My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 192 Netherworld Pearl (Page 13)

"Forget the demonstration. Cultivation is no joke. You can't just improve it instantly."

Chen Yu quickly waved his hands. These casual clothes were just ordinary clothes. There was no way they could increase the speed of cultivation. He was just making it up.

When Xuanqing Zhenren saw Chen Yu's refusal, he became even more suspicious and said with a sullen face, "Why?

Are you trying to deceive me?"

"No, no, you misunderstood, Sect Master." Chen Yu quickly explained, "This casual attire can indeed increase the speed of cultivation, but it requires a special technique to be effective. I haven't found the right technique yet, so..."

"Oh? There's such a saying?" Xuan Qing Zhenren became interested. "Then tell me, what kind of skills are needed to match this casual wear?"

Chen Yu rolled his eyes and said casually, "This technique is called 'Lying Flat Divine Technique'. When practicing, you need to..."

"The Lying Flat Divine Art?" Master Xuanqing frowned. "I've never heard of it. Are you kidding me?"

"Master, please understand! How dare I play tricks on you?" Chen Yu said seriously, "This lying-flat technique is an ancient secret. I only got it by chance. However, it's too...too..."

"Too much of what?" asked Master Xuanqing.

"It's too embarrassing, I really can't bring myself to talk about it." Chen Yu said with difficulty.

"Shame?" Xuan Qing Zhenren was even more curious. "What kind of technique is it that makes you so embarrassed to talk about it?"

Seeing Xuan Qing Zhenren's questioning, Chen Yu's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind. He leaned close to Xuan Qing Zhenren's ear and whispered, "Master, to be honest, when practicing this lying-flat magic skill, you need to... you need to take off all your clothes and lie on the bed..."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Master Xuanqing's old face immediately turned red. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had heard of such an unorthodox method of cultivation.

"Master, please keep your voice down." Chen Yu said quickly, "This is a huge secret. We must not let anyone else know."

Xuan Qing Zhenren lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure this lying-flat magic skill is really effective?"

"Absolutely true!" Chen Yu patted his chest and assured, "I've personally tested it, and the results are absolutely amazing!"

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll trust you this once." Xuan Qing Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "However, this lying-flat technique is too... too special. You'd better not spread it to others, lest it tarnish the reputation of my Qingyun Sect."

"Disciple understands." Chen Yu nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you go down first, I still have things to deal with." Zhenren Xuanqing waved his hand and said.

"Yes, disciple, I'll take my leave." Chen Yu bowed, then turned and left the cave of Master Xuanqing.

Chen Yu walked out of the cave and breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the "lying flat magic skill" he made up casually could actually scare Master Xuanqing. It seems that this old man is not as old-fashioned as he seems.

Chen Yu was about to leave Qingyun Peak when he suddenly remembered an important thing: the matter of the ghost messenger had not been resolved yet!

Chen Yu immediately set off for the library. He wanted to look up information about the ghost world and the Netherworld Pearl to see if he could find any clues.

The Qingyun Sect's library is a nine-story pagoda that soars into the clouds, housing a vast collection of martial arts secrets and various strange stories and records.

Chen Yu arrived in front of the library, but was stopped by the elder guarding the library.

The elder guarding the pavilion was a short, fat, gray-haired old man. He squinted his eyes as he looked at Chen Yu and asked, "Boy, what are you doing in the library?"

"Hello, elder. I am Chen Yu, a disciple. I would like to borrow some books." Chen Yu said respectfully.

"Borrowing books?" The elder guarding the pavilion snorted coldly, "You're a newly initiated disciple. Why are you joining the fun in the library instead of cultivating properly?"

"Elder, I'm right. I know I was wrong." Chen Yu quickly admitted his mistake. "However, I've encountered some problems recently and need to look up some information to solve them. I hope Elder will be flexible."

"Oh? What's the problem?" The elder guarding the pavilion became interested.

"It's like this..." Chen Yu briefly recounted the story of the ghost world's messenger. Of course, he omitted his modern identity and the existence of his system. He just said that he accidentally heard some rumors about the Netherworld Pearl and was worried that the ghost world would be detrimental to the Qingyun Sect, so he wanted to come to the library to look up relevant information, hoping to find a solution to the problem.

After listening to Chen Yu's story, the elder guarding the pavilion pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to look up information about the ghost world and the Netherworld Pearl?"

"Yes, Elder." Chen Yu nodded.

"These materials are all sect secrets, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to view them."

The elder guarding the pavilion said.

"Disciple understands, but..." Chen Yu still wanted to fight for it.

"However..." The elder guarding the pavilion changed the subject, "considering your sincerity and your desire to help the sect, I will make an exception and allow you to go in and read. However, you can only move around on the first floor, and your time cannot exceed two hours. You must not damage any books, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

"Thank you, Elder!" Chen Yu was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

The elder guarding the pavilion opened the door of the library, and an ancient atmosphere blew in. Chen Yu walked into the library and saw that it was filled with tall bookshelves. The bookshelves were densely packed with various books, emitting a faint scent of ink.

Chen Yu quickly found the books about the ghost world according to the classification labels on the bookshelf. He flipped through them for a long time and finally found the record about the Netherworld Pearl in an ancient book called "Records of Ghost World".

The book records that the Netherworld Pearl is a treasure of the ghost world. It possesses powerful power that can control the passages to the ghost world and even affect the balance of yin and yang in the human world.

According to legend, the Netherworld Pearl is formed from the soul of the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, the lord of the ghost world, and possesses the power to destroy the world.

After reading this record, Chen Yu's heart was suddenly filled with shock. He did not expect that the Netherworld Pearl was so important. If it really fell into the hands of the ghost world, the consequences would be unimaginable!

But why did the Qingyun Sect suppress the Nether Pearl? Didn't they know the power of the Nether Pearl?

Chen Yu continued to flip through the ancient books, trying to find the answer.

Chen Yu held the yellowed "Records of Ghost World" in his hands, his fingers stroking the uneven texture of the pages, and the scent of ancient ink penetrated his nostrils.

The Netherworld Pearl, the most precious treasure in the ghost world, the power to destroy the heavens and the earth... These words swirled in his mind, making him feel a palpitation.

He looked up and around. The first floor of the library was spacious, with tall bookshelves extending into the dim depths. The air was filled with silence.

There were a few oil lamps dotted between the bookshelves, emitting a dim light that cast a hazy shadow on the surroundings.

He thought of the wrinkled face of the elder who had guarded the pavilion before, and the pair of cloudy eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Two hours are running out, and he must find more clues about the Nether Pearl and the reason why the Qingyun Sect suppressed it as soon as possible.

Chen Yu put "Records of Ghost World" back to its original place and began to look for other related books according to the labels on the bookshelf.

He flipped through the books one by one, from "Ancient Strange Stories" to "Nine Provinces Strange Records", from "The Battle between Immortals and Demons" to "Illustrated Guide to Demons and Ghosts", hoping to find some clues.

"Huh..." Chen Yu put down the thick book "Travels in Three Thousand Worlds" in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes.

He had been in the library for more than an hour, but still found no more records about the Netherworld Pearl.

Most books simply mention the existence of the Nether Pearl, without describing its origin and function in detail.

Just when Chen Yu was about to give up, his eyes fell on an inconspicuous thin book.

This thin book has no name, and its cover is so worn out that it is almost falling apart. It lies quietly at the bottom of the bookshelf, as if it has been forgotten.

Chen Yu took the thin book down curiously and gently blew away the dust on it.

The pages are yellowed and the paper is fragile, as if it would break with the slightest touch.

He carefully opened the first page, which had only four words written on it: Secret History of the Underworld.

Chen Yu's heart trembled. Could this be the answer he was looking for? He continued to flip through the pages and discovered that the contents of this thin volume were even more detailed than the "Records of Ghost World Observations." It not only described the origin of the Nether Pearl, but also recorded the process of Qingyun Sect suppressing the Nether Pearl.

It turns out that the Netherworld Pearl is not just a treasure from the ghost world, it is actually a key connecting the human world and the ghost world.

Whoever possesses the Netherworld Pearl can control the passage to the ghost world, and can even open the door to the ghost world and release the ghost army into the human world.

Thousands of years ago, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor attempted to use the Netherworld Pearl to invade the human world, but was defeated by the founder of Qingyun Sect and other righteous sects. The Netherworld Ghost Emperor's soul was sealed in the Netherworld Pearl, and the Netherworld Pearl was suppressed in the forbidden area of ​​Qingyun Sect.

The reason why Qingyun Sect wants to suppress the Netherworld Pearl is not because they are unaware of its power, but to prevent it from falling into the hands of evil forces and causing great harm to the lives of the people.

Seeing this, Chen Yu finally understood the whole story.

He closed the book and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders; he had to protect the Nether Pearl and never let it fall into the hands of the ghost world.

At this moment, an old voice came from behind: "Boy, how do you see it?"

Chen Yu looked back and saw that it was the elder guarding the pavilion. He was holding an oil lamp, hunched over, and walking slowly towards him.

"Elder." Chen Yu quickly stood up and saluted, "Disciple has found some clues."

"Oh?" A gleam of light flashed in the elder guarding the pavilion's cloudy eyes. "Tell me about it."

Chen Yu briefly recounted what he had read in "Secret History of the Underworld".

After listening to this, the elder guarding the pavilion pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the ghost world is serious this time.

The matter of the Nether Pearl is of great importance. You must proceed with caution and not act rashly."

"Disciple understands." Chen Yu nodded solemnly.

The elder guarding the pavilion patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said, "It's almost time, you should go back."

Chen Yu looked out the window. It was already getting dark. He had been in the library for nearly two hours. Time had flown by so quickly.

"Thank you, Elder." Chen Yu bowed again, then turned and left the library.

Chen Yu walked out of the library. Night had already fallen. Lights dotted the Qingyun Peak, like stars scattered in the night sky.

The mountain breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Chen Yu tightened his casual clothes and walked quickly towards his residence.

On the way, he met several fellow disciples. When they saw Chen Yu's casual clothes, they couldn't help but cast curious glances at him and whispered to each other.

"Look, isn't that Chen Yu? Why is he dressed like this?" said a short, fat disciple with a round face.

"I don't know. This dress is weird. It's the first time I've seen it."

Another tall, thin disciple answered.

"I heard that this is a strange outfit he brought back from the foot of the mountain. He said it can increase the speed of cultivation."

The short and fat disciple said mysteriously.

"Is it true? Why haven't I heard of it?" The tall disciple expressed his doubt.

"Why would I lie to you? I heard it with my own ears." The short and fat disciple said confidently.

When Chen Yu heard their discussion, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he ignored them and continued walking towards his residence.
