Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 233 Farewell, the Path of Qi Refining

"What kind of Qi training method is this? Did you get sleepy and become stupid?"

A trace of anger surged on the child's face: "You sleep until noon every day. Did you do your morning lesson today? Be careful or Uncle Yi will spank you!"

Nie Longhu didn't want to argue with a child. He searched the fragmentary memories in his mind and found some clues of Qi refining method.

"Drawing the Yin and Yang Qi, transforming spiritually for a hundred days, shaping jade bones, building a Taoist fetus, gathering golden elixir, and refining the primordial spirit..."

A trace of solemnity involuntarily flashed across Nie Longhu's face.

This is not some superficial breathing method, it is a serious method of refining Qi, it is the great way to heaven!

Who is so bold as to spread the Dharma to the world without fear of the consequences?
If one accidentally stimulates the Heavenly Way and brings about a killing calamity against the Qi-refining practitioner, this world will be completely ruined for the Qi-refining practitioner.

By then, the great world will be blocked by its boundary wall, and there will be no room for incarnation to experience disasters.

Nie Longhu pursed his lips, his eyes full of doubt. He immediately turned around and left, starting to explore the tribe in front of him.

The memory fragments he obtained when he incarnated were very messy and he couldn't sort out any useful information. He needed some investigation to understand the cause and effect.

"Zhengchu Daojun..."

"Weapon casting techniques, formation techniques, alchemy techniques..."

After traveling around the entire Songhe tribe, Nie Longhu learned a lot of information about Zhengchu Daojun, and his heart became more heavy.

With so many auxiliary methods of cultivation, it doesn't seem like they are teaching the Dharma, but more like they are trying to change the world. Is a certain branch of Taoism going to take action against the Chaos Sea? Is this world one of the outposts?

While thinking, he stopped in front of an altar.

A statue over three meters tall stands on the altar, wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe, with the outlines of its facial features clearly visible.

"This face..."

Looking at the familiar face of the statue, Nie Longhu fell into deep thought.

After staring at the statue for a long while, he gradually came to his senses and remembered a person he was reluctant to associate with:
"Chu Zheng?!"

…………

…………

The moment Nie Longhu opened his mouth, Chu Zheng, who was far away in the ancestral land of the Yan family, suddenly felt a flash of thunder and lightning in his heart, and the power of faith around him began to boil.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a chill ran through his heart. Someone in this world actually called him by his real name? !

The true name of a deity is of self-evident importance to a worshipping deity. To be summoned by his golden body, he must perform miracles. If his real body is not far away, he may even have to go there in person.

What puzzled Chu Zheng was how could there be someone in this world who knew him and even called out his real name to his statue?

Chu Zheng concentrated and sensed carefully, and soon found the location of the golden body.

A gleam of light flashed in the statue's pupils, and it saw a three-year-old boy standing before the statue.

[Nie Longhu (Level 0/Level 8): Bone age three, a celestial immortal who has transcended tribulation, his wisdom has awakened. (Details)]

Chu Zheng did not click on the detailed information. He was full of surprise. He did not expect that he and Nie Longhu had a deep connection and they met again this time.

But this time, he came a little earlier. Now he has reached the stage of refining the spirit, while Nie Longhu has not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.

Chu Zheng withdrew his mind and stood up without any hesitation, rushing to the direction where Nie Longhu was.

In the art of refining Qi, Nie Longhu was much stronger than him, and he still had many questions he wanted to ask. Last time in the Tianyao Federation, it happened suddenly, and he did not have time to ask many questions in detail.

Moreover, in the current situation, Nie Longhu might have a better solution.

In order to reach the tribe faster, Chu Zheng directly asked a totem monk at the peak level to help him.

A moment later, he arrived in front of the statue.

At this moment, Nie Longhu was still in a daze and had not come back to his senses at all.

"Brother Nie, long time no see." Chu Zheng clasped his fists and bowed.

Including the time when the Divine Court was going through tribulations, he and Nie Longhu had actually not seen each other for over a hundred years. At this moment, he still felt a bit like meeting an old friend again.

"why is it you again?!"

Nie Longhu came back to his senses and looked at Chu Zheng in front of him, his face instantly turned green.

To him, the Tianyao Federation was only a thing of several years ago, and just thinking about it now made him feel unlucky.

When he saw Chu Zheng again, he felt that he had made a mistake by not calculating the good and bad luck before going through the tribulation.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I am very relieved to see that you are still alive. Please join me for a drink and chat!"

Chu Zheng didn't care about Nie Longhu's obvious reaction of not wanting to see him. He laughed, reached out and grabbed Nie Longhu, and ran straight to the ancestral land of the Yan family.

…………

…………

The moonlight is bright, and the dark curtain is dotted with stars, like candlelight hidden in a sea of ​​​​gauze, like a dream.

Inside the bluestone hall, a table was laid out with the flesh and blood of wild beasts in a basin, and nectar made from spiritual fruits, which was steaming with spiritual mist and emitting an alluring sweet fragrance.

Nie Longhu sat on the chair with a tense face. He was not tall enough and could barely stick half of his head out above the table. There was a look of depression in his eyes.

The moment he saw Chu Zheng, he already had a premonition of his own ending. This time, he was going through the tribulation and was afraid that it would end hastily again.

When he was at the Jindan stage, Chu Zheng was already able to provoke people at the Xuanxian level. Now that his cultivation is even better than before, the people he provokes will only become more difficult to deal with.

"Brother Nie Dao, you seem to be in a bad mood? We are friends for life and death, so if you have anything to say, you can speak frankly."

Chu Zheng drank a cup of spirit wine and got straight to the point: "I've run into some troubles and I'm worried that I don't have anyone to discuss it with. Brother Dao's coming here can help me out of my urgent need."

"You have transformed yourself into an incarnation and experienced many tribulations. Why are you preaching in this world?"

Nie Longhu's mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath and said, "You are really too brave."

"What do you mean?" Chu Zheng was slightly stunned.

"How did you get on the path of worshipping gods and offering sacrifices to the gods?!" Nie Longhu felt grief-stricken, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Chu Zheng.

After following Chu Zheng in the Tianyao Federation for decades, he could see that Chu Zheng had extraordinary talent and a high level of comprehension that was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Because of this, if the path goes smoothly, Chu Zheng will have extremely high achievements in the Qi refining lineage, and it is not impossible for it to become a Xuanxian or even a Jinxian.

However, now that Chu Zheng has taken the path of worshipping incense and gods, the situation is different again.

"When I was saving the world from disaster last time, I accidentally discovered the way to become a god through incense." Chu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Is this way not possible? I hope you can teach me."

"With your talent, you can just proceed step by step. Why take the risk of taking such a shortcut?"

Nie Longhu's face was full of complexities at the moment. He didn't know whether to sigh that the ignorant were fearless, or to say that Chu Zheng was daydreaming:

"With such a huge amount of willpower, your soul will definitely not be pure enough after you return to the void. How can you achieve harmony with the Tao?"

"The purpose of the Qi-refining lineage is to minimize the karma that comes with it. You become a god and protect your followers. There are billions of karmas. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? You're wasting your energy in vain?"

"Now, not only are you preaching in this world, you are even creating a golden statue and taking the path of becoming a god through worship. This is tantamount to destroying your own path. How can you achieve great things if you are so eager for quick success?!"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but frowned and asked subconsciously:

"Isn't Daozu also a person with millions of golden bodies? Why isn't he afraid of karma? According to what Daoist brother said, what's the point of him having so many golden bodies?"

Hearing this, Nie Longhu was speechless for a moment. He was just a celestial being, which was far from the realm of Daozu. How could he interfere in Daozu's affairs?

After a long silence, he sighed softly, "All sentient beings who worship the Taoist's golden body see their own true form. What effect does this have on the Taoist? Can you compare with the Taoist?"

In the entire Taoism, there is only one Taoist ancestor like this.

The practice of burning incense to become a god is extremely harmful to the Qi-refining school, and Nie Longhu can guarantee this.

Chu Zheng fell into deep thought. All along, he had not noticed anything wrong with the practice of burning incense to become a god. His spiritual cultivation had been growing steadily, and he had not sensed any impurities.

If he had not been nourished by the power of incense and vows, his current level of cultivation might not even be enough to achieve divine transformation.

As Nie Longhu said, this is a real shortcut, but it is also full of risks and may hinder one's future.

But now that it has come to this, Chu Zheng cannot completely abandon the way of incense and gods just because of Nie Longhu's words. This would be going back to the old ways.

He will find a solution, but before that, he must follow the original plan and swallow up all the beliefs of the Dongyuan human race.

If he could accomplish this, he would be able to complete the Nine Transformations of the Divine Infant in a very short period of time and enter the secret realm of Tongxuan and even the Immortal Tribulation.

When that happens, it won’t be too late for him to decide on a way out.

The example of Zhao Tingxian is still before our eyes, which is enough to prove that in order to become a god through incense, it is not impossible to practice, but one must master some methods.

What he needs most now is to improve his cultivation faster so that he can be more proactive and prepare to leave the Cang Yun Realm.

"Brother Nie, let's talk about these things later. Today, I do have something that I would like to ask for your help."

Chu Zheng brought the topic back and looked out of the hall: "Please come in, all three of you."

Three figures appeared outside the hall and walked slowly into the hall. They were the leaders of the three clans.

Looking at the three people who came in together, Nie Longhu's heart sank. The cultivation levels of these three people were not much inferior to his own, and they were at the peak of the celestial immortals.

If he goes one step further, he will become a powerful person comparable to the Xuanxian. He is still a long way from that level.

However, whether he can take this step is still an unknown. He has been wandering at this juncture for a long time and still has not found the way.

"Brother Nie Dao has just awakened from his old wisdom, and I'm afraid he doesn't quite understand the current situation of the Dongyuan human race. Allow me to explain a little."

Chu Zheng stood up and introduced the identities of Wan Qiong and the other two to Nie Longhu, and then briefly explained the current situation.

"Your idea is a little too naive."

After listening to Chu Zheng's words, Nie Longhu shook his head and looked towards Shanxun, his eyes without any emotion:

"Your idea of ​​setting up a large formation to forcibly gather the moonlight and turn it into Yin Qi to help her break through is not wrong. Under normal circumstances, there is even a high probability of success, but you forgot to consider the existence of the Heavenly Dao."

"The way of heaven?"

Hearing the word "Heaven's Way", Chu Zheng's heart moved. He had noticed the changes in destiny before, but he was not quite sure the reason.

"This world has its limits. You can't reach that realm just because you want to. If the Heavenly Dao doesn't loosen the shackles, the creatures in this world will never have the chance to ascend."

As soon as Nie Longhu finished speaking, the faces of the leaders of the three clans changed at the same time.

"How is this possible?!" Shan Xun was speechless for a moment.

"If the heavens do not allow us to advance, then we can only wait for death?!"

There was a hint of bloodshot in Yan Bi's eyes. He really couldn't imagine that the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time was actually because of the world before his eyes.

"Why are you dissatisfied?"

Nie Longhu glanced at the three people and said in surprise: "Although there are shackles in this world before us, I have never taken the initiative to hurt you in the slightest."

"How difficult is the path of cultivation? One has to go through nine tribulations, eighty-one heavenly thunders, before one has the chance to ascend to immortality. After ascending to immortality, one will be haunted by the five elements, yin and yang, and other life and death tribulations. It can be said that every step is like walking on thin ice."

"This is especially true for the Qi-refining lineage. Natural disasters and man-made calamities are constant. The heavens want to kill us, and we will never die. We must be diligent every day and not relax for a moment. If we make a mistake, we will die and there will be no chance to start over."

"When you are born, you only need to carve the totem, and you don't have to worry about practicing. As you grow older, becoming an immortal will be as easy as eating and drinking. Isn't that enough?"

"How lucky I am to have come this far without being entangled by the calamity energy!!"

Nie Longhu sighed: "You three were born to be the darlings of heaven and earth, destined to stand at the top of the world. This world has given you enough grace."

The three of them all fell into silence involuntarily. They were indeed born to be favored children. The halo of being a genius has been with them since childhood until today.

But this does not mean that they will be satisfied with this.

"According to what you said, should the Dongyuan people wait for death?" Wan Qiong sneered, "I should even thank God?"

"That's not necessary."

Nie Longhu waved his hand and said, "The Dongyuan human race has survived until now, and will naturally continue to survive in the future. It's just a little turbulent now."

"What about that white tiger?" Chu Zheng asked in confusion, "Its power seems to have exceeded the limit of this world. Clan leader Wan is already a top master in this world. Even with the clan's secret treasure, he still has no power to fight back against it."

If it weren't for the Beast King, the current situation would definitely not be so bad.

"After listening to what you just said, I can understand a little bit about your idea of ​​preaching, but I still say that you think things are too simple."

Nie Longhu said indifferently: "Why do you think the white tiger has been sleeping for several years and has not woken up yet? Even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, it will not be able to cross that barrier, and will eventually have no choice but to become a Taoist."

"Its power has reached the limit of this world. Who knows when it will fall into deep sleep and never wake up again."

Nie Longhu glanced at the people in front of him and said calmly: "You take your positions too seriously. How can you, just a few of you, interfere with the rise and fall of a clan in a large world?"

"We are just a bunch of ants, how can we guess the will of the heaven? As long as the heaven is not dead, the Dongyuan human race will not perish in this battle, and the wild beasts will not be destroyed."
