Qi Wuhuo looked at the [Record of Becoming Immortal] for a long time without moving.

He clearly saw how a young man full of vigor and vitality gradually fell into the path that he had once despised the most.

"He in the past, I am today."

"I wonder if I will..."

This book had a more direct impact on Qi Wuhuo than the old man's warnings, and seemed to have a greater impact.

The road is long, like walking on a cliff.

Never take a single step back.

He placed the scroll on the table, glanced at the sword, but did not pick it up immediately.

Instead, he packed up the other things and compared them with the practice records, and found that the value of the alchemy furnace seemed to be the most precious of all things. The world's classics are divided into five levels, Taoism has five types of methods, and the spiritual objects in the world are also roughly divided into five levels, and each school and sect has its own way of calling them.

Some call it the Mysterious Yellow of Heaven and Earth, and the best grade is called Immortal.

Some people use A, B, C, and D as their names.

Some are ranked from five to one, with one being the highest.

Most of the top-notch objects are only in the hands of the gods and immortals, and there are only two levels of objects circulating in the world.

The first level is ordinary magic weapon, which can be used after cultivating the innate Qi.

In ordinary Dharma lineages, this is the treasure that guards the mountain.

The other is to obtain the power from various sects in the world, and only the real person who has gathered the five energies in his chest can fully exert his power.

This alchemy furnace once belonged to Tan Tai Guochu, who was on good terms with the mountain god. It is the most superior among all the magic weapons. The alchemy furnaces used by ordinary casual cultivators are only of this level. It can refine vital energy, remove impurities and drug poisons, and purify medicinal properties. It is engraved with several kinds of talismans and can accommodate extremely large amounts of medicinal properties.

Three types of prescriptions are also included.

Ordinary practitioners can swallow the Yangyuan Pill to replenish their vital energy; they can also use it to regulate their bodies and it is very effective in treating diseases.

The restoring liquid can make up for the loss of the soul and quickly restore the state after casting a spell.

Baicaodan is named after the hundreds of herbs, which is inspired by the fact that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs in the past. It can remove all toxicity caused by non-illegal spells and magical powers, and it also has a significant weakening effect on the toxic damage caused by magical powers.

All three are engraved on the alchemy cauldron.

You just need to put in the herbs and activate the magic weapon, then you can refine the medicinal properties by relying on the material and characteristics of the magic weapon itself.

Then, under the effect of the magic circle, the poison in the pill is removed, and then the pill is made. Naturally, it is impossible to produce a pill of extremely high quality, but this kind of pill is originally needed for traveling around the world. The material of the medicinal materials itself has already determined the upper limit. No matter how strong your pill-making skills are, the difference is not very big.

However, the [Record of Becoming Immortals] also said that there were Taoist masters who, when refining elixirs, condensed their essence and energy and could transform into a human or a horse, wandering around and having their own intelligence.

As for the package, it contained white jade-like crystals.

It can be used to set up formations, and is also the base material for alchemy and the most common material for refining equipment.

If you meet a monk, you can barter with him.

Practitioners are not bound by any country. They can go anywhere in the world. There is no currency system that is powerful enough to make rules and be recognized by all practitioners, so they still choose the barter style. In addition, there are three special round coins with a brass color.

According to the [Record of Becoming Immortals], this is the [Emperor's Coin] stamped by the Emperor of Heaven.

If you meet an immortal wandering around the mortal world, you can exchange this for some good fortune.

So it is a hard currency.

Most cultivators would not refuse to exchange for Heavenly Emperor money even if they did not encounter what they needed.

Qi Wuhuo stroked the black iron sword box again, and in the faint spiritual light, he finally put all the things on the table into it. He kept the three Emperor of Heaven coins with him. Wearing this item itself has the effect of warding off evil and avoiding danger. Finally, he stretched out his hand and took out the sword. The sword body was long and narrow, and it was densely wrapped with faded red ropes. It seemed to be used to ward off evil and monsters, which was extremely ominous.

Qi Wuhuo untied the red rope and drew out the sword.

The young man looked at the sword and sighed for a long time.

"It's...completely rusted."

"How could a sword like this be able to howl at night?"

I don't know if it's the man or the sword that's rusted.

"We should take this as a warning."

Qi Wuhuo came to the edge of the village and picked up some dead branches and piled them up.

It is cold and damp in winter, and dry branches are difficult to ignite.

Qi Wuhuo thought about it and found that according to the method in the notebook, there was a folk method; he raised his left hand, pinched the second joint of the middle finger with his thumb, and slightly bent his palm to gather his own vitality.

With this vital energy as the altar——

"Disciple bows to the God of Viewing, all things pay respect to the God of Fire, and all the demons and ghosts around turn to dust."

The vitality seems to be drained away.

In an instant, the fingertips felt hot like fire.

Qi Wuhuo subconsciously pointed forward, a flash of fire passed by, and flames ignited on the pile of dead branches that had accumulated due to the dampness of winter.

The heat rose, the fire lit up brightly, the warmth drove away the severe cold of winter, and the snow around began to melt.

"This is... magic."

Even if it is just the means of a small sect.

Qi Wuhuo sighed to himself and tore off the second half of the book [Record of Becoming Immortal], the record after breaking through the madness. He squatted down and threw those pages of crazy text into the fire. All the obsessions, sighs, and malice were finally turned into ashes. Qi Wuhuo raised his hand and took the rusty sword, brushed his fingers across the sword, and then turned his hand and inserted the sword into the fire.

Burn the book with fire to bury the sword spirit.

An absurd dream of pursuing immortality.

"I won't be like you."

Qi Wuhuo's face was illuminated by the firelight, his eyes were peaceful, and the words he spoke sounded just like what Tan Tai Xuan said after he killed the evil cultivator.

Perhaps this is the case for all generations of monks.

He stood up, his clothes moving slightly, and turned to leave.

The young man walked away.

When the wind blew past, the sword whistled continuously, just like it did in the past.

You must know that when he was young he had the ambition to reach the sky and become the best in the world.

Then it burst into flames.

…

This volume of [Records of Becoming Immortal] records in detail the various key points of the first stage of cultivation [Refining the Essence], as well as the magical powers of cultivation. Because he didn't know if there were any problems with the key points, Qi Wuhuo just treated them as jade from another mountain and just looked at them without practicing. As for those methods and magical powers, he went to ask the old man for advice, not knowing whether he could practice them.

The old man was flipping through the so-called Record of Immortality at the time and sighed, "Too much cultivation is not a good thing."

"You have this concern, which is good. The magical powers of each lineage are all achieved based on their own style. Each has its own characteristics and tendencies. The movement of their qi and the characteristics of their own innate qi are all adjusted to match the magic. That's why there is the so-called [Core Daozang]. If you practice the alchemy of the Lingbao family, but use the magical powers of the Tongxuan sect, there will inevitably be some incompatibilities."

“So there are also situations where even if you have collected many magical powers, you cannot practice them.”

Qi Wuhuo said: "Then I..."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Didn't I tell you? What I taught you does not fall into the five categories, so you don't have to worry."

“The Tao is so long and ineffable that it returns to nothingness. This is called the shape of the shapeless, the image of the imageless.”

"Originally, there is no form or image, so why do you have to stick to it?"

The old man put down the Immortal Record and said calmly, as if it were a matter of course:

"All kinds of methods and magical powers in the world can be used by you if you are willing to learn them. Don't worry."

"My lineage."

"Everything is allowed, there are no taboos."

Qi Wuhuo finally felt relieved. Of course, he also understood that what the old man meant by "no taboos" was that there was no need to worry about one's own cultivation, but one must never go astray. And except for Li Puyu, everyone else in this town either respected or feared him. Qi Wuhuo studied the magical powers recorded in the "Record of Becoming Immortals" at home, and interacted with the spiritual creatures in the mountains when he went up the mountain.

Discuss the five arts of Taoism.

In the mountains, people practice breathing exercises and eat talismans.

Medicine is about curing diseases and saving lives, and promoting the circulation of qi and blood.

For fate, the astrology is used, and the Zi Wei Dou Shu is used. For divination, the Liu Ren Shen Ke and Qi Men Dun Jia are used.

Physiognomy can be seen from the appearance of people, the stars, and the feng shui of mountains and rivers.

Even a Taoist who has only reached the realm of refining primordial essence should have such qualities. Although Qi Wuhuo did not have a deep exposure to cultivation in his dream due to his own understanding of the world, these things have actually been circulated. He has read the basic classics in his dreams and even studied them when he was demoted.

In addition, there are exchanges with mountain gods, Tao Taigong and other local gods.

With sufficient accumulation, guidance, and constant study of Taoist scriptures, there has been some progress.

Time flies so fast that more than a month has passed without me noticing.

One day, after drinking tea and discussing the art of escape with Tao Taigong, there was a sudden loud thunder and a continuous shaking.

Tao Taigong paused, stroked his beard and sighed: "The mountain god is about to break through."

Qi Wuhuo paused slightly.

From afar, the gathering of vital energy is like surging waves, stretching for hundreds of miles, with a huge momentum!

A voice came from far away:

"No doubt, let's get together."
