I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 75 74: Gu Lingmiao, the Immortal Body Forged in the Divine Fire Furnace
At this time, they arrived at the main hall. The empty hall, which was several hundred feet wide, was deserted. Including Ji Yuan and others, there were only eleven people in total.

Sitting on the cloud bed at the top was a pretty woman in a crimson gauze dress, with a jade-like face, red lips, and prominent eyebrows; but her expression was a little cold and serious.

His cultivation level is similar to mine, also more than four hundred years.

Ji Yuan only took a glance and lowered his head: "Lingbao greets Senior Sister Gu."

Ling Miao's surname was Gu, and he was also from a family of immortal studies, but it was not a prominent family.

Chen Hai also followed the roll call and paid his respects.

Seeing that the two men were both very powerful, Ling Miao quickly stood up and avoided the greeting. With a slightly pale face, he forced a smile and said, "You're welcome. You two junior brothers are family. Please sit wherever you want. Don't be shy."

It would be fine if he didn't laugh, but he was so solemn and dignified that people dared not speak loudly.

This smile is like a blooming crabapple blossom; her jade-like face is half happy and half angry, with bright eyes and white teeth. She is truly extremely beautiful and beyond compare; better than any other scenery in fairy mountains.

Ji Yuan lowered his head and didn't see it, while Chen Hai didn't dare to look at it any more.

But all the other cultivators in the hall were stunned. It had been less than a year since they entered Tenghai Peak, and they had never seen the peak master smile at anyone.

Yu Qi was also a little surprised. It had been many years since she saw her master smile.

For a moment, the entire noisy palace became quiet.

Gu Lingmiao saw that everyone was looking at her, and the atmosphere was silent. Ji Yuan and Chen Hai still lowered their heads, restraining their smiles, and pointed to the table and cushion beside them: "Sit down."

"After I came back, I heard from Yuqi that Junior Brother Ji Lingbao had profound skills and could fight Lingming for several rounds. But I didn't know Junior Brother's skills before and ignored him. I hope you will forgive me for neglecting Junior Brother."

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Yuan who was sitting upright with her bright eyes, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"I dare not. Senior sister is busy with things, and I have little skills, so I dare not disturb her." Ji Yuan also quickly picked up the cup in front of the table and drank it all.

Just as he put down the cup, Lingmiao picked up the cup again.

He was not given a chance to speak, and Ji Yuan couldn't be rude either; he could only raise his cup and drink another one.

After three cups of this, Ling Miao turned his eyes away with an expressionless face.

This wine is also a spiritual wine, and it is much stronger than Chen family's Jiuxia Cup.

Just now, he was still drunk and was forced to do it three times by his leader. Even with Ji Yuan's physical condition, he felt hot all over and his stomach was churning.

My head is dizzy and I feel nauseous.

Just when he was about to lose control, the Samadhi Fire in his Dantian that was constantly refining the Flint Stone suddenly trembled and turned into a wisp of dark red flame that seemed real and unreal and burned into his stomach.

As soon as the flames caught fire, all the wine and food in the stomach were turned into ashes.

"Cough cough..." Ji Yuan was choked by the sudden attack of Samadhi Fire and started coughing, with a puff of black smoke coming out of his nostrils and mouth.

At this time Ling Miao was toasting to others, and the glasses were clinking, so no one noticed.

After being choked by the Samadhi Fire, Ji Yuan not only sobered up completely, but his mind instantly became extremely clear. He no longer felt unwell and sat calmly at the table.

It must have happened that Gu Lingmiao was gathering the monks from Tenghai Peak, so there were not only delicious dishes at the banquet, but also hundreds of jars of wine, and strong men were constantly transporting wine to the palace.

This Gu Lingmiao can really drink.

She started with Ji Yuan and toasted three times to everyone at the table, and won the game directly.

This wine is very strong and has a long aftertaste. Even monks with great magical powers cannot withstand it. It is also drunk from large bowls. It would take an ordinary person half a day to recover after drinking one bowl.

If you drink two bowls in a row, you will feel dizzy.

After three bowls, the whole body usually feels numb, the head is shaking, the speech is incoherent, and the directions are unclear.

Those monks were toasted by Lingmiao and did not dare to refuse. They drank in big gulps. The wine flowed down their chins into their clothes. They drank half and spilled the other half.

Even so, after three bowls each, they were still tipsy and their blood was boiling.

Gu Lingmiao passed the level, drinking three cups per person, and ten people drank thirty bowls. His cheeks were also red and he was a little drunk.

But she picked up the bowl again and looked at Chen Hai: "Junior Brother Chen Lingkun, you just came from Zhongzhou, right? You have worked hard all the way. Now that you are in Tenghai, you are one of our family. Please come in!"

Chen Hai had just gotten drunk with Ji Yuan at Jinque Peak and was still drunk. At the moment, he was squinting his eyes, looking up and down repeatedly, and snoring.

He was startled when he suddenly heard Gu Lingmiao calling his name. He quickly perked up, stared with his eyes wide open, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

As a result, before he could even finish the first bowl, he couldn't help but let out a "wow" and vomited, spraying all over the table.

Everyone else was stunned.

Ji Yuan quickly stood up and apologized: "Senior sister has a huge appetite. He and I drank more than three kilograms of wine at Jinque Peak just now."

"Oh? Those two junior brothers are also very good at it."

"I lost my composure. I hope you will forgive me, Senior Sister." Chen Hai spat out a bullet and came to his senses. He stood up nervously.

"It's okay, it's all a small matter." Lingmiao waved her hand and asked Yuqi to bring the hangover soup.

She called everyone together for a banquet and set out hundreds of jars of wine. She had anticipated all this and had even cooked the hangover soup for half a day.

However, after Chen Hai vomited a lot, no one had any appetite to eat or drink.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering for a long time: "Senior Sister Ling Miao, why are there only these few people in the peak? Where are the other Taoist friends?"

Ling Miao looked around at everyone, her eyes slightly red. "All gone. Three hundred and twenty people, all buried in the wilderness. The ones now are all newcomers this year."

"Crack!" There was a sound of flying wood chips, which startled everyone.

It was with those nimble and slender fingers that he crushed a four or five inch corner of the table in front of him into pieces.

"Sister, did you succeed in slaying the demon?" Ji Yuan didn't care, since he wasn't familiar with those people anyway.

Ling Miao suppressed her emotions and shook her head: "It should have been done, but I was robbed on the way and I was also injured."

Briefly recount what happened.

More than two years ago, Ling Miao and the monks of Teng Hai Peak went to the wilderness together and killed the strange beast Red Vulture. The beast was extremely powerful and could spit out divine fire. It had an inner elixir that could shatter mountains, and killed several people.

They only managed to pluck a few three-foot-long tail feathers of the red eagle, and Lingmiao was also slightly injured. The mission should have been accomplished.

Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly appeared, there were no less than hundreds of monks, and it seemed that they had been ambushed. The leader was extremely powerful and strong, with magical weapons in his hands, and he was very ruthless.

In just one hour, all the monks of Tenghai Peak were killed, and Lingmiao was injured. He was no match for the enemy and could only throw away the Red Eagle Feather and escape.

Chen Hai frowned: "Then Senior Sister, do you know who did it?"

Lingmiao nodded first.

He shook his head again: "I'm not sure; but in short, whether you are inside or outside the gate recently, you must be careful, and it's best to go in groups."

As he spoke, he handed a jade talisman to everyone and said, "If there is a crisis, crush the jade talisman. If we are close, I may be able to save you. If we are far away, I can't do anything."

"Is it because the time for selecting the true disciples is approaching, so the fellow disciples did this?" Ji Yuan suddenly asked.

Ling Miao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I am not sure who those people are, but it must have been done by our fellow disciples."

There are different lineages within the religion and competition is extremely fierce.

To exchange spells, one can only do so on one's own mountain, or exchange them from the sect at a high price; don't even think about exchanging a single thing from other magic lineages.

When Xuanwei disciples from different factions meet each other outside, it is considered good if they don't fight each other or try to trick each other.

Especially since the time for selecting the true disciples in the inner sect is approaching.

The number of true disciples is limited, with only a few hundred or a thousand people in each generation. However, there are more than 100,000 inner disciples and thousands of peak sects.

Zhenren Lingmiao gave everyone some instructions again, and that was almost enough to explain the main business. He then arranged everyone's duties in the peak.

Some may guard the Spirit Medicine Courtyard, some may guard the entrance to the peak; some may go to the Cold Pond to refine the essence and hand it over to the sect in exchange for merit. There are few cultivators in Tenghai Peak now, and everyone has a task.

Ji Yuan also took the opportunity to stand up and report that he was going to the Sutra Repository to proofread the scriptures.

"Oh? Deacon of scripture proofreading? In that case, Junior Brother Lingbao can be relieved of his duties." Ling Miao nodded and agreed immediately.

Ji Yuan served as the school manager, and his status rose significantly; he also had the capital to leave Teng Haifeng at any time.

He also has great magical powers. I think this kind of person is the target of all the peaks to win over, and he cannot be compared with ordinary Tenghai monks.

Chen Hai's cave was arranged and the matter was dealt with.

The banquet was over and everyone returned to their caves. Ji Yuan also said goodbye to Chen Hai and returned to his own Wuyou Rock.

……

After everyone had left, only Master Lingmiao and his disciple were left in the huge Tenghai Palace.

"Master, I told you not to worry. Uncle Ji must have profound magical powers and Taoist power. With his help, he can defeat the previous three hundred people." Yu Qi raised his head proudly, hugging Lingmiao's arms and said.

Speaking of Ji Yuan, Yu Qi's face was filled with admiration.

She felt that, that was apart from the master.

The most powerful person.

He has great skills and magical powers, but he is also approachable and does not put on airs.

Unlike the others, who only have insignificant magical powers, he relies on his seniority and acts like an uncle, and even dares to order her, Lady Yuqi, around.

She, Yu Qi, is the direct disciple of the Peak Master and the chief steward of Tenghai Palace. In terms of status, she is second only to the Peak Master, and her magical powers are much higher than those people.

She thought it was better for the old guys to die.

Now there are only two people who can order her around.

One is naturally the most "senior" master, Lingbao, whom he likes and admires very much.

There is another one, that is naturally the master.

Eh… don’t mention it; Master and Uncle-Master are really a good match… I’ll try to bring them together later. Yu Qi thought so.

"Bang!" Yu Qi was hit hard on the head and screamed in pain, covering his head.

"What are you thinking?"

“Nothing…nothing…” Yu Qi covered his head and looked at his master with flickering eyes.

"You are just a little girl, but you have flickering eyes all day long, look vulgar, and giggle all the time. How disgraceful." Lingmiao was still so serious.

"Master, I'm just thinking about Uncle Lingbao." Yu Qi didn't care. She was used to it.

"What you said just now is right. That spiritual treasure is indeed full of spiritual energy."

Lingmiao said, changing the subject: "But, he is much stronger than you think, unfathomable, terrifying, like a tiger in a cage."

"Hey, he's one of our family, so the stronger he is, the better."

"Ouch! Master, why are you hitting me again?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

"That's not what you just said."

"It's just talk; I just want them to serve me wholeheartedly. What family? In the entire Tenghai Palace, only you and I can be considered family."

Yu Qi curled her lips when she heard that.

"You should keep an eye on the Lingbao Taoist from now on. His methods are far beyond your imagination, but he is lurking in Tenghai. I don't know if he is good or evil, so you and I have to be cautious."

"Master Lingbao is a good guy. I also think he is a fierce tiger in the cage, cute and scary. But I think as long as you don't provoke him, he will never provoke you." Yu Qi nodded, a gleam in her eyes.

"Master, if the two of you were to fight, who do you think would win?"

Ling Miao thought without hesitation: "If he hadn't been injured by the fire, it would have been a piece of cake for me to control him. Now, it should be 70% to 30%, 70% for me and 30% for him."

"What...you and he will share the family property 70% and 30% respectively in the future?" Yu Qi, who was distracted at the time, did not think twice.

"Ah... Master, please spare my life... I won't dare anymore!!" Yu Qi's wailing voice came from Tenghai Palace.

.........

Flying back with the wind, I keep my mind focused and contemplative.

The originally blue-red Samadhi Fire turned into deep red after refining the Emperor Sui's treasure.

Moreover, he continued to absorb the mysteries contained therein, and combined them with the true talisman of the [Eight Trigrams Furnace], transforming them into densely packed, almost invisible, tiny fiery red talismans that circulated throughout.

“The Samadhi Fire is about to be perfected! It has the extreme temperature and the properties of being inextinguishable by water and burning everything. But there is still a little bit missing!” Ji Yuan had a thought.

During this period, whether walking, sitting or lying down, he was practicing the Samadhi Fire. As he continued to refine the Suihuang treasure, the mystery of the Samadhi Fire had accumulated to the extreme.

Just a little bit more and there will be a complete qualitative change.

"This trace is like a chasm, but it is not far away. Once it is truly achieved, it will have supreme power and become my strongest magical power!!"

“Only then can it be called Samadhi True Fire, the innate fire that can refine all things and burn the Bagua furnace as easy as pie.” Many visions flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind.

I thought of Lingmiao Zhenren, whose face looked a little pale.

"Ling Miao is stronger than I thought. He is as strong as Jian Dao Ren, Hong Xiu, and Long Li Zi, only inferior to Tai Chi Zhenren."

"But he has been infected with some stubborn fire poison. I'm afraid he can only exert 60% or 70% of his magic power."

"This Jurchen is a good drinker. His alcohol tolerance is several or even dozens of times greater than mine. He is truly a hero and should not be underestimated."

Of course, the premise is that Ji Yuan does not use Samadhi Fire.

With the use of Samadhi Fire, the impurities in the body will be burned into ashes in an instant. Not to mention drinking a hundred jars of water, even if it's from four seas, it's just to quench your thirst.

[Bagua Furnace] is not only a treasure, but also a magical power and a great way. It is truly full of mysteries.

Externally, it can be transformed into the Fire of the Six Dings to burn magic weapons, and it can also be transformed into the Fire of Li to refine elixirs.

Internally, it can be like a furnace, constantly refining the body, strengthening the tendons and bones, burning the blood into mercury, and forging the qi into lead; the essence is the furnace, the qi is the firewood, the spirit is the fire, and the man is the elixir.

Remove impurities from the body and refine the golden essence until all the 129,600 acupoints, hairs, tendons and bones in the body are refined thoroughly.

It’s just that Ji Yuan has practiced the Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons, and his physique has become very strong. The current change is very subtle and not obvious yet.

But if this continues for a long time, the change will be amazing.

The comparison between the inside and the outside is the great way.

When the elixir is finally completed, Ji Yuan cannot predict what the effect will be.

This is the most mysterious, profound, potential-bound, and powerful true mythological treasure that Ji Yuan has come into contact with since he obtained the mythological atlas.
