Chapter 82: Breakthrough in foundation building, Holy Water Goddess.

Temple in the Stone.

Xu Yang slowly woke up, and the world seemed to have changed.

Yin energy is extremely compatible with one's own body. There is no need for any meditation. Just a thought can allow one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

The eyes changed from green to blue.

The azure light seems to see through everything in the world.

"This feels... wonderful."

His Yin-Yang vision had been greatly improved, and he could see spirits and see through Yin energy and illusions.

Now it has improved a lot.

The current eyes are called the Innate Yin-Yang Eyes. This eye can see the true form of demons and monsters, as well as their corresponding cultivation level.

He could accurately capture the movement of various kinds of energy; all formations and illusions could not hide from his divine eyes.

All in all, this is no different from the Monkey King's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, and it doesn't even have any weaknesses.

It becomes impossible for any demon who is proficient in the art of transformation to hide from his divine eyes.

"Congratulations, Great Sage, for regaining your Fiery Eyes!"

The old land man's voice came from all directions.

This time Xu Yang could see the core of the Land God. The core of the Land God was in a rock above his head, like mica in the stone.

"Old land god, can you sense your own acupoints?" Xu Yang asked himself.

"I can't sense it anymore."

Stone goblins have a long lifespan. There is no such thing as death for them. They will just slowly degenerate into stone.

The old land man also retained a trace of intelligence by chance.

"Well, I will teach you how to sense the acupoints. If you practice diligently every day, you will definitely return to human form."

Xu Yang's magic eyes turned, and he instantly saw the location of the acupoints inside the stone.

Under his guidance, the old land man quickly sensed his own acupoints.

"Thank you, Great Sage! I am saved!"

The old landowner's voice was excited.

"You can slowly experience it. I will go out for a while."

Xu Yang changed his mind and his soul left the underworld.

The divine mind returns to reality.

Inside the quiet room, the lifeless corpse slowly recovered its spirit, and the Yin soil in its hands turned into ordinary soil.

Xu Yang took a deep breath.

Under the effect of the Taiyin body, the surrounding Yin energy seemed to have become a lot thicker.

Especially when practicing the method of Heche, the operation of Heche was comparable to when taking elixirs and using formations for blessing.

Now with the help of formations and elixirs, the speed of cultivation is probably several times higher than before.

"Is this the feeling of being a genius?" Xu Yang said with a smile.

Sure enough, being a genius is much better than being a loser.

After attaining the Taiyin Dharmakaya, practicing Taiyin-related spells is faster. Now, there is basically no need to worry about breaking through the realm.

When other people break through to the foundation-building stage, they have to seek protection from their senior teachers and take various elixirs to protect their bodies before they can break through carefully.

Xu Yang felt that he could accumulate for a while and then make a breakthrough, and then everything would be a natural thing.

When you push open the door, what comes into view is a dense spider web.

Whoosh! !

A figure hung upside down, and its charming eyes looked at Xu Yang.

"Master, let's practice together tonight." Ruyi licked his lips with his bright red tongue, and a hint of desire flashed in his eyes.

In his eyes, Xu Yang was like a huge treasure house.

Instead of practicing, I would benefit so much from eating that thing, which is probably better than taking any elixir.

Xu Yang tapped Ruyi's smooth forehead and said, "Okay, you can go with Baizhu and Rongshen tonight."

Before retreating to break through, one must absorb the power of the cultivation treasure cave.

Of course, the other party may think so.

Arriving at the main hall, Xu Yang summoned everyone in the charity cemetery.

"Master, you're finally out!!" Qingping trotted quickly, like a little deer, and crashed into Xu Yang's arms.

"Master, is it possible that he can't come out?" Xu Yang knocked on Qingping's head. "Tell me, what happened?"

"The people from Huangya Temple took action."

Qingping gritted her teeth and spoke viciously about what had happened during this period, like an angry little tiger.

The charity cemetery’s financial resources were completely cut off, and it could only be self-sufficient.

"So what? Do they think we will starve to death?" Xu Yang smiled indifferently.

Some people are like this, always thinking that they can make others submit by controlling the source of money.

But you never expect that others will overturn the table and no one will have anything to eat.

Everyone went out from the backyard of the charity cemetery.

Marching into no man’s land.

The ancient trees are towering and the wild streams are rushing.

Surrounded by hazy fog, you can't see your hand in front of you, and even divine thoughts cannot detect it.

The dark fog could not hide from Xu Yang's eyes.

There are many buildings here, just like human streets, with shops on both sides, but there are not many people.

Except for the largest shop in the charity cemetery, the rest are empty and no one is there.

Enter the Yizhuang shop.

The shelves on both sides are filled with various mountain products, medicinal herbs, mica, minerals, and various seafood collected by Baizhu.

Although there are no top-notch natural treasures, there are many things that cultivators need in their daily lives.

The largest display cabinet displays ordinary zombies refined by disciples, as well as the Yizhuang’s main products, such as candlelight bats, candlelight mushrooms, earthquake mushrooms, white wolves, wolverines, etc.

As its reputation grew, the average price of this item has risen to fifty-five taels.

"Fifty-five taels? Can it go up further?" Xu Yang asked.

Next to the display case is a black-eyed Taoist priest named Qingtian. He inherited Liu Qing's Fengmu Charity Manor and is also Qingping's relative. He is an expert in refining corpses.

"No, if the price goes up, there will be too many alternatives for customers."

For example, you can buy a lot of ghosts from the Wugui Temple and talismans from the Yuanfu Temple.

If these zombies could move and automatically track and attack the enemy, they would not be as good as the fire talismans which cost only five taels each and are of good value for money.

Even with other resources at a discount, no one dared to take the risk of offending the two foundation-building Taoist temples.

Xu Yang looked around and said, "40% off is too little. We don't want profit, just cover costs. 80% off! We can not make money, but we must make our competitors uncomfortable."

If you can’t create the market, then be the one who destroys the market.

If the charity cemetery doesn't make money, no one else can make money.

"Qingping, find a few people to pretend to be customers and come to buy things."

A 20% discount is enough to attract a lot of people, and when there are so many people, the law will naturally not hold them all responsible.

Before, no one dared to be the first to step forward, but now that one of our own is taking the lead, this place will soon be overcrowded with people.

"Master, aren't we going to take revenge on the people of Huangya Temple?" Qingping asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, it will be solved in the future." Xu Yang remembered what Taoist Zhigang said before.

There will definitely be chaos in the future. As the grassroots of Taoism and the imperial court system, Huangya Temple will be the first to be hit.

In the future, Yizhuang can just hide behind and reap the benefits.

"Don't be too hostile to them." Xu Yang smiled with a hint of sinisterness, "They belong to Yizhuang, and Xuejian and Zhang Chu are eagerly waiting for them."

He has great love in his heart, and all his enemies become his own people.

Xu Yang didn't blame them.

"Qingping, ask Baizhu, Rongshen and the others to come over in the evening."

"Master, are you four playing games together?" Qingping's eyes widened. "Swinging with Sister Ruyi? I saw it a few days ago... Ouch."

Xu Yang hit the little guy's head hard.

"Just go if you're told to go. Why are you asking around?"

After that, he told the others to prepare the materials. Although it was easier to break through the foundation, the necessary preparations still had to be made.

If the foundation building fails, the difficulty will be doubled next time.

It would be a joke if something goes wrong in this regard.

After returning, the four of them practiced together.

The huge quiet room is like the Pansi Cave.

There were two monsters and one ghost in the cave, so powerful that they seemed to want to eat people.

The Taoist priest in the cave can subdue demons and monsters, and enlighten spirits, just like the Monkey King who beats the monsters with a stick in mythology.

…………

Yellow bud view.

More than a hundred Taoist children lined up in a row, surrounded by densely packed people. They were the talents who volunteered to practice the Dan Du Taoist Soldiers Technique.

"Today, you will join the Huangya Temple and become high-ranking monks. Even if you fail to cultivate the law, you will still be rewarded with three acres of good land and a certain amount of silver."

"Master, please have mercy!!!"

Everyone knelt down and worshiped sincerely.

If you ask which force is in the limelight recently, it is undoubtedly Huangya Temple.

Seeing these Taoist children, Rufeng couldn't help but say: "The only thing the Yizhuang relies on is the large number of zombies. Now that the Taoist temple has made up for its shortcomings, there will be basically no problem."

Rufeng has always believed that Xu Yang was the mastermind behind the murder of his junior fellow apprentice, and if he has the chance in the future, he will definitely take revenge.

Just when the master and disciple were ambitious and were embarking on their own grand undertakings.

An edict was issued from the Fire Sign Palace to the three major sects and the county leaders below.

"Each prefecture will set up a demon-subduing army. A ninth-grade temple will produce two True Qi. An eighth-grade Taoist temple will produce one Foundation Building and five True Qi. A seventh-grade Taoist official will produce two Foundation Building and seven True Qi. A sixth-grade Taoist official will have one Chu Dan and five Foundation Building. A fifth-grade prefecture palace will have five Chu Dan and fifteen Foundation Building...."

The orders were passed down level by level.

Soon, the Fire Kingdom's huge system began to mobilize.

The palace of three princes.

As a fourth-rank county palace, it must produce at least two great elixir cultivators, and Taoist Zhigang was unfortunately chosen.

Before that, he also had to put an end to the matter of upgrading his rank.

It was daybreak and the palaces and temples had not yet been opened. Long queues formed outside the temples. These were the people waiting for the palaces and temples to open and burn incense.

Zhi Gang transformed himself into a mortal and walked aimlessly among the crowd.

Soon, the palace was opened.

The crowds poured in all at once. In addition to worshipping at the Three Lords Palace, there were also various other temples.

General Yin represents the way of raising ghosts, and some ways of raising ghosts cannot be separated from incense.

The temple in front of us enshrines a woman with flowing silk skirt, a face that shows a hint of compassion and solemnity, and she holds a willow branch and a jade bottle in her hands.

The ancestral tablet has the words "Holy Water Goddess who protects life and helps the people" written in large characters.

The temple keeper holds a basin of holy water and sprinkles some on everyone who burns incense.

Some people caught a cold, but after drinking the holy water, they recovered instantly.

Some people had strange boils on their skin, but they returned to normal immediately after receiving the holy water.

Zhi Gang walked straight to the backyard.

The backyard is a unique world with abundant spiritual energy.

There are flowing water under small bridges and beautiful trees.

A lady stood tall and graceful, with white hair like clouds, and wearing a silk palace dress.

Turning around, the whole person looked like a person carved out of white jade, with delicate features and flawless white jade. It was hard to believe that such a person of upright temperament could exist in a side temple.

In the eyes of Taoist Zhigang, all the power of incense generated by mortal sacrifices poured into the woman's body.

Behind the woman is a statue that is invisible to the naked eye, and it is exactly the same as the statue worshipped by the outside world.

Seeing Zhi Gang coming over, the woman stopped practicing, and her holy and pure temperament disappeared.

This thing is certainly not a god, but an alternative way of raising ghosts.

The statues behind her are the woman’s twin sisters.

"Great-uncle Master Zhigang!" the woman bowed.

"Xianglu, I didn't expect you have already reached the first level of Dan." Taoist Zhigang said with a smile.

Zhao Xianglu's smile was stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "Uncle Master, you probably forgot that I had already achieved a breakthrough sixty years ago."

"That's right, I remembered it wrong. Ahem." Taoist Zhigang returned to the point, "You were not selected this time, but the county governor ordered you to stay in the native land and patrol the area south of Yinshan Mountain in the southwest. Your position is Dutian Patrol Envoy, responsible for deterring the local demons."

Tongshou and Huangdu are preparing to go to the front line. The homeland cannot be left empty, otherwise there will be demons causing chaos and it will be too late to rush back.

Therefore, someone must watch over the place.

"Okay, let me clean it up."

Soon, Zhao Xianglu left with eighteen celestial Taoist children and Taoist Zhigang.

A group of people stood on the broad back of a hundred-foot-long nine-headed black zombie dragon. The demons hiding in the dark saw the zombie dragon and fled away.

On the way, Zhao Xianglu suddenly remembered something.

"Master uncle, someone said that you accepted a student who was only a true qi master? That can't be true, right?"

Zhao Xianglu simply didn't believe it.

If Taoist Zhigang wanted to recruit disciples, there was no telling how many people would be willing to line up. His cultivation might not be among the best in the Fire Elephant Kingdom, but in terms of corpse-driving skills, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Taoist Zhigang was ranked number one.

If this rumor is true, wouldn't Zhao Xianglu have to call a Zhenqi period master her uncle?
The rumor was too outrageous and she didn't quite believe it. However, the atmosphere was a little silent and awkward, so she mentioned the rumor to ease the mood.

"This man's name is Xu Yang, and he happens to be from Nanlu as well. You can get to know him when you have time. He is indeed my student. If he passes the test, I will choose an auspicious day to accept him as my disciple."

"Ah?" Zhao Xianglu couldn't believe it, her beautiful eyes widened. Did she really have to have such an uncle?
She felt like crying but had no tears. Who could stop this rebellious uncle-master?

But there is still hope.

For ordinary rural Taoist priests, breaking through the foundation-building stage is extremely difficult, and the Taiyin method is notoriously a waste of time.

I'm afraid it will be more difficult for this person to break through.

I guess I can't call this guy uncle-master anymore.

"I will definitely go and meet him."

Thinking of this, Zhao Xianglu couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of talent this person had to be valued by his unremarkable uncle-master.

Inside the quiet room of the charity cemetery.

The three precious points for cultivation have been drained.

Xu Yang closed his eyes and practiced. Above the charity cemetery, negative energy formed a vortex cloud.

"Quick, quick, quick! Take down all the coffins!" Qingping ordered everyone to kill the zombies being nurtured in the pavilion, just to reserve more energy for the master to practice.

Xu Yang entered a mysterious realm.

In the lower Dantian, the azure blue mist of true Qi is like the Milky Way in the sky. The river cart runs endlessly along the meridians straight to the Niwan Palace between the eyebrows.

The Niwan Palace is like chaos, pitch black and boundless.

Xu Yang carefully controlled the river cart to break through the barrier.

The Great Circulation, collecting the great medicine, refining the Kunlun between the eyebrows.

Kunlun is the place where the soul resides. It is extremely mysterious and dangerous.

Those who want to achieve great success must practice Kunlun.

But you have to be careful, as countless people have died while climbing Kunlun.

Fortunately, the Taiyin Dharma Body has extremely high control over the true Qi.

boom! !

Finally, the Niwan Palace opened like the beginning of heaven and earth.

The blue true qi illuminates the Niwan Purple Palace.

In an instant, green light filled the sky and the earth.

From chaos to a blue world, Kunlun was opened up again.

The divine consciousness surged, and the river cart grew dozens of times larger.

The true Qi returns to the Dantian, and the nebula moves mysteriously, transforming into a deep blue full moon surrounded by stars.

This is the manifestation of the Taiyin Dharma Body and its own secret techniques and magic.

The magic skill is perfect and it feels great.

This is the foundation of the Tao that "the moon is surrounded by stars and rotates forever."
