clang--!

The big bronze bell in the temple suddenly rang. Zhu Boan did not dare to delay and quickly got up and went out.

Although it is still far from dawn, the people in the temple practice extremely diligently, and it is already time for morning classes every day.

The young man came to a very spacious square and sat down on a futon near the corner.

After saying hello to a few familiar Luoyang orphans, he stopped talking and quietly observed the movements in the field.

In addition to the orphans plundered from all over the place, you can also see various mixed scenes of monks, Taoists and secular people here from time to time.

On the surface it looks like a temple, but in fact it is not a serious place for Buddhist practice at all.

"I heard from those 'senior brothers' who came earlier that Shifo Temple is the dojo of the 'Tao of Inanimate Life'.

My father had mentioned casually before that this sect was the biggest traitor in the world, and once it got stuck to it by accident, it would be impossible to get rid of it.

It’s just that they captured so many children and asked them to practice the [Golden Elixir Avenue]. What are they doing?

If it's just to satisfy the appetite like those monsters, why bother to go to such trouble?"

The courtyard where Zhu Boan is located is the "Guihao Courtyard" at the bottom of the Ten Heavenly Stems, indicating that there are at least nine other courtyards of similar size.

Altogether, there are at least several thousand orphans.

Zhu Boan deliberately inquired that these orphans were not only brought here since the first day of August.

Instead, they had begun to gather many years ago, but they were not as concentrated as this time.

Therefore, many of the senior “brothers” in this courtyard who practice [Jindan Dao] have advanced practices!

Ding!

A monk with a fat head and big ears, sitting on a high platform, tapped the jade chime beside him with a small hammer.

Then he began to teach the Dharma to these young men and women who had just been "initiated" for three days, and the voice clearly reached everyone's ears:

"The so-called [Jinhua] is the 'innate Qi' in the human body. A person will die without Qi, and a fish will die if it leaves the water, so"

After all, Zhu Bo'an was a son of an official who had read books and had contact with "orthodox" Taoism, and his receptive ability was far superior to that of other children.

The name of this golden elixir path taught by the "Tao of Wusheng" is actually called [Jinhua Condensing Alchemy Method].

Use the "popularity" that everyone has as the foundation to refine and practice.

Among them, the "innate Qi" that children still retain is the most precious and important part of popularity, called - [Jinhua].

The only "commandment and taboo" is that only virgins under the age of fifteen who still maintain their virginity can practice it.

As you get older, your "innate Qi" will completely dissipate, and you will be unable to practice even if you want to.

The [Golden Flower Condensation Method] is to condense the [Golden Flower] in the human body, repeatedly refine it with the internal refining method, and finally turn it into an internally refined [Golden Pill].

Monk Lingxing continued to explain, and all the disciples below were fascinated and fascinated.

The first stage of this method is called [Golden Flower Breathing]. At this stage, the practitioner will feel as drunk as a bath, with yang and harmony all over his body. He will gradually become addicted to the practice and even forget to eat and sleep.

The second stage is called [Jin Hua Zheng Fang]. You can clearly feel a round lump of warm energy in your Dantian. Sometimes you can't tell whether you are a human being or the warm energy in your belly.

The third stage is called [Jinhua Da Ning]. The body is as soft as cotton, warm as jade, with its own fragrance, and is so light that it seems like it can float up at any time.

All the essence, energy, and spirit of the body have been completely transferred to a [Golden Pill] in the abdomen. That [Golden Pill] is the true body and the essence of the human body's essence!

At this moment, Zhu Boan suddenly heard the young man who had just started practicing today ask doubtfully:

"Master, then why don't any miracles appear after you start practicing this Taoist method?"

Many children, regardless of their level of spiritual practice, can’t help but prick up their ears. This is also their doubt.

Just because this [Golden Flower Condensing Pill Technique], no matter what stage it is practiced, will not produce any magical powers, it cannot even make the body stronger, run faster, or have more strength.

Except for having an extra "elixir", he is no different from a mortal.

There is no way to prove to mortals that one has become a "god"!

The fat monk on the high platform laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, disciples, don't worry.

This golden elixir avenue leads directly to the immortal gate. When the golden elixir reaches its peak, you will naturally transform into a holy fetus, and you will be reborn in the form of a heavenly being and reach heaven in one step!

What's the point of a mere mortal's divine passage method?"

Everyone else was in high spirits, thinking about the bright future after being reborn as a heavenly being. Only Zhu Boan felt a chill in his bones.

Originally, he felt that this [Jindan Avenue] was most likely not a good path.

Until I heard the theory of a fetus transformed into a baby, and contrasted it with the "Holy Infant Pill" mentioned by Taoist Taoists.

Only then did I understand what the real "Holy Infant Pill" is!

These young children are actually just the raw materials for "Holy Infant Pill".

The process of practicing the inner elixir method [Golden Flower Condensing Pill Method] is the process of training oneself into a "Holy Infant Pill".

Isn't the "inner elixir" that I have practiced just an "outer elixir" for others to swallow?

Just when Zhu Bo'an was panicking, he suddenly saw Monk Lingxing on the stage with a cold face:

"However, the Shifo Temple will carefully cultivate only the seeds of cultivation, and the good food and vegetables in the temple will not support those who are not enterprising.

Come on, Duan Yangyun and Huang Hongcai failed the assessment this month and will be expelled!"

Two young men in the courtyard who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly turned pale, and they knelt down and knelt down to beg for mercy:

"No, Master, please give me another chance!"

"Expelling us from the temple means we are going to die. Master, please show mercy!"

According to the rules of the temple, based on age and practice time limit, if you are unable to achieve success in practice, you will be expelled from the temple and left to fend for yourself.

In the year of great disaster, being able to eat and drink for free at Shifo Temple without having to work is simply a life like a fairy.

If they were expelled, they might not even be able to survive.

However.

No matter how much they begged for mercy, it was in vain. Other close disciples of Ziyouxing with higher "cultivation level" dragged them out.

"Other disciples should take them as a warning and practice hard in order to live up to such a great opportunity! Let's go."

"Yes, Master!"

Unlike the others who were trembling with fear, Zhu Boan, who had been thinking hard about his way out, saw his eyes light up at this moment.

This seems to be a shortcut to escape from the "Stone Buddha Temple"!

So after the show ended, he immediately stood up and followed the pushing and shoving people.

However, because he was not familiar with the road, he followed them from a distance but went further and further off track, and soon lost track of them.

When I was at my wits end, I suddenly heard the voices of several people talking from the bushes behind me.

"It's comfortable. I feel like I've made further progress in my third stage of [Jinhua Daming]. I should be able to try to transform a baby into a baby soon! Hahaha."

"Senior brother, it is said that those orphans from Luoyang were nourished by the water and soil from the source of the Yanhan Dragon Vein, and a few of them carry a faint trace of dragon energy.

By harvesting the "innate Qi" from their bodies, one can absorb this trace of dragon energy into the body and cultivate it into a [Golden Pill] of the highest quality.

Do we want it?”

"Yes! Why don't you want it?! Dragon energy is a waste on them!"

"But, you said that we stole this 'method of stealing Qi' from the master and used these wastes to cultivate our own [Golden Elixir].

Will Master be angry if he finds out?"

Zhu Boan's heart skipped a beat when he heard "Luoyang Orphan" and "The Method of Stealing Qi".

Slowly peeling back the leaves of a small tree, he saw Duan Yangyun and Huang Hongcai lying on the ground, their skins pale and lifeless.

The four senior brothers who were still standing turned their attention to him at the same time.

The lips were red, as if they were stained with blood. They slowly formed a strange smile and said in unison:

"Can't we just not let him know?"

The sky is getting brighter, and the morning light is falling slightly.

Hejin County, Longmen Mountain.

The mountain is divided into two parts by the raging dragon-like Zhuohe River. The two cliffs are as sharp as a knife, forming a huge stone gate dozens of feet high.

When the Zhuohe River reaches this point, the yellow waves are rolling, rushing out of the "gate", and flowing thousands of miles away, like a mountain or boiling water.

If a mortal stood in front of it, his soul would seem to be shaken by the huge waves, swept away, and never return.

The other side of Longmen Mountain.

The mountain is undulating, with pine waves like the sea, and one or two redbud flowers growing occasionally, so it is also called Bauhinia Mountain and Bijia Mountain.

On the stone-paved mountain path, a young man in a green shirt with a sword at his waist was climbing up the stairs.

His steps were light, as if he could soar into the sky with just a little bit of mountain mist. He looked extraordinary at first glance.
