Yan Nantian looked very happy. After thanking me, he stood up and stretched his body. There was an unconcealable joy on his face.
I walked to the bed in the cave and sat down. My mind was still thinking about what to do next.
The rules of the Corpse Sect were very strict. If there was nothing to do, the disciples of the caves could only stay in their caves to cultivate. Even their meals would be delivered directly to their caves.
However, according to Wei Sanpeng's memories, the task of delivering meals was a rotation of disciples from each cave.
According to the order of time, it would be Wei Sanpeng's turn to deliver meals in four days.
I made up my mind. On that day, when I delivered meals to the corpse hall, I would temporarily think of a way to stall the guards. Then, I would use the Ancestral Searching Talisman to find the location of my parents' corpses.
After confirming it, everything would be much easier. I could even apply to have my parents' corpses brought back for research.
The Corpse Sect's cultivation couldn't be separated from studying corpses. When corpse puppets advanced, they would devour other corpses. At that time, no one would suspect anything.
After confirming it, I sat down cross-legged on the bed and prepared to cultivate.
However, after circulating the Dao energy in my body for less than half a cycle, I frowned.
The Dao energy was calm, but the Yin energy here was too dense. This caused the circulation of the Dao energy to be very sluggish. Originally, it would take one hour for the Dao energy to circulate one cycle. However, it had already been more than an hour, but it hadn't even completed half a cycle.
Seeing my unhappy expression, Yan Nantian, who was sitting to the side, asked me what was wrong.
At this moment, I trusted him very much, so I nodded and told him about my problem.
After listening to me, Yan Nantian pondered for a moment before asking, "Little friend, how much do you know about the Corpse Sect's cultivation technique?"
I was surprised. The Corpse Sect's cultivation technique?
I only knew the information that I had obtained from Wei Sanpeng's soul. Among the three cultivation techniques, I didn't care about the first one, the Yin Refining Technique.
After hesitating for a moment, I answered, "The Corpse Sect's Yin Refining Technique only refines Yin energy. The disciples of the sect don't even know what Dao energy is. After a long time, it will lead to disaster.
Therefore, the Corpse Sect's cultivation method can only be considered a heretical method. "
I thought that since Yan Nantian was a member of the Corpse Sect, he would be unhappy after hearing my comment. However, at this moment, he smiled and nodded. "You're right. The Corpse Sect's cultivation method is indeed unorthodox. Compared to the orthodox cultivation methods of the Daoist Sects, it is like comparing a firefly to the bright moon … Of course, this is only from an overall perspective.
However, this cultivation method isn't all bad. There are still some good aspects that surpass the orthodox cultivation methods of Daoism. "
"Oh?" I suddenly became interested and asked, "For example?"
Yan Nantian touched the non-existent beard on his chin and smiled. "Speaking of which, the essence of the Corpse Sect's cultivation method lies in your current acupoint realm!"
I frowned and tried to recall the Yin Refining Technique, but I couldn't remember anything about the acupoint sealing technique. I asked Yan Nantian to help me.
Yan Nantian didn't directly tell me about the cultivation method. Instead, he pointed at the wall behind me and asked me to see what was on it.
I turned my head and saw that there was an area on the dark wall behind me that was filled with holes of different sizes. These holes were constantly emitting black gas.
The Yin gas could turn into a visible mist. This meant that the density of the Yin energy had reached a terrifying level.
I wasn't surprised that the Corpse Sect had thick Yin energy, but I didn't understand why Yan Nantian wanted me to see it.
I turned my head to look at Yan Nantian. At this time, he smiled and continued to explain, "The Corpse Sect's cultivation method is called the Yin Refining Technique. As the name implies, it is a method to refine Yin energy. The most important thing is to find high-quality Yin energy.
As long as there is high-quality Yin energy to support it, the cultivation speed of the Yin Refining Technique is much faster than the orthodox Daoist Sects. "
I roughly understood what he meant. I pointed at the holes on the wall behind me and asked, "The Yin energy coming out of these holes is the so-called high-quality Yin energy?"
Yan Nantian nodded. "Yin energy is divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Among them, the lowest grade of Yellow-ranked Yin Qi could only be produced in some natural Yin Gathering Grounds. As for the Yin Qi produced in those so-called desolate tombs, it could only be considered as the most ordinary Yin Qi that did not make the grade.
As for the Yin energy in the Corpse Sect, as far as I know, there is an Earth-grade Yin Gathering Ground in the Flying Zombie Cave. The Yin energy in the Black Zombie Cave is only the Yin energy from the Earth-grade Yin Gathering Ground, so it can only be considered Black grade.
"Of course, Black grade Yin energy is also very rare. In the White Zombie Cave, there is only Yellow grade Yin energy.
The Corpse Sect relies on this Yin energy to allow their disciples to cultivate at such a fast speed … Especially the Sealing Acupoint realm. You should know that the Corpse Sect has a requirement of 20 Dragon Seeking, 30 Sealing Acupoint, and 40 Glorious Knowledge. As long as one is talented, they can reach the Dragon Seeking and Sealing Acupoint realms in ten years. However, the gap between Sealing Acupoint and Glorious Knowledge is huge. Not to mention ten years, there are many people who waste their entire lives in these two realms.
However, the Corpse Sect's requirement is also ten years. "
Earlier, I felt that this requirement of the Corpse Sect was a bit strange. After listening to him, I became even more puzzled and quickly asked about the mysteries of the Corpse Sect's cultivation method.
Yan Nantian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The Corpse Sect's Sealing Acupoint cultivation method is called the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique. However, with high-quality Yin energy, the cultivation speed is very terrifying.
With Yellow-grade Yin energy, if you practice the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique, you can advance one aperture in one year; with Xuan-grade Yin energy, you can advance one aperture in half a year; with Earth-grade Yin energy, you can advance one aperture in eighty-one days; and with Heaven-grade Yin energy, you can advance one aperture in nine days and reach the peak of the Sealing Acupoint realm in three months. "
After listening to him, I was dumbfounded. The slowest was one year, and the fastest was nine days?
If that was the case, then this Yellow Springs Ascension Technique was too terrifying!
Previously, when I got the Yin Refining Technique from Wei Sanpeng's soul, it didn't include the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique. I guessed that this technique was a core secret of the Corpse Sect, and Wei Sanpeng's soul was also sealed.
After digesting his words, I suddenly thought of a question. Could I also cultivate the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique?
Without waiting for me to ask, Yan Nantian seemed to have seen through my thoughts and said, "Although this technique is unorthodox and only cultivates Yin energy, it can advance one's acupoints. As long as you use your Dao energy to stabilize your realm, it won't be a problem."
I was excited. Although I had five apertures, the first aperture had been created when I was in the Dragon Seeking Realm. I had accumulated a large amount of Dao energy, and the other three apertures had been created by the ghost seal. After several months of solid cultivation, I hadn't even cultivated one aperture.
Not to mention the Heaven's Pole and Earth's Yin energy, I couldn't even open one aperture a year for the lowest-grade Yellow-grade Yin energy.
With this speed, I didn't know how many years it would take for me to reach the Glory of Knowledge realm.
With excitement in my heart, I asked Yan Nantian about the specific details of this technique. Yan Nantian was the same as before and didn't hide anything. He didn't even hesitate and directly told me about the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique.
After carefully studying it several times, I quickly understood the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique. This technique didn't have many mysteries and only allowed me to absorb Yin energy.
The reason why it had such a magical effect was mostly because of the high-quality Yin energy.
Although the Black Zombie Cave only had Mysterious Yin energy, I was satisfied with the speed of opening one aperture in half a year.
So after understanding the technique, I immediately sat down next to the wall and began to cultivate.
At this time, Yan Nantian pulled me and asked, "You won't be staying in the Corpse Sect for too long, right?"
I nodded. After finding my parents' bodies, I would leave immediately. Otherwise, it would be hard to avoid unexpected events.
When Yan Nantian saw me nod, he sighed and said, "The most important part of the Yellow Springs Ascension Technique is opening one's aperture. Only after opening one's aperture will your realm be stabilized.
If you don't continue to cultivate until you break through your acupoint and leave this place, your previous cultivation will be in vain unless you immediately find a place with excellent Yin Qi of high quality and continue your previous cultivation. "
"This …" I was discouraged. The Mysterious Yin energy needed half a year to break through one aperture. It was impossible for me to stay here for half a year. What was the point of cultivating now?
Seeing my disappointed face, Yan Nantian looked a little hesitant. However, he quickly opened his mouth again.
"The Flying Zombie Cave has Earth level Yin energy. In less than three months, you can break through one aperture. Calculating the time, you should be able to stay for three months. I happen to know a way to find Earth level Yin energy. Do you want to give it a try?"
He knows a way to find Earth level Yin energy?
This wasn't strange. After all, he used to be the Celestial Master here. It was normal for him to know some secrets.
I hesitated for a moment, but in the end, I shook my head and sighed. "I don't even know if I can stay for three months. Moreover, this matter involves the Celestial Master's cave, so it will be risky. After thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's worth the risk."
Yan Nantian hesitated for a moment, but he quickly nodded. "That's right. Three months is too long … What if I can help you find Heaven level Yin energy so that you can break through one aperture in nine days?"
"What?"
I jumped up from the bed and asked Yan Nantian in disbelief, "Are you serious?
Heaven level Yin energy? "
