Shennong Sequence

Chapter 268: The Shinto sequence that condenses the essence of longevity; the blood poison that devours the body is planted

"Junior Zhao Yun, greetings to Master Longze!"

When Zhao Yun received the information conveyed by Grand Minister of Agriculture Jing through the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, he acted decisively, put aside all matters, and quickly went to the Grand Minister of Agriculture's Palace!

Go and meet the master behind Master Jing Da Sinong - Master Longze of the Temple of Spring.

According to the information Zhao Yun had learned from various books in the Heritage Hall recently, the sequence of cultivation realms had clear levels and titles:

A Sequence 6 cultivator can be called a Demi-Immortal or Mage.
A Sequence 5 monk can be called a True Person;
Sequence 4 cultivators are respectfully called True Lords.

In addition, in the three realms from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, the increase in the realm of cultivation does not significantly improve lifespan.

For example, a Sequence 150 cultivator can probably live to the natural lifespan limit of 200 years; a Sequence 7 cultivator, as long as he is not hindered by physiological factors, can live for about 500 years under normal circumstances; a Sequence cultivator can generally live up to years.

However, advancing from Sequence 7 to Sequence 6 is a qualitative leap in life!
Furthermore, a cultivator of Sequence 6 can be called a semi-immortal, and the rate of increase in lifespan increases sharply to a thousand years.

Of course, this thousand years is just a general data. For those practitioners who are proficient in the art of health preservation, a thousand years is just a basic value. They can even rely on health preservation exercises to live up to 1500 or even 1700 years!
If one adds the longevity-prolonging spiritual power, precious pills, spiritual fruits, etc., it is not impossible for a Sequence 6 Semi-Immortal to live for more than 2000 years, or even 5000 years...

And speaking of lifespan alone, practitioners of the old methods are far from that.

In addition, there are several special paths of cultivation that can grant one immortality even if one is at Sequence 9.

Just like the Shinto sequence!
Or some more special and rare sequence pathways, such as: weird, evil, etc.

The typical example of those who were able to obtain immortality that Zhao Yun encountered was the mountain god Lin of Yan Guiling Mountain and the group of Yin gods under his command!

Relying on the power of the rules and authority of mountains, rivers and the earth, they condense the essence of immortality and achieve immortality.

In addition, some ancient books in the Heritage Hall record that the city gods in various towns and various ghost gods in the underworld also belong to the Shinto system and can also gain immortality.

However, the world is now in a state of spiritual decline and is in the Dharma Ending Age!
This results in the phenomenon of turbid air spreading.

However, the city god systems that rely on the faith of all living beings are most afraid of being polluted by foul air. Once the Dharma body is seriously polluted, the will will be polluted, and eventually it will fall into some bloody evil creatures.

Although the evil gods can also live forever, their own will and soul are no longer in their original state, which means that to a certain extent, their bodies and souls are also destroyed.

Moreover, this kind of death, where one falls and becomes a divine evil and perishes, will not lead to subsequent reincarnation!

It is more of a way of dying in which one's soul is scattered and his true spirit is annihilated.

For a monk, this is the most horrific way to die!
After all, if reincarnation is possible, then there will be a time to return, which is at least a faint hope...

As for the underworld, Zhao Yun discovered, based on the information he saw in the Inheritance Hall, that it was in a completely opposite state to the world of the living.

For example: when the spiritual energy of the Yang world fades, the balance between heaven and earth will infuse endless spiritual energy into the Yin world, and the Yin world will then prosper; and when the spiritual energy of the Yang world continues to improve, the spiritual energy of the Yin world will fade, and turbid air will fill the air. This is a great cycle between heaven and earth.

And the theory behind it is even more profound, but Zhao Yun has not yet been able to comprehend more of the mysteries of reincarnation.

As for strong men like Long Ze Zhen Jun who are at Sequence 5 or even Sequence 4, their lifespans are even more difficult to count.

Therefore, judging from lifespan alone, a cultivator of Sequence 6 is worthy of the title of Semi-Immortal.

After all, if one knows how to maintain health and takes some longevity medicine, one can live for another three to five thousand years, be able to watch the changes in the world, and experience the rise and fall of several civilizations in the mortal world. How can one not deserve the title of half-immortal?
So at this moment,
Zhao Yun came to the Grand Minister of Agriculture Hall with its carved beams and painted rafters, and saw that the person sitting in the seat of honor was the Grand Minister of Agriculture Jing, an old man with a dignified demeanor but with white hair and a youthful face.

In an instant, Zhao Yun remembered that Jing Da Si Nong had specifically stated through the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth that Master Long Ze had arrived, and reminded him to come and meet him.

Therefore, the person sitting in the seat of honor is Lord Longze!
After Zhao Yun saluted respectfully, he looked up at Jing Da Si Nong, then continued to look at the man with white hair and a youthful face in the upper position, and secretly marveled in his heart that this was an old senior who had lived for at least three to five thousand years. In front of him, he still had to be cautious.

True Lord Longze looked at Zhao Yun with a sharp gaze and spoke slowly:
"Zhao Yun, I see that you have already cultivated to the level of a Sequence 8 Farming Master. But in terms of your foundation, because the quality of the Daotong Pill you consumed is not perfect, there is still a slight gap between your foundation and yours. You want to be my disciple, but your foundation has these minor flaws. That won't work."

"But fortunately, there is a way to make up for the foundation. When you open up spiritual fields in the future, don't follow the instructions in the secret plan. Just open up and cultivate spiritual fields according to the minimum standards."

"If you want to make up for the lack of foundation of Daotong Pill, you must at least double the number of spiritual fields you cultivate, and then use the extra Wu Earth Spirits you refine to make up for the shortcomings of the Daotong Pill you took when you were promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8."

"This is also the price of an unstable foundation. We will need to spend a lot of resources to make up for it later... Don't be greedy for small gains in the future."

"In addition, I see the aura in your body, and you have already mastered the Four Basic Laws of Human Beings. As a Sequence Nine, you mainly practiced the Four Basic Laws of the Earthly Faction, and now you are a Sequence Eight, you mainly practice the Four Basic Laws of Human Beings and Factions... If you can use the theory of the Four Basic Laws of Human Beings and Factions to refine a technique that is close to the path of enlightenment and the creation of laws between heaven and earth, I will accept you as my personal disciple!"

"Moreover, this direct discipleship can allow you to be ranked as a reserve Daozi in the Spring Temple. When you are about to be promoted to Sequence 6 in the future, you can go to the Spring Temple and compete for the position of Sequence Daozi."

"If you can pass the trial and win the position of Daozi, the resources for refining Daotong Pills, arranging rituals, and other resources between Sequence 7 and Sequence 6, or even Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, will definitely be allocated at the top level!"

“Otherwise, relying solely on the Dharma-Ending environment in the outside world, it would be extremely difficult to find those high-level Daoist Pill refining materials!

In other words, this world of the end of the law environment can't produce such high-level materials at all..." "So, try your best, I am optimistic about your future!"

"But for now, before you complete your foundation, you can just be my registered disciple..."

Zhao Yun didn't expect that this Lord Longze would raise questions and analyze them right away, and then accept him as a registered disciple.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was secretly wondering in his heart, isn't there usually a procedure for becoming a disciple?

Could it be that this nominal disciple of a Sequence 4 boss is so worthless that he just promised it so casually?
For a moment, Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling a little disappointed...

But if you think about it carefully, the inheritance of this new sequence of methods seems to have greatly weakened the way of inheritance to disciples.

After all, all practitioners follow a set of ceremonies, rituals, Taoist pills, etc. during the process of advancement in their sequence. No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. There is no so-called inheritance of skills, and naturally there are no factions formed due to the classification of skills.

Therefore, without the process of passing on skills, the connection between master and disciple, and between sect and individual, has been greatly weakened.

For a moment, Zhao Yun was really a little unsure. Apart from having the title of a Sequence 4 master in front of him, what other substantial benefits were there to taking Long Ze Zhenjun as his master?

Then, Jing Yuchan, who was standing by, saw Zhao Yun standing there in a daze, so he reminded him:
"Junior Brother Zhao, my master, True Lord Longze, has two direct disciples and more than 30 other disciples. As for you, there are only two registered disciples, and you are one of them. This is very rare. In addition, release Xin Ruyin and let Master Long see how to deal with her problems."

Speaking of 'problems'.

Zhao Yun also thought of the two hidden dangers that the Xiang family had placed on him:
First, it oppresses the spirit and puts oneself in a state of lower intelligence;
The other is the luck that is in the destiny, which is a little bit inclined towards the northern Canglan Grassland...

Especially this abnormality in luck. Even though it hasn't caused anything abnormal to Zhao Yun now, once it breaks out, Zhao Yun will definitely suffer a great loss.

Therefore, Zhao Yun actually wanted to get rid of this abnormality in his luck urgently!

And now that I have become a registered disciple, the master must at least give me some benefits, right?
Without saying too much, if you can eliminate these hidden dangers in your own home, you will make a profit!
Then, Zhao Yun respectfully bowed again and said to Master Longze: "Master, Xin Ruyin does have a lot of problems. Do we need to activate the formation to shield her or something? In addition, Master, I have problems too. Can you help me get rid of these external forces?"

"Haha, you are quite clever." Master Longze chuckled, "I can see three problems with you!"

"One is a little bit of your luck. I have calculated this time. Although there are dangers, you will also gain a lot if you get through it. It was a blessing in disguise! So whether to clear it up depends on your thoughts."

"As for the strange power that you mentioned that oppressed your spirit, I can tell you for sure that it was not just the physiognomists who took action, but also the Confucians who were good at speaking. The power of the two mixed together, which made your thinking suddenly slow at certain times and made you make frequent mistakes. But you have the Golden Light Curse on you. Under my care, you can practice it slowly, and it will be a kind of tempering..."

"As for the last abnormality in your body, it's because the Gu Master put a blood Gu in your body... Have you ever provoked the person who practices witchcraft among the Nanman in the south before?"

As Master Longze was narrating, he lightly pinched his hands, and a small blood-red insect that was shining with crystal clearness was gently kneaded between Master Longze's hands.

But Zhao Yun felt nothing about what Lord Longze said about the blood poison that was planted on his body!
Moreover, he had practiced the Golden Light Mantra, which allowed him to sense the abnormal external evil within himself when the golden light flowed through his body. He had even sensed the abnormal external evil in his spirit and luck. However, he had not even noticed the slightest abnormality of this so-called living blood parasite...

In addition, if there is such a living thing in your body, even if the golden light cannot detect it, your mental power, magic power, divinity, flesh and blood perception, life magnetic field perception and other means should be able to detect clues when you self-examine yourself!
So, there is something wrong with my perception?

Or is it that this blood Gu really has powerful hidden means?
Or is it that Master Longze is just talking nonsense and trying to scare me?
But it's not justifiable to scare people.

Long Ze Zhenjun's status is here. Even if he feels unhappy seeing me, he can just let me go away and not accept me as a disciple...

There's no need to go to such lengths.

Besides, there was nothing about him that was worthy of a Sequence 4 True Lord's attention.

and so……

Zhao Yun felt that it was the blood Gu, which might be so powerful that it was beyond his perception!
"Master, I was born in Binzhou, Beiliang, and have traveled all the way here until now. I have never been to the south, let alone met those barbarians in the south. I should not get into trouble with some weird wizards or poison masters." Zhao Yun responded respectfully.

"That's weird?"

Long Ze Zhenjun asked in confusion, and then looked at the blood poison on his finger:
"I can tell there's a bit of Sequence 4 aura in this blood Gu. Of course, this blood Gu isn't some kind of Immortal Gu, but it can still block the little bit of Golden Light Curse you're practicing.

In addition, it sucks your blood, devours your flesh, and completely merges with your body's aura and everything else. Some of your senses are also unable to detect this blood poison.

If I hadn’t been here today, I’m afraid that when the blood parasite had eaten up all your skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, you probably wouldn’t have felt too abnormal. At most, you would just feel a little weak and out of control…”

Lord Longze spoke lightly, but when it came to Jing Yuchan and Zhao Yun's hearts, it was as if a heavy burden was pressing down on them.

Zhao Yun in particular bore enormous pressure!
Among the people at the fourth level of the sequence, Zhao Yun had only met Master Longze so far.

As for the mountain god Lin from Yan Gui Ling Mountain, who had a relatively strong strength and background, Zhao Yun guessed that his realm in his previous life might have been Sequence Four.

But after his death, he was pardoned and became the mountain god of Yangui Lingshan, and was granted immortality to avoid the end of the law environment where spiritual energy was fading. However, his current realm was reduced to a Shinto monk of sequence five due to the transformation of the sequence path.
