Chapter 12: Fire King
Yizhuang.

It was a dark, windy, cloudy day with tall walls standing tall.

The three corpses were sacrificed together in the pavilion, and yin energy flowed into the coffins.

Fire rose in the pavilion in the middle, and the dark red charcoal fire baked the ceramic mold, melting the gold in it.

Xu Yang closed his eyes and practiced, absorbing the surrounding Taiyin power, and the Taiyin power penetrated into his body like fireflies.

The stage of feeling Qi is mainly about meditation, while the stage of true Qi is about the circulation of the river cart around the body.

The bardo body is close to Yin energy, so it is relatively easy to sense Qi. It won’t take long before “the river cart starts to move and the true Qi is fumigated” and it enters the realm of true Qi.

After a long time, Xu Yang gathered his energy and finished his practice.

Qigong Master: Xu Yang
Realm: Feeling Qi

Supernatural powers: Bardo Dharmakaya.

法术：阴阳眼。河车宫养生秘箓·感炁真炁篇（入门 136/1000），烛火法（小成2/500），金坛赶尸秘法（小成2/500），秘传槐木灵郎（入门6/200)
The Candlelight and Golden Altar Methods have already achieved some success, and have initially formed a strong combat capability.

Wait until it is completely melted, then pick up the ceramic mold and pour it onto the clay on the floor. The molten gold cools in the air and forms a golden line.

After it cooled down completely, Xu Yang took the gold thread, scissors and the blueprint to repair the formation.

After completing the formation, he took out the Heaven, Earth and Human Blood Pill from the Qiankun bag and fed it to Grandpa Ren.

This is a day’s practice.

Meditate and practice, feed zombies, repair formations, and occasionally draw talismans and make pills.

Xu Yang weighed the remaining half bottle of blood pills and thought, "I still need a little more of this."

Zombies are still corpses after all. Their corpses will rot and they need a place to nurture them. The spiritual power of these three acres of spiritual fields is just enough to nurture three zombies.

If there were any more zombies, there would be no place to keep them warm.

Xu Yang recently discovered that blood-feeding pills can replace spiritual fields. This thing is also good for feeding zombies, but the consumption is high.

"Forget it, let's go to the county first."

Today is the ordination ceremony.

…………

In the county town, the roofs are connected and the streets are paved with bluestone slabs. Pedestrians come and go on the road, and their faces are ruddy than those of the villagers.

The existence of monks is not a scourge; on the contrary, they bring high-yield crops that allow mortals to survive, and they also cast spells to make it rain during droughts.

It is easier for people to survive now than in the ancient times of Xu Yang's previous life. Even if there are cultivators secretly harming people, the mortality rate is still lower than in the ancient times of his previous life.

The carriage arrived at Huangya Temple.

The tall buildings and red doors are solemn and majestic.

There are couplets pasted on the side of the door.

"The spiritual light is in the Dantian, the black pearl under the water, and the yellow bud in the soil."

"The sun rises and shines on the vast ocean."

Yellow bud view.

There are many palaces, pavilions and terraces.

Such a grand building is actually a palace in the county, and it is estimated to be more than two hundred years old.

"Who is this?"

"Gaoshan Yizhuang, Taoist Xu Yang!"

Xu Yang gave his name.

The boy leads the way.

clang! !

Taoist boys and servants struck the gong and blew the trumpet.

Inside the courtyard, the altar had been set up, with smoke rising and fireworks blazing.

There is a basin of clear water in front of the altar.

Xu Yang walked towards the altar with a solemn expression.

On both sides, there were strange people watching, including Yaksha, old man, eerie young man, and Xuanying whom he had met before.

"This is the abbot of Danfeng Temple who will ordain you, and this is Lord Zhang, the official from the county town." The Taoist boy introduced them and Xu Yang bowed.

Zhang Zheng glanced and said nothing.

Dan Feng nodded slightly and said, "Stand in front of the altar, I will help you become a citizen!" "Thank you, Taoist Priest!!"

Dan Feng stood in front of the altar, holding a whisk and chanting a spell.

Zhang was placing a talisman on the table and then went downstairs.

"The Fire King, the rank of Heaven. He controls the power of the 800-li Yinshan Mountain, controls the powerful demons, and chases the monsters of the meteors. Please cast your seal to help the Taoist Xu Yang from Gaoshan Yizhuang, Quhuang County, Dijie County, become a citizen!!"

Xu Yang stood still, feeling uneasy.

I don’t know what the road ahead holds, and I don’t know if entering this path is a trap, but in this dangerous and terrifying world, if you can’t fight back, you have no choice but to join.

Become a more fierce and cruel existence.

Besides, I have the silk book from the Warring States Period. As long as I practice persistently, I will surely become a saint.

It seems to be to show off his supernatural powers.

Dan Feng waved his whisk.

Wow!
The yellow wind is a thousand feet high, rolling in the sky like a dragon on the earth.

"Sign and seal!"

On the table is a French certificate with his native place, date of birth and name written on it.

The unqualified Taoist priest Xu Yang.

Gulu!
The basin of water on the table seemed to be boiling, and an object was reflected in the water.

Its entire body is snow-white, it has four arms, an elephant trunk, and Yin Fire is burning around it.

The image flashed by, leaving a flaming lotus mark on the French document.

"Fire King?" This was the only guy who fit Xu Yang's impression.

"From now on, you will be a naturalized Taoist priest and inherit the Changming Spiritual Field. If you practice diligently and accumulate merits, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to the ninth rank and enjoy more resources." Dan Feng pointed to the blank space in the lower right corner of the book, "This is where merits are recorded. Merits can be exchanged for rare treasures, secret techniques, etc."

"You can sense the things that can be exchanged by sensing the French 'River Road Tradition'."

"Also, take over the French book and remember to guard the eight directions and subdue the demons and monsters." Dan Feng instructed.

"Thank you, senior! I will keep it in mind." Xu Yang took the French certificate with both hands.

After traveling through this world for more than two months, I finally reached the realm.

Xu Yang returned to the crowd.

People didn't know whether the congratulations were sincere or false, and some people gave him red envelopes. Xu Yang also knew quite a few people there.

All the nine temples are located here.

"Master Xu, congratulations." Xuanying came over and said with a smile.

"Master Xuanying." Xu Yang responded with a smile and immediately put away his magic book.

This is just a minor episode and not worth mentioning.

Dan Feng was just doing his routine work, and he didn't look at Xu Yang differently. Zhang Zheng didn't have the energy to be polite to this country Taoist priest. He might die the next time he saw him.

Zhang Zheng slowly walked onto the stage.

Everyone held their breath, some even gasped, as if there were some great benefits.

"Without further ado, there is a ninth-rank position in the county government. Now I will tell you how to obtain the title."

Zhang Zheng shot out a red light, which formed cinnabar-like words.

Barbarian Buddha: The remnants of the Barbarian Buddha in Yinshan, if you kill one, you will be rewarded with 10 merits. True Qi, if you kill one, you will be rewarded with 50 merits. If you build your foundation, if you report clues, you will be rewarded with 10 merits, and if you kill one, you will be rewarded with 200 merits.

Tan clan female cultivator: A strange demon who looks like an ordinary person. She practices the method of Yinghuo's wedding dress and is good at bewitching people into dual cultivation. If the dual cultivation succeeds, she will plunder half of the other person's cultivation. Killing her will reward 100 merits.

Everyone was humming in low voices.

Xu Yang was also thinking, Yinshan Mountain runs through the entire Fire Elephant Kingdom, and demons often come down to earth to kill people, these are all ways to gain merit; now the county government has issued a special order to target them, it can be seen that the power of the barbarian Buddha should not be underestimated.

"The Barbarian Buddha is the remnant of the Fire Wheel Buddha Kingdom. The Fire Elephant Kingdom was formerly the Fire Wheel Buddha Kingdom. Six hundred years ago, the Fire Elephant King acted on behalf of heaven and conquered the Buddha Court and established the Fire Elephant Kingdom. He has been hunting down the Barbarian Buddha remnants ever since."

Perhaps in order to repair the relationship and make up for his own leak of the information, Xuanying whispered to introduce Xuyang.

"We are the Heche Dao lineage, and the Heche Palace's state master was also suppressed by the Buddhist Court before."

"Silence..." Zhang Zheng spoke again, and everyone instantly quieted down. "My clan has discussed with the superiors and added one more thing: collect the Heart Grass, and hand it over to me personally. The merit will depend on the year."

"The one with the most merits will be awarded the ninth rank and ten acres of spiritual farmland, and our clan will also award one hundred magic coins."
