Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 11 The Wonderful Use of Warm Jade
Guan Minghui was certain that, given Yang Li's fierce and stubborn personality, he would not simply leave once he learned that Wen Yu could restrain him.

Although there was an element of gambling involved, the outcome was predetermined from the very beginning.

He held the warm jade and smiled smugly: "You only know that I am a heretic, and the Yin and Yang I cultivate are biased towards one side, with Yin being overcome by Yang, which is perfectly reasonable."

Little did you know, I also believe in the principle of Yin giving rise to Yang and Yang giving rise to Yin, with true Yin and true Yang transforming into each other, which should be no different from what you have learned.

However, my method possesses a unique mystery of the interplay between Yin and Yang, a mystery that is both manifest and concealed. Even if your master came, he wouldn't understand it even if I explained it to him!

Yang Li's expression quickly shifted from initial astonishment and shock to anger and regret. He cursed himself inwardly: "These heretical and evil people are all despicable and untrustworthy. How can we believe what they say!"

Guan Minghui held the warm jade and examined it beautifully: "The magic I know is more than all the flowers, plants and trees in this vast mountain combined. What I'm passing on to you is just a few leaves."

You look down on me, despising such unorthodox methods. I advise you to put away your arrogance, show me some respect, and learn a few more tricks; they'll benefit you for life.

Yang Li was very displeased when he heard him belittle his master, but he did not immediately refute him because he knew it was pointless. He simply retreated to the corner of the wall in silence.

Guan Minghui became more and more smug as he spoke: "Even the old man with long eyebrows can't kill me. You, a half-grown child with only a precious sword by your side, are still dreaming of slaying demons and monsters. You're simply deluding yourself!"
Putting everything else aside, the old man with the long eyebrows specially chose this perilous place for me, using the Earth's Lung to blow away ten thousand things, using the Heavenly Gang by day and the Earthly Fiend by night, constantly refining my form and spirit, trying to make my soul fly away and my spirit scatter.

I placed the Nine Yin Divine Talisman within the Earth's core, and then used the Nine Yang Divine Talisman on it to filter and tame the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends. Not only could they not harm me, but they could also be used to my advantage, helping me to forge the Divine Banner!

The more Yang Li listened, the more desperate and heartbroken she became. Not wanting to see his smug expression, she turned around, sat cross-legged facing the wall, and silently began to cultivate her inner energy.

Guan Minghui had said everything he needed to say, and stopped arguing, focusing his attention on Wen Yu.

This treasure is called the Ten Thousand Year Warm Jade, but in reality, it has taken far more than ten thousand years to form!
It is formed by the yang energy of the dragon vein of the Mangcang Mountain, yet it is neither dry nor hot, but extremely warm and moist. Its nature is not that of the sun, but rather that of lesser yang, making it the most precious.

In the original novel, Gu Chen used it to nourish his physical body, especially after being blown up by the divine talisman left by the Long-Browed Immortal, he used it to quickly repair his body.

Later, it was obtained by Li Yingqiong, who used it to entrust her primordial spirit and cultivate an external avatar.

Thanks to the help of that silly boy Yang Li, I was able to get it eighty or ninety years ahead of schedule. Not only will my body recover faster, but I can also use it to entrust my Three Corpse Primordial Spirits and cultivate the Three Corpse Incarnations!

Guan Minghui used four turns of black silk to weave a net bag, wrapped the jade in it, and hung it around his neck.

During the day, the strong winds descend, and Guan Minghui uses them to collect the essence of the sun in the wind. This is the method of "Lesser Yang overcoming Older Yang" and "Lesser Sage subduing Greater Sage".

When night fell, the Earthly Fiend Blows fiercely, and Guan Minghui uses it to release Yang energy, which fills his whole body like hot spring water, making him feel warm and comfortable!

Even with the Xuan Yin Banner protecting him, the banner's power was not strong enough, and most of the evil energy still blew onto him, forcing him to use his internal energy to withstand it.

Now, the power of the fierce energy has been completely subdued by this warm jade, and it has suffered no damage whatsoever.

The warm jade could also help his cold and stiff lower body warm up quickly, and the Shaoyang energy would steam his muscles, bones and skin, and the withered meridians would be quickly unblocked.

The Taiyin Refining Form can turn a person into a zombie. One of the main reasons is that the Yin energy is too strong, causing stagnation of Qi and blood. If one uses it incorrectly, one will go into a state of demonic possession.

"Going astray" means that the flow of Qi and blood in the body goes wrong. "Fire timing" refers to the initial skill used when cultivating internal alchemy. It's like cooking: if the heat is too low, the food won't be cooked; if the heat is too high, the food will be burnt.

This timing is the most difficult to control; it must be just right.

Becoming a demon is a matter of mental cultivation; one enters into illusion and mistakes falsehood for reality.

While warming jade cannot solve the problem of demonic possession, it can almost completely prevent qi deviation.

Even if the heat isn't controlled properly and the food is ruined, you can just throw it away and cook it again. It won't cause the stove to collapse or the pot to break, thus ruining your health.

There are many people in Mount Shu who have suffered from qi deviation and become paralyzed from sitting, such as Old Ancestor Haha, Daoist Baiqin, Five Poisons Heavenly King, Aunt Deng, and so on. Over the years, their lower bodies have become fused with stone. If they had this warm jade, they would not be in such a state. Even if they were paralyzed from sitting, they could recover in a very short time after obtaining the warm jade.

What a wonderful treasure!
Guan Minghui felt as if there was a small heater in his chest, first warming his heart and then releasing streams of warm air that radiated throughout his body.

He used magic to guide the warm current to impact his lower limbs, which did not conflict with his Xuan Yin Great Magic in the slightest.

After practicing like this for a whole month, he regained feeling in his legs, his Xuan Yin Great Law practice became smoother, and his pale face gained some color.

The deathly aura emanating from him gradually receded, while his human vitality grew stronger!
Of course, besides cultivating his body, he also made use of all his spare time to condense black yin silk, weave the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner, and also worked hard to upgrade the existing Xuan Yin Banner.

Using only the Earth's Profound Yin, one can at most refine Black Omen Silk and Profound Yin Banner of the third level. With the Heaven's Profound Yin, one can refine Silk and Banner of the highest level, up to the sixth level.

However, the amount of black chakra needed to refine a sixth-rank banner is far too much, and he doesn't have that much time and energy. Even though he works overtime, he can only refine a fourth-rank banner first. Moreover, the level of the beasts on the banner is not high enough. For a fifth or sixth-rank Xuan Yin banner, at least a demon beast must be used as the main deity.

After less than 100 days of such cultivation, Guan Minghui's meridians were unblocked, his lower body was fully recovered, and he was able to get out of bed and walk.

Gu Chen was tall and handsome. After more than half a year of cultivation, he repeatedly refined his form with his spirit, and his facial features became more and more like Guan Minghui's.

Overall, its current appearance is like the "son" of Gu Chen's original self and Guan Minghui's original self, combining all the original advantages of the two and eliminating all their disadvantages.

This new body integrates the essence of the two original bodies, with tall stature, long legs, and exquisite features. Its appearance is no less than Yang Li's. Standing there, it looks down on people and brings them immense pressure.

The only difference between him and a normal person is that his eyes occasionally flash red and green light alternately, and his skin is less rosy and still looks a bit pale.

He cut off his hair, which had grown to several meters long, and refined it all, integrating it into the black silk.

At present, he still has two constraints: the Fire Cloud Chain on his body and the Taiqing Divine Talisman used by the Long-Browed Immortal to suppress him.

He first refined the Fire Cloud Chain.

Once the Fire Cloud Chain is stimulated, it will spew out a large amount of true solar fire, which can burn his skin and flesh to a crisp and his bones to black.

If given enough time, his body could be reduced to ashes!

He originally had to refine the Profound Yin Cold Flame Golden Pill again before daring to attack the Fire Cloud Chain.

Now that we have the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Warm Jade, this treasure can absorb the true fire of the sun; however much fire cloud chain spews out, it can absorb just as much.

After the ritual, Guan Minghui ordered it to release a large amount of red and purple light to cover its entire body, and then used the Xuan Yin Cold Flame to burn the Fire Cloud Chain.

White yin fire and yellow yang flames sprayed at each other, swirling and rubbing against each other, producing crackling and exploding sounds, scattering sparks in all directions, forming a large rain of fire.

Yang Li watched from the corner, initially not understanding what was going on, but after a while, he realized that the demon corpse was trying to refine the Fire Cloud Chain of the Long-Browed True Man.

He was anxious, fearing that the demon corpse would succeed, and hesitated whether to launch a sneak attack, wondering what his chances of winning were.

Guan Minghui continuously lengthened the Fire Cloud Chain, thus expanding his range of activities.

That day, he told Yang Li, "I have reached the most critical stage of my cultivation. I am about to condense my golden core. Once I completely refine this chain, I will be able to leave. I know you have always wanted to kill me. I cannot let you move around freely like this. I must tie you up first."

He released a large amount of black silk, binding Yang Li's entire body like a silkworm cocoon, leaving only his head exposed, and hanging him upside down from the cave ceiling.
