Chapter 386 He's old enough to be your grandfather. Upon hearing this...
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Wu Shisan's eyes. He sat up straight and toned down his lazy demeanor.
"This is the Tower-Ascending Realm, the biggest difference between it and the previous realms."
"This is also the True Intention of the words 'Tower-Ascending Realm '."
"The greatest advantage of the Primordial Spirit over the physical body is its inclusiveness."
"The physical body has its limits, and the number of acupoints is fixed, but the Primordial Spirit is formless Formless, yet it can encompass all things."
"The so-called tempering is to find the Heart Material in the world and forcibly fuse them into the Primordial Spirit."
"Use external resources to make up for one's own deficiencies."
"If one could find that extreme yang fire and integrate it into Primordial Spirit, every gesture would be a blazing inferno."
"If one could find that Extreme Cold ice and integrate it into one's Primordial Spirit, one could freeze ten thousand miles in an instant."
Wu Shisan looked at the girl and grinned.
"Certainly."
"The approach is different, so the necessary items are naturally different as well."
Jiang Yuechu listened attentively.
But his mind was racing with calculations.
Melting external objects into the Primordial Spirit?
This approach... why does it sound so familiar?
Putting aside the " Great Black Heaven Body-Forging Scripture," a Cultivation Method that places demonic souls into the body... it seems that he also obtained a Divine Ability talent in the Dragon-Washing Pool.
[ Bone and Flesh as Furnace: heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Treasure Tool, and Law Artifact treasures can be infused into one's own body for nourishment and sustenance, complementing each other.]
Thinking of this...
A strange glint flashed in the girl's eyes.
Forehead...
Wouldn't that mean... for her, the physical body can be tempered in the same way as the Primordial Spirit?!
Seeing her strange expression, Wu Shisan assumed she was stunned by such a method and shook his head smugly.
"Girl, now you know how serious it is?"
"Now that you have Tower-Ascending Realm, your Primordial Spirit is formed, yet you are like a newborn infant, naked and unburdened, seemingly pure, but in reality, the most vulnerable."
"With such a good foundation, wouldn't it be a waste not to find some good iron to forge it?"
"In my humble opinion, you would be better off temporarily setting aside the matter of killing and seeking out some rare and precious items to properly temper your Primordial Spirit."
"It won't be too late to seek out the bad luck of Five Immortals Mountain then."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly.
"What the Daoist priest says is absolutely right."
In the previous battle against the Five Immortals, although he relied on his refined Primordial Spirit to smash his opponents to pieces.
But when it came to the later battles between their Primordial Spirit...
Even if the other side is not of one mind and is fighting their own battles.
I also feel constrained in every way.
If it weren't for the fact that his Primordial Spirit value was so high, he would probably have already been at a disadvantage.
She deliberately frowned, feigning difficulty. "But such rare treasures are hard to come by, and as a newcomer to this realm, I am completely clueless and have no idea where to begin searching."
Wu Shisan chuckled, reached into his robes, pulled out a few booklets, and tossed them onto the table.
Jiang Yuechu's gaze fell upon it.
"This is..."
Wu Shisan pointed. "This humble Daoist has a habit of jotting things down... These are all notes I jotted down along the way."
"You can take a look; perhaps you can find a few places that suit your style."
At this point, the old Daoist paused, his expression unusually serious.
"I will be staying in Chang'an these days."
"Although the Tai'e Lineage has its rules, it is forbidden to act rashly against other lineages or get too deeply involved."
"But what if the other side is courting death and dares to attack Chang'an City on their own initiative..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuechu's heart stirred slightly.
She reached for the booklet on the table and flipped through it casually.
The handwriting is messy and illegible.
Some drew topographical maps, some recorded local customs and traditions, and many more made observations and annotations about certain strange energies.
For Jiang Yuechu, who is currently completely clueless, this thing is extremely important.
Jiang Yuechu closed the booklet and put it into her bosom.
He then took half a step back and solemnly bowed to the old Daoist priest.
"Thank you, Daoist Master."
This bow is to express gratitude for the guidance and instruction.
Wu Shisan accepted the bow but waved his hand dismissively.
He did this not without ulterior motives.
Firstly, it was indeed out of consideration for their homeland.
Secondly...
The old Daoist priest's eyes darted around, his gaze finally settling on the Young Disciple sitting upright to the side.
"This humble Daoist priest has another request."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuechu looked up.
Wu Shisan coughed lightly and pointed at the Young Disciple: "This disciple of mine, although he has been by my side for some years and has learned some skills."
"It's a pity... he's always been sheltered under my wings, never experiencing any hardship, and his nature is too unruly; he doesn't know his own limitations."
"If you, young lady, are to seek that refining material, you will inevitably encounter many hardships and have to cross mountains and valleys along the way."
"May I take him with me?"
"It'll broaden his horizons and let him know that there are always people more capable than him, and that there's always something beyond our understanding, so he won't be so narrow-minded and ignorant."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yuechu's eyes.
Bringing a burden?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the Young Disciple who hadn't spoken a word.
The Young Disciple had been quiet ever since Jiang Yuechu pushed open the door, no longer behaving as noisily as before.
At this moment, he heard his Master's words.
The Young Disciple blushed, but kept a straight face, putting on a mature-beyond-his-years demeanor.
He coughed twice, trying to appear calm, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Yuechu.
"That..."
"I... I may be young, but I am not without strength."
"I will certainly obey your orders along the way and will not cause you any trouble."
"..."
Jiang Yuechu was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not difficult to bring him along."
"But... if I encounter trouble that I can't handle, I won't be able to protect myself..."
The old Daoist waved his hand. "You can rest assured about that."
"Although this kid looks like a child, his Primordial Spirit has been fused with a special substance, which is why he has reverted to a childlike state and become like this."
"If we're really talking about age... he could easily be your grandfather."
" Master!"
The Young Disciple gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you spare your disciple some face in front of outsiders?!"
Who starts by digging into someone's past?
"Fine, fine, you say it yourself, you say it yourself."
Wu Shisan shrugged.
How could he not know what his disciple was thinking?
He simply saw that Jiang Yuechu was young and beautiful, and wanted to use his appearance to seduce her so he could take advantage of her later.
But it doesn't apply to others.
This girl...
We can't let him do whatever he wants.
The Young Disciple took a deep breath.
He straightened his clothes.
Although he was not tall, barely taller than a table.
But at this moment.
The childishness vanished instantly.
"My name is Wang Ziyu."
"A descendant of the Tai'e Lineage from the Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven."
" Tower-Ascending Realm, to the second level."
"..."
Jiang Yuechu's eyelids twitched slightly.
Climbing the Tower-Ascending Realm twice?
Since he's a head taller than me.
Then there's nothing more to say.
Jiang Yuechu turned around and pushed open the door.
"Since that's the case..."
"Then let's go."
