Meanwhile, Ren Yuan boarded the ship early as soon as it was getting dark. It was the first time that he was so looking forward to meeting the passengers.

Just as he asked Xiao Heizi to give him the Sansheng Stone, he saw a flash of white light and Chen Baxian also got on the boat.

Although the two had only been separated for a short while, it felt like they were reunited after a calamity, as if their feelings had even been sublimated.

"Brother, I'm so glad that you're okay. Is my sister okay too?" Chen Baxian gave him a big hug.

"Everything is fine. We later ran into Sister Su, and she was also safe and sound." Ren Yuan also patted Chen Baxian hard and asked, "How about you? Did you encounter any danger?"

"Of course, brother, I am a lucky man. No one pursues me at all." Chen Baxian said with a smile.

"Who else do you know about?" Ren Yuan asked, "Do you know that the Taoist priest is out of danger?"

"I was just about to tell you about the Taoist priest." Chen Baxian said with a smile, "I went back to look for the Taoist priest later. I found him at the bottom of the cliff, hanging from a tree like a sausage. His injuries were so horrible that he looked like a human being."

"The Taoist priest is trying to lead the enemy away for us." Ren Yuan sighed, looking at Chen Baxian's playful face, and said, "But looking at you like this, he should be able to turn danger into safety, right?"

"That's right." Chen Baxian nodded and smiled, "That little injury was nothing to the Taoist priest. He turned a disaster into a blessing, got help from a noble person, and broke through to the seventh orifice!"

"Is he so powerful?" Ren Yuan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Where did the noble man get the reinforcements?"

"They are not reinforcements, they are the fifth leader of the Gou Chen Division who came to arrest us," Chen Baxian said in a deep voice, "and he was the one who asked me to find the Taoist priest."

"Ah, the fifth owner?" Ren Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and asked, "What is he up to?"

"Who knows?" Chen Baxian replied, "The Taoist priest said that the fifth owner wanted to arrest him at first, but later found out that he was practicing inner alchemy, so he let him go..."

"Didn't the Taoist priest say that inner alchemy is a taboo for the imperial court and Buddhism? The Tianshi Dao was destroyed because of it. Why did the master of the fifth building let him go for this?" Ren Yuan was even more confused now.

"We don't know either. Maybe there are some secrets here that we don't know." Chen Baxian said, "After all, the court is also a partnership, and everyone has their own thoughts."

"Well, never mind. As long as the result is good, that's all." Ren Yuan shook his head, no longer thinking about the truth that he was not qualified to touch for the time being, and asked again: "Where is the Taoist priest now?"

Bao Ren was different from Chen Baxian, who were the first to wake up and had already boarded the ship. If Ren Yuan had not fallen asleep holding his hand, Bao Ren would not have been able to board the ship.

"The Taoist priest still needs time to stabilize his golden elixir, so he found a safe place to retreat. I am protecting him." Chen Baxian said, and he couldn't help but offer his treasure:

"But before he went into seclusion, he told me the secrets of the inner alchemy technique. I can practice until my seven orifices are open without having to take any external elixirs!"

"Awesome!" Ren Yuan exclaimed.

"Do you want to learn? I'll copy it for you later." Chen Baxian said generously.

"Will the Taoist priest agree?" Ren Yuan asked.

"It was the Taoist priest who told me to do this." Chen Baxian said with a smile:

"What the Taoist priest meant is that the best way to protect this technique is to spread it so that more people can see and learn it."

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, he said that this technique is not perfect yet. What the world lacks the least is intelligent and talented people. With more people practicing, this technique will definitely be improved and perfected." "I really admire the vision of the Taoist priest." Ren Yuanshen agreed and said, "When I find a master, I will make the same suggestion. Inner alchemy talismans will eventually replace outer alchemy!"

"Yeah, I think so too." Chen Baxian nodded vigorously and said, "But we still have to be cautious about this matter. If they find out that we spread it, I'm afraid they will dig me up and spread my ashes."

"That's right." Ren Yuan nodded, then smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, brother. You finally got what you wanted and can practice advanced skills. And you are not restricted by external pills."

"Hehe, it's not that simple." Chen Baxian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Taoist priest said that I can practice, but there is still the same problem - I lost my virginity too early, my yang energy has been lost, and I am afraid that progress will be slow. So I have to build my foundation for a year, drain the oil and replenish my life, and restore my original true child body before I can practice."

"Well, this is called 'Fixing the Leakage and Returning to Childhood'." Ren Yuan praised: "The Heavenly Master Dao can actually be realized, that Heavenly Master Lu is really amazing!"

"Damn it, I can't touch a woman for at least a year. What a painful price to pay!" Chen Baxian spat, "Are you Taoists specifically targeting men like me who are mature, attractive, and have strong sexual desires?"

"Why don't you just say he's a lecher?" Ren Yuan said speechlessly, "Taoism talks about following nature and harmonizing yin and yang, but it doesn't tell people to abstain from sex. It's just that the true yang fire is needed in the foundation-building stage."

After a pause, he instructed Chen Baxian, "And you must keep your inner alchemy practice a secret. If someone finds out, you may not always be as lucky as the Taoist priest."

"Well, of course I know." Chen Baxian nodded and said, "I will continue to use the external elixir to protect the internal elixir..."

At this moment, a white light flashed on the deck again, and the two men stopped talking tacitly.

This time, Yang Zhong and the young monk Faxiu boarded the boat at the same time.

"Okay, Brother Ren, I'm glad you're okay!" Yang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ren Yuan.

"This time it's all thanks to Brother Yang." Ren Yuan hurriedly thanked him sincerely.

"You just hope that Brother Ren is fine, but you hope that something happens to me?" Chen Baxian smiled at Yang Zhong.

"You're fine, aren't you?" Yang Zhong glanced at him and said calmly.

Ren Yuan ignored the two guys who disliked each other and asked the little monk, "What's going on over there?"

"Uncle Yuanzhen has been put in solitary confinement. Uncle Yuanjue also said he wanted to do some self-reflection in seclusion." Faxiu replied:
"So now my master has to face the angry old yellow dragon alone."

"You are such a powerful force, yet you are still afraid of an old dragon like him?" Chen Baxian said with a teasing smile.

"Although we are not afraid of the old yellow dragon, if Qiantang is flooded, wouldn't the reputation of Southeast Buddhist Kingdom be destroyed?" Faxiu answered seriously: "Now the old yellow dragon wants us to hand over the murderer, but my master naturally refuses to do so, so he is stuck there."

"I know more about this matter." Yang Zhong took over the conversation and said, "The monks put all the blame on Taoist Bao, saying that everything was affected by his magic. They also asked our leader to be their lobbyist. I guess in the end, Old Huanglong will have no choice but to accept it."

"Well, if Old Huanglong still doesn't know what's best for him, he'll be skinned alive and have his tendons pulled out." Chen Baxian said with a sarcastic smile, "The monk has already surrendered, why are you still holding on to him?"

"Alas, in the end, it all depends on who has the stronger fist. Whoever has the stronger fist has the right." Yang Zhong sighed and said, "It's actually the same as the Northern Dynasty, except that one is more straightforward and the other is more subtle."

"It's the same." Ren Yuan said calmly.
