Chapter 182 Pill
The door of the Bajing Palace slowly opened, accompanied by a deep and distant creaking sound, like the ringing of a bell from ancient times, shaking the air and the tense heartstrings of the Sun God Cult members, as if every note was hitting their tense throats.
"It's the leader! The leader is back!"
The sounds of cheering and awe surged through the crowd like a spring breeze blowing through dry branches.
Zixia and her two companions slowly walked out of the palace's deep and unfathomable shadows, like the first rays of dawn, dispelling the surrounding haze. Seeing this, the tense nerves of the followers of the Sun God Cult finally relaxed, and they all knelt on the ground, bowed their heads devoutly, and expressed their supreme respect for the leader in the simplest way.
"Everyone, please stand up!" Zixia's voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the empty land in front of the Bajing Palace. She swept her eyes over the group of believers who were kneeling devoutly, frowned slightly, and revealed a sense of indifference. "My way of yin and yang emphasizes the way of nature and conforming to heaven and earth. There is no need for these cumbersome etiquette to decorate the facade."
There is an indescribable majesty and compassion in her words, as if to remind everyone that true practice lies in the purity of the heart and the harmony of nature, rather than the accumulation of external forms. Zixia, who is far away from Ye Fan, has reached the state of ruthlessness of the great way at this moment. She can face the disturbance and noise of the outside world with an almost indifferent calmness.
Ji Ziyue didn't care about these formalities. She moved lightly among the kneeling crowd, wearing a radiant purple dress, with her skirt swaying gently in the wind, as if she was carrying the fairy spirit of Bajing Palace, smart and elegant. She quickly came to Ah Xiu's side, gently hugged Xiao Tongtong, her eyes full of doting.
"Finally I see you again, my cute little kid!" Ji Ziyue looked down at the little baby in her arms who had obviously grown a lot, with a gentle smile on her lips, her voice soft and full of love. She couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and gently pinched the pink little nose of Xiao Tongtong.
Xiao Tongtong seemed to be amused by this sudden stimulation, or he smelled the strange smell on Ji Ziyue's body, he sneezed violently. This sneezed, and the strong solar energy contained in his body gushed out, turning into a ball of bright light, shining in the sky like a small sun, attracting a burst of amazement from the people around him.
Seeing this, Ji Ziyue's eyes flashed with surprise, which was then replaced by a smile.
Zixia witnessed this scene and secretly sighed in her heart: "The potential of the perfect sun body is really amazing. In addition, the solid foundation built by countless rare and precious medicines is really too strong, but everything will turn into the opposite extreme, and prosperity will decline. Too much is as bad as too little."
Afterwards, Zixia walked over slowly, and Yan Yixi followed closely behind her with steady steps, like a loyal guardian.
"Is this the legendary solar body?" Yan Yixi was amazed at the words, and just as she was about to continue, she saw Zixia had already made some movements. She spun her fingertips lightly, and the holy power of the moon quietly condensed, like the purest black in the sky, and began to write ancient characters in the void.
Nine profound and obscure ancient characters appeared one by one, each of which contained the truth of heaven and earth and emitted a profound light that made people's heart palpitate. When the last stroke of the ninth ancient character slowly fell, the whole pattern seemed to come alive, and then suddenly shrank and turned into an extremely tiny singular point. Zixia raised her hand lightly, and the singular point accurately and accurately landed on the tender abdomen of Xiao Tongtong.
An inexplicable chill suddenly invaded Tongtong's young heart. He instinctively let out a loud cry and tears flowed like a spring.
"What did you do to him?" Ji Ziyue asked nervously, with a hint of blame in her tone. Ah Xiu, who was standing by, was also worried. Although she had already embarked on the path of cultivation, she knew that the power of the moon and the power of the sun were naturally incompatible. Seeing Zixia directly injecting the power of the moon into Xiao Tongtong's body, she couldn't help but feel worried. If it weren't for her trust in Zixia, Ah Xiu would have been unable to hold back and would have stepped forward to protect her brother. Seeing this, Zixia smiled lightly and explained to the two of them, "His talent is too outstanding and needs to be suppressed appropriately to avoid being difficult to control in the future. At the same time, this is also planting a seed of unlimited potential in his body."
After saying that, Zixia looked at little Tongtong tenderly and comforted her softly: "Okay, Tongtong, don't cry. Try to feel that power with your mind, and then learn to suppress it, so that you won't feel uncomfortable."
Little Tongtong seemed to understand Zixia's words, his big eyes rolled around, and the warmth in his body rose again, gradually dispelling the coolness. He stopped crying, and his little face showed curiosity and determination, as if he was trying to do what Zixia taught.
"Goddess Ziyue! What's that smell on you? It smells so weird!" Ah Xiu wrinkled her nose curiously, with a hint of confusion and inquiry in her tone. Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue smiled dryly, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to Jiang Zixia who was standing beside her.
"Hey, isn't it our leader who has recently become obsessed with the ingenuity of alchemy? Unfortunately, his skills are still rusty. From time to time, due to the poor temperature, the Bajing Palace is filled with smoke, as if you are in a state of chaos!" Ji Ziyue lowered her voice, with a bit of ridicule and helplessness in her tone. She quietly leaned close to Ah Xiu's ear and whispered: "I heard that the leader is planning to use you as guinea pigs for drug testing! I advise you not to eat it. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until everyone else has tasted it, and then observe the reaction. After all, her alchemy fire is indescribably weird!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Aren't you afraid that I will throw you into the furnace and refine you for 9981 days?" Jiang Zixia glared at Ji Ziyue.
Ji Ziyue immediately fell silent. This woman with low moral standards was very curious and never acted according to common sense. If she really got angry and threw herself into the furnace to make elixir, she would not even have time to cry.
Then, Ji Ziyue cleared her throat, put on a smile, and announced loudly: "All the disciples of Yin-Yang Dao, come here quickly! The Dao sect will soon distribute the elixir. This elixir is extraordinary. After taking it, it will definitely help you to make further progress on the road of cultivation and feel the mystery and opportunity of the Great Dao!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone present showed joy on their faces and rushed forward. Everyone was happy to get a pill that exuded a faint Taoist charm. Only Ah Xiu, holding the pill in her hand, looked solemn and fell into deep thought. Although the conversation between the goddess and the leader just now did not deliberately avoid her, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. There must be a secret behind this pill that she didn't know. However, Ah Xiu knew that the leader would never harm them without reason. There might be more complicated reasons.
Some people swallowed the pills impatiently, then closed their eyes and concentrated, sitting cross-legged, as if resonating with the heaven and earth. In an instant, several people could hear the sound of wind and thunder rumbling in their bodies, which was a sign that the sea of suffering was forcibly opened up, marking that they had officially entered the door of the path of cultivation.
Witnessing the miraculous effect of the elixir given by the leader, the Taoists who had been searching for a way to practice for a long time were so excited that they could not express it in words. They followed suit, eager to experience the power of the elixir, and then they dispersed and hurried back to their own places of practice, eager to absorb this rare opportunity.
Even those monks who have entered the Divine Bridge Realm find it difficult to resist this temptation. They are eager to further comprehend the essence of the Great Dao through the help of elixirs, so as to take a more solid step on the road of cultivation.
However, when these monks were in seclusion and immersed in the accelerated cultivation brought by the elixir, they did not expect that after they came out of seclusion again, in addition to the improvement of their cultivation, there was an unexpected surprise waiting for them - many monks found partners who were in tune with their hearts and shared the same ideals during their cultivation in the resident areas. However, these stories will not be mentioned for the time being, and will be told in detail later.
