Gathered Qi Bead and Chu Guo lost and then found again, Chen Yun was overjoyed.
Although I just consider lost and lost, it is comforting myself.
After all, at that time, Chen Yun thought it would be impossible to find it back, what else could one do but comfort oneself?
"That's why when Ling Fei Yun flipped her hand, a flash of light, and the Gathered Qi Bead and Chu Guo disappeared, they were actually collected inside the ring."
Chen Yun also remembered Wang Zi Xing, Cai Ru Jin, Wang Lao Zhi and others. Before, they also flipped their hands randomly, and then things appeared. It is estimated that they also have storage treasures.
"Though I have a small bronze furnace to store things, it's not very convenient. If I keep taking things in and out, sooner or later someone will notice the hint. But with this ring, it's different. From now on, for things that are not too important, I can completely put them in the ring."
Thinking about this, Chen Yun once again considered a new problem.
That is, how to put things into the storage ring and how to take them out of it?
He tried to control it with his thoughts.
Then...
Well, no reaction at all.
Chen Yun pondered for a moment, "Since the magical object requires genuine Qi to open, it must be that storing and retrieving items also requires one's magical power."
He tried to continue the flow of true Qi to the nearby items in the ring.
It turned out that the true Qi entered.
Satisfied with his guess, Chen Yun controlled the true Qi to move it beside the earthen jar containing the Chu Guo, then tried to pull it with the true Qi.
As soon as the true Qi touched the earthenware jar.
In the next moment, Chen Yun's palm sank, and the earthenware jar appeared in his hand.
"Oh, so that's how it's used."
I understand the basic usage method.
Chen Yun immediately opened the earthenware jar to check it. He found that the color of the Chu Guo inside seemed to have deepened again, as if it was going to burst.
"It seems that the storage ring can't preserve quality and temperature like the secret compartment of the small bronze furnace."
Thinking about it, he took out the small bronze furnace from the Dimension, and placed the earthenware jar containing the Chu Guo into the secret compartment on the wall of the furnace.
I don't know when I can collect the Nine Grain Grass Dew and Zhu Yu Cao.
If the Chu Guo is not preserved properly, once the skin bursts open, its efficacy will be lost.
Of course, he needs to put the Chu Guo into the small bronze furnace.
Retract the small bronze furnace to the Dimension.
Chen Yun once again infused true Qi into the storage ring, carefully examining what was inside.
Besides the Gathered Qi Bead, there were three other items inside.
It was a bundle of bright yellow sandalwood, a circular jade engraved with symbols, and a buffalo hide scroll.
These three items looked peculiar.
Chen Yun didn't know the specific uses, so he decided to take them out and see.
He took out the sandalwood first.
Instantly, a fragrance similar to that on Ling Fei Yun's body enveloped him.
"The sandalwood looks pretty expensive, and it seems to be shining bright gold, but I can't seem to find any use for it."
Chen Yun was a bit skeptical, so he tried to pick up a piece of sandalwood and infuse it with true Qi to see if it was a magical artifact like the ring.
After infusing true Qi, it was as if the stone had sunk into the sea, with no reaction at all.
It cannot be said that there was no reaction.
Chen Yun noticed that the part of the sandalwood infused with true Qi had turned black and was emitting an unusual fragrance.
This fragrance is somewhat like the scent of incense burning in a temple, with a hint of the fresh scent of locust trees in bloom.
"I don't know what kind of thing it is."
Chen Yun studied it for a whole half day, but still didn't understand the use of the sandalwood.
Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to put the sandalwood back into the storage ring.
Take out the bull hide scroll from inside.
Feeling the texture, it seemed to be just an ordinary bull hide scroll.
Chen Yun slowly spread out the bull hide scroll.
It's pretty big, probably about a meter long and 30 cm wide.
He looked carefully at the pattern on the bull hide scroll, which was somewhat similar to a map, with a layout similar to that of the Xigou City.
"Could this be the map of Xigou City?"
Chen Yun continued to survey it.
Suddenly, he noticed seven small red circles on the map.
These small circles have two in the center of the city, one above and one below, and one to the left and one to the right. If you draw a circle around them, they really do resemble the black and white points of the Taiji diagram.
Chen Yun turned his gaze to the other five red circles.
At first, he really didn't notice anything unusual.
But then he suddenly noticed that two of the circles seemed to correspond to the Wu family's mansion and the large residence of the Huang family.
"Mm?" Chen Yun furrowed his brow and muttered to himself: "I obtained the Gathered Qi Bead at Wu family's separate mansion and the Chu Guo at Huang family's large residence. Could this be a treasure map?"
It's not right!
It should not be a treasure map.
Chen Yun remembered that when he was at the dilapidated temple, Ling Fei Yun had said that she had taken the Gathered Qi Bead and Chu Guo, disrupting her plan.
Then he remembered the magical altar discovered in the cellar of Huang family.
Suddenly, it occurred to him, "Could it be that the Taiping sect is deploying some evil formation in Xigou City?"
In other words, whether it is the second son of the Wu family turned into a fierce ghost, or Qin Liang from Huang family's mansion turned into a ghost, it is very likely that they were deliberately created by the Taiping sect?
If we go by this speculation, Chen Yun felt that there might be five items capable of turning people into ghosts hidden at the locations of the other five red circles. These items might be treasures similar to the Gathered Qi Bead, or they could be magical formations and spiritual fruits like those in Huang family's mansion.
He doesn't know what these items are specifically.
The only thing Chen Yun knows is that if the Taiping sect has not changed their deployment, returning to Xigou City and searching for treasures according to the standard on the map might yield some treasures.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a treasure or not.
Actually, Chen Yun had a vague premonition that the Taiping sect might have deployed some evil formation in Xigou City that, if not destroyed, would bring disaster to the people.
"I'll think about it when I return."
Chen Yun was sure that the bull hide scroll was not a magical artifact, and he didn't feel like watching it anymore. He casually retracted it into the storage ring.
There is only one thing left to be seen.
Take out the circular jade engraved with symbols.
The jade felt warm to the touch, unlike the usual coolness of common green jade.
The spells inscribed on the jade, Chen Yun had never seen before, "Let's see if this green jade is a magical artifact."
Try to infuse true Qi.
A magical scene suddenly emerged.
Chen Yun felt a large amount of information constantly transmitting into his mind.
It's a bit like Zhao Gongming transmitting the "Accumulate Essence and Refine the Body" method through head patting.
It took about five seconds.
All the information has been received.
Suddenly, Chen Yun showed a look of astonishment, "This... This is the method for cultivating the Yin Spirit? The bright yellow sandalwood just now was actually a treasure that helps cultivate the Yin Spirit?"
He had never thought that the jade inside was actually a method for cultivating the Yin Spirit!
What is the Yin Spirit?
The Yin Spirit usually has two interpretations.
Firstly, the Yin Spirit refers to gods or immortals like Guan Yu, who are deified from the spirit fire of their devotees.
Mm, Cao Cao also belongs to the Yin Spirit.
Secondly, in the cultivation of inner alchemy, there are terms like Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.
Lü Dongbin once asked about the difference between the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit when seeking the Dao from Zhong Liqian.
Zhong Liqian answered: "Pure Yin without Yang is a ghost soul, Yin and Yang mixed together is a Yin Spirit, and Pure Yang without Yin is a Yang Spirit. Ordinary people after death have their corpse and soul separate to become ghosts; cultivators with their corpse not fully cultivation have what they call Yin Spirit. The time when the spirit emerges is called 'Yin Spirit'. Its emergence can be seen as white light like a river in the eye, or music from bells, chimes, flutes and pipes from the ear. As the cultivator's vitality has not yet reached its full potential, it cannot break through the sky barrier by itself. Therefore, it follows other paths to suit its convenience. After emerging, it can also be happy in its form, walking through streets and alleys, approaching rivers and mountains. But it cannot transform itself into another form. It can only move around in human world but cannot change into another shape. During summer when the sun is in the sky above, the Yin Spirit fears it and avoids it." Therefore, though it carries an air of immortality, it remains bound to ghosts.
In other words, the Yin Spirit is also a special form of soul body that is cultivated.
As Chen Yun knows, Tieguai Li had cultivated his Yin Spirit before attaining enlightenment.
Tieguai Li, also known as Li Xuan, was a handsome young man before attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal. His master was none other than the revered Taishan Laojing.
One day, Taishan Laojing invited Li Xuan to take a spiritual journey to Mount Hua.
When Li Xuan was about to leave, he told his disciple Yang Zi, "I plan to use the 'Outgoing Spirit' technique to travel to Mount Hua and meet with my teacher Taishan Laojing. If my spirit does not return within seven days, burn my corpse."
Tieguai Li's art belongs to the category of "Outgoing Yin Spirit".
On the sixth day, Yang Zi had a dream where a divine being instructed him to dispose of Tieguai Li's body.
He thought that since six days had already passed and his teacher's spirit was probably not coming back, he would just set fire to the corpse.
Li Xuan's spirit couldn't return to his body now.
If it couldn't return, the spirit would be dispersing its soul and essence.
Desperately, Li Xuan had no choice but to attach his spirit to the body of a lame beggar by the river. After he rose, he discovered that his body was now disabled.
As Li Xuan was about to have his spirit emerge again to find another body, Taishan Laojing suddenly appeared and told Li Xuan that the path of cultivation is about the mind, not appearance. As long as one's merit is complete, one can be an extraordinary immortal.
Li Xuan had no choice but to accept the reality.
"The Outgoing Yin Spirit is a great law, and cultivating the Yin Spirit will bring immense power. It is the second greatest law after the Outgoing Yang Spirit."
Chen Yun was surprised to find that he had obtained this great law from Lin Feiyun's storage ring.
Also, after cultivating the Yin Spirit, one can still cultivate the Yang Spirit. They are mutually inclusive.
Lü Dongbin had once asked Zhong Liqian if the Yin Spirit could be refined into the Yang Spirit.
Zhong Liqian's answer was: "Yes. As a cultivator of the Dao, one does not content with small achievements. One can refine the Yin Spirit into the Yang Spirit after emerging from it, and shatter its original form. When one reaches the stage where one's Yin energy is exhausted and one's Yang energy is pure, the true person will appear."
Chen Yun recalled these pieces of information, which allowed him to understand that even if he had cultivated the Yin Spirit earlier, it would not affect his future cultivation of the Dao.
"So, with this method 'Outgoing Yin Spirit', can I try to cultivate the Yin Spirit?"
Thinking about this, Chen Yun's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhang Qian, "This time, Master Zhang has shown great loyalty and concern for me. He willingly put his life at risk to come and save my life. He even suffered injuries from the explosion. Although I have learned the art of inner alchemy, it was taught by my mentor and could not be shared with Master Zhang. Now that I have this method of 'Outgoing Yin Spirit', which does not belong to the Daoist Sect, Master Zhang has always sought enlightenment and immortality. I can share the method of Outgoing Yin Spirit with him to help him fulfill his dream of seeking enlightenment and immortality."
Let's talk about this when Zhang Qian wakes up.
Chen Yun wants to ask Zhang Qian if he is willing to cultivate the Yin Spirit.
If he is willing, then Chen Yun will share it.
If the other party no longer wishes to pursue longevity and immortality, and wants to live a peaceful and stable life, Chen Yun will respect Zhang Qian's wishes and will not force him to cultivate the Yin Spirit.
"Mm, let's wait for Zhang Xiongshi to wake up. If he is willing to cultivate, then we can discuss it together."
Chen Yun was full of expectation and wanted to try whether he could cultivate the Yin Spirit.
