Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 512 Yin and Yang
"What did you say? You want to give this spiritual vein to the Huayuan Sect?" As night fell, under the bright starlight and the well-lit hall, Lin Zixiang's expression changed drastically.

He had always been in charge of this place, and he was naturally unwilling to hand it over to Huayuan Sect. More importantly, he needed this second-tier mid-grade cultivation room to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The Hunyuan Sect currently has a total of four mid-grade second-tier cultivation rooms: two in Luoyun Mountain, one in Tianshui City, and one here.

All four cultivation rooms already have owners; the two on Luoyun Mountain belong to Hu Xiaobao and Su Zhirou.

The original Fang family spiritual vein in Tianshui City belonged to Huang Qi.

Now that this spiritual vein is going to be given to Huayuan Sect, where is he supposed to find a mid-grade second-level cultivation room?

Seeing his expression change, Yu Lian, who was sitting opposite him, quickly tried to persuade him with kind words.

"Senior Brother Lin, don't get agitated. The sect leader has already taken your cultivation room issue into consideration. This mid-grade second-tier cultivation room will still be yours to use. The people from Huayuan Sect will be stationed here, and you will be in charge of coordinating matters with them from now on. In other words, they will be under your leadership."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zixiang's expression softened slightly, but he was still angry: "Why should we give this spiritual vein to Huayuan Sect? We don't even have enough disciples for ourselves. When they come to seek refuge, we can just find them a place to settle down. Why give them a second-tier spiritual vein?"

Yu Lian smiled: "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. I only know that before he came to seek refuge, the sect leader had already sent Xiao Ling to the Huayuan Sect. You should ask the sect leader yourself what happened!"

George Lam said nothing more, got up and left the room with him.

…………

The blazing sun shone into the dimly lit hall, making Feng Ziyi feel slightly dazzled.

Under the sunlight, Xu Zhuoxuan seemed to be draped in golden light, with several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Bright Moon Sect following behind him.

A group of people filed in.

"Junior Feng Ziyi pays respects to Senior Xu." Feng Ziyi bowed respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, it's been a long time." Xu Zhuoxuan smiled and personally helped the bowing Feng Ziyi to his feet.

"We are a defeated and raging army, and we hope that you will take us in, senior."

"Fellow Daoist Feng's actions are in accordance with the will of Heaven and the hearts of the people, preventing a pointless battle and saving countless lives of disciples from our two sects. His merits are immeasurable." Xu Zhuoxuan smiled and took his seat in the main seat: "Fellow Daoist Feng, please be seated, fellow disciples!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Bright Moon Sect took their seats, but Feng Ziyi remained standing upright.

"Those disciples who followed me to surrender to your sect are all determined to serve your sect. I hope that you can take good care of them."

"Don't worry about that. Our sect has recruited many cultivators over the years. Once you join our sect, we treat everyone the same, no matter who you are. I hereby announce that you will continue to be in charge of the affairs of Yongning City. From this day forward, you will be the fourth elder of our sect."

"Thank you, senior."

"We're all family now, no need to be so formal."

Feng Ziyi understood immediately: "Yes, Master."

"Junior Brother Ding, you and Junior Brother Feng go together to settle the disciples who have surrendered to our sect."

The two men accepted the order and left. After they had gone far away, Nie Liang, the Grand Elder of the Bright Moon Sect, finally spoke up: "Sect Leader, why did you leave Feng Ziyi in Yongning City and put him in charge of the affairs here? Although these people have pledged allegiance to our sect, they are not sincere. We are only forced to be wary due to the situation!"

"I think all these people in charge should be transferred to the main base of our sect, Humen City, in order to divide them."

"Otherwise, if they are allowed to gather together all day long and control the resources of Yongning City, things will inevitably change if something happens."

Xu Zhuoxuan didn't take it to heart: "Junior Brother Nie, there's no need to worry. I know all this. It's just that Hua Yuanzong has just surrendered, and it would be too undignified for us to transfer them to Humen City. It will surely cause resentment in their hearts. Besides, we also need someone to help us handle the affairs in Yongning City."

"After a while, we can gradually disperse them. With me here, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

Nie Liang frowned: "Huo Youming led a group of people to escape from Huayuan Sect. These people are die-hards. It would be best to eliminate them completely. Otherwise, they will always be eyeing the sect and will cause trouble sooner or later."

Xu Zhuoxuan snorted coldly: "A bunch of rabble, no need to pay them any mind."

"But I heard that Huo Youming led those people to join the Hunyuan Sect. Song Xian is a man of great ambition and should not be underestimated."

When Song Xian was mentioned, Xu Zhuoxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"One day, I will wipe out the Hunyuan Sect as well."

…………

The moon is bright and the stars are few; the wind howls fiercely.

Inside the dimly lit room, the lamplight flickered.

On the soft couch, an elderly woman with white hair and beard nodded slightly and hummed softly. "Mother." "Mother, Uncle Hua has come to see you." Lin Xingyu held the old woman's hand and called softly from the bedside.

Upon hearing the sound, the old woman opened her cloudy eyes and seemed to unconsciously hum in response.

"Sister Rou, are you alright?" Hua Yuan looked at Lin Huairou, who was so old she no longer looked human, with concern, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Within the entire sect, the two had the best relationship due to their status and similar experiences, and they could talk about almost anything.

Originally, Lin Huairou's cultivation level was slightly higher than hers, but now she looks like this.

The dividing line between the two was the foundation building stage; one succeeded, and the other failed.

"You...you've come." Lin Huairou slowly turned her head, and her cloudy eyes seemed to clear up a little.

"I had nothing to do, so I came to talk to you."

"Thank you... thank you for coming to see me at this time."

"Sister Rou, why are you saying such things? Are you upset that I haven't come enough? Then I'll come whenever I have time in the future."

"I'm not going to make it." Lin Huairou slowly stretched out her hand.

"Sister Rou, it's alright, get some rest." Hua Yuan held her hand.

Lin Huairou turned to Lin Xingyu, her gaze filled with both tenderness and worry.

"Everyone dies eventually, but there's only one person I can't let go of: Junior Sister Hua. For the sake of our years of friendship, I beg you to take good care of Xingyu in the future. I can die in peace then."

"Sister Rou, don't worry. I've watched Xingyu grow up since he was little, and he's also a close friend of my Yuan'er. You don't need to ask; I'll do my best to help in any way I can. Don't think too much; just focus on resting and recuperating..."

While the two were talking, George Lam and Jiang Zichen were also talking in the outer room.

"I originally thought that Huo Youming and the others came to join our sect. I didn't expect that they just came to Bianxi City to seek refuge. And yet, we still have to give them the spiritual veins? Isn't that absurd? They're not even disciples of the sect, so why should we give them so many cultivation rooms?" Lin Zixiang snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction.

"The sect leader has his reasons. The Bright Moon Sect has occupied Yongning City and annexed the Hua Yuan Sect, greatly increasing its strength. Our Western Frontier County suffered heavy losses in the battle. If we can unite with the people of the Hua Yuan Sect, we can at least temporarily deter the Bright Moon Sect and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to attack us."

"Will the Bright Moon Sect attack us? Are they relying on the remnants of the Hua Yuan Sect? I really don't understand. Our sect doesn't even have enough cultivation rooms for its disciples, yet we're giving them away to outsiders. Isn't this just putting on a show? It's only causing resentment among our disciples. The disciples who originally occupied the cultivation rooms in this spiritual vein have all rendered meritorious service to the sect. Now that we've taken their cultivation rooms and given them to outsiders, who will be willing to risk their lives for the sect in the future?"

Hearing his complaints, Jiang Zichen had no choice but to continue explaining: "Once the people from Huayuan Sect arrive in Bianxi City, they will have to be mindful of our mood and obey our orders. The expenses for several hundred people are not a small amount, so it's better for them to take responsibility for themselves. It's not the right time to force them to join our sect. As for the disciples of our sect who were originally stationed at this spiritual vein, the sect leader has already made arrangements for them."

Lin Zixiang sneered: "There are only so many cultivation rooms. How can we arrange them? Are we going to conjure up another second-tier mid-grade spiritual vein out of thin air? We'll just have them take turns using it elsewhere."

Jiang Zichen was speechless, so he changed the subject: "The sect leader will definitely consider it, so don't worry. How is Senior Sister Lin doing now? I heard it's not very good?"

Lin Zixiang glanced expressionlessly in the direction of the room: "The spiritual energy within my body has gone out of control; it will probably be over in the next few days."

…………

Inside a brightly lit room on Luoyun Mountain, Song Xian toyed with a green gourd in his hand, a look of anticipation on his face.

This was picked from the giant tree in the secret realm years ago, and it has not changed since it was obtained.

He had previously poured yin energy into it, and the yin energy had already condensed and compressed into a ball in the lower half of the gourd.

After observing for a long time, he found that the gourd did not change after absorbing yin energy. Therefore, a year ago, he found a place with abundant yang energy and tried to use the gourd to absorb yang energy.

As expected, the gourd can absorb not only yin energy but also yang energy.

Yin energy lingers below, while Yang energy lingers above.

After a year of smelting, the yang energy absorbed by the gourd has been condensed and compressed, but it is not as compressed as the yin energy.

To this day, the yin and yang energies inside the gourd have always remained in their own territory, without infringing on each other.

He tried various methods to merge the yin and yang energies together, but to no avail.

I don't know if it's just not the right time, or if some other condition is missing.

There was nothing he could do but hope that it would react on its own.

The Tai Chi Yin-Yang Divine Power he cultivates requires the fusion of Yin and Yang energies. This gourd can both absorb and condense these energies, so it must have a special effect on them.

If he could use this gourd to combine Yin and Yang energies, it would be of great benefit to his cultivation of this supernatural power.
