Bai Yao returned to Kunlun and immediately went to Taiqing Palace to see Taishang.
"Master, your disciple is back!"
Taishang glanced at Bai Yao and said, "You're back. Did you have fun?"
Bai Yao looked at Taishang with a guilty conscience and said with a smile, "Master, what are you saying? I just went home for a visit, I didn't go anywhere to play!"
Taishang shook his head. He didn't want to bother with this kid anymore. He had finally gone out, so he might as well let him play.
Seeing that Taishang wasn't going to pursue the matter, Bai Yao excitedly began to share some interesting things he had encountered on his trip with Taishang.
Taishang watched Bai Yao chatter like a leaky faucet, listening to him with a bitter smile.
When Bai Yao mentioned someone giving him a secret technique, he suddenly stammered, unsure whether to speak or not, and whether Taishang would blame him for casually accepting gifts.
Seeing Bai Yao's hesitant demeanor, Taishang suddenly said, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yao felt a little embarrassed. The two people who left had warned him not to let anyone else know, but Bai Yao thought that Taishang was not an outsider, so he told Taishang about it.
Upon hearing this, Taishang frowned slightly. Could such a good thing exist in the world?
"Where is that secret manual? Let me see it!"
Hearing this, Bai Yao immediately took out the *Huanxi Chan Fa* and handed it to Taishang. After obtaining the *Huanxi Chan Fa*, Bai Yao had been focused on his journey and hadn't had time to read it. He also leaned in to see what kind of secret technique the two people had said could quickly increase cultivation.
Seeing Bai Yao hand him a book and then lean in, Taishang handed the received secret manual back to Bai Yao.
"Here! Why don't I let you take a look first?"
Bai Yao scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "No! No! Master, you look first! You look first!"
Taishang glared at Bai Yao, thinking that this kid was becoming more and more ill-mannered.
Taishang withdrew his gaze from Bai Yao and then examined the secret manual in his hand. He didn't know what material the book was made of. Most cultivation techniques were now transmitted through divine sense. Taishang had never seen books from this era before.
If he hadn't seen this secret manual, Taishang would have thought that books were only invented by later generations of humans after the invention of papermaking. On the cover of the book, there were four gilded characters: "《欢喜禅法》".
Seeing the words "Huanxi" (joy), Taishang's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad premonition.
Taishang casually flipped through a few pages and saw many illustrations of couples. Taishang skimmed through them and suddenly felt his face flush and his heart race.
This was not a secret technique at all. It was practically a "yellow book" from later generations. This single secret manual contained almost all the positions Taishang had seen in later generations!
Taishang calmed his surging qi and blood, closed the *Huanxi Chan Fa*, and looked at Bai Yao with a dark expression.
Bai Yao's heart suddenly sank. He had a bad feeling. What exactly was in the *Huanxi Chan Fa* that made his master's face turn dark?
Bai Yao felt that the atmosphere was wrong. Just as he was about to think of an excuse to leave, Taishang suddenly shouted:
"Rebellious son! Who gave you this evil art? Have you read it?"
After speaking, Taishang didn't give Bai Yao a chance and immediately attacked, beating Bai Yao soundly. Each blow from Taishang made Bai Yao feel "half-dead and half-alive." Bai Yao never expected Taishang to have such a strong reaction. He had never personally punished him even when he had deliberately disobeyed him.
"Master! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
