"Looks like Master Luo also left a trick up his sleeve for his personal disciple. He didn't tell Bai Xiaotian that the Pure Yang Sword Technique was split into two volumes. That's why he only knew of the existence of the first volume's twelve layers, but didn't know that the latter volume had nine layers of mnemonics. "Shen Luo murmured to himself.
According to the manual, the highest level one could reach was the later stage of enlightenment after cultivating both the first and second volumes of the manual.
After cultivating the Nameless Art and the Yellow Court Scripture in his dreams, Shen Luo's horizons had increased by quite a bit.
As for the contents of the first volume of the manual, he read it especially carefully. He found that other than the last two layers of mnemonics, the contents of the first volume weren't too profound. At least, it was much simpler than the contents of the Yellow Court Scripture. He could vaguely feel that the manual contained a kind of righteous and peaceful aura.
In comparison, the Nameless Art was like a winding river and waterway, while the Pure Yang Sword Technique was like a straight and wide road.
Shen Luo continued to read the rest of the text. He found that after the second volume of the manual, there were a few other techniques, such as the "Yang Qi Forbidden Ghost Technique" and the "Yin Flame Burning Technique".
Generally speaking, it was based on the Pure Yang Sword Technique, which combined mana and Yang energy. It was specialized in expelling ghosts, and had an innate suppressive effect on ghosts and ghosts.
After that, the Pure Yang Treasure Book also recorded a method of refining a Pure Yang Talisman Sword.
According to this method, a cultivator could refine a Pure Yang Talisman Sword with different attributes according to different materials.
Once a cultivator broke through to the Fasting Stage, they could refine a commonly used talisman sword into a Pure Yang Sword Embryo through a secret method. They could carry it with them and slowly cultivate it with their own Essence Qi.
At the beginning, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo was relatively weak. It was different from a normal magic weapon and couldn't be used to fight. However, once it absorbed its owner's Essence Qi for a long time and cultivated spirituality, the sword would be able to surpass normal magic weapons of the same level.
Furthermore, because it contained pure Yang Qi, it was extremely powerful against ghosts.
However, these were not the points that Shen Luo valued the most. What he cared about the most was the enormous potential that this Pure Yang Sword Embryo retained. Because it was closely related to its owner, as long as its owner's cultivation continued to improve and its lifespan was long enough, in theory, it could advance to become a legendary magic treasure.
According to his rough understanding, the power of magic treasures was beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators. Magic tools could not be compared to magic treasures at all. It was also a treasure that countless cultivator sects dreamed of having.
"If I really want to refine a Talisman Sword, based on the attributes of the pure Yang sword embryo, it would be best to use materials with the attributes of wood and gold …" Shen Luo stroked his chin and began to plan how to refine a Talisman Sword.
After the refining method of the Pure Yang Talisman Sword, there was a last paragraph of content. It recorded a magical ability called "Great Skin Opening Technique". Not only was its name strange, its function was even more bizarre.
According to the cultivation technique, once the cultivator mastered this technique, he would not die even if his stomach was cut open, and his bones and limbs would be regenerated. Even if he was beheaded and had his heart dug out, he would be able to recover in the blink of an eye after mastering this technique.
"It's so powerful, I wonder if it's true or false?" Shen Luo also felt that this technique was too inconceivable and had some doubts.
However, he did not have the opportunity to verify it at the moment because this magical ability was not something that he could cultivate in his current realm. The technique clearly stated that unless one was an Out-of-Body Cultivator, one could not easily try it.
There was too much content recorded in the Pure Yang Treasure Book and it was quite heterogeneous. After Shen Luo finished reading, it took him a while to remember it all.
After that, it took him a while to suppress other thoughts. He carefully recalled all the chants of the first volume of the Pure Yang Sword Tactics. His hands were in front of him as he quietly adjusted his breath.
After a while, his hands changed as he chanted the first level of the Pure Yang Sword Tactics in his heart.
Immediately afterward, the spiritual power in his dantian was restless. A rather hot aura rose from it along the Ren Meridian in front of his body all the way to the Shanzhong point and spread around his chest.
As soon as this heat spread, Shen Luo felt a burst of stuffiness in his chest. His whole body began to feel hot and unbearable. He had to immediately stop and turn to the nameless technique.
As the Nameless Divine Art stirred up a cool and refreshing Qi, it slowly spread throughout his body. Only then did the burning sensation gradually dissipate.
"It seems that I was too arrogant before. Although the chants of the Pure Yang Sword Tactics are easy to understand, the operation of the technique is not simple. It is really not so easy to control the spiritual power and supplement it with Yang Gang Qi." Shen Luo secretly thought in his heart.
From the current unfavorable situation, his progress in cultivating the Pure Yang Sword Tactics was probably not much faster than the Yellow Court Scripture. Fortunately, there was no need to cultivate this technique to nurture the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. As long as there was Yang Gang Qi and a sufficient realm, it would be fine.
"Right now, raising my realm and increasing my lifespan is the right thing to do. I should concentrate on cultivating the nameless technique first. However, I can try to cultivate this Pure Yang Talisman Sword. "Shen Luo muttered.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
After Shen Luo pushed open the door, he went straight to Bai Xiaotian's side. He saw that his door was open and he was already dressed neatly, looking like he was about to go out.
"Are you going out?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.
"There are some problems with the business managed by the third branch. Father asked me to take a look." Bai Xiaotian's face was gloomy, as if he had a lot on his mind.
"I thought you were never interested in this kind of thing. Why did he ask you to take a look?" Shen Luo was a little surprised.
"If it was a business matter, I would naturally not be asked to take care of it. However, there was a murder case over there and the death was a little strange." Bai Xiaotian said helplessly.
"Is it over at the Eight Yang Restaurant? What happened? "Shen Luo frowned and asked.
"It's not the Eight Yang Restaurant. It's … the Water Heating Pavilion." Bai Xiaotian's expression was a little awkward. He hesitated for a while and said.
"Water Heating Pavilion? Isn't that the second largest brothel on the Qinhuai River? Why does your Bai Family have such a business?" Shen Luo's mouth twitched slightly as he said in surprise.
"Cough, cough. The business of my third branch … involves a lot of things." Bai Xiaotian coughed dryly and said.
Seeing this, Shen Luo stopped teasing and continued to ask, "Tell me, what happened?"
"It's like this …" Bai Xiaotian began to explain after he heard that.
It turned out that in the short span of half a month, three lives had been lost in the "Water Heating Pavilion" operated by their family.
First, it was a servant who did odd jobs. Then, it was a cleaner who was not very outstanding. Finally, it was a customer who often came to seek pleasure. All three of them fell into the water and died. When they were found, they were all facing the water, floating on the river outside the Water Heating Pavilion.
Although the Qinhuai River's water flow was gentle, it flowed from west to east. If there were corpses floating on the water, they would have been washed away by the river. However, the strange thing was that these three corpses were all still on the water. None of them floated away with the current. The situation was really strange.
