Chapter 117: I am quite knowledgeable about the way of the soul!
After returning from Liao Zhong, Wang Yuanjing's Yang Shen returned to Longhu Mountain.

"Nothing has gone wrong during my time as a Yangshen, right?"

He asked into the air.

"."

"That's good."

Wang Yuanjing nodded. He was talking to the Three Demon Ladies in the interior scene.

Compared with ordinary Quanzhen disciples, he has a unique advantage.

Ordinary Quanzhen people, even masters in the Yangshen realm, will face the embarrassing situation of having no one to take care of their bodies after they leave the Yangshen realm.

But he is different. Even if his yang soul is not in the physical body, he is still protected by the Three Demon Ladies. This is one of the meanings of the existence of a Taoist companion.

“It’s really mysterious!”

Recalling his first experience of becoming a Yangshen, Wang Yuanjing couldn't help but feel a little longing.

Feng Xu rides the wind, and the end of the world is just around the corner.
Even compared to the gods in those vernacular novels, it is not much different, right? It is hard to imagine what kind of power the higher level of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void will have.

After the Yin is exhausted and the Yang is pure, one reaches the Yang God realm, so there is no need to be as cautious as when one is still in the Yin God realm. The acquired Qi from the outside world is no longer so easy to infect the Yuan Shen, so Wang Yuanjing dares to let the Yang God travel hundreds of miles without any worries.

According to the conversation between Zhong Zu and Lu Zu, refining the spirit and returning to emptiness should be an irreversible process. By the time one's yang spirit generates wisdom fire and burns the body, it should not be possible to produce yang spirit like it is now.

But by then, perhaps other mysteries will emerge.

Besides
Wang Yuanjing's soul left his body again, and two talismans condensed in the void. He closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then opened his eyes.

"Sure enough, the power of Tongtian Talisman in the Yang Shen state seems to be greater."

He began to figure out the trick.

The development of talismans has a long history.

The so-called talisman must have a talisman, but the talisman is not the talisman. The talisman is the talisman and the talisman is the talisman. In fact, the two should not be called together. The earliest record in the Taoist scriptures should be called talisman, because the talisman is shaped like seal script, not a talisman.

The term "Talisman" is actually due to the erroneous carving by the people.

However, the word "箓" in "Tongtian箓" is used with profound meaning.

A talisman is a list of ghosts and gods, which records their names, clothing, functions, and methods of summoning and using them. The method must be accompanied by corresponding talismans, which are called Dharma talismans.

Therefore, the talisman originally contains talismans, and its purpose is higher.

Perhaps this is also one of the origins of the name "Tongtian Lu".

Back to this method
In order to cultivate a talisman from the "Tongtian Lu", one must first communicate with the innate Qi in the Lingtai Fangcun, and only then can one draw the talisman in the void.

The innate Qi comes from the void and turns into human life in the mother's womb. The talismans used in the state of Yang Shen are more powerful. Is it because it has broken free from the constraints of the flesh, which indirectly proves that the existence of Yang Shen is closer to the innate Qi, closer to the Xuanpin Gate of the mother of all things, the so-called Tao?
In this case, the advanced method of refining the spirit and returning to the void to achieve the unity of soul and body has also been verified?

“Perhaps there will be an answer in the Tongtian Scroll?”

Wang Yuanjing seemed to be thinking about something.

It had not been long since he had obtained the Tongtian Talisman, and since he thought he had no shortage of offensive means, he only took two functional talismans for practice.

That is, the immortals are trapped and the scriptures are sealed.
Later it was used on Ma Xianhong with good results.

However, during the spiritual communication process, he did not feel the mysterious feeling of being in harmony with the Tao as described above. Whether it was due to the two talismans themselves or other reasons, he might need to find a few more samples to verify it.

However, the most urgent task now is to resolve Chen Duo's issue first.

"I am entangled in worldly affairs!"

Wang Yuanjing sighed.

He has too many reasons to get involved in this matter.
Putting aside the cause and effect of Chen Duo, Madam Sanmo's new home still falls on Ma Xianhong. He has no habit of owing favors to others, so he has to help this silly boy Ma Xianhong.

Besides
There is also the matter of Huang Ning. Although I don’t know why that person has not taken any action against me all these years.

Was it because he was in Yongle Palace and couldn't do anything? Or was it because he simply didn't have the time to take care of me.

Wang Yuanjing couldn't make up his mind.

Although the other party did not attack again, the hatred had already become an established fact, and he always felt uncomfortable if he did not remove this thorn.
It's a good opportunity to use the incident in Biyou Village to test the waters.

"."

"Senior Tianshi, I am here to say goodbye."

In the room, Wang Yuanjing said.

"Oh? You're leaving now? You won't stay for more than a few days."

The old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, and said kindly.

With Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu being two rotten woods in front of him, the old Taoist priest now likes Wang Yuanjing more and more.

This subcategories me!

"There are still some mundane matters to take care of down the mountain."

Wang Yuanjing replied.

"Aren't you waiting for Lao Lu's Reincarnation Triple?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard.

"I will come to visit you when the time comes."

He hadn't even finished the work of the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, so there was no rush to refine his spirit.

"Do you have any ideas for this trip?"

The old Heavenly Master asked.

Wang Yuanjing hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

"I plan to visit the Huode Sect and the Wuhou Zhuge family."

There was a gleam in the old Taoist's eyes, and he looked thoughtful, then he said with a smile.

"Since you already have an idea, go down the mountain."

After finishing his farewell work, Wang Yuanjing bowed respectfully to the big boss.

When someone does us a favor, we should always remember it in our hearts.

"good!"

The old Taoist priest felt the other party's sincerity and looked relieved.

"Mr. Bi, come here! Look at my stove."

In Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong called Bi Yuan to the room with an excited look on his face.

The latter looked puzzled. "Will you be able to produce Yang Shen?"

he asked enthusiastically.

"Out of the Yang Spirit? Village chief, you think too highly of me."

Bi Yuan was speechless.

"Is the Yangshen very powerful?"

Ma Xianhong was a little confused. Last time, Bi Yuan only told him and Chen Duo the concept of Yang Shen, and did not expand on the rest.

"Not very impressive, but quite impressive."

"Besides, that person is not just a simple Yang Shen, but a true Yang Shen realm."

Bi Yuan thought about it and decided to popularize some knowledge in the circle to this technical geek.

"Village Chief, let me ask you, do you know the inner alchemy sects in the circle now?"

"Are you talking about the inner elixir that those Xuanmen practitioners cultivate?"

Ma Xianhong looked confused.

Bi Yuan was not surprised. This was the true appearance of most extraordinary people. People who were not in the Xuanmen sect often knew the results but not the reasons behind them.

"Most people may think that Xuanmen's alchemy is to cultivate a golden elixir in the body, but this is not the case."

The "dan" in Neidan actually refers to a person's essence, energy and spirit, that is, life, rather than elixir in the physical sense.

The so-called inner alchemy is more like a metaphor extending from the outer alchemy.

Extracting the more subtle from the coarse, and extracting the invisible from the visible, this process is like refining external elixir.

"Does this have anything to do with what you said, Mr. Bi?"

Ma Xianhong was puzzled, as the two of them were clearly talking about Yang Shen just now.

"This involves the two largest factions in the circle regarding the inner alchemy path."

All the ways of inner alchemy are bound to involve the tempering of life, and how to temper life has many branches extending from this goal.

The two largest Taoist sects today - Zhengyi and Quanzhen - have different ways of practicing inner alchemy.

The inner alchemy of Zhengyi has adopted some of the ideas of Zhonghuang Zhitou.

"The Wuji is the true center, so it is said that the saints pass on the truth from one another to another in this center."

"This is the middle of Yao and Shun's Yunzhi, Confucius's Shizhong, the Yijing's Huangzhong Tongli, the Durenjing's Zhongli Wuqi, Sakyamuni's Kongzhong, and Laozi's Shouzhong."

"However, the word 'center' has two meanings. If it is said that the center is fixed, then it is here. If it is said that the center has no fixed location, then the place where heaven and earth meet is the true center."

"This so-called middle is the root of their life and nature that they cultivate."

Bi Yuan talked eloquently, and seeing that Ma Xianhong looked confused, he changed his explanation to a simple and easy-to-understand one.

"To put it simply, compared to the Quanzhen Golden Elixir Way, they have blurred the role of the Dantian and used the Golden Light Curse to focus on tempering the root of life and death in the truth. Therefore, for them, nature and life are not so separate."

The Quanzhen Golden Elixir Way is relatively traditional, and its shadow can even be seen in the practice of many extraordinary people today.

"You should have seen a picture of a baby inside a human body, right?"

Bi Yuan asked.

Ma Xianhong nodded.

"Many people thought the baby was inside the body, but in fact, the baby was outside the body."

“This is called having a body outside of one’s body.”

"You can also understand it as producing Yang Shen. Those who can produce Yang Shen are considered outstanding in the entire Quanzhen world."

"But above this, there is an even more powerful realm, the Yangshen Realm!"

"To be able to reach this realm is an amazing achievement even in the entire Quanzhen. There are very few Yang Shen people."

Bi Yuan was full of emotion.

Although the news of the Luotian Grand Ceremony has not yet reached here, how could Bi Yuan not recognize this person who was rated as the number one person of the younger generation three years ago?
A Yang Shen realm master in his twenties! This is unheard of. The future of this alien world.
It’s going to change!
Ma Xianhong listened for a long time, but only understood one meaning from Bi Yuan's long speech.

That means Wang Yuanjing is very powerful!
Pretty impressive!

Thinking of this, he felt a little better. At least it was not shameful to be defeated by such a master.

Besides, when he develops a magic weapon against Yang Shen
It’s still unclear who will win or lose!
"So, village chief, you are lucky to have such a great master to help you!"

Grandpa Bi was sighing again, but Ma Xianhong just thought he was being noisy.

"So I have to wait for him to come over before the soul plate of my self-cultivation furnace can operate?"

The village chief couldn't hold back any longer.

Bi Yuan thought about it.
He had long known about the hidden dangers of Ma Xianhong's furnace, so even though he had been following him, he did not think that the other party could withstand the pressure and refine the furnace.

But now that Wang Yuanjing has joined, maybe we can really give it a try?
Ever since.
"That's not necessary. If you, the village chief, just want to verify the effect of the self-cultivation furnace on the soul, I have a way."

"What method?"

Ma Xianhong asked impatiently.

Bi Yuan slowly took out the needle from his arms, and his five fingers danced in the air.
In the blink of an eye, needles were inserted into various important acupoints on his body, and then a somewhat illusory soul slowly walked out of his body.

"Village chief, although I don't know the way of Yang Shen."

"But he also knows a lot about the soul!"

Bi Yuan chuckled, seeming to enjoy the surprised look from Ma Xianhong.

　Ma Xianhong: Eat my Anti-Yangshen Armor!

　　The Zhengyi alchemy method is actually a creation of the author, and his main purpose is to show more things about Taoist culture.

　　In reality, Zhengyi places more emphasis on talismans, and there is no unified opinion about alchemy.

　　The so-called Zhonghuangzhitou is actually a type of alchemy method, known as the Zhongpai.

　　In reality, there are some Zhengyi Taoist priests who practice Taoism, but they cannot represent all of them, so please don’t be surprised if there are Zhengyi Taoist priests among the readers.

　　In the comics, the alchemy method of Zhengyi and the alchemy method of Quanzhen should be different, because the people of Zhengyi do not show the characteristics of Yangshen.

　　So the author's words are just throwing out some ideas, and everyone can just enjoy reading them.

　　Those who are interested can find out for themselves.

　　If I send out another 3k, I should only have 8k left today. I will try to send out the remaining 2k before 12:.
