Chapter 203: Illusionary Yin Realm within the Treasure Basin

Once Hu Agui arrived over here, Hu Jinhua received the news over there.

As the big sister of the Fox Immortal Hall and the first to form a karmic connection with Xu Jia, Hu Jinhua was upright in character, but she had one knot in her heart: she was extremely angry and saddened by this Hu Agui who did not walk the righteous path.

At this time, she was at the Earth Temple in Xu Jia Cun; the temple had already been built, and she had hired an old child-student to teach the young ones. She had arranged for the little foxes to stay here, digging a hole beneath the roots of the old Zhangshu Earth Deity Zhang Yi, which connected to the Earth Temple.

Just then, she heard a cry of "Oh no!" and saw that it was "Bald-Tail Fox" Hu Delu.

"Auntie! Master Xu is now with Hu Agui, and that Hu Agui even wants to snatch Master's Original Yang! I heard with my own ears Hu Agui saying something about helping me cultivate!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Jinhua could not sit still, but after a moment, she calmed down: "She is a shameless, wanton woman, a slut who would sleep with anyone. Master Xu has excellent moral character and will surely look down on her. Even if she uses force, Master Xu's methods are not something she can withstand. However, there is a grudge between her and me, so I must go over and take a look to prevent Master Xu from being deceived by her. Such a lewd, stinking, fishy, and dirty thing—it is not fit for any decent place."

Having said this, she put down the work she held for repairing the fox den: "Go and make the nests for the little foxes; I will come to inspect them later!"

"Why do we have to make the nests ourselves? Don't we have believers providing for us?"

"Raising you to be a freeloader, becoming fat and stupid! Don't you know that one should not beg for help and should be self-reliant in all things?"

Having said this, she tugged on the tail of Bald-Tail Fox Hu Delu. This tail was no longer very bald, but now a tuft of fur was plucked out alive, causing him to scream in pain: "Sss-ha!"

When he came to his senses, this fur had already become part of a fox nest.

Hu Jinhua manipulated the wind, borrowing its power to head toward Xu Jia.

As for Xu Jia, he was already discussing with Jin Chan how to summon and use the greedy demonic nature of the Greed Yin Demon among the fifty realms of Yin demons to break the Intermediate Yin Dharma Body.

Although Jin Chan sat upon the Treasure Basin and had turned the 7,200 debt ghosts into Xiao Jinchan, transforming debt into capital, causing this Greed Yin Demon to lose control over the Treasure Basin, he still dared not release it, fearing a backlash. Only after cultivating the Nine Great Wealth Treasuries and entering the third level of the technique Xu Jia spoke of, reaching a capital cycle, would he dare to refine and subdue this Yin demon to become an envoy under his seat.

But it was not yet possible.

Hu Agui asked curiously: "My brothel, although business is not bad, after deducting the girls' food and clothing expenses, hiring bouncers and thugs, and greasing palms, there is never much money left. I also need to buy all kinds of gemstones to consume, so I am even more strapped for cash. What should I do to earn more money?"

"You hire those prostitutes, but they are only laboring to create value; this is the lowest level, the most primitive, belonging to small money and a small layout, unable to leverage greater wealth or a greater layout."

Jin Chan said: "How about this: you discount the value of Cuichun Pavilion, give me a fifty percent share, and I will operate it; you can just sit back and collect the money."

"Hmph!" Xu Jia coughed once.

Jin Chan then restrained himself, while Hu Agui was somewhat dissatisfied: "You said to let me truly think for them, and now that I am thinking of earning more money for them, is this not allowed either?"

Xu Jia said: "Then you try summoning the Greed Yin Demon from afar."

Having said this, Xu Jia took out the "Longevity Dharma Collection" collected from the Evil Daoist.

Although the many techniques in it were evil, terrifying, and gloomy—such as the previous Five Elements Ghost Demon and Nine Sons Mother Ghost Demon—one could roughly understand the evil cultivation philosophy of the White Bone Hall lineage.

Although it was not a secret Buddhist technique, it did have methods for summoning Heavenly Demons and Yin demons. But after reading for a while, Xu Jia gave up; the rituals inside all required various things like infant corpses, rotten bones, corpse oil, and so on. One had to burn incense and light candles, sit in the middle, and then infinite turbid thoughts would surge forth, leading to lost illusions. Only within the illusions would various Yin demons and Heavenly Demons appear, transforming into what one desired or needed in their heart.

If one craved to become an Immortal, they would turn into Immortal Kings and Heavenly Venerables, preaching the Dharma and pulling you into their sect.

If one desired power, they would become emperors with three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, with ministers attending court daily.

If one missed deceased relatives, the relatives would be resurrected in the illusion.

If one craved a lover, everything would be blissful within it.

Until the flesh and blood were exhausted, the oil was spent and the lamp was dry, and the soul was harvested by the Heavenly Demons and Yin demons, eventually dying. The better off became the demon children and grandchildren of the demon lords; the worse off had their souls scattered and were divided and eaten.

Even the physical body would be seized by a powerful extraterritorial Heavenly Demon to live another life for you.

Hu Agui said: "Don't be so troublesome, can't I just enter the Dharma Realm inside this Treasure Basin with my Intermediate Yin Illusion Body?"

Xu Jia said: "I will go with you!"

He immediately sat down, exhaled his heart-general Xu Jidi, and instructed him: "Watch over the physical body!"

Then he headed toward the Dharma Realm inside the Treasure Basin together with Hu Agui.

Hu Agui also sat down, assuming the posture of pinching a flower and smiling.

Immediately, the human and the demon entered the Dharma Realm. The Jin Chan Miao inside the Dharma Realm was magnificent and luxurious, and Jin Chan was also extremely huge, sitting on the Altar. The Treasure Basin beneath his seat had turned into a huge Golden Pool, where the wealth luck in the pool was like water, yet it had ripples that seemed to lead to another world.

The huge Jin Chan in the Dharma Realm said: "Master Xu, come into my mouth; it leads directly to the Yin demon illusion world inside the Treasure Basin."

He spat out his tongue, which transformed into a golden bridge, receiving Xu Jia and Hu Agui.

Hu Agui's image in the Dharma Realm was completely that of an "Outer Path Buddha Appearance." One could see that her face was a fox face, topped with a pink skull, wearing a kasaya, and beneath the kasaya, skeletons and skulls were vaguely visible. In addition, there were lotus flowers representing "Empty Joy Non-Duality," and "Heavenly Maidens and Wisdom Consorts" surrounded by pink lewd Qi. They were all naked, wrapped only in a silk ribbon, with shy faces, holding various things symbolizing male and female love in their hands, such as a pestle hanging with two bells, or a small giant clam containing a Pearl.

Xu Jia's image in the Dharma Realm was much more formal, just a black robe with a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows, but behind his head was a golden ring. Behind this golden ring, there were faint traces of Incense Fire and wishes; it was a symbol of the "Divine Path," representing Xu Jia's Golden Body temple from his previous life and the temples established in this life...

Of course, these were all appearances of the "External Scene Heaven and Earth Deity Appearance," not the "Internal Scene Body Deity Appearance."

But every step he took landed on the Pure Land, revealing a faint halo of light.

These footsteps transformed into a "Dipper Steps Array," still possessing lingering resonance, deterring all demons, ghosts, evil things, and mountain spirits.

It was just that this Jin Chan had already surrendered, so he did not show any discomfort, but instead praised: "Master Xu truly has the demeanor of a God Immortal, transcendent and refined; no wonder you could pass on the superior Wealth God Method to me!"
