Chapter 146: Xu Lingsu
The Eight Trigrams Mirror was a Daoist magical artifact, widely recognized in folk culture as a charm to ward off evil, secure homes, and invite fortune.
Once enhanced, its power became even more potent. To demons and malevolent spirits, it was a lethal weapon.
Li Yanchu tucked the Eight Trigrams Mirror into his robe as a last-resort safeguard. After that, he fully immersed himself in cultivation, working to stabilize his new realm.
After all, it was because of the talisman armor he acquired in the tomb that his strength had surged, allowing him to leap from the Qi Refinement stage directly into the second realm.
At this level, the Qi-Booster Pill that once benefited him had become almost ineffective. As for a better solution, Li Yanchu hadn’t found one for now. All he could do was continue to cultivate steadily and diligently.
Fortunately, he was now in possession of several powerful Daoist treasures, which provided tremendous support to his cultivation and in some ways compensating for his lack of natural talent in the Dao.
Li Yanchu finally enjoyed three days of rare peace.
That night, while he was cultivating the Yellow Court Classics, spirit energy circulated endlessly within his organs and meridians.
The Daoist path emphasized nourishing life and preserving the body, extending one’s years. The Yellow Court Classics, in particular, was balanced and harmonious, and its spirit energy nourished both the soul and the flesh.
This was why, in many folk legends, Daoist masters were described as white-haired yet youthful, and their appearances were seemingly untouched by time. It was one of the unique strengths of Daoist cultivation.
Suddenly, Li Yanchu snapped his eyes open and looked toward the door. “Since you’ve come, why not come in?”
His voice carried a soul-shaking resonance, resounding like thunder. It was a Mantra of Truth incantation from the Yellow Court Classics he practiced.
