Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 145 "Five Thunder God Cloud Art"

The next day.

There is a dense forest in the mountains, with flowing springs, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

The clouds and mist were rising and falling, and a few small animals accidentally broke in. They were confused and kept circling in a circle, over and over again, unable to stop.

In the misty fog, two figures slowly emerged.

"Fairy Yunrou, congratulations on finally breaking free from the shackles of the secular world."

Qiu Zhen looked around with a smile, and soon became a little surprised:

"Your skin is radiant and your body is filled with innate Qi. Your body-refining skills are progressing so fast. Aren't you worried that others might get suspicious?"

"It doesn't matter."

Fairy Yunrou smiled, calm and confident:

"The day you taught me the [Mind Monkey Method], I happened to meet Wei Tanzhi looking for trouble. He tested me with his martial arts will. I displayed the sword power taught by Master Chunyang Lu. That sword power subtly matched the unity of heaven and man. My family regarded me as a peerless genius who had the potential to become a martial arts master. With all my accumulated experience, there was nothing wrong with practicing faster."

"It makes sense."

Qiu Zhen smiled, he was familiar with this.

In order to conceal his amazing speed of cultivation, he pretended to be a "fate genius" for a long time.

As for Fairy Yunrou, it is hard to say whether she can achieve the level of a powerful soul master who can "refine Qi into Spirit", but if she is devoted to martial arts, there is great hope for her to become a martial arts master.

"Qingwei, the Demon Suppression Division has targeted me this time, and I don't even have the chance to transform my corpse and sever my earthly ties. If you hadn't taught me the [Mind Monkey Technique], I'm afraid I would have had to retreat into the mountains like the monk, implicating my family."

Fairy Yunrou was filled with emotion.

Even thinking back on it afterwards, it still makes me a little nervous.

As a sword practitioner, she is not afraid of demons or powerful enemies, but she cannot bear to see her family suffer because of her.

Qiu Zhen smiled:

"It's just a small matter, fairy, please don't keep talking about it."

"Too."

Fairy Yunrou was a straightforward person, not one who would be shy. She smiled and nodded, then she casually reached into her sleeve and took out a book.

"Qingwei, this is the Taoist book I took from the secret vault of my ancestral temple."

As she spoke, Fairy Yunrou took out another book from her sleeve.

Several times in a row.

Soon, four books were piled up on the stone table in front of the two of them.

Qiu Zhen looked slightly surprised.

It’s not that I’m surprised that Fairy Yunrou took out a book out of thin air.

Before this, when he was asking about storage treasures, he heard Fairy Yunrou boast that she had a five-foot square storage bag, which was very precious.

"Fairy Yunrou, why are there so many Taoist books?"

Qiu was really surprised.

Fairy Yunrou said she would teach him a technique called thunder magic, but now she took out a large pile of them.

Holding the [Miro Palace] jade token, he could vaguely feel a faint spiritual light coming from the book.

This means that this pile of Taoist books contain all the magical methods to become immortals.

"These Taoist books originated from the lineage of talismans, and record all kinds of talismans and thunder methods. In the ancient world of immortal cultivation, any one of them could be regarded as an heirloom of a wealthy family or the unique skills of a major sect."

Fairy Yunrou finished speaking and sighed:
"It's a pity that now they have all become useless and tasteless."

"I see!"

Qiu Zhen suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this.

The talisman is, to put it simply, "borrowing power". To perform rituals and to invite gods, one borrows the power of others. "Lu" means a book or register.

A talisman is granted as an "immortal talisman" by the heaven, which lists one's name in the immortal register. One can then mobilize the gods, generals and officials in the "immortal talisman" to use the heavenly soldiers and generals at one's disposal, and have great supernatural powers.

In the ancient world of immortal cultivation, the so-called "thunder magic" was mostly the magical power of the "talisman lineage".

With the help of the "Immortal Talisman", one can summon the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning, call the wind and rain, drive away thunder and lightning, pray for clear weather and rain, and have boundless magical powers.

In the past, Taoists of Xuanmen carried "immortal talismans" and were blessed by immortals and gods and ancestors. They slew demons and monsters, upheld the great way, and had great supernatural powers.

It’s a pity that everything has become a thing of the past and the talisman tradition is no longer popular.

Just like the [Method of Summoning Divine Generals] given by Fairy Yunrou that day, it is a serious talisman spell that today's immortal cultivators cannot practice at all.

Nowadays, except for the talisman method that purely summons and draws on the "natural power of heaven and earth", the talisman method that summons gods is basically ineffective.

Just as Fairy Yunrou said, the talisman method has become useless.

"Qingwei, you have a high level of understanding. The [Summoning Gods] in your hands has become the [Mind Monkey Method], which has restored the glory of the talisman lineage. I thought that these thunder books of the talisman lineage might be useful to you, so I brought them here specially for you."

"Thank you fairy."

Qiu Zhen was delighted.

For others, the magic spells of talismans are useless, but it is different for him.

He awakened his primordial spirit and gave birth to the [Tian Yan 49 Divine Pearls]. He had an astonishing understanding and the ability to deduce magic spells and supernatural powers.

In fact, the [Method of Summoning the Monkey King] he created is a genuine magic spell of the talisman lineage.

He is the master of the law and the main god, and others practice his great law.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade.

Although the Thunder Book of Talismans cannot be practiced, it can be of great use if it is studied and learned from.

"Good baby, fairy, these thunder books will be of great use to me."

"As long as it's useful."

Fairy Yunrou smiled and took out a Taoist book from her sleeve:
"I just brought those thunder books to you. This one is the most important one. It contains a powerful thunder method, a serious alchemy thunder method, not a talisman thunder method."

Qiu Zhen took it easily.

The Scripture of Purity and Tranquility

At first glance, there was nothing surprising about this Taoist scripture. However, he did not need the reminder of the [Miro Palace] jade token and soon sensed a flash of inspiration in the Taoist book.

"This is."

"Yes, the inspiration is revealed. My family also knows that there are magic spells hidden in it. If I hadn't become an innate martial artist, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use it."

Fairy Yunrou spoke of this spell with great clarity:
"There is a thunder method recorded in the Taoist book, named [Five Thunder God Cloud Art], which is a five thunder method that combines the alchemy and the spell. It is refined internally to form the elixir, and refined externally to form the method. It uses the qi of the five internal organs and the five elements of the body to gather the qi into clouds, which attracts the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth". It is extremely powerful."

"If you learn this thunder technique, you can ride on clouds and mist, and control the five thunders. Not only is it extremely powerful, but if you can't defeat the opponent, you can also ride on the clouds and escape. It can fight and run, it is a rare thunder technique."

Speaking of this, Fairy Yunrou looked regretful:
"It's a pity that I practice the sword immortal method, not the thunder method. This spell can't be used effectively in my hands. Otherwise, I would like to practice it."

"What a magical power!"

When Qiu Zhen heard Fairy Yun Rou introduce the magic, he couldn't help but be moved. Without saying a word, he sank his spiritual consciousness into the magic to take a look.

"I gather and refine the lightning and thunder qi. I receive the qi of the Thunder God and the power of the Lightning Mother. One sound is received in the gallbladder, two sounds are received in the liver, three sounds are received in the liver, four sounds are received in the heart, and five sounds are received in the spleen. I am the general of the five elements and the soldier of the six Jias."

"The gallbladder is in the liver, and there is green qi inside. When the gallbladder is angry, red qi gathers, and the five qi enter the gallbladder palace. Water and fire fight each other, and thunder moves. The gallbladder is strong and the liver is angry. The angry qi becomes thunder. The sky is angry and roars, and thunder roars. The messenger belongs to the earth, and one qi flows in the Huangting. He transforms into the Thunder God and controls the five thunders."

Qiu Zhen comprehended the spell [Five Thunder God Cloud Art] and had a vague understanding. Then, he showed a slight surprise:

"Is this thunder technique passed down by Master Bai Yuchan?"

Fairy Yunrou said proudly:

"Yes, it was passed down by an immortal named Bai Yuchan. How about it? It must be of great origin."
