On the Tianxingtai of Heshan Road, Su Rui sat cross-legged.
He held a green jade plate in his hand, with a look of uncertainty.
This jade token is the opportunity given to him by the old man. According to the old man, this jade token is called the Tongsheng Token. As long as you inject your true energy into it, you can communicate with others even if they are thousands of miles apart.
The old man claimed to be the elder of the Qingcheng Sect, with the Taoist name Yu'e. He was searching for a treasure called the Snow Soul Pearl, which was rumored to be in the possession of Elder Tiantong, the foremost figure in the underworld. As for why he chose Su Rui as an undercover agent to gather information about Elder Tiantong?
According to Master Yu'e, one reason was that he had some knowledge of the art of qi-discerning and saw a golden-red aura above Su Rui's head, a sign of a righteous person. Although he was currently practicing the underworld, he asserted that he would eventually return to the righteous path. Since Master Yu'e was a Qingcheng Sect elder who prided himself on being righteous, he naturally sought help from those of the righteous path. However, if he sought a true disciple of the righteous path, how could he get close to Elder Tiantong? Su Rui was at a low point in his life, trapped in the underworld, so being an undercover agent was perfect for him!
Another reason was that Tiantong Elder's disciple, Dijue Zhenren, would be passing through Heshan Dao soon. The Daoist Master and Dijue were old acquaintances, so he would undoubtedly stop by. When that happened, Yu'e Zhenren would create an opportunity for Su Rui to connect with Dijue Zhenren and find a way to locate Tiantong Elder's hiding place.
Su Rui was actually very reluctant about this kind of undercover mission, but the conditions offered by Yu'e Zhenren were too tempting. If he accepted the mission, he would become a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. If he could help to snatch the Snow Soul Pearl, he would become Yu'e Zhenren's direct disciple and learn the true core Taoism of the Qingcheng Sect!
To gain his trust, Yu'e even taught him a method for transforming Yin and Yang Qi on the spot. This method was called "Yin and Yang Transformation Technique." By practicing "Yin and Yang Transformation Technique," Su Rui could transform his cultivated Xuan Yin Qi or other Yin and cold Qi into the Qingcheng School's Shangqing Qi, and then practice the Qingcheng School's Qi Refining Technique and Sword Flying Technique.
Su Rui had always wanted to join the Qingcheng Sect since his time in Tongqu County, but he hadn't been able to find the opportunity or the means to do so. He never imagined that in his desperate situation, he would encounter this opportunity, unexpectedly fulfilling his wish to join the Qingcheng Sect.
Su Rui had asked Xiao Tu to re-deduce the "Yin Yang Tong Hua Jue" and did not find any loopholes or pitfalls, which made him trust Master Yu'e's words even more.
However, there is a more demanding condition for practicing "Yin Yang Tong Hua Jue", that is, you must take out a magic weapon as the conversion core of the true qi. The stronger the magic weapon, the higher the conversion efficiency will be and the purer the true qi will be.
True Man Yu'e has made a promise that as long as Su Rui can find out the hiding place of Old Man Tiantong from True Man Dijue, he will give Su Rui a high-level magic weapon as the core of true qi conversion to help him refine the "Yin Yang Transformation Art".
Of course, Su Rui wouldn't wait until he gave him the magic weapon; by then, it would have been too late. After returning to Heshan Daoyun Valley, he began experimenting with using the Dragon Diagram Bagua as the core of his Qi conversion. Unexpectedly, with Xiaotu's cooperation, the process went so smoothly, succeeding instantly. This, he thought, must have been Xiaotu's contribution!
Feeling the cold and heavy Xuanyin true qi in his body slowly flowing into the Longtu Bagua, and then a masculine and light Shangqing true qi flowing out from the other side, Su Rui was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.
However, in order to avoid being discovered, he guided the Shangqing Qi to circulate in his body for a small cycle, and then brought it back to the Longtu Bagua and transformed it into Xuanyin Qi.
The newly transformed Xuanyin true qi seemed to be purer, and became even colder and more settled than before.
It was unknown when Di Jue Zhenren would arrive, so Su Rui wouldn't just sit and wait. Noticing the stars in the sky had already appeared, he began to channel their power to cultivate the "Mori Golden Light Pupil," which not only added a bit of silver brilliance to the sun's true fire within his pupils, but also a touch of agility.
After practicing "The Golden Light Pupil of the Maori", he began to practice the Xuanyin Qi.
The "Xuanming Zhendian" given by Taoist Qiao San actually contains some basic spells, but the minimum requirements for practicing these spells are above the second level of Qi Refining, and he has no way to practice them at the first level of Qi Refining.
In the past, he thought that he would have to disperse his skills and start over, so he didn't want to improve his Xuanyin Qi from the bottom of his heart. Now that he has obtained the "Yin Yang Tong Hua Jue", he completely let go and practiced hard, even planning to shorten his sleep time to three hours.
He practiced on the Tianxingtai for five consecutive days and nights, and stopped only when he felt that the true energy in his body had become as dense as clouds and mist.
Condensing Qi into clouds, this is the standard configuration of the second level of Qi Refining.
In order to cultivate this second level, for the past five days and nights, he basically asked the ghost maid to bring him food when he was hungry, fell asleep when he was tired, and continued to cultivate when he woke up. Now that all the hard work had paid off, Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, he could sense that the order in which his cultivation progressed this time was probably related to the previous transformation of Shangqing Zhenqi. There was another reason, too: when Su Rui was cultivating on the Tianxingtai, he could sense that the Yin Qi on the platform at night was more than three times denser than during the day.
In this regard, he guessed that it might be related to the geographical location of Tianxingtai, because it happened to be opposite the Deacon Hall of Heshan Daoyun Valley, and was on the same central axis as the gate of the Deacon Hall and the retreat room inside the gate. It is very likely that there is some connection with the earth veins in the Deacon Hall.
However, Su Rui kept all of this in mind and didn't intend to mention it to anyone else. This was the only place in Yungu with sunlight, and both humans and ghosts on Heshan Road had a natural aversion to sunlight. As long as he didn't say anything, no one would know.
After reaching the second level of the Xuanming True Classic, Su Rui was finally able to practice magic. The Xuanyin True Classic equipped the second level of Qi Refining with three minor spells: the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, the Dark Cloud Escape Technique, and the Ghost Rope for ritual refining magic weapons.
The Five Ghosts Moving Technique requires the sacrifice of five little ghosts with different attributes. After the skills are mastered, the ghosts can be ordered to transform tangible objects into invisible shadows, and move them out of the secret room or place them into the secret room. The key points are wall-passing and moving.
Yinyun Dun Jutsu, as the name suggests, is a low-level cloud escape spell. It's slow and can't fly high, making it easy to be chased. But no matter what, it can be considered a spell for escaping.
The ghost rope requires collecting ghosts and refining them into a rope. The more ghosts there are, the longer the rope will be. The higher the cultivation level of the ghosts, the better the quality of the rope will naturally be.
Su Rui ranked the three spells. The first spell he planned to practice was the Yinyun Escape Technique to increase his survival rate; the second spell he planned to practice was the Yinhun Rope to increase his attack methods; and the third spell was to practice the Five Ghosts Moving Technique so that he could let the little ghosts do some work on weekdays.
After deciding on the order, he began practicing the Yinyun Escape Technique. The first step in practicing the Yinyun Escape Technique was to use a secret method to summon a cloud of mist, then add a Yinhun restriction to the cloud, and then condense it until it could carry him. This basically completed the Yinyun Escape Technique.
