Chapter 218: Playing with Yin and Yang, turning the tide

At this moment, the person sitting in Xuanyang Cave is Cheng Xinzhan's physical body, with the Taiguang soul in the body.

All along, the ones who studied and practiced in Wuyou Cave were Cheng Xinzhan's bamboo body and Jushuangling's soul.

For him, the incarnation is a body, a weapon, a magic weapon, and the clothes that his soul wears when traveling. It is very convenient, but it can never replace the real body.

He now has two incarnations. One is the incarnation of a seven-section, seven-hole bamboo staff, which is also his most precious and most used incarnation. There is a soul living in it all year round, and this body likes wood.

The other is the incarnation of the Nine-Hole Dust-Free Lotus, which was created not long ago and this body likes water.

He is currently cultivating his third incarnation, an incarnation that loves fire.

At this time, if you look closely into the stove, you will find that it is not empty.

The golden sun fire was burning quietly in the furnace, and above the fire, a blood-red lotus was floating.

This is the third incarnation that Cheng Xinzhan wants to cultivate.

This "Floating Life Burning Fire Lotus" has always been used by the mandrill as a talisman to suppress corpse qi. Ever since he brought it back to the mountain, he has been roasting it with the sun's fire to remove the rotten smell of corpse qi. After nearly a month, it has finally been completely cleaned up.

It’s still the same old saying, “Oranges grow in the south of the Huai River, while tangerines grow in the north of the Huai River, it’s because of the different water and soil.”

At this moment, after being cleansed by the Yang Fire, the Fire Lotus was like being reborn from the fire, emitting a bright and brilliant light. The lotus petals sometimes closed and sometimes opened, as if there was a breeze blowing, or as if it was the beating of a heart, and there was also a sweet and intoxicating fragrance floating in the air.

Zhushen put down the gourd, the bottle and the two golden pills, turned around and left, returning to Wuyou Cave. He had other things to do.

The physical body opened its eyes and took the two treasures and two pills.

There is naturally a reason for Cheng Xinzhan's arrangement.

The bamboo body likes quietness and peace, which is in perfect harmony with the refreshing spirit, so it is placed in the Worry-Free Cave for reading and practicing.

The physical body is affected by the thunder, and the acupoints are blocked. They need to be unblocked as soon as possible, so it should be placed in a yang place to allow the thunder and fire to converge and rejuvenate the body.

Then the subsequent refining of the incarnation, treasure and elixir will naturally be done by the master himself.

He first gave the two treasures and two pills to the two boys, asking them to refine the evil spirits and filth on the objects before disposing of them in the poison-swallowing cauldron. The two boys had been with him for a long time, and were good at wind and fire respectively, so they had no problem handling these small matters.

Afterwards, he began to refine the Fire Lotus Incarnation himself.

With his previous experience in refining the water lotus incarnation, this was not difficult for him, but he should not take it lightly either.

Refining an incarnation is similar to refining elixirs and tools, which involves manipulating yin and yang to mediate the creation, and is also about understanding the truth, practicing the law, and cultivating. However, refining an incarnation is a little special, because it is about refining a human body, which can better touch upon the inner elixir and access the life treasure.

He pinched his hands together and transferred the fire magic power in his body into the lotus. The lotus was nourished, and snow-white roots slowly grew under the base of the lotus.

These new roots fluttered in the air, like willow branches made of silver threads and jade ribbons. They were obviously different from the flesh whiskers that had grown when the evil corpse was suppressed in the hands of the mandrill.

This process continues into the night.

The snow-white light shines into the cave and sprinkles on the roots, making them look even purer and cleaner.

Under Cheng Xinzhan's control, these roots grew and intertwined, slowly outlining the shape of human bones and meridians, which was quite magical.

Then he took out a jade bottle from the cave stone. With a slight movement of his finger, the stopper opened automatically, and a stream of snow-white jade sand flew out into the furnace.

This is the "Xuanming Bingyi Jade Marrow", which he dug out from the snow-capped mountains when he traveled to the northern border. It is extremely suitable for shaping bones and creating scriptures.

At the same time, he manipulated the furnace fire, changing the Sun Bing Fire into the Six Ding Divine Fire, and blew it slowly with the Xun wind, drawing and adding it in moderation, so that the fire was as long as breathing. The flying sand of "Xuanming Bingyi Yucui" attached to the roots, and slowly seeped into the roots under the burning of the furnace fire. At the same time, the flying sand also changed the color of the fire, and it became blue-white like an icy soul.

When the moon was at its zenith, at the time of Zi and Chou, he sacrificed the Star-Moon Liuyu again. This magical instrument was bought from the stall of Dongtian Dao when he was in the first realm. Its initial grade was relatively low, but Cheng Xinzhan had been using it to absorb the moonlight and constantly nourishing it with magic power to fill the spiritual restrictions, so its grade was slowly rising and he could still use it until now.

He placed the Star and Moon Bowl high in the air outside the cave, and then moonlight and star dew slowly accumulated in the bowl, which he then took out and melted into his roots.
This is:
"The crescent moon is the cauldron, and the white tiger is the boiling point."

In this way, the roots were stimulated during the day and the bones were shaped at night, and in the blink of an eye, thirty-six days had passed.

Looking at the lotus roots at this time, they are already complete, with meridians like a net, emitting jade light.

On the thirty-seventh day, the furnace fire returned to yang, and it turned from gentle to martial, and burned vigorously. The lotus flowers fell off one after another and were taken out by Cheng Xinzhan and placed aside, and then the lotus pods continued to be burned with yang fire.

After nine days of smelting, the blood-colored lotus pod slowly dissolved and dripped onto the roots and jade bones like blood.

At this time, he took out a jade box, which contained a red ointment. This thing was called "Chimingli Jade Ointment". It was a gift given to him by Taoist Cunsi when he visited Siming Mountain before. It was a specialty grown in the Chishui of Danshan in Siming Mountain and was a good medicine for nourishing blood and flesh.

The fire in the furnace now turned to Wen Yang, and he threw the red jade paste into the furnace. Under the roasting of the fire, it slowly merged with the blood dew transformed from the lotus pod and attached to the root jade bones.

At noon, he took out another precious mirror.

This precious mirror was the ceremonial magic weapon bestowed upon him by Master Jia Wanfa Shi Zongli. In addition to the robe and ruyi, he also had a tablet, a wake-up bell, and this precious mirror.

This is an unusual square mirror, and it is quite large, like a vertical plaque, nine feet nine inches long and three feet six inches wide. The mirror surface is made of purple copper, and the edge of the mirror is cast with six kinds of gold and silver. The back of the mirror is inlaid with a basalt disk button, called,
"The Yaolingtongming Qianyuan Baojian".

Now, he performed this sacrifice externally, gathering the light of the sun like a pillar of fire, shining it directly on the flesh and blood that had been transformed from the lotus pod. During this process, the flesh and blood slowly surged and gradually took on a human shape.

This is:
"A red mirror hangs in the alchemy room, and a fire dragon melts blood essence." Twenty-seven days passed like this, and when Cheng Xinzhan opened the lid of the furnace, the fire lotus incarnation had already taken shape.

However, this incarnation now only has an outer appearance but no inner spiritual power.

Cheng Xinzhan placed the incarnation opposite him, sat cross-legged, and summoned the lotus that had just fallen off.

The lotus has sixteen petals, so he used the lotus as paper and cut his blood as ink. He manipulated yin and yang with his fingers, drew talismans, and added acupoints.

Another whole month passed like this, and as one talisman after another was injected into the incarnation, the three palaces, five internal organs, and seven orifices became complete one by one, and the incarnation became more and more perfect and spiritual.

When the cicadas on Meiji Mountain chirped louder and louder in the hot summer, Cheng Xinzhan finished his last spell.
"Look at the sky with your left eye, and the azure sky will open up, the sun will shine brightly, and the delusion will be broken and the truth will be revealed! Look at the earth with your right eye, and the underworld will appear, the moon will shine brightly, and the netherworld will reveal its traces!"

The fire lotus incarnation suddenly opened his eyes!
Become!

It was a hot summer day. Despite the special terrain of Tianqiao Mountain and the dark clouds covering it, it was still pitch dark inside. However, the sky was still the sky and could not be completely isolated by artificial formations. Therefore, there was still a sense of dryness in the gloomy Tianqiao Mountain.

However, this dryness may not only be due to the summer season. After all, there has not been a single quiet day in Tianshao Mountain in the past three months.

Three months ago, the elders of the Wooden Temple took the lead in making trouble, saying that the temple owner Li Xiahuai received a request for help from the Earth Temple owner Tian Xiu'e, so he left the mountain gate in a hurry. He never came back and wanted to ask the Earth Temple for an explanation.

The owner of the Earth Temple had been away for more than ten years and there had been no news. Suddenly, the message for help did not come to his own temple, but instead to the Wood Temple, which resulted in the owner of the Wood Temple never returning. How could the Earth Temple possibly recognize him? They thought the Wood Temple was talking nonsense.

However, at this time, the elders of the Fire Temple also expressed surprise, saying that on the same day, their temple master also went out and did not come back!

After hearing what the Wood and Fire Temples said, the Water Temple also panicked, as they couldn't contact their own temple master!
So the three temples of water, fire and wood immediately stood together and asked the earth temple to give an explanation.

What explanation can the Tu Temple give? It directly threatened that someone might have developed bad intentions after seeing that their temple master had survived the tribulation for many years and had not returned, so they were looking for an excuse!
The three temples were naturally furious. They really couldn't contact their own temple master and were already panicking. When they saw that the earth temple was still making excuses and mocking them, they almost started a fight on the spot.

Tianqiao Mountain is a damp place, but the situation is like a pile of dry firewood that can be ignited at any time.

However, just a few days later, the wounded master of the Fire Temple returned to the mountain, and without saying a word, he went straight to the Earth Temple. With the power of the drought demon, he killed the chief elder of the Earth Temple on the spot!
Tie Pofeng, the master of the Golden Temple, who had also been feeling uneasy for a few days, was shocked and hurried forward to ask what had happened. Even though a fight between the same family had happened before in the history of Tianshao Mountain, it was indeed rare.

The master of the Fire Temple was furious and said that Tian Xiu'e had colluded with outsiders to set a trap for him and kill him, and he had to use all his magic weapons to fight his way out and escape with his life!

Tie Pofeng of the Golden Temple asked why, and the master of the Fire Temple said hatefully that Tian Xiu'e had found helpers from somewhere and wanted to cooperate with inside and outside to seize the position of the master of Tianqiao Mountain and become the first female master of Tianqiao Mountain in history.

Before that, of course, all the temple masters had to be recaptured. Tian Xiu'e said that if she was willing to sacrifice her soul and be planted with the corpse slave seal, she could save her life.

But how could I agree? !
At this point, the master of the Fire Temple hurriedly advised Tie Pofeng not to leave the mountain gate!
Tie Pofeng naturally nodded hurriedly, while Shuimiao and Mumiao were shocked when they heard this, and even asked if they had ever seen the master of their own temple.
The master of the Fire Temple immediately expressed his grief that although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Tian Xiu'e clearly used Xue Linglong and Li Xiahuai's personal magic weapons when she took action!

Naturally, this statement was shocking. The elite troops from the Water, Fire, and Wood Temples came out and surrounded the Earth Temple.

At this time, not to mention Tie Pofeng, even Tu Miao himself believed it, because their own temple master had indeed said privately many times that he was determined to become the mountain master. They just complained in their hearts that if their own temple master wanted to do something big, why didn't he explain it to his subordinates in advance?

The Lord of the Fire Temple was furious and no one could stop him. He immediately dispatched his subordinates to attack the Earth Temple together. The Water Temple and the Wood Temple naturally also attacked the Earth Temple in the name of revenge.

Seeing that people from the three temples had already broken into the treasury and corpse cellar of the Earth Temple, the Golden Temple could no longer sit still. At a command from Tie Pofeng, the four temples attacked the Earth Temple together. With two temple masters controlling the evil corpses that guarded the temples, they took over the Earth Temple with ease that very day.

As for those people in the earth temple, those who were willing to surrender would surrender, and those who were unwilling to surrender would be used to refine corpses, and their broken bodies would be used to refine weapons. In short, there was no waste at all.

Then they divided the spoils on the spot.

The head of the Fire Temple generously proposed that although Tianjiao Mountain had been passed down for thousands of years, there had been internal strife before, but the Five Temples and Five Veins had been passed down. Among the Five Elements, earth gave birth to gold, and the two were friendly, so the Gold Temple was responsible for rebuilding the Earth Temple heritage, and the inheritance items of the Earth Temple in the treasury should be collected by the Gold Temple.

Tie Pofeng quickly took the treasure, patted his chest loudly, and said that he would never let the Tu Temple's inheritance be cut off.

As for the rest of the treasures, the Lord of the Fire Temple also suggested that the Water Temple and the Wood Temple take more. After all, the two temple masters were most likely killed, and the two temples were leaderless, so they had to take more resources. After taking the resources, the elders of the two temples had to speed up their corpse refining practice and introduce new temple masters as soon as possible.

The master of the Golden Temple was a little unhappy after hearing this, but there were many people present and he had already taken the most important inherited treasure, so he didn't want to be greedy and agreed reluctantly.

The Water Temple and the Wooden Temple were naturally moved to tears of gratitude after hearing this.

After the spoils were divided, the Fire Temple Master, who had worked hard but suffered losses, immediately proposed that the five temples should work together to change the mountain protection formation to prevent Tian Xiu'e and her men from invading!
So we were busy for another month changing the formation.

During this month, Tianqiao Mountain was closed, Tian Xiu'e did not rush in, and outsiders did not know that such a big change had taken place in Tianqiao Mountain.

Not long after the formation was modified, the mountain finally seemed a little more stable.

However, secretly, there was a turbulent current. The elders in the Water Temple and the Wood Temple who had the hope of being promoted to temple masters all came to find Cheng Xinzhan privately. Their openings were even the same, naturally, to thank the Fire Temple for taking care of them when they broke into the Earth Temple and divided the spoils.

Cheng Xinzhan's replies were all the same, he didn't even bother to change a single word. What he said was that there was no corpse in the Fire Temple, and it was the two temples that helped in conquering Longbo Village. How could he have forgotten?
After a few greetings at the beginning, everyone came with the same purpose, which was to ask Cheng Xinzhan for his opinion on the competition for the position of temple owner.

Cheng Xinzhan naturally declined, saying that this was an internal matter between the two temples. He had destroyed the Tu Temple on impulse that day and already felt regretful. If he were to interfere in the selection of the masters of the two temples now, he would not know what his intentions were if the news got out!
Therefore, these elders who came to the temple were both helpless and happy, but it was better not to interfere. Just look at the newly established earth temple, the owner of the temple is the apprentice of Tie Pofeng from the Golden Temple, and he doesn't even want to act.

However, as a result, the open and covert fighting within the Shuimu Temple became more and more fierce, and even resulted in loss of life. It was Cheng Xinzhan who stepped in to suppress the many fights.

Tianshao Mountain arrived at the beginning of summer in such a commotion.

Just when things were getting boring, a rumor quietly spread in Tianjiao Mountain:
The Fire Temple's master, Shan Xingwei, has extraordinary magical powers, handles affairs properly, and is able to convince people. He should be made the mountain master.
