I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 22: One Qi, Three Flowers; Five Qis, Mysterious; The Mysterious Dao, Unity of Truth

"Brother Taoist, I will return the blood spirit fat to you. Can you lend me the strange beast under your seat to have a look?" Ji Yuan tossed the blood spirit fat in his hand.

"What do you mean by saying this?" Zhao Chengyin's expression changed slightly.

"Brother Dao has injured many of my warriors for nothing and frightened Yin Yaoer. I don't want any compensation from you Dao, nor do I want the storage fee for the blood spirit fat."

"I am a boy from a poor family and have never seen such 'high-end stuff' as mounts. Brother, how about you lend me the exotic beast to observe for two days and then return it to you?" Ji Yuan advised kindly.

"This is impossible, forget it!"

Zhao Chengyin refused decisively. He finally understood the sarcasm in Ji Yuan's words and didn't really want to return the blood spirit fat to them so easily.

This exotic beast, the Red-Bearded and Golden-Eyed Camel, is a specialty of the Zhao family. It is a descendant of the Red-Bearded and Golden-Eyed Beast, the mount of the Zhao family's ancestor. It has a trace of the blood of a divine beast and can climb mountains and peaks as if walking on flat ground and travel a thousand miles a day.

Only the most outstanding young generation of the Zhao family can receive one as a mount.

"Even though you have unparalleled magical power, you are still only a humble person. You don't know that my seniors in the Zhao family have great magical powers. I advise you to quickly exchange the blood spirit fat for Shen'er. Let's do this."

“If not, I cannot spare you with my golden whip today; and my Yunzhou Zhao family will never let you go!” Zhao Chengyin took out two golden whips, and his aura spread out for dozens of miles; he came towards Ji Yuan with pressure.

"It seems that I have to fight with you brother after all." Ji Yuan's magical power spread out over dozens of feet, confronting him head-on.

Zhao Chengyin has been practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years; in terms of magical powers and spiritual attainments, he is of course far superior to Ji Yuan.

But after a brief fight, Ji Yuan had already seen that his magical attainments were not very high.

The cultivation system of immortals in this world is not like the immortal cultivation novels of the previous life, which has dozens of realms such as practicing Qi, building foundation, elixir, Nascent Soul, and transformation into the spirit; even each realm is divided into early, middle and late stages, with clear levels, just like playing a game.

Quite on the contrary, the divisions of this world's cultivation system are extremely vague. According to Linghe Zhenren, before becoming an immortal, there are three realms: [Yi Qi], [Tong Xuan], and [Dao Miao].

Especially in the realm of [One Qi and Three Flowers], the main purpose is only to accumulate magic power and merit; after cultivating magic power for 1,500 years, and overcoming the three disasters, and practicing the second realm [Five Qi Tongxuan], the magic power will be mysterious and changeable, and the life span will be tens of thousands of years, then you can use your realm to suppress others.

When one reaches the highest realm [The Mysterious Unity of Tao], one can easily possess magic power of tens or hundreds of thousands of years; the Tao is as vast as the void of the universe, and a gesture or movement of the hand has the power to shake the heaven and earth; at this time, one can use his momentum to overwhelm others, and the advantage of the realm gap can be greatly reflected.

Like Yin Kaishan and Qingsi, they should all be powerful beings above the level of [Five Qi Tong Xuan].

And in the Taoist temple, within hundreds of miles, the only person with the Qi of "Wuqi Tongxuan" that Ji Yuan could sense was Linghe Zhenren.

There are no less than a thousand remaining Qi energies of numerous cultivators, but most of them are within the One Qi realm.

In addition, within the realm of [One Qi and Three Flowers], the difference between a thousand years of magic power and one year of magic power lies only in the endurance of the magic and the level of understanding of Tao.

The magic power is high; the longer the practice, the higher the understanding of Tao may be; the power of spells and the range and endurance of spells are also much higher.

That's it.

There is no overwhelming realm advantage.

Therefore, the most precious things among monks are undoubtedly magic spells and magic weapons.

There is a powerful magic spell and magic weapon that can easily turn the tide of battle; even with just a few years of magic power and a little bit of Taoism, it can crush the so-called "thousand-year-old" monster.

Ji Yuan doesn't have powerful spells and magic weapons yet, or rather, he has not yet mastered them.

But now it seems that Zhao Chengyin doesn't have it either.

Although he came from a prominent family of immortal scholars, he only knew one precious thing, the [Spirit Vine Binding Technique]. He used this technique to do whatever he wanted in the Taoist temple, and no one dared to provoke him.

In comparison, his martial arts are more inclined towards techniques and moves; they have limited effect on strengthening the body.

The so-called Zhao family's unique skill [Horizontal Golden Body], even if practiced to the highest level, can only produce a strength of several thousand pounds, enough to move a stone millstone.

Compared with magic, martial arts, exotic beast mounts, and double golden whips are what Zhao Chengyin relies on.

But it is still far inferior to the mysterious magic skills practiced by Ji Yuan.

The mysterious skills passed down by Qingsi are extremely extraordinary.

Ji Yuan only knows the first turn of [Yuan Si Nine Turns Mysterious Art]; with the help of [Millennium Red Fruit], his skin has become as soft as leather, his tendons as strong as springs, and his bones as hard as steel; he is invulnerable to swords and spears, and difficult to be injured by sticks.

The qi and blood are like dragons and tigers, and every move he makes is of tremendous power.

When this mysterious skill is cultivated to the ninth level, one can be immortal by just a drop of blood and cannot be harmed by anything. One can hold the sun and the moon, shrink thousands of mountains, and control the power of heaven and earth. One can even compete with immortals in magical powers. It is a first-class and peerless magical power for fighting.

Therefore, Ji Yuan had a clear idea about this in his mind and was not afraid of Zhao Chengyin.

He even relied on his mysterious skills to dare to compete with him and see who was better.

"Whoosh!!" The golden whip swept across, bringing with it a slight sound of breaking wind; the two men confronted each other for a few breaths, and Zhao Chengyin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and urged the red-bearded and golden-eyed camel under his crotch; he waved his double whips and attacked first.

Ji Yuan was strategically contemptuous and very cautious in his heart.

With the help of the strange beast he was riding, the impact of the two golden whips was terrifying. Even though his skin was as hard as leather and his bones were as strong as steel, he did not dare to resist, but turned sideways and retreated.

He didn't even dare to resist with the half-broken crutch in his hand.

In an instant, the golden-eyed camel's four hooves flew, stirring up smoke and dust on the ground that covered dozens of feet.

"Swoosh!" Zhao Chengyin brushed past Ji Yuan, and the golden whip passed by and smashed down in front of Ji Yuan, but Ji Yuan narrowly avoided it.

Before he could retreat, another golden whip with a force of a thousand pounds came down on his head, bringing with it gusts of evil wind.

Zhao Chengyin was furious. The golden whip was best at breaking armor. If this whip hit Ji Yuan hard, even if Ji Yuan had skin and bones of iron, his head would be sunken and broken, and his peach blossoms would bloom.

“Come on!” Ji Yuan had no way to retreat; he used all his strength, his aura roaring like a dragon or a tiger, and the crutch as thick as a bowl stabbed towards Zhao Chengyin’s throat like a spear.

He didn't even dodge or evade, and exchanged his life for another's!
"You!" Zhao Chengyin's face changed in shock. After all, he valued his life and did not fight hard.

Instead, he hastily withdrew the double golden whips that were hitting Ji Yuan, turned his head, and held onto the carrying pole.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang when metal and wood met.

The overwhelming force made Zhao Chengyin's hands holding the whip go numb, and even the golden-eyed camel under him trembled half of its body and took several steps back.

"My crutch is not handy after all, otherwise the Taoist priest would be dead!" Ji Yuan even had time to joke.

"You! How is it possible? What kind of kung fu have you practiced to have such supernatural powers?" Zhao Chengyin was shocked when they first fought.

This time, he didn't dare to get close at all, but urged the red-bearded and golden-eyed camel to fly into the sky with all four hooves, and move to a place hundreds of feet away.

"Die!" Zhao Chengyin shouted angrily, and from a distance of hundreds of feet, he used all his magic power to raise the two golden whips in his hands.

"Swoosh" two golden whips flew into the air, and in the air dozens of feet high, they turned into two golden lights, with great power; they rolled up flying sand and rocks for dozens of feet.

Like two golden lights, they flew through the air and struck Ji Yuan's head like lightning.

"Whizzing!"

Ji Yuan rolled sideways and backward, doing a somersault and moving about ten feet away.

He lifted a large stone mill, four feet square and used by the strong man on the ground to scoop rice, and raised it above his head.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the thousand-pound stone mill flew sparks and instantly turned into pieces of stone.

Ji Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He swept his crutch across, sweeping away the watermelon-sized stones on the ground.

Pieces of broken stones, with gusts of wind, hit Zhao Chengyin, who was a hundred steps away. But the red-bearded and golden-eyed camel was so smart that its four hooves made clouds and dodged past.

However, Ji Yuan leaped several feet and took the opportunity to close the distance.

After a few jumps, the whole person was already in front of Zhao Chengyin.

Zhao Chengyin's heart was horrified, his magic power surged between his sleeves, and the double golden whips in the sky turned around and returned.

"Swoosh!" Two golden whips flew dozens of feet across the sky in an instant, cutting through the air with a whistling sound, and attacked Ji Yuan from behind.

Ji Yuan's cheeks turned red, his divine and demonic skills were running wildly, and he took a long, deep breath.

The golden whip was about to fall on his back.

Ji Yuan suddenly turned his head and uttered, "Ha!"

But I saw a wisp of white mist like an arrow coming out from between his mouth and nose, accompanied by a sound of breaking wind.

This is the first level of training in the Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons; the skin is as soft as leather, the tendons are as strong as springs, and the bones are as strong as steel. Because the internal organs are extremely strong, the breath is as fast as an arrow, and can break window paper from a hundred steps away.

When Ji Yuan was on his way to Jingzhou, he encountered many bandits who were robbing and blocking the road. He used this method to exhale air as fast as arrows and hurt people a hundred steps away.

"Puff!" The golden whip spun with a force of a thousand pounds and instantly shattered the sharp mist.

But he also used this opportunity to stop the golden whip.

Ji Yuan took the opportunity to step in front of Zhao Chengyin, using the carrying pole as a club, sweeping horizontally; the force was like sweeping thousands of troops. Before Zhao Chengyin could react, he was hit hard in the chest.

"Puff!" Zhao Chengyin choked on blood, his eyes went black, and he felt as if his chest and abdomen were hit by a stone mill, and all his internal organs were in pain.

He could no longer drive the golden-eyed camel, as it was knocked to the ground by a crutch.

When he looked up again, Ji Yuan had pointed the broken and sharp crutch at his throat.

"Cough cough!" Zhao Chengyin coughed up blood foam, with disbelief in his eyes.

At this moment, golden whips came flying in the air. Ji Yuan dropped his crutch, shouted softly, stretched out his arms, and caught a pair of golden whips in his palms.

"Good weapon, good material." Ji Yuan picked up the golden whip and waved it in front of the uncle and nephew of the Zhao family.

The golden whip is four feet long, as thick as a rolling pin, with a spike on top; it weighs no less than dozens of pounds.

"What do you think? Taoist priest, do you still want to compete with me?" Ji Yuan said, pulling the reins of the red-bearded and golden-eyed camel beside him with one hand.

The strange beast was extremely intelligent. When it saw its master falling down injured, it bared its teeth and charged towards Ji Yuan.

Trying to knock Ji Yuan to the ground.

Ji Yuan aimed at the golden-eyed camel's head, stretched out his palm and pressed it down, holding it down tightly.

The strange beast was also very strong, with a strength of at least tens of thousands of pounds.

Ji Yuan exerted all his strength, his face flushed red, and he barely suppressed it.

Even so, the beast still refused to give in and raised its front hoof, trying to kick Ji Yuan in the heart.

Ji Yuan slightly twisted his body to avoid it, and praised: "What a strange beast, you are stronger than your master."

"You!" Zhao Chengyin's face flushed.

Zhao Shen's face turned pale, and he was so scared that he buried his head on the ground and pretended to be dead.

"If you want to kill me, then do it. Why do you have to humiliate me like this?"

"If I wanted to kill the Taoist priest, how could he be alive just now?" Ji Yuan sneered.

After all, he still overestimated these monks.

According to Tang Jiwen, Zhao Chengyin is already a famous figure who ranks among the top among the thousands of monks in the Taoist temple.

Countless strange people, wandering cultivators, and goblins died under his golden whip.

As a result, Ji Yuan didn't even use the [Centipede Bee Bag];

With only the mysterious power of gods and demons and a carrying pole, he knocked him to the ground in three moves.

"What exactly do you want?" Zhao Chengyin asked, coughing.

"Master, I won't kill you today, but I will accept your golden whip." Ji Yuan said with a smile.

"And this evil beast, I want it too."

As he said this, he swung the golden whip without hesitation and hit the golden-eyed camel next to him.

"do not want!"

"What?" The uncle and nephew of the Zhao family were about to burst out with anger.

But it was too late.

"Bang!" The golden whip smashed down with tremendous force, and before the red-bearded and golden-eyed camel could even howl or scream, its entire huge head exploded.

Blood mist mixed with brain matter splattered; Ji Yuan swept it away with an expressionless wave of his sleeve.

It was indeed a strange beast, its head was shattered, but the golden-eyed camel was not yet dead, its body lying on the ground and still twitching.

Then, in front of the uncle and nephew of the Zhao family, Ji Yuan took out a sharp knife and began to skin the animal.

"You!!" Zhao Chengyin struggled to get up, his eyes bulging with anger, he looked at Ji Yuan hatefully.

"Let's go!" Zhao Chengyin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he picked up Zhao Shen from the ground, created a cloud of mist, and walked away angrily.

……

Ji Yuan then raised his head and looked at their backs, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually fading.

"If this wasn't a Taoist sect, how could I spare your lives? Come back and seek revenge from me in the future?" Ji Yuan thought to himself, and the murderous intent gradually disappeared.

How could he not know the principle of cutting the grass at its roots?

But this is a sect after all, and killing a fellow disciple is against the sect's rules.

"However, I have already got the fur of this exotic beast. Once I have trained the wind bag, I will not be afraid of your Zhao family."

The reason why the red-bearded and golden-eyed camel was killed was that the exotic beast mount was the most loyal; once it recognized its master, it would never betray.

Ji Yuan had no use for it, and he didn't have enough elixirs and magical materials to feed the beast, so he could only kill it.

The Zhao family is a great family that studies immortality, and Ji Yuan naturally knows that; especially since the ancestor of the Zhao family possesses a supreme treasure, the [Five Hells Escape Immortal Pillar]. Once this treasure comes out, not to mention Ji Yuan, even if Qing Si comes, he may not be able to escape unharmed.

But the ancestor of the Zhao family is not in the Chixian Shenzhou in the territory; but in the Nanshan area outside the territory.

As long as the ancestor of the Zhao family does not come out, Ji Yuan thought to himself that as long as the others can practice the wind bag, there is nothing to be afraid of.
