Chapter 298: Chapter 154 The Secret of the Black Pot

At that moment, Gu Yunshu’s room was crowded with people, all instructors and Incense Masters from Red Mountain Hall, who had heard that Chen Shi was helping Gu Yunshu open the Locking Heaven Gate and had come to watch.

When Gu Yunshu was opening the Locking Heaven Gate, he was paralyzed, lying in bed for over twenty years, depending on others for feeding, drinking, and all personal hygiene. If it were anyone else, they would have been abandoned in the wild to fend for themselves long ago, but Master Yu, remembering old times, had always taken care of him.

No one had expected that Gu, the paralyzed, would ever awaken!

Not only did Gu awaken, but he also opened the Locking Heaven Gate, his Golden Core underwent Soul Emergence, and his cultivation greatly improved!

Pairs of eyes fell on Chen Shi, filled with eagerness, gratitude, excitement.

And even more so, disbelief.

There were not many Talisman Masters in Red Mountain Hall, just under two hundred people, often poor scholars and failed Scholars, who had a hard life day to day, unable to afford a wife or raise children, and only in Red Mountain Hall did they get a chance to show their prowess.

Red Mountain Hall had already passed on the best Cultivation Techniques they could find to them, and the Talisman Masters also shared their cultivation experiences, but many still died during the Locking Heaven Gate and Soul Emergence process, with quite a few struck dead by lightning.

They chalked it up to bad luck or retribution for sins committed in their past lives, and some tried various Cultivation Techniques, but still couldn’t break through, with many more trapped at the Golden Core Realm, too afraid to make any breakthroughs.

They had never imagined that they had been practicing the wrong technique from the start, taking the wrong path.

And the correct path was so simple, so clear!

A Locking Heaven Gate that would take years to achieve could be accomplished in just a few days, or even half an hour!

With this, Red Mountain Hall was bound to have many more experts!

"Scholar instructor, your merit is boundless," muttered one instructor.

Incense Master Lu appeared eager, saying, "Can the Nascent Soul also open the Locking Heaven Gate like this?"

He wanted to enter the room to ask Chen Shi, but hesitated, worried about offending Gu, who had just awakened.

Meanwhile, inside Gu’s room, Yu Tiancheng was crying and laughing, acting insane, his state somewhat off. His original cultivation had been the Cultivation Technique of Red Mountain Lady, absorbing too much moon essence, leading to a somewhat demonic nature in him.

At this moment, he was even showing signs of Demon Transformation!

No wonder.

The purpose of establishing Red Mountain Hall by Yu Tiancheng was to support more poor people’s children to become Talisman Masters, safeguarding the peace, passing on the knowledge monopolized by prominent families, letting these poor folks have a livelihood and achieve higher realms and accomplishments through cultivation.

He had worked hard in Red Mountain Hall for over twenty years, achieving remarkable results.

There were many more experts who had achieved the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms in the Hall, something unimaginable for poor cultivators.

But with just a few simple words from Chen Shi, explaining the methods of Locking Heaven Gate, Soul Emergence, and outer body cultivation clearly and concisely, making cultivation extremely simple, he felt a breakdown coming on.

Too many Talisman Masters of Red Mountain Hall had died over the past twenty years due to practicing the wrong methods!

Too many had been trapped at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul stages, too afraid to step into the next realm!

If he had known it was so simple earlier, why did so many have to die?

Why practice the "Red Blood Embodiment Great Method"?

Why delay for so long?

Chen Shi saw demonic energy, typical of Evil Spirits, gradually emanating around him, with twisted flesh burgeoning behind him, and was startled. He quickly pointed his finger, creating the structure of a Calming Talisman with his Qi-Blood, and then activated it.

Just as he activated the Calming Talisman, he suddenly heard a booming voice: "The Hall Master is ill again!"

Light filled Gu’s room as dozens of Calming Talismans flew in from outside, bursting with power and suppressing Yu Tiancheng’s demonic energy.

Apparently, this was not their first time doing this!

Yu Tiancheng must have undergone Demon Transformation many times, which was why everyone reacted so proficiently.

Yu Tiancheng’s sanity slowly returned, his demonic energy receding, and the twisted flesh on his back gradually disappearing. He quickly said, "Thank you all for your help. It’s not a big problem now."

He said to Gu, "Brother Gu, since you have just recovered, first get familiar with your body, walk around in the hall, I’ll go see the Lady."

Gu Yunshu gently nodded.

Yu Tiancheng hurried away.

Chen Shi looked at Yu Tiancheng, puzzled, "Master Yu’s state seems a bit off. Those Calming Talismans just now couldn’t completely suppress his demonic nature."

However, with Red Mountain Lady present, it seemed likely she could control Yu Tiancheng’s Demon Transformation.

Everyone quickly crowded around, eagerly asking Chen Shi how to Lock Heaven Gate. Seeing this, Chen Shi simply explained the key points of Locking Heaven Gate right there.

Before long, the crowd dispersed.

Gu Yunshu struggled to get out of bed.

After familiarizing himself with his body, he staggered to the front courtyard, only to see the one who had saved him, Chen Shi, also staggering around. The two exchanged smiles, and Gu Yunshu immediately knelt down to offer a grand salute, Chen Shi hurriedly supporting him.

Both of their bodies were somewhat compromised, Chen Shi’s wounds not yet healed and his Qi-Blood somewhat deficient, while Gu Yunshu had lain in bed for over twenty years, thin as a stick covered with a layer of skin.

The two sat down, and Chen Shi kept looking towards the back courtyard, suddenly saying, "Master Gu, what would it look like if the Hall Master underwent Demon Transformation?"

Gu Yunshu shook his head: "I don’t know. I have been lying down for over twenty years, only hearing occasionally that Tiancheng might undergo Demon Transformation, and everyone in the hall saying the Hall Master is turning into an Evil Spirit, but I have never seen Tiancheng transform. With the Lady around these years, there’s never been any trouble."

Chen Shi smiled, saying, "He went to see Red Mountain Lady, and hasn’t come back yet, she must be suppressing his Demon Transformation. Do you want to go see?"

Gu Yunshu shook his head, saying, "No, I don’t. By the way, I haven’t asked for your name yet, benefactor."
