Fetal Breath

Li Fuchan did not begin cultivation immediately, but instead first stepped into Liu Cuo's Secret Seal.

He wanted to see if Liu Cuo had left behind any cultivation manuals.

But as soon as he entered, he couldn't help but frown.

Sword pellet.

No, those things now seem to only be considered pills.

Hundreds of palm-sized pieces of meat were neatly arranged on the table.

And within that fleshy fetus, a newly formed infant was struggling.

It looked incredibly strange, seemingly devoid of any Blood Qi, but instead exuding a pure, Lesser Yin energy.

Li Fuchan looked down at the wall and saw a line of seal script characters written on it, which read:

Fetal Elixir Cave.

Upon seeing the name of this Secret Seal place, a hint of coldness flickered across Li Fuchan's brow, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by a calm expression. He murmured, "So this is the reason why I dared not let anyone know that I had obtained this Secret Seal during my twenty-seven years of seclusion."

He had been quite puzzled. This sword pellet didn't seem to be a magical Law Artifact made from Spirit Object, so how could it retain Sword Qi? Moreover, Zhang Yuanqing, a cultivator who wasn't good at combat, could easily kill Monster while wielding this sword pellet, which suggested that the sword pellet could actively release Sword Qi upon contact with Law Power.

Now he understands.

The birth of an infant is characterized by the "unbroken mysterious female" state. The Innate Qi is evenly distributed throughout the entire fetus, without the obstruction of meridians, bones, or acupoints. There are no gaps or injuries from acquired objects inside, making it like a perfectly integrated bag.

It can naturally be used to preserve Sword Qi.

"It seems that Liu Cuo's fortuitous opportunity in this Fetal Elixir Cave was to refine the Embryo Pill, which is why he is regarded as Evil Spirit."

He re-guided "Muffled Crow in Ambush," and after confirming that "Li Thunder" hadn't struck him, Thunderlight surged from his palm, burning away all the embryonic cores. Then, he looked at the three characters "Fetal Elixir Cave" on the stone wall beside him, erased them with Thunderlight, and re-carved three characters, saying:

Fetal Breath Cave.

Even now, Liu Cuo's dark gray pupils have always been shrouded in an indescribable veil, like Dark Clouds. After the Fetal Elixir Cave was erased and the Fetal Breath Cave was carved, they had disappeared when he looked at them again.

He seemed oblivious to this anomaly; instead, his eyes narrowed.

"Li Thunder" didn't react at all?

Why is it so difficult to repair "Li Thunder" (a type of structure)?

Failing to uphold righteousness and deceive the Dao Attainment; the fundamental problem is that a lack of integrity will lead to being killed by the "Thunder of Li Thunder." After all, in this world of cultivation, who can remain completely innocent and upright throughout their life? If someone can remain completely innocent and upright throughout their life, why would they need the "Li Thunder" to kill them?

Let's see if he can live to see the end of his life.

Now, his killing of Liu Cuo was actually driven more by personal motives. Even though Liu Cuo's practice of refining embryonic pills was considered Evil Spirit, he was still somewhat impure in his heart. Yet, "Li Thunder" showed no reaction whatsoever, Dao Attainment was not diminished.

It seemed that in "Li Thunder's " eyes, no one in the world could kill for personal gain except him.

If he really believed it and killed a lot of people, "Li Thunder" might even pat him on the head.

But if Lei Huo touches your head, that could be fatal.

Li Fuchan felt a chill and fear and immediately returned to Heaven of Separation to lock up "Li Thunder".

He needs to cultivate Lesser Yin to the Inner Vision level as soon as possible. Since he completed the imagery of "Muffled Crow in Ambush", "Li Thunder" seems to be becoming more and more dangerous. It's best not to use it if possible, and it's best to abandon it as soon as possible.

They did not return to the Secret Seal Fetal Breath Cave, but instead treated it as a tomb.

Li Fuchan immediately began practicing the "Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic".

Lesser Yin corresponds to the West. West means migration, and Yin Qi energy descends upon things, which corresponds to autumn. This corresponds to the phrase "autumn harvest of gold essence," which is the phrase "autumn harmony," and is in harmony with the descending and soothing Qi of Lesser Yin in heaven and earth.

Lesser Yin is the pivot of Yin and Yang, governing the Water and Fire organs. In Dao of Alchemy, the Kan trigram is paired with Earth (Wu Earth) to symbolize the Lunar Soul. Kan represents pure Yin water, which is precisely the essence of Lesser Yin. The practice of the * Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic * aims to gather a Lunar Soul within the Sea of Qi. When he practiced the * Purple Firmament Thunder-Script Treasure Register *, the Outer Scenery he cultivated was that Thunder Sigil; the Outer Scenery cultivated through the * Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic * is naturally the Lunar Soul.

Liu Clan's cultivation of the "Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic" often required the assistance of Pill and special Spirit Object, but he did not have such conditions and could only rely on himself.

Fortunately, at least 40% of his Thunder Magic cultivation could be converted into Shaoyin Magic, which made his progress in cultivating the "Autumn Harmony Shaoling Embracing Elixir Classic" quite fast.

A year later, looking at the Outer Scenery Sea of Qi had been replenished, a dark Lunar Soul floated slowly in his Sea of Qi, scattering pure Lesser Yin Qi, which combined with his own Three Qi and slowly transformed into Law Power.

"Indeed, this is how a normal cultivator trains."

Feeling the operation of the "Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic", Li Fuchan couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, I was tormented by "Li Thunder strikes," making it impossible to even stay in a safe place, let alone meditate.

Now he finally understands what it's like to be able to cultivate in peace, without having to hide and cause trouble everywhere to kill demons.

The exterior Outer Scenery is now complete. Once Liu Clan gets the Yang-Moving Aspect, he can leave this place.

Without a moment's hesitation, Li Fuchan stepped out of the Fetal Breath Cave and immediately began to imitate Liu Cuo's handwriting to write a Handwritten Order. Then, through the "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" technique, he collected Liu Cuo's energy and pressed it onto the Handwritten Order.

Having done all that, he released the Handwritten Order.

Outside the secret chamber of the cave abode, there were always people waiting. Seeing that the ancestor, who had been in seclusion for a year, had sent out a handwritten Handwritten Order, the person dared not delay and immediately delivered it to Liu Kang.

After reading the contents of the Handwritten Order and sensing the aura of the ancestor, Liu Kang took the Handwritten Order to find Liu Hui.

Evening Yin Island is not large, but it is inhabited by many mortals, making it almost a place where immortals and mortals live together. This is because many sea Monster gather around it. Whether they are fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, or tortoises, they all claim to be under the command of the Flood Dragon Palace and demand blood offerings.

Although not every member of the Liu Household would fawn over them, there were only one or two who were either highly skilled or had powerful backgrounds. Every twenty years, at least ten thousand mortals would be sent as sacrifices.

Therefore, they could only try their best to encourage mortals to have more children.

It even changed from the original Lesser Yin Lineage to the current "Valley Water" which bears the name Lesser Yin. Valley refers to secluded streams and springs, which are stored in the void, nurture all living beings, and govern conception.

However, even in the territory of the Dragonkind, those who cultivate "Valley Water" dare not cultivate it too deeply, but only focus on its main function of conception.

This refers to "Breeding Prosperity Marsh" in the Five Aspects theory of "Gushui" (Valley Water).

They used all sorts of methods, even taking into account the feelings of mortals, so that the mortals on Evening Yin Island were all healthy, with no pale faces, full of energy, and free from illness, which ensured the blood offerings to the few Monster.

Upon arriving at the main hall on the island, Liu Hui was not there.

Liu Kang asked the servant, "Where has the Household Head gone?"

The servant respectfully replied, "The Household Head has encountered a mishap in his cultivation and has gone to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kang's expression remained calm, as if he were already used to such matters. He nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for him."

He waited there for a moment, and then a male voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Is this Kang'er? Come in."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kang strode into the main hall.

Liu Hui was dressed in a moon-white robe, his long hair was loose, his eyebrows were delicate and his brows were lowered, and there was a fine sweat on his forehead, which showed that he was exhausted.

Anyone who sees her will feel a surge of affection for this lovely person.

But he's a man.

As Liu Kang watched this scene, for some reason, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

He said, "Brother, step down as Household Head. If this continues, you'll be killed by the 'Valley Water'."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui shook his head without replying. He took out a palm-sized Jade Box from behind him, Law Power to hold it up, and handed it to Liu Kang, saying, "Give this to the Ancestor."

Liu Kang reached out and took the Jade Box Jade Box. Inside, there was a fully formed child with its eyes closed. As if sensing that it had been caught by a different person, the child actually smiled at him. A chill ran down Liu Kang's spine.

Breed, Ji Ji Sheng Ye.

In order to ensure the continuation of the Shaoyin lineage, one branch of the Liu family practiced Shaoyin, namely Liu Cuo's lineage.

Another lineage, in order to ensure they could cultivate "Valley Water" and deal with the Monster claiming to be under the command of the Flood Dragon Palace, would cultivate the "Breeding Prosperity Marsh" path to govern the mortal people and ensure their survival and prosperity.

The Yang Aspect of this path is quite simple and straightforward, called "Nurtured Child."

The method for cultivating this Yang Aspect is very simple: it's about having children.

If one has three hundred sons, one's intentions will be fully realized; if one has one thousand two hundred sons, one's physical form will be fully realized.

Originally, this cultivation of the Yang Aspect could be replaced by Spirit Object in the shape of a water feature. Unfortunately, that Spirit Object was controlled by the Dragonkind. It is said that the Azure Ram Temple in South of the Yangtze also has a copy, but unfortunately, it is not meant for them.

Therefore, the responsibility for nurturing these offspring can only be placed on the cultivator himself.

Unfortunately, the human body is too weak to withstand thousands of breeding cycles.

In the lineage of the Household Head, once anyone has cultivated to the point of mastering the Outer Scenery and Yang-Moving Aspect, none of them can live past the age of thirty-five. When the time comes, they will be brutally murdered.

Liu Hui remained silent for a long time. As time slowly passed, his appearance and demeanor gradually transformed into a more masculine one, though his face remained deathly pale. He raised his head, looked at Liu Kang waiting below the steps, and then continued his previous statement, "The First Lineage has inherited the Household Head since the time of the Great Father. My lineage has been the Household Head and has cultivated 'Valley Water' (a type of cultivation). There is no reason why it should be forbidden to cultivate it after it has been passed down to me."

Seeing his words, Liu Kang was still unwilling to give up, so he stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, then let me take over the repair of the 'Valley Water'."

Liu Hui shook his head, his tone calm and unyielding. "If you want to cultivate Lesser Yin, how can you switch to cultivating 'Valley Water'? The rules cannot be broken by the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kang said bitterly, "It's a pity we can't borrow that Spirit Object. Those Monster who promised to plead with the Flood Dragon Palace on our behalf are all making excuses..."

Liu Hui raised his hand to stop him, his tone softening slightly. "The Ancestor has emerged from seclusion. A few days ago, news came that the Ancestor chased down a cultivator whose cultivation level was unclear outside the Looking Seaward Tower in the Zhuolu Sea, most likely a True Person as well. It seems that the Ancestor's cultivation must have improved again. Sooner or later, the Flood Dragon Palace will bestow Spirit Object upon him."

He paused, then continued, "Besides, I've already sent people to South of the Yangtze to try and contact Azure Ram Temple. After all, we belong to the Lesser Yin Lineage, Azure Ram Temple won't ignore us. If we can obtain Spirit Object from there, we can also eliminate the hidden danger of 'Breeding Prosperity Marsh'."

Liu Kang nodded and said nothing more. Liu Hui asked, "What brings you here today?"

Liu Kang snapped out of his daze and quickly took out a handwritten Handwritten Order from his sleeve, presenting it with both hands. "Our ancestor sent this Handwritten Order from a secret chamber, instructing us to go to the Transformation-Contemplation Cave on the island and ordering us to prepare immediately."

Liu Hui took the Handwritten Order, glanced at it, and nodded, saying, "Since Handwritten Order's from the Ancestor, then we'll do as he says. It just so happens that the Ancestor has just emerged from seclusion, and I also have some things to discuss with him."

Liu Kang responded and bowed before retreating.

Soon after, the Formation of Transformation-Contemplation Cave was opened.

Liu Cuo emerged from the secret chamber and, led by Liu Kang, arrived at the cave entrance. Without uttering a word, he stepped inside. Liu Kang didn't find anything unusual about this; his ancestor had always been this way. In fact, Liu Kang's understanding of his ancestor's temperament came almost entirely from his father's oral teachings.

Watching Liu Cuo's figure disappear into the depths of Transformation-Contemplation Cave, he didn't linger any longer and turned to leave.

Today is the day that Monster comes to demand blood offerings, and he needs to personally oversee it.

He arrived at the sea Evening Yin Island, where the sea breeze was salty and the waves were surging.

Before long, a Monster covered in crimson scales burst out of the sea with a roar. It was huge and had a terrifying Yao Qi. A large group of lesser monsters followed behind it.

This demon was clearly Monster of the True Person level. Liu Kang bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

The Monster looked him up and down a few times, then chuckled, "Your scent is very familiar. Wasn't it your father who came here last time?"

Liu Kang hadn't expected this demon to remember his father, but when asked, he answered earnestly, "Yes, sir, it is indeed my father."

Upon hearing this, the Monster asked with suspicion and curiosity, "Then why are you here this time?"

Liu Kang said, "My father failed in his closed-door cultivation and has passed away."

Upon hearing this, the Monster merely nodded, completely unconcerned. "I see. Is the blood offering ready this time?"

Liu Kang nodded and said, "Please rest assured, sir." Seeing that he answered so confidently, the Monster did not think any further. After all, Evening Yin Island was located at sea, and unless they had already made plans to move their entire clan to the sea, they would not dare to deceive him.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly changed the subject. "I have already inquired with the Flood Dragon Palace about the matter you requested."

Liu Kang, who had been hanging his head, suddenly raised it. The Monster continued, "However, your Evening Yin Island has done nothing for the Flood Dragon Palace. If you rashly ask for Spirit Object, I'm afraid others will not be convinced."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kang immediately understood.

The Flood Dragon Palace needs them.

But instead of feeling apprehensive, he was filled with joy. Being used by the Flood Dragon Palace was an extremely rare opportunity for Evening Yin Island.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took out an extremely rare Spirit Object from his Storage Bag, held it with his Law Power, and respectfully presented it to the Monster: "This junior is foolish and ignorant, and hopes that you, sir, can give me some guidance."

The Monster raised its hand, snatched the Spirit Object into its claws, weighed it in its hand, and then put it away. When it looked at Liu Kang again, its eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. "You're a sensible one. I was just giving you a heads-up."

"Twenty years from now, Welcome Ying Isle, my Flood Dragon Palace will hold a grand event. You will go there in person, and then you will know what you should do. If you succeed, it will be a great achievement."

Having said that, he tossed out a jade bottle and turned to leave.

Liu Kang examined the quality of the jade bottle and breathed a sigh of relief.

This jade bottle is indeed unique to the Flood Dragon Palace; ordinary Monster would never dare to imitate it. Therefore, it seems that the red-scaled Monster was indeed acting on the orders of the Flood Dragon Palace to guide Evening Yin Island, rather than abusing its power for personal gain. Watching the demons under the red-scaled Monster's command accept the prepared blood offerings...

Liu Kang immediately went to find Liu Hui and told Liu Hui what the red-scaled Monster had said earlier.

Looking at the jade bottle handed to him by Liu Kang, Liu Hui couldn't help but say with delight, "Good, good! In this way, the hidden danger of 'Breeding Prosperity Marsh' can be resolved. We must inform the Ancestor about this beforehand."

Liu Hui hurriedly went down and returned the jade bottle to Liu Kang, saying happily, "Go quickly, go and wait Transformation-Contemplation Cave. The Ancestor must tell him about this before he comes out."

"Good."

Watching Liu Kang's figure disappear into the distance, Liu Hui, unable to contain his joy, paced back and forth in the hall. After a moment, the joy between his brows froze slightly, and an uneasy thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"The cultivation of 'Valley Water' is for survival under the Dragonkind Overseas. We seek survival to protect the lineage of Lesser Yin cultivators. Now, however, we are being asked to risk Lesser Yin Lineage lives to seek Spirit Object for us... This..."

"Shouldn't brothers from the Aristocratic Clan support and look after each other? The First Lineage has already sacrificed so many people because of 'Breeding Prosperity Marsh,' it's time for the Lesser Yin Lineage to make the sacrifice."

"But if the Lesser Yin Lineage has to make sacrifices, why have we borne the Breeding Prosperity Marsh's for so many years?"

Thinking of this, Liu Hui's expression grew increasingly grim.

He dared not think about it any further.

His single act of selfishness or selflessness foreshadows a potentially irreconcilable conflict between the two lineages, especially for that patriarch.

He knew that Liu Cuo was cold-hearted and devoted to cultivation.

He also supported using children born to his First Lineage to forge weapons.

But someone like Liu Cuo would never remember this favor, nor would he think there was anything wrong with First Lineage's contribution. He would only take it for granted. If he heard Flood Dragon Palace's instructions, he would remember the thoughts that had arisen in his mind earlier.

Given Liu Cuo's personality, he probably wouldn't agree to let the Lesser Yin Lineage members go into danger.

But he disagreed, and the other members of the First Lineage who knew about it would probably cause a huge uproar.

At that time, it will only be eight words:

Brothers turned against each other, siblings killed one another.

A chill ran down Liu Hui's spine. He quickly tried to send someone to call Liu Kang back, but realized his mistake as soon as he opened his mouth. He had no suitable excuse to send someone to call Liu Kang back, and if someone else went, Liu Kang might let something slip without knowing the truth.

What reason will he use to quell the public outcry?

As the Household Head, it's understandable that he might have some dirty thoughts for the sake of the Lineage.

But if he let his dirty thoughts slip, it would only push things in the direction he wanted. So he hurriedly left the main hall to chase after Liu Kang.
