Song Fuan Imparts the Dao
Lu Ping glanced at Little A and Little B.
Song Fuan is an upright man and Integrated Body Great Talent; it's best to be honest with him.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You didn't stand on ceremony with him either, and bowed.]
"This junior dares to request a Spirit Transformation Pill."
Song Fuan's expression faltered slightly.
[His Divine Sense swept through the storage Law Treasure.]
[The Spirit Transformation Pill is precious and scarce for ordinary cultivators, but for someone of Song Fuan's level, the Spirit Transformation Pill? What is that? How does it compare to the Grain Avoidance Pill?]
[However, the daily consumption in the Demon-Suppressing Tower's storeroom is extremely high, and there are currently no readily available Pills on hand.]
[The dignified master of the Demon-Suppressing Tower was asked for a reward by a junior, yet he couldn't produce anything on the spot.]
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
[Seeing this, you immediately took over the conversation.]
"I am also skilled in Alchemy. If there are no ready-made Pills in the building, the corresponding Primary and Auxiliary Medicinal Ingredients will suffice."
Song Fuan's expression softened slightly, and he nodded.
"That's easy."
He raised his hand and sent a telepathic message.
[Shortly after, Chen Zhao hurried over and handed you the ingredients for three portions of the Spirit Transformation Pill.]
[Song Fuan watched you carefully put away the medicinal herbs, but instead of leaving immediately, he pondered for a moment and then gave you earnest instructions.]
"Before Nascent Soul stage, you can still forcefully break through using breathing Qi Refining and the power of Pills."
"However, if one wishes to advance to the Spirit Transformation, the Spirit Transformation Pill is actually of very little use; the key lies in comprehending the Principle heaven and earth."
"Before reaching the Spirit Transformation, the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and even the Golden Core Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul are ultimately dominated by the physical body. Even if the Nascent Soul can leave the body, its foundation still lies within the Qi Sea of the physical body."
"Once one breaks through to the Spirit Transformation, all one's immense power is controlled by the Primordial Spirit, while the physical body becomes merely a vessel for crossing the sea."
"This marks the true transition from the mortal cultivation stage of 'Spiritual Power driving, Nascent Soul carrying the spirit' to the Half-Saint Stage of 'Principle, divine consciousness penetrating the profound.'"
"This is why countless exceptionally talented individuals in this world ultimately perish at the Nascent Soul Perfection, spending their entire lives desperately seeking that sliver of opportunity to reach the Spirit Transformation Fortuitous Opportunity."
Seeing your solemn expression, Song Fuan's eyes flickered slightly. Perhaps a sense of admiration for your talent arose within him, so he simply sat down cross-legged on the bluestone.
"Since we've come to this point, let me tell you about the Great Dao ahead."
[Song Fuan immediately began preaching on the spot.]
[The Integrated Body Great Talent, having achieved the fusion of powers, uttered profound and subtle words; as the words fell, a faint celestial melody echoed through the valley.]
[Your journey of cultivation has mostly been a solitary exploration on the edge of life and death, relying on your own careful steps and the blessings of the Trait. When have you ever had such a powerful master at the Body Integration Realm to guide your cultivation path?]
[This lecture lasted for three whole days.]
[Three days later, the celestial music gradually faded away.]
[With the added Trait of being "Multiskilling," you've absorbed almost every word of Song Fuan's teachings.]
[You suddenly feel that many obstacles in your spiritual practice have been cleared up, and the Great Dao ahead is gradually becoming clear.]
[Especially your self-derived Azure Origin Dao Canon Spirit Transformation Chapter, which originally had some flaws, has been completely resolved after this lesson.]
[You stood up, took two steps back, straightened your robes, and bowed deeply to Song Fuan, performing the Disciple's Rite.]
"Disciple Lu Ping thanks Master Song for the kindness of transmitting the Dharma."
[Song Fuan sat upright on the blue stone, accepting your bow with composure and gentleness.]
[After you finished bowing and looked up, he simply raised his hand and waved his sleeve casually.]
"This matter is settled, go."
[You actually did consider mentioning Pei Xuanlü of the Supreme Unity Sect to Song Fuan.]
But the words stuck in his throat.
[The Chunwu has already caught the tail of the matter, it's an established fact; the Formation Technique, the Bloodline Mark, and the witnesses and physical evidence are all there.]
[But for Pei Xuanlü, this was "something that had never happened before".]
[You're making Integrated Body Great Talent of an Upper Domain Great Sect; even if Song Fuan thinks highly of you, he can't believe you.]
[Moreover, the battle at Demon-Severing Cliff in the third simulation was full of strange occurrences and suspicious points.]
[You're not even sure if Pei Xuanlü has any problems.]
[After thinking it over, you decided to play it safe.]
[It's not too late to find him again after we've figured out his background.]
[You bid farewell to Song Fuan, changed back into the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak, and disguised yourself once more as Zhu Wanshan, heading towards the Profound Beast Taming Sect.]
[Half a month later, you returned to Returning to Truth Peak of the Profound Beast Taming Sect.]
[As soon as you landed in front of the cave abode, the dormant Fire Crow Seed deep within your Dantian trembled slightly.]
A ring of fine, Dark-Gold Fire Markings emerged from the surface of the seed coat, exuding an ancient aura.
[The Crow-Crow has finally entered its Transformation Stage, evolving from Red-Feather Fire Crow into Lihuo Fire Crow.]
Before you could even examine the changes in the Crow-Crow, dark clouds suddenly gathered above the mountaintop.
A violent pillar of Spiritual Qi shot into the sky.
The once cloudless sky was instantly covered by dark, heavy thunderclouds.
Silvery-white electric snakes darted wildly through the sea of clouds, locking the very energy of heaven and earth into place.
[You stand atop the peak, gazing at the churning clouds of calamity, your face darkening.]
[You've only been away from the Profound Beast Taming Sect for a little over a month.]
[Before you left, you specifically left the Spirit-Eroding Bracelet, repeatedly instructing Qinghe to suppress her cultivation and absolutely not break through to the Golden Core.]
[This girl has always been precocious and obedient; she'll never go easy on anything you ask her to do.]
[Unless, it's some kind of force she can't resist.]
[Thunder roared, and the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck down.]
[You stand still, without taking a step forward.]
[This kind of tribulation is something outsiders shouldn't interfere with.]
[Once a cultivator of a higher realm enters the range of the tribulation lightning, the Heavenly Dao will draw down Heavenly Punishment Lightning equal to the intruder's realm.]
[Teaming up to overcome tribulations might be fun for a moment, but it'll send your whole family to the crematorium.]
[Back at the Demon-Severing Cliff, you relied on triggering your own Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation to forcefully drag down Transformation Great Demon along with you.]
You certainly wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
You can only wait.
The lightning tribulation lasted for a full three hours.
[As the final bolt of tribulation lightning struck, a cool, aura emerged like a butterfly from its cocoon, stepping into the Golden Core Stage.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Immediately step forward to check on Qinghe's condition and inquire about the Core Formation.]
[B: Something's fishy going on. Let's use Star River Myriad Blades to eliminate any future trouble.]
[C: Pulls out a set of bright red silk and a bronze gong from his Storage Bag, rushes into the tribulation ruins, bangs it hard, and shouts: "Congratulations to Ancestor Qinghe of Returning to Truth Peak on obtaining the Golden Core!
