he found a place in Bailinliuji and asked how to make his refined primordial body be influenced by the many seeds within the innate pure spirit.

Huolong pointed out the errors in Ji Ming's understanding: the innate pure spirit is the original state of the mind and spirit, unpolluted by acquired habits and desires, like a clear lake that can clearly reflect all things, but does not retain any image itself, which is what Buddhism calls "original suchness".

Every person possesses an inherent nature, much like the moisture of water—no matter whether water takes the form of ice, frost, or steam, its moist nature never changes. This nature is intrinsic, inherent, and unchanging.

The original body and the self are equal and indistinguishable, without master or follower. This equality is not due to the influence of cultivation, but has always existed and is inherently complete. Therefore, the cultivation of the self and the cultivation of the true nature that are carried out successively are only to stimulate and manifest the original true nature within the original body.

After this explanation, Ji Ming felt as if he had been enlightened, and all the obstacles in Yuan's body disappeared.
