Chapter 1509: Chapter 141: True Skill Performed Within the Broken Jade, Multicolored Clouds Unfurl

Within the Cave Mansion, Zhang Yan withdrew his Heart and Spirit from the Broken Jade and calculated with his fingers, realizing he had been in seclusion for a year.

One day in the outside world equates to eighty days within the Broken Jade. During this year, he used the Yuxiao Technique as the foundation and successfully developed a spell. However, upon testing it with the Broken Jade, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

This spell can indeed refine three to four pieces of White Moon Ying Fruit in a year, yet it has a significant flaw: it cannot completely refine the medicinal power, requiring two to three fruits to equate to the effect of one originally.

This, while increasing absorption speed, comes at the cost of doubled consumption of White Moon Ying Fruit, which did not satisfy him.

To form the Primordial True Dharma Body, two medicines must be combined: one is the White Moon Yin Fruit, and the other is the Junyang Essence, both indispensable.

Although he had a substantial number of White Moon Ying Fruits, he couldn’t acquire more Junyang Essence, meaning every use diminished his supply further.

If he continued cultivation with this spell, at least half of the Junyang Essence would be wasted needlessly.

Thus, after careful consideration, he decided decisively to discard that Zhou Clan Secret Technique, drawing only a few dharma techniques from it, and instead started anew.

At this time, he glanced over at a niche by the cave door, seeing a rolled bamboo slip there. It was a token sent in from outside the Prohibition by Jing You, apparently to inform him of something, so he lightly raised his hand and drew it into his palm.

Upon opening it, he read that months ago Shen Baishuang had refined the Earth Fire Sky Furnace and, accompanied by Wen Liang, Chu Muran, and two disciples, returned to the East Splendor Continent, leaving only Zhao Ge behind to manage mundane affairs with the Wang Sisters in Han Yuan Sect, ensuring stability within and without, with no major issues.

He mused to himself, "Junior Master Shen possesses a method for concealing Qi Mechanism; even if he has left, Cave Heaven True Masters elsewhere won’t be aware, so the Mountain Gate should be secure. However, the Earth Fire Sky Furnace must not be lost, and it should be shielded by Prohibition; Junior Brother Zhao is reliable in tasks, this matter can be entrusted to him."

Flipping further, it mentioned True Master Tao had sent a reply letter, stating he could offer sacrifices to Zhongtai, but the specific content required his review.

Zhang Yan explored within the bamboo slip, pulled out a letter, read it over carefully, nodded in agreement, returned it to the bamboo slip, then used his finger as a pen and, casting Mana, wrote a line on it, and shook his hand to return it to the stone niche.

After completing this, he settled down, regulated his breathing, and aligned his Qi, smoothing out the acupoints, then once again grasped the Broken Jade, immersing his Heart and Spirit inside, resuming the development of the dharma technique.

Two silent and inconspicuous years passed in the Cave Mansion.

Suddenly one day, his body trembled, his eyelids faintly fluttered, and then abruptly opened. Reaching out toward the desk, instantly a White Moon Ying Fruit flew up, straight into his Gang Cloud; he then calmly focused his mind, invoking two Qi mechanisms, and slowly refined it.

As these two Qi mechanisms combined, it felt like Jade Dew, heavy as silver mercury, descending to nourish the Nascent Soul, permeating throughout the body, circulating through acupoints and meridians, emerging from the fontanelle, rising as Clear Qi, brewing within the three Gang Clouds for a time, then transforming into sweet rain and descending, thus cycling endlessly; with each cycle, he felt his internal spiritual mechanism growing stronger.

Before long, all body acupoints seemed to open, his body gently shaking, emitting sounds of metal and jade colliding, extremely crisp and pleasing to the ear.

After continuously refining for three months, he absorbed the medicinal power completely, not losing a single bit.

This spell compared to the original Zhou Clan spell, not only increased effectiveness but also eliminated many flaws and drawbacks, and the subtle sense within was far surpassing any previous experience, evidently extremely fitting for himself, suitable as a personal secret mental method to pass down. Although it took an extra two years, it was entirely worth it.

A smile of joy appeared on his face, confidently speaking, "With this dharma technique as an aid, it surely can help me achieve the Primordial True Dharma Body."

With a joyful smile, he collected his mind and Qi, remained motionless, retrieved another White Moon Ying Fruit, drew it into the Gang Cloud, and devotedly refined it, gradually immersing himself so deeply that he lost track of time passing.

In the mountains, without measuring years, in a blink of an eye, eighty years had passed.

Within Han Yuan Sect’s Lower Court, a young man eagerly held a Jade Token in his hand, flipping it over repeatedly and examining it.

People around rushed up to offer congratulations, "Brother Xu, congratulations."

The young man, surnamed Xu, returned the salute, feeling grateful, "Eight years of diligent study of Erosion Text, finally awaiting this day."

After several Dragon Pillar Meetings in the East Victory North Continent, and with the turmoil caused by the Guo Monarch, despite decades of recuperation, the Primordial Qi of all sects had not yet recovered. And since Zhang Yan’s seclusion, continuous invasions by demons from across the sea had plagued provinces and villages, as Zhongtai had disciples mostly from Great Clans, amidst such circumstances, many dukes and powerful leaders seeking self-preservation sent clan members to Divine House Mountain to seek apprenticeship.
