When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 137 Taoist calligraphy and painting, elixir trading

"Authentic Tao Yun?" Li Fan's heart moved.

Li Fan had come into contact with the Earthly Demon Restriction, obtained the Seven Earthly Evil Techniques, and obtained fragments of the Tiangang magic weapon Broken Universe Jade Ruler from Li Xinlong, so he was no stranger to Daoyun.

Wandao Sect is an authentic Taoist sect that emphasizes the dual cultivation of life and life. Life is the physical body and longevity, while sex is the mind and character, and also refers to the understanding of Tao.

After reaching the later stage of foundation building, decent monks will be exposed to the level of 'Dharma principles' to some extent.

The ban on Disha is actually at the level of legal principles.

And if you go one step further and reach the realm of golden elixir, and understand thousands of Dharma principles, you will be sublimated again.

This is called entering the path.

There are also different levels of entering the Tao. What you understand is the 'principle', which is higher than the principle of the Dharma. However, this word has been overused by ordinary people and has lost its original meaning, so those who practice it call it 'Tao Yun'.

Li Fan suddenly understood why he found Yi Chaosheng's calligraphy and painting a bit mysterious.

It is this calligraphy and painting that contains Yi Chaosheng's "Taoist charm".

In other words, Yi Chaosheng turned the "Tao Yun" he felt into paintings and calligraphy and gave it to Li Fan.

This is an amazing treasure.

Although this calligraphy does not have any special spiritual power, and the pen, ink and paper used are only those commonly used by monks, the 'Tao Yun' in the ink painting and calligraphy is not ordinary.

This calligraphy implies Yi Chaosheng's understanding of the great road. If Li Fan practices too fast, or is about to go crazy, take a look at this calligraphy and painting, and he will soon get back on track.

Tao cannot be expressed in words, but it can be contained in all things, including painting and calligraphy.

With this word, it is like a difficult problem. If you don't know how to solve it at a low level, and you think hard and think there is no solution, you may suspect that the problem itself is wrong and has no answer.

However, there is a trusted senior who clearly tells you that there is a solution to this problem. Even if the senior does not tell you the specific solution, as long as you believe it, you will not think randomly and will focus on finding a solution. The solution to the problem can be used to its full potential, and the problem is likely to be solved in the end.

Yi Chaosheng's calligraphy plays this role.

Li Fan was quite moved.

Although this calligraphy is not a magic weapon, it allows Li Fan to practice very smoothly and avoid going crazy.

Moreover, it contains the Taoist charm of Yi Chaosheng. Yi Chaosheng has exposed his trump card in this calligraphy and painting. If it falls into the hands of the wrong person or enemy, he may be able to deduce the characteristics of his skills.

Even so, Yi Chaosheng still gave Li Fan, which can only be said to be trust.

Li Fan accepted this calligraphy and painting.

He said seriously: "Master, I know the weight of this calligraphy and painting, and I will cherish it, meditate on it all the time, and keep it properly."

"Master is careful, I understand."

Yi Chaosheng saw Li Fan's understanding and understood his painstaking efforts. Lao Huai was pleased and nodded repeatedly.

"It's good that you understand."

"By the way, I promised you that if you get the top three places in the sect competition, then I will give you the third layer of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra, the jade palace sealing pass, heaven, materials and earth treasures. If I pass, It's always been fulfilled." Yi Chaosheng said.

As he spoke, he took out a bronze vase from his storage bag, handed it to Li Fan and said, "This is Taiyi Divine Water, please keep it."

When Li Fan heard this, his heart suddenly moved.

Li Fan looked at the bronze vase.

This bottle has the shape of a miniature pot-bellied vase. The whole body is black and purple, with some silver light in the middle. The carvings on it are complex, not just for beauty, but like a set of prohibitions. Carved on the bottle, it can It contains the spiritual power of Taiyi Divine Water to the greatest extent.

Taiyi Divine Water moisturizes all things. It is a treasure of heaven and earth with extremely versatile uses.

This substance moisturizes all things, and has a strong ability to restore and repair itself. Even without any treatment, it is like a top-quality elixir like bones and raw flesh. Its purpose is not only to be used alone, but also in refining elixirs and creating high-level magic weapons. All have their uses.

Precisely because of its wide range of uses, the price of Taiyi Shen Shui has remained high, making it hard to find.

Yi Chaosheng helped Li Fan get Taiyi Divine Water, which saved Li Fan at least half a year of effort.

With the time saved, you don’t have to run around looking for treasures of heaven and earth, but can focus on practicing.

Li Fan will take the Taiyi Divine Water from Yi Chaosheng.

This object is also quite heavy. It is just a copper vase as big as the palm of your hand, but it seems to weigh more than seventy kilograms. I don't know whether it is the weight of the vase or the weight of the Taiyi Divine Water itself.

Li Fan took it and put it away solemnly.

"Master has taken the trouble," Li Fan said.

Yi Chaosheng smiled and nodded, and then asked: "You got this thing, and judging from your condition, did you use Xuanwu Fine Gold to seal the second floor of the Jade Palace?"

"Yes." Li Fan admitted.

Yi Chaosheng stroked his beard gently and said: "After you came back from the demonic disaster battlefield, your ancient bloodline was activated in your body, and your cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Now how long will it take for you to seal the third level?"

Li Fan thought for a moment and said: "I am preparing to practice in seclusion. If it is a retreat, it will take about two to two and a half years."

"So fast?" Yi Chaosheng was stunned.

Li Fan smiled and said: "It's been like this since the bloodline was activated. I'm also a little worried about entering the realm too fast. It's so fast that I'm scared, but you can't suppress the realm and not improve, right?"

"Hahaha, if you say this, I'm afraid you will make other elders' direct disciples jealous to death." Yi Chaosheng laughed.

"Did you know that Jin Daosheng, who is known as the most talented disciple in the sect, is also the eldest disciple of the sect leader, and is most likely to become a Taoist disciple in the future? It took him twenty-seven years from the early stage of foundation building to the formation of pills. Year."

"It's only been a while since you started. In a few years, you'll be in the late stage of foundation building. If you tell me this, you'd be scared to death."

After a moment of pause, Yi Chaosheng said: "But I have checked your body and there are no hidden dangers. If you are talented enough, then you can just let go and practice."

"If you can surpass the Golden Dao Sage, then as my teacher, I will sacrifice my face and ask the cultivator from the upper realm to come to this realm to help you confirm what bloodline has been activated, so that you can know in your heart."

"Can we still invite the higher realm to cultivate?" Li Fan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Haha, do you think that since our Wandao Sect has been established for so long, where have all the seniors at Yuanying and above gone? You don't think that they are all dead, right?" Yi Chaosheng said with a smile.

Li Fan understood it as soon as he heard it.

"Could it be that those sect seniors went to the realm of cultivating immortals in the upper world?" Li Fan asked.

Yi Chaosheng smiled and said nothing, just nodded.

Li Fan understood in his heart.

It's not like he hasn't thought about this problem.

Now it seems that the Wandao Sect has deep roots. In the upper world, the sect's seniors have spread their branches and leaves.

Li Fan has a new understanding of the status of Wandao Sect in the Tianyuan world.

Maybe this matter involved the secrets of the sect, so Yi Chaosheng did not continue and asked Li Fan not to talk too much about what happened today.

Li Fan understood.

It seemed that this matter involved a lot, but after learning the news, Li Fan felt more confident and more hopeful about the future of his practice.

Li Fan received the Daoyun calligraphy and painting presented by Taiyi Shenshui and Yi Chaosheng, and returned to Nuanyu Pavilion.

Li Fan also has a good idea of ​​his future plans. "Take advantage of this period to consolidate your realm and step up your elixir refining. You need to refine elixirs that are enough for daily use for about two and a half years, and then you can practice in seclusion."

"I already have the Taiyi Divine Water in my hand. In two and a half years, I should be able to seal the gate on the third level, then build the fourth level of the Jade Palace, and reach the late stage of foundation building." Li Fan thought to himself.

No matter how powerful Taoism is, it is only at the level of Taoism.

Skills and state of mind are the foundation.

Li Fan has the ambition to live forever, and he can still decide who is the master.

...

In the next ten days, the Wandao Sect Sect Competition was in full swing.

The sect competition is not a drill, and there is no need to consider the grand finale. It is actually the same as this time every time. The top three rankings of the most important direct disciples will be determined first, and then the rankings of other direct disciples will be determined, followed by the sect deacons, inner sects, etc. Disciples, outer disciples, etc. are assessed in turn.

After Li Fan became the first in the competition, he did not continue to watch the ranking battles of other disciples. Instead, he plunged into the alchemy room and started refining alchemy day and night.

What he was refining was not a very exotic elixir, but a lot of Xuanyuan Dan and Yangshen Dan that he needed daily.

In this way, Li Fan could hardly remember how many furnaces of pills he had refined in the past ten days.

His white bead mark, due to his frequent alchemy, solidified the fifth attribute of 'perfection'.

The function of this attribute is to fully maximize the efficacy of the elixir used by Li Fan when refining elixirs. The refined elixir is already in the most perfect state within the scope of the elixir, without any loss of medicinal power.

After Li Fan refined this attribute, he probably knew in his heart that he had reached almost the limit of the attributes of ordinary elixirs in alchemy.

As for what other attributes the white bead imprint could develop later on, Li Fan couldn't guess.

He was a little curious and even a little expectant.

However, if you think about it, you will know that it will take at least five or seven years for the next attribute to appear, and it will not be seen in a short time.

Li Fan is not impatient either.

Time is mine. As long as I have perseverance and determination, it will only be a matter of time before I make another breakthrough.

Not long after Li Fan solidified the 'perfect' alchemy attributes, the sect competition finally came to an end, and the ranking of the disciples was settled.

Among the people Li Fan was familiar with, in addition to the rankings of the direct disciples, the results of the competition for the inner disciples were also announced.

Leng Yueyun is very outstanding, ranking first among the inner disciples. Hu Feng is slightly inferior, but he is also rated as first or second.

The Xu brothers and sisters all received first- and second-class evaluations.

At this point, the sect competition has come to an end, but the emotions of the sect disciples have not completely calmed down, but are still in a state of excitement, excitement, frustration, or anger.

Li Fan, on the other hand, had already withdrawn and returned to his daily practice.

this day.

In the afternoon, around Shen time.

Li Fan was still refining elixirs in the alchemy room behind Tianxiao Peak.

Today, he refined another furnace of Xuanyuan Dan.

Li Fan has been refining a lot of foundation-building elixirs such as Xuanyuan Dan and Yangshen Dan during these days. He can use about [-]% of the elixir inventory in the sect alone.

And Li Fan has also stocked up most of the elixirs needed for retreat.

After Li Fan completed the elixir, he put the elixir away, saw that the time was almost up, got up and left the elixir room.

As soon as I left Jiayi Dan Room, I suddenly saw a person.

"Huh? Senior Brother Zhao?" Li Fan was a little surprised when he saw him.

The visitor was Zhao Xu, who ranked third among direct disciples in the sect competition.

Li Fan and Zhao Xu didn't have much contact at first. They only met a few times during the competition. At this time, Zhao Xu was waiting at the door of the alchemy room, obviously waiting for Li Fan.

This is slightly surprising.

Zhao Xu smiled when he saw Li Fan and walked forward in a few steps.

"Hello, Junior Brother Li. I heard that you have always been self-disciplined and don't like to join in the fun. Now it turns out that's true. I found out from Junior Sister Lu Yudan that you should be refining elixirs in the alchemy room at this time, so I came here." Zhao Xu said.

Li Fan nodded in return, and then asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, do you have any business with me?"

"Well, I came here to make a deal with Junior Brother." Zhao Xu said, "I wonder if Junior Brother Li has taken the 'Shenhua Pill' before? Are you interested in this pill?"

"Shenhua Pill?" Li Fan became somewhat interested after hearing this.

Shenhua Pill, a pill that greatly replenishes spiritual consciousness, is also one of the top three rewards in this sect competition.

Li Fan knew the name of this elixir, but he had not taken it yet.

Seeing that Li Fan seemed to be interested, Zhao Xu became more energetic and said: "Junior brother Li, as you know in this competition, I won a Shenhua Pill, but this thing is useless to me."

"It's not that the elixir is not good, it's just that I accidentally took a Shenhua elixir before, and the effect of this elixir is best when I take it for the first time. If I take the second one, the effect is not as good as one-tenth of the previous one. .”

"In this sect competition, what I want most is the Earthly Evil Artifact Qinghan Xiao. However, since Senior Brother Qiao got this thing, I know he needs it too, so I can't exchange it."

"So, I came here to see Junior Brother Li just to ask if Junior Brother has taken Shenhua Pill. If not, I would like to make an exchange with you."

Li Fan understood.

He also saw it when Dabi gave out rewards.

Zhao Xu didn't really want Shenhua Dan, but as the third player in the competition, he had no choice.

In fact, Li Fan still wants the Shenhua Pill.

He had never taken this elixir, and it was said that this elixir greatly increased his consciousness.

Li Fan's philosophy is to continuously strengthen his advantages without any special shortcomings.

And Li Fan's great advantage is his powerful spiritual consciousness.

If given the chance, Li Fan still wants to continue to strengthen.

only……

Li Fan said: "Senior Brother Zhao, I have used the basalt gold I obtained in the competition. If you want this thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to exchange it."

"Hey!" Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I don't make weapons, so it's useless to ask for basalt gold."

"I heard that Junior Brother Li is a recognized alchemy genius in the sect, and he also masters a unique elixir called Yuxu Dan, which can suppress the inner fire."

"I was too greedy to practice Qigong before, and it was difficult to suppress my inner fire. I also took too many commonly used pills to suppress my inner fire, and the effect was not very good."

"I came here this time to make a deal with Junior Brother Li. I want to use this Shenhua Pill to exchange Junior Brother for ten bottles of Jade Void Pill. Junior Brother Li, what do you think?"
