Mountain and River Festival

Chapter 62 Yin and Yang
Anuo fell into a coma.

In fact, the Flame Demon was almost unconscious at this moment. To put it bluntly, it was just a newborn demon. It may have been less than a year since it was born, and its strength was just so-so. When it encountered Anuo's completely unreasonable fighting style, it was tortured to the point of only having one breath left.

Lu Xingzhou angrily took a bunch of talismans and slapped them on randomly. A scream came from the crystal: "You humans are the devil! You are all fucking sick!"

The evil energy was floating in the air, and a black shadow was trying desperately to get out.

Lu Xingzhou took out the half-destroyed Ten Thousand Souls Banner and quickly took the Flame Demon's Soul into it. "I'll deal with you later!"

The air became quiet, and only a fiery red crystal remained in Anuo's hand, which he held tightly.

"Essence of Fire." Dugu Qingli's eyes looked strange. "It's an innate fire crystal of the same level as the Spirit Water Crystal."

Lu Xingzhou knew why An Nuo was working so hard. An Nuo also had extensive medical knowledge. She should have been able to sense at a glance that this thing had a high probability of being able to refine bones, and it was particularly suitable for his fire-attribute practice.

This child is so afraid of fire... so afraid of fire.

Lu Xingzhou silently took Anuo's pulse to check his condition. His expression became a little strange, and he quickly took out the pill and fed it to Anuo.

An Nuo's robe was tattered, but the skin she exposed was still as white as snow, without a single burn. Her current coma was simply a result of exhaustion and the fear of fire and death she felt during that exhaustion...

I guess they were all scared out of their wits...

"This little thing..." Lu Xingzhou was both moved and amused. He held An Nuo in his arms and whispered, "Let's go back."

The three of them looked up. Although they had fallen from here, they couldn't see how to get out from here. At this moment, they didn't want to investigate further. They just walked through the pool of water. Lu Xingzhou's wheelchair had a water-proof cover...

…………

The first snow finally began to fall.

Lu Xingzhou sat by the pond behind the house, quietly watching the snowflakes fall, fall into the pond, and melt away.

It was already the second day after returning. Lu Xingzhou's spiritual injuries had healed after a good night's sleep, but Anuo was still sleeping due to overexertion.

After Shen Tang came out from here, he found a wheelchair and returned to Danxia Mountain in a broken state.

Jin Mingxiu followed the expedition and "unfortunately died", so she had to give a suitable explanation to her disciples. After all, Jin Mingxiu had no problems on the surface and still had a certain prestige in the hearts of the disciples of Tianxing Sword Sect.

However, both Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli were seriously injured, which shows how fierce the battle was, so it is relatively easy to explain.

Dugu Qingli naturally went to protect the injured Shen Tang. That was the first order of the human-machine Xiaobaimao, so Lu Xingzhou was the only one left in the lively expedition team.

He didn't care about those things and was thinking about what he had gained this time.

The gain is too great.

These two crystals of water and fire can indeed be used to refine bones. The spiritual water crystal is even quite similar in shape and size, so it only needs a little refining and carving; the essence of fire is a prismatic crystal stone, which requires another refining to change its shape.

The two treasures are of similar levels, and it seems that they can solve the problems of both legs at once, but "water and fire cannot coexist".

Theoretically, it is difficult for such attributes to be combined in one person, and there will be a huge conflict. It is better to be cautious and choose only one.

But Lu Xingzhou felt there was still a chance.

Because this secret realm is fundamentally about the image of water and fire coexisting. The terrain is like this, the secret realm is like this, the alchemy layout is like this... then what about the essence obtained from it? Is there a conflict?
Can't we refine them together to achieve the harmony of water and fire?
It is not possible under normal circumstances, but since the original owner of this cave was able to use it to refine pills, then referring to his things will most likely yield some results.

Lu Xingzhou pulled out a jade slip.

The jade slips on that bookshelf mostly contained records and insights into alchemy, as well as quite a few high-grade recipes, which would require careful study later. There was only one piece of information related to the technique, titled "Yin Yang Ultimate Intentions."

The original owner's dragon and tiger embrace, yin and yang harmony, water and fire coexistence, all of which can be found in this technique. This is the core idea of ​​this technique.

But this set of exercises is incomplete, it only contains the general outline and martial arts classics.

Yes, the original owner was a typical Taoist practitioner and alchemist, and his reference material was a martial arts classic.

This definitely wasn't the original owner's inheritance. He hadn't planned anything for his afterlife in his cave, let alone leaving behind a legacy. It could only have been acquired from somewhere else, studied day and night, and placed on the shelf alongside his alchemy notes, the kind he constantly reviewed and contemplated.

And it is very likely that he started the subsequent series of operations only after obtaining this reference book of exercises.

Theoretically, since this technique places so much emphasis on yin and yang, it should be a Taoist manual, or it should be said that the dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts itself is a manifestation of yin and yang, but here there is only the martial arts manual part, which is obviously missing.

Even though it lacks most of its essence, it is still a truly superb technique, no less powerful than the Imperial Supreme Sutra.

Therefore, if you want to use the two treasures of water and fire to refine your bones at the same time, the prerequisite is to practice the "Yin Yang Ultimate Intentions" first, so that you can take into account both water and fire at the same time without conflict; conversely, when the two treasures are successfully used to refine your bones, it can also promote the practice of the "Yin Yang Ultimate Intentions", complementing each other.

The martial arts practiced by Lu Xingzhou was no longer his own family practice. It was also obtained from the Yama Palace, and was very inclined towards assassination and conspiracy, such as tarsal nails... At this time, he did not hesitate and directly dispersed his power without any regrets.

Dispersing Qi can cause some damage to the meridians and Dantian. If one were to disperse Qi after reaching a higher level, it could lead to disability. However, Lu Xingzhou, a mere seventh-grade cultivator, had not yet reached that level. Feeling some minor damage to his meridians and Dantian, he quickly took a pill and recovered completely.

Then, without stopping, he directly followed the instructions of the technique, drawing the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth to form his own cosmic peak. In this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, surrounded by Yin and Yang, he had a unique advantage.

After a while, he felt the yin and yang energies growing from his dantian and rapidly growing stronger. After practicing several large circles according to the route of the exercises, the true energy surged and reached the edge of the ninth level.

Although dispersing power has disadvantages, the advantages are equally obvious, that is, it provides sufficient experience for cultivation and breakthroughs.

Without even thinking, Lu Xingzhou clasped his hands together and circled the Tai Chi. The two energies in his Dantian suddenly began to rotate, gradually changing from the invisible energy to the observable mist.

The virtual Qi is visible, which is the sign of entry into the martial arts cultivation of Qi, that is, the ninth level.

Lu Xingzhou opened his eyes. The quality of this ninth-grade Qi was already no worse than the seventh-grade Qi he had previously...

He tried to punch the rock beside the pool, and the wind from his fist shook the rock, creating a shallow hole.

This is just the beginning of the ninth grade... and the fist wind alone can reach this level! Before, I couldn't even imagine it. The super-grade martial arts is indeed a super-grade martial arts. No wonder Shen Tang beat his peers with one blow, like a child, like a piece of cake.

Look inward to experience the Yin and Yang energies within the body. The energies that were previously mixed and difficult to distinguish can now be very clearly distinguished as Yin and Yang. The two are intertwined in spirals, a bit like DNA chains, and are spread throughout the body.

If the water and fire crystals are refined into legs, and the energy comes in accordingly, it should be possible to distinguish and unify them accordingly.

"Master." An Nuo's voice came from behind.

Lu Xingzhou turned around and saw Anuo rubbing his sleepy eyes and plopping to the door: "Master, why do I feel like your aura has changed a little bit..."

"Tsk, what a sensitive kid." Lu Xingzhou turned his wheelchair, smiled and opened his arms: "Let Master hug you."

Anuo ran over with a smile and jumped directly into Lu Xingzhou's arms.

"Hey, be gentle! If you hit me so hard, the wheelchair will slide into the pond..."

"Master, did you feed me the elixir again? I felt like I was dying, but how come I woke up feeling fine? Shouldn't I be as black as a roasted sweet potato?"

"..." Lu Xingzhou said with a stern face: "It was originally a roasted sweet potato, but Master used a brush to wash it white again."

Anuo scratched his head.

"Don't do this again." Lu Xingzhou pinched her face seriously: "Master doesn't need you to be powerful or helpful, I just hope you are well."

"I'm not afraid!" An Nuo clenched his fists. "If I wasn't afraid of fire, I would beat it to death with a different attribute. It's just a little devil..."

Lu Xingzhou said, "Have you ever considered that you're actually not afraid of fire at all? Although you're a wood element and are indeed defeated by fire, none of the wood element cultivators we've met are this afraid of fire."

"what?"

"It turns out that the fire demon this time couldn't burn you at all. Not even a scratch on your skin was left."

Anuo's eyes looked like fighting cocks, and he couldn't figure it out himself.

How could it be that he couldn't burn if he was born with fear?

If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. An Nuo's eyes sparkled: "Is that piece of fire essence useful?"

"Yes." Lu Xingzhou rubbed her face. "Bone refining is similar to alchemy to a certain extent... These two condensed crystals are the main ingredients. I also need to add some other auxiliary materials. It's relatively simple. I have asked Shen Tang to find them. Once the materials are complete, we will start refining."

Ah Nuo hesitated and said, "Is your seventh-grade flame enough?"

"I don't have enough, but the place where you jumped down and got burned is enough. They can even make Dragon Tiger Elixir there, let alone this little thing."

Ah Nuo muttered, "That fire can't even burn me to death, is it really useful?"

Lu Xingzhou looked at her again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Of course, there was the fire-avoidance talisman, but that talisman wasn't made by An Nuo himself. It was something he had picked up from Yama Palace before, and it was of very high quality. After the fire-avoidance talisman was destroyed, An Nuo jumped out, only to face the fire of the little flame demon, which was completely different.

But even so, it was still outrageous to be able to stay there for so long. The heat wave was not something that a normal cultivator could endure. If it were Lu Xingzhou, he would probably not be able to stay there for even a second.

Ah Nuo continued, "Also, the fire essence has been in there for a long time and hasn't burned away. If you burn it now, will it change its shape?"

Lu Xingzhou slapped her in anger. "What do you think those auxiliary materials I asked Shen Tang to collect are? They're used to help dissolve various high-quality minerals when they're refining their flying swords! This is the Sword Sect!"

Anuo held his head, his eyes still sparkling with joy.

It wasn't that she really couldn't think of these things, it was just that her master's lifelong wish was about to come true, and she felt the same way and was worried about the gains and losses.

After all, the ten years that the master sought were also her, Anuo’s, ten years.
