Chapter 63: Secrets of the Absolute Spirit Land (Subscription Request)
"Huh... Your Majesty left the palace and went to the Golden Emperor Peak of Mount Daizong. Is it to seek immortality again?"
In the Pepper Palace, Concubine Cui felt much more at ease after hearing the report from her subordinates.
Yesterday, I used a magic incense to confuse Your Majesty, causing him to fall into a deep sleep, but we did not have sex.
Even so, she still stayed by Zheng Yi's side to take care of him for a long time.
Looking at Zheng Yi's face, Concubine Cui was also filled with emotion.
If she hadn't met her master, she would have been His Majesty's favorite concubine by now.
pity……
The road to immortality is rugged and she can only walk alone.
Four years ago, she was canonized as a noble concubine. When she returned home to visit her relatives, she met a Taoist nun on the way.
She easily stunned the accompanying palace maids, eunuchs and guards, and explained that she possessed top-grade spiritual roots, the most outstanding spiritual roots in the land of absolute spirituality, and that they had a master-disciple relationship.
He then demonstrated his immortal secrets, which opened my eyes and made me willing to become his disciple.
The Taoist nun calls herself "Xuan Ji Zi" and is a person who practices Taoism and travels around the world in search of the great way.
He met Cui Xiabing by chance, and after seeing that he had top-grade spiritual roots, he took the initiative to accept him as his disciple.
Afterwards, Cui Xiabing followed Xuanjizi to practice, and even brought him into the palace and into the Pepper Room.
Unfortunately, after teaching Cui Xiabing for two years, Xuanjizi traveled around the world again, looking for opportunities.
At the same time, he warned Cui Xiabing that her school was called "Xuan Ji Men" and the martial arts they practiced was called "Sunv Yin Sha Gong", which was only suitable for women to practice.
And you must not destroy your virginity during practice, otherwise all your skills will be completely destroyed.
Only when one's own cultivation reaches the third level of Qi training can one have sexual intercourse.
From then on, your cultivation level will improve rapidly, which can be regarded as one of the secret methods of dual cultivation.
Unfortunately, before the master left, he had said that if one wanted to rely on the "Su Nu Yin Sha Gong" for dual cultivation, it would be better to find a male cultivator.
If an ordinary man uses the "Su Nu Yin Sha Gong", his energy will be absorbed in a short period of time, which will do him more harm than good.
"Ugh……"
Thinking of the precautions that her master had mentioned before he left, Concubine Cui couldn't help but sigh.
After three years of cultivation, her level of cultivation was only at the second level of Qi training.
I have failed Master’s teachings.
But the master also said that a thousand years ago, the world changed drastically, the spiritual energy dissipated, and the path to immortality was cut off.
To be able to reach the second level of Qi training in three years in this spiritual land is already considered a genius!
"I have the secret method of cultivation, and your majesty has been seeking immortality, but I cannot speak it out because of my master's teachings."
Cui Xiabing said in distress: "Besides, Your Majesty is just an ordinary man. If you practice the Su Nu Yin Sha Gong with me, it will definitely hurt the dragon body. What should I do..."
"Empress~"
Just as she was worried, Xiao'er walked in: "My lady, His Majesty sent a lot of things, including Shu brocade, silk, jade pendants, rare ancient books... Look! There is also your favorite orchid~"
Cui Xiabing forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty. Xiao'er, please take these things."
“Yes~!”
Xiao'er happily asked his men to put away the things bestowed by His Majesty, but Cui Xiabing looked behind them.
There were two eunuchs and two palace maids standing there, but she didn't know them.
"Xiao'er, who are those four people?"
Xiao Er said, "Those are the newly assigned maids and eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are good at growing flowers, and these orchids were planted by them."
"This servant, the small table/small stool, greets the Imperial Concubine!"
"Get up~"
Cui Xiabing said, "Since you are assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you two will live in the garden behind the Pepper House from now on. You are not allowed to come to the front hall without my order. Do you understand?"
"promise!"
She looked at the two palace maids again, and Xiao Er quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these two palace maids are good at mixing perfumes, and they were specially prepared for you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs~"
"Perfumery?"
Cui Xiabing thought for a moment and said, "Well, let them stay. What are your names?"
The two palace maids stepped forward and spoke one after another:
"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, this servant Caiyun is here."
"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, this servant Caiyue is here."
"Greetings, Madam Concubine~!"
"Get up."
Concubine Cui thought for a moment and said, "I like quietness. You can only move around in the front hall and are not allowed to enter the room. Do you understand?"
“Yes~!”
"Okay, I'm tired, you guys go down."
"Yes, your concubine."
Everyone left one after another, and Cui Xiabing was frowning again, not knowing how to face His Majesty.
In the end, I can only sigh.
"Ah... let's practice first."
"Because of Yang Xuansu's rebellion, I haven't practiced for almost a year."
"While His Majesty is away, hurry up and practice."
Cui Xiabing shook her head, went to the secret room she had specially built, and began to practice.
"According to Master, there are no spiritual stones in this world, and the spiritual energy is very thin. We can only rely on water grinding to condense spiritual energy."
"I don't know when I can break through to the third level of Qi training...!"
……
Golden Emperor Peak.
Zheng Yi walked up slowly, surrounded by a group of Taiyi disciples.
At this moment, the sun had just risen from the sea of clouds, and the originally milky white color actually revealed a dazzling golden light under the shining of the sun.
Under the sunshine, everything comes alive.
The sea of clouds rolls and golden light shines.
His eyesight is so good that he can even see the moisture in the air clearly.
Looking at the red sun from afar, the scorching sun shines brightly on the world.
Zheng Yi couldn't help but be stunned by such a beautiful scene.
"This world... is truly a fairyland!"
Zhao Suling at the side also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the sun is rising and the sea of clouds is rolling. This is the most famous wonder of our Mount Daizong."
"If your majesty is interested, you can stay in Mount Daizong for a few more days to enjoy the beautiful scenery."
"really?"
Zheng Yi smiled and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you all, Taiyi Dao."
"Where, where..."
"Your Majesty, I am honored to have you here..."
The group of people continued to move forward. It was already the coldest time of the year, but the top of the Golden Emperor Peak was still green.
Most of them are pine trees, cypress trees, plum trees, etc., and there are many more ancient trees that Zheng Yi can't even name.
It is so green and lustrous that it makes people linger.
The strangest thing is that there are more than ten cranes wandering around here, sometimes lowering their heads to eat, and sometimes spreading their wings to fly.
"Golden Emperor Peak is like a fairyland. I believe that this old Heavenly Master Zhao Xizheng must also be a fairy..."
As Zheng Yi was speaking, the faces of several Taiyi Taoists around him looked a little strange.
Zhao Suling also hurriedly led the way: "Your Majesty, please, the place ahead is where our Master is in seclusion..."
"Ok?"
After turning a mountain road, Zheng Yi's expression changed slightly.
Even the virtuous prince beside him asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what's that sound?"
A slight chewing sound seemed to be heard by several people's ears.
just like……
What kind of animal is gnawing on food?
After a few more steps, the view suddenly opened up.
The sun rises, illuminating the heaven and earth.
In front of us is an open valley with a large number of ginkgo trees planted around it and a thick layer of ginkgo leaves on the ground.
The sunlight shone through the ginkgo leaves and illuminated an old man with a white beard and wearing a purple robe.
The white-bearded old man had white hair and beard, but his complexion was as rosy as a baby's.
At this moment, he was... grabbing a chicken leg and gnawing on it.
His hands and beard were covered with grease and meat residue. There were at least seven or eight chicken leg bones on the ground beside him, as well as other grilled food such as roast suckling pig and roast pigeon, and he was feasting on them.
Zheng Yi's mouth twitched and he said, "Is this the old Heavenly Master Zhao Xizheng whom I want to see?"
Zhao Suling also covered her eyes, but still said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is my humble master."
"Master."
He hurried forward again, bowed and said: "This is the current emperor of Dayu, please come to the master..."
"The Emperor is coming?"
Zhao Xizheng suddenly raised his head, looked at Zheng Yi with a grin, his eyes seemed to have a whirlpool swirling.
With a flash of his body, he appeared in front of Zheng Yi. He attacked him three times as fast as lightning.
The speed was so fast that even the virtuous prince next to him couldn't react.
“Protect…!”
He shouted loudly, but before he finished shouting, he saw Master Zhao Xizheng retreating at an even faster speed than before, and a series of piercing buzzing sounds came to his ears.
"oops!"
"Your Majesty! I was just joking with you!"
"Quick, quick, take those bugs back!"
"Ouch~!"
Master Zhao Xizheng kept shouting, and everyone then realized that there were several blood-red insects flying in front of Master Zhao Xizheng, forcing him to retreat continuously.
In front of Zheng Yi, there was a blood-red flying insect the size of a baby's fist floating, obviously commanding these strange insects.
Zheng Yi finally reacted at this time and quickly called back the Blood Moon Gu. What does Zhao Xizheng mean?
Are you going to do this to me the first time we meet?
If it weren't for the Blood Moon Gu protecting...
However, he also realized that Zhao Xizheng was no match for these Blood Moon Gu!
I sacrificed ten Blood Moon Gu myself, and it really was very useful!
When the Blood Moon Gu was called back, all the people from Taiyi Sect were terrified and subconsciously knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"His Majesty……"
Only Prince Xian was protecting Zheng Yi, but his mind was recalling the several flying insects that had just flown out from in front of Zheng Yi!
He could feel that he was no match for those flying insects!
Zheng Yi let out a long sigh and said, "Nothing, everyone get up."
"Master Zhao? What do you mean?"
At this time he also realized that Zhao Xizheng had no intention of killing him at all, so he asked back.
"You guys go down~"
Zhao Xizheng waved his hand, and several Taiyi disciples who came with him looked at each other and retreated one after another.
Even Zhao Suling bowed respectfully and retreated.
"Uncle, you should go down too."
The virtuous prince said: "Your Majesty? I am here and can still protect you..."
"Need not."
Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "I think with Master Zhao Xizheng here, no one can hurt me in the slightest."
"Hehehe, of course!"
Zhao Xizheng also laughed and said, "A warrior who has just entered the Xiantian realm, not bad, not bad. It seems that the Dayu royal family is not that corrupt yet."
The virtuous prince's expression darkened, but he bowed and retreated.
Zheng Yi then said, "Master Zhao, is there anything you can say now?"
He also realized that Master Zhao had no intention of killing him at all.
All his actions are like those of a child, just an old naughty boy.
Zhao Xizheng walked over with his head shaking, but his movements clearly showed a bit of fear.
Those blood moon insects could also pose a threat to him.
"Little Emperor of the Zheng Family, I, the Taoist priest, have heard from my disciples that you want to seek the way of the immortals, right?"
Zhao Xizheng picked his ears and blew it away casually, saying, "Don't beg me, you have no chance."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Zheng Yi was not angry at all, and asked curiously: "Please ask Master Zhao to explain."
Zhao Xizheng came over and said with a grin, "If I tell you, can you give me one of the red bugs you trained?"
"Land of Absolute Spirits, you can actually sacrifice and cultivate such a strange insect, it is really... unbelievable!"
Zheng Yi frowned, then relaxed his brows and said, "I spent a lot of money and resources to refine the Blood Moon Gu. Your chips... are not enough!"
Zhao Xizheng immediately scratched his head and said, "What should I do? What can I give you in exchange?"
"Eternal Spring Kung Fu? No, you know how to do it!"
"The Vitality Purple Clouds Technique? That won't work either. You can't practice it..."
"Oh, trouble, trouble~! Why don't I pass the position of Taiyi Sect Master to you..."
The corner of Zheng Yi's mouth twitched. He was already the emperor of Dayu. What was the point of wanting the position of the headmaster of Taiyi Dao?
"Master Zhao, you only need to tell me why I cannot seek immortality and the secret of this land of absolute spirits, and you can exchange it for a Blood Moon Gu from me!"
"The secret of the Land of Absolute Spirits?"
Zhao Xizheng asked curiously, "Don't you have records in the imperial family of Dayu? Have you forgotten it because it was passed down orally?"
Zheng Yi's heart was moved, but he quickly reacted: "My father was already seriously ill before his death, and his speech was unclear. I didn't hear it clearly."
"Now that I have learned from the old Heavenly Master, it can be regarded as a verification."
“I see… no problem!”
Zhao Xizheng laughed and said, "I, the Taoist priest, have taken advantage of you..."
"A place of absolute spirits..."
Zhao Xizheng randomly found a stone and sat down, and Zheng Yi sat on another stone without any airs.
After this move, Zhao Xizheng looked even more satisfied.
"To talk about this matter, we have to start from more than a thousand years ago... No, about three thousand eight hundred years ago."
"According to my Taiyi Dao classics, during that period, blood rained from the sky, meteorites collapsed, the earth dissipated, and the spiritual energy tide..."
Zhao Xizheng spoke slowly and Zheng Yi listened attentively.
As time passed, the sun finally reached the center of Golden Emperor Peak.
After some explanation, Zheng Yi also learned what the place of absolute spirituality was.
According to the old Taoist priest Zhao Xizheng, more than 3,800 years ago, this place was a place for practicing Taoism.
Although there are not many cultivators, there are still quite a few.
Afterwards, heaven and earth changed drastically, with meteors dotting the four places and blood raining from the sky. Then the spiritual energy dissipated, and eventually there was no more spiritual energy.
The once prosperous world of cultivation also began to undergo drastic changes.
At first, nothing can be felt, but as time goes by, the cultivators cannot make any progress in their cultivation, the spiritual herbs cannot grow after being consumed, and the spiritual stone veins are reduced as they are dug.
However, in just a few hundred years, the entire world of cultivation collapsed.
In order to fight for the remaining cultivation resources, countless sects and monks began to fight for it.
In the end, even a ten-year-old Huangjing would be snatched away by Yuanying cultivators!
During that period, the world of cultivation was in great chaos, and countless powerful sects were conquered by numerous alliances of independent cultivators.
Even the Shenzhou continent, known as the holy land of cultivation, was broken into several continents and tens of thousands of islands of various sizes by the joint efforts of countless high-level cultivators.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators might be ambushed and killed by Qi-Condensing cultivators in successive battles due to the dissipation of their spiritual energy and the inability to replenish their magic power!
After another thousand years, cultivators finally became extinct and were no longer seen in the world.
And mortal states were also born, forming one dynasty after another and beginning to occupy the entire world.
The cultivator who once roamed the world disappeared and has not been seen for hundreds of years.
Zhao Xizheng told Zheng Yi secrets one after another, causing him to feel overwhelmed and unable to control himself.
What if I were to travel back in time to the heyday of cultivation 3,800 years ago?
However, there is a high probability that he will only become a member of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Zhao Xizheng took a sip of the wine and said, "By the way, the land occupied by your Great Yu Dynasty used to be a mountain gate called 'Ephemeral Sect'."
"The entire Dayu Dynasty, and even the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Shan Kingdom, and the Yu Kingdom to the south, were once the sphere of influence of the Mayfly Clan."
"I remember that there is a killer organization called 'Ephemeral Tower' in the martial arts world. It was formed by the remaining monks of the Ephemeral Tower, and its purpose is to assassinate you emperors."
"Hey hey hey..."
Zhao Xizheng smiled and said, "More than a thousand years ago, hundreds of independent cultivator alliances and cultivator families actually joined hands and took advantage of the fact that the high-level cultivators of the Ephemeral Tower and the Shanhai Sect were seriously injured in the battle to capture the gate of the Ephemeral Sect and destroy the Ephemeral Sect!"
"After that, the entire sphere of influence of the Ephemeral Sect was occupied by the remaining dozen or so cultivator families, who took away much of the Ephemeral Sect's heritage."
"What a pity! Hundreds of years later, it still benefited your Zheng family and several other royal families."
Zheng Yi's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Master Zhao, have you ever heard of the 'Dongyun Family'?"
"The Dongyun family? Yes."
Zhao Xizheng rolled his eyes at Zheng Yi and said, "Isn't that the family that was destroyed by your Zheng family? At that time, there were only three cultivators in the early stage of Qi training left in the Dongyun family. They were drowned by your Zheng family using human wave tactics, and that's how the Dayu Dynasty was founded."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Dayu has been established for more than 300 years. I wonder what the situation is like in the world now?"
Zheng Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him and was still sorting out the information he had obtained from Zhao Xizheng today.
After a few breaths, he suddenly asked again: "Just now, Master Zhao said that my quest for immortality and the Way of Taoism has no chance. Why is that?"
"It's very simple."
Zhao Xizheng took another sip of the wine and said, "When we just met, I checked your credentials."
"You have practiced the Hundred Battles Blood Blade quite well, and have actually entered the ranks of first-class warriors."
"With this kind of martial arts talent, no one has a stronger talent than you, except for you, Zheng Mingsen, the founding emperor of Dayu."
"But... you don't have spiritual roots, so you can't practice Taoism."
"Spiritual roots?"
Zheng Yi frowned and asked, "What is a spiritual root?"
"Spiritual roots... just think of it as a talent for martial arts. Without spiritual roots, you can't sense and condense spiritual energy, and of course you can't practice cultivation!"
With Zhao Xizheng's explanation, Zheng Yi quickly understood the special features of spiritual roots.
If a mortal wants to embark on the path of cultivation, he must possess spiritual roots.
Among them, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are the most common.
Wind, thunder, ice, fire, light, darkness, blood, etc. are special spiritual roots.
However, among mortals, only one in ten thousand is born with spiritual roots.
Spiritual root qualifications can be divided into low, medium, high and top grades.
Those with five spiritual roots have the highest level of cultivation only at the late stage of Qi training, and are also called pseudo spiritual roots.
Those with four spiritual roots have only a very small chance of breaking through the foundation-building stage, and they are low-grade spiritual roots.
Those with four spiritual roots are also the largest group in the world of cultivation.
Whether it is a sect, a family, or other forces.
The only ones worth cultivating are those with three spiritual roots or above.
The third spiritual root is a medium-grade spiritual root
Double spiritual roots are top-grade spiritual roots.
As for single attributes, they are called top-grade spiritual roots.
It is also called the Heavenly Spiritual Root!
A cultivator with natural spiritual roots has an excellent sense of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Can break through the bottleneck in a very short time.
As long as there are no unexpected events on the road of cultivation, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Even in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, there is a high chance of impact!
Unfortunately, people with natural spiritual roots are extremely rare.
Even if we calculate based on the tens of millions of monks in this world.
Among them, the number of cultivators with natural spiritual roots is only counted on the palm of your hand.
Zhao Xizheng just personally tested Zheng Yi and found that he had no spiritual roots.
No chance of practicing Taoism!
