Yinshan Record

Chapter 234 Where Do the Six Dragons Come From?
Please give me some advice.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che.

"Fire, what is fire?"

This is clearly not a problem, the Yin-Yang Dharma King continued.

"Fire is one of the five elements and corresponds to the Li trigram in the Eight Trigrams. From the perspective of Yin and Yang, it is externally Yang and internally Yin. Externally Yang can burn all things, while internally Yin can gently preserve and maintain order."

"The first thing is to find that little bit of femininity."

Following the instructions of the Yin-Yang Dharma King, Su Che manifested a point of Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire in his palm.

The Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire is usually used against enemies. Once it comes into contact with an enemy, it uses the enemy's soul as raw material and burns up.

Now that he needed to use it to temper his own soul, Su Che really didn't know where to start.

He decided to let go and immerse his mind in the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire, slowly sensing the changes within it.

"Don't worry, be bold. This Yin Fire originated from your soul. How could it possibly harm your own essence?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che and said, "The Yin spirit leaves the body."

Su Che's heart stirred.

The Yin spirit slowly left its body, like a moth drawn to a flame, flying into the dark purple fire.

A vortex, a cold spiral.

Su Che felt as if he were in icy water, but there was no biting cold, only a refreshing coolness.

It's like the refreshing feeling of slowly sipping ice water on a hot summer day.

Su Che felt that his Yin Nerves, after being ignited by this round of Yin Fire, seemed to have become much more complete.

What is burned in these cold flames is not one's own spirit, but the dust and grime left in the spirit from past experiences.

Those past fears, anxieties, desires... all these things may evolve into inner demons that shake the very foundation of one's being.

I thought it would be excruciating pain, like being torn apart a thousand times, but the result was like waking up from a dream with a sense of relief.

Of course, the biggest factor was Su Che's mastery of the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire. Before this, the Nine Netherworld Burning God Yin Fire was like a sword in Su Che's hand—a bizarre weapon capable of harming people.

But through this tempering, the connection becomes even stronger, as if it were a part of one's own body.

The Yin spirit let out a faint long howl amidst this round of ghostly fire.

A surge of impulse arose deep within Su Che's heart, an impulse to continue the transformation.

With a single thought, a winding snake materialized from the fire.

That was Su Che's Yin spirit transformed into form.

"The tortoise and snake coil can grow golden lotuses in fire."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King chanted.

"That's enough, why aren't you returning to your original position?"

The long snake shook, stirring up layers of ghostly fire, and then re-entered the Niwan Palace.

The wisps of yin fire, as fine as threads, slowly spread from the Niwan Palace (the area around the head) to the rest of the body, like waves rising in the ocean, gradually engulfing the entire body.

Countless acupoints throughout the body seemed to breathe, slowly responding to these yin fires.

"Using the divine as a guide, it permeates the entire body. It tempers the soul and forges the body, thus participating in the creation of the universe."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che.

"Did you feel anything?"

"I always felt something was missing. Just now, when the power of Yin Fire tempered my entire body, I felt countless acupoints throughout my body vibrate simultaneously. However, there should have been other changes after this vibration, but unfortunately, it stopped abruptly..."

"Of course it's missing something. Because this Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual is not complete, and more of its contents need to be verified from other parts of the Supreme Yellow Heaven Six Dragons Returning Sun True Method."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King explained.

“You are currently stuck at the critical moment of perfecting your Yin Spirit and introducing the alchemy method. Although I have the method of alchemy here, it is based on the general outline of the Six Heavens Purgatory, which is not suitable for you.”

"Phew, thank you for your guidance, senior."

Su Che exhaled a breath of stale air, finally realizing that his cultivation had taken a step forward.

"But may I ask, senior, why did the Yin spirit just transform into a snake? Could it be that something went wrong?"

"The tortoise and snake coiled together is the Black Tortoise." The Yin-Yang Dharma King explained, "The Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual can also be considered to have originated from my Black Emperor lineage, which corresponds to the image of the Black Tortoise in the north. Once it is accomplished, it will undergo the transformation of the spirit tortoise and the black snake. The snake moving is Yang, and the tortoise guarding is Yin. Now your Yin spirit has transformed into the form of a snake, which is a sign that the Yin Fire Method has entered the right track."

"I see."

As Su Che spoke, he recalled the reason why the power of his own Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual could transform into a black python, which seemed to be a change that occurred between movement and stillness.

"In my opinion, mastering your snake-like form is not the end goal."

"Oh?"

"The transformation of a dragon and a snake requires the transformation into a dragon."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che: "Did your mentor Yu Lizi ever tell you how far you can go in practicing the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual?"

Su Che did not reply. Yu Lizi, of course, had not said when the training would end.

"When the six dragons return to the sun, they will naturally transform into dragons."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che and said, "Only when you have mastered the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual can you be considered to have achieved something, as you will be able to create a cold dragon that freezes rivers and seas and seals thousands of miles of ice."

Transform into a dragon?

Could it be that the meaning of "Six Dragons Returning to the Sun" is to refine a true dragon from each of the six different lineages?

“If you train like this for three hundred years, you may not be able to forge a cold dragon.”

The Yin-Yang Dharma King smiled at Su Che: "I do know a good place that can help you achieve your goals faster. How about the two of us meet tonight..."

Just then, a guard came in to announce their arrival.

"Reporting to the Ministry of Justice, someone outside is requesting an audience with a letter from the Wang family of Langya."

The Wang clan of Langya?

What are they doing here? Are they paving the way for the Prince of Wuling, or do they have other intentions?

"Who is this?"

"It's a girl, she looks about fifteen or sixteen years old."

A young girl—is the Langya Wang clan without anyone left?
Su Che frowned.

Should I excuse myself?

The Yin-Yang Dharma King asked.

"It's alright. Since you are my father-in-law, there's nothing wrong with you staying here."

"Being your father-in-law, I don't know whether you're taking advantage of me or I'm taking advantage of you. It just feels weird."

At a single command, imperial guards naturally led the men over.

The person who came was none other than the maidservant beside Madam Xie, who had met Su Che once before.

She walked into the main hall, first glancing curiously at the Yin-Yang Dharma King, and then bowing to Su Che.

"This servant greets Young Master Su. You look much better than before."

As he spoke, he presented the visiting card wrapped in lake-blue silk.

She remembered Su Che, but Su Che didn't remember her. He was busy slaying demons everywhere at the time and didn't have a deep impression of her. He just assumed that this young lady had seen his dashing figure in Jiankang City.

The format of this visiting card is indeed the one that the Langya Wang clan is accustomed to using.

Su Che glanced at the post briefly and then put it aside.

"I wonder what business the Wang family of Langya has with me?"

"That's right." The maid's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter: "My mistress is hosting a banquet at Tongde Restaurant tonight and wishes to entertain Young Master Su."

His wife.

Su Che frowned. Could it be that the karmic debts and emotional entanglements from his predecessor's past life were coming back to haunt him?

"This is against etiquette."

Su Che looked at the maid: "Go back and tell your mistress that I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to discuss the banquet anymore..."

“My wife said she has several important matters to discuss with Young Master Su, and they need to meet in person. The Su family of Duling and the Wang family of Langya have always been close friends…”

The maid covered her mouth and chuckled, "Young master, you're not scared, are you?"

This attempt to provoke someone is really clumsy.

"I'm overwhelmed with mundane affairs, and I really don't have the time."

Su Che refused outright.

"Regarding the matter of law and punishment, in my humble opinion, it would be better to have a talk with them."

This time, it was the Yin-Yang Dharma King who spoke.

He gazed at Su Che with a lingering look.

"It goes without saying that the Su family of Duling and the Wang family of Langya are close relatives. I think that since Madam has invited me, Li Xing should not refuse. Perhaps he will gain something from it."

“The old gentleman is right,” the maid said decisively. “Then I will report back to you, Madam.”

"Row."

Su Che agreed, and the little maidservant happily bowed and took her leave.

"Senior, what does this mean?"

Su Che turned to look at the Yin-Yang Dharma King, wondering what he meant.

"That little maid is Zhu Yan."
