The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 7 Papermaking and Talisman Making! (Please recommend and vote for this chapter!)

Leaving aside the matter of Feng Chi's suicidal act, the lively atmosphere was one that both host and guests thoroughly enjoyed.

Julingshi stayed at Longmen Peak to meet with Huangshenshi, while Taiyishi returned to Xiaocangshan alone after nightfall.

The rear hall of the temple.

Three people sat cross-legged in front of Taiyi: the burly Jujiang, the composed Dawei, and the slender Yanzi with bronze skin and a wild beauty.

These three were appointed by him before he left Xiaocang Mountain to manage the Tai tribe.

Upon their return, Taiyi immediately inquired about the tribe's situation from the three men.

Fortunately, because of him, the Huang Shen clan took good care of the Tai tribe, and nothing major happened; everything remained peaceful.

Finally, Taiyi asked, "How is your cultivation progressing?"

Before leaving, he selected a group of talented tribesmen to teach them cultivation methods and Taoist seeds.

"Clan leader, Lei was attacked by a demon while cultivating and is now dead."

Ju Jiang looked somewhat somber.

"What?"

Tai Yi frowned.

Dawei quickly explained, "We tried our best to exorcise the demon with the Five Dragons Divine Incantation, but it was ineffective."

"The ancestor went to invite Lord Huang Shen, but by the time Lord Huang Shen arrived, Lei's possession by the Heavenly Demon was too severe. He had lost his mind and had already become a demon. Lord Huang Shen could only obliterate Lei's physical body along with the Heavenly Demon."

Even the Heavenly Demon bullies the weak and fears the strong?

Taiyi gritted his teeth inwardly.

He had never encountered a Heavenly Demon during his cultivation, but Lei was so unlucky that he actually did.

The first batch of humans to cultivate in the Tai tribe were all carefully selected by him. They were quick learners and physically strong. He is heartbroken that one of them died.

"If this happens again, wherever I am, I will announce it through sacrifice!"

Taiyi shouted.

If Ju Jiang and the others had offered sacrifices to him immediately and informed him of the situation, even if he couldn't return to Xiaocang Mountain to resolve it, he could have asked the god Ju Ling Shi for help.

If the Giant Spirit Clan is no good, there is the even more powerful Five Dragon Clan.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

The three men nodded quickly, without arguing.

Taiyi did not blame the three for this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In the future, when others cultivate, after fusing the Five Dragons Refining God Talisman and the Five Dragons Refining Form Talisman, they can begin the next step of cultivation only after accumulating enough to operate the three Dao Seeds."

Yanzi immediately understood and said, "Does the clan leader mean that the three Dao Seeds, instead of the Nine-Breath Qi Absorption method, should be used to cultivate one of the Five Dragon Dao Techniques to deal with evil spirits?"

"good!"

Taiyi nodded, "The Nine Breaths Breathing Technique is indeed powerful, but it is also difficult to comprehend. For most people, it is not suitable to comprehend and cultivate it at the beginning."

"The Five Dragons Dao Technique also has the ability to capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can also protect the Dao, making it the most suitable choice."

The three men nodded in agreement.

The Tai tribe now has a population of just over 10,000. The Tai Yi clan previously selected less than 100 people to pass on the Dao seed and the nascent system of acquired godhood cultivation.

These people are the seeds cultivated by Taiyi.

Next, the rest of the Tai tribe will be taught Taoist arts and cultivation methods by Ju Jiang and his group.

Furthermore, the acquired godhood cultivation system within the Longmen Mountains will be disseminated by Ju Jiang and his group, replacing the Taiyi clan.

After discussing cultivation, Taiyi asked, "Yanzi, how is the collection of spirit bamboo progressing?"

Yanzi hurriedly replied, "We have already done as the clan chief instructed, digging ten large pits, filling them with ten-foot-long spirit bamboo, and diverting river water to soak them."

Taiyi nodded and said, "I will go and see for myself tomorrow."

"You may all go back now. Come back in half an hour to hear my sermon!"

The three men nodded in agreement, then respectfully took their leave and departed.

Taiyi sat down, pondering his next plan.

The core objective is naturally to improve one's cultivation level and increase one's strength.

Everything that follows needs to revolve around this core concept.

Only when you are powerful will those evil spirits and monsters dare not show their faces.

It wouldn't be like it is today, where any random demigod dares to jump out and try to make him a stepping stone.

Spiritual practice emphasizes Dharma, companions, resources, and environment.

The method already exists; the "Human Emperor Visualization Diagram" should be the most advanced method in the primordial world today.

Moreover, there is the Dao Tree, which possesses abundant Daoist arts and supernatural powers.

As for companions, the Giant Spirit was undoubtedly the one to choose.

With his divine power, he should be more than capable of resolving his doubts.

Next is finance, which is resources.

This is quite scarce.

There is no shortage of common medicinal herbs, but there is a great shortage of precious medicinal herbs.

Let alone innate spiritual roots, there isn't a single trace of acquired spiritual roots.

"I'll give up on dreaming of innate or acquired spiritual roots. I'll just need to get some divine medicine to increase my magical power, strengthen my primordial spirit and physical body, or heal my injuries..."

"I'm far from capable of finding someone outside."

"You can't rob a hundred people, not even a hundred lives would be enough."

"Then I have no choice but to buy it... In that case, my previous plan will still come in handy, just with a different approach."

"Right now, the Emperor is my biggest backer, so I can have fewer worries."

"Then let's start with papermaking and talisman making, one step at a time... Hmm, we can't lose contact with Huang Shenshi."

"His father is a primordial dragon god, and his mother is a deity of our human race. It would be a waste not to utilize such a relationship. Besides, dragons have always been synonymous with wealth!"

……

Taiyi was deep in thought when half an hour passed without him realizing it.

Ju Jiang and others gathered in the main hall of the temple, a total of seventy-one people.

There were originally seventy-two people, but Lei died.

Taiyi did not get up and go from the back hall to the main hall. Instead, his primordial spirit left his body and entered his own statue in the main hall.

The stone statue immediately came to life, transforming into a flesh and blood body under the power of the sacrifice. It sat cross-legged on the altar and preached the Great Dao.

However, Tai Yi's sermons are not so lofty; rather, they are more like "exercises."

He begins by teaching his own insights into the two Taoist arts, the Five Dragons Refining Spirit Technique and the Five Dragons Refining Form Technique, explaining how to understand and apply them.

Then there are techniques for absorbing qi, guiding qi, the Five Dragons Daoist arts, and so on.

It starts with a series of techniques and methods as a foundation, and then expands outwards.

This is because the cultivation system created by the Taiyi Clan is based on these kinds of Taoist arts and supernatural powers.

Explaining complex concepts in simple terms, breaking them down into smaller parts, encouraging divergent thinking, and using specific examples to illustrate broader concepts... In fact, to help Ju Jiang and the others better understand, Tai Yi would even temporarily develop various related minor Taoist techniques based on the Five Dragons Refining Divine Technique, the Five Dragons Refining Form Technique, and other Taoist arts and supernatural powers, to "pose challenges" for Ju Jiang and the others.

And the effect is obviously very good.

After two hours, several people with good comprehension, such as Ju Jiang, Da Wei, and Yan Zi, were able to learn by analogy and develop their own variations of minor Taoist techniques.

Mr. Tai was very satisfied and then ended the sermon.

The primordial spirit returns to its body.

Taiyi continued his cultivation, contemplating the "Human Emperor Visualization Diagram," comprehending the five-colored dragon scales on the Human Emperor's image, and understanding the profound principles of the Five Elements contained within them. He then mutually verified these principles with the Five Dragons Dao Technique and the innate five-colored divine light, thus gaining some insights.

He had previously experienced two moments of enlightenment outside the Miro Palace, and once his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds.

However, the Five Dragons Taoist Techniques made rapid progress on one occasion.

Now, with each side corroborating the other, we have gained a great deal.

Before he developed his own cultivation methods, the first Taoist arts he practiced were super strength, immobilization, and swordsmanship.

In today's battle with Feng Chi, he used all three of these Taoist techniques, with his swordsmanship being particularly formidable.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

As the bell rang, Taiyi concluded his meditation.

In the front hall, under the guidance of the temple keeper, Shan Lao, the people of the Jujiang and other Tai tribes were worshipping him.

As the deity bowed in worship, wisps of sacrificial power, invisible to the naked eye, seeped into the statue like smoke and dust.

Withdrawing his gaze, Taiyi introspected on himself.

Among the various Daoist arts, the Five Dragons Daoist Arts has progressed the fastest. At this point, it can absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even surpassing the profound supernatural power of Nine Breaths Breath Absorption.

There's also the newly cultivated Innate Five-Colored Divine Light. Although the five Dao Seeds haven't yet broken through their shells and transformed into Dao Talismans, their speed of absorbing and releasing Innate Five Elements Spiritual Energy is already much faster.

"According to my theory of traditional Chinese medicine, all living things possess a primordial primordial energy, but unfortunately I have not been able to find it."

"I don't know if it's because it's not suitable for the primordial world, or if my innate ancestral energy has been tainted and assimilated by the acquired energy from the grains I eat over the past thirty years."

Tai Yi sighed inwardly.

The foundation is still too weak.

However, he currently lacks the method to return to his original state after birth.

"Perhaps we can look forward to the innate five-colored divine light?"

Taiyi's gaze fell upon the five Dao seeds rooted in the five internal organs.

These five Dao Seeds can be condensed to refine the essence of the Five Elements.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The bell rang again, but the ceremony had already ended.

Taiyi raised his head, opened his mouth and inhaled. The sacrificial power within the statue instantly flowed into his brow like a smoke dragon, and was then devoured by the Earth God talisman embedded in his primordial spirit's brow.

Through the manipulation of the divine talisman, the power of the sacrifice was transformed into magical power.

The power of sacrifice is essentially the power of the will of living beings. The more people who perform sacrifices, the greater the power of sacrifice becomes, but at the same time, it also becomes more complex.

Without the methods established by the Human Emperor for cultivation, the power of sacrifice is not a good medicine, but a poison.

The power of all spirits can drive even a god mad!

After the sacrificial ceremony, the clansmen descended the mountain.

Taiyi rose and stepped out, appearing outside the temple.

Smoke began to rise from the chimneys at the foot of the mountain, and the sounds of children crying and laughing drifted over.

Tai Yi was very satisfied with this scene.

When he came here more than ten years ago, people in the Thai tribe were still freezing and starving to death.

There are many gods in the Longmen Mountains, but they do not care about the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation of the creatures that worship them.

Ultimately, whether it's the Five-Colored Human Race or other acquired races created by gods and demons, they are nothing more than beings that provide sacrificial power for gods and demons.

Only those directly under the Human Emperor, namely the lineage of the Five Dragons, held a certain status, producing numerous deities and thus becoming part of the current rulers of the prehistoric world.

As for the humans under the command of other gods and demons, or other acquired races, they are all treated like cattle and horses.

Therefore, upon learning of the harsh environment they faced, they immediately sought to develop planting, animal husbandry, breeding, and weaving to solve the tribe's food and clothing problems.

It took him three years to complete this step.

From then on, no one in the Thai tribe starved or froze to death.

Furthermore, Taiyi clan rapidly spread planting and animal husbandry techniques to surrounding tribes, resulting in a significant increase in population within just a few years, which in turn greatly boosted the power of their sacrificial rites.

Only then did he gain the appreciation of Huang Shenshi, the mountain god of Longmen Mountain, and obtain the position of a minor god of Xiaocang Mountain, a ninth-rank minor god.

At the same time, he also gained the attention of the Five Dragons, the first ancestor of the human race, and was bestowed with the "Five Dragons Refining the Dao Divine Diagram", as well as the "Five Dragons Refining the Divine Diagram" and the "Five Dragons Refining the Form Diagram".

Before this, his cultivation method was the Five Dragons Divine Mantra.

Five Dragons Golden Light Divine Mantra, Five Dragons Life-Extending Divine Mantra, Five Dragons Purifying Heaven True Water Divine Mantra, Five Dragons Burning Evil True Fire Divine Mantra, Five Dragons Pacifying Earth and Suppressing Soul Divine Mantra.

All the five-colored human races in the Three Realms and Heavens uphold these five great divine incantations.

Sincerity brings results. Daily chanting and continuous accumulation can strengthen the body, enabling one to fight against ferocious birds and beasts when hunting.

The essence of the Five Great Divine Incantations is to activate them through the sacrificial power accumulated from daily chanting of incantations, using the way of the Five Dragon Clan.

This is entirely dependent on external forces.

If the Five Dragons perish, or if their hearts are not sincere, then the divine incantation will not work.

This was the fundamental reason why Taiyi was determined to create a cultivation method based on his mastery of traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Composing himself, Taiyi took a step forward and arrived at the place where the spiritual bamboo was soaked in the west of the tribe.

Large square pits were soaking in a large amount of spirit bamboo. Taiyi looked at them and was quite satisfied.

However, despite being called a spirit bamboo, it is actually quite ordinary in the primordial world.

But we must take things one step at a time.

He himself was not proficient in papermaking, only knew the general idea. Now he had to figure out a mature papermaking technique step by step before considering using better materials.

Papermaking wasn't for wiping your bottom, it was for making talismans!

After checking on the soaking of the spirit bamboo, Taiyi inspected the several medicinal gardens and orchards he had opened before disappearing underground to Longmen Peak to see Huangshen off.

Huang Shenshi left without any hesitation, leaving behind a jade talisman for communication with Taiyi Shi, before taking several of his direct lineage officials and riding away in a streak of light.

After seeing Huang Shenshi off, Julingshi laughed and said, "Taiyi, I am now the god of Longmen Mountain. What divine position do you desire? Just tell me!"

Taiyi was prepared and laughed, "Brother, why don't you appoint me as the landowner of the wasteland?"
