Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Zhang Fan nodded, stood up, and walked out of the office.

Bai Buran looked through the gap in the blinds, watching Zhang Fan’s figure, his eyes slightly narrowed, a spark flashing through them.

”What did the boss want with you?”

Jiang Hu spun his chair and swayed over to Zhang Fan’s side.

”Just some random chat.”

”Are you free after work later? Come with me to meet someone.”

”Who?” Zhang Fan asked casually.

”Qi Ji.”

”Hmm!?” Zhang Fan was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned odd.

”Is he back in Yujing again? How did you guys reconnect? Has your relationship reconciled?”

Back in Maoshan, Jiang Hu and Qi Ji were both rivals and friends. After being expelled from the sect, Qi Ji disliked him even more.

”After the Shen Family incident last time, I went back to Maoshan once.” Jiang Hu spoke softly in a calm voice.

At that time, if he hadn’t risked his life to hold on, all those talisman masters of the Shen Family infected by Qi Ji’s ruthless methods would have died...

That was indeed more than a hundred lives!

Jiang Hu stopped Qi Ji’s deadly move, and Zhang Fan dispelled the talisman seeds from those infected by the [Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror], which was a great merit.

Because of this, Maoshan’s attitude towards Jiang Hu had softened, and Qi Ji’s perception of him had changed considerably. Gradually, the tension between them was not as intense as before.

”Looks like there’s hope for you to return to the sect.” Zhang Fan couldn’t help but say.

After the Shen Family incident, he did have some contact with Qi Ji too. They added each other on Super Chat, and from what he gathered, Maoshan also seemed to have the intention of letting Jiang Hu return to the sect...

After all, Jiang Hu’s talent in the Talisman Dao was indeed exceptional, mastering the technique of [Mid-air Talisman Painting] at a young age, and he was manipulated by Wu Ma during those years of innocence without even being aware...

The exile and hardships over the years were punishment enough.

However, on the matter of whether to let him return to the sect, there were still great divisions among Maoshan’s leaders.

”I don’t expect to.”

Jiang Hu had a positive mindset. Over these years, he had gotten used to staying at Night is not bright, having Zhang Fan, Wen He, Old Yu, and Zhang Fan around him... having these classmates was enough, and he didn’t hold high hopes of returning to Maoshan.

”What did he come down the mountain for?” Zhang Fan asked casually.

”I don’t know, we’ll know when we meet.”

”Alright.”

Zhang Fan nodded. More friends, more paths. He was already quite familiar with Qi Ji, frequently interacting on Super Chat, liking each other’s posts, and even helping to cut a deal on PingXixi more than once...

That’s a huge connection!

Zhang Fan leaned back into his chair, enjoying the rare leisure of the morning, sipping soy milk, munching on meat buns, breathing in the mixed aroma of food in the office, and opened the page of the ”Little Yellow Book,” habitually clicking on the personal homepage of [Thousand-Year-Old Demon].

Since the last update about [Three Corpses Daoist and Ten Thousand True Incense], Thousand-Year-Old Demon seemed to have vanished, never appearing again.

When he was in Dongshan Province, Zhang Fan logged on several times, but the opponent’s avatar was always gray, even secretly wondering if the guy had retired from the internet.

”As expected, still not online.”

Looking at that dull gray avatar, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but show a look of disappointment. He was quite curious about this [Thousand-Year-Old Demon], as his own ability to master the [Fire Dragon Pill Sword] was also greatly related to him.

This mysterious presence hiding on the internet always seemed to appear at his critical moments, enlightening him profoundly.

”Hmm? Updated?”

At this moment, Zhang Fan’s eyes brightened, and he discovered that [Thousand-Year-Old Demon]’s homepage had actually updated a post, with the update time being around three in the morning yesterday...

The post was titled:

”The Exquisite Marvel of the Human Three Palaces, The Three Corpses is a Calamity to Immortality”

”Interesting!” Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, an unusual feeling arising within him, and immediately opened the post for confident study.

After just reading half of it, Zhang Fan fell into deep thought.

This post by Thousand-Year-Old Demon was extremely special, expounding the secret of the Three Palaces.

The so-called Three Palaces are Daoist terms, referring to the upper, middle, and lower dantians of the human body.

The upper dantian, Mud Ball, also known as the Primordial Palace, is the dwelling place of the Primordial Spirit.

The middle dantian, Divine Mansion, also known as Jiang Palace, is where blood and energy circulate.

The lower dantian, Sea of Qi, also known as Profound Palace, is where True Yang is tempered.

The secret of cultivating into an immortal lies within the Three Palaces.

The True Yang Liquidation phase is completed at [High Skill], then one must gather herbs through [Jiang Palace], use blood energy to circulate through Circulation, temper True Yang, until forming, nourishing a Golden Core in the [Profound Palace].

The final step is for the Primordial Spirit to travel from the [Primordial Palace] through the [Jiang Palace] and into the [Profound Palace], settling into the Golden Core for eventual rebirth.

Such Primordial Spirit is also the so-called Yang God, known as the Realm of Pure Yang Wuji.

At this moment, the secret of cultivating into an immortal becomes extremely straightforward, the theory is just so.

However, according to what is said in [Thousand-Year-Old Demon]’s post, apart from the innate Primordial Spirit, there are also three corpses coexisting in the human body.

That is the disaster for cultivators, the great tribulation for immortals,

Even in [The God Sealing List], the classic novel of Divine Demon, there are records of [Three Corpses], and even achieving the position of Golden Immortal, without eliminating the three corpses, one would still suffer the [Immortal Tribulation], facing the Heavenly Dao’s blade, and having one’s name left on the God Sealing List.

This shows how terrifying the disaster brought by the so-called [Three Corpses] is to practitioners.

”Cultivator, in seeking to become immortal, one must encounter the three corpses, only by encountering the three corpses can one perceive the true nature and original fate!”

”Three Corpses Illuminating Fate!?” Zhang Fan’s brow twitched, absorbed in thought.
