Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"Sixth level spiritual roots..."

Although she had been prepared to be "stabbed in the back", the Peony Fairy's move was still beyond the expectations of the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat.

The sixth level spiritual root, even though it is only the sixth level, in terms of value, it is not as good as the golden jade plate Longzhi of Master Ziyang, and it is even inferior to the dragon inner elixir of Chunjun Sword Master and Dapeng King.

Because it is a spiritual root, not a spiritual object.

The difference between spiritual objects and spiritual roots is like an egg and a hen. If the egg cannot be hatched, it is a disposable item and will be gone after you eat it.

As long as the hen does not die, it will continue to produce energy. In this way, the value can be imagined. Even a seventh-level boutique spiritual object like the Golden Jade Dragon Zhi is slightly inferior to it.

Not to mention……

"This immortal evergreen tree is not only the sixth-order spiritual root, but also the heart of longevity in the sixth-order spiritual root."

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, this tree can live for millions of years. It will not age or die, will not wither and decay, and can even form everlasting evergreen fruits. It is an innate life-extending spiritual thing. Even the Mahayana immortals can extend their lives for thousands of years, and they can take at most Ten pieces equals a life span of ten thousand years.”

"The Baihua Valley is filled with immortals of plants and trees. Their longevity is far longer than that of human beings. The Peony Fairy found this evergreen tree, obviously for the Zhenyuan Great Immortal. She was afraid that he would dabble in hundreds of arts too much and delay his basic cultivation, so he tried his best to extend his life. "

"Beauties are kind, beauties are kind!"

"..."

Everyone at the foot of the mountain was talking a lot, but the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat could only turn a deaf ear and restart their steps and step into the temple.

It is reasonable for Fairy Peony to be so grand. After all, Zhen Yuanzi saved the vitality spring that Baihua Valley regards as his life. It is natural to express gratitude to each other. Others in the future should not...

"Lord Chushan of Chushan, send me a fifth-level spiritual root and a mirage dragon vine!"

"Lord Tulu, Lord Lu, I will give you a fifth-level spiritual beast, a dragon earthworm!"

"Master Huang Yarong, send me the fifth-level spiritual root..."

"Xueling Fairy Qin, send me the fifth-level spiritual root..."

The sound of singing caused the two of them to stop again, their eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.

what's the situation?

Like Ziyang Zhenren, it is enough to take out seventh-order spiritual objects and sixth-order spiritual roots. After all, he is a Mahayana immortal and has a strong family. But what will happen next? He also takes fifth-order spiritual roots as a gift when he is combined. Nanzhan Department Are the monks in the state so wealthy?

If it were Xiniu Hezhou, an ordinary small Buddhist sect with a combined force, there would only be a few fifth-level spiritual roots in the sect as the basis for production and inheritance, and there was no time to care for them, let alone give them away.

Isn't it just an alchemy gathering, listening to sutras, talking about Dharma, and entertaining some elixirs? As for the fifth-level spiritual roots giving gifts?

What's more important is, how do you and I get along with each other if you give us this gift? If we combine together, we will give you a fifth-level spiritual root, and if you give Mahayana a fifth-level Buddha treasure, should we give it to both of you together...

Even though the two of them are already respected Arhats, with profound Buddhist teachings and extraordinary cultivation, they still feel hot in the face at this moment.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with others will lead to throwing away. Some things are just afraid of comparison!

But now, regrets are useless. You can't go back and add more money, you can only bite the bullet and move forward.

The scene inside is the same as before, with some changes. There are tables and chairs arranged beside the spiritual root tree. Some sit alone, some sit around round tables, and the formations are mysterious. The space is strange, and everywhere feels like the center. They are all in front, and you can see the main seats of the central government.

There are seven seats in total, one seat in the center and six seats on the left and right, which seems to correspond to the number of Mahayana.

Master Ziyang stood in front and did not sit down at the table. Seeing this, the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat also slowed down a little to wait.

After a while, I saw a person coming, wearing a Taiqing crown and neon robe, holding a fly whisk, walking in all directions.

"Congratulations to fellow Taoist, you have achieved immortality and hope for eternal life!"

Seeing the rightful master coming, Master Ziyang and others came to greet him one after another, laughing and congratulating him.

The Peony Fairy at the rear also moved forward, and in an instant passed the cloth-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat, and came to Xu Yang: "Congratulations to the elder brother on entering the Mahayana. May the elder brother enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven."

"ha!"

Xu Yang smiled, answered the words, and greeted everyone: "Fellow Taoists, I'm here to see the splendor of the peppercorns."

"Fellow Taoist Zhenyuan was just joking. After some talk today, he asked me to wait and see."

"The number of nine and nine is the calamity of heaven's punishment. The wind is gentle and the clouds are calm. You can pass it with a wave of your hand."

"That old crow and a few old ghosts are standing outside. I wonder what color it is?"

"Back then, he stormed Wanshou Mountain, but was severely beaten and repelled by his Taoist friends. This time, he was entangled with demons and evil spirits and came side by side. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but he didn't know that his friends didn't give him a chance, so he could only flee like birds and beasts. It's really hilarious. .”

“Let’s record what happened today and ask them back later!”

A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, heating up the atmosphere, and then turned their attention to the slightly embarrassed two Buddhists.

Seeing this, the Bagai Arhat and the Tota Arhat also stepped forward at the right time: "Amitabha, Ingeda, and Supintuo congratulate fellow Taoists on entering the Mahayana."

"It turns out to be Venerable Budai and Venerable Tota from the West."

Xu Yang smiled, not arrogantly, but treated him politely: "The presence of these two venerable men is indeed a glorious sight for a poor man. Please come and take a seat."

"this……"

Hearing this, both of them hesitated. They felt that the seat was uncomfortable, but they had no choice but to say humbly: "How dare we, such ungrateful people, sit at the top of the table? It is an honor to sit with you at the bottom of the table."

"The two venerables were joking."

Xu Yang shook his head, and without getting too entangled, turned to Master Ziyang and others: "Then please invite all fellow Taoists to take a seat."

"please!"

Master Ziyang smiled and sat down at the table, occupying the three seats in the left column. The Peony Fairy sat at the top of the right column, leaving the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat in the second and last seats.

In this way, the seven Mahayana people have all taken their seats.

At this time, outside the temple, the sound of singing had reached its end, and a group of cultivators filed in and took their seats.

Although there are hundreds of people, there is no crowding, let alone alienation, because the magical formation makes the space mysterious, and everyone feels that they are in the center, under the Mahayana seat.

Xu Yang also stood up, faced everyone, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, come to see me, the five villages are full of flowers and flowers. Today is the Danyuan meeting, and we will participate in the Dharma of the Tao. The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, let's have a banquet!"

"yes!"

Qingfeng Mingyue bowed and left, and then saw a group of disciples, Taoist boys, maids, etc. filing in, arriving at the banquet, and offering melons and fruits, wine and vegetables, refreshments, beans and other items, all of which were full of inspiration and fragrance. Tangy.

"Um!"

The Bagai Arhat glanced around and saw that most of these spiritual objects were in the third and fourth levels. Although they were considered precious, they were far from meeting the standards of a "grand event".

What is an event?

Not to mention the Peach Blossom Society in Heaven and the Bon Bon Society in Buddhism, even an ordinary grand ceremony of cultivating the world must have fifth-level spiritual objects on the stage, or even sixth-level objects to hold the place, so that it can be worthy of the title of " The word "grand event".

Now this Alchemy Society can only be regarded as...

"Shang Dan!"

Xu Yang smiled and gave the order. A group of Taoist maids shuttled between the banquets and placed jade boxes on the table.

"This is……"

Everyone looked at the jade box and saw the expectation, but it was difficult to open it, so they could only turn their eyes to the chairman's seat and wait for Xu Yang's words.

Xu Yang smiled and said, "I know a little about the art of alchemy and cauldron, and it happened to be that the Wanshou fruit tree in the backyard was blooming and bearing fruit, so I knocked it down, took the energy of hundreds of grasses, thousands of flowers, and thousands of trees, and combined it with the essence of heaven and earth." , the brilliance of the sun and the moon, was refined in the fire for seventy-seven forty-nine days, and finally got a pill called Cao Huan!"

"Grass for elixir?"

Master Ziyang stroked his long beard and said, "Thousands of trees are full of spirit, and hundreds of herbs are able to return elixirs. How wonderful, how wonderful!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes shone, and they looked at the jade box on the table with an expectant expression.

The Longevity Tree is the sixth-level spiritual root that was used to refine the medicine for King Dapeng as mentioned earlier.

Just take the vitality and refine it into elixirs, and there will be six levels of numbers that can cure Mahayana injuries. Then the spiritual fruit formed by blooming flowers, combined with hundreds of grasses, thousands of flowers, thousands of trees, and the grass refined in the furnace of the essence of the sun and moon can also be Dan…

Xu Yang smiled and continued: "This time, the Longevity Tree yielded thirty pieces. I knocked down all of them, and combined them with hundreds of grasses, thousands of flowers, and the essence of ten thousand trees to refine them in nine furnaces. I got a total of nine furnaces of elixirs, so I specially opened this elixir. At the meeting, I invite all fellow Taoists to come and taste it together.”

"this……!"

As soon as these words came out, Bagai Arhat and Tota Arhat immediately frowned.

Everyone raised their eyes and looked at the jade box on the table, unable to hide their expectations.

"Under the great reputation, there is no falsehood!"

"Senior Zhenyuan is still so generous!"

"Looking south now, no one knows, no one knows, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang, Wanshou Mountain, not only hates evil as much as an enemy, and does not tolerate evil, but he is also generous, willing to do good, eager to do justice, and he is respected by everyone. A man is only one foot long, but if you have any friendship with him, you will never suffer any loss."

"The nine-furnace grass returns the elixir, and there will be a banquet for all the immortals at the meeting. Today's elixir meeting will surely become a good story in the south!"

"No wonder Master has been working so hard during this period, running around, to find a fifth-level spiritual root as a gift. According to the methods of Zhenyuan Great Immortal, this Herb Returning Pill must be of extraordinary good fortune. The gift does not have much weight, how can you have the shame to sit there? Want to eat and drink?”

"Isn't there a Buddhist school, a majestic Mahayana, and two Arhats? They just gave me a fifth-level treasure. Thanks to their thick skin, they can still sit at the table. If it were me, I would have hidden my face and left."

"..."

The minds of the people were intertwined, and the voices of admiration made the faces of the Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat on the Mahayana seats get hot.

Although they didn't use his mental powers, they could guess what everyone was talking about in private at this time.

Again, for many things, I am afraid of comparison. When comparing one to one, the gap will be exciting and difficult to accept.

Now it's the same thing. If you want to show off this thing, you should have told me earlier. It has made it so embarrassing now. How to resolve it and how to step down?

The two had no choice but to turn a blind eye and listen but not hear.

However, Xu Yang did not give up and continued: "Three thousand pills can be obtained by refining in the furnace here, which can be divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Those with the upper grade are called Dahuan, ranked sixth level, and those with the middle grade are called Caohuan, ranked fifth level. , the lower-grade ones are Xiaohuan, which is the fourth level and is divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Practitioners take it accordingly, and it has the effect of prolonging life, increasing magic power, improving Taoism, and purifying spiritual roots."

"Longer life?"

"Increase mana?"

"Improving Taoism?"

"Purified spiritual roots?"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

The first three are not bad, there are such elixirs in the earthly immortal world.

But the final purified spiritual root...

The spiritual root is the great secret of the human body, the gateway to the unity of heaven and man. Even in the immortal world, there are only a few methods that can improve it, and they are extremely rare, so they cannot be widely used or promoted.

Now, this Zhenyuan Immortal has actually refined an elixir that can purify spiritual roots.

this……

Everyone's face was full of astonishment, and it was difficult to digest it for a while.

The Bag-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat frowned even more, feeling that the seats under them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Xu Yang ignored it and continued: "Although there are three thousand elixirs, the high-grade pills are limited, and the power of the medicine also needs to be refined and refined, so it can only be distributed in this way. Those who practice the combination will be sent to the high-grade ones to return, and those who are returning to the void will be assigned. Those who are cultivators of spiritual transformation will be sent back with medium-grade herbs, and those who are cultivators of spiritual transformation will be sent back with lower-grade herbs, so that we can enjoy the elixir together."

After saying that, he cast his gaze and looked at the crowd: "Fellow Taoists, do you think this is inappropriate?"

“Senior’s spirit has shocked the past and today!”

"The great immortal's measure is unmatched by anyone!"

"Brother Zhenyuan..."

Everyone in the audience, including Yi Qian, was moved when they heard this.

The fifth-level spiritual root was used as a congratulatory gift in exchange for the sixth-level elixir. It seemed like he was working hard without losing money.

But the account cannot be settled like this. Everyone who came to the meeting today did not bring a family member. Behind a fusion body, there are often several descendants who have returned to the void and transformed into gods. Now they have to be divided. In addition, this grass returns elixir. Extraordinary value...

Not to mention making a lot of money, but at least the returns from Wuzhuangguan are far greater than their investment and efforts.

Sure enough, this Zhenyuan Great Immortal, as rumored by the outside world, people respect him a foot, and he respects others a foot.

At the next Danyuan meeting, you must come with heavy gifts. You must not be like those two bald donkeys. They are Mahayana bodies and arhats. They give you a low-grade immortal weapon. They are shameless, despicable and despicable. They cheat and drink. It is inappropriate. Son of man…

His generosity and courage won over people's hearts, causing everyone to change their stance, and his tendency became increasingly clear.

Although the cloth-bag Arhat and the Tota Arhat in the seat were well aware of this change in people's hearts, they were helpless and powerless.

What kind of Alchemy Meeting was this? It was clearly Wuzhuangguan's "Invitation to Buy People's Hearts Meeting". However, the two of them didn't know it. After listening to the old guy Yan Bao's suggestion from Master Ziyang, they fell into this pit and suffered a lot. torment.

If they had known this, they wouldn't have come.

No, no, no, if they could predict the future, they would reject this bad job at any cost!

Now it's okay. Before the matter of the Purple Golden Bell was even mentioned, it had already turned into a stranger inside and outside. Not only did it attract a lot of infamy, but it also allowed that person to win over people's hearts. How will the spread of Buddhism to the South proceed in the future?
