Da Zaojun

One hundred thousand fasting pills!
One pill is equivalent to three days' supply.

What kind of divinely chosen marching rations are these?

Moreover, with the Bigu Pill, one can better explore and develop new lands.

Song Wuji decided to adopt this as a strategic move: "Can this Bigu Pill be mass-produced?"

“Cultivating Solomon’s Seal, which grows wild in the outside world, requires more than 20 years. It takes three years in a non-grade spiritual field and six months in a grade nine spiritual field.”

Song Wuji calculated that it was not as good as blood rice. Bigu pills were strategic resources, so it was better to stockpile more.

Song Wuji thought to himself, "It seems that these Taoists are really planning to invest in my family. I wonder if they can still come up with something. But at this time, although merit is not important, karma still exists. In the future, there will definitely be a repayment. I can't sell it cheaply."

He immediately took out a five-colored flower: "This is a top-grade spiritual flower given to me by Meng Po of the Underworld. I wonder if it can be refined into a pill."

“This is a fifth-grade spiritual flower.” Lin Fajing recognized it at a glance and said, “It’s a pity it’s not the Seven-Colored Flower. The Seven-Colored Flower is a third-grade immortal flower. With the addition of the Eight Bitter Tears, it can be refined into a Reincarnation Golden Pill. This pill is an immortal pill that can make a person experience nine reincarnations out of thin air, and the accumulation of each life can be reflected in reality.”

Song Wuji also had a bowl of Seven Treasures Life Essence Soup, which could allow him to experience a thousand years of cultivation in one lifetime. He didn't expect that with the addition of the Eight Bitter Tears, he could have eight more lifetimes, which was equivalent to an immortal descending to the mortal realm to undergo nine lifetimes of tribulation, accumulating the cultivation of nine lifetimes. It was a celestial elixir that only immortals could consume.

"Unfortunately, the Eight Bitter Tears are hard to find. Only in the early Tang Dynasty did a physician named Li Tianyi collect them once and use them as a catalyst to refine the Celestial Elixir, thus attaining immortality."

"However, these five-colored flowers are not bad either. When combined with Yellow Spring Water and the inner core of a fifth-grade demon, they can be used to refine a superior spiritual pill that increases one's cultivation by five grades and three hundred years of cultivation."

Fifth-grade cultivation level, three hundred years of Dao practice?

Song Wuji immediately laughed and said, "I happen to have Yellow Spring Water here, but I don't have enough fifth-grade demon cores. I wonder if it will be effective for a True Person?"

"There's also an inner core." Lin Fajing squinted his eyes: "That mirage dragon is also facing its calamity. Although continuing to suppress it and extracting its spiritual energy to nourish the cave is not bad, a hundred-year plan is too far-fetched. It's better to take it now."

"Without this evil dragon, although the spiritual energy of the Daoist temple has declined somewhat, it is just right to release a group of disciples down the mountain to slay demons and build a demon-suppressing tower, extracting the spiritual energy of those demons to nourish the cave heaven."

"Isn't that mirage dragon a fourth-grade creature?" Song Wuji asked. "Can it be used?"

"He was suppressed by the cave, and his spiritual essence was slowly extracted. Some time ago, he struggled to break free and sent out a part of his primordial spirit to cause trouble. He must have already fallen in rank."

Lin Fajing said, "With these three hundred years of cultivation, I can repair the damage I suffered after the great calamity, and even break free from the shackles of the cave heaven, leaving it further without losing my intelligence or cultivation. One step faster, every step faster."

"Assisting the realm lord will also make things easier."

Song Wuji knew that the Heavenly Pillar Treasure of Xiaoyao Mountain, and even the entire Iron Pillar Palace, were a large secret realm, only connected to reality.

Since it is a secret realm, the creatures living there will naturally find it difficult to leave.

However, demons gain intelligence and can move freely by eating humans. These Taoists, especially those in front of the mountain gate, although they have some intelligence, were initially more like human-machines.

Her increasing independence of thought seems to have developed after her contact with Song Wuji, or perhaps she broke free from some kind of control...

Song Wuji immediately asked about the reason.

Lin Fajing said, "This is a great calamity that sweeps across the Three Realms and Six Paths. Those who are bewildered by the calamity energy will be in the situation described by the Realm Lord. Gods and Buddhas will lose their positions, demons and monsters will run rampant, and the Thirty-Three Heavens will fall and transform into various secret realms."

"Those demons didn't gain intelligence by eating people; rather, they were destined to suffer calamity by eating people."

"When deities fall from their pedestals, it becomes difficult for them to ascend to power again if all their followers die. Therefore, they resort to methods to leave behind a fragment of their divine status."

"Immortals bestow laws upon the lineage, so that they may face the great calamity."

"This great calamity came quickly, fiercely, and involved a wide range of people."

"At first, we were also blinded by the calamity, guarding the mountain gate, protecting the secret treasure, and extracting the essence of the cave heaven, turning it into treasure chests and secret realm tokens." "Fortunately, Master Xu descended the altar, and we led a group of mortals to seal the mountain, and then replaced the inner and outer scenery, transferring the original Xiaoyao Mountain into the cave heaven, and transferring the Xiaoyao Mountain in the cave heaven into reality."

"Even so, they were seriously injured. The disciples with lower cultivation levels all lost their intelligence and became creatures like puppets in the secret realm."

"Because we made preparations in advance, allowing the Taoists in the real world to enter the cave to cultivate and listen to the patriarch preach, temporarily taking our place, we were able to barely retain a trace of our intelligence and then awaken the others one by one."

"However, after Lord Song completed the seventh-grade ritual and took charge of the human path in Taichang Realm, the constraints on those lower-level disciples were greatly reduced."

"After all, we are all human beings in essence. Although we cultivate the Dao, we have not attained the Heavenly Dao Fruit, so we do not belong to the Heavenly Dao and are affected by the fortune of the Human Dao."

"As the Way prevails, the Demons vanish."

"This is why I support the Lord of the Realm."

"As for incense offerings, our Taoist temple does not need the incense offerings of ordinary people. We only need the fortune of the immortals. This fortune belongs to the immortals. By slaying demons and eliminating evil, the Taoist fortune will endure and will not be depleted in the human world."

This was to dispel Song Wuji's doubts and reassure him that his family wanted to establish a kingdom on the ground.

"I see," Song Wuji said. "What about the other lineages?"

“Ordinary lineages may not have had their founders personally intervene to help us withstand this great calamity, as we have done.”

"But top-tier lineages must have extraordinary methods to preserve their lineage."

"For example, the Celestial Master's Mansion of the Han Dynasty has the Wanfa Zongtan, and the Ancestral Celestial Master Zhang Daoling was personally taught by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor."

"For example, the Shenxiao Daoting worships the Thunder Ancestor and cultivates the Nine Heavens Thunder Method. The Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable is the incarnation of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor and the ninth son of the Primordial Heavenly King."

"The true lineage of Maoshan originates from Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun."

"The Three Pure Ones, who are not in countless eons, have long transcended the primordial state. Although this great calamity has caused chaos in the Three Realms and Six Paths, and it seems to us like the sky has collapsed, from the perspective of those in high positions, heaven and earth can be rebuilt and reshaped, let alone something like this."

"So after the Patriarch relinquished his position, he voluntarily descended to the mortal realm to descend to the altar, believing that the problem was definitely not that bad. At most, it was just that something had happened to the most noble person in the Heavenly Court. This affected the positions of all the noble persons in the Three Realms and Six Paths, which is what is called 'overturning the table'."

"For example, the three Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Ancestors you summoned to my cave heaven for cultivation, their positions as Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Ancestors were inexplicably shattered, which is why they fell into the Netherworld."

"Although we immortals have also attained a certain rank, we are not seriously damaged. Some people are resourceful, quick-witted, and have the determination to cut off their own arm, so they can still save their lives."

"But for a pure divine being, their rank and the fruit of their path are all that Heaven and Earth have bestowed upon them and that they have attained. Once they lose their rank and the fruit of their path, and even the Three Realms and Six Paths lose their order, their own authority will also be in chaos and affected... until they perish."

"In comparison, the demonic path, without seeking karmic rank or cultivating the Dao fruit, instead draws in calamity energy, rising up unexpectedly amidst the chaos..."

"Is the human path also a karmic position?"

"nature."

"The human race had a position called the protagonist of the destiny of heaven and earth, but it has now collapsed. Now all creatures are free to roam the heavens and earth and all want to take over the position of the protagonist of the destiny of heaven and earth."

"That's why these demons and evil gods go on a killing spree."

"Nothing more than collecting luck."

"They can even take over a human city and immediately transform it into a demon cave, continuously spawning demons and monsters."
