Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 65: The Supreme Guest

(It’s a new week, please collect and read!)

The fire of the Earthly Evil is born from heaven and earth, and its nature is fierce and overbearing.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for cultivators to collect and refine directly, and instead they have to take roundabout means such as visualization, feeling, and comprehension.

This is the case with the abbot of Yunshan Temple.

He practiced the "Five Internal Organs Magical Technique". The heart belongs to fire, so it was just right to blend in the fire energy of the earth, which improved his cultivation.

However, the path of spiritual practice is like walking on thin ice, especially when one wants to innovate or integrate, which often means accidents and changes, and it is not so easy to wade through.

Therefore, it was not accidental that something went wrong with the master’s body.

But there is no other way. At his age, if his cultivation level does not improve, he will only regress. He can only take a risky move and see if he can make a breakthrough.

Chen Jin gave a solution to his symptoms:

Since the fire is not strong enough, add more fuel.

Where does the firewood come from?

Of course it’s on the mountain.

If it was just the master of the temple, he couldn't do it. Yun Cheng and other disciples were still at a low level and couldn't help either.

After much deliberation, he sent Yun Ning to invite Chen Jin.

Now that this Mr. Chen, who seemed to have a very important background, was right beside him, the temple master felt much more at ease and hope was rekindled in his heart.

Chen Jin took out the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp and used it to refine fire, collecting the evil fire energy into the lamp, and then purified it and stored it.

In this process, no magic is used, but rather the power of divine thoughts and magic is used to guide.

Of course, to outsiders, this is just a magical skill.

There is an old saying, "One force can break all laws."

The "force" here often represents great strength, brute force, and supernatural power.

But it can also be interpreted as "divine power".

To put it bluntly, as long as the power of the mind is strong enough, it can break all kinds of spells and make use of them at will.

This is because the vast majority of Taoist magical powers are the application of divine thoughts and magical power.

Writing characters into symbols is a typical example.

A normal cultivator needs to use many tools to draw talismans, such as special talisman paper, talisman pens, cinnabar, etc. The runes must be drawn meticulously, and not a single stroke can be wrong, so that they can have a powerful effect.

But Chen Jin simply ignored these formal restrictions.

It is like "breaking all laws with one force" at a higher level.

The man sat cross-legged on the ground with the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp placed in front of him. As his thoughts moved, countless evil fire energies gathered towards the lamp like dew falling on grass leaves.

Seeing this, the master of Yunshan Temple did not dare to delay and quickly began to refine the fire.

Like the light of the eyes, it expanded and contracted, turning into a mouth, constantly absorbing the fire contained in the hot wind.

After one draw, I was overjoyed.

In the past, when he came to collect the evil fire energy from the earth, he didn’t dare to go so high, but instead stayed by the hot springs below.

Even so, the fire poison impurities contained in the fire energy made him feel quite uncomfortable. On the one hand he had to be careful and cautious, and on the other hand he had to filter them carefully, which resulted in his practice efficiency being quite low, not very high.

However, now, with Chen Jin next to him, most of the violent anger was attracted to him, and the remaining degree was just right for the situation of the Master of Yunshan Temple.

"Okay, great!"

The master of the temple couldn't help but be delighted.

However, he has practiced for many years and his mind is quite stable. He understands that in the current situation, no matter whether he is happy, angry, sad or happy, they are all distractions, and he should abandon them as soon as possible and concentrate on practicing. Yunshan is high and steep, with cliffs on three sides, and half of the peak is submerged in the clouds. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland, but when you are there, you can find that the mountain wind is howling and the anger is boiling. It is not a good place.

After an unknown amount of time, the master suddenly shuddered, and the light in the lantern had expanded to the size of a fist:

"It's full! Master Chen, it's full today!"

Chen Jin opened his eyes, revealing a trace of fatigue: "Okay, let's go down."

He reached out and took the Kuixing Wenhuo Lantern.

The temple master took a quick glance, but unfortunately couldn't see clearly.

But obviously, with his level of absorption, he could collect so much evil fire energy. One can imagine the amount of fire energy in Chen Jin's lamp.

It must be several times more.

The master of the temple is not jealous. Everyone’s situation is different. How can a cup be compared with a wooden barrel?
He was already satisfied with tonight's efficiency.

If he could keep it up, then maybe in just a month, his real body would be able to stand up again.

On the way down the mountain, Chen Jin asked, "Didn't you say that there was a terrifying monster guarding the Earthly Evil Fire Spring? Why is there no movement?"

The temple master hurriedly said, "I'm not sure if it's a monster or something unknown. I only noticed something strange when I was absorbing fire energy. That time, it was like a dragon turning over, and some huge rocks on the top of the mountain rolled down. Fortunately, no one was hit."

Chen Jin nodded slightly and pondered.

Given his current situation, it would be wise for him to collect the evil fire energy from the periphery, as he is unable to go deeper to experience it for the time being.

As a result, Yunshan's strategic position has risen sharply and must be well controlled.

I returned to the inner courtyard with the lantern. The eastern sky was turning pale and dawn was approaching.

Chen Jin sat down and suddenly asked, "Master, is there a position for worship or supreme elder in your Taoist temple?"

Although the temple master was dull, he was not stupid. He heard the hidden meaning and said hurriedly, "It didn't exist originally, but Master Chen proposed it, so from now on, it exists."

In fact, he was secretly delighted and had already been thinking about how to keep Chen Jin in the Taoist temple.

The title of "distinguished guest" sounds somewhat unfamiliar.

As for guests, they can come and go as they please. They are just guests and have no close relationship with the Taoist temple itself.

If it is changed to a worshiper or an elder, the name will suddenly be different.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Given my situation, if I come directly as a worshiper, it will inevitably cause gossip. Besides, I am not a Taoist priest, I don't know the "Five Internal Organs Divine Law", and it is not appropriate for me to be an elder."

The abbot thought for a while and said, "Then I'd better be a guest official, and add the prefix 'Taishang' in front of it. Yes, Taishang guest official, it sounds nice and has weight."

Chen Jin: "Just listen to the master."

Soon, the temple master called two disciples to announce this unofficial personnel news. He also sent people to clean up a side hall in the inner courtyard as the residence of the Supreme Guest Official. As for daily food and other things, they were provided according to the highest standards of the Taoist temple, and no negligence was allowed.

The Supreme Guest?

Hearing this somewhat inappropriate name, Taoist Yun Cheng was a little speechless.

Everyone knows that this position was tailor-made for Chen Jin.

However, the two disciples and the Taoist priests in charge had no objection to the master's order and there was no way for them to oppose it.

In Yunshan Taoist Temple, the master of Yunshan Temple has the final say and he never goes back on his word.

After resolving the identity issue in the Taoist temple, Chen Jin began to ask Yun Cheng: "I heard from the temple master that you have had contact with the Ghost Spirit Cult and know a lot about them. Can you tell me about it?"

"Ghost Spirit Cult?"

Hearing this name, Yun Cheng said angrily: "This so-called divine religion is actually a heretical sect, it is not human and is very vicious."
