Chapter 813: Chapter 388: The Rat Appears! Success and Failure Both Owe to Divine Techniques

Zhao Jie Xuan’s physical body is unique.

Years ago, under Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Fan, in order to avoid a tribulation, forcibly performed the Divine Splitting Technique, splitting his Primordial Spirit into three. The Good God stayed in his original body, the Evil God was intercepted by the Yin Mountain Ghost King Xiong Sanqi and offered to the Xiong Family.

Only the Malicious God wandered outside and, in the dark, he found that physical body. After ten years of nurturing, it had long been perfectly compatible.

After the victory at the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Zhang Fan successfully completed Divine Fusion and left Zhao Jie Xuan’s physical body in Guixi Province, entrusting Lin Jianyue to preserve it.

A physical body that has lost its Primordial Spirit is like the living dead, yet it was nevertheless a body Zhang Fan himself once used, so he could not simply burn it away.

In reality, Lin Jianyue was engaged in the medical pharmaceuticals business, possessing the best organ freezing and preservation techniques, and could properly preserve that physical body.

This ideal body of Ming Shenshou opened a new perspective for him. The Daoist Sect’s cultivation, with its mysterious Primordial Spirit, could even travel a thousand miles by day and roam the spirit in all directions, as described by traveling from North Sea in the morning to Cangwu in the evening.

However, the physical body is greatly limited by space, this is the fetter of being among the Red Dust of the mortal world.

Having an extra physical body means having another chance to escape, another life, since the Primordial Spirit is the essence. As long as it can be preserved, nothing else needs to be relinquished.

Not to mention, Zhao Jie Xuan’s physical body is perfectly compatible, allowing him to exert one hundred percent of his power.

"I’ll have to ask Lin Jianyue to bring Zhao Jie Xuan’s physical body over," Zhang Fan mused.

When the Primordial Spirit leaves the physical body for a long time, not only will body functions degrade, but its compatibility with the Primordial Spirit will also decrease.

Below High Skill level, if the Primordial Spirit leaves the body for too long, the body will completely perish, and the Primordial Spirit will become a stray ghost.

"Do you think there are experts in the Daoist Sect who refine ideal bodies?" Zhang Fan suddenly asked.

Even if an ordinary person’s physical body is compatible with a Primordial Spirit, it requires special Secret Technique refinement to be usable.

"What do you think?" Li Yishan replied nonchalantly.

"You can search online to see how many people go missing each year."

"That number will definitely be eye-opening, and that’s just from the data available."

"Don’t assume that these things don’t happen even in this era, anything is possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan fell silent. He suddenly recalled a story he read in a forum back in college. It said that the data from ordinary people’s health checks would be uploaded to a database, and if a prominent person needed organ transplantation, the database would automatically match and filter.

Once someone matched, they would disappear in reality.

Zhang Fan had also seen videos where, in broad daylight, two or three tough men would get out of a car and snatch someone directly.

At the time, he wondered, in this era, where surveillance is everywhere, were these people crazy?

Thinking about it now, irrational things often hide rational explanations.

Primordial Spirit compatibility and organ compatibility are actually the same concept.

"Law is without good and evil; people have right and wrong... Mortal Red Dust is like a Yin-Yang Fish, with black inside white and white inside black," Li Yishan sneered.

The world says that the Wuwei Sect’s refining and nourishing of Primordial Spirits for cultivation is an evil practice.

But are there people in the Daoist Sect who rely on refining and nourishing Primordial Spirits to practice Great Skills and improve their cultivation?

The innate human nature is black and white.

When falling into the Red Dust, it’s about blending the black and white within the chaos.

"Ideal body..."

Zhang Fan furrowed his brow, and an image of a person involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Li Changgeng!

Logically, during the Hundred Thousand Mountains incident, he personally witnessed Li Changgeng’s form and spirit being entirely extinguished. Both his physical body and Primordial Spirit were obliterated, leaving not a trace. Hence, he should have been as dead as possible.

But at Zhongnan Mountain, Bai He’s remarks to Yan Fei made Zhang Fan deeply suspicious of Li Changgeng’s death.

If he remained alive despite that, it would be troublesome.

Time and again, that would mean fate stretches on, and fortune would be inclined.

"Actually, the most perfect ideal body in this world isn’t a human body."

Li Yishan’s tone shifted suddenly.

"What is it?"

"Innate Spirit Embryo!" Li Yishan’s lips slightly parted as he uttered these four words.

Formed by the work of Heaven and Earth, nurtured by the essence of Mountains and Seas, akin to the Primordial Spirit, innately formed, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold better than Postnatal human bodies.

If using an Innate Spirit Embryo as an ideal body, false becomes true, and true turns false.

"Innate Spirit Embryos are too rare," Zhang Fan shook his head.

These embryos are formed by great providence, each appearance accompanied by immense tribulations, and for this reason, throughout history, those truly born can be counted on one hand.

"Indeed, but there are quite a few semifinished products." Li Yishan said firmly.

"Semifinished products?" Zhang Fan felt a stirring in his heart.

Before Innate Spirit Embryos truly formed and were discovered prematurely, or those suffering tribulations upon birth, are considered semifinished products.

Strictly speaking, that Innate Spirit Embryo at Toad Treasure Mountain is considered a semifinished product.

Semifinished Innate Spirit Embryos are nearly grown but haven’t developed self-awareness, making them best suited to refine into Body Acupoints.

"Who can be so extravagant as to use an Innate Spirit Embryo to refine an ideal body?" Zhang Fan shook his head.

If one could indeed be so extravagant, the physical body would be flawless, even abandoning the original body would be conceivable. If both body and Primordial Spirit were innate, how terrifying would that be?

"These treasures are indeed one in ten thousand; surely the White Crane Temple possesses them." Li Yishan said gravely.

"White Crane Temple!?" Zhang Fan’s gaze slightly narrowed, nodding.

White Crane Temple is not among the Ten Great Daoist Mountains, but its standing can compare, and even surpass them.
