Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 9 ruined Wen Yu
Yang Li was in extreme distress when he suddenly heard the scriptures. At first, he didn't know what mischief the demon corpse on the bed was up to.

He was exceptionally intelligent and quick-witted; after listening to just a few sentences, he immediately grasped their meaning.

The first sentence means: The human body has the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin. Every day after 5 PM, the true fluid in the lungs descends to the kidneys and is stored in the kidneys.

This is "the moon hides its true nature".

At midnight, the kidney qi is activated, and at dawn, it reaches the liver. "Jueyin" refers to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, and the liver stores the soul.

Therefore, it is called "drawing out to become Jueyin, and the kidney qi nourishes the liver soul".

Guan Minghui's scripture continued to resonate in his mind: "The moon's essence hides within its full armor, its light illuminating the universe. The returning fire burns the profound path, from this point the true yin is revealed. Quickly seize the profound yin energy, and break open the Yellow Court Gate..."

Yang Li felt that he could understand the meaning of the scripture, and it was clearly from the orthodox Taoist lineage.

However, the cultivation methods and practice routes are quite different, and the mysteries within them seem to far surpass what I had learned in the past.

As an overseas rogue cultivator, Cui Haike belonged to a heterodox sect. His cultivation level was limited. After a hundred years of practice, he had only managed to refine a single Qingping Golden Elixir. His career had stopped at the Taiyi Sanshu level, and he had not entered the true stream. He could not even achieve true immortality.

Guan Minghui's Profound Yin Technique is one of the world's top martial arts techniques!

Humans love life and hate death. From ancient times to the present, people have tried their best to seek various ways to achieve longevity.

In ancient times, there was no systematic cultivation system, and the method of achieving immortality was still in the exploratory stage.

Unable to achieve immortality while alive due to repeated failures, people pinned their hopes on the afterlife.

They absorbed the essence of the moon to refine their primordial spirit and cleanse their physical form.

When their lifespan ends, a secret method is used to forcibly leave their soul inside their body, so that the two are united and will not fly away or disperse. Then, they are buried in a place with excellent feng shui using special techniques, so that they can continue to absorb the essence of the earth's energy and dragon veins.

When the time comes, they will be resurrected and reborn.

Later, many royal nobles used gold-clad jade figurines to encoffin their bodies, and then buried them using methods such as the "yellow cypress wood" method to keep the bodies from decaying, hoping for resurrection a hundred years later. These were all variations of this lineage of cultivation in the mortal world.

This method is a common practice among various schools of thought, and many people know it, but most of them cannot truly revive people. Even if someone eventually comes back to life, they will become a demon corpse.

The Heavenly Lust Cult Leader was most skilled in this art, and created many powerful techniques.

He experienced eight deaths and resurrections, and was neither Buddhist, Taoist, nor demonic. He stood out from the three religions and survived three major heavenly tribulations and ten minor heavenly tribulations. He roamed the world and was invincible.

No matter how high-ranking monks, nuns, immortals, swordsmen, or demon kings and cult leaders could do anything about him.

If he survives another great tribulation, he can cultivate an indestructible body comparable to that of a Golden Immortal!

It was because he acted too recklessly and his evil deeds eventually reached their limit, triggering the Great Punishment, and he was annihilated both in body and soul.

They were truly struck down by heaven and earth!
Even if Cui Haike cultivated the techniques he passed down for a thousand years, he still wouldn't be able to grasp even a fraction of them!

Even with Yang Li's intelligence, it was difficult for him to fully understand it in a short time.

Guan Minghui didn't know what he was thinking, but he could clearly sense the flow of Qi and blood in his body.

Realizing he didn't understand, I stopped and explained: "The Ren meridian runs through the heart, which belongs to fire and corresponds to the color red, the equator. The Du meridian connects to the kidneys, which belong to water and correspond to the color black, the mysterious path."

"Pour the Taiyin True Qi you have accumulated from the top of your head into the Du Meridian, reverse the circulation, and send it downwards into the kidneys. What is generated is the Xuan Yin True Qi. Use the Xun Wind to quickly blow it into the Huang Ting (Yellow Court), and refine it with martial fire..."

Yang Li cultivated according to the method, and it was indeed extremely smooth. Not only did he mobilize the Taiyin essence and blood in his body to temper his physical body, but he also refined a wisp of Xuanyin true qi, which was eventually introduced into his dantian.

He's such a smart kid!

Guan Minghui sighed inwardly: If I were to transmigrate into the body of the Three Immortals and Two Elders, and cultivate the orthodox Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture of the Xuanmen, and then propose to take him as my disciple, he would definitely be excited and kowtow to become my disciple on the spot.

Unfortunately, I was born into Gu Chen's family, destined to be mortal enemies with the Emei Sect and irreconcilable with all the righteous sects in the world.

But since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Although Old Gu wasn't a good person, he left me with such a large fortune. I must inherit it well and not waste this second chance at life.

He practiced diligently every day, and in his spare time he taught Yang Li the Xuan Yin Refining Soul Technique.

Although Yang Li was fierce and stubborn, the pain from the backlash of the Taiyin Refinement was unbearable. Guan Minghui took the initiative to teach him, so he silently began to cultivate. With each wisp of Xuan Yin True Qi he cultivated, the pain lessened.

That day, Guan Minghui called out to him, "Come here!"

Yang Li didn't move, sitting in the corner as if she hadn't heard anything.

Guan Minghui snapped his fingers, tightened the black silk around Yang Li's neck, pulled him over, and slammed him down in front of the stone bed.

Yang Li leaped up from the ground, glaring hatefully at Guan Minghui.

Guan Minghui said to him very seriously, "Do you want to leave here? Go back to the South China Sea to find your master?"

Yang Li guessed that he would not let him leave. Heretical people were usually untrustworthy, not only killing without blinking an eye, but also telling a lot of lies.

There are many heretical and wicked people in the South China Sea. From the day Yang Li entered the sect, his master Cui Haike strictly forbade him from associating with heretical and wicked people.

He had also witnessed firsthand how heretical cultivators deceived and harmed people.

Therefore, he snorted coldly, turned his head to the side, and did not respond.

"You don't need to put on such a sour face. I didn't do anything to you. You came to me on your own initiative, which led to this disaster. As the saying goes, you have a way to heaven but you don't take it, and you have no way to hell but you come here by yourself. You have only yourself to blame and can't blame anyone else."

Yang Li felt that what he said made some sense. It was true that he had been wronged by Lu Min and, in a fit of anger, had come to exorcise the demon, which had led to his current predicament.

However, it's never wrong to slay demons and eliminate evil on your own!
He remained silent.

Guan Minghui patiently said, "You've been with me for almost a month now. When I attained enlightenment a thousand years ago and roamed the world, your master hadn't even been born yet."

I don't want to stoop to your level. If you do one thing for me, I'll let you go and never make things difficult for you again. Are you willing?

Yang Li would certainly be willing to regain her freedom.

He looked Guan Minghui up and down with suspicion. Guan Minghui had not given his name these past few days, and he had been guessing.

In Yang Li's mind, Guan Minghui must have been an extremely powerful heretical sorcerer during his lifetime, perhaps even more so than the evil spirits of the 47 islands of Little Antarctica.

He was probably killed by a righteous senior and buried here after his death.

He noticed that Minghui still had chains around his neck, wrists, and ankles, and guessed that the senior must have already planned for him to be resurrected as a demon corpse after his death...

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Guan Minghui said with a bitter tone, "I won't lie to you. I was killed and imprisoned here by the Long-Browed Old Man of the Emei Sect. He foresaw that I would come back to life, so he specially used this Fire Cloud Chain to trap me."

As he spoke, he grabbed the chains on his body with both hands and pulled them slightly, causing the true fire of the sun to surge out of the chains.

Wisps of flame shot out, instantly turning the originally cold cave into a wave of heat.

Yang Li was shocked, but inwardly he was delighted: So it was the Long-Browed Immortal! Excellent! Master and Uncle Lu often said that the Long-Browed Ancestor of the Emei Sect was the most powerful sword immortal in the Xuanmen since the beginning of a thousand years!
He had already achieved physical sainthood a few years ago, ascending to the celestial realm as a Golden Immortal. Since he was the one who suppressed this demonic corpse here, he must have already arranged a way to completely destroy it.

Uncle Lu said that the old man was most good at foresight, and his predictions were always accurate. He must have expected that he would fall into this place and suffer this calamity today.

He just didn't know when he would be able to escape this calamity... Perhaps the task the demon corpse had asked him to do this time was the opportunity? Thinking of this, hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Guan Minghui said, "When that old man with long eyebrows left, he placed a piece of ten-thousand-year-old warm jade on top. That thing was formed by the dragon vein of Mangcang Mountain over ten thousand years, and it is full of the essence of the mountain's yang energy. It is most incompatible with the Xuan Yin Great Law that I cultivate."

"During the day, strong winds lash down from this cave, and influenced by that warm jade, it contains extremely heavy yang energy, which greatly damages my primordial spirit and physical form. If you help me destroy that warm jade, I will let you leave, and from then on, all our grudges will be wiped clean!"
