Chapter 31 [My name is Daoyan, my soul controls the sword! ]

Logically speaking, such names are usually given by the elders in the sect.

For example, Patriarch Bodhi gave the Monkey King the Buddhist name Sun Wukong.

He thought Sun Wukong looked like a monkey and originally planned to give him the surname Hu, but because of the Taoist saying that "old yin cannot be nurtured", he changed his surname to Sun.

The Monkey King was ranked as the Wu among his disciples, so they gave him the Buddhist name Wukong, which means Sun Wukong.

However, Sun Wukong could not reveal the existence of his master, and he was a hands-off person who didn't care about anything.

The route number would naturally be decided by Lin Xun, and he could decide for himself.

The Taoist name is also very important, as it will be used as a card when you travel to the West in the future.

Some particular sects, after taking a Taoist name, have to hold a ceremony to confer a title, report to heaven and earth, and submit the Taoist disc with the name of their ancestors to let people know that such a person has existed between heaven and earth.

Lin Xun didn't have so many problems. He took the Taoist name "Daoyan" according to his own practice direction.

If his cultivation level improves in the future, he will become Daoyan Zhenjun or Daoyan Tianzun!
There is a certain explanation as to why he was named 'Daoyan'. Lin Xun was able to practice Taoism with the help of the Daoyan Treasure Mirror, which enabled him to make rapid progress in his cultivation.

As for the Taoist name, it is related to one's future path and cannot be chosen randomly.

If you just call yourself Taichu, Taishi or something like that, you don't have enough blessings in your destiny to suppress such a Taoist name, and it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

'Daoyan' is just right. With the Daoyan treasure mirror in hand, it is worthy of this Taoist name. All ominous disasters will be suppressed.

Recently, Lin Xun was thinking about spreading his own Taoist name so that when the common people worship and offer sacrifices, they would not be like headless flies, not knowing who the immortal they are worshipping is.

Seeing this, Lin Xun pondered for a moment and said, "You are so thoughtful. My name is Daoyan!"

After saying this, he did not linger any longer and turned into a beam of fairy light and flew away.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of all the villagers.

"So it was Immortal Daoyan. No wonder he had such magical powers. He killed King Qingjiang with one strike."

"Yes, Immortal Daoyan is so effective. From today on, I will worship him at home and worship him day and night."

"Yes, yes, go home quickly and prepare the incense burner."

………………

The common people were filled with emotion. They didn't know what the word "Daoyan" stood for or what its meaning was.

Any cultivator who can name himself with the word "Tao" is definitely not a simple person.

After all, what cultivators cultivate is the great Dao. If you have a Taoist name with the word "Dao" in it, you are naturally superior to others, and most people don't dare to use this name.

Not long after Lin Xun left, all the villagers returned home and shared the good news with the whole village.

Soon, everyone in Qingyun Village began to believe in Lin Xun, the Taoist Master Daoyan.

On the other side, after Lin Xun finished slaying the monster, he rushed to Heshi Village. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he returned to his place of practice.

A distance of one hundred miles is already very close for him now.

Ever since Sun Wukong bestowed the 72 Earthly Fiends Techniques upon Lin Xun three years ago, he has been practicing diligently day and night.

He has already mastered the art of flying to perfection, and it is not difficult for him to fly in the air on a daily basis.

During these three years, Lin Xun not only learned how to fly, but his cultivation level was also advanced from the initial stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation to the later stage.

Logically speaking, he had broken through to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Stage in three months, so in these three years, he should have at least broken through to the Spirit Refining and Returning to the Void Stage! After all, the time difference was more than ten times.

But cultivation is not calculated in this way. If we really look at it from the perspective of time, those old antiques that have survived for a long time are probably all very advanced in their cultivation.

The further you progress in your practice, the harder it becomes. You often need to put in ten, a hundred, or a thousand times more effort than before to make further breakthroughs.

It was not easy for Lin Xun to advance two small realms in just three years.

At this time, his primordial spirit was manifested, and he was not far from condensing his yang spirit.

In fact, his cultivation could have progressed faster. After all, he had the Daoyan Treasure Mirror, which allowed him to observe Patriarch Bodhi's cultivation process day and night.

Even though my talent is a little lacking, I can still rely on my ancestor to give me special treatment!
But the place where he was located was too desolate, and the resources needed to practice the Great Heavenly Immortal Technique were too huge, which slowed down his progress.

There is no way. There are few resources in the area of several hundred miles around the Two Realms Mountain, so cultivation is naturally slow.

Lin Xun was able to achieve such a level of cultivation because he often subdued demons and monsters, refined the blood, flesh and essence of monsters, and accelerated his cultivation. Otherwise, it would have been even slower.

In addition to his cultivation, what he was most proud of in the past three years was his excellent swordsmanship.

I have to say that the magical powers among the 72 Earthly Fiends are indeed powerful, and the swordsmanship is the best among them.

After comprehending this sword technique, one can comprehend the mystery of the unity of sword and Qi, which is the method of controlling the sword with the primordial spirit.

Unfortunately, Lin Xun didn't have a suitable sword in his hand, so he could only use his magic power to condense sword lights and go forward to kill the enemy.

Combined with the power of Hercules, this seemingly small sword light actually contains infinite power. It can pierce through the clouds and dawn, penetrate the sky, and break nothing.

This is also the reason why, although the Black Fish Demon has a higher level of cultivation, it is difficult to survive a round at his hands.

After all, this small ray of sword light contains the combination of two magical powers in the Disha magic. Such power is beyond the reach of some ordinary monsters.

If Lin Xun could have a sword that suits him, his power would probably increase by several percent.

At this moment, he finally understood the troubles that Sun Wukong had when he returned from studying martial arts in Fangcun Mountain and had no suitable weapon.

Especially some ordinary weapons, it is difficult to bring out the advantages of the opponent's natural supernatural power and great power.

The same goes for Lin Xun. An ordinary sword would be broken in just a few rounds under the blessing of the Hercules magic.

He knew that the sword was something that could only be found by chance, so he could only wait for the right opportunity to look for it.

Lin Xun was thinking in his heart, and seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back home.

At this time, the appearance of Heshi Village has already been completely renewed. After three years of reconstruction, the village has changed a lot.

All I saw were rows of newly built houses arranged in an orderly manner, stretching out along the village road.

The roads on both sides were very wide, enough for two carriages to run side by side.

As the saying goes; to get rich first, build roads first!
Three years ago, Lin Xun said that he would compensate the villagers and rebuild their collapsed houses.

Plus, this is where he grew up, so naturally it has to be well planned.

He moved the mountains away and planned the villagers' houses in a row according to the layout of a modern village, with each house having a yard in front of it.

As a result, everyone in the village was very happy and grateful to him. They felt that it was fortunate that Lin Xun was there that day. Not only could he keep them safe, but they could also live in a new house and even the road in front of their house became wider.

It can be said that his reputation in his hometown is unparalleled.
