Chapter 42: The Secret of the Spiritual Seed

Just like before, Lin Yu's manifestation on Tiantai Mountain was not just a simple act of kindness.

He pointed out Sima Chengzhen, actually wanting to see if this contemporary Daoist master could use his knowledge and wisdom to help him deduce and perfect this relatively unique cultivation system.

If he could do it, that would naturally be the best. Even if he couldn't, it could serve as a reference.

Anyway, Lin Yu wouldn't lose anything, so why not do it?

As for the spiritual seed, it is actually a lower-level substitute for the spiritual root, which does not possess the supernatural abilities exclusive to the spiritual root, and can only grant the recipient the qualification to absorb food and transform it into magic power.

Lin Yu created the spiritual seed mainly to further spread this power system.

After all, the spiritual root ability is too comprehensive, and currently only Lin Yu can create it.

But the spiritual seed is different. It is not a physical existence like the spiritual root, but a magic power matrix constructed by Lin Yu in the human body using the meridian system and Zhou Tian circulation.

Theoretically, as long as one learns the method, anyone with magic power possesses the ability to bestow a spiritual seed.

Of course, the method of constructing a spiritual seed is extremely complex. Even Yun Ye and Su Haoming currently would probably find it difficult to succeed, let alone Sima Chengzhen, who had just obtained the qualification!

But nothing is absolute, and Lin Yu was looking forward to whether this Daoist master could bring him some surprises.

For example, simplifying the construction method of the spiritual seed...

After bestowing the "Spiritual Seed Chapter," Lin Yu said calmly: "According to this monarch's calculation, shortly after, the Emperor of the Great Tang will summon you to the capital to ask about yin-yang numbers and the governance of the country..."

Summon me to the capital?

Sima Chengzhen was stunned, then said respectfully without any doubt: "Yin-yang numbers are all small paths. The disciple practices the Dao with all his heart, and the rest of his life is only to perfect this Dao of internal elixirs!"

Lin Yu shook his head: "This monarch reveals the secrets of heaven, not to ask you to refuse. On the contrary, you will have many opportunities on this trip, which will help you perfect this Dao of internal elixirs..."

"In addition, if you meet my Bai Yu Capital reincarnated True Monarch on the way, you can make friends with him, do not offend him."

"The disciple will remember!" Sima Chengzhen nodded seriously, then asked suspiciously, "But True Monarch, the disciple is a mortal, how can I distinguish the identity of the reincarnated True Monarch?"

Lin Yu smiled: "This is easy. All those who enter my Bai Yu Capital have white jade with them. As long as you see such a jade pendant, it must be another reincarnated True Monarch of my Bai Yu Capital!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu took out a jade pendant and showed it to Sima Chengzhen.

Sima Chengzhen was a bit envious, thinking to himself when he would be able to get such a jade pendant.

With distracting thoughts, Sima Chengzhen calmed down, carefully remembered the exquisite patterns on the jade pendant, and bowed:

"Thank you, True Monarch, for the reminder!"

"Good."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, then carried his hands behind his back, clouds born with every step, and stepped on the clouds and left in the blink of an eye, leaving only an immortal poem drifting from the sea of clouds.

"In the sky, the Bai Yu Capital, twelve towers and five cities. The immortal strokes my head, I receive longevity upon binding my hair!"

Sima Chengzhen looked dazed, and the scene of the True Monarch stroking his head and bestowing the seed appeared in his mind.

"The immortal strokes my head, I receive longevity upon binding my hair?"

Sima Chengzhen muttered a few words, then took a deep breath, stuffed the "Spiritual Seed Chapter" into his bosom, and hurried down the mountain.

No matter what, let's gather the Tiantai School disciples first, build the Huan Yu True Monarch statue, and show the disciple's piety!

……

……

With ten minutes left until the return, Lin Yu finally returned to Changan.

At this time, only Su Haoming was left in the County Lieutenant's residence.

Seeing this, Lin Yu simply stepped into the door and revealed his figure.

"Lin Dage!"

Su Haoming showed joy and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him:

"Where did you go after not seeing you for a day?"

"That's a long story!"

Lin Yu said with a smile: "Three mountains and five peaks, five lakes and four seas, I basically visited them all. I encountered many interesting things along the way, and I estimate they will spread to Changan in a while!"

"……Ah?"

Su Haoming looked at Lin Yu blankly.

Lin Yu didn't care, scanned casually, and soon found Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng in the county prison.

"No wonder your cousin isn't here, so he was thrown into prison after all..."

"Was it like this in the original work?"

"That's right, what's the reason this time?"

"What other reason could there be, he offended those high officials who drank the red tea!"

Su Haoming sighed and whispered: "As for the charges, Lu Lingfeng violated the Crown Prince's order and left the mansion privately. My cousin was valued by the Princess because of this, but he refused the Princess's recruitment, which is why he was punished and thrown into prison."

Lin Yu said with interest: "What do you intend to do?"

Su Haoming said as a matter of course: "Of course, do nothing!"

As he spoke, he smiled and said: "I have already sneaked into the Princess's mansion and overheard the Princess's arrangements. She intends to promote him in name but demote him in reality, transferring my cousin out of Changan to serve as the Nanzhou Sima!"

"Isn't this a coincidence? I didn't intend to stay in the capital anyway. Leaving Changan is just what I want!"

Meaning he's back to the original world line...

"What about Lu Lingfeng?"

"Don't know!"

Su Haoming answered without hesitation.

Lin Yu was speechless. This guy really only cares about Su Wuming's situation.

"Don't talk about this." Su Haoming smiled and said, "Lin Dage, calculating the time, you are about to return soon. Coming to see me before leaving, you must have something important to entrust, right?"

"Correct."

Lin Yu nodded and told Su Haoming about his arrangements for today.

Su Haoming exclaimed: "In just one day, Lin Dage actually did so many things!"

"According to this, will the Shangqing Tiantai School be a force under our Bai Yu Capital from now on?"

Lin Yu smiled: "Sima old Daoist's status in the Daoist sect is not as simple as just the Tiantai School founder. He is over seventy years old now, has profound Daoist methods, and is a master-level figure in the entire Daoist sect."

"Recruiting him is equivalent to recruiting the Daoist sect. In the future, when you walk in the world, you can contact him more..."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll of Daoist scriptures and a jade pendant and handed them to Su Haoming.

"This is the 'Spiritual Seed Chapter' and the jade pendant I mentioned before. The former allows you to bestow spiritual seeds yourself and develop forces, and the latter is made by me with magic power jade, which is a symbol of the True Monarch's identity."

Su Haoming reached out to take it and sighed: "Owe Lin Dage another favor..."

Lin Yu laughed dumbly, shook his head, and said: "What favor, if you feel bad, just treat it as working for me!"

Su Haoming was stunned for a moment, then cheered up: "Don't worry, Lin Dage, I will definitely not fail the trust and help you develop the forces!"

……

……

Shortly after, the countdown in the group chat finally reached its end.

Accompanied by a burst of silver light, Lin Yu returned to the Frieren world.

Having the lesson from when he entered the Tang Gui world, this time, Lin Yu did not resist.

After all, that world already had his various arrangements, and there was no need to take the risk of world destruction to try.

What's more, a trace of his consciousness was still preserved in the jade pendant he gave to Su Haoming!

This trace of consciousness was extremely weak, so weak that it couldn't even produce intelligence.

But even so, it represented that he had finally successfully smuggled in, deceived the group chat and world consciousness, and forcibly stayed in that world!

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lin Yu's face.

His gaze shifted, as if he could cross the endless void and see the Tang Gui world.

This was not an exaggeration, but an objective fact.

Lin Yu could indeed faintly perceive the existence of that trace of consciousness.

According to the connection between the two, he could even gradually locate the void coordinates of the Tang Gui world.

As for how long this process would take, Lin Yu had no idea in his heart.

But no matter what, being able to take the first step, reaching the other side was just a matter of time.

Besides this, there was one more thing that Lin Yu was quite concerned about.

That was this return, what was brought back was not only the Sacred Scripture, but also the body that had been used for a day!

Lin Yu looked at the body in front of him thoughtfully.

After a moment of thought, he decided to leave the Sacred Scripture behind, use it as a clone through indirect control, and personally implanted the latest spiritual root into the clone's Dantian Qi sea, allowing this clone to also embark on the path of magic power cultivation.

After doing all this, Lin Yu's heart moved, and he didn't rush to increase the clone's cultivation, but opened a portal and stepped into the internal universe for the first time in a human body...
