Chapter 5 Innate Spiritual Roots (Please Collect)
The innate mysterious yin energy!

Innate pure yin energy!

Taoist Shangqing pondered for a moment before speaking, "Although the three of us know many fellow Taoists, we have never heard of any fellow Taoist who was born from the innate Xuanyin Qi or the innate pure Yin Qi."

"I have heard that the two great demon saints, Dijun and Taiyi, were transformed from the sun and stars, and cultivated a true solar method. It is very similar to Daoist Fellow's Xuanyang Dao method and Daoist Fellow Chunyang's Pure Yang Dao method. They are all upright and righteous, and extremely masculine and strong."

"Junior brother, what you said is correct." Taoist Yuqing nodded in agreement and said, "The Sun True Fire and Sun True Method of Dijun and Taiyi do have similarities with your Xuanyang True Fire and Xuanyang True Method."

"But Di Jun and Tai Yi are great saints of the demon race. They don't cultivate the Three Flowers and are not of the same lineage as us Qigong practitioners. It would be best for you to have less contact with them, lest you be contaminated by karma and get involved in the conflict between the witch and lich races."

Li Xuanyang had already known about this. He knew that the next great catastrophe would be the catastrophe of the two races of wizards and liches, otherwise he would not have planned to go overseas to find a Taoist temple.

"I really don't know about the innate pure Yin energy." Taoist Taiqing suddenly mentioned something, saying, "The innate profound Yin energy..."

"I once heard that in the northern part of the Great Desolate World, there is a polar region where there is a Xuanyin Taoist. Perhaps this is related to the innate Xuanyin Qi that Daoyou mentioned."

Xuanyin people!

"Big Brother, when did you hear about this?" Taoist Shangqing looked puzzled and looked at Taiqing who was stroking his beard with some curiosity.

Taoist Yuqing also showed a curious look.

Looking at the expressions of his two junior brothers, Taoist Taiqing smiled without saying anything.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

"The Taoist of Xuanyin!" Li Xuanyang repeated it several times. He had never heard of the name of this Taoist of Xuanyin.

But there were so many people with great supernatural powers in the ancient times, but only a dozen of them were passed down from the previous life. Many of them either died in the great calamity of the witches and liches, or hid themselves away from the world and practiced in seclusion, never caring about the things in the ancient times.

This Xuanyin Taoist may be the one who has been practicing in seclusion in the northern polar region of the prehistoric world.

Next, Li Xuanyang continued to taste spiritual fruits and drinks with the Three Pure Ones, and talked about the Taoist friends in the prehistoric times, as well as various secrets of the prehistoric times. Sometimes they each showed their magical powers and Taoism, discussed their understanding of the Great Dao, and confirmed each other again until the discussion of the Dao and the law was over.

Li Xuanyang did not immediately say goodbye and leave to look for a Taoist temple overseas. Instead, he continued to stay in the Sanqing Taoist temple, practicing Taoism and even opened up a temporary cave.

Since he transformed, he only went into seclusion for a period of time when he obtained the Liangyi Lamp, and he has not yet truly devoted himself to practicing.

Li Xuanyang planned to organize his own Taoist magic from beginning to end to form a complete practice system.

This time, he discussed Taoism and the development of law with the Three Purities for several years. Not only did he witness the inheritance of Pangu's primordial spirit, but also the method of the Three Purities' immortal light. He planned to use it as a reference and use his own innate Xuanyang Dao to deduce a protective divine light, so as to transform it into the general outline of Xuanyang Taoism.

It will not only make it convenient for one's own practice in the future, but also allow one to establish a Taoist tradition in the future.

After Li Xuanyang practiced in seclusion, he tempered his magic power, polished his soul, and gradually relied on the innate Xuanyang way to deduce several magical powers.

Among them is a body-protecting divine light, named the Innate Xuanyang Divine Light, which is also the general outline of Xuanyang Taoism. It contains the innate Xuanyang laws and Xuanyang true fire. It is extremely powerful and is best at dissolving the bodies and souls of living cultivators.

Once ignited by this divine light, unless one has the innate spiritual water to protect oneself, one will end up dead, with no true spirit left, and no chance of reincarnation.

During this period of retreat, Li Xuanyang's soul was wandering in the outside world, and the Xuanyang magic power in his body was flowing, according to the memory of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Tao, finally forming a complete big circle.

However, this method he had only created based on his memories from his previous life, and it was far from perfect.

Since ancient times, people have practiced cultivation without counting years.

On this day, from the depths of Mount Buzhou, four rays of light suddenly shot up into the sky. The chaotic energy evolved, and earth, wind, water, and fire overflowed, concealing an innate spiritual light.

Li Xuanyang, who was in meditation, suddenly felt a flash of inspiration and became aware of the evolution of earth, wind, water and fire. He also heard a faint sound from heaven, which seemed to be a chance for him. He gradually woke up from his meditation and stood up to leave the place where he was meditating.

Li Xuanyang saw the Three Pure Ones all beaming with joy, and gazed towards the depths of Mount Buzhou. "Fellow Daoists, have you sensed any strange phenomena deep within Mount Buzhou?"

"exactly."

Taoist Taiqing's eyes flashed with brilliance. He looked into the depths of Mount Buzhou and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that an innate spiritual root has emerged!"

“But there is a slight difference, as if there is an innate spiritual treasure’s brilliance hidden deep inside, which is very strange.”

"Innate spiritual roots!" Li Xuanyang's heart moved. Could it be a banana tree or a gourd vine?

"Since fellow Taoist has finished his cultivation, why don't we go and take a look at what kind of innate spiritual creature has been born!" Taoist Shangqing said impatiently.

Li Xuanyang and Sanqing didn't say much. They each controlled the clouds and flew towards the depths of Mount Buzhou.

At this time, deep in the Buzhou Mountain, there was a place where innate spiritual energy gathered. At some point, a tall banana tree grew out of nowhere. It had four leaves, shining with four kinds of light: yellow, green, blue, and red. It was like the flow of earth, wind, water, and fire, faintly giving off a hint of the chaotic Tao rhyme.

Now the four leaves on the banana tree have matured, and gradually four rays of light are emerging into the sky, revealing a strange vision.

"Two junior brothers, do you know the name of this spiritual root?" "This spiritual root contains earth, wind, water, and fire. It has extraordinary creation and is considered an innate spiritual root."

"I just don't know where it came from!"

As the sound rang out, Li Xuanyang and Sanqing each descended from the clouds and looked at the innate spiritual root banana tree in front of them, marveling at it.

"My three fellow Taoists, I know a thing or two about the origin of this spiritual root." As soon as the cloud light descended, Li Xuanyang recognized the banana tree at a glance.

"Oh!"

Taoist Taiqing exclaimed softly, "Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist!"

Li Xuanyang did not hide it and said, "This innate spiritual root is called the Banana Tree. Although it is not one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric world, it is also very extraordinary. It evolved from earth, water, fire and wind. It has four leaves and contains the essence of earth, wind, water and fire. We only need to perform a few rituals and refine them, and they can be transformed into four innate spiritual treasures."

"Fellow Taoist is very knowledgeable. He actually knows the origin of this banana tree." Taoist Yuqing did not find it strange.

Although Taoist Xuanyang had just transformed not long ago, he was after all a congenital follower of gods and demons, and was born extraordinary.

"Haha, today the three of us and fellow Daoist Xuanyang encountered this innate spiritual root banana tree that has matured. It is an extraordinary opportunity. We can each pick a banana leaf to offer as sacrifice to refine spiritual treasures." Taoist Shangqing was very happy. There were four banana leaves, and the four of them could just pick one each. It had to be said that it was quite a coincidence.

"Junior brother, what you said is exactly what I want." Taoist Taiqing chuckled and said, "Last time when we were discussing the Dao Yan Fa, I heard Taoist Xuanyang explain the method of the Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir. Now I just picked a banana leaf and made a fan to fan the fire with, so that I can use it to refine the golden elixir."

As he spoke, Taoist Taiqing stepped forward and plucked a red banana leaf.

This banana leaf contains fire, one of the origins of earth, wind, water and fire.

This leaf is extremely yang and can fan out fire, making it very suitable for refining elixirs.

Li Xuanyang didn't care when he saw Taoist Taiqing picking off the red banana leaves.

It is true that this banana tree is an innate spiritual root, but it is far inferior to the innate gourd vine. The four banana leaves cannot be refined into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. At most, they can be used by Taoist Taiqing to fan the fire and refine the elixir.

"Please go first, fellow Taoist." Taoist Yuqing did not step forward, but instead offered to give way.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang thanked with a smile, stepped forward to pick up the green banana leaf, and planned to refine it into a fan like Taoist Taiqing, combining it with Xuanyang True Fire and Xiantian Liangyi True Fire, so that the wind can rely on the power of fire, and the fire can rely on the power of wind.

Yuqing and Shangqing also stepped forward and picked a banana leaf and put it into their sleeves.

Among them, the Taoist Yuqing picked a yellow banana leaf, which contained the earth among the origins of earth, wind, water and fire; the Taoist Shangqing picked a blue banana leaf, which contained the water among the origins of earth, wind, water and fire.

Li Xuanyang had no idea what the secrets behind the two were.

At this time, only a bare trunk remained on the banana tree, and its spiritual light was dim. It was obvious that its vitality had been severely damaged and it was showing signs of withering.

"My three fellow Taoists, if you don't want this banana tree, I will take it and plant it in the Taoist temple in the future." Li Xuanyang's heart moved, and he looked up and down at the bare banana tree, which showed no sign of blooming or bearing fruit.

In previous lives, banana trees were able to bloom and bear fruit. It was impossible for them to have only leaves. I just don’t know whether this innate banana tree can bloom and bear fruit.

"This banana tree has exhausted its spiritual power. Even if you take it back and plant it, I'm afraid it will not survive." Taoist Taiqing shook his head and said.

"If you use the innate spiritual water to water it for some time, maybe you can try to plant it. Maybe it will have a chance to survive." Taoist Yuqing seemed to be hesitant to speak. Innate spiritual water has always been scarce. Even the Three Pure Ones do not have it.

Innate spiritual water!

Li Xuanyang subconsciously glanced at Taoist Yuqing. It seemed that the Three Lights Divine Water of Taoist Yuqing in his previous life was a kind of innate spiritual water.

The Three Lights Divine Water can be divided into the golden Sunlight Divine Water, the silver Moonlight Divine Water, and the purple Starlight Divine Water. Once the three are combined into one, they can become the Three Lights Divine Water, which is extremely precious.

It seems that Taoist Yuqing has not yet obtained the Three Lights Divine Water and the innate spiritual treasure Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle.

"What the three fellow Taoists said is correct. However, this spiritual root is, after all, an innate spiritual root. Even if it cannot survive after being planted, it can be used as an innate spiritual material to refine spiritual treasures." After saying that, Li Xuanyang stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves, and collected the banana tree along with the surrounding underground soil.

"The trunk of this banana tree can be considered a good innate spiritual material, enough to be used to refine an acquired spiritual treasure." Taoist Shangqing thought for a while and felt that what Taoist Xuanyang said was right.

However, the trunk of this banana tree had already lost a lot of spiritual power and was almost withered. Unlike the four banana leaves, it did not contain the essence of earth, wind, water, and fire. It was a natural embryo of a spiritual treasure. With a little sacrifice and refinement, it could become an innate spiritual treasure.

Even if Fellow Daoist Xuanyang's Xuanyang True Fire and the Xiantian Liangyi True Fire were used for sacrifice, at most one could only refine a fairly good acquired spiritual treasure.

Although the trunk of this banana tree is an innate thing, if it is really to be refined into a spiritual treasure, it does not count as an innate thing and can only be regarded as an acquired spiritual treasure.

Li Xuanyang had no intention of refining it into a spiritual treasure. He just talked about it at most. He also wanted to taste the innate spiritual fruit.

As for the three flowers where the soul will be placed in the future, they will be used to chop corpses!
He was not worried at all. Not to mention that he already had the innate spiritual treasure Liangyi Lamp, now he had obtained a banana leaf. In the future, there would be a number of innate spiritual treasures on the Treasure Fenyan Rock in Zixiao Palace, as well as the gourd vine, one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric times, which had not yet been born.
