Chapter 304: Immortal Cultivation Arts, Huang Chao Preaching

Ningfang, a mortal area, a library.

Now Gu Dan has a general understanding of Ningfang.

This place for practicing Taoism is not as detached from the world as most people imagine. On the contrary, its interior is so clear-cut and real that it makes people feel helpless.

People who cannot produce unique magical skills or rare treasures can only wander around in the mortal area and can hardly find a direct way to be promoted, unless they become a spiritual plant husband like an old farmer, grow spiritual rice, spiritual bamboo and other things, slowly accumulate savings, and buy a yellow-level cave, then they can truly take root in Ningfang.

But even for monks, it would take decades - because it is not the efforts of one person, but a competition with a real large force.

For those immortal seedlings who joined Ningfang and were not masters, except for those with top-grade spiritual roots, their fates were sealed. The contracts had already been signed, so how could they go back on their word?

Do you think the Enforcement Hall's magic is not proficient enough? But contributing rare objects and magic is not as simple as you think.

I'm afraid not many people can take this "shortcut".

If it was when the Immortal House was first opened, it would be fine, but now it has been 79 years since the Immortal House came. Over the years, countless masters have come to join the Immortal House. Except for the real owner of the Immortal House, who knows how many different rare treasures and immortal arts they have brought?

What's more, Gu Dan was not the first person from the Xia Dynasty to come here.

The classics related to the way of immortals that he knew were also read by Qingpingzi and others. Considering Qingpingzi's personality of using whatever he could get, if this shortcut was possible, he would have taken it long ago, and it would not be Gu Dan's turn to sell knowledge of the way of immortals.

"Although I am in the fairyland, why do I feel less at ease than in the mortal world?"

Walking on the road, Gu Dan frowned slightly.

At least in the secular world, he almost never worried about money and other things, and always followed the principle of just having enough.

But now it is not a question of whether there are enough or not, but without spirit stones, you will be several levels inferior to others.

Here, spiritual stones have become a real symbol of status and strength, with a huge influence, even better than the gold and silver treasures in the mortal world! Even if he has the green wood liquid to secretly help him, comparable to the spiritual roots of different species, he can only compete with people living in earth-level caves. It is really unfair.

Because of the resources, the gap between talents is so huge. This is still an immature immortal path! If he didn't have immortality, I'm afraid Gu Dan's mood would be completely different from what it is now.

While he was thinking, Gu Dan had already arrived at the library.

There are very few people here, almost no one.

That’s true. After all, it’s just an ordinary area, and internal fighting is strictly prohibited in Ningfang.

No matter who strikes first, no matter who has a big grudge, anyone who dares to fight inside the Immortal House will be severely punished!

Of course, if you really want to practice magic, it's not impossible. There are various martial arts arenas in Ningfang. You just need to pay some spiritual sand. As long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want.

But the cultivators in the ordinary level area are people who are busy with their livelihood and future, so how can they have the time? Anyone who really has some ability and ambition will think of ways to get in, at least they have to gain a foothold in the yellow level area first!

Reading is something that only people with leisure time can be interested in.

When Gu Dan walked in, a white-robed monk standing in front of the door reminded him, "You can read the books on the first floor at will, but you cannot take them out. To enter the second floor, you must pay a spiritual sand. If there are immortal arts and classics that you like, you can buy them at the price."

Gu Dan just nodded casually and stepped in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see four big words hanging on the bookshelf.

Cultivate the Hundred Arts of Immortality!

And below the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, there were scattered books.

Alchemy, formation, talisman, and refining, these four major categories each occupied a large area. As for the other skills, they were simply thrown into a corner. Even if they were added together, they would not occupy as much space as these four categories alone. Even the classics could not compare to them.

It is true that the way of immortals is slowly reviving nowadays.

But the real knowledge about the way of immortality is almost all in "archaeology".

They were compiled from classic books collected in various countries, and then tested one by one to see which ones work and which ones are true.

As for truly creating my own immortal magic, I'm sorry, but we have only been immortals for seventy-nine years. Where do I have the time and leisure to do that?

Use whatever you find!

Gu Dan naturally came to the Dandao area first, took out a book called "Basics of Dandao" and started reading.

After a while, Gu Dan's expression became a little strange.

He quickly turned to the last page of "The Fundamentals of Alchemy" and saw a line of large characters.

[The lack of popularity of the Dao of Alchemy is not due to the Dao of Alchemy’s harm, but rather a case of a skilled cook having no rice to cook with! If any Daoist friends are interested in the Dao of Alchemy, they should join Lingzhen Hall and study spiritual plants with us, understand the pharmacology, and only then can the glory of the Dao of Alchemy be restored! ]

Rather than being a book about the knowledge of alchemy, this book could be more of a recruitment brochure for Lingzhentang.

It briefly introduces some of the mysteries of alchemy, and then goes on to boast about the effects of various high-end and impressive elixirs. Then it changes the subject and explains the current predicament of Ningfang. Blah blah blah, it just has nothing to do with alchemy.

Among the four most famous arts of cultivating immortals, only alchemy remains unknown to the world.

Ordinary medicinal herbs, no matter how old they are, are not spiritual plants.

What the Immortal House lacks now is not the elixir recipe, but the elixirs written in the recipe that can make people want to cry.

Monks can practice independently, but it may take forever to see elixirs practice independently.

If we really wait until the elixir is born on its own to the level where the art of alchemy can be reproduced, then this generation may not be able to eat a single elixir in their entire lives.

Lingzhentang is the organization within Ningfang that is responsible for researching how to cultivate various spiritual medicines. Of course, most of the time they are also responsible for the cultivation of spiritual rice, spiritual bamboo and other things.

Even Gu Dan just shook his head.

Qingmu Liquid is very effective in inducing labor, but it requires something to be used; it cannot be created out of thin air.

If one ingredient is missing from a prescription, the efficacy will be very different.

What about the alchemy?

Gu Dan wandered around the books in front of Dan Dao for a while and had to move to other areas.

The idea is beautiful, but the conditions are not met. This is the difference between reality and ideal.

He came to the area of ​​the formation.

I picked up "Detailed Analysis of Formations" and started reading it.

As a major category among the four arts of cultivating immortals, formation is much more "people-friendly".

Although a truly powerful formation would require the assistance of various formation eyes and spiritual materials, it is not impossible without them!

It's just that its effectiveness is a little weaker, but at least it can still be used.

This book describes in great detail the uses and divisions of various formations. As for how to actually set up a formation? Please go to the Formation Hall!

Looking at the four arts of cultivation one by one, you can only have a general understanding of how to practice? Either go to the corresponding hall inside Ningfang and find a way to join it, or go upstairs and buy it yourself.

You have to pay for the knowledge of immortality! As for the area of ​​cultivating the Hundred Arts of Immortals, Gu Dan couldn't help but rub his brows.

It was so diverse, with music, puppets, mineral exploration, and so on. It was a mess and had no system at all. Just one look at it would make one's scalp tingle.

Even in the real heyday of immortality, few people practice these hundred arts, and they are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with the four prestigious arts. In this day and age, they can only be thrown into corners and remain unknown to the world.

"Ningfang has almost monopolized the market now."

Gu Dan frowned slightly.

As the saying goes, a glimpse of the whole picture reveals the whole picture.

Although Ningfang has only been around for more than twenty years, everything seems so familiar to the people. Strict restrictions have long been in place for all aspects, and any cultivator who wants to find a shortcut can find traces of Ningfang's internal affairs everywhere.

Is there a way? Yes! Join Ningfang first.

If you really don't want to join, you can buy it with your own spirit stones. If you succeed in cultivating it, you will be considered awesome.

Gu Dan walked out of the area of ​​cultivating the Hundred Arts and soon found a place that was truly worth his stay.

【Immortal cultivation concept】

When he walked into the new area, Gu Dan saw a classic book at first glance, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Differences in Talents, Summary of Spiritual Roots"

Reaching out and picking up the book, Gu Dan began to read it with great interest.

This book is not the product of "archaeology", but was compiled by people today. However, the information inside is obtained through research on the relics left by the immortal way, and is not just empty talk.

According to what is said in this book, for those with inferior spiritual roots, it is not a big deal to spend decades to cultivate to the foundation-building stage. The real difficulty lies in the advancement to the foundation-building stage!

If there were no medicinal pills or formations to assist, the chances of success in relying on one's own strength to advance to the foundation-building stage would be slim.

Just look at the current Immortal Houses and you will know that, if you count the six Immortal Houses, there are only more than 30 foundation-building cultivators in total. If you spread them out, there are really only a few of them.

As for those with middle-grade spiritual roots, the probability of advancing to the foundation-building stage is slightly higher than those with low-grade spiritual roots, but not much higher.

But when it comes to high-grade spiritual roots, there is a huge gap!

If one cultivates a top-grade spiritual root without any unexpected problems, there is a 30% chance of advancing to the foundation-building stage even without other aids. If one adds the legendary foundation-building pill and the protection of the spiritual formation for advancement, the chance can reach almost 80% to 90%, which is already extremely amazing!

As for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, it is even more outstanding. The cultivation speed is four times faster than that of the lower-grade spiritual roots. It is also a sure thing to be promoted to the foundation building stage. It is loved by heaven and earth! For ordinary cultivators, they may have to face the hurdle of life and death, but for the Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, it is just a small dish, and it is definitely not something in the pond! It’s just that now, after 79 years of immortality, I have never heard of a cultivator who was found to have a Heavenly Spiritual Root. Of course, it may also be hidden by the Immortal Square and unknown to outsiders.

When I read to the end, I found that this book actually mentioned extraordinary spiritual roots.

[Those with extraordinary spiritual roots are born and nurtured by the earth, loved by all things, born with supernatural powers, and are not ordinary things. They are treasures of heaven and earth, rarely seen in thousands of years.

According to the records in the classics, he broke through the realms in an incredible way, and he also had his own magical powers to help him. If he were to appear in the world, it would surely cause bloodshed and turmoil in the immortal world! 】

Just these two sentences, and it ends abruptly.

Gu Dan glanced at the author of the book, Mr. Liu.

This shouldn't be a real name.

'Born with divine powers, divine help.'

Gu Dan thought of the effects of Qingmu Liquid.

Then, is it the magical power of Qingmuye itself? It really corresponds.

However, strange spiritual roots should never appear in humans. They are treasures that can only be born from things that are loved by heaven and earth.

Gu Dan searched around here again, but did not find any books related to the art of internal breath. Instead, he walked into a new place.

【Magic Magic】

In this area, there are only a few books, placed alone.

Gu Dan was quite surprised. A place as stingy as Ningfang would actually be so kind as to leave a few books of immortal arts behind?

He moved closer to take a look.

"The Secret of Small Clouds and Rain", "The Art of Earth Movement", and "The Method of Rongsheng". They are genuine books on immortality, so Gu Dan naturally picked them up and examined them carefully.

Not long after, Gu Dan's expression became a little strange again.

"Small Cloud and Rain Technique" is just as its name suggests! It uses spiritual energy to condense clouds and rain, and then sprinkles them down.

It can be renamed as artificial rainfall.

When Gu Dan came on a flying boat, he saw a cultivator performing magic, and it was this thing!

As for "Earth Movement Technique", the name is not bad, but the initial effect is not good. Have you seen it before? This thing is the immortal version.

But even the plow is saved.

Don’t worry about how big the effect is, just tell me if the earth shook!

As for the "Law of Tolerance", it is quite interesting.

This is the only magic technique that requires the assistance of external objects, such as spiritual sand, special essence and blood, or secret medicine, to perform some magic techniques.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but what about using the Little Cloud and Rain Technique together with the Rongsheng Method? ! That's artificial rainfall plus artificial nutrient solution!

This is the mystery of the way of immortality. A single ordinary immortal technique seems to be very common.

But there are so many magical methods. Different combinations together can have the effect of turning decay into something magical.

Gu Dan looked through all these free magic techniques and figured it out.

This isn't really about training people in magic; it's clearly about helping them lay a solid foundation for farming, helping them to overcome all difficulties, and directly handing them the method!

No wonder Ning Fang, who had been so stingy and strict before, would be so kind as to give them the magic for free.

So they were asked to farm!

You see, the four arts of cultivating immortals are so difficult and obscure that if you want to practice them you have to use spirit stones, and you may not be able to learn them.

And cultivating the hundred arts of immortality is even more dreamy.

But farming is different. You get what you sow. If you become a spiritual plant husband, the Immortal House will not treat you unfairly. They will even give you the immortal arts for free! "You are really amazing!"

Gu Dan could only sigh, but he also started reading these books on immortal arts.

It's free anyway, why not learn it?

Besides, these magic arts are very practical precisely because they are basic.

As for the ultimate effect of practicing to the extreme, where dark clouds cover billions of miles of sky with a wave of your hand, and mountains and rivers collapse with a stomp of your feet, you don't have to expect it too much.

If one could really cultivate to that level, what on earth would the Immortal House have to put these things here? I wouldn't even dare to draw such a picture.

More than ten days passed in a flash.

Gu Dan almost spent all his time in the study.

Cultivation is not something that can be achieved in a day, but he urgently needs to supplement his knowledge about the way of immortality.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The more you know, the farther you can see. He never rushes for a moment.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the head of the Huang Dynasty will be here soon. That is the style of a foundation-building master. If you don't get a good position, you little guys won't be able to see it!"

Just as Gu Dan was replenishing himself eagerly, he suddenly heard some noise coming from outside.

"Master Huang Chao?"

Gu Dan remembered.

Qian Qiancheng mentioned to him that Huang Chao seemed to be going to give a sermon.

Putting down the immortal book in his hand for the time being, Gu Dan also walked out.

Gu Dan was still somewhat curious about this "old friend" whom he had never met but left a deep impression on him.

Huang Chao and Mo Qiu had worked together for many years. Huang Chao also said that if he established a country, he would invite Mo Qiu to be the national teacher and Mohism to be the state religion.

But Mo Qiu ignored him completely.

But when they were in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, the Mohists did fight side by side with Huang Tian’s army.

Even though one wanted to dominate the world and the other wanted to protect the people, they came together by chance for different reasons.

After the Yuan River burst its banks, Huang Tian's army was scattered, and Huang Chao was nowhere to be found. He actually fled to the Buzhou Mountains and became a foundation-building cultivator! The "lost dog" at the beginning turned out to be the best one in Xia Chao's life, as far as Gu Dan knew.

The word "fate" is truly indescribable.

Following the large group, Gu Dan soon arrived at a large open space.

There were almost huge crowds of people there, and judging from their energy, at least half of them were masters, and they were standing very close to the front.

As for the center of the open space, there is an arena with a spiritual light shining on it.

The masters near the ring were rubbing their hands, looking very eager and expectant.

As for those immortal seedlings who have just joined, they are naturally no match for the grandmaster in grabbing positions, so they can only stay behind and wait.

Gu Dan immediately spotted Qian Qiancheng, who was leading the group of immortal seedlings and shouting something in the back, and approached him and asked, "Elder Qian."

"Friend Kong Dao, you are here."

Qian Qiancheng was not surprised to see Gu Dan. He just smiled and said, "You will be able to see the demeanor of a foundation-building cultivator later. Don't worry."

Seeing his respectful look, Gu Dan asked, "I saw those masters gathered in front of the stage, eager to fight. Why is that?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you this."

Qian Qiancheng said: "If the Master Huang Chao showed up and just preached, it would be too pale. So every time he preached, he would invite Qigong cultivators or grandmasters to compete with him to show the strength of the foundation-building cultivators.

As for those Qigong practitioners and grandmasters, although they had no chance of winning, the Huang Dynasty Hall Master was generous and gave spirit stones as a reward to those who dared to come on stage as long as they could survive one move, which naturally attracted many people to come. "

"Are there any spirit stones?"

Gu Dan's eyes lit up.

"Friend Kong"

Qian Qiancheng said helplessly: "Foundation-building cultivators are not as simple as you think. Ordinary Grandmasters are not their opponents at all, unless you burn your flesh and blood, but that is not worth the loss. Even if there are spiritual stones to compensate, the cost is more than the gain.

Those masters who dare to go on stage must be veterans who have practiced the way of immortality for 10 to 20 years, or even several decades. Only with the help of the master's status and immortal skills can they dare to go up and compete.

Although this is a good opportunity to earn spirit stones, if your own strength is not strong enough, it goes without saying that you will embarrass yourself in public. If you are seriously injured, it will take years for the master to recover!

I advise fellow Taoists not to aim too high, being down-to-earth is the shortest shortcut. What's wrong with being a spiritual plant husband? There are more than a thousand spiritual plant husbands in my Lingzhen Hall, and aren't they living well? If fellow Taoists are interested, why not be a spiritual plant husband for a few years first, and then find another career! "

"I remember what Elder Qian said."

Gu Dan nodded with a smile, having already made up his mind.

If he was just a master, it would be impossible for him to take a step forward.

But he is the grandmaster!

Even if Huang Chao really shamelessly used his trump card, he was not afraid. What did Kong Zhai have to do with him? He just changed his vest and continued.

If he abides by the rules, it would be even better. He could hold out for a few moves, pretend to be defeated, and earn some spiritual stones! He conserved his energy and did not provoke Shifei, but that did not mean he had to be unknown and stay away from everything.

Who knows who is wearing a vest?

He had tried his hand at the strength of a foundation-building cultivator in the Xia Dynasty, and he believed that even if several people from Ningfang attacked him together, they would not be able to stop him, so he was safe.

As the golden elixir has not yet appeared in the Immortal House, the Grand Master must seek ways to continue to advance and cannot just rely on years of hard work.

More and more people gathered, forming a densely packed crowd.

It is no exaggeration to say that throwing a brick into a crowd may hit several masters.

But today's protagonists are not them at all.

While I was waiting silently, suddenly, a strong wind blew over.

People with sharp eyes have already discovered that there is a small dot walking towards the horizon.

"Master Huang, Master Huang is here!"

Above the Immortal Pavilion, a man was flying in the air, strolling over, taking a leisurely walk, and being free and easy.

His feet landed in the air, but it seemed as if something was supporting him. His black robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked extremely majestic.

He walked slowly towards this place step by step from the sky. His speed seemed slow, but before he knew it, he had arrived on top of the ring.

On that rather domineering face were a pair of frightening tiger eyes!

Huang Chao said nothing, just glanced around.

The majestic foundation-building aura is undoubtedly evident, and the pressure is spreading.

The restless crowd below gradually quieted down, and finally became completely silent.

Just one person suppressed more than a thousand eagerly waiting monks below, making them dare not speak and could only look up.

Gu Dan finally met Huang Chao.

It really is the one from Otsuki - although we have never met in person before, I have always seen the portrait.

This old acquaintance whom I have never met before is doing really well now! "Thanks to all of you for your kindness, today I, Huang Chao, am here to preach."

Huang Chao spoke modestly, but his thunderous voice spread in all directions, coupled with the pressure from his foundation building, no one thought he could be so modest.

This Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall truly has the demeanor to overwhelm all other cultivators.

“If you want to preach, then it’s just empty talk.

Can anyone come up to the stage and fight a few moves to show their true strength? Those who can withstand one of my attacks will be rewarded with three spirit stones. Those who can withstand three attacks will be rewarded with fifty spirit stones. Those who can withstand ten moves will be rewarded with a yellow-level cave."

Huang Chao looked around with a bright look in his eyes.
