Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

While sorting out these questions, Lin Nan also noticed another strange thing: "The sun and moon in the real world seem to be different from the moon and sun in this world. Every time I come here after practicing in the real world, I always feel like I am wandering in the void, as if those places where I wander have an inexplicable attraction to my soul."

Lin Nan pondered and thought hard, trying to find the connection between the real world and the world of Journey to the West, but there was too little information and he could never really find the difference between the two.

"It seems that my cultivation is still not enough. If I can improve to a higher level, I might be able to detect more clues." He sighed secretly in his heart.

Finally, Lin Nan decided to put aside these complicated thoughts temporarily, chanted the "Purifying Heart Mantra", and began to practice in meditation.

At this time, on the Lingshan Mountain in the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva was standing respectfully in front of the Buddha, holding a jade bottle.

The Tathagata Buddha sits on it, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, and the entire Lingshan is bathed in peace.

Guanyin Bodhisattva reported to the Tathagata Buddha: "An unexpected situation has occurred in the Chechi Kingdom. A Taoist disciple has become the great master of the Chechi Kingdom."

At this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed a little hesitant, and continued: "I have tried to deduce the origin of the Taoist priest, but I can't find his whereabouts. I only know that he was given an elixir by Taishang Laojun, and possessed the 'Yangping Zhidu Gongyin', and he also performed the deification on behalf of the heaven."

Upon hearing this, Tathagata Buddha could not help but exclaimed in surprise. Then, he raised his broad big hand, slightly pinched it, and began to count with his fingers. After a moment, Tathagata Buddha showed a slightly surprised look on his face: "I can't figure out his origins either, it's like I've come to a blank."

Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Can't the Buddha figure out Lin Nan's origins?"

The Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment and said calmly: "It seems that Lin Nan should have some extraordinary origins. Even if he is the work of a certain saint, it cannot stop the destiny of our Buddhist sect from flourishing."

Guanyin Bodhisattva continued to ask: "What about the Chechi Kingdom? Nowadays, the respect for Taoism and the disparagement of Buddhism are particularly serious in Chechi. I am afraid that before the pilgrims arrive, there will be no trace of our Buddhism in Chechi anymore."

The Tathagata Buddha did not seem to be worried at all. He said calmly, "Everything in Chechi is now almost entirely supported by Lin Nan. Moreover, he has not yet transcended the mundane world and has not yet become an immortal."

At this point, Tathagata Buddha seemed confident and determined: "When Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong pass through Chechi Kingdom, Sun Wukong's power will be enough to suppress Lin Nan. By then, it will be easy to restore Chechi Kingdom's faith in Buddhism."

After hearing what Tathagata Buddha said, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt relieved and nodded slightly, saying, "Good."

At this time, Lin Nan was still sitting cross-legged in the Sanqing Temple, with the golden gourd quietly placed in front of him. Although he gave one Taiyi Purple Gold Pill to each of the Tiger Power Immortal, the Deer Power Immortal, and the Sheep Power Immortal, he did not feel the slightest bit of pain in his heart. Because the gourd of Taiyi Purple Gold Pills given by the Supreme Lord Laojun was so many, the three he gave away were just a drop in the bucket, and there were still dozens of them left.

"I wonder if the Jade Emperor gave me the elixir because he wanted me to become an immortal quickly. This gourd of golden elixirs is enough to make a mortal immortal even if he takes them." Lin Nan pondered secretly in his heart, and casually poured out a Taiyi Purple Gold Pill and threw it into his mouth.

The Taiyi Purple Gold Pill melted in his mouth and instantly merged into Lin Nan's body. A powerful medicinal force began to cleanse his muscles, bones and blood vessels.

However, Lin Nan was not satisfied with this. He knew in his heart: "If I rely solely on the Taiyi Purple Gold Pill to become an immortal, I will only be a weak immortal. What I pursue is the Supreme Golden Pill Heavenly Dao."

Thinking of this, Lin Nan's mind flashed through a passage of the secret of the golden elixir: "First, use the universe as the cauldron, then draw the black rabbit medicine to cook. After driving the two things back to the Yellow Road, the golden elixir will not be resolved. Set up the furnace and set up the cauldron to follow the universe, temper the essence and control the soul. Gather and disperse the mist to form changes, and dare to discuss the mystery lightly."

He silently recited the secret of the golden elixir while refining the medicinal power in his body. The Taiyi Purple Gold Pill played a role in his body, becoming the "fuel" for him to cultivate his own golden elixir, rather than his own golden elixir. Only in this way could Lin Nan embark on the path of the supreme golden elixir.

At this time, Lin Nan has achieved the harmony of yin and yang, and the combination of dragon and tiger. He turned his body into a cauldron, and used the Taiyi Purple Gold Pill as fuel to "temper the essence and control the soul". He wanted to refine his dragon and tiger yin and yang, yellow sprouts and white snow into four images. Among them, dragon wood produces fire, tiger gold produces water, and wood, fire, water and gold combine to form four images. Once the four images are formed, they can be combined into a big pill, find the mixed primordial innate true qi, and then turn into a golden pill.

The medicinal power of Taiyi Zijin Dan was taking effect in Lin Nan's body, making his Huangya Baixue grow stronger and stronger.

At the same time, the power from the "Moon Pill" was also constantly pouring out, being digested and absorbed by Lin Nan one by one. His internal organs seemed to be mobilized and emitted a faint light, the kidney essence was strengthened, the liver and spleen resonated, and the stomach and kidneys moved together.

This state lasted for several months. Spring and summer passed, autumn leaves turned cold and snow fell, and the fallen leaves on the trees outside the Sanqing Temple changed again and again, but Lin Nan was still in seclusion and practicing.

Due to the different ways of cultivation, Jade Rabbit has left Sanqing Temple to find another place to cultivate. In Chechi Imperial City, the three great immortals are also practicing in seclusion in case of emergency.

The entire Chechi Kingdom is now enjoying good weather, peace and prosperity, and with Lao Dian, who has turned into a river god, protecting the country, there are not many times when the four national masters are needed.

The Chechi Kingdom prospered under Lin Nan's governance. Now everyone has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and there is no hungry person in the whole country.

Even the aftereffects of Lin Nan’s previous “sermon” were still playing a role.

In that sermon, Lin Nan talked about a lot of things, including some modern concepts.

As time went by, these ideas were gradually adopted by Che Chiguo and put into practice.

Among them was the policy of "opening up wasteland". Although there were not many people in Chechi State, the arable land could not be fully distributed to every citizen. Therefore, there were still a large number of people who had no land to cultivate and could only barely make a living as tenants of landlords.

Now the ruler of Chechi has issued a new law: all Chechi citizens can go out to open up wasteland. After three years, the land will belong to the citizens and they will enjoy land rights for 60 years. This policy undoubtedly brings hope to those landless people.

You should know that although Chechi is only a small country on the surface, its land area is actually not small. The borders of Chechi extend from Tongtian River in the west to Heishui River in the east.

However, due to environmental reasons and the people's habit of sticking together for warmth, it has always been confined to the central area and has not spread out to the surrounding areas.

Besides, in previous years, if one reclaimed wasteland and planted crops, one might not even have enough to eat in a year. In this case, what would be the use of having regulations on land reclamation?
However, the situation is very different now. The country already has a variety of high-yield plants, and the people can easily get enough food and clothing.

After having enough food and clothing, the people naturally became more energetic.

During this period, people's minds began to become active. They turned their eyes to the outside world and started to reclaim wasteland.

The Chechi Kingdom gave strong support to the people along with a series of wise regulations. For those brave people who went to the east and west sides to reclaim wasteland, the state not only granted them tax-free privileges for a certain period of time, but also provided necessary safeguards.

Inspired by this, many people chose to head east or west, carrying countless seeds and starting a vigorous era of land reclamation. This glorious period of history is honored in Chechi as "Chechchi's Eastward Expansion and Westward Expansion".

This series of land reclamation regulations is widely known as the "Great Master's Regulations" because of its far-reaching impact.

At the root of it, all these achievements can be attributed to Lin Nan. At this time, several national masters were immersed in the depths of retreat and practice. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed quietly.

In the court of Chechi State, the king fell into deep thought involuntarily while listening to the ministers' detailed reports on the domestic situation.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye since Chechi Kingdom conferred the title of River God.

During these five years, whether it was Lin Nan or the Great Immortals Huli, Deerli, and Sheepli, they had all been in a state of seclusion and cultivation and had never shown up.

Although they were in seclusion, the reputation of the four national masters in Chechi Kingdom has never diminished and they have always been legends in people's hearts.

In the past five years, Chechi has undergone tremendous changes. The former king is now full of vigor and vitality.

From the ministers, he learned that everything in Chechi Kingdom was now flourishing and thriving.

"We, the Chechi Kingdom, have successfully reclaimed thousands of miles of wasteland on both sides of the east and west, and the land area has increased several times." The ministers said excitedly.

"The country's grain production is abundant, the people can eat and drink enough, and pasta has become a regular on every household's table," added another minister.

In addition to having enough food to eat, people's families are also welcoming new life, and the population is expected to increase exponentially in the future.

In today's Chechi Kingdom, beggars can no longer be seen on the streets, and the people live a prosperous and prosperous life.

"Nowadays, thousands of families respect Taoism, and the domestic atmosphere has been completely changed." The king concluded, feeling deeply moved. He knew very well that all this prosperity and prosperity was inseparable from the wise decision to respect Taoism and despise Buddhism.

"Respecting Taoism and disparaging Buddhism is truly beneficial to the country and the people. The national masters are not deceiving me!" The king praised sincerely.

"Your Majesty is wise!" In the court, the ministers praised in unison, making the king feel very pleased.

However, in addition to his joy, the king couldn't help but feel a little worried: "It's just that I don't know when the national masters will be able to break through the barriers and continue to lead our country to a more glorious future."

Just as the king's thoughts were in a tizzy, Lin Nan slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. A long stream of white air slowly came out of his mouth, revealing his profound cultivation. He seemed to be isolated from the world during this retreat, unaware of the passage of time.

Most of the Taiyi Purple Gold Pill in the gourd had been consumed. Five years of closed-door practice had significantly improved Lin Nan's cultivation and made his magic power even stronger.

However, he is still in the accumulation stage and has not achieved a real breakthrough, and the realm of the four evolutions of dragon and tiger is still out of reach.

This result was not without reason. Lin Nan sighed slightly, and he already understood the problem.

"Although this retreat has helped me improve a lot, the power of the Moon Pill is still greater than my own body's power after all." He thought to himself.

Lin Nan was both grateful and conflicted about the Moon Pill given by Taiyin Star Lord. The power of this Moon Pill was enough for him to become an immortal, but if he became an immortal with the power of the Moon Pill, he would belong to Taiyin Star, and his path would be limited from then on, and he would no longer be able to pursue the higher realm of the Golden Pill.

Despite this, the Moon Pill is still a treasure coveted by countless practitioners and even immortals. For Lin Nan, the Moon Pill has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it greatly speeds up Lin Nan's practice and allows him to directly touch the realm of yin and yang; the disadvantage is that it can easily lead to imbalance, making Lin Nan's practice path full of challenges.

"It seems that I need to absorb a large amount of sunlight to maintain the balance in my body." Lin Nan decided secretly in his heart.

Although five years of practice had improved him a lot, it also caused his yin and yang to become imbalanced. The power of Tiger's White Snow was stronger than Dragon's Yellow Bud, causing his spirit to become stronger than his body.

In order to correct this imbalance, Lin Nan must take action.

He looked up at the sky, calculating the time in his mind.

"Counting the days, I have been away from the modern world for more than half a year." He muttered to himself, "It's time to return to the modern world and use the sun there to practice."

Although the sun in the Journey to the West world also contains powerful power, it is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court and guarded by the Sun Star God. Lin Nan naturally cannot borrow its power to practice at will. In addition, he has no other Yang treasures to strengthen his Yang energy.

Therefore, returning to the real world and using the sunlight from the huge sun to practice became the best option for Lin Nan.

"Time is running out. I can't waste any more time." Lin Nan calculated with his fingers, feeling anxious.

Ten years have passed since he traveled through time and space in the Journey to the West world, and there are only a few years left before the Journey to the West group sets out on the road.

Although it would take several more years for the Journey to the West group to travel from the Tang Dynasty in the East to the Chechi Kingdom, this did not mean that Lin Nan still had enough time.

Because the beginning of the Journey to the West is not far away, he must cultivate the golden elixir during this period of time, otherwise when he faces Sun Wukong and the other Journey to the West in the future, he may not even be able to win the battle.

At that moment, Lin Nan did not hesitate any longer. He poured his magic power into the ring in his hand. The next moment, the ring burst into a dazzling light, covering his entire body. Then, Lin Nan's figure gradually disappeared in the world of Journey to the West.

When Lin Nan opened his eyes again, he had left the Journey to the West world and returned to the real world. (End of this chapter)
