Chapter 73: Three Methods! Outer Elixir, Inner Elixir, and Emerging the Yang Spirit

~8 min read 1,450 words

Fang Dongtian naturally knew how precious that cabinet of medicine of Lin Xuan's was.

It is no exaggeration to say that if those medicines were placed in ancient times, they would absolutely be able to trigger a great war in the Outsider world.

Even in this era, it is estimated to be about the same.

"This old Daoist is done for; you should just keep them for your own use."

"Look at what you're saying, Grandmaster, it's as if it's very difficult for me to get these medicines. I could just wander around a deep mountain or old forest for a month and find another cabinet full for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was immediately displeased.

Once these words were out, Luo Daming and Fang Dongtian were left speechless.

Because if you think about it carefully, it really is the truth.

"Are you certain?"

Luo Daming was somewhat excited.

"No!" Lin Xuan shook his head directly.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Luo Daming was choked by his own saliva.

Fang Dongtian also stared wide-eyed.

You brat, you really know how to keep people hanging.

"Before it is truly accomplished, no one can say they can do it. Anyway, since the Inner Elixir truly exists, then the legends of becoming an Immortal immediately upon swallowing a Golden Elixir might not all be fake.

Besides, you two also know about my luck."

They knew, they knew all too well.

"Forget it, let's not do it."

Fang Dongtian was somewhat moved upon hearing this, but then shook his head.

As the old antique of the current Baiyun Guan, although the inherited power of the Complete Perfection lineage of Baiyun Guan had been lost, he could still guess at some information.

If Lin Xuan refined an Inner Elixir himself, coupled with his extremely good luck, perhaps nothing would happen.

But if he really helped others condense an Inner Elixir, perhaps some bad things would occur.

Fang Dongtian had already let go of it.

He also did not want to cause any impact on Lin Xuan because of himself.

But this could not be stated clearly.

"Grandmaster, don't you worry about it. Besides, I haven't beaten up the Celestial Master yet; I should have the ability to do that now."

Once Lin Xuan said this, Fang Dongtian's eyes lit up.

"That's good then. It just so happens that for this Luo Tian Dajiao, you should go."

"Cough, Grandmaster, this Luo Tian Dajiao is for Longhu Mountain to select..." Luo Daming reminded him.

Fang Dongtian suddenly realized.

"Right, right, right, you can't participate, then you can just take two people to go participate."

Fang Dong said, and rubbed his hands together, seemingly unable to wait.

"How about we go together?"

Lin Xuan asked tentatively.

"I'm going too?"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Fang Dongtian pointed at himself, then thought for a moment.

"That works too. I reckon I won't have a chance to see them in the future anyway, so it's a good time to go see a few old friends."

After pondering, Fang Dongtian agreed to go together.

Lin Xuan and Luo Daming felt somewhat helpless upon hearing the old man's words.

Grandmaster has completely let go of everything.

"Alright, stop worrying about me. Little Xuan, since you want to research the way of the Outer Elixir, this old Daoist still has some face; I will go talk to those people from the Golden Elixir Sect.

However, you should also be open-minded about my affairs. I've already lived for over a hundred years; I don't care, so you don't need to overthink it.

Especially you, Little Xuan; with your ability, you might truly be able to become an Immortal and an ancestor, with a lifespan much longer than normal people. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the common lot of humanity.

A practitioner must be open-minded."

"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Grandmaster."

Lin Xuan nodded gently upon hearing this.

"Teachings is too strong a word. Now you are the True Person with the deepest cultivation in our Dao Sect. If you weren't a disciple of our Baiyun Guan, this old Daoist would have to address you as True Person and pay my respects when I saw you."

Fang Dongtian waved his hand.

"Then Grandmaster, please rest. I will come to pick you up after I have made the arrangements."

Luo Daming saw that Fang Dongtian seemed a bit tired and said tactfully.

"Yes, by the way, Little Xuan, don't go into seclusion for so long at once in the future. In this era, changes happen too fast; at the very least, come out and walk around every month or so.

Staying in seclusion all the time is not a good thing."

Hearing Fang Dong, Lin Xuan naturally nodded and agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Lin Xuan brought Qing Bai Er She and Luo Daming out together.

"Benefactor, it is only a hundred-plus years."

Qing She spoke softly.

There was some confusion in her voice.

"This is the difference between humans and demons. Although human intelligence is higher than demons and the progress of cultivation is faster than demons, in other aspects, humans do not have the advantage.

For example, you all; even if you haven't opened your spiritual wisdom, as long as you have mastered Qi, a hundred or even several hundred years is not rare."

Lin Xuan also understood Qing She's curiosity.

"Is the Outer Elixir you mentioned really feasible?"

Luo Daming listened to Lin Xuan explaining to Qing She, hesitated for a moment, and said.

"Grandmaster is actually just one step away from the threshold; if Grandmaster were a few decades younger, following my cultivation method and having my Inner Elixir to observe, it wouldn't be impossible.

But now that Grandmaster is old, the Outer Elixir is one way."

"One way? Could there be other ways?"

Luo Daming keenly caught the implication in Lin Xuan's words.

"Yes, give my Inner Elixir to Grandmaster."

Lin Xuan nodded and said it lightly.

"Ah?" Luo Daming's eyes widened, and Qing Bai Er She were also dumbfounded.

"No, absolutely not, I don't agree, and Grandmaster wouldn't agree either."

"That's why I didn't say it."

Lin Xuan naturally knew that Fang Dongtian and Luo Daming would not agree.

He reckoned that if he were to say it out loud, Fang Dongtian might just drop dead right in front of him.

Lin Xuan knew his own weight in the eyes of Luo Daming and Fang Dongtian.

So he hadn't mentioned this method at all.

"Cultivation is everyone's own journey; your Inner Elixir is the fruit of your cultivation, how can you easily yield it to others."

Luo Daming breathed a sigh of relief and said with a stern expression.

"But the path of the Inner Elixir is too slow; I spent one month on Fire Element Smelting, while I spent over four years on Wood Element Smelting, and I don't know how long it will take for the rest.

It's too long."

Lin Xuan spoke up.

These words made Luo Daming so angry he puffed out his beard and glared.

Listen to that, is that even human talk?

For an ordinary Practitioner, to successfully cultivate an Inner Elixir in a few decades or a century is already a stroke of immense luck.

And yet Lin Xuan actually complained it was slow?

"The greatest taboo on the path of cultivation is impatience; you are already showing signs of this!"

Luo Daming sighed, his tone very serious.

He was clearly reminding Lin Xuan.

"Yes, I have that feeling too; perhaps it's because I'm too young."

Lin Xuan nodded gently.

Naturally, he had also noticed this himself.

"As long as you understand; you have been intelligent since you were small, and I can't really guide you anymore, but on the path of cultivation, you have already walked ahead of everyone else on the path of the Inner Elixir.

It is best not to change your path of cultivation at will."

"That's true!"

Lin Xuan nodded again, then changed the subject.

"Actually, there is another way for Grandmaster."

"Ah? There's more?"

Luo Daming was taken aback by Lin Xuan's sudden change of topic, then asked in surprise.

"Grandmaster's life cultivation is also very profound, and his Yang Spirit techniques are the strongest in the world; the Yang Spirit can exist independently once it leaves the body."

"Wait a minute, you don't mean, like that Tie Guaili, do you?"

Legend has it that Tie Guaili cultivated his Yang Spirit and used it wantonly, but as a result, his body was destroyed, and he had no choice but to possess the body of a newly deceased lame beggar.

"Not quite, how about we get a statue for Grandmaster?"
