Chapter 107 May Everyone Be Like a DragonOuyang Mi, who did what he wanted to do, found Gu Yunli again without thinking twice. "Gu Zhenzai, I want to do a series of reports on the snowstorm in Lintong after the evening news broadcast. I happen to have a lot of video footage, so I can edit it into a long video to inspire people to be kind." Gu Yunli, who was engraving a jade tablet, was alerted when he heard this. Why does this sound so familiar? "That's a good idea. Let's add a program after the news broadcast. Let's call it Focus Interview. We'll select the most popular news from the past and make a comprehensive and systematic report." Gu Yunli said casually. "Focus Interview?" Ouyang Mi's eyes lit up and he praised, "What a great name! Gu Zhenzai really summed up the essence of the show in one sentence." Gu Yunli smiled, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "However, follow-up reports are fine, but negative news should be treated with caution, especially when it comes to matters involving the immortal officials of the Immortal Court. The program should mainly focus on promoting the spirit of benevolence and righteousness." He is only an eighth-rank immortal official now. Even if he has the support of Emperor Qingxu, it is not a reason for him to make irresponsible comments on the world. Therefore, he still needs to be cautious about some things.
"Yes, Gu Zhenzai." Ouyang Mi nodded and was about to leave happily, but Gu Yunli added worriedly: "Wait, from now on, each Focus Interview will be sent to me for review before it goes online. Just in case, you should make a few more episodes in advance as a backup!" “Okay, Gu Zhenzai.” Looking at Ouyang Mi's energetic back as she left, Gu Yunli smiled gently... Newcomers in the workplace are always full of energy! He immediately put his attention back on the jade tablet in front of him. Just as he was about to raise his sword, he suddenly heard an illusory "gurgling" sound in his body. Then the seeds of Tao that had been sealed and nurtured in the furnace suddenly broke out of the furnace, like seeds sprouting. In an instant, they grew branches and leaves and spread to all parts of the body. His realm continued to rise! Seal the furnace... refine the medicine... stop the fire... He just stopped before the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Stage, but it could be broken easily. At the same time, an indescribable mysterious feeling emerged from the depths of consciousness. This is the meaning of the mixed spirit and yellow! The Daodejing Annotations states: ——Although the Tao is vague, there is one thing in it, which manages and controls transformation and establishes substance based on qi. In other words, although the Tao is vague and elusive, it has a core entity, which is "one", also known as the Tao seed or the Tao meaning. All changes of Tao are evolutions of the Tao seed. Therefore, it is also said: Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. For Gu Yunli, he finally condensed the Dao meaning of "mixing spirits" and "forming yellow" through the practice of "The Dao of Mixing Spirits and Forming Yellow". 【Mixed Spirit】 ——The seven Qis are combined and transformed, and the brilliant purple light is completed. It refers to a special kind of star power. However, this does not refer to all stars, but a certain type of stars. The power of this type of stars is almost as great as the earth beneath our feet. 【Yellow knot】
——The shade produces yellow flowers, the sunlight spreads red. This is a kind of earth meaning, which includes the concept of the rotation of yin and yang. It echoes the nine stars in the sky. These two kinds of Taoism seem to be very different, but if you think about them carefully, you will find that they have a common origin. Gu Yunli's mind was opened up and he thought: "Could it be that Hun Ling is referring to the power of the planet?" No matter what, after initially mastering the Way of Hunlingjiehuang, his perception of the surroundings suddenly leaped to a new level. The ground beneath his feet seemed to have become an extension of his senses. With a slight raise of the hand, countless mud and sand gather in front of the eyes. With a slight wave of the hand, they quickly disperse into nothingness. The mysterious feeling cannot be described in a few words. “No wonder Emperor Qingxu is the second-rank god who controls the world and has attained the Tao! This kind of Taoism is so much more advanced than the Six Void Art of the Earth!” Gu Yunli was filled with emotion. It took a long time before he calmed down his excited mood. He examined the data with his mind, and his progress in refining essence into qi had reached 100%. He took out the jade scepter given to him by Emperor Qingxu and began to read the contents of the next stage of refining Qi and transforming it into a spirit. Although I have memorized it long ago, I still feel like it is new every time I read it. There are four major realms of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. They are: collecting great medicine, passing three levels, nourishing the fetus, and returning all meridians to their source. Among them, the most important medicine is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is worth mentioning that the spiritual energy collected here must be the energy of the Tao that is being cultivated. This is the source of nourishment for the Tao fetus. Otherwise, when one reaches the stage of refining Qi, transforming spirit and nourishing the fetus, the fetus will inevitably die in the womb. After Gu Yunli pondered it carefully, he immediately tried to practice the method. As he inhaled and exhaled the Hunling Huang Qi, his cultivation entered the realm of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and the aura of his whole body also quietly underwent subtle changes. Until then, he finally realized the gracefulness of the Earth Dragon Body. ——This body makes him extremely sensitive to the mixed soul and yellow qi. The direct effect of this is that it seems very easy when inhaling and exhaling the Hunlingjuehuang Qi. The level of cultivation also increases visibly with the naked eye! This made him even more excited. It was not until an indescribable fatigue arose in his heart that his excitement was slightly interrupted. ——It turned out that the process of taking the elixir consumed a lot of his energy and spirit, and it had already made him feel exhausted.
Gu Yunli didn't care about this. He felt something in his mind and as his nostrils fluttered, incense smoke rushed in like crazy. Instantly, the incense offered by humans, the most intelligent creatures on earth, immediately replenished their rapidly depleted energy and spirit. It gave him a shock. The efficiency of collecting large amounts of medicine also returned to normal. When he became more proficient in the process of collecting elixirs, he immediately allocated a portion of his computing power to practice. "call--" As his breath was as sharp as a sword, Gu Yunli slowly opened his eyes. Looking at his cultivation level, it is improving slowly at an imperceptible speed. It can be said that as long as the incense is burning, the practice will never stop. “The value of incense is truly reflected at this moment.” “The stage of refining essence into qi is still a minor path after all.” Gu Yunli was pondering secretly, and his thoughts fell on the meaning of data. Judging from the Way of Hunling Jiehuang, the path to enlightenment created by Emperor Qingxu is a typical example of force defeating ten skills. By gathering and replenishing the yellow qi from the mixed spirit, one can nourish the fetus of Tao and strive for the great Dao. So can the data Taoism also nourish the Tao fetus in this way? So what is data qi? Why can't he feel the data qi when he has clearly cultivated the data Taoism? Because the meaning of the data is not one of the three thousand great ways of this world? For a moment, all kinds of thoughts popped up in Gu Yunli's mind. As his imagination ran wild, he subconsciously searched the Internet for data, but after a long time, he could not get any results, so he had to give up for the time being. The path of cultivation is complicated. The inheritance of various Taoist traditions is even more complicated and diverse. Wanting to learn by analogy from other Taoist traditions is obviously beyond Gu Yunli's understanding. Unfortunately, no one is practicing the Dao of Data, which means he is destined to seek the Dao alone. "If it really doesn't work, then I'll use Tai Zhen Tian Xiang to forcibly deduce the meaning of the data." Gu Yunli shook his head and looked at the time. It was almost time to go to Lao Lu Temple. He has been very busy these past few days, and after practicing with a large amount of materials, he has made considerable progress in the three techniques of sword chanting, talismans, and meditation. He should have no problem passing the first level of the assessment. After thinking about it, he immediately summoned the Three Elements Yuan Cloud and flew towards Lao Lu Temple. The long road has an end. Arriving at Laolu Temple, Gu Yunli descended from the clouds, stepped onto the mountain path, and climbed from the foot of the mountain to show respect. When I stepped into the room of the dean of Lingbao Taoist Temple, I saw Ji Zhixian sitting under the locust tree in the courtyard, holding a jade tablet in his hand, meditating carefully. Seeing Gu Yunli, he immediately put down the jade scepter and said with a smile: "Daoyou is here."
Gu Yunli approached and bowed: "It seems that fellow Daoist has already refined the magic weapon." "It's just an ordinary magic weapon. It's my first time refining it, so I was a little cautious. That's why it took a little time." Ji Zhixian waved his hands and asked: "I see that you have spiritual energy and a hidden spirit in your bones. It seems that you have made great achievements recently!" Gu Yunli was a little surprised when he heard this. I don't know if this is Ji Zhixian's decision based on his observations; He really has the ability to observe people's appearance and identify their aura. You should know that Ji Zhixian is now in the same stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation as him. It’s just that his realm is higher. It is rumored that he has entered the realm of [All Veins Returning to Their Source] and is only one step away from the celestial immortal level. In addition, Gu Yunli has the body of an earth dragon, so it is not easy to see his cultivation level. "Thanks to you for teaching me everything you know, I think I have already passed the first stage of weapon refining." "Oh? Maybe I can show it now?" "Naturally." Gu Yunli smiled, waved his hand, took out ten jade tablets, placed them on the stone table, and then picked out one at random and started refining it on the spot. For a moment, magic power overflowed and the sword was as fast as the wind. His digitized body made him as precise as a machine. In just a few moments, he had refined ten jade tablets one by one. "Please taste it, fellow Taoist." Ji Zhixian's mind moved, and the jade tablet on the table rose into the air, swirled around him, and then fell down. "You are truly a genius in refining weapons. You have only been practicing this art for a month and have made such progress. You are truly gifted." After reviewing it, Ji Zhixian praised it sincerely. "No, I just got used to it!" Gu Yunli waved his hand. During this period of time, he almost single-handedly raised the price of Guijian near the Internet Palace. This ability was purely earned by spending money. "What a skilled hand, but everyone knows the principle, but how many people are willing to put in the hard work?" Gu Yunli laughed out loud at Ji Zhixian's meaningful question. I thought to myself, if I add data functions to the Internet so that all cultivators in the world can see their progress in cultivation, I am afraid that it will set off a wave of internal competition. Am I also afraid that everyone will be unwilling to work hard? After some business exchanging, the two began the teaching. After some teaching, it was already late at night. When the sky was full of stars, Gu Yunli suddenly asked, "May I ask, fellow Taoist, is it possible to add the Hunyuan Mantra to the Jade Scepter so that people can remember it after seeing it?" Ji Zhixian frowned and said, "Although the Hunyuan Curse has the effect of strengthening memory, it is essentially a method of exorcising evil spirits and strengthening the body. It is difficult to make people remember everything they see with it!" "Is there a solution to that?"
Gu Yunli asked quickly, not surprised by this result. Because he had already done the relevant homework, what he said now was just a starting point. "In the art of incantation, there is a method that can make people remember everything they see. Ordinary people do not have the strength to support and cannot exert the power of this technique. If it is engraved on a jade tablet and supplemented with the seal of the Cangqi Mantra, it is not difficult to achieve this. In addition, the Xuanmen Qiangwen Mantra and the Buddhist Xukongzang Mantra also have similar abilities." Ji Zhixian talked freely. "Does Daoist friend know how to carve seals?" "I have never carved it before, but for weapon refiners like me, what we focus on is to imitate its shape and meaning. It is not difficult to copy it with the technique of seal carving." Ji Zhixian showed a hint of pride. The magical instruments refined by the weapon refiner often involve a wide variety of spells and seals. It is basically impossible to expect the weapon refiner to master them all! Therefore, most weapon refiners focus on imitating the shape and imitating the meaning, knowing what it is but not why it is so. Of course, to achieve this, you must also be proficient in the Five Elements. This is the key to designing magical instruments! "Can you design it?" Gu Yunli was overjoyed when he heard this. "Okay, I don't know what other requests you have, please tell me all of them." "I hope that this jade tablet can be viewed by ordinary mortals. It would be best if it is cheap and can be viewed repeatedly. Of course, all this must be based on the principle of being able to remember everything at a glance." "Mortals can also browse it. Daoist friend, did you refine this thing to provide it to mortals?" Ji Zhixian couldn't help but ask. "Exactly!" "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, what are you going to do?" "To be honest, my daily practice requires a lot of jade tablets. So, I want to refine a jade tablet during my practice, so that the people can quickly master the characters and become like dragons!" "Everyone is like a dragon?" Ji Zhixian was shocked and looked at Gu Yunli in surprise. In a trance, he suddenly realized why Gu Yunli suddenly wanted to travel around the world to learn how to refine weapons. This is the ultimate goal. "There are tens of millions of people in the world. I'm afraid your wish is difficult to achieve." "With my power, it is naturally difficult, but if there is profit to be made, the world will flock to it." Ji Zhixian fell silent. The jade scepter is so expensive that not everyone can afford it. In fact, this can be seen from the fact that many independent practitioners record information in books.
This is not to mention the use of Qi-hiding mantras and seals, and the art of photographic memory. The price of this kind of guijian is so high that it is comparable to that of low-level magical tools. Even ordinary monks may not be able to afford it, let alone mortals? By the way, Gu Zhenzai mentioned that it can be observed repeatedly. Could it be that he wants to promote the market through leasing? But this is not easy! This kind of jade tablet needs to be recharged repeatedly and must be operated by a monk. It is difficult to expect a monk to earn money from mortals! Or does Gu Zhenzai intend to use points to drive all the cultivators in the world? In an instant, Ji Zhixian thought of countless possibilities, and finally all his thoughts were hidden deep in his sea of consciousness. "In that case, I am willing to lend a helping hand to you." Ji Zhixian bowed and said that no matter what Gu Zhenzai planned to do, he just had to do his own thing for now. "Good work." "polite!" On the plain with stars hanging low, the two men, who were both teachers and friends, bowed and said goodbye. Gu Yunli returned to the monastery in Lingbao Taoist Temple. Silently comprehend today's lesson. The days remained unchanged and returned to peace again. With Data Daoyi hanging up, he has already devoted himself to the art of refining equipment, and every day he can see his refining skills improving a little bit. The feeling is fulfilling and satisfying. Time flows like water. I don’t know how much time had passed before a “ding dong” sound interrupted Gu Yunli’s practice. ——It was Ji Zhixian who sent the message, saying that he had completed the design of the jade scepter. Gu Yunli was delighted and hurried over. When they arrived at the dean's meditation room, they saw Ji Zhixian sitting cross-legged with a calm expression, and six jade scepters were placed on the straw mat in front of him. "According to your request, I have refined six types of jade scepters, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. I wonder if there is a scepter that meets your request?" Two in one
