The strangest thing was that everyone was also given a glass bead-like object, transparent with what seemed to be colorful clouds of light floating inside.
With interests mixed in, no wonder they weren't very convinced by Liu Yibuyi! But Liu Yibuyi was also secretly thinking that although Zhenyangzi seemed to be living in seclusion here, his subordinates had already occupied many territories.
However, it seemed that among the things they offered, the strange bead was the most precious. He wondered what this bead could be.
He searched his memory hard, and suddenly his whole body trembled as he remembered, almost exclaiming in surprise. Could this bead be the incense wish power?
It seemed that the original Liu Yibuyi had only seen this thing by chance.
Just as Liu Yibuyi was lost in thought, the last old Taoist with a white beard, Song Yuanyi, smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother Liu is our senior, shouldn't Master consider assigning him a parish to spread the teachings?"
As he spoke, his eyes flickered. The other disciples listened with obvious attention. It seemed that this matter of assigning a parish was very important.
Zhenyangzi smiled and said, "I need to focus on cultivation to break through again. I have no heart to manage the Yanbo Lake area, so let Liu Yibuyi try his hand at it!"
Upon hearing this, the other disciples breathed a sigh of relief. Only the old Taoist's eyes flickered even more.
"It's getting late, go back now. Don't forget the important matters!" Zhenyangzi waved to dismiss the disciples.
The Taoists bowed again and silently withdrew. Each used their own methods, and although there were no boats, they moved freely on the lake.
Liu Yibuyi felt uneasy and called out, "Master..."
Zhenyangzi sneered and said, "Look first!"
A Qingyang Divine Lamp in his hand flew out, and the light shone, revealing an image.
Song Yuanyi, like a flying eagle, caught up with the other two Taoists after a few leaps and said, "Senior Brothers, how can you tolerate Master's favoritism?"
The two Taoists were surprised and said, "Master still took care of our faces and didn't send that kid to a good place to spread the teachings. This Yanbo Lake is such a desolate place, what can you get from it?"
Song Yuanyi cursed them in his heart but said, "You two are too naive. Yanbo Lake may not have many followers to develop and is not prosperous, but it is under Master's direct supervision. He truly considers it the place for the successor. What are we?"
At this point, the image in the Qingyang Divine Lamp became blurry. Zhenyangzi put away the lamp, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and said, "Do you understand now?"
Liu Yibuyi was startled. He had seen this Daoist technique before and was already very impressed. This time, it seemed even more miraculous. It could monitor the surroundings, and he didn't know how large the range was.
Such Daoist techniques could probably only be matched by the high-tech means of his original world!
"Yes, I understand!" Liu Yibuyi said.
Zhenyangzi nodded, "Since you understand, you must do well. The Yanbo Lake area covers a thousand miles, with forty-three villages and over twenty thousand people. Although it is somewhat barren, it's a good place to try your hand!"
Liu Yibuyi responded again, not knowing why Zhenyangzi was so good to him for no reason.
Could it be that he really considers me his successor? Did I pass his test in prison?
"However, there's no need to rush now. I will first teach you the Daoist techniques," Liu Yibuyi's spirits immediately lifted. This was what he most sought after, and the matter of the parish for spreading the teachings meant nothing to him!
However, Liu Yibuyi soon realized he was greatly mistaken.
"Our sect's cultivation method places the greatest emphasis on incense wish power," Zhenyangzi said calmly. "The Qingyang Divine Lamp can transform incense wish power into boundless divine light, which can be used to enhance oneself and serve as the foundation for cultivation. This is the secret of our sect's rapid cultivation!"
Liu Yibuyi was shocked and suddenly remembered. When he was on Yanbo Lake, the unfortunate Ruyi Tuo's yuan shen seemed to be absorbed into the Qingyang Divine Lamp.
At that time, the light from the Qingyang Divine Lamp suddenly became very bright, leaving a deep impression on Liu Yibuyi: "Master, can the Qingyang Divine Lamp also refine a person's yuan shen?"
Zhenyangzi smiled sinisterly, "What do you think?"
Liu Yibuyi felt a chill in his heart and didn't ask further, but he already knew the answer.
Zhenyangzi taught him the techniques, and Liu Yibuyi followed the techniques to light the Qingyang Divine Lamp. He saw a misty cloud-like fog spread over, merging into the light, and the Qingyang Divine Lamp emitted a rainbow of light.
Zhenyangzi said slowly, "The reason our Qingyang Sect is considered a major threat by the court is that cultivation is easy. With these incense wish powers, they can be transformed into magical power to enhance one's cultivation! Now, do you understand the importance of the parish?"
Liu Yibuyi was shocked and hadn't spoken when he heard Zhenyangzi's stern command, "Focus your mind and listen to my techniques!"
Liu Yibuyi quickly threw away his chaotic thoughts and followed the techniques, focusing on his heart, and recited the incantation.
He saw the misty rainbow light, after being burned by the Qingyang Divine Lamp, transform into pure, crystal-clear white light.
The white light continuously shone on Liu Yibuyi's heart, and the heart emitted a bright light, illuminating his entire body, as if to light up every cell.
"Focus on the dantian!" Zhenyangzi shouted, "Below the navel, within three inches, is the place of essence, known as the dantian."
Liu Yibuyi subconsciously focused the light and directed it to the dantian. It was as if a thunderbolt struck there.
It was like the first axe blow that split the universe in the legend of Pangu, or the first ray of light that created the world in the Western Light Religion...
In short, the golden light emitted from the heart illuminated the dantian, and it was immediately opened.
The dantian, like the sea of consciousness, seemed to exist in everyone, but only true cultivators, after "finding the key," could discover and open it.
The golden light from the heart illuminated the dantian, and the chaos in the dantian was immediately dispelled. Threads of misty white vapor began to emerge.
"Refine essence into qi!" Liu Yibuyi's heart moved. This was the technique of refining essence into qi in the ancient Daoist sect.
No wonder so few people could achieve success after practicing the Daoist sect's foundational cultivation techniques. The true secret was here!
In a daze, he didn't know how long he had been practicing. Liu Yibuyi's eyes flashed, and his body moved, waking up from this rare state.
