Pure Yang True Soul

<Ghost Blood Curse Soul Technique>, <Death Sacrifice Soul Descent Technique>, <Great Soul Sacrifice Method>.

Looking at the names of the various Cultivation Method in front of him, Yang Ning felt that something was amiss.

"This doesn't sound like a proper Cultivation Method name!"

"Cultivation Methods involving the soul, blood, and sacrifices are not necessarily heretical, but those involving these things in the Body Refinement Realm are most likely Outer Dao!" Deep Blue said.

Yang Ning was speechless, but he had to admit that Deep Blue was right. There were many methods available to the Body Refinement Realm, but they were far from involving the soul, because at this stage, a cultivator's soul was still difficult to separate from the body on its own.

The only techniques involving the soul leaving the body are naturally Curses, black magic, and rituals to suppress evil spirits.

Deep Blue had already pre-screened the Cultivation Method presented to Yang Ning, meaning that the Cultivation Method had minimal side effects and were usable.

Yang Ning picked up the first one: <Ghost Blood Curse Soul Technique>, and read it for a while.

This is a ritualistic Daoist practice, which involves setting up a complex ceremony and reciting targeted incantations to produce special effects. Such Daoist practices are highly likely to point to a powerful being, such as a demon, ghost, or celestial being.

Ordinary cultivators of the immortal path don't need to do this; they establish sects and have countless disciples and followers to help them with their affairs.

This Soul Curse Technique is similar; the casting material is the blood of ninety-nine ghost infants. After setting up the Nine-Nine Ghost Infant Array, a being called the Ghost Infant Demon God can be summoned. This being can extract the soul of the person designated by the array setter from their body and hand it over to the caster.

Since the Ghost Infant Demon God collects the blood of a ghost infant, the entire transaction process is relatively fair and will not have any impact on the spellcaster.

If Yang Ning were to use it, he would be cursing himself.

Yang Ning flipped through the material again, and a chill ran down his spine.

This refers to the blood of an infant who is more than nine months old but died before birth.

To be honest, this material is not difficult to collect, and there is no need to kill anyone. We are still in the feudal era, and there are great risks for pregnant women to give birth. A single mistake can result in the death of both mother and child.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning immediately said, "Deep Blue, help me create a new account on Deep Blue Video, let's call it Doctor Little Yang."

"Account created, then what?"

"Release a video demonstrating how to make and use forceps!" Yang Ning said.

"Good!"

While the use of forceps has led to some babies suffering head injuries or broken arms, such cases are rare. In contrast, far more babies are born safely thanks to the invention of forceps.

In summary, a 90% success rate and a 10% failure rate is a great achievement!

Yang Ning certainly knew of its existence, but the memory was deeply buried in his mind. He had never paid attention to this kind of information before, so he only remembered it now that it involved this topic!

"You can use this account to do some popular science content on anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, and surgery, one update a day!" Yang Ning said.

Mobile phones have begun to circulate from cultivators to ordinary people. The videos he posts on his phone will naturally be seen by doctors in the community. As long as enough videos are posted, the medical level in the mortal world will naturally improve gradually.

Preaching and imparting knowledge is a meritorious act, not to mention that the improvement of medical standards in the mortal world will lead to an increase in the mortal population, which in turn will increase the fortune of Taiheng, and Yang Ning's fortune will naturally follow suit.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Ning added, "Let's stop calling him Doctor Little Yang and start calling him Medical Immortal Mu Yi!"

This is because some doctors are too arrogant. If you dare to call yourself "Little Yang," he will really look down on you, and then he won't take your videos seriously. He might even rant and rave under your account.

It would be better to call oneself a medical immortal. The word "immortal" is not a word that ordinary people can use. With this title, even an old doctor with white hair would have to listen carefully and humbly seek knowledge from this account.

If you dare to curse at someone in the comments section of a video, the immortal will dare to confront you face-to-face!

"Yes!" Deep Blue nodded.

Yang Ning is not worried about Deep Blue's teaching level. If education levels are also divided into grades, then Deep Blue is undoubtedly at the top of the spectrum!

He abandoned the <Ghost Blood Curse Soul Technique>, not wanting to summon unfamiliar demon gods, nor wanting to go through the trouble of collecting the blood of ghost infants.

The "Death Sacrifice Soul Descent Technique" is also a Curse spell, but it has nothing to do with other demons or gods.

He used his own blood to inscribe a death sacrifice array, offering his own soul in a final act of destruction to take his enemy down with him.

Of course, the gap between them cannot be too large. It is possible for a mortal Curse another mortal, and it is also possible for a mortal to curse a cultivator at the first or second level of physical body. However, it is very difficult to Curse a cultivator at the Body Tempering Triple Layer, because a cultivator at the Body Tempering Triple Layer has already developed Qi and Blood, Qi and Blood Field is resistant to Curses.

A cultivator at the Body Refinement Realm can also Curse someone at a higher realm than themselves, but Fifth Level of Body Refinement of the Physical Body Realm cannot Curse Sixth Level of Body Refinement, Eighth Level of Body Refinement cannot Curse Ninth Level of Body Refinement.

This Curse has a problem: once it's used, the user is guaranteed to die, but if the opponent receives timely medical treatment or is protected by a high-level cultivator, they may survive.

In short, it's a rather useless Cultivation Method.

But it does allow one's soul to leave their body.

Yang Ning studied the death sacrifice formation and discovered that the sacrifice formation and the runes were actually the same thing: a circuit of Spiritual Qi.

The difference lies in the fact that the sacrificial array uses a low- Spiritual Qi circuit, while the runes use a mid-grade or high-grade Spiritual Qi circuit.

Sacrificial formations can be drawn with blood, but runes must be drawn with Spirit Materials.

Since they are all Spiritual Qi circuits, we can use the rune rules discovered by Jiang Boming to integrate them into one system.

Before long, Yang Ning had figured out the sacrificial array and then broke it down into several functional blocks, such as energy supply, soul capture, attracting Curse Qi, finding targets, and Curse.

Yang Ning doesn't need the latter three functions; he only needs the energy supply and soul-capturing functions.

After some research, Yang Ning drew a pattern that had been significantly simplified but was still complex in shape.

The shape is generally circular, but inside it is a composite pattern made up of several polygons, circles, and Water Droplet -shaped lines. Although the Curse part has been removed, it still looks sinister.

In Yang Ning's vision, the function of this formation should be that once the formation is drawn with blood, it will immediately activate and then unleash its soul-capturing power to extract one's own soul.

The soul and the body naturally possess a powerful attraction to each other, so as long as the power to attract the soul disappears, the soul will automatically return to its place, provided that the soul has not been separated from the body for too long.

As for whether there will be any problems if the soul leaves temporarily, and whether it will affect future cultivation?

Yang Ning said he didn't know either, since no one had demonstrated it before. He himself thought it should be possible purely theoretically, but he had never put it into practice.

It's definitely impossible to train on your own, but that's not a big problem. This world is lacking in everything, except for cultivators stuck at the Body Refinement Tenth Layer Body Refinement Realm who are too afraid to Qi Induction.

Of course, he wouldn't try it with cultivators from his own sect; Yang Ning couldn't afford to take responsibility if something went wrong.

So.

Yang Ning closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself in a primeval forest.

Less than a meter away from him, a group of six people—four men and two women—were cautiously groping their way forward.

Of course, they couldn't see Yang Ning, because Yang Ning used virtual projection to project their images onto his side. Apart from the lush primeval forest, all that remained around the six of them was a dense Cloud-Mist Information Matrix.

But the forest was already filled with dust and smoke, so this fog naturally didn't attract their attention.

"The ruins are just ahead!" The leader of the group was a young man in black with black hair, named Luo Haixing, a disciple of the Gushang Sect.

The five people next to him were his teammates from the Gushang Sect Group, and each of them had reached the Body Refinement Tenth Layer.

"Let me tell you about that ruin first. It's a ruin that's only three thousand years old. It should contain the remains of a senior cultivator. This senior might have cultivated Puppet Beasts, so he left behind three Puppet Beasts. These Puppet Beasts have been weakening over time, but they are still very powerful. When you come, you'll have to work in pairs and you absolutely cannot be careless!"

"Yes!"

"Great Puppet Technique?" Yang Ning had already arrived at the ruins ahead of everyone else. The puppets were only for defense against people, not against Water Droplets.

Yang Ning was startled when he examined the Jade Slip left by this senior with his spiritual power.

This dilapidated ruin is even worse than the cave where his impoverished family lived, yet it contains a Supreme Divine Ability?

However, after reading it once, he shook his head speechlessly. What Supreme Divine Ability? It was just a method of Mana Silk to control puppets.

This is still an Earth-grade Divine Ability, but the predecessor who left the legacy said that as long as the puppets created are strong enough and numerous enough, it is not a problem to fight against Supreme Divine Abilities.

I remember the Heavenly Impact Earth Transformation Art of the Ditian Sect was described in a similar way; as long as you practice it well, you can even fight against Supreme Divine Ability.

Yang Ning copied the Divine Ability. There were other things stored here as well, but three thousand years had passed, and almost everything that could be damaged had deteriorated. Several Cultivation Method written in books had also been corroded into ashes by time and could not be restored at all.

However, obtaining an Earth-grade Divine Ability from an adventure is a decent reward for the wandering immortals of Yingzhou.

"I'll add something more for you!" As Yang Ning uttered these words, countless Water Droplets of mist gathered together, followed by streaks of lightning. On a flat stone slab beside him, tiny characters, the size of ants, gradually appeared.

Two hours later, the six who had finally defeated the puppets entered the cave.

"There's a Jade Slip!" Luo Haixing, grabbed the Jade Slip first, then stuck it to his forehead, his eyes immediately lighting up.

"How was it, senior brother?"

"An Earth-grade Divine Ability!" Luo Haixing exclaimed excitedly.

"Wow!!" The junior students next to them immediately cheered.

Although you can't practice Earth-grade Divine Ability for now, you can sell it for money. With money, you can buy pills to increase your chances of breaking through, which is still a gain!

"Hey!" A sharp-eyed junior brother seemed to have noticed something and reached out to brush away the dusty stone slab next to him.

"This is... writing? It's Dragon Script! But why is it hot?"

It's hot, of course. I just used lightning to hit it.

"Dragon Script? I can decipher it, let me see!" A female cultivator immediately stepped forward, and the five people beside her followed suit.

As everyone knows, the Dragon Clan is incredibly wealthy and never leaves behind worthless treasures. The various Dragon Clan-related relics unearthed contain Divine Ability Supreme Divine Ability from supreme to Heaven-grade Divine Ability being rare.

The existing Earth-level and Human-grade Divine Ability are basically derived from the Divine Ability of the Dragon Clan, or created by later generations.

There's a stone slab here with Dragon Script written on it; what's recorded on it must be extraordinary!

"The Pure Yang True Explanation?" The female cultivator read the title aloud, her face immediately lighting up with excitement. "It's a Cultivation Method!"

"Hurry up, keep reading!"

"Mmm!" the female cultivator quickly continued.

Yang Ning and Deep Blue have translated countless Cultivation Method, even Supreme Divine Ability. They can translate plain language Cultivation Method into coded language characteristic of the Cultivation World, so classical Chinese "Daoist scriptures" are naturally no problem for them.

The female cultivator looked at the ancient stone slab without the slightest doubt, and as she read it aloud, she explained the meaning of the coded message to everyone, reciting it from beginning to end.

These codes were also codes from back then. With the great decryption of the Tianyi Sect, many codes were written into the dictionary, so naturally they were no challenge for this girl who was proficient in Dragon Script.

Some cultivators with higher comprehension have already begun to comprehend this Cultivation Method.

"This is a soul-refining Cultivation Method. It involves undergoing the Three Calamities to cultivate one's soul into Pure Yang True Soul, and then..."

Luo Haixing's eyes lit up. This was actually a Cultivation Method that could allow someone to break through from the Body Refinement Realm to the Qi Refining Stage?

This is simply unbelievable. He has been cultivating for so many years and has never heard of such Cultivation Method. Everyone can only endure the passage of time, accumulate spiritual power, and then break through when they feel that their foundation is not enough!

Now I realize that above the Divine Sea Realm should be the Pure Yang Realm. Once you've cultivated the Pure Yang True Soul, you can naturally break through to the Qi Refining Stage!

I wondered why it was so difficult; it turns out that all the Cultivation Method obtained by different sects were separated by a certain realm!

So, if I master this Cultivation Method, wouldn't I be able to break through to the Qi Refining Stage?

If the sect obtains this Cultivation Method, wouldn't it instantly increase the number of Qi Refining cultivators by dozens?

Thinking of this, Luo Haixing's face suddenly darkened.

No, it's enough if only I break through to the Qi Refining Stage. If everyone else does, what chance do I have?

Moreover, since this Cultivation Method is so powerful for a sect, the correct way to use it is definitely not to give it to the sect, but to establish one's own sect.

Unless one is the heir to this sect.

But is he the successor to the Gushang Sect?

No!

Thinking of this, and glancing at her fellow disciples who were still laughing foolishly, completely unaware of the profound significance behind this Cultivation Method, Luo Haixing silently gripped the long sword at her waist.

After a long while, accompanied by a loud explosion, Luo Haixing, looking grief-stricken, walked out of the cave.

"I must report this to the sect immediately. The ruins are far too dangerous; five of my junior brothers and sisters have perished there! Fortunately, I obtained an Earth-grade Divine Ability, which at least gives me some explanation to the sect!"

Yang Ning clicked his tongue. Just as expected, given the underworld-style cultivation culture of Yingzhou, once they saw this Cultivation Method, they would definitely decide to keep it all for themselves!

Fortunately, he arranged hundreds of similar cases.

This includes, but is not limited to, relic stone slabs, auction house secret manuals hidden compartments, treasure chest garbage dumps, sword hidden compartments, the spines of predecessors, and inscriptions on coffin lids.

The names of the Cultivation Method are also incredibly varied, but they are all undeniably top-notch and sophisticated.

This includes, but is not limited to, <Pure Yang True Explanation>, <Great Sun True Scripture>, <Nine Yang Divine Skill>, etc.

Make sure everyone who finds him believes they are the chosen one!

As for whether they will doubt the authenticity of the Cultivation Method?

How could anyone doubt it? This world is full of honest and simple people; no one has ever thought of using fake Cultivation Method to deceive others.

Moreover, even if there were fake Cultivation Method, cultivators wouldn't think it was a problem with the Cultivation Method itself, but rather with themselves, such as insufficient aptitude, lack of effort, lack of talent, or not having a pure yang body, which is why they couldn't master it.

Since those selected were all Body Refinement Tenth Layer, someone drew an array that very day, captured their soul, and that very night someone attempted to undergo the demonic tribulation!

Heavenly Queen, Yang Ning received the first batch of data.

A total of 365 people practiced this Cultivation Method, and 64 of them died that day.

Of these 64 people, 22 were affected by external interference and their souls could not return to their original places in time. The remaining 14 people did not read the question carefully and chose to have their souls leave their bodies on a hot day, resulting in their immediate death.

The remaining 28 people likely died because their cultivation levels were not high enough, and their souls were directly corrupted by the demonic energy.

This is also Yang Ning's fault. He didn't expect that even though he had chosen a very old cultivator at the Body Refinement Tenth Layer, his 28 souls were still so fragile.

Of the remaining 301 people, 15 had never tried the Cultivation Method, and 26 had drawn the formation incorrectly, which was absurd even after several reviews.

The last 260 people all had their souls extracted successfully, and in accordance with the requirements of the Cultivation Method, they tempered their souls once every night. They had already tried three times, and all three attempts were successful!

Yang Ning mobilized the Cloud-Mist Information Matrix to focus on observing these 260 people.

On the fifth day, someone else encountered a problem.

This time, the fusion of his soul and Devil Qi caused a mutation, resulting in him transforming into a demon who became ruthless and unrecognizable to his family, before being killed by the sect leader.

His cultivation Cultivation Method was also discovered. The sect leader studied it and felt there seemed to be no problem with it, but seeing his disciple's miserable state, he dared not let him try it rashly. In the end, he could only set up a seal to store the Cultivation Method away.

On the sixth day, the number of people experiencing this condition increased, reaching 12.

On the seventh day, the number of those who had fallen into demonic possession reached 35!

Day 8, 57!

Day 9, 114!

Just when Yang Ning thought the Cultivation Method had failed, Luo Haixing gave Yang Ning a pleasant surprise.

He can now ignore Demonic Spiritual Energy!

That very night, he began the second stage of cultivation, his soul rising three zhang above the ground to begin adapting to the Five Phases Spiritual Qi!

His soul was already showing signs of becoming real, and a dark, phantom-like figure could even be seen with the naked eye, yet there was no sign of Devil Qi corruption.

This means that he only used Devil Qi to temper his soul, but the Devil Qi did not enter his soul body.

He truly realized Yang Ning's vision!

The Five Phases Spiritual Qi caused Luo Haixing's soul to scatter into a mess. After Luo Haixing's soul returned to its place, it let out a miserable scream and remained unconscious for three more days.

Yang Ning thought he was going to give up, but unexpectedly he spent all his money to buy Soul Nurturing Pills, Heavenly Queen, he continued his cultivation.

And they went straight for the Five Phases Spiritual Qi Zone!

"That's a ruthless person!" Yang Ning didn't know the extent of Luo Haixing's soul injury, but judging from the recovery time, it shouldn't be serious.

Come to think of it, he only sought out very old cultivators at the Body Refinement Tenth Layer. Logically speaking, their spiritual cultivation should already be very high, and they should have a certain resistance to Spiritual Qi.

They might be just one step away from Spiritual Qi entering their bodies, so naturally they wouldn't be easily dispersed by the Five Phases Spiritual Qi.

Sure enough, Luo Haixing adapted to the Five Phases Spiritual Qi in just three days.

Finally, on the fourth day, the 18th day after he obtained the Cultivation Method, he began the third stage!

Under the bright moonlight, I attempted to project my Primordial Spirit Departure.

At this moment, the world is filled with the purest stellar power: the Taiyin Power!

The Taiyin Power is not as intense as the power of Yang, but its power is still not to be underestimated, yet the Luo Haixing managed to persevere.

Furthermore, Yang Ning discovered that the time he spent outside his body was getting longer and longer, and his body not only did not deteriorate, but he was full of energy and his condition seemed to be getting better and better!

"Is this an improvement in the essence of the spirit, which in turn leads to an improvement in the physical body?" Yang Ning thought of a term: half-step Qi Refining!

Therefore, this Cultivation Method is not only harmless to the body, but also beneficial?

As for those who failed in their cultivation, Yang Ning didn't care at all. It was obvious that it was a matter of aptitude, not a problem with their Cultivation Method.

Cultivating immortality is like mathematics; it's never been suitable for everyone.

On the 20th day, Luo Haixing's training shifted from nighttime to daytime, in a shady spot.

His soul grew stronger, clearer, and closer to that of True Person!

By the 27th day, the Luo Haixing was able to walk freely in the sunlight.

His soul was so clear and tangible that, to the naked eye, it was indistinguishable from his physical form.

Perhaps he has already mastered what Yang Ning envisioned— the Pure Yang True Soul!

Then, unsurprisingly...

On the 30th day, the Luo Haixing without any difficulty, Qi Induction successfully!
