Chapter 1387: Chapter 661: Nine Yin Immortal Bone

To speak plainly, this Xiaoyao Taoist Body is actually quite impressive. Of course, Tie Dan isn’t evaluating the physique or appearance in any way; he simply evaluates the root bone and natural talent from the perspective of cultivation.

To put it this way, from flying from Guangxia Mountain to Nine Yin Mountain, all the demons and monsters, the old and young of both genders that his Primordial Spirit scanned along the way didn’t give Tie Dan the impulse to reincarnate immediately. Only this Immortal Remains beneath Nine Yin Mountain made Tie Dan take a closer look, deeming it passable, thinking that after all this search, he might not find a better one, so he simply possessed it to reincarnate and cultivated a split form to handle affairs.

Considering that this move might be useful for others who travel through time in the future, let’s explain how to select root bone during Reincarnation.

Well, when it comes to the root bone, natural talent is all about the bones first.

The Mystic Sect has been passed down for so long and has seen so many living and dead, resulting in a set of effective methods for discerning bones and seeking immortality. Whether you’re suitable for Qi Refining or suited for swordsmanship, whether you have the potential for Divinity Transformation or are limited to gradual progression, you can deduce these by carefully examining the bones.

Of course, there’s both mystical experience and scientific reasoning here. Simply put, whether a bone is healthy and strong can be evaluated by rinsing it with Daoist energy. The amount of Dao Breath that remains, how much Spiritual Power it absorbs, the proportion of Nine Qi in Refining, the speed rate, and the limit, all of these directly determine what cultivation and techniques a person can reach, what the ceiling looks like from the start. This is inborn talent of root bone, something that cannot be sought and is not much related to acquired opportunities and personal effort.

This kind of pet-like selection inevitably involves certain prejudices, as no one can say that ordinary people can’t become immortal and attain the Way. But in reality, the gaps are widely pulled apart right from the starting line. Forcing those few illiterate country lads to have ’fair’ competition with corporate customized Brother Billa’s Great Dao Body time travelers and big spenders from the Old Xuan Sect is nothing but bullying them as mere playmates and consumables. From the sect’s point of view, limited resources will not be wasted on nurturing ordinary characters.

Ah, let’s not talk about these troublesome matters anymore.

To get back on track, taking the bones selected by Tie Dan as an example, whether it’s the Sword Sect or the Leisure Sect, they are essentially direct inheritances of the Mystic Sect, and all these Carefree Disciples have been chosen through the sect’s selection. There are absolutely no ordinary items here, and even amongst these Immortal Remains, the one that stands out and caught Tie Dan’s eye is a person of exceptional talent.

Upon closer inspection, every bone is as smooth as jade, showing no signs of fractures or impurities. This indicates that the person did not suffer any significant internal or external injuries before death, was not subjected to any external forces that damaged bones or muscles and was not contaminated by inner energy that tainted the Dao Body. The body is free from impurities, and nurturing it afterward naturally comes with half the effort yielding double results.

Upon using Divine Sense to closely examine the surface of the bones, one may find hair-thin natural lines, but those are not cracks. Rather, they are time-honored impressions left by the routes of meridians during practice exercises and Qi circulation.

This ripple-like meridian line runs from the position of the Yongquan acupoint of the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian upwards, along the inner leg bones, bypassing the hipbone, reaching both sides of the spine. The marks of the Chong Meridian are as wide as a river, running parallel to the Kidney Meridian, traversing the entire torso. This indicates that the person learned from a renowned master, practiced proper Mystic Sect Qi Gong, with a foundation that is quite solid and stable, without any wayward branch or Qi deviation, avoiding any risk of being possessed by demons.

Upon examining each vertebra’s vertebral foramen, tiny pits are faintly visible, neatly aligned like the phases of the moon, marking the Great Success of Taiyin Refining Form, with nine orifices in the bone corresponding to Nine Yin Numbers. At the popliteal fossa, one can feel a slightly protruding joint shaped like a crescent, and further up, at the Huantiao acupoint of the hip, the bone protrudes a small section outward like the fork of an osmanthus tree.

If Tie Dan remembers correctly, these bony anomalies are unique "Nine Yin Bone Protrusions," belonging to the "Innate Nine Yin Taiyin Pure Yin Ultimate Yin Holy Body" described in the Daoist Collection. The Nine Yin Dao Body is named after this, signifying a long-term cleansing of meridians with True Yin Qi, with each Qi Circulation storing excess parts in the body’s nine externally developed Qi Mansions. Thus, it is clear that this person was consistent in her practice of the Taiyin Qi Technique, a female cultivator molded by infusion rather than a Yin Yang Person who reversed Kun and Qiankun halfway through.

Most mysteriously, at the center of the frontal bone of the skull is a naturally formed crescent-shaped indentation, smooth as a mirror, as if something had been embedded there. Within the eye sockets on either side, a faint silvery light flows continuously, and even though the owner has deceased, the points of light remain undiminished. The moon cave in the skull is irrefutable evidence of mastering the "Jielin Moon Rushing," reaching the pinnacle of this path. It shows that this person has cultivated to the peak of Qi Gong and Daoist practices, forming the Taiyin Sword Infant residing in the Divine Court, and even by Old Mystic Sect’s evaluation standards, achieved entry-level attainment, entitled to the true transmission, acknowledging and passing on as sword transmission disciples.

In conclusion, this Innate Nine Yin Taiyin Pure Yin Ultimate Yin Holy Body is until now only below the Tai Chi Innate Great Perfection Saint Body that spoke dialect fluently, and it’s not much below. In fact, in certain specific cultivation schools within the Mystic Sect, this set of bones might actually be considered better than the Taiji Great Perfection Dao Body.
