Chapter Ten: The Wondrous Uses of Qing Yang

  The strangest thing is that everyone was also given something that looked like a glass bead, transparent, with what seemed to be colorful clouds floating inside.

  With interests mixed in, no wonder they are not very convinced of Liu Bu Yi! However, Liu Bu Yi was also secretly thinking that although this True Yangzi seemed to be hiding here, his subordinates had already occupied many territories.

  It seems that among the things they offered, that strange bead is the most precious. What is this bead anyway?

  He searched every corner of his memory with great effort, and suddenly his whole body shook as he remembered. He almost exclaimed in surprise. Could it be that this bead was the incense stick's wish?

  It seems that the original Liu Bei had also only seen this thing on a very occasional opportunity.

  Just as Liu Bu-yi was lost in thought, the last Taoist with a white beard, called Song Yuan-zi, smiled and said: "Since Liu Shixiong is our senior fellow-disciple, shouldn't Master assign a preaching district to him too?"

  When he spoke, his eyes flickered. The other disciples who heard it also seemed to be paying attention. It seems that this so-called division of the teaching area is quite important.

  Zhen Yangzi smiled and said: "The master wants to focus on cultivation, in order to break through again. This place of Smoke Wave Lake is not being taken care of, let Liu Buji try his hand!"

  As soon as this was said, all the other disciples let out a sigh of relief. Only that old Taoist's eyes sparkled even more.

  "It's getting late now, you all go back first. Don't forget the important matter!" Zhen Yangzi waved his hand and dismissed a group of disciples.

  Those Taoists bowed again and retreated silently. Each of them showed off their skills, although there were no boats or oars, but in this lake, they came and went as they pleased.

  Liu Bu was somewhat uneasy and called out: "Master..."

  But then Zhen Yangzi coldly laughed and said: "You take a look first!"

  A Qingyang divine lamp appeared in his hand, but he didn't know how to fly out. As soon as it was placed in the palm of his hand, the light of the lamp lit up and an image appeared.

  But then Song Yuanzi appeared, swift as a flying eagle. In just a few moves, he caught up with the other two Taoist priests and shouted: "You two junior brothers, can you also bear Father's partiality?"

  Two Taoist priests were surprised and said, "Master is still considerate of our face, not letting that little guy go to a good place to preach. This Smoke Wave Lake is such a bird-not-even-worth-poop place, what kind of profit can be gained?"

  Song Yuanzi cursed in her heart, but said: "The two junior brothers are too naive. This Yanbo Lake has few disciples and is not rich. However, this is under the eyelids of the master, who is always watching and teaching, and has truly become a successor. What can we be considered as?"

  As he spoke, the scene of the Qingyang Divine Lamp became blurry. Zhen Yangzi put away the divine lamp, his eyes were deep and mysterious, but he said: "Now do you understand?"

  Liu Buji's heart skipped a beat, he had seen this technique before and was already deeply impressed, but seeing it again made him feel even more amazed. It could monitor the surroundings, and he didn't know how large the range was.

  This kind of Taoist magic is probably only comparable to the advanced technology of his original world!

  "Yes, I understand!" Liu said.

  Zhenyangzi nodded: "Since you understand, you must do a good job. Yanbo Lake is thousands of miles around, with 43 villages and a population of over 200,000. Although it's a bit poor, it's just right for trying out!"

  Liu Bu Yi responded with a yes again, and didn't know why Zhen Yang Zi was being so good to him for no reason.

  Is it really treating oneself as a successor of Yiguan? Is it oneself who passed his test in prison?

  "But for now, don't worry. I'll pass on the Taoist teachings to you first," As soon as Liu heard this, his spirits lifted immediately. This was what he had been pursuing all along, and that so-called preaching business didn't amount to anything in comparison!

  However, Liu soon found out that he was terribly wrong.

  "I teach the method of cultivation, and I emphasize the importance of incense and vows." Zhen Yangzi said calmly: "The Qingyang Divine Lamp can transform incense and vows into infinite divine light, which can be used to nourish one's own body and serve as a resource for cultivation. This is the secret behind our sect's rapid progress in cultivation!"

  Liu Bu-yi's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered. Earlier, at the Smoke Wave Lake, that hapless Ruyi Head Monk seemed to have even his primordial spirit absorbed into the Qingyang Divine Lamp.

  At that time, the light of the Qingyang Divine Lamp suddenly became much brighter, making Liu's memory quite deep: "Master, can this Qingyang Divine Lamp still refine a person's primordial spirit?"

  Zhenyangzi smiled and said, "What do you think?"

  Liu Buji felt a chill in his heart and stopped asking, but he already knew the truth.

  Zhen Yangzi taught the method of enlightenment, and Liu followed it to light up the Qingyang Shengdeng. Suddenly, a misty cloud-like fog appeared and spread over. The fog threads converged into the lamp light, and the Qingyang Shengdeng emitted colorful rays for a moment.

  "But then, Zhen Yangzi said leisurely: 'My Qingyang Sect is considered a great threat to the imperial court because it's easy to cultivate. With these incense and candlelight vows, one can transform them into magical powers and enhance their own cultivation! Now, do you know what the sect's territory is for?'"

  Liu Buji's heart skipped a beat, and before he could speak, Zhen Yangzi let out a stern shout: "Withdraw your mind and spirit, and listen to my mantra!"

  Having taken a sip, Liu Bei hastily cast aside his jumbled thoughts. Following the method, he gazed at his own heavenly heart and recited the incantation from his mouth.

  As soon as those misty and colorful halos passed through the Qingyang Divine Lamp, they were transformed into pure and crystalline white light.

  Constantly shining in Liu Bu Yi's heart, the heart shines brightly, illuminating his entire body, as if to illuminate every cell of his body.

  "Observe the Dan Tian!" Zhen Yangzi shouted: "Below the navel, three inches inside. Where the essence is stored, that's what's called the Dan Tian."

  Liu Buji unconsciously converged the light and directed it towards his dantian. It was as if a loud crack of thunder had struck that spot.

  It's as if Pangu chopped open the sky and earth with one axe, or perhaps it's like the first ray of light that created the world in the Western Bright Teachings' creation myth.

  In short, the golden light emitted from the heavenly mind shines forth. In the elixir field, it suddenly opens up and emerges.

  The lower abdomen is like the ocean of qi, similar to the heavenly heart and sea of consciousness. Every person seems to have it, but only true cultivators can find and open it after gaining insight.

  A ray of heavenly light shone down in a straight line, and the primordial chaos in the sea of air suddenly opened up. A wisp of white gas, faintly visible, emerged from within it.

  "Refine the essence and transform the energy!" Liu Bu's heart stirred, this was indeed the ancient Daoist technique of refining the essence and transforming the energy.

  No wonder countless people have practiced the foundational methods of Taoist cultivation, but few have achieved success. It turns out that the real secret lies here!

  Dazed and confused, he didn't know how long he had been walking. Liu Bu's eyes flashed with a hint of light, his whole body moved, and he woke up from this rare state of the machine.
