From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 300: Eighth-level cultivation, refining the Qi and combining it
The Great Alchemist's Mansion, the Alchemy Room.

After Yu Shuyang dealt with the Fox Leader, everyone in the mansion became respectful and no one would refuse when they asked the servants to take some fresh spiritual tea.

The fox leader was knocked unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he dragged his limp leg to Yin Chenzi to cry and complain, but was sent home to recuperate.

All of a sudden, no one dared to cause trouble anymore. They all became obedient and eagerly came up to Yu Shuyang to curry his favor when they saw him.

Yu Shuyang read the two jade books of pharmacopoeia and elixir recipes every day, and slowly refined the golden elixir, using the mysterious water magic power to nourish the black mysterious light energy bit by bit.

This black mysterious light energy is the combination of Xuanshui Qi, Xuanshui Sha and Xuanshui Gang. The combination of these three produces Xuanguang, which is the refining of Gang and Qi, and is the key to the eighth grade breaking through to the seventh grade.

The so-called refining of Gang and combining of Qi is to sense the nineteen layers of cloud bans in the sky, draw the corresponding Tian Gang Qi from them, and combine it with the magic power in the Xuanqiao.

The cultivation process from the early to middle stage of the eighth grade is mainly about refining the Gang Qi, just like the early to middle stage of the ninth grade is mainly about accumulating the Xuan Shui Qi.

Yu Shuyang had previously collected Ren Yang Water Qi, but at that time he had not yet comprehended the core of the Xuanwu Water Method. It was not until he reached the middle stage of the ninth rank, when he was refining Qi to dispel evil, that he realized that he had to collect Xuan Water Qi.

To this end, he chose to sacrifice and refine the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell, consuming all the accumulated Ren Yang water Qi, and then collecting Qi and refining the evil spirit again, connecting the shadow of the magic talisman to transform it into Guixu, in order to store the Xuanshui Qi and Xuanshui Sha.

When he had refined the turtle and snake phases, he once again discovered that the meaning of Guixu's law was connected with Xuanming. Only then did he know that the Guixu law had been refined into the Dao Fruit by the Winter Wind God Xuanming.

There was no other way, Yu Shuyang could only change the talisman's phantom, changing Guixu to Yuyuan Mai Valley, and changing Guixu Endless Water to Mai Valley Sunset Water.

It can be said that his path of cultivation is to take one step at a time, and he has to look back at every step, otherwise he will go astray, and if he is not careful, his future will be ruined.

There was no other way. He was practicing a method that led directly to the great Dao, and he had to rely on himself to explore the method bit by bit.

Since breaking through to the eighth level, he has tried several times to hook the cloud ban to fish out the Xuanshui Gangqi, but each time ended in failure, and the Xuanshui Gangqi he sensed was negligible.

For this reason, he thought of refining the Qiankun Mysterious Treasure Gourd and using the Moon Toad Qi Refining Method to directly collect the Xuanshui Gangqi, but the result was not very ideal.

Later, he went to ask Yang Fuzi for advice. As expected, he had studied the Xuanwu technique for many years. He told him directly that there was no Xuanshui Gangqi in this world, and he had to find a way to refine it.

Finally, I did not forget to explain to him that the nineteen layers of cloud bans were formed by those who had escaped the calamity and ascended to heaven in the past. Before leaving the Middle Earth, they lifted the blessed land to the sky and slowly transformed it into cloud bans.

Because when the mythical beasts such as Xuanwu, Phoenix, Qilin... appeared, the world of Middle-earth had just evolved, and all the mythical beasts and innate gods could enter and leave the Middle-earth world at will.

Therefore, there is no such thing as escaping the calamity and ascending to heaven. There is no Xuanwu Cave Heaven in the Nineteenth Layer of Cloud Forbidden Land, and naturally there is no罡气 for practicing the Xuanwu method.

Yu Shuyang sensed an extremely weak Xuanshui Gangqi. It was the Xuanshui Gangqi that he collected and refined between heaven and earth. This was the magical power of Yunjin that served as a barrier between heaven and earth.

It was also because of this reason that he was unable to practice for a long time after breaking through the eighth level.

Of course, this is not an unsolvable problem. You can find a way to replace the罡气, just like you did in the previous practice, and then change it back after you have a breakthrough in your practice.

This method is like building a paper bridge to cross the river. It seems to be successful, but in fact it is like walking on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, your future will be ruined.

A few days ago, in addition to managing Hushan Island, he continued to deduce the Xuanwu Water Method, and slowly he actually grasped the essence of the Ninth Grade Ascension Method.

Gathering Qi is essentially the spirit of the physical body. Where does this Qi come from? It is not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor is it the air we breathe, nor is it the medicinal energy of spiritual roots and precious medicines.

You can know from the feeling of Qi that this Qi is felt by the spiritual perception of the physical body, and it is guided by the talismans in the mysterious orifice to continuously gather Qi for cultivation.

Therefore, what is refined through Qi collection is the spirit of the physical body, or in simple terms, the spiritual energy of the human body.

Refining the evil spirit is essentially refining the evil spirit of the earth. When Yu Shuyang was practicing the Renyang water evil spirit, he was refining the evil spirit by the water.

Later, he changed to refining Xuanshui Qi and Xuanshui Sha, and also collected Sha Qi from the Huangsha River in Danhuang Cave Heaven. From this, we can see that the essence of Sha Qi is the Sha Qi that exists on the earth.

Earlier, Yu Shuyang practiced Xuanshui Qi and Xuanshui Sha. The former is the spiritual energy of the human body, and the latter is the evil energy of the earth.

The spiritual energy of the human body is born from the thoughts in the heart. The earth has existed since the creation of the world and has retained all the evil spirits from ancient times to the present, so there is no obstacle to spiritual practice.

When it came time to gather and refine the罡气, an obstacle arose. The reason was that the Yunjin had been refined since the end of ancient times. It was an unrefined "new sky" and did not contain enough "weather".

This practice of gathering the energy and combining it is essentially about combining the spiritual energy of the physical body, the evil energy of the earth, and the pure energy of the heavenly energy into one, refining it into the mysterious energy for cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao, and then continuing with the subsequent practice of both body and soul to refine a golden elixir of the Tao.

Now, Yu Shuyang accidentally used some golden elixir to refine a little black mysterious light energy, which made him realize the relationship between refining golden elixir and the lower dantian golden elixir.

These days, as the black mysterious light energy grew stronger and stronger, Yu Shuyang gradually discovered something different.

The so-called black mysterious light energy should be the extremely weak Xuantian Gangqi. For a moment, Yu Shuyang had an inspiration, and he seemed to have found the Tiangang Qingqi to replace the Xuanshui Gangqi.

Xuantian Gangqi, also known as the black cloud qi of the north sky and Xuantian dusk qi, is the black light qi in the clouds at sunset, which is born from the creation of heaven and earth.

With the answer, Yu Shuyang found all his deductions reasonable. Even so, he still repeated the deduction three times.

In addition to verifying the consequences of Xuantian Gangqi replacing Xuanshui Gangqi through these calculations, Yu Shuyang also deduced the exercises after breaking through the seventh level.

Only then did he wake up from his dream and realized that he had fallen into a big trap. The ninth and eighth grade cultivation were all about cultivating life skills, while the seventh and sixth grade were about cultivating sexual skills.

If he used Xuantian Gangqi to replace Xuanshui Gangqi, after he transformed into a seventh-grade human, when he practiced and comprehended the law, it would not be Xuanshui at all, but only black water.

Black Water and Mysterious Water are extremely similar, and there is not much difference between them. For example, the Black Water Mysterious Snake Method starts with the practice of Black Water.

But it is not possible in the Middle-earth world, because of the special relationship between the Black Water and the Netherworld, which is feared by the Heavenly Dao, and the Xuanwu Avenue and the Laws have always been obscured.

It was also a coincidence that Yu Shuyang was able to practice the Xuanwu Water Method. He started from Zi and Hai, and refined the Zi Lingshui and Hai Lingshui as magic talismans. He then connected Zi and Hai to the two star gods Xu and Shi.

With the power of the two stars Xu and Shi, he refined the Zi Water Talisman and the Hai Water Talisman into the true form of the Black Tortoise Shell, which was the Black Tortoise Book that he used to deduce and calculate.

It was also with the help of the Xuanwu Turtle Book that he was able to perfect the Xuanwu Water Method bit by bit. The previous changes were not just the replacement of Xuanshui Qi with Renyang Shui Qi and Yuyuan Meigu with Guixu.

Yu Shuyang was also looking for a way to cultivate the Xuanwu Water Method. Xuanshui Qi replaced Renyang Water Qi, and kidney water replaced Beihai water. Similarly, Yuyuanmai Valley replaced Guixu, and Xuanhei replaced Xuanming.

Every change is not without reason. It is Yu Shuyang's correction of his own path and the improvement of the Xuanwu Water Method.

He was not sure whether he could cultivate the Xuanwu Water Method by using black water instead of Xuan water, but he was sure that if he practiced the Black Water Method, when he broke through to the fifth level in the future, the thunder tribulation he would encounter would be similar to that of Sister Hui of Guyuan.

Perhaps his situation was even more serious than Sister Hui's. After all, Sister Hui was merely cultivating the Night Ghost Sect, and the calamities faced by ghost immortals were already three to five times heavier than those faced by demon immortals. The calamities faced by those feared by the Heavenly Dao were particularly severe. For example, the White Crow Immortal, for example, gathered the four great Night Ghosts to gain authority over ghosts and monsters, attempting to cultivate to become the master of ghosts. This immediately caught the attention of the Heavenly Dao, frightening the Five Thunder Gods into attacking with all their might, fearing that the Heavenly Eye would open.

In the end, it was Li Taiping who took the initiative, Yang Fuzi assisted, and Yu Shuyang burned incense money and yellow petitions to invite the ancient thunder god Fenglong to solve the problem completely.

Thinking about the fate of Bai Yaxian, Yu Shuyang didn't dare to practice the Black Water Rhythm, which was no less than seeking his own death.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to discover a clue during his self-examination. That is, after several times of practicing, the Xuanshui magic power had become mottled, and was mixed with other spiritual charms.

For example, the devouring power of Guixu, the black magic rhyme, and the dusk power of Meigu, these are more or less mixed in the Xuanshui magic power.

Therefore, Yu Shuyang used the power of Xuanshui to refine the golden elixir, and what came out was black Xuanguang Qi, which was affected by the black spiritual charm in the Xuanqiao.

In order to comprehend the Black Water Mysterious Snake method, he took the initiative to dive into the depths of the Jishuitan Pond, collected the ink spiritual charm of the Mohe Pond, and refined it into the current black spiritual charm.

Unexpectedly, this black spiritual energy almost killed him. Not long ago, he used the black spiritual energy to push the fishtail crown and refined the five-colored divine light palm, which became the third form of the Xuanwu true form talisman.

At this moment, Yu Shuyang understood a little bit of what was said in the Taoist scriptures: What you rely on will surely harm your body, but if you have the will, you will not do it.

He made this mistake in his practice. When seeking the Tao and practicing, one should not rely on magic, but return to the original nature and not interfere too much.

The purpose of refining the Nine Yang Mysterious Water Turtle and the Five Ding Yin Fire Snake is to refine the turtle and snake together in the future, and then further upgrade the Black Tortoise True Shape Talisman to the Black Tortoise True Shape Talisman, instead of using the turtle shell as the core.

A few days ago, by chance, I used the black spiritual energy to push the fishtail crown and practiced the Five-Colored Mysterious Light Palm. Through the refining of virtuality and reality, I split the Five-Colored Mysterious Light Palm into two, namely: Five-Colored Xiaguang Palm and Five-Colored Divine Light Palm.

Seeing that the Five-Colored Divine Light Palm was rare, Yu Shuyang cast a spell to absorb it into the mysterious acupoint and refined the third Dharma image.

At this moment, if you calm down and think carefully, you will realize that the five-colored divine light is indeed powerful. It is the secret technique of the peacock, the ultimate in practicing the changes of the five elements, and can defeat the five elements soldiers and break the five elements spells.

If it comes to spiritual practice, it is useless, just like the nine-petal golden lotus of earth movement that was sacrificed earlier, which was used to refine the essence, energy and spirit, and refine it into the three flowers on the top of the head.

Because the three flowers on the top of the head are the secret methods of the upper dantian Yuanshen, and are useless with the lower dantian Jindan Dao, Yu Shuyang stopped practicing.

Before that, he practiced the Eight Winds Mantra and refined talismans. Finally, through the secret method of returning the wind, he refined the heavenly wind in his stomach into a wind belly, and gained a magical power of the physical body - eating wind to fill his stomach.

At that time, he could also see that this meal of wind filling was a physical supernatural power, which was ultimately the Dharmakaya avenue of the middle dantian, and had no benefit to his practice of the Golden Elixir avenue of the lower dantian.

It is just like this moment. If he could give it up then, he can naturally give it up now.

After thinking this through, Yu Shuyang prepared to purify the Xuanshui magic power and remove all the Guixu Devouring Power, Meigu Dusk Power, and the Five-Colored Divine Light Palm on the Xuanwu Turtle Calligraphy Talisman that were infecting it.

Earlier, he might not have been able to do it, but not long ago, when he was comprehending the calamity of dust, he realized the changes of refining emptiness into form, and refining form into emptiness.

When he casts the Dust Tribulation on others, he has to borrow the body-tempering power of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, but it is much more direct to cast it on himself, and he can also use the Yin-Yang True Form Fan to cast spells.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuyang decided to go into seclusion to practice. This way, he could examine himself and get rid of all the burdens left over from his earlier practice.

Before that, he had to go and meet Yin Chenzi. After all, he was in seclusion for cultivation and didn't know how long it would take before he came out, so he had to say hello to the other party.

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned the servants in the mansion and asked them about it. He learned that Yin Chenzi was in the backyard at this time, preaching to Wan Jia and Qi Feng.

Ever since Yu Shuyang and the others came back from the Spring God Hall, Wan Jia and Qi Feng have been studying two moon-refining techniques. After Yin Chenzi found out about this, he often called them over to teach the two demon generals the Taoist scriptures.

Yu Shuyang walked over and saw Yin Chenzi, Wan Jia and Qi Feng in the pavilion. He listened carefully and found that they were really talking about Taoist scriptures, and they were not using Taoist scriptures to teach alchemy methods.

He was standing outside the pavilion waiting. When Yin Chenzi saw him, he did not stop but continued to explain the Taoist scriptures. The two boys listened very attentively.

Yu Shuyang listened carefully and found that it was not much different from what he had learned with his junior brother Li Taiping earlier. Over the years, he had also read a lot of Taoist scriptures, especially before taking the Taoist examination, and he knew the five major scriptures like the back of his hand.

After a quarter of an hour, Yin Chenzi finally stopped preaching, called Yu Shuyang over, and asked, "You came here today, so you must have something to say, right?"

Yu Shuyang then talked about his cultivation, especially about his retreat for cultivation. He came over to tell me because he didn’t know when he would be able to come out.

Yin Chenzi was delighted at first, then sighed and said, "I thought you were going to talk about the Spring God Hall.

How do you feel about this trip? Do you have any plans to take in a disciple?

Yu Shuyang was also a little helpless. He had not come to see Yin Chenzi for the past few days. In addition to his cultivation, he also wanted to avoid this matter.

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan is currently too entrenched. The root of the problem lies not with the aristocratic families of the Fox Nation, but with the six fox clans of the Qingqiu ancestral land.

If the Dao Alliance is to take root again, the structure of the six fox clans must be changed, and the implications behind this are too huge.

"Master Yin, what are your thoughts? Let's discuss this together. As long as it's not from the aristocratic fox clan, I will definitely cooperate with you." Yu Shuyang directly lifted the lid and said without any reservation.

Yin Chenzi stood up and paced back and forth, wandering around the pavilion for most of the day. Finally, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said with determination, "Over the years, I have avoided the important issues and pondered over them for a long time.

Looking back now, I was just sitting there doing nothing. These few days, I was teaching the two boys the Taoist scriptures, and I suddenly woke up.

If it were a few hundred years ago, I would have started with those around me, taught them Taoist scriptures, and selected the best to impart magic, it would certainly not be like this now.

Now that I think about it, asking for a Dharma lineage inheritance can certainly ensure that there are people in the Fox Clan who are pro-Daoist Alliance, but this method is too stupid and too narrow-minded.

I'm planning to open a Taoist temple, and you can choose one or two disciples from it. What do you think of this idea?" Yin Chenzi said eagerly.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said, "This method is very good. Why don't I wait until I finish my retreat and join Master Yin in building the Taoist temple together?

We cannot allow the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to monopolize the East China Sea. This Taoist temple should not be limited to the Qingqiu Fox Clan, but should be open to all the fairies in the East China Sea."

Having said this, Yin Chenzi was silent for a long time, pacing back and forth for a quarter of an hour, and finally said: "Indeed, it should be so."
