I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

Looking at the world after the thunder, Jiang Wen withdrew his consciousness from Dao Ancestor's body. His main body was sitting cross-legged in the room, a sense of dizziness washing over him like a tide.

“Hiss.” Jiang Wen rubbed his swollen temples, relieving the splitting headache. He didn't expect that using the idol's function this time would bring such a heavy burden to his body.

“No wonder it can only be used after upgrading the idol.” Jiang Wen muttered. Feeling much better, he put on his Taoist robe and walked out of the room.

These days, Mo Xiang had been learning to cook in the kitchen, and she prepared breakfast in the Taoist temple. As soon as he went out, he met Mo Xiang, who was getting up, and Jiang Wen greeted her with a good morning.

“Did you sleep well yesterday?” Jiang Wen asked.

“Last night, the thunder was loud, and Little Sister was so scared that she didn't sleep all night.” Mo Xiang shook her head and said softly. “I don't know why, but suddenly there was such a loud thunder. It was like beating a big drum, making people feel panicked.”

“It should have been a thunderstorm.” Jiang Wen explained with an unchanged expression. He had caused the thunder yesterday, but he didn't feel anything when he possessed Dao Ancestor. He didn't expect it to cause such a commotion, keeping the two sisters up all night.

“You also didn't sleep all night, why don't you sleep a little longer?”

“I still have to prepare breakfast for Brother Jiang and Little Sister, so I can't sleep well.” Mo Xiang said with a smile in her gentle voice.

As for how powerful he is now, Jiang Wen is not very sure. He compared himself to Chang Mingzi and felt that he was far inferior.

“I'll take care of this, you go and rest.” Jiang Wen was a little embarrassed, feeling that Mo Xiang's sleepless night was his responsibility, so he wanted to make amends.

“Brother Jiang should go for his morning practice. Leave the breakfast to me. I'm always eating your food and living in your place, I can't do nothing, can I?”

But Mo Xiang refused his suggestion with a smile, picked up her skirt, and walked towards the kitchen.

According to Taoist teachings, he preliminarily divided himself into four realms: Refining Essence, Refining Qi, Refining Spirit, and Harmonizing with the Dao. And he himself is currently only in the Refining Essence realm.

A smile appeared on his face as he bowed to the girl. Then he kindly said, “May I ask which immortal sect this young lady is from? What brings you to my humble temple?”

These days, Jiang Wen has been sorting out all his belongings. One is the first volume of the 'Outer Landscape Scripture' from the Yellow Court Scripture. One is the Taoist 'Complete Book of Talismans', and the other is the Life Cultivation technique 'Heart Imprint Scripture'.

“I am Li Yunshang, a disciple of the Chengtian Division of the Tai Shen Palace. I heard of the great name of the Jingxu Temple, so I came here to visit.” The girl sat on the flying sword with her legs crossed, looking at Jiang Wen with curiosity in her eyes. She had been watching from the side for a long time, seeing that the Taoist's boxing technique was strange, she wanted to see more.

However, since having this golden core in his abdomen, every time he uses his magic power, he can gain mysterious benefits. Jiang Wen, who has used magic power, marvels at this. It can relieve fatigue, increase strength, activate talismans, and heal wounds. This is magic power.

Seeing her so determined, Jiang Wen didn't want to stop her. He knew that Mo Xiang was a somewhat strong-willed girl, otherwise, she wouldn't have sold herself to save her sister in the first place. Letting Mo Xiang prepare breakfast, he practiced Tai Chi in the dojo.

He can even vaguely feel that the wonderful uses of magic power are far more than that. It's just that he is new to this path and needs to explore more.

Before he could take a few steps, the girl's surprised voice came from his ear: “Are you the Taoist in this temple?”

After preliminarily distinguishing the realm he is in, Jiang Wen has a clear goal for the future path. His next step is to refine the golden core in his abdomen into a liquid state, achieving the perfection of Refining Essence into Qi.

These scriptures and techniques are the main things he cultivates. Not to mention the talismans, the stronger the magic power, the stronger the effect. The 'Heart Imprint Scripture' is an inner alchemy body refining technique, which can more comprehensively strengthen the body when combined with Tai Chi.

“A golden core comes from within, only today do I know who I am.” Jiang Wen hummed softly, preparing to change into more convenient clothes.

As for the 'Outer Landscape Scripture', the first volume is the technique of refining essence into qi. It allows spiritual energy to enter the body and circulate throughout the body, transforming into magic power and pouring into the sea of life.

Hearing this, Jiang Wen couldn't help but turn his head to look. He saw behind him a twin-ponytail girl wearing a goose-yellow dress standing on a flying sword. She lowered her head and curiously looked at Jiang Wen, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Jiang Wen looked inward at his abdomen and saw a mass of golden mist gathering in the dark, faintly glowing with golden light like the rising sun. This cloud of mist was about the size of a thumb, and it would dissipate if touched by consciousness. If left alone, it would gather again soon, which was truly magical.

“People from the immortal sect?” Jiang Wen immediately had this thought. He didn't know what this girl was doing in the temple, but he still raised some vigilance in his heart.

“The Outer Landscape Scripture says that only by transforming essence and qi into jade liquid can one be considered to have completed the refining of essence into qi. Does this mean that only when I transform this golden core into a liquid can I be considered to have completed the realm of refining essence into qi?” Jiang Wen pondered, and had a division of his current strength.

Through these days of cultivation, he found that nameless qi from outside poured into his body. Every time it circulates around his body, it can make the three dantian feel a trace of coolness. Especially the three inches below the navel, it is even more cool. The dantian is like hot tea entering the abdomen, and a warm feeling gathers in it.

In recent days, after diligently practicing the evolved Tai Chi, he felt that his body had gradually become stronger. The excess fat on his abdomen, which had not been exercised for a long time, disappeared, leaving a lean body. Even the stagnant cultivation began to make progress, which made him quite happy.

Although this Taoist temple is strange, there seems to be some kind of formation protecting it. However, for her, a genius disciple of the Tai Shen Palace, it is still very easy to enter.

“This poor Taoist is Jiang Wen, the abbot of this Taoist temple. Since you are a fellow Taoist from the immortal sect, this poor Taoist naturally welcomes you.” Jiang Wen said with a smile, putting away the Five Thunder Talisman in his sleeve. His uneasy heart also settled down, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the Taoist cultivation techniques, this must be the legendary golden core. The orthodox Taoist Qi refining technique is called the Golden Core Great Dao, as the saying goes: “A grain of spiritual pill swallowed into the abdomen, only then do I know that my life is not up to the heavens.” This spiritual pill refers to the golden core.

However, the Golden Core Great Dao is, after all, illusory, and there are no Taoists in the real world who can truly cultivate the Golden Core Great Dao. The technique used by Jiang Wen is derived from deduction, and it remains to be seen whether the golden core in his abdomen is real or fake.

He was just guarding against this girl becoming fierce, and his hand had been pinching the Five Thunder Talisman. But after hearing her say that she was a disciple of the Tai Shen Palace, he felt a lot more at ease.

Jiang Wen had encountered real people from the Tai Shen Palace before and knew that the Tai Shen Palace was the official sect of the Daqian Dynasty, and they should not do anything evil.

“Are you the abbot of this Taoist temple? How young.” Li Yunshang stared at Jiang Wen, surprised by his age. She had never heard of an abbot of this age.
