Chapter 108: Incapable of doing anything else
Another month.

That evening, Cheng Xinzhan came to Chunyang Palace.

Although the master has returned, he first went to the grandmaster for this matter, so naturally he couldn't bother multiple people for the same matter.

"Master."

He sat opposite Taoist Master Tongxuan.

When Taoist Master Tongxuan saw that the pupil of his left eye had turned red, like the rising sun, he knew that he had opened up the Yang Palace and mastered the "Nine Yang Returning Dan Pupil".

"Are you all ready?"

Taoist Master Tongxuan said.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and took out the lead bottle given by the owner of Huanzhu Tower in Baiyujing. Inside was the "Yangming Yuntang Gang".

Taoist Master Tongxuan took it, opened the bottle stopper, and poured out the Ganglu.

The Ganglu was like milk, surging in the air. Under the gaze of the two, it suddenly turned into a mirage dragon. When Cheng Xinzhan got closer to look, it suddenly turned into a small cloud. Looking carefully, there was a miniature street market on the cloud. Before he could see clearly, it turned into milk-like dew again.

"It's the 'Yangming Yuntang Gang'. This Gang must be the mirage clouds spit out by the mirage dragon. When the mirage is formed on the top of the cloud, it happens to be at noon and is exposed to the sun. Only when the mirage clouds of a hundred miles are refined by the sun can one ounce of Gang Dew be produced. You have half a ounce, which is really a lot."

Taoist Master Tongxuan said with a smile.

Cheng Xinzhan was very surprised. He had never taken out the Ganglu since he got it, and he didn't know it had such an origin and changes.

“People who have refined this energy are as light as a swallow. They don’t need to use any magic power or external force. They can fly freely with just a thought, like smoke or clouds.

"If you refine this energy into cloud roots in the Cloud Residence, you can spit out bright mirage clouds, which are very useful for confusing and trapping enemies. You have half a liang here. If you use it to refine a flying sword, it will be consumable. Putting a small half in the Yang Palace is enough, otherwise it would be a bit of a waste. The rest can be kept for refining in the Twelve-Story Building to transform into cloud roots."

Cheng Xinzhan said yes, he never thought that "Yangming Yuntang Gang" had such a wonderful use.

"This magic can be paired with the Cold Owl Yin Wind Evil. Once the Yang Cloud and Yin Wind meet, they can form a rain pill. The clouds confuse the eyes, and the wind confuses the ears. It also has extraordinary illusion abilities."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, but did not take it too seriously. Considering his practice of the Five Elements, this kind of golden elixir was too biased and not suitable for him.

"In fact, the biggest difficulty in drawing the evil spirit into the body is the pain. But since you have experienced the true evil spirit rushing into the acupoints, the pain should not be a problem."

Taoist Master Tongxuan only used a small amount of the Ganglu, and put the rest back into the lead bottle and returned it to Cheng Xinzhan.

"Gangsha is a rare spiritual creature in the world. It is the result of the innate yin and yang energy on the acquired creation. Humans are acquired spirits. When they encounter such a spiritual creature contaminated with innate energy, they will naturally feel uncomfortable. You should know this best."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded. It is said that it is uncomfortable to have something stuck in the throat. If there is a Gangsha in the body, the pain will be magnified thousands of times.

“However, in order to comprehend this spiritual object that contains the energy of yin and yang, our ancestors thought of many ways. It is said that there is always something that can defeat something else in the world. But our ancestors went through countless attempts and lost countless lives before they figured out that the object that can defeat Gangsha is lead and mercury.

"I don't know how many years it has gone by, with generations of improvements and innovations, before we have the most reliable method of swallowing the energy and eating the evil. Now, I will teach you."

Patriarch Tongxuan spoke slowly and Cheng Xinzhan listened attentively.

“Lead is stable while mercury is agile, so mercury water is often used to refine a flying net to capture the evil spirits, in order to subdue them. When storing the evil spirits, lead utensils are often used.

"Lead is hot, and mercury is cold. When taking lead and mercury, you must consider the nature of the evil spirit you want to refine. When using lead and mercury to suppress the evil spirit, you must also consider the harmony of yin and yang. For example, the "Yangming Yuntang Gang" in your hand is of the nature of the scorching sun, so it must be harmonized with cold mercury. The "Purple Fire Rotten Peach Evil" you had before, although it has the word "fire" in it, it is the ghost fire under the ground, and it also has the word "rotten", which is the air of decay. In the final analysis, it is a cold and yin thing, so it should be paired with hot lead when refining it."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded repeatedly as he listened. It turned out that there were so many details involved. He thought he could just use the lead bottle containing the Ganglu.

Master Tongxuan saw that his young disciple didn't have mercury and gold, and was at a loss, so he smiled and said,
"Since you have prepared the Yang Gang, I will give you another portion of Fei Mercury."

The master turned his hand over, and a drop of suspended mercury appeared in his palm, which he handed to Cheng Xinzhan.

He stretched out his hand to take it. Lead and mercury can not only subdue evil spirits, but are also rare treasures for refining elixirs and refining qi. They are very popular treasures in the mountains. He once had a piece of flying mercury, which was also given by Huanzhu Tower Master. It was called "Liushuang Flying Mercury". Huanzhu Tower Master said that it could enhance the flexibility of "Qiu Shui", so he fed it all to "Qiu Shui".

Now that I think about it, there is no need to feed it all to "Qiu Shui". It is just right to keep some for myself for now.

Just like this "Yangming Yuntang Gang", if the ancestor hadn't reminded him, he would have used it all to refine "Taodu".

I don't have much money, so I tend to spend things lavishly. I have to change this habit in the future.

"The mercury liquid will fly when it meets fire. After entering the mouth, you will immediately raise a stream of fire magic power from the twelfth floor, which will collide with the mercury liquid. The mercury liquid will turn into flying flowers when it meets fire. It will not go down the twelfth floor, but will directly go through the Sibai-Chengqi acupoint and enter the left eye Yang Palace."

Master Tongxuan said.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, opened his mouth and drank the mercury bead.

The mercury bead felt like a piece of ice when it entered his mouth, and the cold air immediately froze his mouth into white frost. Cheng Xinzhan felt like his teeth were about to fall out, but he immediately mobilized a burst of fire magic power and rushed up from the twelfth floor.

When the cold mercury meets the fire magic power, it immediately turns into flying flowers, which cannot be seen or touched. However, if you look at it in the inner world, it is a white cold fog.

Just like circulating Qi, he used his thoughts to guide the cold mist, going directly from the mouth into the Sibai acupoint, then into the Chengqi acupoint, and finally into the Yangdian acupoint.

After Cheng Xinzhan opened up the Yang Palace, there was a bright empty space here, which was very similar to the feeling when he first entered the cave stone with his mind. It was bright everywhere, and there was no visible boundary.

"Taodu" is in this empty space, flying here like a weaving shuttle.

Although there is no Yang Fire yet, the Yang Palace is naturally endowed with the nature of the sun, and placing "Taodu" here is also an excellent place for nurturing.

In this empty cavity, there is also a crimson fireball. This is a manifestation of his practice of the "Nine Yang Returning Dan Pupil". When there are nine fireballs, his pupil technique will be perfected.

The cold fog entered the Yang Palace and was illuminated by the fireballs and the "Taodu" and flew everywhere, remaining in the form of cold fog and unable to condense into dew drops.

He felt the left side of his face frozen.

"Now, follow the same route of Qi flow. After drinking the Qi dew, you must close your throat tightly, lock the Twelve Layers, and force the Qi to follow the same route that the mercury just took. You must quickly guide the Qi into the Yang Palace."

He nodded and took the Ganglu.

The moment the dew entered his mouth, it turned into a ball of turbulent qi, no longer as gentle as clouds and milk. The qi raged in his mouth, but his mouth was now filled with the frost left by the mercury. The fierce qi retreated as soon as it touched the mercury frost, and could not go down the throat, so it had to follow the only passage to enter the Sibai and Chengqi acupoints, but the inner walls of the meridians and acupoints along the way were covered with frost, so the qi could only shrink into a bundle and continue to move forward along the path left by the mercury.

After entering the Yang Palace, the space suddenly opened up, and the strong energy was about to disperse, but Mercury Hua, who was forced into nowhere to stay in the Yang Palace by Danyang, pounced on him suddenly like the third sister who smelled the scent of roasted loach.

The mercury aura tightly wrapped the internal energy, not a single bit of it leaked out.

It's true that one thing brings down another thing.

"Taodu" also flew over to look, circling around the mercury flower, as if wanting to see what was inside.

Having said that, the whole journey of the Gang Qi, even with such a small amount of Gang Lu, even with such a short luck route, even with the protection of the mercury flower, but the tingling and swelling feeling still made Cheng Xinzhan feel very uncomfortable.

But it's just uncomfortable, compared with the pain of the real evil acupoint.

"From now on, you will control the cold mercury to slowly release the qi bit by bit, and then use your magic power to refine it bit by bit, smooth out its fierceness, and comprehend the magic within. At present, the most important thing is to comprehend the 'yang' within it.

Judging from the amount of energy you swallowed today, it will take at least several months to refine it before you can use it freely. Only then can you transform the energy into fire and refine your flying sword. And when you swallow the energy to form a pill, the time it takes to refine that amount will be ten years."

Master Tongxuan smiled when he saw that Cheng Xinzhan swallowed the Ganglu very smoothly.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded in agreement.

At this time, Master Tongxuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed out loud.

"I wonder why the master is laughing?"

Cheng Xinzhan was puzzled.

"I just suddenly thought, you proposed to use Yang Gang as fire and Yang Palace as furnace to refine the flying sword. If one day, you can gather 18 Yang Gang and 36 Yang Sha to refine the flying sword, what quality will this flying sword reach in the end? A spiritual treasure?

In the same way, if you gather all eighteen Yin Gangs and thirty-six Yin Shas, and refine the flying sword in the Yin Palace, when Yin and Yang come out together, what kind of power will it be?"

Patriarch Tongxuan laughed as he spoke, "Throughout the ages, I have never heard of anyone who has gathered all 36 Heavenly Gangs and 72 Earthly Fiends. Don't take it seriously, Xinzhan, just treat it as nonsense from an old man. However, haha, if you can have the opportunity to obtain two handfuls of Yang-attributed Gangs to temper your flying sword, I think what comes out in the end should be an extremely rare treasure."

Cheng Xinzhan's eyes sparkled after hearing this.

"If you want to understand the lead and mercury evil, you must make the elixir. The exquisite changes of the golden man and the beautiful woman are all written in the elixir book, which can be said to be very mysterious."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled bitterly and nodded. There were more and more things to learn, and he felt that one incarnation was not enough.

Today, the process of drawing the Qi into his body went much more smoothly than he had imagined. After bidding farewell to his master, he returned to Meiji Mountain.

When he passed by the small pond, he took a look and saw that there was not a single sea loach in the pond, only some shells still attached to the rocks.

The Nine-Hole Dust-Free Lotus is, after all, a spiritual seed. After it was planted, it would not be affected by anything, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, or by the water in a lake or sea. Now the spiritual seed has just grown a green leaf, and no one knows when it will bloom.

Cheng Xinzhan now deeply feels that one incarnation is not enough, not because of fighting, not because of concealing one's identity, but simply because there are too many things to learn.

While waiting for the flower to bloom, he will refine the flower into a new incarnation. It does not need to be as divine as the bamboo body, but as long as it can give him an idea and allow him to learn something new.

After entering Wuyou Cave, the most eye-catching thing is the huge screen wall placed in the middle, which is the "True Shape Map of the Five Mountains".

Contemplating the shape of Mount Tai can make one feel at peace and prolong life, allowing one to live a long life.

Contemplating the shape of Mount Nanyue can protect people from the five evils and help them sense malicious intentions.

Visualizing the shape of Mount Zhongyue can help one stand firm and take root in the ground.

Visualizing the shape of Mount Xiyue can make one adept at controlling the five kinds of weapons and keep one from being hurt by blades.

Contemplating the shape of Mount Beiyue can eliminate all poisons and allow people to enjoy long-lasting happiness and prosperity.

Cheng Xinzhan had been meditating for a month, and now he could see the Dharma essence between his walking and sitting, like a mountain. Especially when he was refining in the Alchemy Cave of the Weaponry Academy, Jiang Weishan had been praising Cheng Xinzhan for his calmness and peace of mind, and for his master's bearing. He was born to be suitable for refining weapons and alchemy, but alchemy was too boring, so he suggested that he transfer to the Weaponry Academy to refine weapons.

The most direct benefit that visualizing the "True Shape Map of the Five Mountains" brought to Cheng Xinzhan was that the power of the "Zhen" spell had made an astonishing improvement. When he cast the "Zhen" spell now, even the green dragon Gu Qin had to stay in the lake to resist it. If he played in the air, he would be knocked down by the "Zhen" spell.

Opposite the screen wall is his desk, next to which hangs a scroll, which is "Prince Bingling Goes to Sea to Inspect the Pictures of the Gods of the Three Mountains".

The picture still shows Prince Bingling examining the gods of the Three Mountains. But if you look closely, you can find that this picture is more similar to the one Wen Sukong took out in appearance, but is much different in spirit and meaning.

He drew this himself.

The visualization picture given by the master has become a blank sheet of paper. When he entered for the first time, he visualized Prince Bingling, and after he received the divine will, the prince's figure disappeared. Later, he entered the painting several times and observed the three mountains, and then even the shadows of the mountains disappeared.

This month, the papers he had copied from these two scrolls have filled up his desk.

He sat down, cleared a space on the table, and continued to take out papers. He looked at the screen wall for a while, then wrote and drew. However, if you look closely, what was written on the paper was not the majestic Five Mountains, but a talisman.

He was not simply copying, but drawing talismans on the mountain.

He observed the true form, but understood the meaning of the Dharma, and what he wrote became a talisman.

He has already gained some understanding of this "Map of the True Shapes of the Five Mountains" and will be able to return it to his master in three to five days at the latest. He has already understood the meaning of the Dharma, and the next step is to put it into practice.

Moreover, the Five Mountains are so majestic that they connect the sky and the earth. When viewed from the front, they look like ridges, and from the side, they look like peaks. A mere painting of "The True Shape of the Five Mountains" could only allow him to glimpse a corner of the divine will of the Five Mountains.

In comparison, the real Meiji Mountain enabled him to better understand the meaning of Wu Earth Dharma, and his magic power was slowly accumulating in his body in preparation for opening his own palace.

Without noticing, he found that day was about to dawn again. There was something he had been putting off for a long time. He could not put it off any longer today, so he took out an envelope from the cave stone, took out a piece of paper from it, spread it on the table, and wrote with a talisman pen:

"Seeing your letter is like meeting you in person. Reading your letter makes you happy."

I want to ask if Eleventh Lady is doing well. I am so busy with the affairs in the mountains that I have no time to spare and put pen to paper...'
