Chapter 86: Five Elements Wrong King, Fierce God

Yujing City, East Suburb Cemetery.

Zhang Fan practiced and cultivated the Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique, and didn't wake up until near noon.

At this time, the look in Xiong Ba's eyes was different. The previous vigilance had dissipated quite a bit, replaced by a look of respect.

It was really because the 【Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique】 Zhang Fan displayed seemed much more orthodox than his own.

One must know that he had been secretly practicing hard for many years before he had today's results.

Clearly, the effort and heart Zhang Fan spent on this Daoist technique were much more than his own.

"I really am useless." Xiong Ba lowered his head.

He had no talent for the Yinshan Daoist methods of his own family, and even the 【Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique】 he obtained by chance was not practiced as well as others.

"Don't be discouraged." Zhang Fan shook his head and hurriedly comforted him.

He could see that there was huge potential hidden in this kid, otherwise he wouldn't even have entered the door of the 【Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique】.

Perhaps because of this, all these years, he had made no achievements in the Yinshan Daoist methods of his sect.

Originally, the Taiyi Method was the nemesis of this lineage.

"In the future, at six o'clock every morning, and eight o'clock every evening... you come here, and I will give you pointers." Zhang Fan did a good deed.

"Let's add each other on SuperChat first."

The methods he obtained from Xiong Ba today had already benefited him a lot. After going back, he needed to digest them slowly. As for the subsequent cultivation methods, they could only come slowly.

"Really?" Xiong Ba's eyes lit up, and he took out his phone: "How much money?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiong Ba slapped himself in the face.

"I was presumptuous... how could an expert like you be short of money? Mentioning money is insulting you... I'm sorry..."

"No..." Zhang Fan's mouth moved, and he really wanted to say something.

"Brother, I'm leaving." Xiong Ba bowed deeply to Zhang Fan with an apologetic face, and turned to leave with full of shame.

"No... that..."

Zhang Fan looked at Xiong Ba's retreating back and wished he could slap himself twice. This Xiong Ba didn't look like he was short of money at all. Born into the Xiong family, no matter how marginal he was, he should be richer than him.

"Who are you pretending for!?" Zhang Fan cursed himself.

From this day on, Zhang Fan went to the East Suburb Cemetery to meet Xiong Ba almost every morning and evening. Once or twice was fine, but after many times, even the old man on duty was puzzled. Are these two young men really so filial to their ancestors!?

Why do they come to sweep the graves every day!?

After days of communication and hard cultivation, Zhang Fan became more and more proficient in mastering the 【Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique】. Of course, Xiong Ba also benefited a lot, gaining a lot of experience from Zhang Fan.

"Were you beaten?"

On this day, before dawn, the two had just met when Zhang Fan discovered the clue.

There were obvious scars on Xiong Ba's face, blue and purple on the left and right, and a bloodstain on his cheek.

"Who beat you? Why so ruthless?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but say.

Now, Xiong Ba could be considered his friend, or even half a younger brother.

"Fighting within the sect, it's normal." Xiong Ba squeezed out a smile, clearly not wanting to stay on this topic.

In fact, in order to stimulate the competitive consciousness of the disciples in the clan and improve their Daoist level, the Xiong family organized three or five fights between disciples every month, which was considered a peer exchange.

"So ruthless in an exchange?" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

Don't expose shortcomings when scolding people, don't hit the face when hitting people. This was completely aiming at the face.

"Forget it, anyway, I'm used to it." Xiong Ba shook his head.

He was not a direct descendant, so his status among his peers was imaginable. In fights and exchanges, some people naturally wanted to pick soft persimmons to pinch, so as to achieve the effect of establishing prestige.

For the same clan, they might not have conflicts with Xiong Ba, but for them, he was just a tool to show off their means and deter others.

"Where there are people, there is Jiang Hu." Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh, and then waved his hand.

"Come, I'll pass you a Yin evil... with this for protection, you can protect yourself."

As he spoke, Zhang Fan observed his soul, mobilized true Yang, gathered the surrounding Yin Qi, operated the 【North Emperor Method】, and refined a Yin evil.

Gathering Yin into evil, a sign of great fierceness. This thing is several times more powerful than ordinary Yin Qi, equivalent to refining scrap iron into steel.

Originally, the Xiong family also followed the path of gathering Yin and refining Qi. Even if this Yin evil was revealed, it wouldn't be exposed.

"This..." Xiong Ba hesitated.

"Don't worry... it can't be seen. It's just a Yin evil, not involving Daoist methods... your Yinshan Sect originally has methods of gathering Yin into evil." Zhang Fan saw Xiong Ba's thoughts and hurriedly gave him a reassurance.

"Brother Fan, thanks." Xiong Ba nodded.

It must be said that since his master Gu Yuming became a vegetable, Zhang Fan was the person who treated him the best, not only giving pointers on the 【Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique】 but also passing him a Yin evil.

"Great kindness is not spoken of with thanks." Zhang Fan said casually.

"Hmm, then I won't say it." Xiong Ba nodded heavily, gratitude in his eyes.

"..."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Fan didn't rush to practice the 【Taiyi Crossing the Dead technique】 today, and followed Xiong Ba to leave.

When he arrived at the company, it was just nine o'clock, and he didn't miss the punch-in.

"You are really punctual, nine o'clock every day, not a second early."

Jiang Hu looked at the time and couldn't help but admire Zhang Fan.

"Haven't seen Old Yu these days." Zhang Fan sat at his workstation, glanced at it, and asked casually.

"Old Yu's old problem, he disappears when it thunders and rains... says his rheumatism is acting up..."

Jiang Hu replied without turning his head: "Isn't it the rainy season recently?"

"Cultivators have this kind of problem?" Zhang Fan muttered, subconsciously turning his head to look at Bai Buran's office, seeing the door closed, and then safely opened the "Little Yellow Book" and clicked on the Millennium Old Demon's homepage.

The Millennium Old Demon's avatar was still gray. According to convention, Zhang Fan greeted him, which had almost become something he had to do every day besides opening the computer.

However, the system prompt jumped out in time: Sorry, the other party has added you to the blacklist...

"Damn!"

Zhang Fan cursed, glanced at it, and his gaze narrowed.

"The Millennium Old Demon posted again?"

Zhang Fan looked at the 【Millennium Old Demon】's homepage and found that he had updated a post recently, the time was 3:30 last night.

"Not sleeping at 3:30? He's not afraid of overwork."

Zhang Fan whispered, but saw the title of the post was clearly written: "The Mystery of Human Five Elements, the Most Terrifying Cultivator"

The beginning still used the alchemy classic "Journey to the West" as an introduction. This book can become one of the Four Great Classics, absolutely not just a story of subduing demons and taking scriptures to the west.

The person who wrote this book must be a master proficient in alchemy. Many metaphors of the Buddhist and Daoist sects in it are simply at his fingertips.

For example, in the book, regarding the method of longevity, several types were introduced, such as flat peaches, ginseng fruits, etc.

These heavenly spiritual roots can all make one live forever and prolong life.

However, there is another way to live forever, which is the first choice for many monsters. After all, they cannot touch those heavenly spiritual roots.

This method is young boys and girls.

In fact, this is also a Daoist metaphor.

In Daoist cultivation, the five internal organs of the human body have different names and secret languages. The liver is called 【Wood Mother】, the lung is called 【Gold Duke】, the spleen is called 【Yellow Granny】, the heart is called 【Beautiful Girl】, and the kidney is called 【Baby】.

Therefore, the young boys and girls here refer to heart fire and kidney water.

Because Daoist alchemy talks about the meeting of three families, this metaphor is the baby, the beautiful girl, plus the yellow granny.

The spleen is the yellow granny, belonging to earth in the five elements. Its function itself is to create blood, store blood, and immunity, so it has the use of transporting all things.

At the same time, the spleen also represents true intention. Adding young boys and girls, the combination of the three families can form an elixir.

Intending to guard the dantian, water and fire harmonize, Yin and Yang harmonize, the great elixir is formed, this is the path of longevity.

The alchemy books say: Yellow Granny acts as a matchmaker in between, baby and beautiful girl reunite. Water and fire harmonize, Yin and Yang combine, success makes one a Buddha or an immortal.

So for mortals to become immortals, young boys and girls are necessary, and neither can be missing.

"I have to say, although he pits people, he really has real stuff." Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"So how exactly to do it?"

Zhang Fan continued to look down. This time there was no payment link, perhaps because of a warning from the platform.

"The key lies in a 【Reverse】 word."

"The five elements of the human body are divided into five elements. If they flow smoothly without control, they will inevitably lead to the dissipation of essence and Qi, and death is not far away. Life turns into killing intent, the so-called life is the root of death."

"Life is death..." Zhang Fan whispered, lost in thought.

"Alchemy cultivation uses all reversal. For example, innate essence belongs to metal, soul is wood, consciousness is water..."

"Metal and wood are the mothers of water and fire, but Daoist soul cultivation must refine innate essence from consciousness, which is the so-called 【Child Produces Mother】, that is, the existence of reversal."

Seeing this, Zhang Fan showed a look of deep thought.

In fact, his 【North-South Sect Source】 is also a kind of reversal method. Kan and Li change positions, heart fire burns kidney water, essence and Qi boil, nourishing the flesh, forging true Yang, and strengthening the soul.

"The human life system follows the flow, destined to be unable to live forever..."

"There is a method in this world that, according to Yin, Yang, and Five Elements, starts from the human life system and reverses all five elements and five internal organs..."

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Even his 【North-South Sect Source】 method only takes the meaning of reversal, mobilizing water and fire in the body. In fact, the body structure has not changed at all, but... "Practicing according to this method, the life system and internal structure of such a person are no longer ordinary."

"There is such a method in this world!?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but show a strange expression.

"This method has been secretly passed down since ancient times, and it is hard to see one or two in the world. Those who achieve it must be human terrors. If fellow Daoists meet, they must retreat three houses..."

This post by the Millennium Old Demon is terrifying. Those who practice this method have a life structure completely above ordinary people. Even if a cultivator meets them, their internal five elements can easily be influenced, changed, or even controlled by the other party.

"Five elements upside down, surviving outside the calamity, reversing to become an immortal, wronging to become a king..."

"This method is called..."

"Five Elements Wrong King!!!"

Jiang Hu's voice came faintly from the side. He appeared like a ghost, not knowing where he popped out from, staring at Zhang Fan's computer screen.

"You scared the hell out of me..." Zhang Fan shuddered: "I'll stick a privacy film on it later."

"Who is this person? Daring to say such things on the internet?"

Jiang Hu stared at Zhang Fan's computer screen and couldn't help but press him.

(More of the latest popular novels at...)

"Five Elements Wrong King... have you heard of it?" Zhang Fan asked back.

"When I was practicing in Maoshan, I heard the elders mention it..."

"Five elements upside down, surviving outside the calamity, reversing to become an immortal, wronging to become a king, this is the 【Five Elements Wrong King】."

"That is a legendary internal alchemy method." Jiang Hu said solemnly.

"Legendary!?"

"Not bad, you know that the number 【Nine】 has a very special meaning in the Daoist sect. I heard from my sect that since ancient times, there have been nine legendary internal alchemy methods in the Daoist sect..."

"The Five Elements Wrong King is one of them."

Jiang Hu's words made Zhang Fan fall into silence. Such secrets were not mentioned in the 【Daoist Secret Record】.

"Since it is a legend, it can only be treated as a story. In reality, I have never seen anyone practice it successfully... In fact, it is unknown whether these nine great internal alchemy methods even exist."

Jiang Hu shook his head. The nine legends are famous, but if you ask who has seen them with their own eyes, there is no evidence.

However, when he was in Maoshan, his teachers once said that many Daoist techniques and methods in the Daoist sect were passed down from these nine alchemy books.

After all, single cultivation is impossible for anyone to succeed, so some people retreated to the second best, realizing various methods from it, and drawing inferences from one instance.

"For instance, the Zhenwu Mountain has a technique that is extremely evil, called 【Inner Demon Attraction】, which is a method of raising thoughts into demons and slaughtering those who have seen the Dao..."

"This method is a major technique passed down from the 【Divine Demon Holy Fetus】 among the nine legends," Jiang Hu whispered.

"Is the Divine Demon Holy Fetus also one of the nine legends?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Not bad." Jiang Hu nodded: "And the 【North-South Sect Source】 you practice, although it is already a top-tier internal alchemy method, it is just a branch of the 【Five Elements Wrong King】."

Practicing the North-South Sect Source is already extremely difficult. Looking at Zhenwu Mountain, except for Zhang Fan, no one practices this method. Once practiced, over a long period of time, the body will naturally appear many alienations.

But compared to the complete 【Five Elements Wrong King】, such alienation is not worth mentioning.

"If fellow Daoists meet, retreat three houses! Remember, remember!"

Zhang Fan was lost in thought, his gaze subconsciously falling on the last sentence of the post.

"Millennium Old Demon? The last sentence is nonsense. Who can meet? Who can practice?" Jiang Hu couldn't help but complain.

This probability is even lower than winning the lottery.

"Why did he suddenly post such a post at this time?"

Zhang Fan was lost in thought. Since the time the other party asked him if he dreamed of dragons and tigers, he always felt that although this Millennium Old Demon was hidden in the mist, every word and action seemed to have deep meaning.

"Do you know him?" Jiang Hu asked casually.

"Don't know."

Zhang Fan shook his head: "He already blacklisted me."

"Did you harass him? He wouldn't be a woman, would he?" Jiang Hu guessed.

"A woman?" Zhang Fan subconsciously looked up at Jiang Lai not far away. At this time, she was actually sleeping on the table, seemingly not afraid of being discovered by the boss and having her salary deducted.

"Shouldn't be her."

Zhang Fan shook his head. The Millennium Old Demon registered much earlier than him, how could it be Jiang Lai.

"By the way..."

Just then, Jiang Hu's voice pulled Zhang Fan's thoughts back.

"In two days, you might have to go deliver a shipment with me."

"Where to?" Zhang Fan asked casually.

"Yinshan Xiong Family!"

Yujing City, Yinshan Xiong Family.

Candlelight flickered on both sides of the deep corridor, the flames jumping and burning without extinguishing.

"Young Master Xing, why are you still unhappy?"

At the end of the corridor, Xiong Qianxing's face was covered in frost, and he looked coldly into the depths of the corridor.

"Didn't you vent your anger on Xiong Ba yesterday?" Ming Chenxuan couldn't help but say.

"The thing I asked you to check... did you find it?" Xiong Qianxing seemed not to have heard, his hand wrapped in thick bandages, black blood stains showing through.

"Young Master Shan said... this matter ends here."

Ming Chenxuan's face was a bit ugly: "Young Master Xing, don't make it difficult for me."

"He is too cautious," Xiong Qianxing gritted his teeth: "A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake, even if that kid..."

"Forget it."

Xiong Qianxing recalled his encounter in the 【Ghost Pool】 not long ago and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Who entered the ancestral hall?"

He changed the subject, his eyes still filled with anger that wouldn't dissipate.

The current Xiong Qianxing was indeed very angry.

"Still that unlucky thing, Xiong Ba..." Ming Chenxuan sneered.

Not a direct descendant of the Xiong family, even he, an outsider, didn't look up to him.

"The rules of your Xiong family, non-direct descendants must enter the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors every three years, for fear that they will forget their duty," Ming Chenxuan smiled lightly.

"Go, come with me to give this cousin a hint." Xiong Qianxing's gaze sank. Now he urgently needed to vent his suppressed emotions.

At this time, inside the ancestral hall.

Xiong Ba followed the rules, burned three sticks of incense, and respectfully worshiped the ancestors.

In the quiet ancestral hall, incense smoke curled, faint firelight jumped, and he was the only one there.

Although this is an important place for the Xiong family, usually, except for disciples worshiping, almost no one would come.

"You're here..."

Just then, a faint voice rang in Xiong Ba's mind.

"Who?"

Xiong Ba's face changed slightly, he stood up abruptly, looked left and right, and there was only him in the empty ancestral hall.

"You met an opportunity..."

That faint voice rang again, and immediately after, his body vibrated violently, his brain "hummed," and the scene in front of him changed suddenly...

Black mist filled and surged, faint light shone through, like a ten-thousand-foot abyss, unable to see everything in front.

"【Soul Internal Landscape】!?"

Xiong Ba's heart moved slightly. He knew this was his soul internal landscape. Many years ago, he had experienced it once.

"We meet again."

That faint voice came from the mist.

"【Fierce God】!?" Xiong Ba's face changed slightly.

It was the same scene back then. That Fierce God taught him the technique of crossing the dead in the 【Taiyi Method】 here, but he hadn't seen the other party's true appearance at the time.

Now, the black mist surged, and a figure was actually about to emerge.

"You..."

Xiong Ba's face changed slightly, and his soul subconsciously retreated backward.

He had long heard that this Fierce God suppressed in the clan was extremely extraordinary, a great fierce ghost, with no taboos.

A sense of fear arose spontaneously.

Hum...

Just then, the black mist around surged crazily, slowly retreating like a tide, and immediately after, the Fierce God actually walked out directly, exposed in front of Xiong Ba.

"You!? How... how could it be you!?"

Xiong Ba looked at the figure in front of him, his eyes widened. At this moment, he was shocked and speechless.

"Zhang Fan?"
