Chapter 356 Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are tired

Gu Qingyuan returned after completing his mission. The magic power in his body was not very extensive, but it was as crystal clear as jade. His previous mission was successful, and he saved the trouble of refining his magic power and removing the dross in the future. It was a move that achieved twice the result with half the effort.

At this point he has not yet fully accomplished his goal, so he will calm his mind, abandon his five senses, and grasp the most fundamental feeling in his mind - consciousness, so that he can become one with the heaven and earth and visualize all things.

A great sun slowly rose in his heart. With the help of this visualization picture of the great sun's descent to the world, Gu Qingyuan's heart and thoughts, his spirit and intention, and his body and soul came together to form a trinity. He visualized a ray of pure yang flame and obtained the fire essence of the great sun.

A faint fire surrounded Gu Qingyuan, but it did not burn the soil, rocks or plants. Instead, it gave rise to a pure vitality that caused the plants to grow and the birds and beasts to rejoice. In a blink of an eye, the grass was knee-high and surrounded him in a circle.

His mind moved, and the Great Sun Visualization Picture slowly dissipated, leaving only a faint flame. Gu Qingyuan captured the flame mark with his consciousness, engraved the Taoist talisman, spelled the magic scroll, and in a blink of an eye, he created a Great Sun Pure Yang Fire Talisman.

As soon as the talisman was completed, it absorbed and released magic power, dyeing the crystal jade mercury with strands of flame, gold, and red. It then circulated for a few more weeks until all the magic power was transformed into pure true yang fire magic power. Only then did Gu Qingyuan stop.

He stood up. It was late at night with a dim moon and few stars. Gu Qingyuan counted with his fingers and a bit of his magical power fell on the candles on both sides of the statue. The lights were as small as beans, standing quietly. They could not be blown away by the wind or extinguished by the rain. They turned into a perpetual lamp.

Although the lamp is an ordinary object, the light is mysterious and extraordinary. With just this little light, all evil spirits will avoid it. Holding this True Yang Lamp, no evil spirits can get close to it. It is half as fierce as the real magic weapon that can kill evil spirits and demons. If all the righteous people in the Xuan Sect know about it, they will cry for their parents and beg for a ray of protection from the enemy.

Gu Qingyuan felt a fire power in his body, but it was only a shallow layer, shallow, or scarce, much less than that of the cultivators at the same level. However, his power was different.

The operation of magic power requires doing as one wishes and being seamless, like an arm or a new limb. It is the real way to move at will and do what one wants. If one uses unorthodox methods, the practice of magic power can be regarded as dregs, as there are many constraints in its operation. Even if it is the authentic Xuanmen that has truly taught, in terms of operation, it is like a galloping horse against a slow tortoise. When fighting, a slight difference will lead to a huge mistake. As soon as the other party started to gain momentum, Gu Qingyuan had already blasted him in the face with his magic power. How could he win?

A wisp of magic power swept across and cleared the Fulong Temple thoroughly. Gu Qingyuan touched his abdomen. He had an immortal body, but also a mortal body. Although he had some magic power, he was not yet at the stage of not eating grains or food. He needed an endless supply of magic power and a continuous circulation to reach the state of fasting, where one could eat wind and drink dew and survive on only one Qi. Moreover, his actions drew upon his body's innate energy and the essence of his flesh and blood to refine his magic power and take the elixir of human body, but it depleted his flesh body and he needed to replenish it.

He searched for a while, but only found a pot of cold porridge, which was made by his predecessor a few days ago. It was the transition between autumn and winter, and the mountain was cold. He placed the pot of good porridge aside and divided it into two parts, one for noon and one for evening. Although it was bitter, it was peaceful.

"Half of the overnight cold porridge is left over. Life is getting worse and worse."

Gu Qingyuan said with a smile, he had not felt this burning hunger in a long time, and when this thought came to his mind, he felt somewhat aroused and not troubled.

He counted with his fingers, smiled slightly, and walked out. This world still has the web of cause and effect, which is not something that ordinary people can see. However, those who have obtained magic power can easily predict the future 500 years ago and 500 years later by following the cause and effect. The actions of the immortals and Buddhas are based on this to calculate the universe, plan for ten thousand years, and control the situation. Gu Qingyuan has the method of exploring the secrets of heaven and has magic power to rely on. He deduced a cause and effect algorithm in an instant, which is also effective. He didn't use it before because he didn't have magic power to cover himself, so as not to reveal his true identity and expose his roots. Now he can use magic power to cover up a little and make a bigger move.

Cause and effect are entangled in this world, and the method of deduction is even more mysterious. Luck, fate and disaster coexist, and it is determined by destiny. A cultivator can calculate it on a whim or with a flash of inspiration. Now, Gu Qingyuan can also do that by counting with his fingers to know the cause and effect and predict the behavior of the gods in past and present lives.

He opened the door and looked into the distance. It was late at night, cold and dewy, and everything was quiet. However, outside the Fulong Temple, a group of wild spirit beasts gathered. There were many kinds of them, and they did not understand human nature, but were born with a kind of spirituality. There was no chaos, no noise, and they were quietly waiting for the real person to appear.

Gu Qingyuan was delighted when he saw this, he drew with his fingers, and used his Qi to form talismans, which fell on the brows of the beasts, leaving a mark to help their cultivation. If one of them was awakened, perhaps through the opportunity of cultivation, he could shed his beast body, refine his horizontal bones, and transform into a demon body.

He waved his hand, and all the animals bowed in unison, some touching their heads to the ground, some folding their wings, in different ways, and then left tactfully, as if to express their gratitude.

Gu Qingyuan stretched out his palm and looked. The young Taoist priest who was originally trapped in the valley and lived alone suddenly had some cause and effect entangled with his body. It fell on his palm and he could see clearly that the beast was enlightened by him. If there was trouble in the future, Gu Qingyuan's fate would be involved. If a big monster or demon became powerful and slaughtered people, he would have to bear the disaster together due to the entanglement of cause and effect.

However, Gu Qingyuan had already known this and did it on purpose just to observe the true nature of the law of cause and effect and achieve enlightenment through it. As for the entanglement of fate and the disasters and calamities, he did not care about them.

The animals retreated, but a purple shadow flew over, hesitated for a moment, and landed in front of Gu Qingyuan. It was a purple-gold sable with smooth fur and distinct strands, looking very energetic. Now it was holding two spiritual fruits in its hands, and its dark eyes were rolling around.

Gu Qingyuan raised his hand, and the purple-golden mink jumped on his arm in delight. He touched the sleek purple-golden mink and said, "My mind is in a state of confusion, and I rely on you to protect me. From now on, will you follow me?"

The previous incarnation was born with merits and virtues, and although he looked mentally retarded, he was blessed by destiny. Under the entanglement of cause and effect, he suffered a calamity and fell off a cliff. He was rescued by the strange beast, the purple-gold sable. The two got along well with each other. The previous incarnation relied on the protection of the strange beast, and the strange beast relied on the previous incarnation's upright achievements to eliminate its animal spirit, and they achieved mutual success.

That calamity was actually an opportunity. In order to send this strange beast to the side of the predecessor to protect his safety, the purple-gold sable was the destiny of the predecessor. If Gu Qingyuan had not arrived, the purple-gold sable would accompany the predecessor for life, until the predecessor died and the fate ended. But now that Gu Qingyuan has arrived, it is another fate.

The purple-gold sable held up the fruit and bowed, then pushed the fruit into Gu Qingyuan's hands. The fruit was big and the sable was small, which was very lovely. Gu Qingyuan didn't hesitate, laughed, and took the fruit in his hand.

"When hungry, eat; when tired, sleep. This is the way to practice the profound and profound. I have your help. I can have a meal. You have supported me in the beginning and given me fruit in the end. This is just a good fortune for you!"
