Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi spoke and handed the boundary stone fragment to Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan accepted it with peace of mind and immediately took this opportunity to ask the Fenhai Zhenjun some questions about Daoist cultivation.

Yanshi said, "In the Dharma Form Realm, there may still be some people of mediocre aptitude, but every cultivator in the Master Yu Jing Realm is a genius of their time. Even the worst among them are not that bad. Everyone's Dao techniques are combined with their own Mind-Reflection World, each with its own characteristics. Dao techniques in the Master Yu Jing Realm can be roughly divided into four types. This is my personal classification; listen carefully."

Wei Yuan's spirit was lifted, and he immediately listened with full concentration.

"The first, and also the most common, is the various types of powerful attack Dao techniques. Among these, the fire and thunder systems are the most common, because these two systems have strong killing power and many inheritances. For example, fire rain falling from the sky or a thunder forest; once unleashed, they can easily destroy a city. Many Master Yu Jing Realm cultivators follow this path.

This path has the most direct killing effect on the battlefield, but its disadvantage is that the casualties are difficult to control, and it is very easy to become tainted with karmic retribution.

The second is to take the steady route. Just like your founder Xuanyue, who cultivated a large number of protective Dao techniques and focused wholeheartedly on tempering himself; many people's magic treasures are not as hard as his fists. Those who don't know the truth might think he intends to attain sainthood with his physical body and is going to steal business from the Bright King Hall.

The Five Elements Dao soldiers you chose can also be classified into this category. Dao soldiers have weaker power in the early stages, but they become stronger the more they are used. They belong to a typical late-stage Dao technique. Generally, cultivators who believe their Dao path will not stop at the early Master Yu Jing stage will choose this.

The third is the various Dao techniques related to luck and destiny. For example, what I specialize in belongs to this category. This type of Dao technique requires talent, and it only requires talent."

The last sentence was said lightly but made Wei Yuan admire him to the point of prostration. He immediately began to carefully ponder every move, every frown, and every smile of Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi, so that he would not be too clumsy when he performed them himself in the future.

Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi finally said, "The last is the immortal arts of health preservation, longevity Dao formulas, and the like. Anything that can enhance the spirituality of the Mind-Reflection World falls into this category. This type of Dao technique aims to increase lifespan and the spirituality of the Mind-Reflection World, pointing directly to the immortal path. However, their ability to fight is weak. If there is no powerful master or friend to protect them in ordinary times, it is very easy for them to die prematurely."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan's heart stirred again, and he asked, "This type of cultivator must have other superior qualities, right?"

Yanshi nodded and said, "That is true, otherwise how could they have people protecting them for a lifetime? The spirituality of the Mind-Reflection World of this type of cultivator is much higher than that of other cultivators, so they often cultivate some immortal herbs and spirit beasts in their Mind-Reflection World to contribute to the sect. Some top-tier immortal items can only grow in the Mind-Reflection World."

Wei Yuan's heart stirred again, and he asked, "What kind of immortal items are there?"

Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi said irritably, "Cultivating immortal items consumes one's own spiritual energy and will slow down cultivation progress. You are currently not lacking in Heavenly Merit or money; why are you asking about this?"

Wei Yuan said, "The disciple is just curious."

Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi snorted. He naturally saw through Wei Yuan's little thoughts and transmitted a piece of jade paper, saying, "The more beginner-level ones are listed on this. In addition, I have a few seeds of the Huiyang Grass here. It is not impossible to give them to you, but there are conditions."

Wei Yuan's spirit was lifted again. He was not afraid of conditions; he was only afraid that the other party wouldn't even mention them. He said, "What is the origin of this Huiyang Grass, and what is its use?"

Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi said, "This item is the main ingredient for the Great Sun Morning Splendor Elixir. This elixir can increase the probability of breaking through from the Dao Foundation to the Dharma Form. Depending on the quality of the elixir, the medicinal effect ranges from ten percent to thirty percent."

This was exactly what Wei Yuan needed. In the future, the young men and women of the Xu family would need a massive amount of auxiliary elixirs to break through to the Dharma Form. And any elixir that could increase the probability of breakthrough was at an astronomical price. Wei Yuan could manage to buy ten or twenty, but he couldn't afford hundreds.

Wei Yuan immediately said, "Serving the sect is a matter of great righteousness. Whatever the Fenhai Zhenjun requires, just command it!"

Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your mouth is certainly glib. My requirements are not high, just two. One is that I am a bit tight on cash recently, so have your founder Xuanyue hurry up and pay back the ten million taels of immortal silver he owes me; paying back five million is also fine. The second is that the Dao heart of that girl Liuli is probably still going to fall on you, so you should hurry up."

Wei Yuan said solemnly, "The second matter is the disciple's duty! But the first one..."

Wei Yuan thought to himself, let alone ten million taels, even one hundred thousand taels, Founder Xuanyue probably couldn't produce. Wei Yuan himself had owed over twenty million over the past few years, and counting Heavenly Merit and various contributions, he had already paid back more than half. And Wei Yuan hadn't even seen the money Founder Xuanyue borrowed later; he didn't know where the old man had spent the money, as he couldn't even afford an immortal robe worth a few tens of thousands of taels. Speaking of magic treasures, Wei Yuan had deeply realized the principle that cheap goods are no good. The storage magic treasures he bought that cost a few thousand taels of immortal silver had all been completely destroyed, and over one hundred thousand taels of immortal silver had gone down the drain. Wei Yuan had regretted more than once that he should have gritted his teeth and bought a million-level storage magic treasure; he might have been able to use it until now.

Seeing Wei Yuan hesitate, Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi said, "Ten million taels, no room for negotiation! These are the grass seeds; do you want them or not?"

A golden light appeared in Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi's hand.

"Want, of course I want them!" With the bone already placed before him, how could Wei Yuan not wag his tail?

Moreover, this grass was different from other immortal plants; this was an immortal medicine that could be harvested and sold for money.

Wei Yuan felt that the spiritual energy in the Mortal World was too abundant, resulting in the cultivation of a large group of ungrateful wretches. The sect of the Creation Immortal Venerable was not only squeezed out of the top ten, but there were always people digging up stone tablets with inscriptions one day, and catching a fish in the sea the next, with a piece of cotton cloth filled with writing in the fish's belly.

It seemed that many readers of the history books Wei Yuan stored in the Mortal World had already begun to apply what they learned.

Rather than getting angry watching these guys, it was better to use the spiritual energy to cultivate some medicinal herbs, which could also subsidize household expenses. Wei Yuan felt he was a good man who cared for his family.

The reason he thought this way was also because a few days ago, a cultivator had sneaked up to his door and said that a great man should take the world as his home.

This kind of low-level attempt to persuade him to usurp the throne was seen through by Wei Yuan on the spot, and then he drove the man out to show that he had no intention of rebellion.

Seeing that Wei Yuan had agreed, Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi didn't make him swear an oath and directly transmitted the grass seeds over. As it turned out, the grass seeds were three golden-red spheres the size of water vats, each one extremely heavy, weighing several thousand catties. Wei Yuan was almost crushed and hurriedly stored them in the Mortal World.

After Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi disappeared, Wei Yuan took out the magic treasure for talking to Founder Xuanyue and tried to input spiritual power to call the founder.

!

After only a few breaths, the voice of Xuanyue, full of energy and sounding in a great mood today, rang out from the magic treasure: "Good grand-disciple, what is the matter for calling the old Daoist?"

"Why is the founder in such a good mood today?" Wei Yuan hurriedly chimed in.

Xuanyue laughed and said, "Your founder is preparing to rebuild the Heavenly Azure Hall; the materials and manpower are almost ready. If you have time, come back and take a look. This time, your founder is going to bring honor to our ancestors; the new Heavenly Azure Hall will be at least one hundred and twenty zhang high! From now on, this will be our facade, the ten-thousand-year foundation left for future generations."

Thinking that the main hall of the Heavenly Mystery Hall was only ninety-nine zhang high, Wei Yuan understood somewhat why Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi was here to collect debts.

But the problem was, Wei Yuan had already accepted the grass seeds and sent them into the Mortal World, and the young girl Yin-Yang was currently lacking immortal plant nodes. Plus, these three grasses looked good, and their function was to dispel dampness, which was good for the legs and joints of people who lived by the water for a long time, so she just planted the grass beside her.

At this point, the karma was formed, and even if Wei Yuan wanted to go back on his word, he couldn't.

Wei Yuan still held a glimmer of hope and whispered, "Fenhai Zhenjun Yanshi asked me to bring you a message, saying that the ten million taels of immortal silver you owe him should be paid back..."

On the other end of the magic treasure, Founder Xuanyue laughed three times and said, "You kid don't need to wish me good health; I am doing just fine!... What did you say? Why can't I hear you clearly again? This broken magic treasure is just not easy to use; I'll have to change to a good one later..."

Then the magic treasure went silent, and Wei Yuan also fell silent.
