Chapter 357: Cooking Porridge is Like Refining Medicine

Borrow the Tao of mortal nature and wash your hands to make a spoon.

Gu Qingyuan's foundation has been built after a hundred days, his magic power is circulating, he is not stained by dust, and he is not troubled by dirt. Now when he prepares meals, he still has to wash his hands, and he calls it a sense of ritual.

After washing his hands, he was lazy and started to set up the stove, added the cold porridge from the previous night, piled a few pieces of firewood on it, and flicked a spark. As the flames rose, the cold porridge met the heat and slowly melted.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the fairy fruit carefully again. In terms of quality, it was not even a fraction as good as the spiritual plants that he had cultivated outside his world. But in this world, it could still be considered a good fruit. It was also a gift from the purple-gold sable, so its friendship was priceless.

He practiced most of the night and was burning with hunger. The entanglement of cause and effect attracted the purple-gold sable, and he took the fruit. It was another cause and effect, which could become an invisible law. It was fate. It was the law network of cause and effect that brought those causes and effects here, and triggered disasters and destiny, thus helping to govern the heaven and earth.

Every time a cause and effect is connected, it is determined by fate. In the end, the practitioner will have to exercise his own destiny in the entanglement of cause and effect. This is the means by which the natural law of this world adjusts the human law. It works silently and subtly, and it is also the way for the powerful in this world to control the situation.

The skills and magical treasures in this world all have a fixed number, either left behind by immortals who ascended to heaven, or passed on by the Buddha. If someone with a destiny receives a skill or magical treasure, this cause and effect will come to an end.

Just like when the calamity of the Conferred Gods began, a group of immortals and gods gave up their magic weapons and gave them to the destined master. Then the person with the destiny had to take on the cause and effect and complete the calamity on his behalf.

In this world, there is the Grand Aspiration Method. Cultivators can borrow luck through the Grand Aspiration Method, and either make the righteous path flourish or preach the gospel to the world. With great luck, they can achieve immortal fate and ascend to heaven. When ascending to heaven, they must cut off all causes and effects in the mortal world and achieve freedom, otherwise they can only wait until they fulfill their vows before they can ascend.

Only then can one draw the sword of wisdom to cut off emotional ties and sever cause and effect. The person who ascends will leave his own magic sword in the mortal world, cut off that cause and effect, and ascend to heaven. The master of destiny will then carry out his ambitions on his behalf. Therefore, the law cannot be accepted lightly, and the treasure cannot be accepted lightly. In fact, it is all the calculation of the powerful people in the upper realm.

Cause and effect are entangled, like a pool of muddy water. When it seems ordinary, it is actually the situation that has been calculated by the powerful beings in the upper realm. They are intertwined and countless pieces have been made. There are countless reefs under the calm lake surface. Often, people die in the disaster without knowing where the cause and effect come from. They are pure fools.

But there are also birds that are born with lofty ambitions. They accept the cause and effect, help to increase their luck, and escape from the situation. Even if they cannot be free in this life, they may achieve immortal fate in the next life. The accumulation of many lifetimes and the destiny are the essence of spiritual practice in this world.

In this life, you are a mortal and die at the age of a hundred. You may occasionally get a chance to become an immortal, but you will face a calamity and go away. Your luck will increase and you will survive in the next life. When you return to practice cultivation, you may be the beginning of a cultivator. The increase in luck does not distinguish between good and evil. The world needs the right way to prosper. It is the destiny of the orthodox Xuanmen to slay demons, and it is also the destiny of the Demon Sect to face a calamity. One only needs to follow the will of heaven and eventually achieve the right result.

In a world like this, Gu Qingyuan just thought of this world as a big Shushan Legend, where every person is shrewd and scheming and should not be underestimated.

In one day, he took on more causes and effects than his previous life in half his lifetime. His previous life had lived in the mountains for a long time and knew no one, but he still had two causes and effects. One was the grace of the old Taoist priest in raising him, but the old Taoist priest had passed away, so this cause and effect still had to be fulfilled in his reincarnation. The other was this purple-gold sable.

If Gu Qingyuan had not intervened, the Purple Gold Sable would have needed the protection of someone with great luck in the future when it encountered a disaster, and the predecessor would have been the first to bear the brunt of it and help its practice. Even a person like the predecessor, who was in the mortal world but wanted to escape from the world, had two causes and effects. The causes and effects of the wandering monks in the mortal world must have been even more complicated and numerous. This shows the power of the law of cause and effect.

It was just that Gu Qingyuan came here for this reason, and after completing his path, he returned, getting more involved in cause and effect, observing the operation of the law network, and perfecting his own path, so he didn't feel troubled.

He looked at the wide-open palace door. Under the statue of Fulong Xianren was an ancient sword, covered with rust. If the sword was taken out, the blood of the dragon could be seen. This sword was called the Seven-Section Sword. Now the divine object was hidden and left here. It would take more than 200 years for the Lord of Destiny to descend and slay the monster with the sword.

He looked at the purple-gold sable jumping around and smiled slightly. The big monster was here. The purple-gold sable was originally an animal. Survival of the fittest is the truth, and it is normal for it to devour the flesh and blood of animals. It's just that a spiritual deer was eaten by it, and its fate was up, so it reincarnated as a human. It held the Seven-Section Sword and fought with the purple-gold sable, which was the human calamity of the purple-gold sable, and the purple-gold sable was the calamity of the human's enlightenment. The obsession with slaying the monster was the cause and effect left behind by the Immortal Fulong when he ascended to heaven. Such a cycle of cause and effect will bring retribution.

Gu Qingyuan did not take the sword, although it was a divine object and could be taken by force, but he would have to bear the consequences for nothing, which would be bad. He had magical powers and means to attract true fire, so he had everything he needed, so he thought of refining the sword.

But now my stomach is empty, I need to satisfy my internal organs first before thinking about anything else. The rice grains in the pot are distinct, and the steam is rising. The tempting rice aroma goes straight into my mouth and nose.

Gu Qingyuan took the spiritual fruit casually. This fruit has mild medicinal properties and is the best choice for building the foundation. It also contains a bit of the true meaning of heavenly thunder. It is created by heaven and earth. It requires spiritual plants to entwine with lightning-struck wood to produce spiritual fruit. It is naturally endowed with thunder, so perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it the 'Thunder Spiritual Fruit'.

Without any movement of his hands, the Thunder Spirit Fruit split into several petals and fell into the porridge pot. The aroma of rice suddenly exploded, and with it the fragrance of spiritual charm. The two combined, the fragrance was fragrant.

Gu Qingyuan raised his hand and suppressed the aroma back into the pot. Although the aroma was fragrant, it lacked some spirituality. It was such a waste. The flame at the bottom of the pot rose up and a little fire was poured into the pot, burning away the impurities in the spiritual fruit, leaving only the pure energy that was transformed into the rice.

He urged the flames again, as if he was refining an elixir, removing the dross and retaining the essence, removing the poison. Without smelling any fragrance, he could feel the vital energy accumulating more and more, making the Purple Gold Marten stare at the rice pot with drooling.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we still need the main ingredient."

Gu Qingyuan comforted her, and after waiting for a moment, the sky broke, and the sun rose. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he picked up a ray of purple air between the light and dark and put it into the pot.

The white light contains the sun and the moon, the purple air forms the Big Dipper, the heaven and the earth are formed by one Qi, and countless Qi machines are evolved. Gu Qingyuan uses the method of gathering Qi to attract the purple Qi from the east, and makes it into a great medicine and a material for porridge.

As the auspicious energy fell into the pot, the rice porridge that was originally bubbling began to move, rolling three times in a row. The three types of ingredients melted into one under the calcination of the open flame. Gu Qingyuan took the lid of the pot and covered it, waiting quietly while comforting the increasingly restless purple-gold sable.

After simmering for a while, Gu Qingyuan raised his hand and opened the lid of the pot. A ray of light rushed up to the sky and then slowly fell down, giving the rice porridge a layer of fluorescence.

Now the boiling pot has become calm, without any spiritual fruit. Only the rice grains are left. The white rice beads are distinct and each one is stained with a light purple color. It is a pot of purple rice spiritual porridge, which sparkles as the sun shines down.

Cooking porridge is like refining medicine, stirring the spoon is like making elixir, the great medicine is ready, the great elixir has appeared.

Gu Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction, and said in the eyes of the purple mink: "Dinner is ready!"
