Chapter 133 Yin Gate and Yang Cultivation

With Zhong Cai's explanation, Chen Miao learned the uses of those talismans.

The [Exorcism Talisman] can imbue an object with an exorcism power. Similar to the Bloodlight Talisman, both can be used on the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.

The difference is that the exorcism talisman can be used on different items without diminishing its effect, while the blood talisman only has the best effect when used on the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.

When dealing with Zhong Fa's half-finished jumping zombie, Zhong Cai had already added an evil-repelling talisman to his peach wood sword.

Speaking of which, Zhong Cai's peach wood sword is the same as Chen Miao's, both being seven-star peach wood swords, presumably made using a method obtained from the Administration Bureau.

However, Zhong Cai didn't seem to have found any good peach wood, so his sword was inferior to Chen Miao's.

Chen Miao had seen the [Heart-Cleansing Talisman] before and knew its effects. It was even more effective when used with the Heart-Cleansing Pendant, but it was still effective even without the Heart-Cleansing Pendant.

The 【Miasma-Breaking Talisman】 can break through miasma formed by the accumulation of yin energy and evil energy.
The [Illusion-Breaking Talisman] can break through illusions such as being blinded by ghosts or trapped in a maze.

The [Guiding Talisman] is a talisman composed of a mother and child talisman. When used, the child talisman is activated and placed in a certain location. The person holding the mother talisman can then find the location of the child talisman by following the guidance between the mother and child talismans.

However, the range is only one kilometer, and the sub-symbol lasts for only one day after activation. It will become invalid if it exceeds the range or time limit.

The [Yang-Suppressing Talisman] is a talisman that, once used, can suppress the yang energy in a living person's body. With this talisman, one becomes invisible to ghosts and spirits. The Bureau's invisibility spray has a similar effect to this talisman.

Of course, the effects of the above talismans are not absolute and may be increased or decreased depending on the actual situation.

These are all the types of talismans that Zhong Cai possesses.

It must be said that Zhong Caihui's talismans are far more numerous than those recorded in "Zhong's Talismans".

But considering that Zhong Cai had been wandering for over twenty years after his master's death, Chen Miao naturally understood.

These talismans, like the "Spring Breeze in the Small Courtyard" talisman that Zhong Cai gave him, were probably learned by Zhong Cai himself over a long period of time.

"These are all. Which ones do you want?"

Chen Miao looked at the talisman box and said, "Besides the Spirit Suppression Talisman and the Yin Exorcism Talisman, give me one of each of the others!"

Counting them, Chen Miao also opened his talisman box.

"Brother, how many spirit-suppressing talismans do you need?"

Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "Four spirit-suppressing talismans and two yin-dispelling talismans."

Chen Miao reached out and took out the talisman, then took the six talismans that Zhong Cai handed over.

“After this matter is over, I plan to draw a batch of talismans.” Zhong Cai looked at Chen Miao. “I see that you are quite skilled in spirit-suppressing talismans and yin-dispelling talismans. How about this?”

"When I draw talismans next time, I won't draw these two types. I'll draw more other types, and then we can switch them out. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Miao immediately nodded.

"Yes, that's a great idea!"

Both were satisfied after the transaction was completed.

Afterwards, Zhong Cai took Chen Miao to see Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai's hair and eyebrows were originally white, and now with a layer of white gauze covering her eyes, she lay there looking like a large-sized figurine.

"He also became more sleepy after his eye injury."

Zhong Cai said something and went over to wake Xiao Bai up.

Chen Miao stopped Zhong Cai.

"Let him sleep, I don't have anything to do today."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai did not insist any further. The two then returned to the courtyard and talked about the previous livestock incident. Zhong Cai was somewhat moved when he heard about all the things that had happened afterward.

Chen Miao learned a lot about the industry from Zhong Cai.

For example, people from the Yin Sect who live in bustling cities are mostly those who are not very skilled but make a living by using their skills.

Because modern society greatly restricts the methods of those in the Yin Gate, they cannot fully display their abilities and naturally cannot master them.

Therefore, masters are usually born only in deep mountains and remote areas.

Of course, it's a different story if one becomes a master before returning to public life.

For example, other cultivators outside the Yin Sect can cultivate faster in bustling cities than in deep mountains because they have more resources.

Many things can be mass-produced using scientific methods in modern times, so cultivators don't lack basic cultivation resources, but they lack rare and precious items.

Only rare and precious resources can allow them to break through certain bottlenecks. Therefore, in this profession, whether it's the Yin-Yang sect or other paths, staying away from modern society is the only way to go further.

Zhong Cai also told Chen Miao about many memorable things he had encountered over the years, and also told Chen Miao a lot about the underworld profession.

Corpse drivers, corpse sewers, paper makers, mourners, coffin bearers, crematorium workers, feng shui masters, fortune tellers, corpse whisperers, corpse retrievers, and so on.

Although Zhong Cai only knew the general idea, Chen Miao, a complete novice, was still amazed by what he heard.

Besides the people from the Yin Gate, Zhong Cai also talked about some things related to Yang Cultivation.

The so-called Yang cultivation can also be seen as following the path of body refinement.

The D-level investigators in the Administration Bureau are actually following the path of open cultivation, but they are at the most basic stage and are not yet considered open cultivation.

True Yang cultivation does not reach the level of Yin cultivation.

Chen Miao then understood why Chen Guokun, Tong Yu, and Qi Ning all had such good physical fitness.

The two chatted for over an hour before Xiaobai woke up.

When Zhong Cai and Chen Miao went inside, to their surprise, Xiao Bai looked precisely in Chen Miao's direction and even smiled.

"Little White, can you tell who's coming?"

Zhong Cai was also puzzled.

Xiao Bai shook his head and then nodded, leaving Zhong Cai completely baffled.

Chen Miao, however, suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that Xiaobai sensed some kind of 'qi' or 'aura' on him?
So you can recognize people by their aura, and therefore don't even need to look at them?

"Was Xiaobai like this before?"

Chen Miao asked.

"I don't know, his eyes have never been damaged before."

After Zhong Cai finished speaking, he helped Xiao Bai up.

"Xiaobai, Uncle Chen Miao is here. As we agreed before, you can stay with Uncle Chen Miao for a few days, okay?"

Xiao Bai nodded, groped her way off the bed, and walked towards Chen Miao's side.

However, she seemed somewhat bewildered when she reached out to grab Chen Miao's hand.

It seems that Xiaobai's perception is only a rough estimate.

Chen Miao reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai's little hand.

Zhong Cai watched this scene and, for some reason, felt a pang of jealousy.

Afterwards, Zhong Cai moved Xiao Bai's luggage into Chen Miao's car.

"I won't go. I'll get ready and leave soon. I'll be right back."

Chen Miao nodded.

"Okay, I'll take good care of Xiaobai, don't worry."

"Then let's leave now."

After saying that, Chen Miao got into the car.

In the passenger seat, Xiaobai turned her head and leaned against the car window, 'looking' at where Zhong Cai was.

Zhong Cai smiled and patted Xiao Bai's head.

"Don't cause Uncle Chen Miao any trouble when you go. Listen to your uncle, understand?"

Xiao Bai nodded slightly.

The car starts.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Chen Miao saw Zhong Cai still waving at the car, just like an old father seeing his child off from home.
