I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 149: Reversing Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang Mirror Technique

Ji Yuan bowed and saluted: "Brother Wen Dao, have you discussed it with your family and made up your mind?"

"Well, to be honest, I came here to discuss this matter with you." Wen Lingyue shook his wide sleeves, touched his beard and laughed.

Wen Lingyue pointed to the inner hall and said, "There are many eyes and ears here. Please go into the inner hall and we will talk."

"The inner hall is a bit simple, let's go to the Xieyue Cave, please!" Ji Yuan smiled apologetically and stretched out his hand to signal Elder Wen to go ahead.

Because the Lingtai Peak Taoist Temple was only recently approved for construction.

Even though the master sent immortal strongmen, porters, and invited human construction masters totaling tens of thousands of people to build a mansion for Ji Yuan day and night.

It would not be possible to build a mansion of "Dao Miao" standards in just a few months.

This was after Ji Yuan demonstrated his treasure refining skills; after consultation with the ancestors of the sect and special approval from the head master, he collected a thousand spiritual trees, crystal stones, pearls, jade, and ten thousand pieces of gold.

Ji Yuan was given the "Dao Miao Shang Zhen" level treatment and was ordered to build the "Lingtai Treasure Palace and Xieyue Cave Mansion".

It is estimated that it will take ten years to build and construct; it will include alchemy platforms, fire platforms, moon platforms; cave pavilions, treasure halls, law halls, study halls, and animal halls, covering hundreds of rooms in the palace.

It should have carved beams and painted buildings, colorful tiles and gold lacquer.

The doors, windows, pillars and beams should also be sealed with gold lacquer, cinnabar, calligraphy and painting talismans.

It has only been under construction for a few months. Except for the Eight Trigrams Alchemy Platform used for refining treasures and a few miscellaneous palaces, all other buildings are still under construction.

Apart from going to Baguatai to refine treasures, Ji Yuan mainly lived in the cliff cave where he used to live.

It is precisely because of this "Shangzhen" treatment.

Ji Yuan walked inside the sect. Many of the seniors who had received true teachings or whose cultivation was higher than his were extremely courteous and respectful to him on the surface, no matter what they thought in their hearts.

For example, Wang Lingcan, the deacon of the Yin-Yang Department of the Palace Sutra Pavilion, is also a true disciple; he is in charge of the inheritance of the true scriptures of the Dharma. However, he respectfully calls Ji Yuan "Daoist Master".

For example, the Wen family elder in front of him, one of the first elders of the true teachings, with the cultivation level of the upper Tongxuan realm, and an elder of more than 8,000 years old, Wen Lingyue.

In conversation, Ji Yuan was also called "real person".

After all, this is not the cultivation of immortals by the underworld; strength is not entirely respected. After all, there are always people better than you.

You say that you have been in seclusion for ten thousand years, and have mastered a magic spell to the highest level; that you can defeat many elders and immortals with one hand; but the next moment, a humble sword-holding attendant or divine guardian jumps out from under the immortal's seat and subdues you.

This is normal, after all, gods are divided into civil and martial arts.

In this world, especially in the big sects, self-cultivation is certainly important; however, human relationships, social status and status are also extremely important.

Especially in the supreme sects, there are hundreds of thousands of Qi-refining practitioners, among whom there are many who have profound cultivation and magical powers and can show off their power.

But among them, there are only a few who have noble status and are well-known and respected throughout the heavens and the world.

Slanting Moon Cave was built by a true disciple of the Dayan lineage at Lingtai Peak who was unknown how many generations ago. It is located on the steep cliffs of Lingtai Peak, with clouds and mist rising outside.

Outside the cave is a thousand-foot-deep cold pool and deep ravines.

The cave is winding and extended for thousands of feet, with terraces, pavilions, halls, and waterside pavilions.

When Ji Yuan arrived, he was the only one practicing in Lingtai Peak, where benches, tables, stoves, smoke and cobwebs were densely covered. After cleaning up, he began to practice Qi in the cave.

"This place is very nice, quiet and ancient. It is truly a cave outside a cave and a sky outside a sky. You can see the moon when you look up. No wonder it is called the Slanting Moon Cave." Wen Lingyue stepped into the cave and praised it highly.

There is a stone platform several hundred feet wide in front of the cave entrance. After entering the cave, the stones on both sides are chiseled and carved with axes. After walking a hundred steps or so, the view suddenly opens up.

It is hundreds of feet wide, with a lotus pond in front and gurgling spring water, and a stone bridge leading to the other side. A stone pavilion is faintly visible in the mist.

Looking upwards, there is an opening on the top of the cave, letting in a ray of daylight, illuminating the entire cave in every detail.

There are plum blossoms and peach leaves on all sides of the cave; three and two weeping willows, red flowers and lotus flowers, all of which are evergreen and never wither year after year.

There are stone pillars, stone walls, stone platforms and stone chambers around it; it is simple and elegant, quiet and graceful.

"Brother Wen, it's nice, but it's a little quiet." Ji Yuan led Wen Lingyue to the stone pavilion.

He sat in the pavilion with Wen Lingyue, and waved his hand to send Yin Yaoer away.

"Yao'er, go get two cups of tea quickly."

Yin Yaoer said nothing, curled her lips, turned around and walked away.

Seeing Yin Yaoer being sent away, only Zi Jia and Ji Yuan were left in the pavilion.

Wen Lingyue got straight to the point, took out two treasure boxes from his sleeves and placed them on the stone table: "Master Ji, there is no Six Ears here, let's get straight to the point."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger and opened the slightly larger sandalwood talisman box a little.

"Whoosh!" A clear sound came from the box, and the bright rays of light reflected on Shi Ting and the two people's faces in various colors. The innate breath lingered for dozens of feet.

Just a little light was opened, and the layers of light from the treasures made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Ji Yuan calmed himself down and looked at it carefully.

Inside the sandalwood talisman box were two irregular stones the size of fists, one red and the other blue.

The red one was so bright and sharp that just getting close to it would make the blood boil and the heart beat uncontrollably.

As for the blue one, it also has a bright and innate spiritual light, but it is cold and dim. When the light changes, it can make people feel shaken and dizzy.

“This is…” Ji Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn’t help but want to reach out and take it.

"Snap!" Wen Lingyue was frightened and quickly closed the talisman box.

He looked at Ji Yuan solemnly: "Master, please don't blame me. This rare treasure cannot be touched by hands."

"If it is a rare treasure? Why can't I touch it with my hands?" Ji Yuan was curious.

"Yes; these two treasures are both tainted with the innate primordial Dao tools; they contain strange powers, and they were obtained by an ancestor of my Wen family who was at the Golden Immortal level."

Wen Lingyue stroked his beard and talked about the origin of this item.

"This innate treasure is neither copper nor iron, neither gold nor stone. Its name and properties are unknown, but it contains two strange infectious powers."

“No matter if you are immortal or mortal, once you get within ten miles of this thing, you will be infected by the strange power of this alien thing invisibly.”

"The red one causes nails and teeth to fall out, hair to wither and fall out, blood to rapidly flow out of the body, and vital energy to be lost. It can take as long as half a year or as short as a few days before a person withers and dies."

"The blue one makes one depressed, dizzy, and has all kinds of hallucinations. Even those who are well versed in the mysteries of the Tao cannot avoid it. One will be stricken without knowing it, and become like a madman, not recognizing any relatives."

Ji Yuan was surprised: "So amazing!"

"More than that! No matter how high your cultivation is, even if you are proficient in the mysteries of the Dao. Once your skin comes into contact with these two foreign objects, it will be infected by the strange power, and the flesh and blood in your body will melt and necrotize directly. Within a few days, you will be just a pool of rotten flesh."

"Even those who touch your rotten flesh with their hands will be infected by the alien force. In the worst case, the whole arm will be necrotic, and in the worst case, it will turn into a pool of blood and rotten flesh."

"The ancestors discovered that the strange power of this thing might be some kind of cosmic radiation from the beginning of the universe; it is invisible and intangible, and cannot be observed; it can instantly destroy the flesh and blood of living creatures."

"That's why I specially asked Grandpa to write two magic talismans and put them in a sandalwood treasure box."

Wen Lingyue said, warning carefully: "That's why I stopped you from touching them just now; if a real person wants to refine these two rare treasures, he must not touch them with his hands or body."

"How did our master obtain such a rare treasure?" Ji Yuan became interested.

The ability of this treasure sounds so much like some kind of "radiation".

"I don't know how many tens of thousands of years ago, my Wen family had a spiritual iron mine, which could mine hundreds of kilograms of spiritual iron every year... That spiritual iron could be used to forge swords, and it was unique to my Wen family!"

It turns out that the Wen family once controlled a kind of mineral deposit.

It is called "Yan Tie" because miners in the mines will quickly lose their teeth and hair and turn into blood. This kind of iron is extremely flexible and can be used to forge magic weapons. It is a specialty of the Wen family.

After mining for who knows how many years, some miners dug deep into a vein and suddenly, a strange force erupted completely, and all living creatures and animals within a thousand miles were instantly infected by this strange force.

The birds and animals seemed normal, but within a few days, their hair and nails fell off and turned into blood.

At that time, the ancestor of the Wen family noticed something unusual; relying on the indestructible body of the Golden Immortal, he went in pursuit; and brought up the two rare treasures from deep within the earth's veins.

After the rare treasure was taken, the disgusting iron also disappeared. This was because the disgusting iron was originally an ordinary thing, and the reason it had various special properties was entirely due to the infection of this innate rare treasure.

The Golden Immortal Patriarch of the Wen family was delighted and regarded it as a precious treasure. He held it in his hand and practiced with it day and night, intending to combine it with his spiritual energy to make it into a magic weapon.

As a result, within a few days, the ancestor's immortal body suddenly melted into a pool of blood.

Fortunately, the Wen family's ancestor, the Golden Immortal Great Sage, was able to recover his immortal body in an instant; otherwise, he would have really been possessed by this rare treasure.

But after this incident, the Golden Immortal Ancestor of the Wen family fell into a semi-dead state. Before falling asleep, he sealed the two treasures in a box and did not allow his descendants to open or touch them easily.

“Since you opened the box just now, doesn’t that mean…” Ji Yuan’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

Could it be that the invisible force had been leaked? In the entire Dayan Cave, within a radius of ten thousand miles, all the creatures seemed to be alive and kicking, but their flesh and souls had been necroticly killed by radiation?
"Master, don't panic. This treasure box has been studied and practiced by our Wen family's ancestors for generations. It has been confirmed that it can lock the special powers of the two treasures."

Wen Lingyue smiled proudly: "Just open it, as long as there is no contact with the flesh and blood, that invisible power will not leak out."

"Really?"

Seeing Wen Lingyue nod affirmatively, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to this, this power is really powerful! This kind of rare treasure is the only one I have ever seen in my life."

“That’s right. It is said that no one can directly observe that kind of extraordinary power except the founder of Hunyuan Sect. Even the Great Sage of my Wen family almost got fooled by it back then.” Wen Lingyue also sighed.

All we know is that this strange power is invisible and intangible, and cannot be seen by the naked eye or the Dharma eye.

Yet it does exist and can kill even the smallest bits of flesh and blood.

"This treasure is innate, but it cannot be touched with flesh and blood. This is a big difficulty."

Ji Yuan frowned: "No wonder so many powerful people in your family can't cultivate it into a magic weapon."

To cultivate the most precious treasure in this world and to emphasize the unity of body and spirit, one must hold the treasure in one's hands, like a limb, and slowly be tempered by magic power.

It cannot be held in the hand; naturally, it cannot be used for rituals.

“Hehe, it is indeed impossible to practice; but doesn’t the Immortal have the Eight Trigrams Furnace? Maybe you can control this treasure by refining it in your treasure furnace?” Wen Lingyue said with a smile.

He didn't have high expectations.

In fact, if these two strange stones did not have such terrible characteristics that they could not be used for sacrifice, the Wen family would never be willing to hand over the two innate spiritual treasures to Ji Yuan.

"Well, I can try; but the treasure box will be broken." Ji Yuan frowned and thought for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Master, what you mean is that if you fail to practice, these two strange stones cannot be returned?" Wen Lingyue was so experienced that he could hear the hidden meaning.

“After all, as you said, Brother Dao, this strange stone can be called a demonic creature and is extremely powerful. And it cannot be touched by hands, so I can only throw it into the furnace together with the treasure box.” Ji Yuan explained.

"Yes, that's true." Wen Lingyue agreed.

"If it can be practiced, then it's fine. If not, the strange stone can be returned naturally; but who can take it out?" Ji Yuan asked back.

No one dares to touch this thing except the truly immortal Golden Immortal.

After the treasure box is broken, once it is taken out, the area within a thousand miles will become a dead zone.

Who dares to reach out and grab it?

"Okay, if it fails, then we will put these two strange stones into the fire to suppress them; but as for the compensation that the immortal mentioned..." Wen Lingyue pretended to be embarrassed, and then rubbed his hands excitedly.

This is the real calculation of their Wen family.

From the very beginning, they never thought that Ji Yuan had the ability to refine the innate spiritual treasure.

It is certain that Ji Yuan will lose; and it just so happens that there are two dangerous things in the family that are like time bombs.

Now the Wen family is prosperous and has many masters. An ancient golden immortal who is about to die is sleeping in the cave, and there are dozens of Taoist masters.

But what about tens or millions of years later?

Who could have predicted; what if at that time, there was no one above the Tao to bless the treasure box.

If the box loses its restraints and the corrosive power of the Yuan Stone leaks out, wouldn’t that be a huge disaster?

So the ancestors of the Wen family discussed for a while and decided to take advantage of the situation.

Just give these two strange stones to Ji Yuan and put them into the Bagua furnace.

Not only can it solve a huge problem for the Wen family.

Turn this big trouble into Ji Xiaozi's gossip furnace.

You can also get several high-quality magical instruments as compensation for free.

It couldn't be a better deal.

And if Ji Yuan succeeds.

The Wen family made even more money.

Not only can it solve big problems, but it can also obtain a supreme magic weapon that contains special powers and is at least at the top level of magic weapons.

How do you calculate this? The Wen family is making huge profits, so why not do it?

So Master Guangyang of the Wen family made a decision; do it.

These Taoist old monsters have been practicing for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, and they are all very smart.

He is not that easy to fool; although they don't understand what Ji Yuan is going to do; but they can vaguely sense that Ji Yuan wants their treasured elixirs and treasures.

"How about this; if you can't practice it, I will add another top-grade magic weapon and compensate your family for the three magic weapons." Ji Yuan smiled.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and grasped the sandalwood talisman box.

In the mind.

The mythological atlas slowly unfolds; wisps of spiritual light gather, and a scroll of true talisman is transmitted into the heart.

It turned into the shape of a red and blue copper mirror, with dense talismans and prohibitions surrounding it.

At the same time, all kinds of scenes are manifested within the mind.

The strange man holds a bronze mirror, revealing two sides, red and blue, and emitting countless rays of light.

A flash of red light shone, and in an instant, the universe was in chaos, and the blood, vitality, soul and spiritual light of the people opposite were taken away. Regardless of whether they were human, immortal, god or demon, they all fell to the ground and died.

A blue light shone; yin and yang were reversed, the dead were brought back to life, and the immortals, gods and demons who had fainted became hazy and full of energy again.

In the darkness, all the images disappeared.

A scroll of true talismans emerged in my mind.

It is called: "The True Talisman of Reversing Yin and Yang"

The name of the treasure is [Yin Yang Mirror].
