Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Crimson Radiance Grotto Heaven.

Zhaobi Cliff.

A mountain breeze swept by, causing the long hair of several people to dance.

"The Mysterious Yin Jade Marrow of Cold Moon Pool," Jiang Ning murmured, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The white-haired woman nodded slightly: "Indeed. The Profound Yin Jade Marrow is the condensation of the ultimate Yin source, which should be able to temporarily nourish the primordial spirit, slow down the imbalance of Yin and Yang, and buy you more time."

"Thank you very much, fairy!" Jiang Ning said, cupping his hands in thanks.

The mysterious Yin Jade Marrow mentioned by the woman in front of him could not directly resolve his Yin-Yang imbalance crisis.

However, if he can slow down the imbalance of Yin and Yang in his primordial spirit, he will have more time to resolve this matter.

Furthermore, the resulting increase in source points gives him more options.

"Then please follow me, fellow Daoist," the white-haired woman said to Jiang Ning.

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around, stepped barefoot into the air, and rose into the air.

"Gentlemen, I'll go first!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands to Cang Yue and Shen Yueru, then nodded slightly to Shen Yueru before following the white-haired woman.

Seeing the two leave, Cang Yue patted Shen Yueru on the shoulder: "We won't go with them, we'll wait here."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Shen Yueru nodded in response, her expression respectful.

……

Cold Moon Pool.

It is located deep in a rift valley at the top of the main peak of Chihuang.

The cliffs on both sides of the rift valley are towering and full of strange rocks.

As you descend deeper into the rift valley, the chill in the air intensifies.

Following the white-haired woman's retreating figure, Jiang Ning was completely absorbed in it.

He could feel the increasing chill in the air eroding his primordial spirit.

But the chill that had just approached the primordial spirit was instantly dispelled by the intense yang energy.

A moment later, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A secluded pool, about ten feet in diameter, appeared before his eyes.

The pool water was a deep, dark blue, its surface smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.

The surface of the pool reflects the faint light of the narrow sky above the rift valley, making it appear exceptionally tranquil.

The ground around the pool was covered with a layer of glistening frost due to the extremely low temperature.

The closer the ground is to the pool, the thicker the frost will be.

crunch--

The white-haired woman stepped barefoot on it, the frost being crushed and making a soft sound.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the place!" The white-haired woman stood barefoot on the frost and pointed to the center of the pool.

At the center of the pool, a silvery-white halo, like moonlight, swirled.

She pointed to the silvery-white halo and continued, "The Profound Yin Jade Marrow is nurtured deep within the pool, born from that fragment of Taiyin. It takes five hundred years to condense into a single drop, and there are still two drops in the pool today."

She then looked at Jiang Ning: "Fellow Daoist, would you like me to fetch it for you?"

"Then thank you very much, fairy!" Jiang Ning said.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind! You've done me a great favor, this is what I should do in return." The words fell.

She extended her slender, jade-like fingers, bringing her index and middle fingers together. A warm, jade-colored luster immediately emanated from her fingertips, which she then gestured towards the silvery-white halo in the center of the pool.

At the same time, she turned her other hand over, and a palm-sized white jade bottle appeared in her palm.

Guided by her thoughts, the silvery-white halo in the center of the pool trembled slightly, and a strand of silvery-white liquid, thinner than a hair, slowly separated from the halo, winding upwards like a serpent, penetrating the dark blue pool water, and floating into the air.

The moment the liquid filaments separated from the water, the surrounding cold intensified abruptly, the air temperature plummeted, and tiny ice crystals condensed in mid-air.

She immediately tilted the bottle slightly, aiming it at the wisp of silvery liquid. The liquid seemed to have a spirit, swirling in mid-air before disappearing into the jade bottle.

She quickly tightened the stopper, completely sealing off the astonishingly cold aura.

"This single drop is the condensation of nearly a thousand years." Yingxue handed the jade bottle to Jiang Ning. "Fellow Daoist, you may try to use your primordial spirit power to envelop it, bring it back to your body, and refine it."

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded, took the jade bottle, and felt its cool touch and the smooth, warm texture of jade.

"Thank you, fairy!" he said again.

"You're too kind, fellow Daoist!" Yingxue shook her head calmly, then said, "In my sect's Hundred Herbs Heavenly Ladder, there are still three Netherworld Grasses. These rare herbs also contain pure Yin attributes. Fellow Daoist, you may take them as supplementary harmonizing herbs. They should also be helpful to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning was overjoyed.

This is undoubtedly a great help to him.

If all goes well, this assistance can greatly delay the danger of his fundamental imbalance of Yin and Yang.

……

The Hundred Herbs Heavenly Ladder is located in the Lingxiu Valley on the other side of the main peak of Chihuang.

Unlike the gloomy and desolate Cold Moon Pool, this place is filled with spiritual mist, the fragrance of herbs, terraced fields, and countless exotic flowers and herbs, teeming with life.

The higher up the terraces, the older the plants, and the more precious the medicinal herbs become.

Guided by a white-haired woman named Yingxue, Jiang Ning successfully arrived at a medicinal garden shrouded in a light milky-white mist on the upper level of the Heavenly Ladder.

The soil in the garden was a deep black, and a faint chill permeated the air.

Three strangely shaped medicinal herbs grew there.

The grass stems are like black jade, the leaves are slender and curled with silvery-white lines on the edges, and each leaf holds a deep blue fruit the size of a pigeon egg at its heart.

A faint light flowed beneath the fruit peel; it was the Netherworld Grass and the Netherworld Fruit it bore.

"This herb matures once every three hundred years, and its fruit is ten times more potent than its stems and leaves. Consuming it can stabilize the spirit and soul, making it most suitable for those who cultivate Yin-based techniques," the white-haired woman explained.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ning said again.

Then, he raised his hand and summoned three Netherworld Grasses, along with the Netherworld Yin Fruits growing at their cores, which flew directly into his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, use this to hold it," the white-haired woman said, a cold jade box specifically for holding it appearing in her hand.

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "It's probably impossible to take this back with me."

After saying this, his primordial spirit flashed on the spot, and the three Netherworld Grasses in his hand and the white jade bottle fell down as well, which he then caught.

"Just as I thought!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

"Fellow Daoist, is it not possible?" the white-haired woman asked.

“No!” Jiang Ning shook his head.

In the blink of an eye, his primordial spirit followed the connection with the inner landscape of Shangyang and departed directly.

But after returning to the inner realm of Shangyang, he discovered that he had not taken with him either the Netherworld Grass he held in his hand or the white jade bottle containing the Profound Yin Jade Marrow.

A simple experiment confirmed his suspicions.

His primordial spirit travels between his Shangyang Inner Realm and the Canglan Realm, making it difficult to take away anything with a physical form.

He knew that resolving this matter wouldn't be difficult; the Ten Domains Patrol Order could be used to transport supplies.

Now, this immortal named Yingxue possesses a Guardian Angel's Token, which allows him to deliver the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow and You Xuan Ming Grass that he currently needs across realms.

But he also felt that it was unnecessary to go through all that trouble.

Because he had just made an attempt to use his primordial spirit to carry away some of the energy from this place.

He took that energy to the Shangyang Inner Realm.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Then, he raised his hand and plucked a Xuanming Yin Fruit that had condensed on a Youxuanming Grass, put it in his mouth, and with a surge of his primordial spirit power, the Xuanming Yin Fruit transformed into incomparably pure energy, which he then enveloped within his primordial spirit.

Then he put the remaining stems and leaves into his mouth.

It was also the power of his primordial spirit that stirred and was instantly refined by him, transforming into an incomparably pure energy that he contained within his body.

Following the same method, he swallowed the three Netherworld Grasses and the fruits that formed on them, which turned into an extremely pure energy, but he did not refine it.

Then, he opened the white jade bottle again, put the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow inside into his mouth, and refined it into a pure energy once more.

He expelled all the waste from his body. "Fairy, farewell! I need to return as soon as possible to refine it!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands towards the white-haired fairy, and his figure then disappeared in front of the white-haired woman.

……

Lishui Imperial Palace.

Above the waterside pavilion.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the distant sky.

As the sun rose in the eastern sky, the morning glow reflected on the lake, creating a shimmering golden light.

I quickly estimated in my mind that only a few moments had passed since he left.

"The flow of time in the two realms is indeed almost identical," he muttered to himself, then composed himself.

The next moment, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and sank his mind into his spiritual realm.

In the space of the spirit platform.

A primordial spirit radiating a faint golden light stood within.

He could feel that the energy he had just refined was brought along with him and was contained within his primordial spirit.

"It really works!" he thought to himself.

Then the thought flashed through my mind, and I cut off the distracting thoughts.

next moment.

Within his primordial spirit, the pure energy refined from the Profound Yin Jade Marrow and the Netherworld Grass instantly flowed into his body like a trickle.

In an instant.

He felt that pure, cold energy flowing into his limbs and bones.

In an instant, his body temperature plummeted, his blood began to congeal, and ice crystals began to form.

slam-la-

Then, a thought struck him, and his blood suddenly boiled, surging like a tide.

His body temperature began to rise again, and the pure, cold energy from before had been refined by his body, sending waves of cool energy soaring upwards and reaching the depths of his spiritual platform, where it manifested.

Those cool energies, one after another, gathered in his mind.

Guided by his thoughts, these cool energies then flowed into his primordial spirit.

In an instant, the originally fiery primordial spirit seemed to be baptized by sweet rain, and its fiery temper was instantly suppressed.

The original imbalance of Yin and Yang was nourished by this energy, and Yin gradually increased while Yang gradually decreased, quietly restoring balance.

Yin and Yang energies intertwined and flowed again within the primordial spirit, and the golden light and dark mysterious light gradually reached a balance. The previously disappeared layers of mysterious light also recovered somewhat.

The sense of crisis from the imbalance within his primordial spirit suddenly lessened.

He could clearly sense that the potential collapse of his primordial spirit's foundation was beginning to be temporarily alleviated.

"It really works!" He felt reassured and continued to digest the pure energy.

At the same time, a light flashed before his eyes from time to time.

[Source point +1.3]

[Source point +1.6]

[Source point +1.1]

【.】

As time passed, the imbalance within the body gradually eased, and the source points continued to grow.

After a while.

The pure energy that had been drawn in by his primordial spirit was completely refined, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"call--"

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

The rising sun gradually climbed higher in the sky.

He glanced at the distant horizon, then looked away and returned to his control panel.

[Source Point]: 158.7
Upon seeing the accumulation of source points, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

These dozens of points of source point growth all came from the Crimson Radiance Cave Heaven just now.

He made a fortune from this trip just by accumulating these source points.

Not to mention, he could feel that the imbalance in his primordial spirit had become much more balanced.

Then he closed his eyes slightly and focused his mind on his spiritual platform.

Within the spiritual platform, the primordial spirit sat cross-legged.

The black and white energies resumed their flow, and the Yin and Yang mystic light burst forth in layers, appearing almost identical to before.

Moreover, the law continues to exist as soon as the words are spoken, and a continuous stream of Yin energy is born from within the primordial spirit, which is born from the transformation of extreme Yang into Yin, and continues to maintain the balance of the foundation of his primordial spirit.

But he could also sense that this balance was only temporary.

The hidden dangers still exist.

The change in his primordial spirit was solely due to the pure Yin energy provided by the Profound Yin Jade Marrow and the Netherworld Grass, which strengthened the Yin within his body and suppressed the Yang, thus maintaining a balance between Yin and Yang.

But this balance cannot last.

Because these things, in the end, are like trees without roots and water without a source.

The imbalance between Yin and Yang still exists.

His mastery of the Sun Scriptures will eventually cause him to lose his balance of Yin and Yang.

But that power to make one's words come true will eventually fade away completely with time.

If he cannot find a way to fundamentally replenish the Yin essence, the crisis of imbalance will inevitably return sooner or later.

He then sat cross-legged on the waterside pavilion, feeling the brief balance within his body, but he felt no relief whatsoever.

As he had just observed, although the Xuan Yin Jade Marrow and the You Xuan Ming Grass had temporarily suppressed the Yang energy, it was only a temporary measure.

Just then, a sudden inspiration struck him.

"That's right, the Taiyin Stone!!"

A thought struck him, and with a wave of his hand, a wine pot appeared in his hand.

Previously, he had entered the realm of the Primordial Spirit Immortal and went to the Luo River to collect the scattered fragments of the Taiyin Stone.

Those fragments are treasures that can give birth to the Emperor's Elixir.

After his strength greatly increased and he reached a certain level, these treasures that could produce Emperor's Essence became of little use to him.

Although the Emperor's Dew is a good thing, the quantity is too small, and for him now, those supplements are like a drop in the ocean.

The resulting increase in source points is also a drop in the ocean.

But at this moment, it suddenly occurred to him.

Currently, the foundation of one's primordial spirit is imbalanced, with yang dominating and yin declining.

But the stone he named Taiyin Stone was a typical treasure containing the essence of Taiyin.

He looked at the wine pot in his hand and opened the lid directly.

In an instant, the rich aroma of wine filled the air, spreading far and wide with the gentle breeze blowing across the lake.

A rainbow suddenly appeared on the lake surface.

Then, one after another, lake carp surged towards the lakeside.

"Master!" Linglong had already appeared on the lake surface, looking at him expectantly.

He smiled when he saw this.

He then shook the wine pot in his hand, causing the wine inside to slosh around and its aroma to become even stronger.

He glanced at the spout of the pot with his right eye and saw that the wine inside had transformed into a rolling golden liquid, with highly concentrated energy within it.

"I almost forgot about this good stuff!" He chuckled, then shook his head. (End of Chapter)
