From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 213: Xuanyin Five Waters and Winter Sword Intent

There was a torrential rain on Hushan Island, which lasted all day and all night, and the island looked like it was soaked in water.

The 50,000 mu of spiritual fields that had just been reclaimed had all become ponds, and the sand pigs had become like beavers, floating to the surface from time to time to catch their breath.

The blue sheep on the dam were soaked in water, and they piled up bluestones in a panic, increasing the height of the dam by more than three times.

The waterways and reservoirs dug by the Golden Bees at night were all useless, and the water on the island had already reached Golden Tiger's feet.

In the past, there was water on the island, which flowed downstream into the sea along the southeast depression. Now the depression has been filled up, and a dam has been built on the edge of the island to block the water, turning the island into a swamp.

The only good thing is that the spiritual plants on the island began to grow wildly. The red willow trees on the dam looked like ordinary weeping willows. The red willows could not grow like this without being a hundred years old.

The most outrageous thing is the water-light grape vine. The red vine, which was once a hundred feet long, directly broke through the limit and grew to five hundred feet. It was so dense that it looked like a coiled dragon.

Grape vines are the best at drinking water. The vines, big and small, drink up all the spiritual water around them. What was previously a fifth-grade special precious medicine has broken through one level and become a fourth-grade extraordinary medicine.

The cultivation methods are divided into nine grades, spiritual plants and roots are divided into six grades, there are three grades missing between the two, and the fourth grade of spiritual medicine is only equivalent to the seventh grade of immortal cultivators.

Of course, spiritual roots and precious medicines are almost incapable of awakening the mind and giving rise to wisdom, let alone becoming refined medicines.

Fortunately, the water grape vines raised him to a higher level, providing Yu Shuyang with an excuse so that his face would not fall to the ground.

The golden bee demon Jin Hu went to the Tiger's Mouth Cave to ask for instructions. Yu Shuyang simply responded with a few words and told her to go back and wait for the spiritual water to slowly dissipate.

Yu Shuyang stayed in the Tiger's Mouth Cave to make elixirs. Since he discovered the water method to make elixirs, just like he practiced the Xuanwu water method, the moon snake's elixir making was exactly the same as the snake coiling and turtle breathing method.

Of course, he secretly used the Nine Yang Mysterious Water Turtle and threw it into the spiritual water on the island to help refine the nectar spiritual water.

This Dharma image automatically returned to his mysterious acupoint after he left Chaoju Island. He had bought Hushan Island in Chaoju City.

He came here on the turtle ship the next day, completely forgetting the distance limit of the Dharma image. Fortunately, the black turtle continued to absorb the fire energy of the sun and also refined the scorching sun.

Now the Nine Yangs have been refined into three Yangs - Gao Yang, Chi Yang and Lie Yang. Among them, Gao Yang and Lie Yang can be combined to form the two Yangs of heaven and earth.

At present, the Nine Yang Mysterious Water Turtle is no longer limited to gathering Qi and evil, but can also cleanse the clear and turbid, draw the scorching sun to evaporate, and make the mountain peaks exhale the sun.

In an instant, the sweet dew and spiritual water on Hushan Island began to evaporate, and the Golden Tiger Mountain was surrounded by tiger tail clouds. Gao Yang and Lie Yang worked together, and in half a day, all the water on the island disappeared.

He did not put the water turtle away, but stood on the tiger's tail, searching for a little bit of cold water vapor in the dark and dead air of the desolate sea.

The so-called cold yang is the yang born from yin. Most of them are places of extreme yin, where yin is strong and yang is weak, and there will be a little bit of residual yang.

Yu Shuyang took out the five mysterious energies from the black turtle, and once again used the Moon Snake Water Refining method to intercept half of the Netherworld Death Qi in the Tiger's Mouth Cave.

The snake coiled and the turtle breathed, moving yin and yang. The five energies of Xuanming grew stronger little by little, and slowly gathered into a little bit of water. Although this water didn't seem like much, it was enough to make the elixir.

While washing and refining, Yu Shuyang continued to nourish it with the Netherworld Death Qi and was not in a hurry to refine the Xuanming Five Qi Pill.

There are about twenty drops in one milliliter of water. He took half of each of the red, green and white qi and prepared to refine them into the Xuanming underworld.

The Xuanming Red Qi is the Xuanyin Naihe Water, which can cleanse the minds of ghosts and monsters, dissolve all regrets and resentments, and finally leave only a sigh of helplessness.

Naihe Water, Huangquan Water and Xuanming Water are the three rivers of the underworld. These three waters can not only guide the dead to the underworld, but also refine ghosts and monsters to cleanse and purify them.

The Xuanming green energy is the Xuanyin Biluo, which is the cloudy sky formed by the green energy from the sky descending into the underworld. As the saying goes: The sky is high and the underworld is low.

The Xuanming white gas is the Xuanyin moonlight, which is the dark moon cast into the underworld by the moon's yin on the back of the moon star. It can nurture residual souls and injured ghosts.

Yu Shuyang took out the soul-guiding banner, activated the Xuan and Huang Qi, and brought Sanshui into the underworld, and his mind followed closely behind.

As soon as the Xuanyin Naihe Water enters the underworld, it goes straight to the intersection of Xuanshui and Huangquan, and uses this as the source to give rise to the Naihe Channel.

If the Xuanshui River is shaped like a turtle, then Naihe is the lines on the turtle shell. In an instant, the underworld was divided into smaller pieces.

As Xuanyin Biluo and Xuanyin Yuehua entered the underworld, they flew straight into the sky, and one turned into a green cloud, like the clouds in the sky of the living world.

The other one hangs above the cloudy sky, like a shallow water shadow, its color as blue as water and white as the moon, with a layer of goose yellow light floating on the outside. This is the water-shaped dark moon.

There are also sun and moon in the underworld, but the fire in the underworld sunlight is too intense, so the true form of the sun is not visible, and it only exists as sky light.

In comparison, the light of the Dark Moon contains water, which is the most gentle. Therefore, the true form of the Dark Moon is often revealed by the Water Moon, and the dark moonlight is spread from time to time.

Seeing the five waters of Xuanyin being created one by one, Yu Shuyang gained a lot of insights into the Xuanyin method, and then thought of the Winter Sword among the Four Seasons Gentleman Swords.

Xuanyin is one of the three yins. In the movement of heaven and earth, it is symbolized by the dark cold and the dark moon in winter. Therefore, the winter sword is intended to be hidden in winter.

He explained winter storage from the perspective of Xuanyin, which can be named Xuanzang. Xuanming storage is like a turtle and an abyss, while Xuanyin storage is like the moon and ice.

As his understanding of Xuanzang deepened, Yu Shuyang's mind became more substantial, unlike before when his mind was like a vague thought in the underworld.

He looked around the underworld again and saw twenty ghost tribes, each with several ghosts coming out, including unicorns, yellow tigers, blue sheep, and leopards.

They were different from the half-human, half-beast creatures I'd seen last time. They had lost their human form and transformed completely into mythical beasts. This must have been influenced by the Xuanming Wenqu Temple, where there were four auspicious beast-like deities, and the spirits of the dead who transformed into ghosts and monsters were modeled after them.

A group of ghosts walked in front, followed by a group of dead souls. They carried trees cut down from the underworld and wanted to build a wooden bridge over the Naihe Canal.

He took another glance and saw that except for the first Xuanming Wenqu Temple, the land in front of the other twenty temples had also been cultivated and planted with Fengyou Gui Rice.

The ghost rice has grown and has been harvested three times. Many ghosts have been able to eat the ghost rice and turned into ghosts.

Right now, his underworld has nothing to produce except the Fengyou Ghost Rice, so he still has to find a way to find the Taiyin spiritual plant.

He did not practice the ways of ghosts and gods. He built the underworld not only to earn merit, but also to let the ghosts work for him for free and cultivate the precious medicine of Taiyin.

Seeing that everything in the underworld was going according to plan, he had nothing to worry about. With the Xuanming Pool as a protection, it was almost impossible for ghosts from the outside world to cross the river and invade.

Moreover, now that the three rivers are available, ghosts fall into the pool and are washed by the Xuanming Water, Huangquan Water and Naihe Water one after another. Their minds and past memories disappear, and they are no different from newborn ghosts in the underworld.

Immediately, Yu Shuyang's mind withdrew from the underworld. This time, he did not insert the soul-guiding banner back into the ghost wormwood field. The tiger's mouth evil had turned into a lucky place, and there was no way to restrain the evil spirit.

He urged his magic power into the ink pool and manifested a moon snake. He used the moon snake as a magic sword and controlled it to perform the Winter Mysterious Hidden Art. The Netherworld's deathly aura was absorbed by the moon snake, and as the snake scales shook, it separated into the five mysterious energies.

In winter, Xuanming attracted the rhythm of Xuanyin magic, and was driven by Yu Shuyang to create the five waters of Xuanyin. In a moment, five water balls were refined in the ink pool.

Now that he could quickly refine the Five Xuanyin Waters, he no longer needed to preserve the water. Instead, he threw it all into the ink pool and began to wash and refine the elixir.

The five Xuanyin waters scattered into the ink pool and floated lightly on the water surface. The water and ink, and even the five waters, were clearly separated and did not mix with each other.

Yu Shuyang took out the Douyue again and turned it into a water-stirring stick. To wash water, one had to stir the water. This time, it was different from drawing the deathly energy of the Netherworld into the ink pool and using the Douyue to stir the water to decompose the five elements of the Mysterious Underworld.

Pounding water is similar to pounding medicine. The medicine and spiritual water must be pounded into one. There is a special method of pounding eighteen times in total for refining elixirs using the Moon Snake Water method.

He drove Daoyue into the ink pool, turning it counterclockwise and forward, pounding it each time, and repeated this eighteen times, which was eighteen poundings in total.

At this time, the five waters of Xuanyin have been refined into one and soaked in the ink pool like honey. The elixir liquid has been pounded and can be washed with water to make the elixir.

He put away the Moon-beating Technique, used the Moon Snake Technique to manifest itself and entered the ink pool. He first drank the elixir in one gulp, and then coiled up as a snake.

The Moon Snake is similar to the Yin Fire Black Snake, both of which are Yin Fire snakes. When the elixir enters the snake's belly, it is wrapped by the Yin Fire of the Moon.

The moon star belongs to the Taiyin, which is the most yin and the coldest. The moon fire also follows this principle, and according to the changes of yin and yang, it is divided into the moon's yang fire and the moon's yin fire.

The moon's yang fire is icy and can turn iron and stone into powder when lightly burned. The moon's yin fire is cold and can turn iron and stone into ice crystals when lightly burned.

The five Xuanyin waters were refined into one. When the Moon Snake swallowed it, it was tempered and washed bit by bit by the Yin Fire inside it. The elixir liquid was refined into a ball of elixir like a pregnancy.

At this point, the elixir is already 80% mature, and it only needs to be pulled to turn the elixir into pills. This is a sign of successful elixir refining. Similarly, the skill of pulling the elixir also determines the number of pills produced.

Yu Shuyang was not in a hurry to pull the elixir, and continued to let the Moon Snake nurture the elixir. This was also the difference between refining the elixir by water method and refining the elixir by fire method. The temperature was not so urgent.

He practiced first, using the water method to squeeze the pill like squeezing water out of a sponge. He had to control the force and the amount of water output. When the squeezed water fell into the ink pool, it turned into a pill.

If all the water is squeezed out at once, it will become a large pill. Although the medicinal properties of this large pill are three to five times that of an ordinary pill, it is still a loss in terms of cost.

Yu Shuyang was not worried about controlling the strength. Now he could control the sword to perfection. The only problem was the amount of water. He had never made an elixir before, nor had he seen anyone else do so.

After much consideration, he decided to use a drop of water as the standard. After all, it was not difficult for him to refine the Five Waters of Xuanyin. At worst, he could just start over after refining it.

Then, he began to pull the elixir fetus. The Moon Snake opened its mouth and spit out a white ice stone. The snake's tail tapped the ice stone lightly, and a drop of white light fell into the ink pool.

As the snake's tail continued to strike, a layer of white pills floated in the ink pool. Yu Shuyang took one and held it in his hand to look at it.

The pill was as small as a grain of rice, and round as a bead. There was a black and gold pattern on the pill embryo. From all indications, the Xuanming Five Qi Pill was successfully refined.

This pill is a ninth-grade ghost pill, used to neutralize evil spirits. After eating it, ghosts can travel in broad daylight without worrying about being burned by the sun. It can also be used to treat burns from spiritual fire.

There was no problem pulling the Dan tire, so Yu Shuyang was no longer worried and no longer controlled it carefully. He pulled Dan quickly and the snake's tail whipped the Dan tire like a whip.

Before long, the egg-sized ice stone became as small as his little finger. He continued to pull the elixir until there was nothing left and it was all refined into pills.

He took out the treasure gourd, which was specially used to store pills to keep the pill energy intact. Logically speaking, the ninth-grade ghost pill was not qualified to be stored in it.

Elixirs and precious medicines are also divided into grades, according to five categories and nine grades. The five categories are: heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost, and the nine grades are from nine to one.

To judge the type of elixir, you can tell from the color of the elixir pattern: ghost elixir has black patterns, divine elixir has gold patterns, human elixir has white patterns, earth elixir has yellow patterns, and sky elixir has blue patterns.

If you want to judge the grade of a pill, just count the number of pill patterns. One pattern is ninth grade, two patterns are eighth grade...nine patterns are first grade.

Yu Shuyang finally counted them and found that he had harvested more than a thousand pills on his first attempt at refining pills. Because he pulled the pills with the same force, the patterns on the pills were clearly visible without any damage.

　I woke up this morning with pain all over my body and my fingers were numb. I was tired from carrying my luggage yesterday and I wasn't very used to the new place I had just moved to. I had planned to write 4200 words for a chapter, but ended up with 3400. I couldn't do it anymore, so I wrote another chapter.
