Chapter 19: Source of North and South Sects, The Most Ferocious in the World

Evening, Hongfu Huayuan.

Dark clouds rolled in with a gust of wind, pressing down on the top of the head, as if it would rain at any time.

Just entering the residential area, Zhang Fan looked up at the weather, but found a person standing on the roof not far away.

Looking down, the downstairs was surrounded by people.

"Brother, don't jump first, bring some popularity to my live broadcast room... Family members, look above my head..."

"Do you have any humanity? Brother, listen to my advice, go to the next residential area to jump, I just want to buy a building there."

"The world is going downhill... You above, are you jumping or not? I'm getting off work."

Bursts of noisy sounds rose, setting the atmosphere quite well.

"Jumping off a building again?" Zhang Fan glanced at it, but he was not surprised.

People jump off this building every year. From a scientific point of view, it's not clean, there is a ground-bound spirit, and every year it has to find a substitute to change.

Because of this, Hongfu Huayuan is considered a residential area with very low housing prices in the old city, and even the rent is much cheaper.

Regarding this, Zhang Fan had to admire his father's vision at the beginning, actually choosing such a geomantic treasure land. Over the years, he has saved a lot of rent. Every time the landlord wants to raise the price, he always encounters someone jumping off a building.

Bang...

Just as Zhang Fan walked to the entrance of the building, a violent sound came from behind.

"Okay, another one gone!" Zhang Fan sighed.

Entering the door, the room was pitch black. Turning on the dim light, it reflected the simple furniture. In the corner, there was a large red and blue woven bag...

Obviously, this was Zhang Lingzong's luggage.

"Have you been back?"

Zhang Fan put down the food he had just bought: marinated beef tongue, pig head meat, mixed three shreds, and some duck products... These dishes were already extremely luxurious for their family.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Listening to no response, Zhang Fan put down his mobile phone and took out a small booklet from his bag, on which the three big characters 【Dao Secret Record】 were clearly written.

This was left to him by Daoist Pojie before he left, which recorded Daoist common sense, as well as cultivation methods and taboos.

"Finally, I didn't worship the Zhenwu Mountain hall in vain." Zhang Fan grinned and chuckled.

Now, he is also considered a member of the Daoist gate, and what he needs most urgently is the cultivation method.

Now Zhang Fan's goal is very clear: reach the 【Gao Gong】 rank as soon as possible to compensate for the lifespan lost by awakening the divine ability.

Besides that, only by reaching the 【Gao Gong】 rank is it possible to take out the 【Zhenwu Jade Tablet】 in his body.

Zhang Fan always has a hunch that if this thing stays on his body, it will be a time bomb, and sooner or later it will bring about a murderous disaster.

"Gao Gong... is Xia Weisheng's realm."

Zhang Fan opened the booklet and found the 【Inner Alchemy Chapter】.

The so-called inner alchemy method is like the internal energy heart-method in martial arts novels.

For a Daoist priest, once the primordial spirit recovers, it will never easily perish again.

Unless the conscious spirit is agitated, constantly consuming the yang energy in the three treasures of 【Essence, Qi, and Spirit】. When the yang energy decays to the extreme, the primordial spirit will return to silence again.

Therefore, ancient Daoist priests liked to escape into the deep mountains and stay away from the red dust. In this way, without the interference of external things, thoughts gradually extinguished, and the conscious spirit could no longer make trouble.

Back then, Sakyamuni also sat withered under the Bodhi tree for forty-nine days, extinguishing all thoughts, before he suddenly realized and achieved the status of Buddha.

Modern people cultivate, it is impossible to live away from the group and enter the deep mountains.

Therefore, while suppressing the conscious spirit, constantly strengthening the primordial spirit becomes particularly important.

How to strengthen?

Rely on the inner alchemy method, gather medicine into the body, refine true yang, and nourish the primordial spirit.

In the Daoist gate, the most common "medicine" is spiritual energy, which the Pure Yang Patriarch called Heavenly Light in the 【Taiyi Golden Flower Essence】.

This is also recognized as the most orthodox Daoist great medicine.

Besides that, there are methods of gathering the essence of the sun and the moon as medicine, such as the 【Sun Crow and Moon Rabbit Method】.

There are also many methods of using external alchemy to catalyze internal medicine, such as the 【Alchemy Mother Transformation Qi Method】.

There are also methods of gathering and supplementing one's own essence and qi as medicine, such as the 【Three-One Return to Origin Method】 of Laojun Mountain, etc.

After gathering medicine, use the human body as a tripod furnace to refine yang energy and nourish the primordial spirit...

This is the Daoist inner alchemy method. As the primordial spirit and yang energy become more flourishing and the physical fitness becomes stronger, one can cultivate and display various arts.

Especially great arts like the 【Five Thunders Orthodox Method】, not only require talent to comprehend, but also require thick yang energy to display and a strong physical fitness to carry.

From this, it can be seen that Xia Weisheng not only has great talent, but also looks down on everyone in the cultivation of inner alchemy.

"It really is all-encompassing..." Zhang Fan watched for a while and felt dazzled.

What he is most interested in is naturally the most orthodox Daoist method of gathering spiritual energy as medicine.

Even so, there are many ways for this kind of inner alchemy method.

For example, there is an extremely profound inner alchemy method on Mount Zhongnan, which is a secret that is not passed on, named 【Taiyi Containing True Method】. As for the formula, it is simple, only one sentence: Guard the true one in the heavenly valley, qi enters the mysterious origin, and you will reach the Taiyi true essence.

Where does the 【Heavenly Valley】 in the 【Taiyi Containing True Method】 refer to in the human body? Even a slight difference won't work...

In addition, qi enters the mysterious origin...

Where is the 【Mysterious Origin】 in the human body? How much to gather? What kind of heat? How many days after gathering medicine can it return to true yang? These key points are the secrets that are not passed on by each sect and lineage, and every step is refined to the extreme.

"Cultivation is a science." Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, among the many inner alchemy methods of Zhenwu Mountain, he chose a very special and ancient method, named: Source of North and South Sects!

"The source of the North and South Sects turns the hexagrams, and the morning and evening heat matches the Heavenly Pivot. If you learn this kind of immortal method, you will step into the Heavenly Capital once you hear the Dao." Zhang Fan comprehended seriously.

The human body is 【Lower North and Upper South, Kun North and Qian South】 according to the hexagrams, which is the innate positioning.

"South is the Upper Energy Center Niwan, belonging to Li Fire; North is the Lower Energy Center Qi Sea, belonging to Kan Water..."

"Heavenly light enters the body, the holy fetus condenses, take Kan to fill Li, the wonder is in the reversal, innate positioning, returning to the source..."

It must be said that among many 【Inner Alchemy Methods】, 【Source of North and South Sects】 appears extremely special, but how special...

Zhang Fan now cannot say.

"Hmm!?"

Just then, Zhang Fan turned to the last page of the 【Inner Alchemy Chapter】, but saw a special method marked with a red pen...

"【God-Demon Holy Fetus】!?" Zhang Fan glanced at it: "Can it actually use thoughts as great medicine to gather and refine?"

Zhang Fan showed an unusual expression. It must be known that practitioners are most afraid of wild thoughts flying...

The God-Demon Holy Fetus method is extremely unconventional, but besides that, there are only a few comments...

The most ferocious in the world, neither orthodox nor evil, throughout the ages, our generation does not touch it.

"There is such a wonderful inner alchemy method in this world." Zhang Fan thought, wanting to see more, but it was already finished.

It only said that for those who practice this method, there is an obvious characteristic: they never sleep.

Ancient books say, when essence is full, one does not think of desire; when spirit is full, one does not think of sleep... It is precisely because the primordial spirit of those who practice this method is strengthened to an unimaginable realm.

Dong...

Just then, a sound of closing the door pulled Zhang Fan's thoughts back. He stuffed the booklet under his pillow and walked out of his room.

Zhang Lingzong walked in. Having been on the construction site for many years, relying on selling physical strength to support his family, his figure was both thin and lean, and his dark skin appeared rough, but his eyes were unusually bright, without any turbidity of middle-aged people.

"Dad..." Zhang Fan called out.

Zhang Lingzong turned around and was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan didn't understand.

"Haven't seen you for half a year, you've lost weight." Zhang Lingzong said casually.

"Let's eat, I bought food."

There didn't seem to be any topic between father and son, and this meal was eaten very gloomily.

"Dad, I have graduated now, you don't have to go to the construction site." Zhang Fan lowered his head and said while eating.

Zhang Lingzong didn't speak, just said "Hmm".

"Then you don't have to go out again this time..." Zhang Fan chased after him.

"We'll see, eat first." Zhang Lingzong took two bites, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and walked to the bedroom.

"Don't clean up, I'll do it later."

As soon as the voice fell, a sound of closing the door rang out. Zhang Fan looked up at the closed door, but didn't feel anything.

Zhang Lingzong had been running around for many years, and he had no friends around him, so he developed this silent personality.

It was late at night, Zhang Fan cleaned up the house and cleared out a pile of garbage.

He checked the time, it was already past twelve o'clock.

"Dad, I'm going out to throw out the garbage."

Zhang Fan called out gently at the door of the room, seeing no response. It was so late, he thought he should be asleep.

He picked up the garbage and walked out of the house quietly.

The faint moonlight shone through the window into the bedroom. On the table next to it were two bottles of sleeping pills...

That sturdy and thin figure leaned against the window, took a cigarette from the cigarette case, pinched off the filter...

Zhang Lingzong looked at Zhang Fan's figure downstairs and couldn't help whispering: "Really grown up..."

As soon as the voice fell, the fire lit up, ignited the cigarette with the filter pinched off, took a light puff, and the smoke slowly exhaled, covering Zhang Lingzong's face.
