After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 385 Runes

"Xiao Linchuan, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Lin Chuan slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Li Yue's worried face.

At this moment, she held Lin Chuan tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with tears, and she kept stuffing pills into his mouth.

"Sister Li, don't cry. I'm fine."

Lin Chuan shook his head, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

This tempering was very different from the previous ones. Before, his consciousness was shattered by the black vortex, but this time, he was hammered hard again and again by the irresistible giant hammer.

What frightened him even more was that the excruciating pain continued until the third hammer fell, and only then did his consciousness finally return.

"Who's crying? Stop being sentimental. I'm just worried that if something happens to you, Xu Hanyi will come and get upset with me."

Li Yue let out a long sigh, raised her hand and gently wiped the cold sweat off Lin Chuan's face with her fingertips.

"I thought Sister Li was worried about being a widow."

Lin Chuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said half-jokingly.

"I... I'm not worried about that. I'm a ninth-grade alchemist. People are eager to hire me wherever I go. How could I possibly be a widow?"

Li Yue spat lightly and turned her head away, not daring to look Lin Chuan in the eye.

"Oh."

Lin Chuan looked calm and nodded indifferently, without any emotion on his face.

"You're angry?"

Li Yue frowned slightly and observed Lin Chuan's expression carefully.

"No, I just suddenly miss my master a little bit. After all, she will definitely remain a widow for me."

Lin Chuan looked calm, but there was a hint of melancholy in his tone.

"..."

"Tsk, with her personality, who would dare to be with her except you?"

Liyue curled her lips, then subconsciously tightened her grip around Lin Chuan. She leaned forward slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered her warm breath gently, "If anything happens to you, I'll be the first one to remarry. So, you'd better live well for me."

"Don't worry, I won't die with such a beautiful lady like Sister Li by my side."

Lin Chuan raised a smile and reached out to gently pat Li Yue's hand, as if to soothe her inner anxiety.

"Then what were you doing just now? I checked, and you didn't seem to have any injuries. Why did you look like you were in pain?"

Li Yue frowned slightly, her arms still tightly around Lin Chuan, her eyes full of confusion and worry.

"I'm practicing a secret technique to train my spiritual consciousness."

Lin Chuan explained softly, then took out the Spiritual Mind Tempering Technique from the storage space and handed it to Li Yue.

"A secret technique for cultivating spiritual consciousness? Did Xu Hanyi give it to you?"

Li Yue's tone was serious, her brows slightly furrowed.

"I got it by chance, what's wrong?" Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue with confusion.

"As a rule of thumb, before a cultivator reaches the Divine Transformation stage, their consciousness can only be nurtured with natural treasures. Only after reaching the Divine Transformation stage can they withstand the training of secret techniques."

"But now it seems that you are not within the scope of common sense."

Li Yue shook her head slightly, looking up and down at Lin Chuan with a hint of helplessness and emotion in her eyes.

"No one told me this at the time. After I got this secret technique, I started practicing it right away."

Lin Chuan scratched his head, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"How did Xu Hanyi become a master?" Li Yue frowned, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Actually, it's not Master's fault. I thought everyone practiced this way, and Master didn't know that I was practicing this secret technique." Lin Chuan explained softly.

But he didn't know that Xu Hanyi had already noticed something strange when he examined his soul.

However, there were so many things about him that were beyond ordinary people that Xu Hanyi mistakenly believed that he was born with a stronger spiritual consciousness than ordinary people, so he did not take this matter to heart.

"Keep this secret book to yourself. Don't give it to anyone except those you trust."

Li Yue looked serious, her eyes fixed on the secret book in Lin Chuan's hand.

"Isn't this secret technique very rare?"

Seeing Li Yue's serious face, Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Of course. The human race, even the Four Sacred Lands, only have a few copies of the secret technique for training the soul."

Li Yue nodded slightly, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

"But I see there are quite a lot of soul-related attack techniques, so why are there so few techniques for training the soul?"

Lin Chuan blinked, his face full of confusion.

"You've heard of the Immortal Realm, right? Rumor has it that there are many other worlds outside of it, and the secret technique for training spiritual consciousness comes from a world called the Underworld."

"The cultivators of the Netherworld mainly cultivate their spiritual consciousness. With such a powerful spiritual consciousness, even if your cultivation level is one realm lower than theirs, you will be silently wiped out."

"Later, it was said that a cultivator from the Underworld Realm was seriously injured and accidentally came to the Immortal Realm. He was then rescued by a mortal woman. Over time, they fell in love, and after his death, he left the secret technique of cultivating spiritual consciousness to the woman."

"In the end, it seems that the woman decided that instead of keeping it, it would be better to share it for the benefit of all living beings. So the technique ended up in the hands of various sects. Later, the various holy places in the lower realms also received the techniques passed down by the ancestors of the immortal world."

Li Yue finished speaking slowly, a hint of emotion in her eyes. If the rumors were true, the woman was most likely forced to hand it over.

"There are actually such rumors."

Lin Chuan looked at the Spiritual Mind Tempering Technique in his hand, his eyes full of amazement.

"Anyway, this secret technique should have been passed down from the immortal world. Just keep it well and don't reveal it to others."

Li Yue's eyes were full of seriousness and concern.

"Sister Li, do you want to practice? Although it hurts, the effect is very obvious."

Lin Chuan's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he looked at Li Yue sincerely.

"I am the Peak Master of Tianyao Peak. Since I know about this kind of secret technique, it proves that I have definitely practiced it. However, practicing this secret technique is too tiring for my spiritual consciousness. In addition, I cannot ascend to heaven now. I don't want to suffer this pain."

Li Yue shook her head slightly and rejected Lin Chuan's "invitation".

"Ok."

Seeing Li Yue's refusal, Lin Chuan didn't force it. He quickly placed the Spiritual Mind Refining Technique into his storage space. Then, his aura shifted slightly, and he reactivated his Spiritual Vision Eyes.

In an instant, the shadows of the sun and moon slowly emerged before his eyes, emitting a mysterious light. Lin Chuan's gaze, like a torch, followed the path he had come from, and in a moment, it landed on the stone gate.

When his eyes tried to pass through the stone gate, he suddenly felt the stone gate twisting, and then a rune appeared in Lin Chuan's sight.

The rune seemed to be drawn by flowing golden liquid, with winding lines that seemed to be following some ancient and mysterious trajectory.

In the center of the rune is a vortex pattern. Inside the vortex, there seem to be twinkling stars and the sun and moon rising and falling. If you look closely, you can seem to see the scene when the universe was first created.

"This is……"
