Chapter 138

Lady Dongjun Yanfei and Moon God had arrived one after another, each paying a corresponding price in pursuit of power.

Comparatively, the price Moon God paid was even heavier.

Since the other party had paid such a heavy price, Su Xuan decided to be a bit more serious in teaching Moon God.

In the original story, Moon God had displayed various powerful abilities.

Although these abilities were not offensive techniques, their auxiliary capabilities were top-tier. In other words, Moon God was a rare auxiliary talent, and such talent was exactly what Su Xuan lacked most under his command.

After all, in terms of combat, his own combat ability was already enough to dominate the world. Although he had mastered many auxiliary arts, he could not do everything himself.

After taking control of the Yin-Yang School, he already had a plan.

He would cultivate Eastern Sovereign Lady Dongjun Yanfei into a combat-type talent, so that combat matters could gradually be handed over to her, while Moon God would be an auxiliary talent, and he could focus on cultivating her abilities in that area.

As for agreeing to the deal proposed by Moon God.

There was no help for it; who told Moon God to be so enthusiastic and speak so directly!

Su Xuan could not bring himself to refuse her!

To obtain powerful strength, Moon God could only bring out such chips. If he told her that her chips were not enough and she could not obtain power from him, how sad would she be.

Therefore, Su Xuan could only sacrifice a little and let Moon God take advantage.

Besides, what Su Xuan said earlier was also true. He had not been in the Yin-Yang School for long, and even if he inherited the position of Sect Master, he was not proficient in Yin-Yang arts, as the arts he cultivated were not Yin-Yang arts at all.

As the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, it was only natural to be familiar with Yin-Yang arts.

As a Protector of the Yin-Yang School, Moon God held a high status. For him, the Sect Master, to seek instruction from her on Yin-Yang dual cultivation out of a desire to learn was a perfectly reasonable matter.

Through this incident with Lady Dongjun Yanfei and Moon God,

Su Xuan had also gained a deeper understanding of the Yin-Yang School.

The pursuit of power by the people of the Yin-Yang School exceeded his expectations.

Even Eastern Sovereign and Moon God were like this, let alone the disciples further down.

The reason for this pursuit of power, besides the fact that Yin-Yang arts were fast-acting and required constant progress, was the internal atmosphere of the Yin-Yang School.

It was somewhat like the demonic sects in the novels he had read in his past life, encouraging disciples to compete and practicing the jungle law of survival of the fittest, where only the strong could survive.

Such methods indeed had their good side, which was that they could cultivate sufficiently powerful experts in the shortest possible time through "gu-raising" methods. If the Yin-Yang School wanted to compete with the deep-rooted and long-standing Daoist school and dominate the Hundred Schools of Thought, they could only use such unorthodox methods.

But the flaws were greater than the benefits.

Firstly, because the experts were cultivated through gu-raising, their character was inevitably lacking. Secondly, there were the inherent flaws of the Yin-Yang arts themselves.

In short, the Yin-Yang School only looked glamorous; behind the scenes, there were indeed many problems.

Since Su Xuan had become the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, he clearly did not intend to be a hands-off leader. Back in Yongcheng, he had already formed the idea of making the Yin-Yang School his own.

Now that he had entered and taken control of the Yin-Yang School, he naturally had to start considering things for it.

Yin-Yang arts valued power while neglecting character cultivation. The process of practicing such arts was like walking on the edge of qi deviation. Even if one was lucky enough not to suffer qi deviation and possessed powerful strength, because they had not cultivated their heart, they ultimately lacked the mental realm matching their cultivation base. If they encountered setbacks in the future, they could still fall into the demonic path.

Comparatively, although the Daoist school also had fast-acting techniques—like the cultivation method practiced by Facing Xiaomeng in the original story, which allowed her to possess powerful strength at a young age—Beimingzi had corresponding methods to let her perceive the "three thousand red dusts," allowing her mental state to keep up with her power. Even if there were still some flaws, it was much better than the Yin-Yang School's arts.

The Yin-Yang School seemed to lack such methods.

"Is it because the Phantom Music Box was lost?"

Su Xuan secretly guessed the truth.

The Phantom Music Box was a supreme treasure of the Yin-Yang School, containing countless musical pieces. Some were demonic sounds, others were immortal melodies. Hearing demonic sounds would lead to qi deviation, while hearing immortal sounds would greatly increase one's power. The principle behind increasing the listener's power was to use the music to cleanse their mental state.

Using the phantom music, the listener would experience an illusion and undergo trials within it. If they passed the trials, their mental state would be clear, and with the great increase in mental cultivation, their own cultivation base would also increase significantly.

If they could not pass the trials, it meant the demonic roots were deeply planted, making it difficult to extricate themselves, and qi deviation would be no surprise.

Hundreds of years ago, the Yin-Yang School was once at its peak precisely because it possessed the Phantom Music Box.

Unfortunately, this supreme treasure had been lost for three hundred years.

"If I have time, I could take a trip to the Mohist Mechanical City and retrieve it!" Su Xuan whispered to himself.

The Yin-Yang School had exhausted the efforts of ten generations to find the Phantom Music Box, but had always come up empty-handed.

Su Xuan, however, knew that the Phantom Music Box was hidden in the forbidden area of the Mohist Mechanical City. Within it, there seemed to be a phantom fragrance of the Mohist founder, Mo Di. The loss of the Phantom Music Box back then was likely related to this Mohist founder.

"However, before that, I cannot remain idle. If I have time, I can also take action to repair the flaws in the Yin-Yang arts."

In terms of fast-acting, the guidance and ingestion techniques he practiced were actually fast-acting as well, allowing him to possess such powerful strength in just a few years, but the techniques he practiced did not have as many flaws as the Yin-Yang arts.
