Chapter 161 Yin Jing Inheritance
The earth's energy was churning, and on the silver-refined crane lamp post of the Taiyi Changming Lamp, many patterns were glowing with light. In the center of the half-opened golden lotus lamp bowl held in the crane's beak, a bean-sized flame also became brighter.

The turbid air in the earth's veins was constantly being burned, and the clear and spiritual air above the nine heavens was constantly being drawn down.

The spiritual energy accumulated here becomes lamp oil and is constantly consumed.

"Fellow Taoist, what are you doing?"

Lord Mingxia and Lord Feiquan looked at Chu Tai's actions, somewhat unable to understand. When they opened their mouths, they saw Chu Tai raise his hand and launch a thundering attack.

The sound of spring thunder exploded, and under the barren and decaying earth, the only remaining trace of life began to sprout. The remaining seeds pushed open the thick soil in the sound of spring thunder, showing the power of life.

Grass sprouts emerged, new buds grew, and the tender green color spread in all directions with the spiritual land as the center. Then, as Chu Tai raised his hand to summon a whirlwind, some branches, leaves and fruits rolled up and fell from afar, taking root and sprouting, allowing life to cover this barren mountain.

Life reappeared in the earth veins, and the light in the Taiyi Eternal Lamp was also tinged with some vitality.

Chu Tai took advantage of the situation and released his Nanyan Cave Fuxiyao Zhenqi, activating the five characteristics of "clear, spiritual, pure, clean, and alive", driving the power of the earth veins, imprisoning that inspiration, driving the vitality, and repeatedly cleansing the Taiyi Changming Lantern.

Seeing this scene, Lord Mingxia and Lord Feiquan immediately knew what Chu Tai was going to do, and sat on both sides to protect Chu Tai.

Vitality surges and the earth's energy changes. Chu Tai uses vitality and the earth's energy as a guide to refine the Taiyi Changming Lamp from being tangible and material to being intangible and intangible.

With a snap of his fingers, the flame on the eternal lamp, which was left with only a shadow, turned, and after containing about a quarter of the spiritual characteristics, it changed from being invisible and intangible to being tangible and substantial with Chu Tai's refinement.

During the changes in form and quality, the appearance and foundation of the Taiyi Changming Lantern remained unchanged, but its essence gained a hint of the pure and spiritual characteristics nurtured by the inspiration of this place, which made the Changming Lantern have obvious progress in subduing external demons and refining internal demons.

The remaining one-third of spiritual energy was dispersed by Chu Tai to various places in the barren mountains during the refining process to nourish the spiritual energy of the earth veins.

When everything was done, Chu Tai withdrew his true energy, and his dim spiritual energy immediately fled into the earth veins, never wanting to come out again.

Seeing this scene, Lord Mingxia and Lord Feiquan shook their heads.

"This little guy is really ungrateful. If you hadn't helped drain his vitality, how could this little guy have so easily developed spirituality and obtained the protection of the earth veins here?"

The words of Lord Mingxia made Chu Tai shake his head: "But to this little guy, what I did before was like a robber rushing into its home without any regard and robbing its accumulated wealth."

As he spoke, Chu Tai seemed to feel that this metaphor seemed a little wrong. He shook his head and said no more. Instead, he pinched his fingers and cast a spell to attract more vitality and energy.

The flow of vitality and life force nourishes the recovering earth veins. The mastery of Feng Shui brought by the [geomancy master] and the [wandering scholar] enables Chu Tai to better sort out the earth veins and make them operate more efficiently.

Abandoning a small amount of Nanyan Cave's Fuxiyao Zhenqi makes the perfection process even faster.

Lingji, who was hiding in it, discovered the changes in the ground veins. He first "horrified"ly stuck his head out, feeling the ground veins getting better and better. He thought he was "cautiously" approaching the vitality and vitality gathered by Chu Tai, swallowed a little, and then quickly hid in the ground veins.

After a while, Lingji poked his head out again, approached "cautiously" again, swallowed a little, and hid back in the earth veins.

After repeating this four or five times, I don't know whether the little guy, who had just gained spirituality, felt that his disguise was good enough, or realized that Chu Tai would not hurt him, so he swaggered around and immersed himself in the vitality.

"He's a big-hearted little guy."

Feiquan chuckled and showed a casual expression.

Mingxia shook her head: "The influence of the Holy King is more stable than we thought. I originally thought that this little guy already had some basic intelligence. But from his performance just now, this little guy only has simple spirituality, but no wisdom. Now he is not careless, but simply thinks it is better this way..."

"Okay, let's put this little guy's matter aside for now. Why don't you two take a look at my magic weapon after this refinement. Is it more mysterious than before?"

As he spoke, Chu Tai raised the Taiyi Changming Lantern in his hand and looked at the two fellow practitioners beside him.

Lord Mingxia stepped forward and took a look, showing a slight surprise.

"What a clever technique. It doesn't look like a simple fire refining. You also mixed some water washing methods into it." Hearing this, Feiquan Divine Lord looked at Chu Tai with bright eyes and asked, "As expected of you. How long has it taken you to cultivate the Fuxiyao True Qi of Nanyan Cave to such a level? I wonder which Yin Qi you used to cooperate with it?"

“Fellow Daoist Feiquan, you are overpraising me. I was just fortunate enough to receive some pointers in the Qingqing World, and understand a little bit of the mystery of the Pure Yin Transformation into the Heavenly Marrow True Qi. I still have a long way to go before I can combine Yin and Yang, or even tolerate Yin and Yang.”

Chu Tai's answer did not change Feiquan Shenjun's joy. He looked at Chu Tai and explained with a smile.

"There are many people who can comprehend the fifth-grade true qi at the sixth grade, whether it is me, Yin Jing or Taiyi Jinhua, but it is very rare to be able to do it at your age. You can also comprehend some of the changes of yin and yang and begin to comprehend another kind of fifth-grade true qi. It can be said that there is no one before..."

When Feiquan opened his mouth, Lord Mingxia seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at the inspiration in the vitality and life force, feeling a little bit of the Nanyan Cave's Fuxiyao true qi inside, and the inspiration that was not affected in any way.

He observed the inspiration carefully and found that the operation of the inspiration was vaguely in line with the changes in the Fu Xi Yao Zhen Qi in Nanyan Cave.

'Not affected?'

A smile appeared on his face, although he was not sure whether the changes before his eyes were due to Chu Tai's peculiarity, or because after he realized the pure Yin Huachen Tiansui true Qi, he had perfected part of the inheritance and stripped away some of the influence of foreign Taoist principles and laws.

All this means that Chu Tai seems to have found a possibility to pass on the sect's Dharma lineage. As long as he waits until Chu Tai comprehends the misty Qi of the Nine Springs, Mingxia feels that she can completely put her mind at ease and concentrate on preparing for ascension.

Thinking of this, Lord Mingxia couldn't help but turn his head to look at that inspiration, secretly thinking about the future inheritance in his heart.

Thoughts surged in his mind, and his eyes looking at the inspiration could not help but show some strangeness. When Chu Tai saw it, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you see anything, fellow Daoist?"

Mingxia Divine Lord did not hide anything and said frankly: "I just feel that if this spirit can take shape and be reincarnated as a human, it must have an excellent foundation and is a disciple who can inherit the Dharma."

"That may take some time. Fellow Daoist said before that this little fellow lacks wisdom. It will take at least hundreds of years for him to transform. It is not easy to reincarnate as a human. Although I have rubbed off some of the sharpness of this spiritual power, it is not something that ordinary mortals can bear and nurture. It will take at least sixty years to settle in the earth veins."

Chu Tai calculated silently and added, "After reincarnation, it will take at least half a century, or nearly a hundred years, to learn how to be a good person, practice magic, and finally achieve something. I'm afraid you two won't be able to wait."

Hearing this, Feiquan nodded. Now that the guiding fairy light of Lord Mingxia had been used by himself, the normal way of ascension was cut off.

If one wants Mingxia to ascend, the most effective way is for Feiquan to take him away, or for the two of them to accumulate enough merits and practice the corresponding immortal principles in exchange for a second chance to ascend.

But whether it is Mingxia or Feiquan, they are all influenced by the laws and principles of foreign lands, and they don’t have much time left. They need to leave this world before the condition in their bodies deteriorates further.

According to Lord Feiquan's own speculation, the two of them can only stay in the human world for a maximum of sixty years.

Lord Mingxia, who also understood this, sighed secretly, but soon he thought of a person who had looked for him in the land of Chu after Chu Tai disappeared.

"Come to think of it, Daoist friend, you seemed to have brought a cultivator named Guo Shan with you in your early years. After you were sent away by the True Lord, he also searched for you in Chu for a long time. I see that he practices tomb-related Qi such as moving corpses and piling up soil, returning to the nine origins, and he has a connection with my Yin Jing lineage. Daoist friend, are you interested in guiding him into Taoism after you have sorted out the classics of our sect?"

Hearing this, Chu Tai did not agree immediately, but asked: "Daoyou, are you willing to give it up? Daoyou Guoshan is not very smart."

"What do you mean by reluctant or not? It's good that he has someone practicing. Moreover, I think he has a lot of good karma. He will be a blessed person in the future. Maybe he can continue the inheritance for our sect."

Feiquan's eyes lit up when Mingxia said that the classics had been sorted out. After thinking about it, he understood why his fellow apprentice would say this. He hurried forward to add to the story, and then he and Mingxia looked at Chu Tai, waiting for his answer.

"This is related to Fellow Daoist Guo Shan's future situation, so I still need to ask him a few questions."

Chu Tai also knew the knot between the two and gave an answer that was not quite a promise.

Mingxia and Feiquan were very happy, as neither of them thought that Guo Shan would reject their family inheritance.
