Chapter 262: Romantic Fairy

"Handsome Man Method."

"Yang-Increasing and Thickening Method."

"Essence-Guarding Breathing Method."

"Pangu Spirit Root Visualization Method."

This Battle Method is not a proper school of practice; it belongs to the most heterodox of all heterodox paths.

In *Journey to the West*, Zhu Bajie knew the Battle Method, and in less than a year, he tossed and turned Luan Erjie (Mao Erjie) to death.

This technique is exactly what Xu Jia had Hu Jinhua send to Chen Liuxian.

To be honest, what those two Daoist priests said really provoked Xu Jia; if you provoke me, Xu Jia, then you haven't just provoked cotton.

A lie is just a bit of fun; the truth is the sharp blade.

After all, Xu Jia truly comes from a heterodox background, so he also has a path dependency on heterodox ways.

But that does not mean you can criticize at will; all living things follow their own paths, let alone these cultivation practices.

Xu Jia does not want to personally take action to behead these two Daoist priests, but he has his own ways to disgust them for a while.

This Battle Method, passed into the hands of Chen Liuxian, is firstly a method of harvesting and supplementing to deal with Liu Ruyan and reclaim his original essence.

Secondly, it is to increase male charm and drag these two Daoists, Ling Yun and Yilei, into the water together.

This technique is partly the "Peach Blossom Curse" from the Nanyang Head-Descending Technique of a past life, partly the "Falling Love Gu" from the Miao villages of Western Xiang, as well as the "Northern School Bedchamber Arts" of the Quanzhen Sect, and the "Joyous Method" from Hu Agui and the Longevity Sect Fawang.

This method cultivates nothing else, just like the legendary "Joyous Sect."

It increases charm, strengthens one's assets, nourishes the physical body, sublimates the spirit, and brings pleasure to the emotions.

After achieving minor success, every move and gesture can attract countless gazes, gaining the obsession of the opposite sex, or even the same sex.

It is roughly similar to the "Succubus" among Western Demon Gods.

In short, before one knows it, it can make people sink into it, unable to extricate themselves.

The more Chen Liuxian looked, the more fascinated he became, while also feeling it was very simple—understood at a glance, mastered once understood—and he immediately began to practice.

He originally had the foundation of two lifetimes, but it had been ruined quite a bit; in this life, his Yang body had also been broken early, but Liu Ruyan had previously harvested many spirit herbs, and he had also eaten Small Five Elements Pills these past few days.

He soon entered the path.

One could see strands of Inner Qi being generated for no reason; the innate Qi was thin, and it was all acquired Qi, rising to the five sense organs, scouring the blood and Qi, and changing his facial features.

He also massaged his Spirit Root, pulling or rubbing it, rubbing his palms until they were hot like burning charcoal, pressing them to the kidney pivot on his lower back; immediately, hot Qi entered the kidneys, circulated through the meridians, returned essence to the brain, increased wisdom, gained clarity, and visualized the Pangu Spirit Root. With his tongue against his upper palate, he breathed three short breaths and one long one...

The next day, Chen Liuxian woke up feeling as light as a swallow, and his eyes saw the world much more clearly. He secretly thought: "This technique is indeed a wonderful method for male health."

Just that one set of massage techniques to stimulate acupoints was no less effective than eating a Ginseng-stewed chicken.

When he finished washing and looked into the water basin, he saw a layer of faint, dry, dead skin flakes on his face.

He was startled for a moment, then scrubbed them clean, only to discover that although it was a bit red, the skin seemed more tender, and the pores had become finer.

"It really works; that... that prescription must also be useful."

"Three taels of Peach Blossom, two mace of Toad Skin, one mace of Cicada Slough, one mace of Nine Fragrance Insect, one mace of Stiff Silkworm, half a mace of Musk... compounded into pills. When forming the pills, sincerely chant the mantra: 'Om ma chi li ha ma za...', turning the mundane into the spiritual, and it will naturally have ten times the cultivation effect."

He was already at a pharmacy, so he immediately began to gather the herbs and compound them into pills.

These pills were mostly made of insect medicine, taken from the Head-Descending Technique and Gu arts.

It is just that Head-Descending Technique and Gu arts like to use live insects and things like corpse oil; Xu Jia improved it so it wouldn't be so troublesome. Combining it with the "Peaceful Way Method," he gathered its efficacy into the mantra; as long as one chants with a sincere heart, one can sense the "Romantic Fairy."

This Romantic Fairy is none other than a Dharma Lord deity, the Moon Goddess Chang'e; this is again part of the "Lunar Method."

The Romantic Fairy specializes in romantic affairs and is one of the many attendant female immortals of the Taiyin Star Lord; she is inferior to the likes of Su'e and Heng'e, or the wives of the Five Emperors of the Moon, roughly similar to the "Old Man Under the Moon," but at a lower rank.

After making the pills, Chen Liuxian took a few, feeling a warmth in his body, while at the same time a faint scent began to emanate from him.

Waiting for Li Dafu to come over, he saw Chen Liuxian and looked him up and down: "Your spirit is quite good today. It seems you listened to this old man and restrained your desires. But to recover so quickly, it seems the foundation of a young man is still good."

He immediately added: "There is a True Person on Yushan building the Three Pure Ones Palace and recruiting disciples. I know this True Person; he once experienced a life-and-death tribulation and had his name removed from the King of Hell's register. I intend to recommend you to try. If you can be initiated into the palace and learn a trick or two, it will be of endless use."

Chen Liuxian originally had no interest in this, but having just practiced this male health method, plus Hu Jinhua's ghostly appearances last night, and a knot in his heart that had long been unable to be removed, he asked: "Is it that Three Pure Ones Palace in the city that is being hyped up, saying that if you succeed in becoming an apprentice, they provide food and lodging, and give five hundred coins every month? And if you don't learn anything after a year and go home, they give two taels of silver as severance pay?"

"That's right, food and lodging are provided, and this money is what you save; in a year that's six thousand coins—eight hundred coins to a tael of silver—plus the two taels of silver, you can save nearly ten taels of silver, not to mention they will teach you literacy and arithmetic..."

"It's just that this Three Pure Ones Palace only accepts youths under twenty-four, otherwise I'm afraid a large crowd would go up the mountain to slack off. You are only seventeen this year, just right to go and try. As long as you can hold a horse stance for half an hour and recite three chapters of the *Tao Te Ching*, you can enter."

"Do they really have real skills?" Chen Liuxian asked curiously.

"How could they not have real skills? You don't know that everyone at Dizang An died? It was this True Person who solved it."

That's right, Li Dafu had also become an Outer Disciple, but he did not worship the immortals; he only learned a portion of the health-preserving methods, as "Daoist Physician" and Daoism share the same origin.

This Li Dafu still had some substance; he was not only skilled in medicine but also knew some *I Ching* divination. Although not profound, he had some understanding of gods and ghosts.

Previously, when Xu Jia used *Jieshi Huanhun*, he even saw that Xu Jia was suffering from "Separated Soul Ghost Syndrome" and told Xu Mu and Xu Jia's father to invite a Daoist, but the Daoist invited was a wicked priest of the Longevity Sect, which could not be blamed on him.

Last time Xu Jia came to save him personally, he was also present, so naturally, he wanted Chen Liuxian to find a master and cultivate.

He even saw that Liu Ruyan was not human, but he did not spread the word. During the Dragon Boat Festival when the Flood Dragon caused chaos, Liu Ruyan went into hiding for a while, and Li Dafu found palm-sized snake skin fragments in the courtyard. He quietly sprinkled a lot of realgar wine around the pharmacy.

It was just a pity that there was a storm at that time, which washed away all the realgar wine. It was exactly when the cloud-dragon, transformed from a breath of the old dragon of Poyang, was accumulating cloud clusters and Water Qi in the sky.
