29. The Righteous Spirit Energy and the Demonic Spirit Energy
Su Kexin listened, utterly confused.
“Master, what do you mean?”
“Every person has Yin and Yang Qi within their body, and the Qi of the Righteous Spirit is a manifestation of Yang Qi. Because disciples of the Xuan Yun Sect practice the righteous path, their Yang Qi is more abundant than Yin Qi, and their Qi of the Righteous Spirit is significantly higher than that of ordinary people. Kexin, have you felt irritable and restless lately? Even a burning sensation?”
“Mmm… Yes, ever since returning from Fenghai Forest, I’ve felt an intense heat within my body and my mind has been uneasy.”
“That’s exactly it,” Han Xianzi said gravely. “Your Qi of the Righteous Spirit is too strong, and it’s burning your meridians.”
“Ah, then Master, what should I do??”
Su Kexin panicked, not understanding why her Qi of the Righteous Spirit was so high, causing her heart fire to burn her meridians.
“Go to the pharmacy and ask the herbalist for medicine. Use herbs with cooling properties to balance your Yang Qi. I’m sure your Qi of the Righteous Spirit will soon decrease, and after some rest, you’ll be fine. Kexin, did anything happen in Fenghai Forest?”
“Mmm… I’m not sure, I just killed a few demon beasts and confronted disciples from the Lianmo Sect, then I fainted.”
“If that’s all, it’s unlikely to cause an excess of the Qi of the Righteous Spirit.”
Han Xianzi pondered for a moment but couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.
Typically, male cultivators have higher Qi of the Righteous Spirit than female cultivators. However, Su Kexin, only at the third tier, had stronger Qi than even fifth-tier male cultivators.
She couldn’t understand why, but the high Qi of the Righteous Spirit could explain why Su Kexin’s advancement was so rapid, especially since the Xuan Yun Sect’s techniques rely heavily on it.
“Shu Qin, take her with you. Neutralize the excess Qi of the Righteous Spirit as soon as possible to avoid any lingering effects.”
“Alright, Master.”
Immediately, Liu Shuqin took Su Kexin to the herbalist for medicine, and Su Kexin followed the doctor’s orders to take the medicine and rest.
…
These past few days, Lin Nuo has been questioned about the Fenghai Forest incident, responding with “no comment” to all inquiries. The elders and respected teachers of the sect had no way to deal with him, and retesting his spiritual realm revealed nothing significant.
Lin Nuo had halted his practice of the demonic techniques, as there was no longer any corner of Tianling Mountain where he could secretly cultivate them.
Lin Nuo roughly calculated that it had been nearly a week since he returned from Fenghai Forest.
He remembered the jade pendant he had tampered with. Over the past few days, he observed that Su Kexin continued to wear it as usual.
This was too good to be true. The pendant contained demonic spirit Qi, which, over time, would undoubtedly damage her spiritual meridians and limit her advancement.
You want to cultivate, but just overcoming the demonic spirit Qi is enough of a challenge! How could you possibly succeed!
The demonic spirit Qi would subtly hinder her progress, and by the time she realized it, at least a month would have passed.
A month to limit the protagonist’s advancement was more than enough. As long as she didn’t advance, he could easily defeat her.
Once the Fenghai Forest incident settled down a bit, he would make his move, preparing a wave of actions, securely.
“The Xuan Yun Sect seems to have a library.”
Lin Nuo just remembered this. In his previous life, after becoming a demon, his comprehension improved, and he grew by reading various books without any guidance.
The Xuan Yun Sect’s library was vast and contained countless books. To be honest, he hadn’t really looked at the books concerning the righteous path before becoming a demon, as he had never had the habit of reading.
“Let’s make a trip there.”
…
Xuan Yun Gate, Zi Shu Pavilion.
The grand pavilion housed thousands of books, yet few people were inside.
By the pavilion’s entrance, a desk stood where two flower-like young girls whispered to each other.
“Ke Xin, how are you feeling now? Has the positive spiritual energy been neutralized?”
“Following the pharmacist’s instructions, I’ve taken the medicine and feel much better now, thank you for your concern, Yue Qing.”
“Why are you being so formal with me? But you know, it’s strange, your positive spiritual energy is even stronger than that of a fifth-tier male cultivator. Anyway, it’s good that you’re fine. You’re borrowing these books, right? Let me register them for you, ‘The Yin-Yang Technique’, ‘The Fundamentals of Qi Cultivation’… Hmm, all books on cultivating Qi.”
Zhao Yue Qing was one of the pavilion’s caretakers, though the main authority still lay in the hands of an elder surnamed Zhou. Besides her own cultivation practice, she would also assist the elder in overseeing the pavilion, keeping track of the borrowing and returning of books.
Su Ke Xin sighed softly, “I’ve hit a bottleneck in my cultivation; I hope reading these books will help me find the way.”
Su Ke Xin was still weak in controlling Qi. Although the strong positive spiritual energy had been mostly neutralized after taking the medicine, she worried about facing the same issue in the future and decided to focus on improving her Qi control.
“You’re really diligent. I wish you success, but remember to return them within a month.”
Su Ke Xin was determined; after returning, she would master Qi control and not always rely on her master.
“Ke Xin, look, who is that!”
As Su Ke Xin was about to leave, Zhao Yue Qing grabbed her hand, pointing towards the bookshelves.
There stood a handsome young man, his fingertips grazing the ancient books, his smile gentle, as if engaging in a timeless dialogue with ancient sages.
