C5 Initial Appearance of Tao Techniques

Lying on the bed, Lin Jin looked at the ceiling in confusion. The feeling of impulse he felt when he saw Xu Yun sleeping just now was something he had never felt before in his seventeen years of life. He had never cared about the relationship between a man and a woman before, but he couldn't understand what had happened to him just now. It was as if he had the urge to hug her. Moreover, this urge was not something he could control.

What he didn't know was that this was just a normal impulse on the part of a mature man. Even a child would know a bit about a romance novel or a love TV show.

However, Lin Jin never read romance novels or television dramas. It was because he felt that those fake things were too disgusting to watch, especially some Korean dramas. Moreover, he almost never came into contact with his classmates. Otherwise, he would know what was going on from the mouths of those students who liked to gossip.

"No, this feeling makes my emotions fluctuate. It almost affects my cultivation. I can't let this feeling appear again!" Suddenly, Lin Jin suddenly sat up, and muttered.

Very quickly, Lin Jin, who classified that kind of impulse as something harmful to him, made a decision. In the future, for all women that could cause this kind of impulse in him, he would have to stay away from them.

After making his decision, Lin Jin calmed down in an instant. This was also one of his strengths. No matter how big the emotional fluctuations were, he could control them well, allowing him to analyze his surroundings objectively. However, this was also one of his shortcomings. This was because this kind of artificial restraint was not able to completely eliminate his emotions. Instead, it was to deeply suppress these feelings within his mind. When these emotions were accumulated to a certain extent, when he was no longer able to control them, they would instantly erupt. At that time, it would be extremely terrifying.

After thinking it through, he did not go to sleep like he had told Aunt Wang. Instead, he took out a box made of vines from under the bed.

It was a rectangular box that was less than forty centimeters long and ten centimeters tall. The box was weaved densely by tiny vines. These light gray vines made it look inconspicuous, but from how Lin Jin struggled to support it, he could tell that this box was extremely heavy.

The box was made of a buckle and looked very old-fashioned. However, the ring that looked weak was connected to the lid of the box extremely tightly. Even Lin Jin had to transport his zhenqi to push it down with all his might before the ring finally loosened a little.

Open it up and there are three spaces in it. One was a small rectangular space, neatly arranged with a stack of long yellow paper; beside the long space was a slender space that stood side by side with it, inside of which was an ancient calligraphy pen; and above the two long spaces was a small box of vermilion.

In the records of the "Secret Taoist Scripture", Qingmei was a type of spiritual energy that was emitted when an old tree was being struck to death. It was a type of strange spirit formed from the resentment of the ghosts in the graveyard. However, because it was a mixed type of spirit, it did not have many thoughts, and it liked to hide inside the deeply buried ancient grave, so it was generally not harmful to humans.

However, the moment the ancient grave that Qingmei was hiding in was exposed, whether it was humans or animals, Qingmei's own resentment would cause a calamity within a hundred miles. As long as the ancient grave was infected with Qingmei's resentment, no matter if it was people or animals, they would all die from suppuration within three months.

Furthermore, all those who had been infected with the green spirit's venomous resentment had a strange characteristic. It was unlike any other disease, it did not enter the human body through the nose or mouth or skin. Instead, he used the Shenmen Point on his wrist to invade the human body, following the Shaoyin Meridian and going straight to the Indian Hall. First devour the mind, then rot the body. Its appearance was pale, but it did not lack blood. Because of the ghost aura and the spirit of the fight, sometimes green, sometimes white. This was the basis of Lin Jin's judgement that Xu Yun had been poisoned by the Cyan Demon. Later on, when he tried to establish a meridian, it turned out to be true.

Xu Yun was fine up till now, but according to Lin Jin's deduction, she should be the remnant Qi of Qingmei that was accidentally contaminated when he passed by some ancient grave's land. Furthermore, based on the degree of contact, the Qingmei there should have dissipated for dozens of years, if not, she would not have turned pale like this, but the other parts of her body would look no different from an ordinary person's. However, if he let this remnant Cyan Demon poison linger in her body, then under the effects of it, she would lose her spirit day by day. Within ten years, her spirit would dry up and he would turn into a vegetable.

If it were anyone else, regardless of whether it was someone with a high mastery of the Tao, or someone with high medical skills, they would probably feel helpless in the face of Qingmei's sinister attacks. They could only watch as she died. This was because the Cyan Demon Poison was not only a type of resentment or poison, but also a mixture of the two. Thus, it could only be dispelled with a two-pronged attack.

They had met Lin Jin, a guy who just so happened to understand Qingmei's background, was proficient in medical skills, and even had a very good impression of her parents.

As they had to work during the day, Aunt Wang and his wife usually slept very early, and today was no exception.

By midnight, Aunt Wang's family had already slept very soundly, and the majority of the villagers had also gone to sleep early. The night sky was filled with scattered barking of dogs and the occasional sound of car horns coming from the distant road.

When Lin Jin heard their light snores, he knew that he could finally move. He then took the brush and a piece of yellow paper, which were already full of cinnabar, and sneaked to the top of the building like a cat.

It was the beginning of the lunar calendar.

Without the interference of the moonlight, the sky was filled with twinkling stars. The Milky Way was in the center of the sky, sweeping across the horizon like a band of light. Countless stars were shining within.

Under the weak starlight, he walked to the west side of the flat top and used a small stone the size of half a finger to place the yellow paper on top of the fence to suppress it. The fingers of the right hand holding the pen pointed towards the sky, closing his eyes to meditate.

After a long while, Lin Jin suddenly extended his second finger horizontally, the tip of his finger pointing upwards, the rest of his fingers slightly bent inward, forming the [Heaven Wind Technique], a set of obscure incantations sounded out from his mouth.

When the chant started, all the sounds in the surroundings seemed to have been swallowed up by something, and suddenly disappeared. The entire space was filled with sounds of Lin Jin's incantation that he could not understand.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose up into the air, causing his clothes to flutter.

Right at this moment, Lin Jin suddenly opened his eyes, a bright light shone from his eyes, and then disappeared.

Staring at the yellow paper, Lin Jin fiercely blew at it with his zhenqi. The yellow paper was affected by the zhenqi and struggled as if it was alive, causing the small piece of rock that was holding it down to stand in mid air.

Just then, Lin Jin felt the zhenqi in his body started to stir, and like a tide it started to surge towards his right palm. Lin Jin, who already knew the function of this incantation, did not hesitate and immediately placed the zhenqi in his palm into the golden brush.

With his entire focus on the brush, Lin Jin suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, he could faintly feel that other than the majority of the zhenqi s that disappeared into the air, there was also a portion of the mysterious energy that had turned into cinnabar that adhered onto the yellow paper.

In the blink of an eye, his calligraphy brush was completed. The ordinary yellow paper transformed into a Soul Glyphs that contained a mysterious power and floated into Lin Jin's palm.

Before this, even though Lin Jin had painted countless half real and half fake Soul Glyphs for money, this was the first time he had successfully painted a Soul Glyphs. There was no other reason, drawing this rune consumed far too much zhenqi.

In the past when he was drawing this rune, he had deduced that the amount of zhenqi required to draw this rune must have been enormous.

In the past few months, because he had eaten a lot of nourishing herbs, the zhenqi has improved greatly. Although he understood that he could draw now, he did not dare to, because he knew that drawing it required a lot of zhenqi. However, he did not expect it to consume so much energy.

Feeling the emptiness in his body, Lin Jin laughed bitterly: I suffered a huge loss this time.

At the very least, all the talismans that he had drawn before only required a small number of zhenqi s to complete. The feeling just now had allowed him to grasp some of the changes that had occurred after the zhenqi entered the Glyph Paper.

"Unfortunately, the price is too high!" Lin Jin faintly sighed, and decided that this kind of experiment should only be carried out when the zhenqi was strong enough to be extravagant.

This talisman was called the Heavenly Gale, and it played a very strange role. It was not like the other talismans that were used to disperse evil spirits or protect the body, but rather to attract all the evil spirits and yin evil qi s within a radius of five kilometers.

If no one else was prepared to use this rune, then there would only be one result for the user ? the Yin Spirit and Yin Devour that did not rush over.

Lin Jin naturally understood this, and after placing down the runes, Lin Jin walked forward in big steps and laid a fine layer of dust on the flat top according to the position of the Big Dipper. After he was done, he took out a small black jade bottle from his pocket and placed it on the Tianxuan position.

Jade Avoiding Evil, ordinary ghost would not be able to use jade artifacts. Although this small ink jade bottle was not made of much material, after Lin Jin refined it a series of times, it was not inferior to ordinary Daoist tools. That was why he used the small bottle as a container to absorb the green spirit's resentment.

After doing all this, Lin Jin took out a Six Armour Soul Avoiding Rune and stuck it on his body, he then inputted a zhenqi into the pen, and heavily knocked on the Soul Glyphs three times, igniting it.
