Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 558 Stop! (Second Update!)

Thinking of this, Yin Congyi immediately said, "Master, I have heard about the cultivation before the formation of the core."

"Refining one's Dao heart is to fight against the tribulation of inner demons."

"Essentially, the inner demon is another self of a cultivator after being corrupted by yin energy."

"Therefore, the stronger the Dao foundation, the stronger the inner demon tribulation."

"If a cultivator has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, then he only needs to prepare more talismans and magic tools to deal with the tribulation of inner demons."

"Because these kinds of cultivators are not very strong to begin with, their inner demons are not very strong either."

"But even if such cultivators successfully overcome their inner demon tribulation, they can at most condense a turbid core of grade seven or lower, and have virtually no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage..."

"If it's Earth-grade Foundation Establishment, it's better than Human-grade Foundation Establishment."

"For cultivators like these to deal with their inner demons and tribulations, ordinary external objects are no longer effective. They need to rely on their natal magic weapon, or, like those at the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment stage, begin to refine their Dao Heart during the Foundation Establishment period..."

Seeing that Yin Congyi had a good grasp of the basic knowledge, Yan Bingyi felt gratified and said with satisfaction, "You're right."

"That is indeed the case for cultivation before Core Formation."

"However, as long as the Yin energy in this world continues, inner demons will never cease to emerge."

"After the Core Formation stage, especially for the top three grades of Golden Core, the amount of spiritual energy required for cultivation is extremely large."

"The more spiritual energy a cultivator absorbs, the more yin energy he also absorbs."

"When there is too much yin energy, inner demons will rise again."

"And each time it gets stronger than the last!"

"Therefore, the most important thing in cultivation after Core Formation is not spiritual energy."

"This is the [Nine Netherworld Treasures]... Ah..."

Yan Bingyi spoke eloquently, but at this point, she suddenly gasped in surprise.

Yin Congyi immediately asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Yan Bingyi remained silent for two full breaths, seemingly trying her best to endure something, before finally speaking, her voice suddenly becoming urgent: "It's nothing, this, this is the fortune I borrowed, and there's been a problem."

"Quickly light the three remaining incense sticks that your master has!"

"I...I need to suppress the backlash immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Congyi had no doubts and immediately did as he was told, quickly taking out the black pottery incense burner and three half-burnt bone incense sticks.

He inserted the bone incense into the incense burner and lit it quickly.

The incense burned fiercely, and as the smoke billowed, it quickly outlined a graceful figure. Her dress was flowing and gorgeous, and she floated in mid-air like a goddess. It was Yan Bingyi.

Yan Bingyi's body is still only half there; one arm and her lower body are blurred into smoke and clouds. Her expression is one of struggle, and her body trembles slightly, as if she is desperately suppressing something.

Looking at her seemingly pained yet enduring appearance, Yin Congyi was surprised and stood by her side, not daring to utter a sound.

After a brief silence, Yan Bingyi finally caught her breath. She closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, and said with great difficulty, "You...you go and build the market first, don't worry about your master."

Yin Congyi immediately replied, "Yes!"

He knew that his master was highly skilled, and if even his master couldn't handle the backlash, staying put would be useless and would only delay his immortal examination.

Therefore, after agreeing, he took his leave and continued to measure the surrounding area, set up formations, and use incantations to determine the feng shui and plan the layout of the market...

As soon as Yin Congyi was out of sight, Yan Bingyi quickly set up a soundproof array around them. The next moment, thick smoke billowed from the black pottery incense burner, churning and billowing, like a dense cloud that completely obscured her figure.

"Oh... Oh oh oh..." Within the soundproof array, smoke billowed, surging like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing, and various strange sounds suddenly rang out from the depths of the smoke and clouds.

After a long while, Yan Bingyi finally said breathlessly, "Stop, stop now..."

※※※

Zheng's Market.

The owner's mansion.

Main hall.

On the soft couch, Zheng Que was circulating the [Secret Record of Yin-Yang Harmony] while simultaneously activating his two "laws".

At this moment, Xue Shuangzi's body, from the waist up, still retains her original appearance.

The character "正" (zhèng, meaning upright or precise) that Zheng Que had written on the other person's thigh last time resurfaced in his mind.

As the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record] was activated, the exhilaration was indescribable, and his cultivation level within his body also surged and rapidly increased.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears: "Quick, stop..."

The voice was clear and melodious; it was the voice of Yan Bingyi, Yin Congyi's master.

Zheng Que was not surprised by this, as his second "law" allowed him to hear what Yan Bingyi was doing.

Thinking of this, he showed no sign of stopping. While continuing his cultivation, he transmitted his voice, saying, "There's a problem with the technique you passed on to me last time!"

"My ghost servant has just suffered the backlash of your three incense sticks again."

"I am saving my ghost servant!"

Before the words were even finished, Yan Bingyi's urgent voice quickly followed again: "No, impossible..."

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with my technique!"

"You, you're a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator, don't you want to condense your Golden Core?"

Condensing the Golden Elixir?

Zheng Que's expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly understood the meaning behind the other party's words.

His cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds in these few days, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment in just a few days.

If this continues, his cultivation will soon reach the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, after which he will need to prepare for Core Formation.

However, his cultivation is improving too fast, and he hasn't had time to condense his Dao Heart yet, nor does he know how to do so.

Therefore, if he were to attempt to form his core in his current state, the risk of failure would be very high!

Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately transmitted his voice: "Tell me the method to condense your Dao heart!"

Yan Bingyi's voice came again: "Stop! I...I'll tell you right away!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que shook his head inwardly. The reason he was able to communicate with Yan Bingyi remotely, and why Yan Bingyi couldn't do anything to him, was because of his "Law".

Without the power of "law", how could he know what the other party would say next?
then……

Snapped!
Then, in a fierce tone, he shouted, "Speak up!"

"If you don't talk, I'll beat you until you do!"
