First-time sign-in reward: a high-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, the Qiankun Ruler!
Reward for signing in for 30 consecutive days: Yellow-rank low-grade secret technique "Cantong Qi"!
Reward for signing in for 100 consecutive days: High-grade Xuan-level Heavenly Gang Divine Power "Summoning Rain and Wind"!
The rest are either points or spirit stones.
Needless to say, the points were a given, but the spirit stones were something Xiao Ning was seeing for the first time. They were small stones, about the size of a mahjong tile, smooth as jade, and bright yellow in color. Each spirit stone contained a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Spiritual energy is different from vital energy.
Vital energy is the general term for the energy of heaven and earth, including spiritual energy, earth vein lung energy, geomagnetic power, stellar power, solar power, lunar power, and so on.
Spiritual energy is merely the energy of the spirit. When cultivators first begin their practice, they can only sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only when their cultivation level is higher can they absorb all the primordial energy of heaven and earth for their own use.
These spirit stones were insignificant to Xiao Ning; they were merely the common currency in the cultivation world, which he could easily condense into spirit stones from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As for the reward for 100 consecutive days of check-in, for Xiao Ning, who already possesses three low-grade Earth-rank Heavenly Gang Divine Powers, the mere high-grade Profound-rank Divine Power "Summoning Wind and Rain" is not particularly remarkable.
However, the low-grade Yellow Rank secret technique "Cantongqi" that I obtained after signing in for thirty consecutive days was quite interesting.
As the saying goes, "Isolated yin cannot grow, isolated yang cannot produce!"
Therefore, when heaven and earth are in harmony, all things are transformed and refined; when men and women unite their essences, all things are born. This is the constant way to use in daily life. The true source is repeated, and there is an opportunity for yin and yang to reverse and interact. By slowly refining it, one can transcend life and death!
In layman's terms, this is a Taoist secret method of dual cultivation!
Dual cultivation!
Both Taoism and Buddhism have this practice. Whether it is the "Huangdi Neijing" of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of mankind, or the "Dahuanxi Chanfa" of the Buddhist Tantric sect, both are techniques for male-female dual cultivation.
Generally speaking, there are three types of dual cultivation methods:
I. The Method of Breath Intercourse: The other person's breath flows from them into me, and from me into them, like an endless cycle.
II. The Method of Qi Exchange: True Qi flows between each other without distinction.
Third, the method of spiritual communion: the interaction of thoughts, thinking of oneself as the other, and the other as oneself, the spirit and the other in harmony, the mind and spirit becoming one.
The path of dual cultivation is the great way of heaven and earth, the orthodox way, which has existed in ancient and modern times and is nothing to be surprised about.
However, upon suddenly obtaining a secret method of dual cultivation in Taoism, Xiao Ning wondered to himself, what was this hinting at?
After a while, he came to his senses and saw the shopkeeper already carrying several plates over.
"Sir, this is braised pheasant meat, and the braised rabbit meat is also ready. Please try it and see how my cooking is."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around to get the wine. Xiao Ning picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a bite, and had to admit, it tasted really good.
"The shopkeeper's skills are quite good. Why not open a restaurant in the city? Setting up a tea stall on this sidewalk is a waste of his talents!"
Seeing the shopkeeper bring over a pot of wine, Xiao Ning was full of praise.
The shopkeeper smiled, pointed to the backyard, and said proudly, "Hey, sir, you're joking. My grandson was just born, how can I make such a big move? I'll wait until he's a bit older before I open a shop in the city. At that time, I hope you'll come and support me!"
"Haha, okay, okay, I'll definitely go!"
After replying, Xiao Ning lowered his head and took a sip of wine. Then, he frowned but didn't say anything more.
The wine was murky and had a slightly sour taste of glutinous rice, with some lees floating in the bowl.
However, the taste is acceptable, with a sweet and sour flavor and a very light alcohol taste, somewhat reminiscent of the rice wine Xiao Ning drank when he was a child.
Thinking back to her childhood, scenes from her childhood came to mind.
"Before I can become an immortal, I must settle all my worldly karmic debts. My dead father and my mother who married out of the family... I'm in for some trouble!"
He frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Feeling utterly frustrated, he picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.
Then, he flipped his hand and took out a gold coin from his storage ring, placed it on the table, stood up and took a step, his figure was a hundred feet away, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a single leap.
Several drinkers who were laughing and joking were amazed when they saw this, and some of them praised it.
"This young Taoist priest is quite skilled, and his unrestrained and unconventional manner has the spirit of us wandering knights. Haha, let's have a big toast!"
One of the young men exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table, "This immortal master is incredibly skilled! I've missed a golden opportunity! If I had known this earlier, I would have kowtowed and become his disciple, learning even a fraction of his skills, and then I could have traveled the world freely!"
After saying that, his face showed deep regret!
………………
Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Qiantang County.
High in the sky, a streak of light streaked across the horizon, leaving a faint white trail in the blue sky. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at a small hill.
The light shifted, transforming into a beam that fell, revealing a white figure with an exquisitely beautiful face.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her nose was straight and delicate, her features were exquisite and gentle, and she was dressed in white, as if she were a fairy descending to earth.
It was Bai Suzhen, the white snake demon who had survived the tribulation of lightning on Mount Qingcheng.
She looked ahead and saw a dilapidated mansion. Bai Suzhen peeked out and asked, "Excuse me, is anyone inside?"
She asked several times, but no one answered. Feeling slightly relieved, she smiled and stepped into the mansion.
The mansion was overgrown with weeds and the buildings were dilapidated, but Bai Suzhen didn't care about these things.
