"Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light"
It's 9:00 AM, and there's still the fifth watch to go.
--
When Li Fuchan reappeared, he was already in the sky above the sea area where Liu Cuo had intercepted and killed Zhang Yuanqing years ago.
Liu Cuo left in a hurry back then, without even taking Zhang Yuanqing's Storage Bag. Now, the Storage Bag and Storage Bag contents have long been taken by the people of Looking Seaward Tower disguised as Rogue Cultivator.
How did Li Fuchan know?
Just now, he had witnessed from the clouds that two cultivators from Looking Seaward Tower changed into robes resembling those of Rogue Cultivator and put on a good act in front of a group of cultivators who had come after hearing the news.
One of them snatched the Pill Furnace left behind by Zhang Yuanqing and pretended to flee. The other chased after him and they started fighting in mid-air. One shouted, "I saw this first!" The other sneered, "Let's see if it can satisfy you." Swords flashed and palms flew, making for a lively fight, but every move missed its mark.
Several rogue cultivators who had initially intended to take advantage of the situation were deterred by the Rogue Cultivator of power and retreated.
The two of them fought fiercely all the way back to the Looking Seaward Tower with the Pill Furnace.
Their actions were so deliberate and obvious, blatantly telling others that they were from Looking Seaward Tower. This performance was clearly intended to make people see that they were covering up the theft of the Pill Furnace, and then recognize their identities.
Li Fuchan watched from afar and couldn't help but chuckle, "It's been two years since Zhang Yuanqing died. His Storage Bag has long been divided up, yet this Pill Furnace is still floating at sea? Fishing so blatantly, what kind of fool would take the bait?"
The thought had barely formed in his mind when he suddenly detected a telepathic message in the Outer Scenery: "I've been searching for this Pill Furnace for so long, only to have Looking Seaward Tower get there first. It's a pity their methods are too weak; I saw through their identities. In that case, I'll go investigate Looking Seaward Tower tonight. I humbly request Brother Huang's assistance."
Following his senses, Li Fuchan glanced down and saw a young man in red staring intently in the direction the Looking Seaward Tower cultivator had gone, his eyes filled with determination.
He withdrew his gaze, his face expressionless.
There really are some fools.
Li Fuchan didn't bother to think too much about what this person could possibly be that Looking Seaward Tower would go to such lengths to set up a trap for. He casually found a deserted island, set up a quiet room, and planned to go into seclusion to sort out his current cultivation.
This time, he almost suffered a huge loss in the Tribulation Divination.
Looking into the depths of one's consciousness at the dense, overwhelming Tribulation Qi, though it remained in a state of chaos and had not yet manifested any form, it still sent chills down one's spine.
With so much Tribulation Qi accumulating on his body, even if he doesn't unleash it, it will inevitably push him into some quagmire and trouble.
Moreover, this time, he used Tribulation Divination to cause "Muffled Crow in Ambush" to collapse and "Li Thunder" to lose most of his Dao Attainment.
He had originally planned to convert 40% of his "Leaving Thunder" cultivation into Lesser Yin cultivation, so that he could soon return to the Inner Realm.
Now that idea is shattered.
He even wanted to use his Inner Vision cultivation to play the fool Overseas, but that's probably not going to work now. With his current foundation, if he really tried to play the fool, he might end up actually becoming a fool.
The only gain this time was to completely eliminate the influence of "Li Thunder" on him.
In addition, taking advantage of the lull in the Tribulation Divination of attacking Evening Yin Island, he searched the island's secret vault and used the Perfected Treasure Light to inscribe several Lesser Yin Law Technique.
At least we didn't leave empty-handed.
Looking at the dense mass of Tribulation Qi deep within his consciousness, Li Fuchan murmured, "Without the 'Li Thunder,' refining the Tribulation Qi can only rely on Lesser Yin. Lesser Yin governs water and fire, and the interaction between the two is feasible, but relying solely on the water and fire of the human body is probably not enough."
Li Fuchan absolutely must refine the Tribulation Qi. Currently, apart from the "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" that corresponds to his destiny, he does not possess any other Register Qi belonging to the Lesser Yin path.
What's the point of cultivation if it doesn't grant you extraordinary abilities?
"The Lesser Yin Dao harmonizes water and fire. Most of the Water Virtue in the world are subject to the control of Lesser Yin. I would be best off finding spiritual water from the 'Kan Water' Dao and spiritual fire from the 'Di Fire' Dao, using the Lunar Soul to bind them, refining them with water and burning them with fire. This would greatly increase their refining power and also enhance my own abilities."
There's no rush for this. After all, Li Fuchan already has a wisp of Tribulation Qi that he's about to refine deep within his consciousness. Now that he's using Lesser Yin Law Power to refine it, although it's much slower, he'll be able to obtain another wisp of Tribulation Qi within at least five years.
The rest is about cultivating the form and meaning of "Autumn Moon Joining Frost".
Lesser Yin is represented by lower Yang and upper Yin, with Yang hidden inside and Yin manifest outside. Its principle is that Yang turns to decline and Yin Qi begins to emerge. All things go from stretching out to gathering in, from restlessness to stillness. It is the pivot of the transformation of Yin and Yang, and therefore the way of harmony.
The season corresponds to autumn, the location to the west, and it governs gathering, harvesting, reform, and purification. Therefore, the cultivation of the Yang Aspect of "Autumn Moon Joining Frost" is not like "Li Thunder" which requires fighting and slaying demons to sharpen one's edge. Instead, it emphasizes quiet cultivation and harmony.
In early and late autumn, one should choose a clear night, when the moon is at its waning phase, to burn incense and, when the mind is clear, look out at the Outer Scenery.
In the surrounding Outer Scenery, the Lunar Soul replaced the cold and solemn autumn moon. As the Lesser Yin Law Power flowed around him, it naturally condensed into a frosty atmosphere, like a silver veil covering the ground, giving rise to a chill.
At that time, the room will be filled with white light, and there will be no chirping of insects, only the frost and moon shining brightly, clear and cold, just the right time for cultivation.
This step is also known as "Sacrificial Rite".
"This is true spiritual practice."
Li Fuchan sighed.
I felt that the days I had lived before were incredibly hard, practically a living hell.
He didn't rush into practicing cultivation.
Instead, he took out paper and pen from his Storage Bag, intending to memorize the Law Technique he had written down during the Tribulation Divination. Among these Law Techniques, the only ones that caught his eye were "Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light" and "Shaoling Sword Scripture".
The Law Technique "Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light" is of a high grade, being a fourth-grade Law Technique.
Wutu mediates in the middle, restrains Guiyin, and rises Shaoyin's king fire. Wugui combines to transform into mild fire. It is the embodiment of Shaoyin's "water and fire balance"
Essentially, it uses the Wu Earth element to bind the Yin energy of the Gui, preventing it from becoming cold and dissipating. Through the Earth element, it allows the Yin energy to generate a warm and subtle fire within itself. The Yin and Yang energies intertwine and merge into a single Spell Light, which is used to defend against enemies, protect, and harmonize the water and fire within the body.
As for the "Shaoling Sword Scripture," this sword manual only has three grades, and the highest one can cultivate Sword Essence. However, since he has a foundation in cultivating the "Thunder Escape Sword Art," he can easily switch to it and succeed.
However, his intention was to use the Thunder Escape Sword Art to make up for the shortcomings of the Shaoling Sword Scripture. After all, the Thunder Escape Sword Art and "Li Thunder" are not actually related, or rather, the way of the sword has nothing to do with the Three Thunders.
He had finally mastered Sword Qi and witnessed the destructive power of the sword, so how could he easily give up the "Thunder Escape Sword Art"?
However, his swordsmanship Dao Attainment are still too low to accomplish this.
"There's no need to go to great lengths for what's near at hand. The key right now is to quickly accumulate the foundation of form and meaning, replenish your Life Force, and achieve Outer Scenery Great Accomplishment as soon as possible."
Li Fuchan put the refined Lesser Yin Law Technique back into his Storage Bag.
He then began to practice the "Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic".
