Chapter 107 Lotus: Has the Qin Dynasty fallen?

"How is this possible? Humans actually possess such a powerful Dao!"

【Celestial Technique - Geng Position: Instant】

Ignoring the humans beneath her feet, Zhu Jin chose to avoid battle immediately.

This kind of human is definitely not someone I can fool!

But sometimes, he can't just leave whenever he wants.

Almost the instant he disappeared, Taiyi's sword energy arrived in front of him.

boom!

The raging flames shot forward in pillars, and the sand they swept across turned into a glassy state under the scorching heat.

As the aura dissipated, Taiyi lowered his head, holding his sword at his side with the tip touching the ground. His long hair, which had been dancing wildly in the wind, slowly fell onto his back.

"Thank goodness, she's still alive." He bent down and grasped A-Xia's hand, his inner energy surging into her body the moment they made contact.

Looking ahead, just a few steps away, Rantaro, whose entire body had been decomposed into flowers, was lying there.

"So Rantaro is here too, but his situation seems a bit troublesome..."

While maintaining Ah Xia's life, he used his divine sense to check on his good brother's condition.

Unlike Aya, who was slowly eroded by the flower's energy, Rantarō was just accelerated into becoming a plant because Zhu Jin had actively injected a wisp of energy into his body.

"Tsk tsk tsk, humans, don't waste your energy. Why use such a precious Dao on them?"

Zhu Jin sat on a tree branch, one leg dangling down and the other curled up, with her elbow on her knee and her fist against her temple, smiling as she looked at Taiyi.

"Wasted effort?"

Taiyi raised an eyebrow, and seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

They've been on the island for a thousand years, yet their minds haven't matured at all.

The remaining six celestial beings, who were not yet fully developed, were forcibly matured by Lian using her qi, and their minds were similar to those of teenagers.

Arrogance and conceit are the most vivid descriptions of them.

Despite being cultivators who had cultivated Qi for thousands of years, they all showed disdain when facing Huameiwan who had landed on the island.

They have to play around with their opponent first, and only when they realize that the opponent is powerful and difficult to deal with do they use the Ghost Corpse Release.

Despite possessing immense inner strength, he only had crude methods of applying it, which ultimately led to his defeat by Huameiwan and his companions.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the strength of the main characters, but fate's arrangement may also be the main reason.

Sometimes, people suddenly have a mental lapse and do things that even they find unbelievable. Then, when they come to their senses afterward, they regret it deeply and wonder why they did it.

This is the obstacle, also known as the calamity, or disaster.

Even shrewd bosses can be deceived sometimes, and even those who understand emotions can sometimes choose the wrong partner.

"Unfortunately, if it were based on the character of the Celestial Immortal in the original work, Zhu Jin would probably have chosen to take my sword strike head-on."

"But the reality is, no matter who they are in the original story, they all become perfectly normal the moment they see me, just because I'm not the protagonist?"

When Tai thought about this, he wanted to complain in his heart that the power of the halo was sometimes even more awesome than the golden finger.

Upon arriving at Rantaro's side, while transferring energy to him, he also took the opportunity to check Zhu Jin's attributes.

[Name: Ruyi Yuanjun - Zhu Jin]

【Age: 1907】

【life:???】

[Essence: 5]

[Qi and Blood: 5]

[Soul: 1128.7]

"Having lived for nearly two thousand years, how come there are only tens of thousands of data points?"

Taiyi frowned, feeling that something was off about the data, but then he thought of something, shook his head, and looked at Zhu Jin with pitiful eyes.

"Huh? Human, what kind of look is that?"

Zhu Jin tilted his head, his eyebrows stood up, and his facial expression began to become ferocious.

He couldn't understand it. They were always the ones looking at humans with that kind of expression. When did it become the turn of humans to look at them in that way?

"You... never mind, there's no need to tell you this."

Seeing the flowers on Rantaro's body slowly shrinking into his body, Taichi let out a long breath and quickly manipulated his true energy to throw the two onto the small boat, then pushed it into the sea.

Zhu Jin ignored all of that and instead stood on the tree trunk, clenching her fists so tightly they cracked.

He wanted to jump down and kill the human in front of him, but then he remembered the sword strike from before and his face showed lingering fear.

"Is it so hard to understand? Because you are merely tools of the lotus."

"You fart!"

[Immortal Technique - Tin Thorn]

Zhu Jin leaped into the air, and then hundreds of true energy clusters appeared around his body. After that, all of these true energy clusters turned into streams of light, shooting towards Taiyi like laser cannons.

【Three Qi Traverse the Heavens - Gold - Dragon's Journey】

Taiyi countered each move with lightning speed, his figure appearing and disappearing like a ghost, while simultaneously unleashing a hundred sword energies that collided with the incoming streaks of light.

boom! boom! boom!

A huge explosion rang out, ripples appeared in the air, and the strong airflow snapped all the trees not far away.

"How is this possible! Why is his Dao still intact?!"

As the smoke cleared, Zhu Jin discovered that Taiyi was completely unharmed, which made him grit his teeth in anger, while at the same time he was shocked!

"It's tragic to have power but not know how to use it."

"There are many methods in the path of Qi Refining, yet you only cultivate one, and you work in isolation. No wonder you have only achieved this much despite a thousand years of cultivation!"

Taiyi's cold voice caused Zhu Jin to freeze on the spot.

"How do you know so much?! Who are you?!"

He asked the other person in an almost roaring tone, but all he got in return was a cold look.

The celestial beings of Paradise Island were actually tools developed by Xu Fu, his wife Lian, and his concubine Mei to research and improve the art of Qi cultivation.

Because it originated from the Qin Dynasty, the Qi cultivation techniques of that time did not include internal alchemy. Instead, they followed four major steps: refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to unite with the Dao.

The methods for refining essence into qi include sexual techniques, focusing on the oneness of the body, circulating qi throughout the body, guiding qi, and fetal breathing.

This is why, apart from the lotus, there are exactly six other celestial beings.

As for Lian, she studied external alchemy.

"Although Xu Fu and Lian are geniuses in the field of Qi cultivation, they are still far behind the wisdom of the entire Chinese cultivation world."

As Taiyi spoke in his mind, the names of countless Taoist masters flashed through his mind.

Laozi, Zhuangzi, Ge Hong, Lü Dongbin, Bai Yuchan, Zhang Sanfeng...

My own internal alchemy began to emerge in the Sui Dynasty and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.

"From the Qin to the Tang dynasties, over a thousand years, the entire Chinese cultivation community combined the wisdom of countless people to systematically combine and improve these five methods of Qi cultivation, as well as external alchemy, and finally obtained the internal alchemy method."

"So your embryonic breathing technique is a bit outdated!"

Taiyi looked at Zhu Jin and said disdainfully.

The five methods of cultivating Qi—sexual techniques, focusing on the One, circulating Qi through the body, guiding Qi, and fetal breathing—can all refine essence and Qi. However, due to the different order and specific methods, the effects of Qi cultivation also differ.

Zhu Jin, Lan, Ju Hua, and other celestial beings only cultivate one path, so their progress is bound to be slow. Furthermore, Lian only uses them as tools and does not teach them other methods of cultivating luck.

This resulted in these powerful celestial beings from Paradise Island being completely incapable of fighting, and being beaten to death in frustration when facing Huamei Maru and the others.

"What? You don't believe me? Then you can take a closer look..."

Call ~

Seeing Zhu Jin's already dazed look, Taiyi wanted to continue to discourage him.

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt the heavens and earth shaking, and at the same time, his heart leaped.

The immense pressure and intense feeling of suffocation instantly covered Taiyi's forehead in sweat.

"Human." Suddenly, Lian appeared above him, looking down at Taiyi with icy eyes and speaking in a cold tone:

"What did you mean by 'from Qin to Tang' just now?"

Ok?

Seeing Taiyi looking a little bewildered, Lian's eyes gradually sharpened, and her hands, hidden in her sleeves, began to tremble involuntarily.

"You mean, the Qin Dynasty... is gone???"

Taiichi: "Huh?"
