Starting with the consumables of the Demonic Sect, one can barely achieve immortality.

Yu Caiying was startled:

"What do you mean? Why do adults want me to think this way?"

Tendo did not respond immediately, seemingly pondering how much he should reveal.

After a long pause, he smiled softly and said:

"Don't you really understand?"

Yu Caiying shook her head.

Surprisingly, this time Tendo didn't laugh at her for asking a low-level question, but instead responded with an unusually serious attitude:

"Junior Sister Yu, what do you think the Silk Weaver is?"

Yu Caiying was taken aback, and after a long while, she tentatively asked:

"To provide the Palace Master with personnel to pull the puppet strings?"

"I once heard Senior Sister Huang say that the silk weavers produce very little Unstable Mist, not even enough for her to use alone."

"The fact that the hall would spare no expense in using a large number of souls to sustain them suggests that it's not just for providing mist for Senior Sister Huang."

Tian Tong laughed:

"Your understanding that the supply of puppet strings is the key point is that you have surpassed 90% of the people in the hall."

"It's just a little short."

Yu Caiying frowned deeply.

This deputy leader of the enforcement team was indeed an outstanding talent among corpse cultivators; he quickly understood:

"The puppet strings... are not the main point either."

"The silk threads are merely a product of the excess yang fire within their bodies. The purpose of cultivating these people is to research how to enable the yin bodies of corpse cultivators to practice yang techniques."

"The key to the 'True Method of Stabilizing Yang with Threads' lies not in the threading of threads, but in stabilizing Yang!"

Judging from the results, the attempt in the palace was clearly successful.

Among countless silk-weaving women, one successfully escaped the fate of being a waste of resources and cultivated the Sun Technique with the body of a corpse cultivator, thus gaining Qi.

This person is now referred to as the Holy Maiden by the cultivators of the Hall of Longevity; she is the only one like her in hundreds of years.

Tian Tong said leisurely:

"You're almost at the heart of the problem."

"Why does His Highness want a corpse cultivator with a yin body to master yang magic?"

"If all we lack is a Sun-type cultivator, wouldn't it be more efficient to find a suitable person among the living to pass on the teachings?"

"Although in the eyes of those in power, the lives of the silk weavers are worthless."

"But there must be some basis for them to believe that the Yin body can cultivate Yang, which is why they are willing to spend a lot of souls that they consider precious to them to verify it."

Yu Caiying suddenly realized:

"The cultivation techniques left behind by the Heavenly Corpse Path!"

Tian Tong then nodded approvingly and recounted the whole story in detail:

"In the era when the Heavenly Corpse Path was passed down, the Silk Weaver originally had another name: the Corpse Raising Woman."

"These female cultivators who use yin bodies to cultivate yang methods exist to assist the corpse cultivators within the Daoist tradition."

"In that era, after the ancient cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Path reached the end of their lifespan, most of them would seek a new body with excellent physique to possess and live a second life."

"Back then, Youyu Zhong was still in their hands, and the success rate of Foundation Establishment cultivators seizing bodies was quite high... Heh, at least higher than the success rate of the Palace Master seizing my body."

Yu Caiying pretended not to hear anything.

Tiantong continued:

"But once you possess a body, it means you'll start your new life as a corpse cultivator in the underworld."

"Not only are the lineages of cultivation limited to Yin-related lineages such as [Cold Qi] and [Netherworld]."

"The cultivation efficiency of a corpse cultivator's Yin body is also much worse than that of these great cultivators' bodies in life."

"Therefore, these female corpse cultivators who practice the Yang method are needed to assist them in their cultivation with the Yin-Yang Harmony method to speed up their progress so that they can quickly return to the Foundation Establishment stage."

He smiled, not without a hint of mockery:

"Do you really think this so-called 'corpse-raising institution' is established to support the descendants of the Daoist lineage?"

"Don't make me laugh. We're all cultivators of Yin Sha, yet these ancient cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Path have such kind hearts?"

"The corpses that the morgue raises are themselves, from beginning to end."

"Those old fogies who dreamed of returning to their old haunts after being possessed and reincarnated, to rebuild their lineage!"

Yu Caiying suddenly understood, and blinked her beautiful eyes repeatedly, saying:

"No wonder!"

"I already found it strange. This is the North, after all. Who would be so foolish as to risk leaving valuables unattended, waiting for their enemies to come and loot them?"

"These old fogies of the Corpse Path are even more vicious than the cultivators of our Immortal Sect."

"Now that we've ended up with our entire family being slaughtered, it's not a bad end after all."

Tendo stared at her with a strange look, seemingly wanting to laugh, but ultimately held it back.

Yu Caiying's eyes lit up:

"Then I understand."

"Even if that silk weaver was here before, as long as she received the inheritance here, she would definitely realize that the ancient cultivators back then did not have good intentions."

"Then she certainly won't stay here long, otherwise wouldn't she just become expendable resources for the corpse cultivators who come here!"

Tiantong said:

"From the very beginning, Senior Sister Huang never cared about that guy's whereabouts or whether he lived or died."

"What she cares about is the legacy of the Corpse-Raising Maidens left behind by the Heavenly Corpse Path... a legacy that can make them more 'useful'."

"If that female cultivator took the inheritance out, Senior Sister will have her own way to find her whereabouts."

"If not... then finding this legacy and dealing with it is our task."

His voice suddenly became low and somber, and the smile disappeared from his tone.

"At the very least, we can't let the Holy Maiden get her."

Yu Caiying suddenly realized the weight of the task she was carrying, but at this moment there was no turning back, so she clenched the hand seals even tighter.

But then Tiantong chuckled softly:

"However, we need to prioritize dealing with this aspect."

"There's no need to worry about the other junior disciples receiving the inheritance before us."

"The orthodox lineage of the Heavenly Corpse Path is all written in the elegant language of the Zhou Dynasty."

"In this day and age, very few people can understand these words."

"The silk weavers did receive some education, but it was only enough for them to barely understand... not to mention their ignorant junior brothers and sisters."

"Besides, I know all too well what kind of behavior and habits these new disciples have."

"Otherwise, why would I give them so much time, Junior Sister?"

The corpse cultivator, his cloak billowing and graceful as a refined gentleman in a turbid world, laughed heartily:

"At this very moment, they are probably still arguing to the death over trivial matters."

"Entering a treasure trove only to return empty-handed—that perfectly describes these ignorant and clueless individuals, destined to be lowly cultivators, like pigs, sheep, dogs, and horses, for their entire lives!"

......

Unbeknownst to the two on the lower level, at this very moment, in a dark room on the third floor of the Corpse-Raising Institute, Yan Cheng was silently staring at a scroll of old books.

The letter was written in ancient script, which he knew nothing about, but the message reflected in the Immortal Mirror clearly told him what it was:

The True Method of Stabilizing Yang with Threads!

At that moment, he finally understood why the silk weaver had stopped almost instinctively when she tried to escape that night.

"Good heavens, this thing... it's actually a cultivation technique used to nurture a dual cultivation vessel!"
