Chapter 308: Three Meridians

After Liu Xiaolou helped Qingzhu fill in three array loopholes, he wandered freely in Hengshan for three days, and then waited for a full harvest.

In front of the water curtain waterfall bamboo pavilion, Qingzhu threw three cultivation techniques to Liu Xiaolou: "See for yourself if they are useful."

Liu Xiaolou hurriedly took them, seeing a yellowed page with "Su Xin Dragon Flame Method" written on it, and was stunned: "The original?"

Qingzhu nodded: "Given by Sister Meng of the Guangtian Altar. I originally said that copying one volume would be enough, but she said this was a mental cultivation method collected by an Elder in the southeast twenty years ago. It was incompatible with the sect altar's mental cultivation method and could not be practiced, so she gave it directly to you."

The value of an original cultivation technique is naturally far superior to a copy, because no one knows what secrets are hidden in the original. Perhaps when practicing, you wake up one day and—whoa—it can give you a fright!

He opened it and looked for a while. The first six meridians of this "Su Xin Dragon Flame Method" were the same as his, and he was truly overjoyed.

Flipping back, a few short lines on the title page stated the origin of this cultivation technique—Secret Manual of the Su Xin Sect.

"Su Xin Sect?" Liu Xiaolou asked because he didn't understand.

Qingzhu lay sideways on the recliner, her feet raised, swaying back and forth: "Who knows? I haven't heard of it either. Perhaps it is the same as your sect and mine? It's just that the inheritance has gone extinct, right?"

Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and asked: "Did your Sister Meng ever say whether they received a Sect Master token or something when they received the mental cultivation method?"

Qingzhu said: "I asked, but no."

Liu Xiaolou was greatly regretful, and then asked boldly: "What do you use the Sect Master token of your Shenjiang Sect for?"

Qingzhu looked at him and asked: "What do you want to do?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "Sell it? I'll give you a high price?"

Qingzhu glared at him for a long time, then said: "This is a Sect Master token! A sect token! You want me to sell it to you? Are you stupid? What kind of wishful thinking are you having?"

Liu Xiaolou muttered a few words: "Anyway, you don't use it. Renting it to me is also fine. Should you consider it?"

Qingzhu turned over and sat up, reaching out to touch Liu Xiaolou's forehead: "You are truly burning with a high fever!"

Liu Xiaolou slapped her hand away: "Fine, fine, if you don't want to give it, forget it."

Qingzhu complained: "Xiaolou, you have changed. If it were before, you wouldn't have pushed my hand away; you would have climbed up my arm..."

She asked curiously: "Why are you collecting Sect Master tokens?"

Liu Xiaolou thought for a while, but still did not tell the truth: "Didn't you know before? I collected three Sect Master tokens back then. I have a hobby of collecting tokens. Are these two copied by you? The handwriting is very delicate."

Qingzhu rolled her eyes at him: "You even understand handwriting? My hands are sore from copying!"

The two copied books came from another altar among the three altars of Hengshan, the Dongling Altar.

Qingzhu is a famous array master and is like a sister to Altar Master Meng of the Guangtian Altar, so the arrays of the three altars of Hengshan are all requested for her to repair and perfect. After making the request to the Dongling Altar, the Dongling Altar gave her a lot of face and found two mental cultivation methods for her to copy.

One is the "White Rainbow Sword Scripture," and one is the "Five Thunder Method." Like the "Su Xin Dragon Flame Method," they were collected from outside. Although they are not the mental cultivation methods of the three altars of Hengshan, they are the foundation of a sect. The more mental cultivation methods there are, the greater the choice for introductory disciples—there is always one that suits you!

These two cultivation techniques both have the same first four meridians as Liu Xiaolou. For Liu Xiaolou, he no longer needs to practice them, but it does not affect him accepting the two cultivation techniques and transforming them into the foundation of the Three Mystical Sect.

Getting three cultivation techniques at once, especially the "Su Xin Dragon Flame Method," which has the same first six meridians as his and a higher compatibility than the "Ruyi Finger Art," he was full of harvest and Liu Xiaolou could not be more satisfied.

"Do I truly not need to spend spirit stones?" Liu Xiaolou asked: "Should I give you some spirit stones?"

Qingzhu waved her hand and said: "Are you generous now? Are spirit stones abundant? You had better save some. After Foundation Establishment, you should have realized the demand for spiritual energy. The further you go, the more terrifying it becomes."

Liu Xiaolou nodded and did not insist.

Since the two reunited, not a single word has been mentioned about how Liu Xiaolou reached Foundation Establishment. On this point, Liu Xiaolou thought and thought but could not figure out how to tell Qingzhu. To be honest, he did not want to deceive her, but he did not want to implicate her. Fortunately, Qingzhu did not mention it at all, which made him greatly relieved.

Besides this, the two also tacitly did not mention the Su family of the Divine Mist Villa, and did not talk about Liu Xiaolou's divorce letter. Regarding this question, Liu Xiaolou truly did not know how to bring it up. What he worried about most was that once this question was brought up, Qingzhu would leave without looking back, just like last time.

What Qingzhu cared about most and was most unconvinced by was her cultivation in arrays. She discovered that she could no longer suppress Liu Xiaolou. It was not just that Liu Xiaolou pointed out the reasons for the loopholes in her arrays, but also that when the two discussed arrays, many of Liu Xiaolou's understandings of arrays and his methods of refining and setting them up made her feel great pressure.

Especially one method of etching array plates, which made her feel incredible: "Quick, tell me, where did you get this method?"

Liu Xiaolou smiled and poured out his heart: "This is called the Heavenly Origin Beginning and End Method, which is the ancestral method of the Liu family in Bazhong. You can practice it like this: hold an egg in your hand at first, and after you feel the position, remove the egg..."

After Qingzhu learned it, she was greatly moved: "Two years ago, when I went to the Mount Siming to refine array plates, I met Master Diao. When he mentioned you by chance, he greatly praised your array cultivation. I didn't pay attention at the time. No wonder... could it be that your talent is in the way of arrays?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "The one who truly led me into the threshold of arrays was you. Thank you."

Qingzhu waved her hand: "If you have to say it like that, then I also have to thank you for my Foundation Establishment. There is no end to the thanks..."

Liu Xiaolou nodded: "Yes, there is no end to the thanks."

The two fell into silence at the same time. After a long while, Qingzhu said: "Sister Meng said that judging from your first three meridians, your sect's cultivation technique is somewhat similar to the Luo Fu lineage. You can make a trip to Luo Fushan. Whether it is the main mountain of the Luo Fu Sect, or the various branches of Luo Fu, or even the various loose cultivator families and sects that rely on Luo Fushan for cultivation, you can go and try. As long as you find a cultivation technique that has the same first seven or eight meridians as your Mystical Truth Scripture, you can practice it, and it will have no impact on your future Golden Core Great Dao. Sister Meng is, after all, a sect leader, so her words are credible."

Liu Xiaolou said: "Before I went south, Han Wuwang of the Dongyang Sect also said the same thing, so I am preparing to go to the Luo Fushan market to look around and strive to collect more. What about you?"

Qingzhu sighed: "I could have returned to Lianxi in two days, but you poked three loopholes for me. Although they are filled, I feel that the entire array needs to be reorganized and adjusted, otherwise problems will arise after long-term operation. I can't go anywhere this month."

Liu Xiaolou hesitated for a while and asked: "If there are any difficulties in arrays in the future, um um um, or insights, can I come to Qingzhu Garden to seek your advice?"

Qingzhu stretched: "Come. Do you know where it is? Walk sixty miles northeast from the Mount Siming, enter the mountain along the stream, and there is a bamboo forest. Alright, I am going up to Huiyan Peak, so I won't see you off."

Liu Xiaolou suppressed the joy in his heart, said goodbye, and left, walking lightly down the mountain.

Not long after walking out, Qingzhu suddenly chased after him, stopped above the mountain path behind him, and pulled a thick vine: "Elder Lu of Tianmu Mountain captured the Five Arrows of Xuan Yuan Mountain. Do you know about this?"

Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and asked: "Xuan Yuan Mountain? Where is it? I haven't heard of it."

Qingzhu smiled: "I haven't heard of it either... Go!" ===== CHAPTER 309 =====
