A spring of water gushes forth in a cave, a mere handful of space, while butterflies flit around a cluster of flowers, a world of spring.
This night, Ren Ting Ting transformed from a girl into a woman.
As the plum blossoms bloomed, she drifted off to sleep, her face serene.
【You have protected Ren Ting Ting, and have received the reward: Tai Yin Immortal Scripture!】
In the room, Ren Ting Ting slept soundly. Mu Chen felt a resonance within his heart, a stream of profound and mysterious knowledge flooding his mind. His body emitted a soft, ethereal glow.
He didn't know when, but the full moon had risen high above the Ren Mansion, its luminous rays bathing the entire residence in its silvery light.
The moon's gentle radiance cast a shimmering glow on the entire Renjia Town, making the plants and trees seem translucent, like water. It was a sight of otherworldly beauty.
The mortuary.
Just after organizing the aftermath and returning home, preparing to treat his injuries, Jiu Shu suddenly felt something.
He walked to the center of the courtyard, bathed in the intense moonlight. A warm current, seemingly originating from nowhere, coursed through his aching body, easing his pain and gradually healing his internal injuries.
At this moment, Simu also stepped outside.
Sensing the extraordinary nature of the moonlight, he exclaimed in amazement, "What kind of extraordinary master could have created such a remarkable spectacle?"
The sun and the moon represent two extremes.
The sun is fierce, dispelling evil and suppressing demons.
The moon is gentle, nurturing all things.
Just like many mountain spirits, wild ghosts, and fierce corpses, their path to power lies in absorbing the lunar essence.
However, to manipulate the power of the moon to nourish the world is an incredibly difficult task. Even a great master who cultivates the Tai Yin Way would struggle to achieve this!
Jiu Shu pursed his lips and sighed, "Brother Mu Chen, you are truly a model for us all, with your compassionate heart that reaches out to all beings..."
"Are you saying...that this phenomenon is the work of Brother Chunyang?"
"This...This is impossible, Brother!"
Simu exclaimed with wide eyes.
Dao names are not chosen lightly. Like Mu Chen's Dao name, "Chunyang," it clearly indicates a cultivator of the Pure Yang Way. This is a path favored by the Longhu Mountain sect, known for its "Longhu [Dragon Tiger] Momentum," a powerful and domineering style that pushes back evil with relentless force, advancing even further in the face of adversity.
Yet, the scene before them is a feat that even a great master of the Tai Yin Way would find challenging, let alone Mu Chen, a cultivator of the Pure Yang Way.
The two are simply not on the same playing field!
Jiu Shu glanced at Simu, "Then tell me, other than Brother Mu Chen, who else in Renjia Town could achieve this? You or me?"
Simu pondered for a moment, "Could it be...that Brother has a protector?"
Upon hearing this, Jiu Shu gave Simu a look of disdain, "Brother Mu Chen has reached such a level, and he still needs a protector? Who's protecting who?"
Simu's face flushed red with embarrassment. After stammering for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence, "Brother, you are right. Brother Mu Chen is awesome!"
The extraordinary nature of the moonlight wasn't just felt by Jiu Shu and Simu.
All the residents of Renjia Town who were still awake sensed the moon's nourishing energy the moment it intensified!
Their hearts, still troubled from the recent events, now found peace under the gentle embrace of the moonlight.
The injuries they sustained that night, or perhaps some long-standing ailments, also began to heal under the nurturing warmth of the lunar essence.
Those who were still awake, although unaware of the cause, all instinctively woke their sleeping loved ones, allowing them to share in the benefits of the moonlight.
The town, which had just regained its tranquility, was once again filled with commotion.
As more and more people awoke, they soon discovered that the moonlight was most concentrated over the Ren Mansion, and the closer they were to the residence, the more potent the healing effect!
"Little Immortal, it must be the Little Immortal's mercy!"
An elderly man, nearing the end of his life, had been bedridden for years. Now, under the nurturing moonlight, he was able to move again.
He was overcome with gratitude for Mu Chen, who had brought about this transformation, and knelt down, bowing his head repeatedly.
"Little Immortal, you have been so kind to us. How can we ever repay you!"
A man who had not shed a tear even during the bloody battle against the bandits, now held his daughter and cried his heart out.
His daughter, who had been diagnosed by doctors as intellectually disabled, now had bright, intelligent eyes and uttered the sweet word "Papa" for the first time.
Similar scenes unfolded across Renjia Town.
"He truly is a rare and exceptional young talent, worthy of being my beloved daughter's husband..."
Inside the Ren Mansion, Ren Fa felt his own ailments fading as he listened to the words of gratitude echoing from outside. He felt an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment.
In a single night, the people's hearts were won over!
As the head of a prominent local family, he could sense that Mu Chen's standing in Renjia Town had reached its peak!
To put it simply, if Mu Chen declared his intention to rebel, at least two-thirds of the town would readily follow him!
Thankfully, Mu Chen was family. Otherwise, Ren Fa would have been too worried to sleep.
In the bedroom.
Mu Chen had fully mastered the Tai Yin Immortal Scripture, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
The ancient Tai Yin Immortal Scripture, created and cultivated by the Tai Yin Immortal King, transcended the realm of mortals.
Even the scriptures of the Longhu Mountain sect, the ancestral seat of Zhengyi Dao, paled in comparison to the Tai Yin Immortal Scripture!
Now, with the cultivation of both scriptures, Mu Chen's inner energy had become even more pure, infused with the essence of the Tai Yin Way!
His combat power had increased by at least fifty percent through this transformation!
