Chapter 33 The Elegant Scholar Advances to the Next Level
Inside the main hall, Mo Yuan lay lazily on the meditation cushion.
In his original plan, he did not intend to form too many karmic ties with the human race. After all, he really did not want to become a babysitter for the human race, as this would put him in a difficult position and also affect the original path of the human race.
But when you're in the world, you're not always in control of your own destiny!
The pie that the Heavenly Lord drew for the Great Emperor of Fengdu clearly indicated that he needed to enjoy the incense offerings and prayers of the human race to accumulate human blessings.
As for the Sage of the Human Cult, he went even further, forcibly placing him in the position of the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable, establishing an unshakable causal link between him and the human race and the Human Cult.
Mo Yuan is now pondering how the tranquil and inactive sage of the Human Sect will react when he becomes a disciple of the Chan Sect sage in the future.
"Refining magic weapons is simple. I just need to refine the weapons of those demon generals, remove the demonic and evil energy from them, and inscribe runes suitable for celestial immortals and mystic immortals."
"However, I need to carefully consider the art of weapon crafting, alchemy, and array formation, and control the degree of each. It must be suitable for human cultivation and use, while also erasing the traces of the three religions."
"If the three religions, especially the Chan and Jie religions, are involved in the conflict between the human and demon races, it will bring trouble to the three religions and give others something to talk about."
Mo Yuan's gaze was deep as he murmured to himself.
The Great Dao of Golden Elixir was passed down to the human race by the Sage Taiqing. This Dao did not involve much alchemy. The methods for refining the spiritual pills and immortal pills of the human race were created by human sages such as Suirenshi through their efforts.
The same principle applies to the art of weapon crafting and the art of array formation!
Even the Human Sect only had two disciples, Grand Master Xuandu and True Man Du'e. Neither of them left any inheritance in weapon crafting, alchemy, or array formation among the human race, let alone founded a sect or educated the human race.
It can be said that in the current prehistoric world, although the human race seems to have multiplied very quickly and can be found on all four continents, they actually live at the very bottom of all races.
"wrong!"
"As the young master of the Qilin clan, bearing the title of the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable, why should I care about the demon race? The art of alchemy can be passed on to the human race in its entirety, while the art of weapon crafting and array formation can be concealed."
"Although the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is powerful, why should I avoid their sharp edge?"
Suddenly, Mo Yuan's gaze sharpened, and his aura became terrifying.
He realized something.
Perhaps the intention of the Sage of Taiqing was to use him to leave behind many inheritances for the human race, so that the Sage of Taiqing would not be involved, and the human race would become stronger.
Whether it is the Sage Taiqing or his two disciples, Grand Master Xuandu and True Man Du'e, if they were to personally leave their legacy among the human race, it would be a challenge to the authority of Goddess Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and would also create enmity with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.
But he was different.
Although he was an ant in the late stage of True Immortal, he possessed the alchemical scriptures compiled by the Sage of Taiqing, and had unique insights into the art of weapon crafting and array formation. No one would have thought that he was the instigator of the transformation of the human race.
After hesitating for a long time, Mo Yuan finally made up his mind.
As he unleashed the Five Virtues Brush, he took out three jade slips. With just a slight movement of his divine sense, lines of Heavenly Dao divine patterns appeared on the three jade slips.
The profound chapters of alchemy.
General principles of weapon crafting.
The Array Dao Treasure Record.
Mo Yuan edited down the contents of the alchemy classics and added his own insights, integrating them into the Dao of Alchemy. The General Principles of Weapon Refining and the Treasure Book of Array Formation were more about his understanding of the Dao of Weapon Refining and the Dao of Array Formation.
Prostrate on the meditation cushion, Mo Yuan's Dao heart was clear and his inspiration was surging wildly. The Five Virtues Brush was almost moving so fast that it left afterimages, while his divine sense was being rapidly depleted.
After several years of work, the "Mysterious Chapter of Alchemy", the "General Outline of Weapon Refining", and the "Treasury of Array Formation" were all completed. Among these three, the content of the "Mysterious Chapter of Alchemy" was the most complete, directly involving the method of refining the Six-Turn Golden Elixir.
The General Outline of Weapon Refining records how to refine magical treasures and mid-to-low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, while the Treasure Book of Array Dao contains methods for arranging physical arrays and force arrays.
After doing all this, Mo Yuan immediately used the weapons of those demon generals to forge magical treasures for Shan Li, Cang Yan, Cheng Gang, and others.
The most significant difference between magic treasures and acquired spiritual treasures is that magic treasures contain runes, while acquired spiritual treasures contain restrictions.
Runes are formed from the spiritual energy or magical power of heaven and earth, but restrictions require the fusion of the laws of heaven and earth on the basis of runes, and at the same time, the evolution is completed with the help of the cultivator's understanding of the Dao. Only in this way can an acquired spiritual treasure be refined.
Mo Yuan activated the Qilin True Fire to forge those weapons, adding some of the rare and precious materials he had collected, before he began to condense runes with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Runes, shimmering with a dark light and carrying a vast amount of spiritual energy, entered the embryonic forms of those magical treasures, then intertwined with each other, arranging themselves neatly in a way that aligned with the Dao of the Golden Core.
In the blink of an eye, six top-grade Heaven-rank magic treasures appeared in front of Mo Yuan.
If the natural materials used to refine these magical treasures were more precious, and if Mo Yuan had put in more effort, they might have become low-grade acquired spiritual treasures with several acquired restrictions.
A moment later.
On the city tower of Gulin City, Mo Yuan looked down at the human beings coming and going in the city, his eyes showing a hint of gentleness.
"Shanli, these six top-grade Heaven-rank magic treasures will be entrusted to Cangyan, Chenggang, and you to manage together. I believe that with their assistance, you will be able to better protect the human tribes and Gulin City."
"As for Diwu, this is a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Thousand-Entangle Shadow Robe, which I obtained by killing a demon king in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. It has nine acquired restrictions and is compatible with your origin, so it should belong to you."
"You can copy the Daoist Manual of Alchemy, the General Principles of Weapon Refining, and the Treasure Book of Array Formation and spread them among various human tribes, cities, and even cultivation kingdoms. This will also enhance your foundation."
With just a few words, Mo Yuan arranged what the four of them should do next, and handed them over the magical treasures, the Thousand Binding Shadow Robe, and the Daoist Manual.
Before they could express their gratitude, Mo Yuan stepped through the void and left Gulin City.
A voice finally rang out after a long while.
"If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, you may come to Qilin Cliff to find me with the jade pendant I previously bestowed upon you. Remember, the human race must strive for self-improvement. Whether we can stand tall among all races depends on the human race itself."
It wasn't that Mo Yuan was heartless, but that if humanity wanted to become the protagonist of the world, it had to forge its own path.
What he gave to Shan Li and the others was nothing more than conforming to the general trend of the heavens. He couldn't possibly replace the human race's strongmen and sages like Shan Li and rely solely on his own strength to promote the development of the human race, could he?
It all depends on human effort; he merely ignited a spark.
Whether it can spread like wildfire depends on Shan Li and others.
"We respectfully bid farewell to Senior Mo Yuan!"
Diwu, Shanli, and the others respectfully bowed in the direction Mo Yuan had left. Then, they carefully put away the magic treasures, alchemy manuals, and other valuable resources, and discussed how to use them.
By this time, they already understood that perhaps for thousands or tens of thousands of years to come, Mo Yuan might never descend upon the territory of Gujue Peak again.
From now on, they'll have to rely on themselves for everything!
..........
On the other side, Mo Yuan headed straight towards Qilin Cliff. Only by returning to this blessed land of immortals could he cultivate in peace.
Time flows by, and the world changes in countless ways.
Following the same route he had taken to Buzhou Mountain, Mo Yuan traversed towering mountains and steep ridges, and this time he returned to the territory of Qilin Cliff in just over a hundred years.
Looking at the Nine Mountains Returning to Origin Formation that covered the area of Qilin Cliff for hundreds of millions of miles, Mo Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of pride.
With this formation protecting Qilin Cliff, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would be kept out, which is why he was able to travel the prehistoric continent and go to Buzhou Mountain to obtain the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qilin Seal.
Of course, the reason he could peacefully possess the blessed land of Qilin Cliff was largely due to its proximity to Kunlun Mountain, freeing him from the covetousness of the demon race's Heavenly Court and the prying eyes of the Immortal Court's Purple Mansion Continent or other forces.
Mo Yuan stepped into the great array barrier. With just a slight thought, he appeared at the summit of Chensu Peak, one of the Nine Mountains, where countless starlight converged, interspersed with strands of bright moonlight.
Mo Yuan originally intended to place the Youhuang Willow he obtained beside the Five Elements Pool, water it with water-elemental spiritual liquid and fragments of water-elemental laws, and at the same time use the rules and order of the earth veins to help it grow into a low-grade acquired spiritual root.
This method seems safe, but it is actually quite time-consuming.
After extracting the essence of Yi Wood from the Vine Demon King's body, Mo Yuan decisively abandoned this method. He wanted to use the essence of Yi Wood to help Youhuang Liu advance to a low-grade acquired spiritual root.
"go!"
Mo Yuan used his magic to take the Youhuang Willow from the Qianyuan Tower and planted it directly on the summit of Chensu Peak. Then he poured all the Yi Wood essence he had obtained into its roots.
Immediately afterwards, he drew the moonlight from the summit of Chensu Peak toward Youhuangliu, and at the same time, he also drew the spiritual liquid condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Yunmeng Heavenly River to help Youhuangliu improve.
Once Youhuangliu is promoted to a low-grade acquired spiritual root, Mo Yuan's speed of obtaining Moonlight Divine Water will be accelerated, which also means that his primordial spirit can be tempered as soon as possible, and his divine sense will become stronger.
Before one's eyes, the originally crystal-clear bamboo and willow trees were tinged with emerald green light, and their desolate and quiet Daoist charm was mixed with rich vitality. The appearance of the Yi Wood essence had transformed their very essence.
The massive amount of river water was swallowed and refined by the Youhuang Willow, and its branches and leaves grew rapidly. The Youhuang Willow, which was originally only a few feet long, immediately transformed into a tree several tens of feet long, with lush branches and leaves, and divine patterns of Yi Wood appeared on its leaves.
"The low-grade acquired spiritual root, the Bamboo Willow, has increased the speed at which it can condense Moonlight Divine Water several times over. Combined with the advantages of Chensu Peak, it is no problem to condense six or seven drops of Moonlight Divine Water a year."
"It's a pity that the limit of the Youhuang Willow is only a low-grade acquired spiritual root. Otherwise, if I could obtain a treasure containing the essence of the sun, and combine it with the countless starlight of Chensu Peak, it could be promoted again. At that time, it might be able to condense the Three Lights Divine Water."
Mo Yuan looked at Youhuangliu and said softly.
But the next moment he shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate! I cannot force things, otherwise I will be blinded by obsession and embark on a path of no return."
"The Moonlight Divine Water can help me temper my primordial spirit and divine consciousness, and the Earth Goddess's Earth Core Jade Breast Milk can help me cleanse my meridians and marrow and temper my physical body. I am already content."
"Next, I need to return to Tayun Mansion to give the Teng Muxin to the Jingxin Golden Thunder Bamboo for refining. At the same time, I also need to cultivate pure earth ancestral qi again to fill the gaps in my lungs and kidneys."
Mo Yuan always does things in an orderly manner, which allows him to proceed step by step and improve himself in all aspects.
Previously, in order to deal with those demonic villains and repair the earth veins of the Crimson Cloud River, Mo Yuan had exhausted the pure ancestral energy in his lungs and kidneys, and now it was time to make up for it.
