"The hunting is not about this moment. Since Fellow Daoist Hong wants to go back, I'd better go back first!"
While everyone else was hesitant, Gong Lan finally stood up and spoke.
Although the others were a little dissatisfied, they still agreed.
The group of people left this place and walked back.
When they arrived at the town, the group quickly separated, and Hong Ming also apologized to the others.
The matter just passed.
However, after returning to the cave, Hong Ming sat down cross-legged and began to feel this aura.
This aura was very strange, hovering around Hong Ming's body. Hong Ming could detect it, but he was helpless. No matter what magical power he had, he could not deal with this aura.
Moreover, this breath is also slowly dissipating.
"It's a little strange. This breath doesn't seem to be a kind of spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
Hong Ming's soul came into contact with the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth and received feedback from the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth.
This is an ability after the fifth level of enlightenment. It is naturally impossible for monks below the ordinary Golden Immortal to know it. However, after Hong Ming obtained this ability, it had many wonderful uses.
For example, in this town, most of the paths and paths of cultivation are almost clear at a glance.
In this case, Hong Ming was extremely transparent to the entire town.
A month later, Hong Ming walked out of the cave.
Mufu.
Mu Qing, as the mayor of the town and the only immortal, has been married for a long time, but his wife is a heavenly immortal and his heel is a fairy grass. The two have been married for millions of years, but they have never given birth.
When Hong Ming arrived, Mu Qing went out to greet him.
Enter the cave and make tea.
Mu Qing pretended not to care and asked:
"I heard that the Taoist priest went to hunt wild beasts, but he only shot once and then came back? This matter has spread in the town, and many people have some opinions."
"Senior Mu is joking. I always feel uncomfortable hunting wild beasts, so I simply won't hunt them. Anyway, I will practice hard here for some time and prepare to join the sect and give it a try."
Hong Ming frowned as he spoke, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
When Mu Qing saw this situation, he laughed:
"You don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Hong. This may not be a bad thing?"
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"Don't say it, don't say it."
Mu Qing shook his head and asked again: "What happened when fellow Taoist came this time?"
Hong Ming nodded:
"That's it. Senior Mu and junior come from the lower realm. These days, they are a little familiar with the fairy world, but they still know little about the nearby sects, so they came here specifically to ask for advice."
"This is easy."
Mu Qing smiled and began to explain.
This Diyuan City is one of the countless immortal cities in the immortal world. It is located in the Diyuan Territory. In the Diyuan Territory, the Diyuan Immortal Emperor is revered, and there are three major sects around Diyuan City, namely Canglong Sect, Jingxinyuan, and Mingdao Sect.
.
The ancestors of these three sects are all golden immortals.
It’s no longer a small sect.
Although they are not comparable to the major sects in the Immortal Realm, these three are all disciples of the Diyuan Immortal Emperor, and their status is respected. Therefore, the three sects have a very high status in this Diyuan Realm.
Mu Qing explained it, and Hong Ming understood.
Mu Qing is from the Mu family, but the disciples of the Mu family have to join the three sects. Even if there is a powerful Jinxian in the Mu family, this is the gap. Only by joining the three sects can the status be stable.
"I wonder what conditions are required to join the sect?"
After listening to the introduction, Hong Ming asked.
Taoist Zhenyuan asked Hong Min to enter the sect to practice cultivation. Logically speaking, all three sects are available, so Hong Ming doesn't have to pick and choose, he can enter any one he can.
Mu Qing smiled when he heard this:
"These three major sects have the same origin, and the entrance test is exactly the same, so if you can't enter one of them, you won't be able to enter the other two. In this case, Taoist friends need to be urgent."
"Please give me some advice from Senior Mu."
Hong Ming bowed his hands in salute.
Mu Qing nodded:
"In the sects in the lower realm, talent and qualifications are the main factors to be considered when entering a sect. However, in the fairy world, talents and qualifications are secondary. The first thing to look at is luck and merit, then the character, and finally the talent."
"Luck and merit?"
Hong Ming was stunned.
Suddenly I remembered the strange atmosphere of the time when I was killing wild beasts.
That thing….
"In the mortal world, there are people with extraordinary talents who can successfully cultivate Taoism and ascend to the immortal world in a short period of time. Many people think that this is because of their unparalleled talents and that they can quickly understand the Tao."
Mu Qing's voice was cold as he explained:
"But this is a fallacy."
"Talent and immortal body are very good, but this is not the key. Even in my pastoral family, there are dozens of techniques inherited. Almost every one of them can condense the immortal body. In the mortal world, the immortal body is a rare thing.
, but in the immortal world, everyone can condense the immortal body."
Hong Ming nodded.
Different places have different visions.
In the lower realm, an ordinary immortal body is a natural talent, and the road to becoming an immortal will be much smoother.
But after becoming an immortal, the role of the immortal body will be very, very small.
It's something like the Zhanwu Immortal Body, which is rare.
Most immortal bodies have certain attributes. For example, if Hong Ming concentrates on practicing the Hunyuan Tianhe Kung Fu, after becoming an immortal, he will become something like a pseudo-Hunyuan immortal body.
When you become a Xuanxian, you will have a Hunyuan Immortal body.
Among the immortal bodies, they are all extremely advanced.
For example, seven out of ten immortals in Wuyang Town now have immortal bodies, but the attributes of the immortal bodies are different and the level is not high.
Seeing Hong Ming nod, Mu Qing softened his tone and continued:
"When we, Qi Refiners, understand the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, we naturally look at talent at the beginning. But when we reach Xuanxian, it's not just talent. We also look at luck and merit."
"If there are many merits, there will naturally be no disadvantages, and all the great ways of heaven and earth can be understood at will. There is a famous great power in the immortal world. My ancestor of the Mu family once said that this senior is the Golden Immortal of Fortune, who is born with great merits and virtues to protect the body.
, difficulties will not come upon you, calamity will not come upon you, even the Immortal Emperor cannot compare with you."
"And luck is related to what kind of cultivation level you will reach in the future. If your luck is low, it will be difficult to make progress in cultivation and it will be difficult to make further progress."
Mu Qing explained it easily.
When Hong Ming heard this, his body trembled.
"The aura that descends from heaven and earth after killing the wild beast should be the aura of disaster, which can consume luck and merit."
As a Xuanxian, Mu Qing may not know the secrets involved.
But Hong Ming saw through the essence and became clearer.
"Thank you for your advice, senior. I wonder what the difference is between these three sects?"
Hong Ming pondered for a moment and expressed his doubts.
Mu Qing explained the differences between the three sects again before saying: "Actually, Fellow Daoist Hong is very powerful in body training. If you are in the body training lineage, it would be more appropriate to join the Canglong Sect."
Hong Ming is physically powerful and a genius in the lower world, and many people in Wuyang Town know this.
Among the three sects, Jingxinyuan is dominated by female cultivators.
The Canglong Sect is good at body refining and has many dragon bloodlines. Even countless years ago, a dragon great master came to sit and talk about the Tao, leaving behind the dragon blood essence.
As for Ming Dao Sect, it has the fewest disciples, likes to devote itself most to cultivation, and is also the least famous.
Hong Ming thought for a while and said:
"Senior, I still prefer Ming Daozong."
"Well, that's fine. Three hundred years from now, there will be a group of people from Wuyang Town going to the Ming Dao Sect. You can just go with them." Mu Qing said in a scornful tone.
Hong Ming nodded and left after a while.
After Hong Ming left, Mu Qing's expression became ugly:
"Humph, you are really ignorant. I am not willing to let you join the Canglong Sect. If you don't have some luck and talent, my Mu family will still look down on you."
In and out of Mu Qing's words, he was inviting Hong Ming to join Mu's family.
It is actually not difficult for people with foreign surnames to join the family.
At least there are many people who have ascended into the Mu family's influence.
Mu Qing's idea is simpler. Not hunting wild beasts represents a certain degree of luck. How can ordinary monks understand this and sense something wrong and stop hunting monsters?
There is no difference between the beast's luck and merit.
However, there is no way to force this matter.
…
Return to the cave.
Hong Ming continued to refine elixirs.
This time when he went out, Hong Ming not only offended people, but also learned about the strange laws in this fairy world.
"It's not so easy to see luck and merit. I really don't know why the monks in this immortal world use things to make judgments. Is it true that low luck and weak merit cannot cultivate into a golden immortal?"
Hong Ming felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
There are indeed some coincidences in things in this world.
For example, the Sun and Moon Gourd.
Now that Hong Ming thinks about it, he was really lucky to have met him back then.
But on the deserted island of the Luoxing Islands in the Sifang Realm, Hong Ming may not be the first creature to get the sun and moon gourd. At least the armored crocodile has gotten it before. If the armored crocodile had been more careful, he would not go to the beach to bask in the sun and concentrate on
If you practice cultivation, your achievements will definitely be high in the future.
If Hong Ming hadn't taken a second look, Hong Ming wouldn't have gotten the Sun and Moon Gourd.
Later, during his cultivation, he went through many hardships, and Hong Ming was able to reach where he is today step by step.
It’s too difficult to explain solely by luck.
Ignoring his luck, Hong Ming continued to refine elixirs.
Three years later.
The fire above the alchemy furnace shone brightly, and a bright light appeared. Hong Ming waved his hand to take it off.
This elixir shines with aqua-blue light, and the surrounding runes of heaven and earth complement each other, forming a blue curtain, which looks dazzling and extraordinary.
A first-grade high-quality elixir!
"It's finally done!"
Hong Ming's eyes lit up. After spending so much energy, the elixir was finally ready.
If Hong Ming had not accumulated enough elixirs in the wild world before, this elixir would not have been successfully refined.
The refining was successful and the first step was taken. Hong Ming finally felt relieved.
"This method of melting the elixir is quite strange. Speaking of it, it is not just as simple as fusing the elixir. At the moment of melting the elixir, the water-attributed profound energy of heaven and earth and the runes of heaven and earth are condensed into the elixir.
"
Hong Ming refined the elixir and had a different understanding.
This top-grade elixir doesn't look like it was refined.
It's more like heaven and earth condensed by chance.
As an alchemist, Hong Ming only plays a supporting role.
This feels very strange.
"No wonder no one in the lower world can refine the high-grade elixir. The vision and technique of refining the elixir alone are far behind. This high-grade elixir should be said to be the elixir of heaven and earth."
Hong Ming sighed softly, picked up the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp.
