Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 205 Danfang
"Boss, the west corridor is repaired."

Liu Fangyue's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Lin Jiang's thoughts and dispelling the random thoughts in his mind.

"Why so fast?"

"Didn't you eat something a while ago?" Liu Fangyue's voice continued, "With your Qi support, the seniors were full of energy and naturally repaired your palace in no time."

Upon hearing Liu Fangyue's words, Lin Jiang immediately thought of the garden from before. Just thinking about the peonies that he had chewed up like a cow brought tears to Lin Jiang's eyes.

Those flowers.

It's such a pity that we were in such a rush when we went in. If we had added some other ingredients, it would have tasted even better.

Without thinking too much, he closed his eyes and entered the inner palace.

Liu Fangyue was already waiting there, with several beautiful young girls standing beside her, their faces adorned with innocent, silly smiles.

However, although these girls were beautiful, their chests were glowing, and Lin Jiang could clearly see the little golden man operating in the "cockpit," which immediately killed any mood for appreciation.

Before Liu Fangyue could speak, they hurriedly stepped forward, took Lin Jiang's hand, and led him ahead with smiles.

Lin Jiang had no choice but to follow.

Soon, a group of girls escorted Lin Jiang to the west corridor. Lin Jiang finally got a clear look at the place:

Like the east side, the west side corridor also leads to an open area.

Unlike the ruined city on the other side, this place is a huge backyard with an extremely wide area. In the center, however, there are piles of broken walls and ruins, as if there were once buildings here, but they were destroyed by external forces and turned into ruins.

Lin Jiang also discovered that the backyard was actually connected to the hall, but the entrance was hidden behind a giant rock.

He initially thought it was a recessed wall and didn't pay much attention, so he didn't find the place.

Many golden statues are busy on the ruins, some clearing away broken tiles, others waving and directing, it's unclear how long it will take to clean them all up.

Let's turn our attention away for now and continue along the corridor.

Soon, the girls surrounding her suddenly stopped and lined up on both sides, making way for Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang found himself in front of a magnificently decorated gate, with a sign hanging above it bearing words he did not recognize.

He placed his hand on the door and found that it was much heavier than he had imagined; even he had to use all his strength to push it open.

It involves exerting force throughout the body to push forward.

With a creaking sound, the door in front of us slowly opened.

Lin Jiang looked inside, as if he was startled by something, his feet wobbled, and he staggered back two steps.

The room was crammed with towering bookshelves, piled high with books. When the shelves were full, they were piled on the floor, forming towering, precarious peaks.

Lin Jiang walked to a mountain of books, and had to look up to see the books at the top.

The entire mountain of books is about two people tall!
Beside these mountains of books, some little golden figures were peeking out, and a few of them were running around the pile of books. One of them accidentally bumped into a bookshelf and was hit on the head by a book falling from above. It's unclear whether the book hit him and knocked his head off.

"Where did all these books come from?!"

Lin Jiang suppressed his surprise and subconsciously picked up a book from the ground, looking at the cover.

Several large, complex characters were written on the book.

These characters resembled the writing of the little golden figures, which Lin Jiang couldn't recognize at all.

However, for some reason, when Lin Jiang stared intently at these words, they seemed to crawl directly into his eyes like insects.

After a moment, Lin Jiang actually understood the meaning of the three words above:
"Transformation of all things".

Lin Jiang was certain that he still didn't recognize the characters, but he understood their meaning perfectly.

It is profound and difficult to explain.

Lin Jiang looked down again and discovered that there were densely packed books under this book, all with the same name on the cover, only with different word order in the footnotes.

He then looked at other piles of books.

"The embryo is formed from an egg."

"Fragrance that travels ten miles".

"Mud for mountains".

Each book has a different title, and the large number of them, like this one "Transforming All Things," are piled up like a small mountain.

The smaller ones are placed on the bookshelf, usually starting with five or six books.

He was wondering what kind of books these were when he suddenly noticed a book on the shelf with a particularly eye-catching title.

Take a closer look,
The book is titled "Returning Home".

He instantly remembered the name of the alchemy that Sun Zhong had mentioned to him.

These……

They're all prescriptions from the box!

Looking at the fully-equipped study, Lin Jiang was stunned.

Indeed, the key was on him, and so was the box.

He had been researching ways to open the box, but he never expected it to be done in this way!

It seems this box is connected to the palace; all three must be present to obtain the knowledge within. However, looking at this huge pile of books, his head was buzzing a little.

My grandfather's pills are very powerful, but isn't this a bit too much?

Indeed, all talk of sudden enlightenment and miraculous feats is false; the only true path is to bury oneself in diligent study.

Lin Jiang then noticed a small golden figure at his feet. It raised its hand and handed him a booklet.

"May I take a look at this first?"

The little golden statue nodded.

Lin Jiang reached out and picked up the booklet.

The name on the top of this booklet is completely different from the three-character prescriptions next to it; the two large characters "Danmiao" are prominently displayed on it.

That is, to turn it over.

After just a couple of glances at the homepage, Lin Jiang's expression immediately became subtle.

"The gift from the immortals is the first method in the world. Once the golden elixir enters the belly, one's fate is no longer determined by heaven. However, the method is a gift from the immortals and cannot be practiced. Therefore, it is divided into two: yang is 'elixir' and yin is 'law'. This method is the external manifestation of 'alchemy'. It takes the essence of heaven and earth and condenses the perfect method."

The content was extremely similar to what the King of Qi had said, but the King of Qi did not explain at the time what the two methods that were initially divided were.

Now it is clear that this alchemy is a derivative of the original methods of the world, and is one half of the original methods.

Lin Jiang flipped through the book of external alchemy again, only to find that the handwriting was numerous and messy. If he hadn't studied medical books in his previous life, he probably would have fallen backward and fainted after seeing the handwriting in this book.

Even so, it was extremely difficult for Lin Jiang to chew this thing.

After looking at it for a while, he sadly discovered that the book the little golden statue had given him was:
It's a directory.

Even a directory is written in such a complicated way.

Lin Jiang roughly understood why the Dharma was gradually broken down when it was passed down.

The entire set of methods is so comprehensive that it would not be an exaggeration to say that all the methods in the world are gathered in it. Just one of them is enough to ensure that an ordinary person will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and may even enable them to seek the wonders and attain immortality.

To truly master it would take a lifetime and still be difficult.

And this is a method of external alchemy.

Lin Jiang has an entire library!

This is...

That's outrageous.

He still didn't know how many alchemical formulas his grandfather had learned, but judging from Sun Zhong's words, his grandfather probably had learned quite a lot.

What level of cultivation did my grandfather possess back then?
If it's not high, then where has all that alchemy practice gone?
If he is extremely powerful, then why did his grandfather leave the capital?

Lin Jiang felt that many things must have happened back then.

but,

Lin Jiang tilted his head to look at Liu Fangyue, and a strange thought immediately popped into his mind.

Liu Fangyue is currently a thought within her own body, but she clearly possesses her own subjective consciousness.

If she learned the alchemical formula, or the "Great Precepts" given to her by the King of Qi, would that be considered as her own knowledge?

Just like when he had Liu Fangyue perform magic in the palace, wasn't that exactly Lin Jiang's method in the eyes of outsiders?
His thoughts immediately became active.

That does seem to be a solution.

“You can try learning these pill formulas.” Lin Jiang pointed to the pill formulas in front of him: “These techniques are generally difficult to master. If you want to learn, just pick one to start with.”

"Okay." Liu Fangyue didn't suspect anything and picked up the book "Transformation of All Things" from the ground and began to read it.

Lin Jiang also began to carefully study the so-called catalog of external alchemy.

Lin Jiang soon discovered that this so-called alchemy did not actually require a furnace to throw in the medicinal herbs and then roast them over a high flame.

The so-called "Dan" method cultivates "complete perfection," which is a flawless technique. "Forming the elixir" is merely the final step in the entire wondrous method.

The alchemy furnace and rare and precious materials are only auxiliary to the "formation of the elixir." If one does not rely on these external objects, one must obtain the "gold" through one's own efforts.

And this "gold"
It is "something that is hard, strong, and indestructible."

Form is not attached to emptiness; this is considered "perfect enlightenment".

When Lin Jiang saw this, he immediately thought of his own body.

He immediately flipped back to the table of contents and read down line by line.

Finally, he found what he wanted to see at the very end of the table of contents.

The second half of the entire prescription contains two types of pills.

The first one is called: Body Transformed into Gold.

Second,

It is the "Path to Immortality".
