From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 424: The Mystery of Preaching and Qiushi's Elixir of Immortality
Time passed bit by bit, and the floating islands were moved one by one. It can be seen that the white turtle Youguang put in a lot of effort and kept collecting floating islands from the five islands of Yazhou.

The five islands of Hushan, Changliu, Yema, Taoliu and Huxin have expanded three to five times, and the Demon Fairy City, which has been under preparation, has also begun construction.

Yu Shuyang took out the foundation stone of the city that had been used to refine the formation diagram and officially buried it in the ancestral hall of Jiujian Taoist Temple, which was also the Jizhen Palace where the portrait was enshrined.

At the same time, he placed the Taiyi whisk made of spiritual iron in the temple for worship, waiting for the construction of the Demon Fairy City to be completed, and then merged with the protective formation to leave the mark of the Dao domain in the Demon Fairy City.

"Master, Master Yin asked you to come over and prepare to refine the elixir of immortality." Candlelight Spirit Wanhua said with joy on his face.

Ever since he followed Yin Chenzi to learn alchemy, he has been pounding medicine continuously, refining the elixir of autumn with water, and feeding the spiritual roots of autumn. Finally, he upgraded it to the first grade and could refine the elixir of immortality.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said, "How is your alchemy training with Master Yin going?
How many of the Golden Elixir Method, the Immortal Elixir Method, and the Immortal Elixir have you learned?"

Wan Jia looked helpless, sighed deeply, and said, "Master Yin explained the changes in pharmacology to me and taught me thirty-six methods of water refining."

Yin Chenzi taught his apprentice very casually. Most of the time, he would talk about whatever he thought of. Most of the time, he would talk about the medicinal properties and pharmacology, and occasionally he would teach him some water refining methods.

Yu Shuyang nodded and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Master Yin is really good at calculating!"

The changes in medicinal properties and water refining techniques are Yin Chenzi's way of repaying the Wan family for helping to refine the elixir and nourish Qiushi's spiritual roots.

"Master, Master Yin has taken good care of us. The thirty-six water refining techniques are all means of creation that harmonize water and fire." Wan Jia helped to clarify.

Wan Jia was not stupid, so he naturally understood that Yin Chenzi had not taught him the true skills. However, he was not jealous, because he knew that the true skills were rare.

Just like Yin Chenzi's repeated calculations, all he wanted was for Yu Shuyang to accept two fox cubs, which shows how valuable the true teachings are.

Yu Shuyang smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are a contented person. It's not bad to be content with what you have.

When the immortality elixir is refined, you can go to the Eternal Cave in Changliu Mountain to plant spiritual herbs and learn medicine from my second brother-in-law."

For a while, Yu Shuyang couldn't figure out how to arrange the Wan family. He thought that since he had studied pharmacology, he might as well learn some medicine.

Wan Jia led the way, and Yu Shuyang followed behind. In just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the door of the bridal chamber.

The Taoist bell rang continuously, and gusts of autumn wind poured down. The autumn wind in front of the bridal chamber was like water, rolling back and forth in front of the palace like waves.

Yin Chenzi stood in front of the palace gate, holding a golden jade furnace in his hand. He held a golden rod with thunder and fire patterns in his hand and tapped the furnace ears lightly like beating a drum, causing the jade furnace to roar like thunder.

"Master Yin!"

Yu Shuyang bowed and greeted Yin Chenzi.

"Yes, I'm going to refine Qiushi today. Please come and help me harmonize the creation and separate the yin and yang." Yin Chenzi said with a smile.

Qiushi's spiritual root has been planted in the Qiankun furnace and has no connection with the great way of heaven and earth. Now, if he wants to refine the elixir of immortality, he has to distinguish yin and yang and harmonize nature.

Yin Chenzi was also being lazy, thinking that since he was being taught the alchemy method, he might as well let Yu Shuyang perform the spell while he gave some pointers from the side.

Yin Chenzi turned and entered the palace, saying to the palace maids and Hu Zi, "All of you please leave."

These palace servants are all alchemy boys from the Great Alchemist's Mansion, and Fox Boy is selected from the Tokaido Academy and has a talent for alchemy.

After all the palace servants and foxes had left, Yin Chenzi frowned slightly, looked at Wan Jia who was following Yu Shuyang, and said, "Wan Jia, you get out too."

Wan Jia lowered his head in silence, quietly backing out of the hall, trying his best to hide his inner loss and unwillingness.

When only Yin Chenzi and Yu Shuyang were left in the bridal chamber, Yin Chenzi made some hand gestures and activated the forbidden formations in the palace.

In an instant, all the doors and windows of the palace were covered, and the hall was pitch black, with only a little light coming from the golden jade furnace in Yin Chenzi's hand.

"Young friend, do you think I am too unkind? I am even more stingy when it comes to alchemy, and I don't teach them as if I were guarding against thieves?" Yin Chenzi asked with a smile.

Yu Shuyang knew that Yin Chenzi had something to say, so he agreed, "I wonder what Master Yin's intention is?"

Yin Chenzi first threw the golden jade furnace up and floated it in the air, inputting magic power bit by bit to make the golden jade furnace gradually bigger.

Then he said, "Alchemy is not just about refining medicine. It involves fate, time, life and death, yin and yang. Not everyone can practice it.

You carry the Taoist heritage and have great luck. I am the only Taoist alchemist in the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and I have four first-grade demon immortals to protect me.

Only then could one learn the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, the Five-Grade Immortal Elixir, and the Elixir of Immortality, and comprehend the Qiankun Furnace Baking Method of the Golden Tripod and Jade Furnace.

The Daoist teachings should not be passed on lightly. If they are passed on to those with a weak destiny, their fortune and life span will be shortened. If they are learned by evil people, disaster will surely befall them.

At this point, the Golden Jade Furnace had become as big as a small mountain. Yin Chenzi quickly cast a spell to guide the furnace to the ground, and then said, "Over the years, I have considered taking in disciples and passing on my teachings.

The foxes who learned alchemy were either crazy or disabled. After a long time, they discovered the reasons.

The Dao method is not something that everyone can cultivate. It requires not only understanding and aptitude, but also destiny."

After hearing this, Yu Shuyang knew where the problem lay. This should be the Great Dao Tribulation. When he was choosing a technique for Tu Liu, he found the Thirteen Formless Escape Techniques.

This form-escaping technique was composed of the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Eight Ways of Escape. Yu Shuyang had no choice but to abandon the Eight Ways of Escape and only use the Five Elements Escape Technique as the foundation to deduce the Zizhi Five Elements Escape.

There is a quiet natural wind in Yu Shuyang's body, which helps to blow away the calamity and confusion at any time, so that he will not be confused by the calamity of Tao.

"Master Yin has good intentions!"

Yu Shuyang praised.

Put yourself in his shoes. Yin Chenzi has taught Fox Boy countless times. He has witnessed the harm caused by the Great Dao Tribulation, so he avoids it like a tiger.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that the method of alchemy has been given to him, and it is impossible for him to deliberately avoid the Wan family. The fundamental reason is that Yin Chenzi has concerns.

"Alas! The great way has always been difficult to pass on. Otherwise, the ancestor would not have been able to preach until today, and there are only three cave immortals in the Taoist palace!" Yin Chenzi sighed.

Yu Shuyang was speechless for a moment as he listened from the side. He could understand what Yin Chenzi meant, but the Three Cave Immortals referred to the seating order in the Taoist Palace, not the three caves. It seemed that Yin Chenzi had misunderstood.

He also sighed. Just like what Yin Chenzi meant, the Great Dao was indeed difficult to spread and cultivate. There were Dao Alliances in all the heavens and worlds, and only a handful of people could ascend to the Taiqing Dao Palace.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just refine the elixir. The core of refining the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir is immortality, indestructibility, and neither increase nor decrease. The key lies in that 'gold'.

Refining the fifth-grade immortal elixir is to acquire a "fruit position" between heaven and earth. This position is similar to the authority of the divine way, a position and a burden. Therefore, comparing the five paths of heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost is to find the fruit position within them and thus merge with the path.

The elixir of immortality is different. It starts directly from the laws of the Tao and refines the seeds of first-grade spiritual roots into medicine, which is another kind of "body in harmony with the Tao".

Now, the monkey is nearing the end of his lifespan, and the "Tao Seed" in his body is about to be extinguished, which will cut him off from the laws of the Great Dao and make it difficult for him to rely on his life.

Yin Chenzi did not hide anything and directly explained the essence of alchemy. Ever since Yu Shuyang went to Youdu, he had been thinking about how to teach.

After much thought, he felt that he could no longer teach step by step. Firstly, Yu Shuyang might not have the time to learn from him slowly. Secondly, Yin Chen had selfish motives and wanted to keep some of his skills with him.

"Use the Golden Tripod and the Jade Furnace, and I'll teach you how to combine them into one. This is the Baking Furnace."

Yin Chenzi also instructed Yu Shuyang to fuse the golden tripod and jade furnace. The so-called baking furnace should be more accurately called the Creation Furnace and the Qiankun Tripod.

Yu Shuyang followed the secret method to reveal the golden tripod and jade furnace one by one, and then guided the gold and jade to combine, and the furnace and tripod to combine, transforming into a golden jade tripod furnace.

When he was refining the golden cauldron and jade furnace, he mixed in the principles of Hunyuan Qi and the true form of Yin and Yang. The golden cauldron he refined was the Hunyuan Cauldron, and the jade furnace was the Yin and Yang furnace.

Now that the golden tripod and jade furnace have become one, Hunyuan and Yin and Yang have also become one, instantly making the golden tripod and jade furnace emit a sense of chaos.

Before the creation of heaven and earth, there was chaos; before yin and yang were distinguished, there was chaos.

Yin Chenzi felt the same thing and couldn't help but look sideways. The "Qiankun Honglu Alchemy Technique" he created, after integrating the golden tripod and jade furnace, only simulated the "Qiankun".

"I will pick the autumn fruits shortly. You must introduce them into the furnace as soon as possible to prevent the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from infecting too much.

The core of the elixir of immortality is the Tao seed. Today, the Heavenly Dao intends to exterminate the first-grade spiritual roots, cutting off the production of the Tao seed from the root.

If the Tao Seed is infected for too long, it will inevitably contain calamity energy. If the alchemist wants to refine the elixir of immortality later, the furnace will collapse at best, and the alchemist's life will be exhausted at worst.

Therefore, refining the elixir of immortality is also known as stealing the secrets of heaven, so you need to be extra careful! "

After Yin Chenzi finished speaking, he opened the golden jade furnace that was as big as a hill, and saw a bunch of golden light shooting out from it, and waves of the scent of ripe wheat fields blew in his face.

In the endless golden waves of wheat, a nine-ear wheat emerges, like a crane standing out among chickens.

The spiritual root of autumn fruit has no actual form. It manifests entirely according to the viewer's understanding of "autumn". If the viewer thinks that autumn fruit is fish catch, then what he sees is a pile of spiritual fish.

Yin Chenzi immediately swung the golden rod with thunder and fire patterns in his hand and hit Qiushi Lingyun hard, turning the stone into gold in an instant.

The spiritual roots seemed to be splashed with golden juice, and in an instant they turned into pure golden wheat ears, wheat stalks, and wheat leaves, which were picked up by him in his hands.

"Come to the furnace to make medicine!"

Yin Chenzi threw the nine-ear wheat into the Chaos Furnace, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was very excited.

He had not refined the elixir of immortality many times. This thing required a lot of time and effort to cultivate spiritual roots every time, and then find a way to refine it into the elixir of immortality. It was really too troublesome.

“To cultivate the Dao one seeks truth, to refine the elixir one seeks fire, and to refine medicine one seeks harmony.

The so-called truth, fire, and harmony all refer to one aspect of the Tao. When they are refined, they become the Tao fruit and the golden nature.

If you try to distinguish the yin and yang energies and recreate the universe, the Tao seed will appear and you can then refine it into medicine."

Yin Chenzi tried to describe the process of refining the medicine in words, but obviously he failed. This mysterious change cannot be described in words.

As the saying goes: The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

Fortunately, Yu Shuyang was not an ordinary person. He had already mastered the battle of dust particles and had some understanding of the changes between reality and illusion. He also sacrificed and refined the Taiyi whisk, comprehended the Taiyi dust particles, and gained insights into the comparison of size.

According to his understanding, it is to promote the changes of the Chaos Furnace, thereby inducing changes in the Tao seeds. As long as the yin and yang are distinguished and the universe is created, the "medicine" will be naturally refined.

The Chaos Furnace was created by magical powers and was completely controlled by Yu Shuyang. To separate yin and yang, heaven and earth in the chaos was no less than the creation of the world.

As soon as Yu Shuyang had this thought, a gust of magical wind was injected into it, instantly stirring up the chaos, trying to separate it into yin and yang, heaven and earth.

The Dharma Wind is the power of the eight winds inside and outside. When this power falls on the demon fairy, it can make the other party feel like they are being pointed at by everyone.

However, the eight internal and external winds could not shake Chaos at all. It seems that Chaos is ignorant and unconscious, so how could it care about insults and praise.

Yu Shuyang could not mobilize much power, especially the Chaos Cauldron which occupied the Hunyuan Qi and the Yin and Yang True Form, which meant that he could not use either of the two Taoist magics.

Fortunately, he had many tricks up his sleeve. He could draw on the Dao of the Qiankun Circle, use it as a magic sword, and perform the winter sword art, bringing in a force of winter storage and destruction.

It was as if Pangu created the world, and the Tao was like a flying shuttle, crashing into the chaos, instantly stirring up layers of light, like the restoration of sight after a solar eclipse.

The chaos was broken apart, the clear rose to become Yang, and the turbid fell to become Yin. In an instant, Yin and Yang were separated to create the universe.

Yin and Yang differentiated, and Qiankun gradually took shape, with a flow of destiny flowing through it. This was the destiny after the creation of the world, foreshadowing the power of life and also a celebration of the birth of heaven and earth.

At this time, the nine ears of golden wheat emerged, like a ship in the ocean, carrying the laws of the Tao.

What Yu Shuyang needs to do now is to release the laws of the Tao from the ship, cleanse the yin and yang, heaven and earth created in the chaos furnace, and refine them into "medicine".

Yu Shuyang is very familiar with this process, which is the "celestial grinding wheel" of the earlier operation of the Xuanwu Turtle Book, that is, the tortoise and snake are grinding against each other, and the celestial phenomena and the earth's fortunes are grinding against each other.

The clear air rises to become the yang sky, and the turbid air descends to become the yin earth. One is like a snake slowly rotating, and the other is like a turtle breathing quietly.

When a snake coils, its scales shake like fire; when a turtle breathes, its shell opens and closes like water. The combined force of the two is like the rotation of upper and lower millstones, with nine ears of golden wheat sandwiched in between, and their outer shells are ground off layer by layer.

Just like that, the power to turn stone into gold was worn away, the influence of the great way of heaven and earth was worn away, and only a layer of autumn laws remained, all of which were laws about autumn fruits.

Yu Shuyang concentrated on using the Snake Coiling and Turtle Breathing techniques, and the Yin and Yang energies became increasingly solid and concrete, as if transforming into real fire snakes and water turtles.

With the appearance of Yin and Yang, water and fire, heaven and earth, turtle and snake, the law of autumn harvest is like shrinking dough, which is slowly kneaded in it, and then constantly beaten and rubbed, and finally turned into a golden ball.

This golden ball is the refined elixir of immortality created by Qiushi, and it is also the avenue formed by the laws of Qiushi.

When a mortal swallows this medicine, he will instantly be in harmony with the Great Dao of Autumn, and his life span can be extended by three to five thousand years!
