Chapter 107: Seven Apertures Exquisite Book, the Unfathomable Soul Secret
"By the way, there is an even more important secret manual in the Lu Family heritage, and that is the 'Seven Apertures Exquisite Book'."
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Sui's eyes.
Without a doubt, apart from the Second-tier Pill Master heritage, the most important heritage of the Lu Family was this 'Seven Apertures Exquisite Book'.
This was the important reason why the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Hongran, was able to rise up and promote to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator back then, despite being a Loose Cultivator with only a Five-element Spiritual Root and no sect affiliation.
It is said that Lu Hongran was merely an ordinary scholar in a mortal dynasty at the time.
By chance, he slipped and fell off a cliff, accidentally entering a certain Cave Abode.
It just so happened that he encountered a fallen expert within the Cave Abode and obtained the other party's heritage.
The most important part of it was this 'Seven Apertures Exquisite Book'.
This is a Soul secret technique for cultivating spiritual power, possessing infinite mysteries.
It is rumored that there exists such a unique constitution between heaven and earth, which is the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart.
Once one possesses this Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, one can communicate with all things in the world, and one's eyes can see through all illusions.
One can even possess a photographic memory and astonishing comprehension.
This secret manual is a spiritual secret technique created by a powerful Cultivator by simulating this special constitution.
The so-called Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart does not refer to eyes on the heart.
One must know that a normal person's heart has no eyes; once one possesses them, one is not far from death.
The so-called eyes refer to the Heart Eye.
That is to say, seven Heart Eyes are nurtured within the body, each containing incredible abilities.
If seven Heart Eyes are gathered together, one can perceive everything.
Lu Hongran of the past relied on this secret manual to condense one Heart Eye, and as a result, he gained the ability to distinguish the materials of all things and could see through the reality of any Treasure.
Relying on this ability, he entered and exited various Loose Cultivator Markets, constantly buying low and selling high, earning a large amount of Spirit Stones.
In no time at all, he had accumulated countless wealth, even enough to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill.
The result is imaginable; Lu Hongran logically became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
It is a pity that his aptitude was limited to this; condensing just one Heart Eye was his limit.
Wanting to condense a second Heart Eye was an impossible task.
In the past, Lu Hongran had also imparted this secret manual to the Lu Family descendants.
However, among the Lu Family, basically no one was able to reach the Beginner level, let alone condense a Heart Eye.
"This Lu Hongran actually had such a miraculous encounter."
Zhou Sui exclaimed in wonder.
He only had to take one look at the introduction above to know that this cultivation technique was extraordinary; the secret manuals in the entire Immortal Cultivation World that could compare to this spiritual secret technique could be counted on one's fingers.
It might even be a one-of-a-kind cultivation technique.
He just hadn't expected that Lu Hongran would have such a miraculous encounter.
Sure enough, every Loose Cultivator who manages to rise up possesses unusual opportunities.
Otherwise, without resources, without talent, and without a master to guide the way, how could one succeed in Foundation Establishment?
However, it is a pity that this cultivation technique is incomplete, with only the first three levels of the technique.
Even if one cultivates to the end, one can only condense three Heart Eyes.
Of course, for an ordinary Cultivator, this is completely sufficient.
Even if one can only condense one Heart Eye, for a Cultivator, it counts as gaining an extra innate ability.
"Great, if I can learn this cultivation technique, wouldn't I be able to reach a higher level?"
Zhou Sui was very excited, feeling his blood boiling.
Although he possessed powerful spiritual strength and a naturally strong Soul, he had always lacked a spiritual secret technique.
The appearance of this 'Seven Apertures Exquisite Book' was like providing charcoal in snowy weather.
If he could learn this secret technique, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
Thinking of this, he carefully read through the secret technique, wanting to see if he could learn it with his current level of comprehension.
Half an hour later.
"Damn it, what kind of bullshit technique is this? Is this something a human can learn?"
Zhou Sui's face turned green.
He had originally wanted to try it himself to see if he could learn it without the power of the Book Gu.
But after carefully reading the contents of the secret manual, he discovered that this technique was simply too perverted.
Because the method of cultivating this technique is to use the power of Spiritual Sense to condense a Heart Eye deep within one's own heart.
Moreover, this Heart Eye cannot be fabricated at will; its precision must be exactly the same as a real eye.
It is even a 3D stereoscopic model.
This is equivalent to using the power of one's own Divine Sense to recreate an eye.
One must know that the eye is such a precise part of the human body; it is no exaggeration to call it the most precise part of the Human body.
Even the slightest error would cause the Heart Eye to be destroyed, and all previous efforts would be wasted.
Once the structure of the Heart Eye is destroyed, it will cause a backlash of Spiritual Sense, severely damaging the Soul.
Over time, the Cultivator would suffer Soul collapse and die.
In the past, there were not a few people in the Lu Family who suffered Soul collapse and became lunatics because they cultivated this technique.
In the end, many Lu Family descendants were terrified and dared not cultivate it at all.
They even shelved this technique and forbade other Lu Family descendants from cultivating it.
Although sealing away this supreme secret technique is truly a bit of a waste of a precious object, there is no other way; if one does not have sufficient talent, it is simply impossible to learn.
Even becoming a Beginner is an impossible task.
"No wonder no one can learn it; it would be a miracle if anyone could."
"This is a cultivation technique that at the very least only a Golden Core, or even a Nascent Soul level Cultivator, could learn."
"Then how on earth did Lu Hongran manage to learn it?"
Zhou Sui felt quite emotional.
He understood very well why the descendants of the Lu Family were unable to learn this cultivation technique.
In all likelihood, there might not even be a single Cultivator within a radius of tens of thousands of miles who could learn this "Seven Apertures Exquisite Book".
After all, to learn this technique, one first needs an extremely powerful Soul, and then great comprehension; only then is there a possibility of learning it, otherwise failure is inevitable.
As long as one fails to outline the Heart Eye a few times, the Soul will suffer severe damage.
The reason Lu Hongran was able to learn it, besides his talent, was mainly because he received the direct empowerment from that deceased mysterious Cultivator; otherwise, he would have had no way to become a Beginner either.
"Forget it, I still have to use a cheat."
Zhou Sui thought for a moment and decided to give up on his own efforts; isn't it better to rely on the power of the Book Gu?!
If he were to rely on himself, he might not even be able to become a Beginner until the day he died.
Swish, swish~~
The Book Gu pounced forward again and devoured this Inheritance Jade Slip.
Instantly, a massive amount of information flooded into the depths of his sea of consciousness; this was everything regarding the "Seven Apertures Exquisite Book", which allowed him to reach the level of photographic memory.
He perceived that a total of three patterns had appeared, and each pattern represented one Heart Eye.
The structural composition of the Heart Eye appeared on them.
Through such a structure, one can outline the same Heart Eye in the depths of one's own heart.
If the outlining is successful, that is equivalent to condensing a Heart Eye.
