Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Teaching the Nine Yin True Scriptures
It was likely the only one of its kind on the entire continent.
As for Chen Xin attending the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Guardian Douluo Ceremony and the subsequent title conferral ritual, Zhou Yi did not stop him.
He also promised Ning Fengzhi that he would attend the ceremony on the same day.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi finally sighed in relief.
After the feast, filled with food and drink, Ning Fengzhi departed with Gu Rong.
Chen Xin would leave after a few more days.
Zhou Yi, however, would leave on the same day, but it was not urgent.
With Ning Fengzhi and the others leaving, the Zhou household became quiet.
Zhou Yi, unusually busy, began his work.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, being an extremely rare and special top-tier soul beast, was truly a treasure from head to tail.
Besides the Black Pearl he had obtained before, the hook on its tail, known as the Evil God Hook, was also impressive and could be refined into a long whip weapon.
Apart from these two items, there was also a whip.
It was quite something.
It was three feet long.
It resembled the wolf-tooth club used by ancient warriors.
Thus, Zhou Yi brought over a large vat of wine, combining it with other herbs, and created a vat of medicinal wine as tall as a person.
He then soaked the items inside, planning to drink a few sips each night.
Though the Twelfth-level Golden Bell Shield was not necessary, who could resist such an indulgence?
Afterward, Zhou Yi took out a white, translucent flower-like herb that looked as pure as a blue lotus.
This was a rare spiritual herb: Water Immortal Jade Skin Bone, known for its effects of nourishing tendons and bones, and unblocking the body's meridians. Its effects were mild.
Zhou Yi intended to use it with gentle wine, combined with other herbs, to create a medicinal wine to support the cultivation of his wives' martial arts.
Next, he took the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, two rare poisonous spiritual herbs with extreme cold and heat properties, and combined them with other herbs to create Mysterious Ice And Blazing Fire Wine.
[TL/N: prev. Frostfire Elixir.]
There were many other herbs, and Zhou Yi mostly turned them into medicinal wines as they preserved well and were effective.
After a flurry of activity, it was evening. Zhou Yi went to the kitchen and took out a faint purple spiritual herb.
At the top of the herb was a cap-like structure, and it turned out to be a Lingzhi fungus.
The Lingzhi was purple throughout, with a stem as jade-like as emerald, sprouting nine leaves.
This was a Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi.
While it wasn't a true immortal-grade herb, it had the effect of solidifying the foundation and enhancing vitality.
Zhou Yi planned to use part of it to help Liu Erlong recover.
In the original text, Tang San gave this herb to Yu Xiaogang, aiding his martial soul transformation.
Considering Yu Xiaogang had already become his disciple and worked tirelessly for him, Zhou Yi decided to give him some of this herb to facilitate his martial soul's transformation, ensuring he wouldn't remain useless and embarrass Zhou Yi when out in the world.
After all, if one wants a horse to run, they must occasionally feed it some grass. They couldn't starve it.
Having prepared the Lingzhi soup, Zhou Yi went to Liu Erlong's room.
"Husband!"
Liu Erlong, upon seeing Zhou Yi, flashed a brilliant smile and rose to greet him.
"Erlong, I've simmered a pot of Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi Chicken Soup to help nourish your body," Zhou Yi said as he brought the soup to her.
He lifted the ladle and gently blew on the broth before saying with a smile, "Here, open your mouth."
Liu Erlong opened her mouth and took a sip, her eyes filled with happiness. Then she quickly said, "Husband, I can do it myself!"
She wasn't that delicate.
Even if she were to hunt soul beasts, she wouldn't hesitate in the least, let alone with anything else.
"Good, be obedient!" Zhou Yi said as he lifted the ladle, not allowing any refusal.
"Okay!"
Liu Erlong obediently approached Zhou Yi, allowing him to feed her spoon by spoon. She felt both moved and sweet inside.
"Husband, meeting you has been the happiest thing in my life!"
After finishing the Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi Chicken Soup, Liu Erlong wrapped her arms around Zhou Yi's neck, giving him a fragrant kiss and speaking passionately.
"It's getting late. Let's rest now," Zhou Yi said, kissing her forehead and preparing to rest with her.
"Husband, go accompany Ah Yin or Shishi. I don't mind!" Liu Erlong said thoughtfully.
As she hugged Zhou Yi earlier, she felt a huge change within herself.
"No need to say more. I'll be with you tonight, and tomorrow I'll spend time with them!"
"But…"
"No 'buts'!"
Zhou Yi was firm, but Liu Erlong's heart was filled with sweetness. Lying in his embrace, she felt guilty.
Zhou Yi had personally made the soup, fed it to her, and stayed with her…
He treated her with such tenderness and care.
She couldn't just think of herself.
She wanted to repay him.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Erlong suddenly dove into the blankets.
"Erlong…"
The Next Day
"Ah, Husband, my soul power has actually increased by two levels?"
Liu Erlong woke up, surprised and delighted to find her progress.
Could it be that Zhou Yi's… had an effect on her soul power?
Of course, this thought passed quickly.
She knew it must have been the effect of the Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi Chicken Soup Zhou Yi had prepared.
Last night, she thought the taste was great.
After drinking, her body had felt warm all over.
She hadn't expected such a powerful effect.
Her soul power had actually increased by two levels!
"It's nothing to worry about that your Soul Power has only increased by two levels. In the future, I'll help you improve even faster!"
Zhou Yi smiled lightly, showing no surprise or astonishment.
That was a tonic made from the Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi combined with other rare medicinal herbs, so the effects were naturally extraordinary.
Of course, the greater effect was on strengthening the body and improving the constitution.
This effect wouldn't show immediately, but its long-term impact was profound.
"Husband, thank you!"
"No need to be so polite. If you really want to thank me, why not give me something more tangible like last night?" Zhou Yi said with a mischievous grin.
"Pervert! Don't mention that again!"
Liu Erlong's face turned bright red in an instant, and she glared at Zhou Yi in mock anger.
She hadn't expected that she had, almost out of instinct, initiated a physical encounter with Zhou Yi…
"Alright, I won't bring it up!"
Zhou Yi chuckled as he helped Liu Erlong, her cheeks flushed and eyes filled with shyness, out of bed.
After breakfast, Zhou Yi called for Yu Xiaogang.
"Master, Madam!"
Yu Xiaogang bowed respectfully.
"Xiaogang, on my journey, I found a Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi and specially made a medicinal soup for you. After drinking it, your Martial Soul should evolve, and you'll break through your level limit!"
Zhou Yi gestured for someone to bring up a bowl of the medicinal soup.
This was the leftover concoction from the previous night when he had made chicken soup for Liu Erlong.
Even so, with Zhou Yi's Master-level medical skills, the effect of this medicinal soup would definitely be far superior to Yu Xiaogang directly swallowing the Nine-Petal Purple Lingzhi, as he had done in the original story.
"Evolve my Martial Soul? Break through the level limit?"
Yu Xiaogang froze, his mouth gaping in disbelief.
"Master, did I hear that correctly?"
Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled with excitement.
Having suffered from his Martial Soul's malignant mutation, which turned it into a useless Martial Soul and left him unable to surpass level 30, his life had been full of pressure. He had been expelled from his family.
The main reason he had chosen to become Zhou Yi's disciple was to evolve his Martial Soul.
"If it works, you'll know once you try it!" Zhou Yi smiled confidently.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Master's grace is boundless. Xiaogang will remember this for the rest of my life!"
Yu Xiaogang was deeply moved and trembling with gratitude.
His hands shook as he took the soup and drank it all in one go.
Then, he quickly sat down and began to meditate.
Soon, a faint purple light began to emanate from his body, and a layer of black fluid began to seep out from his skin.
"Xiaogang's evolution needs time. Let's go now!" Zhou Yi glanced at Yu Xiaogang and led Liu Erlong away.
At the same time, he instructed the servants not to disturb Yu Xiaogang.
In the backyard, Zhou Yi gathered Ah Yin, Li Shishi, and Li Baishi.
The four women assembled.
Each pair of beautiful eyes gazed at Zhou Yi with curiosity.
"I've gathered you all today because there's something very important I need to discuss."
Zhou Yi's gaze swept across the four exquisite faces, and as he spoke, the four women, including Liu Erlong, looked serious.
"You remember how I've been teaching you about meridians, acupoints, and the like? That's so I can teach you cultivation techniques today!
"This technique I call Martial Arts!
"Martial Arts cultivates Martial Qi, and you can treat it as Soul Power. Though it's different, the effects are quite similar!"
The four women listened quietly, their expressions shifting with curiosity, doubt, and confusion.
"I could explain this all day, but it's better for you to experience it yourselves. Now, I'll teach you the Nine Yin True Scripture, and once you've entered the basics, you'll truly feel the allure of Martial Arts!"
Zhou Yi didn't say much more. He personally guided them through the Nine Yin True Scripture.
Saying it a thousand times or ten thousand times was no match for experiencing it firsthand.
The women had already learned about meridians and acupoints.
Since Liu Erlong and Ah Yin had Soul Power, they were able to cultivate the Nine Yin True Scripture the fastest.
This was because Soul Power could be used as True Qi.
After Zhou Yi's explanation, Liu Erlong and Ah Yin were able to barely circulate their Soul Power following the Nine Yin True Scripture's path.
It wasn't perfect, but it was a start.
As they completed one cycle of circulation, Liu Erlong and Ah Yin's expressions suddenly changed. They exclaimed in shock:
"Master, it's bad! My Soul Power hasn't increased; in fact, it's decreased!"
