From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 216: Yin De Di Yun Golden Lotus
The golden energy outside Hushan Island was completely absorbed. That night, Yu Shuyang waited with the soul-guiding banner, thinking that ghosts would come to cause trouble this time.

He never expected that he would stay in the Tiger's Mouth Cave all night until dawn, but he didn't see any ghosts, which made him very disappointed.

Just when he was puzzled, his junior brother Li Taiping and cousin Li Zhen came over. Li Zhen was about to leave yesterday, but the Zhu family boatman saw that it was getting late and stopped him.

"Cousin, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'll send you a flying talisman to confirm that."

Li Zhen boarded the ship with the red-haired rat spirit He Liuzhi. Yesterday, he sent a flying talisman to the white turtle Youguang, and the golden-eared mouse fairy asked him to help take it to Chaoju Island.

"Are you guys going together?" Yu Shuyang paused, looked at He Liuzhi, and asked Li Zhen.

Li Zhen nodded. He understood what his cousin meant and said, "The Golden-eared Rat Immortal has sent a message. He has sent his people to wait on Chaoju Island."

Yu Shuyang nodded. He always felt that He Liuzhi and the black-nosed groundhog were quite problematic. This feeling came from nowhere, just like when you feel sour when you see a lemon or spicy when you see a chili pepper.

As the saying goes: Even if a person has exhausted his strength, he cannot defy fate.

He watched Li Zhen leave on a sea boat, bound for Wuyu Island, the southernmost island of the Taodushan Islands, the place where they had docked last time on a turtle ship.

After watching Haizhou disappear into the sky, Yu Shuyang turned around and said to his junior fellow apprentice Li Taiping, "Junior apprentice, this is strange. Why didn't any ghosts come to cause trouble last night?"

"Brother, ghosts also have brains. You are protected by Yin De, and the golden light you emit is three layers high. You are also blessed by the luck of the underworld.

Unless someone is desperate and seeking death, anyone who sees this must avoid it," Li Taiping explained.

The golden light of hidden virtue and the luck of the underworld cannot be seen with the naked eye. One must have magic skills such as spiritual eyes or be born with divine pupils to see them.

Yu Shuyang had never noticed it, but he didn't know that since his arrival, all the ghosts in the desolate sea have been hiding in Hushan Island at night, for fear of being sent to the underworld to die.

"Golden light of hidden virtue, luck from the underworld, and a golden light of protection? How can you be so ostentatious?

"Junior brother, do you know if there's any way to cover it up?" Yu Shuyang asked.

He also planned to communicate with ghosts and spirits and capture strong men for the underworld. How could he do that with all the golden light?
Li Taiping smiled and shook his ox head, saying: "The golden light of hidden virtue is a reward from heaven and earth, it is displayed for everyone to see, and its purpose is to commend.

With this golden glow on your head, if you meet someone so foolish as to kill you one day, and someone knowledgeable sees you, they will save you.

Who would want to hide something like this? They just want more of it."

It was the first time that Yu Shuyang knew that the Yin De Golden Light had such an effect. No wonder his junior brother asked him to help the ghosts to die.

But when he thought of the ghosts in the desolate sea every night, he felt itchy. There were twenty ghost tribes in the Xuanming underworld, and the total number of ghosts and monsters did not exceed one hundred and fifty.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask again, "Is there no other way? Even a temporary cover would be fine.

There are so many ghosts in the desolate sea at night, I think it would be a shame not to catch some to work as laborers."

Li Taiping also knew his senior brother's temperament and character. He disliked showing off the most. Moreover, he must have other plans, so he started to help think about it.

After about half a quarter of an hour, he finally spoke: "Brother, the golden light of Yin De is not easy to cover up, but there is a method of transforming the luck of the underworld into a lotus.

I think the Earth Fortune Lotus can absorb the Golden Light of Yin De. I saw in the inheritance that the Qi Fortune Lotus is used as an example to explain how to refine the Merit Golden Lotus.

After listening to it, Yu Shuyang thought that he could give this method a try, and then asked his junior fellow apprentice for advice. The secret method only had a few dozen words, so it was not difficult to learn.

The so-called transformation of earth's luck into lotus means gathering the luck on the spiritual platform above the head, planting it in the same way as planting lotus, and growing a lotus from the luck and essence.

This method is very similar to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, but the real appearance of the Three Flowers on the top of the head is when one has cultivated to become an immortal, and one's own essence, energy and spirit are all perfect, and a stream of energy is transformed in the spirit center.

Similar to this is the storage of the five energies in the chest, which are all manifestations of successful spiritual practice.

Yu Shuyang was very satisfied with the method, so he went back to the Tiger's Mouth Cave to try to practice. He first found a stone basin, filled it with water, and then cast a spell to turn it into ice.

The Xuanshui Guixu Qi from cultivation is guided into the ice to be dissolved for a while, and a Xuanqi Ice Mirror is made. This is used to observe the use of Qi when planting lotus with Qi.

The ice mirror was as clear as a silver mirror. After looking in the mirror, he understood why the ghosts didn't dare to come.

In the mirror, there were three layers of precious light on Yu Shuyang's head, in the colors of red gold, yellow gold, and white gold, as bright as a pile of firewood on fire, and the luck of the underworld was like auspicious clouds, covering him.

This scene also left him speechless. What he saw in the mirror was not the transformed appearance wearing fish skin clothes, but a dragon carp with dragon horns on its head and long whiskers hanging from the corners of its mouth.

It looked like a picture of a dragon and carp fairy. There was a red spot on the fish's head, which was even brighter than blood. The pattern looked like the character for "happiness" in a talisman.

Facing the mirror, let your mind rise three feet into your hair to sense the location of the spirit platform. Compare it with your experience when sensing Qi, and gather auspicious clouds from the underworld.

I saw a cluster of dark red auspicious clouds, one after another, converging in the void above my head, a total of twenty-one clouds connected into one. This dark red was not black, but a translucent black with red in the brightness. Dark red is not a pure color; common colors include dark yellow and dark red.

Therefore, the cloud above Yu Shuyang's head was not a dark cloud covering the sky. It was black with a hint of red, looking majestic and solemn.

When the luck of the underworld and the land converge into one, it is necessary to shape it in front of the ice mirror, which is the method of planting lotus. Traditionally, the luck has manifested itself in the form of auspicious beasts, such as the carp representing literary luck and the green python representing royal aura.

Yu Shuyang wants to sculpt a nine-petal golden lotus. The number nine corresponds to the nine underworlds. Another point is that the lotus head of the nine-petal lotus is like a pot, which is best at collecting all kinds of air.

Others sculpted the fortune lotus like they were making dough figurines, but his mind was as sharp as a sword, and sculpting the nine-petal golden lotus was like carving and modifying it.

Essence, Qi and Spirit are three lotus flowers. Let's start with essence first. His kidneys are refined internally, and the yin and yang kidney Qi are transformed into mysterious water. The thing he lacks the least is essence.

The sword is moved by the mind to drive the yin and yang essence of the kidneys. Every carving injects a little essence, which is the gathering of one's innate yang essence and acquired turbid essence.

When you look at the carving of the Golden Lotus of Luck, you are actually refining your own life imprint into it. The unity of the innate and acquired is Hunyuan.

With the Xuanshui nourishing the kidneys, the consumed Yin and Yang essence can be replenished at any time. This can also be regarded as the benefit of practicing Xuanshui Guixu Qi.

It’s simple, it strengthens the kidneys.

A golden lotus is refined and falls into the spiritual light of the spiritual platform. It still needs to be watered and nourished by the heart, and it has to wait for it to sprout and grow.

Next, it was time to carve the Qi Lotus, which was even simpler. He only needed to inject the Xuanshui Guixu Qi he had cultivated. He had accumulated a total of 1,500 years of cultivation, so he was not afraid of this little consumption at all.

This Xuanshui Guixu Qi is considered his fundamental Qi. Starting from Renyang Water Qi, he refined Ziling Water and Hailing Water to make talismans, experienced the process of collecting Qi to transform evil spirits, and practiced Xuanshui Guixu Qi.

Carving the Qi Lotus is even easier, and the time consumed is more than halved compared to shaping the Jing Lotus.

The last step is the Divine Lotus. He practiced the Qi Sea in the Lower Dantian, but his mental power has never been strong. It was only not long ago that he comprehended the mind-controlling sword energy in the magic sword, and finally he found a way to influence his mind.

In this way, carving the divine lotus is much more laborious. Every time you use your mind and carve a few strokes, it will be absorbed by the lotus of luck.

After carving for twenty or thirty times, Yu Shuyang began to feel a headache.

This is caused by excessive mental damage. Most mental thoughts are born and die at will. As long as it does not exceed the body's carrying capacity, you will not feel a headache.

The last time I had this feeling was when I was controlling the sword energy with my mind. I was chopping the hemp on Yatou Mountain. I felt a headache at that time, so I stopped and dispersed the sword light.

After all, he had experienced a fatal calamity before, so he knew the consequences of excessive mental exhaustion. The purpose of practicing alchemy is to improve oneself, not to risk one's life.

The lotus of luck has now carved out an outline. If I let go, I will have to start from the beginning next time. If I continue to insist, I am worried that I will lose control. What if I suffer from mental exhaustion?
Fortunately, Yu Shuyang made a decision not long after. When he was killed last time, he had not yet broken through to the ninth level. Now he has reached the eighth level and has awakened the dragon carp bloodline, so his physical condition is not bad.

Of course, he would carve the divine lotus slowly, not exhausting his mind too much. He would pause after each sword strike, thinking about how to carve as many lotuses of luck as possible quickly and with minimal effort.

This feeling was very similar to when he first started practicing swordsmanship. The killer's sword-wielding method only had two moves: stabbing and slashing.

The first thing to do when getting started is to chop wood with a sword. You need to cultivate several kinds of stabbing and chopping forces, such as the hidden force of hitting a cow from across a mountain, and the bright force of the whistling sword tip.

He practiced three thousand swords every morning and evening. After a long time, he began to suspect that his master's sect was selling firewood. With hundreds of disciples chopping firewood every day, what a huge mountain of firewood that would be.

Later he found out that he was right. All the firewood chopped by the sect was taken down the mountain and sold for money, except for burning it for themselves.

However, that time of chopping wood was also the time to learn and recognize the sword, and the foundation of controlling the sword in detail was also laid at that time.

It's like stabbing a sword and breaking a piece of tofu into nine pieces of equal size, or using a piece of pig skin as a cushion to chop the tofu, how to make sure the tofu is not damaged and the pig skin is cut into hair-thin pieces.

Relying on his previous skills, the more he carved the lotus of luck, the more refined his ability to control the sword with his mind became. This was a kind of improvement in his perception.

By adopting the rhythm of pausing after striking the sword, he actually felt his headache ease a little bit. Although it didn't disappear completely, it didn't feel unbearable anymore.

In this way, it took about three times the time to carve the divine lotus as it did to shape the fine lotus, and finally the divine lotus was completed, and then it was placed in the spiritual platform.

The luck of the underworld is refined into a nine-petal golden lotus and planted in the heart of the spiritual platform. It must be continuously watered with essence, energy and spirit to nourish the luck lotus so that it can take root and even grow branches and leaves.

This is the normal method of offering sacrifices to the lotus of luck. It is done to absorb the golden light of hidden virtue. In addition to nourishing the essence, energy and spirit, it is also necessary to introduce the golden light of hidden virtue.

Now the nine-petal golden lotus has not grown yet, so it can only feed the Yin De golden light bit by bit. Once the lotus grows out of the spiritual platform, the lotus pod will be able to absorb all the Yin De golden light.
