The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 3 Soul Point
"Mom, that idiot has returned to normal. Do you think Dad will dislike me anymore in the future..."

Inside the inner quarters of the Li Mansion, a noble lady dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a golden hairpin was sitting on a chair in the room. Next to her was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen, who looked nervous and was telling something to the noble lady.

This noble lady was Li Yan’s second mother, Zhao Xueyan, and the young man was his son Li Ze, who was also Li Yan’s illegitimate brother.

Ever since Li Yan became mentally ill, his father has paid less attention to Li Yan and has shown more preference for Li Ze.

After all, the Hengjiang Li family would never allow a foolish person to be the head of the family.

But now that Li Yan has returned to normal, Li Ze began to worry that Li Yan would steal his father's love for him.

"Don't worry, Ze'er. I won't let Li Yan take your things away. You are the only one who can inherit the Li family in the future."

Zhao Xueyan said calmly with her heavily made-up face.

"Thank you, mother!"

Li Ze looked at Zhao Xueyan with gratitude, but his eyes happened to meet his mother's eyes. That fierce look scared him and he was filled with fear.

It was the first time he felt that his mother was so terrible.

……

"Is this the way it is?"

In the room, Li Yan felt that after he refined the 365th strand of life energy, the life energy in his body was like countless fireflies that continued to gather and finally gathered together to form a fireball, illuminating the dark space.

The seven dark shadows in the body were attracted by the fireball and were ready to move.

He was thoughtful and realized that he had already refined the first life energy that he could control.

After refining a stream of life energy, the next step is to ignite the soul.

Humans have seven souls, each with its own function.

After the soul is activated, its functions can be brought into full play.

And the seven souls are closely related to the human body.

After the soul is enlightened, the practitioner's body will also undergo a transformation, increasing strength and becoming stronger.

This is how you maintain your life, and it is also the first realm of a practitioner.

Li Yan controlled the life energy according to the method of Point Soul and flew towards the black shadow representing the first soul corpse dog.

In a flash, the life energy poured into the first soul.

In an instant, the life energy was like a human-shaped oil lamp that was lit, and the first soul began to emit a bright red light.

In the quiet and dark space, the first soul emitted a faint red light, directly illuminating the surrounding space into a bright area of ten feet in radius.

Li Yan opened his eyes and felt as if there was a fire burning inside his body. A warm current flowed upward from the soles of his feet and wandered around his body.

He felt as if he had become a little stronger.

The mind becomes clearer.

He spread out his palms, and with a thought, a light red life energy suddenly surged out from his palms and turned into a light red flame, burning fiercely in his palms.

Li Yan was extremely excited, this was real extraordinary power.

I didn't expect he could master it so easily.

I just don't know how powerful this flame is.

Li Yan thought in his heart, he found a piece of white paper and placed it on the burning flame in his palm.

"..."

The flames burned fiercely, but they could not ignite the white paper.

Li Yan didn't believe it and tried many other items, but none of them could be ignited.

A bucket of cold water was immediately poured on his heart.

Although this pale red flame is strong, it seems to have no effect on real objects.

Li Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He has just refined a trace of life energy and soul, and perhaps because his life energy is too little, the flame cannot affect real objects.

Perhaps when his life energy is sufficient and his first soul is fully lit up, things will be different.

"The life energy I have refined now is still too little."

Li Yan sighed and looked outside. It was getting late. He felt a little hungry, so he asked the maid to get some food.

He walked out of the room and stood under the eaves, with bright moonlight shining down.

The little maid came towards him with a red paper umbrella and a lunch box in her hand, smiling.

You need to bring an umbrella when you go out on a moonlit night! Li Yan remembered this doggerel and couldn't help but raise his head again and look up at the sky.

The moon is dim tonight, and the pale red moon exudes an eerie aura.

"Red Moon?"

"Why is the moon red?"

"No, it's not that the moon has turned red, but I can now see the life energy. It is the life energy that has dyed the moon red!"

Li Yan took a deep breath. He saw countless light red life energies gathering together in the sky of the city and floating high into the sky. The red moon seemed to have opened its big mouth and swallowed up the life energies.

A person's life has a certain number of breaths, which is called his destiny.

Once your life is over, even gods cannot save you.

At this moment, the destiny that Li Yan felt in his body was rapidly flowing out after being illuminated by the moonlight and flying towards the sky.

Then, the life energy in the first soul that he cultivated began to circulate on its own, transforming into a layer of light red light film that protected his body.

This conceals one's own fate.

The moonlight accelerates the fate of people. In other words, it shortens their lifespan.

No wonder they say you need to carry an umbrella when going out at night!

Without a paper umbrella to shelter the body and protect the vital energy, an ordinary person would lose at least half his lifespan under the moonlight.

What kind of strange world is this?

Li Yan felt his scalp tingling. He didn't dare to stay in the moonlight any longer and quickly turned around and went into the room.

The joy of having just cultivated a life energy disappeared at this moment.

……

"Do you want me to attack Li Yan again?"

In a house near the Li Mansion, a man shrouded in a black robe frowned and looked at the lady in front of him.

"Li Yan is no longer stupid now. If he is safe and sound, Ze'er's position may be in jeopardy."

"After all, Li Yan is the eldest son."

The noble lady turned out to be Li Yan's second mother. If Li Yan returned to normal, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to her son.

So she wanted to cut off this threat again.

"..."

"The last time I cursed him, the Li family's luck backfired and I lost ten years of my cultivation. Unless you can lure Li Yan out of the Li family, I won't take action!"

The man said in a firm tone.

For a practitioner, how precious is ten years of cultivation?
Even now, the man still feels a pain in his heart when he thinks about the fact that he lost ten years of cultivation just to deal with a little kid.

However, for the sake of his plan, he was still willing to take another shot.

But not in Li’s house.

"Don't worry, I'll try to lure him out."

Zhao Xueyan smiled, and the man was dazed for a moment.

……

Hengjiang Prefecture.

The prefect's residence.

Li Ke excitedly told her husband Song Xing the news that her brother was no longer mentally retarded.

Song Xing had been troubled by the Black Sun disaster recently. When he heard the good news, he nodded repeatedly and was happy for Li Ke.

He knew that Li Ke had devoted a lot of effort to his younger brother, and now his mission had finally come to fruition.

"I see you've been going to the government office every day recently, could it be that the Black Sun disaster will continue to come?"

Li Ke asked Song Xing in confusion, feeling a little nervous.

She knew that the Black Sun disaster had caused many unnecessary deaths in Hengjiang Prefecture, and now the government offices in Hengjiang were extremely busy.

If the Black Sun disaster happens again, it will be troublesome.

"It's hard to say. Besides, after the disaster, some evil spirits have appeared in Hengjiang Prefecture in the past few days. I have decided to hold a prefecture god ceremony in Hengjiang Prefecture and invite various magicians to slay the demons and exorcise the ghosts."

Song Xing sighed. He had originally wanted to make great achievements in Hengjiang Prefecture, but he didn't expect to encounter such a disaster not long after taking office. He was really unlucky.
