Chapter 214: Where Did the True Scripture Go?

Ning Jiufan took the initiative to organize: "Fellow Daoists, why not come to my place to drink a cup of tea first?"

"That's fine, that's fine." Zheng Danlian nodded.

Ning Jiufan looked at Zhu Xuanji: "Lord Divine Catcher, the previous alliance was signed a bit too hastily. Why don't we talk while drinking tea?"

Zhu Xuanji smiled slightly: "Then Zhu will have to disturb you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by layers of floating clouds.

The magic treasure Long Juanfeng Cart was pressed against his chest, slowly rotating.

Under the effect of the magic treasure, a tornado formed in Unlike Ning Zhuo's middle dantian Qi Sea.

The tornado swept through the surrounding magic power, and after absorbing it, continuously ground and reduced it in the wind.

A large amount of impurities were destroyed, the mixed parts were cleared, and what remained were the more refined parts.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was now at the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refining, his Qi Sea was vast, and he had too much magic power.

He continuously activated the magic treasure for a good while, which made the feeling in his middle dantian a bit easier.

He originally had ten parts of magic power; after purification, six parts remained.

Of course, these six parts of magic power were still mixed, just to a much lesser degree than before, and could still be further purified.

"But this requires me to seek other methods; relying solely on this magic treasure, the Long Juanfeng Cart, can only achieve this much." Unlike Ning Zhuo knew this clearly.

The growth and purification of magic power correspond to quantity and quality, which are problems that cultivators cannot avoid and must always face and solve throughout their lifelong cultivation.

Unlike Ning Zhuo cultivated the three seas of essence, Qi, and spirit simultaneously; the situation in his Qi Sea middle dantian was considered the best, as he had this magic treasure, the Long Juanfeng Cart, to use.

As for the Essence Sea and Spirit Sea, he could only use the clumsy method of continuously consuming blood Qi and spiritual thoughts, then circulating his cultivation arts to produce new blood Qi and spiritual thoughts to perform purification.

"I should buy some Pure-One Pills." Unlike Ning Zhuo thought to himself.

This type of elixir is the most classic and also the most popular elixir for purifying cultivation.

Its scope of application covers the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit.

No matter which of the three dantian it is, it can take effect and perform corresponding purification.

Unlike Ning Zhuo practiced diligently for a good while, practicing until his mood became slightly irritable, only then did he stop the three-sect arts.

He took out the Five Elements Measuring Ruler, divided the five-element magic power into five single lines, and continuously attempted the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Technique.

Since he obtained this spell, he had been practicing it continuously. The amount of practice was the greatest among all his spells.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's progress in this aspect was also visible to the naked eye.

After practicing the spell for a period of time, Unlike Ning Zhuo turned back and resumed cultivating the Three Sects' Supreme Arts.

After several rounds like this, Unlike Ning Zhuo felt that his body had reached the limit of circulating the arts, only then did he truly finish his practice.

He also stopped practicing the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Technique, put away the Floating Cloud Scarf, and hid the Cloud-Hiding Bud in his mouth, appearing to have the cultivation of the third layer.

He left his residence, took four Foundation Establishment-level former deacon guards, and arrived at the Ning family grounds.

"I want to consult some classics." Unlike Ning Zhuo arrived at the Secret Book Building.

The Ning family's Book Building was open to the public, while the Secret Book Building was one level higher, facing the family elite.

Unlike Ning Zhuo certainly had the qualifications at this moment.

He entered the Secret Book Building and searched everywhere, while the four accompanying Foundation Establishment guards all revealed strange expressions.

It was all because what Unlike Ning Zhuo was flipping through were classics and secret records related to dual cultivation.

"Hahaha, Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo is already sixteen years old after all."

"That's right, he's going to grow from a boy into a man."

"However, back in the day, I started reading these when I was eleven."

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators sent voice transmissions privately.

Unlike Ning Zhuo consulted for several hours, then walked out of the Secret Book Building with his brows tightly furrowed and a face full of contemplation.

On the way back to his residence, he sat in the carriage, thinking the whole way.

After this consultation, he had a deeper understanding of dual cultivation.

"The most mainstream way of dual cultivation is Yin-Yang union."

"The male is Yang, the female is Yin; Yin and Yang converge, giving birth to the power of the Two Forms, which can transform the human body and elevate cultivation."

"But this method has huge drawbacks."

"Just as Boss Sun said, because one uses another person's Qi during cultivation, it leads to one's own Qi being impure."

"If one doesn't want to affect the foundation and the future, one must perform purification to remove the other person's Qi."

"In this way, after dual cultivation, one must perform a round of purification and refining. If one doesn't have good methods, when the results of dual cultivation are not great, it is instead worse than bitter cultivation and single refining."

Unlike Ning Zhuo also learned: the convergence of Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin achieves the best dual cultivation results.

However, in this way, the other person's Qi almost penetrates into the bone marrow and cannot be thoroughly removed; it is best to walk the path with one mind and form a Dao companion with the object.

"No wonder so many people become Dao companions!"

"However, once a Dao companion dies, the other party's cultivation will suffer a huge negative impact."

"The risk is too great!"

"It is simply not worth doing this."

Unlike Ning Zhuo would rather cultivate alone than ever want to take out Primordial Yang to unite, exchanging it for temporary rapid progress, and then burying huge hidden dangers for the future.

"My previous dual cultivation was just a shallow convergence of Yin Qi and Yang Qi, which is no problem."

"The other person's Qi obtained can be thoroughly eliminated after putting in enough effort."

"In addition, dual cultivation with nature, heaven-human resonance, is also a way with less foreign Qi."

Cultivators breathing in the Qi of heaven and earth, absorbing the Yang Qi of the sun and the Yin Qi of the moon, belong to this category.

"Even with heaven-human resonance, one needs to purify oneself."

"Is there a method that allows me to dual cultivate with myself? In this way, there would be no need for subsequent purification at all."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's idea was this: since dual cultivation with others has the sequelae of foreign Qi, then if he dual cultivates with himself, he can eliminate the sequelae from the root, and there would be no need for means like the Long Juanfeng Cart or Pure-One Pills at all.

This is theoretically completely feasible.

Because normal personal cultivation is just "Yang Qi moves and gives birth to Yin, Yin Qi is still and becomes Yang," thereby achieving Yin-Yang harmony.

Males are Yang-dominant, Yang Qi is more than Yin Qi, using Yang Qi to produce Yin Qi.

Females are Yin-dominant, Yin Qi is more than Yang Qi, using Yin Qi to produce Yang Qi.

"Is there a means that allows me to extract my own Yin Qi, put it into a mechanism component, and let it circulate through some kind of art to increase Yin Qi."

"When I need to dual cultivate, I extract this Yin Qi."

"Because Yin Qi originally comes from my own body and is one with me. Therefore, after dual cultivation, there is no need for the step of purification at all!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo subconsciously thought of mechanism creations.

It must be said that the previous dual cultivation brought Unlike Ning Zhuo huge inspiration and enlightenment.

Before the union, he wanted to make a Golden Core-level mechanism body for Yuan Dasheng to help himself make a breakthrough in magic arts.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had a quite tempting mechanism design inspiration—a mechanism puppet that can help cultivators cultivate faster!

"I have already walked through this path of Yuan Dasheng."

"Using the flesh and blood voluntarily contributed by the clansmen, using Yuan Dasheng's ability to cast the Magic-Dyed Blood Tendon Art, I can obtain a steady stream of essence blood."

"After purification, this essence blood is the essence treasure cultivation I gained out of thin air!"

"This Yin-Yang dual cultivation..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was still imagining it.

Among them, the biggest technical difficulty lies in how to make Yin Qi grow by itself!

"What if I make a puppet, refine out spirituality, and let it cast what it learned during its lifetime to increase Yin Qi?"

"If there is no suitable candidate to make into a puppet, I have to find a true scripture specifically used to increase Yin Qi."

"No."

"I cultivate the Three Sects' Supreme Arts; if the puppet uses another method to increase Yin Qi, and Yin Qi is not naturally increased, it has the nature of another method."

"If I absorb too much, I still have to perform purification."

"Unless..."

"I create a fourth set of arts according to the Three Sects' Supreme Arts, specifically used to increase Yin Qi!"

Thinking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head.

The method of cultivating three dantian simultaneously is already very rare and precious. According to his understanding of Yin and Yang and his understanding of the Three Sects' Supreme Arts, it is simply impossible to create a fourth set of arts.

"This path is not feasible." Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed, continuing to immerse himself in thought.

Ning Jiufan and Zhu Xuanji and the others' tea had already reached the third round.

Ning Jiufan held the mechanism demon general in his hand, using this as a major bargaining chip, demanding Zhu Xuanji's promise—that he would protect the Ning family, and even if they failed to seize the Lava Xian Gong in the future, he would need to arrange for the Ning family to migrate to another Immortal City.

And a more intelligent move by Ning Jiufan was to pull the Zhou and Zheng families in as well. Not to mention the exchange of interests between each other, Ning Jiufan hoped that Zhu Xuanji would have the same promise for these two families!

Zhu Xuanji pondered for a long time, calculating the price paid many times, only then did he nod with difficulty, indicating agreement.

Thus, the three families' Golden Cores were overjoyed and immediately signed a higher-standard alliance with Zhu Xuanji!

Zhu Xuanji paid a huge price and finally obtained the mechanism demon general.

"Contributing this, my status in the Lava Xian Gong will definitely have a qualitative change, similar to a leap!"

"Sigh, I also made a huge gamble!"

Zhu Xuanji bet that he would win.

In this way, he could obtain the strong support of the three major families at the critical moment of competing for the Xian Gong. And afterwards, having defeated the Meng family, he would not need to arrange for the migration of the Zhou, Zheng, and Ning families.

The demon general mechanism's appearance was ferocious and rough, but in reality, the interior of the mechanism was arranged precisely and rigorously, as if it were a human body.

Because it was severely damaged in many places, the mechanism could not be activated.

Therefore, Zhu Xuanji's next important task was to perform repairs.

Zhu Xuanji truly got the mechanism demon general into his own hands, and after carefully checking it once, his face changed drastically, his heart sinking to the bottom of the valley.

He stared at a piece of mechanism iron plate in his hand.

Blood Path Diagram Plate!

"This mechanism diagram plate is smooth; once, there should have been a true scripture recorded here."

"Where did the true scripture go?"

A true scripture is written by instilling true meaning.

Compared with ordinary scriptures, it can perfectly pass on the mysteries of the scripture, the meaning the original author wanted to express, to another person's heart without any loss.

The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao.

The expression of words and language is often quite empty and weak.

But not with a true scripture!

"Because a true scripture contains true meaning, it will transfer itself, as long as a more suitable host appears."

"Let me see..."

Zhu Xuanji cast the Heaven-Gold True Vision and also activated the Root-Tracing Art.

The next moment, he saw a scene from the past.

The battlefield was in chaos.

The mechanism demon general, under the control of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, was charging through the rolling beasts, regardless of its own safety.

In the end, it was caught in a flaw, defeated, and fell to the ground.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit retreated rapidly.

The mechanism demon general became spoils of war, passing through the hands of many apes. But none of them could comprehend the true scripture.

It wasn't until a young little ape was playing that it touched the mechanism demon general.

The true scripture on the diagram plate was triggered, immediately transferring from the iron plate and entering the little ape's body!

"Wait."

"This little ape looks a bit familiar!"

"Strange."

"Why do I have a vague sense of familiarity?"

Zhu Xuanji revealed a look of doubt. ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
