Chapter 39: Supreme Yin Profound Light

“The Moon Lake Autumn Reflection Technique, once a revered technique passed down from the immortal mansion, is quite extraordinary. It requires two distinct types of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. One is known as the Supreme Yin Moonlight, and the other is the Golden Autumn In Lake. Our sect possesses some reserves of the latter, but the Supreme Yin Moonlight hasn’t been seen since the immortal mansion withdrew from the world centuries ago.”

“The Peak Master of Moon Lake Peak managed to successfully attain the mastery of this technique several hundred years ago after he had fortuitously received a reward from the immortal mansion. Since his passing, no one else has managed to attain mastery of the technique.”

Li Chejing was familiar with the legends surrounding the immortal mansion. It was a colossal entity spanning several states, now absent from the world for centuries.

He sighed softly, then nodded in understanding and said, “I see. Thank you for clarifying that, Senior Brother!”

Lu Jiangxian’s divine sense expanded from the mirror, observing the child practicing the Reception Method.

A faint white light hovered above the boy’s head, approximately seven cun[1] in length, glowing ever so slightly.

“This child’s affinity with the Profound Pearl Talisman Seed seems promising. Yet, it remains a mystery how skillful he will be in cultivation.”

As Lu Jiangxian withdrew his divine sense from Li Xuanxuan, he felt his heart flutter with excitement. His vision blurred momentarily, but he thought he saw a pure white jade-like disk floating before him.

“Li Chejing, that boy... He has condensed the Jade Capital Chakra!”

A surge of profound energy traveled vast distances, connecting through the Profound Pearl Talisman Seeds. It gently alighted upon the bluish-gray mirror on the stone platform.

Lu Jiangxian felt a profound lightness in his divine soul, accompanied by a pristine white stream of light.

When Li Tongya and Li Xiangping made their breakthroughs, a minuscule amount of energy was channeled back into Lu Jiangxian’s mirror.

With Li Chejing’s successive breakthroughs, particularly with the Jade Capital Chakra, Lu Jiangxian was finally able to condense the Supreme Yin Profound Light.

“This Profound Light possesses the force of a single, concentrated strike of a Jade Capital Chakra cultivator in peak condition. Yet, its attack range is so vast it exceeds the current reach of my divine sense.”

Upon attaining the mastery of this Profound Light, Lu Jiangxian’s divine sense had expanded to encompass the entirety of Lijing Village.

In that moment of exhilaration, the mirror grew warm and he could sense a faint pull from somewhere.

Why is a Jade Capital Chakra cultivator wandering around here? The Li Family must be alerted at once, he thought to himself with concern.

He willed a silvery-white moonlight to gush out from the mirror, forming white silk threads in the air.

This phenomenon caught Li Tongya and the others off guard. They exchanged puzzled looks as the silver light continued to gather in the air.

Li Mutian narrowed his eyes and advised calmly, “Keep calm and take a good look at it first.”

“It appears to be a map of the Li Family’s territory,” Li Tongya remarked, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

As they watched, the moonlight transformed into a luminous white map, detailing Lichuankou, Lidaokou Village, and Jingyang Village. Notably, the mark representing Lichuankou Village on the map emitted a flashing silver light.

“Lichuankou Village?” Li Xiangping murmured to himself.

————

Over the past few years, Chen Erniu had grown into his managing role at Li Chuankou Village. He had put on considerable weight and grown a beard on his chin. Because of this, he no longer looked like a mere farmer.

After a day spent settling field accounts and resolving a quarrel over fields between two brothers, Chen Erniu lay on his bed contently and began contemplating the plan for the next day.

“The plots to the east of the village are still fertile. Tomorrow, I’ll send some folks to cultivate them and expand our landholdings a bit more.”

Lichuankou Village and Lidaokou Village, while adjacent, lacked the clear administrative division that separated Lijing Village and Jingyang Village. This meant Chen Erniu, as the manager, often had to negotiate and reason through every issue concerning these two villages.

Xu Wenshan’s recent push to open a trade route had hit a wall. The Wan Family’s near loss of the Guli Road to the Ji Family had blocked eastern access, leaving Xu Wenshan frustrated and increasingly combative in recent months, much to Chen Erniu’s annoyance.

“What a headache.”

While Chen Erniu was lost in his thoughts, a commotion outside startled him.

His eldest son burst in with his face flushed with panic, blurting out, “Father, this is terrible! Someone died at the village entrance!”

Chen Erniu leaped from his bed and shouted, “What?”

1. Cun is Chinese inches, so one cun = 3.333 cm. ☜
