Lin Yu concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit, condensing the warm Spiritual Power from the initial formation of the Five Elements at his fingertips. This Spiritual Power, which shared the same origin as the Five Elements Immortal Bamboo, enveloped the Immortal Bamboo.
The bamboo seemed to possess sentience, its body instantly emitting five faint lights of green, red, white, blue, and yellow, respectively echoing the five elements of wood, fire, metal, water, and earth within his five internal organs.
Lin Yu slowly raised his hand, palm facing upwards, and silently recited the mental cultivation method. His five internal organs vibrated simultaneously, and five streams of the five elements flowed out from his heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen, weaving into a five-colored light net above his chest.
The light net emitted a gentle suction, drawing the Five Elements Immortal Bamboo closer and closer, and the bamboo grew smaller and smaller as it got closer.
The bamboo stalk passed through the skin and flesh without any obstruction, merging into the body along with the light net.
Once the immortal bamboo had fully entered, Lin Yu immediately gathered the five elements of energy, transforming the light net into a thin yet resilient spiritual platform, which was firmly placed on top of his internal organs.
The bamboo stalk hangs in the center of the spiritual platform. As the bamboo stalk trembles slightly, five faint lights continuously flow with the five elements of the five internal organs below. This not only does not oppress the internal organs, but also continuously releases the original spiritual energy, making his aura increasingly profound and enduring.
"Phew~ It's done!"
Only then did Lin Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief; he had unknowingly completed this massive project.
It's thrilling to think about. Luckily, he was fortunate that the Five Elements Laws within the Immortal Bamboo did not resist during the process; otherwise, a single Law Shock would have reduced him to ashes.
Not to mention he also came up with five rules.
"Gurgle~!"
Now it was time to welcome the big guys. Lin Yu swallowed hard; he was prepared to die.
"True Lord, if anything happens to me, this may be the last incense I offer you. Please bless me." After offering incense to the True Lord, Lin Yu also immersed his Divine Sense into the Chat Group.
"Could you isolate the Chat Group from the outside world and prevent the aura of the Innate Xirang from leaking out?"
I checked the Chat Group; if that doesn't work, I can only ask my master. If my master doesn't work either, then I can only ask the True Lord.
[Isolating Heaven and Earth and obscuring Heavenly Secrets requires 500,000 points]
"Five hundred thousand! Why don't you just rob someone?!"
"Master, save me--!"
He decided to ask the people around him first. "You charged me 500,000 for blocking a secret? Even a shrewd businessman wouldn't do something so exploitative."
"What kind of demon dares to cause trouble here!"
In the blink of an eye, Uncle Nine had already put on his Daoist robe and appeared in Lin Yu's room with a wooden sword in his hand.
"Calm down, Master. There are no demons. I just wanted to ask you if you have any way to conceal your presence?"
Lin Yu's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected that a simple request for help would actually provide emergency assistance for Uncle Nine.
"Shield your aura? That's easy, just use any Aura-Concealing Talisman."
Although no danger was detected, Uncle Nine remained vigilant and still held the wooden sword in his hand.
"What about a treasure like the Innate Xirang?"
"That won't work. Aura-Concealing Talisman are completely ineffective against that kind of treasure, not even the highest-grade gold talisman..."
Uncle Nine was speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Could it be that his disciple had obtained Innate Xirang? Otherwise, why would his disciple be asking him?
"That's right, Master, you're absolutely right. Master, do you have a solution?"
Seeing that his master had realized what was happening, Lin Yu asked helplessly.
Sigh~ None of my family members understand. We snatched the treasure, but we don't have the strength to use it at all.
"How could you... Never mind, I'm not confident I can prevent it from emitting any aura. Perhaps I should send a message back to Maoshan and ask the patriarchs."
Uncle Nine had never seen such a treasure before, and he couldn't guarantee that with his current strength, he could completely seal it off.
"It's too late, let's ask the True Lord."
By the time Lin Yu sent the message back, it would be too late. However, Lin Yu didn't dare to gamble on Uncle Nine's strength, so he could only turn his attention to True Lord.
"We respectfully invite the True Lord!"
Lin Yu knelt before the clay statue of the True Lord, performing the Deity-Invoking Method.
Uncle Nine was also standing to the side, making the Ziwu Hand Seal with his hands, raising them high above his head.
The clay statue trembled slightly, a sign of His arrival.
"This disciple has by chance obtained a pinch of Xirang; I humbly request that the True Lord bestow upon me a method to shield the aura of this treasure."
After a few seconds of silence, a beam of light shot out from the Heavenly Eye of the clay statue, and a figure appeared.
The figure was half-illusory and half-real, surrounded by a pale golden halo, and its brows and eyes exuded a dignified and righteous aura. It was none other than the Faxiang of the True Lord.
Lin Yu and Uncle Nine quickly bowed and kowtowed. Uncle Nine's hands remained clenched in the Ziwu Hand Seal, and fine sweat had already seeped from his forehead.
Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly took out the Innate Xirang from the red envelope.
As soon as it was taken out of the red envelope, a heavy and powerful aura suddenly spread out.
The space seemed to be covered with ripples, spreading outwards like water waves.
The clump of Xirang was no bigger than a thumb, yet it shone with a warm, earthy yellow glow, as if it had condensed the rich spiritual energy from the beginning of time.
Seeing that this aura was about to spread, the True Lord's Faxiang Image narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to press down on the Xirang.
A pale golden light shield instantly formed, enveloping the Xirang Soil like an inverted glass bowl. The heavy aura that was spreading outward collided with the light shield and suddenly contracted like a tide hitting a dam, even calming the ripples in the space.
"I see that you already possess a celestial bamboo within you. Do you also wish for this Xirang to be like that celestial bamboo?"
The voice seemed to come from the clouds, steady and clear.
"Your Excellency is truly knowledgeable and experienced. Just as you have predicted, I dare to emulate the method of storing the Five Elements Immortal Bamboo."
"By utilizing the earth elemental essence of the spleen and internal organs as a foundation, this Xirang is incorporated into the spleen and internal organs, allowing the innate earth energy of the Xirang of Earth to nourish each other with the spleen's transformative power. This not only securely stores the treasure but also helps the disciple solidify their own foundation."
Lin Yu revealed his method. For someone of His level, concealing the truth would be a bad strategy, because only by telling Him the truth could He come up with a corresponding solution; concealment would only backfire.
"You have quite a clever idea. The spleen is the 'official in charge of granaries,' so it is indeed suitable to support this Innate Xirang."
"However, the Xirang is a primordial treasure, containing an excessively rich earth element. Directly incorporating it with your current cultivation level might burden your spleen and internal organs."
After speaking, the True Lord pondered for a moment, "I will use my magic power to harmonize it, and then use a strand of my magic power to lock the Xirang, turning it into the size of a mustard seed, so that you can successfully incorporate it into your Spleen Palace. As your cultivation increases in the future, this shackle will gradually unlock."
"Thank you, True Lord." Upon hearing this, Lin Yu was instantly filled with lingering fear. If he had spent his points back then, he would probably have been crushed to death by this Xirang by now.
The True Lord's Faxiang nodded slightly, raising his hand to grasp the Xirang in Lin Yu's palm.
A stream of pale golden magical power poured down, enveloping the clump of Innate Xirang that shimmered with an earthy yellow glow.
The originally heavy and almost collapsing Xirang slowly shrank in the golden light. The yellow halo gradually receded, and its volume shrank accordingly. In a short while, it turned into a small, smooth, yellowish-brown light spot, no bigger than a pinhead. The heavy earthy atmosphere around it was firmly locked in by the golden light, and no more of it leaked out.
