Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 24 Master is resurrected again
Guan Minghui called Cui Haike back, took down the net bag containing the ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, and had him hang it around his neck.

He had already refined the jade into a magical artifact, and then taught it how to use it.

Cui Haike, accompanied by Wen Yu, returned to the Extreme Yin Cave for the second time.

That warm jade truly lived up to its reputation as a rare treasure nurtured by the mountain's dragon veins. It emitted a strange red-purple light that enveloped the person's entire body, making them feel warm from head to toe.

The powerful cold wave from the Black River swept in head-on, but it was as if it had encountered a pillar in the middle of the current, and could not be shaken in the slightest.

This time, Cui Haike went to great lengths to finally find the Ice Silkworm, put it in a stone box, and brought it back.

The ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm was about a foot long, milky white, and plump. It seemed harmless to humans and animals, and when touched, it was only cool to the touch, without any chill.

Guan Minghui placed the ice silkworm on the stone bed, observed it for a while, saw its wonders, and was very pleased. He then took out Cui Haike's Green Lotus Golden Pill and returned it to him.

Cui Haike was overjoyed. He thought the demon corpse would absorb his golden core to enhance its strength, but he never expected to get it back.

This is a treasure he painstakingly cultivated for two hundred years. Flying swords and magical treasures are all external things; only this is the foundation for cultivating immortality and establishing one's destiny.

Guan Minghui said, "Now that you are in the body of a demon corpse, this golden core is no longer usable. I will teach you to use the Profound Yin Great Technique to refine it. Although it cannot be directly transformed into a Profound Yin Golden Core, it can still create a Profound Yin Inner Core."

Cui Haike inwardly smiled bitterly at the regression in his cultivation, but on the surface he appeared flattered and repeatedly bowed in gratitude, expressing his willingness to go through fire and water for Senior Gu Chen.

He was just an ordinary unorthodox cultivator, and his cultivation method was also very ordinary.

His greatest skill was alchemy and medicine making. The Six Yang Bone-Changing Elixir and the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that he refined were divine medicines that were unique in the world.

All cultivators, regardless of whether they undergo physical or spiritual liberation, can possess another body and be reborn immediately once their primordial spirit has cultivated to the required age and their body is still intact.

Even Han Xianzi, the wife of Shen Tuo Yi Xiu, one of the five richest women in Shu Mountain, had to go through a roundabout way to ask someone to ask him for medicine.

Therefore, by utilizing the effects of external elixirs and medicines, he refined the Qingping Golden Elixir to the ninth level within two Jiazi (60 years), which is considered a legendary tale among unorthodox practitioners.

Now that Guan Minghui has given him a break and taught him the alchemy method, he went to a corner to take the golden pill, silently circulated his energy to refine it, and condensed a new Xuan Yin inner core in his body. Over the course of several months, he repeatedly peeled and regenerated the core, and the core was completed in six stages!

The power of the sixth-stage Xuan Yin Inner Elixir is greater than that of the original ninth-stage Qing Ping Golden Elixir!
He cultivated until his blood was boiling, constantly refining and evolving. The yellow light in his pupils had turned emerald green, as if green flames were burning.

During the time he was refining elixirs, Guan Minghui was also using warm jade and ice silkworms to make elixirs.

Jade crystals nurtured in places of extreme yang are warm and not hot; they are the lesser yang, or true yang, contained within the sun.

Ice silkworms, nurtured in extremely yin places, are cool and not cold. They are the lesser yin nurtured within the greater yin, and are true yin.

Normal cultivation methods involve the manifestation of Yang and the concealment of Yin. The skills and techniques displayed are of Yang nature, while Yin is hidden as the foundation, neither revealed nor exposed.

The Xuan Yin Great Law is the exact opposite; it manifests as extreme yin and coldness, yet conceals a trace of true yang as its foundation, which is called Xuan Yang.

There are many people in the world who practice the Xuan Yin lineage of magic, but they only know how to practice the superficial Yin techniques. Although they can achieve quick results, their power is limited and they are easily countered and broken by the pure Yang techniques of the righteous path.

The Heavenly Lust Cult Leader, however, possessed a unique Xuan Yang Secret Method. As the saying goes, "Isolated Yin cannot produce, and solitary Yang cannot grow." Only by achieving a balance of Yin and Yang could the Heavenly Lust Cult Leader have the word "Lust" in his name and endure for a long time.

Wen Yu, still and gentle, pressed against Guan Minghui's chest, continuously and slowly releasing Shaoyang warmth that Guan Minghui absorbed.

The ice silkworm took the initiative and spewed out a stream of extremely cold air that could freeze an entire glacier!

Without the warm jade, Guan Minghui wouldn't be able to directly absorb this freezing energy. With the warm jade protecting his foundation, he could directly inhale it, refine it in his middle dantian, and then guide it into his lower dantian to boost his internal energy. Each time he absorbed the cold energy, he would be instantly frozen solid, turning into a large block of ice before long.

Seeing this, Yang Li asked his master if they should run away.

Cui Haike knew that there was a formation hidden inside the cave, and that the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner would appear as soon as they reached the cave entrance.

Yang Li suggested entering the underground lung, traversing the soil layers along the isthmus, and finding another exit to escape from here.

Cui Haike hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and whispered to him, "This demon corpse's magic power is so profound that I cannot fathom it. I don't know what kind of evil magic it is practicing now. The time I calculated for its escape is not today. It's better not to take any risks, otherwise, if we anger it, we will suffer for nothing."

Suddenly, Guan Minghui's voice rang out from inside the cave: "Your master is wise enough to know what's good for you! I've already promised you that when I leave this place, I will naturally set you free. If you try to escape before then, I will tie you up with black silk threads and send you into the earth's core to fish for the Bing Fire Spirit Serpent!"

The master and apprentice trembled in fright. Cui Haike quickly said, "Don't worry, senior! I have already promised to serve you until you leave, and I will never go back on my word..."

In fact, Guan Minghui was completely focused on absorbing the cold air at this moment, and was sealed inside the ice block, so he had no idea what was happening outside.

The words that rang out in the air were spoken in advance by him. The spell was recorded and hidden in the Xuan Yin Refining Soul Array. Once Cui Haike and his disciple showed any intention to escape, the array would be automatically triggered by the spiritual sense.

This miraculous technique was completely unfamiliar to both master and disciple, and even Yang Li was astonished: "He... he can even hear your telepathic transmission, Master..."

"Stop talking!" Cui Haike quickly told Yang Li to shut up, afraid that he would say something else that would anger the demon corpse.

Several days later, the solid ice on Guan Minghui's body gradually disappeared, and eventually all the cold air was absorbed by him.

His skill level increased again; the nine days of effort he put in were almost equivalent to his hundred days of arduous cultivation!

In addition to cultivating himself, he also crafted a new Xuan Yin Divine Curtain.

Initially, nineteen main lines were woven into the core, and then various branch lines and auxiliary lines were added inside, repeatedly injecting a massive amount of black evil spirits.

Once refined, it is a cloud of black smoke when held in hand, but when released, it can blot out the sky.

This thing has no upper limit; theoretically, it could cover the entire world...

With the help of the Ice Silkworm, Guan Minghui first refined a basic Profound Yin Divine Curtain, then sent it into the Earth's core to absorb the endless black miasma, earthly evil, profound energy, and black frost...

For this treasure to upgrade, it also needs to absorb the profound yin energy of heaven.

Therefore, every night, Guan Minghui would transform his qi into wisps of black evil mist that floated among the mountains and fields, using them to absorb moonlight.

More than half a year passed, and then one night, a black sword light flew in from the north and landed in front of Lingyu Cliff.

The sword light dissipated, revealing a short, fat man dressed in yellow hemp clothing, with a triple chin around his neck and a deathly pale face.

A head much larger than normal, with facial features spaced far apart, all stretched flat on its surface. In particular, the eyes almost reached the top of the forehead.

His arms and legs were very short, like a dwarf, but his hands and feet were very big, with two large palms like palm-leaf fans.

Looking at the hazy mist under the moonlight, the man was first startled, then his face lit up with joy: "Master! Master didn't die, he really came back to life!"
