There is a philosophy of life that goes like this: sailing a boat on the water, and then being hit by another oncoming boat.

If there are people on the other boat, the two sides may argue for a few words, curse at each other if they are unhappy, or even fight.

But what if the ship that hits is empty?
This is a kind of "inaction" - in modern terms, as long as I give up, I am invincible!

When Gu Yuan proposed to let an outsider into the Heavenly Tomb, a group of elders strongly opposed it and eventually forced Gu Yuan to retreat and let the other party prove himself in person.

The elders had already planned how to show their power and how to refuse and deny...but the other party just gave up?

The scene suddenly froze.

Qinghuan looked at the group of elders with an amused expression.

The elders were hesitant, their eyes constantly wandering between Gu Yuan and Qing Huan.

Let him go?
Gu Yuan's eyes were firm, this matter concerned the path to becoming the Dou Emperor, there was no room for negotiation!
Keep him?
Where would these elders put their faces?

"Have you thought about it?" Qing Huan said with a smile: "How about I go out first and talk to you guys after you have discussed it?"

"cough!"

An elder coughed and said, "After all, you are a ninth-grade alchemy master, so you are qualified to be a guest of the Ancient Clan. Anyway, the others will come in three days, so you don't need to make this trip, just stay here."

Qing Huan waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, don't make it special. I'd better leave first and come in with them in three days to watch the ceremony."

Having said that, he was about to leave again.

Seeing that the look in their family head's eyes was becoming more and more dangerous, a group of elders quickly blocked Qinghuan's way and urged him to stay.

Qing Huan asked back: "If I stay, can I enter the Heavenly Tomb?"

"This..." Several elders hesitated and said, "Stay here first... Anyway, there are still three days..."

Qinghuan turned and left.

Gu Yuan had a cold face and said nothing.

A group of elders were terrified and had no choice but to hold Qing Huan back again, gritting their teeth and saying, "Go in! We agree... but we don't care whether the leader of the imperial clan agrees or not!"

Qinghuan laughed.

When the elders' faces relaxed, Qing Huan slipped out directly from the gap between them...

"Etc., etc……"

A group of elders had very complicated expressions on their faces, and said, "You win, we will help you convince the other imperial clan leaders!"

Qing Huan swung his arms and said to Gu Yuan, "It's such a simple thing, how could you not be able to handle it?"

What can I say about Gu Yuan’s character?

indecisive!

A top-level fighting saint who is also the patriarch of a clan was actually controlled by the elders of the clan!
If this happened to Emperor Hun Tian, ​​who would dare to object?
Gu Yuan was speechless and said coldly: "I'll help you settle down."

……

After leaving Qinghuan in a bamboo building, Gu Yuan left without saying anything.

The environment of the bamboo building is elegant. From here you can see the entire building complex in the core area of ​​the ancient tribe, which is ancient and yet slightly festive as it is approaching the coming-of-age ceremony.

Qing Huan looked out for a moment and vaguely saw Gu Yuan and the group of elders entering a large hall together.

Smiling, Qinghuan turned over and went into the house, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Whether it was the light shield of the city outside the ancient world, or the space in the ancient world opened up by the Dou Emperor, Qinghuan gained some insights.

Why can the light shield and space last forever?

It’s because of the will of the Dou Emperor.

The soul of a normal person will dissipate after death. Once the spirituality in the soul is excavated and promoted to the spiritual realm, the soul can last forever... but this longevity does not mean that it will never disappear, it just greatly prolongs the time of disappearance.

Time is the most powerful weapon in the world, able to erase all traces.

The will of the Dou Emperor can override time...

Qing Huan could only think of one word, and that was "guarding the spirit" - just like refining the elixir, restraining everything and not letting it dissipate!

"Keeping vigil" means "guarding the spirit platform" in the Huangting Sutra. There is also a saying of "guarding the spirit" among the folks. It means guarding the spirit of the deceased and preventing it from being disturbed and scattered, so that the spirit of the deceased can be reincarnated.

In Neidan, the heart is the origin of the internal organs, the color of the south fire, and the residence of the spirit, so "guarding the spirit" is also called "guarding the heart."

Qing Huan's "Dapin Dan Jue" is all-encompassing, and can map the properties of alchemy to the great elixir of the human body.

For example, the fourth-grade Fengxi Dan, the corresponding human body elixir is "Xucheng", the color of gold in the west, the color of white lungs, its quality is light and empty, it can protect and refine the lungs. Another example is the third-grade Jiedu Dan and Mingmu Dan, the corresponding human body elixir is "Hanming", the color of the eastern blue dragon, the liver governs the eyes, it can protect and refine the liver.

Similar ones include "Soul Stopping", which means to protect and refine the spleen, "Weiming", which means to protect and refine the gallbladder, and "Yuying", which means to protect and refine the kidney...

Now I have made up for the task of guarding my heart and refining my mind...

Lock everything tightly, guard it, and then... grow!
Qinghuan's golden elixir is completely perfect!

……

In the ancient clan hall, at the spacious conference table, a row of old men were sitting there, and the atmosphere was quite dull and serious.

After a while, someone suddenly laughed and said, "This Li Qinghuan actually played this trick. Interesting!"

"He's interesting, and we feel so upset!"

"What's there to be upset about? To put it bluntly, we are asking for help from others... This is related to the path to becoming a Doudi, can't we just give up a little bit of face?"

"Clan leader, are you really sure that you are approaching the Dou Emperor?"

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, “I can only be sure that my cultivation, which had been stagnant for a thousand years, has begun to progress, and I feel as if I have been reborn.

But as I said, I am not sure if it is the Doudi path... The description of the Doudi realm recorded in the clan does not match my current situation!"

"So we still have to let Li Qinghuan meet Xiao Xuan and let him know what the Dou Di realm is. Only then can he adjust..."

"We agree to let him enter the Heavenly Tomb, but what about the other imperial clans?"

"The leader of the Thunder Clan is Mang Tianchi. He has a good relationship with Li Qinghuan, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"The Medicine Clan suffered a setback at his auction before, so I'm afraid they won't agree so easily."

"If it really doesn't work, we can give him a quota... Since the Spirit Tribe didn't come, according to the agreement, we can use the Spirit Tribe's quota, plus the Xiao Tribe and our own, a total of six quotas, give him one."

"Xiao Yan is here too, I'm afraid he will take up one spot."

"The Xiao clan has declined to this point, and is no longer among the ancient races. I think Xiao Yan should be able to figure it out."

"Xun'er's side..."

"It also depends on the level of Xun'er's awakened bloodline..."

"If Xun'er's bloodline is high enough, her say will be enough to help Xiao Yan win a spot..."

"Then it's settled. One spot will be given to Li Qinghuan. As for Xiao Yan... to be determined!"

"it is good!"

"..."

……

Qinghuan was awakened by the festive sound of gongs and drums.

After his soul returned, he found that he had been in a state of meditation for three days just because he was absent-minded.

It is true that there is no year in the mountains, and you don’t know the year until the cold ends!

After getting down from the step, Qinghuan stretched lazily, and his whole body made crackling sounds. A roar of beasts came from the door, as if a monster had landed at the door.

When Qing Huan opened the door, she saw Xiao Yan getting off a snow-white, sturdy unicorn.

Then he reached out and held Gu Xun'er's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled...

Qing Huan nodded and commented, "You look so silly... Do you really have to be so nagging in front of my door?"

Gu Xun'er blushed immediately, glared at him, and said, "Do you really think this place is your home? Are you still in seclusion here? If I hadn't discovered you when I came to find you before and told others not to disturb you, you would have gone crazy!"

Qing Huan curled her lips and said, "Since I dare to retreat, I am naturally not afraid of being disturbed!"

"Alright, alright, Qinghuan, we're here to pick you up to attend the ancient tribe's coming-of-age ceremony..."

Xiao Yan quickly tried to smooth things over and looked at Qing Huan. His expression suddenly froze, "Huh? Qing Huan, it's only been three days since we last met. Why do I feel like you're different than before?"

Gu Xun'er asked curiously, "What's the difference?"

Xiao Yan pondered and said: "I can't explain it...but it's really different!"

"Is it?"

Gu Xun'er looked at Qing Huan curiously, and after a while she asked in surprise: "Qing Huan, what about your cultivation?" (End of this chapter)
