Shennong Sequence

Chapter 57: New Laws, Old Laws Era, Breaking: The Tribulation of Entering Taoism

"Okay, come down and rest for a while before proceeding to the next stage of the ceremony, so as not to affect the entire ceremony if you are in poor condition later."

"Hey, good!"

Zhao Yun carried the hoe and looked up at the round disk in the sky that was shining with soft moonlight, feeling the cool silver light shining on his body.

Tonight is definitely a good sign!
Afterwards, he walked down the hillside for a while and happened to meet Liu Ming, who had also reclaimed an acre of land and was walking down to rest.

When the two young men came in front of the two old men.

The two old men began to talk seriously:

"Wait a minute, you two take the Daotong Pill and sit between the cultivated fields and take it."

"When you take it, you must carefully experience the strange and fantastic world that the Daotong Pill leads you into under the blessing of the heaven and earth ritual."

"Remember, there may be things in that illusion that you find difficult to understand, but you must keep all the scenes in mind."

"Because this dreamlike scene involves the Tao!"

"It will be of great help to your future cultivation and understanding, and the use and control of the power of heaven and earth. It will help you avoid many detours on the road of cultivation!"

"These illusions will help you gain a deeper understanding of the world as your realm improves... and they may even help you comprehend some miraculous magical powers."

“Therefore, you must not underestimate the illusion brought about by this Daotong Pill!”

"When both of your minds have recovered, your bodies will have basically been transformed by the Daotong Pill."

"This transformation will allow magic power to grow in your bodies, allowing you to have some of the abilities you learned in the illusion as instincts!"

"Then, you need to select ninety-nine spiritual plant seeds from the prepared ones and plant them one by one in the cultivated fields." "And use the strange power derived from your bodies to gather the vitality of these spiritual plant seeds and urge them to sprout and grow!"

"At the same time, you two need to fetch some water so that the spiritual seeds can fully absorb moisture and prepare to sprout and break through the soil."

"When more than half of these spiritual plant seeds are able to sprout and break through the soil, the entire ceremony will be completed and it will reach the final stage."

"As for the last two steps, the first is to determine your respective ritual spirit plants. These are the spirit plants that will accompany you until the end and have the potential to continue growing."

"Of course, when you advance in the sequence later, there will be ritual spiritual plants for you to choose from. So even if the spiritual plants you choose this time are not suitable, there will still be a chance to make up for it in the future..."

"However, the spiritual plant for the ritual chosen for the first time can advance all the way to the end."

"And each time you advance in the sequence, the spiritual plant you choose for the ritual will naturally have one less chance of advancement than the previous spiritual plant... The gap between the ranks will be very obvious."

"So, you must carefully choose the path that you think is best. Unless the spiritual plant seeds we gave you fail to hatch, you can choose other spiritual plants. Don't make a mistake..."

"As for the last step of the ceremony, the great power of heaven and earth will be sent down to use the spiritual seeds that you have planted to help you cleanse your body again and stamp it with the mark of heaven and earth!"

"Okay, I'll remember that!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Zhao Yun listened very carefully to the instructions given by Old Man Sun and Old Man Hua in turn, and kept them in mind.

After all, he was not like Old Man Sun, who entered the Shendu Academy of the Great Zhou when he was studying, and had a teacher who taught him all kinds of farming knowledge for more than ten days.

He was a latecomer who had directly entered this path, and he was still quite lacking in the cultivation of farmers...

Now, he is constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge like a sponge!

"Okay, after taking a break, you can start the final ceremony!" Old Man Sun handed the bag of spiritual plant seeds in his hand to Zhao Yun.

As for the top-grade Taoist Pill and the precious parasitic Blood-sucking Vine, they were naturally kept on Zhao Yun and Old Man Sun had never touched them.

Zhao Yunhuai took the bag of spiritual plant seeds, picked up the hoe, and walked back to the acre of wasteland he had reclaimed.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

The horse manure that Old Man Sun had prepared for him, which had been heated by the ground temperature, had not yet been spread on the field...

Zhao Yun, reflecting the bright moonlight and taking advantage of the upgraded archery skills that transformed his eyes into "eyes as sharp as torches, illuminating mountain spirits", looked at Liu Ming on the other side.

I saw that there was no manure on the land over there.

"That's all! The manure is just the icing on the cake."

Zhao Yun sat cross-legged between the fields, heaven and earth.

He carefully took out a jade box containing the top-grade Taoist elixir from his pocket and gently opened it.

Suddenly, rays of light bloomed before our eyes like gorgeous fireworks.

The refreshing fragrance of elixir is like wisps of smoke, curling around!
Without any hesitation, Zhao Yun picked up the pill and swallowed it directly.

The old man Hua by the field looked at old man Sun in surprise.

"Ouch~!"

Old Man Hua suddenly shouted loudly, then slapped his thigh with a look of annoyance on his face!
As happy as he was just now when he laughed at Old Man Sun, his face felt so itchy now.

"You are so good, old man Sun. Where did you get the top-grade Daotong Pill for your disciple? You just hid it from me and said that you only got a high-grade Daotong Pill. You really fooled me."

Old man Sun's face suddenly changed from the gloomy one just now to a cheerful one:

"Haha~, no, no, this is something that my disciple earned with his own ability. As a teacher, I didn't contribute much."

"Old man Sun, you are too modest. Without your help, how could your disciple have obtained this top-grade Daotong Pill?"

Old Man Hua felt that he was being suppressed by Old Man Sun again!

Then he went on to talk about what he had heard about Zhao Yun from the garrison in the past few days:

"And I heard that your disciple was being bullied by a captain in the garrison. Don't you plan to help him resolve this crisis?"

Old Man Sun shook his head and said bluntly:
"Before the new sequence law was released, in the old law era, every person seeking the Tao had to go through the difficult test of entering the Tao when they had no cultivation, and there was a 60-70% chance that they would die, before they could truly comprehend the Tao."

"After this new sequence of methods is released, every Taoist who has completed the ritual and has acquired various strange abilities and skills will then enter the Dao Tribulation..."

"It is equivalent to delaying the calamity of entering the Dao, and having a certain resistance power of magical powers, the survival rate is much higher..."

"If this calamity of entering the Dao is encountered by a human calamity, it is relatively easy to deal with. Either the person is killed directly, or both parties lose face, or the problem can be resolved by spending some money..."

"But the calamities that the heaven and earth naturally send down upon those who enter the Dao are most likely to encounter monsters such as demons, devils, ghosts, monsters, gods, evildoers, and freaks."

"And even if you and I met the weakest freak, we would still have difficulty dealing with it and would have to run away! Otherwise, how could Wei be harassed by a sneak for so long?"

"So, before the calamity of entering the Dao begins, we need to arrange the cause and effect, and guide the 'calamity of heaven and earth such as demons, ghosts, gods and evil' sent down by the heaven and earth into the simplest calamity for humans!"
