Chapter 131: The Heart of a Jade Maiden, Entering the Dao of Immortality
main world.
Lin Chaoying felt like she had only waited for a blink of an eye before Ouyang Feng appeared in front of her again.
"Is the matter settled?"
"Yes, it's done."
Ouyang Feng held her hand and said, "Sister Lin, how about counting the gains with me?"
Lin Chaoying looked embarrassed. "How can we count all these boxes in such a short time?"
"Then just count the gold and silver and make a rough estimate."
The two men came to the treasure chest containing gold and silver, opened it, and counted them one by one.
"This gold brick weighs about ten kilograms?"
"It's about ten kilograms. Didn't Sister Lin bring a scale?"
"Why would I bring a steelyard if I have nothing to do?"
"The storage talisman has a large space, so you can bring any tools you want, just in case. By the way, I know a guy who uses a scale as a weapon."
"All the golden-haired Seven Freaks of Jiangnan Prefecture in Jiaxing? You and the Medicine Master taught them for seven days, so they can be considered your registered disciples."
"That's right..."
As the two chatted, they roughly estimated the amount of gold. The final result was so shocking that even Lin Chaoying, who was indifferent to money, couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"About million taels of gold, but only about 1 million taels of silver... But Ouyang, this is already much more than the annual income of the Jin Kingdom."
"The Jin Kingdom has a smaller population, does not engage in large-scale maritime trade, has a weaker economic development, and is not very good at detailed plundering. The Song Kingdom in the south has about this much in annual revenue.
"Ouyang, be serious. If this money is exposed, the Jin Kingdom will send a hundred thousand troops to attack the mountain..."
"Relax, Sister Lin, you and I know this, how could it be exposed? Come, take another look at these boxes. Is this Ming Guang armor beautiful? Sister Lin can choose one set..."
"..."
Lin Chaoying was speechless for a while.
Gold and silver are fine, but these weapons and armors are not to be seen in public. Although she is not afraid of the Jin Kingdom and has participated in rebellious activities such as attacking the Jin camp and beheading Jin generals, Huashan Sect used to be free when there were no children. Now that they have accepted many child disciples who have not yet mastered their kung fu, it would be very bad if they really attracted a large army to encircle and suppress them.
"We have to transport all these things back to the Western Regions as soon as possible."
"Even if we put our storage talismans together, we still can't carry this many in one trip."
"Didn't you refine three Absorption Talismans yourself? Now you have one, I have one, and the one that the pharmacist refined was made by himself. Where did the third Absorption Talisman that you refined go?"
"Well, I gave it to a friend in the outer world. She returned the favor by finding a treasure for me. Among the million gold, 100,000 were found by her, and the 'Five Absolute Divine Skills' that I studied with you before were also found by her..."
You guys...
One gave you 100,000 gold and a magical skill, and the other gave you a magical talisman in return. Are you and that friend from the outer world a friend of life and death? Or is it something closer than that?
Lin Chaoying took a deep breath and reminded herself not to argue with this brother who was ten years younger than her. It would make her look petty and unworthy of an elder sister. She refrained from asking further questions and just said:
"Then go find your friend from outer space and borrow the Absorption Talisman that you gave him (?) for the time being."
"Three pieces are not enough. We still have to make several trips. Don't worry, just transport them slowly. The rest can be stored here. It's hidden here anyway and won't be found by outsiders."
"I'm not afraid of a thousand things, I'm afraid of one thing, what if someone finds out..."
"Then ask Wang Wu to return to the mountain. When we return to the Western Regions to deliver the goods, he will be in charge here personally."
Lin Chaoying said helplessly: "This is the only way."
Wang Wu is paranoid enough that he will never turn back from something he has made up his mind about. Since he has chosen Ouyang Feng as his master and Huashan Sect as his home, he will not waver even if a huge temptation is placed before him.
Of course, Baoqin is also absolutely loyal, but Baoqin is also responsible for teaching the second generation of disciples and has no time to come here to take charge.
"When you return to the Western Regions this fall, take back two million taels of gold and eight hundred thousand taels of silver. Leave the rest in Huashan to be used as activity funds and daily expenses. As for weapons and armor, borrow Lianxing's storage talisman. It will be enough to transport all the Mingguang armor, more than three thousand strong bows and all arrows, and about a thousand Liangdang armors. The rest of the weapons and armor can only be transported later."
Ouyang Feng thought about it for a while, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Chaoying say:
"The armors are all Liangdang armor and Mingguang armor. The swords among the weapons are all ring-handled straight swords, and there are also a few carefully crafted long spears... The shapes of these weapons and armors look like they were made in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties. So, is the world outside the sky that you went to a world that is behind our times and still in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties?"
Ouyang Feng exclaimed: "Sister Lin is really smart and unparalleled."
Lin Chaoying seemed to be thinking: "Why does it sound like you are looking back into history?"
"It's not a retrospective of history, but a different world that is similar to the history of our world."
Ouyang Feng explained:
"The world I brought back these two million golds and weapons and armors to is full of masters. For example, Yu Wenzhi, who was responsible for the Jiangdu mutiny and murder of Yang Guang, was a master of martial arts. I fought with him for more than 2,000 moves before I was able to kill him."
Lin Chaoying was amazed: "I can fight with you for more than 2,000 moves? Doesn't that mean you are more powerful than me?"
"It is indeed very powerful. In that world, not only are all the heroes, such as Li Mi, Zhai Rang, Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande, etc., all masters, but even some high-ranking officials of the court and even famous scholars have excellent martial arts."
"It's incredible that there is such a world..."
"It's truly magical."
"There are so many masters in the world, it must be very dangerous, right?"
"There are dangers, but there are also great opportunities. During my trip to the outer space this time, I not only found this great treasure, but also obtained a magical skill that can help us truly enter the Dao, as well as a treasure that contains good fortune. After I retreat to digest it, I will share what I have gained with Sister Lin."
"I was blessed with your 'precious dew' last year, and now I have to thank you again... How can I repay you? Since we got married, I have not had any physical problems, and I don't even have a child for you..."
"You and I are husband and wife, so why should I ask for anything in return? As for our children, I've already said it's not your problem." Ouyang Feng stopped her from blaming herself, held her in his arms and gave her a gentle kiss.
You are so sure it's not my problem, so you have tried it with other women?
Lin Chaoying was thinking in her heart, Ouyang went to the world outside the heaven, and his coming and going were only a moment, but only a moment passed here, so how much time had passed in the world outside the heaven?
He was looking for treasures and acquiring magical skills, so I guess he spent quite a long time in the outer world every time he went there.
He also recalled that last year in Gaochang City, when he attended a dinner party hosted by Ouyang Feng's brother and sister-in-law in the royal palace, his brother and sister-in-law had laughed and said that when he was young he had made a bold statement that he would not marry anyone unless she was a beauty like Yang Guifei, or a beautiful woman whose martial arts skills matched his.
Lin Chaoying felt that he had been to not only the chaotic world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but also the prosperous Tang Dynasty during the reign of Li Longji, where he had witnessed the unparalleled beauty of Yang Guifei. Even with his lawless and unscrupulous nature, he might even want to kill Li Longji and take Yang Guifei away...
Thinking of this, Lin Chaoying couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
However, from the time she felt the "sad and lingering breeze" in the Xixia Underground Palace until now, she owed him too much.
Although they should not care about such things as a couple, but as the older sister, she should have supported him, but it turned out to be the opposite. She has always been taken care of and favored by him, but she cannot give birth to a child for him.
Even though Ouyang Feng repeatedly said that not having children was not her problem, how could Lin Chaoying really not mind?
Thinking of this, Lin Chaoying no longer thought about it. She hugged Ouyang Feng tightly, stood on tiptoes, gave him a kiss, and while kissing him, she began to unbutton his clothes.
Ouyang Feng was slightly startled and felt a little strange.
Sister Lin has always loved cleanliness. Although she had enjoyed the fun of the wild with him before, she refused to go anywhere else except in extremely clear and clean running water, such as the rock pool by the waterfall.
Why did I suddenly feel emotional in this cave today?
Although he felt strange, since Sister Lin was interested, he would not refuse and cooperated with her.
Amid the rustling sounds, Lin Chaoying's clothes fell to the ground, leaving only a robe with the front open wide. Her snow-white body hung on him like a koala, her hands tightly around his neck, her legs wrapped around his waist, and she kissed him passionately while deeply intertwining with him.
……
At night, in the secret room of the Huashan Sect.
In Ouyang Feng's sea of consciousness, the "Treasure Mirror of All Heaven" shone brightly, and all the magical skills, rare books and treasures he had obtained in the Twin Dragons World flashed across the mirror one by one:
Mysterious Ice Power, Secret of Immortality, Secret of the Heavenly Demon, Sound Wave Power, Tyrant Sword Technique, Pushing Mountain Hand and other unique fist and palm skills, free-hand fighting experience...
In fact, each of these magical skills is enough to make a warrior devote his entire life to studying, comprehending and practicing them.
Just like the "Ice Mysterious Power", in the huge Yuwen clan, only two people have mastered it, one is the clan leader Yuwen Shang, and the other is Yuwen Huaji. Even Yuwen Shang's son Yuwen Wudi failed to master the Ice Mysterious Power.
And although Ouyang Feng had amazing comprehension, and had undergone four sessions of marrow cleansing and body tempering with precious nectar, as well as the enlightenment of his inspiration and comprehension with the Tongtian Treasure Mirror, he had only incorporated some essentials of its application into the "Hunyuan Wuji Gong", and up to now had not truly gained from the gains of the Double Dragon World.
So he needed to retreat for a while to sort out and digest his thoughts.
However, before he devoted himself to studying and comprehending the various unique skills, he must first try to refine the essence of heaven and earth.
This year's precious nectar has already been condensed - it is still late summer in the main world, and the precious nectar of previous years could only be condensed in late autumn, but this time he has stayed in the Double Dragon World for more than three months, so this year's precious nectar was naturally condensed ahead of time.
With this drop of precious nectar as a support, Ouyang Feng dared to try to use the infinite true qi to refine the essence of heaven and earth.
The reason why he chose to refine the essence of heaven and earth in the main world was because he wanted to do an experiment.
If the experiment succeeds...
Ouyang Feng gathered his thoughts, cleared his mind, put aside all distractions, and began to practice the Changsheng Jue mental method, concentrating on sensing the essence of heaven and earth.
The essence of heaven and earth in the main world is like "inert gas" to "active gas" compared to the essence of heaven and earth in the world of the Twin Dragons.
Even if the essence of the heaven and earth in the main world is drawn into the human body, it will not actively react with the essence and internal strength of the human body.
Once the essence of heaven and earth in the world of Twin Dragons enters the human meridians, it will immediately and proactively seek a response.
In terms of reactions, the two are in stark contrast.
The feeling when sensing the essence of heaven and earth with the Changsheng Jue mental method is also a sharp contrast.
The essence of heaven and earth in the Twin Dragons world gave people a feeling of being bright, lively and agile. On the other hand, the essence of heaven and earth in the main world felt dull and introverted, and too lazy to move.
But no matter how introverted and lazy he was, when Ouyang Feng practiced the method of receiving and absorbing the metal essence that matched his own bone attributes, the metal essence entered Ouyang Feng's meridians smoothly, just like when he used the method of subduing the dragon's sound to absorb the thunder sound essence.
However, after entering the meridians, the metal essence still has no reaction, giving people a subtle feeling of taking things as they come, being too lazy to move, or even lying down and letting go.
Ouyang Feng remained calm and activated his Wuji True Qi to wrap up the metal essence. Then, without any hesitation, he began to refine the Changsheng Jue's method of "refining essence into Qi".
It feels like grinding steel beans with a millstone.
That strand of golden energy was extremely stubborn and remained unmoved no matter how hard Ouyang Feng pushed his mental skills.
But Ouyang Feng was not discouraged. He focused on promoting the method of Changsheng Jue, using the Wuji true Qi as a millstone to patiently grind that wisp of golden essence.
One hour, two hours...
Eight hours...
Twelve hours.
boom!
It took a full twelve hours before that wisp of golden essence finally began to move. Its edge suddenly broke apart a little, releasing a trace of extremely lively and agile energy that combined with Ouyang Feng's infinite true qi.
When the essence of heaven and earth combined with human true energy, the reaction was like boiling oil meeting cold water, which immediately caused Ouyang Feng's true energy to begin to stir.
However, due to the "inertia" of the essence of the main world's heaven and earth, that wisp of gold essence only released about 1 percent of its active energy. Although the reaction was violent, the range was not large, and it did not cause any damage to Ouyang Feng's meridians, and he did not even feel much discomfort.
Ouyang Feng's spirits were greatly boosted, and he focused on refining.
In the end, it took another seven or eight hours to finally successfully refine that strand of "active" gold essence, and derive a strand of Wuji Qi that was clearly different from the original Wuji Qi. It was not only more refined, but also had a strange "spirituality and vitality".
When he activated that trace of spiritual and vibrant Wuji true Qi and let it circulate in his meridians and dantian, Ouyang Feng suddenly felt a sense of ease and joy.
Even when the true Qi flows through the Ren and Du meridians and circulates to the acupoints on the head, even the mind has a subtle feeling of "expanding and growing".
After experiencing it for a while, Ouyang Feng couldn't help but smile with joy.
He knew that his experiment was successful.
In the main world, although refining the essence of heaven and earth is difficult and slow, it is safe and reliable. There is no need to disperse your skills. You can directly combine your own skills with the essence of heaven and earth, and use the method of "refining essence into qi" in the art of longevity to refine the purest and most vital innate true qi.
The Secret of Immortality is a pure method of longevity. It does not contain any martial arts techniques, fighting skills, or any special magical powers.
Therefore, the innate true Qi achieved through the method of refining essence into Qi through the Changsheng Jue method still needs to be stimulated by one's own martial arts skills to perform various martial arts.
However, as one of the four great books written by the ancient golden immortal Guangchengzi himself, the "Eternal Life Secret" uses the method to cultivate the innate true qi, which is more than one level higher than the innate true qi cultivated by innate masters who practice ordinary magical skills and have worked hard to transform from acquired to innate.
It not only naturally comes with all kinds of supernatural powers, such as a great increase in the most basic physical fitness, sharpness of the five senses, etc., but also allows practitioners to naturally enhance their spiritual spirit without deliberately practicing the method of refining the spirit. It allows people to have powerful and sharp spiritual perception like "divine consciousness" even when their skills are low.
As for prolonging life and achieving eternal youth, that is even more so.
"In this way, Sister Lin and Lianxing can also use the method of Changsheng Jue to refine the essence of heaven and earth, so that their true qi can undergo a qualitative change and truly enter the door of immortality. As for Sister Yuhuan, after the passage to the Shengtang world is opened, I have to go to her world in person to determine the activity level of the essence of heaven and earth in that world..."
