Red Talisman Iron Token Transmits Immortal Method, Sea of Fire Hides Books to Refine Wujing Essence
"Senior, how can you do this?"
Heng Hua quickly dodged and called out to Howling Fish to prepare clothes for Li Nanxing.
Zhou Xiao sat to the side and chuckled, "You saved his life and helped him achieve Dao. What's wrong with accepting his bow?"
Seeing Li Nanxing so humble, Zhou Xiao felt a secret surge of satisfaction.
You pester me all day. Once I bring Fu Tongjun into my sect, won't you have to call me Ancestor Master?
Zhou Xiao said, "In our Jinfang, this kind of grace of enlightenment and Dao transmission, what is calling you 'Teacher' worth? If this brat chooses your Cultivation Method to cultivate in the future, let alone him, even all his later generation successors should call you 'Ancestor'."
This grace of opening Dao and transmitting Dharma carries immense karma in the Immortal Dao.
Heng Hua's heart stirred, his Dao Heart sensing something.
After Li Nanxing cultivated the Five Elements Core Formation Technique, he indeed had a faint Master-Disciple Affinity with him.
Zhou Xiao said to the neatly dressed Li Nanxing, "Don't think it's shabby. The Cultivation Method this kid passed to you has the foundation of an Immortal Incantation, much more advanced than your original Great White Profound Gold Art."
Li Nanxing remained silent. Having personally cultivated the Five Elements Core Formation Technique, his feelings ran deeper than Zhou Xiao's.
Originally, his cultivation of the Gold Method, while seemingly powerful, relied on his False Core to contend with Golden Core Cultivators. But he knew his own situation. His body was already undergoing Golden Transformation. If he couldn't break through to Golden Core soon and suppress the Golden Qi with the power of a Golden Core, his future would inevitably be Qi Deviation and transforming into a Golden Man.
The newly cultivated "Five Elements Core Formation Technique" not only resolved the drawbacks of Qi Deviation but also gave him hope of forming an Upper Three Grades Golden Core.
At this moment, a red light shone from the furnace, flying directly towards Heng Hua.
Heng Hua's expression remained calm. He retracted his Mind Monkey into his body while holding the Iron Scroll and the Mud Block in his hands.
The Iron Scroll had the words "Yun Lie" written on it in Red Talisman Dao Seal script. Auspicious clouds swirled, Spiritual Light shone brilliantly, and faint wonderful sounds emanated from the Iron Scroll.
Clearly, this was a True Transmission Dao Book of the Heaven Book Earth Canon level.
Zhou Xiao said, "This Iron Scroll should be the legendary Cloud Fierce Red Talisman Book, right?"
The Chronicles of the Divine Land Immortals states: "Yun Lie Hermit, lived for two thousand years, once served as an official. In his sixty year cycle, he resigned his post and traveled. He arrived at the foot of Yun Lie Mountain, saw a large stone with clear shade, and lay down to sleep. In a dream, he met a Heavenly Maiden who guided him. Upon waking, he broke the stone and obtained three scrolls of Red Talisman Books. Later, he attained enlightenment in the Immortal Dao and passed it down through the Yun Lie Lineage."
"It is indeed a Red Talisman Book."
Heng Hua: "My family records state that the Yun Lie Immortal Palace passed down a type of Red Talisman Script, which is different from the Spirit Seals passed down in the Divine Land."
He tried to read it, but the Red Talisman Book was sealed by a Prohibition Spell. Only True Qi of the same origin could activate it.
Fu Heyi and Fu Xiangfeng's expressions changed simultaneously as they thought of something: If we had the complete Earthly Scripture Immortal Art, could our Fu Family's Cultivation Method be perfected?
Zhou Xiao: "I heard the Red Talisman Book describes the methods of the Fire Immortal and the method of swallowing clouds. It should be helpful to your Grandfather."
Heng Hua stroked the cloud patterns on the Iron Scroll.
With his extensive knowledge from reading various books and translating Dao Methods, he could naturally see that the cloud patterns on the surface of the Iron Scroll were a method of drawing Qi and swallowing clouds.
Heng Hua secretly thought: This should be the foundational part of the Yun Lie Dao Method. Only by cultivating Cloud Fierce True Qi through the Qi Cultivation Technique can the Red Talisman Iron Token be activated, revealing the Immortal Incantations within. However, doing so would mean taking on the great responsibility of reviving the Yun Lie Immortal Palace.
Because he possessed the Creation Yuan Convergence Technique, although Heng Hua was curious about the Earthly Scripture Immortal Art, he only intended to reference it to determine Cultivation Methods for himself and his Grandfather, not to inherit another sect's Dao Lineage.
Zhou Xiao's gaze swept over the people on the island, and he chuckled, "I just divined a hexagram, and there is a Fated Person of Yun Lie among the people on the island now. Take it back tonight to study, and tomorrow morning, open the altar to preach the Dao. Pass down the Red Talisman Book and let them reopen the Immortal Palace Dao Lineage."
This way, Heng Hua could read the Earth Canon without getting entangled in the revival of the Yun Lie Immortal Palace.
Heng Hua nodded silently, his hand hidden in his sleeve clenching the Mud Block.
Suppressing the urge to examine it on the spot, he summoned Xu Wenyu and the others back.
Upon hearing that they could cultivate Immortal Incantations, everyone was overjoyed and readily followed the Fu Family members' instructions.
As it was late, Eternal Longevity and Howling Fish brought the Cai Luan Spirit Boat up from the bottom of the water. The group decided to stay on the island for another night.
Besides preparing a room for Li Nanxing, Xu Wenyu and the others couldn't be left in the prison cells anymore. Fortunately, after Fu Heyi came out, the houses on the side of the side boat could be used. Howling Fish spent some effort to settle everyone properly.
Returning to Heng Hua's room, she saw him examining the Mud Block.
"Young Master, this Mud Block?"
"This is the Essence of Wutu. Among the Five Elements, Fire can generate Earth. The volcanoes in the Cloud Fierce Mountain Range contain a thousand years of fire power, nurturing this mass of Essence of Wutu. It can be used to cultivate Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Plants."
"Panlong Wood?"
Heng Hua nodded slightly.
If Baihuang Hall could still control Panlong Island, this Essence of Wutu could be used to nourish the Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Roots on Panlong Island.
But what truly made Heng Hua ponder was not this Mud Block, but the volcanic crater.
A thousand years of fire power should not only produce this single mass of Essence of Wutu.
"Howling Fish, please take extra care of the people on the boat later. I need to go out for a bit."
"Go out?"
Howling Fish looked at the sky, "It might not be safe for Young Master to go out alone."
"It's fine."
Heng Hua changed into the big red tunic prepared by Zhang Qiulan.
"I'm going to explore inside the volcano. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Waving his feather fan, Heng Hua said, "With this fan, mere flames can't harm me."
"Also, there are too many outsiders on the boat. Although they are willing to listen to my sermon tomorrow, we can't leave without some manpower for defense."
Afterward, Heng Hua drew a Spirit Concealment Talisman on himself and climbed out the window.
Howling Fish was worried but dared not alert the others, so it could only go find Eternal Longevity to wait together.
"It's rare to act alone."
Heng Hua rode the wind and arrived at the volcanic crater under the cover of night.
After an eruption, the lava within the volcano gradually subsided, no longer as restless as it was during the day.
"Hey—"
As soon as Heng Hua arrived, Fu Xuanxing leaped down on his sword.
"Why are you here?"
"Martial Uncle guessed you would come to the volcano for an opportunity and sent me to help you."
"Then is he alone in the room?"
Suddenly, Heng Hua observed Fu Xuanxing carefully and gripped his fan tighter.
This guy runs around with the Heavenly Demon Six Desires Pearl every day, isn't he afraid of being bewitched?
"Senior Li is chatting with my Martial Uncle."
Li Nanxing had let go of his inhibitions and was reminiscing with Zhou Xiao about the past few hundred years. Fu Xuanxing was unwilling to disturb them.
"Senior Zhou really noticed."
Heng Hua sighed.
It makes sense. Senior Zhou saw the Iron Scroll appear and saw me put away the Essence of Wutu. How could he not have any thoughts?
The volcano has accumulated thousands of years of Fire Power. It shouldn't have just this little Essence of Wutu. Moreover, the Iron Scroll flying out of the volcano indicates that the Cloud Fierce Immortal Palace had prepared long ago. Then, what else might they have left behind?
The feather fan gently swayed, and a gust of wind enveloped Fu Xuanxing and Heng Hua.
"You are also skilled in using Li Fire. Use your Magical Power to set up another layer of barrier."
Fu Xuanxing activated his Magical Power, and a red light shield appeared outside the clear wind.
As the light shield slowly descended, heatwaves gradually surged upwards.
The two dared not go deeper, so they landed on a protruding stone.
Heng Hua held the Essence of Wutu, silently circulating the Tianyi Algorithm and the Spirit Sense Mystical Technique, searching for a trace of earth qi of the same origin amidst the vast fiery qi.
"That position." Thousand Strands Silk shot towards the lava sea below and pulled out a large mass of black mud.
However, the power of the Earth Fire was formidable, quickly burning away Heng Hua's True Qi threads.
"That mass of mud—can we just take it directly?"
Fu Xuanxing slapped two talismans onto himself and leaped directly into the fire.
"You—"
To his surprise, the youth moved as if he were in water, completely unfazed by the heat of the lava. He stepped across the lava, then plunged into the sea of fire and pushed up a large chunk of black mud.
Heng Hua marveled inwardly, "Although I can see his Cultivation Method is of the 'Water Fire Enters Yin Yang' style, how can a mere cultivator in the True Fire Realm have such high attainments in the Fire Dao, unafraid even of Earth Fire?"
Within this volcano, thousands of years of Fire Power had accumulated. At the very bottom burned the unceasing Earth Lung Poison Fire.
"Hey, catch."
The youth raised the mud and hurled it at Heng Hua.
Heng Hua quickly fanned his Sparrow Feather Fan, and a gust of wind swept up the black mud, forcefully pushing it to the volcanic crater.
"Come up."
Thousand Strands Silk pulled Fu Xuanxing up.
Seeing the youth's clothes neat and even his hair not scorched at all, Heng Hua fell into thought.
"You're surprised I'm not afraid of fire?"
The youth casually brushed off the dust, "My physique has been like this since I was young. I heard that when I was a child, I was fooling around and ran into my Martial Uncle's Alchemy Furnace to play hide-and-seek, and my Fire Repelling Physique was formed by the furnace fire."
Good heavens, another one who crawled into an alchemy furnace?
Thinking of Li Nanxing, and then recalling his own Mind Monkey, Heng Hua shook his head and said no more.
The two returned to the volcanic crater, and Heng Hua examined the mass of black mud.
The black mud was nearly two zhang in diameter, with a thick layer of Thousand Year Earth Fire Mud on the surface.
After asking Fu Xuanxing to cut it open, masses of Essence of Wutu were revealed inside.
However, when the item at the very center was revealed, Heng Hua's expression completely changed.
A big redwood box.
If he hadn't personally retrieved this item from the bottom of the volcano, Heng Hua would have suspected it was the one from the Langhuan Pavilion.
"What is this?"
Fu Xuanxing slashed the Golden Lock with his sword and opened the Wooden Box.
Staring at the broken Golden Lock, Heng Hua's eyelids twitched.
Well, even the specifications of the Golden Lock are exactly the same.
"Are there books in here too?"
Fu Xuanxing picked up one of them.
"Huh? It's not a Daoist scripture from the Cloud Fierce Sect."
Even after more than a thousand years, the books inside were still well-preserved.
Fu Xuanxing flipped through a few pages casually: "These are Mortal Books. Why would the Seniors of the Cloud Fierce Immortal Palace be so interested in collecting so many Mortal Books?"
Heng Hua silently picked up a book.
"..." He quickly closed it and threw the books Fu Xuanxing was holding back into the Redwood Box.
"Since they're Mortal Books, don't worry about them. Let's split this Essence of Wutu between us. As for this Book Box, give it to me."
As compensation, Heng Hua intended to give Fu Xuanxing more Essence of Wutu.
But Fu Xuanxing shook his head. "Martial Uncle sent me here to help you find an Opportunity. Keep these things. As for the Essence of Wutu... I don't plant trees or grow flowers, so it's useless to me."
Seeing the Youth's magnanimity, Heng Hua felt even more unwilling to take advantage of him. So, he decided to impart the Profound Heaven Sect's Spirit Sense Mystical Technique to him.
"This is a Profound Heaven Sect Secret Technique I obtained by chance, it will be helpful to you."
Then, he asked Fu Xuanxing to carry the Redwood Box back to the Spirit Boat, and Heng Hua closed the door to read.
The first book, there it is.
The second book. There it is.
The third book, there it is too!
Heng Hua's expression changed.
This Big Red Wooden Box, just like his Mother's Relic, contained Mortal Books, but hidden within were numerous Wicked Arts and Taboos.
One of the books even detailed the Sacrificial Refinement of the Evil Soul Cult's "Mother-Child Yin Yang Stele" and its related Application Methods.
"What exactly are these Redwood Boxes?"
