Chapter 248: Continuing the Dharma Lineage

After everything was settled, Ruan Hantai brought the only two monks with relatively pure magic power in the temple to reorganize the mountain formation and dismantle some of the evil formations and sorcery.

At the same time, he taught the Errenzhuan technique Chu Tai gave him to cultivate the spirit and remove the evil spirits and the Ji Tu Tongyou Yang Shen method.

On the way, Ruan Hantai also asked the two's names and learned that one of them was called Qiuyun and the other was called Chunhui, and they were childhood sweethearts before they entered the Tao.

Because he was talented, he was discovered by the monks in the Taoist temple and was "sent" to the temple as a Taoist child by his family at an early age.

In their early years, the two of them also did some evil things under the influence of their surroundings, but they were kind by nature and had wisdom. As they read more Taoist scriptures, they gradually understood the difference between good and evil. They were the few wise people in the Taoist temple, but they were unable to change the structure of the temple, so they supported each other and practiced hard in seclusion.

Over time, he became a marginal figure in the dojo.

From Ruan Hantai's perspective, the reason why the two of them were able to stay out of trouble for the time being was largely because the Taoist in black robe wanted them to make progress in their practice, so he asked him to add two more ghost immortal bodies to his flag magic weapon, or to refine a Yin-Yang ghost flag.

"Although you have practiced hard before and the magic power you have honed is quite pure, your method is biased. The more you practice, the easier it is for the three treasures to become unbalanced. In the end, you will be forced to forge a Yin God, escape from your body, and forge a Dharma body. If you are lucky, you can achieve the status of a ghost fairy. If you are unlucky, you will become a spirit ghost."

After Ruan Hantai briefly informed the two of the situation, he went on to tell them about his subsequent plans.

"The Cultivating Soul and Removing Foul Qi you are practicing now is only of the eighth grade, but it can settle the turbid Qi in your body very well, so that your overly pure and spiritual soul cannot leave the body. Combined with the 'Ji Tu Tong You Yang Shen Method', it can warm the yang energy of the flesh body, purify the excess turbid Qi, and prevent the pollution of the soul. Then practice the Moving Corpse and Accumulating Earth to Bury Qi."

"There are many corpses in this temple. You don't need to move the corpses. Just pile up the soil and gather energy. During this process, you two must also transcend many grudges and save the souls of the dead."

"During this period, you can use the small amount of human essence Qi returned by the grateful souls to stabilize your spirit and soul, and lay a more solid foundation for forging a Yin God Dharma Body in the future."

Having said that, Ruan Hantai paused again, and took the two of them to open up the tens of thousands of abandoned debris piled up in the back mountain.

This was the place that the monks in the original Taoist temple used to cultivate some special materials. There were many residual souls and defeated spirits among them. Now they were just wailing unconsciously here, gathering Yin Qi and Yuan Qi, infecting the land and modifying its characteristics.

After years of influence, this place has now turned into an evil land where cold winds often howl and evil spirits abound.

If you look closely, you will see some plague-like disease energy gathering among the many mutilated corpses, forming plague seeds, which not only torture the souls of the dead, but also further pollute the place.

For mortals, entering this place means either a life worse than death or death with regrets.

With his eyes slightly closed, Ruan Hantai whispered, "If one day you can completely deal with this place, you can try to condense the Yin-Yang Chonghe Tomb Qi, or the Five Earths and Four Preparations Tomb Qi. There will be hope for immortal career in the future, but I probably don't have that opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Qiuyun and Chunhui hurriedly knelt down, but did not dare to speak.

As the two people in front of him had extremely clear souls and had not learned any special methods to protect their souls and hearts, Ruan Hantai's cultivation level allowed him to easily sense some of their emotions.

Although they were mostly afraid and terrified, they also knew in their hearts that Ruan Hantai's move was to restore order, and they were grateful to him for cutting off the evil karma of the sect. Ruan Hantai couldn't help but sigh: "It is a foregone conclusion that I will not have much time left, and you two are the only two people in this dojo who can be trained. In the future, this dojo will still need you to manage it, and the Dharma lineage needs you to pass it on."

"Among the rest, there are some with average talent but decent character who can be trained with care, but most of them are frightened by the fact that I killed a group of them. They have deep roots of evil and are difficult to tame. You need to discipline them with thunderous means."

After Ruan Hantai gave detailed instructions, he guided the two to begin their subsequent practice.

A period of time passed like this, and when Qiuyun and Chunhui's foundations were transformed into the grave energy that was more suitable for this place, some evil aura gradually emerged from Ruan Hantai's body, and the magic power around him became somewhat out of control.

This is exactly the sign of the wind-dispersing disaster.

Qiuyun and Chunhui also noticed something, and they became even sadder. During this time, Ruan Hantai treated them perfectly in line with their imagination of a teacher.

He will teach the Dharma well, point out the mistakes and shortcomings in my practice, and also think about my subsequent practice.

In particular, Ruan Hantai taught them the method of salvation, which allowed them to slightly sense the feelings of the remaining souls, feel the experience of death, and feel the deepest obsession in their hearts.

Although these feelings are apparent on the surface, it is precisely those experiences that have made them once again feel the preciousness of life and understand how precious life is. They realize how ridiculous it is to wantonly kill people in order to refine magic weapons and practice supernatural powers.

Ruan Hantai, on the contrary, became more open-minded about this. While teaching the two of them, he also reorganized his own method of cultivation.

Occasionally, when Chu Tai communicated with him, he would very directly ask Chu Tai about his opinions and some righteous cultivation concepts. He deleted many of the unorthodox and evil cultivation methods that he was going to pass down, and added some methods of exorcising spirits and summoning souls, as well as some cultivation methods that cooperated with ghosts and dead souls.

During this process, Chu Tai could feel that Ruan Hantai's aura was becoming more pure and holy, and his Dharma body was gradually taking on the color of glass.

This is a change in his original nature, and also a change that is in line with certain immortal paths in Daluo Heaven. To put it simply, what he does now resonates with the paths left behind by certain immortals, and is able to purify his own foundation.

'In your current state, if you make a vow, you can borrow the power of the immortals to temporarily suppress the calamity and postpone it for a while.'

Chu Tai's voice reached Ruan Hantai's ears. The ghost immortal just shook his head, continued to refine the magic weapons in his hands, chuckled and shook his head.

"Why suppress it? Everything I've gone through today is the manifestation of what I did in the past. I originally resented that evil disciple, thinking that he was deeply evil and caused me to fail in my cultivation. Think about it carefully, when I accepted him, did I really not expect this possibility? When I was teaching and receiving, was I really doing my best? I can't explain it clearly myself..."

Ruan Hantai looked back at Qiuyun and Chunhui who were practicing not far away, and chuckled, "Even if he is really evil and difficult to tame, if I had not bothered to teach a few more people, I would have met a good one. Now that I have returned to heaven and earth to repair the veins of this area, it is not a bad thing. But before these two little guys can protect themselves, I hope you can take care of them for a while."

Chu Tai did not answer, but Ruan Hantai stood up and walked towards the back mountain.
