Chapter 362: Sitting in Meditation and Viewing Treasures
"Master Lin, I once heard an elder mention that the first two heavenly tribulations came from our own world, so if we have the merits of this world, their power will be much smaller and not so difficult to overcome." Shi Xuan returned the favor and told Lin Luo the relationship between merits and heavenly tribulations, and planned to record it in the jade slip that stored the secret method.
When future generations check it, they will see that "the method of surviving the tribulation was provided by the sixteenth generation Master Shi Xuan."
Lin Luo was originally smiling and watching Shi Xuan go. After hearing what Shi Xuan said, his expression was surprised, happy and solemn. He said in a complicated tone: "I have always heard that there are secret methods in those super-large sects to use merits to survive the tribulation, but I didn't expect there is such a connection that can directly reduce the power of the heavenly tribulation."
After that, she sincerely asked what merits were and how to obtain them. Shi Xuan answered one by one based on his own understanding.
When Shi Xuan recorded it and was about to leave, Lin Luo stood up and bowed to Shi Xuan, who leaned sideways to receive it.

Except for a few things left behind, the pile of miscellaneous things in the Tianya Haijiao Tower, Ziqi Donglai Tower, and Da Ri Puzhao Tower brought Shi Xuan a lot of good deeds. Originally, these good deeds were basically useless to Shi Xuan. At most, he could exchange some artifacts for his disciples, or exchange Yang Shen Zhenren for one or two actions.
But now, Shi Xuan has a new idea.
If he reincarnates in this world, because of the "Baolu", he will definitely be blessed with great luck immediately, but in this way, in the eyes of the half-step golden immortal who is paying attention to the Yu Yu world, his identity can be said to be self-incriminating, and then the golden immortal Daozu will take action, and he knows that he can't escape it.
Therefore, Shi Xuan was ready to reincarnate in other worlds. If he did so, it would be necessary to exchange good deeds for the right to use the Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope outside the sect for a period of time.
After thinking it over, Shi Xuan made a decision and put the matter aside. The most urgent thing was to return to the cave, calm down, and read the contents of the second half of the "Baolu" carefully, consolidate his cultivation, practice Taoism, and sacrifice his own spiritual weapon, and make up for the lessons that he had missed because of advancing too quickly.
Tianji Peak Shi Xuan Cave.
As soon as Shi Xuan stepped into the cave, he heard Ao Gu's loud and even snoring. He turned into a huge dragon, coiled into a ball, and was sleeping soundly.
Feeling someone coming in, Ao Gu opened his lantern-sized dragon eyes and looked at Shi Xuan in confusion: "Master, you are back?"
After a pause, it murmured to itself: "Am I dreaming? The master left only two years ago, and went to other worlds to work hard to achieve the soul, not to go fishing at sea, how could he come back so soon. Yes, yes, I must be dreaming, continue to sleep for a while, and wake up." Then it closed its eyes and snored again.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan chuckled and scolded: "It's me, the master."
Ao Gu opened his eyes and looked at Shi Xuan in horror: "Master, you are really back?! So, you have achieved the Yuanshen?!"
Shi Xuan nodded: "That's right."
Ao Gu shook his big head left and right, as if he didn't recognize Shi Xuan. He thought that the cultivator standing in front of him was transformed from an ancient terrifying wild beast. After a long time, he said: "Ao Gu, you really made the right choice to follow the master. Uh, should I call you Zhenren or continue to call you master in the future?"
"It's up to you. Qingsuo is not here?" Shi Xuan asked about the monkey Qingsuo.
Ao Gu thought seriously, "Master is still kind. Qingsuo just came back from the wild and is eating spiritual fruit in his room."
Speaking of Qingsuo, the door of Qingsuo's small room creaked open, and the monkey head quietly poked out half of its head to look at the situation in the hall, with a spiritual fruit in its mouth. When it saw Shi Xuan, it was stunned for a moment, its nose twitched a few times, and then its eyes widened, and the spiritual fruit fell to the ground without noticing.
After being stunned, it rushed out quickly, circling around Shi Xuan, making Ao Gu dizzy, until Shi Xuan bent his fingers and hit it hard on the monkey head, it settled down and rubbed its furry face on Shi Xuan's legs in a flattering manner.
Shi Xuan was really angry and amused. Before the Yuanshen, Qingsuo was arrogant in front of him, but once he achieved the Yuanshen, he immediately changed to a flattering attitude, which was too realistic.
But then again, the memory of Qingsuo Tongtian Lingbao still remains, and it is indeed a bit reluctant to recognize a cultivator below the Yuanshen as its master.
Touching Qingsuo's head, Shi Xuan said to Ao Gu: "You have been in the Soul Stage for many years. Do you want to follow the orthodox path of Taoism, or condense a demon pill?"
Ao Gu had already thought about it: "Of course I will condense a demon pill. It is too painful to follow the orthodox path of Taoism. With Miss Ming's experience, I don't think I will succeed."
Shi Xuan nodded. It was normal for Ao Gu to make such a choice. However, if Ming Qingyue did not have any accidents, with the firmness of her Tao heart, she could expect a high-grade golden pill within a hundred years.
"After you condense the demon pill, you need to make it pure and top-grade, and then achieve the body of the Dragon King. You also need to hone your heart, unless you want to take the path of the outer way." Shi Xuan reminded Ao Gu. Among the demons, there are also outer ways to achieve immortality. Just like swallowing the demon pill to make the pill, the demons who can refine the Yuanshen level seek the outer way of immortality. Of course, the price and defects are also great, but they don't have to go through too much ethereal heart tempering.
Ao Gu said flatteringly: "After condensing the demon pill, the little one will have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, and any tempering is fine."
"Well, this real person got a lot of spiritual herbs and materials this time, and kept a few of them for you to condense the demon pill." Shi Xuan said lightly, and handed these things to Ao Gu.
Ao Gu was overjoyed. If those spiritual herbs had not been incomplete, he would have condensed the demon pill long ago: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." As for the countless soul-stage cultivators in Penglai Sect who were eager to achieve the lower-grade golden pill with the inner pill of the demon beast after condensing the demon pill, Ao Gu was not afraid at all. He was the gatekeeper of the Yuanshen Zhenren!

In Shi Xuan's living room, the mountain and river pearl emerged in Shi Xuan's Yuanshen, emitting a faint white light.
After a moment of meditation, Shi Xuan calmed down and immersed his mind in the second half of the treasure record in the mountain and river pearl. The current visualization method is "The True Explanation of Yin and Yang Mixed Cave". Through visualization, the yin and yang energies that are still doing their own things are slowly harmonized, and then through the first and second heavenly thunders in the heavenly tribulation, they are successfully purified and mixed into one.
In other words, Shi Xuan must survive two heavenly tribulations before he can practice the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light. Of course, its power is also extremely powerful, reaching the level of the fourth-level immortal art, one level higher than the third-level immortal art that can be practiced after the second heavenly tribulation.
And the most important thing is that this immortal art comes from its own divine light and the gradual understanding of the changes of Yin and Yang since the practice. It does not need the foundation of Taoism. As long as you survive the second heavenly tribulation, you can practice it immediately.
"Bao Lu" is indeed one of the few supreme techniques. Shi Xuan sighed in his heart, and he also understood why Qing Yunzi had to survive the first two heavenly tribulations. On the one hand, it is certain, and on the other hand, it is beneficial.
After that, Shi Xuan did not use the techniques practiced during the third and fourth heavenly tribulations, and the techniques practiced during the heavenly man period, how to combine with Taoism. Because he could not use them for the time being, he just glanced through them, wrote down the content, and then read the immortal art and tribulation part.
The treasure book itself does not have many spells. Apart from the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light, there are only four immortal arts: "Six Paths of Reincarnation", "Two Principles of Dust", "Innate Eight Diagrams", and "Cause and Effect Pill Book".
In fact, what Shi Xuan did not know was that even if there were several great immortals in the big sects, there were only three or four immortal arts that could be directly practiced. The rarity of this immortal art also means that it is powerful. Compared with the immortal arts that are advanced from the ninth-level Taoist arts, they are much more powerful at the same level.
Among them, the "Cause and Effect Pill Book" requires the Heaven and Earth Soul-Seeking Art and the Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to be practiced to the ninth level before the method can be operated, combined with the laws of heaven and earth, and condensed into one, and promoted to immortal arts. Moreover, when using it, it can also show the function of one of the Taoist arts according to its own wishes.
As for its own ability, it naturally involves causal changes, such as soul arrest, life-seeking, curse, etc.
"Innate Bagua" requires the cultivation of the ninth level of Yin-Yang Magic Mirror, Thunder Purple Eyes, and Chaos Golden Bridge. It can track breath, eliminate traces, view the other party's image, prevent others from snooping, and trace back to the scene, etc., but more importantly, with the Tai Chi diagram that has been upgraded to a phantom magic weapon, Shi Xuan can have the ability to act on impulse and the ability to make preliminary calculations and deductions before he has survived the first heavenly tribulation.
"Liang Yi Micro Dust" is both an immortal art and an immortal formation. It requires the cultivation of the three Taoist arts of the innate forbidden method of reversing the universe, the illusion of the void, and the Liang Yi sword qi to the ninth level. Its function is roughly the same as the "Liang Yi Micro Dust Formation" that Shi Xuan knows, but if you want to derive the universe from a grain of dust, you must have at least a ninth-level immortal art to do it.
When it is used as an immortal art, its form is uncertain. It can be used as an array immortal art or as sword qi.
When the immortal array is used, Shi Xuan needs to refine a "Yu Yu Xiantian Yiqi Shenfu" to suppress the array eye and cooperate with other materials, spirit stones, etc. Before the fifth-level immortal art, the immortal talisman can be opened up with a small world, and the innate pure air when the chaos is about to come out is used as the main material for refining. After the fifth-level immortal art, it is necessary to find the great world that is about to be born, and also take the innate pure air when the chaos is about to come out.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation" is just an advancement from the great cycle of yin and yang life and death, and no other Taoist arts are required. It is divided into the heavenly way, the human way, the Shura way, the animal way, the hell way, and the hungry ghost way. Once hit by the six paths of reincarnation, even if the strength is much higher than Shi Xuan, such as the Yuanshen Zhenren who is about to pass the first heavenly tribulation, he will also reverse the reincarnation between the six paths, and there is only a small chance to escape. If you are not careful, you will sink into hell.
It is particularly restrained against ghosts and corpses. But this immortal art is as extremely difficult to practice as "Liangyi Microdust". Compared with the normal direct practice of immortal arts, it takes at least thirty years more effort.
However, if we do as Grandma Yu said, and transform that piece of bones into the cycle of yin and yang, life and death, and cultivate it into the "Six Paths of Reincarnation", we can save a lot of time, and may be able to compete with Yangshen Zhenren who has survived the first heavenly tribulation.
