In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 228 Stripping Away Yin and Restoring Yang!

What is 'negative'?

"The yin energy in the body, including lust, illness, karmic obstacles, and other things that deplete vital essence, all belong to the 'yin' category!"

"Yin substances deplete a person's essence, blood, and vital energy. Once the essence is depleted, the spirit will naturally suffer!"

"The so-called yin energy is like a rotting limb; 'exiting the yang spirit' means removing the yin energy from the body,"

"Strip the limbs, crush the decay!"

"This is the process of cleansing yin and preserving yang!"

"Until Yin is exhausted and Yang is pure, the elixir light penetrates to the bone, and the Yang spirit of all the orifices bursts forth with fire!"

"This is called: The return of Yang, the movement of the sun and moon!"

"What does that mean? To refine a bit of yang from yin, that is..."

"The spirit emerges!"

"The four barriers of the mind can be broken!"

"Afterwards, cleanse the Yin and preserve the Yang, until you reach pure Yang! Then you can condense a primordial core in your sea of ​​consciousness, shining as brightly as the sun and moon!"

"This is the fifth level of the mind—the realm of 'Nourishing the Holy Embryo'!"

"When the sacred embryo is nurtured to the point where the elixir light can penetrate the bones and burst forth from the facial orifices, one can attempt to break through these five barriers and directly enter the sixth heavenly barrier—the Returning to the Origin Spirit!"

"The emergence of the Yang spirit is simply the Yin spirit being born with a bit of pure Yang, possessing the nature of pure Yang."

"The primordial spirit is the true Yang spirit!"

"According to ancient legends, immortals and Buddhas often have celestial and Buddhist light emanating from the back of their heads and bodies. Most of them are true cultivators who can separate their primordial spirit from their bodies!"

"..."

Xie Lingxin quietly flipped through the handwritten book.

It's clear that Zhong Quan is quite knowledgeable.

Although he writes in plain language, he often expresses his thoughts directly, just like the man himself, and hits the nail on the head.

Not only did it explain the secrets of "sending out the spirit" in great detail, but it also mentioned the path that followed.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it pointed to a general direction.

This was a huge help to Xie Lingxin, who was completely clueless about the situation.

He originally intended to practice according to the prescribed methods.

The book explains it clearly enough. According to his cultivation, he is confident that he can break through the barrier of "exiting the Yang spirit" in one fell swoop.

However, these past few days, while copying "Journey to the West," the words have been flowing through my mind from time to time.

Suddenly feeling something, I put down the book.

He picked up a pen and paper again and began copying "Journey to the West".

Each stroke, each word, each phrase.

Not too fast, not too slow.

It seems that the "exit of the Yang spirit" has been forgotten.

I don't even know my original intention in copying the scriptures.

Just used to it.

Having mastered the Way of Kingship, he became increasingly capricious.

"'This disciple was originally ignorant and did not know how much time had passed. I only remember that there was no fire under the stove, so I often went to the back of the mountain to gather firewood. I saw a mountain with beautiful peach trees, and I ate my fill of peaches there seven times.'..."

The Patriarch said, 'That mountain is called Rotten Peach Mountain. Since you've eaten it seven times, it must have been seven years.'...

“‘You monkey, you won’t learn this, you won’t learn that, what are you going to do?’ He stepped forward, struck Wukong on the head three times, put his hands behind his back, went inside, closed the middle door, and left the crowd behind…”

He copied the scriptures and studied his skills on the Monkey Fangcun Mountain for seven years, engaging in dialogues with his master.

The monkey refused to learn this or that, so the patriarch struck it three times and sent it away.

That's a memorable scene.

The strokes of the pen slowed.

The patriarch struck three times, seemingly in anger, but actually to offer guidance.

What kind of guidance are you giving?

Naturally, it refers to the time of day.

What time is this?
Is three strikes the third watch? Is it midnight?

"Strip the limbs, crush the decay..."

"The yang energy returns, and the sun and moon begin their journey..."

Xie Ling thought of two sentences in Zhong Quan's handwritten letter.

I changed to a different piece of paper and wrote that sentence down.

After thinking for a moment, he put it aside, picked up another piece of paper, and wrote down a sentence:
"The hexagram 64 in the Book of Changes, Stripping: It is not advantageous to go anywhere."

It means that when the material reaches its limit and begins to peel off, it becomes difficult to continue moving forward.

"The sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, Fu: Success."

"Fu" means to return to the origin.

When the Yin forces strip away the Yang forces to the point of near exhaustion, a new Yang force descends, hence the term "recurrence".

When the yang energy returns, communication is restored, hence the saying "restoration of prosperity".

It represents new life and the beginning of a cycle.

The monkey ate its fill of peaches seven times on Rotten Peach Mountain, which is exactly the process of "peeling" and "re-peeling".

“Repeat the process, and it will return in seven days.”

"Peeling" means reaching the extreme and it is not advisable to go any further; at this point, one should "return".

The cycle goes on and on!
After the accumulation of Yin, Yang will return!
Instead of purging all yin and leaving only pure yang.

It is from the extreme of Yin that Yang arises!
Xie Lingxin put down her pen and closed her eyes to think quietly.

No more was obtained at that time.

He wasn't in a hurry either.

From morning till night, they continue to repeat the same old habits.

Copying scriptures, meditating, sightseeing, having fun...

Sleep when you're supposed to, eat when you're supposed to.

This happens every day, repeating itself day after day.

On the seventh day, at midnight, around 11:00 AM.

The crescent moon in the sky looked like a hook.

Xie Lingxin suddenly felt something and sat up from the couch.

With five hearts turned toward the heavens, thoughts become still and serene.

The moon in the sky is like a hook, and seven stars, like spoons, appear and disappear.

It directly entered his mind and manifested within his consciousness.

The moonlight and starlight merged into one, flowing from the crescent moon onto the seven-star ladle.

It then flowed down the handle of the spoon.

It poured into Huaguo Mountain and seeped into Kanyuan Cave.

It then flows downstream, down Snake Coil Mountain, into Eagle Sorrow Stream, and merges into the East China Sea...

Xie Lingxin felt as if she were in a daze.

At some unknown time, a place where the sea and sky meet appeared on the East China Sea.

A wisp of gold suddenly appeared.

Then a golden arc... half a red sun...

The sea ripples, and countless golden rays sway.

"boom--!"

A golden-red sun finally struggled and leaped out from where the water met the sky! In an instant, its light blazed brightly, and thousands of mountains and valleys burst into flames!

Illuminate the universe and the vast sea!

Drive away the stars and the waning moon!
Xie Lingxin's eyes suddenly opened.

It is as if the golden sun shines in one's eyes.

The light reached three feet high, making the room appear white.

A sentence came to Xie Lingxin's mind: "After all the yin energy is stripped away and the elixir is ripe, one can break free from the cage and enjoy longevity!"

"Boom!"

As if something had been shattered, a golden-red "millet" jumped out from above.

Although it was only the size of a grain of rice, it illuminated the room with a bright golden-red glow!
"what!"

Xie Lingxin chuckled, a thought suddenly forming in her mind.

The golden-red "millet" circled around and bumped into the window.

"boom!"

With a soft sound, this illusory object, born from the mind, seemed to have a physical form, crashing through the window and flying out.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, the sun was rising, and the morning light was shining down.

"Golden Millet" flew out of the window, soared into the air, and danced up and down in the sunlight.

"Wow—!"

Xuanxuan and Susu discovered the "Golden Millet" and took flight.

They explored, chased, and played around the "golden millet".

It's like two cranes chasing the sun!

It's unrelated to the meditation hall.

Ru Man pushed open the window and looked up at the scene of two cranes chasing the sun above the Hanging Rock Water Pavilion.

His face, as round as a full moon, showed joy, but also surprise.

Near Lüdao Garden, there were also many people who witnessed the strange sight and discussed it among themselves.

"Your Highness, the nascent yang energy is like a candle in the wind; it is not advisable to leave the body for too long."

The sound of fullness came from within.

Xie Lingxin's joy faded slightly as she sensed the slightly unsteady Jin Su and realized that what he said was true.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly withdrew the "Golden Millet".

This is neither the consciousness spirit, nor the desire spirit, nor the yang spirit.

It's just a hint of pure Yang energy.

Could it be considered the prototype of the primordial spirit?
No, it hasn't reached that stage yet; it should be the embryonic form of the Holy Embryo.

Basically, this is no different from the legendary "Golden Elixir"!

[Sex: 1000.01/10000]

The fourth level of the mind: Astral projection!
"Zhizhi——!"

“Hoo-ah!”

The cries of the Monkey King and the White Dragon resounded from the depths of his heart.

This dampened Xie Lingxin's joy.

Thoughts swept through his mind.

Both of these things have actually gotten bigger.

The Mind Monkey transformed into a giant ape over ten meters tall.

The white dragon was even more terrifying; a giant dragon over a hundred meters long churned in the sea, stirring up huge waves.

However, although the white dragon looked much larger, it was just playing around and having fun, with a clear sense of foolishness in its eyes.

But the restless monkey's eyes were constantly darting around.

A menacing glint flashed from time to time.

This thing really has some ulterior motives.

Moreover, he is quite cunning.

Xie Lingxin was reluctant to admit that this was simply her personality.

But in fact, this thing is exactly like me!
You know yourself best.

Xie Lingxin was certain that this mischievous monkey was plotting to turn the tables and become the master!

hum!

Can you really turn the world upside down?
"Ding dong~"

"Ding dong~"

I come from a noble family! Congratulations!

I am from a noble family! At 18, I broke through the four mental barriers, making me quite a figure in the entire Federation!

I come from a noble family! But are you practicing the method I gave you? It seems a bit like it, yet not quite!
At this moment, I received several messages from Zhong Quan.

It seems that he saw the commotion earlier.

He lives not far from here.

Can he be considered a significant figure?
Xie Lingxin seemed to be deep in thought.

Is that all?
Thinking that Chen Jinxin had broken through the four mental barriers a long time ago, right in front of him.

My heart, which had just begun to soar, sank again.

Don't be arrogant!
The Federation is too big, and there are too many geniuses.

There is someone even stronger by your side.

What right do they have to be proud?
As for his own cultivation of the Yang Spirit Technique...

It's not entirely the method Zhongquan gave me.

His advice was "purify yin and preserve yang".

What I cultivated was "removing yin and restoring yang"!
Yin and Yang coexist, in a continuous cycle!
Little Heart Lingling: You gave me a lot of inspiration, thank you.

He replied casually.

He replied with "As expected," and then said nothing more.

"Ding dong~"

Just as Xie Lingxin was about to get up, she received another message.

Cui Hong: This case is not easy to handle.

Xie Lingxin: ?

Cui Hong: Su Zuoming and Tian Quancao are both dead. The Shence Army has pinned all the crimes on these two, making it impossible to investigate.

Cui Hong: Cui Chenglin originally intended to start with the powerful Zheng family. The Zheng family colluded with the Shence Army, using the canal transport to smuggle salt and iron, and were the local tyrants of the Mengjin section of the canal.

Cui Hong: "The Shence Army embezzled disaster relief funds and grain, which, through the Grand Canal, would inevitably pass through the hands of the Zheng family."

Cui Hong: But the other day, Cui Chenglin took us to the Zheng family and found that the entire Zheng family had been killed, with no survivors.

The Zheng family?

The people who were chasing Zhang Zhihong before?
This case is the only thing he cares about now besides his cultivation.

He couldn't let his mind be at peace until he taught those beasts a lesson and gave the people of Bianzhou justice!

Xie Lingxin: What are Cui Chenglin's plans now?
Cui Hong: He wanted to find the Grand Canal Gang. People on the Grand Canal couldn't possibly not have dealings with the Grand Canal Gang. However, he heard that the leader of the Grand Canal Gang, Fang Chaotian, had disappeared. His son and daughter had been seen by someone not long ago, but now they have also disappeared.

Fang Xiaming and Fang Zhaoshuang, siblings?

Xie Lingxin recalled that Fang Zhaoshuang had appeared at Mengjinkou that day, but Fang Xiaming was nowhere to be seen.

Later, she killed Su Zuoming, and then disappeared again...
