Pure Yang!

Chapter 152: The Three Corpses of Yuandan in Yujing City! Stealing Life from the Killing, and Growing Golden Lotus in the Burning House
A thousand-year-old demon, he is well versed in the past affairs of the Taoist Sanshi and knows the secrets of the Wuwei Sect.

He even knows the ins and outs of such a rare item as [Wanzhenxiang].

Zhang Fan became more and more suspicious about this person's identity. He always felt that this [Thousand-Year-Old Demon] seemed to be right next to him. Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence that he had just updated such a post after failing to break through to the [High Power] level with the help of [Agarwood].

"Thousand-year-old demon..."

Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the gray avatar on the screen and fell into deep thought.

At the end of the article, Zhang Fan wrote:

"The Three Corpses are the great calamity of heaven and earth, the great calamity of the gods and immortals. They have always existed since ancient times, and they are immortal in life and death..."

"The heaven and earth have their own time for waxing and waning. Only by carefully examining the news can one know the opportunity. The Geng and Jia have issued a clear order. It is expected that all three corpses will be killed."

"It is expected that all three corpses will be killed... It is expected that all three corpses will be killed..."

Zhang Fan murmured softly, chewing on this Taoist secret language.

"Come to my office."

At this moment, a big, broad hand fell on Zhang Fan's shoulder, bringing his thoughts back to reality.

Zhang Fan turned his head and saw Bai Bu Ran had turned around and walked into his office. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up and followed him in.

"There is a batch of goods, please deliver it."

As he spoke, Bai Bu Ran took out a delivery note from the drawer and handed it to Zhang Fan.

"Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance? They ordered three thousand talisman papers!?" Zhang Fan whispered.

Talismans are one of the most common means used by Taoists. In actual combat, they can save true yang and physical strength, and the means are varied, so they can be regarded as the most popular consumables.

Just like Jiang Hulu, he usually carries at least dozens of talismans on his body, of as many as five or six types.

Ever since the Shen family was finished, the talisman business in Yujing City has been divided up among the various families. Ye Buliang naturally got a piece of the pie, especially the business with the Taoist Alliance, which is not something that everyone can do.

"What are they doing?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

If three thousand pieces of talisman paper were all transformed into offensive talismans, the firepower would be enough to make any demon or monster tremble in fear.

The Jiangnan Province Taoist Alliance's headquarters is located in Yujing City, and there are not many opportunities to actually take action. Although field staff are equipped with a certain number of talismans, the sudden arrival of such a large order still seems a bit abnormal.

"The Taoist Alliance has a relevant budget for this every year. As for how people spend it, how much they spend, and how they report the expenses in the end..." Bai Bu Ran said.

He suddenly stopped talking halfway.

"Why am I telling you this?" Bai Buran touched his chin and said calmly, "The world has been in turmoil recently. In order to maintain public order, protect people's lives and safety, and subdue demons, we naturally need to prepare more talismans..."

As he spoke, Bai Bu Ran knocked on the table and said, "Just deliver the goods. Do more work and talk less."

"I understand."

Zhang Fan nodded, picked up the delivery note, and walked out of the office.

Three thousand sheets of talisman paper, five large boxes... Lao Yu and Jiang Hu had already loaded them into his car.

Zhang Fan drove the Five Spirits Rainbow Light straight to the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League. Now, he almost became the liaison between Ye Buliang and the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League, mainly responsible for this business, and became a non-staff member of the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League.

When they arrived at the place, Zhang Fan was familiar with the route. He unloaded the boxes of talisman papers and carried them into the courtyard.

These talisman papers still need some simple processing. However, the Taoist priests of the Taoist Alliance will draw talismans and refine them according to needs before they can be used normally.

The three thousand pieces of talisman paper were purchased by the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance. If it were a noble family like the Xiong family or the Wang family, they would definitely have to go through an inspection and obtain relevant approval documents.

After all, this is a regulatory legal instrument.

"Zhang Fan, you're here again."

Just after the handover, Sui Chunsheng came over and greeted me.

"Who made your Taoist Alliance a big customer!?" Zhang Fan said softly.

Wen He said that since returning from Gusu City, the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance has given Ye Buliang a lot of orders, and three thousand pieces of talisman paper are just the tip of the iceberg.

Today, the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance accounts for 40% of the business that never gets dark, and can be said to be the real breadwinner.

"In my opinion, you should just come to our Dao League. After all, you are in the system, with a stable job and a salary from the emperor..."

Sui Chunsheng whispered, "Do you know how many people from Dongshan Province apply for the exam every year? They are all trying their best to get in."

"Dongshan Province takes the exam with Jiangnan Province?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"They don't have enough places in their province. There are too many people taking the exam, so they have to divert them to other provinces." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

The obsession of the people in Dongshan Province with the system is simply unimaginable.

"Forget it, your threshold is too high." Zhang Fan shook his head.

Is it so easy to join the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League? There are requirements for academic qualifications, background, personal cultivation, etc. The most important thing is that you must take an exam before you can join.

"You don't have to worry about the exam. You are a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain and have assisted our Taoist Alliance before. We can get you a quota for the introduction of special talents. You will be exempt from the exam. You just need to pass the political review." Sui Chunsheng said in a low voice.

"Passed the political review..." Zhang Fan curled his lips and hesitated to speak.

This is probably the aspect he is most unable to pass.

His father is the spiritual king of the great clan, and his mother is a member of the previous generation. Oh my god, just think about the relationship, it would be a great honor for him to be able to survive and not go to jail.

"Don't disbelieve it. Ma Buting got in this way." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

"Ma Buting...By the way, how is his promotion to senior meritorious official?" Zhang Fan changed the subject and asked.

"Success." Sui Chunsheng's expression became a little strange.

"only……"

"Just what?"

"His reputation has not been very good recently."

Sui Chunsheng looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he walked up to Zhang Fan and whispered something.

When the white crane was born, it was suddenly hit by a demonic calamity. Some people said that this was a punishment from God and that a high priest was not allowed to accept the white crane.

People outside privately said that this descendant of the Three Emperors School must have done some shameful things in secret that were against the will of Heaven and had caused the wrath of God, which led to this warning.

"Now some people secretly call him the little devil hiding in the Taoist team."

"This... is a bit too much." Zhang Fan curled his lips.

Killing is not the right way to go, and destroying the heart is not the right way to smear the person. Ma Buting in the human world is a famous and upright person who has contributed to the organization. It is a bit too much to label him as a devil behind his back.

"Don't worry about him. He is now at the level of [High-ranking Official], and his title and treatment are different." Sui Chunsheng sighed.

Gao Gong is a true master no matter where he is, and the backbone of all sects and schools.

Such an existence has a promising future in the Taoist Alliance. It is possible that the position of the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Taoist Alliance may fall into his hands in the future.

"That's true." Zhang Fan nodded.

"By the way, I might need your help in a couple of days."

At this moment, Sui Chunsheng suddenly changed the subject.

"Helper? Would it be another incident like what happened at the old house last time?" Zhang Fan said with a strange expression.

"Do you know why our Dao League suddenly ordered so many talisman papers?"

"Why?" Zhang Fan asked subconsciously.

"Something big is about to happen." Sui Chunsheng pulled Zhang Fan aside and whispered.

"Big move?"

Zhang Fan's heart tightened, and he suddenly became alert. Could it be that they were going to arrest him? ?
"Someone came from above a few days ago..."

Sui Chunsheng was naturally referring to He Ningyan. She came to Yujing City this time just to protect Ma Buting. She came with a mission.

"Tracing the whereabouts of a treasure?" Zhang Fan became curious as he listened to Sui Chunsheng's description.

"What baby?"

"I'm not sure about that. They were originally transported to Beijing, but were robbed in Dongshan Province..." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice, "The higher-ups were shocked. I heard that they sent more than a dozen investigation teams to the neighboring provinces and cities of Dongshan Province..."

Jiangnan Province is close to Dongshan Province, so it was natural to find Yujing City.

"Such a big scene!?" Zhang Fan seemed to be thinking about something.

"When we have clues, we might even need you to help us." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

He knew Zhang Fan's strength. If the Jiangnan Provincial Alliance was short of manpower, he would naturally not let go of such a powerful foreign aid.

If he can really achieve something by then, it will be a credit, so he is willing to reveal some inside information and give a heads up in advance.

"I understand. No problem." Zhang Fan nodded. He has always been good at this kind of thing of taking advantage of the situation.

"By the way, does your Jiangnan Provincial Dao League have any database, library, or something like that?"

Zhang Fan suddenly changed the subject and asked.

After all, the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League is in charge of all matters of the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League. Perhaps there are clues to [Wan Zhenxiang] hidden there, or perhaps a solution to his inability to break through to high levels can be found here.

"Of course there is, but it is only open to internal users." Sui Chunsheng whispered.

"Is that so..." Zhang Fan looked disappointed.

"You are not a outsider, I can take you in." Sui Chunsheng took out a card and smiled.

The library of the Jiangnan Province Taoist Alliance does contain some secret Taoist books and ancient classics... It also often organizes learning and exchanges among the Taoist families and hermits of various sects in Yujing City.

As for those secret files and materials, they will naturally not be easily opened to the public.

"Thank you very much." Zhang Fan smiled and followed Sui Chunsheng into the small building.

At this time, on the third floor, in an office.

A pair of beautiful eyes were watching everything in the compound. When she saw Zhang Fan following Sui Chunsheng into the building, He Ningyan slowly withdrew her gaze.

"He is Zhang Fan!?"

"Good!" Ma Buting leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, looking calm and composed.

After several days of recuperation, he had completely forgotten about Bai He's disaster and was back to his best condition.

Now, he has reached the [High Power] level and his strength is incomparable to what it was before.

"It looks ordinary and nothing special." He Ningyan said lightly.

"But he was able to refine the Taoist True Fire and break your [Three Yin Demon-Slaying Blade]. It seems that he has some unique features."

"I'd be interested in meeting this person."

He Ningyan crossed her hands in front of her chest, a gleam of brilliance flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her abundant confidence.

"Senior Sister, are you going to take action?" Ma Buting's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"There's no need to be too deliberate. This person is not worth my fuss." He Ningyan shook her head and said lightly.

"Let's get down to business first. If we can recover the treasure this time, it will be a great achievement, and your entry into the organization will be a foregone conclusion."

"Senior Sister, what treasure was lost that is worth such a big fuss and makes you so nervous!?" Ma Buting was a little curious. The confidentiality work was done too well. It has been airtight until now. Even he, a junior brother, does not know the inside story.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you now. That thing is most likely in Yujing City."

He Ningyan has been busy these days, investigating openly and secretly, and finally has some clues.

"What kind of treasure is it?" Ma Buting asked.

"Three Corpse Yuandan!"

He Ningyan slightly opened her lips and uttered a name.

"What!?"

When Ma Buting heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

……

Fifth floor, library.

As soon as he came in, Zhang Fan smelled a scent of books, like the aroma of incense or medicine, which made him feel indescribably comfortable and refreshed.

"The Taoist books here are all ancient secret books, you can read them by yourself." Sui Chunsheng introduced.

"I still have work to do, take your time."

"You go ahead and do your work. Thanks."

Zhang Fan nodded, watched Sui Chunsheng leave, turned around and plunged into the ocean of knowledge.

It has to be said that the vast collection of books in the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League allows one to glimpse the ancestors' desire to seek the truth from heaven, their wisdom to transcend the ordinary and become saints, their compassion for the world, and their grace in paving the way for future generations.

Since ancient times, all Taoist practitioners, fearing that the secrets would be leaked, dared not speak directly about Taoism. Therefore, there are images of medicine, furnaces, and fire, and fables of Qiankun, Kanli, dragon and tiger, lead and mercury. There are too many cryptic words and secret phrases.

But there are still people like Chunyang Patriarch and Haichan Liuzu who feel sorry for the fact that people are ignorant of the great way of the golden elixir and fall into the wrong path, so they leave behind secret books on the elixir and pass on methods of cultivation.

"Nature and life are originally one in the prenatal stage, and must be cultivated in their entirety in the postnatal stage. In general, the work of action is to realize life, and the way of inaction is to realize nature. When both nature and life are realized, action is inaction, and the postnatal stage is the prenatal stage. This is the so-called supreme and true way..."

"There are two sects: the sect of nature and life. The sect of nature is the origin of the wonderful consciousness of the saints and the ordinary people, and everyone can learn about it. The sect of life is the effect of the golden elixir that transcends the ordinary and enters the sainthood, and only a true master can enlighten you..."

Zhang Fan was eager to read the Taoist secret scrolls one after another. His aura gradually became one, his consciousness gradually became quiet, his primordial spirit suddenly rose, his thoughts rushed like lightning, and in a flash, his spiritual light was like a sea of ​​stars and rivers, vast and boundless...

Suddenly, light and shadow surged in his mind, as if dusty memories were rising and falling at this moment.

"Mom, today is a rest day, so you don't have to practice."

In the Zhang family's old house, the young Zhang Fan was sleepy and expressed his dissatisfaction.

It was still dark, but when I looked up I could vaguely see the setting moon.

"Your dad is not home today, so I can teach you these."

The contemptuous but powerful words echoed in Zhang Fan's mind. In his memory, his mother's figure was still blurry.

"Why?" young Zhang Fan asked dissatisfiedly.

"What your father taught you is the craft passed down from your Zhang family. What I am teaching you now is a secret secret."

There was a hint of seriousness in my mother's words. There was no longer the usual laughter, playfulness, and mother-son affection.

"To learn about immortality, one must learn about celestial immortality... In the Book of Changes, Qian represents heaven. Qian is a body of pure yang, pure and refined, strong and incorruptible, that is, the Dharma nature of the eternal diamond, the primordial spirit that is indestructible for all eternity. Because the celestial body is pure yang, Qian is metaphorically called heaven, and it is not comparable to the heavens in the three realms..."

The mother's words filled the young Zhang Fan's eyes with confusion, as if they were making sense and were not.

"If you want to achieve the Pure Yang Infinite Realm, the key lies in [reversal]. The top inner alchemy methods are all methods of achieving immortality in reverse, and even the nine great inner alchemy methods are no exception..."

"Kan and Li interact to produce medicine, Qian and Kun interact to produce elixir. It is always a wonderful way of using them, but there are too few people who truly understand this principle."

The mother kept talking to herself, completely ignoring whether young Zhang Fan understood.

"In the common way of Yin and Yang, fire is born from wood, water is born from metal, and if it is carried out in a proper way, life will turn into death. Therefore, the smooth flow of the five elements is a fire pit in the Dharma Realm, which is called a great disaster in the [Yin Fu Jing], and it will definitely defeat the way of the elixir..."

"The reversed effect is wonderful. Water turns into gold, fire turns into wood, and vice versa, killing turns into life. The so-called reversed five elements, the seven treasures of the earth..."

Having said this, the mother grabbed young Zhang Fan's hand, her eyes fixed as she gave him a solemn warning.

"Practice is to steal the life force from the murderous intention, to reverse it into the law, to turn the killing into life..."

"If I can control my own life, then I can plant a golden lotus in the fire. Xiao Fanfan, if you can plant a golden lotus in the true fire... and use it wisely, then your method will be successful."

At this point, the words were like the sound of a huge bell, awakening the deaf, and echoing in Zhang Fan's mind.

"The inverted magic is used to make a lotus grow in a burning house!!"

Zhang Fan's body shook violently, and his soul left his body, but there was a real fire burning, which did not burn everything but only burned his body. In an instant, a terrifying aura shook up, soaring into the sky, and was extremely powerful.

"Um!?"

At this moment, in an apartment in the south of Yujing City.

At the head of the bed, the flickering candlelight suddenly went out. Li Yishan, who was still sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, looked out the window, and looked in the direction of the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League.
