Chapter 529

Qian Chen killed the old servant casually before turning his head and waving his sleeves to undo the seal on the youth.

The blue-shirted youth's body suddenly relaxed and he fell to the ground, but the corner of his eye saw that the Flower Fox Marten, which was out of its mind, curled up in the corner. Even though it was still in the 'drunk poison', it relied on the instinct of a small animal to tremble, not daring to act rashly.

Qian Chen was about to wave his sleeves and transform back into a spirit butterfly to leave, but heard the youth who had suddenly woken up bow and say: "Senior, please stay! Senior, please stay!"

Hearing this, he flicked his sleeves, rolled up the youth, and the two flew to a small lake nearby.

At the moment the youth spoke, the Flower Fox Marten had already fallen over, exposing its snow-white belly, its four limbs still twitching slightly, as if dead. Seeing Qian Chen carrying the youth and flying away, it suddenly flipped over, spread its legs and wanted to flee into the distance.

But there was a wisp of purple smoke left by Qian Chen's flight, which at this time transformed into a silk ribbon, tied it up, and pulled it into the distance together.

Arriving at the lakeside, Qian Chen reached out and pointed, put the youth down, and stuffed the Flower Fox Marten over. The youth received the furry ball in a flurry, and after seeing clearly what it was, his whole body stiffened!

Immediately, he discovered that the ferocious Flower Fox Marten was now more obedient than a cat, lying in his arms with its body still trembling slightly.

The youth touched its fur, felt the pitiful trembling in his palm, and suddenly laughed, petting it openly.

Seeing Qian Chen standing not far away, the youth bowed respectfully and said: "Are you the Senior who bestowed the opportunity upon my uncle?"

Qian Chen smiled: "You are quite clever. That's right, it's me! Why? Do you also want that Gan Li Seven Treasures Flame Light Pill?"

The youth muttered to himself: "So the thing that harmed my uncle's life and made me unable to have peace was actually a spiritual pill." He looked at Qian Chen pitifully, but decisively bowed again and said: "Lan Jiu does not dare to have this thought, I only ask Senior to save my life!"

Qian Chen scanned behind him and smiled: "Are you afraid that little maid Huayang will dare to harm you again?"

"The junior's aptitude is low and my cultivation is meager. Even if she doesn't harm me today, she will harm me tomorrow... I only ask Senior to open up a path for me, so that when I come to this world, I won't end up with nothing!" The youth kowtowed respectfully.

The Flower Fox Marten hid in his arms, and seeing this scene, it also lay obediently on the ground.

Just because the Ear-Dao God was baring its teeth behind Qian Chen, looking angrily at the little marten.

"You want to seek the Dao from me?" Qian Chen touched his chin and smiled: "Very well, just now I didn't act immediately, but it was also a test for you. Without me acting, you were able to kill two people in return. I will allow you to ask two questions! If you had also killed that Penetrating Law old servant, what would it matter if I gave you the Gan Li Seven Treasures Flame Light Pill?"

Hearing this, the youth immediately raised his head, revealing great surprise, and replied: "Thank you, Senior, for imparting the Dao!"

"Imparting the Dao is not necessarily true. I myself have not yet reached the Great Dao and am still groping on the path of the Dao, so how could I have the ability to impart the Dao. It's just answering two of your questions!"

"Speak! What is your first question?"

If the youth had begged for spiritual pills, magic seals, or two powerful magic artifacts, Qian Chen, considering the previous connection with Daoist Shangrong, would have bestowed them casually.

Even if he shamelessly begged for that Gan Li Seven Treasures Flame Light Pill, Qian Chen would not be willing to benefit clowns like Lady Huayang, and would give him a chance. As for whether he could win it, it would depend on himself.

But this youth is also interesting. In the previous battle, he was full of wit and used many means, which had a bit of Qian Chen's former style. He opened his mouth to beg for the Great Dao, and this ambition is also quite extraordinary.

In Qian Chen's bones, he really has the quality of the Supreme Dao of being fond of being a teacher. Seeing him ask about the Great Dao, he was not stingy with guidance.

The blue-shirted youth hurriedly said: "The junior's aptitude is inferior. Since entering the Dao, I have been diligent and hardworking, but my progress has been mediocre. My peers have all cast their Dao foundations, while I relied on my uncle to just enter the sect. May I ask Senior, with my aptitude, how can I cultivate the Dao?"

Qian Chen was slightly stunned and thought: "How to seek the Dao with inferior aptitude? I have never thought about this kind of question carefully. After all, my origin is an innate spiritual object, the Supreme Three Treasures. Since waking up from ignorance, the path of the Dao has been visible, so I have never really had this kind of predicament!"

He lowered his head and pondered slightly before saying: "High or low aptitude is an obstacle before Core Formation. After Core Formation, the requirements for mind and enlightenment are even higher than aptitude."

"If you are asking about aptitude as in root bones, I have a few methods here. If you are asking about talent and enlightenment..." Qian Chen frowned slightly and sighed: "If a person is as dull as a stubborn stone, even with a hundred kinds of help, can he go down the wrong path? And those with unstable minds and poor temperaments are even less worth cultivating. With such inferior aptitude, besides deeply grinding away those stubborn evils with great perseverance and being unwavering, there is simply no other way!"

The blue-shirted youth was stunned, then said: "Then the junior's aptitude, I wonder where it is poor..."

"Your enlightenment is not bad, otherwise you wouldn't have passed my test. As for your mind, you haven't settled it yet, but daring to ask about the Great Dao also shows a bit of spirit. For characters like the little maid Huayang, I don't bother to pay attention to them." Qian Chen nodded.

"Then the junior is asking about root bone aptitude!"

"This is easy..." Qian Chen raised his hand to summon him forward, touched his few bones, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, the root bones are not good, but in that case, I just need to change a few bones for you!"

"Change bones!" The youth was scared pale and thought: "Can bones also be changed?"

Qian Chen saw his strange expression and asked: "Why, afraid? Bone-changing is a method to thoroughly change root bones. If you are timid, I have a Yi Ding Pill, which was used by ancient Daoist sects to change the root foundation of the tripod for disciples with poor root bones. If you take it, you can also change your root bones and it won't hinder your cultivation."

The youth asked curiously: "In that case, what is the difference between the bone-changing method and the Yi Ding Pill?"

"The Yi Ding Pill is to change the tripod, a spiritual pill that makes the physical body more suitable for the cultivation technique, and it is also used to consolidate your own foundation. The bone-changing method is to shatter your current foundation and thoroughly reshape it. If you ask about the difference? Actually, there is not much difference!" Qian Chen said smilingly.

The youth inexplicably understood the implication of his words and whispered: "The Yi Ding Pill is to reinforce my current foundation, while the bone-changing method is to thoroughly destroy the foundation and open up a new situation? In that case, naturally, a thorough change can build a more solid foundation. When I originally cast my foundation, I was greedy for spiritual pills, and the cultivation technique I practiced was not very good, so the foundation I cast was already unbearable. No matter how I reinforce it, it's just barely smearing it!"

At this point, the youth firmly kowtowed and said: "Please impart the bone-changing method to me, Senior!"

Hearing this, Qian Chen nodded secretly. This bone-changing method is the method of planting spiritual roots. It's just that after Qian Chen's profound realization, he had other ideas, wanting to use external objects to make up for his own deficiencies.

This time, besides the spiritual root method, he realized a Heaven-Mending Creation Technique from the Jin Dan Great Dao. He had been itching to try it for a long time, and it just so happened that this person bumped into him, so he tricked him into trying it.

This method is indeed a Great Dao, and it won't make him suffer.

"You must know that for any cultivator, only after Core Formation can they be considered to have stepped onto the path of the Dao. Why do you think this is?" Qian Chen rolled up his Flying Cloud Pocket, took the youth, and drifted slowly toward the pavilion where he was temporarily staying.

The youth said ignorantly: "Is it because of the saying 'Once a Jin Dan is swallowed into the abdomen, my life is decided by me, not by Heaven'?"

"In the Central Lands, Core Formation is divided into nine ranks, each corresponding to a different future. Besides the Jin Dan being the condensation of life, it is also because of the seeds of divine ability. Only a first-rank Jin Dan will have the seeds of great divine ability, and in the future, one can rely on the Jin Dan to cultivate the prototype of a great divine ability. And after cultivating a great divine ability, the spirit manifests based on the divine ability, which is the Dharma Image and Dharma Body. This is the cultivation path of Penetrating the Law! The various realms of ancient cultivation—Sensing, Qi Refinement, Penetrating the Law, Core Formation, Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit—are actually all paths of the Great Dao!"

"Qi Refinement was anciently called Qi Refiner, the most ancient cultivator, who could shrink and grasp the sun and moon, manipulate the universe, and reach the heavens with just one breath!"

"Sensing is a divine cultivation method, relying on the power of innate gods, sensing and communicating with the divine, attaining longevity and immortality!"

"The Jin Dan Great Dao is the Supreme Orthodoxy, directly entering the Dao Lord. Yin Spirit was anciently called Ghost Cultivation, Yang Spirit is God Cultivation..."

"And Penetrating the Law is cultivating divine ability. From one technique to penetrate one law, from one law to name one Dao. Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows Dao, Dao follows Nature!"

"Ancient Penetrating Law cultivators did not cultivate fundamental techniques, but directly cultivated magic techniques, using their own origin qi, relying on external objects, ghosts and gods, talismans, and predecessors to directly cultivate a magic technique, naturally possessing magic power and stepping into the Penetrating Law realm. Then they would cultivate magic technique after magic technique, and their magic power would continuously increase. Each magic technique is a foundation."

"Until several, dozens, or hundreds of magic techniques are fused to cultivate a heaven-shaking magic technique, that magic technique will transform into a seed of divine ability, equivalent to stepping into the Core Formation realm. Then, using this divine ability as a foundation, cast the shell of the spirit, which is the Dharma Image. When the divine ability shell is completely Mahayana, one can even discard the physical body, which is the Dharma Body realm. Finally, the Dharma Body and spirit fuse into one, achieving the immortal Primordial Spirit!"

"The Daoist sect's talisman-granting method, the overseas Nascent Soul new method, and the Buddhist sect's Golden Body realm have all borrowed from this kind of ancient Penetrating Law cultivator who cultivates divine ability."

"After I came overseas, I discovered that the new method has borrowed a lot from ancient Penetrating Law cultivators. After the new method cultivator's internal pill is polished to perfection, the pill can break to form an infant, where the Nascent Soul is a shell of origin qi cultivated by the Jin Dan's life-bound divine ability."

"Therefore, in the late Nascent Soul stage, one will achieve the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, which is no different from ancient Penetrating Law cultivators. And Soul Transformation cultivators also have Dharma Bodies. Therefore, the fundamental technique cultivated by the overseas new method is equivalent to a life-bound magic technique, and the various magic techniques recorded in the technique are actually the components of this life-bound magic technique. When Core Formation arrives, you all fuse these life-bound magic techniques to cultivate a prototype of divine ability, which is your internal pill."

"It's just that your life-bound magic techniques have fused Qi Refinement techniques, and when forming the Core, you have also borrowed from the Jin Dan Great Dao."

"The achievement of the Nascent Soul has the shadows of the Daoist sect's infant and the Buddhist sect's sarira, but the foundation is still the divine ability Dharma Image!"

"Finally, Soul Transformation also fuses God Cultivation, instead breaking free from the shackles of ancient Penetrating Law cultivators. The Dharma Body is only secondary, and the most important thing is to cultivate the Yang Spirit!"

"At that time, I had an idea. Since this is the case, why not use external objects to refine divine ability magic techniques into a foundation to make up for one's own deficiencies?" Qian Chen smiled slightly: "This was originally the method of the artifact cultivator's life-bound magic treasure, and I also integrated it into the overseas cultivation method."

"If your fundamental technique is not perfect, you can use external objects to refine them into a magic technique foundation, then implant them into your body, and then slowly cultivate the foundation. In this way, when forming the Core, you can use it to complete the foundation and cultivate a more superior seed of divine ability, achieving a supreme-rank pill." Qian Chen's idea was born from the peacock and bamboo bear he had seen in the past.

The two great demons used the innate Five Elements Qi and Yin-Yang Qi from the time of the creation of heaven and earth to cultivate two great divine abilities, seeking the Great Dao through divine ability, without any deviation.

If the Jin Dan Great Dao Qian Chen cultivates is a Dao seed formed by realizing the Great Dao, not relying on external help, then the Penetrating Law Great Dao is a mirror, intercepting a corner of the Great Dao to form divine ability, and exploring the Great Dao through this divine ability.

Both are methods of seeking the Dao, and there is no distinction between high and low.

The "Whirling Creation" that Qian Chen wants to cultivate is even more about fusing various great divine abilities to catch a glimpse of a corner.

The bone-changing method refines external objects into immortal bones with innate magic techniques, then cultivates the immortal bones, refines them into divine ability, and uses the opportunity of Core Formation to combine several magic techniques into a prototype of a great divine ability.

This is also Qian Chen's exploration of his own Core Formation, integrating three Golden Cores with great divine abilities to master Whirling Creation.
