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

Chapter 822 The Supreme Treasure of Faxiang Temple: The Marrow Cleansing Classic!
That's quite a lot. Heaven knows how much time, effort, medicinal materials, and dedication Xue Chonghua spent refining these 120 Nirvana Pills.

Wu Lei Zhenren was speechless, as he also understood the value of these 120 Nirvana Pills.

If given to someone who has just entered the Dao True Realm, these 120 Nirvana Pills would be more than enough to help them quickly refine their Immaculate Bones and achieve a half-immortal body.

However, Chen Yang is different. He is only at the Creation Realm, unlike the Dao True Realm, whose Jade Bones are already transforming into Immaculate Bones. One is like sailing with the current, and the other is like sailing against the current; they are completely different concepts.

The number of Nirvana Pills required is naturally also on the order of two orders of magnitude.

They said they would need at least 300, but that's just a rough estimate; the time required might take longer.

Chen Yang was a little troubled; there were only 120, and the shortfall was quite large.

Moreover, once you start taking this medicine, you can't stop. It's like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. If you stop taking the medicine for a day or two while you're halfway through your cultivation, the flawless bones you've already refined will be contaminated again, losing their flawless state, and all your efforts will be in vain.

This is infuriating, meaning that Chen Yang must be fully prepared before he can achieve the body of a half-immortal.

Even if he prepared 300, he might not dare to start the breakthrough. To be on the safe side, he would have to prepare more.

But right now, he only has 120 pills, and the shortage is too great. Where can he find so many more Nirvana Pills?

"Old Tree, what do we do now?" Chen Yang asked.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree sighed, "I do have the method for refining the Nirvana Pill, but some of the main ingredients are extremely rare. Even if you could find them, it would probably take a lot of time. Add to that the pill refining process, and who knows how long it would take to refine so many pills. By then, you might have already cultivated to the Dao True Realm..."

"See, what did I tell you? There's absolutely no need to cultivate the Immaculate Bone at this time. Once you break through to the Dao True Realm, you'll naturally have what you need. You might as well save these Nirvana Pills for when you break through to the Dao True Realm..." said the Five Thunder True Man.

It would be great if Chen Yang could cultivate a semi-immortal body at his current level, but the cost would be too high. Based on their experience, Chen Yang's investment is not worthwhile.

Chen Yang touched his forehead; he had a bit of a headache.

Reason told him that what the two men said made a lot of sense, but he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

What medicinal materials are needed to refine the Nirvana Pill?

"Putting everything else aside, just take one ingredient: the heart of the phoenix tree. Where can you find a phoenix tree heart at least at the Creation Realm level?"

"The heart of the parasol tree?"

Chen Yang was taken aback.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "The phoenix tree is also called the Phoenix Perching Tree. The heartwood of the phoenix tree is the core of the tree, the essence of life condensed. The corewood of a phoenix tree above the Creation Realm can nurture a kind of Nirvana energy. In ancient times, this energy could attract some phoenix descendants to come and build nests and roost, and to refine Nirvana Pills. This energy is indispensable..."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "In that case, I'll ask Elder Wu. He happens to be at the Creation Realm, so perhaps he can provide me with some tree cores."

"Oh, okay."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree chuckled, "The core of that tree can at most be used to refine twenty or thirty Nirvana Pills at most. Moreover, it only recently broke through to the Creation Realm, and its core may not even contain Nirvana energy yet..."

"Furthermore, the tree core is connected to its life. If you remove its core, you are cutting off its life force and taking its life. Do you think it would be willing to do that?"

……

"This……"

Chen Yang paused upon hearing this.

so serious?

Taking the tree core is tantamount to severing its life force.
Why bother getting the yarn then?

He did have some connection with the sycamore tree, after all.

I treated you as a friend, and you used me to refine elixirs?

Chen Yang would never do something like this.

He rubbed his head. Where could he find more pith from a sycamore tree?
This one herb alone is enough to give Chen Yang a headache; the difficulty is indeed extraordinary.

Master Wu Lei said, "There's another way. You can ask Emei for some Marrow Refining Pills..."

"Ha, I have such a huge shortfall here, even if Emei is rich, can it give me this much?"

Even if Emei had such pills, it would be impossible for them to have such a large quantity, let alone be willing to give them to him.

Master Wu Lei said, "People must learn to be flexible. Today you can ask Emei for a few Marrow Cleansing Pills, tomorrow you can ask Faxiang Temple for a few more, and the day after tomorrow you can ask Zixia Temple for a few more Marrow Refining Pills..."

puff!
Chen Yang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Then am I supposed to be a beggar? Besides, how could I possibly have that much influence?"

This idea is absolutely terrible.

The Five Thunder Immortal was just joking; he clearly knew it wouldn't work.

Chen Yang ignored the Five Thunder Master.

He put the pills back into the bottle, then put the bottle back into the box, and picked up the scripture scroll as he went.

Pull the red string off the scroll and unfold it.

Inside is a scripture written in delicate, small regular script.

There is no title, so we don't know which scripture it is.

"The first chapter, 'General Introduction'!"

"The bone marrow is the foundation of the human body; when the foundation is firm, the branches and leaves will naturally flourish. The method of cleansing the bone marrow begins with focusing on the mind; when the mind is upright, the qi and blood will naturally harmonize. When the qi and blood are harmonized, the bone marrow will naturally be strengthened..."

The second chapter, "The Method of Marrow Cleansing"

The third chapter, "The Essentials of Marrow Cleansing"

The fourth chapter, "The Effects of Marrow Cleansing"

The fifth chapter, "The Jade Bone Chapter".

The sixth chapter, "The Immaculate Chapter"

……

Is this some kind of method to cure erysipelas?
The entire text contains not a single word about erysipelas; it is entirely about bone marrow cultivation methods.

Chen Yang was captivated after just one glance, completely engrossed in the text and unable to tear himself away.

Could it be that Xue Chongli picked up the wrong scriptures?

Chen Yang read the entire scripture from beginning to end, and the expression on his face became quite interesting.

"Elder Ye, you are very knowledgeable, can you help me see what scripture this is?" Chen Yang hurriedly asked the Five Thunder Immortal.

The Five Thunder Immortal released his primordial spirit power and swept it across the scroll.

"This……"

The voice of the Five Thunder Immortal trembled slightly, “This is the scripture that the monk from the Xue family gave you today.”

“Yes, he said it could be used to remove cinnabar poisoning, but I see that this scripture only talks about the method of bone marrow cultivation, but it doesn’t mention cinnabar poisoning at all.”

"This is an eye-opener, a real eye-opener."

Master Wu Lei clicked his tongue in amazement, "This monk is really bold, daring to spread this stuff so easily. Isn't he afraid of being punished by Faxiang Temple?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Yang asked, looking surprised.

It's just a passage of scripture, is it really that serious?

The Five Thunder Immortal said, "This scripture talks about the essence of bone marrow cultivation. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the supreme secret text of Faxiang Temple—the Marrow Cleansing Scripture. Chen Yang, you owe him a huge favor."

"The Marrow Cleansing Classic?"

Chen Yang was taken aback upon hearing this. "You mean this is the Marrow Cleansing Classic?"

The supreme secret manual of Faxiang Temple, a divine skill manual specifically for cultivating bone marrow?

Chen Yang had naturally heard of the reputation of this divine skill. Its status in Faxiang Temple was no less than that of the "Faxiang Golden Body Technique" in Baoguo Temple.

Xue Chongli was willing to give this divine skill to me?

He looked at the scriptures in his hand, still somewhat incredulous.

"That's highly likely."

Master Wu Lei clicked his tongue in amazement, "This technique is extraordinary. It's a closely guarded secret at Faxiang Temple, accessible only to a select few core disciples..."

"With the help of the Marrow Cleansing Classic, Chen Yang, these 120 Nirvana Pills might really help you refine an Immaculate Body. Even if you run out of pills in the end, you can continue to cultivate the Marrow Cleansing Classic to ensure that the Immaculate Bones you have already refined will not be contaminated or degenerate..."

……

Of course, this is on the premise that the scripture is the "Marrow Washing Classic".

Although the text has no name, it talks about bone marrow cultivation throughout, and the later chapters discuss the Jade Bone Chapter, the Immaculate Chapter, and the Immortal Bone Chapter in detail. What else could this be but the "Marrow Cleansing Classic"?
"No wonder he told me not to tell anyone."

Chen Yang was also clicking his tongue in amazement.

Xue Chongli made a huge mistake by giving this martial arts technique to himself; the favor he owed was far too great.

Should we return it?
Even if he returned it now, Xue Chongli probably wouldn't acknowledge it, since he had only said that he would give Chen Yang an ordinary scripture to neutralize the poison.

Moreover, he has already read the contents of the scriptures, so how could he possibly forget them?
Who could resist practicing such a divine skill?
"Try?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

With this divine skill, coupled with the Nirvana Pill, one can hope to attain the body of a half-immortal.

"Of course we have to try!"

At this point, Wu Lei Zhenren's attitude had completely changed.

Previously, he thought Chen Yang was wasting his time and energy cultivating the Immaculate Bone technique at this stage, but now, with the Marrow Cleansing Classic, these problems are no longer problems. The Five Thunder True Man also had some anticipation; he wondered how much potential would be unleashed when the two great classics, the Marrow Cleansing Classic and the Golden Body Technique, were combined.

Since they've already given it to me and I've already seen it, I might as well accept it without feeling guilty.

Chen Yang closed the door.

I first carefully studied the scriptures several times and pondered them repeatedly. The first few chapters introduced the principles of bone marrow cultivation. Starting from the fifth chapter, we entered the actual cultivation process.

The fifth chapter is about cultivating jade bones.

Chen Yang has now fully mastered the Jade Bone technique, so this is no problem for him at all.

A single energy path connects thirty-six acupoints, circulating energy throughout the body, allowing it to seep into the bones and refine the bone marrow.

After roughly simulating the energy flow route in his mind, Chen Yang spent less than half an hour to fully circulate the energy throughout his body.

Strands of energy seeped into his bones, but they were no longer of any use to Chen Yang's jade bones.

Next, we move on to the next chapter, "The Immaculate Bone".

"Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror is not a stand; originally there is nothing, so where can dust alight..."

The Immaculate Chapter also has only one practice route, with a total of seventy-two acupoints.

The text says that when practicing the Marrow Cleansing Classic, it is best to use the power of the Yin and Yang to temper oneself for the best results.

But it's nighttime now, and the sky outside is terribly overcast. There's no sun or moon, so this is the only way to keep going.

He took out a Nirvana Pill and popped it directly into his mouth.

Soon, a surge of scorching energy rose from his abdomen. Without Chen Yang needing to actively guide it, this energy automatically seeped into his bones.

Hot.

Chen Yang felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, with oil sizzling out from his spine.

Is it that strong?

Chen Yang knew the saying that "no pain, no gain," so he gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and immediately mobilized his true energy to begin attacking the seventy-two major acupoints of the "Immaculate Chapter."

Under the influence of the Nirvana Pill, these acupoints also loosened relatively, and Chen Yang's powerful true essence surged down like a long dragon, sweeping away everything in its path.

Each time an acupoint is connected, a surge of energy flows out from that acupoint, permeating the surrounding bones and working together with the energy of the Nirvana Pill to temper Chen Yang's bone marrow.

Chen Yang calls this energy "immaculate energy".

The interaction between the Immaculate Energy and the medicinal power of the Nirvana Pill was like adding fuel to the fire, making the feeling of being roasted by the raging flames even more intense.

The medicinal power of the Nirvana Pill was quickly consumed and soon exhausted. Chen Yang, unhurried, took out another Nirvana Pill and swallowed it.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

The next morning, Chen Yang was woken up by his grandfather calling him to eat breakfast.

He opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up with joy. In one night, he had used 21 Nirvana Pills and completed the "Immaculate Chapter" of the Marrow Cleansing Classic. All 72 acupoints were opened, the circulation of Qi was complete, and the Immaculate Energy was flowing inexhaustibly.

He pulled up the system panel and looked at the values. There hadn't been much change. The improvement brought by the bone marrow was slow and gradual. It would first be reflected in the bones, and then slowly in the physical body.

This is not surprising.

Chen Yang could see through his internal vision that the bone marrow had changed from its original white color to one mixed with some smooth jade-like color.

Changes in the bone marrow are already influencing the transformation of bones towards clean bone.

At this time, Chen Yang's Marrow Cleansing Meridian had completed its cycle. Without taking any pills, the Immaculate Energy prevented the bone marrow from degenerating while continuously tempering it. However, the speed of this tempering was incredibly slow compared to when he took the Nirvana Pill.

After all, it's like rowing against the current; you're lucky if you can even avoid going backwards.

The cultivation of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture is not done one bone at a time, but rather the entire body's bones and marrow advance simultaneously. Chen Yang roughly estimated the progress, and believed that 120 Nirvana Pills would have a high probability of helping him cultivate a half-immortal body.

If you're worried about not having enough, you can try borrowing the power of the Taiyin and Taiyang. Anyway, now that we have the Marrow Cleansing Classic, we're not afraid of our investment and efforts going to waste.

Bone marrow is the source of life; its influence extends to the whole body. Over time, the bones will transform along with the bone marrow, followed by the transformation of the internal organs and the flesh.

"call!"

Exhaling a breath of air and guiding the energy back to its source, Chen Yang got out of bed, only to find that his body was greasy.

I quickly took a shower.

"Xue Chongli owes us a huge favor; we don't know how we'll ever be able to repay it."

After changing into clean clothes, Chen Yang was in a good mood, but he was still feeling uneasy.

He was initially worried that Xue Chongli would prevent him from getting the Nirvana Pill, but he didn't expect that the other party would not only give him the pill, but also give him such a great gift.

Chen Yang knew very well that no one in this world would be kind to someone for no reason, especially a complete stranger.

He could probably understand what Xue Chongli was thinking.

Firstly, he must have genuinely regarded Chen Yang as Xue Chonghua's successor and as one of his own.

Secondly, he genuinely wanted Chen Yang to owe such a debt of karma, or rather, to owe the Xue family a debt of karma.

……

"What's there to worry about? Didn't he ask you to protect the Xue family in the future? It's not a difficult thing for you."

The Five Thunder Immortal said indifferently, "I don't know how many people I owe karma to in this life, and I may not have paid it all off. As the saying goes, many lice don't bite, and many debts don't weigh you down. There's no need to worry about it too much..."

Chen Yang simply smiled upon hearing this.

He wanted to say, "Look at how down and out you are now, how dare you say such a thing?"

……

After breakfast, Chen Yang received a phone call.

This was called by Wang Yuanchao.

Once the call connected, Wang Yuanchao told Chen Yang about the disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect.

The night before last, Chen Yang did not go to Jintang Mountain to keep the appointment.

Wang Yuanchao sent several colleagues from the provincial capital to Jintang Mountain to handle the situation, thinking that with the official intervention, even the most arrogant and extreme disciples of the Northern Emperor Sect should be given some face and given a proper talk and reasoning.

Moreover, my former colleagues were all cultivators at the first or second rank, and there were even two female colleagues.

But the result is.

That young man from the Northern Emperor faction didn't see Chen Yang and the others that night, but instead several people claiming to be officials came to argue with him. He immediately flew into a rage, refused to listen to any explanations, beat up the officials, and stormed off.

"So arrogant? They even attacked government officials?"

Chen Yang was stunned after hearing this.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Yuanchao gave a wry smile, "It's not arrogance, it's domineering. The disciples of the Northern Emperor Sect have always acted domineeringly. In their eyes, what does the government matter? The Northern Emperor Sect represents the heavens..."

"Then what should we do? He assaulted an official, shouldn't that be enough to get him arrested?" Chen Yang asked.

Wang Yuanchao said, "We searched for him all day yesterday but couldn't find him. These are extraordinary times, and the association's main focus is on that matter. So, after some discussion, we've decided to put this matter on hold for now and wait until that matter is resolved before seeking an explanation from this person..."

Upon hearing this, a black line appeared on Chen Yang's forehead.

This hot-tempered old man, who was always so arrogant, was actually cowering this time.

Chen Yang knew exactly what he was talking about; it was nothing more than the Gu God Cult.

It's understandable that the association's energy was tied up.

Chen Yang asked, "What if he comes looking for trouble? Can I kill him?"

"I called you to tell you this."

Wang Yuanchao quickly said, "The Northern Emperor's faction behind him is not to be trifled with. If he comes looking for you, try not to make a move..."

"What if we have to fight? Old Wang, you know me. I never leave myself any hidden dangers. If I can kill, I will never just injure!"

“Look at you, acting impulsively again. If you really could beat him and capture him, just bring him to me. The senior monks in the temple will reason with him then…”

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang shook his head with a wry smile.

What the hell is this?

I didn't provoke anyone, but I ran into a mad dog that bites people indiscriminately.

I've lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've realized I'm a heretical cultivator.

His intuition told him that this disciple of the Northern Emperor Sect would definitely come looking for him again.

This kind of person is completely reckless. Even if Chen Yang captures him and sends him to Wang Yuanchao, it's still a big deal.

What can Wang Yuanchao and his group do to him? They'll just give him a little talking-to and then let him go.
Won't they come looking for trouble then?
Chen Yang himself wasn't worried; he could just beat them up every time they came. However, Huang Ying was also the one he had his eye on at Wenshu Monastery that day.

This was something Chen Yang couldn't tolerate.
