People in Jiejiao practice Taoism and become gods

Chapter 4 [Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot, an unexpected surprise]

In the center of the cave, there is a fairy apricot tree, standing with wind and thunder. The Tao essence is intertwined in the void, and the branches full of thunder are bearing two blood-red apricots.

"Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot!"

"It takes no effort at all!"

This cave is only ten thousand miles in radius. With the eyesight of a person at the Xuanqing Golden Immortal realm, one can naturally see the innate spiritual root standing in the center of the cave at a glance.

Of course, in this cave, the innate spiritual energy is rich, and there are many spiritual roots and immortal herbs growing there, such as red fruit, earth marrow ganoderma and tranquilizing mind flower. It can be said that there is everything, like stars in the sky, scattered all over the cave. It is like a treasure land waiting for Xuanqing to explore carefully.

"Go get the fairy apricot first!"

The Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot, one of the ten best innate spiritual roots, was right in front of him. Xuan Qing didn't care about other spiritual roots and herbs, and immediately rode the sword to the center of the cave.

Anyway, they are just some acquired spiritual roots, can they run away by themselves?

Unlike the lush scene at the edge of the cave, in the center of the cave, because of the growth of the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot, a bolt of lightning would fall from the sky or a gust of wind would blow from time to time, but no other spiritual roots grew.

On the contrary, the fairy stones on the ground have absorbed some of the wind and thunder essence due to years of erosion by the power of wind and thunder, and have developed some magical properties.

"It's a good material for refining weapons. I'll take it back to Senior Brother Duobao!" Xuan Qing summoned his flying sword and casually cut off a few pieces of fairy stones of good quality. Then he used his magical power to put them into his sleeves. "The journey was safe and smooth without any setbacks. It was all thanks to the Golden Cloud Crown that he lent me. Now I'll give it to him as a gift to thank him!"

Although it is the duty of senior brothers to take care of junior brothers, it is not good to always owe favors to others. If too many favors accumulate, it will inevitably damage the friendship between the two.

The right way is to have give and take.

This is also the reason why Xuanqing made friends with many of his fellow disciples, and even some disciples of the Chan sect.

After collecting some immortal stones containing the power of wind and thunder, Xuan Qing went straight to the immortal apricot tree and picked two blood-red immortal apricots from the branch.

He looked at it for a moment, then decisively swallowed the two immortal apricots together. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and used the Shangqing Heart Method to refine the fragments of the Dao in the immortal apricots.

The reason why innate spiritual roots are called innate spiritual roots is that they, like innate spiritual treasures, contain all kinds of strange and bizarre fragments of the laws of the universe.

The fruit it bears is the essence of its body and often takes several kalpas to grow.

As for the Immortal Apricot, as one of the ten best innate spiritual roots, the fruit it bears is even more extraordinary. After refining it, it can not only increase the cultivation and magic power, but also condense the prototype of the Wind and Thunder Dao Seed.

Even though it is just a prototype, it is the key to advancement to Daluo. Among a hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals, not only one can condense this thing by himself.

Or, comprehend the great way of heaven and earth!
Or, listen to the powerful teachings!
Or, one could be like Xuan Qing and swallow and refine some spiritual fruit that contains fragments of the Great Dao!
There is no difference in superiority or inferiority among the three, but there is a difference in difficulty. After swallowing the fairy apricot, Xuanqing condensed an innate wind and thunder body. In the future, when he comprehends the way of wind and thunder, it can be said that he can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Not to mention, he was a disciple of the saint and often had the opportunity to see the saint, listen to the saint's sermons, and feel the various Taoist connotations flowing in the saint's every move.

"Boom!"

Around Xuan Qing, the sense of wind and thunder was rippling, as if a golden bell was ringing and the avenue was roaring, rapidly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to forge a flawless immortal body for him.

While the power of wind and thunder was tempering his Golden Immortal body, it was also cleansing his Golden Immortal spirit, refining the false into the true, and laying the foundation for his future promotion to Daluo.

There are also two Tao seeds floating in the depths of his soul. As soon as the three flowers are complete and the five energies are harmonious, they will begin to grow and transform into the Wind and Thunder Avenue.

The Golden Crow flies and the Jade Rabbit walks.

There was no sun or moon in the cave, but the sky was bright. Xuan Qing was immersed in cultivation and lost track of time. In the blink of an eye, decades had passed. His cultivation level had also been promoted from the middle stage of the Golden Immortal to the perfect Golden Immortal. He was only one step away from condensing the innate ancestral qi and successfully entering the Taiyi realm.

The fragments of the Great Dao in the two immortal apricots turned into true seeds, floating in the depths of his soul, as if trying to nurture a magical power with the power of wind and thunder.

"Not urgent!"

With the foundation laid by the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot and the Wind and Thunder Taoist Body that evolved from it, in terms of qualifications, even if he has not yet caught up with Duobao Taoist and Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the gap is already very close!
The reason why he didn't break through Taiyi in one breath was, firstly, he wanted to consolidate his foundation, and secondly, Kunlun Mountain was the ancestral vein of all mountains, and the innate ancestral Qi was extremely rich, so there would be greater benefits in breaking through Taiyi there.

This is the benefit of inheritance.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Qing plundered Zhongnan Cave Heaven completely. No matter if it was innate spiritual objects or acquired elixirs, he did not let go of anything that had a little value. Although they were not valuable now, they would become rare things in the future when Mount Buzhou collapsed and the innate spiritual energy was completely cut off!
Finally, he set his sights on the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot. As a top-grade innate spiritual root, in addition to the fruit it produces being able to help people condense the seeds of Tao, it can also suppress luck itself, making it an extremely rare treasure.

Of course, it is definitely inferior to innate treasures such as the Tai Chi Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell, but how many such treasures are there in total?

Didn’t see it…

Doesn’t Tongtian Sect Master have it?

Xuan Qing pondered for a moment, looking at the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot in front of him: "This tree is a top-grade innate spiritual root, and it is of great value. I can refine it into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure! But this is a bit of a waste of heaven's gift! Offering it to Master Tongtian to suppress the fate of Jiejiao is the best choice!"

In the future, even if thousands of immortals come to pay homage to Jiejiao, one top-grade innate spiritual root will be difficult to suppress. But before Xuanqing left the mountain, Jiejiao had only about a hundred disciples. The future situation is uncertain, but with the quality of the Wind and Thunder Immortal Apricot, it is more than enough to suppress the current luck of Jiejiao, in Xuanqing's opinion.

As for the innate spiritual treasure?

As a direct disciple of Master Tongtian, if he can make his teacher happy, would he still be short of innate spiritual treasures?
Thinking of this, Xuan Qing immediately activated his magical powers and tried to collect the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot, bring it back to Kunlun Mountain, and present it to Tongtian Sect Master who lacked something to suppress his luck.

But suddenly, he stopped, looked at the soil under the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot, and laughed heartily: "I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise!"

"Right!"

"How could such a top-grade innate spiritual root grow in ordinary soil?"

The soil that gave birth to the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot was not ordinary soil, but the legendary Jiutian Xirang, known as the soil of life. It can give birth to all things in the world and has the ability to give birth to endless life. It is also the thing used by Nuwa to create humans.

He learned Nuwa's "Creation Huiyuan Gong", and because of his family background, he can be considered half-descendant of Nuwa. If he can comprehend it thoroughly in the future and find a magical object like the Three Lights Divine Water, he may be able to emulate Nuwa's creation clan.

He didn't want to abandon the human race and start an independent clan, he just envied the work of the Creator.

Nuwa has merit in creating human beings!
The Styx also has merit in creating the Asura clan!
If he could create a race that was in harmony with heaven and earth and beneficial to the ancient world, he might not dare to hope to become a saint, but it would be enough for him to condense the golden wheel of merit that even saints would be afraid of.

That way...

He now has a life-saving trump card!

Although he has some merits now, they are not enough to make the saints wary.

Of course, the more of that thing, the better.

Thinking of this, Xuan Qing immediately used his magic power to collect the Nine Heavens Xirang surrounding the Fenglei Xianxing, and also put this innate spiritual root into his sleeve.
