Taoist Qingsong and Qi Wen stared blankly at the light in the main hall of their own Taoist temple. From the kitchen door, they could clearly see that the stars on the star flag in the temple were also twinkling.
As a most traditional Taoist temple that does not worship any gods but only the stars in the sky, the changes in the star flags have the same meaning to the two Taoists as the Buddhist monks seeing the Buddha's light shining from the statue of the Vajra King in the temple. They are deeply moved.
Watching the stars on the star flag flashing with light little by little, and finally all the brilliance converged into the star flag, returning to the shape of the large black cloth that had been hanging in the temple for many years, Qi Xuan and Qi Wen knew that there were definitely extraordinary changes.
"Master, do we have a chance to become immortals?"
Although Qi Wen did not understand the way of cultivating immortals, it was very clear to him whether the current situation was a blessing or a disaster.
Taoist Qingsong was also somewhat excited in a trance, but he restrained himself and did not express it. Even though Taoists have their own beliefs and would not pester Ji Yuan to learn to be immortal, who doesn't want to learn the miraculous way of cultivation, and who doesn't desire the art of longevity
And what Mr. Ji is doing now is probably not as simple as leading the Taoists of Yunshan Temple to practice. This is not only the feeling of Taoist Qingsong as a fortune teller, but he also had this vague intuition after Mr. Qin came.
But Taoist Qingsong never said anything and never asked too many questions. Such masters have their own reasons for doing things, and the right attitude is to let nature take its course.
"I've said it before, some things can't be forced and don't need to be forced. It's best to make good connections. You see..."
Taoist Qingsong stopped talking because Ji Yuan had already landed in front of the star flag in the hall and walked out of the hall again to look towards the kitchen.
"You two Taoist priests, don't worry about whether I will make you deviate from the Taoist teachings. I have not used the techniques of any immortal palace to restrict Yunshan Temple. This star flag is still the star flag of Yunshan Temple. As for the way of cultivation, it is naturally the Taoist method of Yunshan Temple, which values the stars and respects the heaven and earth."
As if understanding the two Taoists' doubts, Ji Yuan's voice sounded faintly in the ears of Qi Xuan and Qi Wen.
"The Daoist method? Uh..."
Taoist Qingsong repeated subconsciously that he and Qi Wen had practiced the Yunshan Taoist method morning and evening for so many years, so he certainly knew whether it was useful or not. It was mostly symbolic in psychological sense.
"Yes, but it is not the Yunshan Taoist meditation of the past. Please prepare your lunch. Later, Ji and Qin Gong will explain it to you in detail. If you don't want to, you can just ask directly."
Although the two Taoists seemed to understand, since Ji Yuan said so, they did not ask any more questions. After bowing and thanking him, they went back to prepare lunch with a little excitement in their hearts.
As for whether they would be unwilling? Taoist Qingsong and Taoist Qingyuan are not really stupid!
Today's lunch was very sumptuous by Yunshan Temple's standards, with fish, meat, fresh vegetables, and delicious mountain mushroom soup.
When it was time to eat, Ji Yuan specifically asked for two small bowls, took some of the fish and pork made by Taoist Qingsong and put them in the two bowls respectively, and then placed them on the ground outside the kitchen. Then he ate in the kitchen with a few others.
After a while, the two little minks kept testing in nervousness and hesitation. They were smart and knew very well that the gentleman in white shirt in the house brought the bowl to give food to the two little minks. But knowing is one thing and being at ease is another.
But in the end, the two martens finally couldn't resist the temptation, jumped off the wall and started eating the food in the bowl. This was also the first time for the two little martens to eat cooked food.
In the history from the beginning of its establishment to the present day, the Taoist temple is the most turbulent today. Although it still stands quietly on the Yanxia Peak, the Taoists of Yunshan Temple have ushered in a turning point in their destiny.
Ji Yuan personally explained to Qi Xuan and Qi Wen several current paths of cultivation, talked about the acupoints throughout the body and the way of heaven and earth within the body, talked about the five elements of heaven and earth and yin and yang in the sense of cultivation, the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of all kinds of wonderful methods and magical powers, and then talked about the extremely special power of stars with Qin Zizhou.
If the foundation of cultivation in ordinary immortal palaces and sects, no matter whether it is mysterious or ordinary, is actually based on various Qi-guiding techniques and Qi-training techniques, then what Ji Yuan is talking about in Yunshan Temple at this moment is a completely new foundation.
As an important virtual child in Ji Yuan's hands, Qin Zizhou has been facing major changes in recent years. Ji Yuan can empathize with him and to some extent understand his comprehension and understanding of the Taoist stars as a divine yang body.
For some things that are hard to understand, just discussing them with each other while sitting together in the sun during the day is enough to support the explanation after lunch today.
Combining the Qi Guiding Technique that Ji Yuan had pondered countless times, and adding the Yunshan Taoist method of star visualization that seemed useless, a new "The Creation of Heaven and Earth" took shape.
This can no longer be considered a Qi Guiding Technique. To be precise, it can be considered a Qi Guiding and Star Connecting Method. Although it is far from complete now, it is enough for Qi Xuan and Qi Wen to get started.
Ji Yuan is also a human being and has selfish desires, so this new "The Creation of Heaven and Earth" is actually mixed with a lot of his own personal understanding and values, but he also attaches great importance to this work of revising the classics.
Not only is he planning to incorporate the method of reversing fortune into it, he even wants to incorporate the starry images of the chess pieces in the artistic conception of mountains and rivers into it in an inspiring way.
The most crucial link in the entire theoretical system supporting Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou is the "Magical Method of the Transformation of Positive and Negative Heaven and Earth" which is a special method of guiding qi and connecting stars.
The correct practice is to draw in the Qi to connect with the star power, and with the practice of techniques, one can eventually cultivate stars in the acupoints throughout the body and even in the artistic conception.
Bad luck has little impact on spiritual energy, and it cannot show special divine will like Ji Yuan's because there is already heaven and earth in the artistic conception, but it is enough to help people make the stars inside and outside the body resonate when casting spells.
As for what miraculous changes will occur, Ji Yuan doesn’t know yet. His initial guess is that the power of spiritual magic will be enhanced, and it will also be helpful for enlightenment.
Apart from the Qi-guiding and star-connecting technique, the Qi-training technique, which is more important to immortal cultivators in other immortal palaces or practitioners of various sects, is not very important in Ji Yuan's system. Although it is already very different from the original "Jade Armpit Small Training", the Qi-training technique named "Heaven and Earth Small Training" is not essentially better than the former.
It's just to match the new "The Transformation of Heaven and Earth". Even the name was taken over by Ji Yuan because he was too lazy to think of it. Even if "The Small Training of Heaven and Earth" is completely lost in the future, the younger generations can find any Qi training method to practice it, but the efficiency will be miserable.
Of course, all this is still a long way off for Qi Xuan and Qi Wen. There is enough time for Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou to organize what they have in mind into a complete cultivation system.
To be honest, the ultimate beneficiary of all this is not only the Taoists of Yunshan Temple, but Ji Yuan himself as well. On the contrary, although Qin Zizhou can also be used, he will definitely be involved in Shintoism in the future, and his proportion will be much smaller.
However, Ji Yuan had no intention of treating Qi Xuan and Qi Wen as guinea pigs. Although their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people due to their spiritual energy, they were still ordinary people after all and could not withstand any hardship.
The real guinea pig is Ji Yuan himself, and of course if you look closely, Qin Zizhou is also considered. Only after Ji Yuan has figured it out and determined it is suitable, can he continue to improve "The Creation of Heaven and Earth" and "Small Training of Heaven and Earth". However, there is no need to tell Qi Xuan and Qi Wen about these. The two Taoists in front of them are thinking about this and that. After all, Ji Yuan is also confident that he can deduce faster than the two of them.
There is no written formula to give you now. When the time comes, Ji Yuan will send this "miraculous method of heaven and earth" to Yunshan Temple according to his own progress.
After lunch, Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou had been explaining to Qi Xuan and Qi Wen, with Ji Yuan being the main speaker. After all, Qin Zizhou was only half-baked in orthodox practice.
When Qi Xuan and Qi Wen came out, they thought it was as simple as Mr. Ji casting a spell to consecrate the star flag in the temple. But later they gradually realized that this was not the star visualization of Yunshan Temple at all. It was simply based on a very small part of it to create a magical method tailor-made for Yunshan Temple.
As Ji Yuan analyzed the matter in detail in words that Qi Wen and Qi Xuan could understand, Qi Wen and Qi Xuan became more and more excited. Until late at night, when the stars in the sky were the brightest, the two of them had involuntarily begun the first step of their practice under Ji Yuan's guidance.
The spiritual energy around Yunshan Temple gradually became thicker, the stars in the sky blinked, and the star flags in the main hall of the temple faintly revealed a divine light, which seemed to echo the light of the stars in the sky.
Faintly, the light of the stars seemed more intense in Yunshan's generation, and Qi Xuan and Qi Wen were vaguely surrounded by spiritual energy in a very short period of time, with a barely detectable starlight on their faces.
Seeing the two of them get into the state so quickly, Qin Zizhou couldn't help but admire them.
"Mr. Ji, it seems that Taoist priests Qingsong and Qingyuan do have some talent. I thought it would take them some time to get started."
"Haha, with many years of star contemplation and morning and evening lessons as a foundation, it can be considered tailor-made. It is not surprising that it has such performance. By the way, this is for the two spirit martens. Lord Qin will keep it for now. When the two martens gradually understand the truth in the future, they will be able to learn it."
Ji Yuan placed a jade stick on the table, with small words densely written on it.
"This is?"
"It is a method of cultivation for immortal beasts. There are three steps in the cultivation of immortal beasts: guidance, transformation and accumulation of methods. Among them, accumulation of methods needs to be compatible with the beast's body. This can only be regarded as the method of guidance and initial transformation. The accumulation of methods is different from the methods that some immortal palaces specially tailor for their own immortal beasts. The spiritual beast or little demon that needs to be cultivated must have a certain degree of control and improvement ability."
"Although it will be quite difficult, it is not necessarily a bad thing. I got this method from Mr. Ying. I hastily modified it once before because of something, and then improved it again. I made it more gentle. After all, how can a small spiritual beast with spiritual intelligence have the physique of a dragon?"
Having said that, Ji Yuan also looked at Qin Zizhou.
"Mr. Qin, I cannot give you all the details. Please bear with me."
In the final analysis, all of this in Yunshan Temple was meant to be a form of institutionalization, but its essence was to pave the way for Qin Zizhou's journey to the world of gods.
Qin Zizhou nodded solemnly and seriously.
"Qin knows the seriousness of the situation!"
The agreement made in front of Ji Yuan, the words "to save all the people and spirits in the world, all sentient beings in the world", are still vivid in Qin Zizhou's mind.
These words themselves carry a lot of weight, but Qin Zizhou now feels that this sentence is not as simple as it sounds. No matter what, one must keep one's word and fulfill one's promise!
