Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Chapter 169 The True Scripture of the Primordial Yin

Su Baichen had expended a great deal of energy and spirit in order to test the Five Mountains Divine Sword that he had been preparing for so long.

After finishing, he looked around and, seeing that his master didn't seem inclined to speak, he waved and went back to his room.

Just then, a gust of demonic wind howled from his sleeve.

Quan transformed into his fox-like form: "Lord Bai Chen, I will take you back."

Su Baichen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

Quan's long tail curled up, lifting Su Baichen onto his pure white fox fur back, and then slowly walked towards Yinfeng Pass.

The disciples on duty at Yinfeng Pass saw Su Baichen sitting on the back of the fox beast, and their envy was beyond words.

Of course, no one would stop Quan's progress.

Quan carried Su Baichen on his back and walked quite ostentatiously into Yinfeng Gorge, all the way to a room deep in the corridor.

Seeing this, Su Baichen said, "It seems that your fellow disciples already know you. You no longer need to stay in my sleeve as a stone statue. You can wander around the Yin Sect on your own."

Quan simply shrank his body and lay prone on the corridor outside the room, saying in a calm and steady tone, "I will stand guard outside the door. Just call me when Lord Baichen needs me."

This guardian fox beast of the Southern Hill Fox Clan is suddenly acting as a dog in front of Su Baichen's door; it really feels like an illusion.

But this is actually easy to understand.

The fox clan is a demon clan that admires strength. Instead of harboring resentment after being completely defeated by the Yin Sect, they showed a willingness to submit completely.

The great demon of the fox clan also sought the right to follow Su Baichen and protect Su Xiangxiang, so his behavior was quite reasonable.

Su Baichen ignored it and began to cultivate his Qi in seclusion in the repair room.

He needs to recover his condition first, and then he will seriously prepare to start the next stage of his cultivation.

However----

Something unexpected happened to him.

After he diligently cultivated and recovered, he was surprised to find that his primordial spirit was stronger than before.

It seems that mastering the Five Mountains Divine Sword also enhances one's primordial spirit.

Su Baichen was quite surprised.

But since you're in such good shape right now, why not try harmonizing your spirit and energy?

He must gather the five vital energies within his chest and align them with his own will—

At that moment, he suddenly realized why his primordial spirit had been strengthened.

Because every move he makes with the Five Mountains Divine Sword involves the full mobilization of his essence, energy, and spirit; isn't that the unity of spirit and energy?

At this moment, he felt his own will and the five elements in his chest combine, and he became the five sword energies of the Five Mountains Divine Sword!

These five sword energies, though brewing within his chest, did not clash, because he had already comprehended the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements. These five sword energies were also interdependent and mutually reinforcing, and then together they tempered his primordial spirit.

Su Baichen was stunned. Had he developed a sword cultivation technique that directly led to the Qi Refining Realm?

No, what if his master beats him to death?

Although these five sword energies belong to the five elements, their underlying element is the innate earth element.

Therefore, within his dantian, these five sword energies were like the five sacred mountains suppressing him.

With each breath, all the spiritual energy in the air was suppressed and then rapidly refined by the Five Mountains into nourishment for the primordial spirit.

At this moment, both his pure Yang true energy and his profound Yin spiritual energy were swirling around the mountains.

It's like a small, chaotic world of yin and yang.

There's just one problem.

Su Baichen originally cultivated the Profound Yin Qi Technique—or you could say the Profound Yin Sword Technique.

Earth element is only a supplementary element.

The problem is that his secondary Earth element cultivation has suddenly become innate Earth element, and it seems that the primary attribute in his dantian is no longer able to suppress the secondary attribute.

Even if things continue this way, at most the Earth element will reverse and become his primary attribute, but if that happens, his master will be heartbroken.

Su Baichen hesitated for a moment, but still decided to study the "Taiyin Yuanzun True Scripture" to see if he could upgrade Xuan Yin to Taiyin.

This period of seclusion lasted for more than ten days before I knew it.

As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he resonated with the Soul Gold clone outside and then understood what had happened in the past few days.

Actually, it's nothing major. It's just that with the disciple competition approaching, the Yin Sect disciples are all eager to try.

Judging from the rumors, all disciples will participate in this grand competition, and those who perform well in the inner sect competition may be promoted to true disciples—the emergence of this promotion channel has immediately ignited the enthusiasm for cultivation among all disciples.

Meanwhile, his soul-gold avatar was teaching his junior brothers and sisters to recite the "Eternal Spring Sutra".

After leading them in reciting the mantra twice, the Soul Gold clone stopped.

At this moment, Xuan Yin Zhenren, who was looking at the distant sea from outside the chapel, asked, "Why did you stop?"

The Soul Gold Avatar said, "Master, this disciple wishes to peruse the 'True Scripture of the Primordial Yin,' please grant me permission."

Although no one can cultivate this ancient tradition now, it is still preserved in the Daoist Canon as the top inheritance of the Yin Sect.

Only with the sect leader's permission can Yin Sect disciples go to read it.

Xuan Yin Zhenren slightly raised his eyes, and on the sea where his gaze was, a mermaid emerged from the sea with a smile, the basket in her hand already full of seafood.

"Yes, but please be careful."

The Soul Gold Avatar replied, "Disciple understands."

The mermaid had already approached.

The Soul Gold clone turned its head and immediately praised, "Master's wife is getting more and more beautiful."

"Click~"

The Soul Gold clone's head fell to the ground, then completely dispersed, leaving only a thumb-sized piece of Soul Gold lying on the ground.

Xuan Yin Zhenren picked up the soul gold with a sigh and said, "This kid, relying on the fact that he's only here as an avatar, is so reckless with his words."

Shuiyin Ji said calmly, "You are truly ruthless as a master. It takes a lot of effort to shatter such a clone."

Master Xuan Yin concealed a small sword in his sleeve and said, "It's alright, I'll just make him some good food to nourish him later."

On the other end, Su Baichen, who suddenly shuddered and touched his neck, was speechless. His master was truly cunning and ruthless.

However, he didn't care much, as the slight amount of energy consumed was quickly replenished by the suppression and nourishment of the Five Mountains Sword Qi in his dantian.

A moment later, a handwritten letter drifted into Su Baichen's room and landed on his desk—this was permission for Su Baichen to borrow the "Taiyin Yuanzun True Scripture".

He picked up the handwritten letter and headed towards the Daoist canon.

Now he is focused on improving himself and doesn't want to waste a single moment.

Upon arriving at the Daoist Canon, thanks to the sect leader's handwritten copy, Su Baichen was able to transcribe the "Taiyin Yuanzun True Scripture" and take it with him.

This pleased Su Baichen quite a bit.

But when he opened the book to prepare to do so, he suddenly froze—what was there to copy? There were only a few hundred words; he could memorize them after reading them twice!

Speaking of which, the "Thick Earth Nourishes Spirit and Enriches the Soul" is also like that; it has very few words but is incredibly profound.

This situation felt somewhat unreal to Su Baichen, but he still quickly flipped through and memorized it, copying it down as he did so.

When he returned to his room, he kept pondering the contents of the "Taiyin Yuanzun True Scripture".

This ancient tradition, though seemingly only a few hundred words long, actually has a profound meaning in its concise form. The limited text seems to be filled with all sorts of ideas, making him rack his brains.

At the same time, his cultivation method also surprised Su Baichen—he disregarded everything and started by opening the spiritual aperture!

Good heavens, "opening the spiritual aperture" is a realm of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

No wonder Master Xuan Yin gave it so easily; he probably thought that with Su Baichen's current level of cultivation, studying the "Taiyin Yuanzun True Scripture" could also help him open his spiritual apertures.
