Chapter 180: Chapter 171 Mei Hua Constant Number Theory, Taiji Thunder Seal (Two in One)

"In about two months, I suppose. As for the rewards, it’s still unclear. Previously, you hadn’t reached Core Formation, so you weren’t qualified to participate in this meeting. But now, you can."

Given the circumstances, Fire Cloud couldn’t justify suppressing Song Lin.

"Taoist Method Meeting..." This wasn’t the first time Song Lin had heard of this term.

He had seen similar articles in the Book Collection Pavilion before. Taoist Method Meeting covered a wide range of topics with many articles, though it lacked specific cultivation techniques. It generally only introduced basic concepts, which seemed useless at the time, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

"The Taoist Method Meeting is extensive, printed by the entire Wu State Dao Alliance, and divided into the Taoist School, Taoist Alliance, and Wu Country versions. Publishing any article there would make you famous in the future."

Beyond the position of Temple Master, cultivation is a fundamental requirement.

But cultivation alone doesn’t determine everything. If competing with equal cultivation levels, one needs to compare fame and Taoist Skill.

This isn’t something with a fixed standard; thus, it evaluates whether you’ve been featured in the Taoist Method Meeting.

The Taoist Method Meeting not only brings fame and improves the status of one’s talisman but also, if new insights are proposed that exceed the theories of a Magic Vein, people might travel thousands of miles to join, eventually forming a new forest of Magic Veins with time.

"I see." Song Lin suddenly realized.

In the Taoist School, besides strength, they also consider one’s proficiency in Taoist Skill.

Not knowing it before was normal. After all, not being an actual Temple Master, he wasn’t really qualified to participate in the magic meeting.

"Alright, count me in," said Song Lin.

It wouldn’t hurt to attend when available, and having a reputation would deter others from acting against him.

Moreover, the Great Refining God General Ceremony isn’t a life-and-death duel, just a competition in the art of Refining Soldiers.

"It’ll start in Yunzhou City, in the Holy Might Forest, in two months. Just bring the Taoist Leader’s decree to attend," Weixuan noted, and after bidding farewell to everyone, left immediately.

Fire Cloud’s face was indifferent, and with a cold snort, he too disappeared.

Only Song Lin and Chi Hai were left behind.

"Thanks to you, Taoist. That guy almost succeeded," Chi Hai said, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.

This attempt to seize the Taoist Leader’s position was a desperate gamble, with no chance to turn back.

If it failed, he might not survive until the next sixty years.

Given Fire Cloud’s vindictive nature, there’s a high probability it wouldn’t be possible.

Thinking of this, Chi Hai took out a yellow talisman from his pocket.

The yellow talisman was inscribed with flame-like patterns using cinnabar.

"If something comes up, don’t shoulder it alone; even contact through the Fire Talisman."

"Got it," said Song Lin, taking the yellow talisman.

"Alright then, I have other matters to attend to."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Hai turned into smoke and vanished.

Watching everyone leave, Song Lin descended to the Taoist Temple.

"Temple Master, it’s finally over." The people in the Taoist Temple breathed a sigh of relief.

No one expected such a tricky problem to be solved.

"Is it really solved?"

Song Lin remained silent. This matter had been resolved by borrowing power from various sides, all within a day.

Yet, it still had a significant negative impact on his reputation.

The turmoil of this event hadn’t passed.

It might even become a blemish in the future, brought up by others from time to time. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

After all, Heluo is his superior. This kind of matter is inherently complex, and he can’t wager on shutting people’s mouths.

Thinking of this, a vision of an old man’s appearance surfaced in Song Lin’s mind.

Chaozhen, if he heard of this news, would probably start rumors about him again from behind the scenes.

"With two months left until the Refining Soldiers Technique, it’s best to resolve the story world by then."

Song Lin thought to himself.

The story world is critical.

Emperor Sword, Sun Jade Carriage, and the Jade Scripture currently with only one character.

Most importantly, this world is where the avatar descends; if it perishes, it would affect the main body.

That’s not a big issue, but what Song Lin feared most was the loss of all knowledge in the story world.

He broke through Core Formation using the Divine Fire Refining Pill Technique.

If his memory vanished, would his level regress to the former state? The consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Song Lin returned to his secret chamber, and before continuing the world strategy, he had Shi Yinhua deliver a copy of Taoist Method Meeting.

"Temple Master, there are many volumes of Taoist Method Meeting. Which one would you like?"

Taoist Method Meeting has many sections, such as Refining Soldiers, Alchemy, Qi Refinement, and others, as well as regional sections for the State Mansion, Taoist School, and Taoist Alliance.

"Just bring some materials; start with the Taoist School and then some on Refining Soldiers."

Soon, thick books were placed before Song Lin.

The Taoist Method Meeting comes out annually.

Upon opening the Holy Might section on Refining Soldiers, there wasn’t much useful information, mainly theories on common Taoist Soldier modifications.

"Refining Skills of Rampant Soldiers and Zombie Joint Tombs," "Advantages and Disadvantages of Refining Live Taoist Soldiers," "Simplified Talisman Soldier Refining Skill," "Fifteen Methods of Corpse Refinement"...

Song Lin did find several cost-saving refining methods for soldiers.

One temple master claimed over a thousand experiments revealed many expensive herbs had lower-cost substitutes, saving both money and time, reducing costs by about a third.

This method wasn’t publicly disclosed but could be shared for a fee.

Song Lin skimmed through a few issues.

Finding not much useful, mostly improvements on existing Magic Skills.

None surpassed the Water Technique seen so far.

Then he turned to the part on the Taoist School.

There was much deeper knowledge here, eagerly shared.

In fact, there were no secret techniques, mainly Great Dao theories or Taoist doctrines.

"Master Lengshan’s Brief on Qi Refinement and Magic Veins," "Holy Might Heavenly Master’s Three Gods Birth Meeting Discussing Heavenly Human Connection Summary," "Mei Hua Divination’s Constant Number Theory," "Refutation of Determinism" (Taoist Zhi Xin), "Refutation of (Refutation of Determinism)"...

Besides Taoist theories, there were various ideological debates.
