Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 38 Guan Minghui: The Medicine is Perfected and the Elixir is Made

Guan Minghui calculated that Lu Rongbo was going to find someone to help her. According to the divination, the person she was looking for was in the south, where the water was very strong and came from underwater.

Three people will come in total, all of them women, and they are not from the orthodox Xuanmen sect...

The hexagrams calculated by the Xuan Yin Divine Calculation were very detailed. Based on Gu Chen's memories and his own understanding of the original work, Guan Minghui guessed repeatedly, only to find that none of them matched the known people.

He was still wondering who these three women were until he saw Lu Rongbo returning to Rabbit Cliff with three female immortals through the grass and trees.

Listening to their conversation, I realized that the people who had arrived were none other than the Third Phoenix, Second Phoenix, and Dongxiu from the Ziyun Palace in the South China Sea. I almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

What's going on? How did these three become Lu Rongbo's saviors?

If Guan Minghui hadn't arrived, when Lu Min discovered her daughter's pregnancy and wanted to kill her, the talisman left by the Blissful Immortal beforehand would have activated, sealing Lu Rongbo inside the mountain wall.

Having learned the whole story, Lu Min will follow the arrangements of the Blissful Immortal to undergo physical liberation and reincarnation in the North Sea.

Lu Rongbo was pregnant for twenty-one years inside the mountain wall and gave birth to Shi Sheng. After cultivating for another fifteen years, she perfected her Nascent Soul cultivation, broke through the mountain wall, and ascended to the Spirit Void Immortal Realm.

On his way to ascension, he encountered the Purple Cloud Palace preparing to refine divine sand in the tunnel and went out to find disciples and servants.

Just then, Sanfeng and Dongxiu saw the ascending Nascent Soul, used magic sand to break the spiritual light, forcibly brought the person down and took him back to Ziyun Palace, making Lu Rongbo serve in the palace.

Fifty years later, Shi Sheng joined the Emei Sect and, along with Jin Chan and others, stormed the Ziyun Palace, finally rescuing her.

Guan Minghui would never have imagined that Lu Rongbo and the Sanfeng sisters would become best friends—and even travel all the way to deal with him!

The three sisters have all cultivated to the Golden Core stage and attained the status of Loose Immortals. They also possess the demon-subduing treasures left behind by Master Lianshan, so they should not be underestimated.

But now that the arrow is already on the bowstring, it must be released.

The Emei and Wutai sects were sharpening their knives, preparing for their first sword duel, and had no time to deal with him.

He must take advantage of this window of opportunity to use the Azure Chain Sword to sever the Fire Cloud Chain.

Otherwise, once the Emei Sect has some free time, the Three Immortals and Two Elders will not only be highly skilled in magic, but also shrewd and calculating. If I were to carry the Fire Cloud Chain, I would be controlled at every turn and would be at their mercy, making it difficult to turn the tables.

He urged Cui Haike and his apprentice to finish refining the medicine as soon as possible, and instructed Ku Tie and Lin Rui to set up formations in the earth's lungs.

This time, they were not given any rest time and worked day and night. He himself sat on the stone bed and cultivated without stopping, with the black dragon guarding his side, also cultivating silently.

Guan Minghui told the black dragon, "You are of the bloodline of the Li dragon, and your nature is water. However, you are trapped in the mountains and buried deep underground, and can only cultivate by absorbing earth fire. I will teach you the Xuan Yin Great Method to collect the Xuan Yin Qi of heaven and earth to lay a foundation. Later, I will take you to a place with water to refine a water-attribute inner core. At that time, water and fire will be in harmony, tempering your body and spirit. At most, you will only need to molt twice more before you can refine the dragon pearl."

The black dragon was overjoyed and also began to cultivate the Profound Yin Great Law.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Cui Haike's elixir was finally successfully refined, consisting of two pots of Six Yang Bone-Changing Elixir and nine Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

Looking at the three gourds in front of him, Guan Minghui smiled and praised Cui Haike: "You are very good, very good."

Cui Haike was chilled to the bone by his praise, feeling the murderous aura emanating from the demon corpse growing stronger, every word laced with killing intent, as if it were about to tear him apart at any moment.

He quickly bowed and replied, "It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, senior. My contribution was insignificant and not worth mentioning."

Guan Minghui nodded. He knew that during the process of refining the medicine, Cui Haike received a message brought back by Yang Li—Hua Yaosong had asked him to tamper with the pills.

Hua Yaosong was also a master alchemist; otherwise, she wouldn't deserve the title of "Fairy of the Green Bag." She was far superior to Cui Haike in the art of alchemy. However, she didn't possess the recipes for those two pills. Hearing from Yang Li that the demon corpse wanted to refine these two immortal medicines, she guessed that the demon corpse wanted to completely revert to human form.

Guan Minghui is currently in the state of a demon corpse. After a person dies, the three souls fly away and become ghosts, while the seven spirits remain with the body and become corpses. If the body does not decay, it will eventually become a zombie.

Zombies have no soul, no memory, and act entirely on the instincts of their seven souls, only reacting to things like bloodlines.

However, if a cultivator manages to leave behind their three souls after death so that they can continue to control their body, then that is a demonic corpse.

Although demonic corpses possess a soul and spirit and can move like humans, their soul and spirit are ultimately separated, making them different from living people.

It's like plucking a chicken's feathers and then sticking them back on. The feathers are still the same feathers, and the chicken is still the same chicken, but the essence has changed.

The cultivation of both mind and body in a living person involves the mind influencing the body, and the body influencing the mind, with them sticking together, merging, spiraling upwards, and becoming one.

The demon corpse cultivates both its physical body and its spirit, but these two aspects are separated, unlike the living. They cannot refine their form with their spirit to generate yang energy, or refine their spirit with their form to dispel yin energy and ultimately reach pure yang.

The Six Yang Bone-Changing Elixir can revive the dead, restore flesh and bone, bring withered trees back to life, and bring the dead back to life. It is unparalleled in the world in its ability to preserve the physical body.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is specifically designed to strengthen the soul and concentrate the spirit, allowing the primordial spirit to be gathered and nourished, along with the three souls and seven spirits.

With these two things used, the demon corpse could very well be completely transformed into a living person, which would be a true resurrection!

Hua Yaosong took two kinds of medicine, one called Golden Prajna and the other called Immortal's Gourd.

Golden Prajna comes from the West and is a type of Manjusaka flower. After taking it, one can see Buddha's light and see gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas coming to receive them.

The Immortal's Nest can make people fall into a deep sleep as if they were drunk. The one that Hua Yaosong harvested was a hundred years old, which could make people fall into a deep sleep for a hundred days without waking up.

She instructed Yang Li to tell Cui Haike: "Add the Golden Prajna to the Golden Elixir and the Immortal's Elixir to the Jade Nectar. After the demon corpse consumes it, it will surely fall into a deep sleep, as if it were dead. Then cut off its head and limbs, and use sword talismans to pierce and suppress them..."

Cui Haike took the medicine, but didn't dare add anything to it.

He was just a wandering cultivator from overseas, without any sect or guild, and he only wanted to save his life and return to Juping Island in the South China Sea to cultivate in peace. He did not want to get involved in the struggle between Gu Chen and the Emei Sect, nor could he get involved.

Guan Minghui was well aware of these matters, which is why he praised him, saying he had done a very good job—a genuine compliment.

He looked around at the four people present, Cui Haike, Yang Li, Ku Tie, and Lin Rui, and said to them, "You have all worked hard and made great contributions over the past twenty years. Here is one golden pill for each of you, and a cup of fine wine for each of you."

After consuming the medicine, I will go to cultivate. Two days later, I have a great task to accomplish. If I succeed, we will go our separate ways, and perhaps meet again someday. If I fail, let us all die here together, so that this bond will not have been in vain.

At this moment, the five people in the cave formed a trap. Three of them were undercover agents, Guan Minghui had opened his eyes, and only Lin Rui knew nothing. His eyes were fixed on the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and his face was full of excitement and joy.

Guan Minghui took four golden pills and gave them to them, and poured four cups of fine wine. The four of them drank them and immediately returned to their respective caves to cultivate.

He himself took a golden pill and drank a cup of fine wine, and then began to cultivate. His inner core had undergone nine cycles of cultivation over the years, but it was still far from being fully developed.

This time, he intends to use the medicinal power to refine the inner core, directly transforming it into the Profound Yin Cold Flame Golden Core.

At this moment, in the Xuan Shuang Cave at Rabbit Cliff, a hundred miles away, Sanfeng couldn't help but suggest, "Now that we know where the demon corpse is, why wait any longer? Let's just charge in and get rid of it."

Dongxiu agreed: "That's exactly right! Let's quickly kill the demon's corpse, and after we finish our business, we can ask Sister Lu to show us around the beautiful scenery!"
