Chapter 39: Comprehensive View of the Creation of Ghosts
After reading "The Records of the Inner Sect", Wu Yi had a general understanding of the Yiqi Sect, or the Inner Sect. Unlike the outer sect disciples where Wu Yi was now, who were ranked according to seniority based on the order of their entry, there were true disciples and ordinary disciples in the inner sect.
Combined with the inner sect's true disciple competition mentioned by Wang Chuchen before, it seemed that he could try to challenge the position of true disciple in two years, but Wu Yi also saw in "The Records of the Inner Sect" that ordinary inner sect disciples were promoted to true disciples.
Could it be that the true disciple competition was actually a competition with ordinary inner sect disciples? Wu Yi thought in his heart and felt a little pressure.
Because ordinary inner sect disciples were promoted from outer sect disciples who had practiced for many years, they could not become true disciples overnight and could only choose to wait for their qualifications and wait until their cultivation was sufficient, of course, they were often at the foundation-building stage before they could enter the inner sect.
Every outer sect disciple could enter the inner sect every year to seek the method of the five changes after the nine changes of Qi Refining. If they did not set high standards for themselves, they could be promoted to the foundation-building stage after practicing the first four changes, but basically they would have no hope of true disciples.
Wu Yi guessed that the sect should have other arrangements for competing with a group of foundation-building cultivators for the true teachings.
In addition, what Wu Yi was most interested in was the story about Wang Chuchen. After all, it was written by the He Wei family to He Wei, and naturally there was more ink on Wang Chuchen, the master of Liucheng Yiqi Taoist Temple, to which He Wei currently belonged.
Now Wu Yi found out that Wang Chuchen was a true disciple, but for some reason he left the inner sect and became the master of the outer sect. The book did not mention the reason, but mentioned that three caves had extended an olive branch to Wang Chuchen. You should know that there are only five caves in the inner sect, which shows that Wang Chuchen's qualifications are valued.
However, this contradicts the fact that Wang Chuchen was excluded from the inner sect. After guessing for a long time, he could not come up with any name. After all, his strength was low, so Wu Yi let it go.
Even the three caves Wu Yi only knew the names at present. The only one he knew was Xuanming Cave Heaven, which he heard from other disciples last time. Yun Sa was the person of this cave heaven.
This book records more about what those disciples who have been promoted to the true teachings have done recently, what changes have taken place in the families behind them, and the disputes between the forces. Many of them are just rumors, which are not very useful to Wu Yi at present.
After all, Wu Yi has no intention of pleasing them. In fact, it can also roughly show the status of the He Wei family in the sect. Basically, there is no news about the first level of Jindan Zhenren. They are all disputes between disciples. If there are any, they are all known to everyone. Of course, it is also possible that He Wei is not good enough to obtain the gossip of Jindan Zhenren, so he hides it.
Putting the book aside, Wu Yi thought about his situation in the temple. Now the biggest threat to him is no longer the other professors and senior brothers. When Wang Chuchen finds out that he has comprehended the Tao rhyme, he will definitely protect him. Under the protection of Wang Chuchen, Wu Yi is confident that no one dares to test him like when he first came to the Yiqi Dao Temple in Liucheng.
Now the biggest threat to him is not knowing how to advance or retreat, and getting involved in the disputes in the inner sect early. There are many geniuses in the inner sect. Good qualifications do not necessarily make a name for themselves. Knowing the times is the most important thing. The influence of wealth, friends, laws and land on cultivators will only grow.
But Wang Chuchen's protection of him, to a certain extent, has already involved him in the inner sect disputes, and others will naturally regard him as a member of Wang Chuchen's faction.
"Perhaps this time the king's birthday can give us a glimpse of it." Wu Yi looked at the "Inner Sect Records", and his eyes seemed to see through the book the shift of the inner sect factions' struggles when many disciples gathered.
The biggest question is which side he should stand on to be the most suitable for him.
Not long after thinking, there was another knock on the door outside. Wu Yi estimated in his heart that Lin Li was here to deliver food.
As his cultivation progressed, his requirements for food became less and less, and he gradually fasted. Originally Lin Li delivered three meals a day, but now it has changed to once a day and once every three days. If he was in seclusion, he would not see a grain of rice or vegetables for days. As for going out, such as the previous trip to Dahuai Town, he did not eat for half a month. The opportunity for him to meet Lin Li became less and less.
Thinking of He Wei's suggestion to recruit strongmen servants, Wu Yi couldn't help thinking about Lin Li and his son. As the people he had intended to recruit and subdue when he first entered the sect, he had not found anything unusual after so long. When he was blocked on the way to deliver food, he would rather go to the back mountain and walk with the beasts. He was loyal to his promise.
When he opened the door, it was not Lin Li, but a strongman with a stern face, also carrying a lunch box.
Seeing the defensive look in Wu Yi's eyes, before Wu Yi could ask, the strongman said: "The master of the temple asked me to be responsible for the Taoist priest's meals in the future."
After looking the strongman up and down, Wu Yi nodded, took the lunch box, and didn't even let him in.
The strongman didn't say much, picked up the empty lunch box and left. It was good that he was not beaten out by Wu Yi on their first meeting. At least he was willing to accept his lunch box. Wu Yi's current reputation in the sect also made him dare not be presumptuous.
After bringing in the lunch box, Wu Yi ordered the demon to absorb the essence of the food. The demon shriveled up the food after it spun around it. It looked like ordinary food, and there was nothing unusual about it. It seemed that there was no poison or anything like that.
Although this warrior claimed to be sent by the temple master, if those professors wanted to fight to the death and made up a story to harm him, Wu Yi had to be on guard. After all, if they pushed all the responsibility onto this warrior, Wu Yi would have no place to argue. At most, he could push a disciple to be a scapegoat.
The immortal path has many calamities. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you want to advance, you will inevitably block the way of others. You will inadvertently make enemies with many people. Generally speaking, these grudges will disappear naturally when your cultivation level increases rapidly. Most of the time, when your cultivation level is no longer there, some villains who usually cling to you will add insult to injury.
Although Wu Yi has not shown any signs of decline yet and is still on the rise, it is always good to be more cautious. Anyway, food is dispensable for him at present, and he can't fall into the gutter.
However, if Wang Chuchen really sent someone to deliver food to him, he would pay more attention to him and prevent Wu Yi from being assassinated. He sent his close people. Wu Yi was naturally grateful for Wang Chuchen's kindness, but he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of Lin Li and his son.
Wu Yi was not afraid of being threatened, but he wanted to have a clear conscience and his words and deeds were in line with his heart.
After thinking for a while, Wu Yi gave up the idea of recruiting Lin Li and his son as his personal assistants. After all, he had too many secrets, and it was not good to be seen by people around him. He would talk about it after the inner sect passed on the true teachings.
"Just pass on the Turtle Snake Breathing Technique to Lin Li!" Wu Yi finally made this decision. First, the Turtle Snake Breathing Technique was something he had comprehended by himself, and he was not restricted by the sect's prohibition of privately passing on the Taoist method. Moreover, after he practiced this technique, it was indeed effective in breathing, but if it could not be used to run the small Zhoutian route, it was just a technique to strengthen the body.
Lin Li and his men were just ordinary strongmen, and they were far inferior to those guardians. Even if he completed it privately, he might not be able to keep the technique and it would be taken away by others.
Even if Lin Li became a guardian in the future, he would be much faster than ordinary people in practicing this breathing technique, and it could also repair the hidden injuries in the body.
Many strongmen simply pursued the power of protecting the law when they were kept by Taoist priests, without considering health and longevity. Many hidden injuries were left in their bodies, resulting in the early death of most strongmen. Once the golden years were over, they would be abandoned by Taoist priests. This was the fate of most strongmen.
Wu Yi was not able to take care of so many things. He had done his best to find an opportunity to send the skills to Lin Li.
After dealing with a matter, Wu Yi could not guarantee perfection, but he wanted to have a clear conscience. Now his body and mind were clear, his thoughts were pure, and his connection with the Taoism was deepened.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Wu Yi thought about it, and suddenly visualized the stone tablet in the real world. Now he could control the size of the stone tablet. It was impressive to have it three feet long, but the mental consumption was also amazing, and it could not be supported for long.
The stone tablet appeared, and black fog naturally lingered around. It was Yin Qi, but this Yin Qi was not visualized by Wu Yi, but seemed to be brought by the stone tablet. It was very strange that the stone tablet was visualized by Wu Yi, but the Yin Qi had nothing to do with Wu Yi. It was just the fact that the stone tablet seemed to communicate with inexplicable laws in the dark, evolving mysteriously and giving birth to Yin Qi.
Wu Yi could not see the involvement behind it, and just thought it was brought by the technique, and did not take it to heart. The reason why he visualized the stone tablet was to make up the ten spirit ghosts that were annihilated by the inner demon before.
Under the impact of the previous two kinds of Tao rhyme, all ten spirit ghosts perished, which made Wu Yi heartbroken for a long time. Every time he created a spirit ghost, he had to visualize countless fierce ghosts. The fierce ghosts fought and devoured each other to give birth to spirit ghosts, just like refining Gu.
But this disaster also made Wu Yi realize the power of Tao rhyme, and began to understand why Wang Chuchen valued him. The power of Tao rhyme is really a heaven-defying existence under the golden elixir.
Although these ten ghosts were born with inadequacies and were inferior to the real ghosts born from heaven and earth in all aspects, it was more than enough for the demon to fight three of them alone, and it was not inferior to five of them. But after all, they were not lonely ghosts like the evil ghosts, and they had magical powers, so they should not be underestimated.
The power of the Dao rhyme hitting each other made Wu Yi amazed. How to achieve unparalleled power with a single Dao rhyme was also one of Wu Yi's current cultivation directions. However, the great way of tranquility he had comprehended did have a great effect on his mind, but once he left the range of the spiritual battle, the effect could only be reflected in not being disturbed by the opponent's words and momentum, which made Wu Yi very distressed.
As Wu Yi continued to visualize, evil ghosts appeared around the stone tablet. At first, they were all hazy yin energy, and then they spontaneously absorbed the yin energy around the stone tablet. The evil ghosts gradually took shape, and all kinds of them appeared. Then Wu Yi made them fight each other.
Controlling the battle between dozens or hundreds of ghosts at one time consumes a lot of energy, and it is also necessary to ensure that there is a duel between two ghosts, and there must not be a situation where the weak attack the strong. Fortunately, Wu Yi has experienced such scenes several times and has some experience.
When there were only a dozen ghosts left, the body of a fierce ghost suddenly became thick and black, and the fierce ghost confronting it was frightened and trembled, crawling motionlessly. The ghost created in this way was promoted very quickly, and when it woke up, it swallowed the ghost in front of it in one bite.
Wu Yi nodded secretly, yes, one was promoted successfully so early, according to the usual experience, there should be two ghosts today, and sure enough, another ghost was born soon.
Only two ghosts can be born from dozens or hundreds of ghosts, and this is still relatively lucky, and most of the time nothing is gained. At this time, Wu Yi was already pale and sweating. After sending the two ghosts into the stone tablet, Wu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and it was considered completed.
But Wu Yi did not stop to rest after creating the spirit ghosts. There were still many evil spirits left in the stone tablet from the previous visualization. They were originally controlled by the ten spirit ghosts. Now that all ten spirit ghosts have died, they need to redivide their spheres of influence. The fights between ghosts are also fierce. If they are not careful, the spirit ghosts will die. He needs to go in to adjust.
