The Three Divine Abilities of Lesser Yin

True Lord Chi Sui did not respond to him. He gazed silently at the lingering frost on the Moon-Resting Terrace and remained silent for a long time.

A mountain breeze swept by, and he suddenly spoke, his voice clear yet carrying an indescribable meaning. "Autumn Moon Joining Frost —such a sight has been unseen for a long time."

He turned to look at Li Fuchan and asked, "Do you know what the Dao Fruit that is formed after 'Autumn Moon Joining Frost' is called?"

The "Autumn Union Shaoling Embracing the Alchemy Classic" is an orthodox fourth-grade Method Formula that can be practiced all the way to the Inner Vision, and naturally records the names of the Dao Fruit after the Inner Vision.

Li Fuchan's heart stirred slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "It's 'Suo Geng Shi'."

True Lord Chi Sui nodded and said slowly, "The one who searches is one who gathers the wandering atmosphere of heaven and earth, and hooks out the hidden and concealed vital energy."

"Geng, representing autumn metal, is located in the Shen and You positions. It originates from the west and governs descent, balance, and the separation of pure and impure. It separates Yin and Yang, gathers floating Yang, and governs the Innate Ying and Wei Qi. All wandering, illusory Primordial Spirit and leaking true essence belong to the category governed by Geng Qi."

"The scholar is the scholar of Heaven, the model of spirit, and the embodiment of laws, regulations, and decrees."

True Lord Chi Sui suddenly spoke of this Daoist discourse, it caught Li Fuchan's attention. In a daze, things that he had not understood before were gradually becoming clear.

Something seemed to be gently stirred within his Spirit Platform, and he vaguely gained some understanding; his Dao Attainment had Soundless improved by a few points.

But before he could fully savor it, True Lord Chi Sui's voice rang out again. "This is precisely the Divine Ability I've been missing."

Upon hearing this, Li Fuchan was instantly terrified and froze on the spot. True Lord Chi Sui glanced at him, then suddenly smiled, "What, afraid I'll eat you?"

Li Fuchan's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed, then he lowered his eyes and said, "Lower Cultivator dare not."

A thin layer of frost and snow had settled on True Lord Chi Sui's body. The moonlight shone on his white robes, which should have made him appear pure and otherworldly, but Li Fuchan vaguely felt that he was shrouded in darkness.

It wasn't pure blackness; rather, it was as if something had slightly opened up within it, letting through many fragments of light, like a doorway or a crack, appearing and disappearing behind him, eerie and indescribable.

True Lord Chi Sui seemed oblivious to his gaze and continued speaking to himself, "Unlike 'Suo Geng Shi,' my Azure Ram Temple can obtain two Yang Aspect. One is 'Clouds Embracing Moonlight,' and the other is 'Daylight White Wind.'"

"Daylight White Wind" refers to the midday sun in midsummer, when the yang energy of heaven and earth is at its peak. There is no wind or cloud, yet a thin layer of cool, austere air arises spontaneously, descending from above without lowering the temperature or becoming frigid; it merely smooths away the restless heat of the sun and gathers the floating energy underground. From the earth, a subtle vitality begins to emerge—this is the true mechanism of the summer solstice's yin birth, the Gou hexagram.

He paused slightly, and seeing that Li Fuchan was listening intently again, he continued, "Therefore, the Dao Fruit formed by Clouds Embracing Moonlight's is called 'Night-Splitting Yang,' and when it becomes Divine Ability, it is called 'Nightlight Mansion'; the Dao Fruit formed by 'Daylight White Wind' is called 'Gou Siheng'..."

"Is he preaching to me...?"

Li Fuchan was somewhat incredulous.

Purple-Gold Treasure Light surged within his chest and abdomen, and he did not let this golden opportunity slip by.

All the questions that had puzzled him in the past vanished at this moment. His cultivation of the Lesser Yin Dao Attainment surged. The next moment, the death scene that was still being refined deep in his consciousness suddenly shattered and turned into a wisp of gray smoke.

The Tribulation Qi has been successfully refined. True Lord Chi Sui did not disturb him, allowing Li Fuchan to quietly comprehend the Daoist theories he was expounding. However, his gaze lingered for a moment when it fell upon the Purple-Gold Treasure Light surging from Li Fuchan's chest and abdomen.

As night gradually brightened, Li Fuchan opened his eyes. This time, he did not simply bow to the majesty of the Purple Mansion Lord, but respectfully said, "This junior thanks the True Lord."

True Lord Chi Sui shook his head and said, "No need to thank me. Ordinary people who hear these words will either not understand them and take them lightly, or they will have a splitting headache and feel like they want to die. The fact that you can increase your Dao Attainment after hearing them is your ability."

As he spoke, he suddenly asked, "What do you think of my Xinyun?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuchan's heart stirred.

"Oh no, the True Lord has taken a liking to me."

Ultimately, the problem lies in the Three Lights Method.

The Treasure Light is the light that is complete in its Dharma nature; it can perfect the fruit that is not perfect, and it can integrate the principle that is not integrated.

With the presence of the Treasure Light, Li Fuchan almost never encountered any bottlenecks in his cultivation Cultivation Method. Moreover, at the moment he finished each Tribulation Divination, he would use the "Light-Devouring Method" to absorb the light. Now, apart from the Golden Light, the treasure and bright lights have completely changed their appearance, and are even quite different from what is recorded in the "Three Lights Method".

Now, Treasure Light can help him understand Daoist theories and increase his Dao Attainment.

However, in the eyes of True Lord Chi Sui, that Treasure Light was Li Fuchan's own Dharma nature. The light of Dharma nature was so strong that although it could not be called Dao wisdom, it had already far surpassed worldly wisdom.

"True Lord Chi Sui preached to me, and now it can no longer be explained by mere calculation. The idea that Lesser Yin under Heaven are one family is not just empty talk to him. Especially in his eyes, I am a cultivator who has traveled the world, experienced battles, and faced life and death countless times, yet still refuses to Blood-Consuming Cultivation and cannibalism. It seems that I am going against the tide of this world. Now that I have displayed such a powerful Treasure Light, it is natural that he will look at me differently. However..." In the world today, the Middle Antiquity remnants are most prevalent in Azure Ram Temple. Blood-Consuming Cultivation, do not eat people, do not harm the people, and do not engage in evil and bloody acts.

In Azure Ram Temple, it seems that the Wei Clan will soon be in charge. If he could marry a Direct Lineage, the trust and support he would receive would be immeasurable.

However, Li Fuchan was truly unwilling to marry someone and bind herself to a powerful Lineage within an Immortal Sect.

He was a Rogue Cultivator, living in a world without clan, master, parents, or brothers. He was all alone, free to come and go as he pleased, and could not stand being restrained by anyone.

This was a mixed bag for him.

Ultimately, since the Purple Mansion Lord personally asked, there was no room for him to refuse.

Just as Li Fuchan was about to answer, True Lord Chi Sui said again, "Forget it, your personality is really not suitable for my Xinyun. Let's find someone else."

Upon hearing this, Li Fuchan breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked with a hint of doubt, "Should we change it to another one?"

He cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me True Lord."

True Lord Chi Sui said, "Originally, I was going to send Xin Yun. She is quite talented and her cultivation is not a problem. However, her temperament is not as good as yours. Now that I have seen that you have such wisdom, you are more suitable than her. So, you will lead her there to help me locate the Grotto Heaven."

Li Fuchan became increasingly confused by his explanation, True Lord Chi Sui stopped explaining, "Xin Yun will tell you the whole story. After you've properly digested what you've learned tonight, come see me again in three days."

After saying that, it vanished Soundless before his eyes, as if the figure that had just stood on the Moon-Resting Terrace was nothing more than a phantom formed from moonlight. Where he had been standing, Wei Xinyun's figure slowly reappeared.

She seemed completely unaware of what had just happened, her eyes still bright as she gazed absently at the lingering frost and snow on the stage.
