Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 63 - 44 Zhang High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book!

Chapter 63: 44 Zhang High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book!

Golden Wind Mountain.

Fierce Tiger Ravine.

Ban Zhao and Ban Ya supported their mother out. The latter grinned and said, "Doctor Chen is truly a good man. When I escorted him back, he kept reminding me time and again to move out of the cave."

"Indeed."

"Running all the way here in the middle of the night for a house call—where can you find such a willing doctor?"

Ban Zhao nodded in agreement.

Clearly, they had a favorable impression of Doctor Chen of Dai County.

Ban Feifei, supported by her two sons, sighed and said, "It’s your mother who’s dragged you into this. There are experts in the city who have always been prejudiced against us spirits. If by chance we crossed their path—"

"Mother."

"We neither harm nor eat people, and we practice cultivation peacefully here in Golden Wind Mountain. Human experts won’t trouble us."

Ban Zhao consoled his mother.

Ban Ya chimed in as well.

In truth.

They understood: Many spirits do bring harm.

Although the trio of mother and tiger sons refrained from doing evil, they were nonetheless still spirits. In the eyes of those Taoists, monks, rangers, and swordsmen, they equally deserved death.

"Alas."

Ban Feifei sighed, saying no more.

The three ascended the mountain together and moved into a row of wooden cabins. Before long, Ban Feifei revealed her original form and fell asleep. Ban Zhao and Ban Ya, meanwhile, stepped outside and also transformed into their true forms, lifting their heads to the sky to cultivate with their energy techniques.

An hour passed.

After concluding their practice,

they used their claws to flip through two scrolls of scripture. The pages, stained yellow to prevent insect damage, fluttered gently in the breeze. On the outermost page, seventeen characters were inscribed—

"High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book."

...

Dai County.

A clinic’s rear courtyard.

"High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book."

"Finally, it’s complete."

In the courtyard, Chen Jichuan activated his "Thousand-mile Eye," secretly observing the cultivation of the two Ban sons while copying down the Daoist scripture.

Although the night had its minor complications,

the outcome was still favorable.

After five or six nights of effort, he had finally managed to transcribe in full the "High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book," which the two Ban sons and Ban Feifei regarded as a priceless treasure.

"This scripture is indeed profound."

"No wonder the two Ban sons spend a long time poring over it daily after their cultivation."

Chen Jichuan flipped through the scripture from beginning to end, finding it highly cryptic. The small portions he could barely decipher were brimming with profound mysteries.

"Now that the scripture is complete."

"I need to begin deciphering it in earnest and uncover the ’Taiyin Refining Body Technique’ hidden within as soon as possible."

Chen Jichuan felt delighted.

He had been in Dai County for three months. After establishing himself and treating patients, word of his reputation spread, attracting martial artists to seek his medical expertise.

These Jianghu folks, knowledgeable as they were, provided Chen Jichuan with plenty of insight.

He learned that,

within Da Liang, there was also a Martial Arts world.

The martial practitioners were divided into various types. Some practiced external techniques, focusing on the body and physical skills akin to the Chen Sect’s Seventy-Two Extreme Skills. Others practiced inner strength techniques, similar to the Divine Pouncing Saber and the Ghost Fall Sword.

External techniques were further divided into external boxing and inner boxing.

Neither was definitively stronger than the other.

Individuals with exceptional natural gifts—like those born with innate divine strength—who trained in external boxing could reach astonishing pinnacles of achievement. At such heights, even Transforming Strength Grandmasters, let alone those skilled in "dark strength," would find them difficult to contend with.

"Brute force conquers all."

Such figures were indeed formidable.

For ordinary individuals, external boxing had the advantage of a faster start and quicker results. But in terms of long-term potential, inner boxing reigned supreme.

Inner boxing relied on "moving techniques."

While inner cultivation methods depended on "static techniques."

Each sect and school.

Had its own strengths.

The Jianghu brimming with experts.

Some reached the level of Transforming Strength; others attained the Innate realm, or became unbeatable in external skills. The Martial Arts of Da Liang were far more extraordinary and thrilling than those of the Great Yann World.

Apart from martial artists,

Da Liang was rife with spirits, demons, and ghostly entities that wreaked havoc in the land.

"Yin cannot thrive in isolation."

"Yang alone does not endure."

Wherever shadows existed, light would also prevail.

Taoism and Buddhism.

These were the nemeses of ghostly entities and demonic beings.

"The ’High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book.’"

"It belongs to the Daoist canon and contains the true method—the ’Taiyin Refining Body Technique.’"

Whether it was a Daoist method or Buddhist practice, both were far more cryptic than ordinary martial arts manuals, filled with specialized terms that only monks or Taoists versed in these traditions could decipher.

The true methods were often hidden within scriptures.

Lacking proficiency in the text.

The true method would remain out of reach.

The "Taiyin Refining Body Technique" practiced by the two Ban sons and Ban Feifei fell into this category. It was embedded within the "High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book."

Only by thoroughly understanding it.

Could they cultivate it.

Back in the Great Yann World, Chen Jichuan had studied numerous Daoist and Buddhist scriptures.

However, in his new world, while some principles appeared similar, the vocabulary, references, and terms were completely different.

In just three months.

The explanatory Daoist texts available on the market were far from enough. If Chen Jichuan wasn’t prepared to visit a Daoist temple to seek guidance, he’d have to continue studying and building his knowledge base.

Fortunately—

Chen Jichuan had plenty of time.

And so, in the coming days, he continued refining his techniques to enhance his strength, all while poring over other Daoist works to decipher the "High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book" and uncover its true teachings as soon as possible.

When treating patients on routine visits, the income fell short of supporting his cultivation needs.

Chen Jichuan reverted to an old strategy—establishing a Goulan theater.

The Goulan was not a brothel nor a pleasure house! Nor was Chen Jichuan a pimp or madam!!

It was akin to a theater from his previous life.

However, it hosted performances of zaju theater, historical storytelling, Varied Palace Modes, puppet shows, shadow plays, acrobatics, and other types of entertainment. Being from the modern world, Chen Jichuan also introduced performances like crosstalk, storytelling, Beijing opera, mimicry, singing, and dancing.

Popular programs were retained.

Those that didn’t fit local tastes were phased out.

Dai County, previously prosperous,

had over ten theaters of this type in its market area. Most had since failed, leaving only two struggling to hold on.

The decline was due, firstly, to reduced consumer spending power; secondly, the programming had grown stale, failing to captivate audiences.

Chen Jichuan reorganized the theaters.

Drawing inspiration from the Great Yann White Jade City model and integrating the customs, folklore, and anecdotes of Da Liang, he carefully crafted new programs, establishing his own Goulan theater, which quickly rose to fame.

...

Time passed in a blur.

A year went by.

One night, at the third watch.

Chen Jichuan sat cross-legged in his courtyard, bathed in moonlight, calming his mind and meditating.

With every breath,

he resonated with an underlying rhythm.

Faintly, he seemed to perceive a wondrous presence—ethereal, elusive, obscured like mist, impossible to grasp or completely see.

"Could this be—"

"The Divine Soul?"

A sudden thought jolted him. His mind wavered, snapping him out of this state.

He felt utterly drained.

A glance at the nearby hourglass revealed that half an hour had already passed.

"Does this count as achieving the first stage, reaching the ’Meditative State’?" Chen Jichuan murmured in uncertainty. He retrieved the "High Above Moon Palace Taiyin Primordial Lord Filial Immortal King Jinhua Yellow Book" from beneath a stone table in the courtyard.

This scripture’s primary message emphasized cultivating virtues such as loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and prudence to refine one’s disposition and train in internal alchemy, thereby achieving success in the Dao of Alchemy.

Hidden within it,

was the internal alchemy method known as the "Taiyin Refining Body Technique."

If he possessed the full version,

it would include corresponding external alchemy methods and other internal alchemy techniques, along with talismans and spells.

Unfortunately,

the copy in the possession of the two Ban sons was merely a fragment, preserving only the "Taiyin Refining Body Technique" for cultivation. Devoid of supplementary methods and external alchemy aids, it made the practice especially arduous.

Even if mastered,

it offered no magic artifacts, talismans, or spells.

Its benefits were confined to strengthening the Divine Soul, enhancing one’s foundation, and resisting external fiends.

A year had passed in the world of Da Liang,

equivalent to six months for Chen Jichuan.

In the first two months, he painstakingly tackled the scripture word by word, successfully deducing the "Taiyin Refining Body Technique" with the two Ban sons as a reference point.

Over the next four months,

he cultivated every night at midnight, yet achieved no notable breakthroughs.

But tonight—

"The first stage of Daoist cultivation is called ’Meditative State.’ By reciting Daoist scriptures, one suppresses the restless monkey-like distractions of the mind, attaining a clear and undisturbed mental state. This is the ’Meditative State.’ Only upon reaching this stage can one sense their Divine Soul and begin cultivating techniques to strengthen it."

Chen Jichuan compared the scripture against his recent mystical experience.

A smile crept across his face.

As he closed the scripture, a firm conclusion took root in his heart: "I’ve sensed the Divine Soul; I’ve entered the Meditative State!"
