Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Mysterious Yin Technique

  Shi Yan followed the group of people led by Zhao Kun, advancing towards the Valley of Eternal Darkness without stopping.

  All the way, Kagami fully demonstrated his role, and various strange plants and ferocious monsters were cleared one by one under Kagami's guidance.

  Tsuwabuki is indeed the half-owner of the Dead Silent Marsh, and his understanding of the marsh far surpasses that of Akatsuki. He seems to be extremely familiar with even the most obscure areas of the marsh.

  All the way, Zhuo Qi cleared away the obstacles on the road as easily as snapping twigs, so that Chi Xiao and Xia Xinyan didn't need to lift a finger and could focus on conserving their energy for the upcoming battle against the Nine-Headed Sky Snake.

  The closer you get to the Valley of Darkness, the heavier the yin energy becomes.

  Gradually, Shi Yan discovered that the flow of his vital energy had slowed down recently, and his muscles and bones seemed to have been affected by the yin energy, making his body somewhat stiff.

  Zuo Shi is also the same.

  The closer they got to the Valley of Extreme Yin, the paler Luo Shi's rosy face became, clearly also very unaccustomed to the increasingly heavy yin energy.

  "Let's take a break for now, Paw Qi, Miss Xia, we should also stop to study the treasure map." Chi Xiao's heart ached as he stopped on a cleared flat ground, took out the treasure map from his bosom and waved it at Paw Qi and Xia Xinyan.

  Tsuwabuki had wanted to continue on his journey, but as soon as he saw the treasure map that Sekiryū took out, he agreed.

  He hastily came forward, heh-heh sneered: "I am most familiar with the Valley of Absolute Yin, let me take a look at the treasure map, I will definitely find the location of the Heavenly Gate for you."

  Xia Xinyan hesitated for a moment and also moved forward.

  Chi Yan was already familiar with the markings on the treasure map, and upon hearing this, he handed the map over to Xia Xinyan, letting her take a look at it while he himself walked towards Zuo Shi and Shi Yan.

  "How are you two feeling? Can you still hold on?" Chi Xiao asked, but his eyes were directed at Zuo Shi.

  Zuo Shi's small face was slightly pale, and he looked bitter. "I can hold on, but it's a bit uncomfortable. The yin energy is slowing down the flow of my jing yuan, and it seems to be consuming my jing yuan even more. The closer I get to Jue Yin Valley, the faster my jing yuan is consumed."

  "This is a normal phenomenon." Chi Xiao nodded and explained: "The yin energy is heavier, which will affect the body's function. At this time, the Jingyuan in our body will make adjustments on its own. The Jingyuan has been activated, so it will naturally be consumed. You guys pay attention, this has just started not long ago, and the yin energy inside Jueyin Valley is even heavier. If it's really unbearable, you can stop outside Jueyin Valley."

  "Master, it seems like Xuanwu Zhenbing can dispel some of the yin energy." Zuoshi suddenly said.

  Chi Xiao was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Since the Xuanwu True Seal is effective, why didn't you focus on cultivating it earlier?"

  "I just found out too." Zuo Shi stuck out her tongue, gave a mischievous smile and said in a spoiled tone: "Alright, I'll start practicing the Xuanwu True Seal with more care from today. I discovered that as long as I attach one layer of seal energy to my body, those yin energies seem unable to get in."

  "If you had been so diligent earlier, I reckon your Xuanwu True Body would have been cultivated by now." Chi Xiao shook his head in dismay, with a hint of frustration.

  "I'm so annoyed, it's not too late for me to work hard now." Zuoshi pouted and hummed.

  Hong Xuan sighed secretly in his heart and immediately looked at Shi Yan, "How are you feeling?"

  "It's okay, I can hold on." Shi Yan said calmly.

  "Uh, you should be mindful of your own strength." Chi Xiao nodded, "If you feel like your body can't take it, you can stop and let Han Feng stay behind to protect you. Ku Long can come with us into the Absolute Yin Valley instead. This time, we just need to figure out what's inside the Heavenly Gate, just a preliminary probe. Once we understand its secrets, the Shi family will send more powerful experts over, so don't worry too much about it, you don't necessarily have to enter the Heavenly Gate."

  Shi Yan nodded and didn't say much else.

  Chi Xiao comforted him with a couple of words and reminded Zuo Shi to work harder, then walked towards the direction of Zhuo Qi and Xia Xinyan.

  "Master, before we came, the master of the house instructed that your life is the most important. If you can't bear it, don't force yourself, the master said. This time, as long as we can figure out the exact location of the Heavenly Gate and what's inside, that will be enough." Ku Long whispered beside Shi Yan.

  "I understand." Shiyuan said with a calm expression, furrowing his brow.

  In the distance, Zhang Qi and Xia Xinyan, along with Chi Yan, were still staring at the treasure map, studying it.

  Although Zhao Qi claimed to be very familiar with the Valley of Absolute Yin, after seeing the treasure map, he seemed to have encountered some difficulties and was frowning and whispering to Chi Xiao and others.

  Shi Yan glanced over there and slowly sat down on the spot, with thoughts flashing through his mind.

  He was extremely curious about Tianmen as well, and this time he explored it, hoping to enter Tianmen and see what it was all about.

  However, the yin energy here is indeed a trouble, it's everywhere and gets thicker as you approach the Valley of Absolute Yin, which has a slow impact on his body.

  He hasn't even reached the Extreme Yin Valley yet, but he already needs to consume some of his essence to counteract the effects of the yin energy on his body. If he really enters the Extreme Yin Valley, who knows how heavy that yin energy will be? If at that time the essence in his body is exhausted, and he encounters another danger, things will be troublesome.

  Must find a good way to eliminate the impact of Yin Qi on the body!

  He sank into thought for a moment, and Shi Yan's expression gradually became determined. He sat cross-legged on the ground, constantly searching through the depths of his mind for all sorts of memories, wanting to find a solution from within his memories.

  A flash of insight suddenly flashed through his mind!

  Mysterious Yin Formula!

  Shi Yan's expression changed, and he suddenly had an epiphany. He hastily took out the backpack behind him and retrieved the ordinary martial skill manual "Xuan Yin Scripture" that he had obtained from Karu.

  This Xuan Yin Jue is just a mortal-level martial skill, and it shouldn't be too profound. When cultivating, one needs to gather yin energy; the heavier the yin energy in a place, the more suitable it is for cultivating Xuan Yin Jue.

  At first, he obtained the Xuan Yin Jue from Ka Lu and saw that it was only an ordinary martial skill, and also needed to find a place with heavy yin energy to cultivate, so he directly gave up.

  After arriving at Shi's house, he saw too many kinds of martial arts in Shi's family and didn't take the Xuan Yin Jue, which was only a mortal-level martial art, to heart.

  So, the Xuan Yin Jue had been placed in his backpack by him all along, and was almost forgotten.

  This is an extremely yin place, with a heavy yin energy between heaven and earth. It's precisely the ideal location for cultivating the Xuan Yin Jue!

  Although the Xuan Yin Jue is only a mortal-level martial skill, because its cultivation requires collecting the yin energy of heaven and earth, once the body adapts to the laws of yin energy, it can no longer fear the entry of yin energy, and can even gather yin energy into an attacking force.

  Shi Yan didn't put the power of Xuan Yin Technique in his heart, in his view, it was just a trivial mortal-level Xuan Yin Technique, and its power was naturally limited.

  However, this Xuan Yin Jue absorbs yin energy, allowing the body to adapt to the special effects of yin energy, which happens to be able to solve his current problem!

  So, Shí Yán immediately picked up the Xuan Yin manual.

  While Chi Xiao, Zhao Qi and Xia Xinyan were searching for the location of the Tianmen on the treasure map, he had already immersed his mind in the Xuan Yin Jue, concentrating on understanding the cultivation method of the Xuan Yin Jue.

  Sitting on the ground, Shi Yan's expression was solemn and he silently flipped through the Xuan Yin Scripture.

  Before long, he had finished reading the scroll of Xuan Yin Jue. Shi Yan's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he quietly put away the Xuan Yin Jue in his backpack, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

  This Xuan Yin Jue, although it is only a mortal-level martial skill, appears to be extremely strange. To cultivate the Xuan Yin Jue, one must stir up the yin energy of heaven and earth, forming three yin whirlpools around the Tian Que, Shen Que, and Yin Dou three acupoints on the chest.

  Once the three vortexes are formed, as long as the Xuan Yin Jue is urged, the vortex composed of the three vortexes can actively swallow the surrounding heavenly and earthly yin energy.

  After three whirlpools have absorbed enough heavenly and earthly yin energy, they can form three yin pearls at the center of the vortex. Once the three yin pearls are formed, they will actively sink into the Tian Que, Shen Que, and Yin Du, the three major acupoints.

  The Yin Pearl has taken shape, and the Yin Vortex can continue to devour the world's Yin energy, seemingly without end.

  As long as the absorbed heaven and earth yin energy is sufficient, a new yin pearl can be formed inside the yin vortex. Once the yin pearl takes shape, it will sink into the three major meridians again.

  The more yin pearls inside the cave, the greater the power of Xuan Yin Jue.

  Those who cultivate the Xuan Yin Jue can gather the surrounding heavenly and earthly yin energy by activating the Xuan Yin Jue in areas where the heavenly and earthly yin energy converges, and then absorb it all into the central three major yin vortex within their body.

  This Xuan Yin Jue is just a mortal-level martial skill, but it doesn't say how much yin energy can be swallowed.

  It seems that as long as there is enough yin energy in the world, the three great whirlpools can continue to devour everything forever, without ever coming to an end.

  Shi Yan had also seen many methods of cultivating martial skills in the Martial Soul Hall of the Shi family, but he had never seen any as strange as the Xuan Yin Technique.

  Any martial art has a day of successful cultivation, but the Xuan Yin Jue seems to have no end, as long as the yin energy of heaven and earth is sufficient, it can be cultivated endlessly!

  With a calm face, Shi Yan silently sat on the ground, carefully sorting out the cultivation method of Xuan Yin Technique in his mind, and felt that this simple ordinary martial skill was somewhat unusual.

  However, Shi Yan did not hesitate too much. In order to enter the center of the Absolute Yin Valley smoothly, he reviewed the cultivation method of the Xuan Yin Jue in his mind a few times. Seeing that Chi Xiao and Zhang Feng were still discussing in low voices on the other side, he immediately began to cultivate.

  Look at the nose with the eyes, look at the heart with the nose, and sink the spirit into the Tianque, Shenzong, and Yindu three major meridians in the chest. Quietly stir up the yin energy inside the body and gather those yin energies at the location of the three meridians.

  In this process, Shi Yan's body was slightly stiff and couldn't fully adapt to the effects of the yin energy on his body.

  Gradually, the yin energy enveloped the Tian Que, Shen Que and Yin Dou three acupoints, following Shi Yan's thoughts, transforming into strands that gently revolved around the three acupoints.

  He practiced the Xuan Yin Jue and suddenly felt that his body had an inexplicable attraction to the yin energy of heaven and earth.

  As he condensed the swirling darkness, the nearby heaven and earth's yin energy quietly gathered and entered his body through the fine pores of his skin, surging along his meridians to the three acupoints, transforming into strands of strange yin energy that slowly rotated outside his acupoints.
