The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 213 - 211: Incident at Shui Nuan Pavilion

Chapter 213 -211: Incident at Shui Nuan Pavilion

“It appears that Master Luo held something back from his direct disciple, he didn’t tell Bai Xiaotian about the complete Pure Yang Sword Technique that has been split into two parts. As a result, he knows only about the twelve levels of the first part, unaware that there are nine more levels in the second part,” Shen Luo murmured, understanding the situation.

According to the technique, if both parts are fully cultivated, one can reach the Nascent Soul Stage!

With his experiences of practicing the Nameless Technique and the Yellow Court Sutra in his dreams, Shen Luo’s perspective has significantly broadened.

He read the first part extremely carefully and found that, except for the last two levels, the rest of the content is not too profound, at least less complicated than the Yellow Court Sutra. He could vaguely sense a sense of righteousness and a grand aura of righteousness in the technique.

In comparison, the Nameless Technique is like a winding river, while the Pure Yang Sword Technique is like a broad and straight highway.

Shen Luo continued to read on. He found that following the second part of the technique were several mystic arts like “Ghost Prohibition Technique of Yang Qi” and “Fire Attraction Technique to Burn Yin.”

...

In general, all these are based on the Pure Yang Sword Technique, combining mana and Yang Gang Qi, specifically for the function of suppressing ghosts. These techniques naturally inhibit the Yin Sha and ghost entities.

After this, the Pure Yang Scripture provides a detailed method for refining a Pure Yang Symbol Sword.

Using this method, cultivators can create Pure Yang Symbol Swords with different attributes based on different materials they use.

Once a cultivator reaches the Grain Avoidance Stage, a regularly used talisman sword can be refined into a Pure Yang Sword Embryo through a secret method. The Sword Embryo should be kept close to the body and nurtured with personal Qi.

In the beginning, a Pure Yang Sword Embryo is fragile and different from normal magical instruments; it cannot be used in combat. But once it absorbs the owner’s Qi and nurtures a spiritual nature, the sword will immediately surpass other artifacts of the same level.

Moreover, the Pure Yang Sword Embryo is inherently imbued with Pure Yang Qi, and it has an astonishing power against ghosts.

However, these are not the major points that Shen Luo sees value in. He is most interested in the enormous potential that the Sword Embryo possesses. As long as the master progresses in cultivation and has a long lifespan, it could theoretically be promoted into a legendary magic treasure.

According to his preliminary understanding, the power of a magic treasure is unimaginable to ordinary cultivators. Ordinary magical instruments are simply incomparable to it, and it is a treasure that countless cultivation sects dream of possessing.

“If I want to refine a talisman sword, considering the properties of the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, it would be best to use materials with wood and gold elements…”, Shen Luo stroked his chin, beginning to plan how to refine the talisman sword.

At the end of the method of refining the Pure Yang Symbol Sword, there is a final section that records a divine power known as the “Great Unsealing Technique”. Not only is the name unusual, but its function is even more bizarre.

According to the technique, once this divine power is cultivated, the practitioner can survive even gruesome injuries such as one’s stomach being ripped open or limbs being severed. And when it’s fully mastered, the practitioner can even survive fatal wounds like decapitation or cardiac extraction and recover immediately.

“It sounds so incredible, but is it true?” Shen Luo found this technique too unbelievable, leading him to have some doubts.

However, he didn’t have any chance to verify this now as this divine power cannot be cultivated at his current realm. The technique specifically warns not to attempt it unless one is at the Nascent Soul Stage.

There was a lot of content recorded in the Pure Yang Scripture, and it was quite complicated as well. It took Shen Luo a while to remember everything after he finished reading.

After that, it took him some more time to push down other distractions and carefully remember all the verses of the first part of the Pure Yang Sword Technique. He sat with his hands clasped in front of him, starting to meditate quietly.

A moment later, he changed his hand seals and silently recited the Pure Yang Sword Technique’s first level in his heart.

Immediately afterward, he felt a disturbance in his Dantian. A rather hot breath rose from it, passed through the Ren meridian in front of him, reached the Danzhong point, and spread around his chest.

As soon as this heat spread, Shen Luo felt a stuffiness in his chest and his body started to feel unbearably hot. He had to stop immediately and start practicing the Nameless Technique.

As the Nameless Technique invoked a cool sensation that circulated around his body, the burning sensation gradually faded away.

“It seems I was too arrogant before. Although the verses of Pure Yang Sword Technique are easy to understand, the practice isn’t that simple. It requires controlling the mana and supplementing it with Yang Gang Qi. It’s indeed not easy,” Shen Luo thought quietly.

From the look of the current unsuccessful situation, his advancement in practicing the Pure Yang Sword Technique might not be faster than the Yellow Court Sutra. Fortunately, nurturing a Pure Yang Sword Embryo doesn’t require this technique; having Yang Gang Qi and a sufficient cultivation level will suffice.

“Right now, the priority is to increase the cultivation level and extend my lifespan by practicing the Nameless Technique. However, I can try to refine a Pure Yang Symbol Sword,” Shen Luo pondered.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

After Shen Luo pushed open his room door, he went straight to Bai Xiaotian’s room. The door was already open, and Bai Xiaotian was dressed and ready to go out.

“Are you going out?” Shen Luo asked, raising an eyebrow.

“There’s a problem with the business my father is managing in the Third Chamber. He asked me to check on it,” Bai Xiaotian replied, his face dark and troubled.

“You’ve never cared about such matters; why send you?” Shen Luo questioned.

“If it was a business matter, he certainly wouldn’t have me involved, but this is a case of murder; the deaths were rather peculiar,” Bai Xiaotian explained helplessly.

“Was it at the Bayang Tower? What happened?” Shen Luo asked, frowning.

“Not the Bayang Tower, it was… the Shui Nuan Pavilion,” Bai Xiaotian answered hesitantly, seeming a bit embarrassed.

“Shui Nuan Pavilion, isn’t that the second-largest brothel on the Qinhuai River? How does your Bai Family get involved in such a business?” Shen Luo asked, somewhat taken aback.

“Cough, my family’s Third Chamber… has a wide range of businesses,” Bai Xiaotian coughed awkwardly.

Seeing that, Shen Luo refrained from teasing him and continued, “Tell me, what happened?”

“This is how it happened…” Bai Xiaotian proceeded to explain.

As it turned out, within the short span of half a month, three deaths have occurred at the “Shui Nuan Pavilion,” which their family operates.

First to go was an odd-job worker, then a mediocre courtesan, followed by a regular customer. All three of them had drowned, with their faces underwater, they were found floating on the river outside the Shui Nuan Pavilion.

The Qinhuai River generally flows from west to east, if there were floating corpses, they should have been washed away by the river. But strangely, all three bodies remained still on the water surface, none of them drifted with the current. The entire situation was truly bizarre.
