Senior Brother, yes you're right! - Chapter 4: What!? What are you talking about!?

Song Yin had not yet had the chance to feel the changes in his body when he saw the scene before him. Startled, he leaped up and helped Jin Guang, who had just fallen to the ground.

“Master! Master, what’s wrong with you?”

Faced with Song Yin’s concern, Jin Guang just murmured, “My pill, my precious pill.”

“Master,” Song Yin was touched; seeing how much his master cherished the precious medicine, it was indeed valuable.

“Master, the pill is done. Look at me, I am the best treasure pill!” Song Yin tried to comfort him.

He would have been better off not saying that because as soon as he did, Jin Guang spat out another mouthful of blood.

He opened his eyes full of ferocity and then quickly closed them again. He had no choice but to close them because this guy’s eyes were like the sun, so bright he couldn’t keep his eyes open.

He turned his head away and opened his eyes in a different direction, and at the same time, the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His five fingers clenched, and a dark light emanated from them, making the hand appear even more withered. His nails extended and almost looked like a witch’s claw.

“Die!” Jin Guang’s eyes were fierce, his face vicious. His claw aimed directly at Song Yin’s head.

Song Yin was caught off guard. The claw was about to touch his forehead, but before it could, Jin Guang let out a painful howl. His claw emitted green smoke and blistered as if it had been burned.

“Master?” Song Yin was stunned.

Jin Guang did not respond but he jumped away from his original position. Before he landed, he clasped his hands to form a seal. His hair moved without wind, and he chanted a spell. As he landed heavily, three dark flames formed above his head and shoulders, and they attacked Song Yin again.

Three Corpses Transforming God Fire!

Song Yin frowned slightly, but then a look of realization crossed his face. He stood there, unmoving, as the flames approached. Suddenly, his body released a surge of white energy, and the three green flames melted and evaporated as if they had encountered water.

“Master, then please teach me more!”

Song Yin exhaled a breath of white energy, and his footsteps made a heavy muffled sound.

Boom!

The sound caused Jin Guang opposite him to tremble with a look of shock on his face. He flicked his two fingers and pointed at Song Yin, “Freeze!”

Whoosh!

Song Yin moved as if in a flash, trailing a stream of white flames as he appeared before Jin Guang. With a crisp crack, his fist clenched, and as he raised it, a gust of wind swept up the scattered broken pieces of the pill furnace and the old medicine rack and sent them flying chaotically around the pill room.

In Jin Guang’s eyes, Song Yin’s fist was like the blazing sun. Before the fist even got close, the thick white aura already burned his whole body. He couldn’t help but let out a strange cry as a gray-green aura came out from him.

At this moment, his eyes turned blood red and bulged out, the lower half of his face extended forward and two huge and sharp teeth appeared on his mouth as he fled like a rat.

Song Yin reacted swiftly and stretched out his hand to grab him.

Rip!

Jin Guang’s robe was ripped off like a piece of rag by Song Yin, while the gray-green figure darted to the side hall’s door.

“Master!!”

A voice, as deep and powerful as a great bell, suddenly rang out, stopping the gray figure in its tracks. The gray-green layer dispersed instantly with the sound of the shout, and at that moment, Jin Guang’s bloodshot eyes cleared up, his rodent-like appearance returning to a normal human form.

Song Yin retracted his white aura, bowed deeply, and said, “Thank you, Master. If I have offended you, please forgive me!”

Jin Guang, standing before them, remained silent.

Song Yin curiously raised his head, only to see Jin Guang facing away from him, huddled in a corner. His white-clad body seemed to tremble slightly.

Was Master trembling? Was he afraid? That seemed impossible; how could Master be afraid?

Then…

Song Yin glanced at the torn robe on the ground. Among the pile of tattered clothes, there was a book lying alone, which made Song Yin’s eyes brighten.

It was none other than the “Golden Immortal Grand Pill Sutra”!

This meant…

“So that’s it! Thank you, Master, for passing down your legacy and true teachings!” Song Yin’s voice was filled with excitement. “I will certainly not disappoint you, Master!”

At this moment, Jin Guang finally managed to stabilize his mind. He suppressed his trembling and turned his head but didn’t dare to look at Song Yin’s eyes. He just asked cautiously: “What, what do you mean?”

“Hehe, Master wants to test me, huh?”

Song Yin chuckled, “Master suddenly attacked to test the effect of this Flawless True Body. You let me tear off your robe during the fight and even left behind this book. This shows that you want me to inherit your legacy and true teachings!”

“Ah?” Jin Guang was a bit dazed.

“Hmm?” Song Yin raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice, “Am I wrong, Master?”

Jin Guang shuddered and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes!”

He forced a smile, “You are very perceptive, my disciple. Without me saying anything, you guessed my intentions. Yes, I wanted to test the effectiveness of your Flawless True Body!”

Song Yin looked proud.

Song Yin was extremely perceptive!

From his master’s reaction, he could tell that the Flawless True Body must belong to a realm of legend; otherwise, his master wouldn’t have lost his composure like that earlier.

The Innate Realm and the Flawless True Body were both personally taught by his master. However, judging from his master’s reaction, it seemed he had never seen either of them, and his responses to the two were completely different.

His master was merely surprised by the Innate Realm, indicating that it was still within reach.

But the Flawless True Body almost made his master act like a maniac. So this body must be from the realm of the legends.

Only someone with the potential to become a great immortal like him could cultivate it!

Otherwise, why would his master pass down his legacy?

“Disciple, may I leave now?” Jin Guang asked cautiously.

Song Yin furrowed his brow, “Master, you’ve just passed down your legacy to me. I haven’t yet cultivated the techniques and have many questions. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“I…”

Jin Guang gritted his teeth and stuck to the corner without moving. He really didn’t dare to move. That punch earlier nearly scared his soul away.

He didn’t want to find out what it was. He just wanted to get far away from here, far away from this monster!

Song Yin frowned and said nothing, but the suspicion in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

Jin Guang’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly changed the subject, “Disciple, you’ve torn my robe. Of course, I need to change it, but since you still have many questions, I’ll stay longer. Also, I’m very curious about your Flawless True Body. How did you cultivate it?”

Song Yin looked enlightened, thought for a moment, and said, “Master, I followed the formula you gave me. The human body contains a great medicine that can achieve the Great Dao. It’s like treating the body as medicine for refining, right? The herbs you gave me were for absorption. I figured I would absorb the herbs and then treat myself as a pill for refining, and it worked.”

“That’s it?” Jin Guang was dumbfounded.

“That’s it.”

Song Yin nodded, then thought for a bit more and added, “This Flawless True Body, I figured it’s about not leaking anything. Master, cultivating immortality and refining Qi surely requires Qi, but Qi tends to dissipate, right? The Flawless True Body wouldn’t let the Qi dissipate in the first place.”

Wouldn’t that mean skipping the first stage of Qi refinement, “Guarding Clumsiness”?

The nine stages of Qi refinement are: Guarding Clumsiness, Solidifying the Essence, Battle Strength, Entering Skill, Using Wisdom, Connecting to the Dark, Concretization, sitting in meditation, and Entering Divinity.

Each stage manifests differently, and the first stage, Guarding Clumsiness, focuses on initial Qi refinement while preventing dissipation, hence the name “Guarding Clumsiness.”

If there’s no dissipation, then it directly advances to the second stage, Solidifying the Essence.

But Song Yin hasn’t even started refining Qi yet. Not to mention he didn’t have any Qi to refine; even if he could refine Qi, he’d only be at the second stage, Solidifying the Essence. Even if he combined it with his strange “Innate Realm,” he shouldn’t be Jin Guang’s opponent.

Before entering the pill furnace, although Song Yin could easily defeat Jin Guang’s eldest disciple, the differences within the same stage of Qi refinement are greater than the differences between man and dog, let alone compared to Jin Guang.

No matter how strong Song Yin was, Jin Guang should’ve been able to handle him.

But the reality was different.

The reality was that he was even more wretched than a dog being chased away!

“Is the Flawless True Body just this?” This made Jin Guang curious.

Song Yin shook his head and said, “Of course not. This is the Flawless True Body that Master has longed to see but never has. Only someone with my extraordinary potential could cultivate it. I figured that with such a complex method of refinement, the Flawless True Body must be able to ward off all evil, be impervious to all magic, indestructible as a vajra, and have piercing eyes like fire, all to live up to the precious herbs and high expectations Master has for me!”

What!

What are you talking about?

Jin Guang clenched his fist. He felt like he understood it and yet didn’t.

He swore to the Four Great Heavenly Kings that the Flawless True Body was just a lie, and the refining method was also a lie. There was no such thing as a Flawless True Body in the whole world.

Even if Qingbao Tianzun, the master of endless transformations and divine powers, came down to the world in person, he couldn’t create one from his random nonsense, right?

Besides, he didn’t believe in Qingbao; he believed in Hunyuan!

Moreover, these words were not only said to Song Yin, and he was not the only one who believed them, so how could something go wrong?

How did..?

He actually cultivated it for real!??????
