From stable boy to peerless immortal

Besides these demon race inheritances, there are also some immortal cultivation methods of the human race, which should be memories engraved deep in the blood of generations of Crimson Scale Horses.

After all, the Crimson Scale Horse clan is quite extraordinary. Their ancestors were once wealthy and powerful, making them true great demons. Some of the Crimson Scale Horse royals even had good relations with powerful human beings, so it's not surprising that they have collected some human cultivation methods.

Shen Yuan removed all the incomplete or relatively superficial cultivation methods from it.

Ultimately, he set his sights on a Taoist book called "The Mysterious Instructions of Purple and Green".

This Taoist book is quite complete, and unlike most cultivation methods, it does not pursue powerful destructive force or self-defense, but focuses on nourishing the body and spirit, and strengthening the foundation and cultivating the original essence.

It emphasizes moderation and balance, without bias, and uses the absorption of the purple energy of the sun and the moonlight to refine yin and yang, thereby taking control of one's own life. It is the most orthodox and authentic method of cultivation in the Xuanmen sect, directly leading to the realm of the Golden Elixir.

Shen Yuan was very satisfied.

A balanced and peaceful approach is good!

His initial motivation for cultivation was to increase his strength and survive in the dangerous Hua Rong Mansion, but his ultimate goal was to pursue immortality!

While methods that pursue extreme lethality or extend lifespan are certainly not bad, they are prone to going astray, deviating from the right path of balance, and may even ruin future potential.

Shen Yuan did not accept this type of cultivation method.

"Martial arts cultivate qi and blood to strengthen the body, while immortality cultivates qi to nourish the spirit. The two paths are vastly different, but their ultimate goal is the same: to elevate the essence of life, transcend the boundaries of life and death, and take control of one's own destiny!"

Shen Yuan had made up his mind and had some ideas. "From today onwards, I will begin to cultivate this 'Purple and Azure Profound Origin Mystic Instructions'."

"My overt martial arts training doesn't need much concealment, and I can appropriately expose it to certain people with ulterior motives. However, my cultivation of immortality must be done with utmost care, so as not to be detected. In this way, it can be considered my trump card, or rather, my ultimate weapon!"

Shen Yuan was very clear about one thing.

Maintaining a certain degree of mystery and the unknown between people is very necessary.

At the very least, don't let others figure out your background, your thoughts, and your abilities. Otherwise, if you are too transparent in front of others, they will be able to see through your bottom line, weaknesses, likes and dislikes at a glance. That means you are easy to manipulate, easy to predict, and easier to be taken advantage of!

If the relatively peaceful and safe social environment of my previous life was like this, then the treacherous environment of Hua Rong Mansion, full of intrigue and backstabbing, is even more so.

Within the Hua Rong Mansion, powerful individuals abound.

Hua Qinglian, the withered monk, Old Man Niu, Hua Yulin... this is only a very small part of the people he has come into contact with. There are countless other, even more powerful figures hiding in the shadows, keeping their abilities secret.

Moreover, the main branch of the family is eyeing the city covetously, and some strange things have recently happened outside the city, creating a chaotic situation.

In this environment, Shen Yuan needs to protect himself.

Although he was Hua Qinglian's subordinate and Hua Qinglian treated him fairly well, it didn't mean that he would always be Hua Qinglian's man.

Because no one knows what changes will occur in the future.

But strengthening one's own capabilities is never a bad thing!

......

"The biggest benefit I gained from the Red Scale Horse's transformation this time should be this Red Sun Spirit Body."

Inside the training room, Shen Yuan sat cross-legged, introspectively examining himself.

I felt that every part of my body was in harmony, my blood and energy were incredibly strong, like a rushing river, my skin was fair and delicate, my bones were as clear as red jade, my flesh and blood were clean, and my internal organs contracted powerfully, all in perfect balance.

The whole is harmonious and unified, like a nine-aperture cauldron, which firmly locks his essence, energy and spirit in his body, guarding his original source, without leakage or leakage.

A kind of innate pure yang energy lay dormant deep within his body, like a dragon diving into the abyss or a dragon turtle hiding in the sea, as if it were nurturing some kind of creative life force.

Furthermore, in addition to significant improvements in strength, speed, and reaction time, Shen Yuan could vaguely sense that his comprehension had also undergone some subtle changes!

Shen Yuan carefully examined the matter and realized that the improvement in his talent had not led to any increase in his martial arts cultivation. During the bone refining stage, his forty-one bones remained completely hardened.

But his life essence and his potential have been significantly improved, as if he has been reborn!

This is of course a good thing.

This means that if he continues his cultivation step by step, the benefits he will gain will naturally be greater!

"However, while this Crimson Sun Spirit Body is very beneficial to my martial arts cultivation, this physique seems to be more suitable for immortal cultivation..."

Sensing the innate pure yang energy deep within his body, which lay dormant like a dragon or snake, Shen Yuan had a vague understanding.

He looked out the window and saw a bright, full moon, as large as a jade plate, hanging in the sky, radiating soft moonlight. He couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in his heart.

By pondering the key points in "The Profound Mystery of Purple and Green," he calmed his mind and easily entered the state of "sitting in oblivion and guarding the One," which many beginners dream of.

This is a special state of mind within the orthodox Taoist tradition, emphasizing the unity of body and mind, and the forgetting of self and external things.

In this state of mind, the cultivator will maintain a high level of focus and inner peace, which is very beneficial to cultivation!

As Shen Yuancun focused his mind, exhaling the old and inhaling the new, the gentle moonlight outside the window seemed to be drawn towards him, flowing in his direction.

The soft moonlight gathered around Shen Yuan's body, penetrating into him through his breathing and the pores of his skin.

The gentle, watery moonlight blended with Shen Yuan's vital energy and blood, and under the influence and guidance of his spiritual power, subtle changes occurred as the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits circulated.

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, Shen Yuan opened his eyes.

His eyes were originally bright and pure, but after learning martial arts, they carried an undisguised sharpness and brilliance, making him quite aggressive.

But now, the sharpness in Shen Yuan's eyes seemed to have been tempered, replaced by a gentle and refined charm.

Within his dantian, a wisp of luminous true energy, soft and ethereal, emanated a faint ripple, nourishing every part of his body.

After a night of cultivation and practice, Shen Yuan felt neither tired nor uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt as if he had had a good night's sleep, full of energy and vitality!

At this moment, the sun outside began to rise.

Just as the first rays of sunlight fell in the east, Shen Yuan had a sudden inspiration. He opened his mouth and inhaled, and a purple glow, as fine as silk and as smoky as mist, drifted over. Shen Yuan sensed, collected, and refined it.

This is the Great Sun Purple Qi, also known as the Morning Sun Purple Qi. It is the most yang energy that can only be born at the moment of sunrise in the early morning. It contains the mystery of yin giving rise to yang. It is more mellow than the Great Sun Qi at other times and does not have explosive energy, making it suitable for cultivation and refinement.
