Junior sister, I really need to control you

Li Yinsheng nodded, got up, and pushed open the door to leave.

"Don't use your divine sense to probe over here!"

As he closed the door, Uncle Jiang called out from behind.

……

One hour later.

After taking advantage of this time to wake Mu Xiaoyu from her dream and have her cultivate, Li Yinsheng returned to his uncle's room.

Knock on the door.

"Come in, Yinsheng," Uncle Jiang's calm voice rang out.

Li Yinsheng pushed open the door and entered. Uncle Jiang was still sitting on the bed, with red circles around his eyes and the tip of his nose.

Out of consideration for his uncle, he pretended not to see her, kept his eyes straight ahead, and walked straight to sit down next to her.

Uncle Jiang said softly, "I just cried for a while."

"I didn't want you to know, it's a bit embarrassing," Uncle Jiang gently held Li Yinsheng's hand, "but I can't hide it from you now that I'm in this state."

"Uncle-Master, is this... tears of joy?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"I suppose so," Uncle Jiang chuckled. "I thought I would always be a burden to you, but I never expected you to be such a prodigy in cultivation."

"With you here, Xuanzhen Temple will certainly not be disbanded."

Li Yinsheng smiled: "Of course. I will definitely get an A grade in the Zhengyangdao examination at the end of next year."

"Getting carried away!" Uncle Jiang poked his forehead again. "What's the point of competing for the top rank? Among the cultivators competing for the top rank, there are quite a few newly promoted True Persons. It's not something that's easy to win."

"You'd be lucky if you could get a second-class grade and inherit the position of abbot within the lineage."

When Li Yinsheng told his uncle what had happened, he didn't know when to insert the information that he was now a real person, so he simply didn't say it.

Immediately, Uncle Jiang shook his head again: "However, given your age and talent, you will not only inherit the position of Abbot, but the entire lineage will likely value you highly."

"At that time, abandoning the Xuanzhen Temple and joining the lineage might be a better choice for you."

Li Yinsheng shook his head and smiled, "Let's talk about the future later. There's still more than a year until the next Dao Examination."

"Mm." Uncle Jiang nodded.

“By the way, Uncle-Master, I happen to have something about the Taoist temple that I wanted to ask you,” Li Yinsheng said.

"What is it?" Uncle Jiang asked.

“I’ve been looking through the notes left by the senior masters in the temple.” Li Yinsheng carefully chose his words.

"All the notes mention another kind of technique for tempering the soul, but I have never found it in the library. Does our temple really have this technique?"

Uncle Jiang was taken aback, seemingly surprised that Li Yinsheng would ask this question.

"You noticed this?" Uncle Jiang shook his head. "The techniques for tempering the soul are top secrets of each Taoist temple, and only true cultivators can practice them. It's useless for you to have them now."

Li Yinsheng was about to take this opportunity to tell his martial uncle that he had become a true immortal.

But Uncle Jiang immediately added, "What do you mean by 'top secret'? Anyway, you are now the master of Xuanzhen Temple. Since you asked, I naturally have nothing I can't tell you."

"The so-called techniques for tempering the soul do exist in the temple. To be precise, they did exist in the past."

Li Yinsheng was taken aback.

"There was one before?" He immediately realized, "Uncle-Master is referring to the lost sect-suppressing cultivation method, 'The True Interpretation of the Mysterious Treasure Illumination of the Heart Seal'?"

“That’s right.” Uncle Jiang nodded. “This temple-suppressing technique is actually divided into two parts.”

"One is the 'Precious Illumination Scripture,' which is for cultivating Qi and can be practiced even by those below the True Person level. The other is the 'Heart Seal Scripture,' which can only be practiced by True Persons and is specifically used to temper the soul."

"Whether or not one practices the Baozhao Sutra depends on one's individual aptitude. Most of the true men who have appeared in the temple have practiced the Baozhao Sutra, but some have practiced other methods."

"For example, what I specialize in is a sword manual. Although its grade is not as high as the Baozhao Scripture, it is more suitable for me."

Li Yinsheng recalled that some of the seniors' notes also mentioned that they practiced other cultivation methods.

"Then the Heart Seal Sutra..." Li Yinsheng asked.

"The Heart Seal Sutra is the only cultivation method in the temple that can temper the soul and refine the spirit, so every True Person will practice it as well," said Uncle Jiang.

"Including you, Uncle-Master?" Li Yinsheng's eyes lit up.

"That's natural." Uncle Jiang nodded.

Li Yinsheng almost hugged and kissed his Uncle Jiang.

When he heard his uncle say that the only soul-tempering technique was the lost temple-suppressing technique, his heart skipped a beat.

However, he quickly realized that since it was the only soul-tempering technique, and his martial aunt was also a true person, there was no reason why she hadn't practiced it.

Now it seems that this was indeed the case.

"Then... Uncle-Master, do you still remember the Heart Seal Sutra?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"Do you think I have a bad memory?" Uncle Jiang asked rhetorically.

"Then can you teach me?" Li Yinsheng pressed.

“Yin Sheng, only a True Person can cultivate the Soul Tempering Technique. Even if you obtain it, you will not be able to master it properly and will find it difficult to enter the gate.”

Uncle-Master Jiang shook his head and said, "Unless one happens to possess a superior aptitude related to the divine soul, perhaps they could attempt cultivation in front of a True Person, but such people are too few..."

Just as Li Yinsheng was about to shout, "I am the real person, I've been holding it in for ages!", Uncle Jiang spoke up again.

"But since you're curious, I'll tell you. Anyway, you can't cultivate the Heart Seal Scripture until you become a True Person, so it won't harm you."

She smiled and said, "Just remember not to waste your energy and time on it. Once you break through to the True Person realm, you will naturally be able to cultivate."

Li Yinsheng thought to himself, "My uncle-master is as easy to talk to as ever."

Now that he has mastered the cultivation technique, he is already a true immortal. It's not too late to tell his martial aunt later. He wants her to process what has happened these past few days.

Ultimately, a person in their early twenties is still a bit too extraordinary; even the Zhengyang lineage probably hasn't produced such a prodigy.

If he were to tell his martial uncle now, he was afraid that his martial uncle would burst into tears of joy again, just like before, and make him leave, then cry for another hour or two before passing on the "Heart Seal Sutra" to him.

Moreover, her martial aunt is currently weak and medicine is ineffective. After being agitated twice, she will probably have a sleepless night.

So after thinking for a moment, Li Yinsheng nodded directly: "Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'm just curious."

Of course, because he's so curious, once he learns it, he'll practice it for decades straight, and then he'll definitely stop being curious.

"Come here, come closer." Uncle Jiang beckoned to him with his finger.

"There's no need, Uncle-Master, it's just the two of us here," Li Yinsheng complained.

Uncle Jiang didn't insist and began to explain the Heart Seal Sutra to Li Yinsheng.

Li Yinsheng listened attentively.

Although his sea of ​​consciousness was far more stable than that of a newly promoted True Person, he had never come into contact with any knowledge about the sea of ​​consciousness, and therefore remained confused about many subtle aspects of his own sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, after receiving the "Heart Seal Sutra" from my uncle, I suddenly felt enlightened.

Moreover, the "Heart Seal Sutra" that her martial aunt taught also included her own cultivation experience and insights, which were explained in great detail, making Li Yinsheng very satisfied.

Uncle Jiang, who was explaining the Heart Seal Sutra to Li Yinsheng, was also very satisfied.

She explained the Heart Seal Sutra to Li Yinsheng for two reasons. Firstly, as she said, the Heart Seal Sutra is impossible for cultivators who have not yet become true immortals to practice, so there is no harm in it and there is no need to worry that Li Yinsheng will be affected if he learns it in advance.

Moreover, given his junior apprentice's talent, becoming a true master is inevitable. It doesn't matter if he learns the skills ahead of time, since he'll need them sooner or later anyway.

But besides that, there is another very important point.

During this time, Li Yinsheng was busy urging Mu Xiaoyu to cultivate.

Although she didn't understand why Li Yinsheng cared so much about this ordinary girl, she knew that her nephew had been spending less time with her lately.

Although she didn't want to interfere with her junior apprentice's important business in the past, and wouldn't let him spend too much time with her every day, now it's definitely a little shorter than before.

This is definitely not her imagination!

Now that she is teaching and explaining the "Heart Seal Sutra" to Yinsheng, he has to stay with her.

Although the technique itself is not long, with her own cultivation experience and insights, it is estimated that she will not be able to finish explaining it until this evening, or even after dark.

In other words, my nephew will have to stay with her all day.

Chapter 35 Fifty Years of Cultivation, Heart Imprint Tempering the Soul

late at night.

Li Yinsheng emerged from Uncle Jiang's bedroom with a satisfied expression.

Thanks to his master's meticulous explanation from daytime until now, he has completely mastered the Heart Seal Sutra.

Unfortunately, her martial aunt's main cultivation method was a sword scripture, so she had never practiced or remembered the other scripture, the "Precious Illumination Scripture".

Otherwise, Li Yinsheng actually wanted to switch to studying the Baozhao Sutra.

The reason why the few true people in the temple who did not practice the Baozhao Sutra, including my uncles, mainly practiced other cultivation methods was mainly due to their own innate abilities.

For example, my martial aunt's innate talent is very suitable for sword cultivation, and she herself is also devoted to the way of the sword, so she chose the sword scripture as her main cultivation method.

A senior who left behind a handwritten note possessed the talent for body refinement, but the Baozhao Scripture did not emphasize body refinement. Therefore, his main cultivation method was the "Five Chariots and Three Vehicles Life-Giving Technique" that Li Yinsheng had previously read.

Even the senior who cultivated to become a True Person using the Qingxuan True Scripture chose this cultivation method because it was more compatible with him.

But Li Yinsheng was not like that.

He cultivated the Pure Profound Scripture simply because it was the best cultivation method he could obtain at the time.

If the "True Interpretation of the Mind Seal of the Mysterious True Illumination" had not been lost at that time, he would definitely have practiced the Precious Illumination Sutra.

However, the Qingxuan True Scripture itself is not bad either, and the cleansing and marrow-refining effects of the Qingxuan Divine Light are very useful to my junior sister.

If one were to switch cultivation methods, the Pure Profound Divine Light would be lost.

Compared to a new cultivation technique that is only slightly better than the Qingxuan True Scripture, the benefits that the cave heaven can provide are obviously many times more important.

In addition to learning the Heart Seal Sutra from his master today, Li Yinsheng also asked her another question.

Junior Sister Mu has already reached the second level of the Qingxuan True Scripture and can now learn spells. If her goal is to "prepare for the Shaoyang Dao Examination", what spells should she learn?

As a prodigy who had shone brightly in the Shaoyang Dao Examination, Uncle Jiang did not disappoint Li Yinsheng. After a moment of thought, he recommended a very suitable sword technique.
