The Drawbacks of Profound Arts, and Those Suited For Them

Upon hearing this, Li Yun smiled faintly.

He knew that the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects were all extremely curious about the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Especially since the sheer power of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was an open secret; after his explanation, it stirred their hearts and made them eager to try it themselves.

But so what?

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique wasn't something just anyone could cultivate successfully.

Once one reached the seventh revolution, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique would face its greatest challenge and trial.

If one couldn't break through the shackles, let alone complete nine revolutions to Attain Dao and become a Saint, even reaching the eighth revolution and entering the Quasi-Saint level was impossible.

Thinking of this, Li Yun didn't hold back and said with a faint smile, "The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is a method that cultivates both the Primordial Spirit and the physical body, which means its practice requires a strong physical constitution and a powerful Primordial Spirit."

"All Senior Brothers and Sisters are Direct Disciples, so this shouldn't be too difficult for you."

"But with each advancement, the difficulty of cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique increases by dozens, even hundreds of times!"

"Once you reach the seventh revolution, which is comparable to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, the difficulty of further improvement is thousands of times greater than that of an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal advancing to Quasi-Saint."

"Most importantly, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is a method no one has cultivated before, which means entering the eighth revolution will require endless resources. The magnitude of this difficulty is not something that disciples like us can accomplish."

This—

After hearing Li Yun's explanation, Duobao and the others were stunned.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

This technique was indeed incomparably powerful, and what Li Yun had said earlier about being invincible at the same level wasn't a joke.

But the difficulty of advancing further after reaching the seventh revolution, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, was so great—thousands of times harder than an ordinary cultivator advancing from Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint—and it even required endless resources to continue cultivating, improving, and growing stronger. It was like a bottomless pit.

At this moment, even the Direct Disciples couldn't help but sigh.

The technique was good.

Its power was truly formidable.

But the consumption was too much. As Saint Direct Disciples, even without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they were confident they could reach Quasi-Saint, and under a Saint's guidance, become among the top existences within the Quasi-Saint realm.

But if they cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, the consumption required was something they couldn't sustain. Even if they truly reached the eighth revolution, the resources needed for each subsequent minor advancement were a scale that made them hesitate and was even unimaginable.

"Junior Brother Li Yun, since you know this, why did you still choose to cultivate it?"

At this moment, Gui Ling asked curiously.

Hearing this, Duobao and the others also looked curiously toward Li Yun.

As he had said, the resource consumption was enormous. Under such circumstances, even Direct Disciples couldn't handle it. How could Li Yun, merely an Inner Disciple, possibly—

"Martial Sister Gui Ling, that's not quite right!"

Facing the question, Li Yun smiled and looked toward Gui Ling, saying, "It's true that I'm only an Inner Disciple, but my Master is Grand Pure One Laozi, the number one alchemist in the Primordial World!"

"My Senior Brother Xuandu hasn't risen yet, but in the future, he will surely inherit my Master's alchemy skills and become a great alchemist."

"With my Master and Senior Brother refining pills, I won't lack resources~"

If you like This Book, to avoid losing it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Saying this, Li Yun turned to look at Xuandu and smiled, "Senior Brother, when you become a great alchemist in the future, don't forget about your Junior Brother. When you refine those Golden Elixirs, you have to share some with me!"

"No problem~"

Hearing this, Xuandu agreed without hesitation.

He also understood that the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique required massive consumption, and given his relationship with Li Yun, how could he stand by and do nothing?

More importantly, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Li Yun said. If his alchemy skills reached great heights in the future, giving Li Yun a few more Golden Elixirs wouldn't be difficult.

"This~"

Seeing this, Guang Chengzi, Duobao, and the others opened their mouths, wanting to say something but stopping, unable to speak.

Li Yun's straightforwardness made them envious, and Xuandu's agreement left them with mixed feelings.

Even as Direct Disciples, they all had their own factions and conflicts.

True brotherly harmony and selfless dedication to others simply didn't exist, and it was impossible.

But Xuandu and Li Yun had achieved it.

Even knowing that Li Yun's request was unreasonable, even somewhat greedy.

But so what? As the Senior Brother, Xuandu didn't refuse at all. He wasn't joking but agreed to it resolutely.

This meant that in the future, Li Yun's cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique would be supported by Laozi and Xuandu, who would provide him with powerful Golden Elixirs as a foundation. Thus, the so-called resource gap wouldn't exist for him, and even...

"Senior Brother Xuandu, Junior Brother Li Yun, your relationship is truly remarkable."

Opening his mouth, Guang Chengzi's voice was a bit dry.

At this moment, even he couldn't help but envy the brotherly bond between the two.

More importantly, the Human Teachings only had these two disciples, and the clear distinction between Direct Disciple and Inner Disciple meant there was no conflict of interest. Naturally, they didn't need to scheme against each other like the rest of them, even having to put on a facade with others.

At this point, Gui Ling changed the subject and said, "Junior Brother Li Yun, the consumption of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is indeed too great. None of us have much interest in it, but since it's such a powerful technique, it's impossible to say we're not curious."

"Junior Brother, as a practitioner of this technique, can you tell which of us is suited to cultivate it? At least with the hope of reaching the Eight Revolutions Quasi-Saint stage?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others, including Xuandu, turned to Li Yun with curiosity.

Though they had resolved not to cultivate it, they were still curious about whether they possessed the aptitude.

If there was a chance to enter the Eight Revolutions Quasi-Saint stage, then it might indeed warrant some hesitation, even a moment of deliberation.

"Ah, this..."

With a thoughtful glance at Gui Ling, Li Yun curled his lips in a playful manner and said, "I think Martial Sister Gui Ling, you can do it. In fact, you're quite suited."

"As far as I know, Martial Sister, your true form is a Mysterious Turtle. Your physical body is undoubtedly among the best of the disciples from the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects. Add to that your Primordial Spirit being no weakling, cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique won't inherently carry any hidden dangers of insufficient foundation. As long as you have enough resources, reaching the Eight Revolutions is absolutely no problem."

"Me?"

Opening her mouth, Gui Ling instinctively pointed at herself. Her pretty face showed a mix of shock, disbelief, but also anticipation, joy, and hesitation.

"That's right~"

Nodding, Li Yun didn't drag it out. "Besides you, Martial Sister, Senior Brother Duobao can also do it. Among the various Senior Brothers of the Chan Teachings, Senior Brother Yu Ding and Senior Brother Huanglong, you two can also cultivate it. And as long as resources are sufficient, I believe you can all reach the Eight Revolutions!"
