I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 860 Old grudges

After that, Yu Hua began to teach his disciples. Although he said he was teaching his disciples, he actually only passed down some basic magic skills. After that, he became a hands-off boss and left things to his eldest disciple Si Yizhen and second disciple Li Ming.

This eldest disciple Si Yizhen is also extraordinary. He has followed Yu Hua for five years. Countless other disciples have died, but he is the only one who has truly received some true teachings. He was even fortunate enough to read the original version of "Taiyin Zhenwen". This is why he was able to survive the last practice.

He was diligent and capable, and was very much liked by Yu Hua. No matter what task was given to him, he completed it very well, so he was asked to collect and refine medicine and make magic tools. Now it was his persuasion that made Yu Hua have some ideas of training disciples instead of treating them as consumables.

Except for the first two days when Yu Hua demonstrated in person, the rest of the Taoist techniques were taught by Si Yizhen. Although he was called the eldest brother, he was actually half a master.

Since Li Ming already had some basic knowledge, Yu Hua directly taught him some of the Taoist methods he had comprehended from the "Taiyin Zhenwen". These methods were in line with the "Taiyin Soul Refining" that Li Ming knew. No wonder Yu Hua said that Li Ming's foundation was on the same path as his.

In just three to five days, Li Ming transformed the foundation of "Taiyin Soul Refining" into "Taiyin General Three Thousand Soul Preserving Method" and made rapid progress, reaching the realm of Mingfa, and was on par with Si Yizhen.

This shocked Si Yizhen very much, but fortunately Li Ming had a calm temperament and got along well with others. He did not fight or compete, and did not form cliques or groups. Only then did Si Yizhen let down his guard.

The progress of others was not satisfactory. After half a month, they could hardly even sense the Qi. What surprised Li Ming was that the black girl named Fu Yingyun had very poor aptitude. According to Yu Hua, she was like a stubborn stone that was difficult to nod.

You know, Li Ming knew that this woman would have many troubles in the future, so how could she be so unbearable?

And within this small group, starting from Yu Hua and below, they were immediately divided into different levels.

Yu Hua's method of selecting people was correct. He had indeed checked the qualifications of the others. The rich young man, the girl with ponytails, and a taciturn young man all had above-average aptitudes. Although the others had better personalities, the first step in entering the Tao was very difficult for them.

Within half a month, the three of them had sensed the energy and embarked on the path of cultivation, but the others were still wandering in front of the door and unable to enter.

When half a month was up, Yu Hua's patience ran out. He no longer gave them time to practice slowly and continued on his journey, searching for wronged souls and evil spirits everywhere. He also had to go to the cemetery to find the powerful zombies, subdue them, and refine their bones.

So the group began their wandering journey, having to travel during the day and summon spirits at night. They encountered countless dangers. If it weren't for Li Ming and Si Yizhen's dedicated protection, I'm afraid the other people would have died long ago.

Half a year had passed, and now all nine of Yu Hua's disciples had finally entered the stage of sensing Qi. Even Fu Yingyun, who had the worst physique, had finally gained Qi. They were able to set up magic circles, and the risk factor dropped sharply when they went to summon souls, which also saved Yu Hua a lot of effort. After that, their tacit understanding became stronger and stronger, and their efficiency increased day by day, far better than when the disciple died and was used at will before.

Yu Hua finally truly recognized Si Yizhen's idea and slowly passed down more spells to them, even giving them all the twelve mantras from the first volume of Taiyin Mantra for their study. This was exactly what Li Ming was waiting for. With his natural talent, understanding, and past experience, his limitations had always been his inability to perform. Once he mastered the mantra, not to mention instant ascension, it would be like adding wings to a powerful tiger.

Li Ming, who had comprehended a set of skills that could be used to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, was too lazy to give it a name and simply called it "Nine Yin Manual". However, this method was only based on the twelve runes in "Tai Yin Manual", and was filled with Li Ming's past accumulation and flesh and blood. There were inevitably some inaccuracies in it, not to mention the higher-level "Primordial Spirit" and "Tribulation", which were even more like castles in the air, the moon in the water, and the flower in the mirror, which were out of reach.

There is a saying in this world that there is no regret for making the golden elixir. If something goes wrong with the golden elixir, there is no hope of immortality in this life. Therefore, Li Ming did not dare to make the elixir with it easily. He just accumulated a lot of magic power in the "Ming Fa" stage and had a strong magic power. Even Yu Hua asked him several times when he planned to make the elixir, and gave him a few days to repair it, but Li Ming said that he still wanted to polish his foundation.

Of course, in fact, he passed on the "Nine Yin Scriptures" that he had comprehended to other people. They were brothers in the same school, but Li Ming and Si Yizhen were their real masters. Li Ming just admitted that this method was comprehended by himself, and his faster practice was all due to this. There was no need for Li Ming to promote it. These brothers with worse qualifications were all scrambling to learn it. Naturally, they would not refuse the guinea pigs that were delivered to their doorstep.

Another half year passed like this, and except for Fu Yingyun, everyone else had already reached the 'Ming Fa' realm. However, they lacked the foundation to form pills. After all, they had followed Yu Hua around the country, fighting zombies and subduing evil spirits, but they were not lucky enough to meditate and refine pills. They were able to make such rapid progress thanks to Li Ming's quiet guidance.

Nearly two years passed like this, and this small sect with only ten people in total became quite prominent. Each person even held a magic flag, the power of which was even greater than Guangwei's flag. The disciples of Jiu Ming joined forces to set up a large formation with this flag, and even ordinary Jindan cultivators could fight against them.

It is a professional match for dealing with wandering ghosts and wild spirits. Even the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost King would be defeated. Yu Hua himself has even mastered two powerful magic weapons, and his strength has greatly improved.

But for some reason, Yu Hua's face has always looked bad recently, and he often sighs and looks sad.

This made all the disciples very curious. Their master had a strange personality. Although he practiced Taoism, he was emotionally weak and rigid. He never showed any affection. How could he be so abnormal?

However, he was extremely strict in his rule and everyone was afraid of him, so no one dared to ask. However, Si Yizhen saw that his master sighed more and more frequently, and finally he could not bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and asked after a practice session.

"I don't know why Master has been so depressed lately, but is there something pent up in his heart?"

When asked this question, everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Yu Hua cautiously.

Yu Hua also sighed deeply, uncharacteristically, and then said, "Since I obtained the Heavenly Book, I have diligently cultivated day and night, seeking only to attain the Tao and become an immortal, free and unfettered. However, no one guided me into the Tao in my early years, and I misjudged people, so I was tricked by a treacherous person. I lost the original Heavenly Book and barely escaped with my life. Furthermore, I became a sworn enemy of that person. After he obtained my Heavenly Book, his cultivation level greatly increased. For years, he has been searching for me, intending to send me down the reincarnation cycle. This is why I have never settled down in the sect and have been traveling far and wide."
