Mythological origins

Moreover, this first training class was taught by Mu Ziqing himself, because there were only two people who knew this set of exercises inside and outside the sect.

One was her, and the other was Bai Mo. Could it be that she would not lead the team herself and let the senior Huashen do the work?

With both material rewards and the Jindan Patriarch’s personal preaching, the antipathy in the sect subsided a lot for a while.

After all, for the Qi-refining cultivators of small and medium-sized sects, it is not an easy thing to hear the preaching of the Jindan seniors.

Many disciples came to the sect, began to practice Taoism, and finally left the sect in obscurity, established their own families, and even died in the ground. Perhaps they did not have the opportunity to hear a preaching from the Jindan cultivator.

If they cannot be promoted to the foundation-building stage, the maximum lifespan of the Qi-refining cultivator is about 100 years old. Most of them will die in their 70s or 80s due to the hidden injuries accumulated from fighting in their youth.

According to the rules of most sects, if a disciple is over 35 years old and still has not entered the late stage of Qi Refining, he will be sent to the industry outside the sect to be a deacon, responsible for managing the sect's external affairs.

Except for reporting work once a year and emergency matters, they basically will not step into the mountain gate again.

This means that the sect's support for their cultivation path ends here. The next time is to accept their fate. The sect will no longer provide basic monthly salary, leaving only the treatment of being a deacon.

Because generally speaking, the best age to build a foundation is before the age of 40. After the age of 40, even for Qi Refiners, the body function will begin to decline gradually, and the chance of building a foundation will become increasingly slim.

Of course, there are exceptions. There are also legendary figures in the world of immortal cultivation who built a foundation at the age of 60, but they all encountered a chance against the sky to break the rules.

Most young people with spiritual roots start to practice Taoism from the age of 12 to 15, and it takes about 20 years for them to leave the sect at the age of 35.

However, for a Jindan cultivator who lives to 400 years, twenty years may be just a relatively long retreat.

Eyes closed, opened again, a generation has passed.

…

"We are free..." Lin Fan looked at his companions who were cheering and jumping for joy, and suddenly felt full of unreality.

Just a few days ago, they were still "yang materials" kept in captivity by the cultivators, and their only fate was to be sucked dry by the immortal masters and then die.

Almost everyone accepted their fate, and many people who took the initiative to sell themselves even felt that being raised as pigs in the Yin-Yang Sect was better than returning to the chaotic world and living a life worse than pigs and dogs.

Now that the Yin-Yang Sect has given them the freedom to choose to leave or stay, they hesitated instead.

Unlike Lin Fan, who may have a bright future with the Yin-Yang Lock in his hand, the Yang materials are just a group of mortals whose families have been broken up in the chaotic world.

Some of them even took the initiative to sell themselves to the Yin-Yang Sect because their families were too poor and they couldn't afford to support so many people, so they sold themselves to the Yin-Yang Sect in exchange for some food and money for their families.

In the Yin-Yang Sect, although the immortal masters did not regard the lives of mortals as their own, compared with the rebels and government troops outside who also took human lives lightly, at least the Yin-Yang Sect provided them with enough food and drink, and they could also train their bodies, so that they were well-nourished and had strong hands and feet.

Even if these impoverished young people returned to their hometowns, they would never have the opportunity to mix with Yin-Yang Sect fairies, who were all enchanting cultivators at the level of enchantresses. At best, they would find a rough-handed peasant woman to farm and weave for the rest of their lives.

In the process of being taken by these enchantresses from time to time, their standards were raised too high... even if they were real enchantresses who could eat people.

So in the end, even if the Yin-Yang Sect took the initiative to release them, few people were willing to leave.

Of course, this did not include Lin Fan.

He knew that the Yin-Yang lock on his body had been targeted by the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, but he was hesitant and delayed to take action because of the warning of the young man in white. The Yin-Yang Lock is now a treasure connected to his life. Taking it away is the same as taking away his heart.

Lin Fan is unwilling to let his life and death be controlled by the pity and hesitation of others. He must go, or fly away to a place where he will never be found.

Anyway, there is a very huge inheritance in the Yin-Yang Lock, and he does not need to linger on the Yin-Yang Five Elements.

…

"Mom, do you really want to sacrifice twenty years of your life to refine the Yin-Yang Five Elements?" Mo Fengwu asked seriously in a room of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Madam Yan is already thirty-one years old this year. If she sacrifices another twenty years of her life to refine the immortal method, the remaining life span is obviously not much in this world where the average life span of mortals is less than sixty years old.

"I heard from the senior that a large part of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art is the result of my husband's hard work. His greatest wish in this life is to have spiritual roots and become a true immortal cultivator."

"I want to be your adoptive father's eyes, see the scenery that belongs to immortal cultivators, and spread his life's hard work. As for life and death, after he died, my heart had already died. Now I am just a walking corpse.

You and Caihuan are still young, so there is no need to use the blood sacrifice method..."

"What's the use of being young? Spiritual roots are innate and will not grow later. I have decided to follow my adoptive father's footsteps and see what the immortal cultivation world he has been thinking about is all about!"

"I think so too. Since Tianxie left this hard work, we should promote it."

The women talked one after another, and finally decided to refine the Yin-Yang Five Elements Art with blood.

...

The first phase of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Training Course was held in the main hall of the Yin-Yang Sect.

This hall seemed to have used a few space formations when it was built, and thousands of people sat in it without feeling crowded at all.

In the front row were the foundation-building elders of the Yin-Yang Sect, as well as the special family of Xin Ling and Mo Fengwu.

Behind them were hundreds of Qi-refining disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Behind them were thousands of "yang materials" that were released.

Thousands of people all looked at the sect master Mu Ziqing who was preparing to preach on the stage.

To be fair, for the disciples and elders of the Yin-Yang Sect who had true spiritual roots and inherited the Yin-Yang Qi Jue, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Jue was completely useless. Not only was it difficult to practice, but the combat effectiveness was also very weak.

But there was no way, the form was stronger than the person, and their positioning was the first batch of lecturers to spread the Yin-Yang Five Elements Jue on a large scale. If they wanted to promote this thing to mortals, it would be useless to rely on a few high-level cultivators to work hard.

The huge number of Qi-refining cultivators were the main force of the promotion work.

Moreover, the sect also promised that after they completed this training, they would be rewarded with ten spirit stones for every new member they taught to pass the sect test.

For a Qi-refining cultivator whose monthly salary was only ten spirit stones, this was a very considerable income.
