In the Yin Yang Sect, in addition to senior deacons and inner hall elders who are eligible to set up caves outside, intermediate deacons, low-level deacons, inner disciples, outer disciples, reserve disciples, and handymen must all live on Mengyin Peak, and according to their level, The range of residence also varies.
Shi Chishang, who works as a handyman, will later live in several market towns around Mengyin Peak. The concentration of yin energy in the towns is about twice as high as that of the outside world.
Preparatory disciples such as Jin Yaqin can live within 10,000 feet from the foot of the mountain. The yin energy in this area is twice that in the market town, which is four times that in the outside world.
As for those outer disciples who live in a higher area, the concentration of Yin Qi is of course higher.
As the only handyman in the group, Hu Lingxi had already sent Shi Chi Shang away when they approached the foot of the mountain.
Below is a town, which is the residence of many servants of Jiyingtang. The steward here has received the message and came to pick Shi Chishang away.
The steward was an outside disciple, with a gentle attitude and no airs. He was just surprised when he saw the male Shi Chishang, and then brought Shi Chishang back to the town and briefly introduced him.
There are sixteen towns like this at the foot of Mengyin Peak. The people who live here are all handymen. There are hundreds of thousands of them. Some choose to become handymen from the beginning, and some are forced to become servants because they make mistakes or fail to pass the examination. Preparatory disciples were eliminated.
Every day, they need to complete a lot of busy chores, such as weeding and fertilizing the elixir garden, making the most basic inscription parts, etc. Not only are these tasks time-consuming, but they also have very few merit points.
According to this steward, those who are lucky enough to be assigned the task of caring for spiritual plants will receive ten merit points per month, plus the twenty points of salary paid each month, and the monthly merit points will be about thirty. About.
Of course, that's when being assigned to a "high" reward task like taking care of spiritual plants. In most cases, the merit points that a handyman can obtain by completing tasks every month is only four or five points.
Merit points are a popular "currency" within the Yin-Yang Sect. Whether you are using a mobile phone package, purchasing elixirs, magical weapons, or exchanging for the training room of the Secret Realm Hall, you need to spend merit points.
Among them, the training room of the Secret Realm Hall is the most important. Depending on the merit points spent, different levels of training rooms can be used. There is even a training room with a Yin Qi concentration comparable to that of Yitang's first residence. Of course, its price is also frighteningly high.
Shi Chishang now has a total of sixty merit points on hand, which is a reward that every newcomer will be assigned. Of course, according to the prices within the Yin Yang Sect, he feels that he can last for two months at most.
Although when you reach the underworld level, you no longer need to eat or anything, but you still need to buy elixirs commonly used within the Yin Yang Sect to purify the side effects of Yin Qi.
No matter how cheap the elixir is, it still costs thirty merit points a month. This is why it is always difficult for handymen and outer disciples to advance.
The side effects of purification alone have basically emptied the family fortune. How can I still use the training room to seek breakthroughs?
Of course, you don't have to buy the elixirs and just rely on the first level of "Yin Yang Purification Art", but the purification effect of this kind is minimal, and on the contrary, it will distance you further from other people.
Unless you are extremely talented, you can rely on the first layer of "Yin Yang Purification Art" to completely purify the side effects.
However, how could such a person be reduced to a handyman?
Although he was reduced to a handyman, one thing that made Shi Chishang extremely happy was that the handyman's residence was no longer the Datongpu before, but a large house with one person per person.
After all, the number of people in the Yin Yang Sect is not directly proportional to the area. It can be said that the land is vast and the people are sparse, and there is no need to squeeze out handymen in terms of living area.
Because he was the only male in the town, Shi Chishang was arranged by the manager to live in the most corner of the town. The surrounding area was deserted for several miles and there were all empty houses. But this was just what he wanted, so he wouldn't have to talk to strangers.
After arranging for him to stay, the steward left.
Shi Chishang walked around his house twice and set up several warning restrictions. Then he returned to the house, closed the door, and sat down alone.
A man sat alone for a moment. The door of the room suddenly opened slightly, and then he saw a figure floating in from the outside. His black hair was flowing like a waterfall of ink, and he was wearing a purple robe as light as a foggy valley and as thin as a cicada's wings. , with fluttering wide sleeves, and two straight and slender long legs as sparkling as snow, can almost enchant people, making it difficult to control themselves.
Next to this slender figure, there was a little girl with a pouty mouth and pink skin like a porcelain doll, staring at Shi Chi Shang with a dissatisfied look on her face.
Seeing the two people coming in, Shi Chishang, who was closing his eyes and falling asleep, opened his eyes and smiled: "Master Wen came very late!"
With a sweet smile, Wen Yanjun let go of Youquan, letting the little girl pout and rush to Shi Chishang's side: "It's not because of your trouble, the other five leaders of Taiyin Domain have been pestering me for a long time, I I got the advantage but it’s hard to just leave, so I can only sit there and listen patiently to what I just said, you girl, you are so heartless.”
The last sentence was from Wen Yanjun talking about the two bottles of elixirs handed to Shi Chi Shang by Youquan.
They are also people with outstanding qualifications. Shichishang joined Jiyingtang and was reduced to a handyman, living in the most remote corner of the town at the foot of Mengyin Peak. Youquan joined Jiyingtang, but was taken in as a secret by Wen Yanjun on the spot. The disciples were given a large number of high-level elixirs for cultivation, healing, and enhancement.
At this time, the two bottles of elixirs that Youquan thrust into Shi Chishang were both high-quality elixirs used to enhance the effects of cultivation.
Shi Chishang didn't bother to be polite to Youquan. He rubbed her little head and put the two medicine bottles into the storage ring. Then he looked at Wen Yanjun, nodded and said with a smile: "I'll trouble Mr. Wen about this."
"You're welcome. I'm just curious about who you are."
Wen Yanjun came and sat down in front of him. He didn't hesitate to do anything. He just crossed his legs and exposed his long snow-white legs in front of Shi Chi Shang. They were so white that they were very attractive.
Turning a blind eye to the pair of beautiful snow-white legs, Shi Chishang just smiled and said lightly: "When we first made the contract, Chief Wen promised not to explore the origins of this junior. Don't break the promise now."
Hearing him mention the oath, Wen Yanjun's expression changed slightly. He seemed to be a little wary, but his gaze at him became more profound: "The Styx Contract, this is what we, the Lord of the Underworld, can do at will." Using the oath, you, a little Hades Lord, can not only use the Styx Contract, but also summon the Styx projection... That's all, I don't want the Styx to swallow my true spirit."
Raising his hand and throwing out a jade slip, Wen Yanjun said calmly: "This is what we agreed on, the general outline of the advanced alchemy teaching of Dandingtang, the "Yin Soul and Yang Body Differentiation Method", and this token."
Shi Chishang took the jade slip, scanned it with his meditation, raised his head and smiled with satisfaction, then reached out to take the token handed over by Wen Yanjun, and looked at it carefully.
"This is a sub-order of my first order, which allows you to enter and leave Mengyin Peak at will. However, please note that there is no formation outside Mengyin Peak to filter Taiyin Qi. If you rush in, once you absorb too much Taiyin Qi, it will be harmful to you. It will cause great harm to your physique.”
Staring at Shi Chishang, Wen Yanjun had a look of confusion on his brows: "You obviously have a top-level Yang physique that has surpassed the Sun Body and the Emperor Yang Body. Why do you have to give up on yourself and stay in Mengyin Peak? This Taiyin Qi and Your constitution is not suitable, and if you are exposed to it for a long time, it will damage your foundation.”
"This is my private matter," Shi Chishang put away the token and the jade slip, clasped his fists and smiled, "I made a three-part agreement with Chief Wen. I will let Youquan stay and inherit the mantle of Mengyin Peak. Chief Wen will help me stay in Mengyin." Feng, let me help you get these three things, now the agreement has been made, you and I don’t owe each other anything.”
Looking at Shi Chishang's expression, Wen Yanjun suddenly chuckled, lightly hooked his fingertips, held Shi Chishang's chin from a distance, and said with a playful smile: "You are such a little guy who has no regard for inferiority. I treat you so well." I'm really interested. If your cultivation hadn't been too weak to withstand the pressure of my true spirit, maybe I would actually be willing to have a double cultivation with you!"
Leng Buding was teased by this female hooligan. Even though Shi Chi Shang had a free and easy temper, he couldn't help but feel his heart trembling. He said with a smile: "My lord, you are just joking."
After a snort, Wen Yanjun retracted his hand angrily and said calmly: "I don't know what your plans are, but there are many people outside now who are mocking you. I hope that your performance can hit them hard in the future. Face, then it’s not worth it for me to accompany you in this performance.”
He cupped his fists and saluted again, Shi Chishang's eyes became more serious: "Thank you, sir."
Waving his hand, Wen Yanjun grabbed the back of Youquan's neck and said with a smile: "Okay, I've seen you before. It's time to go back. For the next period of time, you should give me a good retreat. At least you can teach me the secret of Mengyin Peak." Let’s lay the foundation for teaching the exercises.” The following words were naturally addressed to Youquan.
Youquan naturally refused, but fortunately Shi Chishang comforted her with a warm voice for a long time before she reluctantly left with Wen Yanjun.
After sending the two girls away, Shi Chishang closed the door, then took out the jade slip that Wen Yanjun had just given, and his thoughts slowly sank into it.
There are two volumes included in this jade slip. One is the "Supreme Edition: Advanced Alchemy Teaching General Outline" sold to the public by Dandingtang. There are four versions of this general outline. This one among the jade slips is the most expensive Supreme Edition. There are seven volumes in total, each of which records in detail an advanced alchemy technique.
The other part is "Yin Soul Yang Body Transformation Method". The thunder clone of the fish that turned into a dragon relied on this secret method to refine it.
It's just that the secret technique Yu Hualong has at hand can only refine low-level clones below the underworld level, and the one given to him by Wen Yanjun has been improved and perfected by the Yin Yang Sect in the ghost world for hundreds of years, and it can be completely refined. A clone of the Hades Lord or even the Hades Emperor level.
Shi Chishang first carefully browsed the "Extreme Edition·Advanced Alchemy Teaching General Outline". After roughly understanding the differences between the seven alchemy techniques, he then started reading the "Yin Soul and Yang Body Differentiation Method".
Compared with the clone technique of the Yu family in the human world, Shi Chishang's "Yin Soul and Yang Body Differentiation Method" has more complicated requirements. It not only has extremely high requirements for the refining environment, clone materials, spell seals, etc., but also It will cause great losses to the cultivators themselves.
Of course, while the requirements are complicated, the refined clones will also be more powerful.
Like Shi Chishang, who is at the peak of the Underworld Lord, as long as the materials and environment pass, the weakest clone can reach the strength of the Underworld Lord in the later stage. If you are lucky, it is possible to reach the peak of the Underworld Lord or even half-step to the Underworld Lord. possible.
After carefully reading the "Yin Soul Yang Body Differentiation Method" dozens of times from beginning to end, Shi Chishang memorized all the requirements, and his face showed a bit of solemnity.
"If the properties of the environment and the material are the same, then the properties of the clone will be purer. Maybe my idea is feasible, but if I want to refine a clone that can reach the peak of Hades and carry the strength of the Dao pattern, the quality of the material It can’t be too low.”
Shi Chishang frowned slightly. If he wanted to refine a clone with exclusive attributes, the environment and materials would also need to match the corresponding attributes. Moreover, his ambition was not small. If the clone was too weak, it would be useless to him.
The best way to gather materials is to buy them, but with the meager merit points he has on hand, it is really impossible to purchase materials that meet the requirements.
At this moment, he is like a college student who has just graduated. His impoverished family cannot help him. No matter how good his professional skills are, he cannot buy a commercial house in Xujiahui, Shanghai in a short time.
Scratching his head, Shichi Shang retracted his meditation angrily, thinking about the resources he could use now. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. After playing with the storage ring for a long time, he took out a ball filled with thick cold mist. ice cubes.
This ice block is only the size of a palm. The thick netherworld energy turns into a vast white cold mist, covering the surface of the ice layer. Through the cold fog and the surface of the ice layer, you can vaguely see a shining pale plant sealed inside the ice block. Glossy lotus.
This is the Water Fairy Lotus that Shi Chi Shang snatched from Cheng Baihe's hands in the Valley of All Evils.
This Nether Water Fairy Lotus was born from Bizhong's back and was infiltrated by the Netherworld's aura day and night. Although it is not the top spiritual plant, the quality of the Nether Water Fairy Lotus can still be achieved when it comes to refining the peak clone of Nether Lord.
Back then, Cheng Baihe took the risk and led everyone into the Valley of All Evils in order to use the Nether Water Fairy Lotus to exchange for something from the Yin and Yang Sect. Unfortunately, Shi Chishang didn't know her specific plan. Now she needs to refine a clone, so this Nether Water Fairy Lotus This is the most suitable thing for now.
Throwing the ice cube away, Shi Chishang's thoughts quickly changed. The attributes of the refined clone had little effect on him. As long as it could carry the Dao pattern in his life elixir, that would be enough.
However, according to the description of the "Yin Soul and Yang Body Differentiation Method", when refining the clone, it is necessary to separate a small part of the true spirit and inject a massive amount of energy, which will undoubtedly severely damage the refiner's vitality.
He has just joined the Yin Yang Sect, and the situation he is in is relatively complicated. It is best not to show signs of deterioration in strength in a short period of time, otherwise there is no telling what problems may arise.
Thinking of this, Shi Chishang silently took back the ring of Nether Water Fairy Lotus, and looked out the window with a look of concentration and expectancy.
Next, he will temporarily live in Yin Yang Sect, and he doesn't know how his senior sister is doing in Yama Mansion now.
