Chapter 81: Chapter 79: Wulei Rules!
Translator: 549690339
Nait ou Mountain.
A dilapidated temple.
The already neglected temple has now completely turned into ruins.
After all…
Female ghosts can pass through walls, but Xu Yang can’t.
So when the female ghost used the walls to escape, Xu Yang would often choose the most direct method of breaking through the walls.
Given his current level of cultivation, along with the protection of the “Diamond Talisman”, these unreinforced brick walls are no different from tofu to him.
The air was still filled with sulfur smell left by the burning Daoist talisman and a lot of Yin energy.
Xu Yang, holding a hammer, looked disappointed and sighed: “What a pity… I let one of these bastards escape. If she goes out and harms the innocents, wouldn’t it be my fault?”
Ma Long, who acted as the cameraman, had witnessed Xu Yang’s ghost-catching process with his own eyes.
At this moment, he revered Xu Yang as a heavenly being, his eyes filled with admiration, he said, “Old Xu, is it possible… that female ghost won’t dare to do evil in the future?”
Harm people?
Didn’t you see what that female ghost was scared into?
I guess she must be traumatised, let alone coming out to scare others.
Xu Yang gave it a thought, it seemed indeed possible.
He was inspired, so he opened the system attribute panel.
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22 years old
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill
[Martial Arts): Land Flight Skill
[Cultivation Level]: Qi Refining Realm Level 7
[Daoist Artifact]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist Artifact)
[Merit Points]: 6230 points.
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards
After glancing at the number behind the [Merit Points] column, Xu Yang’s mouth curved slightly, he patted Ma Long’s shoulder: “Ma Long, you are indeed my lucky star… Today, I killed three B-level Yin spirits and earned 1.5 million easily. When I get back, I will give you a digital red packet of 888 as a token of gratitude.”
Making money is secondary.
Meeh points are the key!
After Xu Yang had upgraded his cultivation level to the “Qi Refining Realm
Level 7”, he only left 500 merit points. Then, he obtained another 100 points from Liu Shishi and 30 points from Yang Yin, totalling 630 points.
That is, he had obtained a grand sum of 5600 merit points tonight!
It sounds exaggerated, but it’s quite reasonable upon careful calculation.
After all, there were four fierce spirits!
Among them, that “ghost Da Jie”, she alone could provide Xu Yang with 30 points of merit. Together with the “hide-and-seek game” that Xu Yang ingeniously thought of, it directly maxed out the atmosphere, obtaining a great number of merit points!
There are also those “human head lanterns”.
These things are not genuine ghosts, but they are actual “Yin Entity”. Although each one could only provide Xu Yang with 1 merit point and they would only provide 10 points even if they were “transmigrated”. But that’s not a problem, as there were many “human head lamps”.
“What a pity, if that ghost Da Jie was killed together, I could have made an additional 300 merit points.”
Every time he thought of this, Xu Yang felt like cold water was poured on him.
Those you didn’t earn were losses…He understood this principle.
It’s already 3 a.m.
Xu Yang got in the car, took Ma Long, and started to head back the way they came.
On the way, Ma Long was humming happily, still mimicking the “ghost-catching” methods used by Xu Yang today, clearly very excited.
“Old Xu!”
“Can you teach me… I feel like I’m a bit unlucky, I always encounter ghosts. If you could teach me a few tricks, then even if I encounter ghosts again, I can solve them myself?”
Xu Yang glanced at Ma Long.
In his heart…mourning!
Buddy, is it possible that the reason you often bump into ghosts is not only because you are unlucky?
As for Ma Long’s request to learn a few tricks, Xu Yang refused it without a second thought.
Ma Long has a “pure Yin body”, which means he can’t practice Daoist skills and martial arts. If he doesn’t practice, then it’s fine, but once he does and succeeds, he might get possessed and die instantly.
Ma Long had no particular emotions about Xu Yang’s refusal. He had a “I knew it” look, and said, “I knew that your Daoist skills must be extremely high… Is it like in the TV shows, you’ve made oaths and can’t pass them on to others?”
“Pretty much.”
Xu Yang replied ambiguously: “In short, the Daoist skills I learned cannot be passed on to you… but since you want to practice, it’s not impossible. Wait for a few days, I will find a Daoist Art for you.”
Suddenly.
The two returned to the city.
Xu Yang drove Ma Long back home first before returning to the funeral shop.
On the second floor of the funeral shop.
Yang Yin and Liu Shishi were no longer watching dramas, but were holding their phones, scrolling through short videos, and occasionally, bursts of laughter like silver bells could be heard.
They are ghosts and do not need to sleep.
Before they were bored and had nothing to do, they could only hug the TV and chase dramas. Now that they have a new form of entertainment, Xu Yang was afraid that they would indulge in it for twenty-four hours a day. He immediately stepped forward and said, “Yang Yin, Shishi… Let’s not stay at home all day. When we have time, let’s go out and walk more.”
“Okay, Master Xu.
Yang Yin was very obedient and put her phone away.
Liu Shishi, on the other hand, glanced at Xu Yang with an expression of “caring for the mentally challenged”, and calmly said: “We are ghosts. If we don’t stay at home, should we go out and scare people?”
Xu Yang: “This…”
It seemed to make a lot of sense.
After bathing, Xu Yang came to his bedroom, crossed his legs, and started cultivating.
“System!”
“Add points!”
“Ding!”
“Merit Points – 3000.
In his mind, the system prompt sounded, followed by a sudden surge of mana within him. Xu Yang’s body trembled, his aura released, and he broke through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
Yang Yin and Liu Shishi sensed the aura of Xu Yang’s breakthrough, reacting with surprise.
Feeling his own level of cultivation, it was just about the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. If broken down further… it would be similar to the early stage of the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
“Taking into account the few hundred merit points spent last time, I used nearly 3500 points to break through from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm… I’m afraid it will take at least 5000 points to break through to the Ninth Layer.”
“Breaking through to the perfection of the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm will require even more merit points!”
After calculating, Xu Yang startled: “Indeed, cultivating a Dao is difficult… I have to continue working hard.”
He glanced at the system panel, there were 3230 merit points left.
Xu Yang spent another 1230 merit points to convert it into mana to stabilize his cultivation level.
In an instant, his aura surged again.
If one could say that he had barely entered the “early stages of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining Realm”, now he was solidly in the “middle stages of the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining Realm”.
“Incredible!”
“My current level of cultivation is about three times stronger than an hour ago… My strength has greatly increased. The power of the Golden Light Mantra or the Daoist talismans I create will also greatly increase!”
Xu Yang felt a bit inflated.
He felt that he could single-handedly take on “a person in red” now.
He then turned his gaze back to the system attribute panel.
Sure enough…at the bottom of the system attribute panel, another golden “gift bag” was lit up in the “Achievement Gift Pack” section.
The first “gift bag”, was lit up when Xu Yang accumulated “1000 merit points”.
The second requirement was to accumulate “10000 merit points” to light it up, which Xu Yang had met.
“Ding!”
“Would you like to open the 10000 Achievement Gift Pack?”
[Yes] or [No]?
A string of text flashed on the system screen.
With a thought, the golden gift bag opened, and immediately gold light gushed from the opening. In Xu Yang’s mind, the system prompt rang out
“Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Daoist Art: Wulei Rules.”
In an instant, a massive amount of information poured into his mind. He closed his eyes to comprehend, feeling excited!
Rules of Thunder!
These are the rightful method of the Daoist School!
The most famous ones include the “Zhengyi Thunder Skills” of Dragon Tiger Mountain, as well as “Qingwei Thunder Skills”, and “Shenxiao Thunder Skills”.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Dragon Tiger Mountain. It is the Daoist tradition passed down by the Ancestor of Zhengyi Sect, “Zhang Daoling, the Celestial Master Zhang”. It has a history of over 2000 years and remains the number one among Da Xia’s Daoist schools to this day!
As for Qingwei Sect and Shenxiao Dao, they thrived during the “Song Dynasty”. Over time, as cultivation declined, their lineages were gradually lost.
“Divine Master Chong’en” Sa Shoujian, one of the four Great Heavenly Masters, once stated in his “Thunder Explanation” —
The Rules of Thunder are the way of the innate. The Thunder God is within us. With Qi merged with Qi, and spirit merged with spirit, the Qi of our own five organs transformed into the five thunder spirits. It combined with the spirit of the void into one. With it we can move heaven and earth, shake mountains and rivers, control dragons and tigers in plain sight, seize ghosts and gods in the dark, reanimate decayed bodies, escape life and death, stabilize countries and families, and avert disasters in a small scale!
Here in Jingming Sect, the lineage is passed down from Divine Master Miaoji, Master Xu Xun.
Within the Jingming Sect lineage, there is also a branch of Rules of Thunder, known as “Primordial Medical Thunder Skill”, also referred to as the “Rule of Nine Heavens Yingyuan Wulei”. However, it is not recorded in the “Divine Ascension Scripture”.
Unexpectedly…
Opening a big gift bag, he actually received it. One can imagine Xu Yang’s excitement!
“The thunderbolt is the axle of heaven and earth.”
H
From the east comes three, from the south two, from the north one, from the west four, these are the ancestors of large numbers, while the five at the center, these are the thunderbolts.”
“The so-called five thunders, originate from the five organs: the liver is the eastern soul of wood, the lung is the western spirit of gold, the heart is the southern spirit of fire, the kidney is the northern essence of water, and the spleen is the central earth.”
“The Qi of the heart is pure Yang, controls fire, the Qi of the lung is lesser Yin, controls gold, the Qi of the liver is lesser Yin, controls wood, the Qi of the kidney is pure Yin, controls water, the Qi of the spleen regulates Yin and Yang, controls earth…when the five Qis are gathered into one, the five thunder rules can be formed!”
After contemplating for a moment, Xu Yang gradually opened his eyes, looking puzzled.
This…
What does it mean?
The method of practicing the Five Thunder Rules was directly obtained from the “system”, and the system even dumped it into his memory. But the key point is… each character of this practice method is recognizable when separate.
But when combined, he didn’t know how to practice, right?
He understood Qi.
In Daoism, Qi is the original basis of the birth of the universe, nature and all things, and the most basic energy that sustains the continuation of the universe and all things. It is a never-ending flow of energy, or in simpler terms, it can be regarded as “mana”, or “primordial energy”.
“Sigh!”
It seems advanced Daoist arts aren’t something you can master overnight…”
Xu Yang glanced at the attribute panel.
Under the (Daoist Arts] section, he indeed saw the four characters “Wulei
Rules” had appeared and a small”+” sign at the end. He muttered
“System!”
“Wulei Rules, add points to it!”
