The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 10 Innovation and Success: The Divine Paper (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes for continued reading)

Medical research requires immense patience and a very long time.

Even with a vast amount of medical knowledge, Taiyi still felt very insignificant in this vast and untamed world.

But people are very happy when they are making progress, and this happiness can overshadow some of the pain and hardship encountered in the process.

Therefore, Taiyi's understanding of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements can be described as rapid and far ahead of others.

The Five Dragons Dao Talisman underwent frequent transformations, surpassing the Sword Dao Talisman in one fell swoop to become the strongest Dao technique mastered by the Taiyi Clan.

At the same time, the five Dao seeds that extended from the innate five-colored divine light also "hatched" and showed signs of transforming into Dao talismans.

Once it transforms into a Taoist talisman, it signifies that one has officially entered the path of Taoism.

Once you enter the path, you can capture the innate spiritual energy of the five elements, continuously condense and refine it, and transform it into the essence of the innate five elements.

During this process, Taiyi's internal organs are also tempered by the innate spiritual energy of the five elements, constantly becoming stronger.

Aside from the Five Dragons Daoist Technique, the greatest progress was actually in the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique.

This supernatural ability can capture innate pure energy, but this is only its basic function.

Its essence is a supernatural power that restores cultivation and heals injuries.

This means to capture and blend different types of innate pure energy to give them different effects, such as restoring magical power or healing one's own injuries.

It contains extremely profound medical principles.

It directly uses the innate pure qi as medicine.

When this supernatural power is cultivated to its extreme, it can even condense primordial Qi, instantly restoring cultivation, healing all injuries, and fully recovering one's condition.

However, by comprehending this supernatural power and verifying it with his own research on medicine, Taiyi gained many insights and made great progress.

Unfortunately, the ceiling for breath control and guiding techniques is very low; they have already reached perfection and there is no way to advance further.

Compared to the power of the Five Dragons Dao Technique and the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique, these two Dao Techniques seem rather useless.

Ultimately, these two Taoist arts were practiced by Taiyi in order to establish a cultivation system.

Even at the beginning, these two Taoist arts were not of much help to him.

Body refinement is not as good as the Five Dragons Body Refinement Technique, which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor is it as good as the Five Dragons Dao Technique, nor is it as good as the Nine Breaths Breath Absorption Technique.

The rear hall of the temple.

Taiyi introspected his own body, focusing his gaze on the lower dantian (energy center).

"One Dao talisman represents one realm, that's for ordinary people, but I don't need to be bound by that."

"The Nine Breaths Breathing Technique originally had the ability to heal injuries and restore a full state of health. It can integrate the abilities of breath control, guiding qi, and even the Five Dragons Refining Spirit Technique, the Five Dragons Refining Form Technique, and the Five Dragons Daoist Technique."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

Taiyi pondered to himself, "No... I should say that I should use my understanding of these Daoist techniques to advance my mastery of the Nine Breaths Breathing Technique!"

For example, the art of breath control can absorb all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The three techniques—Guiding Exercise, Five Dragons Refining Spirit Technique, and Five Dragons Refining Form Technique—are capable of refining the body and spirit.

The Five Dragons Taoist Arts are five Taoist arts that capture the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth, and have the ability to purify and refine it.

Upon having this idea, Taiyi was immediately inspired and put it into action.

The Nine Breaths Breathing Talisman collapsed, the Breathing Talisman collapsed, and the Guiding Talisman collapsed.

Then the three Daoist talismans are merged and reconstructed.

This itself did not significantly alter the Nine Breaths Breathing technique. Soon, Taiyi completed the reconstruction of the Dao talisman, turning the three talismans into one.

But as soon as it started operating, Taiyi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"The two energies, pure and turbid, clash..."

Tai Yi frowned, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to make improvements.

This matter was more difficult than he had anticipated.

So he continued to improve the system while coughing up blood.

Fortunately, the injuries were minor, and they were healed as soon as the Five Dragons Taoist Technique was activated.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Nine Breaths Breathing Talisman was reconstructed once again, and finally there were no problems.

The Taiyi method of circulating qi, which gathers and controls the pure and turbid yin and yang energies, strengthens the essence internally and refines the physical body externally, is far more effective than circulating qi in nine breaths, qi-absorbing techniques, or guiding techniques.

"However, there is still a small problem: the essence refined in this way is too impure."

Taiyi Clan's secret passage.

Although the problem could be solved by the Five Dragons Taoist Technique and the supernatural power of the Five Thunders, Taiyi's obsessive-compulsive disorder and pursuit of perfection led him to immediately seek a solution.

Moreover, the previous plan was to integrate some of the profound mysteries of the Five Dragons Dao Technique, the Five Dragons Refining Spirit Technique, and the Five Dragons Refining Form Technique into the Nine Breaths Breathing Divine Power, thereby promoting the advancement of this divine power.

However, things got even more difficult from there.

He failed twice in a row, and was even more seriously injured, damaging his internal organs.

If it weren't for the five Dao Seeds that split off from the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light in my five internal organs, I probably wouldn't have been able to get up for a month or two.

"My understanding of the Five Elements is still somewhat superficial..."

Taiyi stopped temporarily, went out and traveled underground, and came to Longmen Peak to ask Juling for advice.

Julingshi was a direct descendant of the Five Dragons Clan. He was proficient in the Five Elements and even more so in the Five Dragons Refining Dao Divine Diagram, the Five Dragons Refining God Diagram, and the Five Dragons Refining Form Diagram.

The Five Dragons Refining Form Technique, Five Dragons Refining Spirit Technique, and Five Dragons Taoist Technique cultivated by the Taiyi Clan all originated from this.

Seeking advice from the Giant Spirit was certainly the right thing to do.

For the next year, Taiyi frequently traveled between Xiaocangshan and Longmenfeng, studying medicine and cultivating himself while seeking guidance from Juling.

Within the Tai tribe, under the leadership of Yanzi, papermaking technology made rapid progress.

First, straw paper and wooden paper were made.

However, straw paper was not as effective as bamboo paper and wooden paper when used as talisman paper, so Taiyi ordered further improvements to be made, and the paper was modified to be used as toilet paper and book paper.

Ordinary wooden paper and bamboo paper can be used as low-end talisman paper.

By producing these three types of paper, papermaking technology had made great progress, and the process had become more mature.

Yanzi then began to produce more advanced talisman paper.

The materials were not available in Xiaocang Mountain; they were all provided by the Giant Spirit Clan.

There are quite a few good spiritual trees and bamboos in the Longmen Mountains. Although they all have owners, Julingshi, as the mountain god of the Longmen Mountains, naturally has the right to allocate them, or obtain them from the gods in the name of offerings.

Furthermore, Julingshi even returned to the Central Heaven and obtained a batch of divine wood from Wulongshi, intending to use it to make divine paper once papermaking technology had advanced further.

At that time, they will take these talismans written on divine paper and sell them to the various innate races.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

On this day, Yanzi hurriedly arrived at the temple, his face beaming with joy, and said, "Clan leader, the divine paper is complete!"

"Oh?"

In the study of the rear hall of the temple, Taiyi, who was writing talismans, stopped writing and looked up at the long stack of divine papers that Yanzi was holding.

Yanzi presented the divine paper to Taiyi, who took one and examined it.

It is pale gold in color, soft yet tough.

When touched, it feels delicate and smooth, with a silky texture.

"Good paper!"

Taiyi highly recommends it.

After a year of effort, it's finally done.

This divine paper is made primarily of divine wood, mixed with spiritual wood and bamboo, and other materials.

Because the sacred wood was difficult to process, it was first processed by the Giant Spirit Clan. Otherwise, given the cultivation level of the papermakers like Yanzi, it would have been impossible to produce this divine paper in a year.

Taiyi took out a paper cutter and prepared to cut the sacred paper in his hand into talismans, but then the cutter broke.

Yanzi laughed and said, "Clan leader, this divine paper is not something that can be harmed by ordinary weapons."

"We have already tried, and with our cultivation level, we have exhausted all methods, but we cannot damage this divine paper in the slightest."

Taiyi nodded in agreement, then pointed his fingers into a sword shape. The pale golden sword energy on his fingers was as fine as a strand of hair, its sharpness radiating outwards, and a faint sound of thunder could be heard.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zi was immediately shocked: "What astonishing sword energy! It's at the level of sword energy as fine as silk!"

She had also practiced the swordsmanship taught by the Taiyi clan, but the sword energy she had cultivated was far less sharp than what the Taiyi clan was currently displaying, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

"This is the Geng metal sword energy, the sharpest and most unstoppable."

Taiyi used his sword energy to slice through the divine paper bit by bit, saying, "When you reach the level where your sword energy is as smooth as water, you can combine it with the Five Dragons Golden Light Technique to cultivate this Gengjin Sword Energy."

Sword energy like thunder, sword energy like water, sword energy like silk – these are the realm classifications he summarized based on his own cultivation of swordsmanship.

Yan Zi is currently in the realm of sword energy and thunderous sound, which means that sword energy is surging, sword light is emanating, and thunderous sound accompanies it.

The sword energy is like water, penetrating everywhere, combining both strength and gentleness.

The sword energy is as fine as silk, unparalleled in its killing power, and the difficulty of controlling it is also greatly increased.

……

Taiyi cut out a palm-sized talisman and took out a brush.

This was made by him a year ago.

By this time, Yanzi had already ground the ink.

This ink was developed this year. It is made by mixing charcoal from burning spiritual wood with cuttlefish ink, and it has an excellent effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The ink from cuttlefish comes from the Huangshen clan.

This person's father was a primordial dragon god, and he himself was at the level of a god lord, so obtaining the ink from the squid was extremely easy for him.

Previously, Taiyi had sent a million kilograms of cuttlefish ink, which was divided into several grades.

The most ink comes from ordinary cuttlefish, followed by the ink from demigod-level cuttlefish, then the ink from divine-level cuttlefish, the ink from true-god-level cuttlefish, and the most precious ink, which weighs only one pound, comes from the ink of a master-level cuttlefish.

At that time, Taiyi remarked that Huangshen was a person worth befriending.

However, Huang Shenshi should not lose out either!

With his brush dipped in ink, Taiyi wielded his brush on the sacred paper, creating characters that were as graceful as dragons and phoenixes dancing, each ancient and mysterious, full of Taoist essence, leaping onto the paper.

Nine-Breath Breath Control Talisman!

Taiyi completed the talisman in one go. As soon as it was finished, rays of colorful light bloomed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered and flowed into the talisman paper.

A moment later, the light faded, the Daoist aura dissipated, and the talismans on the desk looked ordinary.

But if Yanzi carefully sensed it, he could feel an astonishing power within it.

Taiyi was quite satisfied with the talisman in front of him.

This is the strongest talisman he has ever created.

Moreover, with the divine paper and the amplification of the ink, the effect of this Nine Breaths Qi-Containing Talisman is definitely no less than when he personally performs this divine power.

Immediately, Taiyi took the jade talisman and sent a message to Juling.

A moment later, the Giant Spirit arrived in haste.

"Is this the shrine paper?"

"Indeed exquisite, unlike anything else, it can fully withstand my magical power!"

Looking at the divine paper, Giant Spirit was very satisfied and laughed loudly, "If you add array formations and restrictions, this can be transformed into a divine artifact."

"After all, it used divine materials."

Taiyi laughed and said, "Brother, why don't you try the effects of this talisman?"

"good!"

Julingshi nodded and walked around the desk to Taiyishi's side.

Yanzi then obtained new ink, which was made from the ink of a cuttlefish from the Divine Lord Realm.

Just as Juling was about to take the brush from Taiyi, he paused again, his gaze falling on the Nine Qi Breathing Talisman that Taiyi had just written, and praised, "Excellent talisman!"

"Beautiful handwriting!"

"Brother, your skill in writing talismans has reached a level of perfection."

As he spoke, Julingshi naturally took away the Nine Breaths Breathing Talisman, and then picked up a brush and began to write on the talisman paper that Taiyishi had cut out.
