Chapter 593: Various Nascent Soul Techniques
Clan Leader Jin was also stunned. He looked left and right but didn't recognize the disguised Daoist Priest Bu Yu: "You know me?"
He had traveled ten thousand miles to the Great Xia to find the most top-tier storyteller in the Great Xia; how could the other party possibly know him?
Was his fame really that high?
Clan Leader Jin became guarded, his aura circulating. A murderous intent tore through his lapel. He suspected the other party was one of his creditors, but then he thought, his only current creditor was the Meng family.
"It's me, Daoist Priest Bu Yu," Daoist Priest Bu Yu said in a low voice. He wasn't afraid of revealing his identity; he had no grudges with the Qiongqi clan.
Daoist Priest Bu Yu had a bottom line when doing things. He was particular about who he swindled. He didn't swindle poor families, and the Qiongqi clan was already poor enough; there was no need to torment them further.
As for Clan Leader Jin mistakenly entering the Nine Serenities Sect, that was the Eighth Elder's swindle; what did it have to do with him?
He also wasn't afraid of Clan Leader Jin having any bad intentions.
Could someone with bad intentions live this poorly?
"Daoist Priest Bu Yu?" Clan Leader Jin widened his eyes, then reacted. No wonder the storytelling was "The Legend of the Congwendao Sect"; it turned out it was their own Sect Master telling it. It was reasonable and logical.
"Wait a moment, how did you find me?"
"Oh, that's simple. In my earlier years, I owed debts and didn't pay them back, hiding everywhere. With more experience in hiding, I naturally gained more experience in finding people."
Daoist Priest Bu Yu: "..."
"You want to take me as your master and learn how to tell stories?" Daoist Priest Bu Yu was a bit hesitant. This was the first time he had encountered a disciple who took the initiative to come to his door.
Clan Leader Jin was also a bit hesitant. Daoist Priest Bu Yu's reputation wasn't good. If he took him as his master, would his own reputation be affected as well?
But thinking about it from another angle, Daoist Priest Bu Yu was indeed a good teacher. His eloquence was good, and his swindling techniques were high-level; these were exactly the things he lacked. The so-called "learning from others' strengths to make up for one's own weaknesses" was exactly this.
He gritted his teeth. Wealth and honor were sought in danger. If he wanted to learn a set of skills, how could he not take risks?
He would gamble.
"Yes, I am here to take you as my master!"
Daoist Priest Bu Yu seemed to feel Clan Leader Jin's firm heart and was greatly moved.
Although he had heard that the Qiongqi clan's fate was strange and easily attracted disasters, and even the Floating Money Chamber of Commerce didn't dare to take them in, he had always been careful in his actions and shouldn't run into trouble.
"There's no need to take me as your master. You're almost a thousand years old. Our Congwendao Sect doesn't recruit disciples of such an old age. However, you can follow me to learn things."
After Lu Yang sold out his master, he continued to study techniques in the Scripture Pavilion with a clear conscience.
Jiang Lianyi wasn't in a hurry to find Daoist Priest Bu Yu either. Anyway, he couldn't run out of the Great Xia. The most important thing now was to learn about the changes in the Cultivation Realm over the past three hundred thousand years.
If she encountered anything she didn't understand, she could just ask Tao Lao.
Facing the Phoenix Ancestor's doubts, Tao Lao naturally knew everything and said everything. He had no intention of exploring how Jiang Lianyi came to the Congwendao Sect. Since Miss Yun Zhi had let her come, she was naturally trusted by Miss Yun Zhi. As a retiree, he just needed to manage his own small plot of land in the Scripture Pavilion well; how the Congwendao Sect fared was a matter for the younger generation.
Moreover, answering the Phoenix Ancestor's doubts allowed the Phoenix clan to recount ancient secrets, which was a win-win situation.
The techniques in the Scripture Pavilion were all-encompassing. When Lu Yang came last time, he was still in the early Golden Core stage. He had read a few Nascent Soul stage techniques and felt they were very raw. Now that his cultivation and vision had kept up, those Nascent Soul stage techniques were no longer difficult to understand.
"Pure Yang Technique... oh, it's the ancestral technique for single spiritual roots. No need to look." Based on Lu Yang's understanding of the "Pure Yang Technique," it was either encouraging words left by predecessors with single spiritual roots, something like chicken soup for the soul.
Or it was a gentle cultivation method, such as splashing cold water or staying in an ice cellar when the body felt hot, or it was a radical cultivation method, such as taking aphrodisiacs to increase Yang energy, "no destruction, no construction."
The latter method could effectively increase the cultivation speed of single spiritual roots, but the risks were also huge. It was said that several predecessors with single spiritual roots hadn't been able to withstand the medicinal effects.
Old Meng had the blessing of the Nirvana True Fire; even the predecessors with single spiritual roots who took aphrodisiacs would say it was too radical.
"Mountain-Moving Technique, a body-refining technique. Once practiced to great success, one can reach the extreme realm of strength in the Nascent Soul stage; moving mountains and filling seas is not a problem." Lu Yang gasped. This Mountain-Moving Technique was truly powerful. Old Meng could come and practice it.
As for him, forget it. He wasn't a body refiner and couldn't practice body-refining techniques.
"If you want to refine your body, there are shortcuts you can take." The Immortal Fairy kindly suggested when she saw Lu Yang was tempted by this type of technique.
"What shortcut?"
"Being struck by lightning. If you can survive the Lei Jie, you can effectively increase your body's strength. The Immortal Ying Tian often did this before becoming an immortal. If it weren't for his great luck and sufficient elixirs, he would have been struck to death long ago."
"However, if you want to talk about effectiveness, it's truly effective. During that time, the Immortal Ying Tian could suppress the Qilin Immortal. Later, the Qilin Immortal got anxious and also underwent the Lei Jie, only then did they fight to a draw. The two of them improved each other in competition, and for a time, it became a beautiful story. Major geniuses vied to imitate them, and quite a few people were struck to death."
It wasn't just when breaking through realms that one needed to undergo the Lei Jie; if one wanted to undergo the Lei Jie, there were plenty of ways to lure it over.
"I'm only in the Nascent Soul stage. Wouldn't it be very dangerous to be struck by lightning?"
The Immortal Fairy waved her hand. She had calculated everything and had long thought of a way: "What are you afraid of? You forgot about the Invincible Nascent Soul? If you really encounter a Lei Jie you can't survive, the Invincible Nascent Soul will use running away as a warning. It's very safe."
"... The Invincible Nascent Soul is safe, but what about me?"
This question was relatively difficult. The Immortal Fairy couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
"Uh, should I show my face and let the Lei Jie go back?"
"Are you sure the Lei Jie will give you face?"
"It's hard to say. Powerful Lei Jie will give me face, like the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder or something. You're only in the Nascent Soul stage; they must all be minor, unranked Lei Jie. They might not have seen me."
Lu Yang shook his head, threw the Immortal Fairy's suggestion to the back of his mind, and continued to study the techniques.
"Ten Thousand Tribulations Indestructible Technique, a technique specifically for tempering the Nascent Soul. If practiced to great success, the Nascent Soul will be immortal and indestructible, eternally present. Even if a great star falls and ten thousand tribulations are added to the body, there will not be the slightest damage."
Lu Yang gasped. He didn't expect such a powerful top-tier technique to be placed so casually on the bookshelf. If this could be practiced, it felt even more powerful than his own Invincible Nascent Soul.
He looked up and confirmed that this wasn't the "Miss Yun Zhi Area," then continued to flip through it to see how this technique was practiced.
"To practice the Ten Thousand Tribulations Indestructible Nascent Soul Body, one needs to first let the Nascent Soul survive ten thousand kinds of tribulations."
"... Damn, so this is a theoretical technique." Lu Yang was speechless. He remembered there was such a category of techniques.
There was a type of technique called a theoretical technique; in theory, doing so was feasible, but it was limited to theory. In practice, no one had ever succeeded.
This type of technique was either used to swindle laymen or was the whimsical idea of a great cultivation master.
"Who wrote this... Tao Ran? I've never heard of this name."
Lu Yang seemed to remember something. He turned his head and looked at Tao Lao, who was explaining modern cultivation concepts to Miss Jiang Lianyi not far away. It seemed he had found the owner of the technique.
