Chapter 220 Giving Gifts
The moonlight fell from the gaps in the trees, mottled and sparse like residual snow.
Lin Bai felt quite emotional when he heard that Zhu Jianyang asked about "Elixir Theory".
The so-called elixir theory is something that must be in line with one's own destiny, one's own experience, and even one's character, which is extremely important to the great road.
When some people see a mountain, they feel that it is too high to climb and are afraid of the difficulty; some people have a broad mind and have the ambition to see the small mountains. In this way, people are classified into high and low, and alchemy theory will be high and low.
Because of this, alchemy is either simple or complex.
And the state of mind is also extremely important. For example, the casual cultivators are far superior to the disciples of the sect in terms of Qi training, foundation building and killing methods.
But once the pill is formed, it will be difficult for casual cultivators who are good at fighting to overcome it. Firstly, there is a lot of killing and running around for a living all day long, which inevitably changes the state of mind; secondly, there is a lack of guidance from virtuous elders, and a bit less free and easy spirit, so it is easy to go astray.
This is why there are very few monks who form elixirs as casual cultivators. But once you can swallow pills into your belly, most of them will be outstanding among people.
As for the children of the sect family, their personalities have been oriented to be tough and free-spirited since they were young. Although their ability to fight is somewhat smaller, their cultivation rarely encounters obstacles.
Although Lin Bai was a casual cultivator, he was also good at fighting and killing, and he entered Taoism very late, but due to fate, he knew about the alchemy theory early.
First, Sister Zhen took the elixir theory in the flesh; then in the Song and Qing Dynasties, she realized the Tao before her death and took life as a long river to achieve the elixir theory; and later, Tiehuasheng struggled to seek the elixir theory, but died on the eve of a thunderstorm.
Later, before his death, Lu Haike, a high-level practitioner of Nascent Soul, reflected on the alchemy theory and said that he had violated his original intention.
I also personally witnessed the difference between Tie Huasheng and Zhu Jianyang’s alchemy theory.
All these are rare insights on the path of spiritual practice. Therefore, since the foundation was laid, Lin Bai had been thinking about it from time to time.
At first, Lin Bai suddenly heard about Song and Qing's elixir theory, and he wanted to imitate it. But as my knowledge grew, I heard Tie Huasheng's Jian Zhuo Ren Zhuo's words, Li Xinghe's comment on Song and Qing Dynasty's elixir theory, and then Lu Haike said that he violated his original intention.
Just like what happened to Lin Bai, if others hear only one of them, someone with a little bit of dexterity will understand it. Lin Bai's repeated encounters and involvements were really dazzling, but he was a little confused about his own intentions.
"I was about to ask for advice." Lin Bai looked at Zhu Jianyang.
This was the first person that Lin Bai met since he came to Qiaoshan.
At that time, this man was sitting in Fengming Pavilion. He had almost given up his thoughts on advancement and only practiced calligraphy and socializing every day.
As their relationship deepened and they encountered Huang Ruhua's incident, the two became close to each other, and Lin Bai was greatly supported by him.
After experiencing the old events in the underground caves and the changes in life and death in Mianlong Mountain, the two of them were really in love with each other.
After Zhu Jianyang experienced everything, his heart towards the Tao became stronger and made rapid progress. Not only did he achieve the theory of elixir, but he also got the golden elixir.
Lin Bai always hoped that his friends would be well, so he was naturally happy.
"There are thousands of natal destinies, and alchemy theories are also different. Even if the natal destinies are similar and the experiences are similar, it is difficult for the alchemy theories to be similar."
Having said this, Zhu Jianyang paused for a moment, then continued: "Although you are young, your experiences are far more colorful than mine."
He stroked his beard and smiled, and then said: "Since I met you, you and I have experienced many lives and deaths. Just now I heard about you in the Wordless Secret Realm, and I knew that you and Qu Chengjia had fallen out, and that you and Fairy Shen Yu had fallen out. The person who has the destiny is old.”
Zhu Jianyang pointed at Miaomiao and said, "This girl has thought of many ways for you to take revenge."
Miaomiao remained silent and tugged on Zhu Jianyang's sleeve, as if embarrassed.
Lin Bai glanced at Miaomiao. If nothing else, this girl was at least really filial.
"From my point of view, since you haven't drawn up the elixir theory yet, you shouldn't be in a hurry at this moment. You need to know that the more you rush, the less likely you will get anything done."
Zhu Jianyang was quite emotional and said: "When discussing matters in Dan, there is no way to be careless. It is better to calm down, think more about the past, and look forward to the future. Stick to your heart, study your destiny, and be in line with yourself. Then make a decision. It’s not too late to talk about elixirs.”
He pointed to the top of Qingyun Mountain and said with a smile: "Miaomiao said that you are favored by the ancestors, and you hang out with Gu Yao every day, and your relationship is also very good. Why not ask her family again, maybe you can get something. . How rich are the two generations of Yuanying? ”
"Master, Patriarch Gu's love for our masters and disciples is like a long river, but our little repayment is just a drop of dew. If we can form elixirs, we can better honor our ancestors, serve our ancestors better, and be able to do things a little better." Repay the great kindness of the ancestor!" Miaomiao was very serious.
What this means is that if you can take care of the Gu family, you must not be soft-hearted.
It's just that she is getting better and better, and I don't know who she learned these shameless and disgusting words from.
There was a fool on the field. Jiang Yu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and Ye Qingmeng also looked at Miaomiao with bright eyes.
Even Gu Wushang sighed and said: "Junior Sister Miaomiao, please don't use such words. We are not outsiders, and it is our duty for our ancestors to shield us from the wind and rain. As for words of repayment, there is no need to say anything. If If we can take a further step towards the great road, the ancestor will definitely be happy.”
Zhu Jianyang just stroked his beard and smiled and said no more.
After chatting for a few more words, Gu Fang rushed over.
Mr. Gu is dead, and the younger members of the Gu family, as well as many vassals, need to pay their respects.
Speaking of which, the Gu family is really miserable.
In the previous episode, Gu Qingshan, the Nascent Soul of the Gu family, died, and then the Golden Pill Gu Jinzhen exploded, and now there is another Golden Pill.
Due to past events, the Gu family has few golden elixirs and is young in building foundations. However, it is somewhat of a sign of indolence, similar to the Zhu family.
It's just that the Gu family is guarded by Nascent Soul, so they just need to take a good rest. After hundreds of years, if he cultivates a few golden elixirs, he will still be the dominant one in Qiaoshan.
The Zhu family, Tian family and Huaqing family had a close relationship with the Gu family, so they came early.
The former Lu Haike died, and the Gu family showed its past humiliation and shocked everyone. At that time, some people wanted to come to congratulate them, but Gu Qingshui was a cold person and seldom visited outsiders. Also, because there were too few talents in the Gu family, he wanted to rest and recuperate, so they all declined.
This time, Mr. Gu was completely dead, and all the subordinates took this opportunity to rush over.
The death of Jin Dan was not a big event, so the etiquette was far less grand than the Nascent Soul Sacrifice, but it was still solemn.
The Gu family has to worry about everything. As soon as Zhu Jianyang came out of seclusion, he was picked up by Gu Fang to help receive the visitors.
"Senior Tian."
When Tian Guiqin, the head of the Tian family, arrived, Lin Bai quickly saluted and gave Miaomiao a flying sword as a gift.
"Come and sit at my house when you have time." Tian Guiqin was very kind, looking at Lin Bai with bright eyes.
Because of the Cangyun Sect incident, Lin Bai and the Tian family also formed a great relationship.
Later, due to the spread of the wordless secret realm, Lin Zhuanlun's name became somewhat famous in Qiaoshan.
Moreover, because of Qu Chengjia's incident, everyone knew that Lin Zhuanlun had an old relationship with Fairy Shen Yu.
Lin Bai also explained to the outside world, but this poor place in Qiaoshan has always been stable, and it gets messy when there are many people. It is said that the reason why Lin Zhuanlun had a grudge with Qu Chengjia was because he slept with his direct descendant and his direct beloved disciple. The silent turtle was annoyed.
If your realm is low, your voice will be low. Even though Gu Fang of the Gu family often defended Lin Bai when she was out visiting, others still didn't believe her. They just thought that Lin Zhuanlun was good at seducing women and deceived the daughter of the Gu family.
Previously, Tian Yangchun of the Tian family wanted to give Lin Bai two girls. Now that Lin Bai has become more and more famous, he has not only shown many talents, but also won the love of Gu Yao, the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. Therefore, the Tian family has started to think about it again.
After dealing with Tian Guiqin, and after Zhu Yushu and Tian Wanjun paid their respects, Lin Bai took them to a quiet place to chat.
After not seeing each other for some time, the couple seems to be even more in love.
Nowadays, Tian Wanjun is taking care of the affairs of Fengming Mountain, while Zhu Yushu concentrates on practicing. If there is nothing important, Zhu Yushu usually ignores family affairs.
Tian Wanjun was already prudent in handling matters, and with the support of Zhu Jianyang and Zhu Yushu, he managed Fengming Mountain in an orderly manner.
Sure enough, after a few small talk, Tian Wanjun couldn't wait to invite Lin Bai to preach at Fengming Mountain.
"It doesn't matter what, whether it's alchemy, making talismans, or even formations, you just teach them. As long as you can meet a few talented people, it's a blessing." Tian Wanjun has a huge appetite and wants his family to learn everything.
This kind of preaching is very common. Qiaoshan Anning, no matter the sect or family, has the custom of preaching and talking about Taoism. Even for casual cultivators, Taoist gatherings are held from time to time.
It's just that the former is mostly taught with care, while the latter is often hidden.
This is what it should be, so Lin Bai naturally accepted Shimodian Wanjun's invitation.
Two days later, people from all sects and tribes in Qiaoshan came to worship.
"Why did you live in Qingyun Mountain? Are you not going back?" Jiang Xiaobai came with Jiang Xingchi. The latter went to talk to Gu Jiuzhong, so Jiang Yatou grabbed Lin Bai.
"Everything is busy." Lin Bai knew that this was a debt collection, but he just pretended that he didn't understand, and said: "I accidentally acquired a skill, and I am very compatible with Xiao Yu'er."
"Then just pass it on to her." Jiang Xiaobai didn't hesitate at all. "After all, she is your sister and a descendant of the Jiang family. Naturally, I need to ask you." Lin Bai looked serious.
"Lin Zhuanlun, you can do it." Jiang Xiaobai looked disdainful, "Your Miaomiao has coaxed Xiao Yu'er into a fool. When you master and apprentice sold her, she had to count the money for you. Now you come to pretend Is she a good person? Is it because she has grown up and has bad thoughts?”
"How can you judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart?" Lin Bai immediately explained, "I watched Xiao Yu'er grow up. I have always regarded myself as an elder and have no other thoughts."
Jiang Xiaobai just ignored it. She was petite and had a cute face, which made Lin Bai unable to get angry at all.
"Then let's wait until the ceremony is over." Lin Bai lost his temper, "When I return to Yuhu, I have something else to talk to you about, and I also want to see your ancestor again."
Knowing so many golden elixirs, Lin Bai was worried about the elixir theory, so he should ask about it.
Five days later, Yunxia Sect Po Yunzi came with his disciples, and people from Jiuyin Mountain also came.
Yue Fengshu and Gu Jiuzhong personally welcomed him into the inner hall to talk, as if they had no grudge against Jiuyin Mountain.
Lin Bai was of a low level and was not from the Qiaoshan Sect, so naturally he couldn't get close to him.
After a while, Meng Yuan and Song Jingxian came out. There was also a young Zhuji who was Yue Fengshu's beloved disciple, He Wen Yao.
"Brother Zhuanlun, you're fine." Meng Yuan said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhuanlun." Song Jingxian saluted.
"Ahem, brother Zhuanlun." He Wenyao was able to get out of the secret realm safely because he was actually favored by Lin Bai. However, after leaving the secret realm, he didn't come to thank him. It was better for the Chunyu family and the Shang family to know the etiquette.
During this ceremony, He Wenyao had also arrived early, but he just kept avoiding Lin Bai, not even daring to look at each other.
But Lin Bai had already realized that this boy had been secretly spying on him. However, he didn't feel any resentment and resentment, so Lin Bai let him go.
"Senior Sister Meng is well, and Junior Sister Song has recovered a lot. Senior Brother He, have you recovered from your injuries?" Lin Bai said casually, then pulled Miaomiao, and said, "This is my useless disciple."
Miaomiao's respectful salute didn't look incompetent.
"Such a well-behaved child." Meng Yuan took action directly and pinched Miaomiao's cheek.
Miaomiao smiled innocently, looking dumb.
"She is Ye Ruoqing's sister and the granddaughter of Taoist Priest Baimei." Lin Bai patted Ye Qingmeng beside him.
Ye Qingmeng quickly saluted.
"This is a junior of mine named Jiang Yu." Lin Bai added.
The ginger fish bowed politely.
As the senior sister, Meng Yuan was naturally the person to make the scene. She took out three heavy wood flying swords, a specialty of the Yunxia Sect, and gave them to the three girls as a meeting gift.
Song Jingxian also quickly took out the elixir and gave it to the three of them.
When Lin Bai saw that He Wenyao was not moving, he looked at him. Miaomiao held the flying sword and the elixir in her hands, and looked at the elixir curiously, ignorantly and naively.
"Here." He Wenyao took out three wolf fangs and said: "What you get in the secret realm can scare low-level monsters and can be used for self-defense."
"Thank you, senior." The three girls answered obediently.
Seeing that he had benefited, Lin Bai sent Miaomiao and the others away and took Sister Meng and Song to a secluded forest.
He Wenyao actually followed him.
The four of them found the bluestone and sat down, while Lin Bai waited quietly for Meng Yuan to speak.
"Pei Ning is extremely talented, well-behaved and cute, and has a beautiful bell and a beautiful spirit." Meng Yuan said with a smile, "The women Brother Zhuan Lun meets are all outstanding people."
You missed a few words! Lin Bai smiled modestly and said: "How can I be as good as senior sister?"
"Look," Meng Yuan looked at Song Jingxian and said with a smile, "No wonder he can coax Ruyi into being divorced from his uncle."
At this point, Meng Yuan smiled again and asked, "Where did Ruyi go?"
"She is meditating in the Tianchi sect." Lin Bai replied.
Meng Yuan nodded and asked again: "In the secret realm, there are many winds and rains, can there be any gains?"
Of course, I found Xiuxiu, met the master Li Xinghe, and realized the magical power of star escape. When Lin Bai thought about it this way, it seemed that he had really gained a lot.
"Here." Seeing that Lin Bai didn't speak, Meng Yuan took out a book.
Lin Bai took it and rubbed the book without opening it to read.
The book is extremely thin, only about ten pages. I don’t know what material it is made of, but it is very tough.
"What is this?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"You'll know after you open it and take a look." Meng Yuan smiled.
"In the past, I found a spring book from the Song and Qing dynasties. Unfortunately, I was a noble person and could not see any filth, so I burned it. Could it be that this is also a spring book?" Lin Bai asked with a smile, without opening it to read.
When Song Jingxian heard Song Qing's name, she tilted her head and looked at Lin Bai.
He Wenyao looked very interested, as if he wanted to take a quick look.
"If you like spring albums, I will send you some someday. However, you must not be short of women. What can the colorful pictures mean?" Meng Yuan whispered, smiling broadly, "I know this." Do it.”
Lin Bai had known for a long time that the Yunxia Sect girls were unreliable, but he didn't expect that Senior Sister Meng Yuantang would also be unscrupulous in her words.
"No, no!" Before Lin Bai could speak, He Wenyao raised his hand, shook his fingers, and said, "Senior sister, this is wrong."
"I would like to hear the details." Meng Yuan looked like he was seeking truth.
"The spring album can certainly increase feelings, but it is not inferior if you are close to it. Just looking at the pictures can keep a bit of beauty in your heart. If you follow them in person, it will not be very interesting." He Wenyao looked like he had come from the past.
Lin Bai and Meng Song were stunned.
"Senior Brother He, do you mean to just watch the training?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.
"Exactly." He Wenyao said.
"What's the point of that?" Lin Bai was confused.
"Yeah, what's the point of that?" Meng Yuan also frowned.
"This is the reason why the great avenue is missing one." He Wenyao said with a smile.
What nonsense? Lin Bai nodded, thinking that none of the three major sects was reliable.
Meng Yuan also nodded, thinking that the disciple of the general affairs leader of the Qiaoshan Sect probably suffered unspeakable injuries in the secret realm.
"Senior sister, tell me about this book." Song Jingxian said.
She blushed and lowered her head. A senior sister, a Mr. Zhuan Lun, and a direct descendant of the head of the Qiaoshan Sect, all of them had no sense of shame and talked about the secrets of Chungui in broad daylight.
"Yes, yes, yes." Meng Yuan remembered the business, pointed to the book in Lin Bai's hand, and said: "This is written by our Yunxia Sect's Jindan predecessors in the past generations. It records the changes in the state of mind when searching for the elixir, and even the elixir itself. With Your understanding and formulation of elixir theory will be of great help!”
Alchemy has never been known to anyone, even to people close to it.
It's just that the big sect has its own rules, and the old Jindan cultivators often leave some words before they die. It may be detailed or abbreviated, but I hope it can give a little bit of guidance to the younger generations. This is for the sake of future generations.
This is the foundation of Dapai.
He Wenyao was stunned when he heard the words and stared blankly. He had long lost the high spirits he had when he talked about the spring album.
Lin Bai didn't say anything, just rubbed the book. This gift is of course the best, and it is also sent to my heart. This kind of important gift is something that Tiehuasheng can't get, and it's something that casual cultivators can't get even if they fight to the death. Even He Wenyao is very jealous.
How could such a precious thing be given away so rashly? Lin Bai knew that this person came here because of Qu Chengjia's matter, hoping to smooth over the conflict and put an end to the hatred.
