Chapter 77: Yin and Yang in the Ice Sky

Forty-one days passed in the blink of an eye.

Just before dawn, clouds and winds arose in Tianchi Mountain, startling Xu Heng who was sitting cross-legged on a pine branch.

He had absorbed the power of the moon overnight and was waiting for the sunrise. Suddenly he saw this scene and an idea occurred to him: "Could it be that the Xuanyin Immortal Marrow Pill is about to be born?"

He stood up and looked into the distance, and saw that the place where the wind and clouds gathered was indeed on Danding Peak. He could not help but be even more surprised.

According to legend, if an elixir is too powerful, it may bring about a heavenly calamity when it comes into the world. I didn't expect that the Xuanyin Immortal Marrow Pill would have such an honor. Although its momentum is not as grand as the legend, it is indeed worthy of the name of "elixir".

"Yes, if it is not an elixir, how can it be called 'reversing destiny', and how can it 'repair the heaven and return to its source', so that mortals can obtain superior talents?"

Xu Heng knew without even thinking that it was not an easy task for Taoist Tongtai to open the furnace to refine the elixir.

He kept this in mind and waited silently while looking at the alchemy cauldron from afar. After about three hours, the momentum of the gathering wind and clouds seemed to have reached its limit. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and a silver-white lightning struck down, hitting somewhere in the Sifang Hall.

Soon, the strange phenomenon disappeared and the sky and earth suddenly became clear.

At this time, the daylight began to shine into Tianchi Mountain. However, Xu Heng had temporarily put aside the refining of Yin and Yang, and rode on the flame to Danding Peak. When he arrived in front of the Sifang Palace, he saw two people already waiting.

One of them was the boy of Taoist Tongtai. In his hand was a jade plate covered with fine silk. In the plate was an exquisite small box, which contained a piece of dark blue ice.

The other person was Meng Fusheng.

Seeing Xu Heng coming, he was also a little surprised and said politely, "I was wondering who could ask Master to start refining the elixir. It turns out to be Junior Brother Xu."

Xu Heng had not seen Meng Fusheng since the Dharma Assembly. He raised his hand to return the greeting and said, "I don't have the face to do this. It's all thanks to Master."

Meng Fusheng smiled and said, "Then it is thanks to my junior brother that I can watch my master refine the elixir."

No wonder Meng Fusheng was here. It turns out there was such a trick. Xu Heng could only smile when he heard it.

"Alright." Meng Fusheng pointed at the jade plate in the Taoist boy's hand and said, "This is the Xuanyin Immortal Marrow Pill. Because this pill cannot be exposed to the outside, when you take it, you should swallow this ice together with it, and then use your internal energy to melt the ice."

"I see." Xu Heng took the small box containing the Xuanyin Xiansui Pill and put it away. Meng Fusheng then said, "To take this pill, you need to be in a cold and gloomy place. It is best to have a strong spiritual power. Junior brother, are you prepared?"

Xu Heng thought of Bing Jietian's token, and finally understood. He replied, "That's for my little brother."

Meng Fusheng smiled and said, "In that case, I have also gained a lot from watching Master refine the elixir. I will be going back to retreat soon, so I won't see you off."

Xu Heng bowed, then rode away on fire.

He went straight back to the cave, closed the door, caught all the little creatures that were sleeping comfortably, rushed to another quiet room, opened the restriction again, and then slowly raised his hand.

Xu Heng exerted some magical power, and the golden talisman appeared in his palm.

"Ice Extreme Heaven..." Xu Heng immersed his mind in the talisman, and suddenly he was in a trance. Xu Heng didn't even feel anything unusual, but suddenly he felt a gust of cold wind blowing, which made him shiver and refreshed his spirit.

He came back to his senses and found himself in a completely different environment. He immediately understood: "Have we arrived at the Ice Age?"

He glanced around and found that wherever he looked, it was a frozen land. Everything in all directions was ice-blue, and the temperature was incredibly low, several times colder than in the snowy mountains. Even Xu Heng had to use some magic power to protect himself to endure it.

Xu Heng released his perception again and found that this place was indeed full of inspiration. After thinking for a while, he found another direction and walked in. Although he soon reached the end of the ice wall, there was a cave on the ice wall. After walking in and winding back and forth, he arrived at another ice cave.

He wandered around for half an hour without finding any 'entrance or exit'. He thought this place was incredibly large. Considering the name 'Bingjitian', he had a vague guess about this place.

If what he guessed was correct, this Bingjitian was indeed the "Heavenly Hole" of Tianchi Mountain. He just didn't know whether it was naturally formed, or like the Heavenly Hole of Taiguang Mountain, it was brought together by magical powers?

But no matter what, this place is not only cold and peaceful, but also full of spiritual energy and far superior to the outside world. It is a perfect place to take the Xuanyin Xiansui Pill.

Xu Heng didn't think any more and chose an ice cave that was not too wide. He also set up prohibitory warnings on the entrance passage.

This is to be on the safe side, in case a fellow disciple is also in the Ice Pole and accidentally disrupts his practice.

After doing all this, Xu Heng found a flat place, sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing and meditated. After calming his mind, he took out the ice cubes and dragon power grass that wrapped the Xuanyin Xiansui Pill.

Xu Heng thought about it and swallowed the ice cube first. The ice cube was really cold and hard. He had to rely on his magic power to send it into his stomach smoothly. But he did not rush to melt it. Instead, he put the dragon power grass into his mouth.

This thing is created by nature. Although it grows in the shape of a plant, once it enters the mouth, it turns into a stream of air and flows down the throat and tongue.

Xu Heng had no time to feel it, and quickly used his magic power to melt the ice in his stomach. Suddenly, a chilling cold air swept out and spread towards Xu Heng's internal organs.

Unexpectedly, the cold air rushed into the internal organs, even reaching the smallest parts, and then burst out from Xu Heng's body as intense heat.

This heat was not dryness, stuffiness, or hot flashes, but a simple feeling, as if his flesh, his meridians, and his bone marrow were all glowing, illuminating his body inside and out, and burning away all impurities.

“So that’s how it is.” Xu Heng was shocked: “Xuanyin Immortal Marrow, Xuanyin is the basis, it transforms into Immortal Marrow, it reverses the immortal pill created by fate, it turns out that it is also the principle of Yin and Yang changes.”

Yue Baiying is the pure essence of moonlight and Yin energy. If his guess is correct, the other materials for refining Xuanyin Xiansui Dan must also be Yin. However, the refined Xuanyin Xiansui Dan contains the principle that Yin produces Yang!
The mysterious Yin Qi penetrates into the body, and the 'immortal marrow' produced is the Yang within the Yin, and it is also the real thing that repairs the sky and returns to the source!

However, this process is probably not short. No wonder he has to go to the Ice Pole to take the elixir, because the cold air can help Xu Heng subdue the "heat" of the negative pole generating the positive pole, and there is also abundant spiritual energy for him to breathe.

Moreover, the principle that yin generates yang also coincides with the true meaning of "Shangying Zhenyang Baolu". Taking the Xuanyin Xiansui Pill this time will not only help Xu Heng complete his immortal bones, but also provide him with a rare opportunity to practice.

Not only that, there is also the good fortune of the Dragon Power Grass...

Xu Heng had a hunch that when he came out of retreat, any practice in the Xuanguan realm might be within his reach.
