Chapter 52: The Three Volumes of the Yellow Court Scripture

  "What's going on? Why can't I see the screen?" At the same time, on the top floor of Jinhai Building, Lin Yuanshan had just finished a phone call in the inner room and walked out with a gloomy face. He happened to see that Wang Chan's figure had disappeared from the surveillance screen, and he suddenly became furious.

  "Reporting to the superior! In the Presidential Suite of Jin Hai Building, only the four surveillance probes in the living room are directly connected to the main control room. The two secret cameras in the bedrooms are pinhole devices, and the startup device is in Liu Lao San's own hands. We have no way to tap."

  Those who can live in the limited presidential suites in Jinhai Building are almost all officials who have great use for Liu Lao San. The intrigues that take place there are naturally carried out in utmost secrecy, especially the "things" that happen in the bedroom, which are not enough to be known by outsiders as "handles". With Liu Lao San's character, he naturally doesn't trust anyone except himself.

  "What bad luck!" Lin Yuanshan scowled heavily and gritted his teeth, asking, "It's been so long since the past, why haven't Gao Lao and the others arrived yet? Use the intercom to notify them. After entering the room, don't say a word. I just want to see Wang Chan's corpse. As for that old Taoist, catch him alive if possible, otherwise kill him too! I really don't know how those people in Beijing do things. In just a few days, they've made the Zhou Lin case spread like wildfire. Now even the Taichang Palace of Mount Lu is daring to intervene. If we wait another two or three days, won't the National Security Bureau come looking for me too!!!"

  Lin Yuanshan, who had just finished the phone call, was obviously very depressed in his heart, and his face was gloomy as if water could drip out.

  At this time, Wang Chan didn't know that he had accidentally forced Zhang Daocheng to retreat into the bedroom on one side of the room, and coincidentally avoided Lin Yuanshan's surveillance. Now his only thought was to get from Zhang Daocheng the secret method of cultivating thunder techniques in Taicheng Temple on Mount Laoshan, so as to enrich his own Xuanlian skills.

  He had just walked out of the deep mountains a few days ago, how could he know the speed of technological development in the outside world? Even if he knew from Lei Xing's materials that Jin Hai Lou was densely covered with surveillance probes, he didn't care at all. The Taoist thunder method cultivation, to be honest, unless it is a master, it is full of terms and jargon that are like passwords, ordinary people listen to it and it is useless, vague and unclear, just like ducks listening to thunder, if you don't get a headache after a long time, it's strange.

  Zhang Daocheng heard Wang Chan's straightforward proposal and couldn't help but let out a sigh, slightly putting his mind at ease. The thunder technique he had cultivated was indeed a secret transmission of Mount Canglang, but compared to the Tian Gang stone in Wang Chan's hand, it was nothing.

  Now, without hiding anything, Wang Chan only asked one question and he clearly explained the secrets of his Thunder Technique from start to finish, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Although the Thunder Technique seems mysterious, it's actually simple to cultivate, with only one oral formula, no more than a thousand words, explaining everything clearly.

  "So that's it, your Thunder Method isn't the authentic Five Thunder Orthodox Method I know of, but rather a solo cultivation technique, Palm Thunder, which has nothing to do with one's life. It can only be practiced, but never mastered for long. No wonder you haven't formed an internal elixir yet and still manage to control it." Upon hearing Zhang Daocheng's explanation, Wang Chan suddenly understood the general idea and couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart.

  Zhang Daocheng's Palm Thunder technique is only the foundation of the Taoist Five Thunders Orthodox Method, and it doesn't even explain the method of embracing the yuan and guarding the one true dan. On the contrary, it requires releasing one's vital energy outward without gathering it inward. If one really practices this, they might as well have wasted their twenty years of hard work.

  "Your Palm Thunder technique has been successful, although its power is not small, but it has lost its foundation. In the end, it cannot cultivate true energy, form elixirs and prolong life. It's just a clever method that relies on trickery. As soon as your body's vital energy is depleted, you'll be old and grey in an instant, nothing but a pile of yellow earth."

  "I'm not ignorant of the fact that cultivating this Palm Heart Thunder is a waste of time, neglecting the fundamentals and missing the crucial point of returning to the elixir. But first, this method is easy to master and can be relied upon; second, do you think it's so simple to cultivate one's nature and destiny? In our Quanzhen School, from ancient times to the present, there are countless disciples and followers, but how many have truly mastered the Five Thunder Orthodox Method? The thunder method is the pivot of heaven and earth, with the greatest power; all things in the three realms and nine lands can be summarized as belonging to thunder. We ordinary people want to practice it, first we must reverse the elixir nine times, achieve the prenatal one energy, and make our body completely free from any impurities. Otherwise, if we stir up the thunder energy carelessly, it will affect the five organs, and we'll be struck by heavenly thunder, reduced to ashes. I'm already over sixty years old, and in my entire life, I haven't been able to form a single true elixir in my belly. Rather than wasting these limited years, I'd rather follow my heart and cultivate this Palm Heart Thunder, which can also transcend the mundane and earn people's respect."

  "Just now, I was opposing you to keep Liu Laosan from finding Zhou Lin and to get the Tian Gang stone from your hands. Who would have thought that fate would play a trick on me and I would offend the 'True God'? Now that I've revealed all of the Lei Fa secret codes, I wonder what you plan to do next?"

  After saying a few words with Wang Chan, Zhang Daocheng's eyes never left Wang Chan's neck, and his mind was also constantly turning over ideas. He also heard from Wang Chan's words earlier that the other party was not very satisfied with his own response, but Tian Gang Shi absolutely could not be lost in the arm, thinking repeatedly and then hurriedly said: "As long as you are willing to hand over Tian Gang Shi to me, no matter what conditions you propose, I will agree, and I dare not have half a sentence of refusal."

  "Do you still want this stone?" Wang Chan frowned and sneered repeatedly: "Your palm thunder is worthless to me, it's harmful to your body even if you practice it. What else do you have that can satisfy me?"

  "Just give me the Tianpeng Stone, and everything can be negotiated!" Zhang Daocheng saw that Wang Chan's face was not looking good, and his heart suddenly became anxious: "I have been practicing this Palm Thunder Technique for 47 years, although it is useless to you, but don't forget that this is just the first step of my Taiqing Palace Thunder Technique, which belongs to the branch and trivial matters. As long as you are willing to exchange, even if I give you the entire Five Thunder Heaven Heart Orthodox Method, I will not be stingy. Moreover, from now on, you and I, Taishan's Taiqing Palace, will be friends, and in the future, no matter what happens, you don't have to show up, we can help you solve it. You should know that many of my disciples are officials who govern the world, and the power of the secular world is not to be underestimated."

  Wang Chan hummed and suddenly asked: "Your innate Xuan Gong Fist, isn't it also a skill from the Five Thunder Law?"

  "Xiantian Xuan Gong Fist?" Zhang Daocheng was taken aback, staring blankly at Wang Chan for a moment before bursting out laughing: "I had forgotten about this thing, I've always been carrying it with me." As he spoke, he suddenly leapt backward and landed in a corner of the room, opening the safe's cabinet door and pulling out a blue cloth pouch that was bulging with contents.

  He then pulled out three volumes of yellowed, thread-bound scriptures from inside and handed them to Wang Chan: "My Quanzhen Sect has always practiced the three teachings together, each guarding its own truth. You want to know the key to the Thunder Rites, I also know why, but as for the Five Thunders Orthodox Method, I haven't practiced it either. If you want to learn it, you'll have to go back to the Taiqing Palace with me first and copy it from the Scripture Pavilion. It's a bit of trouble, and you may not agree. Here, I have three volumes of the 'Huangting Jing', which is what our sect's founder, the Reverend Yang, read every day in the tomb of the living dead on Mount Zhongnan. The content is quite different from the Huangting Jing that is currently circulating outside. It talks about some fundamental methods for cultivating life and nature, with detailed annotations by the Master himself."

  "Even the Xiantian Xuan Gong Quan I practiced all my life was learned from within, its contents vast and profound. It also recorded the method of our Daoist Nine-Turns Refining Elixir, including the Jade Liquid Small Refining Elixir and the Golden Liquid Great Refining Elixir. These are methods that directly point to one's destiny, but unfortunately, I am dull-witted and have spent my days studying diligently, carrying it with me always, yet until today, I still haven't truly succeeded in refining the elixir of Xiantian. I feel ashamed for not living up to my ancestors' kindness."

  As they spoke, Zhang Daocheng's face couldn't help but flush slightly, but more of his gaze was directed at Wang Chan, with a fervent intention in his eyes.
