Taoist priests in the supernatural world

Chapter 10: Ascending to Immortality Through Disintegration, the Flawless Inner Elixir

In San Francisco, a heartwarming Western-style wedding is taking place between Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang.

The guests were few and far between, mostly Shirley Yang's relatives.

According to them, they plan to hold another wedding after returning to China.

Huang Bai walked up to the two men and handed Hu Bayi a thick envelope.

"Happy wedding! This is a gift for you both. Please open it and take a look."

Hu Bayi opened the envelope and found it was a share transfer agreement. Huang Bai had handed over all the shares of Panda Express to Hu Bayi.

"This...is too valuable."

"Take it, I don't have time to manage Panda Express."

Panda Express's assets were only a million dollars, while he gained hundreds of millions of dollars by recruiting Ying Caihong.

Hu Bayi and his companion exchanged a glance, then called over Fatty.

Half an hour later, Hu Bayi handed Huang Bai a box.

"Let's take it apart and see."

Huang Bai opened the box, inside lay three claw-like objects, all black and translucent, engraved with the two characters "摸金" (meaning "touch gold") in seal script, with gold thread inlaid at the bottom.

This is a tomb raiding talisman made from the claws of a pangolin. It was a token of the tomb raiding unit under Cao Cao during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was made by soaking in wax for forty-nine days and nourishing the earth's veins for eight hundred days. Wearing it can ward off evil spirits.

There were nine of these items in total; the other six have been lost.

In addition, there is a booklet that reads: "The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique".

"We don't need it anymore anyway, so we'll give it to you," Hu Bayi said with a smile.

The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique is only half-written and lacks the ability to arrange formations and regulate Qi, but it can determine the location of auspicious sites. If you encounter certain situations, you can use the ability to determine the location of auspicious sites to get out of trouble.

Thank you.

The greatest gain in this world, besides the spider lily, is this very thing before me.

Three months later.

The suburban estate was heavily guarded.

This is the location of the Global Retreat Center, where Ying Rainbow teaches and preaches.

The believers sat devoutly in meditation, listening to Ying Caihong's sermon on the stage.

"The realms of Yin and Yang, the boundary between life and death, can be seen through my Yin-Yang eyes. Who among you has a wish?" Ying Caihong's amber eyes looked at the crowd.

"Master, it's me!"

"I!"

Everyone eagerly stood up.

Ying Caihong pointed to a white woman in the back row and said, "Who...who do you want to see?"

"Master, I want to speak with my deceased eldest son."

"As you wish."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Caihong's left eye emitted a faint light, and a howling wind faintly came from the void, and a human-shaped shadow gathered in front of the white woman.

"Oh my God."

"Long live the Cult Leader!"

Such a miracle amazed everyone, and the members of the spiritual retreat became even more devout.

In places unseen by them, the central air conditioning vents emitted a faint powdery substance.

After the lecture, Ying Caihong walked to the garden behind the villa.

Deep within the garden, a strange medicinal fragrance wafted faintly.

Dressed in a yellow and white Taoist robe, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the alchemy furnace, using fire to refine elixirs.

"You've arrived?"

"My lord." Ying Caihong bowed respectfully, then lay down next to the alchemy furnace. She lifted her shirt, revealing a huge scar on her lower abdomen, with black mold growing inside.

This is the Golden Toad Subduing Elixir Technique. Huang Bai cultivated the elixir for Ying Caihong according to Xie Yali's method in the original work.

Wow!

Soon, the elixir turned purple, and the pill was ready while it was still hot. Huang Bai used a knife to scoop up the scalding powder and poured it onto Ying Caihong's wound.

"Hmph..." Ying Caihong let out a muffled groan in pain.

"How does it feel?"

"It feels wonderful. My headache is gone, and I still have the ability to manipulate illusions. My eyes seem to be able to see the sins on other people."

Ying Caihong felt the wonderful changes. Since she fell ill, pain had plagued her at all times. Only after seeking refuge with Lord Huang Bai did she have a day of peace.

"However, the doctor said the tumor in my brain is still growing."

"It doesn't matter. The physical body is useless. Once you slay the demon, you can discard the physical body and become an immortal."

The human demon must punish five kinds of sinners through methods such as freezing ice, raging fire, digging out their hearts, pulling out their intestines, and pulling out their tongues. Finally, with the help of others, they can undergo corpse dissolution and ascend to immortality.

"Yes, I understand."

The United States is a gathering place for villains from all over the world, and it has never lacked sinners in this regard.

Ying Caihong looked at the mysterious and unpredictable Huang Bai, whose docile expression concealed an uncontrollable ambition.

After she becomes an immortal, she will definitely subdue Huang Bai and have him refine elixirs for her every day.

She was originally an orphan from the mountainous region of China, but was later adopted by a wealthy Japanese businessman. After reaching adulthood, she turned the tables, seized the businessman's property, and came to America to establish a spiritual society.

This time is no different; she is a wolf that can never be tamed.

"Go down."

Watching Ying Caihong's retreating figure, Huang Bai revealed a strange smile.

The fungus grows in the lower abdomen, around the dantian area, aided by the body's spiritual energy.

Over the next two months, people continued to die in bizarre ways, but it did not cause any stir.

In a dog-eat-dog world like America, police investigations rarely trace back to the wealthy members of the Global Retreat Society.

"My lord, I sense a mysterious power emerging from the earth."

Ying Caihong has developed a strange kind of spiritual vision; even with her eyes closed, she can sense the things around her.

Several days later, the last of the tongue-pulling hells was completed.

The room was dark and the candlelight was dim.

Ying Caihong's face was pale, her skin veins were bulging, her amber eyes shone with a mysterious light, and the surgical scar on her head looked even more ferocious.

The Taoist priest stood with his sword in hand, the candlelight casting an unpredictable shadow on his face.

"Make hand seals and visualize the Five Hells," Huang Bai shouted in a deep voice.

Ying Caihong sat cross-legged, made hand mudras, and visualized the Five Hells.

My body sometimes feels cold, sometimes feels hot, and sometimes has various wounds.

Her body trembled incessantly, showing signs of imminent collapse.

Huang Bai stood before her, his long sword pressed against her throat.

This is the final step—dissection of the body.

To achieve immortality through the liberation of the body, one needs the assistance of others to separate their soul from the body, either by burning (called fire liberation) or by drowning (called water liberation).

This method is currently called "military disintegration".

hum!

The divine sword pierced Ying Caihong's throat, and blood gushed out.

Ying Caihong's physical body began to shrink, her body trembled constantly, and her blood gathered in the black mold in her dantian.

The mold absorbs blood and gradually forms a dark golden bead, which is the inner elixir. The yellow and white ones are called the "Five Ganoderma Inner Elixir".

In the final step of the corpse dissection, the outer elixir of the bead transforms into the inner elixir, then shatters, and the medicinal power is entirely returned to the soul, helping the soul leave the body and ascend.

A green light emanated from Ying Caihong's head, and the green light formed a human face.

"Now is the time!"

At the critical moment, Huang Bai lifted Ying Caihong's clothes, and with a gentle flick of his sword tip, pulled out her inner core from her lower abdomen.

The green face suddenly twisted, bursting forth with a deep-seated hatred. Its eyes, filled with a fierce and desperate rage, stared intently at Huang Bai. "I curse you... to be condemned to eternal damnation in the five hells..."

The sound was sharp and piercing, echoing endlessly in the sealed room.

The green light vanished in an instant.

"This inner core is quite good." Huang Bai smiled without saying a word, holding the warm inner core.

Yes, this is exactly what he wanted: a flawless inner core.
