Chapter 1042: Dao Truth Immortal Cultivation

Li Li Ximing stroked his beard and thought, asking:

"【Vastness and Suspension in the Void】, and it is the Dao of True Qi. It seems it is closely related to the Ning country."

Senior Tinglan looked at him carefully, seemingly pondering how to speak to him, and after a long time said:

"Zhao Jing... do you know the 【Dao Truth】 sect?"

Li Li Ximing was stunned in his heart, and replied in his mouth:

"Please fellow Daoist detail..."

Senior Tinglan's face was slightly strange, and she replied:

"The Dao Truth sect, totaling four veins, occupied the Xuanzhen Mountain back then, which is the territory of the Xiuyue mountain gate today... advocating the Dao of natural cultivation, the Great Dao of the five virtues... In the era of the Wei Emperor, this Dao Truth sect mainly cultivated 'True Qi' and 'Purple Qi'..."

She thought for a moment and replied:

"It's just that they don't call it 'True Qi' and 'Purple Qi', but 'True Yang' and 'Purple Yin'."

Li Li Ximing raised his brows slightly, and his heart was instantly filled with thousands of thoughts. Senior Tinglan said:

"In the ancient times, there was a True Lord cultivating in Xuanzhen Mountain, surnamed Zhuang, known by people at the time as Zhuang Daoist—at that time, people's wisdom was not open, and Daoist was a very high title. He flew to become an immortal, leaving a cave-abode in the mountain, and a book in the abode, titled 【Taihua Sutra】."

"This book was read by his six disciples together. Later, they all fell, each had successors, and they held this book together, achieving the prototype of the Dao Truth sect."

"This Dao Truth sect went very, very far in the True and Purple two Qi. 【Vastness and Suspension in the Void】... is the spiritual atmosphere proposed by their Dao system. Although when Zhou was destroyed, the True Qi and Purple Qi paths within the Dao Truth sect had differences, and the five virtues theory basically wiped out the Yin-Yang theory, the Dao treasury preserved in it was still extremely mysterious, and it was the fundamental classic of the current True Qi and Purple Qi two paths."

Li Li Ximing nodded slightly and replied:

"Dao Truth immortal cultivation, removing crowns and cutting feathers..."

Li Li Ximing naturally knew about this. Whether it was the battle record that the Cui family was proud of, or the excuse used by later generations to criticize and crusade against the Wei Emperor, it always revolved around the amazing move made by this Emperor!

Senior Tinglan was a bit surprised at first, but soon relieved, shaking her head:

"Exactly... The Wei Emperor drew his sword and left the pass, but those who cultivated immortals and forgot the vulgar, and did not save the lower people, removed their crowns and cut their feathers. Although there were more than this Dao Truth sect that removed crowns and cut feathers back then, it was indeed their fame that was the greatest."

"After the Dao Truth sect perished, the Wei Emperor read the Taihua Sutra and was amazed. He rebuilt the Xuanzhen Dao and sealed the 【Jiangling King】 to guard the mountain. The descendants of this 【Jiangling King】... were the later True Lord Tianwu!"

Li Li Ximing listened to her sorting it out, and suddenly realized:

"No wonder the Great Ning gathered the families fleeing south, and had the meaning of inheriting the legal system of the Great Wei... It turned out that there was such an origin... These things, I am afraid only your Dao system that cultivates Purple Qi understands so well!"

Senior Tinglan nodded solemnly and said in a low voice:

"I am pondering in my heart, the name 【Vastness and Suspension in the Void】, I am afraid even the Sima family does not know!"

"When Tianwu appeared back then, the spiritual atmosphere was the same as today. The two Qi matched Yin and Yang, stars in the daytime, 【Anhuai Heaven】 was raised, 【Wanling Heaven】 expanded the land, I don't know how much... The Great Ning attracted worldwide attention. Because of the destruction of the Dao Truth sect, the related Dao systems were locked in the Zhaoyuan Immortal Mansion. The Sima family and the Su family were just families, searching through the classics, and could not get the name of this spiritual atmosphere, so they had to report it as 【Zhengping Zhengping Qingwu】."

She thought:

"My master has a deduction, it should be that the Great Ning inherited the Wei system and established the imperial industry. It is not good to use the 【Vastness and Suspension in the Void】 of the Dao Truth sect, which should avoid the world and cultivate, and fly to the cave-heaven, so they used this name raised by the Sima family and the Su family."

Li Li Ximing nodded secretly, and suddenly realized:

*'So... the 【Sleeve Mansion Evolution to Perfection Technique】 that Li Zhouwei obtained from the Cui family was not an accident. It is said to be from the Immortal Mansion, but it doesn't have much Bright Yang Qi. It is very likely that it originated from the Dao Truth technique that was collected!'*

*'Cave-heaven secret realm...'*

Li Li Ximing's heart moved secretly.

Li Li Ximing and he had thought about this matter early on. Although their family was ranked in Jiangnan today, their cultivation techniques were not necessarily weaker than anyone else's, but they were truly involved in such immortal secrets, and their foundation was shallow in the end, not even having the method to walk in the Great Void, let alone the cave-heaven secret realm.

Li Li Ximing originally placed his hope on Li Li Quewan. Now that he heard this news, he was not disappointed, nodded secretly:

*'A spiritual atmosphere, not to mention lasting for a hundred years, even for fifty years... with the help of the talisman seed, Li Quewan will definitely make it in time. As for the technique to open the secret realm...'*

Spiritual objects and spiritual resources could be found, but this secret method was worth a thousand gold, and it often only existed in the treasury of large forces, which was the thing that needed to be worried about most. But he laughed in his heart:

*'There is no place else, but the Sun and Moon Shining Together world may not necessarily have it!'*

Back then, they broke the sect and destroyed the gate, killed Cheng Yan, obtained fifty-seven immortal merits, combined with the remaining to exchange for 【Ten Thousand Chariots Punishing Light Emperor Book】, and still had twelve left. Although the battle on the river did not have significant results, it also broke Xi, abolished Chiro, and countless monks died in the great war. The immortal merits were more than that time with Cheng Yan, with sixty-five.

*'After that, I don't have to worry about immortal merits, it's just a matter of solving the origin of the technique!'*

He changed his mind, and his heart added a bit of secret joy:

*'【Sleeve Mansion Evolution to Perfection Technique】 is the technique of the Sleeve Mansion. To put it bluntly, it is not too much to call it a small secret realm. If the spiritual atmosphere is of great help to raising the secret realm, it should also be able to greatly reduce the cultivation cost of this technique.'*

Li Li Ximing was pondering his own family affairs, and thanked in his mouth:

"Such secret news... fellow Daoist does not hide it at all, Zhao Jing thanks you!?"

Senior Tinglan shook her head and laughed:

"The blessed land entered the world, and Li Quexi also left seclusion. She has been practicing hard these years, her blessed fate is deep, and she is already in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. She has been making a fuss about returning to the lake to take a look... It's just that Wenqing values her and dragged her to the imperial capital for the first time, and it will take a few days to come back."

"Actually... there is another junior..."

Senior Tinglan waved her sleeves and opened the palace door. A Foundation Establishment cultivator walked in quickly. He was tall and thin, but his demeanor was very upright. He was a bit excited and bowed in front of the palace, saying respectfully:

"Junior Ding Mu, pays respects to the True Person—congratulating the True Person on his great progress in divine abilities."

Senior Tinglan laughed:

"He came from your lake. Although he has been poor in the sect these years, he has not disappointed people. Hearing that I was coming to the lake, he knelt in front of the cave-abode for several days, insisting that I bring him over, saying he wanted to thank you for your kindness."

"So it was you..."

Li Li Ximing laughed with interest.

Back then, the cultivators of the Ziyan Sect came to the lake to build the formation. There was a Daoist Cao who was romantic and took away a widow on the bank, and even took this orphan of the Ding family to Ziyan to cultivate... At that time, the child was thin and small, and he didn't expect that he would be like this today!

"How is your mother?"

Ding Mu kowtowed and said respectfully:

"The spiritual energy on the mountain is thick, but my mother had a thin fate and left early. The master was in seclusion, and I didn't know when or what day it was. I didn't even see her last side. I took care of her funeral myself and cultivated on the mountain. It has been ten years now..."

Daoist Cao was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When the Ding family was young, he could show pity, but when people were old and yellow, how could they get a look? Li Li Ximing nodded slightly, and Senior Tinglan laughed:

"Daoist Cao's Dao companion is jealous. He relied on the support of the lake in his early years and was very grateful to the lake... Looking at his appearance, I simply sent him to your family to guard the lake, which fulfilled his wish."

Senior Tinglan said it lightly, but Li Li Ximing looked at it and was afraid it was not just support. That Widow Ding could live to the end of her life, I am afraid there was a time when she was a fox pretending to be a tiger. He felt quite emotional and said softly:

"Go find Ding Weijian... at least he is your clansman."

Ding Mu wiped his tears, kowtowed three times before retreating. Li Li Ximing sipped tea and replied:

"Li Queyi was favored by Kuangyu, and her cultivation was fast, and she has caught up with her sister."

Senior Tinglan answered silently, then bowed and said goodbye. Li Li Ximing sent her all the way out and said sternly:

"Please wait a moment, Senior Tinglan, I will open the furnace to refine elixirs! I will have someone send it over then."

Senior Tinglan thanked him, and Li Li Ximing rode the light and returned, falling back to the continent, put away his smile, and rushed into the continent. The hall was extremely quiet, and Li Jiangzong and others were waiting on the side.

Li Li Ximing sat on the main seat, swept a glance, and his gaze first fell on the white-clothed boy on the side, his eyes lit up, and he asked:

"Li Jiangchun... left seclusion!"

This white-clothed boy carrying a sword smiled slightly, bowed and said:

"Reporting to the True Person, Li Jiangchun did not disgrace his mission. Last year, he cast the immortal foundation!?"

Li Li Jiangchun's seclusion time was similar to Li Li Ximing's. Li Li Ximing paid special attention to it. The family had long prepared the Suiyuan Pill refined from 【Lesser Yin】 spiritual objects. His talent was extremely high, and it was not surprising that he achieved Foundation Establishment today, but it was a great joy. Li Li Ximing nodded and looked at him with a smile:

"I don't know... how many mysteries are there?"

Compared with his brothers, Li Li Jiangchun was extremely loved, and he was very familiar with the two True Persons, so he was not timid at all, smiled and bowed:

"'Fragrance Settles', with the harmony of cold and dryness, driving water and fire, sensing good and bad, reading and browsing the green spirit, connecting to the Yin of Purple Qi above, absorbing the Taiqing, and raising the harmony of cold Qi below, nourishing weak water..."

He raised his hand and held his palm flat, and saw white light like tassels circling out of his jade-like palm. It looked unremarkable, but it brought a stream of clear Qi that made people move their eyes.

Li Li Jiangchun said warmly:

"'Fragrance Settles' is located in cold and dryness, affinity with cold Qi and Prefecture Water, can drive Purple Qi like hands and feet, and also has the ability to regulate others' injuries. The so-called absorbing Taiqing is to take Lesser Yin and Clear Qi regulating medicine like taking pure Yin magic power, operating freely, without taboos, operating the immortal foundation, and can transform the mystery of Prefecture Water to heal injuries."

Li Li Ximing listened and nodded slightly, his eyes lit up:

*'【Lesser Yin】 is not famous, rare in the world, but it is a way of harmony that everyone likes!'*

*'Not to mention this Lesser Yin and Clear Qi... it is just right for him to use!'*

He was already happy in his heart, but considering there were many people, he didn't mention it much. Suppressing his curiosity, he replied:

"Not bad. When I traveled in the East Sea back then, I saw a 【Fang Yin Pool】 in the Mount Jiuqiu Dao system. Among them was the 【Fangxi Wonderful Dew】 of the Lesser Yin Dao, which was also a treasure that healed spiritual sense, refined magic power, and improved divine abilities without endangering the foundation... I think... it was also caused by the mystery of Lesser Yin!"

He laughed:

"I will lose some face and ask for one for you!"

"Thank you, True Person!"

Li Li Jiangchun thanked him again and again and said sternly:

"The Lesser Yin Dao is only afraid of Mu Fire and Gathering Wood. The three thunders hinder each other, and they are not close to each other in ancient times. As for the twelve Qi Dao systems, there are many combinations."

Li Li Ximing nodded thoughtfully and asked:

"How is the cultivation of 【Lesser Yin Brother Xuan Lord Water and Fire Record】...?"

【Lesser Yin Brother Xuan Lord Water and Fire Record】 Li Li Ximing had read it, and the difficulty was extremely high, even vaguely above 【Great Li Bai Xi Light】. Letting him cultivate it was first to build a good foundation, and second to increase Dao practice, laying the foundation for breaking through divine abilities.

Li Li Jiangchun listened to this and said respectfully:

"Junior cultivates day and night. In addition to practicing swords, I cultivate this technique a lot. Now the foundation is complete, and a mysterious position is born in the body, accommodating water and fire..."

Li Li Ximing had read this technique himself and understood that he had reached the point where he needed spiritual objects to assist, and asked:

"What kind of spiritual objects are needed?"

Li Li Jiangchun bowed and said:

"The mystery of Lesser Yin captures water and fire. Among the fire virtues, the Chu Huan and True fires are both subject to the decree. Although the Li is far away, it is barely used. But it is only afraid of Mu Fire. Among the water virtues, it likes Prefecture Water the most. Wherever the mystery reaches, the Kan and Pin will also be obedient. Only it is incompatible with Lu Shui. It cannot be said to be restraint, but it is fighting in the mystery and cannot be easily compatible."

"The old master often asked me, and early prepared the 【Picking Weak Water】 of Prefecture Water and the True Fire 【Long-term Yuan Fire】 for me, and nurtured them in the mysterious position all the time to assist cultivation."

Li Li Ximing listened and laughed, replying:

"Grandfather is old, his vision is higher, and he understands that Prefecture Water and True Fire correspond to each other, enough for you juniors to learn carefully!"

Everyone nodded, but Li Li Ximing actually had more plans in his heart.

*'If there is a chance, and the family is well-off, perhaps I can find a spiritual water and a spiritual fire for him.'*

Li Li Jiangchun certainly couldn't refine the things of the Early Zifu, but if the family really had this condition, Li Li Ximing could take action and seal it into his aperture, which would definitely be of great benefit to him.

It was just that this matter had not yet been settled, and mentioning it in front of a group of brothers seemed too partial. Li Li Ximing kept it in his heart and asked:

"Li Jiangqian's side... is there any news?"

Li Li Jiangchun's eyes lit up and replied:

"Big brother left seclusion once last year. I heard that his Dao practice has improved again, his body is full of flames, and his power is extremely heavy. He originally wanted to pay respects to the True Person, but couldn't see him, so he went back to the mountain to cultivate."

Li Li Jiangchun spoke implicitly and did not mention the secret method. Li Li Ximing nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Li Minggong, saying:

"Let him come to see me."

"Yes!?"

This woman went down all the way. Li Li Ximing asked about cultivation, added encouragement, rode the light, fell on Mount Zhijing Mountain, simply opened the jade box, and took out the 【Three Branches Qi Qiuxin Leaf】.

This True Qi spiritual object had spiritual light flashing on the leaf veins. It was already missing a corner, so it should be refined quickly. After a few years, the spirituality weakened again. Li Li Ximing adjusted it with Pin Water and Purple Qi, put it into the furnace, and planned to refine the pill with one heart and one mind.

Li Li Ximing's alchemy was profound today, just patted the alchemy furnace, and felt secretly:

"'Heaven and Earth Bright' is completed, with the blessing of life divine abilities, alchemy is more calm... especially this method of 【One Heart and One Mind】, which echoes with life divine abilities, and the speed of alchemy is greatly improved..."

He hadn't touched the alchemy furnace for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart. His movements were flowing like clouds and water. He closed his eyes and forgot himself. Nine times of the sun and moon shining together, he saw the furnace mouth vibrating, fragrance everywhere, and six emerald green pills with purple were sprayed out. Li Li Ximing slowly exhaled and collected them calmly.

*'This alchemy is much easier than cultivation!'*

【Three Branches Qi Qiuxin Leaf】 was missing a corner after all, and the medicinal properties were lost. It was not easy to refine six pills. He took out two, sealed them carefully, called someone up, and ordered:

"These two... send them to the Ziyan Sect."

He looked at the remaining four in his palm, thought carefully, took out the cloth, wrote down the efficacy and materials carefully, and added a few strokes of 【Hearing that the senior was injured in the treasure hunt, I am worried... this thing is of great benefit to the injury... if there is a need, please order...】, sealed two, and said:

"Send them to the Tujun Sect!"

This person hurriedly agreed and said cautiously:

"True Person... the eldest young master saw the fire on the mountain and didn't dare to offend, and has been waiting under the mountain for nine days and nine nights..." ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
