Myriad Paths

"Golden Elixir Chapter" says: "Five grains can still live people. If people get it, they will live, and if they don't get it, they will die. What's more, the top-grade magical medicine will not benefit people ten thousand times as much as the five grains."

In other words, people can use external objects to strengthen their bodies. The human body can absorb supernatural properties from the outside world, such as elixirs, through certain channels, and become immortal.

Therefore, in Taoism, there are two paths, one is inner elixir and the other is outer elixir.

Inner elixir is generated by cultivating one's own nature and life. It is said that "the dragon and tiger tripod is the body and mind. The body is the furnace tripod, the heart is the divine chamber, and the body and fluid are the pool of flowers."

If the practitioner is not talented enough and cannot form the inner elixir on his own, he can only rely on external force. Through the external force, the energy of heaven and earth converge to form the outer elixir. After swallowing it, he can help himself to form the elixir.

Some use ordinary alchemy cauldrons, some use other people's bodies as cauldrons, and so on.

The practice of inner alchemy requires oneself to be rigorous and only pursue oneself. The requirements for qualifications are average, but the requirements for character are extremely high.

The practice of external elixirs requires constant exploration and experimentation to find out what external objects are useful for making elixirs for oneself. It requires extremely high qualifications and high requirements for one's character.

It is also not possible to enter the level. If a practitioner of inner alchemy wants to enter the level, he needs to practice slowly and hard by himself. Eventually, the soul will be perfect and he will be able to enter the level.

If a practitioner of the external elixir wants to become a high-level elixir, he must design the elixir recipe himself, experiment again and again, and finally adjust the external elixir that is effective for him. After swallowing it, he can become a high-level elixir.

In the final analysis, Taoist practice cannot escape from the saying of "the beauty of the sun and moon, the energy of heaven and earth, the mind and thoughts, the cinnabar of vision, the bending of the body and the body, the desire for transcendence, more in and less out".

The only difference is that inner alchemy incorporates these materials into the body, uses the body as the alchemy furnace, and practices slowly.

Or, the Waidan can refine and prepare these materials in the alchemy furnace of the outside world, and then eat them to obtain them directly.

Both of these are golden elixirs, there is no difference between them, it just depends on the path they take.

For Shen Shuibi, she originally practiced inner alchemy, but now that her body is broken into pieces, the inner alchemy cannot be used because the body cannot make an alchemy furnace, so she can just use the outer alchemy.

The one she refined was called the 'Sweeping Evil and Returning to Righteousness Pill'.

This elixir is an orthodox external elixir refined according to the golden elixir method. Taking it can turn into a golden elixir.

Refining this kind of thing is easy for her, the difficulty lies only in the preliminary preparation stage.

Yang Ning's collection has helped her replenish the supply. After refining it in the past few days, she was ready to start taking it.

A golden elixir was swallowed into the stomach.

But I saw that the righteousness in Jianggong, Guanyuan, Qihai, Haihai, Mingtang, Tianqiao Qihai and other places on her body suddenly appeared, and she was dull and vigorous. She used the spirit of Yuanming to control her own Qi and combine it with the void. Qi, water and fire are both in harmony, dragon and tiger are in harmony, and the strength suddenly begins to surge.

Chasing the two qi in the ecliptic, gathering the three natures in the Yuan Palace, clustering the five elements, harmonizing the four images, dragons roaring and tigers roaring, jade cauldrons boiling in soup, gold furnaces blazing, and then the mysterious beads become images.

Suddenly, strange phenomena appeared around Shen Shuibi's body, many Taoist rhymes resounded, purple energy lingered, blessings came, there was an illusion of Taiyin coming down, and the moon spirit fluttered!

However, all the visions were within three feet of her, but the outside world did not sense them at all.

Ninth grade, it’s done.

There are no bottlenecks or surprises at all. For her, it just comes naturally.

However, at the same time, the prefect of White Snake Prefecture, who was in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, he shrunk to the ground and rushed to Shen Shuibi's side in the blink of an eye.

I happened to see that bright moon phenomenon.

The condensed light is long and cold, and the dew falls, and Tianle makes a sound that makes his muscles and bones feel cold.

The wind and dew make the crystal stars appear, and the cicada chants defeat the moonlight moonlight.

What a waning moon.

Solitary and beautiful, it shines so brightly that the world has admired it for countless thousands of years.

The prefect's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly bowed and saluted Shen Shuibi: "I don't know that senior is here, and there is so much trouble... No, I was treated lightly before. I hope senior won't blame me."

This level of Taoist rhyme must be of the fifth grade!

A fifth-grade master, is that young master’s maid?

Oh My God!

Who is this?

"It's not disturbing, but am I disturbing you? I didn't expect such a movement. I have already restrained you, but after all, you have entered the sixth level, so you still noticed it." Shen Shuibi was very polite. There was no arrogance in his look, but rather a bit of embarrassment.

After all, it has disturbed others.

Quite troublesome.

"No... don't bother me. I dare to ask, senior, who is the protector of the young master? Is it inappropriate for me to arrange a trip outside the territory for the young master without authorization?" The prefect asked Shen Shuibi, covered in cold sweat.

He was a little worried.

If you get into trouble...

This is the fifth grade.

The full strength of a fifth-grade expert is enough to cause an extraterrestrial world to collapse, and billions of living beings to be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The further you climb, the more you can feel the huge difference between each level.

It's just that... the aura of this fifth-grade person is a little too weak?

He couldn't help but look up and confirm Daoyun.

It is indeed the fifth grade.

Perhaps it was deliberately hidden to prevent the young master from knowing the existence of this protector.

Just a little weird.

Why is the young master a direct descendant of Wushen Mountain, but the Taoist protector around him is from the Taoist sect?

Forget it, those things are not yours to get involved in. If you ask too many questions, you will die.

"Ah? Outside the territory? Just be happy. Anyway, his teacher told him to make his own way, so I don't care about that much. Is this why you came to me to ask?" Shen Shuibi tilted her head.

"Exactly, if senior feels that nothing is wrong, then I will feel at ease." The prefect of White Snake Prefecture bent down and said.

Of course, it is impossible for him to say that he came to see the reality because he sensed a certain high-level existence. That would appear to be too ignorant.

"That's it." Shen Shuibi tilted her head.

"Then I don't dare to disturb my senior anymore, so I'll leave first." The prefect of White Snake Prefecture immediately left and returned to his car.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a look at Li Qi on the carriage on the other side.

His eyes were filled with envy.

I'm really envious of these proud men.

Not only do you have elders to protect you all the way, but you are also gifted with the top-notch skills to directly enter the first level, and you have enough resources and adventures.

Moreover, looking at the aura of that young master, there is a hint of innate Taoism, right?

That means that he has always been superior to others since he was born. Presumably this is also the reason why he was able to be accepted as a disciple by Da Zhu.

Until the end, I can stand at the top as a matter of course.

————————

After a while, Shen Shuibi ran to Li Qi's side.

Li Qi was reading the book "Blessings" when he saw Shen Shuibi coming and looked at her.

This sight shocked me.

Shen Shuibi's body was filled with strong Taiyin energy, which had not yet dissipated.

"Li Qi! I'm in the ninth rank!" Shen Shuibi said happily.

Is this the ninth level?

Li Qi was startled.

Wow, for these proud people, getting high-quality products is really not a problem for them, right?

Oh, no.

Shen Shuibi was originally at the fifth level, and for her, the ninth level was something she could easily capture.

"Congratulations to Miss Shen for returning to the ninth rank." Li Qi said politely.

"Hmm~, by the way, I also made you some gifts." Shen Shuibi looked very happy, hiding her hands behind her back, with a smile on her face.

"Gift?" Li Qi was a little curious.

"That's it!" Shen Shuibi stretched out his hand and took out a golden ball, about the size of a little finger.

"What is this?" Li Qi tilted his head, not quite understanding.

"When I was refining the elixir, I made it for you by the way. When I was refining the elixir, I made it for you by the way!" Shen Shuibi said with an expression asking for credit.

"Waitan?" Li Qize frowned.

According to his superficial understanding, the outer elixir should be something with great side effects, like refining the outer elixir from the inner elixir of a monster. Once used, the future will be cut off.

"Yes, Waidan, what's wrong?" Shen Shuibi saw Li Qi's look and didn't know why he looked so serious.

"Can external elixirs be used as well?" Li Qi asked.

"Ah? Oh, I understand what you mean." Shen Shuibi heard Li Qi ask this and immediately understood what he was worried about.

So Rabbit began to explain.

"What's wrong with the external elixir?"

"In the past, Lord Yuanjun, the emperor of high heaven, preached to the world, instructing the people about the rise and fall of heaven and earth, and the propriety of the sun and moon's reciprocation. Since the completion of the Erdan Sutra, people in the world have heard about the great road. Mercury is taken from sand, silver is taken from lead, and mercury is compared to Yanglong. The silver is the yin tiger, and the moon fire is added to it. It takes the energy from all directions and responds to the four seasons. The sulfur is the medicine, combined with the spiritual sand. It cannot be returned to Penglai, and it will not die in the catastrophe of the human world. Why can't this kind of thing be used? "

"As for the rumors you heard, are they all spread by unlearned liars?"

"People in the world are fond of small tricks and do not judge the depth of the Tao. External medicines must be used. In fact, I have to use external medicine because my body is too seriously injured."

Shen Shuibi said while fiddling with the elixir in his hand: "There are two sources of qi root and liquid in the body. If the qi root is not deep, the leaves will not be lush, and if the liquid source is unclear, the flow will not be long. The so-called 'source' comes from here. , If your health is not good and your roots are not strong, it is difficult to achieve inner elixirs, so if you want to practice, you can only rely on outer elixirs.”

"You only need to use the five metals and eight stones to refine the ninth-grade dragon and tiger elixir over time and months. You can take it to receive the true energy, refine the form and live in the world, and you can easily reach the ninth grade. "

Shen Shuibi said it easily, but Li Qi was frightened when he heard it.

"Then, is this the outer elixir? If I take it, I can directly enter the ninth level of the Taoist sect?" Li Qi was shocked.

According to Shen Shuibi, doesn't eating one pill make you reach ninth level? Wo Ri, who is still practicing?

But when Shen Shuibi heard this, she rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking about? The outer elixir must be refined by yourself."

"In the final analysis, Waidan is just a choice that is not useful for your small world of human body. Although the small world of human body may seem simple, it is a 'world' after all. How can an outsider find out clearly? Even I can't. Discover every detail of someone else’s body.”

"Only you can see many things clearly, so you can only refine the elixir according to your own situation, and you must not rely on the hands of outsiders."

"Otherwise, the refining of the external elixir is inconsistent with the small world of the human body. Not only will it have no effect if you eat it, but you will also be killed by the messy mercury gas of the metal elixir. Even if you have entered the ninth level of martial arts, have a strong body and strong kidney metabolism, But even if you take one Waidan, you won’t feel better, and you may have to lie down for three to five months.”

When Li Qi heard this, he touched his chin and asked: "Then, isn't the Waidan highly poisonous? How about taking two pills to plot against others?"

"The Waidan is so expensive...you want poison. Other poisons are not effective. The effect is better...Besides, when you reach the eighth level or above, your body and world are stable, and taking the Waidan will not be affected. Yes, but there is no benefit." Shen Shuibi was even more speechless.

If you want to poison people, there are plenty of poisons. Why use Waidan to poison people? If the right person eats this thing, it can directly enter the ninth level. The value can be imagined. It is really conceivable to use it as poison.

The more potent poison is also much cheaper than the external elixir.

At this point, Shen Shuibi stopped talking: "Okay, after talking so much, let's look at me!"

"So, what is this?" Li Qi also stopped talking about Waidan.

Since Shen Shuibi said this is not Waidan, what is it?

"This thing is called Tuberculosis Worm. It is an elixir recorded in the Purple Court Immortal Prescription of the Shangqing Dynasty. It can strengthen Qi and blood, replenish the five internal organs, and subdue tuberculosis in the body. You were previously invaded by the evil energy of those two sixth-grade monsters. I have been I was very worried about whether there would be any sequelae, so I made it for you when I was making the elixir!" Shen Shuibi handed the elixir to Li Qi and said with a smile, her expression was very gentle, and there was a smile in her eyes, as if there was something in it! Star.

Looking at that smiling face, Li Qi was a little moved.

She has me in her heart.

"Thank you, Miss Shen." Li Qi thanked him.

"It doesn't matter. I hope you're fine. If it weren't for you this time, I would definitely be in danger. I want to thank you. Then you take the medicine and I'll leave first." Shen Shuibi said, getting up to leave. .

Li Qi didn't doubt him, and after watching the other party go out, he took it directly.

Then, he could clearly feel that after taking it, a flow of energy rose from the tail gate along the Du Vein.

This flow of energy is warm, and when it reaches a place, the blood and qi there will boil, the muscles will tighten and become hard, and the blood flow will speed up.

Then, the heat flows through Jiaji to Niwan Baihui point, and then descends along the Ren channel to the perineum.

Wait, perineum?

Li Qi suddenly started to sweat.

Such a huge flow of energy, blood and heat can instantly make his muscles harden involuntarily. Naturally...

Hello.

The effect of this thing on strengthening qi and blood is too strong.

However, at this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly opened the door and came in from the outside: "By the way, Li Qi, there is one thing I forgot to mention. Remember to prepare ice water before eating and soak it in it, otherwise it will cause qi and blood. It’s boiling, but it doesn’t have any side effects, it’s just a little uncomfortable.”

After saying that, she retracted her head, closed the door, and walked away. She probably had something else to do. She didn't even look back, and she didn't know whether she saw it or not.

Li Qi was hunched over inside, his face red, his ears red, and his mouth open.

Damn it, dead rabbit!
