Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 346 - 302 Alchemy Law Lineage, Heavenly Master’s Second Disciple

Donghua Jungle.

The scale of it is clearly more than ten times larger than the previous Donghua Temple.

The entire back mountain of Shanyin County is equivalent to the jungle’s private territory.

The Taoist Temple only has the Three Capitals and Eight Deacons, but the jungle is different; it has Three Capitals, Five Masters, and Eighteen Heads.

The jungle has complex functions, a large number of personnel, and extremely intricate structures.

A hazy mirage covers the entire jungle palace, while the Thunder Mansion Ghost Soldiers patrol within the mirage.

In the sky, underground, underwater.

From time to time, a Taoist holding a jade plate passes through the mirage to enter and exit.

The back mountain.

The Taoist Soldier Hall occupies a vast area, with hundreds of Taoist soldiers guarding the place, not even letting a fly escape.

Inside the grand hall, aside from pillars, there is almost no furniture, and the floor of jade is spotless.

The spacious hall contains numerous dharma altars, with the central shrine offering various Taiji Thunder Seals.

Some seals are unclaimed, waiting for a Taoist disciple to break through Qi Refinement to be awarded a Taiji Thunder Seal and have their own private Taoist soldier system.

A man like a military general leads everyone standing before the dharma altar.

Among the crowd is a three-zhang tall monster with a hairy face and sheep horns.

The Taoists are performing spells around the monster.

This is Yang Xian, the last of the Mei Mountain Seven Monsters, whose true form is a Sheep Spirit.

Roar!!

Suddenly, the sheep-horned monster opened its eyes and roared in anger.

The entire grand hall began to shake.

The sheep-horned monster’s figure rose to ten zhang.

The crowd cheered loudly.

Wang Ziye let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, the last Little Giant Spirit God is completed."

"Bring the Spirit Pill immediately."

Only this last one of Erlang God and the Mei Mountain Seven Monsters remained unseparated.

Though they cannot use Erlang God and other Taoist soldiers after separation, the jungle gains eight powerful defenders.

Erlang God and the Mei Mountain Seven Monsters originally existed inside the Temple Emperor Seal, and mana input could summon them, allowing resurrection even after death.

This is the characteristic of Taoist Soldiers.

Now that they have separated from being Taoist Soldiers, naturally there are no marks for summoning.

In a deeper mountain forest, Shi Yinhua is studying how to combine the Five Immortals White Bone Dharma Form with the Netherworld Demon Technique.

Qingyu practices swordsmanship by the pond, graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a wandering dragon, beauty like jade, sword like a rainbow.

The pool is no ordinary pool; upon closer inspection, swords are embedded in the clear water, some intact, some illusory, some broken.

This is the Sword Pond Blessed Land, costing six hundred thousand a year, exclusively for the cultivation of the Swordman lineage.

The blessed land is within the jungle, accessible only to those with Taoist Merit in the Taoist Temple below.

The Spirit Sword is semi-transparent, light yellow in color.

This is the Spirit Sword, the Core Formation Middle Stage realm.

Qingyu’s talent is exceptional, and after years of cultivation, he has caught up with Yan Jiuge’s cultivation progress.

Every corner of Donghua Jungle is occupied by people diligently cultivating, and the jungle’s foundation is gradually accumulating.

Three days later.

A new Taoist Method Meeting was released.

This time, Song Lin appeared on the front page of the Taoist Alliance headquarters.

A piece from the headquarters is equivalent to ten from the Taoist School Alchemy Department.

Plus the previous five pieces, totaling fifteen.

He is just thirty-five pieces away from the Mage level.

The Taoist Alliance’s system is divided from top to bottom into Taoist Alliance Celestial Master, Taoist Heavenly Master (which is Palace Master), Master, Department Director (Taoist), Hall Master (Temple Master), Merit Officer.

Theoretically, the central is one level higher than the local, with the Hall Master’s status equivalent to a Taoist, and so on.

If you encounter departments like Heavenly Dao Office and Five States Society Commandery, the levels can be even higher.

The Mage’s status is slightly higher than the Department Director, below the Master.

The Grandmaster is higher than the Master, below the Celestial Master.

"The remaining thirty-five pieces will be done through pill recipes."

Song Lin thought.

Every improved or new pill recipe published can mostly make it to the Alchemy Department.

Once becoming a Mage, the next Phoenix Platform Dragon Throwing will definitely abdicate, becoming a leisurely Mage.

This has many benefits.

First, it can influence other jungles, even meddle in other jungle affairs, and might even be elected as the Taoist of other jungles.

Because the Taoist is elected by the whole jungle, as long as the jungle’s internal is non-opposed, outsiders can also be a Taoist.

If retaining the Taoist identity, the limitations will be significant, making it impossible to interfere in other jungle affairs.

With the Mage identity, Donghua Dao can be openly propagated.

As the Donghua Dao influence expands, it will undoubtedly conflict with other Magic Veins, with the Holy Might Heavenly Master-led Magic Vein being the first.

"Within ten years, breakthrough the second flower, achieve the third transformation in Golden Body, gain Mage eligibility, and win over the Yin Fu Two Jungles."

This is Song Lin’s next goal.

Although Chuu Yuying’s ban was lifted by the Celestial Master, having a few more cards never hurts.

Thinking of this, Song Lin continued cultivating.

The Pill Furnace blazed fiercely, slowly melting the golden sand.

This octagonal-shaped furnace, all purple-gold, was a gift from Wu Qingxuan, with the elixir named Xuanye Pill.

He obtained ten pill recipes in the Old Lord Hall of the story world, including Red Pine Pill, Wind Son Pill, Xuanye Pill... Dragon Tiger Great Returning Pill, Green Jade Dew Pill, Jade Liquid Bone Forging Pill, Kanli Xuanqi Pill, Xia Guangling Platform Pill!

Those with two words are Spirit Pills.

Those with four words are treasure pills.

The Xuanye Pill’s potency is two levels higher than the Qi Storage Pill.

Adding the Small Rejuvenation Pill method, it’s estimated that it will take less than a year to condense the second flower, which is the Purple Mansion Middle Stage level.

In the coming period, Song Lin mostly focuses on alchemy, occasionally practicing the Nine-Transformation Copper Skin Iron Bone Unbreakable Body.

Before the Supreme Elder’s Eight Trigrams Furnace is exchanged, Song Lin doesn’t have high requirements for this technique.

As long as the first transformation is entry-level and has a certain defensive capability.

Once the Eight Trigrams Furnace is exchanged, it will be the time for True Fire to forge the Golden Body.

Half a month later.

Golden light blooms in the chamber, with a faint glow emitting from Song Lin’s body.

Name: Song Lin

Realm: Purple Mansion Early Stage (Lead Flower)

Taoist Realm: Four hundred years.

Divine Skills:

Donghua Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Flying Immortal Scripture, Heavenly Escape Sword Scripture, Donghua Taoist Soldiers Xuanzi Secret Book, Shenxiao Thunder Skill.

"Phew, finally entry-level."

Song Lin exhaled a turbid breath.

"The Nine-Transformation Golden Body Method uses alchemy as the principle to cultivate the Taoist Body, with enough pill resources and refining the body with True Fire, it can be quickly cultivated."

Eight transformations requiring a billion years of Taoist Realm seems exaggerated, but it can actually be piled up with resources.

"Ah, it’s going to be expensive."

Song Lin chuckled bitterly.

This spell might not be able to be promoted on a large scale; perhaps the next Taoist can practice it.

Too much elixirs needed!

A Xuanye Pill or a Jade Pill costs about one thousand dharma coins.

For practicing the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, at least one pill a day is needed.

If adding the practice of the Nine-Transformation Body, that’s two pills a day.

Nearly three thousand dharma coins a day, a million a year.

If reaching a bottleneck, even more elixirs might be needed.

Need to make more money.

"However, after establishing a reputation this time, there should be many seeking pills."

Song Lin plans to gather some talented disciples tomorrow and recruit some people from the Heavenly Fire Temple.

Preparing to cultivate their alchemy skills.

With the Taoist Method of the story world, a Complete Alchemy System should be created.

Currently, the Holy Might Jungle does not have a relatively complete system for alchemy.

If nurtured now, it will be a huge source of wealth.

"No, perhaps the Alchemy technique can be combined with the Nine-Transformation Golden Body."

Alchemists have money, they can earn their own money, and at the same time cultivate the Golden Body.

The next day.

Shi Yinhua summons twenty people.

Among them, eleven are Taoist disciples, nine are Taoists.

All these were selected by Shi Yinhua according to Song Lin’s method, with strong flame affinity and sensitive perception.

Alchemy is essentially an intuitive technique.

"In the coming days, I will lead you in learning the Alchemy Path. Remember, I will only teach for three days! After three days, the outstanding ones will become the head of the Alchemy Department, enjoying the treatment of the Five Masters."

"Yes, Taoist!"

Everyone said excitedly.

Luu Yunsheng is also among them.

As a disciple of a military general family, he once imagined what Magic Vein suits him.

The most suitable is definitely the Taoist Soldier Technique; after all, he is a professional, followed by Swordman or Cultivation, even Horse Immortal Arts isn’t impossible.

Never thought it would be the Alchemy Path.

Stereotypically, alchemists are seen as having slender figures, how could someone tall and burly like him fit in?

For the next three days, they underwent emergency training in Song Lin’s World in the Pot.

Many have little talent for alchemy, with most only resonating with one of the three major schools.

Yet there is one exception.

"From now on you are the head of the Alchemy Department, stay for three more days."

Song Lin pats Luu Yunsheng’s shoulder, this kid, though in the Qi Refinement Realm, has exceptional talent, able to enter all three schools.

A few more days of training will allow him to make ordinary elixirs.

If costs are no concern, he should quickly grasp the Qi Storage Pill.

"Me? I’m afraid the disciple is unworthy!"

Luu Yunsheng said, overwhelmed by the honor.

"I wouldn’t say you could if you can’t."

Song Lin’s tone brooked no refusal.

In the following days, Song Lin took Luu Yunsheng to the volcano of the Heavenly Fire Temple for alchemy.

Under his hands-on guidance, Luu Yunsheng finally became proficient in making ordinary elixirs, with an 80% success rate.

"Once more skilled, consider making the Qi Storage Pills; for the time, lead the group in training, feel free to use materials."

Song Lin instructed.

"Yes!"

Luu Yunsheng said firmly, determined not to betray the Taoist’s trust.

"Good."

Song Lin flew back to Donghua Jungle.

On the way, he summoned Shi Yinhua to have someone deliver the elixirs to the Yuanfu Taoist School.

The Donghua Hidden Lineage has already followed Zhi Xin to the Yuanfu Taoist School.

"Let the weasel deliver the elixirs."

"Okay."

Shi Yinhua didn’t ask further; Song Lin didn’t explain either.

The Hidden Lineage is so-called because only the Taoist knows its secret.

Once he returned to the grand hall, a Taoist disciple came forward.

"Taoist, someone seeks an audience outside."

The Taoist whispered.

"Who?"

"The disciple isn’t quite sure, they are waiting in the grand hall."

Song Lin proceeded to the grand hall.

There he saw two men who bore a resemblance to each other.

Spirit Talisman, Spirit Sword?

It turned out to be the sons of the "Heavenly Master"!

"Two Taoist friends..."

Song Lin stepped forward for small talk.

"Congratulations on listing in the Taoist Alliance," Elder Brother Spirit Talisman said.

"Just luck, nothing to mention."

Song Lin modestly responded.

Unexpectedly, it was these two people who visited.

Could it be they wish to befriend him?

After some chitchat and flattery, Spirit Talisman got to the point.

"Taoist friend, are you interested in alchemy? Pill recipes made by the Small Rejuvenation Pill method, provided by us along with materials and alchemy fees."

"I can, but I am in seclusion recently; it may take some time."

"Three pills a month will do."

"Alright."

Song Lin nodded, three pills would earn a few tens of thousands.

Consider it a goodwill gesture.

"Good, the deposit and materials are all in the storage bag."

Spirit Sword placed the storage bag on the table.

The pair soon departed.

Watching their backs, Song Lin was silent.

These two probably don’t know the real identity of the Heavenly Master.

If they knew, would it be even more interesting?

He didn’t believe there would be no loyalists to the original Holy Might within the Ghost King Sect.

But it must be done covertly.

If trust is lost and the Heavenly Master becomes aware, Song Lin would undoubtedly face death.

Best to first establish a good relationship, ideally have Zhi Xin make them discover the secret unintentionally.

With this thought, Song Lin flew to the Qimen Jungle and Five Qi Jungle outposts.

Both jungles, like Donghua, had branched out independently and are descendants opposed to the Ghost King Sect’s Yin Fu Lineage.

Song Lin planned to use the pretext of acquiring certain materials to visit.

To see if these two jungles are aware of the matter.

If able to gain these two jungles’ allegiance, Song Lin would hasten to achieve Mage status and have the eligibility to interfere in their internal affairs. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This brings thirteen jungles with three being their people.

...

Qimen Jungle is a very peculiar jungle.

A hidden presence in the market, their disciples mostly live among mortals.

The jungle palace has never been exposed to the public eye.

Following Zhi Xin’s method, Song Lin arrived at the county, walked to the thirteenth cross-street facing the fourteenth wall.

Three... two... one.

Suddenly crashed towards the wall!

Swish!

The figure melded into the wall.

...
