Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Not at all. It is you, Master, who should rest and recuperate. There is no need to waste your energy on such trivial matters."

Jiang Mo's gaze fell on Ji Yuqian's emaciated body, which was exhausted and barely had any life left. His brows furrowed slightly. In his opinion, this hall master had less than three years left to live.

Ji Yuqian seemed to understand the meaning in Jiang Mo's eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's an old problem, a common ailment in our lineage."

"Seeking divine secrets to satisfy human desires will shorten one's lifespan; this is divine retribution. Whether one takes medicine or seeks out famous doctors, one's fate is sealed and cannot be changed."

"Even with my mentor's advice, many times, the influence of personal relationships and worldly affairs will push me to the point where I resist but have no choice but to face it."

"Even the strongest will cannot withstand the various human desires. Ordinary people who overstep their bounds to seek heavenly secrets should pay a price. I have never regretted this matter, and if I could choose again, I would still do the same."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo expressed his approval and admiration: "To have such awareness, it seems that Hall Master Ji is both clear-headed and has great courage."

"You flatter me, you flatter me. It's just a small matter of making a living and continuing the sect." Ji Yuqian smiled happily.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, he reached into his pocket, took out a roll of old blueprints, handed it to Jiang Mo, and forcibly stuffed it into his hand regardless of whether he accepted it or not.

"Hmm? Hall Master Ji, what is this?"

"A roll of waste paper, marked with a blessed land and grotto. In the past, that old ghost Han slaughtered my teachers to seize this item. We failed to thwart his wish. Since Master Jiang has settled this blood feud for me, I'll give this thing to you."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly and asked in return, "This blessed land and grotto-heaven may hold opportunities; are you willing to leave it for me?"

"It's hard to find such a place, and I certainly don't have the ability to do so."

Ji Yuqian showed no resentment or regret, and frankly said, "Many predecessors went there and returned empty-handed, and some even got lost in it, which is why I said it was worthless."

"If Master Jiang can comprehend its profound mysteries, what harm is there in taking this opportunity?"

"Alright, since you're so generous, I thank you in advance."

Jiang Mo placed the blueprints on the table, not in a hurry to disassemble them. He still needed to cultivate and take care of the sect, and couldn't find the time to go to this ethereal place.

Chapter 78 The Five Qi Concept

The meeting lasted for an hour, ranging from strange tales to the national crisis. Their views were somewhat similar. Under the promotion of Boss Liu of Jianghu Xiaozhan, Wanxiangtang, represented by Ji Yuqian, initially established a relatively good relationship with Sanyimen.

As night deepened, Jiang Mo instructed Chengzhen and Lu Jin to arrange rooms for the four guests.

After they left Siming Hall, Jiang Mo opened the wooden box, and as he had guessed, one after another thick, heavy gold bars came into view.

"Senior brother, we have recently spent a lot of our savings on repairing the sect. Please take care of this gold."

Upon hearing his junior brother's instructions, Si Chong dared not delay and quickly responded:

"Alright, the medicinal herbs and food inside the gate are almost used up. I'll have to go down the mountain again in a few days."

"Please get some rest and take care of yourself."

After giving a word of advice, Jiang Mo picked up the old blueprints on the table, left the main hall, and returned to his bedroom.

More than ten red candles burned slowly, their bright light illuminating the entire room.

Jiang Mo sat on the futon, his gaze lowered, and with his right hand pulled open the knotted brown rope, gently unfolding the map containing the secrets of a blessed land.

The rugged mountains, the dense markers, and the winding river were all laid bare before Jiang Mo in an instant.

In the upper right corner of the drawing, there was a line of messy handwriting. It was old, and the ink had faded and blurred. Jiang Mo had to look closely before he could vaguely make out the contents:

"The ancient land of the Soaring Serpent...transformation from mortal to dragon...mysterious blessings...do not miss it..."

A clearly defined red route winds around multiple mountain ranges, leading directly to the ancient land;

In addition, there are some unverified oral accounts, densely written in the blank spaces of the drawings, so crowded that it's almost impossible to breathe.

All of these are records of the strange phenomena that the long snake appeared, such as wind and clouds rising and clouds surging, tornadoes raging, mountains and forests shaking and all beasts retreating.

Until one night hundreds of years ago, a blood-red light shot into the sky, stretching for thousands of miles, accompanied by thunder throughout the night, and since then, there has been no trace of the giant snake.

However, in the divination results of some extraordinary individuals who are proficient in feng shui and numerology, the answer is that they have transformed from ordinary beings into dragons, and their whereabouts are unknown.

After that, many renowned experts in feng shui and feng shui went to search for it, but even if they took the correct route, they could not find the entrance, just like the Peach Blossom Spring of a thousand years ago.

"Snake den...?"

"Located in a damp environment, perpetually without sunlight, it accumulates extremely yin energy, and also contains the fierce energy of snakes, which seeps into the soil and mixes with it..."

"Perhaps there is Nine Fiends Yin Earth..."

Jiang Mo was not interested in the so-called blessed land or the secret of helping the snake transform into a dragon.

On the contrary, what piqued his interest was precisely the 'Nine Fiends Yin Earth' that arose from the combined effects of this unique ancient site and the giant serpent.

This is an extremely cold and thick soil with miraculous effects. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, extraordinary people have used it to forge weapons or to practice martial arts.

For example, the old ghost of Quanxing on Dawang Mountain, whose origins are unknown, has mastered the Yin Five Thunder of Longhu Mountain. Perhaps his ancestors once studied at the Celestial Master's Mansion and received teachings, or perhaps he used other means to capture the memories of the Longhu disciples and thus stole them.

Based on the Yin Five Thunders, he mixed in some Nine Fiends Yin Earth, which greatly increased its power, whether it was to purify the mind and corrupt the will, or to devour the life force of others.

During his exploration of the Three Ones True Method and the Reverse Rebirth Triple, Jiang Mo had a plan to forge a 'Five Qi Dharma Body' using the five elemental substances recorded in the ancient books he had previously read. Perhaps there would be unexpected surprises.

"Ten Thousand Tempered Black Gold..."

"The ancient Jianmu tree..."

"A sea of ​​bitterness and heavy water..."

"Daytime Sunlight Purifies the Fire..."

"Nine Fiends Yin Earth..."

Jiang Mo murmured softly, these are all Five Elements substances that are extremely difficult to find in ancient books, each with incredible effects.

If he truly gathers all five elements one day, he will refine them, rebuild his physical body, and be close to achieving unfettered cultivation in the mortal realm.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Just as Jiang Mo was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door, and a tall, slender voice asked softly through the window paper:

"Uncle-Master, have you gone to bed?"

"No, come in."

The door opened, and Lu Jin walked in lightly, reporting, "I have settled the four distinguished guests in."

"sit."

Jiang Mo patted the prayer mat beside him and asked, "Where is your Senior Brother Chengzhen?"

“My senior brother has gone to meditate and cultivate in seclusion. He is getting into the true Dharma faster than I am.”

Lu Jin sat down, a faint blue aura appearing in his palm, which he showed to Jiang Mo:

"As you can see, this disciple has also begun to refine the Qi of plants."

"it is good...."

Jiang Mo smiled with satisfaction, slowly closed the map, and said, "Do you still remember the method I mentioned before, 'One Qi in the Human World'?"

"This disciple remembers."

"That requires passing through a level of true Dharma before you can practice it. You must cultivate diligently and overcome this hurdle as soon as possible."

Lu Jin nodded slightly and said respectfully, "This disciple will certainly not let down Master Uncle's cultivation."

Seeing his serious expression, which clearly indicated he had something on his mind but hesitated to speak, Jiang Mo chuckled and said, "Alright, why are you here so late at night instead of resting? Just say what you need to say."

"This disciple is ashamed and would like to ask you how you suppressed Wugensheng in the battle at Longhu Mountain?"

Seeing that her secret had been exposed, Lu Jin took the opportunity to ask curiously:

"Although you have explained it to me in general terms before, I have not fully grasped it. If there are other methods to break Qi besides Wugensheng's, how would you, my uncle, deal with it?"

Jiang Mo gave a detailed answer to these two questions: "For those who cultivate, life and health are of utmost importance."

"Your physical body is your life; while your Qi, spirit, and soul are your nature."

"The tempering of my life is strong enough that, regardless of whether he has been amplified by the reverse life state that he tried to break, it does not affect my ability to suppress him with pure power."

"As for your second question, the answer is slightly different. On the basis of cultivating both body and mind, you also need to evolve your cultivation method to its extreme. Since Qi can be broken, it can be reforged. Just like water and fire cannot mix, you will eventually win by quantity."

"Disciple... I roughly understand what Martial Uncle means."

Lu Jin was quick-witted, and with this guidance, the confusion in his mind suddenly cleared up.

"The state of reverse growth is very complex, and the resulting amplification effects are also varied and diverse."

Jiang Mo instructed Lu Jin: "You must cultivate step by step, solidify your foundation, and reap what you sow."

"The difference in the solidity of each stage of the Reverse Rebirth is like heaven and earth. It is not easy for outsiders to use brute force or skills to shake your dantian and thus affect the establishment of the Reverse Rebirth state."

"Alright... This disciple thanks my master for his guidance."

Lu Jin gained a lot and admired his junior uncle even more. His goal was clear: he wanted to reach the third level of the realm and see the vastness of the world.

"Take your time, you're still young and lack experience."

Jiang Mo re-tied the map with string and got up to place the bookcase containing the scriptures.

"By the way, Uncle-Master, I have something else to report."

Lu Jin's voice came again.

"explain."

"My father wrote to me today, mentioning that my great-grandfather's birthday is approaching and he has invited a group of guests. It seems that he has important matters to discuss and asked his disciple to do so. I earnestly request that you join us."

"Hmm? The Lu family... is it Lord Lu's birthday?"

After a long time, Jiang Mo recalled for a moment and pondered, "I vaguely heard my senior brother mention that the Sanyi Sect and the Lu family have a good relationship and often help each other..."

"Since both Lord Lu and your father wish to extend an invitation, then let's go. There are still a few days until your birthday celebration."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin muttered, "There are still three days left, Uncle-Master. Do you want to set off early? I might be able to show you around."

"After the guests from Wanxiang Hall come down the mountain, I will make some preparations and then go with you."

This was Jiang Mo's answer, which immediately put Lu Jin at ease and relieved his expectations.

He was practicing asceticism on the mountain and had not seen his family for a long time, so he missed them very much.

Chapter 79 Invited to a Banquet

The following day, Liu Wei and the others from Wanxiangtang bid farewell to Jiang Mo at dawn and descended the mountain.

After watching them leave, Jiang Mo turned around and spoke to Si Chong and Cheng Zhen beside him:

"Jin'er's family has invited me to their residence as Lord Lu's birthday approaches. You are in charge of all matters within the sect."

"Alright, Uncle-Master."

"Junior brother, don't worry, I'm in good health and can keep an eye on these youngsters."

Jiang Mo looked at the two of them and smiled frankly: "I need to make some preparations before I go. If there is any emergency on the mountain, it will be convenient for you to contact me."

"Oh? Martial Uncle, what is that?"

Upon hearing Chengzhen's question, Jiang Mo feigned mystery and said, "We'll talk about it this evening."

After he finished speaking, his figure vanished in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was in a quiet, deserted pool in the back mountain forest.

Standing on the shore, Jiang Mo activated his profound skill, his white robes and frosty hair making him look like an immortal. He poured out a vast stream of Qi with both hands, which sank into the water and formed a white human figure that became increasingly lifelike, its appearance completely identical to his own.

The process of condensation was not smooth. As the rising sun streaked across the sky and was about to fall onto the mountain, Jiang Mo finally completed the last stroke, shaping the fiery silver figure that resembled him.

This is an advanced application of 'One Qi in the Human World' – the ends of the earth are within reach.

It shares a similar principle with the Fire Escape Technique of the Fire Virtue Sect.

In his early years, when he was traveling around the world, he witnessed an old master of the Fire Virtue Sect using flames and secret techniques to travel thousands of miles back and forth with a flick of his finger. He was very amazed and inspired by this. He asked the master for advice and then developed similar techniques.

"call--!"

With the casting of the Qi complete, Jiang Mo finally felt relieved as he gazed at the sleeping white figure at the bottom of the pool. He then casually crafted two small magical artifacts, took some pebbles from the pool's edge, and infused them with his own innate Qi.

That evening, before Jiang Mo was about to descend the mountain, he handed two silvery-white, smooth, jade-like pebbles to Si Chong and Cheng Zhen.

"Look, if you want to find me, just crush the pebbles."

"Junior brother, what is this?" Si Chong stared wide-eyed, completely baffled.

Jiang Mo smiled and explained its structure and uses to the two of them.

"It's so miraculous! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!!!"
