Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 512 The physical body is destroyed, can the primordial spirit remain in the world?

Xu Yue's move shocked Cheng Yueting and also surprised Zhang Ruoxi.

However, Zhang Ruoxi wasn't too surprised.

That must be a wonderful application of the primordial spirit.

“Since you’ve obtained the Yin-Yang School’s methods, Mr. Cheng, there are a few things I’d like to tell you,” Xu Yue said. “The current successor of the Yin-Yang School is Ning Yun, who works in Taoyuan Village. He’s the one who taught you this method. His wife, Qin Qing, is the one who passed it down to him. Also, he has another apprentice, you should know her, named Liu Feifei.”

"Actress Liu Feifei?"

Cheng Yueting was somewhat surprised, but then he remembered something and understood.

Liu Feifei is the wife of Xu Yue's third uncle, Xu Jianghe, and a close friend of Wang Yun. She also served as Wang Yun's bridesmaid.

It seems that she also has a very good relationship with Xu Yue's cousin.

“I’m telling you this just to let you know,” Xu Yue said. “If one day you or your family members develop some skills, you can come back to Peach Blossom Village and see if there are any other opportunities.”

What kind of karmic connection?
Xu Yue didn't say it explicitly, but Cheng Yueting understood.

If someone develops a skill that catches Ning Yun's eye and is taken in as a disciple, wouldn't that be a kind of destiny?

"Thank you!"

Cheng Yueting snapped out of his daze and quickly thanked him.

Xu Yue waved his hand.

It was just a transaction.

Moreover, Xu Yue felt that he was the one who actually benefited.

That cultivation method will probably be widely adopted by the Special Administration Bureau very soon.

Given Cheng Yueting's connections, it's not impossible for him to obtain it.

"President Cheng!" Xu Yue called out to Cheng Yueting as he was about to leave, "Go to Taoyuan Pharmaceutical and find President Xu Miao. Buy some pills needed for cultivation. I'll give him a call."

Cheng Yueting was taken aback for a moment, then thanked him and left.

He had naturally heard of Taoyuan Pharmaceutical's many excellent products.

Many people tried to take advantage of it, but ended up suffering heavy losses.

Many people in the industry know that Taoyuan Pharmaceutical is backed not only by Taoyuan Farm, but also by the Special Administration Bureau, Taoist sects, and other entities, and many of its products are not for sale to the public.

I never expected there would be elixirs for cultivation.

I can actually buy it?

Xu Yue is afraid he won't be able to repay this favor.

However, Cheng Yueting is clearly a smart man.

Some things don't need to be said outright.

"By granting Cheng Yueting access to purchase medicine, are you trying to develop him into someone like an escort, intentionally cultivating him?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked, "Cheng Yueting is one of the richest people on the Forbes China Rich List. He has considerable wealth and influence."

"It was just a casual thing," Xu Yue said. "Perhaps there will be a surprise. Didn't you notice that President Cheng has an affinity for magical artifacts?"

Upon careful consideration, Zhang Ruoxi realized that it was indeed true.

Wasn't the stone mill at the base of Taoyuan Village the one that Xu Yue got from Cheng Yueting?
Moreover, that stone mill had once saved Xu Yue's life.

Otherwise, he would probably have fallen victim to Little Red Dot's poisonous hand before he even grew up.

This may also be one reason why Xu Yue readily agreed to Cheng Yueting's terms and granted him access to purchase medicine.

Cheng Yueting indirectly saved Xu Yue.

In addition, there is Xu Yue's Twenty-Four Solar Terms Order, as well as the bronze mirror he brought this time.

Is this simply because Cheng Yueting likes to collect antiques?

There is probably some mysterious and mysterious fortune involved.

"It would be best to tell Ning Yun about this later," Zhang Ruoxi said. "After all, what you passed on was his Yin-Yang School's method."

“I definitely need to let you know,” Xu Yue said. “However, I’ve already given this method to the Special Administration Bureau. It’s hard to say whether it will become as common as the cultivation methods of farmers, but it shouldn’t be considered particularly precious. This is also one of the reasons why I asked President Cheng to go to Taoyuan Pharmaceutical to buy medicine.”

That's a kind of compensation, so that Cheng Yueting won't feel like he's been taken advantage of later.

"What kind of magical artifact is that bronze mirror?"

Xu Yue then asked, "Zhang Ruoxi just said it was an extremely good magic weapon."

It's good, but it doesn't go into details.

“It can nurture and protect the Yuan Dan and Yuan Shen,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It is also a magic weapon that combines offense and defense.”

"That's really good."

Xu Yue nodded, still somewhat surprised.

After all, a magical artifact that nurtures and protects the primordial core and primordial spirit must be very precious.

Because it's very rare.

The key is that it is a magical artifact that combines offense and defense.

Protecting one's primordial spirit is extremely rare.

"When cultivation reaches the later stages, does the fighting then become a battle against the primordial spirit?"

Zhang Ruoxi asked, although protecting the primordial spirit was just a guess, she felt it was very likely.

The initial refining of bronze mirrors has not yet fully revealed their ingenious uses, but it is not entirely without knowledge either.

The reason I'm not sure is because she hasn't yet condensed her primordial spirit.

“It’s not just about the primordial spirit,” Xu Yue said. “However, injuries to the primordial spirit are the most troublesome. I’ll have Grandpa and the others study this later, so that when the primordial spirit is injured, we don’t not know where to begin to treat it.”

Zhang Ruoxi nodded, after all, there hadn't been a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm for at least several hundred years.

Who could possibly harm Zhang Sanfeng's primordial spirit, which was supposedly formed hundreds of years ago?

“With the bronze mirror, the danger of breaking through has been reduced considerably,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “I will use the spirit pearl to break through tonight.”

Gu Hai nodded.

It was evening, in the cultivation room.

Xu Yue protects Zhang Ruoxi.

Xu Jianghe was outside with Wang Yun, and Xu Chengyang, Li Zhuting, Li Zihan and others also came.

Guo Tianyou was still traveling abroad, while Liu Chengji was also traveling all over the country searching for dragon veins.

Zhang Ruoyu and Han Lingxue also came.

Not all the masters from Peach Blossom Village have come.

Those of lower spiritual level are of no use coming here.

Zhang Ruoxi had already refined a spirit pearl before, so she had some experience.

Besides, there's the experience of Xu Yue and Ning Yuan.

The refining of the spirit pearl went very smoothly.

With the help of the spiritual pearl, Zhang Ruoxi easily condensed her primordial spirit.

After all, she was already on the verge of a breakthrough, but she had been suppressing it and consolidating her foundation.

If it cannot be suppressed, it will naturally fall into place.

Her primordial spirit seemed to contain some Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes.

Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, are they a unified whole?
"I will pass on the 'Yan Emperor's Primordial Scripture' to you. Try to see if you can cultivate it," Xu Yue said. "You broke through with the help of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Pearl. Your primordial spirit contains the attributes of the spirit pearl, achieving a state of primordial unity."

Xu Yue felt that cultivating this technique did not necessarily require the inheritance token, but rather the integration of primordial energy.

It may be related to physical constitution.

It's hard to say whether Xu Yue himself possesses the corresponding physique; perhaps he does, which is why the inheritance token was activated by his blood.

Perhaps not, the inheritance token changed his physique.

As for why he activated the inheritance token, it might be related to his previous speculations.

His family may indeed be descendants of Xu Xing.

As Xu Yue spoke, he used his primordial spirit to transmit the "Yan Emperor Hunyuan Fundamental Scripture" to Zhang Ruoxi.

Zhang Ruoxi didn't say anything, first consolidating her primordial spirit, and then trying again after familiarizing herself with it. "How is it?"

After a while, Xu Yue looked at Zhang Ruoxi, who had stood up, and asked.

“It can be repaired,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It should be as you guessed. However, it will be more difficult than before.”

It is difficult, but it is also more mysterious.

Even at the same level, different cultivation methods can result in varying degrees of superiority or inferiority.

“However, it will take time to transform it into Primordial True Qi,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “I can feel that the Primordial True Qi is much stronger than before.”

Zhang Ruoxi did not continue the transformation because it is a gradual process.

She just broke through and isn't in a hurry.

The two then left the training room.

Zhang Ruoxi successfully broke through, and Taoyuan Village gained another expert at the Yuan Shen realm.

And what about the cultivation world?
"Master Chen Yunlong of Wudang Mountain has broken through to the fifth realm."

Not long after Zhang Ruoxi's breakthrough, Yan Tian's arrival inevitably brought up these matters.

"A little earlier than expected. What about Buddhism?"

Xu Yue smiled and couldn't help but ask a question.

Master Chen Yunlong and Master Xu Yue naturally recognized each other, as they both cultivated spiritual and martial arts.

In Xu Yue's view, his breakthrough was only a matter of time.

“The Buddhist sect probably doesn’t have it,” Yan Tian said. “The Buddhist sect has always been supported by Master Yan De alone. Master Chen’s breakthrough was due to the revival of a spiritual vein in Wudang Mountain.”

"Spiritual veins?"

Xu Yue looked at Yan Tian with some surprise.

He vaguely guessed why Yan Tian had come this time.

It is the revival of the spiritual veins, not the dragon veins.

A spiritual vein is a special place where spiritual energy gathers.

A spiritual vein is not necessarily a dragon vein, but a dragon vein is definitely a spiritual vein.

One theory is that dragon veins are the source of spiritual veins.

“The revival of a spiritual vein doesn’t have the same scale as the revival of a dragon vein,” Yan Tian said. “There’s no surge of spiritual energy, but after the revival, the spiritual energy is abundant, no worse than that near a dragon vein. I’ve been to Wudang Mountain, and the spiritual energy there is not necessarily worse than that of Peach Blossom Village.”

“After all, it’s a famous Taoist mountain,” Xu Yue said. “I estimate that other famous Buddhist and Taoist mountains probably also have spiritual veins. As the dragon veins revive, the spiritual veins will definitely revive one after another.”

"It seems that a golden age of cultivation is truly on the horizon," Yan Tian said. "I wonder if it will be a blessing or a curse."

"At least it won't recover all at once," Xu Yue said. "It gives us time to prepare."

“Strange events are occurring more and more frequently in various places,” Yan Tian said. “I’m even starting to wonder if ghosts exist in this world!”

"have you seen?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yue became interested.

Is there?

He instinctively denied it, but then hesitated.

He hasn't seen it.

However, his upbringing taught him that this was unscientific.

But now Xu Yue has doubts.

“If I had seen it, then it wouldn’t be a matter of doubt,” Yan Tian said. “It’s just that some things seem to have no other explanation than this.”

"Whether they exist or not, I don't know," Xu Yue said, shaking his head. "In the Taoist philosophical system, ghosts and gods are not completely denied concepts. On the contrary, Taoist doctrine does not avoid denying ghosts and gods, but affirms them and studies them with all its might. You can discuss this issue with the Old Celestial Master and Sect Leader Chen."

"What do you think?"

Yan Tian asked, "Xu Yue's cultivation level is higher than theirs."

As for how much taller, he couldn't tell, nor did he ask.

However, the higher one's level of understanding, the clearer one's perception of the world will undoubtedly be.

Or rather, the closer to the essence.

"Me?" Xu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the so-called ghost is actually some kind of entity between heaven and earth, formed by the residual consciousness of a person? For example, Yin Sha Qi?"

Is residual consciousness the same as the soul?

Yan Tian then asked, but Xu Yue shook his head.

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen it,” Xu Yue said. “However, many things can be explained by science. Folk tales about ghosts and gods are not necessarily true. For example, that giant octopus is comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, which is equivalent to a great demon. Look at it, it doesn’t seem to have much intelligence, let alone the ability to transform into human form.”

"Is it possible that it belongs to a spirit or a ferocious beast?"

Yan Tian couldn't help but ask, and Xu Yue gave Yan Tian a strange look upon hearing it.

This guy seems to have read a lot of novels and watched a lot of movies.

He understood the differences between demons, spirits, monsters, and ferocious beasts to some extent.

What is a ferocious beast?

That means it cannot take human form and has little intelligence, but it is very powerful.

Of course, there is no standard for these distinctions.

The settings in the related novels are all different, and they all seem reasonable, but who knows which one is closer to the truth?
Xu Yue had no interest in studying these issues.

The Special Administration Bureau has certainly established relevant departments.

Besides, Xu Yue is no longer afraid of any ghosts or monsters.

His blood and qi surged, and not only ghosts, but even the massive yin energy would vanish into thin air.

"I haven't been involved in cultivation for very long, nor have I been involved in the martial arts world. I collected a lot of information later, and even then, it was limited," Xu Yue said. "How much of the folk culture is genuine, and how much is feudal dross, is even harder to say. However, I've never seen any souls or spirits!"

“Perhaps this world is not yet capable of preserving human souls,” Yan Tian said. “Perhaps this world is not yet capable of manifesting souls.”

Xu Yue nodded, which could be considered an agreement, but it didn't necessarily mean he agreed.

He prefers the idea that death is the end of life.

"If the physical body is destroyed, can the primordial spirit remain in the world?"

Yan Tian suddenly spoke up and asked.

If even the primordial spirit cannot survive, then what is the basis for the existence of the souls and spirits?

“Difficult!” Xu Yue thought for a moment, then gave an answer, and said, “The primordial spirit is like water, and the physical body is like a vessel. If the vessel is gone, how can the water be preserved? If it can be preserved, then it can leave the body.”

"Where is the Yin spirit?"

Yan Tian then asked.

Xu Yue is definitely not just at the Nascent Soul stage, he is at least at the Yin God stage.

“The Yin spirit can leave its body at night and travel thousands of miles in an instant,” Xu Yue said. “But that’s only at night. To leave its body during the day is suicide. The Yang spirit can leave its body during the day, but if its physical body is destroyed, whether it can survive in the world will only be known when the time comes. However, I don’t think it’s a good chance.”

"Why?"

Yan Tian couldn't help but ask a question.

Have you heard the story of Tieguai Li?

Xu Yue did not answer, but instead asked a question.

Yan Tian nodded.

He was naturally familiar with the legend of Tieguai Li.

Legend has it that Tieguai Li was originally a handsome man who practiced Taoist arts in a mountain cave and had reached a very high level of skill. He was even able to separate his soul from his body.

One day, he decided to seek out a wise man, so he ordered his apprentice to guard his body, and then his soul went out to wander. Unexpectedly, a few days later, a major event happened in his apprentice's family, requiring him to return home immediately. So he had no choice but to burn his master's body and go home.

Soon after, Li Tieguai's soul returned, but he couldn't find his own body and was very panicked. Finally, he found a body in the forest that had died of starvation, and he could only be resurrected by using it. In this way, he became the image that people generally accepted: dark-skinned, with messy hair, wearing a golden headband, a tangled beard, wide-open eyes, and a limp with an iron crutch.

Yan Tian naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Yue's words.

If even the most senior of the Eight Immortals was like this, what about them?
