After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 810 The Jade Remnant in the Belly of the Fish, the Pill Left Behind by Xue Chonghua!
Improving the Jade Bone is simply increasing the physical body's maximum endurance.

However, given Chen Yang's cultivation speed, he might enter the Dao True Realm at any time, and the Half-Immortal Bone will naturally come then. Why waste so many resources in advance?

"That's it? Elder Ye, tell me the method!" Chen Yang asked quickly after seeing that he only said "oh" and then stopped talking.

The Five Thunder Immortal smiled bitterly, “The transformation of the physical body, in essence, comes from the bone marrow. Therefore, to forge a half-immortal body, one must start with the bone marrow. I know that Buddhism has a kind of spiritual medicine called the ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill.’ Faxiang Temple and Baoguo Temple should both have this pill. Taoism also has corresponding ‘Marrow Refining Pill’ and ‘Marrow Changing Pill.’ Although these pills have different names, they all have one effect: they can all temper the bone marrow…”

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, his eyes brightening slightly.

Does Baoguo Temple have Marrow Cleansing Pills? Given his relationship with Xuanjing, asking for one or two shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Don't be too happy yet."

Master Wu Lei began to pour cold water on him, "Although these pills exist, without exception they are all top-level secret medicines of major sects and forces. Their value cannot be measured in money. They probably don't even have enough for themselves, so how could they possibly spare some for you? Even if they could give you some, one or two pills wouldn't solve the problem."

"Do you need a lot of pills?"

"Of course, otherwise do you think a single pill can make someone a demigod? Wouldn't the world be full of demigods then?"

The Five Thunder Immortal said helplessly, "These pills are very potent. They are meant to accelerate the transformation of the Immaculate Bone for early-stage Dao True Realm cultivators. Ordinary Creation Realm cultivators would probably find it difficult to withstand the medicinal power. Moreover, if the Jade Bone is not yet fully developed, forcibly refining the Immaculate Bone would backfire, potentially shattering the bone and causing crippling..."

"Now that my Jade Bone technique is fully developed, I don't need to worry about that."

"Then I have nothing to say. I'm not good at alchemy. Ask Elder Shu if he has any similar prescriptions. If not, go to Emei and ask Xuanjing for alms. See if he can get you a few hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills."

"Several hundred?"

Chen Yang almost burst into tears, "So much?"

Xuan Jing probably would rather just kill it.

"You think the body of a half-immortal is so simple?"

Five Thunder Immortal smiled bitterly, "When I broke through to the Dao True Realm, my master gave me twelve [Marrow Refining Pills] to help me complete my physical transformation within two years. That was because I was already in the Dao True Realm and in a period of rapid transformation. As for you, you are only in the Creation Realm, so of course you will consume more. I have never seen someone in the Creation Realm cultivate a half-immortal body. I can only give you a rough estimate. At least three hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills, no less."

Chen Yang's face twitched.

If that's the case, he might as well wait to break through to the Dao True Realm.

"The tree is old."

Chen Yang was a little unwilling, "What do you say?"

After all, he had experienced the benefits of refining the Jade Bone ahead of time. Putting aside everything else, he received more feedback after the Heavenly Tribulation and could also avoid the weakness period after the breakthrough.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "In Xue Chonghua's memory, there is a kind of pill called the Nirvana Pill, which has a similar effect to the Marrow Cleansing Pill that Brother Ye mentioned."

"Do you have a prescription?" Chen Yang asked quickly.

"Have."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "However, the medicinal herbs are hard to find, and the difficulty of refining them is no less than that of the Five Dragon Pill..."

"It's alright, just give me the prescription, and I'll find someone to find it for me. As for refining it, we have to try it out first..."

"No, no, no, don't rush, listen to me first."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree interrupted Chen Yang and continued, "The Xue family has a Pill Pavilion. Before Xue Chonghua died, he refined a batch of Nirvana Pills, which were sealed in the Pill Pavilion. There are probably one or two hundred of them. If possible, why don't you try to get these pills to taste them? If it's not enough, we can discuss the pill refining issue later if you feel it's necessary?"

"Oh?"

Chen Yang was taken aback upon hearing this. Did Xue Chonghua leave behind the "Nirvana Elixir"?
What a coincidence! Why would he keep the Nirvana Pill?
It wasn't saved for me, was it?

Chen Yang was momentarily dazed, realizing he had been presumptuous.

Putting aside those unrealistic ideas, "Is it reliable?"

"Reliable."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree gave him a positive answer.

Having acquired Xue Chonghua's memories, he naturally knew best how much of the medicine there was and whether there were any problems with it.

Chen Yang pondered for a moment. If Xue Chonghua really left behind so many Nirvana Pills, then he really had to try to get his hands on these pills.

Xue Kaiqi is now in charge of the Xue family. Chen Yang has a good relationship with her, so if he asks her for the money, she shouldn't refuse. At worst, he'll have to spend some money or incur a favor.

However, it is said that Xue Chonghua's younger brother, Xue Chongli, has returned and is now living in the Xue family. Would it be taboo for him to go and ask for Xue Chonghua's belongings?
This Xue Chongli is a high-ranking monk at Faxiang Temple, and it is said that he has a very high status there. Chen Yang doesn't want to have any conflict with such a person.

Never mind, let's ask Fiona Sit first.

After Chen Yang finished cleaning the medicine furnace, he took out his phone, intending to call Xue Kaiqi to ask her something.

"Chen Yang!"

Just then, Huang Can's shouts came from the front yard again.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered what this guy had up his sleeve this time.

Come to the front yard.

The rain has stopped, but it's still dark, and thunder rumbles intermittently; there's bound to be another heavy rain tonight.

Huang Can, carrying a large porcelain bowl, carefully entered the courtyard, his steps uneven.

"I made a sauerkraut fish dish, and it tasted pretty good. I brought some over for you to try."

Upon entering the main room, he placed the bowl on the coffee table, rubbed his hands together (it was so hot), pinched his earlobe, and gave Chen Yang a simple, honest smile.

Chen Yang's expression turned somewhat grim. "You mean... that fish from this morning?"

Huang Can nodded, noticing Chen Yang's embarrassment, and quickly said, "Don't be so pretentious. These days, plenty of people use sewage to raise fish. And what vegetables do you eat every day? Aren't they all grown with manure? This is called organic and pollution-free. Try it, it's really fresh. Even my brother-in-law said it was delicious..."

"This is like eating snail rice noodles or stinky tofu. Once you get over that psychological hurdle, you'll discover a whole new world."

……

Chen Yang's face twitched slightly; this guy had a whole repertoire of clever phrases.

It was hard to refuse such hospitality; it felt like Chen Yang would be committing a sin if he didn't eat.

"Just leave it here for now, I'll eat it later."

Chen Yang quickly shook his head, still too embarrassed to touch his chopsticks.

Looking at the fish floating in the bowl and the bright green sauerkraut chunks, the scene in Song Kaiming's yard that morning is still vivid in my mind.

I wonder what kind of environment this kid used to cook this fish, and whether he accidentally spilled any seasoning in it.

Huang Can shook his head, "Just as pretentious as my brother-in-law. I don't understand you guys. What a waste of such a good thing..."

you?

Chen Yang was slightly taken aback. "Didn't you say your brother-in-law had already eaten?"

"This one……"

Huang Can chuckled dryly, "I ate it, I forced my head to eat it, but that's not the point..."

Chen Yang was speechless; he had almost been led astray by this guy.

"The important thing is, when I was gutting the fish, I found something inside its belly. Look at this, what the hell is it?"

Huang Can sat down on the sofa. He came over late at night not just to bring Chen Yang boiled fish.

What's inside the fish's belly?
Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he saw Huang Can take something out of his pocket.

The item was wrapped in a gray cloth. I placed it on the coffee table and unwrapped the cloth.

Inside was a small, palm-sized piece of broken jade.

The jade is completely black, with a glossy sheen, but it is clearly damaged, with a distinct break at the edge, indicating it is a broken piece of black jade.

The surface of the jade fragment is smooth and rounded, and several characters about the size of a thumbtip can be seen engraved on it.

At first, Chen Yang didn't pay much attention, but when he saw the handwriting on it, he was stunned.

The strokes of these characters are crooked and twisted, like tadpole script, and they are the same kind of script as the 315 Tooth Sutra.

Dao patterns!

Dao patterns are unique to a powerful being. When a cultivator reaches an extremely high level, they comprehend their own unique script, which is in harmony with their own Dao. It can be used to encrypt and transmit information. Only under certain conditions can the meaning of the script be understood.

Is this the work of that being again?
How did it end up inside a fish's belly?

Seeing Chen Yang's stunned expression, Huang Can quickly asked, "Do you recognize the characters on it? My brother-in-law said it says something like '[Great Chu rises, Chen Sheng is king]', but I think that old man lied to me. It's clearly eight characters..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's face darkened; he hadn't expected Song Kaiming to make a joke.

"I don't know it, but I can look into it."

Chen Yang picked up the black jade and examined it closely. He then used his primordial spirit power to probe into it. He could vaguely feel a residual force repelling him, but this force was extremely weak and could be easily defeated.

Chen Yang's intuition told him that this jade was extraordinary, but because it was damaged, its energy had been lost.

He guessed that perhaps the big fish had obtained a protective treasure from somewhere, but it was destroyed under the heavenly tribulation.

Chen Yang's primordial spirit did not find anything unusual inside the black jade.

This black jade is not a jade slip. If it were a jade slip, it would contain engraved information, and even if it is damaged, some information would still be preserved.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. The key was the inscription on the jade, which piqued his curiosity about its origin.

"Is this all you found? Are there any other things?" Chen Yang asked Huang Can.

Huang Can shook his head. "I cleaned the fish's belly thoroughly, and apart from this, the rest was all feces. You know, this fish is strange. Such a big piece of jade, with such sharp edges. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to swallow it?"

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then asked, "Could it be that it was originally something from your family's latrine, and this fish swallowed it?"

"how is this possible?"

Huang Can immediately denied it, "My brother-in-law's family is so poor. If they had this, how could they throw it in the latrine? Although I don't know much about jade, judging from the quality of this jade, it must be worth a lot of money. Besides, if it belonged to their family, they would have already snatched it from me."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "You said earlier, where did this fish come from? Jinjia Mountain?"

"Ah."

Huang Can nodded. "That's what it told me: Jinjia Mountain is quite a distance from here. This guy traveled all that way, only to die in our latrine. That's really..."

Chen Yang looked at Huang Can. Putting everything else aside, this guy was indeed similar to himself, with a somewhat mystical physique.

He never encounters things that others never experience in their entire lives, yet he sits at home doing nothing and still gets these kinds of things happen to him.

"I'll keep this jade here for now and study it," Chen Yang said.

Huang Can nodded slightly. "Don't forget to eat this fish."

Chen Yang's face darkened. "Alright, I got it."

"It's really fresh."

With Chen Yang looking both amused and exasperated, Huang Can got up, left the house, and walked into the night.

……

After Huang Can left, Chen Yang looked at the boiled fish on the table.

It was, after all, someone's good intention.

But it's really hard to put your mouth on it.

"Wang!"

Just then, Black Tiger ran in and bravely intervened.

The fish meat from the Creation Realm was very attractive to it.

Chen Yang put away the fragment of black jade, intending to have it appraised after Shi Ling woke up.

The boiled fish was a bargain for Black Tiger, and Chen Yang only had two packets of instant noodles for dinner.

While eating his noodles, Chen Yang took out his phone and dialed Xue Kaiqi's number.

After a brief greeting, Chen Yang brought up the matter of "Nirvana Pill".

Xue Kaiqi was a little confused after hearing this.

Does the Xue family have this medicine in their alchemy pavilion?

The Xue family's Dan Pavilion had always been Xue Chonghua's private territory. After Xue Chonghua's death, the Xue family rarely went in, partly because they were afraid of being reminded of him by the sight of the objects inside, and partly because no one was interested in the things inside.

Inside were all sorts of alchemy and pill-refining tools, as well as some alchemy books. No one in the Xue family could truly inherit Xue Chonghua's mantle, and in terms of alchemy, there was no one to carry on the tradition. Who would bother going to the Pill Pavilion for no reason?

After Xue Chonghua's death, everything in the Dan Pavilion was sealed away. If Chen Yang hadn't asked, Xue Kaiqi really wouldn't have known that her grandfather had left behind Nirvana Pills.

"Xiaoyang, what's the Nirvana Pill for?" Xue Kaiqi asked with some confusion over the phone.

Chen Yang said, "There's a bone-refining pill that I happen to need right now, but refining it myself would be time-consuming and laborious. Luckily, your pill pavilion has this kind of pill, so I thought..."

"Did my grandfather tell you that?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Kaiqi was slightly agitated. How could Chen Yang know about the things in her family's Dan Pavilion?
“This…” Chen Yang hesitated.

Xue Kaiqi said, "I've heard some people say that my grandfather passed on his mantle to you before he passed away, Xiao Yang, is that true?"

"This……"

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer, before saying, "Sister Qi, to be honest, I received some of Elder Xue's teachings, but so far I've only learned a little..."

What he said wasn't entirely false; he did receive Xue Chonghua's inheritance, but it wasn't Xue Chonghua who actively passed it on.

"Okay, you don't need to say anything."

Xue Kaiqi interrupted Chen Yang, "Since Grandpa did this, he must have his reasons. You don't need to tell me what Grandpa passed on to you. I will find the pills you want and send them to you as soon as possible."

In fact, after Xue Chonghua made a special trip to Emei and specifically met with Chen Yang, rumors circulated in Panshan that Xue Chonghua had found Chen Yang to be his successor.

Some people believed it, some didn't, and Xue Kaiqi didn't pay much attention to these rumors. Now, having received the answer from Chen Yang, she felt both self-reproach and relief.

She blamed herself because she felt she was useless. Her grandfather had to break down the entire Yin-Yang acupuncture technique into two parts, one for her and the other for her second uncle, because she was not qualified enough.

Even so, after her grandfather's death so long ago, she has only just begun to grasp half of the acupuncture technique. Moreover, as far as she knows, her second uncle's situation is even worse; he hasn't even begun to learn it yet.

In this way, even if she mastered this half of the acupuncture technique, it would be of little use. Without the assistance of the other half of the acupuncture technique, the Yin-Yang Acupuncture Technique would be a misnomer.

Moreover, the acupuncture technique performed by the two of them together is absolutely not as powerful as the true Yin-Yang acupuncture technique.

This incident left her feeling guilty and unable to let go of the guilt.

Now that Xue Kaiqi knows that Chen Yang has indeed inherited his grandfather's skills, she is gratified.

Although Chen Yang is not a member of the Xue family, at least he has ensured that his grandfather's legacy continues and that the family tradition is not broken.

Looking back now, how could Grandpa have made a special trip to Emei Mountain before his death to see Chen Yang without any reason?

The person Grandpa chooses must be good.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yang had no idea what Xue Kaiqi was thinking. Since Xue Kaiqi had already given him a guarantee, he just needed to wait.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang didn't think much of it. Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and rain poured down again.

The power hasn't been restored yet, and it's pitch black everywhere. On days like this, the only thing to do besides cultivate is to sleep.

……

-

The next day.

Finally, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. The sky was like a clean mirror, without a single stray cloud, and the sun came out.

While the electrician was inspecting the circuit, Chen Guoqiang and some cadres were going door-to-door to check the situation and record the damage.

Chen Yang's house was fine; the newly built retaining wall in the backyard also withstood the test.

After Chen Guoqiang and the others left, Chen Yang went out and took a walk on the village road.

The rain flooded many places, and the water in the distant Jiapigou ditch was still rushing with a loud rumbling sound.

A number of villagers gathered in the small square in Yangliuwan.

After the heavy rain, the mountain was unsafe and there was a lot of dew, so even though the weather had cleared up, few people went out to work.

Everyone was talking about the heavy rains of the past two days, where mountains had collapsed, where floods had occurred, and so on—the topics were endless…

Chen Yang listened in for a while, then his phone rang.

When I took it out, I saw that it was a call from Fiona Sit.

He quickly stepped aside and answered the phone, "Sister Qi, have you found the things?"

"We found it."

Xue Kaiqi's voice came from the other end, sounding somewhat embarrassed.

Chen Yang said, "It's good that we found it. Is there any other problem? Just let us know if you want more money."

Money is no longer that important to Chen Yang; it's just a string of numbers.

"Xiaoyang, it's not about the money."

Xue Kaiqi quickly said, "It's our second grandfather..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, the thing I was worried about still happened.

Xue Chongli, Xue Kaiqi's second grandfather, Xue Chonghua's younger brother, and a high-ranking monk at Faxiang Temple.
Xue Kaiqi said, "Second Grandfather said that we are not allowed to touch the things that Grandfather left behind. If you want them, you can come to the provincial capital. Second Grandfather also wants to see you."

"This……"

Chen Yang paused slightly. Xue Chongli also wants to see me?
"Xiaoyang, if it's inconvenient, I'll try to talk to your second grandfather again?" Xue Kaiqi said when she saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

She could try, but she knew the chances were slim.
