Chapter 115: The Ease of Refining the Heart, Thank You for Your Kindness

Yu Que was thinking about the white bone sword embryo in the sword technique, and his heart was getting more and more excited.

“As for the soldiers and horses that protect the way, I have the Purgatory Law from the King of Hell’s lineage, and I can raise all kinds of soldiers and horses on my own.

But soldiers and horses are just external objects. Even if the soldiers and horses of the King of Hell's lineage can be used until the time of immortality, they are ultimately relying on the power of external objects and do not have the convenience of their own magic power. "

He sorted out the thoughts in his mind, "If I practice this Tai Sui lineage, the sword embryos, although they are not good at helping me practice and are only good at killing, can also allow me to have a way to protect the Tao and live forever in addition to soldiers, which is in line with what I originally thought.

Moreover, although the "First Explanation of the Great Freedom Sword Dao" is not good at improving cultivation, it is paired with my ancestral temple, which is free of both meat and vegetables. With this kind of Dharma lineage, I can use various types of rituals to practice in the future and quickly improve my realm!"

The clearer his thoughts became, Yu Que realized that even though this sword technique did not quite match what he had dreamed of, it was already able to achieve all his previous plans.

By practicing these two branches at the same time, he can still use the King of Hell's soldiers to protect him and practice the Tai Sui rituals. Moreover, if the sword embryo is successfully refined, then in addition to the soldiers, he will also be able to hide his sword skills and use them as a trump card.

Finally, Yu Que made a firm decision in his heart:

"From now on, I will cultivate the Black Prison within and refine the White Bones without!"

After making this decision, he suddenly felt his thoughts flow freely and he felt a great joy from the bottom of his heart.

Now that the ancestral temple has been opened and the Dharma lineage has been inherited, the next step is for him to practice hard and rush straight on the path to immortality.

Good days are yet to come!
After being happy for a while, Yu Que turned his head and looked at the vast distance between the clouds.

He didn't know how long he had stayed in this world, nor how deep he had gone.

But it was obvious that he had been to many places and seen so many ancestral temples that Yu Que felt that his Yin Spirit was rather tired and had heart failure.

So he pondered for a while, although he vaguely felt that in the depths of the clouds, there were many kinds of ancestral temples that he had not seen, and even other more miraculous traditions.

But Yu Que still withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.

"Too much is as bad as too little." He warned himself secretly, then turned around and floated towards the place where the clouds were shallow, intending to leave.

He didn't know about others, but he was able to gain two top-level Dharma lineages through his one act of mind training, which was already a great gain and well worth the trip.

However, during the process of Yin Shen returning, Yu Que suddenly realized:
"Hey, isn't this place a place for refining the mind? How come apart from the ancestral temples of various sects and some disturbing thoughts, there are no other tests..."

In fact, he had misunderstood this point.

The mind-refining of Yunhai Tiantan is to torture and temper the minds of the disciples of the Dao Palace through the thoughts of their predecessors, the evil thoughts of monsters, and ancestral temples.

It was just like the eighteen kinds of torture that Yu Que endured when he inherited the King of Hell's Dharma lineage.

It is a kind of test of tempering the mind in itself. Only after going through eighteen kinds of torture can one be granted the complete inheritance of the King of Hell's Dharma lineage.

And after experiencing the test of the ancestral temple of their predecessors, the Taoist disciples' character and yin spirit will also benefit, which will make it easier for them to practice similar methods in the future.

And because Yu Que had experienced this kind of process before when performing the Seven Killing Lanterns Ceremony, he thought it was normal for a moment and regarded the inheritance of Dharma and the tempering of the mind as two different things.

In addition, the thoughts of his predecessors and the evil thoughts of monsters that once wanted to block his way could not harm him because of the lack of ancestral temple, and were instead restrained.

Even if it was an unrestrained evil thought, they could not restrain Yu Que's Yin Spirit, and he easily slipped away. Therefore, Yu Que thought that he had not undergone much of the test of refining his mind.

This kind of situation is extremely rare among other Dao Palace disciples.

Even those who are inner disciples or true disciples of the Tianmiao Dao seed may not be as relaxed as Yuque.

The reason is nothing else but that the "Temple of No Taboos" opened by Yu Que has the magical effect of warding off all evil and having no taboos.

He is immune to all the magical methods and techniques at the same level that are intended to restrain his Yin spirit and suppress his soul. The effects are so minimal that he seems unaware of them.

Those who are at a higher level than him will have their power greatly reduced, making it difficult for them to stop him.

Moreover, this is when Yu Que's soul has left his body. His body is in the heart of the sea of ​​clouds and sky. It seems that he is in the ancestral temple but not in it, so the effect of the ancestral temple has not been fully exerted.

If the Yin spirit resides in the "Biyi Temple where all actions are unrestricted", the effect of Biyi will be even stronger.

It is very likely that when he receives the Dharma lineage from the King of Hell, he will not have to endure the eighteen kinds of torture. Instead, the ancestral temple will torture all the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil, Black and White Impermanence in the Black Prison Ancestral Temple into his ancestral temple, and in turn interrogate and torture them in order to force out the Dharma lineage.

For all the above, Yu Que was able to benefit from the blessings of his own ancestral temple, which is why everything was so smooth.

And his mind was still focused on the two branches of the Dharma lineage inheritance that he had obtained, so he was not paying attention to so many details for the time being.

Although he was a little confused, Yu Que was too lazy to care about whether someone was cultivating their mind or not.

After all, he is not a masochist. He would be more than happy to suffer less and go through less hardships.

Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Yu Que continued to walk happily away from the deep clouds.

At the same time, on the edge of the cliff of Guangmingding, the clouds rolled like waves, hitting the people on the shore again and again.

In the corner, quite a few people gathered around Yu Que and Xie Qingjie.

Among the few people, Taoist Priest Kuzhu and Taoist Priest Zhongwen, who had brought them up from the mountain, were there. In addition, there were the two Bright Summit's Refining Heart Masters and Xie Qingjie herself.

They all looked in amazement at the flesh body of Yu Que who had been kneeling on the edge of the cliff, and kept whispering:
"It's been a few days now? Finally there's some movement. Are you going to withdraw?"

"Good fellow, he is worthy of being able to consume a sixth-grade spiritual medicine with the body of an immortal child and open up the Dao seeds of the Temple of Heaven. Ordinary inner disciples often cannot stay in the Heavenly Pond for more than three days, but he can do this as soon as he arrives."

By this time, Yu Que had just spent three full days in the place of mind training.

As for Xie Qingjie, who had entered the place of mind refining with him, her Yin spirit had already separated from it and returned to her physical body a day ago.

Therefore, at this moment, this woman was also looking at Yu Que with surprise and admiration on her face.

Of course, apart from these few people, Yu Que's heart training process did not cause much disturbance in the hall.

After all, the rules here are strict, and there is the blessing of mysterious power of formations. If others stand a few steps away, their voices will be difficult to spread to other places. This can avoid interference between the many disciples who are cultivating their minds.

Furthermore, Yu Que only stayed for "three days", which was a surprising amount of time for an ordinary inner sect disciple, especially since he was not an inner sect disciple and was also a first-time heart cultivator. However, compared to the elite inner sect disciples, or even the true disciples, it was not surprising, as they usually spent at least seven days to cultivate their hearts.

There was even a fierce man who sat here for a whole year in one breath. He was almost exhausted and dying. This alarmed the master of the Guangmingding Hall to come out in person to check whether something had gone wrong with this man, causing his soul to be completely lost in the sea of ​​clouds and unable to come back.

On the edge of the sea of ​​clouds, under the gaze of several people.

The Qi and blood in Yu Que's body rose, his complexion gradually became rosy, and his eyelids blinked rapidly.

Whoosh, a ray of light appeared above his head, gray and like a burning candle. Then a shadow appeared in the sea of ​​clouds in front of him. Guided by the candlelight, his sight captured it accurately.

This phantom was none other than Yu Que’s Yin spirit that floated out. He ran out happily, and then jumped back into his own body.

Cackling!

As soon as the Yin Spirit returned to its place, Yu Que suddenly opened his eyelids and made a dry, hoarse sound in his throat, wanting to speak.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "You have been sitting in meditation for several days, and your spirits seem good, but your body has not been blessed many times after all, and it is not much better than an ordinary body. You haven't eaten or drunk anything in three days, so you are bound to be sick.

Moisten your throat, and avoid overeating before midnight tonight, only eat some soup or porridge."

Taoist Master Kuzhu had a smile on his face. He flicked his sleeves and a bowl of honey water flew up from the side and landed in front of Yu Que.

Yu Que looked at the bowl intently. With a hoarse voice, he bowed to the other party and said, "Thank you very much."

Then he covered his hands with his sleeves, and his spiritual awareness spread out, and the ancestral temple shook slightly.

After making sure that there was nothing unusual about it, he drank it in small sips and finished it all.

After drinking a bowl of honey water, he really felt his throat was much better. It seemed that there were a lot of tonics in the honey water. After drinking a bowl of it, his body felt warm and his qi and blood circulated on their own.

Yu Que stood up from the ground, and his whole body suddenly made crackling sounds.

When the other people saw that Yu Que had returned to normal, the two Bright Summit's mind-refining mages, after whispering to each other, bowed to them and left without staying any longer.

Taoist Master Kuzhu and Taoist Master Zhongwen had different expressions on their faces and said quickly:

"It's busy here. Now that you've retired, you should leave here first to avoid delaying others."

The two of them led Yu Que and Xie Qingjie and walked straight out of the hall, arriving at the platform where the others had placed their paper cranes.

With a pop, two more paper cranes were taken out from their sleeves, carrying the few people away from Guangmingding and disappearing into the clouds near the mountains.

By the time Yu Que and the other person came to their senses, they had already landed on the top of a mountain. In front of them appeared the three big words "Examination and Evaluation Institute" and a bunch of palaces and houses.

As soon as he landed, Taoist Master Kuzhu told Yu Que:

"The masters in Guangmingding have recorded your heart-refining activities in Tiantan, and will send them to us within three days. The Examination and Evaluation Institute will determine the quality of your ancestral temple in more detail based on your heart-refining results.

The assessments we have previously decided will be changed or unchanged. Before a more specific assessment is made, you will all have to stay in the assessment hall for the night."

Yu Qun nodded to indicate that he understood.

Taoist Master Kuzhu smiled even more brightly, and said to Yu Que: "In that case, Mr. Yu, why don't I take you around the Examination Hall so that you can get familiar with the environment?"

The man shook his head and muttered, "Guangmingding said it would be within three days, but the records are usually not sent until the third day. It also takes three days and nights for the Examination and Evaluation Institute to discuss it. You have to wait patiently."

What the other party said makes sense and is very normal.

But for some reason, Yu Que vaguely felt that this person's attitude had changed slightly compared to before. He became more enthusiastic and seemed to be offering hospitality.

Just as he was thinking secretly, a clear voice suddenly came from the side.

After Taoist Zhongwen put away the paper crane, he was about to take Xie Qingjie away, but Xie Qingjie did not leave but stood where she was.

In front of Yu Que, the woman bowed to Taoist Master Zhong Wen:

“Master, I came to the mountain only for the assessment and do not want to stay on the mountain.

The Taoist priest only needs to help me arrange a room. After the evaluation is completed, I will go down the mountain to practice."

Taoist Master Zhongwen was slightly surprised when he heard this.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of something, and then said in a teasing tone: "In this case, do you not need me to take you around the mountain to find out the way?"

Xie Qingjie cupped her hands and said, "That's right."

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Taoist Master Kuzhu. Although his expression was normal, his eyes were slightly narrowed.

When Yu Que heard this "hint", he was slightly startled and immediately thought of the reminder Huang Guishan gave him before going up the mountain.

So he also bowed to the withered bamboo leisurely:
"Master Kuzhu, please arrange a room for me so that I can digest what I have gained from this spiritual training."

"This..." Taoist Master Kuzhu paused. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Yu Que's smiling expression, his heart skipped a beat. He suspected that Yu Que also knew the pros and cons of going up the mountain.

Seeing that the man did not say anything, Yu Que emphasized again:
"The younger generation also has to go down the mountain."

At this moment, Taoist Master Kuzhu's expression became silent, and he completely realized that Yu Que obviously also knew the key.

Directly recruited into the palace does not mean one becomes a true disciple; only by entering the palace through the imperial examination can one become a true disciple.

Taoist Master Zhongwen, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two. He did not interrupt them, but a mischievous look appeared on his face. He laughed and said to Xie Qingjie:
"Good kid, you have great ambitions! Go down the mountain if you want. Someone from the Xie family has already come to discuss things with us. You can do whatever you want."

Xie Qingjie's expression remained unchanged, and she immediately bowed: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."

Then, Taoist Master Zhongwen led the girl from the Xie family and walked away leisurely to arrange the guest rooms.

Only Yu Que and Taoist Kuzhu were left standing there, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
