The Patriarch Laid a Hand upon My Head, Binding My Hair and Granting Me Longevity
"I will keep it in mind!" Lin Yu replied solemnly.
"From what I see, your cultivation method is the 'Jade Maiden and Joy God Technique.' This technique emphasizes leveraging external forces, communicating with Yin Spirit to borrow their abilities, and using their power to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits. It focuses on cultivating Yin Spirit."
"If you rely too much on the external environment during cultivation, and the surrounding environment is filled with evil energy, your cultivation speed will be greatly reduced, and over time this will lead to an unstable foundation."
Great Lord Mao revealed Lin Yu's cultivation method in a single sentence, and could even calculate the difficulties he would encounter in his cultivation.
"The disciple of the patriarch doesn't seem to have an unstable foundation. Could it be something hidden that will suddenly erupt later? Please take a look at me."
Upon hearing that he was facing an unstable foundation, Lin Yu, taking advantage of the presence of the patriarch, immediately sought his help.
"You don't need to be nervous. There's nothing wrong with your technique itself; the problem lies in its 'bias.' The Yin Spirit needs a foundation to function effectively, and you have a primordial treasure within you that can help solidify your foundation, so there's nothing to worry about."
However, after Great Lord Mao finished speaking, his gaze swept over Lin Yu's body, and he slowly raised his hand, condensing a wisp of shimmering white magic power at his fingertips, which hovered in front of Lin Yu's brow. "I will pass on to you the Shangqing Dadong Scripture. This method cultivates the body, and it's perfect for not wasting that innate treasure."
The wisp of magical power slowly seeped into Lin Yu's brow, and he felt a warmth spreading from his Niwan Palace. In this way, a true scripture was engraved into Lin Yu's mind.
The moment Lin Yu received the true scripture, he subconsciously glanced at it, and with just one glance, he entered a state of enlightenment.
His body subconsciously began to circulate the cultivation techniques of the Shangqing Dadong Scripture, and strands of Spiritual Power, like the morning sunlight, were generated within Lin Yu's body.
Warm and hot
When this newly generated masculine Spiritual Power came into contact with the feminine Spiritual Power that Lin Yu had cultivated using the Jade Maiden and Joy God Technique, the two spontaneously intertwined and strengthened each other.
Seeing that Lin Yu had already entered the path, Great Lord Mao's eyes flashed with approval. "Lin Yu, you are exceptionally talented and have great potential. However, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. Remember to guard against arrogance and impatience, and stay true to your original aspirations."
Great Lord Mao also marveled at Lin Yu's talent and intelligence. For an ordinary disciple to cultivate both techniques, it would take at least several years to find the right Qi and make the two techniques compatible.
But Lin Yu finished in no time and could even make the technique operate on its own, which clearly showed that he had comprehended the technique to a high level.
Such geniuses have appeared in only a handful throughout history, but each one has grown to an unparalleled level.
Although this disciple is not from his world, Lin Yu is from his Maoshan, and that is enough.
Upon waking from his cultivation, Lin Yu immediately kowtowed. "Disciple will remember the Ancestral Master's teachings!"
"The Maoshan lineage never cultivates Yin and Yang in isolation." The voice of the Great Lord Mao grew deeper and deeper. "Remember this well: from now on, rise at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) every day, face east, and recite the opening of the * Shangqing Dadong Scripture *. Draw the morning Yang energy into your abdomen, using it to envelop your Primordial Spirit, like covering a candle flame with glass. This will both protect your Primordial Spirit from dissipation and replenish the deficiency of your Yang foundation."
Since the disciple is exceptionally talented, Great Lord Mao is happy to say more to him so that he can avoid some detours.
Having said that, Great Lord Mao produced a bluish-white jade talisman from his sleeve, which landed in Lin Yu's hand. The talisman was inscribed with the four characters "Yin Yang Harmony," and faint light swirled around it. "This was casually crafted by me. If you feel your Yang energy is insufficient when you first start practicing, you can hold the talisman tightly to draw upon its Yang energy. Remember, it is only for emergencies, not for dependency."
Lin Yu took the jade talisman, his eyes instantly lighting up. This was a treasure bestowed by the patriarch, containing the patriarch's magical power!
Lin Yu held the jade talisman in both hands, feeling its warmth. He realized he had gained another life-saving item and quickly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Ancestral Master, for bestowing this treasure."
"Alright, go." With a flick of his whisk, Great Lord Mao lifted Lin Yu's Primordial Spirit up by a gentle yet irresistible force, like a small boat following the golden light, traversing layers of clouds, and returning to his body.
Primordial Spirit entered his body, Lin Yu's physical body, which was lying on the bed, instantly opened its eyes.
He instantly sat up cross-legged, eagerly took out the jade talisman, and examined it carefully. Just like before, it felt warm to the touch, and there was a flowing light inside that moved slowly like gossamer threads. It seemed to be a natural masterpiece and was clearly a rare treasure.
Furthermore, it was already bound to his Primordial Spirit, so unlike the previous Jade Bamboo and Xirang, which required much effort, it could be directly absorbed into his Primordial Spirit.
After the initial excitement subsided, Lin Yu glanced at the time outside the window; it was exactly 3:00 AM, and the sun was about to rise.
This is a perfect opportunity to try out these two cultivation techniques. They are yin and yang, complementing each other perfectly, a match made in heaven.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and began to recite the "Shangqing Dadong Scripture" in his heart. A wisp of yang energy from the rising sun was drawn in and absorbed by Lin Yu along with the spiritual energy.
The moment he absorbed the energy, Lin Yu felt a warmth between his brows, as a ray of warm sunlight flowed down through his Baihui acupoint and surged along his meridians to his dantian.
At the same time, the Jade Maiden and Joy God Technique was quietly activated. The jade talisman at Lin Yu's Primordial Spirit trembled slightly, and the two streams of spiritual energy transformed into a Tai Chi phantom that slowly rotated.
Two streams of energy, one yin and one yang, converge in the dantian, intertwine, and nourish each other.
Lin Yu's body seemed to transform into a furnace, where Yin and Yang energies fused and refined each other, a process that also enhanced Lin Yu's spirit and vitality.
Although slow, it is visible to the naked eye.
As the last wisp of yang energy was drawn into his dantian, Lin Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. His bones emitted a series of fine cracking sounds. At this moment, Lin Yu felt as if he had been reborn.
He opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them.
"This is what cultivating immortality is all about! What kind of miserable life did I live before?"
Lin Yu felt warm all over, and his energy and spirits were higher than ever before.
After personally experiencing the cultivation of the Shangqing Dadong Scripture his own body, he also felt that these different cultivation methods all led to the same goal.
These are all methods of gathering materials.
Gather the essence of heaven and earth to nourish oneself, so as to achieve harmony of body and mind and follow the natural way.
However, in general, advanced cultivation techniques have their unique features. Ordinary techniques can only dream of achieving a yin-yang intersection with the Jade Maiden and Joy God Technique; it's simply impossible.
Looking at the time, Lin Yu realized the sun had already risen. Indeed, cultivation knows no bounds of time. He felt like he had only cultivated for a short while, but several hours had already passed.
Lin Yu stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.
"Xiao Yu, get up!" Xu Xian was already brewing medicine. He and Bai Suzhen also got up very early, before dawn, to divide and brew the medicine and treat the patients.
You deserve to be called a "virtuous person for ten lifetimes," being so tired every day that you don't even have time to cultivate yourself.
Lin Yu complained a bit about Xu Xian, but he also admired this kind-hearted person who was always doing good deeds, and who wasn't a saint, benefiting both himself and others.
"Brother Xu has been nagging me for so many days, it's time for me to go back."
Lin Yu calculated the time; today was already the third day, and it was time for the Teleportation Talisman to return. Staying any longer would cost points, which wasn't worth it.
