348, Pointing Out Li Longji, Understanding Between the Monarch and His Subjects, the Grace of Enlightenment (Seeking Full Order)
"Five-return golden elixir!"
"Sure enough, choosing to suppress one's own realm will bring a lot of rewards. If I had hurriedly condensed the elixir eight years ago, I would probably have fallen into the same predicament as the masters of various Taoist schools now. It would take ten years to advance to a higher realm. , more than 20 years of hard work to polish the golden elixir..."
Bai Gui was pleasantly surprised when he saw Huang Ting Jin Dan.
It is easiest to condense the golden elixir for the first time, because the nature of the Tao is unstable at this moment. Once the golden elixir is formed, the jade liquid turns into elixir. If you want to re-condensate the elixir, you have to spend at least twice as much time and mana. effort.
This stage is also the time when qualifications are most tested.
He is a true immortal, and he has developed Fuxi's divine power, and has the innate Taiyi Qi blessed by his ancestor. But if it weren't for his qualifications, it would be impossible for ordinary monks to suppress the realm when the Xuan Fei is condensed to an inch wide.
"The next step is to cultivate a flawless body and achieve a flawless golden elixir."
Bai Gui stayed and put on his Taoist robe.
Bai Xiuzhu, who was lying down, closed her beautiful eyes deeply at this moment, realizing the mystery of Fuxi's divine power. When he left, she transformed into Nuwa's true form, with the head of a human and the body of a snake, huddled together.
Her body was warm and cool at times, her Dantian was blazing, and Jianggong was like a bright moon shining brightly. However, as time passed, her Dantian was melting and her whole body was soft and warm.
"The qualifications of the Nuwa clan should not be underestimated. I have given Xiuzhu a lot of Fuxi's divine power. Now that the dragon and the tiger are in harmony, they can actually condense the golden elixir..."
Bai Gui was sitting on the edge of the collapse guarding the road. Seeing this scene, he thought to himself.
The Nuwa clan is blessed with great blessings, and compared to others, practicing Taoism is smoother. But just like this, it is still impossible to achieve the state of condensing elixir in one fell swoop.
The reason why he is like this now is inseparable from the Fuxi divine power he saved.
One night, until the dawn of the next day.
Bai Xiuzhu slowly opened her sleeping eyes. Her appearance was more beautiful than before. She pursed her lips and saw that she had revealed her true form as Nuwa. Her face immediately turned red and she quickly recovered her body. After she recovered her body, Only then did she look at herself and realized that she had condensed a golden elixir of Nuwa's Mysterious Embryo.
"I don't have as much accumulation as your husband. What I achieved is the Three Returns Golden Pill."
She said, feeling disappointed in her heart.
After all, Bai Gui spent much more effort than she did to cultivate Taoism, so she was just free riding.
"At this time, you and I have just begun to form the golden elixir. It is the time when we need to stabilize it..."
Bai Gui collapsed again.
Wipe beads.
An hour later, he left the Duke Dai's Mansion with satisfaction.
After walking to the political hall and finishing his official duties as usual, it was already midday. He sighed and came to the side hall of Zichen Hall where Li Longji temporarily lived.
"Bai Qing..., you came to me now, have you thought clearly?"
"The matter of becoming a king is not something that must be discussed."
Li Longji is much more haggard than before. He has no power aphrodisiac. At this moment, he actually has white hair hidden in his black hair.
He was holding a wine cup and drinking wine, looking down and out.
Like a drunkard.
"Your Majesty, why are you here!"
"The imperial hegemony is just a joke..."
"Your Majesty has lost his power now, but he has not lost the opportunity to pursue immortality."
Bai Gui sighed and said.
But what he said fell on deaf ears by Li Longji. The reason why he planned to achieve the Golden Elixir was not only because his internal strength had reached a point where he had no choice but to achieve it.
Another point is to use this golden elixir to enlighten Li Longji.
Since knowing that Yang Yuhuan was the Penglai fairy, Bai Gui also speculated whether Li Longji was also a reincarnated fairy. But the law does not include nobles. He was originally a ninth-grade schoolmaster, so Shi Chongxuan and his master could use the Qi-gazing technique to observe his luck and get a glimpse of his true nature.
But... the emperor's words are supreme and noble. If any cultivator dares to look around, he will surely die.
In the third year of Kaiyuan, when he went on an expedition to refine the Waidan, Li Longji made excuses for the court to collect cinnabar and refine the Waidan. He also took a lot of it over the years. It's just that he hasn't achieved any results in his cultivation. The pool is too shallow. Even with the help of Waidan, he is still about the same as ordinary people...
A few years ago, Li Longji also asked him why he failed to cultivate Taoism but had poor qualifications?
You can't use the Qi Watching Technique, but you can still use your magic power to detect whether there are Taoist Immortal Bones on your body.
After some exploration, it was discovered that Li Longji had immortal bones.
Later, Bai Gui figured out the reason.
The human emperor cannot live forever!
Since ancient times, many emperors have sought immortality and Taoism, but why have they never lived forever? If we talk about the ordinary world, that's it, but this is a world with immortals and gods. At least Li Longji and Ye Fashan have a good relationship, but this can't help Li Longji achieve enlightenment.
Of course, it’s not necessarily that these monks have nothing to do, it’s just that the emperor can’t give them much. Before the emperor becomes enlightened, the emperor has already given everything he can, so afterwards, whether the emperor lives forever or not has nothing to do with it. What big relationship do they have?
"Compared with eternal life, does your Majesty want to be a mortal king more?"
"Having been in charge of wealth for decades, then turned into a pile of bones?"
Bai Gui thought of the friendship between monarch and ministers and gave Li Longji guidance again.
He took away Li Longji's power because he did not want people to perish and the government to cease. After all, Li Longji would not trust him as prime minister forever, so he had no choice but to take away Li Longji's power.
But this does not mean that he is so cruel.
The wealth of a human dynasty, and the possibility of eternal life.
This question.
Anyone can choose!
"Eternal vision?"
Li Longji had just sobered up. He thought that Bai Gui was just talking about cultivation, so he didn't care. But now Bai Gui mentioned it again. It must be impossible for him to be talking nonsense. There must be a reason.
"Since ancient times, emperors have visited immortals and sought the way to rule the country forever. Such a vision will not be easily agreed by all the gods and Buddhas..."
"Now that your majesty has abdicated the throne and is no longer the emperor, you can hope for immortality!"
Bai Gui said.
As a close minister of Li Longji, he knew that Li Longji valued immortality more than the emperor's power. However, compared with the immortality that cannot be found, the imperial power in his hands is more realistic.
Not everyone can abandon their family and career and set their mind to cultivation!
In other words, after becoming an immortal, they will have far greater power than the mortal king. No need to think too much about which one to pursue. But not everyone can become an immortal. Any emperor on the throne with a brain knows that it is not realistic to give up the imperial power in hand and pursue immortality.
"What Bai Qing said... is it true?"
Li Longji was stunned for a moment. He lifted the messy hair hanging in front of his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to practice the Taoist internal skills taught to him by Zongsheng Temple. As an emperor, he also received the talisman.
What surprised him was that somehow, the Taoist internal skills that used to be obscure were not hindered at this moment, as if they were like fish in water.
"Your Majesty is originally an immortal, but it has been locked up by dust and labor for a long time. Now it is blooming with light, and its path is promising!"
Bai Gui smiled and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai..."
"I misunderstood Mr. Bai. If Mr. Bai hadn't pointed out my confusion, it would have been much more difficult for me to get out of it when the country was in decline."
Li Longji had the help of many excellent external medicines he had taken for nearly ten years, and he practiced Taoist internal skills from time to time. In addition, he had top qualifications, was not a human emperor, and had top purple energy, so his practice was like divine help.
He soon reached the 100-day foundation-building barrier.
At the same time, when building the foundation, Li Longji also calmed down and became wise. He knew that he was abdicating now, and the timing was right, because he created the Kaiyuan Prosperity. Although there was a stain of three trips to the south of the Yangtze River, it was still a merit, which would be of infinite benefit to his future practice.
If he got out later, one was his age. He was not Zhang Guolao, who could still become an immortal when he was old. The second was that he would decline after reaching the peak. Judging from his previous indulgence in wine and sex, the Kaiyuan Prosperity would not last for much longer, and he would not be able to get out at that time.
"Your Majesty can reflect on yourself, and I can put my mind at ease."
Bai Gui sighed.
It is impossible to say that he did not feel guilty towards Li Longji.
Li Longji was really good to him.
"If it were not for Bai Qing, it would be difficult for me to break free from the secular world."
"This is the grace of enlightenment!"
"Bai Qing, don't mind..."
Li Longji shook his head, his grudges were resolved, and his expression was indifferent.
If Bai Gui really wanted to harm him, with the power that Bai Gui currently holds, a cup of wine, or some other means, he would slowly die. There is no need to come to the Purple Palace now to point out his confusion and let him embark on the path of enlightenment.
Who would care about being an emperor if there is a chance to become an immortal!
The immortal, the great power belongs to himself.
It is much better than the emperor!
