Chapter Seventeen: What is the Way's Meaning?

hem.After all, even the Six Great Hidden Sects, though their fame isn't widespread, they at least know the origins of the Six Great Hidden Sects and understand the background of their respective famil...After sending Dongfang Bo off, Jiang Yun curiously picked up the storage ring. Spiritual energy surged into it, and an illusory space one meter in diameter appeared before his eyes. Inside, there were two books laid out.

A storage ring, belonging to the category of spatial artifacts in magic tools, is something that almost all cultivators possess. Magic tools have different ranks, with higher ranks indicating better quality. This ring isn't even a first-rank artifact, so its space is quite limited.

As Jiang Yun recalled Dong Fang Bo's teachings about artifacts, he retrieved two books from the ring. Just as he was about to open them, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.

This caused him to involuntarily smile wryly. Although he had become a cultivator and gained spiritual energy, which could alleviate his hunger pangs, he hadn't eaten in two days and two nights. Furthermore, after consecutively clearing three meridians and expelling so much impurities from his body, his stomach finally started protesting.

Unable to do anything else, Ginger Cloud could only temporarily put the books aside and took a jade bottle instead. He poured out a Qi-Conquering Pill from it.

As for medicinal pills, Ginger Cloud was not only familiar with them, but in the sixteen years under his grandfather's tutelage, he had already forgotten how many he had refined.

However, he had never refined a kind of fasting pill that could serve as food. After all, there was no shortage of food in Mangshan Mountain. Various plants and animals could be used for consumption, so the pills he refined were mostly used to treat injuries and detoxify.

Years of experience refining pills also made Jiang Yun extremely interested in various types of medicinal pills. As for the Dao Body Pill and Qi-引丹 he had previously swallowed, because of the situation and his emotions at the time, he didn't have time to pay attention. So now, holding this Fasting Pill, he did not immediately take it, but carefully examined it.

He wanted to see what difference there was between the pills taken by cultivators and the pills he had refined in Mang Mountain.

The Piguodan is only the size of a cherry, pale yellow in color, and with a slightly granular surface. When held to the nose, one can faintly smell a hint of fragrance.

Jiang Yun sniffed and muttered to himself, "Made with rice as the main ingredient, supplemented with ten-day fruit and green willow juice. I don't know how the alchemist made it, but the fire control technique is not good, otherwise the surface of the pill wouldn't be so rough, and naturally the efficacy wouldn't be very good!"

Although Jiang Yun spoke casually, if these words were heard by other cultivators, especially pharmacists, they would be utterly shocked.

To know, alchemy besides needing materials, the most important still needs a recipe, that is, the specific material ratio and methods required for refining a certain kind of elixir.

A prescription for a pharmacist is absolutely invaluable, because each one has been developed after countless failures and is not easily shown to others.

However, Jiang Yun could tell the materials contained within the Pill of Fasting merely by its scent. Although he couldn't deduce the specific formula, it was still quite rare.

Even Jiang Yun was confident that if he had enough materials, given a few chances to experiment, he should be able to refine the Pigu Dan and its effects would definitely be much better than the one in his hand!

But now Ginger Cloud naturally couldn't go to refine the Fasting Pill, so after researching it for a while, he put the Fasting Pill into his own mouth.

However, a sudden change occurred!

Just then, he saw a faint glow emanating from the triangular black stone hanging on his chest. Immediately after, there was a "pop" sound, and the longevity pill that he was about to swallow exploded directly.

This deja vu scene naturally made Jiang Yun think of the exploding answer mirror earlier, and at this moment, he finally confirmed that he didn't hallucinate back then.

Even this time, he saw more clearly that when the fasting pill exploded, there was a wisp of light the size of sesame seeds inside, which was suddenly absorbed into the black stone.

As the last rays of sunlight faded, the black stone instantly returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened at all, except for some traces of Piguandan powder remaining between Ginger Cloud's fingers.

"What's going on" Jiang Yun was stunned, utterly bewildered. The only thing he could be certain of was that the black stone had absorbed something from the fasting pill.

The black stone was the only thing Gingercloud took with him when he left Ginger Village. It was a gift from Ginger Yue, who had entrusted it to him and reminded him repeatedly that it was her "treasure."

To be honest, Jiang Yun had never considered it a treasure. He thought it was just Jiang Yue'er's childish words. But since it was given by Jiang Yue'er, it represented a connection between him and Jiangcun. That's why he carefully hung it around his neck. Every time he looked at the stone, it made him feel as if he were still in Jiangcun.

But now it seems that this stone, is really a treasure!

> "My senior brother once said that there are indeed many rare and precious treasures between heaven and earth. Some are artificially refined, while others are formed naturally by heaven and earth. It's just a matter of not knowing what kind of treasure this stone is, and what its function might be"

Jiang Yun's first thought was naturally to ask Dong Fang Bo, but in the end, he decided to do some research himself first.

After all, if it truly is a treasure, then as Dongfang Bo said, the fewer people who know, the better.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Yun poured another Pill of Fasting from the bottle. Just like before, he slowly placed it in front of him. However, this time, the black stone remained completely unresponsive.

"No response Did you miss a step"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun decisively repeated all the actions he had taken when he first retrieved the first Longevity Pill, even down to the exact timing, but the stone remained unresponsive.

"Are there any differences between the two pills" Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, shaking his head and looking carefully at the pill in his hand. "It shouldn't be, their ingredients are exactly the same."

Next, Ginger Yun decisively poured out all the remaining pills from the bottle and began to experiment one by one. However, the black stone remained completely inert, as lifeless as ever.

"What on earth is going on Why only the just-used Fasting Pill and the previously used Mirror of Inquiry explode when they get near this stone"

"Ask, Way, Mirror!"

Repeating these three words, Ginger Cloud's mind suddenly lit up. She suddenly remembered what Xiao Yi Shu had said, asking, "Mirrors contain the Dao's intent, and therefore can judge whether one can condense a Dao Spirit in the future."

"Dao Yi!" Jiang Yun's eyes lit up. "When the Pigu Dan and the Wen Dao Mirror exploded, what did the stone absorb from within Could it be... Dao Yi"

"Can words describe Tao What is it"

The next moment, Jiang Yun suddenly stood up, packed everything away, swallowed a Qi-refining pill, and immediately left his courtyard, walking towards Dong Fang Bo's residence.

"The Way"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's question, Dongfang Bo's eyes lit up again, and he excitedly rubbed his hands together, saying: "Jiang Lao Di, if everyone could be as eager to learn as you, as good at discovering problems, that would be great! Come on, come sit down, I'll explain to you in detail what Dao Yi is!"

Although Ginger Cloud's scalp tingled a bit, he had no choice but to sit down obediently in order to figure out what Dao Yi was.

"The Way, simply put, is the meaning of The Way. In reality, it's a kind of formless and intangible existence, something you can't see or touch."

But if you delve deeper, the meaning of Dao becomes quite mysterious and complex! There are myriad Great Daos, and all things contain the Dao. Therefore, this Dao intent is also all-encompassing. For example, there is sword Dao with its own meaning, and tool Dao with its own meaning.

"The way's essence is randomly hidden within all things, but relatively speaking, objects related to cultivation tend to contain a higher probability of harboring the way's essence. For instance, the divination mirror you used when testing your spiritual aptitude contained a certain kind of way's essence, allowing it to sense the possibility of you forming a Dao spirit in the future."unrealistic.""However, if I have the chance, I still want to collect some imperial artifacts, for the Ancient God Spear, for my grandfather, master, and parents!"At this time, Gao Song and Gu Qianxi j...
