Chapter 265 Unbreakable Pill!
Fangfang likes reading. She reads it with relish regardless of whether the contents are useful. Influenced by Lanqizhang, she knows more about the art of breaking alchemy than most Taoists.
In the early stage of the Taoist throne, the most urgent thing was to fight against the demons and rescue humans. However, except for the Third Ancestor, other Taoist priests were few and too weak in strength. They were far from the opponent of the demons. The only spell that could kill the enemy was the magic of elixir. Therefore, this magic of jade burning was not only not stopped, but was also highly promoted. Before practicing, each Taoist priest understood his final mission. They moved towards death from the beginning. As long as they could die with a group of demons, they would be perfect.
This move has repeatedly made amazing achievements, but the demon clan’s defenses have become more and more strict, and its negative effects have become obvious: the disciples of Taoism have suffered huge casualties. Except for the Third Ancestor, no higher Taoist priests have emerged. Most of them have voluntarily sacrificed themselves before they are immersed in the realm of God.
This is an unstoppable trend. When the heroic scenes of the disciples who practiced together rushed into the demon army and used the magic elixir to perform the magic of breaking the alchemy, the later generations were deeply affected. In this atmosphere, most Taoists waited for their destiny with an impatient mood and took pride in death.
Even if there was a situation where the green and yellow were not connected, the Taoist sect did not make up its mind to cancel the art of breaking the alchemy. Faced with the powerful demons, they really did not have a better way to deal with it. They just had higher and higher requirements for the Taoist priests who performed the mission, hoping to leave some seeds for the future.
Finally, a tragedy that no one expected happened, which made the Taoist Tong realize that the art of breaking alchemy was too powerful and should not have existed.
A Taoist priest - who had not mentioned his name in all the books Fang Fang had read - was ready to break the pills since he joined the Taoist throne. He was waiting while practicing, but it was five hundred years later when he achieved his success in his practice. At this time, the Taoist throne gradually gained the advantage and rarely used the tactic of losing both sides. The days when he realized his wish became far away.
Under the double torture of dreams and disappointments, this Taoist priest became possessed.
This is one of the earliest events in the history of the Taoist dynasty, and its influence is huge. It not only made the art of breaking the alchemy become a forbidden technique since then, but also led to a series of research on the art of being entangled in the Taoist dynasty. The power of the banned secret science and the precepts science are related to this.
No one could know the true thoughts of the demon-begotten Taoist priest, and later people could only guess. He probably had an illusion that there were spies from the demon clan within the Taoist dynasty, and deliberately prevented the Taoist priests from using the most powerful elixir-breaking technique. This idea became stronger and stronger. In order to purify the Taoist priests, he decided to take extreme measures.
Another view is that this Taoist priest had too deep a demonic thought, and might regard everyone around him as a demon. The only option is to use the magic technique immediately.
Nearly five hundred Taoist priests died in this tragedy. At that time, the regional distinction between the Nine Daotongs was still unclear, and the entire Taoist priest was almost in a slump.
Therefore, the fundamental method of seclusion was invented. Every disciple must receive blessing as soon as possible after condensing the pill. Even if the demons have been completely eliminated, this rule was not cancelled, but was implemented more strictly.
Being possessed by demons is always a threat hanging above the Taoist priests' heads. The idea of the demons is unreasonable. Even if it is only one percent possible to use the magic technique of breaking the alchemy, it is a catastrophe for various Taoist priests.
The Taoist priest's life span is very long. By more than ten thousand years, the status of the Taoist priests became increasingly stable. Several generations of Taoist priests who had a deep memory of the art of breaking alchemy were dead. The Taoist disciples no longer regarded this powerful magic as a necessary means, let alone considered it glory.
The art of breaking alchemy has gradually been forgotten, and only the banned secret departments of various Taoist dynasties are still conducting intermittent research on it.
Lan Qizhang has not been studying the art of breaking alchemy for a long time, but he has some experience. Through the summary of the information of previous generations, he found that even without the blessing of the fundamental hidden method, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Taoists to use the art of breaking alchemy.
"This is not surprising." Lan Qizhang once explained Qin Lingshuang. He couldn't help but show off his research results. "Even Taoist priests have a herd mentality. When everyone is ready to die with the demons, living is a humiliation, just like the demon-being Taoist priest. In his early years, he saw fellow Taoist priests die one by one on the battlefield, but he couldn't get the chance, and felt guilty. I believe that it was this guilt that made him fall into the demon. The descendants of Taoist priests have no role models, and they will no longer have the ambition to die. The inner alchemy is closely related to human hearts. A Taoist priest can deceive others or even deceive himself, but he cannot deceive the inner alchemy. A very small hesitation will affect the inner alchemy. It knows that you don't want to, so it won't break the elixir."
The night Mu Xingqiu's pill was almost broken, and his memory was also seen by Lan Qizhang as a research material. "It seems that only those disciples who just condensed the pill can easily break the pill, especially young disciples. They are impulsive and will have the ambition to die at a specific moment."
Lan Qizhang's conclusion was fulfilled in himself. He always thought he was ready, especially when he saw nearly 400 Taoist priests of Pangshan died in the Old Ancestor Peak, he believed even more that he could die with all his heart, because those people were role models, but when things came to an end, he realized that things were not that simple.
Lan Qizhang looked at Qin Lingshuang who decided to perform the art of breaking the alchemy on his behalf, "How could you not understand the art of breaking the alchemy..."
Fangfang smiled. She didn't blame Lan Qizhang for some things. There are some things that cannot be forced. The elixir-breaking technique is one of them. "I understand enough. You have said a lot, and I have seen a lot."
Lan Qizhang shook his head, and the fluctuations in his heart became more and more obvious. "You don't understand, it's not enough to just want to die. I can rush into the battlefield and fight with the demon clan without regrets, but I can't break the pill. Those who died at the Ancestor Peak still faced the Demon Fire Mountain even though they knew they would die, but they could not use the pill-breaking technique. Because we still have a glimmer of hope in our hearts. No matter how slim this hope is, the inner pill will not break."
He glanced at Zuo Liuying, "The Taoist sect has been strong for more than 100,000 years and has never been at a disadvantage in the struggle with the demon clan. To be honest, I think there are other ways to defeat the Demon Fire Mountain, but... the first one is unwilling to use it. Those fellow Taoists who died at the Old Ancestor Peak must have similar ideas, thinking that a miracle will happen at the last moment."
"There is no miracle in the Old Ancestor Peak." Fangfang said, her eyes crossed Lanqizhang and looked at the battlefield. She had just communicated silently with Zuo Liuying, and she understood many things.
"It doesn't matter if the miracle didn't happen. Those martyrs believe in miracles. Do you really think we must defend Duanliu City to the death? The Nine Daotong clearly has the strength to defeat the demon clan, so why does Pangshan Daotong have to sacrifice? Taking a step back and making the demon clan more victories will stimulate the Taoist dynasty to unite. At that time, the Demon Fire Mountain is vulnerable and there is no need for the art of breaking the alchemy."
Lan Qizhang became more and more eager to speak, and he never thought of many thoughts, but he said them from his mouth. As soon as he said it, he was convinced. The little fluctuation in his heart had now become a complete suspicion. "The art of breaking the alchemy is not the only choice. There is a reason for the Taoist sect to define it as a forbidden technique. Is it necessary to break the convention for a mountain of demon fire? This is not worth it."
He looked at Zuo Liuying again. The head of the Ban Secret Department no longer communicated with him. Lan Qizhang had to speak, "First, you actually have more powerful magic to deal with the Demon Fire Mountain. I know why you use the Broken Alchemy technique. You want to use this method to demonstrate to various Taoist priests, so that they dare not underestimate Pang Shan, whose strength is damaged. This is not worth it." He said in an emphatic tone, his voice seemed urgent, "Take back to life, because this move does not work, the strength of the demon clan cannot be compared with the previous demon clan. The Taoist priests have not yet reached the critical moment when they must use the Broken Alchemy technique. The Taoist priests cannot have a perfect ambition to die, even those martyrs, and Qin Lingshuang has not. You let her rush to the Demon Fire Mountain, but you just die in vain."
Zuo Liuying refused to answer, but Zeng Fu behind him was convinced by Lan Qizhang, "If the technique of breaking the alchemy is really so difficult, don't use it. Qin Lingshuang is a good girl and she still loves someone in her heart, so she shouldn't..."
Lan Qizhang's eyes suddenly lit up and pointed at Zuo Liuying and said to Qin Lingshuang: "Don't you understand yet? The head of the city had known for a long time that I could not use the magic of breaking the alchemy. I... you... he was playing tricks! He wanted to lure you to rush to the Demon Fire Mountain to die, because you can't kill the love disaster, and it's useless to have the spiritual bone root-"
Fangfang was slightly stunned. This was the first time she heard that she had spiritual bone roots, but she immediately smiled again, as if she had already obtained an explanation from Zuo Liuying, "You were wrong..."
"I'm right!" Lan Qizhang's voice became even more panicked, "Even you are not the true target of the leader, because you have something to do with your heart, it is even more impossible to use the magic of breaking the alchemy. His goal is Mu Xingqiu! Your death will stimulate that boy to be desperate, that is his personality! And he is the only person in Pang Shan who has had a broken alchemy experience, and it is easier to cast spells than others. Qin Lingshuang, wake up. If you really love Xingqiu, don't be used by the leader!"
Lan Qizhang spoke very quickly, his mood was already in chaos, but his thinking was faster than ever. He didn't want the female Taoist priest in front of him to die, even if she really loved another person.
"First, give up, don't use this insidious strategy. If Qin Lingshuang and Mu Xingqiu die because of this, I will not keep it secret for you. You will be ruined. Take the Patriarch Tower to retreat. You have made great achievements. Let's go to the Grandmaster Ning Qiwei, or find another famous mountain to rebuild the Pangshan Taoist throne. There is no need to stay in Duanliu City. Duanliu City, Zuo Liuying, this is your ominous place!"
Zuo Liuying still did not respond, as if she was unheard of it. Fangfang had already risen with his sword, and the battle outside the city was going too fast. Just as Lan Qizhang was talking endlessly, there were only five of the twelve golden men left, and none of the ten demon kings died. The human army was still fighting hard, but it was at a disadvantage. The Taoist priests and casual cultivators in the air were surrounded by a large number of magicians. There were not many magic weapons arranged by Shen Jixian, and Fangfang could not see Mu Xingqiu.
The Demon Fire Mountain is only dozens of miles away from Duanliu City. It is so huge that it seems that it can be pressed on Duanliu City after a round roll.
"Follow me." Fangfang ordered Lan Qizhang. She didn't have so much to say, only the most practical action. "This battle still needs you."
