Chapter 103

"Gold-Stone Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"It looks like it can be preserved for a long time; I just don't know who they are trying to fish for."

Jiang Ding complained.

This is too obvious; I wonder who is setting the bait, and whose fish would be so stupid.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he does not need it.

If one could forge a Daoist-level foundation of the Nine Great Immortal Sects and still needed to take pills to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, that would be a humiliation.

Along the way, Jiang Ding restrained his aura and traveled at a speed that was neither fast nor slow; the internal power of the twelve regular meridians in his body circulated, rushing into the already opened Ren and Du meridians, continuously nourishing and tempering all the large and small meridians.

"《Green Spirit Heaven-Merging Method》, cultivation requirements: spiritual soul must be at least twice as strong as an ordinary person, and one must have supreme comprehension and internal qi perfection. After successful cultivation, one can perceive the realm of 'Heaven and Man as One'; every move and style will be blessed by the momentum of heaven and earth, greatly increasing its power..."

"The momentum of heaven and earth: the terrain rises and falls; those who are low go against the current, achieving half the result with twice the effort; those who are high go with the current, achieving twice the result with half the effort..."

Jiang Ding crushed the wooden book in his hand, letting the wooden shavings scatter as he pondered incessantly.

He could not reach the required spiritual soul strength; it was no different from an ordinary person's. Everything else was fine; his internal power far exceeded the internal qi perfection state defined by the Jianghu of the Yue Kingdom, and he also had some confidence in his comprehension.

"... Heaven and Man as One..."

"Does this mean adjusting one's own spiritual soul frequency to reach a frequency similar to the spiritual energy in the environment, thereby drawing the spiritual energy of the same frequency to follow in every move and style? Is that the meaning?..."

"The momentum of heaven and earth: the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is in a state of constant motion. When many spiritual energy particles move in the same state, they form an 'ocean current'. Attacking along the movement of the ocean current might yield more amplification..."

Many profound and mysterious Daoist technical terms from the Green Ox Palace, which only elders and other high-level members could interpret, took on another appearance in his mind.

"Does the library have this kind of technique? It should, right."

Jiang Ding thought while traveling, and he continued to travel for another seven or eight hours until the sky was pitch black before he left and returned home.

Outside, it was exactly eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning, and Lin Wanqiu had already gone to work.

"Didn't you go out to play with your classmates?"

Jiang Ding went to the kitchen to wash the potatoes, tomatoes, green onions, and other vegetables he bought in the morning, while casually asking Jiang Yuan, who was watching cartoons.

"How could I be in the mood!"

Jiang Yuan slumped on the sofa, listlessly saying: "Thinking that I have to go to tutoring classes after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month makes me feel that life is full of darkness and there is no more hope."

"Then you can slowly be dark."

Jiang Ding pressed his hand on the sword hilt.

Clang!

The sword left its sheath; three potatoes and tomatoes placed randomly were instantly shredded into silk or sliced into pieces. With a few more sword strikes, the beef was sliced thin, and the green onions were cut into sections.

Today's dishes were potato-braised beef and tomato-fried eggs.

Adding oil, tossing the wok, the rich aroma spread everywhere.

After eating, Jiang Ding organized his sword, talisman sword, pistol, and other items, and stepped out of the house.

"Wait,"

Jiang Yuan, who was washing dishes, suddenly became excited: "You are in such a hurry to go out; are you going to see your girlfriend? Take me with you!"

"Girlfriend? You won't see one in this lifetime."

Jiang Ding paused his steps and asked: "I'm going to the library; do you want to go? Reading more books on martial arts and immortal arts, and understanding them, is very helpful for academic performance."

"Forget it then, you go."

Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes and continued washing her dishes.

Rongcheng Library.

The Divine Wood Futianrong, where the Rongcheng Array Spirit computer host is located, remained lush and imposing; the passage of time did not bring it any signs of withering. The emerald bird couriers on the tree chirped, and from time to time, they flew out in groups to work as couriers.

Jiang Ding chose an empty reading room and entered terms like 'Heaven and Man as One' and 'Momentum of Heaven and Earth' into the computer.

Rows of information refreshed, similar to the Hundred-Step Flying Sword, and it had not reached the top even by page 99.

Clicking on the first line, a thesis by a Ph. D. from the Daoist Department of Qianling University, 《Exploration of the Concept and Principle of Heaven and Man as One》.

"... The spiritual energy of every world exists in a kind of 'spectrum' and 'frequency'. Subdivided into every individual region, whether it is a lake, a mountain forest, or a desert, their spiritual energy 'frequencies' are all different."

"If an immortal cultivator or martial artist can adjust their own spiritual soul 'frequency' to a state similar to the environment, they can more or less trigger spiritual energy resonance, thereby borrowing power..."

"... Specific methods mostly use hypnosis, visualization, and other methods to adjust one's spiritual soul frequency; the most important thing, of course, is to first observe the 'spiritual energy frequency' of the environment, and then make targeted adjustments..."

"... The Immortal Sect has a huge deficiency in this aspect. It seems that immortal cultivators who use cold weapons are more likely to achieve this, even when it comes to high-tier immortal cultivators. The reason is unknown; perhaps exploration is not enough, and the fundamental principles are not studied deeply enough..."

Jiang Ding flipped through many books in a row; most were similar principles, and many places were more detailed.

In short, almost all the books were studies based on the techniques of captured outer-realm cultivators and martial artists, and there was no breakthrough progress.

Jiang Ding recorded the book with the most citations and reads, 《Heaven and Man as One and Spiritual Soul Frequency Adjustment Visualization Method》.

If the spiritual soul does not reach twice the level of an ordinary person, it is impossible to cultivate at all.

However, as long as he forges a Daoist sword based on the Taiqing Divine Iron, a treasure of the spiritual soul, his spiritual soul will skyrocket in a short time and reach the requirement.

In addition, one can also use instruments to measure the precise spiritual energy frequency of this region, so that cultivation will be faster.

Of course, this speed is also relative; it is still a region that only heaven-gifted cultivators can step into.

"《Green Spirit Heaven-Merging Method》..."

Jiang Ding's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and lines of spiritual text were typed into the document. Soon, seven or eight minutes passed, and a complete secret manual for Heaven and Man as One was successfully uploaded.

The Array Spirit quickly completed the judgment.

"Ding! You have uploaded new knowledge 《251 Interface - Heaven and Man as One Method - Green Spirit Heaven-Merging Method》, rewarding 352 points."

These points indicate that the 《Green Spirit Heaven-Merging Method》 has some unique knowledge, but its value is not high.

Jiang Ding, however, was very happy.

Having read so much knowledge about immortal arts in the library for free, today he was finally able to add an insignificant tile to it.

Thinking about it, there must have been many predecessors of the Immortal Sect who had this kind of joy like him.

Returning home, after eating, Jiang Ding returned to the depths of the forest by the official road again.

After changing the drone battery and identifying the direction, he tapped his feet and continued to rush toward Yuejing at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, with internal power constantly tempering and nourishing his meridians in his body.

Seven days later,

Jiang Ding glanced at the direction of Yuejing but did not head there; instead, he walked straight toward a small mountain in the east.

Unlike immortal cultivators.

Large martial arts sects are highly dependent on places where large populations gather, using this as a foundation to collect the large amounts of meat, medicinal materials, and disciples with excellent qualifications needed for martial arts practice.

Any sect that stays away from prosperous places will decline rapidly within ten or twenty years.

Surrounding Yuejing, martial arts sects of all sizes are distributed.

Among them, the most famous place naturally includes the mountain gate of the Gold Blade Sect, one of the six major sects.

Gold Blade Mountain!

This place is where he stored the Taiqing Divine Iron.
