Outside Mystic Jade City.
Just as Chung Shen-soo was about to execute the Unfettered Wind Riding Escape, he saw a streak of light chasing after him.
"Law enforcers, please wait!"
"So you're colleagues." When Chung Shen-soo saw this person wearing the law enforcer uniform, he couldn't help but smile. "Su Daozhi greets Fellow Daoist."
"Lin Xunyi, law enforcer of Mysterious Jade City!"
This man was in his twenties and had a dignified appearance. He did not seem to have any ill intentions.
"I was just passing by on business. Did I make things difficult for you?" Chung Shen-soo asked with a smile.
Lin Xunyi laughed heartily. "There's no need to say that there's a reason for this. Even if you bullied that Green Tree, that's it." From his point of view, it wasn't a big deal for someone from the Imperial Court to bully a wandering cultivator. The other party didn't even dare to fart!
"I just saw you, Fellow Daoist, so I came to befriend you. Since Fellow Daoist is here for business, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Xunyi chuckled.
"It's nothing much. It's just that the Fufeng Protectorate has a major case of silencing witnesses, and it seems to be related to the Black Lotus Church," Chung Shen-soo said with a glint in his eyes.
"This sect is secretive, and there seems to be someone with great supernatural power supporting them from behind. You must be careful," Lin Xunyi said solemnly.
"Thanks for the reminder. I'll take my leave now!"
Chung Shen-soo cupped his fists and used his escape art to soar into the sky. Not long after, he disappeared.
Lin Xunyi was left standing where she was, seemingly distracted. "Black Lotus Cult..."
…
Luo Zhou, One Mind Observatory.
Chung Shen-soo appeared loyal to the government officials. In reality, he did not care about the Black Lotus Church at all.
Even if the other party was plotting something, in Luozhou, the Sect Leader of the Mirrorcloud Sect would be the ones to handle it. It had nothing to do with him.
He was entrusted by someone to ask around and finally found the Sect of One Mind.
This Wholehearted Sect was located on Mount Luoqiao and could barely be considered as a Dao Sect lineage. However, the cultivation of the cultivators in the sect was not high.
He only knew the specific location of the [One Mind Visualization] from the Hookwinker.
The forest was quiet.
Chung Shen-soo landed on the bluestone steps of the mountain path and walked up step by step.
At this time, he had already changed his appearance to that of Childe Shen-soo.
After all, it was Childe Shen-soo who rescued Lu Huolong. Chung Shen-soo had always been cautious and did not want to involve Su Daozhi.
One Heart Monastery was located halfway up Mount Luoqiao. The golden paint on its signboard had completely peeled off, and it was on the verge of collapse. The Daoist Monastery wasn't big, and no matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be poor and in decline.
Even if someone came here, they wouldn't know that this was a proper place for cultivation.
It was early in the morning, and dew hung on the leaves.
A little Daoist boy opened the door. He was sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom in his hand, yawning from time to time.
"Little Taoist, please inform him that I, Shen-soo, am requested by Lu Huolong to see the Abbey Dean."
Chung Shen-soo took a step forward and said in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Lu?!"
The little Daoist boy's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed. "Fellow Daoist, please come in and have some tea. I'll call Master immediately."
As he spoke, he invited Chung Shen-soo into the living room and served him tea and snacks.
Chung Shen-soo slowly sipped the tea. Not long after, he saw an old Daoist with a slightly dark face walk out. A smile bloomed on his chrysanthemum-like face. "I'm Yi Xin. I was doing my morning lesson just now, and I've delayed you. Please forgive me."
"It's alright."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand and took out the iron sword that Lu Huolong gave him.
"This …" Old Daoist Yi Xin took the iron sword, and his eyes turned red. "As long as the sword lives, the person lives. If the person dies, the sword won't die … That disciple of mine, has his soul returned to the universe?"
"Yes …"
Chung Shen-soo briefly told him about Lu Huolong's situation.
"This is also his fate … I've lost my composure. Fellow Daoist, you're a man of your word. You're not greedy for treasures, and you're a true Daoist cultivator with a noble character." The old Daoist apologized first, and then he sighed and gently touched the iron sword.
A layer of restrictive spell disappeared, and densely packed words appeared.
Obviously, this iron sword was the inheritance treasure of Yi Xin Monastery.
Unfortunately, Chung Shen-soo did not know the password, and if he forced it open, it would probably self-destruct.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm unable to repay your kindness. Here are some Daoist techniques that you might be able to use … However, to break through the supernatural power, you'll need to combine the Heavenly and Malevolence, and gather Yin and Yang. You'll need to choose your techniques carefully. These techniques can't be used as basic Daoist techniques, but they're quite convenient in daily life …"
Old Daoist Yi Xin suppressed his sadness and took out an ancient book as a token of gratitude.
Chung Shen-soo took it and glanced at it casually. He realized that they were indeed small techniques, such as the Cleansing Technique, the Illuminating Technique, the Horse-Taming Technique, the Fruit Praying Technique, the Insect Repelling Technique, the Rat Repelling Technique, and so on.
For Daoist cultivators, these small techniques were extremely convenient.
For ordinary people, however, they were truly divine techniques. Just learning one of them was enough for them to settle down and build a family business.
There were more than a hundred techniques recorded in this Daoist book!
"Eh?"
Chung Shen-soo flipped to the back and saw the Tiger Repelling Technique. He could not help but be surprised and asked, "What's the relationship between this Daoist book and the eight hundred outer techniques of the Ten Thousand Techniques?"
"Fellow Daoist, you don't know? I, Yi Xin Monastery, can be considered as a branch of the Ten Thousand Techniques … However, the founder of Yi Xin Monastery realized the harm of having too many Daoist techniques, so he specially made a rule that one must have one heart for Daoist cultivation. From then on, Yi Xin Monastery cultivates Daoist techniques, and must have one heart and one mind. The eight hundred outer techniques were also cut down by more than half, leaving only one hundred and eight techniques. It's for daily use, and one must not be distracted. "
Old Daoist Yi Xin explained.
"Fellow Daoist, you're actually an inheritance of the Ten Thousand Techniques. My apologies, my apologies." Chung Shen-soo bowed and said.
He was indeed very interested in the Ten Thousand Techniques that claimed to collect all kinds of techniques.
Moreover, this Yi Xin Monastery was also very interesting.
Seeing how Lu Huolong became a sword cultivator, one could tell that it seemed to have gone from one extreme to another.
"Most of our sect's inheritance has already been lost, and it's no longer majestic. It's nothing much …" Yi Xin Monastery smiled bitterly, "Although one can definitely gain something from reading all kinds of Daoist scriptures, one's strength is limited, and it's better to go all the way than to go all the way …"
"I heard that back then, the Ten Thousand Techniques had a unique magical power called — — Myriad Transformations! It can simulate any magical power in the world. "
Chung Shen-soo had Zhang Taiyi as his foundation, so he knew all kinds of secrets like the back of his hand.
Yi Xin Monastery was startled, and he smiled bitterly, "You're exaggerating, you're exaggerating … Although the Myriad Transformations was created by the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Techniques, and he was an extraordinary person with many wonderful ideas and ideas, he wanted to create a magical power that could simulate all kinds of magical powers. However, until he passed away, he only completed a half-finished product, and the Myriad Transformations was only a third-grade magical power … Moreover, he could probably simulate low-grade magical powers, but the power of third-grade and fourth-grade magical powers would be greatly reduced, and he could only draw a tiger from a cat. As for high-grade magical powers, it's even more impossible to simulate them, not even a little bit …"
That was the truth, or else the magical powers that could simulate the magical powers in the world would have been snatched by the Three Dao Sects and the Six Dao Demon Sects.
"You're being so clear, as if I'm trying to snatch the inheritance … No, this Myriad Transformations magical power seemed to have been collected by someone with ulterior motives along with the change of the Ten Thousand Techniques, and they're all in the Sutra Depository of the major forces … It might be the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Techniques doing this on purpose to protect himself."
It was not a magical power that was too powerful, and it was widely known, so the rest of the branches of the Ten Thousand Techniques would be safe.
Yi Xin Monastery seemed to be in the mood to talk, "Speaking of the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Techniques, he meant well. He was originally a rogue cultivator, and he knew how difficult it was to not have an inheritance. Once the Yin Devilish Technique and the Yang Aura Technique didn't match, and they couldn't be combined into magical powers, they would be dead …"
This seemed to be a reminder, but seeing Chung Shen-soo's indifferent face, Yi Xin Monastery felt depressed, as if he was winking at a blind man.
"And some cultivators knew this, but they couldn't find a suitable magical power, or the Yin Devilish Technique had a solid foundation, but they couldn't find a matching Yang Aura Technique. Therefore … he wanted to create a magical power that could allow his natal magical power to be ever-changing, and it could match any Yin Devilish Technique and Yang Aura Technique. In this way, it would be convenient for the world. "
Yi Xin Monastery said solemnly.
"The patriarch's demeanor is admirable," Chung Shen-soo added in his heart, but he still failed shamefully.
"Therefore, the patriarch created the Ten Thousand Techniques, and he spent his whole life collecting them. Finally, he created the Black Fiend Nine Transformations and the Heavenly Eight Transformations. This Yin Devilish Technique and Yang Aura Technique, unfortunately …" Yi Xin Monastery shook his head, "He succeeded, but also failed."
"To say that he succeeded, the Black Fiend Nine Transformations could indeed be used as nine Yin Devilish Techniques, and it could be combined with nine other Yang Aura Techniques. The Heavenly Eight Transformations was also suitable for eight Yin Devilish Techniques, and it could slightly make up for the cultivator's shortcomings, widening their path. When the two were combined, they could even achieve ever-changing magical powers … But that was all. The Black Fiend Nine Transformations and the Heavenly Eight Transformations were limited to seventeen techniques, and most of them were unorthodox and weak. In his later years, the patriarch's hair turned white overnight, and he finally understood that he was on the wrong path."
