Yinshan Record

Chapter 111 Tainted Witness
"Master, then this disciple will take his leave."

Madam Xue immediately bowed in homage.

Yu Ze and Shi Chibao also hurriedly followed suit and bowed.

"Please help yourself."

Yu Lizi didn't keep them any longer.

The three quickly left the hall, and as they went out, they saw Young Master Su walking inside.

Madam Xue immediately stopped Su Che.

"When I first met Young Master Su, I felt that he looked familiar, like an old friend. I invited him to get together again, but we never had the chance to meet again."

As if by magic, she pulled a plain white porcelain bottle with crackled ice patterns from her sleeve.

“A few days ago, a fellow Daoist opened a batch of Moon Essence Nourishing Spirit Pills. Since I cultivate the Divine Path, this item is of little use to me. Young Master, please take it to nourish your body.”

The Moon Essence Nourishing Elixir draws upon the essence of Yin to nourish the innate spirit, thus prolonging life and benefiting the body. Su Che recalled the description of this elixir in the "Records of the Mysterious Center," which stated that elixirs were divided into two categories: water and fire.

One type is called Fire Elixir, which is mostly refined by Taoist priests of the Xuanmen sect. It adopts the principles of Yin and Yang and harmonizes the two energies. Because it is refined in the Xuanmen immortal furnace, it is called Fire Elixir.

Another type is the Water Elixir. Most of those who refine this type of elixir are aquatic dragons who spend time in the water, reversing the five elements to refine the elixir.

It seems that the fellow Daoist that Madam Xue referred to is either a dragon from the water or a water god from some region.

"How could I possibly accept this? You're too kind, Madam."

Su Che took the bottle.

They're really generous! One of these pills can extend one's life by five or six years. If we assume the medicinal power doesn't diminish, finishing this whole bottle could probably add over a hundred years to one's life.

"Take it back and give it to your elders."

"Madam has also come to pay her respects to the teacher?"

"Young Master Su, you are in luck. Master Wei has now ascended to the highest heavens and attained immortality. He is waiting for you in the hall."

"Su Lixing".

Yu Ze said to Su Che.

"Go in quickly, don't keep Master Wei waiting."

Su Che nodded.

Inside the main hall, Yu Lizi's eyes were slightly closed, and three blue lotus flowers on his head opened and closed uncertainly.

Auspicious light shone brightly, and the atmosphere inside the hall was magnificent.

"teacher."

Su Che respectfully bowed and said, "Congratulations, Master, on reaching the third rank and attaining immortality."

"Rank is nothing but an external thing. When the Demon King Juntian Guangletian divided cultivators into ranks, he used this as a barrier, and he didn't know how many people he had harmed. That lion was one of them. In your future cultivation, you must not take the words 'realm' seriously."

The nine ranks were actually created by a demon from beyond the realm?

Juntian Guangle Heavenly Demon King, Su Che recited this name in his heart.

The Taoist scriptures say, "Qingdu Ziwei, Juntian Guangyue, is the residence of the Emperor." Judging from the title alone, this Heavenly Demon King's name does indeed reveal his grandeur.

Yu Lizi opened her eyes and smiled, her eyes still brimming with the endless cycle of thunder and lightning.

"Did you gain anything from your trip to Kulin Temple?"

"I have successfully completed my mission and have obtained the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden."

A pure, crystalline Buddhist light appeared behind Su Che's head, within which celestial palaces could be faintly seen.

"My disciple..."

Yu Lizi looked at the halo of Buddha behind Su Che's head, but there were still some things she didn't say.

"When the azure lion shook the Xuan Mountain and was about to disappear into the void, my wisp of the true meaning of the Future Star Tribulation Scripture moved accordingly, evolving into a fundamental Buddhist light..."

Su Che felt his explanation was weak.

Sigh, I should find a few books on Joyful Zen to read first, just in case. "Then I entered the Kulin Zen Temple. Through the Buddha's light, I found the location of the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden."

Su Che told Yu Lizi everything that had happened in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden.

What was concealed was the fact that he and Zhongyuan had known each other for a long time.

"You said that you saw a Buddhist hellish person in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, and that person was accompanied by two other people dressed as officials?"

"Yes."

Yu Lizi pondered for a moment and then said.

"The two people you saw should be the City Gods of Shanyin and Guobei counties. It turns out they were corrupted by the Black Mountain Monster, who was actually the incarnation of the Green Lion. The City Gods are originally gods of the underworld. The Green Lion used these two to suppress the hell realm, which should have been a backup plan. However, all of this was wiped away by the person with the bronze mask."

“Master, I saw him move the Hell Path into the air, intending to help the Green Lion. This person is scheming and will make his move at a crucial moment. We must be on guard.”

Su Che felt he needed to say some things first.

Yu Lizi looked at Su Che: "He later sent the Hell Path into the sky to help me. If this person had not sent the Hell Path into the sky to disrupt the energy of heaven and earth, and if the demonic thoughts of the Lord of the End of Dharma had not disturbed me, it might not have been so smooth for me to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation."

"This person still managed to take away the Azure Lion Demon Spirit in the end, so there must be another conspiracy. I think this person is hiding his true colors and is definitely not a good person."

Su Che said, "This disciple suspects that there may be a hidden trick left by this person in the Azure Emperor Treasure Garden, so this disciple has decided to hand this treasure over to the sect for disposal."

"You keep it for now."

"disciple……"

"Keep it."

Yu Lizi said, "From the Dao Leader down, five of our sect's four Supreme Elders and six Instructors joined forces with the Divine Firmament Dao and the Spirit Coffin Temple deep within the Void Domain to annihilate the Fearless Demon Lord. You want the sect to handle this? The sect is in the outer domain..."

Yu Lizi recounted to Su Che the general outline of Huang Tiandao's plan to eliminate the Lord of the End Dharma, especially the dangers and benefits involved. Su Che was both terrified and delighted at the same time.

"If a disciple of the Xuanmen wants to attain immortality, he must obtain the most quintessential and profound truths. In the past, when the world underwent a great change, less than one-tenth of the essence of the Daoist sect remained. However, the extraterrestrial demons benefited greatly from this. They occupy the outer realms of the Nine Heavens, and countless seeds of immortality have failed to achieve their goal."

The world has changed.

Su Che memorized the word.

What kind of calamity could have caused so many of the elites of the Xuanmen sect to perish?

The phrase "one in ten survives" is easy to use, but how many of those who did not survive were heroes like Huang Tiandao and Yu Lizi?
"Now that the Xuanmen's vitality is gradually recovering, we naturally cannot allow the extraterrestrial demons to continue to run rampant. The Azure Lion's transformation into a demon is merely a part of the entire plan. Otherwise, do you think that wisp of the true essence of the future star tribulation would be released so easily?"

Su Che understood the unspoken meaning in Yu Lizi's words.

Huang Tiandao seems to have a fairly good relationship with Lingjiu Temple, and the true meaning of the Future Star Constellation Tribulation Scripture seems to be quite valuable in Buddhism.

Alas, the future is uncertain.

"Your grandmaster's actions were indeed to fight for a place for cultivators in the world, but they also carried immeasurable dangers. One wrong move and the whole game would be lost."

The Grandmaster is ranked as a first-rank master, the four Supreme Elders are ranked as second-rank masters, and the five Instructors are all ranked as third-rank masters. Huang Tiandao is launching a powerful attack with his entire family behind him.

If Huangtiandao is like this, the configurations of Shenxiaodao, Lingjiu Temple, and other sects are probably not much different.

However, if anything unexpected happens and the demons from beyond the realm become corrupted, then things will turn out badly.

Hmm, has my method of calculating combat power by rank also fallen into the trap set by the Demon King Juntian Guangletian?

"Although I have survived the tribulation and developed my own supernatural powers, I have also been tainted by the demonic thoughts of the Demon Lord. I must return to the Yellow Heaven to both recuperate and consolidate my foundation and to help Mo Jiaoyu, who is left behind, to prevent any unforeseen events."

Mo Jiaoyu, Su Che remembered that the ring that could change his appearance was made by this Mo Jiaoyu.

Good heavens, we rely on others to refine treasures in our sect on ordinary days, and now we rely on others to guard our home. Is the Cloud Recesses in the East Sea just a bunch of tools?

"Not many people in the world know about this matter. I must return to the sect immediately. As for the bronze mask and the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden, we'll discuss that when your grandmaster returns."

Yu Lizi gave the instructions.

I'm catching up on the two chapters I owed you guys yesterday. I was so sleepy yesterday that I secretly told myself I'd lie down for a bit, but when I opened my eyes it was already lunchtime... Sleep ambushed me this time, more to come later.

Thank you guys for the donations, I'd like to humbly ask for your monthly votes.
