Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund

"Fellow Daoist Xin Huan, you truly possess extraordinary abilities!"

"Today, the rain has fallen in abundance, and everyone in Chentang Pass is cheering. Fellow Daoist, you have finally relieved my urgent crisis."

"Haha, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, fellow Daoist!"

"If the drought here becomes severe, I'm afraid I'll have to swallow my pride and ask my sworn brother for help."

Li Jing immediately invoked the name of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, as a backup plan, treating it merely as a safeguard.

"Oh? I wonder which divine being from the East Sea is this sworn brother you speak of?"

Xin Huan looked at Li Jing and couldn't help but ask.

"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware of this!"

"I am sworn brothers with the Dragon King of the East Sea, and we are sworn brothers who have known each other for a long time."

"When I was studying Taoism in Xikunlun, I became acquainted with my fellow Taoist. After I finished my studies and left the mountain, I never lost contact with him."

Li Jing stroked his long beard and immediately spoke in a loud voice.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a wide circle of friends; I am far inferior to you!"

Xin Huan shook her head. Ao Guang was the Dragon King of the East Sea and the master of the East Sea Dragon Palace. His cultivation and supernatural powers had probably already advanced to the level of a deity.

How could ordinary people easily see such a great dragon god who controls rain? This shows that Li Jing had a wide circle of friends.

"I observe that you have already attained the rank of Ghost Immortal, and your archery and horsemanship are quite proficient. Your vital energy has not yet declined. Why did you descend the mountain so early to seek worldly wealth and honor?"

"Those who cultivate themselves should know that the human path is insignificant, the immortal path is boundless, and the ghost path is joyful, all of which are the gates of human life."

"The path of immortals values ​​life, the path of ghosts values ​​death!"

"Fellow Daoist!"

"Don't you want to take it a step further?"

Xin Huan was also puzzled. Li Jing's foundation was not bad. When he was studying Taoism in Kunlun Mountain, he had already become a ghost immortal. After leaving the mountain, he should have made further progress!

Upon closer examination, the situation turns out to be far from ideal.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but in my early years I visited famous mountains everywhere and eventually became a disciple of my master, where I learned the orthodox Daoist method of cultivating Qi. Only then did I learn some minor immortal skills."

"I wasted half my life in the mountains. Due to my dull aptitude and shallow understanding, I could only pass on a scroll of the Taiyi Du'e True Scripture and a Five Elements Escape Technique."

"I have admired the path of immortals since I was a child, but I never expected that I would have such a rare opportunity to become an immortal in this life. I have cultivated for half my life but have only achieved the rank of Ghost Immortal and have no chance to become a Celestial Immortal."

When Li Jing descended the mountain, he was already over forty years old. Although he still had vitality, he had lost his courage. To become a martial arts immortal was an extremely difficult task, as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"After descending the mountain!"

"I have only just realized how chaotic and turbulent the world is!"

"Furthermore, with the auspicious star of marriage shining upon him, and given that he has no affinity with the path of immortality in this life, he has thus sought this fortune!"

Li Jing felt somewhat embarrassed. With his abilities, if he could have remained a virgin, he might have been able to attain the status of a martial arts immortal and even reach a higher realm.

A martial arts immortal, with qi and blood surging to the heavens!

Before cultivating into an immortal, one must abide by discipline and retain the purity of a virgin for later use.

Like Jiang Shang, Jiang Ziya!

He studied Taoism in Kunlun Mountain for over seventy years, always maintaining his virginity, hoping that one day he could achieve perfect merit and attain the status of a martial arts immortal.

Then, by grasping the Kan and filling the Li, one can achieve the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir.

The human body contains a great medicine!

Do not let it leak out; keep it within your body!

Three inches below the navel is the dantian, within which the life spring gushes forth. Cultivators attain enlightenment through it, while mortals live on it!

"When I was studying Taoism in the mountains, I often heard my master say that there are five categories of immortals in the world."

"There are five immortals in the heavens: Heaven, Earth, Gods, Humans, and Ghosts. Among these five, the Gods reside in the middle, thus attaining the middle rank, which is called the Immortal Path!"

"Human Immortals and Ghost Immortals are the lowest grade of immortals. This path does not enter the true stream, hence it is also called the scattered number!"

"The Immortals enter the Dao through martial arts, cultivate their Qi and blood to create a powerful force, unlock the secrets of the physical body, and refine the acupoints throughout the body in order to achieve physical sainthood and attain immortality."

"One of these techniques possesses astonishing combat power!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are so young yet you have already attained the rank of Human Immortal and obtained the Dao Fruit of Ghost Immortal. You must be a person of great perseverance, and you have a good chance of becoming an immortal in the future!"

Li Jing looked at Xin Huan, his words full of envy. Now that Li Jing had lost his primordial yang, his dream of attaining the Dao of the Human Immortal was no longer very realistic.

"Alas~"

"The path to immortality is difficult to achieve, and the Great Dao is difficult to cultivate!"

"Without the predestined affinity for immortality, the Daoist arts are hard to obtain!"

"Although I have already attained the Dao Fruit of a Loose Immortal, I am still one step short of achieving enlightenment. I wonder when I will be able to attain the Dao?"

Xin Huan's conditions are much better than Li Jing's. He has not lost his primordial yang energy. He only needs to harmonize the dragon and tiger and accumulate good deeds. When his merits are complete, he can transcend tribulation and become an immortal.

In comparison, Li Jing's situation was much more difficult.

Now that Li Jing has lost his primordial yang, although he has attained the status of a ghost immortal and cultivated into a Taoist yin spirit, he is unable to transform his yin spirit into a primordial spirit due to the decline of his qi and blood.

Ghost Immortals are those below the Five Immortals!

This path transcends the yin realm, where divine forms are obscure, ghosts have no surnames, and the three mountains have no names. Though one does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, it is difficult to return to Penglai Island, and the cultivator will ultimately have nowhere to go.

There are two ways for mortal ghost immortals to advance in rank: one is to accumulate merit, and the other is to rely on tribulation lightning.

Li Jing possessed great fortune, which enabled him to be deified in his physical body and enjoy a divine position in the Heavenly Court. This was precisely because he used the power of his merits to make up for this last shortcoming.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit. I observe that you, my fellow Daoist, are in the prime of your life, and your fortune is currently at its peak. If you are fortunate enough to receive an opportunity in the future, you may very well ascend to immortality and attain the rank of a deity!"

Xin Huan looked at Li Jing and immediately comforted him.

"In that case!"

"Then I will accept your kind words, fellow Daoist!"

Li Jing laughed heartily. He didn't have much of an obsession with becoming an immortal. Now, Li Jing only wanted to protect his family business and enjoy the rich and noble life he had in this world!

"Fellow Daoist!"

"I have come here today because I have a request to make."

Xin Huan chatted with Li Jing for a while before changing the subject and revealing the reason for his trip.

"What advice do you have, my friend?"

When a gift is given to someone, there is always an ulterior motive.

Li Jing understood that he owed Xin Huan a favor, so he did not refuse when he heard this.

At this moment, he looked at Xin Huan and couldn't help but ask.

"I am but a man of the mountains and fields. Although I have received the grace of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens and learned some immortal techniques, my cultivation is still shallow and my foundation is weak!"

"I am currently lacking a weapon. Fellow Daoist, you are the General of the Great Shang Dynasty, and I presume you possess a vast collection. Therefore, I wish to select a weapon for you!"

Xin Huan looked at Li Jing and immediately spoke up.

Haha~

"Fellow Daoist, what is it that you have to ask!"

"Fellow Daoist, you've been deliberating for so long, only to find you're looking for a suitable weapon. Rest assured!"

"I agree to this. You will come with me to the armory in a little while, and you can choose whatever you like."

Li Jing patted his chest. He was the general commander of Chen Tang Pass of the Great Shang Dynasty, in charge of military affairs. He dared not speak for others, but in terms of weapons collection, he was truly a master.

"Fellow Daoist Xin Huan!"

"My armory still contains many treasures. If you see anything or any weapons that catch your eye, feel free to take them later."

"If things don't go well here, I'll take you to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. My fellow Daoist is very wealthy and powerful; I'm sure he'll do his best to provide you with a suitable weapon, so you won't have to make the trip back!"

"As the saying goes, don't think the Dragon King has no treasures! If things don't go well here, it's not too late to go to the Dragon Palace later."

Li Jing immediately spoke up, saying that if the cause and effect of praying for rain could be settled with a weapon, it would undoubtedly be a great act of kindness.

For Li Jing, Xin Huan's desire was merely for a weapon, something external to him. Making acquaintance with this extraordinary person was the most important thing.
