Yinshan Record

Chapter 488 Rapid Progress, Saving Lives
Liu Tixuan gently opened the Dragon Marrow Jade Cream in his hand, and a faint fragrance immediately spread throughout the training ground. This Dragon Marrow Jade Cream is made from the spinal marrow of a dragon and a special jade essence from the Western Kingdom. It can reverse injuries and restore vitality. Because it contains dragon spirit energy, it has a special effect on various fire injuries.

If this one bottle were placed in the East China Sea, it would be priceless, because having such a bottle of elixir is equivalent to having an extra life when facing an enemy's fire-type divine power.

Yu Lizi's alchemy room was naturally full of good things, and Liu Tixuan would not be stingy with his master. The jade essence used to prepare this medicine was plentiful in the Lesser Pure Void Realm first opened by Huang Tiandao, and as for the dragons used to prepare the medicine, the sect had countless of them.

Liu Tixuan could make this ointment himself.

Although his cultivation level was not high, his vision and understanding of the Dao were actually quite profound.

This senior disciple was born with a pair of Daoist eyes, able to observe the changes of the six qi, the birth and death of yin and yang. Ordinary supernatural powers could be seen through him and he could see the mystery of the Daoist methods used and what flaws they contained.

Such a profound and insightful eye would be called the "True Dharma Eye Treasury" in Buddhism. It is a first-rate supernatural power that can only be possessed by nature and cannot be cultivated.

The eldest brother's cultivation level is inferior because of this Profound Dao Eye.

When ordinary people first begin their cultivation, they naturally have many flaws. However, this is like a broken car that has just been driven on the road. As long as it can run, there is no need to care about its shortcomings. But in front of the Dao Eye of Profound Understanding, even the eldest brother's own shortcomings are like an insurmountable threshold that must be polished to perfection.

Take Su San Gongzi for example. He has made rapid progress, reaching the level of a pivotal figure in no time. However, his path ahead is not very stable, and there are still many areas in his cultivation foundation that need adjustment and improvement.

However, Young Master Su could leave these things for later, after he had achieved the Bu Xu stage, to refine them slowly.

But for the eldest brother, it meant being perfectly harmonious and unhindered from beginning to end.

It's like climbing a mountain. While the Third Young Master Su and the other cultivators made their way up with ease, the Eldest Brother, despite possessing a treasure, found the weight of it making his journey extremely difficult.

"Senior Brother Ti Xuan, please have mercy! Please have mercy..."

Su Che let out a soft cry of pain, and Liu Tixuan gave an awkward smile.

"It's alright, junior brother. It's all burnt, so you shouldn't feel anything."

"No, senior brother, you stepped on my leg."

Young Master Su looked at his left side, from his shoulder down to his right hand, which was now charred black, all from the fire Yu Lizi had just burned.

At this moment, on the training ground, one can still see the six-horned fire ox, the galloping fire horse, and the fire snake with wings on its back. The fire beast that Yu Lizi conjured with his magic power is still roaring ferociously around Su Che.

"When fighting, the two most important factors are speed and distance. The former guarantees the latter. If you can master these factors, even if he has a thousand techniques, he cannot harm you. You have the Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Aurora Orthodox Method. Primordial Magnetic Aurora is one of the fastest speeds in this world. You were too slow to dodge just now."

Yu Lizi slowly shook her head and said, "If you are too slow to dodge, it doesn't matter. The key is to prevent the opponent's magic from truly harming you. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Everything is in flux and cannot be judged by conventional methods. If he uses fire to burn you and you can't dodge it in time, you must use other methods to counterattack."

"The method of countering is almost like playing chess. He attacked me with lightning magic, so I responded with magnetic energy. Just now, when the fire beast was about to strike, you subconsciously attacked with your sword energy to cut it off, but you didn't expect that I had hidden lightning magic transformations within the fire beast. Lightning and fire flowed together, forming a shockwave. If you could cut off a sword cultivator who relies on laws, your sword strike would be considered a method of response. Unfortunately, you only used brute force to counter divine abilities."

Yu Lizi shook her head.

"That would be a rather inferior approach. Putting aside the distant past, regarding the Five Elements' mutual restraint, if you summon a cold aura to counter it, wouldn't that reduce some of the changes? If you don't have confidence in your Five Elements' generation and destruction method, then you should use the Xuan Yin method to summon various ghosts and spirits to obstruct it with Yin energy. But you have left everything to your first instinct."

"If one can cultivate to the point of Void Step, or even achieve immortality, and possess a strong and stable innate spiritual root, one might be able to have a flash of inspiration and respond correctly. But what if one's spiritual root is insufficient? Then one must think carefully, like playing a game of chess. But what if one cannot think in time? Either one is thinking too slowly, or one has not left enough space."

Yu Lizi shook his head and said, "This is just a simple matter of the five elements' generation and destruction. What if someone attacks the soul with demonic methods or forces their way in with brute force? How would we deal with that?"

"Therefore, when facing an enemy, first observe his methods and patterns, guess his various variations, and then compare the two sides to see where I am strong and where he is weak. Use my strengths to overcome his weaknesses and use my weaknesses to avoid his strengths. Do not be reckless and confused, thinking that your own magical power is unparalleled and forcibly take action. You must know that many skilled people have died because of this."

Su Che grumbled and complained that Yu Lizi had been beating him up for almost half a month. Every day, he was sent to his mentor for personal training. He was subjected to all sorts of tortures, from being drowned and burned to being struck by lightning and cleaved by knives.

After being brutally beaten, you still need to carefully study and analyze why you were beaten so badly. It's true that you can't stop Changsheng Zhenren's attack, but Teacher Yu Lizi has already made it clear that he has suppressed his power to the level of Buxu.

In this situation, if you still get beaten up, it's somewhat understandable if you're just lacking in cultivation level.

After all, one is the key figure in the process of obtaining the Elixir of Immortality, and the other is a Longevity Immortal renowned for his magical prowess.

However, even if you can justify it, you'll still get beaten up.

Not only must they be beaten, but they must also explain why they were beaten.

He could only manage a few words, but this kind of special training involving beatings was indeed effective. At least Su Che felt that he had improved a lot. When he first started getting beaten up, his whole body was almost turned to dust by his old mentor. Now, at most, he would lose an arm or a leg. He had truly made rapid progress.

Moreover, Su Che also received a second benefit: the jade pendant sent by the people from Xuandu Palace.

This thing contains a bit of the true meaning of the "Taiyi Donghua Jade Book". Su Che didn't really have any concept of the ancient Qing Emperor's method, but after being beaten up for the past few days, he has gained a small understanding of this classic.

This supernatural power has a fundamental structure, one of which is saving lives and healing the wounded.
