Chapter 82

After entering the Little Hot Spring, He Xiaoyao no longer worried about danger, focusing instead on his cultivation and the study of formations and talismans. Remembering how he had instinctively used his feet to channel the Yin-Yang Formula to strike and capture the black-clad intruder, he practiced applying the technique through his left foot. By now, he had cultivated enough to manifest the Three Yangs and Seven Yins, producing a gas cluster that was more blue than red. It was larger than his palm and could be projected up to seven feet. The gas clusters emitted from his feet were relatively larger but had a shorter range—only three to four feet—as he was not yet accustomed to them. His feet, after all, were less dexterous than his hands. He was patient; as his proficiency grew and his True Qi became more abundant, the power would naturally increase. He then turned his attention to the Five Elements Formation. Using his newly purchased cinnabar, yellow paper, and brush, he meticulously crafted numerous Five Elements talismans. He built five stone pillars, each three feet high and spaced three feet apart, painting them blue, red, yellow, white, and black respectively. He affixed five wooden, fire, earth, metal, and water talismans to each corresponding pillar.
