Chapter 974
"Now, this talent has provided powerful assistance for my future alchemy."
"Shushan gave this disciple the opportunity to fulfill my dreams, and I have always wanted to do something for Shushan."
"Now with this talent, walking the path of alchemy is perhaps this disciple's future."
"Being able to help Shushan and help all my fellow disciples in the capacity of an alchemist is also my honor."
After speaking, Bai Zhu looked solemnly at Ei.
"Many thanks, Head Seat Ei!"
"No need to thank me. It was your own resources and your own luck; this is what you deserve."
"That may be so, but if Head Seat Ei and all the senior sisters hadn't forged the Body-Refining Furnace, Bai Zhu would not have been able to fulfill my dream, nor would I have had this opportunity."
Bai Zhu sighed.
"It's just a pity that I am currently penniless and unable to thank everyone. Once I refine some pills later, I will send them over immediately."
Immortal Liuyun teased:
"Pills from Shushan's number one alchemist? Then I shall look forward to it."
"I dare not claim that; the number one alchemist is naturally the Sect Master. I still have a long way to go."
Bai Zhu laughed happily; it was clear that after his talent improved, he had become much more cheerful.
"So... this Body-Refining Furnace..."
862. Immortal Art, Great Luo Insight!
Bai Zhu himself wanted to ask how this Body-Refining Furnace would be handled, after all, everyone had seen its effects.
Although there were many constraints and the success rate wasn't high, the fact that it had the opportunity to improve a disciple's talent meant that even in Shushan, it could be called a supreme treasure.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Miss Ganyu arrived on a cloud from the horizon and slowly landed beside everyone.
Seeing this, everyone bowed slightly, and Ei said softly:
"Does the Sect Master have any arrangements?"
Miss Ganyu nodded slightly and smiled:
"The Sect Master has already learned that the refining of the Body-Refining Furnace was successful and specifically sent me to congratulate Head Seat Ei."
"This Body-Refining Furnace captures the creation of heaven and earth and possesses the power of a top-grade treasure; it can be a treasure of our Shushan."
Hearing Miss Ganyu convey Jiang Yan's meaning like this, Ei was also somewhat happy and said softly:
"The Sect Master is too kind. For our Shushan core, the effect of this Body-Refining Furnace is average, after all, our Shushan disciples are all people of outstanding talent..."
"It is truly a bit of a white elephant. Once I resurrect my sister's soul, I will hand it over to the sect; this object is of no use to me."
Miss Ganyu pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head.
She glanced at Otto and the others, then said softly:
"There are no outsiders here, and everyone is a member of Shushan, so there is no need to hide what the Sect Master asked me to convey."
"The true use of the Body-Refining Furnace was never to reverse talent or refine the acquired into the innate..."
"What you guessed about that former sect and the power that obtained the Body-Refining Furnace is true; it was indeed the three holy lands that destroyed them."
"The ones who took action were the third of the Shushan Seven Sages, Qingxu; one of the five Great Guardian Vajras of the Small Lei Yinsi, the Pudu Jin Gang Guardian; and Master Fuming, one of the four sages of the Confucian school of the Jixia Academy."
"These three were three half-immortals, that is, powerful beings who had transcended the peak of Void Refinement and Dao Integration and were only one step away from ascending."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Miss Ganyu in a daze, not knowing why she would suddenly say this.
"So, the Sect Master's meaning is..."
Miss Ganyu walked slowly toward the Body-Refining Furnace and said softly:
"If it were merely to improve the talent of ordinary people, it wouldn't be considered a good thing for the three holy lands."
"The disciples of the three holy lands have naturally powerful talent, so the effect of the Body-Refining Furnace is truly very average and not worth the attention of the three holy lands."
"But inadvertently, the former Elder Qingxu discovered the true secret of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."
As she spoke, Miss Ganyu looked toward Lady Ningguang and said softly:
"Twin Hands, Heavenly Record, Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, Six Storehouse Immortal Thieves, Spirit Restraint and General Command, Qi Body Source Flow, Wind Queen's Strange Gate, Great Luo Insight."
"Which of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques do you all think is the most core cultivation method?"
Furina scratched her head and said uncertainly:
"Is it... the Wind Queen's Strange Gate?"
"No, it's the Great Luo Insight, right?"
Lady Ningguang looked deeply at Miss Ganyu, and the latter asked in return:
"Why?"
"If I have to say, it's intuition. I simply feel that anything carrying the name 'Great Luo' must be extraordinary. Furthermore, I have even climbed the fourth floor of the Scripture Library and found all the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but I never found the Great Luo Insight."
Lady Ningguang explained softly, and Miss Ganyu nodded:
"That's right, it's normal that you couldn't find the Great Luo Insight, because the Great Luo Insight was never on the fourth floor of the Scripture Library, but on the fifth."
"The most mysterious fifth floor of the Scripture Library only contains ten cultivation methods."
"And the Great Luo Insight is one of them; it is a true foundation of the lower realm's Shushan and is a true immortal art..."
At this, everyone's expressions changed instantly.
"Immortal art?!"
863. Miss Ganyu: Covering the Changes of the Universe, Transforming Myself into a King
"The Great Luo Insight is an immortal art..."
Lady Ningguang looked at Miss Ganyu in shock, and after a moment of silence, she sighed:
"To be honest, I had considered this possibility before. After all, I found the other seven Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but I never found the eighth."
"But upon closer thought, I felt the possibility was low. Even a terrifying technique like the Wind Queen's Strange Gate is only Heaven-grade, so the Great Luo Insight, whose effects are unknown, shouldn't be better than the Wind Queen's Strange Gate."
"I even thought that Shushan didn't have the Great Luo Insight..."
Hearing this, Miss Ganyu pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head:
"How could we not have it? The Eight Extraordinary Techniques were originally the handiwork of the upper realm's Dao Court. As one of the leaders of the Daoist school in the upper realm, Shushan must possess them."
"So that's how it is."
Lady Ningguang nodded slightly and said with anticipation:
"So, what is the Great Luo Insight? Although immortal arts are not something we can study, but..."
"To be so valued by the Sect Master, it must not be something simple."
Miss Ganyu nodded, recalling what Jiang Yan had just said, and there was a sense of disbelief in her eyes.
"Speaking of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, one must start from the Daoist discussion meeting of the upper realm's Dao Court."
"That day, the Three Pure Ancestors were discussing the Dao here, and the three leaders of the Daoist school in the upper realm—Longhu, Shushan, and Taixuan—met."
"After the Three Pure Ancestors finished their discussion, the Taixuan Sect Master suddenly proposed creating a brand-new Daoist divine art."
"You all should understand that Daoism also has a type of divine art called the Eight Great Divine Incantations."
Zhongli's heart stirred, and he said with shock:
"The Eight Extraordinary Techniques are based on the Eight Great Divine Incantations of Daoism?"
"No, it should be said that they were developed with the Eight Great Divine Incantations as the goal."
Miss Ganyu shook her head and continued:
"The Eight Great Divine Incantations were passed down by the Three Pure Ancestors. To this day, in the entire Daoist school, only the Sect Master is proficient in all of them."
"The strongest Shushan Sect Master of the upper realm in the past only knew five."
"And the Eight Great Divine Incantations were created by nine peak Taiyi powerhouses from the three Daoist holy lands, in connection with many Taiyi powerhouses who had excellent relations with Daoism."
"A total of eighty-one Taiyi powerhouses jointly created this cultivation method."
"Twin Hands and Six Storehouse Immortal Thieves were modeled after the Longevity Great Emperor's Yi Wood Longevity Method."
"Divine Machine Hundred Refinements was based on the Nine Heavens Responding Thunder Sound Manifestation Heavenly Venerate's Thunder Fire Method."
"Spirit Restraint and General Command and Heavenly Record were modeled after the Mount Taishan Prefecture Lord."
"Qi Body Source Flow was modeled after the Ziwei Great Emperor."
"As well as the final Wind Queen's Strange Gate and Great Luo Insight."
Pausing, Miss Ganyu said in a deep voice:
"The Wind Queen's Strange Gate is derived from the innate one hundred and twenty-eight hexagrams, covering the changes of the universe and transforming oneself into a king."
"And this Strange Gate is derived from the Wind Queen, a minister of the Yellow Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Ancestors, and the Wind Queen's Strange Gate is derived from the incarnation of the ancient Great Luo."
