This Black Water True Method has thirteen levels, and is the direct descendant of the Divine Sect Demon Sect.
When cultivated to the highest level, not only can the water flow be controlled, but also the power of real water can be integrated, and the black dragon can be transformed, flying in the clouds and mist, controlling thunder and lightning, creating clouds and rain, calling the wind and waves, with infinite power and great magical powers, which is not much different from the real dragons in ancient times.
Although the black dragon body transformed by the Black Water True Method to the extreme is not as powerful as the ten great demon gods of the Divine Sect Demon Sect, it is also a first-class magic. When it reaches the great success of cultivation, ordinary practitioners are no match for it. However, cultivation is very difficult. If you don’t have a brave and diligent heart, you will often stagnate and practice hard for decades without any progress.
Taoist Lan Li never told Jiao Fei about these things. The more you know about these taboos of cultivation, the more you will shrink. Jiao Fei was a young man. He had always admired the legendary immortals in ancient books. He was very diligent in his cultivation, which was in line with the state of mind of practicing the Black Water True Method.
Jiao Fei followed his master and lived in a very remote Taoist temple in Chang'an. Taoist Lan Li did not go out, but just meditated all day long. Jiao Fei did not dare to be lazy. He had nothing to do, so he spent seven or eight hours a day pondering the essence of the Black Water True Method.
The Taoist temple where their master and apprentice lived was very dilapidated, but there were more than ten acres of thin fields, which was considered to be some production, so they did not have to worry about food. There was only one old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, with two apprentices, both of whom were dying and about to die. They were ten times lazier than Jiao Fei's master and apprentice all day long. They often went hungry for three or five days before they could make a meal reluctantly.
Jiao Fei originally thought that this Taoist temple was very poor and had no food in stock, but later he knew the truth and could only remain silent and took over the responsibility of cooking.
Although Jiao Fei had never been in the kitchen when he was at home, this kind of thing was not difficult and did not require any talent. He could not make the most delicious food in the world, but it was a piece of cake to let the five people in the temple eat their fill.
Apart from these two things, Jiao Fei had no other troubles. He lived in this Taoist temple for more than ten days. He happened to hear a Taoist outsider passing by and talking about the day of the Chang'an Water and Land Conference tomorrow, so he wanted to go and watch the excitement.
However, Taoist Lanli was usually taciturn and a little difficult to approach. He was still a temporary apprentice, so of course he did not dare to take charge and leave the Taoist temple privately, so he went to ask Taoist Lanli for help.
Taoist Lan Li just woke up from meditation and heard that Jiao Fei was going to watch the Water and Land Assembly. After a little thought, he actually agreed and said, "Most of the people at this Water and Land Assembly are liars with little magic power, but there are a few masters hiding. You can watch the fun, but you are not allowed to cause trouble. I have a bag of gold here. You can buy a few Taoist robes by the way. Since you have become my disciple, you can no longer dress like a layman!" Jiao Fei took the bag from his master and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Even the richest family in Baishi Town may not have so much gold at home. It seems that the saying that immortals can turn stones into gold is not false. I will definitely be able to learn such magic in the future." This bag of gold made Jiao Fei more determined to seek the Tao. He went out and followed the route he usually asked the two little Taoist children in the Taoist temple where he stayed, and went straight to the widest Zhuque Street in Chang'an. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was the richest country in the world. Not only was the government politically enlightened, but there were also good ministers and famous officials to govern the country. There were also brave generals who expanded the territory and repeatedly went on expeditions to the Western Regions, and they all returned victorious. Their military prowess was at its peak, and the barbarians were submissive. In addition, the literary style was open, and many literary masters emerged, and their colorful articles far surpassed those of previous generations. The Western Regions and overseas countries all admired the Tang Dynasty civilization, which had a long history. There were often envoys coming to pay homage, and even the princes and rulers of various countries lived in Chang'an for a long time and were reluctant to leave.
Just the atmosphere of Chang'an City alone was enough to make a poem say: "The beautiful city and beautiful scenery are not enough, and the Western Region Hu girls dance gracefully."
Zhuque Street is the main street of Chang'an. From Xuanwu Gate in the north of Chang'an City to the front of the Imperial Palace, it is a straight and open avenue, wide enough to accommodate eight carriages running side by side. On both sides of Xuanwu Gate, there are East Market and West Market. It is the most lively and prosperous market in Chang'an City, even in the Tang Dynasty, or even in the world. Not to mention the products of the Tang Dynasty, even horses and weapons from the Western Regions, spices and exquisite things from overseas countries are all available.
The water and land conference that the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ying, wants to hold will be held on this Zhuque Street. Jiao Fei was a step late. When he arrived at Zhuque Street, he saw a sea of people on both sides of the street. He wanted to squeeze in, but he was exhausted. He could only move a few bricks from the outside and stand on tiptoe to look around.
From Xuanwu Gate, groups of monks and Taoists came in one after another. Some were dusty and ragged, but looked dignified. Some had their subordinates holding large trays, and some were playing music and drums, and were surrounded by people, but they sat still to show their superiority. The emperor of the day liked Taoism, so there were many people who came to Chang'an from thousands of miles away. Even Western monks and overseas eccentrics participated in this event.
After all, Jiao Fei had learned the Black Water True Method from Taoist Lanli for more than a month. He usually concentrated his magic power in his eyes, and could see a circle of faint spiritual light on the people around him. Although his eyesight was not sharp, he could see that nine out of ten of these monks and Taoists had no skills. The light in their eyes was scattered, and there was no spiritual light on their heads. They were obviously swindlers without any magic power. The remaining one-tenth, although stronger than ordinary people, also had their limits.
However, there were also those who looked quite strange. Jiao Fei watched for half an hour and saw a beggar with a giant snake wrapped around his waist, breaking into Zhuque Street. There seemed to be a red light in the beggar's eyes, and there was a faint black air rising from his head. Obviously, he was the master who hid among these scammers for some unknown reason as his master said. Even the big snake on the beggar's waist was red all over, covered with a layer of fiery demonic aura, with a faint horn protruding on the top of the head, eyes like lightning, snake tongue flickering, and its speed was like lightning, obviously not an ordinary thing.
The beggar had a ferocious face, and with such an evil thing wrapped around his waist, no one dared to approach him, and let the beggar stroll leisurely on Zhuque Street, as free and easy as a champion parading in the streets.
Jiao Fei was watching in admiration when suddenly someone pushed him from behind. Jiao Fei lost his balance and fell off the brick he was standing on. He turned around and was about to scold, but he saw a girl in white clothes, smiling apologetically. Although she was still young, she had bright eyes, white teeth, skin as white as snow, and a smile that made her look like a blooming exotic flower. She was truly a little beauty.
