Chapter 58 Changqing Temple

"According to my current progress in cultivation, in at most twenty days, I will not only be able to complete the physical tempering of the Stone Skin level, but also the inscription of the Stone Skin level."

Shi Yi felt the benefits brought by the Hundred Herbs Nourishing Soup and roughly estimated the progress of his cultivation.

Originally, after Shi Yi completed the wood bark inscription, he estimated his cultivation progress. Under the circumstances at the time, it would take more than 40 days, which was more than 10 days longer than the wood bark inscription.

It didn't take much time in total. After all, at that time, no resources were used to assist in the cultivation of the Flesh and Skin Realm, so the progress of this cultivation was quite good.

Now that he has the resources for cultivation, his cultivation speed has increased exponentially!

"The martial arts hall also has Ginseng Body Tempering Liquid and Sanyang Skin Tempering Cream, but these training resources need to be purchased by yourself."

"It's worth spending more money to speed up your practice."

Previously, when he was at Anyang Martial Arts School, in order to control the time of breaking through the Flesh and Skin Realm, Shi Yi did not reveal his cultivation level after the breakthrough, nor did he use the auxiliary cultivation resources of the Flesh and Skin Realm.

It was only after he completed the complete wood skin inscription that he showed his breakthrough to the flesh and skin realm, thereby obtaining a recommendation to join the Anhe Martial Arts School.

"By then, my progress in tempering my skin and flesh will definitely be accelerated again, and I'll be able to complete the stone skin inscription even sooner."

After completing the inscription at the Flesh and Skin Realm, you cannot directly continue with the new inscription, but need to temper the flesh and skin.

Because different inscriptions have certain basic conditions, the skin and flesh must be tempered to a certain degree before they can bear the inscriptions. Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, you will fail.

Shi Yi is very clear about this.

Therefore, for Shi Yi now, if he wants to continue to improve his martial arts skills, he must first complete the tempering of his skin and flesh and reach the foundation of inscriptions.

In the morning, these formal disciples who have joined the inner courtyard for less than a year practice together, and in the afternoon they arrange their own things.

Martial arts practice depends more on the individual rather than supervision.

Shi Yi originally wanted to ask Zhao Cheng to go to the Taoist temple in Ninghe County together, but after knowing that Zhao Cheng had plans in the afternoon, he did not mention it.

The Taoist temple in Ninghe County is Changqing Temple.

Shi Yi already knew the location through the video recorded by the drone.

Unlike the common impression that Taoist temples are built in deep mountains and forests, Changqing Temple is built in the center of Ninghe County. Shi Yi took the photos a little late at that time, but there were still many people going to Changqing Temple to worship gods.

As far as Shi Yi knows, Changqing Temple enshrines the Three Qi Earth Gods and the Five Auxiliary Gods.

Among them, the Three Qi Dijun are famous gods in history, while the Five Directions Fuzun are local gods.

Because the time was too short, Shi Yi did not thoroughly investigate the specific historical information.

However, since he already knew the location of Changqing Temple, Shi Yi naturally wanted to go there and try to see if he could get some basic knowledge related to cultivation. This was very important to Shi Yi.

Ninghe County is much more prosperous than Anyuan Town. As Shi Yi walked along, he saw many high-rise buildings. The restaurants, shops, and brothels on the streets could be seen from their gorgeous appearance, not to mention the huge flow of people in them.

The closer you get to the central area, the more you can feel the difference.

Compared to the scenes seen in the video, the scenes seen when walking over are more intuitive, and you can feel the prosperity of this county town more clearly.

Until Shi Yi walked to Changqing Temple.

Changqing Temple is located in the central area of ​​the county town and is larger than Anhe Martial Arts Hall.

In the map of Ninghe County drawn by Shi Yi, the area of ​​Changqing Temple is three times that of Anhe Martial Arts Hall, and it is also the only Taoist temple in Ninghe County.

Shi Yi followed the worshippers into Changqing Temple.

The first person everyone chooses to worship is the Three Qi Earth Gods.

Shi Yi also followed.

The residence of Sanqi Dijun is very large, and people who want to worship the god have to queue up.

Shi Yi was looking at the statue of Sanqi Dijun from a distance, with divine light flowing in his eyes. He was using his supernatural power to see through illusions, looking directly at Sanqi Dijun to check his condition.

In just the moment their eyes made contact, Shi Yi felt a powerful mental force coming at him, giving him a wake-up call.

This caused his body to tremble, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, no longer looking directly at the statue. Only then did the spirit disappear.

Shi Yi's spirit gradually recovered.

"This statue seems to be alive. It feels similar to the Buddha statue I saw in the Mahayana Tathagata Sutra!"

Shi Yi rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the mental pain.

It was also because he reacted quickly and did not continue to stare directly at the statue with his ability to see through illusions, otherwise the mental shock he suffered would have been even greater.

After his spirit recovered, Shi Yi no longer used his ability to see through illusions to look at the statue.

At this time, the statue of Sanqi Dijun returned to normal in his eyes and did not attack him mentally.

If it weren't for the pain Shi Yi had experienced mentally, he would have thought it was an illusion.

"The Taoist practice of Changqing Temple may be related to the Three Qi Earth Lords."

This thought popped up in Shi Yi's mind.

Because he had read the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra", and the practice of the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" was related to the Buddha statue engraved on it.

The crowd queuing up to burn incense was very efficient, and soon it was Shi Yi's turn. After taking out the incense money, he took the green wood incense from the Taoist boy, and after lighting it, Shi Yi burned incense and worshipped the Three Qi Dijun.

I don’t know if it was Shi Yi’s illusion, but after worshiping the gods, the last trace of mental pain disappeared!

It seems that gods need to be revered.

Afterwards, Shi Yi followed suit and paid homage to the Five Auxiliary Lords.

This is all the front yard of Changqing Temple, and it is also all the places that outsiders can go!

If you want to go further in and go to the backyard, you need to be a Taoist temple member.

Shi Yi found the Taoist boy in Changqing Temple and expressed his desire to practice Taoism in Changqing Temple, but the other party said that he did not have enough affinity with him.

When Shi Yi said that he could give enough money for gas, the other party just smiled and said nothing.

When Shi Yi mentioned the formal disciples of Anhe Martial Arts School, the other party shook his head slightly.

However, a reminder was given that one needed a recommended method before trying to see if one had the talent for Taoism at Changqing Temple.

Simply put, you need a letter of recommendation from someone of sufficient status to enter the backyard.

The status of an official disciple of Anhe Martial Arts School is not enough.

This situation was beyond Shi Yi's expectations.

Getting in touch with Taoist practice was more complicated than he had expected.

Shi Yi talked to the Taoist boy about Taoism, and the other party told him about the morality of Changqing Temple.

For example, sitting quietly at home to nourish the mind, burning incense to gods, etc.

It cannot be said that there was no gain, but it was not the gain that Shi Yi wanted.

Shi Yi walked out of Changqing Temple, thinking about the letter of recommendation.

For him, Changqing Temple is a very suitable place for him to come into contact with the knowledge of Taoist practice.

"No matter what, let's go back and try to get a letter of recommendation first."

Shi Yi knew that if he wanted to access Taoist practice knowledge, he still needed a letter of recommendation to cross the first threshold.

Otherwise, it would be pointless to think too much now.

As for using a drone to shoot, Shi Yi had thought about it, but in the video recorded by the drone, the people in the backyard were sitting cross-legged, and it was impossible to tell whether they were practicing, so it was not very useful.
