Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

"The level of understanding gained from reading is extremely important to me."

The higher my level of understanding in reading, the deeper my meditative state becomes.

Now that my reading experience has increased, it means that I will inevitably be able to push it to its maximum level.

Naturally, this will lead to an improvement in my meditative state..."

Chen Yushu felt a surge of excitement whenever he thought about this.

It should be noted that his meditative state had reached a constant level.

He has reached the same level as the ancient sages and the top figures of our time, such as the legendary cultivators like the Huangshan Ancestor.

I originally thought that this was the ultimate, constant and eternal meditation... Judging from the description, it does seem to have reached the ultimate endpoint.

However, it seems that this is not the case now.

Beyond constancy, there is still a realm to be reached.

Although Chen Yushu was also unclear about what the realm after the stabilization was.

But there is no doubt that once you truly reach that level, your cultivation speed will increase significantly compared to its current constant state.

"certainly.

For me, the most urgent task is to continue practicing magic.

Because of this, one also increases the speed at which one comprehends the mysteries of the laws and elevates one's level of understanding through reading.

It will also greatly increase the speed at which I cultivate the Blood Escape Technique!

Chen Yushu quickly calmed down and continued practicing his magic.

Gale-force blades, Geng metal swordsmanship, withered tree regeneration technique...

He mastered each spell to a minor degree in a short time, sometimes as short as half an hour and sometimes as long as an hour.

Conversely, through these spells, he mastered seven more profound rules, and his reading experience increased by seven points.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the rune structure of every spell, after being extremely simplified, can perfectly match the mysterious rules it contains.

For example, the Earth Collapse Technique, although it has more than twenty spell rune structures, when he mastered it to a minor level, none of them matched the profound rules of the Blood Escape Technique.

This is actually the normal thing.

There are countless rules in the universe, and it's impossible for him to find a corresponding spell for every one he learns. It's normal that spells like Earth Collapse don't match at all.

Fortunately, during this spellcasting session, he also discovered several other shield-type spells, such as Shadow Escape and Earth Escape...

Although they are not as quick as the Blood Escape Technique, which can make someone disappear in an instant and appear several or even tens of feet away, they are definitely all types of escape techniques.

Once the Shadow Escape Technique is used, it creates a shadow, allowing the cultivator to hide within it and conceal their form.

It's not particularly sophisticated, but it's very useful in battle.

As for the Earth Escape Technique, as the name suggests, it involves directly escaping underground. The spell is more difficult to cast and learn, making it one of the most difficult spells to master among the batch of spells he selected.

The spell rune structure alone has as many as forty-nine elements, far exceeding that of other spells.

But precisely because they both belong to the category of escape techniques, he had the highest expectations for these two spells.

He quickly spent another two hours learning the two escape techniques and cultivating them to a minor level.

"really.

Both being escape techniques, these two spells have the highest degree of compatibility between their rune structures and the rules of the Blood Escape Technique.

Within the Shadow Escape Technique, I discovered nine more profound rules. If we include the previously overlapped rules, the total number of profound rules I have mastered reaches thirteen.

There are seven Earth Escape Techniques, but if we include the previously overlapped and mastered rules and mysteries, the number reaches as many as seventeen.

The gains have been enormous.

After silently comparing the two, Chen Yushu also felt delighted.

A little adds up to a lot.

Although the increase from a single spell is not much, they accumulate and will eventually fill the mysteries of the rules involved in the Blood Escape Technique.

"It's just a pity."

After practicing these twenty spells, they only provided me with forty-three profound rules that were compatible with the Blood Escape Technique.

Including the ninety-three I had already mastered, that means I have mastered a total of one hundred and thirty-six rules and mysteries of the Blood Escape Technique.

"Compared to the Blood Escape Technique, which has a total of 172 rules and mysteries, there are still 36 rules and mysteries missing..."

After Chen Yushu had fully comprehended all the spells, he compared them and quickly frowned.

Although this pace is already quite rapid.

Compared to before, this has saved a lot of time.

But not enough.

The thirty-six rules are profound; if one were to comprehend them on one's own, it would take at least three to five months.

That's taking too long.

"However, to exchange for spells from the Zhenyin Division, one needs to make small or large contributions."

But for me, ordinary tasks are too much of a waste of time.

Perhaps there's another way?

Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and quickly remembered the small cultivator exchange meeting that the divinely favored Daoist had mentioned to him before.

If I could collect some spells at that exchange meeting, it would be just right to make up for what I lack.

The key point is that the spells exchanged there may be more expensive, but they don't require the same level of merit as those exchanged from the Zhenyin Division.

You can simply spend money or trade spirit stones.

"Now that I think about it, there are only a few days left until the small exchange meeting that Fellow Daoist Favored by God mentioned back then."

After thinking it over, Chen Yushu soon had the idea of ​​setting off.

After all, when the last fellow Daoist favored by the gods came, he said that he would set off for that so-called ancient cultivation cave in half a month.

Before that, small-scale exchange meetings among cultivators will also be held.

All things considered, there are only two or three days left.

"Then, I will put aside my magical practice for the next few days."

"Spend more time on alchemy..."

At cultivator exchange meetings, with a large number of cultivators, the demand for various elixirs will be even greater.

He took the opportunity to refine all the materials that the Liu family's pharmacy had collected for him into elixirs and sell them. This would not only allow him to make a fortune, but also enable him to exchange them for more spells.

……

“Master, it’s Master Yan from the Yan family and Master Mo from the Mo family outside the door, requesting an audience.”

The next morning, Chen Yushu heard Xiaoyun's report.

At this moment, Xiaoyun felt even more respect and awe towards her master.

Previously, she was just an ordinary person in Qinghe Town and didn't know much about the important figures in the city.

But now, as she has come into contact with them more, she has also learned that Master Yan of the Yan family and Master Mo of the Mo family are both big figures in Qinghe County, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to even meet them.

However, the other party visited Master Chen's residence several times.

There was also Lord Chen of the Zhenyin Division, who was definitely one of the most important figures in Qinghe County. Even the county magistrate had to show him respect. As a result, she had met him twice in a short period of time.

One can imagine the master's status and position.

This naturally made her even more respectful and awe-inspiring.

"Hmm? Please invite them in."

Chen Yushu, of course, had no idea what Xiaoyun was thinking, and just said it casually.

"Yan Xu greets Senior Chen."

"Mo Xuan greets Senior Chen!"

The two men bowed as soon as they entered.

Previously, they had always held Chen Yushu in high esteem, after all, Chen Yushu was a genuine Taoist master who had traveled to the underworld.

They naturally held it in high esteem.

Unexpectedly, not long afterward, it was rumored that Chen Yushu had apparently broken through to the Daoist Night Wanderer realm, making him the undisputed number one in Qinghe County.

Immediately, the two men held Chen Yushu in even greater respect, and repeatedly instructed their families to treat Chen Yushu with the utmost respect, even regarding the affairs of the servants in the Chen household.

At this time, he personally came to visit again.

"No need to be polite."

Chen Yushu waved his hand, then looked at the two and asked, "May I ask what brings you here this time?"

"We came here because we heard that you have been collecting magical spells recently."

"Our Yan family, though not a large clan, has collected over a dozen magical techniques, which we've come to present to you, senior."

Soon, Yan Xu stepped forward and spoke.

"Our Mo family is one of them."

I also possess some spells, about twenty in total, which I wish to give to you, senior!

Mo Xuan, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up and then respectfully handed over a storage bag.

Clearly, the storage bag contained the magical artifacts collected by their family.

"This……"

Chen Yushu was taken aback upon seeing this.

Although magic is not the most important thing in the lineage of a Yin-walking family, it is absolutely invaluable.

In particular, certain powerful spells are the means by which some underworld families make their name and survive, and they would never be passed on to outsiders.

The two of them actually chose to bring out the magic spells that their families had stored up for many years, which shows how determined they were this time.

"One should not accept rewards without merit."

I am indeed collecting some spells to practice.

But I cannot accept these magical inheritances unique to your family.

Chen Yushu thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

Although he wanted the magic, he also knew that the two great Yin-Yang families would not easily give away their inheritances without a reason.

Even if his strength had reached the Dao Entry Night Wandering Realm, it would still be the same.

"I know this spell isn't anything particularly precious."

But it's also a token of our goodwill.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xu immediately spoke up.

"yes.

It's just a token of my appreciation.

Mo Xuan said repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll buy from you."

Alternatively, you can exchange it.

Here I have three kinds of elixirs used by cultivators: Qi-building pills, bone-strengthening pills, and spirit-gathering pills.

It is effective for cultivators whose cultivation level is within three incense sticks' worth.

In addition, there are some magical artifacts, talismans, and methods that can be exchanged and traded. You can choose them yourself and agree on a reasonable price to exchange them.

how is it? "

Chen Yushu pondered for a moment, and indeed he was somewhat tempted by their magic.

After all, what he lacks now is magic.

The thirty-six rules are mysterious and not so easy to come up with.

Even in that cultivation market, one might not be able to exchange for many spells, and even if one did exchange for enough spells, one might not be able to gather all the necessary rules and mysteries.

After all, the further you go, the fewer you'll be missing, and the harder it will be to gather them all together.

If there were thirty spells to fill the gap, it would naturally increase his chances of completing the mysterious rules.

"Of course."

Yan Xu and Mo Xuan hesitated slightly, realizing that Chen Yushu really didn't want to accept their gifts for nothing, so they had no choice but to agree.

However, they were also encouraged by this. At least based on their performance, if the other party really wanted to establish a family and expand their power, they should take this into consideration and not put too much pressure on their family.

In any case, the two had already discussed it before they came. If Chen Yushu really wanted to establish a powerful clan, they would definitely gravitate towards him as soon as possible and become his dependent forces.

If you can't beat them, join them. Not to mention, if a master of the Night Wandering Realm really wants to develop, he will definitely need them, and the benefits that come with it will be enormous.

Although the goal has not been achieved, it is still very good to be able to exchange some cultivation resources from the other party.

Not to mention the Vitality Pill, Bone Strengthening Pill, and Spirit Gathering Pill, which are essential items for Yin cultivators.

It can be said that with these elixirs in hand, their disciples' growth rate will increase significantly.

It used to take seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, to cultivate from the level of one incense stick to the level of three incense sticks. Now, with the help of spiritual pills, it might only take three to five years, or even six or seven years.

Being able to significantly enhance one's family's strength in a short period of time makes the trip worthwhile.

Soon enough, they negotiated with Chen Yushu on the exchange prices and requirements for the corresponding spells and elixirs, and divided up all the elixirs that Chen Yushu had previously refined.

Mo Xuan, whose family was more powerful and who provided more spells, accounted for the majority.

Although Yan Xu had fewer magical abilities, he did not want to be outdone in this area, so he even took out 10,000 taels of silver to reserve Chen Yushu.

In other words, if Chen Yushu continues to refine elixirs in the future, he will still be willing to buy them.

Chen Yushu readily agreed.

It should be noted that the Yan and Mo families are the two luckiest families in Qinghe County. Since they are willing to buy spirit pills, it means that he has essentially seized control of most of the spirit pill market in Qinghe County.

By focusing on key areas, sales will naturally become less of a concern in the future.

"correct.

"Senior Chen, there will be a small cultivator exchange meeting in Tianling County in a couple of days. I wonder if you would be interested in attending?"

After this matter was settled, Mo Xuan seemed to remember something and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan quickly added, "That's right, senior. This cultivator exchange meeting is held once a year, although most of the participants are three-incense stick cultivators like us."

However, because the organizer is the highly respected Senior Huang, many advanced cultivators at the Dao Realm will also participate.

Occasionally, some good items will appear and be auctioned off.

For example, last time, there was enough Vitality Elixir to help one person break through to the next level. It seems that it was eventually bought by the Li family of Tianling County. Then, less than a month later, we received news that Li Qianyuan of the Li family had broken through to the Dao Entry Realm.

"Of course, I know that you don't care about the Vitality Elixir, but if you're lucky, you can still get some good stuff from it."

Mo Xuan also spoke up. (End of Chapter)
