"Let's go, Junior Sister."

Lin Qingfeng led her towards the area with the most abundant Spiritual Power within the sect.

It was a region built upon the sect's largest spirit vein node.

And atop it stood a cluster of cave dwellings.

As the two approached, everything before them became clearer.

Dozens of independent cave dwelling structures stood silently, arranged in a well-ordered manner. They seemed a bit like the dwellings of the disciples outside her thatched hut, but also different.

The Spiritual Power here was more concentrated, yet she could feel that it was all locked within the cave dwellings, not a single trace escaping.

"Junior Sister, look,"

Lin Qingfeng introduced, "This is an area our sect has prepared for disciples willing to spend spirit stones and contribute to the sect. It's also known as a 'Blessed Land'.

These dwellings are situated on the sect's largest spirit vein node and are inscribed with the 'Heavenly Cycle Spirit Gathering Great Array'.

One day of cultivation here is equivalent to ten days outside, greatly accelerating the gathering of Spiritual Power and stabilizing the Dao Foundation. It's a cultivation holy land that all disciples dream of!"

"Of course, the cost is also quite high.

However, even with your aptitude, Junior Sister, as long as you are willing to spend spirit stones and contribute well to the sect, you can cultivate here."

Contribution, spirit stones... This was normal.

This introduction, which completely aligned with common cultivation knowledge, caused Su Ling'er to momentarily daze, even feeling a flicker of anticipation.

After all, in the past at Qing Xu Temple, even if you had contributions and spirit stones, you wouldn't be worthy of such things.

Only direct disciples and the Sect Master or elders could enjoy areas with such dense Spiritual Power.

Even inner disciples couldn't access these benefits, let alone outer disciples.

Contributions?

Spirit stones?

Even if you had them, you couldn't spend them.

But here, regardless of the price, it at least offered a goal.

It was indeed like a carrot dangled before a donkey to make it pull the millstone forward.

But... could this Demon Den truly have such normal places?

She couldn't believe it.

Beneath this immortal aura, there must be some unspeakable purpose or trap hidden.

Perhaps the Spiritual Power itself was problematic, capable of corrupting one's mind?

Or perhaps these cave dwellings were themselves a massive array for selecting "provisions"?

While lost in thought, Lin Qingfeng had already led her into the pavilion responsible for allocating the cave dwellings.

The plaque above the pavilion read "Spirit Pivot Pavilion".

Inside, Elder Qian Buyu's usual poker face remained unchanged.

When Lin Qingfeng entered, he had specifically scanned with his divine sense. Fortunately, this time he seemed relatively normal, without any bugs.

He sat upright before a jade desk.

"Elder Qian."

Lin Qingfeng stepped forward and tapped something on the jade desk.

A moment later, Elder Qian handed him a jade slip.

Lin Qingfeng took the jade slip, weighed it in his hand, and even performed a flourish before finally handing the jade slip to Su Ling'er.

"Junior Sister, this is one of the supreme cultivation techniques of our Gui Xi Sect, named the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Art.

As you've just joined the sect, consider this a welcome gift from your Senior Brother.

Of course, it's also one of our sect's fundamental arts."

This was considered the first supreme cultivation technique of purple Rank that he had obtained when he first paid to unlock the cave dwelling function.

More importantly, it could significantly reduce the pain the body endured during cultivation. This, combined with the Sword Refining Art, was simply perfect!

Although he would still feel pain while cultivating the Sword Refining Art, his tolerance should be much stronger.

Players could turn off pain, but NPCs couldn't, so cultivating with this technique was best.

Of course, he had to praise this technique well.

Although it was a purple Rank technique he obtained back then, it seemed a bit inadequate now. But no matter what, he had to make his Junior Sister feel like she had gotten an immense bargain.

Besides, the technique was indeed good.

Su Ling'er, however, was somewhat skeptical.

A fundamental art?

The fundamental cultivation technique of any sect is its foundation and would never be easily revealed to others.

How could this Senior Disciple Brother have given it to me so easily? It's impossible.

Lin Qingfeng chuckled, "Junior Disciple Sister, there's no need to worry. This technique is all-encompassing and doesn't have too many prerequisites.

Your innate talent is indeed a bit lacking, and ordinary cultivation techniques would only yield half the results for twice the effort.

However, this Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Art can strengthen your foundation, temper your flesh and blood, greatly increase your affinity with spiritual energy, and even significantly reduce the physical pain you endure during cultivation."

Reduce the pain?!

Su Ling'er's mind immediately flashed back to the horrific scenes of disciples being forged in the Artifact Refining Pavilion!

"Junior Disciple Sister, quickly open your mind and let Elder Qian demonstrate the technique for you to get started!"

Su Ling'er felt conflicted. If she opened her mind, and they did something to her soul, she would be completely finished.

But she also knew that in this environment, she had no room to resist.

Especially under the Senior Disciple Brother's gaze, there was no possibility of refusal.

However, she carried a mission from her Sect Master to gather intelligence on the Gui Xi Sect's cultivation techniques.

If this cultivation technique could lead to the Nascent Soul Realm, its value would far exceed her imagination!

After all, her own Sect Master was only a Core Formation Realm expert.

Moreover, a cultivation technique that could lead to the Nascent Soul Realm... was truly tempting.

She could only bow and step forward, "Then, I will trouble Elder Qian."

Elder Qian slowly stood up and walked in front of her. His vacant eyes stared at her, making Su Ling'er feel even more that he wasn't alive.

How could a living person have such hollow eyes?

But immediately, an icy palm pressed against her forehead.

I'm going to die!

I'm finished!

I'm going to be brainwashed!

My life is going to be taken away!

I hope this really leads to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Su Ling'er cried out internally, but the terrifying scenes she had imagined did not occur.

With a "buzz," a stream of consciousness surged into her sea of consciousness. The Spirit Pivot Pavilion in front of her disappeared, replaced by a vast starry sky.

Her own meridians outlined human figures deep within her sea of consciousness.

Spiritual energy surged within them—this was the circulation route of the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Art.

Every cycle, every breath, was displayed before her with perfect clarity.

This cultivation technique was peaceful and upright, yet it contained a boundless, life-sustaining aura that could nourish the body, strengthen blood and qi, and rapidly restore spiritual energy.

The scene shifted, and she saw a cultivator who resembled Elder Qian by seven or eight parts sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop.

As the cultivation technique circulated, spiritual energy from all directions poured in, condensing behind him into a massive Nascent Soul Dharma Idol.

The Dharma Idol was solemn and majestic, radiating immense divine power. With every gesture, it possessed the might to shake mountains and shatter peaks!

That... was the scene of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Under its gaze, she felt so tiny, as if she could be crushed by a single finger.

The entire demonstration was upright and incomparably profound.

The vision in her sea of consciousness receded. Su Ling'er's face was somewhat pale, but her eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.

She looked at the jade slip in her hand, her breathing quickening.

It's real...

If she cultivated this, it might truly be a supreme cultivation technique that could lead directly to the Nascent Soul Realm!

She immediately began to study it greedily.

Lin Qingfeng watched her, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

Very good, very engrossed. It seems she's finally starting to yearn for our sect.

He didn't disturb her, instead walking to the side. His consciousness sank into the player forum, continuing to study his Cultivation Show-off Quotes.

For a moment, he seemed like his soul had left his body, his eyes as vacant as Elder Qian's.

Meanwhile, the more Su Ling'er studied, the more turbulent her emotions became.

This cultivation technique was very profound, but the path it took was completely different from any she had encountered in this life.

Of course, it might also be due to her limited experience?

But her Sect Master had said that in the current cultivation world, all myriad techniques traced back to their origin, pointing to a legendary tome that could allow one to ascend to immortality, and was even rumored to be the supreme canon of the immortal realm—the Primal Dao Canon.

Although this canon might be found in the mortal world, complete fragmented rubbings were rumored to be monopolized by the major top sects and aristocratic families.

Most of the other circulating texts are incomplete, or have been altered countless times by later generations.

Even the Heavenly Furnace Sect, the suzerain of Qing Xu Temple, does not possess a complete copy of the fragmented text.

All cultivators in the world practice by independently deriving suitable cultivation methods based on the Primal Dao Canon.

This process is also known as "seeking the Dao from Heaven."

However, this Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Art did not rely on any of the principles of the Primal Dao Canon at all!

It didn't even mention the most core theory of "Origin Dust" from the Primal Dao Canon.

Could it be...

That it is... a cultivation method independently created by some powerful figure within this Demonic Sect?!

And they even deduced this cultivation method to the Nascent Soul Realm without incurring the backlash of the Heavenly Dao?

Then... could that Sword Refining Art truly have been self-created by a disciple of this sect?!
