In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Princess Liyang's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

If she could join the Kunlun Immortal Sect, it would be of great help to both getting closer to Zhang Xiaoshan and to the Great Li.

As for why she did not join a secular immortal sect?

This is an ironclad rule of cultivation sects: no members of the royal family may be admitted into the sect.

Emperors yearn for immortality!

Since ancient times, the imperial family in China has been forbidden from practicing immortal arts.

This is similar to how Zhang Xiaoshan completely separated the Zhang family from the Daqian Dynasty.

Once a member of the royal family enters a sect, the karma of the dynasty will inevitably plunge the sect into an endless abyss!

Even though the probability is extremely small, we still have to be wary of it.

Therefore, under Princess Liyang's expectant gaze, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and said:

"I have only been practicing this minor path for ten years, and my cultivation is still shallow. How can I be qualified to teach others?"

Before joining Kunlun, I was a wandering cultivator. After several years of seclusion, I combined Kunlun's Daoist methods with my own unique techniques. Only after gaining the approval of my elders was I allowed to descend the mountain for further training.

Princess Liyang was greatly surprised to hear that Zhang Xiaoshan had only been a disciple of Kunlun for ten years.

However, upon learning that Zhang Xiaoshan was previously a rogue cultivator in the mortal realm, he suddenly realized that otherwise, Zhang Xiaoshan's advancement to the Golden Core realm in ten years would have been absolutely astonishing.

"And the cultivation method that Xiaodao taught the princess was related to this technique."

There are two types of this method. One is the previous Nine Yin Manual, which is a human method of cultivating Qi, and can be cultivated up to the twelfth level of Qi cultivation.

The second method is the Pure Yin Method, which was later created by Xiaodao. This method has an extremely high entry barrier.

Perhaps they possess exceptionally high aptitude, perhaps they have the assistance of someone named Zhang, or perhaps they possess an extremely cold constitution...

Similarly, the minor Taoist priest only taught the princess the part about cultivating Qi.

Furthermore, because the Pure Yin Yin Technique has a solid foundation and is cultivated slowly, even requiring extremely high aptitude, it's likely that the princess will find it very difficult to achieve great success; even achieving minor success would require her to spend a large portion of her wealth on cultivation resources.

"So, the Pure Yin Manual is far superior to the Nine Yin Manual?"

Princess Liyang immediately showed a hint of anticipation when she heard Zhang Xiaoshan's introduction.

According to Zhang Xiaoshan's introduction, although the Pure Yin Technique is not a Kunlun method, it is a fusion of the Kunlun method, so wouldn't it be even higher than the Kunlun Dao Technique?

While the Nine Yin Manual is simple and easy to learn, it was Zhang Xiaoshan's martial arts technique before he joined Kunlun, making its superiority immediately apparent.

"It can be said that the Nine Yin Divine Skill was created by a minor Taoist in the mortal world, and it is merely a lower-level method."

Afterwards, Xiao Dao secluded himself in the Kunlun Scripture Pavilion for three years and spent another three years comprehending the Dao, which led to the Pure Yin Dao Technique, now considered a top-tier method within the Kunlun Daoist sect.

With the Nine Yin Manual, I can guarantee that the princess will cultivate to the twelfth level, or even reach the Golden Core stage.

........ .... ...

Moreover, after Xiaodao reorganized it, the Nine Yin Manual was no less advanced than the superior cultivation methods of the major sects in the secular world.

However, because the Pure Yin Technique cultivates pure Yin energy, even if a junior Taoist priest guides the princess into the path, she will likely never reach the Golden Core realm in her lifetime.

This is not an exaggeration or alarmist talk.

Instead, it was worldly spiritual energy, which could only support the princess's cultivation up to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Even if the princess gathers all sorts of rare and precious materials and breaks through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, there are still two major chasms: the tenth level and the Perfection level, each more difficult than the last.

Unless the princess is born with a Xuan Yin constitution, she can only achieve the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

"That difficult?"

Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation made Princess Liyang fall into deep thought.

The Nine Yin Manual can be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage, and even to the Golden Core stage;

The Pure Yin Technique is undoubtedly more advanced, but even after practicing it, she found it difficult to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, let alone the tenth level or the perfect Qi Refining realm.

For a moment, Princess Liyang fell into deep thought.

"We beg the immortal sage to make the decision!"

Princess Liyang directly threw the problem to Zhang Xiaoshan, as she herself did not know her own aptitude.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

Seeing the conflicted look in Princess Liyang's eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but suggest:

"I suggest that the princess first determine her own cultivation aptitude."

If one has excellent aptitude, one can cultivate the Pure Yin Technique; if the princess's aptitude is not good, or is only so-so, she can cultivate the Nine Yin Manual.

Some things cannot be forced; doing so will only cause you harm.

How are qualifications determined?

"Please extend your right arm, Princess. This humble Taoist can discern your aptitude simply by feeling the bones."

Chapter 924 Profound Yin Meridian Pure Yang Treasure?

Bone palpation?

Upon hearing this, Princess Liyang's face immediately flushed red, and a hint of shyness flashed in her long, charming eyes.

However, she did not hesitate and placed her delicate hand in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.

The bone-touching was just a matter of touching the arm. Zhang Xiaoshan was not a pervert, nor was he trying to take advantage of her. He simply pinched her fair and flawless arm a few times without causing any pain or discomfort.

However, a surge of pure Yang energy in his hand had already traced the meridians in her arm and discerned Princess Li Yang's cultivation aptitude.

"The Profound Yin Body! How is that possible?"

Zhang Xiaoshan withdrew his large hand from Princess Liyang's jade-like arm and looked at her with surprise.

Because of his cultivation of the Pure Yang Dao Technique, he is extremely sensitive to the extreme cold attribute of the body. They are attracted to each other like magnets, and as long as they are within a hundred feet, they cannot escape the perception of his Nine Provinces Cauldron.

In recent years, he has also used his intuition to find a woman with an extremely yin constitution, known as "843".

Unfortunately, she had already lost her virginity and was married off.

With his Yin body broken and his cultivation aptitude greatly reduced, Zhang Xiaoshan stopped worrying about it. He simply disguised himself as an old Taoist priest and used pure Yang magic to resolve the aftereffects of his extremely cold Yin energy. He would not die young because of this and could live a normal life.

After all, having an extremely Yin constitution is both an opportunity and a calamity.

Unexpectedly, Princess Liyang, whom he was quite familiar with, was also a Xuan Yin body.

Moreover, it is the most domineering Heavenly Absolute Meridian among the Xuan Yin Body, namely the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian.

With a constitution like that, one would typically not live past nine years old, but now...

For a moment, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Princess Liyang, whose expression was tense, and said solemnly:

"Does the princess have any personal belongings that she has carried with her since childhood and has never been separated from her?"

"Why does the immortal ask this question?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Liyang's expression became somewhat awkward, puzzled by Zhang Xiaoshan's purpose.

This is something I always carry with me, and I've never been away from it. How can I easily show such a private thing to others?

However, Zhang Xiaoshan had no intention of hiding it. Moreover, he was curious about what kind of treasure could suppress the Xuan Yin Meridian and conceal his senses. It should at least be no less than a top-tier magic weapon, and it was a pure Yang item at the time.

After all, this thing can neutralize the Yin Meridian, so it must be a top-tier pure Yang magic weapon.

Then he immediately said:

"The princess's constitution is the Xuan Yin Absolute Meridian, commonly known as the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, and she generally does not live past the age of nine."

Moreover, Xiao Dao cultivates the Pure Yang Dao Technique, which is extremely sensitive to this kind of extremely Yin and cold constitution, as if Yin and Yang attract each other.

If I hadn't personally examined the princess's bones today, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect her special constitution at all. Therefore, I'm certain that the princess possesses a pure yang treasure that suppresses her yin meridians and isolates me from her senses, allowing her to live until now and preventing anyone with ulterior motives from discovering her yin meridians.

After all, the Profound Yin Meridian would be a calamity for the princess, but for some unorthodox cultivators, it would be a top-tier resource.

"The Profound Yin Meridian?"

Princess Liyang panicked when she saw Zhang Xiaoshan's excited expression.

Not only did the Xuan Yin Meridian sound terrifying, but she also understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," as Zhang Xiaoshan had said.

And who can guarantee that Zhang Xiaoshan won't make a move against her?

"What the immortal said was that Li Yang should only live to be nine years old. It was the treasure on his body that saved Li Yang's life, allowing him to live without disaster or calamity until now?"

"Indeed, the Xuan Yin Absolute Meridian and the extremely cold Yin constitution, once it flares up, are like being in the dead of winter, where the cold cannot be driven away by any external force."

If it had been discovered earlier, I might have been able to cultivate the "Taiyin Treasure Scripture" of my Kunlun Daoist sect. It could not only cure the Xuan Yin Meridian, but also, with the help of the power of Xuan Yin, achieve limitless success.

Unfortunately, the princess's meridians are now fully formed; if she were to cultivate, she would inevitably suffer a backlash from the extreme yin and cold energy!

Is it hopeless?

Princess Liyang looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with resentment, her beautiful eyes filled with despair.

After all, if Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to steal the treasure, the best way would be not to tell her and then trick her into handing it over.

"Immortal Master, are you saying that Li Yang can only live like an ordinary person and cannot cultivate?"

"No, it's not that. The method that Zhang cultivates is the Pure Yang Dao Technique."

If the princess were to cultivate the Pure Yin Yin Technique, combining Yin and Yang, my pure Yang magic power could not only neutralize the excessive Yin energy, but both the princess and I would also gain tremendous benefits. However, this method is somewhat improper, taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.

Another method is for the Taoist priest to directly suppress and neutralize the Yin energy with pure Yang magic power.

However, this humble Pure Yang Daoist technique is only in its initial stages, currently consisting of only the Qi Refining and Golden Core chapters. To completely eradicate the Profound Yin Meridian, one would need at least the Immortal realm, which would likely take a century.

Zhang Xiaoshan's method stirred Princess Liyang's thoughts, causing her face to flush crimson.

Yin-Yang dual cultivation? Isn't that just...

Moreover, this was the only way to cure her, which made Princess Liyang somewhat obsessed.

"Princess, please don't misunderstand. What I meant by Yin-Yang cultivation is simply pressing your palms together; there is nothing excessive about it."

However, the fact that a man and a woman were alone in a room for an extremely long time would ultimately damage the princess's reputation if word got out!

Princess Liyang felt even more ashamed and embarrassed upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected to overthink things, but for her, this was an opportunity to get closer to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Moreover, she also knew that cultivators had the saying of 'Dharma, Wealth, Companion, and Land'. A Daoist companion could be a senior member of the sect who protected the Dharma, or it could be a husband and wife.

Therefore, their practice of Yin and Yang in harmony can be considered as Daoist couples.

"Immortal, there is no need to worry. This is Li Yang's choice."

Moreover, Li Yang currently possesses the Profound Yin Meridian; if he doesn't cultivate, he might die one day. What do he care about these external titles?

"The princess is open-minded."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded; this was the Princess Liyang he knew.

A successful businesswoman, an independent woman.

However, cultivation is no small matter, so Zhang Xiaoshan still suggested:

"Since the princess has made her decision, then the princess should bathe and fast for three days. At that time, I will personally come to help the princess establish her foundation and cultivate."

Moreover, just in case, Zhang would refine several Pure Yang Pills for the princess and set up some secret cultivation rooms to prevent the Xuan Yin 2.0 Qi in the princess's body from going out of control and becoming uncontrollable.

After all, if a car overturns on a side road, it will inevitably cause a series of unnecessary troubles.

"Thank you for your trouble, Immortal Master!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Liyang was also impressed by Zhang Xiaoshan's thoughtfulness and meticulousness, never expecting him to be so considerate in every aspect.

For a moment, the thought that she could spend a long time with Yun Zhang Xiaoshan after entering the path of cultivation made even the noble and aloof princess in everyone's eyes reveal a hint of girlish shyness.

However, after Princess Liyang calmed down, she thought of her mother, the Empress Dowager.

If what Zhang Xiaoshan said is true, even her father probably didn't know about her Xuan Yin Meridian. The only person who knew and helped her cover it up was her mother, who had already passed away.

But how could such a mysterious woman, capable of suppressing the Xuan Yin Meridian, have suddenly died in her childhood?
