Too much fruit

Chapter 931: Yuqing Secret, Tianzun's Life and Death

On the other side, Jiang Li withdrew his mind and looked pleased.

"Master Taibai has accepted the challenge. Now..." He looked at the Taoist priest in green robe who had already arrived, "it's up to Senior Brother Guangcheng."

Taoist Guangcheng had indeed left Yuxu Temple long ago, but because he wanted to see if Jiang Li's plan could come true, he had not shown up and was staying outside Jingzhou temporarily.

Yin Tulong used the Wind Fire Wheel to speed like a lightning, and with the help of the Earth-flying Golden Light Technique, he left Jingzhou in a short time, met Taoist Guangcheng, and informed Jiang Li of his decision. Taoist Guangcheng got the answer he wanted, and no longer hesitated, and immediately came to see Jiang Li, and when he arrived, he listened to Jiang Li's words and sent out that sword light.

Hearing Jiang Li address him as "Senior Brother", Taoist Guangcheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Leave it to me. Let's see who will be the best in this sword fight."

"Brother Guangcheng, what are the chances of winning?" Jiang Li asked.

Although he had already seen that Master Taibai had mental obstacles and the sharp sword force was weakening, in terms of apparent strength, Taoist Guangcheng actually had the upper hand, but a fight was never just about strength on paper, and it was not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong.

According to Jiang Li's calculations, it is not impossible for Master Taibai to win.

So, we still have to ask the person involved what he thinks.

"If you want to ask me what my chances of winning are, I can only give you one answer: 100%."

Taoist Guangcheng gave a very sword-cultivating answer, and then suddenly changed the subject, saying: "But if Junior Brother Jiang is willing to listen to my teachings for a few days, my chances of winning may increase to 120%."

When Jiang Li heard the latter sentence, he was stunned at first, and realized that Taoist Guangcheng's Taoism fruit was indeed a little short of perfection and had not been fully integrated.

This teaching is actually the cause and effect of the entire Imperial Master, which makes the Tao fruit complete.

Taoist Guangcheng's words were undoubtedly meant to establish a deeper trust relationship. At the same time, this statement represented his full confidence. Before the battle, he did not calm down, but instead wanted to discuss the Dao with Jiang Li.

This is actually a kind of preparation. Master Taibai knows that he has already developed mental obstacles and needs to calm down to suppress them. Taoist Guangcheng is the opposite. He has an uplifting state of mind and does not need to calm it down. Instead, he needs to let it rise even more.

But at the end of the words, Taoist Guangcheng gave him another look.

Jiang Li: "······"

The amazing wisdom in his brain started to work, and the heart of the wise man reflected the surrounding scene, and Jiang Li discovered the blind spot.

He suddenly realized that the things happening in his family seemed to have spread widely. Now even Taoist Guangcheng knew that there was discord in Jiang's backyard and wanted to cover for him.

Before Yin Tulong went to find Taoist Guangcheng, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Jiang Li wanted Yin Tulong to break the atmosphere, but Yin Tulong was even worse than Monkey King who only liked to eat peaches, and he didn't notice it at all.

However, Yin Tulong did break the slightly awkward atmosphere later on, which was considered to be a help to Jiang Li.

Because Yin Tulong himself had no awareness of this, Jiang Li thought that he didn't know that there was a fire in his backyard, but now Taoist Guangcheng knew the inside story. However, Taoist Guangcheng had lived in Kunxu for a long time and shouldn't know this.

So the question is, how did he know?
Answer: Yin Tulong said so.

Although Yin Tulong could not sense the subtle atmosphere, he actually knew the inside story. He could not see the situation, but he knew the situation a long time ago.

Then, Yin Tulong informed Taoist Guangcheng of the relevant situation and asked him to be careful. Taoist Guangcheng was experienced and after hearing the previous conversation from Yin Tulong, he realized that his new junior brother was in a bad situation, so he offered a helping hand out of sympathy.

The question arises again, how did Yin Tulong know the situation?
Jiang Li already had the answer in his mind, and he immediately locked onto a monkey that was infected with the plague.

"This monkey, could it be that he is still holding a grudge and spreading rumors to slander me?" Jiang Li thought.

The Monkey King, wouldn't do such a thing...right?

Then Jiang Li thought of the monkey's many actions. When he got into his sister-in-law's belly, he was actually imitating the monkey.

"Okay, this time I have to bet against the monkey and I can't lose."

Jiang Li's mind was determined to win, and then he looked at Taoist Guangcheng and nodded slowly, "That's what I wish for. I also want to ask you about the method of refining the real into the virtual."

Although Jiang Li felt helpless about Taoist Guangcheng believing in the rumors, he was still willing to accept Brother Guangcheng's kindness, deepen their friendship, and help Taoist Guangcheng win.

When Tianxuan heard Jiang Li agree to this, a fierce look appeared between his brows, while Yu Shi Yuanjun's expression relaxed a little.

Although Tianxuan was willing to let this matter go for the time being, Jiang Li had to be tortured. Now, Jiang Li had to talk about Falun Dao with Taoist Guangcheng, so he had no free time to be alone with Tianxuan or others.

So, Jiang Li started to talk about Taoism and teach Taoist Guangcheng beside the Thunder Pond.

Since this involved the fundamental skills of Yuxu Temple, Tianxuan, Gongsun Qingyue, Yu Shi Yuanjun and the eldest princess each found excuses to either reorganize their troops or be on guard against the enemy, and left one after another.

The remaining Yin Tulong did not want to disturb Taoist Guangcheng and Jiang Li. After all, this was about the outcome of the sword fight, so he simply rode on his Wind Fire Wheels and left.

Just looking at the direction he was walking, it seemed to be where Monkey King was now.

This young Taoist has been getting along with Monkey King for many days, so they seem to be getting along well with each other?

Jiang Li separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to pay attention to Yin Tulong's whereabouts, while secretly locking onto the area where Monkey King was.

"It's a pity that the monkey is one of the four monkeys who are in trouble and cannot be predicted. Otherwise, I would definitely dig up his past and even know whether his monkey butt is red or white."

Jiang Li secretly raged at the slanderer, but on the surface he sat down calmly. A light white cloud appeared automatically, supporting him to rise. Then Jiang Li sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Brother Guangcheng."

He called him "Senior Brother" sincerely, because when something happened, he would really help. He was much better than his own senior brothers, such as Ling Wujue who died in his hands, and his eldest senior brother who died in his hands.

Taoist Guangcheng on the other side shook his head slightly and said, "I can only help you up to this point."

As a Quanzhen Taoist, it is better not to get too involved in Jiang Li's family affairs. After all, the people in Jiang Li's family are not easy to mess with. So, Taoist Guangcheng changed the topic very smoothly and said, "To be honest, my realm is not as good as that of Junior Brother Jiang. In this lecture, Junior Brother Jiang should be explaining the Taoism to me."

Speaking of this, the Taoist couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He still remembered that Jiang Li had survived the three disasters and was promoted to the fourth rank under his watch. Now it was Jiang Li who was ahead.

Although it is said that there is no order of learning and those who achieve success are first, and there is no stipulation that those who learn first will always be in the front, it seems that those who achieve success have achieved success too quickly.

"Brother Guangcheng, you are too kind. I am only fast in my realm, but I am not as good as you in other aspects."

Jiang Li said, gently waving his hand, and the crimson starlight rose up, and a large flag emerged from it. "The method of refining the real into the virtual in this temple can refine the real into the virtual. Junior brother, I have been trying to improve this method recently, but it is difficult to achieve results."

The method of refining the real into the virtual is the unique skill of Yuxu Temple. It is to refine the magic weapon into a virtual form, merge it with the qi, and become one with oneself. Afterwards, the virtual form can be transformed into a solid entity and truly be used for one's own benefit.

Yuxu Temple can even combine the corresponding magical instruments and the magical powers contained in the Dao Fruit to reproduce those magical instruments that have been destroyed in the Dharma Ending Age. For example, Yin Tulong's Hun Tian Ling, Qian Kun Circle, and Fire Spear all came in this way.

Although Jiang Li didn't know whether the Zhuxian Sword was destroyed in the Dharma Ending Age, judging from Taoist Guangcheng's intention, he seemed to be planning to use this method to revive the Zhuxian Sword.

It just so happened that Jiang Li was now also pondering the method of Tai Shi's Dao. The process of reversing Tai Su and transforming it into Tai Shi was also a way of refining the real into the virtual. The two could be said to be different paths leading to the same destination. Jiang Li naturally wanted to get some inspiration from it and apply it to other situations.

It's just that it's not easy to tell this to Taoist Guangcheng. Jiang Li won't easily reveal this as it concerns his foundation.

The reason he found was indeed very suitable. Taoist Guangcheng did not doubt him and believed it directly. This was Jiang Li's goal...

“Junior Brother Jiang, even in the Yuqing Taoist tradition inherited by our sect, there has never been an example of refining a dangerous weapon like the Chiyou Flag throughout the generations.” Taoist Guangcheng said with a wry smile.

Before the Dharma Ending Age, the method of refining the real into the virtual was also popular in the Yuqing Taoist school, but most people at that time used it to refine magical instruments, unlike now when its main purpose is to produce some kind of magical weapon.

However, even when the Yuqing Taoist sect was at its peak, there should be no one who could refine a weapon of the same level as the Chiyou Flag, right?

The Dao Fruits left by the former Twelve Golden Immortals were only of the third grade, while Chi You's Dao Fruits were of the second grade. Even if they were given the Chi You Flag to refine, they would not be able to do so.

"Really?" Jiang Li asked.

The ancestors of the Yuqing Taoist lineage were very wealthy. Although the flag of Chiyou was powerful, before the end of the law, although the number of soldiers was not as large as that of Chiyou, it was definitely not lacking. At least the Yuqing Taoist lineage was definitely equal to or even superior to Chiyou.

However, there are also beings stronger than Chi You.

“Maybe… maybe.”

Taoist Guangcheng pondered carefully and said uncertainly: "Maybe my sect's founder, the Taoist Tianzun, has it. Otherwise, my sect should have passed down magic weapons related to Tianzun."

"Hmm?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, "Tell me in detail."

Taoist Guangcheng pondered for a while, then said: "Junior Brother Jiang, you also know the effect of refining the real into the virtual. It can make the master of the weapon and the magic weapon become one, and even complement each other as the cultivation level improves or the level of the magic weapon increases. However, it is precisely because of this that once the master of the weapon dies, the magic weapon will also be destroyed. That is why, although my sect is passed down from the Taoist origin before the end of the law and has a deep foundation, we don’t have many Taoist weapons."

If the owner of the weapon dies, the weapon will be destroyed. The great figures of the Yuqing Dao Sect all died in the last days of the Dharma, so their weapons are almost gone. Although there are some artifacts that cannot be refined, such as the Whip, there are not many such things.

Now Jiang Li could understand why Yuxu Temple used statues to carry the fruits of the Tao and worship them.

Because there are basically no carriers suitable for carrying Tao fruits.

It is easy to find a carrier for Dao Fruit, but it is hard to find a carrier that can exert the power of Dao Fruit. Low-grade ones are fine, but for high-grade Dao Fruit to exert its power, the requirements are not small.

The most suitable carrier is naturally the thing used by the original owner of the Dao Fruit, such as the plain cloud flag to the Queen Mother of the West Dao Fruit, or the Xuanyuan Sword to the Yellow Emperor Dao Fruit...
The predecessors of the Yuqing Daoist school used the method of refining the real to become the virtual to sacrifice their own magic tools. When they died, the tools were destroyed, which was a big pitfall for the descendants. However, even so, the foundation left behind still supports the Yuxu Temple to stand at the top of the world, which shows how rich its family background is.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Jiang Li's mind, and then an idea that shocked Jiang Li emerged.

"Brother Guangcheng means that... Yuanshi Tianzun's magic weapons are all destroyed?" Jiang Li could not hide his regret.

Taoist Guangcheng's meaning was very clear, that is, Yuanshi Tianzun might have done what Jiang Li wanted to do, which was to refine the magic weapons of the same level or even higher than the Chiyou Flag, but once Tianzun died, all these things were gone.

This made Jiang Li feel extremely regretful.

He thought that by joining Yuxu Temple, he might have a chance to obtain those legendary treasures, such as Pangu Banner, but Taoist Guangcheng said that they were all gone...

"I am not sure either," Taoist Guangcheng shook his head and said, "It is just that it has not been passed down. I don't know whether it has been damaged. I am not even sure whether the founder Yuanshi Tianzun has died. Although the end of the law is indeed terrifying, the ability of Tianzun is beyond my imagination. I dare not speculate on his life or death. Anyway, none of the ancestors of this sect have seen Tianzun's Dao fruit."

Even if one reaches the third level, one still feels far away from the first level, not to mention that before the end of the law, the world has not changed. Before the end of the law, the same realm can recover ten or a hundred times the strength.

Among the second-grade Dao fruits, there are still true spirits that are still alive after death, but it is hard to say about the first-grade ones.

It is said that when the sky falls, the tallest people will hold it up first. In the Dharma Ending Age, the ones who will suffer the most are the strongest beings. However, because those beings are beyond the ability of ordinary people to judge, it is difficult to say what their situation is like.

The only first-grade Taoist artifact whose whereabouts could be confirmed was the Demon Refining Pot in the hands of the Great Venerable, but judging from the Great Venerable's appearance, it seemed that he could not easily use the Demon Refining Pot. Even Jiang Li did not know whether the Wahuang Dao Fruit in the Demon Refining Pot was intact.

Having said this, Jiang Li and Taoist Guangcheng both fell silent.

Even if one reaches Jiang Li's level, there is still a long distance to reach the true peak.

After a long silence, Taoist Guangcheng was the first to speak, breaking the silence, saying: "But it is not impossible for Junior Brother Jiang to refine the Chiyou Flag. Although I don't know how to help Junior Brother Jiang refine this precious weapon, I can still help you in refining the real into the virtual."

“After refining the real into the virtual, there is refining the virtual into the real. There is a very profound method of refining the virtual into the real recorded in our sect. It can condense the three treasures of man and the three treasures of heaven and earth into reality and transform them into magic weapons. Its name is—”

"Three Treasures Jade Ruyi."
