Chapter 67: Wind and Thunder Sun-Fusing Scripture
Li Mujin walked ahead, her thoughts drifting.
Her younger brother had a reckless personality, but his vision was indeed commendable.
Initially, she felt that Li Xinhan's attitude towards Shen Yi was a bit over the top, but their journey through Shuiyun Township had genuinely proven Shen Yi's capabilities.
Compared to her brother's straightforward methods and crude promises of "status" and "women," Li Mujin preferred to first establish a closer relationship, adopting a carefree attitude to dispel the reservations that a poor genius might have towards aristocratic families.
She made others feel that she was no different from them, a fellow spirited martial artist, a colleague who understood their roots, and even someone they could be intimate with.
Gradually, she allowed them to experience the privileged treatment of an aristocratic family, and once they became accustomed to it, regardless of their thoughts, at least in the eyes of others, Shen Yi would already be associated with the Li family.
The Qingzhou youth had always been grateful for favors received.
Her sincere gratitude when bowing was genuine.
Her willingness to share the Li family's resources and connections with talents like Shen Yi was also genuine, and she could even offer more than to others. At the very least, before Shen Yi reached Jade Dew Perfection, the countless treasure medicines he needed were all provided by the Li family.
Of course, the idea of bringing him under her command and using him as she pleased was equally genuine.
This was an innate ability they had developed growing up in an aristocratic family, absorbing it through their surroundings.
However, what Li Mujin didn't expect was that this was just the beginning, and Shen Yi had already realized it and politely refused her offer.
Recalling how he had repeatedly brushed off her palm earlier, she realized that this youth from Baiyun County had never believed they were on the same path from the start.
He was indeed...unmoved by her words.
Li Mujin felt a slight headache.
Shen Yi seemed to possess an inexplicable self-assurance, even when alone in Qingzhou, not relying on others, yet still able to stand firm.
She genuinely admired him but couldn't help feeling puzzled.
Where did this confidence come from?
Fang Heng, who also came from a humble background and was around the same age as Shen Yi, had only managed to break through the Initial Realm after years of soaking in medicinal baths, and he was now in the Mid-Jade Elixir Realm.
Such talent was awe-inspiring, even making their father envious.
But what was the result? Despite being accepted as a disciple by the Governor after slaying demons, that was a later development.
Before that, he had come perilously close to death at the hands of a Jade Dew Advanced demon.
If there had been a slight mishap, he would have died without a trace.
Even if he tried to replicate his path, he might not succeed, let alone Shen Yi, who was slightly inferior.
"..."
Li Mujin stopped in front of a row of separate courtyards and turned to look at Shen Yi.
He would soon find out.
The true nature of the Demon Suppressing Bureau was chillingly indifferent, treating people as mere tools.
Here, there were countless treasures, and beneath them were mountains of corpses.
Even with the support of their family, the siblings had nearly died in Shuiyun Township, let alone those without any background; over the years, only a handful had managed to make a name for themselves.
"Make do with what you have, and let me know if you need anything."
If he was unwilling, Li Mujin couldn't force him, so she stretched lazily and said, "I'm going to catch some sleep."
After she walked away.
Shen Yi turned and entered the side courtyard, which had eight rooms, with the right wall leading to another separate courtyard.
This was where the captains of the Demon Suppressing Bureau should reside.
He chose a room.
Shen Yi fetched water from the old well in the courtyard and filled a wooden bucket, then returned to his room to clean himself from head to toe.
Changing into clean clothes, he carefully examined the two cloud patterns on his sleeves, remembering what Liu Xiuje had told him—each cloud pattern represented hundreds of taels of silver in monthly salary.
This salary was even lower than that of the Thin-headed Toad, but the monthly supply of cultivation resources was the real expense.
Two hundred taels of silver, just for drinking and feasting, buying land and marrying a wife, was already a substantial amount.
Shen Yi gathered his thoughts and focused on the so-called top three Jade Dew Realm cultivation technique in Qingzhou, and his eyes gradually lit up with excitement.
Opening the book, he found annotations left by previous readers beneath almost every paragraph, along with passages that were prone to misunderstanding, all marked with circles.
This was probably the first martial arts manual that Shen Yi could understand, and he didn't rush. He carefully read through it.
By familiarizing himself with it beforehand, he would save a lot of lifespan during his future cultivation.
"Using the power of qi and blood, connect the acupoints within the body, turning it into a blood-flesh furnace, and refining the breath of heaven and earth..."
Shen Yi suddenly recalled his past.
After accumulating a massive amount of lifespan, he had once condensed the breath within his body into golden Jade Dew, although it was only a few drops.
The Wind Thunder Sun Melt Scripture was a method to accelerate this process.
Numerous acupoints were connected by qi and blood, forming the Melting Sun Furnace, trapping the Twelve Great Acupoints within.
Using the body as the furnace and qi and blood as the fire.
Like refining an elixir, he continuously tempered the breath within.
The human body had 362 acupoints, excluding the Twelve Great Acupoints, leaving 350.
According to the annotations in the book, an Inferior Essence Furnace required seventy acupoints, a Mediocre one required 150, and the Melting Sun Furnace, which gathered 270 acupoints, was the best among the Superior ones.
The difference between them was significant. The stronger the fire, the faster the refining process, resulting in a huge difference in cultivation efficiency.
In the jianghu, this would be a treasure worth risking the entire family's lives to obtain, and within a sect, one might not even get a glimpse of the cover without being a direct disciple.
"..."
Flipping to the last page, the copied large characters faintly revealed the original killing intent.
Private transmission of this art is forbidden. Violators will be executed and listed on the Demon List!
Shen Yi closed the book and summoned a panel in front of him.
[Jade Dew. Wind Thunder Sun Melt Scripture (Not Yet Initiated)]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 1,500 years. Can be Condensed]
A vast amount of demon lifespan poured into the Wind Thunder Sun Melt Scripture like a stream.
...
[Year 1: You manipulate your qi and blood, attempting to connect the acupoints within your body.]
[Year 2: Your qi and blood are depleted, and you pick up the upper scroll of the Wind Thunder Scripture again. You once used it to assist in your Mortal Perfection, and now you rely on it once more to make up for the deficiency.]
[Year 7: You have a good understanding of the Essence Furnace method, but you are slightly clumsy in practice. So far, you have successfully connected 76 acupoints.]
[Year 13: You become more proficient, avoiding all detours, and with your stable temperament over the years, you have made no mistakes. A rudimentary form of the Essence Furnace is vaguely taking shape within your 190 acupoints.]
[Year 17: Surging qi and blood begin to boil, and the Melting Sun Furnace emits a loud rumble. The breath of heaven and earth within your body tries to escape, but it is trapped by the nearly perfect furnace.]
[Year 20: While breathing and refining, two Great Acupoints have been completely filled with Jade Dew.]
"..."
Shen Yi stopped pouring his lifespan into it.
He still remembered how, in his initial ignorance, he had spent 135 years to transform half a Great Acupoint's worth of Jade Dew.
Now, in just three years, he had filled two of them.
The efficiency had increased by nearly two hundredfold, and the profundity of the Melting Sun Furnace was self-evident.
However, it was still not enough.
Logically, since he was cultivating the same internal energy, talent should only affect the time it took to connect to the Essence Furnace, and the speed of refining breath should be similar.
At the very least, it should take eighteen years to reach the Early Jade Dew Realm, and the situation was vastly different from that group of people.
Shen Yi slowly took out a Beast Essence and two Demon Cores.
As the demon lifespan poured in again, he placed them into his mouth one by one.
