Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 67: The Moon is in the Sky, and a Poem is Written to Become a God
During this time, Yun Cheng went to find the Ghost Spirit Cult, while Chen Jin practiced in the mountains step by step, appearing neither anxious nor impatient.

There's no need to rush.

After several days of collection, the evil fire energy condensed on the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp, and gratifying changes have already appeared.

Chen Jin used his skills to refine the weapon with fire, just like quenching in the process of forging iron, so that the bronze turtle that was bearing Kuixing gradually revealed a magical charm.

The shape of the lamp is unique.

It was originally meant to convey a moral and bring good luck.

However, the dragon head and fish body of Aoyu are closely related to the myth of "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate", and it is also said to be Chiwen, one of the nine sons of the real dragon:
Its image itself is extraordinary, belonging to the nature of water, and can suppress evil and ward off fire. Therefore, it is widely used in eaves, halls, pavilions, etc., and is carved into reliefs to present it.

Secretly in line with the visualization method.

On the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp, this beast was cast as the base of the lamp, which was perfect as it corresponds exactly to "fire" and forms the "force of water and fire".

The lamp base has been tempered with a certain rhythm, and the next step is the lamp body, which is the statue of Kuixingjun.

This statue has a green face and red hair, and a ferocious look, looking like a ghost, but in fact it is a star god in the sky, in charge of literary fortune and fame.

But he is also known as "Kuei" and can catch ghosts and drive away evil, so he was named "the Holy Lord who Blesses and Protects the House".

So when refining it, Chen Jin came up with a new idea, which was to transform the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp into a multifunctional top-grade magical instrument, or even a magic weapon.

When we first obtained various materials, due to the lack of conditions, we could only do minor repairs and patch up the deficiencies.

Now that we have the Earthly Fire, we can actually start the furnace and forge according to the ideas in our mind.

Everything was going well on his side, and the temple master was also making good progress. By strengthening the fire in his heart, he finally burned out the scorched earth and overcame the difficulties. He was able to stand up and walk outside.

But his legs and feet don't look very agile yet.

Fortunately, these are all minor problems and can be easily solved as long as the spleen spirit can be established.

The temple master was very happy, and to express his gratitude, he asked his disciples to prepare a feast of good wine, which was set up under the old peach tree to entertain Chen Jin.

On the table, there were plates of delicious food, including the specialty Yunshan shrimp and a jar of peach blossom wine.

As the name suggests, the wine is made from the flowers of old peach trees. It is clear, sweet and full of aroma.

Drinking it can make you feel refreshed and beautify your skin.

Chen Jin sat opposite the abbot, while Yun Ning and Yun Min sat on each side, and they had a tacit understanding that Yun Min was on the master's side and Yun Ning was on Chen Jin's side.

Yun Cheng was not on the mountain these days; as for Yun Yi, he was busy teaching his apprentices. He received a disciple, the young man who kowtowed with every step when he went up the mountain that day, named "Ye Tong".

After going up the mountain to learn the initiation, Yun Min already knew that her brother was an extraordinary person, someone who could be on par with the master, or even superior to him...

All in all, it's amazing.

At first, the girl was quite surprised and confused, but she soon accepted it.

After all, this is a great thing.

What's wrong with accepting good things?

For example, the fact that she was able to enter Yunshan Temple must have been incredible to her parents, relatives, and fellow villagers, didn’t it?
The table was filled with delicious food and wine, but the master's appetite was not big. He ate very elegantly and chewed slowly, which was in stark contrast to Chen Jin who was wolfing down his food.

This is exactly the difference between the two methods of practice.

Both are "refining essence into qi", Chen Jin eats acquired valley qi, taking in the essence of various foods and transforming them into "qi";
The Master of the Temple practices the "Five Internal Organs Divine Method", which collects the five elements of heaven and earth, namely, gold, wood, water, earth and fire. He starts from the mind and focuses on refining the fire. Now that the heart temple has been completed, he can see the existence of this temple through his spirit, soul and mind.

This is also the reason why Chen Jin was able to reveal the root cause of the master's symptoms when he first saw his true form.

By extracting the essence of heaven and earth and turning it into one's own use, one does not have such a great demand for food and is quite particular about it.

This is because all kinds of food may contain various essences of heaven and earth. If you eat the wrong food, it will not only be useless for your cultivation, but may also be harmful. For example, if you are cultivating your mind like the master, eating too many cold things will be harmful if you eat too much.

Cultivation itself is a very meticulous matter.

And because everyone's aptitude is different, even if they learn the same method, the starting path may be different.

For example, among the disciples of the temple master, only the nun Yun Ning, like the master, first cultivated the mind; the eldest disciple Yun Cheng, cultivated the water-type kidney spirit; the second disciple Yun Yi started by cultivating the gold-type lung spirit.

As for Yun Min, he has just started to learn and lay the foundation first. He does not have the conditions to learn the magic.

Of course, matters concerning cultivation methods are extremely important personal secrets and will not be easily revealed.

But under Chen Jin's keen insight, these secrets could not be hidden at all and seemed transparent.

At the same time, the experienced master of the temple can also guess Chen Jin's method of practice through various details.

But it mainly relies on speculation and guesswork, so it cannot be accurate.

In a word: I really can’t understand it!
After the meal, it was already evening and a bright moon rose.

The iconic white lanterns have been hung throughout the Taoist temple, lighting up brightly.

Tonight, Chen Jin had agreed with the temple master in advance that he would not go up the mountain and would rest for one night.

Earlier at the banquet, seeing how much Chen Jin ate, both the abbot and the two girls tried to eat as little as possible and gave everything to him.

As a result, he would not be too full, and the Dharma would be in operation, refining the essence into Qi, and digesting it all into "Qi". But after drinking most of the jar of peach blossom wine, he actually felt a little tipsy.

Chen Jin looked up and said with a smile: "The moon is bright in the sky, it's so beautiful, it's so bright."

The temple master's eyes twitched: "Aning, Master Chen hasn't had enough to drink, go get another jar of peach blossom wine."

This wine is not easy to brew, and there is not much stock left, only three or five jars.

Normally, only during major festivals like the New Year would some be taken out and distributed, with each person drinking a small cup.

I didn't expect Chen Jin to be such a drinker. He almost finished two large jars by himself. He is really a huge drinker.

Soon, Yun Ning brought a new jar of peach blossom wine, opened the jar, and was about to pour it into the bowl when Chen Jin grabbed it and drank the whole jar.

Yun Ning's eyes widened.

She only drank one cup, but her cheeks were already flushed and she was a little drunk.

Now seeing Chen Jin's bold and unrestrained style, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating fast.

He gulped down the whole jar of wine in a blink of an eye. Chen Jin smacked his lips and said aloud, "Since we are drinking peach blossom wine, we should write peach blossom poems. Xiaomin, bring me paper and pen."

"it is good."

Yunmin reacted quickly, ran into the house and took out her brother's book.

Outside, Yun Ning cooperated perfectly and moved an empty table. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her jade-like wrists, and was about to help grind the ink, but saw that Yun Min had already done it skillfully, so she had to put down her sleeves silently.

The next moment, Yun Min put down the ink block again and said with a smile: "Third Senior Sister, please come and help my brother grind the ink. I can't do it well."

Yun Ning's face was full of peach blossoms: "Okay."

After the ink was ground, Chen Jin picked up the brush, dipped it in the thick ink, and began to write.

At this time, not to mention the two girls, even the temple master couldn't help but lean over to see what kind of peach blossom poem Chen Jin had written.
