Chapter 1945 1.1944 Essence Qi Transforms into Spirit
Looking down at the seven-hearted begonia in the drawer, and glancing around at the treasure drawers piled high like an exquisite pagoda, Princess strategist Li Huixin, lost in thought, couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Yue Lingshan (Li Jiaxin) of the Huashan Sect, does the shopkeeper know her whereabouts?"
Princess strategist Li Huixin was asking about a character from the same novel, *Swordsman II: The Invincible East*. She is also one of the alternate versions of the same character. In the story, she and her fellow disciples planned to retire from the martial arts world, but were drawn into a revenge conflict after Dongfang Bubai murdered their fellow disciples, ultimately embarking on a journey of wandering the world.
"They must be in the prison." As expected of the female version of the martial arts world's all-knowing scholar, Du Shiniang, the manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, indeed knew the inside story: "Recently, 'a purple star fell from the sky, and the three realms were thrown into chaos,' and many people in the prison were killed or injured. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were afflicted with a terrible disease. They were neither human nor ghost, half-dead and half-alive. I heard that there was a painted wall that could protect our lives and property. So we all fled there and have been living a life of ignominy ever since."
"I see." Princess's strategist Li Huixin remained noncommittal: "The Painted Wall Realm is not a paradise either. In the end, there is no way to avoid it. We should work together and fight to the death to survive."
“What the princess says is absolutely right.” Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, wholeheartedly agreed.
Without further ado, after everything was arranged, Right Protector Xiahou Ying pointed and said, "Draw!"
A flash of cold light, and it moved with lightning speed.
Nine swords are drawn, and dragons soar through the nine heavens.
They swiftly circled around, forming a sword formation. Right Protector Xiahou Ying unleashed nine swords: "Flying Swords Gathering at the Cauldron!"
Wind Sword, Fire Sword, Thunder Sword, Lightning Sword, Cloud Sword, Mist Sword, Frost Sword, Snow Sword, and Heaven Sword flew into the air, spinning and circling. Once the momentum of a whirlwind was formed, Right Protector Xiahou Ying once again commanded the nine swords: "Control the swords as furnaces!"
Nine swords, like dragons, flashed with lightning and roared with thunder. Amidst the resounding dragon roars, the blades softened and bent, their openings narrowed, and the suction force increased sharply.
The beauty, sealed within the eternally frozen ice crystals, was then sucked into the sword furnace.
The furnace contains its own universe, capable of holding all things in heaven and earth.
Right Protector Xiahou Ying chanted the incantation: "Chaotic Dance Across the Sky!"
Wind, fire, thunder, lightning, clouds, fog, frost, snow, and the sky—nine swords circled around, creating a series of strange phenomena that threatened to destroy the world.
From within the chaotic sword formation, a celestial sword descended. Like a thunderclap shaking the earth or a rainbow falling from the sky, it was faster than lightning and quicker than a shooting star. Its sword energy, like a rainbow, shattered the millennia-old ice crystals swirling in the center of the sword formation. The sword formation spun and landed. The sword tips curved as they touched the ground, becoming smooth and unyielding, a truly magnificent and solitary sword furnace.
At that moment, the Hunyuan Golden Elixir embedded in the furnace lid once again unleashed its power, emitting a beam of golden light that entered the furnace.
Cheng Lingsu's clothes turned to dust, revealing a Seven Heart Begonia she always carried. Five inner elixirs were placed on the liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, and spleen, corresponding to the Jueyin Liver Meridian, Taiyin Lung Meridian, Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and Taiyin Spleen Meridian of the twelve primary meridians.
The spirit fire possessed him, burning fiercely.
Visibly, the stagnant twelve meridians began to circulate blood and remove blood stasis. The spiritual energy accumulated in the five internal organs and eight extraordinary meridians by the two spiritual herbs, 'Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom' and 'Heavenly Snow Lotus', then accelerated its diffusion, gushing out from the limbs and bones. With a "whoosh," a blazing spiritual fire ignited.
At the critical moment, the five inner cores emitted a faint light one after another. A vortex then appeared at the core, drawing in all the spiritual fire.
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, are mutually restraining and mutually generating.
Driven by the Hunyuan Golden Elixir, the inner elixir circulates, and the five elements generate each other. The "Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals - The Meaning of the Five Elements" states: "Wood is the beginning of the five elements; water is the end of the five elements; earth is the middle of the five elements. This is the order of the heavens. Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. This is the relationship between father and son."
The Seven Treasures are: body fluids, water, saliva, blood, spirit, qi, and essence.
The Complete Works of Jingyue on Blood Disorders states: "Humans have Yin and Yang, which are blood and Qi. Yang governs Qi, so when Qi is abundant, the spirit is vigorous; Yin governs blood, so when blood is plentiful, the body is strong. Human life depends solely on these." The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic on Fundamental Organs states: "The five Zang organs are for storing the spirit, blood, Qi, soul, and vital essence; the six Fu organs are for transforming water and grain and circulating body fluids."
The spirit resides in the brain, hence the brain is the "abode of the primordial spirit." The five internal organs store essence, qi, blood, and body fluids: "The liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the intention, the heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the corporeal soul, and the kidneys store the will." Essence, qi, blood, and body fluids constitute the "form" of a person; soul, spirit, intention, corporeal soul, and will constitute the "spirit." Therefore, it is said, "Without form, the spirit has nothing to attach to; without spirit, the form has no life," "The form is the dwelling place of the spirit, and the spirit is the master of the form," and "When form and spirit are both present, lifespan extends beyond one's natural lifespan." Thus, only when both "form" and "spirit" are present can one be considered a human being.
Humans originate from "essence," rely on "vital energy," and transform into "spirit."
From the Five Elements Inner Alchemy to the Seven Treasures Golden Elixir, the missing "three treasures" are precisely essence, qi, and spirit. Some may ask, if the Five Elements to the Seven Treasures only lack two, why add three?
It's all because of "essence and energy transforming into spirit (You're truly amazing, sir!)".
The five inner cores—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—mutually generate each other. They absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained within the "Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom" and the "Heavenly Snow Lotus." Then, under the illumination of the Primordial Golden Core, they merged into one, transforming into the Seven Treasures Golden Core, which was embedded in the branches of the Seven Heart Begonia. Blessed by the golden core, the Seven Heart Begonia was refined into a withered wooden hairpin.
Since it is a magical artifact, it should naturally be in harmony with its master's will. The Seven-Heart Begonia withered wood hairpin transformed into a streak of dark light and inserted into Cheng Lingsu's hair bun.
Furthermore, as a magical artifact, the Seven-Heart Begonia withered wood hairpin can transform into the Seven-Heart Begonia withered wood staff. Cheng Lingsu, who inherited the name of "Medicine God and Poison Immortal," can use this staff to both heal the sick and bring disaster to the world.
When the sword furnace is reopened, the nine swords will be returned to their sheaths.
The reborn Cheng Lingsu not only came back to life but also greatly increased her power, becoming a healing immortal master of the Demon Hunting Sect.
The room was filled with women, so it didn't matter if they weren't wearing any clothes.
On Wangyun Cliff, there are seven sects, each with its own unique magical weapons. For example, the Right Protector Xiahou Ying wields the Dugu Nine Swords; the Left Protector Sai Xiaojing possesses the Armored Yuan Shen Axe; the Sword-Forging Elder Honghua wields the Wu Hook; the Western Region Elder Wei Shi Yueji wields the Demon-Suppressing Seal; the Blissful Elder Ximen Rou wields the Chastity Armor; the Rejuvenating Elder Gu Xianniang wields the Sparrow Feather Fan; the Princess's Strategist Li Huixin wields the Ruyi Pearl; the top courtesan of the Huixian Elegant Gathering, Qin Cao, wields the Rainbow Feather Robe; and the Emei Righteous Sect Leader, Abbess Jingyin, wields the Yin-Yang Sacred Fire Token. The Healing Immortal Master Cheng Lingsu wields the Seven-Heart Begonia withered wood hairpin.
"The Nine Swords of Dugu are extraordinary." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, was thoroughly enjoying the experience.
"The two protectors are the right-hand men of our sect." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, pressed on: "May I ask, innkeeper, what are the two difficulties?"
Calming herself down, Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, brought up the second difficult matter: "Please redeem Huang Cuifeng, a courtesan at Changsanshuyu."
"What a coincidence!" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, beamed with delight. "Changsan Academy has been merged into Huitian Pavilion. The Demon Hunting Sect has seven factions, and Huitian Pavilion is one of them. Can this be considered a redemption?"
“That's settled.” Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, smiled gracefully. “In that case, only one difficulty remains.”
Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, had already guessed: "Could it be Yue Lingshan, the junior sister of the Huashan Sect?"
“Indeed.” Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, nodded slightly: “When the princess asked about it before, I also did not know its whereabouts. Therefore, this is the last challenge.”
Imagine, even Du Shiniang, the all-powerful manager of the Baibaoge (a famous antique shop), didn't know Yue Lingshan's whereabouts. This matter must have been even more difficult.
However, unfortunately, the spiritual cores of just three female companions who are each other's opposite dimensions can form a "stellar vortex." It's as if a spacetime rift in a multiverse has been opened, and the female companions who successfully initiate a "quasi-unique ecosystem" can even sense the existence of every other opposite dimension scattered in the broken spacetime.
Even more terrifying is the "Omniscient Vision" guardian skill of the "Omniscient Virgo," which illuminates the entire star field.
Once Wu Chen finds a character in the story who has had some interaction with Yue Lingshan, he can pinpoint her location. Then, he can use time travel to capture (or salvage) her.
"What a coincidence!" Upon hearing Princess Li Huixin ask who in the North Fortress had known Yue Lingshan, Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, exclaimed, "It's no coincidence!" "That person is none other than Yang Shishi."
Yang Shishi, the concubine of Dongfang Bubai, was a dancer from Beibao who bought the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" divine skill.
