Chapter 231: What A World-shocking Figure
“The so-called end of yin dregs and extinction of corpse qi is essentially a product of solitary yang failing to be born and solitary yin failing to grow. It is precisely because the xiantian qian nature transforms into the houtian li that the Nascent Spirit then flips into the Conscious Spirit. The yin energy in the heart also flows constantly… Oops, I accidentally said too much. You wouldn’t understand.”
It is precisely because the Nascent Spirit and Conscious Spirit are each other’s surfaces and interiors that the stronger the Nascent Spirit, the more abundant the yin dregs and corpse qi.
Regardless of whether you are an unparalleled Heavenly Pride or a mediocre person, you are treated equally at this passage.
Of course, those who can slay the Six Thieves and achieve True Intent Perfection cannot be considered mediocre talents in the conventional sense.
However, the gap between people, between geniuses and Heavenly Prides, and between Heavenly Prides and monsters, is sometimes greater than the gap between humans and dogs!
Scholar Ma continued to speak,
“In any case, if you want to get through this hurdle, there is a method. Since the yin dregs and corpse qi are born with the Nascent Spirit, the stronger the Nascent Spirit, the stronger they are, and the weaker the Nascent Spirit, the weaker they are. Thus, one can pull the firewood from under the cauldron and cross the sea under camouflage!”
“First cultivate the Bei Chen method, which is to exhaust all efforts to make the Nascent Spirit immensely powerful, even reaching a state where it is like the dwelling of the Northern Star, with all the stars naturally revolving around it, and all joints and myriad spirits showing reverence! At this moment, the yin dregs and corpse qi will be extremely powerful, even reaching the critical point of backlashing against the body.”
“Then, switch to Draw and Add. Within the Nascent Spirit, construct another Inner Nascent Spirit and slowly draw and add the vast Outer Nascent Spirit into the Inner Nascent Spirit. This is equivalent to putting a cover on your true Nascent Spirit. The yin dregs and corpse qi will only diminish and grow weaker along with the subtle changes of the Outer Nascent Spirit. In contrast, the Inner Nascent Spirit can use the Outer Nascent Spirit as nourishment, cross the sea under camouflage, and continue to advance, widening the gap between the Nascent Spirit and the yin dregs and corpse qi.”
“Finally, Lu Chen. The Inner Nascent Spirit emerges, inner and outer unite, causing heaven and earth to sink, and thoroughly crushing the yin dregs and corpse qi… then one enters Pure Yang Indestructible. Oh, according to your martial artists, that is the Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm.”
Scholar Ma’s face was calm. He casually handed over the paper document, as if what he had just written was no different from the doggerel poems and couplets he usually wrote, insignificant.
“Originally, there were a few more realms after this secret method. After Pure Yang Indestructible, one could continue to refine the Nascent Spirit, even reaching the point where the Nascent Spirit is unfailing and one can dwell in the world forever… Unfortunately, as Ma Mou, I am merely a frail scholar and have never practiced martial arts, so I can only give it a superficial taste… Besides, I am dying and have no more time.”
Scholar Ma said with some regret, even expressing considerable disdain.
It seemed that in Scholar Ma’s eyes, this secret method still had many rough and insufficient aspects; he could only say it was barely satisfactory and usable!
Then, Chen Shun’an blankly took the paper document and was completely stunned.
The Bei Chen Draw and Add Lu Chen Secret Method??
Ma Wencai, are you even human?!
How could you create such a secret method?
Doesn’t this make Chen Mou look like a ‘dog’?
Is this the value of an Immortal Seed?!
Previously, Chen Shun’an had left his Martial Dao Commentary for Bai Manlou, Red Fifth Master, and the others.
It had caused them to be astonished and speechless, filled with incomprehensible shock, as if witnessing an immortal.
And now, it was Chen Shun’an’s turn.
Chen Shun’an’s expression became solemn. He patted away the non-existent dust on his body, then took a deep breath and focused his gaze on this secret method.
Fortunately, Chen Shun’an’s Mud Pill was now open. He could be considered a Martial Dao Heavenly Pride, with his aptitude and comprehension having made immense leaps compared to himself just months ago.
So…
He could barely understand it.
“Scholar Ma, I don’t understand these two parts…”
“Ah? You don’t understand?”
“Then… should I understand?”
Chen Shun’an’s tone was somewhat hesitant.
Scholar Ma looked as if he had suddenly realized something, seemingly having completely grasped Chen Shun’an’s comprehension. He took the paper document back and began to draw and write again.
In just a moment, he handed it back to Chen Shun’an, saying,
“I have simplified the descriptions of Bei Chen and Draw and Add, making them clearer. At the same time, I have additionally expanded the Draw and Add method, allowing you to use other martial artists as samples to practice this method and construct the inner and outer Nascent Spirits. Practice until you are completely confident before cultivating it yourself…”
“However, heaven has a virtue of compassion for all life. Brother Shun An, please do not take innocent lives.”
Understood. It’s okay to take the lives of evil people.
A moment later, Chen Shun’an looked at the still-wet Bei Chen Draw and Add Lu Chen Secret Method with excitement.
My path to Martial Dao Grandmaster is about to be achieved!
“Enough talk, have some tea… I’ll go cut another two pounds of meat.”
Ma Shi had already boiled water and brought over two large ceramic cups.
“No trouble, sister-in-law. I’ll just have a sip of tea. I must be going!”
A moment later, Chen Shun’an walked out of the courtyard and looked back at Scholar Ma, who was still sitting by the window.
If Chen Shun’an guessed correctly, Scholar Ma had likely had his Mist Gauze Qi harvested by County Magistrate Wang.
A mortal could be nurtured multiple times, allowing different types of Mist Gauze Qi to grow and be meticulously harvested.
The first few times were optimal, after which the effect would become increasingly weak, until it was like boiling a frog in warm water, leading to the dissipation of the spirit and emaciation of the body.
Each time Qi was harvested, one of the internal organs – heart, liver, spleen, lungs, or kidneys – would be hollowed out.
Until it was completely hollowed out and reduced to a mere stench-filled husk.
Mortals whose Qi was harvested were, unless they were also Immortals, undetectable by others.
And if an Immortal were also a victim and had their Mist Gauze Qi harvested, there would be various drawbacks: a decline in their realm, damage to their foundation, a significant drop in fortune, and affliction by bad luck…
It was even more terrifying than for mortals.
And the various types of Mist Gauze Qi obtained had countless wonderful uses for Immortals.
In fact, breakthroughs in the Qi Absorption realm were even critically related to some types of Mist Gauze Qi.
And Scholar Ma’s self-perceived doomsday…
was the day when the Qianning Envoy visited the Sacred Dynasty, when the hunters were gone and the bows were put away, and the rabbits were cooked.
The officials of Wuqing did not wish for Scholar Ma to continue living.
And that County Magistrate Wang, Pan Hu, would likely be delighted on that day, obtaining a pure Mist Gauze Qi, and his cultivation would advance by a small increment.
“Scholar Ma is my dearest friend and kin, a seed of faith! You dare to harm his life, Pan Hu? I will definitely… When my Path of Divinity is accomplished, I will come find you to settle this karma!”
It could be said that Scholar Ma, for Chen Shun’an, was nothing less than the greatest opportunity, aside from the Three Officials of Water True Treasure Edict!
Moreover, Scholar Ma’s wishes were devout, having been a casual believer for many days. As long as Chen Shun’an manifested divine power and bestowed the Discipline Transmission Ritual, he could become a shallow believer and be thoroughly bathed in divine light.
Therefore, at this moment, Chen Shun’an’s expression was even somewhat contorted.
Anyone who dares to harm my opportunity shall have an irreconcilable feud with me, Chen Mou!
Most crucially, Scholar Ma might not be the first time his Qi had been harvested.
He had long ago become a sheep for Pan Hu.
In other words, the current Scholar Ma was not the most complete, peak state Scholar Ma!
His unparalleled comprehension and astonishing wisdom were even discounted!
Chen Shun’an could not help but sigh.
The geniuses in the world were as numerous as fish in a river, yet there were still astonishing figures like Scholar Ma.
However, once Scholar Ma converted to the Path of Divinity and entered the gate of my Water Origin…
Wouldn’t Scholar Ma’s unparalleled talent be equivalent to mine, Chen Mou’s?
Thinking of this, Chen Shun’an immediately felt much better.
I am merely advancing payment for the future; ultimately, it still depends on myself!
