Pure Yang!

Chapter 8: The Three Corpses Taoist, Zhenwu Sect Leader

In the evening, a lone moon hangs high in the sky.

The nights in the mountains are cool, and the clouds change like the sea, shading the ups and downs of the mountains.

VIP Building, Room 2013.

"We'll be going down the mountain tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Li Yishan yawned and lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone. He caught a glimpse of Zhang Fan out of the corner of his eye and found that he had stood up and picked up the trekking pole.

"Are you going out?"

"We'll be going down the mountain tomorrow. Go out for a walk, otherwise it would be a shame to pay 280 yuan for the ticket."

Zhang Fan said this casually, but Jiang Lai's figure appeared in his mind.

The light and shadow of that night were like a dream, which made him unforgettable. If he didn't go to Nanxuan Palace to find out the truth before going down the mountain, he would feel uneasy.

"Don't go too far. I heard there are bears on Zhenwu Mountain." Li Yishan warned.

thump...

Following the sound of a door closing, Zhang Fan, leaning on his trekking pole, walked down the mountain alone in the direction of [Nanxuan Palace].

The mountains were cold and dark, without even a hint of light. We could only travel by moonlight, and occasionally we could hear the chirping of insects and birds in the distance.

This kind of atmosphere is both quiet and ethereal, and it also makes people recall the past.

"My physical strength has improved?"

After walking on the mountain road for an hour, Zhang Fan didn't feel tired at all. He walked as fast as if he was walking on flat ground without even breathing heavily.

At the beginning, when they went up the mountain, he and Li Yishan would walk for ten minutes and then rest for ten minutes.

"Um!?"

At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly stopped and looked up, and saw a group of palaces rising and falling under the dim moonlight, hidden in the hazy night.

"Are we there yet?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and took out his cell phone to check the time.

When they first climbed the mountain, it took them three and a half hours to get there, but now it only takes about an hour.

Just as Zhang Fan was wondering, a faint light of fire in the distant mountains and forests attracted his attention.

"Is there someone!?"

Zhang Fan's heart moved slightly, and he approached cautiously.

In the forest, a bonfire was burning, and next to it stood a warning sign that read "Prevent wildfires, strictly prohibit fires"...

There were two men sitting next to the campfire. They were the brothers Qian Shengwu and Qian Shaokun who booked the entire hotel on the Golden Summit.

"It's them?"

"Brother, tonight is the time for the Zhenwu Mountain Jade Certificate to be passed down... When do we start?"

At this moment, Qian Shaokun spoke.

"Don't be anxious... This opportunity is rare, you must be sure before you take action... After all, this is Zhenwu Mountain, there are many masters..." Qian Shengwu said in a deep voice.

"If we can bring back the [Nan Chong], our Diannan Qian family will surely shine..."

"My brother, is this [Nan Chong] really that powerful?" Qian Shaokun couldn't help but ask.

The Qian family in southern Yunnan has inherited the art of insect poisoning, which has a history dating back thousands of years.

Even so, [Nan Chong] is considered the best among the many insect poisons collected by the Qian family, and its legend is passed down by word of mouth among the disciples of the clan.

“You don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is…” Qian Shengwu pushed his glasses away, and in the flickering firelight, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his cold eyes.

"Do you know the origin of [Difficult Insect]?"

Qian Shaokun was stunned, then shook his head.

"More than eighty years ago, a strange man appeared in the Taoist world, named Sanshi Taoist..." Qian Shengwu suddenly changed the subject.

"This man is both good and evil. No one knows his origins. However, his realm of cultivation can be said to be the best in the world... My great grandfather said before he passed away that meeting this man was like a mayfly meeting the sky..."

"With that level of cultivation, it is very likely that one will surpass the Pure Yang Infinite Realm."

As soon as these words came out, Qian Shaokun's expression changed instantly.

The realm of pure yang and infinity is the realm of the real person. Such existence is extremely rare in the world. Above this...

Three flowers gather at the top of the head, five qi return to the origin...

“Isn’t that the Three-Five Change? Is there anyone in the world today who can cultivate to this level?” Qian Shaokun was a little unconvinced.

After crossing the three-five changes, one becomes a land immortal. That is a figure like the Pure Yang Patriarch. Nowadays, one can only glimpse the demeanor of such figures in ancient books on alchemy.

"The Taoist Sanshi is extremely mysterious. In the past, he traveled around the world and once visited my Qian family, thus forming a relationship between us. Before leaving, he left behind three pieces of secret magic..." Qian Shengwu's tone became heavy.

That is the supreme secret of the Qian family in southern Yunnan.

"Those three secret methods are the methods of refining three kinds of ancient insects, namely [Evil Insect], [Desire Insect], and [Difficult Insect]..."

"Lust insects too?" Qian Shaokun's face suddenly changed.

The lust insect is one of the five ancestral insects worshipped by the Qian family.

You must know that those who practice Taoism should avoid desires the most.

Therefore, since ancient times, many seekers of truth have to retreat into the mountains, stay away from the worldly world, and cut off all desires in order to achieve success in their practice.

The books on alchemy all say that one should firmly capture the will and lock up the monkey heart, and then slowly refine the lead and mercury. The great way teaches people to stop thinking first, and if the thoughts do not stop, it is useless.

Only when desires are eliminated can one achieve success in spiritual practice. Otherwise, if a practitioner develops desires, even if he has practiced for a thousand years, he will be ruined in a day.

Therefore, the desire worm is the nemesis of practitioners and is extremely terrifying.

“Back then, our Qian family spent countless efforts to refine the [Desire Worm] and the [Difficult Worm]…” Qian Shengwu said in a deep voice: “When the Difficult Worm was first born, it showed its mystical power, and it could extract the most difficult and difficult things to make a great medicine…”

The practice of Taoism mainly revolves around the four words "planting, gathering, nurturing and refining".

The so-called planting of medicine means sowing a seed first, which is the real seed.

This seed is the primordial spirit, hidden in the tiny space of the ancestral orifice, which is between the eyes.

After the initial movement, observing the soul is equivalent to planting the seed.

The next step is to collect herbs and cultivate them.

All things in nature, both internal and external, can be transformed into medicine and replenished.

For example, when animals in the mountains look at the moon, the medicine they collect is the moonlight.

In fact, there are also the essence of the sun and the moon in the human body. The fire of the heart is the sun, and the water of the kidneys is the moon. Taking the moon soul into the sun soul is like lead and mercury mixing, and taking Kan to fill Li. The beauty lies in the reversal.

According to the different inheritance of each family's method, the types and tricks of collecting herbs are also different.

For example, the extremely mysterious [Yinshan Sect] in Taoism specializes in cultivating Taiyin. When it reaches the highest level, Taiyin turns into pure Yang. The medicines they collect are mostly the qi of corpses.

“The insect not only eats disasters, but can also bring disasters… In this world, the thing that is most lacking is suffering…” Qian Shaokun couldn’t help but sigh.

"Back then, Third Grandfather led the [Nan Chong] all the way north from southern Yunnan, sweeping across the land without any defeat, but he just happened to run into his nemesis."

Speaking of this, Qian Shengwu couldn't help but sigh.

"Who?" Qian Shaokun couldn't help but ask.

Their third grandfather was the most senior person in the Qian family. It was said that he was extremely talented and was the best in the Qian family. He was regarded as the one with the greatest hope of refining the [Evil Bug]. However, because of a fight with someone, he lost his eyes and legs. From then on, he lived in seclusion and did not care about worldly affairs.

"Chu Chaoran!"

"Chu...Master Chu? The head of Zhenwu Mountain?" Qian Shaokun's expression changed slightly.

He is a recognized master in Taoism throughout the world today. The outside world speculates that Chu Chaoran should have already touched the realm of Pure Yang Wuji and is a living immortal in this world.

"Back then, Chu Chaoran suddenly left the mountain gate, and he was very arrogant. When he met Third Grandfather, he saw that he was driving the Difficult Insect and was rampant. So he used the Taoist magic to destroy it and suppressed the Difficult Insect in the Demon-Subduing Well of Qingwei Palace in Zhenwu Mountain..."

"Taoist magical powers... worthy of being Master Chu." Qian Shaokun couldn't help but sigh.

The magical powers of Taoism cannot be compared with ordinary techniques. They are natural and cannot be acquired through practice. The opportunities and mysteries involved are difficult for outsiders to fully understand.

“The Jade Edict will be passed on tonight, and all the masters of Zhenwu Mountain should go to watch the ceremony... We can just open the Demon-Suppressing Well..." Qian Shaokun sneered.

"In order to open the Demon-Subduing Well and bring back the Difficult Insect, we need a living sacrifice."

Qian Shengwu rolled his glasses, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile, but his dark gaze was cast towards the dense forest, looking towards where Zhang Fan was.

"A bug is a bug... After listening to it for so long, it's time to come out."
