He clashed repeatedly with the Wuwei Sect, and it’s said even the former number-one master, the Three Corpses Daoist, spared him three times.” Master Liang added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To survive once against the number-one master was already a miracle; surviving three times was an act of heaven-defying fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this manuscript page is truly priceless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang circled back, attempting to underscore the value of this manuscript page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So spending eighty yuan wasn’t too expensive after all.” Zhang Fan nodded, fully agreeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan casually slipped the manuscript page into his pocket; once back, he would decipher each character on it to learn what Li Yishan had truly found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was connected to Li Yishan’s disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Liang, I’ve wasted enough of your time—see if there’s anything else valuable, and give my business a little attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan shifted tone, wandering through the shop himself, saying not another word about the eighty yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhang Fan suddenly stopped, staring at a crystal tray on the shelf—inside lay something resembling a placenta, faintly emitting a foul stench, its shape resembling a monstrous beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a bei placenta,” Master Liang said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a wolf gives birth to an aberrant offspring, it is called a bei—yin in nature, ferocious, exceedingly rare in ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idiom “wolf and bei collude” refers to this creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that among ten thousand wolf pups, one might rarely produce a bei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bei placenta is regarded as a rare great medicine; when ground into powder and swallowed with well water, it emits a subtle, undetectable unique aura. Any opposite-sex being that inhales it will involuntarily develop infatuation—the more they inhale, the harder they are to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, this item has one other crucial use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Daoists skilled in feng shui would obtain a bei placenta and bury it within a three-foot square area of another family’s ancestral grave—then all descendants of that family would be bastards, with no blood relation whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such treasures are scarce nowadays,” Master Liang whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself was once a wild wolf from the Qinling Mountains who cultivated into a great demon; in this age, wild animals’ living conditions grow worse daily—just surviving and reproducing is already a blessing; producing a bei is nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such aberrant beasts might have been seen in the past, but in this End Dharma era, they are little more than legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, this bei placenta is precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re interested, I can give you a discount.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang lowered his voice, holding up three fingers: “Three hundred…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred yuan!?” Zhang Fan exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten thousand! Three million!” Master Liang rolled his eyes and corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan chuckled awkwardly, then said: “Master Liang, I’d love to support your business, but your goods are just too… otherworldly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhang Fan pulled out his phone: “Next time, next time I’ll buy something big.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the eighty yuan—do I scan you, or do you scan me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang’s eyebrow twitched—eighty yuan wasn’t even enough for his daily meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. Today, consider it me making a friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking, Master Liang immediately adjusted his demeanor, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked: “May I ask your esteemed name, young master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Zhao Jiexuan,” Zhang Fan murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Jiexuan!?” Master Liang paused, the name unfamiliar—neither from a major sect nor a Pure Yang lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your hospitality, Master Liang. We’ll take our leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhang Fan rose to leave with Meng Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May the Dao be with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang escorted Zhang Fan to the door, watching their retreating figures, his eyes holding a deep, knowing glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, shut the shop door, turned, and walked to the rear, passing through a long, dark stone passage that twisted and turned—leading to a cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the cave’s stone door hung a bronze ring shaped like a beast’s snout; Master Liang tapped twice, then pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the crumbling stone walls outside, the interior was lavishly modern—air conditioning, underfloor heating, air purifiers, a refrigerator, a color TV, a large sofa…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under warm golden lighting, a graceful woman sat at a desk, brewing tea; her snow-white legs flickered faintly beneath her long robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang stepped beside her and whispered two sentences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Jiexuan…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard that name. Recently stirred up chaos in the Xijiang region—it’s said he killed Yu Xuanji, the heir of Sanqing Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman fell silent, a knowing expression crossing her pale face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This young man is no ordinary figure—his life-energy cultivation is complete, his Golden Core has formed. No ordinary master could train a disciple like this. Many are now searching for his identity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Liang, you’ve done well. Step down for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Master Liang bowed, turned, and exited the cave, closing the stone door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the woman lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea, its fragrance spreading freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a delicate hand, she pushed the teacup across the table to the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Luo Sen, you see now—more than just you are watching this manuscript page.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s lips curled into a knowing smile as she gazed at the cold, stern young man seated across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holiday Inn, western suburbs of Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room’s light remained on; Zhang Fan sat at the desk, covered in draft paper—every inch filled with intricate talismans and strange script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from Yin Xu, Zhang Fan ate a light meal with Meng Qi, then began deciphering the photocopy of the manuscript page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters on it were ancient and complex—not only Longhu Mountain talismans, but also unique seals and inscriptions from many other sects, making deciphering extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Zhang Fan had trained in talismans since childhood; his family was the Grand Registry of the Three Mountains, and Zhang Lingzong had devoted considerable time to his instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Li Linglong, in her youth, had traveled widely, cultivating secretly on Mount Zhongnan, Mount Qingcheng, and elsewhere, absorbing diverse knowledge and teaching Zhang Fan much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he had long succeeded in merging his spirit—these things naturally resided within his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Zhang Fan painstakingly deciphered each character, his expression grew increasingly grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Nine Methods of Divine Transmission: Condense, Eight Kings Carry the Coffin, Tread the Dipper’s Path…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, night deepened; the scratch of his pen echoed in the cold room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven’s Cauldron, Earth’s Furnace burn the Star’s Marrow; Dragon Bones, Phoenix Bones forge the Dao’s Form…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-06-19T21:05:46.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f82a0bf68ad41bfad7249e226ad2de620ebf993ed0e0b97245e53d7070702a8b","pure-yang-chapter-477","pure-yang-chapter-475",520,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpure-yang-cover.jpg"]
