Wet viviparity

Chapter 788 Poisonous Sun, Eighty-Two
Upon seeing the line of words on the cloth, Ji Ming's expression changed drastically, but then returned to normal in an instant.

"Within the mountain gate, there is Senior Uncle Li Zhu in charge, assisting the True Lord in regulating Yin and Yang, following the four seasons, and nurturing all things. I have only made shallow contributions, how dare I usurp a high position and discuss important matters with Senior Uncle and the other elders?"

Ji Ming put away the cloth and said, word by word.

Master Taihe and Master Moyazi exchanged a glance. Before this apprenticeship ceremony, they had indeed received secret instructions from Master Lingxuzi to build up their momentum in preparation for Master Lingxuzi's future return to the Three Peaks and One Prefecture.

According to the original plan, Ling Xuzi would not make any statement for the time being, and would wait and see the reactions of certain people in the Upper Mansion. Why did he change the plan at the last minute?

They knew that Ling Xuzi was accustomed to planning carefully before acting and would never easily change his established plans. Clearly, there was something on that piece of cloth that caught Ling Xuzi's attention, which led him to change his mind at the last minute.

"Back!"

As soon as Ji Ming finished speaking, the enormous willow shadow began to shift from solid to ethereal, its roots slowly detaching from the void and the earth's layers. The yellow of the Earth element and the green of the Wood element flowed back like rivers flowing into the sea, their strands swirling back and gathering entirely into the clear light.

Inside the Crane View Hall, the cloth was passed to core members such as Rat Four, Wen Daoyu, and the Two Lords.

"master!"

Rat Four's expression changed drastically, while the others were puzzled.

"How did he know about this? Did he leak it to me?"

"What do you know?"

Ji Ming waved to Rat Four and said.

“Master once instructed me to set up a poisonous yang sha cave. Isn’t that sha cave located in the Heavenly Fire position of Tianteng Mountain? Although I don’t know the details, I know it is related to Master’s secret refinement of a treasure. The crying hemp must have been calculated from me.”

"Stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that Shu Si was unusually remorseful, Ji Ming said, "If Ku Ma were to calculate from your perspective, how much would he know? The evil acupoint can be changed, and the timing can be chosen again, but how can Ku Ma be so sure that I will refine the treasure in the eighty-second year of the Spirit Treasury, six years from now?"

Behind them, there must be a being with extraordinary abilities assisting them.

The second step in refining Ji Ming's Ruyi Treasure, "Natural Force," requires finding a Poisonous Yang Sha Cave, placing the pre-refined Yin-Yang Ruyi Cloud Handle inside, then melting the Yangzhi Treasure Light Pendant into the Lingzhi Top, and melting the Zanxin Yin Pearl into the Ling Pearl Bottom.

Then, a large amount of "merit gold flowers" are added to the cloud-shaped neck of the Ruyi to achieve the true meaning of "water and fire not yet in harmony," and the deity is invited to consecrate it. Only then is it considered to be completed.

This Poisonous Yang Fiend Cave was selected long ago with the help of Wen Daoyu, and then Rat Four went to set it up. It is located within the Heaven and Earth Fire position of Tianteng Mountain.

Ji Ming chose this place for two reasons. First, it was the place where the Weide Old Mother lived and cultivated in seclusion, and it was the main base of the Tianteng Mountain sect. Based on his trust in the Weide Old Mother, the leader of the Southern Wilderness with an extremely righteous reputation, there was no other Poison Yang Sha Cave that was safer and more secure than this place.

Secondly, Tianteng Mountain is one of the blessed lands in the world, located in the Li Fire position, and its quality is the best.

In Ji Ming's plan, in the 82nd year of the Lingzang era of Daba, which is six years later, the extreme yang in the Poison Yang Sha Cave will turn into the sun, generating an excessive yang force. At the bottom of the cave, extreme yin will be generated. For at least ten years afterward, the yang fire in the cave will be impure. Therefore, the best time to refine it must be before the 82nd year of the Lingzang era.

Of course, if Ji Ming isn't in a hurry, he can wait.

Unfortunately, we are currently in the midst of a great calamity. If he wants to rise to power by taking advantage of this calamity, the Ruyi Treasure must be born as soon as possible in order to ride the wave of the times. Therefore, Ji Ming cannot wait any longer. If he is slow in one step, he will be slow in every step. The times will not wait for those who hesitate.

Regarding this Poisonous Yang Acupoint, no matter who it is, Ji Ming only explained the matter without revealing the details. Even if they had their own guesses, they would certainly be far from the truth.

If the Old Ancestor of Crying Hemp were to start from the people around Ji Ming, not to mention that he didn't have the assistance of the God of Pupils, the calculation process would definitely be mentally and physically exhausting. It would take him at least a hundred or eighty years to even get a glimpse of the surface, let alone to calculate to this extent.

"Who is helping him?"

Ji Ming thought to himself. He didn't dwell on the issue; he already had someone he suspected, and his immediate priority was to push forward with the contingency plan.

He is passing this cloth around now so that everyone will understand that something big will happen in six years.

Above the East Sea, the Crying Ancestor and the Horse King Little God each transformed into spiritual light and fled here from afar.

The two never spoke a word to each other along the way. Kuma flew ahead, while Ma Wang Xiaoshen chased after him, showing a certain tacit understanding.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor Kuma couldn't hold back. He stopped at a wave peak over a hundred feet high, landed on it to rest for a while, and said to Ma Wang Xiaoshen, "You've been following me from Heshan for months, stopping and starting. You just want to know why I haven't taken action to support Baiqin Shangzhen."

"Why?"

Ma Wang Xiaoshen first asked a question, then said, "I, Xiaoshen, am also a leader of the unorthodox sects in the Central Plains. This time I came to support Baiqin Laoguai, but at the crucial moment I left without a fight. In the future, I will surely be ridiculed by my fellow practitioners. I have given Lingxuzi a great reputation for nothing."

"This whole affair stems from you. I won't let it go until you explain the whole story."

“I have my own reasons for leaving. If you don’t stay, it’s only because you are suspicious. You know that I, the ancestor, am good at predicting things. I think there is a huge trap in there. You would rather leave the mountain with me than stay and observe for a moment.”

This led to the downfall of the mighty old demon, Baiqin Shangzhen, who was destined to die at the hands of a few juniors.

"You old dog, do you really think I wouldn't dare to use violence to force you to tell the truth?"

Seeing that Ma Wang Xiaoshen was adopting a desperate, reckless stance, Ku Ma Laozu chuckled and said, "Don't rush. I'm letting you come with me, so there are some things I need to reveal, but knowing too much won't do you any good. Don't you agree?"

Enraged, Ma Wang Xiaoshen rushed into the sea and caught hundreds and thousands of strange fish and shellfish of all sizes, then used his magical powers to slaughter them to vent his anger.

"If you hadn't left halfway through, I might have already obtained the Hundred Birds Inspiration Minor Derivation Number promised by the Hundred Birds Old Monster, and been able to predict the mysteries. Why would I have to suffer your wrath here?"

After saying that, he sat down on the crest of the wave, fuming.

"At the end of the East Sea, there is a famous hill where my beloved disciple, Xiao Qinggu, and her husband, the Old Ancestor Hengheng, live. In that extremely desolate place, they spread wonderful teachings to millions of living beings, stimulated their wisdom, and created a wonderful world of entertainment."

I am going there to lend him and his wife a helping hand.

"Hmph, Ancestor, who are you, esteemed master?"

Ma Wang Xiaoshen's eyes lit up, and he turned to himself and said, "To be able to live in such a remote and desolate place as Diqiu, one must possess endless profound techniques, and one's temperament must be extremely strange. Your beloved disciple is truly willing to submit to such a situation."

Upon hearing the name "Old Ancestor Hengheng," Ma Wang Xiaoshen already formed a preconceived notion.

Danfan, a master of unorthodox sects, usually obtains his partners through coercion and enticement. Moreover, this master lives in seclusion in the hills, so how could someone like Xiaoqing, who craves worldly pleasures, willingly submit to this person?

The Old Ancestor of Crying Ma didn't offer much explanation, leaving the Little God of Horses to make his own assumptions.

"It's a weakness!"

The old ancestor of crying looked eastward and thought to himself, "My message was a challenge, which is not my usual style. It shows that I was really forced into a corner and lost my composure, which is why I made such an impulsive decision."

If I cannot eliminate Ling Xuzi, then I can only eliminate the two Qing Gu.

A spiritual practitioner cannot have any weaknesses, especially someone like me, for whom countless enemies have schemed and plotted against me.

Furthermore, I need to take in a few more apprentices, shower them with favor, treat them as my own children, and spread them far and wide as bait to lure out those enemies hiding deep in remote, desolate lands overseas.”
