Chapter 9: Refining the Array

  Left Giant Tree Fort and returned all the way back to his own temporary dwelling in the canyon.

  This canyon is very secluded and has natural mist, making it difficult for ordinary people to find.

  In the canyon, there is a natural limestone cave hidden under the leaves of wild banana trees, which can be called a wonderful hiding place.

  Before refining the array, one must nourish their spirit and conserve their sharpness. Although Chen Yuan seemed to be in good spirits, after several consecutive days of fighting, he was extremely exhausted. Therefore, before refining the array, he had to get a good rest.

  They first roasted and ate the wild rabbit they had caught, then Chen Yuan lay down in the cave and fell asleep.

  Waking up from a dream, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

  Chen Yuan walked out of the cave and sat cross-legged on a rock.

  A silver snake pattern appeared between his eyebrows, and as he urged his technique, it moved around Chen Yuanzhou's body. Before long, it emerged from the baihui point and transformed into a young snake the size of an infant's arm, coiling around the top of his head and swallowing the moon with its open mouth.

  The moon's essence enters the body, first tempering the entire self.

  Chen Yuan's pores open and close, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, expelling waste from within.

  Yin Yang Lian Yao Shen Gong is by no means a simple cultivation method or demon-refining technique.

  Also tempering the body's magic trick.

  The human body is extremely mysterious, and the actual cultivation period involves refining the physical body. It emphasizes using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine the body, and through ordinary practices, it refines the fleshly body until it becomes solid and can break through, entering the formal refinement stage of Qi.

  The Yin and Yang Cultivation of the Demon God Technique is divided into five realms: Yuan Chu, Yuan Huan, Tai Shi, Tong Tian, and Zao Hua. The first realm, Yuan Chu Realm, also cultivates the physical body, but unlike ordinary techniques, it not only solidifies the body but also cultivates the internal organs, making them strong and compact.

  Yang energy refines the body, yin energy refines the organs.

  Again transform yin qi to refine the body, yang qi to refine the viscera.

  Finally refined into the primordial yin-yang body, the flesh is harder than anything else, even a flying sword can be withstood.

  Chen Yuan's cultivation speed has increased since he started cultivating, but he is still stuck in the middle stage of solid cultivation due to his physical body. Now that the yin energy has begun to refine his body, he will soon enter the later stage of solid cultivation.

  Due to the Nine Profound Heavenly Snake's origin, Chen Yuan absorbed the moonlight quickly. Therefore, every night he only needed to swallow two hours of moonlight and could catch up with the daytime absorption of solar yang energy. Yin-yang dual cultivation emphasizes balance; if unbalanced, it would trigger various problems - mild cases would lead to demonic possession, while severe cases would result in explosion and death. Unless one reaches the Yuan Huan realm, where they can convert yin into yang and yang into yin, and self-regulate the dual energies of yin and yang.

  Chen Yuan did not dare to be greedy and stopped when he was full every day.

  When his body's yin and yang energies had merged in harmony, he opened his eyes.

  The silver snake on his forehead instantly retracted into his body, a flash of silver light flickered, and once again transformed into the seal between his eyebrows. The silver snake became even more agile, twisting and spiraling around his body, forming an ancient divine script.

  Chen Yuan temporarily did not recognize this character, but he could feel that if he studied it thoroughly, he would be able to comprehend a magical technique.

  "It's been refined!"

  After resting, I'm full of energy and everything is at its peak.

  Chen Yuanqiu's method of movement refers to leading and moving the spiritual energy.

  Successive seals, striking out the mysterious and extraordinary handprint, the spiritual energy of all directions is instantly drawn in. Among the five elements, metal, water, and earth spirits retreat and disperse, leaving only wood and fire, entwining around the body.

  A mental image appears, taking thirty wooden crystals, gathering the true energy, and striking to shatter. In an instant, the wooden spirit fills the body. Taking the Soul Refining Plate, forming a strong wooden seal, pouring all the wooden spirit into it.

  White Refining Soul Disk, absorbing the spiritual energy of wood, instantly turns green.

  "Seal!" Chen Yuan's energy condensed, his five fingers fell, sealing the Soul Refining Disk.

  "Whoosh!" With a flurry of movements, quick and complex, Chen Yuan was after all practicing the array for the first time, and couldn't help but feel tense. After taking a deep breath, all hesitation in his eyes dispersed, and with another wave of his hand, one hundred pieces of Fire-attribute First-grade Demon Soul Crystal were retrieved.

  "Flame spirits, listen to my command, follow my divine will, transform!"

  Incantation activated, true energy erupts.

  In an instant, all hundred pieces of Fire Crystal shattered, and a red flame spirit burst forth.

  Chen Yuan felt as if he was in a furnace, with an unbearable heat.

  But he didn't have the strength to resist the heat wave of the fire, and could only grit his teeth and endure the pain of the fire spirit's energy burning his body. The hand seals continued, transforming the power of the hundred blocks of fire crystal into ten fire snakes, each one pouring into the Soul Refining Pan.

  "Second seal!"

  After injecting the fire snake, Chen Yuan sealed the seal again and sealed the refining soul disk that had turned from green to red.

  After finishing, Chen Yun's whole body was crimson red, his lips were pale white, not only was his body dehydrated, but he also lacked true energy.

  "Is it really too hard to cultivate the Array of True Reality? However, I won't admit defeat."

  Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and let out a low, angry roar.

  Third-level wind crystal extracted, gathering all strength in one grasp.

  Bang!

  The crystal stone shattered, and the power of the wind burst forth like a swirling storm blade. In an instant, Chen Yuan's right sleeve was torn apart, revealing streaks of fresh blood on his skin.

  "The spirit of the wind, listen to my command, follow my divine will, transform!"

  With a sudden change, the wind spirit energy in Chen Yuan's hand burst out violently, and the huge gust of wind blew away sand and rocks. Chen Yuan's body retreated slightly, but he stomped his foot fiercely, like an old tree taking root, and forcibly stood firm.

  The bursting wind aura in his hands slowly transformed into a spinning windmill, and was once again pulled into the Soul Refining Disk.

  Hoo... Hoo... Hoo...

  Breathless and exhausted, his whole body was covered in sweat and blood.

  This round of refining is even more perilous than fighting for one's life against a demonic beast.

  "It's the final step!" Chen Yuan let out a low shout, and the remaining crystal stones all floated up, both fire and wood were present. With a loud "boom", the earth was shattered, and at the center of the explosion, Chen Yuan had already spat out fresh blood, but he still crazily formed hand seals, extracting the last bit of yin-yang energy from his body.

  "Yin and Yang as the core, Feng Ling as the heart, Fire and Wood as the wheels, Ashen Array... Complete!"

  With one sound, the spiritual energy surged into the Soul Refining Array, and in an instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

  Only when the Soul Refining Disk is suspended in front of me, merging into the Ashen Array, red light flashes and green light sparkles, constantly exchanging and flickering.

  Chen Yuan stared intently at the Soul Refining Disk, time passing with each heartbeat.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Finally...

  A burst of crimson and green light exploded, and a red dragon rose from the Soul Refining Disk, coiling around the emerald forest.

  "Aaaaah!" He threw his head back and let out a long howl, fierce flames shooting up into the sky.

  "It's done!" At this moment, Chen Yuan finally put down the hanging heart, without the excitement of success, only a plain response, and then fell powerlessly among the rocks, looking at the ashes dragon's complacent show-off.

  After half a cup of tea, Red Dragon Green Forest returned to the Soul Refining Disk.

  Chen Yuan absorbed the moonlight and recovered a bit of his true energy.

  Instantly seal and collect the array: "Collect!"

  The law points to a single point, the red and green colors on the soul-refining disc fade away, the original white color of the soul-refining disc turns into ink black after refinement, but there is a faint flash of crimson in the disc, revealing its extraordinary nature.

  Chen Yuan put away the Soul Refining Disk into his sleeve pouch, and finally didn't have to feel helpless against the impending demonic tide three days later.

  "Zhu Changrong, Yu Xiancai, you two harmed me by making me swallow the Soul-Beckoning Grass, but unexpectedly, this led to my obtaining the good fortune of the Jade Tablet. However, your intentions were sinister and malicious, wanting to use me as bait to attract the demonic tide's attack. Now that my array is complete, I will make you two pay a price first." Chen Yuan's eyes were icy cold, and for the demonic tide three days later, he already had a place to face it.

  Bai Xiao Zhuang Medicine Garden, the painstakingly managed enterprise of Zhu Changrong!
