Since Li Yang broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, his status has been equivalent to that of an elder of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, and he has his own palace—the Profound Yin Palace.
As for the disciples?
Because the two of them were away from home most of the year, Li Yang had not visited Xuan Yin Palace many times.
Moreover, he spent most of his time in seclusion after returning, and the Immortal Palace was basically left empty, with only some disciples cleaning and guarding it.
"Chunyangzi greets the Palace Master!"
"Li Yang (Mo Lan) greets Master!"
The alluring and enchanting Lady of Yaochi Palace, beneath her light veil, could not conceal her stunning beauty. Her captivating eyes gazed at Zhang Xiaoshan with mesmerizing intensity.
She then glanced past Moran, looked at Li Yang who had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, nodded her head, and whispered in a soft voice:
"Since Li Yang has already broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, there is no need to rush to refine the Void."
Mo Lan has just reached the peak of Qi Refining and is preparing to establish her foundation and condense her golden core. This is the most important stage and she cannot be careless.
"Chunyangzi, during this time, you helped Moran refine her Yin magic power with pure Yang primordial energy, helping her build a solid foundation."
The practice of Yin and Yang in harmony does not necessarily involve physical intimacy; it is simply a form of cultivation that assists each other.
Her relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan was due to the Yuan Shen Tai Chi Diagram, where she sought to "merge her body with the Dao" and pursue the elusive and boundless Great Dao.
At this moment, Moran began to condense the golden core, the more solid the foundation, the better.
In the Dharma-ending Age, even Foundation Establishment is considered a major realm, requiring cultivation to a certain level before one can condense the Golden Core.
Therefore, the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace asked Zhang Xiaoshan to assist Mo Lan in refining the Taiyin magic power, preferably with the innate spiritual energy feeding back, so that the acquired can return to the innate.
Moreover, Moran was only at the Qi Refining Perfection stage, so it wouldn't take Zhang Xiaoshan much time.
Compared to a major breakthrough that takes years to achieve, it's only a matter of ten days or half a month at most.
"Palace Master, rest assured, Chunyangzi will definitely help Junior Sister condense her innate foundation."
Given Zhang Xiaoshan's current level of cultivation, helping a young girl to build her foundation is no easy task.
The Palace Mistress of Yaochi glanced at him and whispered a word of advice:
"Molan, as the future successor of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, do not disappoint me."
"Yes, Master!"
Mo Lan showed no resistance to Zhang Xiaoshan's Yin-Yang cultivation; in fact, her pretty face flushed crimson with allure, and her eyes brimmed with anticipation.
Zhang Xiaoshan always gave her the impression of a warm, approachable older brother.
But feelings can change, especially in the Jade Pool Fairy Palace, a single green oasis amidst a sea of flowers.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan has already become a Daoist couple with Li Yang, and Li Yang's aptitude is second only to Zhang Xiaoshan in Yaochi Immortal Palace, making other female cultivators look up to her in the dust.
···
"Brother!"
Inside the secret room, Moran's bright eyes were misty, her cheeks flushed, and the ambiguous atmosphere left Zhang Xiaoshan feeling helpless.
It wasn't that he had become Tang Sanzang, but rather that the little girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old and hadn't fully grown up yet. His help in refining her magical power this time wasn't out of any ill intent; at least, the little girl wasn't his type right now.
"Concentrate your mind and calm your breath 2.0, focus your attention on the dantian."
Girl, you have just entered the path of cultivation, so don't let your mind be preoccupied with personal feelings for your children.
Especially before you reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Primordial Yin Qi will greatly help your cultivation; do not put the cart before the horse.
"Once you break through to the Nascent Soul stage after nine cycles of the Golden Core, you can go to the mortal realm to gain experience and find a Daoist partner. But for now, you should focus your mind on cultivation."
"Understood, Senior Brother!"
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's 'reprimand', Mo Lan was disappointed, but not discouraged.
After all, in her current cultivation, the primordial yin is of utmost importance, and the Taiyin Qi Refining Technique is somewhat extreme, requiring a Xuan Yin Body to achieve mastery.
Once the Golden Core has undergone nine cycles and one breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, these restrictions will no longer apply.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan encouraged her to go to the mortal world to gain experience and find a Daoist partner, which stirred a strange flutter in the young girl's heart.
Chapter 980 Strengthening the Yin-Yang Sword Formation: The Purple and Green Twin Swords Combined.
"Sacrifice countless merits to deduce the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation!"
Mo Lan's jade-like hand rested on Zhang Xiaoshan's palm, where the purest Yang energy and the coldest Yin energy converged. At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan consumed ten million merits to deduce the Kunlun Daoist technique—the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation.
Like the Pure Yang Subduing Demon Sword, the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and the Nine Yang Bing Fire Curse, the Yin Yang Two Elements Sword is also a top-tier Taoist technique of Kunlun.
However, this is a sword formation, which requires two people to perform.
Furthermore, the two individuals must possess two opposing yet shared magical powers, one yin and one yang, in order to unleash the full power of the Yin-Yang Sword Formation.
Therefore, those who cultivate this Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation are either Daoist partners or people with extremely close relationships.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan was deduce the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation in the hope of using the innate spiritual energy replenished by merit to build a foundation for the little girl Mo Lan.
At this moment, the wealthy and powerful Zhang Xiaoshan really didn't take the ten million merits seriously.
Boom!
Moran, who was refining his Yin energy, faintly heard a vast and awe-inspiring bell ringing.
Immediately, she sensed a surge of pure and powerful spiritual energy, capable of being directly refined into magical power, entering her body from Zhang Xiaoshan's palm and rapidly transforming into Taiyin magical power.
Moreover, the quality of this spiritual energy is extremely high, and it can be refined and tempered through repeated trials.
In a short period of time, she developed a qualitative change in her Yin magic power.
The magical power, refined to a higher level, transforms from a single thread, two threads, three threads... ten thousand threads merge into one strand, a hundred threads fuse into one bundle...
The ever-enhancing immersive experience allowed Moran to watch his magic power evolve from a tiny speck to a mighty river, as if the stars were shifting and the landscape was changing.
The changes, though seemingly visible to the naked eye, have actually occurred over three months ago without anyone noticing.
Moran's magical power not only doubled in purity but also quadrupled in quantity, making his foundation as solid as that of a Golden Core cultivator.
Meanwhile, inside Zhang Xiaoshan's Purple Mansion.
The Heavenly Dao Divine Pattern is carried on the Nine Provinces Cauldron, and the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation imprint evolves in Zhang Xiaoshan's Purple Mansion.
Originally, Zhang Xiaoshan had mastered the Daoist arts after comprehending them once.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Divine Runes, derived from ten million merits, gradually transformed this Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation into a top-tier Dao technique that could be performed by a single person. Moreover, its power remained undiminished, and even surpassed it.
However, the most crucial element is the fusion of Yin and Yang magical powers.
Just like the two swords of the Purple and Green Swords combined, only by truly becoming one can they unleash incredible power that transcends the sum of its parts.
The Yin-Yang Two Swords, which appeared to be fused together, were actually just 'cooperation'.
True fusion is when the two sword energies combine into one, unleashing power comparable to ancient immortal techniques.
Therefore, the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword, which was deduced and strengthened, elevated the original sword formation to the level of 'two swords united as one'.
"Senior brother, what about my magical power?"
Mo Lanyao's mouth gaped open as she looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.
The dramatic change in his magical power before and after, especially the inexplicably pure and powerful spiritual energy just now, was by no means a coincidence.
It must be some rare and precious treasure that cleansed her essence and rebuilt her foundation.
This incredible opportunity brought tears to the little girl's eyes, and she was deeply moved.
You should know that these are rare and precious materials, something you can only come across by chance.
"With your foundation built from innate spiritual energy, your current foundation is among the best in the entire Kunlun region."
Based on this, although I may not be able to condense a flawless golden core like your senior sister, I can at least produce a superior golden core.
"Really?"
It should be noted that the Kunlun Daoist Sect is the head of the Xuanmen (mysterious sects), with at least 800, if not 3,000, Qi Refining disciples, all of whom are of superior talent.
To rank among the top is definitely a sign of a promising future.
Besides, she is just a young woman now.
Although Yaochi Immortal Palace is also a branch of the Kunlun Daoist sect, its special characteristics are similar to those of the surrounding Kunlun Eight Palaces, and it has long since separated.
However, the Jade Pool Immortal Palace is entirely populated by women, so the Kunlun Daoist sect takes special care of them, which doesn't even qualify as mutual support.
"Can't you feel it yourself? Taiyin magic is a top-level Qi cultivation method."
Under normal circumstances, unless one possesses top-tier innate physical attributes, the difference between individuals at the same level will not exceed 30%.
You possess the Xuan Yin Body, which inherently gives you exceptional talent; otherwise, the Palace Master would not have accepted you as a disciple.
Based on this, the extent of your change determines the difference between you and others.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's analysis, the little girl excitedly rushed towards him.
With twice the purity and several times the magical power, even someone with an innate Dao body might not have such a solid foundation.
···
"This is... the Blood Demon Devouring the Sun?"
In feudal times, solar eclipses undoubtedly represented bad luck.
Especially during the solar eclipse, a thick, blood-red color permeated the area around the sun, causing the expressions of the cultivators from the Divine Land to change drastically.
Zhang Xiaoshan, who had just emerged from seclusion, couldn't help but look up at the sky.
He knew this was a sign that the Blood Demon was devouring the sun and that its true form was about to be born.
The purple and green swords are a natural counter to the Blood Demon.
According to the script of good versus evil, evil will undoubtedly prevail over good, and soon the clouds will part and the sun will shine!
"Senior brother, what is Blood Demon Devouring the Sun?"
At this moment, Mo Lan, the little girl beside Zhang Xiaoshan, also looked at the solar eclipse in the sky, her big eyes showing curiosity.
Due to the almost completely closed environment of Yaochi Immortal Palace, most of the disciples here know nothing about what is happening outside.
Moreover, the Blood Demon clone was destroyed by Zhang Xiaoshan and hadn't even had time to cause any trouble.
Therefore, very few people knew about the Blood Demon's birth.
890 "It's nothing, just a demonic catastrophe."
However, the one destined to face this calamity has already appeared; once the eclipse ends, the catastrophe will dissipate.
Unlike the little girl's Qi Refining stage, Zhang Xiaoshan's Void Refining and Dao Integration stage naturally allowed him to see two beams of light, one blue and one purple, flashing in the sky.
Even though they were separated by tens of thousands of miles, the primordial power unleashed by the ancient immortal sword could not conceal its magnificent brilliance.
The combination of the Purple and Green Swords of Emei is the only way to subdue the Blood Demon.
As for Zhang Xiaoshan taking action?
It wasn't that Zhang Xiaoshan was disloyal, but rather that the combined power of the Purple and Green Swords was a premeditated act to break the blockade of the Kunlun Daoist sect.
On the contrary, Zhang Xiaoshan's actions, which involved confronting the Blood Demon, proved to be a losing proposition.
Ok?
Zhang Xiaoshan stared at the center of the combined purple and green swords, but for a long time he did not see the sword energy erupt and sweep away the blood demon.
This made Zhang Xiaoshan's expression turn serious.
Will there be any problems?
The solar eclipse lasts for a very short time, only a few minutes.
If the Purple and Green Swords were combined to destroy the Blood Demon, they could disperse in an instant.
But now that the storm is lingering, a dark cloud hangs over Zhang Xiaoshan's heart; something might really be wrong.
The difficulty of combining the two swords is something that no previous master of the Purple and Green Swords could achieve.
Both boys' masters were present at this moment, which might be the turning point.
