Chapter Eleven: Longevity Equal to Heaven

  He suddenly had an epiphany that it would be better not to go and gather energy again until the extremely yin and cold air was thoroughly refined.

  Whether it's Taiyin Qi or Taiyang Qi, don't go and collect them again. Wait until they are thoroughly refined before doing so.

  The only difference is that there is no master by his side to point out the mistakes, and he has made a few detours. Fortunately, Liu Bei likes to think things over when he encounters something, so he understands it quickly.

  "No wonder this heavenly tribulation has an inner and outer cultivation method." Liu Bu Yi muttered to himself.

  This inner refinement not only exercises the body and supplements the essence, but also uses the outer method to transform the Taiyang and Taiyin aura into two aura pearls with countless wonderful uses!

  However, combining these two Day and Moon Spirit Pearls is not that simple. If one's internal energy hasn't reached a certain level of cultivation, they simply won't be able to withstand it.

  He had been practicing behind closed doors for several days, and every day someone would deliver food on time. These dishes were not those light soup and plain rice, but rather a large amount of nourishing food.

  Inside, various medicinal materials were added and simmered, even the efficacy was absolutely inferior to those fish monster meats that I had obtained.

  Also, those fish monsters' flesh had already been taken out of the ice cellar by Liu Bei and put into the Heavenly Palace.

  The business done by Shenxiang Tian Palace is extremely comprehensive, including even renting out. Putting in these strange fish meat only consumes one contribution point per day, but the things placed inside will never rot.

  It was all sold out by Liu Bu Yi in Yuan Yu Guan, and there was no chance to use it at all. It was all exchanged for contribution points.

  Now Yuan Xuguang has nourishing ingredients, and also has Liu Bu's adopted aura, the two combined, making Liu Bu's cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, one day can surpass others' ten days of cultivation!

  That day, Liu Bu Yi once again recited the "Northern Dipper Seven True Saints Scripture" for Xiao Hei.

  He recited it once, and Xiao Hei followed suit. This guy may look silly, but he's actually not stupid at all. After listening to it many times, he almost memorized this several-thousand-word scripture.

  Liu Bu Yi wants him to memorize everything and recite it himself. Then Liu Bu Yi can also practice his skills!

  The first level of entering the Taoist gate is to open up. The second level is spiritual inspiration. Liu Bu-yi had almost reached this stage in his cultivation at Zhen Yang-zi's place, so it was easy for him to reach the realm of spiritual light in the Yuansu Temple and receive the scriptures from the gods of the seven stars of the Big Dipper.

  However, the third layer of Tongshen still has no progress, and it is not clear whether it is due to the problem with the copied scriptures of Shenxiu Tiangong or other reasons.

  However, these Liu Bu Yi are not too anxious. Conservative estimates, a disciple from enlightenment to inspiration, often also need more than a year of effort. And from inspiration to divine understanding, it would take almost three years!

  How could Liu Bu-yi so easily get away with it?

  But the hardest part of getting started is even harder to say. Some people can't get past it their whole lives, while others somehow manage to get through it after a good night's sleep.

  Some people get stuck at this stage for decades and suddenly have an epiphany while in the toilet!

  It's as if there is no rule at all, and it seems like everything depends on luck.

  This is enlightenment, without great opportunities, great awakening nature, and great talent, how can it be easily achieved?

  So Yu Xuan's strict rules, three years after entering the door, if you still can't open your eyes, you'll be driven down the mountain. And if it's a gradual method, three years of grinding and polishing, as long as you're not too stupid or lazy, you'll definitely open your eyes!

  To put it bluntly, Yuanyu Guan, this major Taoist sect, the disciples they recruit must be geniuses, and specifically those with a strong aura.

  As a major sect of Taoism, Yuanshuo Temple has this foundation!

  Liu Bu did not know if he was a genius or not, anyway, he used the Hui Guang Tian Xin method to open up his Tian Xin Shi Hai. Then, he was directly sent into the second layer of spiritual inspiration by the Qing Yang Shen Lamp.

  However, this silly-looking little black one is absolutely a genius. Just as Liu Bu-yi had been thinking for half a day and turned his head back, he was astonished to find that the little black one had already sat down cross-legged, with a dignified and majestic appearance.

  "Could this kid have really had an epiphany?" Liu Buji thought to himself, but saw Xiao Hei's eyebrows, and a faint golden light actually appeared between them.

  Liu Bu Yi said he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Xiao Hei had been sitting there for three days and three nights, without even eating, what if something really went wrong?

  He had the heart to take out the child lamp of Qingyang God Lamp to help Xiao Hei, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous. However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside: "Liu Bu Yi Shixiong, Huang Zhenren wants you to come over!"

  Liu Buji was slightly stunned and didn't know what Huang Zhenren wanted him to do at this time. But since Zhenren had summoned him, he couldn't not go!

  He locked the door of the house, fearing that someone would disturb Xiao Hei. Then he came to a large hall, but it was not the small courtyard where Huang Zhenren lived in his daily life.

  It wasn't until then that Liu Buji realized that this Taoist temple was just a branch of the Yuanshuo Temple, not the actual main gate, and roughly a place to cultivate disciples!

  Following closely, Liu Bu entered the palace without any worries. No one would dare to deceive him by using the emperor's name, that would be seeking death!

  In this grand hall, there is only one gigantic golden statue of the Buddha's true form, gazing down at the multitude. It is not the seven deities of the Big Dipper, but rather the main deity worshipped by the Dongxu Sect, the True Lord of the Big Dipper.

  Below the altar, the Emperor sat on a cushion with his back to the two of them.

  The unfamiliar little Taoist who led Liu Buji in made a bow to the back of Huang Zhenren and retreated. Leaving Liu Buji standing there foolishly, staring at the back of Huang Zhenren, he stood there stupidly.

  Liu Bu-yi was certainly not that kind of person. He bowed and said, "Liu Bu-yi pays respects to the True Man. Wishing the True Man eternal happiness and longevity equal to heaven!"

  "Xian Fu Yong Xiang, Shou Yu Tian Qi?" Upon hearing this, the Emperor finally turned around and calmly looked at Liu who had just walked in. In his eyes, there seemed to be a kind of wisdom that saw through everything!

  Just a glance from Liu Bu Yi, and he felt as if his entire being had been seen through, his heart skipped a beat, and the slight complacency he had just now was gone.

  "Xianfu yong xiang, shou yu tian qi?" The Emperor of Truth said with a smile: "Humans are trapped between heaven and earth, unable to escape. We cultivators are no exception, where does this 'xianfu' come from? Never mind, I see that you have indeed recognized the radiance of the sea. You may stay here and communicate with the True Lord of the North Dipper, bestowing upon you a bit of divine light, and today will be considered your passing!"

  Liu Buji let out a startled cry of "Ah", having reached this stage was the third step in cultivation, Tong Shen.

  After being inspired, the mind is thoroughly determined and the summons are merged. Only then can we offer sacrifices to the gods of our sect, pray for infinite law power, and reveal divine laws. It's only at this point that we can deploy the Taoist laws!
