Shennong Sequence

"True pills? That's a bit far off." Zhao Yun, standing atop the Five Elements Clouds, said with some regret. Then he brought up the matter of the pork: "Junior sister, I remember we both ate Five Blessings Pork once. Back then, it was said that it would bring five blessings to one's life!"

"That's right. Before entering the mountain, inner disciples will eat Five Blessings Pork to dispel the darkness of the outside world. It also symbolizes that after entering the mountain, they will be free from worldly dust and enjoy the blessings of immortality!"

However, the Five Blessings Pork we ate back then was just ordinary young pork, with at most an added blessing to improve our luck for a period of time.

In addition, I have also heard that many gamblers like to buy some "Five Blessings Pigs" before gambling, slaughter them, cook them, fry them, stir-fry them, etc., and eat them to increase their good fortune before gambling..." As Wang Tian spoke, she became a bit gossipy and revealed a lot of things.

"If eating Five Blessings Pork increases one's fortune, wouldn't the casino lose money?" Zhao Yun asked casually.

Wang Tian, ​​however, spoke as if revealing a secret, "Hehe, I heard from a friend that while customers have ways to increase their luck, casinos have ways to decrease it! Between increasing and decreasing, it's still the same skill..."

Of course, whether it's a casino or a game like guessing stones, there will always be a few lucky winners who slip through the cracks, creating a buzz to lure others into gambling. This not only enhances the casino's reputation but also boosts the fame of the "Five Lucky Pigs" channel...

In short, there are many interests involved behind this!

When Wang Tian got to this point, she paused, then muttered to herself, "Hmm~ no, I can't tell you so much, senior brother, or you'll pick up bad habits too!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh. He raised his arm, curled his fingers, and prepared to tap her little head, but then looked at the hairpin bun on Wang Tian's head and realized there was nowhere to tap. So he switched hands and pinched her soft little face instead.

"And you're talking about me, your senior brother? Where did you get all this information from? Aren't you afraid you'll go astray yourself?"

Although Wang Tian let her senior brother gently pinch her cheeks, she puffed out her cheeks and retorted, "I'm just actively gathering information. When you reach Foundation Establishment, we can find a quiet and easy job in the sect and continue cultivating in the mountains..."

However, when it comes to cultivation, Zhao Yun had a different feeling about his junior sister's talent and believed that her talent was definitely stronger than his own!
otherwise,
He had just finished eating a meal of the flesh of the 'Primordial Calamity Beast Fei Yi' and completed the condensation of the essence flower.

Immediately afterward, this junior sister, without eating anything, was able to condense the essence flower.

The timing of this cultivation breakthrough was almost perfectly timed.

Either he's a top student who's incredibly good at controlling his grades, or... well, Zhao Yun couldn't find any other explanation.

So this junior sister truly loves him!

She was afraid that if she cultivated too quickly, her senior brother would be secretly annoyed, but at the same time, she wouldn't let her cultivation level fall too far behind his, since their progress was about the same...

Afterwards, Zhao Yun and his junior sister rode together on the five-colored clouds of the Five Elements, traveling leisurely and enjoying themselves atop the mountains. Moreover, the inner disciples of the Wanling lineage were all those with "at least all five elements complete" spiritual roots, and their specialized Five Elements Cloud magic from the "Five Elements Returning to Origin Scripture" produced extremely fast escape light. The journey of a thousand miles, including sightseeing and travel, took only a little over two hours.

Even if Zhao Yun were to use various magical artifacts in the future, during the Dharma-ending Age, he still wouldn't be able to fly this fast!
Of course, that excludes the immortal treasures: the Wind and Thunder Immortal Wings, and the fifth-order puppet soldiers, etc., because they are too overpowered for the early stages of the old and new magic systems!

Just take the old method right now: with the cultivation level of Qi Refining eleventh level and opening three flowers, relying solely on the methods contained in the Five Elements Returning to Origin Scripture of the starting chapter of the Wanling lineage's "Wanling Guiyi Tianyi Xianjing" (The Scripture of the Return of All Spirits to the Heavenly Will Immortal Scripture), the journey has already been so fast... The vast distance of ten thousand miles in the world is only a day's journey!

This also shows that the Qi Refining stage of this old method is not as weak as the name suggests!

Furthermore, based on the information Zhao Yun currently possesses, Qi Refining should be the second stage of cultivation, while Essence Refining is the initial first step!
The outer sect of the Myriad Spirits Imperial Immortal Sect also accepts some people who have no spiritual roots but have great fortune or excellent comprehension!
Those without spiritual roots do not begin by relying on the powerful control of spiritual energy to advance to the Qi Refining realm. Instead, they need to go through the more classical cultivation process of 'refining essence into Qi' first!

The most important aspect of this Refining Essence realm is nourishing life, then tempering the physical body, refining essence and energy, cultivating blood and qi, and continuing to refine the skin, flesh, tendons, fascia, bones, organs, marrow, blood, etc., growing rapidly until finally becoming a Blood Martial Saint, then blasting open the two bridges of heaven and earth in the human body, opening up the inner and outer realms.
This can then forge the 'Root of Heaven and Earth'—a blessing bestowed by Heaven through a sliver of grace left by the Way of Heaven!
Similarly, this is why many people with weak spiritual roots do not directly pursue the Qi Refining realm. Instead, they seal their spiritual roots, undergo the Refining Essence process, and reshape their spiritual roots to make them stronger. This is a choice many outer disciples make to enhance their talents!

Of course, Zhao Yun wasn't thinking about forging the 'Root of Heaven and Earth' in the future Dharma-ending Age.

After all, the five elements of his immortal spiritual roots had already been refined into the five-colored auspicious clouds by the yellow cloth, which could be brought back to the future!
There's no need to go to the trouble of refining essence or forging the 'root of heaven and earth'.

Zhao Yun realized that the reason for this Refining Essence Realm was that when one reached the Blood Martial Saint stage and opened up the two bridges of the physical body and the heaven and earth, the power of the physical body alone could reach the point where one's fist could suppress mountains, shatter islands, and overturn rivers and seas.

Therefore, the more Zhao Yun learned about the cultivation methods in the old and ancient times, the more he felt that the new sequence of methods had been completely emasculated!
He had already reached the eighth level of the Sequence and refined so much spiritual essence of heaven and earth, yet his maximum magical power was only 6000.
Are you kidding me?

And if you cast more spells, your mana will be depleted...

Go play with your ass!

Furthermore, this extraordinary method, which allowed ordinary people to cultivate the 'Root of Heaven and Earth' and embark on the Great Dao, was ultimately replaced by a new sequential method where advancement was 'limited at every step'...

It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on here!
Therefore, Zhao Yun felt that although the promotion ceremony to the position of Agricultural Director was very simple at his current stage,
But that's because he was useful to King Mu, had status, and was a disciple of a Sequence 4 True Lord, belonging to the same sect as the Grand Minister of Agriculture of a continent, which allowed him to succeed so smoothly.

Otherwise, without a background or power, like Master Sun, who graduated from the academy with a seemingly bright future, ended up raising horses and war beasts in a border garrison...

Fortunately, Zhao Yun also gave Sun Shi a helping hand, and now it's about time for him to advance to Sequence Seven! (End of Chapter)
