Still, arts of the same element always share Xiangtong  principles—you may study other arts at your level as reference.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, this is your Jinghuo Peak inner disciple token. As a direct disciple, it carries ten thousand contribution points—more than enough to exchange for a complete set of cultivation scriptures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Tu finished speaking, withdrew a pale red token from his sleeve, and tossed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s face lit up as he caught the token with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This master was truly worth the Baishi —just after joining Jinghuo Peak, he’d gifted treasures yesterday and now granted a large sum of contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t know the exact value of ten thousand contribution points in Bishui Palace, he knew it could directly exchange for a scripture capable of guiding one to Golden Core—certainly no small amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the Taiyuan System within him, the more same-element arts he collected, the greater the benefit—more could be deduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, as master of Jinghuo Peak and a Golden Core cultivator, I have my own insights into fire cultivation arts—I’ve copied all of them into this jade slip, and now bestow them upon you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Yu, remember this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Bishui Palace, compared to arts and treasures exchangeable for contribution points, cultivation insights are the most precious treasures of any spirit peak—especially personal insights from Golden Core cultivators. They allow Foundation Establishment cultivators to avoid countless detours and drastically shorten cultivation time. You must never reveal them to outsiders—otherwise, you’ll be expelled at best, or stripped of your cultivation at worst.” The robed man flipped his palm, revealing a white jade slip, and tossed it to Wang Yu, his expression stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple understands—I will never leak Master’s insights.” Wang Yu caught the jade slip, his face beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that while he had once taken Tianchan the Ancestor as his master at Sixiang Gate, the old master’s cultivation wasn’t fire-based and thus couldn’t guide him. Now, having taken this Golden Core master of the same element, things were vastly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. You’ve stayed here overnight—what do you think of Jinghuo Peak?” Yan Tu nodded, then suddenly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I’ve just arrived at Jinghuo Peak, I can already feel it is a sacred ground for fire cultivation. The purity of the fire spiritual energy in the cave is far beyond what I ever imagined.” Wang Yu tucked away the jade slip and replied sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one breath in that cave yesterday had doubled his cultivation speed compared to his time at Sixiang Gate—even without any pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bishui Cave Heaven is a naturally formed minor realm, its spirit veins were reorganized and refined by our sect’s Nascent Soul elder, even using divine power to relocate spirit veins from outside into this realm—this is why the thirteen spirit peaks’ spiritual energy is so pure, all reaching third-rank level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you know how rare third-rank spirit veins are, and our Bishui Palace has countless disciples—even inner disciples number in the thousands, with six to seven hundred assigned to each spirit peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All inner disciples long to train year-round on the peaks, but Jinghuo Peak is only so large—it cannot possibly accommodate so many at once. Moreover, even just my daily absorption and that of the other vice-peak master consumes considerable spiritual energy, leaving little for others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus in Bishui Palace, inner disciples may only stay on a spirit peak for a limited time; when their term ends, they must leave and find other places for daily cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to sect rules, inner disciples normally get one month on the spirit peak—but as a direct disciple, you get three months. When your time is up, you must return the cave’s control key to the next eligible disciple on the waiting list.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if you find it inconvenient, you may accumulate your peak training time and use it all at once—hence why I said yesterday I was assigning you a temporary cave.” Yan Tu slowly explained another matter to Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand—I may establish another cave near Jinghuo Peak.” Wang Yu bowed slightly, confirming his understanding, though his heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit veins could be relocated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had he never heard of this at Sixiang Gate? Was this something only a Nascent Soul sect could accomplish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he possessed such ability, could he not simply transplant spirit veins directly from the cultivation world to Blue Star?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robed man knew none of these thoughts in his disciple’s mind, but offered further advice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within a thirty-li radius centered on Jinghuo Peak lies our territory—you may choose any spot to build your own cave. Though the spiritual energy there is inferior to Jinghuo Peak’s, it’s still far purer than elsewhere in the cave heaven—equivalent to a second-rank spirit vein, more than sufficient for daily cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, the cost of establishing a cave falls entirely on you, and according to sect rules, you must pay a substantial annual contribution point tax—or else you must seek cultivation grounds outside the cave heaven. Many outer disciples do exactly that to save contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master, for your guidance—I understand.” Wang Yu forced down his shock and nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Now tell me—what art are you cultivating?” Yan Tu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I cultivate the ‘Chiyang Dafa.’ It has thirteen layers and can indeed reach Golden Core. The first ten layers correspond to Foundation Establishment; the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth to Golden Core. I’ve only just reached the third layer and possess only the first ten layers’ recitations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chiyang Dafa! So this is the legendary fire art—I’ve heard it’s on par with our peak’s three flagship arts.” Yan Tu’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master has heard of Chiyang Dafa?” Wang Yu was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In ancient times, this art was famed. A human cultivator once elevated it beyond Nascent Soul, and in battle against alien races, used it to summon a great sun that boiled an entire ocean—earning it renown across the land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard a certain inland sect inherited this cultivator’s legacy—so your ability to cultivate it isn’t surprising. Still, if you surrender this art to the palace, you could exchange it for a great many contribution points.” Yan Tu studied Wang Yu for a moment, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, this Chiyang Dafa is not from my original sect—it was acquired from another sect, and I’ve sworn a spirit oath not to transmit it to others.” Wang Yu shook his head firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ve sworn a spirit oath, then there’s nothing to be done. Jinghuo Peak doesn’t lack direct-to-Golden Core fire arts—our three flagship arts, when fully cultivated, are no weaker than Chiyang Dafa. But I’ve heard Chiyang Dafa requires many external aids—do you have any difficulties in your cultivation? Speak them out—I may offer some guidance.” Yan Tu nodded, unsurprised, and continued smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve indeed encountered several difficulties in cultivation—particularly regarding two pills required for the next stages. Does Jinghuo Peak have any substitutes? And…” Wang Yu’s spirits lifted, and he began asking eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robed man listened, his expression thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>",1251,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.565Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2aed9f6df91dbf38ddce5b485ed7987a71e79afd9d469508092799741fe9c757","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-504","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-502",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
