Porter's Immortal Cultivation: I Have Level 5 Full Inscriptions

Chapter 265 Shi Xuan Gu

When it got dark.

Yang Silang rode the Great Green Horse straight to the Martial Arts Hall and Martial Arts Pagoda.

Upon arriving at the destination, Daqing ran joyfully towards the stable to see its beloved mare.

It wandered outside for half a year, spending most of its time with that red horse with a strong desert pedigree and body odor, feeling utterly hopeless.

That horse was eventually ridden away by that bad guy "Chai Qing," and sometimes I miss it.

Yang Silang carried the wine and meat straight to the tower.

At the main gate outside the tower, I saw Confucius and Mencius again.

The two were overjoyed to see him.

"Teacher Yang? Long time no see!"

"Congratulations! Now we can't call you Instructor Yang anymore, we have to call you Scholar Yang!"

"If he fills the vacancy later, he'll be an official!"

After the list of successful candidates was released, each province established a guild hall in the capital, which served as a place for the province's outstanding individuals to exchange information, share resources, and find lodging.

The Jiangdong Guild Hall had long ago copied down the names and hometowns of all the successful candidates in the imperial examinations in the province, and then sent them back to the province. This was a major event.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Confucius and Mencius learned that he had passed the imperial examination.

Yang Silang laughed and said modestly.

"You only passed the imperial examination, and only ranked in the third class at that. You were granted the title of Jinshi (a high-ranking scholar) – that's nothing special."

Confucius and Mencius both shook their heads.

"Apart from those aristocratic scions who are untouchable and incomparable."

"Young Yang's students ranked among the top three, making him one of the most outstanding scholars in the imperial examinations."

"Brother, if you want to get a government official position but don't have the money, just ask us. We can help you."

Yang Silang hurriedly thanked the two for their kindness, and the three exchanged pleasantries for a while.

He recounted some interesting anecdotes from his journey, and of course, he also spoke of the prosperity of the capital city, and described the various hardships he had encountered.

The two were stunned to hear that the soldiers of Jiangbei Province were forcibly conscripting civilians into the army. They said that these generals were too arbitrary and lawless.

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Silang produced two exquisitely crafted gold hairpins.

"I saw two pretty little trinkets in the capital. I'm bringing them for my sister-in-law. Please don't be shy about bringing them."

Actually, when he was buying clothes and cosmetics for Mo Xinlian, he remembered that he was going back to his hometown, so he also bought a batch of jewelry and fabrics to prepare for his sisters at home.

Because everything looked good, I bought a bit too much.

Confucius and Mencius were overjoyed, but were too embarrassed to accept the gift. After some back and forth, they happily accepted it, saying they would definitely host a dinner party another day.

Yang Silang entered the Martial Arts Tower.

Instead of going to the practice room, he looked up at the top of the tower.

At the top of the tower, a massive mass of qi and blood was rhythmically pulsating, clearly indicating that Master Fu Liunian was practicing diligently once again.

Yang Silang closed his eyes and did not move, but his blood and qi surged and his true qi circulated throughout his body. He had already used his most proficient wood-type true qi.

At the same time, a trace of the true essence of the fist technique was released inside the tower.

He believed that even if Fu Liunian was in seclusion, he could accurately sense the presence of this trace of fist intent.

really.

At the top of the tower, the massive mass of qi and blood suddenly throbbed a few times, expanding and contracting before finally stabilizing in sync with the heartbeat.

Then Fu Liunian's cheerful voice came down.

"I wonder who could produce such a pure and refined expression of the Wood element."

"So it's Brother Yang, you're back..."

"Please come in quickly..."

Yang Silang's wood-elemental fist intent was pure and harmless, enough to wake Fu Liunian from his meditative state without causing him to suffer a qi deviation.

He strode up the stairs.

Fu Liunian was already waiting there. When she saw him, she laughed and took his hand to enter the secluded room together.

"Brother Yang, thank you so much for taking my wild daughter into your fold. I am truly grateful..."

"Furthermore, I would like to congratulate Brother Yang on passing the imperial examination and becoming a Jinshi."

The matter of Yang Silang taking on an apprentice must have been mentioned by Master Fu in a letter to the old man.

"Huh... Brother Yang, you've already mastered the Turtle Breathing Technique to the intermediate level?" Fu Liunian exclaimed in surprise, "Your Qi and blood can be contained to such an extent."

In his perception of Qi and blood, Yang Silang's Qi and blood were actually at the level of an ordinary Iron Bone Martial Master, which was obviously due to his mastery of the Turtle Breathing Technique.

Yang Silang smiled modestly.

"I've been practicing a bit too much..."

Strangely enough, in the spirit-suppressing array in the capital, practicing techniques like the Great Five Elements Fist or the Killing Spear was incredibly slow, but practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique was unaffected.

This is probably because the Turtle Breathing Exercise is a method of slowing down the flow of Qi and blood and storing the spirit. As long as you slowly circulate the true Qi around Baihui, Zusanli, and Shenque, you can "store" the strands of true Qi in the Dantian.

Its original purpose was not to increase true qi or improve cultivation, but to focus on concealment and hiding, thus it was not affected by the spirit-suppressing array.

The two sat on the cushions and chatted for a while.

Yang Silang said that Fu Hongying was intelligent, respectful of her teachers, and had great comprehension. In a few years, the Fu family would probably produce a second grandmaster.

Fu Liunian was very pleased to hear that even the bearded man was coming.

Yang Silang recounted his observations of the capital and his journey home.

Fu Liunian listened with deep emotion.

"Is it really this chaotic outside?"

"I am guarding this Martial Arts Tower, which is like being in prison. I am cut off from all news and know nothing."

"Brother Fu, turn the page and you'll find another world. How did you fare in your seclusion today?" Yang Silang changed the subject when he saw that Fu was downcast.

Fu Liunian shook his head.

"Hope is slim."

"Hope is slim."

"I used to be so competitive that I pushed myself to the point where I wanted to practice even while I was sleeping, but I couldn't achieve my goal. Now I've come to terms with it and just let things take their course."

"After all, I'm getting old. Even with the Qi-stabilizing pills you gave me back then, I still haven't been able to break through."

"I'm getting old after all. If my parents had given me better genetics, I might still have a chance, but it's innate, and it's hard to change it..."

Reversing one's inherent constitution can be achieved through certain techniques, but none of them are rare and unique skills possessed by a Grandmaster of Golden Marrow or higher.

Yang Silang laughed heartily.

"Brother Fu, there's always a way out! Look what this is!"

He was prepared; with a flick of his wrist, a teacup appeared in his palm, its contents a clear distinction between black and white, with steaming hot tea swirling within.

"I've prepared a small gift for you, brother..."

He presented it with both hands, and Fu Liunian hurriedly and solemnly accepted it.

Just one sniff and you feel your blood and energy invigorated, and your true energy stirring.

"This is...this is the Yin-Yang Rejuvenation Tea used by the royal family to cleanse and refine the constitution of princes and princesses before they begin martial arts training?"

His face was filled with surprise.

"Brother Yang, you're so thoughtful..."

"This thing is extremely rare."

Yang Silang chuckled lightly, then rose to take his leave.

"Brother Fu, drink it while it's hot. But after drinking this tea, all your body hair will fall out and your body will be expelled, so I won't be able to stay any longer. Let's talk another day..."

"I'll go stay in another boxing room for a while."

He actually saw the original body of Granny Tianjing embedded in the center of the room as soon as he entered. It was already crystal clear and in better condition than before.

The divine senses within the Niwan Palace detected that demonic energy within the crystal had condensed into a ball and was constantly churning.

Grandma Tianjing has recovered, and it seems that her cultivation level has improved even further.

Fu Liunian was a martial arts fanatic. Knowing that this tea was precious, he had to drink it quickly to prevent its essence from being wasted.

He apologized verbally, but his actions betrayed him, as he hurriedly escorted Yang Silang out of the secret room.

Yang Silang went downstairs and turned to go to the Five Elements Fist room.

Upon entering the house.

Sure enough, a middle-aged face appeared on the round stone above, looking anxious.

"Young friend, please let me see my daughter..."

Yang Silang looked on in surprise.

"Grandma Tianjing? Why have you become...so young?"

Grandma Tianjing blushed.

"Grandma doesn't know either. I was like this when I woke up."

"I'm so embarrassed! Other people look older after having a baby, but I look younger after giving birth..."

Yang Silang laughed heartily, knowing that it was due to his own slight restoration of his original essence.

He took out the Flying Thunder Stone from his waist and shook it gently.

"Little aunt, aren't you going to show yourself?"

A demonic aura flew out from it, landed and transformed into a girl with a high ponytail, looked up at Granny Tianjing, somewhat stunned and somewhat timid.

Grandma Tianjing looked down at the little girl, her lips trembling with emotion.

They were bound by blood, and after a few moments of eye contact, one called out "daughter" and the other "mother," both shedding tears.

"My child, how are you doing?"

"Mother, my nephew is so good to me, look..."

The aunt pointed, and a beam of white light shone into the round stone on the roof.

Yang Silang's divine senses revealed that the white light contained countless tiny fragments of his aunt's memories from the time she could remember until now.

He couldn't help but marvel at how convenient it was for a crystal spirit to transmit messages.

For a normal person to watch all these scenes, it would probably take several months to watch them at an accelerated pace.

Granny Tianjing finished reading in an instant; this was also a natural talent and instinct of the Crystal Demon.

"Alright, alright, I'm relieved that you're doing well."

"Follow Young Friend Yang closely. He's a good person. You can be his demon pet without worry."

The aunt nodded very seriously.

"Mother, don't worry, I will."

She changed the subject.

"Mother, my nephew Yang said only you can name me."

"Please get one for me quickly!"

"It must reflect my identity as a stone demon, and my seniority must also be prominent."

Grandma Tianjing frowned in thought.

"Then your surname will be Shi, and with the character 'Gu' added, since young friend Yang calls you 'Xiao Gu' (Little Aunt), how about you be called Shi Yao Gu (Little Aunt Shi)?"

The aunt shook her head hastily upon hearing this.

"No, no."

"She sounds like a stone witch, not a good person."

Grandma Tianjing was also in a difficult position.

Yang Silang, who was listening nearby, laughed heartily.

"That's easy to do."

"You have awakened your ancestral mystical bloodline."

"Why not add a horizontal stroke to the top of the character '幺'?"

"You shall be called Shi Xuangu!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Tianjing and her aunt both said "good" in unison.

"From now on, I will be Shi Xuan Gu!" the little girl exclaimed, clapping her hands excitedly, her face flushed.
