Hearing this, Li Yun smiled calmly.
He knew that the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects were all extremely curious about the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
Especially since the technique's power had been an open secret, and his explanation had now stirred their blood, making them eager to try it.
But so what?
The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was not something just anyone could successfully cultivate.
Once one reached the Seventh Turn, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, the technique would face its greatest hurdle and trial.
If one could not break through those shackles, forget attaining Dao and becoming a Saint through the Ninth Turn—even completing the Eighth Turn and entering the Quasi-Saint realm would be impossible.
Thinking of this, Li Yun did not hide anything and said with a calm smile, "The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique cultivates both the primordial spirit and the physical body. As such, it requires tremendous physical aptitude and primordial spirit strength."
"All of you, senior brothers and sisters, are Direct Disciples. This is not much of a problem for you."
"However, with every advancement, the difficulty of cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique increases dozens, if not hundreds, of times over!"
"Once one reaches the Seventh Turn, comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the difficulty of further advancement exceeds that of an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal entering the Quasi-Saint realm by thousands of times."
"Most importantly, no one has cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique before. Reaching the Eighth Turn will require inexhaustible resources. The difficulty of that is simply beyond what cultivators of our generation of disciples can accomplish."
This—
After hearing Li Yun's explanation, Duobao and the others were dumbfounded.
The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
This cultivation method was indeed incomparably powerful. Li Yun had not been joking when he said it was invincible among those at the same realm.
But after reaching the Seventh Turn and becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the difficulty of taking another step forward was actually so immense—thousands of times harder than an ordinary cultivator advancing from Grand Unity Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint. It even required endless resources to continue cultivating, improving, and growing stronger. It was practically a bottomless pit.
At that moment, even they, as Direct Disciples, could not help but sigh.
It was a good cultivation method.
It was truly powerful.
But its consumption was simply too great. As Saint's Direct Disciples, even without Hongmeng Purple Qi, they were confident that they could reach the Quasi-Saint realm and, under a Saint's guidance, become among the strongest Quasi-Saints.
But if they cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, the resources required would be beyond their means. Even if they truly reached the Eighth Turn, the resources needed for every subsequent minor advancement would be enough to make them recoil in dread—an amount they could scarcely imagine.
"Junior Brother Li Yun, since you know this, why did you still choose to cultivate it?"
At this moment, Gui Ling asked curiously.
As soon as she spoke, Duobao and the others also looked at Li Yun with considerable curiosity.
As he had said before, the resource consumption involved was too enormous. Even Direct Disciples could not withstand it. Li Yun was merely an Inner Disciple—how could he possibly...
"Martial Sister Gui Ling, that is not quite right!"
Facing her question, Li Yun smiled at Gui Ling and said, "It is true that I am merely an Inner Disciple, but my teacher is Supreme Purity Laozi, the greatest alchemist in the Primordial World!"
"My senior brother Xuandu may not have risen to prominence yet, but he will certainly inherit my master's alchemical arts and become a great alchemist in the future."
"With my master and senior brother refining pills, I will not lack resources."
If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.
Saying this, Li Yun turned toward Xuandu and smiled. "Senior Brother, once you become a great alchemist in the future, do not forget your junior brother. When you refine those Golden Elixirs, you must give me some!"
"No problem."
Hearing this, Xuandu agreed without hesitation.
He also understood that the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique consumed a great deal of resources. Given his relationship with Li Yun, how could he possibly stand by and do nothing?
More importantly, he did not think there was anything wrong with Li Yun's words. If his alchemy reached mastery in the future, refining a few more Golden Elixirs for Li Yun would not be difficult.
"This..."
Seeing this, Guang Chengzi, Duobao, and the others opened their mouths, wanting to speak but unable to say anything.
Li Yun's bluntness made them inwardly envious, while Xuandu's agreement filled them with mixed emotions.
Even as Direct Disciples, they had their own factions and conflicts.
No one truly achieved the harmonious bond of elder brother and younger brother, much less selflessly gave to others.
Yet Xuandu and Li Yun had done so.
Even though Xuandu clearly knew that Li Yun's request was improper, even somewhat greedy.
But so what? As Li Yun's senior brother, Xuandu did not refuse at all. He was not joking, either—he had agreed decisively.
This also meant that, in the future, Laozi and Xuandu would together provide Li Yun with powerful Golden Elixirs as the foundation for his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. In that case, the so-called shortage of resources would not exist for him at all. In fact...
"Senior Brother Xuandu, Junior Brother Li Yun, your relationship truly is good."
After opening and closing his mouth a few times, Guang Chengzi finally spoke in a somewhat dry voice.
At that moment, even he could not help but envy the brotherly affection between them.
Most importantly, Human Teachings truly had only the two of them as disciples. The distinction between a Direct Disciple and an Inner Disciple was clear, so there was no conflict of interest. Naturally, they did not need to scheme and contend against one another like Guang Chengzi and the rest, nor did they need to conceal their true intentions behind polite appearances.
At this moment, Gui Ling changed the subject. "Junior Brother Li Yun, the consumption of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique is indeed too great. We have mostly given up on it, but such a powerful cultivation method cannot possibly fail to interest us."
"As a cultivator of this method, can you tell which of us are suited to cultivating it? At least, who has the hope of reaching the Eighth Turn Quasi-Saint stage?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone else, including Xuandu, looked curiously at Li Yun.
Though they had decided not to cultivate it, they were still curious whether they possessed the aptitude.
If they had the aptitude to enter the Eighth Turn Quasi-Saint realm, then it might truly be worth struggling over and giving some thought to.
"That..."
Li Yun looked thoughtfully at Gui Ling, the corners of his mouth lifting in amusement. "I think Martial Sister Gui Ling can do it, and you are very well suited to it."
"As far as I know, Martial Sister, your true form is a Mystic Turtle. In terms of physical strength, you are certainly among the best of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sect Disciples. Your primordial spirit is not weak either. Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique would not fundamentally carry any hidden danger of insufficient foundation. So long as you have enough resources, reaching the Eighth Turn will absolutely not be a problem."
"Me?"
Gui Ling opened her mouth and instinctively pointed at herself. Her pretty face showed astonishment and disbelief, but also anticipation, delight, and hesitation.
"That is right."
Li Yun nodded, no longer keeping her in suspense. "Besides you, Martial Sister, Senior Brother Duobao can also do it. Among the senior brothers of Chan Teachings, Senior Brother Yu Ding and Senior Brother Huang Long can cultivate it as well. So long as there are sufficient resources, I believe all of you can reach the Eighth Turn!"
If you cannot find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!
