Chapter 146 The Terrifying Second Master, Yin-Yang Taoist Robe

This cultivation lasted until noon.

The results of the shadowy figure's efforts during this period were completely divided up with Li Wushou.

Following the patterns of sunlight, a dark shadow silently fell onto the ground beneath the incense table, no longer feeling heavy as before, but rather somewhat exhausted.

Li Wushou's face was ruddy, his chest heaved, and his heart pounded like thunder, causing the incense smoke in the room to fluctuate and tremble.

The paper goddess outside the courtyard prostrated herself on the ground, trembling with fear. The aura emanating from her was as deep and boundless as the ocean, and the buzzing sound of her heartbeat was like the murmur of an ancient god, causing her mind to be in constant turmoil.

She had thought that the master was already far beyond her reach!
I never expected that the second master would be even more terrifying than the first master.
Because in addition to feeling the overwhelming pressure, she also sensed a kind of greed.

This greed terrified her even more than the Third Master's desire to devour her flesh when they first met.

This is a kind of wantonness that seems to devour everything.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

A low murmur suddenly rose from the side room, like the prayers of believers when worshipping gods. That greedy desire, like a raging flood, was imprisoned in a cage!
Although the paper goddess is made of paper, she felt exhausted at this moment, as if her whole body was soaked in sweat.

The second master looks so polite, how could he be so terrifying?
Wasn't it said that the Second Master was just a high priest in the City God Temple?
Before coming to the Three Immortals Pavilion, she had never heard of the First Master and the Third Master, but she had heard Zhu Sihai mention the Second Master's name a few times.

She thought the eldest master and the third master were the most deeply hidden, since she couldn't even see the eldest master before he subdued her, but she didn't expect the second master to be the one to be the most hidden.

"Creak!"

The door to the side room suddenly opened, and the Paper Goddess, who was lost in thought, shivered instantly upon seeing this.

"Paper Goddess, come in for a moment!"

The Paper Goddess's expression changed drastically. Was this the Second Master calling her? Oh no! Was she going to be eaten? The Paper Goddess looked miserable and began to recall her life.

But she quickly responded:

"This humble servant, the Paper Guanyin, is unworthy of being addressed as Second Master and Your Majesty!"

As they spoke, they entered the side room. The eldest master was admiring the head of the Tree Goddess, while the third master was chewing on the bloodshot eyes of the Six-Eyed Monk. Whether it was her imagination or not, the Paper Goddess felt that the two of them had looked very solemn before the door was opened.

But when his gaze fell upon the Second Master sitting cross-legged under the incense table, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to move, and not even daring to raise his head.

This room was like a temple to her, suppressing her mind and making it difficult for her to concentrate.

Seeing the Second Master, who had just made her heart tremble, made her lose her composure and become disoriented.

Li Wushou slowly opened his eyes, secretly regretting that his internal organs still could not be fully restored.

Now that four of his five internal organs are complete, he originally intended to fill in the remaining spleen and stomach in one go, but he almost swallowed the shadow as well!
This dark figure has been eating all this time, and this is it?

His flesh and blood naturally possess the ability to devour and digest; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to digest the rice, grains, and meat he eats every day.

He thought that if his spleen and stomach were fully condensed, his ability to devour and digest would be further enhanced.
By then, he'll probably be able to devour living souls and spirits without relying on the shadows.

Unfortunately, the shadowy figure wasn't very helpful. It seems I need to eat more to properly nourish my spleen and stomach.

Li Wushou felt sorry about this, but he wasn't regretful. After all, if the task had been completed, his appetite would have been even greater.

At that time, even the mighty Five Directions City will struggle to support the Three Immortals Pavilion.

After calming his mind, Li Wushou realized that although the remaining Yin energy was not enough to fully replenish his spleen and stomach, there was still plenty left. He did not waste it and refined it into his lower dantian.

Then he started thinking about the Yin-Yang Taoist robe again.

I had intended to investigate it myself, but since the old beggar had brought the Paper Goddess back to the Three Immortals Hall, I figured I might as well ask him.

Judging from the humble and respectful appearance of the Paper Goddess, the old beggar has done a good job of training her. The Three Immortals Pavilion is indeed short of a servant to clean the house, and this Paper Goddess is quite suitable!
Because the other party doesn't want wages, and judging from that paper-thin appearance, they probably don't eat much, right?
He took out the Yin-Yang diagram from his pocket, laid it flat in front of the prayer mat, and with a thought, the blood-soaked Yin-Yang Taoist robe flew out from it.

Chen Gou'er, chewing on the blood-red eyes, licked his lips, but unusually remained squatting in place, not rushing forward.

Li Wushou reached out and took it, then asked the prostrate paper goddess, "Tell me about this Yin-Yang Taoist robe and Yin-Yang diagram!"

Upon hearing Li Wushou's question, the Paper Goddess finally came to her senses. Seeing that her Yin-Yang Daoist robe and Yin-Yang diagram had fallen into Li Wushou's hands, she showed no dissatisfaction and hurriedly began to respectfully recount everything to Li Wushou in detail.

This conversation lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Only then did Li Wushou understand the origin of the Yin-Yang Taoist robe and the Yin-Yang diagram.

It turns out that this paper goddess was originally a paper figure created by a cultivator, who usually cleaned and managed the cave.

But after leaving the cave a day later, the cultivator never returned. The Yin-Yang Daoist robe and the Yin-Yang diagram were the cultivator's treasures, which were then taken by the Paper Goddess.

However, the Paper Goddess does not possess the power of Yin and Yang, and usually only manages to activate these two treasures by sacrificing flesh and blood and using evil spirits.

She knew less about the Yin-Yang diagram than Li Wushou did.

However, she always wore this Yin-Yang Daoist robe, and even went so far as to alter her paper body, filling it with a large amount of flesh and facial features, all in order to feel Yin and Yang through this robe.

The spirits of the wicked are inherently yin, and the Paper Goddess also wanted to understand that sliver of yang. Through the Yin-Yang Taoist Robe, she has made rapid progress over the years.

However, she was born with deficiencies, lacked comprehension, and had insufficient incense offerings, thus remaining stuck in the same place. Nevertheless, she still cherished this Yin-Yang Daoist robe, because it was impervious to water and fire, and ordinary magical artifacts could hardly break through its defenses, which was extremely important for protecting her paper body.

Li Wushou was not disappointed after hearing this. From the way the Paper Goddess used the Yin-Yang diagram to imprison the Wen Shenguan, he actually knew that the Paper Goddess's use of the Yin-Yang diagram was very rudimentary.

Therefore, the application of the Yin-Yang Taoist robe must not be very sophisticated.

What he really wanted to know was where the Paper Goddess obtained these two treasures.

Upon hearing the Paper Goddess utter the words "cave dwelling," Li Wushou understood immediately. Before he could express it, Chen Gou'er on the other side jumped up excitedly.

"Li Wushou, a serendipitous encounter in Wu Zhuangyuan's tales! A cave dwelling that the protagonist would inevitably encounter!"

Hearing Chen Gou'er's shout, Li Wushou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had finally become the protagonist in the storybook.

He was almost depressed during this period. In order to support the City God, he offended all the gods and ghosts around him. He even thought he was the villain!

Seeing that the Third Master was curious, the Paper Goddess didn't hide anything and accepted her fate.

Regardless of the background of these three gentlemen, as long as they don't eat her, she will have a powerful backer. For her, this is not an unexpected encounter or a great fortune!

“I have marked this cave. I can take the three gentlemen there. However, many years ago, it was shrouded in eerie mist and should now be in the Lost Land.”

Chen Gou'er hopped over to the Paper Goddess, patted her small body, and praised her:

"Little paper doll, not bad, not bad! Not only does it look delicious, but it's also useful!"

The old beggar rolled his eyes at Chen Gou'er's naked body and said to the Paper Goddess:

"Go down and tailor a few pairs of trousers for the Third Master!"

He could tell that the Paper Goddess's mind had been pushed to its limit.

There are places where gods can stay, but humans cannot.

There are places where people can stay, but gods cannot!
The paper goddess felt as if she had been granted a pardon, kowtowing repeatedly and bowing to each of the three before leaving the room.

Li Wushou ignored all of this and carefully examined the Yin-Yang Daoist robe. The robe was good, but it was too small for him to wear! It would be more suitable for Chen Gou'er, since his size was similar to that of the Paper Goddess.

Could Chen Gou'er be the main character?
Li Wushou looked at Chen Gou'er's naked body and was speechless.

The protagonist who's naked?

Even if Wu Zhuangyuan didn't have such a strange picture book, right?
The Laogong point in his palm opened, and a wisp of Yin-Yang power fell into it. He had explored the Yin-Yang diagram in this way before, and he thought that this Yin-Yang Daoist robe was probably the same.

Li Wushou stared at the Yin-Yang Daoist robe. As the Yin-Yang power merged into it, a stream of light suddenly flashed across the robe.

The flesh and blood attached to the Yin-Yang Taoist robe were slowly absorbed into the robe, and in the blink of an eye, the robe became as clean and spotless as new.

Li Wushou thought to himself, "What a treasure! I wish I could wear it!"

As soon as he had a thought, the Taoist robe rose up without wind and slowly grew larger, eventually fitting him perfectly. Li Wushou's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it and put it on.

It fits perfectly! It's just as good as Tiger's mother's cooking.

At the same time, the Yin and Yang meridians within his body trembled slightly, resonating with the Yin and Yang Taoist robe.

The pure Yang in the middle Dantian and the pure Yin in the lower Dantian flowed slowly, and a phantom Taiji diagram suddenly appeared above Li Wushou's head.

This Tai Chi diagram is very similar to the Yin-Yang diagram spread out on the ground, but it has some variations and is in a slow, flowing state.

The sense of yin and yang opposition within it is reduced; it is more like the unity and fusion of two forces.

Subconsciously, Li Wushou activated the Panlong Technique. The paper goddess outside the door, who was cutting trousers, sensed something and looked up at the midday sun. She felt that the sun seemed to have dimmed a little!
The power of the sun flowed into the Taiji diagram, and as the diagram circulated, it differentiated into pure Yin and Yang power, which, under Li Wushou's guidance, flowed into the lower and middle Dantian.

Li Wushou suddenly opened his eyes. The absorption efficiency was about the same as his usual cultivation!

However, Li Wushou was no longer limited to practicing the Panlong Technique for a while and then supplementing it with the Yin Refining Technique.

Through the differentiation of this Tai Chi diagram, it is equivalent to Li Wushou being able to cultivate both Yin and Yang forces using a single method.

This will greatly improve his efficiency. After all, the Panlong Technique is much more advanced than the Yin Refining Technique. If it weren't for the Black Shadow's assistance, the Yin Refining Technique wouldn't be able to keep up with the efficiency of the Panlong Technique.

So, after that, when the shadowy creatures are unable to find food, by using the Yin-Yang Daoist Robe and circulating the Panlong Technique, my Qi cultivation progress should not be too far behind.

This pleased Li Wushou somewhat; for this one function alone, the Yin-Yang Daoist Robe had not disappointed him.

But the wonderful uses of this Yin-Yang Taoist robe are not limited to this!
As Li Wushou dispersed the Panlong Technique, his mind stirred, and the illusory Taiji diagram above his head fell into the Yin-Yang diagram on his back.

The yin-yang symbol on the Taoist robe was pushed and transformed into a new Tai Chi pattern, causing the void around Li Wushou to slowly distort.

The old beggar, who was playing with the head of the Tree Goddess, suddenly raised his head.

"Huh? This is a Dharma Domain?"
