Zhang Yan looked into his body, and on top of the rippling profound light that floated in his Qi Sea, there was a True Flame that was as small as a grain of rice burning.
This True Fire was formed from the essence of the Mystic Light Realm, and it was the result of his cultivation after breaking through to the third level of the Mystic Light Realm.
At this moment, the trembling acupoint in his body seemed to have been chiseled through. It was emitting a ray of light and a wisp of Yang Qi was slowly separated from the acupoint. The True Fire trembled and slowly absorbed the wisp of Yang Qi as if it was spinning silk from a cocoon.
Zhang Yan circulated his Xuan Qi, and in just a few breaths, this wisp of Yang Qi was absorbed, and the True Fire became stronger.
If he could cultivate this True Fire to a high level and refine it, he would be able to combine the nine medicines and refine a golden pill.
However, the fire right now wasn't enough, so he needed to place this True Fire into the thirty-six acupuncture points in his body and slowly circulate it. Once it burned through the acupuncture points, he would draw out a wisp of Yang Qi to nourish his body until it was like a bright flame. Just Now, he had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.
The more acupuncture points a cultivator burned through, the stronger the True Fire would be, and the more successful they would be in refining their golden pill.
Normally speaking, it was already not bad for normal cultivators to burn through more than half of their acupuncture points. This was because the more they cultivated, the harder it was to open the acupuncture points. At the start, it would only take a month or so to burn through one acupuncture point, but towards the end, it would take ten years or even dozens of years.
Mystic Light Realm cultivators only had a lifespan of three hundred, and not everyone could form a golden pill. Where would they find the time to open all the acupuncture points?
Cultivators that could absorb all the Yang Qi in the thirty-six acupuncture points were all extremely talented and would only appear once in a thousand years.
Just Now, the acupuncture points in Zhang Yan's body were beating. This was the sign of the first acupuncture point being burned through by the True Fire. Seeing that his cultivation was improving without him knowing, he was happy. He moved the True Fire and placed it into the next acupuncture point to slowly refine it.
He slowly opened his eyes and picked up the Zoysia Ancestor's body that was lying on the riverbed.
Although this item was said to be spoiled once it left the soil, he had already prepared a way to deal with it before he came to Mount Qingcun.
He shook his hand and sent a ball of Earth Element Sixth Essence Qi onto it. This qi was something he had obtained from the Clear Feather Sect to refine the Mysterious Yellow Dragon Capturing Hand. With the nourishment of the Earth Essence, the Zoysia Ancestor's shell trembled slightly, and its originally dim surface seemed to have become a little more glossy.
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and took out his Human Pouch. He wrapped the Ganoderma from head to toe and rolled up his sleeves before putting it into the pouch.
After doing this, he was about to cut open his body like last time and expel the strange Qi that had invaded his body. However, just as he raised his hand, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
That green-robed young man's green Qi was really too strange. Just a little bit of it was already so troublesome for him. It was as if he had to cut open his flesh and let out his blood every time. If he really fought with this person for a few hours, who knew how much more strange Qi would invade his body. Could it be that he had to use this method to deal with it?
When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of something and thought to himself, 'Not only can this ball of True Fire in the orifices be used to refine the Gold Core, it also has the ability to cleanse impurities. Once it's released, it'll be extremely powerful. Doesn't that mean it can also be used to expel this strange Qi?'
What he was thinking was actually reasonable. However, this Yang Fire was the key to forming the Gold Core, and it was formed from the innate essence of Yang. Once a person was born, how much they had in their body would be how much they had. Once they lost it, they would not be able to replenish it. Therefore, every cultivator would hide it deep within their body and protect it carefully, not daring to suffer even the slightest bit of damage. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would never release this Yang Fire.
Zhang Yan only felt that since this Yang Fire had such an effect, it would be too much of a waste not to use it. Thus, he intended to test the power of this Yang Fire.
If other people encountered this problem, they would definitely not dare to try this, but he was different. With the broken jade in hand, he could boldly give it a try!
After making up his mind, he closed his eyes and reached into his sleeve. His mind merged with the broken jade, and he began to deduce.
After a few breaths, he opened his eyes again, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
He shouted, and the water around him was suddenly pushed away, separating from him. Then, he urged the Yang Fire to rush towards the strange Qi. It was like boiling water splashing snow. In the blink of an eye, the strange Qi was burned away, leaving only the purest Spiritual Breath.
At this moment, his eyes flashed, and the Yang Fire in his orifices wrapped around the Spiritual Breath. In an instant, they merged together. Not only did it not decrease, but the flame grew a bit stronger.
He nodded slightly. This result was clear to him from the broken jade. As for why it was like this, he could not figure out the reason. He could only conclude that it was because he had cultivated the Divine Contract, which caused his Yang Fire in his orifices to be different from ordinary cultivators.
But then he thought about it again. There was no lack of intelligent people in this world. Although he had never heard of this method to strengthen the Yang Fire, it could be that there was no secret method passed down.
Zhang Yan's guess was not wrong at all.
There were many cultivators in the world who had discovered this method, but they all kept it a secret and were never willing to show it to others.
In this way, one's own family and their disciples would be one step ahead of others. Many aristocratic families that had thousands of years of inheritance also knew of this technique, but they used various methods to conceal it. Even the direct descendants might not know the entire technique.
For example, Zhou Chongju was originally a direct disciple of the Zhou Clan, and the Zhou Clan had this method. But he did not tell Zhang Yan, not because he was selfish, but because this method was divided into internal and external methods. When cultivating, the disciple used the internal method, and the elder used the external method. Only when the two worked together could they succeed, so there was no possibility of it being leaked.
So even if he wanted to teach Zhang Yan, there was no way he could say it. After thinking about it, he even thought that if he said it, it might distract Zhang Yan's mind, so he simply did not mention it.
But even with this method, strengthening the Yang Fire by thirty to forty percent was already the limit. In a situation like Zhang Yan's, as long as there was strange energy entering his body, he could use it for his own use, and thus strengthen the Yang Fire. This was the first and only case.
Zhang Yan pondered in his heart as well. In this way, he could make use of this azure clothed youth, and he might really be able to burn through all 36 apertures.
At this moment, he faintly felt that if he really wanted to become an immortal, this step must not be easily missed, and he must grasp this opportunity tightly.
Just when he was comprehending in his heart, he heard a shrill howl in the sky, and someone shouted, "Li Yuanba, do you think I can't find you by hiding here? Quickly get out here! "
Zhang Yan said in his heart, "You've come at the right time!"
He shook his sleeve, and an unknown amount of water was swept up, and turned into a reverse waterfall that flew straight up to the clouds!
At this moment, in the depths of Mount Duan, in the abode of the Zoysia Ancestor, Pan Yang was coughing up blood all the way as he walked carefully.
The reason he was able to escape from the hands of the azure-clothed youth was all thanks to his vigilance. He asked his brother Pan Qing for the talisman to control the 'Black Jade Carp Horn'. Long before he entered the cave, he ordered the beast to dig a way out of the ground. Thus, he was able to escape in time at the critical moment.
He was also very daring, deducing that if the young man in green had obtained the spiritual item, he would definitely not stay here for long, so he had just escaped and turned back.
He first turned his brother's corpse into a coffin, but he was unwilling to give up, so he returned to the underground to investigate.
After entering the cave, he walked around carefully, looking at the traces left behind by the high-quality medicinal herbs, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
With his eyesight, he could almost instantly tell what kind of item was left behind. He was sure that the spiritual item that emitted a thick Wood Qi was definitely not something these high-quality medicinal herbs could compare to, and this item might be the legendary Zoysia Ancestor's body.
His gaze flickered indeterminately. From the situation in the abode, it seemed that someone else had entered this place from another cave, and the mountain-splitting tremor he heard later seemed to have been caused by the battle between these two people. Thus, the person who obtained the spirit item might not be the green-clothed youth.
Thinking of this, he was unwilling to give up.
This spiritual item was originally discovered by him and his brother together, but it was taken by someone else, and even his brother had lost his life because of it. No matter what, he had to avenge this, and he had to find a way to snatch that spiritual item back!
However, whether it was that young man in green or the person who fought with him, they were not people that he could contend against.
He thought for a while, and his eyes shone with hatred, and said, "If I can't get it, then any one of you will get it."
He first took out a talisman, and used a mysterious light to carve a few words on it. With a clap of his hands, the talisman turned into a long rainbow, and flew away without a trace. Then, he leaped up and headed towards Thousand Feet Peak.
In less than four hours, he arrived at Thousand Feet Peak. This place had long been marked by the Shi Clan, and no one was allowed to enter without disguise. Therefore, after he deliberately revealed himself, he only circled around the peak a few times, and he was seen by the Shi Clan. Immediately, a cultivator flew up to the cloud, and said, "Where are you from? Don't you know that the Shi Clan forbids you from entering this place?"
Pan Yang hurriedly said, "I'm Pan Ming from An Qiu Sect, and I've met Fellow Daoist Shi once before. I'm here to tell you some important matters."
That cultivator saw that he spoke sincerely, and hesitated for a while, and said, "Please wait for a moment." Then, he went into the depths of the peak.
In less than a moment, he turned back, and said, "Fellow Daoist, follow me."
Pan Yang made up his mind, and followed that cultivator into a dense forest. After crossing a mountain stream, on a cliff, he saw Shi Yifan sitting on a big rock from afar, and there were a dozen servants beside him. Pan Yang quickly descended the cloud, and went forward to greet him.
Shi Yifan was a lazy person, and after taking a look at him, he didn't even put down the whip in his hand, and casually cupped his hands at him, and said, "Fellow Daoist Pan, what brings you here?"
Pan Yang looked to his left and right. His lips moved, and he spilled out what he knew word by word.
Shi Yifan was still a little careless at first, but as he listened, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up, and stared at him, and said, "Is this true?"
Pan Yang said loudly, "It's true!"
Shi Yifan clenched his fists, and then loosened them, and suddenly asked, "Who else did you tell about this?"
Pan Yang smiled, and said, "I've already told Miss Yan about this …"
"What?" Shi Yifan angrily took two steps forward, and raised the whip in his hand. Then, as if he thought of something, he snorted, and put down the whip, and said mockingly, "Fellow Daoist, you're quite smart."
Pan Yang calmly said, "Not at all. I'm weak, and I'm alone, so I have no choice but to tell you about this."
This was also his way of protecting himself. Yan Yuyou and Shi Yifan, no matter which of them he told about this, they would think that he could devour the Zoysia Ancestor alone, and to prevent the news from leaking out, they wouldn't let him live. But now that both of them knew about this, there was no need to kill him. After all, he was also a disciple of Anqiu Faction, not a rogue cultivator.
And the reason why he chose to come to Shi Yifan, and only sent the talisman to Yan Yuyou, was because this woman was temperamental, and she did whatever she wanted. He was not sure if this woman would kill him in a fit of anger. Shi Yifan thought for a long time, and he also felt that since Yan Yuyou knew about this, there was no way to avoid it, so he might as well be honest.
Though he might not believe that the green-robed young man Pan Yang spoke of was so powerful, but the world was unpredictable, and it was never wrong to be cautious. If he and Yan Yuyou worked together, they would have a higher chance of success.
Once he made up his mind, he said excitedly, "Men, call everyone back, and follow me to Pear Blossom Peak."
A servant said, "Young master, are we not going to search for the Zoysia Root in this mountain?"
Shi Yifan lashed out with the whip, and the servant's skin split open, and he laughed, "The Zoysia Root is good, but how can it compare to the Zoysia Ancestor?"
