It Seems Giving Only Honey Dates Isn't Enough

But a self-created cultivation technique?

How could that be possible!

Throughout the history of the cultivation world, how many exceptionally talented individuals had tried to forge their own paths.

Yet, most of them, upon reaching Foundation Establishment or Golden Core, either had their true essence explode or were struck down by lightning tribulations, meeting a tragic end.

Those who could deduce their self-created techniques to the Golden Core realm were already rare as phoenix feathers, let alone Nascent Soul!

It was as if, in the unseen realms, the Heavenly Dao did not permit cultivators to take alternative routes, forcing them to rely solely on the ethereal Primal Dao Canon.

But the powerful being behind the Gui Xi Sect had actually found a unique path, creating an entirely new way, and had even deduced it to a realm sufficient for proving the Dao and reaching Nascent Soul?!

What kind of terrifying talent and fortune would this require?

He… or they, to what extent did they ultimately deduce this path?

Were they already capable of ascending to become immortals?

What kind of colossal Demonic Dao powerhouse was behind this sect?

But something wasn't right…

She could feel that this cultivation technique was upright and peaceful, imbued with a majestic aura and solemn Dharma appearance. How could this possibly be a Demonic Dao technique?

Could a Demonic Sect, known for slaughtering people like flies and disregarding lives, create such a righteous and proper method?

She understood!

This must be a cultivation technique that the Demonic Dao powerhouse behind the Gui Xi Sect had snatched from a Righteous Path great cultivator!

How detestable!

She wondered which immortal cultivator senior had fallen victim to this Demonic Sect's wicked schemes!

Wait…

The person in the anointing illusion bore a striking resemblance to Elder Qian… Could it be?

Countless clues connected in her mind.

It had to be!

Not only did the powerhouse of this Demonic Sect assassinate Elder Qian, a Righteous Path senior who had created this divine technique, but they also refined him into a mindless flesh-and-blood puppet!

Forcing him to serve this Demonic Sect for eternity, just like those tragic spirit servants before him!

It was truly lamentable that this elder, who could deduce his cultivation technique to such a profound realm in life, still fell victim to the treachery of villains.

And even in death, he could not rest in peace, his physical body confined within this sect. Not only was he forced to impart the cultivation technique to the entire Demonic Sect, but he even had to handle trivial matters like registering new disciples.

This Demonic Dao Evil Sect had actually humiliated a great cultivator to such an extent!

In an instant, Su Ling'er's mind conjured an entire scene:

Elder Qian, with his immortal demeanor and righteous spirit, ambushed by a sinister and cunning Demonic Dao cultivator.

The previously blurry, evil shadow, upon succeeding in his attack, refined Elder Qian's remains into a puppet, enslaving him for eternity, much like the spirit beasts she had seen in the Spirit Beast Garden.

Thinking of how a generation's Righteous Path master met such an end, Su Ling'er couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.

But no matter what, she had received the grace of this senior's teachings.

Thus, she bowed deeply to the Elder Qian before her.

"Senior, though you are no longer among the living, I will forever remember this kindness. I vow not to use this technique for evil purposes!"

She made a silent oath in her heart.

Moreover, if this path truly worked…

Did that mean cultivators would no longer be bound by the fragmented scrolls of the Primal Dao Canon held by the major sects?

After all, this was a clear path leading to Nascent Soul, and perhaps even to eternal life!

However, her spiritual roots were extremely poor, and her Pseudo Spiritual Root aptitude remained the biggest obstacle.

Even with a divine cultivation technique, how far could she cultivate?

And why would this Demonic Sect give the stolen cultivation technique to her?

In any case, things were definitely not that simple.

On one side lay the supreme temptation of proving the Dao and achieving eternal life, and on the other, the abyss of the Demonic Dao that led to eternal damnation.

She yearned to seek immortality and follow the Dao, to live as long as heaven and earth – this was her original intention upon entering the path of cultivation.

Yet, she absolutely refused to become like these Demonic Dao Evil Cultivators, losing all conscience and easily taking others' lives!

The jade slip in her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

At the same time, Lin Qingfeng's consciousness withdrew from the player forum.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his junior sister bowing to Elder Qian, completely stunning him.

"No… he's just a functional NPC devoid of emotion, why are you bowing to him?"

Lin Qingfeng looked at Su Ling'er, who still maintained a solemn expression of "meeting a master and receiving the Great Dao."

What's the point of acting like this towards Qian Buyu, who has no emotions?

Never mind, the main business is more important.

So he asked, "Junior Sister, how is your comprehension?"

Su Ling'er jolted and quickly collected her thoughts, replying respectfully:

"Replying to Senior Disciple Brother, I... I was just grateful that Elder Qian personally bestowed the technique upon me, which is why I reacted that way."

She dared not reveal any hint of strangeness.

Even if this cultivation method was obtained from someone of the Demonic Dao, I will surely use it for the Righteous Path, and will never be like them, disregarding human lives!

Lin Qingfeng looked at his junior sister's appearance and pondered for a moment.

Could it be that she felt it was a waste for someone with her aptitude to cultivate this method?

After all, she had a four-element Pseudo Spiritual Root, and her innate talent was so poor.

So he said, "Junior Sister, do you feel that with your aptitude, the path to the Great Dao is still uncertain with this method alone?"

Su Ling'er's heart tightened.

Lin Qingfeng continued, "Although the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Manual is our sect's supreme scripture, a scripture is like a fine horse that needs a good saddle."

"The Sword Refining Art I mentioned to you before is the only good saddle for a steed like you!"

"Think about it, the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Manual tempers your flesh and blood foundation, greatly reducing the pain you'll endure while cultivating the Sword Refining Art."

"And the Sword Refining Art refines the physique, turning a mortal body into a sharp weapon. These two combined form the supreme Great Dao of dual cultivation of body and technique. Aren't you tempted?"

"At that time, even the shackles of your Pseudo Spiritual Root will disappear under the countless hammer blows! It won't be difficult to reach the Nascent Soul realm in the future!"

"If you're worried about not having enough insurance, you can also swallow a large number of pills when you try to break through the shackles."

"You can even cooperate with the sword cultivators in the sect in the future, using your body as a sword, achieving human-sword unity. The power of that... you understand."

I understand!

Su Ling'er understood everything!

So that's how it is!

So Senior Disciple Brother brought me to learn the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Manual from a senior, all so that I could better cultivate that inhumane Sword Refining Art!

First, break my psychological defenses with this righteous and supreme divine skill;

Then, use the irrefutable fact of "limited aptitude" to completely force me onto the path of dual cultivation of body and technique!

But... the power of the Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect shaking the heavens and earth in that illusion still lingered in her mind.

Nascent Soul, that was a realm she didn't even dare to dream of.

But to become a sword in someone else's hand?

The final destination is just a magic treasure?

She lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly, hiding the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

Su Ling'er finally spoke.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Disciple Brother, but... Ling'er wishes to comprehend the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Manual further."

"Regarding the Sword Refining Art, please allow this junior sister... to consider it a little longer."

Lin Qingfeng was somewhat bewildered by his junior sister's expression.

Is there a need to be so distressed?

These two cultivation methods complement each other so well, it's practically a tailor-made comeback package for people with poor aptitude!

This Myriad Transformations Return to Origin True Manual also reduces pain, which can significantly lessen the suffering of NPCs cultivating the Sword Refining Art!

If you don't cultivate the Sword Refining Art, can you break through with your aptitude?

Moreover, as long as there are enough spirit stones, many disciples are willing to sacrifice themselves to help you achieve your goals!

Lin Qingfeng shook his head helplessly. It seemed that just giving her candy wasn't enough.

This junior sister only talks the talk, but her inner resolve is still lacking.

The timing isn't right yet, it's time to give her a taste of the stick.

Coincidentally, the next stop is the Monster Locking Tower, where we can also fight monsters and get spirit stones.

She must clearly understand that in the Cultivation World, weakness is the original sin!

Without cultivating the Sword Refining Art, her future will stop there, and she will have no value!

A compassionate smile reappeared on Lin Qingfeng's face.

"Very well, the choice of the Dao path should be made with caution."

"Let's go, Junior Sister, I'll take you somewhere that might... help you make up your mind."

"That place... is called the 'Monster Locking Tower'."
