Monster Chronicles: My Daoist Skill Comes from Mythology-Chapter 341 - 297: The Rotation of Feng Shui, Pure Yang Disturbs the Heavenly Palace
Xuanyu City.
Lang Xiao True Person sat in the main seat, accompanied by Chu Yuying and several Taoist alchemists.
One of them was Master Huang Yu from the Emperor Forest sect.
This person’s alchemy skills ranked among the top ten in the Holy Might Taoist School, capable of refining top-grade spiritual pills.
However, before Lang Xiao True Person, he seemed somewhat ill-matched.
Another was a Void Alchemist; though his alchemy skills were on par with Huang Yu’s, his preferred pill recipes were rather niche, rendering him inferior as well.
Everyone patiently listened as Lang Xiao Master explained.
"The Way of Treasure Pill is not just about relying on experience; one must perceive the Great Dao, the interplay of heaven and earth from the essence of the Five Elements—understand the merging of Kan and Li, the transformations of dragon and tiger. A Treasure Pill is both a hurdle and a state. As for the secret to entering the Treasure Pill Realm itself, the entirety of the Heaven and Earth Xuanmen Alliance has fewer than ten individuals who know it. I am one of them."
Lang Xiao stroked his long beard. Normally, he was a gentle and refined individual, but when speaking of his specialized field, he became unmistakably arrogant.
"Master, we seek your guidance!"
"I can only share some theories. As for the precise techniques, it will depend on your own insights."
Lang Xiao explained unhurriedly.
Yet for most of the group, his words were either too obscure to comprehend or overly simplistic.
They felt Lang Xiao was withholding from them, but in truth, this was indeed the genuine Treasure Pill theory.
For any profound cultivation technique, its principles must inherently be straightforward.
Song Lin’s Rejuvenation Pill technique, for instance, had simple underlying principles: reduce the refined pill back to its raw state, and then refine it anew.
The pill’s potency would become stronger with each iteration, rather than weaker.
This method of Rejuvenation Pill refinement was unprecedented within the entire Heaven and Earth Xuanmen Alliance.
Unbeknownst to most, Lang Xiao Taoist concealed a major aspect of his practice.
When refining Treasure Pills, he would employ the Blood Sacrifice technique, using human essence blood to enhance success rates.
If the difficulty of a refinement was exceedingly high, he might even sacrifice one or multiple lives.
Of course, he wouldn’t divulge this in such a public setting.
It would tarnish his image as a supreme expert.
While everyone was chatting freely.
Suddenly, faint shimmerings erupted through the void, resembling twinkling stars.
"Hmm? What is that?"
Lang Xiao pointed toward the pitch-black void.
Xuanyu City floated in the void above Yunzhou City.
While invisible to mortals below, those up above could still observe the mortal world below.
Most attendees couldn’t discern anything unusual.
However, the more advanced alchemists sensed something amiss.
"It’s a pill!"
Master Huang Yu exclaimed in astonishment.
Who is refining pills down there?
Judging by the current spectacle, this pill’s quality seemed far from ordinary.
"Shall we go take a look?" Lang Xiao Taoist turned to Chu Yuying, wondering if this might be one of Holy Might Taoist School’s secret strategies.
Chu Yuying, puzzled, nevertheless agreed.
A group descended from Xuanyu City, arriving at Song Lin’s alchemical site.
From far away, Chu Yuying spotted him and immediately felt unease—was this conspicuously intentional?
Even more shocking, Song Lin actually seemed adept at alchemy.
They landed as a group.
Lang Xiao approached quickly, inspecting the three-veined pill in Song Lin’s hand before exclaiming in surprise:
"You refined this pill? Might I take a closer look?"
"Certainly."
Lang Xiao received the pill, scrutinizing it carefully, while Huang Yu and others joined in to observe the commotion.
"A spiritual pill? No, how could a spiritual pill possess such potency?"
Examining this Golden Return Pill, the gathered crowd were astonished.
Clearly the quality resembled that of a spiritual pill, yet it carried the potency of a Treasure Pill.
"How on earth did you achieve this?"
Lang Xiao asked in wonder.
An ingenious method indeed: refining Treasure Pill-grade potency using a spiritual pill’s difficulty and materials. This technique was indisputably exceptional.
"Well, it’s the Rejuvenation Pill technique,"
Song Lin briefly explained its principles.
Lang Xiao Taoist marveled, clapping his hands in admiration.
"Ingenious, truly ingenious! Chu Taoist, why haven’t you brought this young fellow to me sooner?"
Chu Yuying looked slightly awkward, unsure how to respond for a moment.
"Commandery Officer Chu mentioned that my Taoist Realm was too shallow to participate in the conference."
Song Lin didn’t hesitate to expose him.
"Hmm? This young fellow’s Rejuvenation Pill technique should undoubtedly be leading within Holy Might Taoist School, right?"
Lang Xiao Master furrowed his brow, sensing the inescapable mingling of political schemes.
Chu Yuying was just about to argue.
Song Lin interrupted again, saying, "Though Commandery Officer cannot be fully blamed. I failed to clarify earlier; he was unaware of my alchemical capability."
"Indeed, I wouldn’t have imagined. The Ancestor of Rampant Soldiers also capable of alchemy? Remarkable, truly remarkable."
The Holy Might Taoist School members nodded in agreement.
Chu Yuying let out a breath of relief and smoothed things over, smiling, "My apologies. I’ve been lacking diligence in this; let us head back to our discussions."
From this moment onward, the spotlight was fully on Song Lin.
Others might not recognize it, but Lang Xiao understood the daunting power of this technique.
If spiritual pills could achieve Treasure Pill’s potency, wouldn’t Treasure Pills naturally approach Immortal Pills’ potency?
Song Lin conversed with enthusiasm, leaving others little room to interject.
"This is the Nine-Transformation Rejuvenation Technique. I am but a novice, mastering only the Three-Turning Method, which I stumbled upon in an ancient text."
Not far away, Heavenly Master and Ziyun observed Song Lin’s eloquent discourse.
"He truly possesses alchemical skills?" Heavenly Master rasped.
"I am not certain. I haven’t paid much attention to him; perhaps it’s Zhi Xin’s influence."
Ziyun’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"In the next round, elevate him to conference leader and reward him with an alchemy tripod. You should engage more closely with him; he might be key to controlling Zhi Xin."
After brief contemplation, Heavenly Master replied.
"Determine whether he knows the full truth. If he does, eliminate him. If he doesn’t, it proves his importance to Zhi Xin. You understand what needs to be done."
Song Lin’s rapid ascent had startled many.
Such growth could only stem from either copious resources or Zhi Xin’s covert support.
Regardless of the cause, Song Lin had become an indispensable node in their plans.
Soon, the conference concluded.
Heavenly Master summoned Song Lin alongside the other winners.
"Your profound Taoist skills bring great fortune to the Heaven and Earth Xuanmen Alliance."
Heavenly Master personally praised each participant.
As usual, Holy Might Taoist School performed poorly compared to others.
However, with Song Lin securing the conference leadership and Lang Xiao fully convinced, they regained some pride.
"Song Lin, alchemy conference leader, awarded three bottles of top-grade spiritual pills, ten thousand dharma coins, and the recorded theories included in the Taoist Method Meeting’s alchemy department records under the Alliance’s edition."
This inclusion implied the entirety of the Taoist Alliance would have access to it.
Song Lin’s renown began to radiate beyond the boundaries of the Taoist School.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Will you have time to visit Yuzhen Sect? Perhaps I shall visit you one day instead."
Lang Xiao Taoist handed over a Communication Jade Talisman.
Song Lin’s Rejuvenation Pill Theory had clearly tantalized his curiosity.
Naturally, he wouldn’t directly ask for the technique; even a small theoretical exchange would suffice.
"Certainly."
Song Lin accepted the talisman.
Nine Dragon True Person from Spirit Treasure Sect also approached, exchanging talismans with Song Lin.
"If Taoist friend needs artifact refining assistance, you may contact me through this talisman."
Song Lin nodded in agreement—a couple more allies could only prove beneficial.
After exchanging pleasantries with others.
Song Lin earned respect through his abilities.
To his surprise, even Heavenly Master’s children, Lingfu and Lingjian, approached him to forge connections.
Their personalities were polar opposites to Zhengsi’s.
"Could these be the legitimate heirs of Thunder Striking Mountain God..."
Song Lin pondered.
After the gathering dispersed, Heavenly Master privately summoned Song Lin.
"I’ve been made aware of the issues between you and Zhengsi. Earlier, I instructed Chu Yuying to reverse improper measures, hoping you two can resolve this misunderstanding."
Heavenly Master spoke with feigned ignorance.
"This disciple understands,"
Song Lin replied.
"Good. If you encounter any issues, you may seek guidance at Xuanyu City."
"Many thanks, Heavenly Master."
Song Lin remained composed.
Chu Yuying finally lifted the prohibition on East Hua’s participation.
Through this, Song Lin gained further fame.
With his theories engraved into Taoist records, ascending to Master wouldn’t be far off.
Song Lin boarded the Sun Jade Car, preparing to return to Donghua Jungle.
The glowing path of the jade carriage streaked gold across the skies.
A solitary figure appeared ahead—a woman.
The carriage halted.
"Greetings, Senior!"
The woman ahead was Wu Qingxuan.
"Impressive work,"
Ziyun extended her slender hand, revealing a floating octagonal refining furnace in her palm.
"This alchemy furnace was my personal tool in my youth. It’s yours now."
Ziyun smiled faintly.
"It’s far too valuable; I dare not accept it,"
Song Lin quickly refused.
"Take it. I won’t have any use for it anymore."
Before Song Lin could respond, Ziyun tossed the furnace to him, vanishing in a flash.
"When free, come to Purple Cloud Peak and bring Qingyu along,"
Ziyun’s voice echoed faintly.
Bewildered, Song Lin stowed the furnace.
The octagonal purple gold furnace was of superb quality—better than his current equipment.
His goals were progressing; all that remained was spreading his reputation further and gradually unveiling new pill recipes and theories.
Achieving Master status should pose no obstacle.
In the coming days, he planned to visit the Taoist Masters of the Yin Fu lineage for an exchange.
For now, Song Lin prepared to enter the Story World.
...
Story World.
Recently, the Jade Emperor had grown increasingly audacious, openly targeting Song Lin, rallying many acquired immortals in the process.
Erlang God was constantly preoccupied hunting demons, losing considerable forces under his command.
"Grandmaster, it gets even worse. The mortal world hasn’t seen rain in three years; it’s our Taoists supporting them now."
Zhengyang said angrily.
The Jade Emperor clearly disregarded the lives of mortals.
"I understand."
Song Lin stood up, sneering, "Does the Jade Emperor believe I wouldn’t create a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace? Well! It’s time for me to cause some chaos."
