Chapter 919 - 273: Yellow Springs Guide (Part 2)
Chen Yan chuckled and waved his hand: "It’s alright, you keep your word and abide by the principles, I will only think higher of you, why would I blame you?"
Then the old Taoist restrained his smile and recited the mantra of the last spell he used against the old ghost of the Li Family.
After focusing with a solemn expression, Chen Yan nodded and said: "Thus today there is nothing more, you may return, and in these days you can carefully organize the cultivation technique inheritance of your lineage. Next time I summon you, I will record it for you."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"
After the old Taoist bowed, he returned to the Li Huo Candle.
Chen Yan sat quietly in the room, repeatedly savoring the divine technique the old Taoist had just revealed.
This spell has an odd name, called "Yellow Springs Guide."
With one slash, it shatters the person’s mind, allowing them to cut away the deepest obsession, the ones they cannot let go of, that is most entrenched in their heart!
This is a type of spiritual attack spell.
Speaking of it, it seems its destructive power isn’t really great.
Yet that old ghost of the Li Family happened to be a being with a shattered body, relying on his obsession to control Evil Qi cultivation.
So this spell, which directly attacks the mind and cuts down obsession, became a fatal poison to him.
However...
"This move seems better suited as a cultivation aid." The more Chen Yan thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Slash away obsession.
Cut down Heart Demon!
If there are distracting thoughts or Heart Demons in the heart, come with one slash!
With one slash, the mind clears!

In the following days, Chen Yan simply stayed in the hotel without leaving.
He tried practicing the "God-Hosting Chapter."
That night, he suppressed his Divine Sense and Primordial Spirit, using the method from the God-Hosting Chapter, he actually sliced a thread of his Primordial Spirit off!
This thread of Divine Sense he separated out was entangled around his fingertip, just like a strand of hair.
Chen Yan focused on the thread of Primordial Spirit he had separated, feeling an unusual sensation.
This thing had clearly left his body, yet looking at it with his eyes, it felt as if it was still connected to his own spirit, as if part of his body!
But at the moment, Chen Yan didn’t dare to lose focus, took a deep breath, and walked to the window side.
Here was a small glass box containing several ants crawling around inside, all of which Chen Yan had caught from the flower beds downstairs during the day.
Chen Yan tried to inject a thread of Primordial Spirit into one of the ants, according to the hosting method.
Soon, with a buzz, the thread of Primordial Spirit contacted a robust ant and suddenly merged into it!
The thread of Primordial Spirit instantly seemed to sever the connection with his main body!
However, Chen Yan noticed that the robust ant suddenly climbed to the edge of the glass box, adhered to the side without moving, just quietly lying there facing him.
"It has a soul, recognizes me, knows who you are?" Chen Yan stared at the ant and suddenly spoke: "If you hear me, move."
The ant immediately circled around twice and returned to its original place.
Chen Yan was overjoyed!
Success!!
He pointed at the ant and slowly said: "I am the main self, you are my clone, I am you, and you are me.
Now, go experience your life as an ant, live freely and joyfully! When the day comes for return, we will naturally be able to merge again."
After saying this, Chen Yan opened the window and placed the box outside the sill.
The ant in the box immediately crawled out, down the wall, and headed downstairs...

These days, Chen Yan would release the old Taoist from the Li Huo Candle for an hour and a half every day.
Then, with the paper and pen already prepared, the old Taoist would dictate, and Chen Yan would transcribe, writing down the cultivation technique and several divine techniques from the old Taoist’s lineage.
The old Taoist clearly explained that apart from asking Chen Yan to help find a successor, these cultivation techniques and spells are also given to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan wasn’t greedy for others’ cultivation techniques—his own practiced Primordial Qi Transport Technique is of a Venerable Level, far superior to the Primordial Qi Transport method of the old Taoist’s lineage.
However, spells are always welcome.
Especially since the old Taoist’s lineage has a few talisman arts unknown to Chen Yan, adding new methods to his repertoire.
Whenever Chen Yan encountered anything unclear during transcription, he asked the old Taoist to clarify.
The old Taoist, although of average talent, was over a hundred years old and had cultivated to the Second Realm.
He had mastered his lineage’s cultivation techniques and spells to perfection, but was constrained by talent and environment, unable to step into the Third Realm.
Thus, one speaks, one copies, one teaches, one learns.
In just three to four days, the transcription of the old Taoist’s lineage was completed, and Chen Yan also learned three or four new spells—though their difficulty was not high and their destructive power was ordinary.
However, what pleased Chen Yan was that the old Taoist’s lineage surprisingly passed down a set of swordsmanship!
More precisely, it is a kind of "Magic Sword Technique."
Without moves, not that kind of martial arts. Nor is it Flying Sword technique.
But it can attach spells to a blade.
Considered to achieve temporary "enchantment" effects.
Previously, when Chen Yan fought against the old ghost of the Li Family, he placed the Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman on the sword’s edge. But that wasn’t truly enchantment.
It was merely using the burning talisman paper, temporarily embedding it on the sword’s edge, to wield the Six Yang Qi.
