Chapter 405 The Heroine is a Shaman (Part 8)
Since you have decided to leave, you must make preparations before leaving.
First, the underground palace! "Master has searched it thoroughly, and there is only this Yin Gathering Formation in the underground palace!"
Chi Powang was operating while teaching.
If they want to leave the underground palace, they naturally have to completely break the Yin Gathering Formation here.
The previous formation was broken by Gu Qingcheng using the coffin lid to break it violently.
Those evil things that make up the formation are still hidden at various points of the formation.
If these evil magical instruments are not found and destroyed one by one, and if some unorthodox methods are not used to supplement them slightly, the Yin Gathering Array can be repaired.
Chi Powang possesses the Eye of Delusion, so he can directly activate his supernatural powers and find those magical weapons one by one.
However, Chi Powang is used to using his own magic, and the Eye of Powang has just awakened, so Chi Powang still needs to study and familiarize himself with it.
He continued to make hand gestures, deduced the formation, and accurately found the formation points one after another.
"The ancestor of our Shenxiao Palace is a great master of the Xuanmen sect who has mastered the four skills of formation, elixir, talisman, and magic..."
Chi Powang dug out the last piece of "Nine-Aperture Jade". Although the small piece of jade had been placed in the array for thousands of years, it still retained a trace of Yin energy.
"What a great idea! They actually used the Nine-aperture Jade from the pre-Qin period as a magical instrument to set up the formation!"
Chi Powang explained the glorious history of the sect's ancestors, and did not forget to sigh in between.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but frowned - Nine, Aperture, Jade?
As a pure ancient native, Gu Qingcheng certainly knew what Nine-Aperture Jade was.
After a person dies, the nine orifices of the body (eyes, noses, ears, mouth, and the front and back private parts) are sealed with jade.
"Gold and jade are in the sky, and the dead become immortal!"
In order to achieve immortality after death, the so-called Nine-Aperture Jade came into being.
This thing must be the most filthy of all the burial objects.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't imagine that the original owner's body had been lying in the nine-aperture jade formation for nearly a thousand years!
Gu Qingcheng didn't know what the original owner would feel after knowing the truth, but as for herself, she was very resistant and even disgusted! After Chi Powang sighed, he mobilized his spiritual power and poured it into his fingertips.
Boom! The small jade stone was instantly turned into powder and disappeared without a trace when the wind blew.
The last trace of Yin energy remaining in the formation also disappeared as the Nine-Aperture Jade was shattered.
"Master, our Shenxiao Palace's ancestor is so talented and brilliant, so our Shenxiao Palace must have a very high status in Xuanmen!"
Gu Qingcheng suppressed the unexpectedness caused by the Nine-Aperture Jade and echoed Chi Powang's words with an innocent look on her face.
Chi Powang: ...Uh, not really!
The ancestor of the Shenxiao Palace is a great master of the four cultivations, and his successors in each generation are also geniuses in metaphysics.
However, the way of heaven is the most fair, and it emphasizes "balance" everywhere.
The martial arts of Shenxiao Palace are passed down in a way that is beyond belief, and every generation of inheritors is a rare genius of the time.
Ahem, geniuses are always a bit cold and arrogant.
When accepting disciples, they are extremely picky. Almost every generation of the Palace Master of Shenxiao Palace faces the desperate situation of "having no disciples to teach".
Of course, in the end, he definitely found a disciple that suited his taste and passed on the inheritance.
However, the number of disciples is extremely small.
It can’t be said that it has been passed down from generation to generation, but it’s almost the same.
Just imagine, if a sect has no more than a handful of masters and disciples, how can this sect become a powerful force in the metaphysical world? Only with numbers can there be power.
The Shenxiao Palace is more like a legend of the Xuanmen sect! Legends are like that, and no one believes them anymore after they are passed on.
Not to mention the people from other sects, even the little Taoist boy adopted by Chi Powang back then probably wouldn't believe what his master said.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chi Powang did not really accept the little Taoist boy into the Shenxiao Palace, nor did he teach him the Shenxiao Palace's skills.
Chi Powang sincerely teaches his half-human, half-corpse disciple Gu Qingcheng.
In addition to that cause and effect, Chi Powang also discovered that although his disciple was a female corpse, she was extremely talented.
The students are smart! They remember everything they see and hear! They can draw inferences from one example and apply it to other similar cases.
Being extremely smart is fine, but also hardworking.
Well, well, Gu Qingcheng, who is half human and half corpse, doesn’t need to eat or rest.
People simply use this time to practice.
...But no matter what the reason is, the result is that Gu Qingcheng is talented and even more hardworking, and is definitely the best student that teachers love most.
Such a good seedling, even if she is half human and half corpse, Chi Powang is willing to accept her into the Shenxiao Palace!
"cough!"
Chi Powang was slightly embarrassed when his disciple asked him about the status of Shenxiao Palace in the martial arts world.
He couldn't lie with his eyes open, but he also couldn't slander his own sect - their Shenxiao Palace had few people, and even the younger generation of many famous and upright sects might not have heard of their names, but each generation of descendants were all great men who cared about the people and had top-level cultivation.
Whenever the world is in chaos and evil is rampant, a descendant of the Shenxiao Palace will appear, leave behind a legend, and then disappear.
Chi Powang has deep pride and confidence in his sect and his ancestors.
"Our Shenxiao Palace is a hidden sect, and we rarely walk in the secular world!"
Therefore, since it is not well-known, there is no question of its status as a sect.
"But, the inheritance of our Shenxiao Palace has never been cut off. Disciple, which one do you want to learn, talisman, formation, elixir, or magic?"
Chi Powang changed the subject somewhat abruptly.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I understand! I see through it but don’t say it out loud!
She opened her clear, innocent eyes and said with a little excitement, "Master, do you know all of them?"
Chi Powang stood proudly, "Of course!"
If Chi Powang had not awakened his ancient bloodline, he would not have dared to be so arrogant.
He was indeed familiar with the inherited skills of the Shenxiao Palace.
However, due to the Dharma Ending Age and the depletion of spiritual energy, many materials for cultivation are incomplete. In addition, Chi Powang is still young, so it is impossible for him to practice all four aspects at the same time.
What he is best at is talismans. He only knows the basics of formations, alchemy, and spells.
This time when he awakened, Chi Powang awakened his ancient bloodline, his cultivation reached its peak, and he had a deeper and more thorough understanding of the inheritance of the Shenxiao Palace.
He can say without boasting that his current condition is in no way inferior to the "ancestor" who founded the Shenxiao Palace.
He also achieved full proficiency in the four areas of talismans, formations, elixirs, and magic!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Then I want to be like my master and become a powerful fourth-level cultivator like the ancestor!"
Gu Qingcheng straightened his chest and made a grand ambition like a passionate young man.
"...Okay! Then I will start teaching you the formation first."
Chi Powang was satisfied with his young disciple's ambitions.
He continued to teach on the spot, "Master, let me first tell you about this Yin Gathering Formation in the underground palace..."
Chi Powang explained the Gathering Yin Formation from beginning to end again.
Then, he took out some stones that were imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he found in the mountains and forests, and set up a spirit gathering formation.
"The Yin Gathering Array in the underground palace has existed for thousands of years. Although the array has been destroyed and the Yin Qi has been eliminated, the spiritual energy in this place is also gone!"
What Chi Powang said is true.
The forest where the underground palace is located is filled with a gloomy energy all year round.
What appears to the world is a filled with miasma.
The people nearby did not dare to approach easily. If anyone accidentally entered, they would be injured at best and die at worst.
Especially in the past one or two hundred years, the negative energy in the underground palace began to leak out in large quantities, further affecting the surrounding area.
This forest has become a "forbidden area" that the local people fear very much.
The Yin Gathering Array was destroyed, there was no more Yin evil and no more spiritual energy.
Of course, after dozens or hundreds of years, the heaven and earth will slowly give birth to some spiritual energy.
But, it’s been too long! “…Although this Gathering Yin Formation may not be your doing, it’s still because of it that you’ve been able to remain intact for a thousand years!”
Chi Powang looked at his innocent and ignorant little disciple and said seriously, "You owe me karma!"
"Now, I will teach you the Spirit Gathering Array. You will set it up by yourself!"
This can be considered as Gu Qingcheng's repayment for the karma.
She no longer owes anything to this world or its people.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Although this fresh-faced master looks young, he truly has a heart that is a role model for others.
He really did it for her own good! He also sincerely taught her the techniques and the ways of dealing with people.
"We cultivators should avoid owing karma to others!"
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything, Chi Powang thought that she didn't understand, so he hurriedly continued to explain.
Just like him, being able to wake up from the seal was the "cause" for Gu Qingcheng to violently break the formation.
Maybe Gu Qingcheng didn't save him on purpose, but he did benefit from it, and he has to repay it!
"Yes! Master! Disciple understands!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, her beautiful little face full of trust and gratitude towards her cheap master.
Chi Powang was satisfied: "This kid is teachable! This kid is teachable!" Chi Powang stood with his hands behind his back, watching Gu Qingcheng set up the formation bit by bit.
A dozen stones were placed according to their positions, but there were no obvious changes.
"There's nothing we can do about it. These stones are just stained with a little spiritual energy, but they don't have much spiritual energy themselves."
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng seemed a little disappointed, Chi Powang hurriedly comforted her with gentle words.
"Master, wait until I pawn these burial objects and exchange them for some good jade, and then I will set up the formation again."
Gu Qingcheng listened carefully, nodded obediently, and actively expressed that she would find ways to make up for this cause and effect! Chi Powang: ...I forgot that my disciple is a rich man.
Not to mention the burial objects in the coffin, just Gu Qingcheng's wide-sleeved skirt embroidered with gold thread and the jewelry inlaid with red gold and gems on her head are worth a lot of money.
However, these things cannot be sold directly.
It was originally a burial object or something worn on a corpse, and it had been kept in the Yin Gathering Array for a thousand years, so it had long been soaked in the evil spirit.
If an ordinary person touches it, he may get sick at best, or even be in danger of his life.
"Don't rush to deal with these things. Wait until I find a suitable magic weapon to clear away the bloody evil spirits before dealing with them!"
Chi Powang continued to teach his disciple patiently.
Alas, having a disciple who knows nothing does require more energy and effort.
Of course, in the process of teaching his disciples, Chi Powang also gained the greatest satisfaction from his role as a teacher.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Yes! Master is right! She is not some scheming boss with a dark heart, but a little fledgling who has been sleeping for a thousand years and is ignorant of the world!
Trouble: ...he~tui~
