The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 74: Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits, a Year of Harvest

In Zangdao Peak, in the Daoyuan, inside a thatched cottage, two Taoists were sitting around a table.

There was no politeness between the brothers. Xuanxu went straight to the point and said, "I think you already know about Wang's visit to the mountain to apologize. Everything else is easy to deal with. There is only one treasure that you need to take care of yourself."

He took out a jade box from his Ruyi bag, placed it on the table, unsealed it, and revealed a jade bottle. Without waiting for Xuanming to ask, Xuanxu took the initiative to explain, "The jade bottle contains a drop of Chunhua Spiritual Liquid."

Looking at the thing in front of him, Xuanming understood why Xuanxu's voice was heavy. This was indeed a rare treasure. But precisely because it was too good, it would bring more disaster than blessing to the Truth Seeking Temple.

The treasures in the world are divided into four categories: heaven, earth, black and yellow:
Yellow level corresponds to training essence.

The Xuan level corresponds to Qi training.

The earth level corresponds to practicing spirit.

The heavenly level corresponds to a higher level.

The spiritual medicines grown by Xuanyin are of yellow grade, and most of the spiritual medicines and fruits in the Jiaolong treasure are of mysterious grade, but the quality varies among the same grade.

The world is vast, with abundant resources and countless types of spiritual creatures. In the past, the Dasheng Divine Dynasty integrated the spiritual creatures within its territory, selected the three hundred most outstanding ones from each level, and compiled them into four lists, which were changed every sixty years. The three divine dynasties of Daxuan, Dajin and Daqian continued this tradition.

There is a mysterious list in the Jiaolong treasure, which is the relic of a real person, as well as many classics, including ancient books such as "Records of Strange Things" and "Records of the Supernatural", which introduce in detail the habits, appearance, and uses of the spiritual objects on the list.

The list and some classics were placed by Xuanming on the second floor of the Sutra Repository, and Xuanxu would sometimes look through them.

Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits is a treasure that has been included in the list of mysterious spiritual objects of the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty. The Spring Flower Liquid is born in a place with great vitality, extracted from spring thunder, and formed in the Waking of Insects. It can only be obtained after passing the test of heaven and earth.

This thing contains tremendous vitality. If a person whose life is hanging by a thread swallows it, it can lock up the remaining vitality, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and strengthen vitality.

However, the user cannot wake up on his own. Even if he recovers as normal, he can only fall into a deep sleep and needs to take another pill of Qiushi Spirit Liquid.

This creature was born in the autumn when the grass and trees were withered. It intercepted the essence of autumn frost in a place full of death. In order to be born, it also had to go through the test of heaven and earth.

Spring brings flowers and autumn brings fruits, and the harvest is abundant every year.

The two, life and death, fit the true meaning of life and death, just like yin and yang, which when combined can bring back to life and turn flesh and bones into death.

According to legend, five hundred years ago, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou was stationed at the border. He was seriously injured in a battle and was on the verge of death. At this critical moment, he took a drop of Chunhua Liquid.

The Daxuan court, in recognition of his outstanding military achievements and loyalty, specially bestowed a drop of Autumn Fruit Liquid on him, which pulled him back from the brink of death when he was at the Saint Embryo stage. He even received great fortune between life and death and was on the verge of becoming a god.

When the two treasures are combined, their value doubles, ranking among the top ten on the Xuan-level spiritual objects list. To a Qigong practitioner whose life is in danger, it is a life-saving holy object. Even other Qigong practitioners are willing to collect them. After all, as long as they are collected together, it is equivalent to having an extra life, not to mention the hidden opportunities that may be possessed.

It is precisely because he knows this that Xuanxu became worried and solemn after the surprise.

---

"The man is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure. Wang came with great fanfare this time, deliberately offering a valuable treasure. It seems that they are sincere, but in fact they are harboring evil intentions, wanting to kill someone with a borrowed knife. I'm afraid that the news that my Qiuzhen Temple has this Chunhua Liquid has begun to spread."

Although Xuanxu was angry, his rage was not too intense and he was still able to analyze things rationally. This was because since the two families were hostile to each other, Wang's behavior was both unexpected and reasonable.

"Although the Spring Blossom Liquid is precious, it is useless without the Autumn Fruit Liquid. Wang is indeed very scheming."

Xuanming echoed.

This item is the finale, which not only demonstrates sincerity, but also hides a trap, and is carefully laid out. If they did not know the inner mystery of Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits, they would probably be kept in the dark and fall into the trap without knowing anything, let alone being unprepared.

Besides, no one can say that the gift was not good. Wang had put in a lot of effort. Whether he could make the Autumn Fruit Liquid and preserve the Spring Blossom Liquid depended on Qiu Zhenguan's ability. Even if someone smart could see through Wang's plan, they could only see through it but not say it out loud.

He sealed the Chunhua Liquid again with his sleeves and put the jade box into his pocket. Xuanming said calmly, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. I will keep this thing safe. If there are thieves who really covet it, I will not let them succeed."

Xuanxu was delighted: "Brother, do you want to ask that senior to take care of my Qiuzhen Temple?"

Xuanming shook his head: "It is better to rely on yourself than on others. After all, my uncle is an outsider, and he left not long ago to continue traveling around Daxuan, looking for the opportunity to condense the Holy Fetus.

Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself. If I want to seek truth and be stable, I must ultimately rely on my own abilities. "

Xuanxu heard the hidden meaning and asked with a mixture of confusion and surprise, "Could it be that Senior Brother has another way?"

Xuanming said frankly, "When I was in seclusion last time, I made some progress and created a great formation called the Four Symbols Formation.

This formation is based on the Bagua Yiqi Sword Formation, and it follows the path of tracing the origin, from the Bagua back to the Four Symbols. It contains the mysteries of the four symbols of heaven and earth and is extremely powerful. If I am the main formation, and my junior brothers are the auxiliary formation, and other junior brothers help, we can fight the Golden Elixir.

If you can refine the Four Symbols Formation Diagram, it will be even more powerful. Even if you are a golden elixir, you may be trapped or even die. "

As soon as these words came out, Xuanxu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Senior Brother. With the Four Symbols Formation, I will have no worries in the Truth Seeking Temple."

Brother Xuanming has been comprehending the experience and methods of cultivation of the Four Symbols Immortal for a long time, and he has also watched the rain and listened to the thunder for several months, observing the sky and the earth. In addition, there are many Taoist scriptures related to the Four Symbols in the Sutra Library. With his understanding, he created the Four Symbols Formation. Xuanxu was neither surprised nor not surprised, and it was well accepted.

Xuanming waved his hand nonchalantly: "I am also a member of the Qiuzhen Temple, so I should contribute to the sect."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Right now, due to the Wang Sheng case, Qiuzhen Temple, the Chu family, and the Wang family are under much attention. Even if someone really has ill intentions, unless it is extremely urgent, we dare not act rashly within a year or so. We still have time to practice the formation and refine the formation diagram.

Last time I killed the dragon snake, I gained a fortune in the Qiuzhen Temple, and another true person was born. Junior Sister Xuansu may be able to break through during this period and truly enter the door of Qi training."

Xuanxu also thought of this and his brows relaxed as he felt relieved. He then told Xuanming about Wang's other apologies, which were mostly gold, silver and spiritual objects that could be used by cultivators of spiritual practice, which would be of great benefit to the disciples. There were also some Xuan-level spiritual objects, but in small quantities. The value of this gift was mainly raised by the number of Huang-level spiritual objects and Chunhua Liquid.

For the sect, it is both beautiful and practical.

For those who practice Qigong, it is superficial and not real.

Xuanming was not surprised by this.

Because apart from Chunhua Liquid and some Xuan-level spiritual objects, he had already taken a glance at the Huang-level spiritual objects when Wang's convoy entered Fuyun County and had a general idea of them. Also, Wang was not stupid, so how could he be too helpful to the enemy? Right now, Qiuzhen Temple was supported by him and Junior Brother Xuanxu, so as long as their cultivation did not make much progress, Wang did not care.

Before leaving, Xuanxu left behind several Xuan-level spiritual objects. Even though he knew that his senior brother had obtained part of the treasure of the dragon and had no shortage of spiritual objects, this was the intention of the Qiuzhen Temple. His senior brother was the guardian rock of the Floating Cloud Mountain. Only if he was well, the Qiuzhen Temple would benefit.

After Xuanxu left, Xuanming looked at the spiritual objects on the table and said with emotion: "Practice... is still a little slow."

Time waits for no one. It seems that if I want to find a way to have the best of both worlds to benefit myself, I can't rush into enlightenment, but I can accumulate magic power faster.

There was no incident that night in Fuyun Mountain. The Taoists fell asleep one after another accompanied by the chirping of insects and frogs.

The next morning, Xuan Tong received news from Chang'anzi.
