Six-Qi True Formula

The Six-Qi True Formula?

Lin Suri rooted to the spot, a fleeting hint of hesitation flashing in his deep, well-like eyes.

The Six-Qi True Method is a secret transmission of the Dao-Below Academy, Pool-Soul Institute, passed down from the Golden Grotto True Person Jing Shijue. According to the rules, it cannot be passed on to outsiders.

Seeing his hesitation, the Credit Peddler didn't urge him, but just stood there with a smile, casually fiddling with the hemp rope on his basket.

After a few breaths, the Credit Peddler suddenly spoke up, "As for the treasures used in the formation, and most other things, you can find substitutes if you put in the effort."

There are only two things that are extremely difficult for you to find.

I will only mention one thing... it is that [the Heaven-Heavy Wood]."

A look of surprise and doubt flashed in Lin Suri's eyes.

The words "[Heaven-Heavy Wood]" coming from the Credit Peddler's mouth suggested that he already knew what Lin Suri wanted to exchange for.

Chen Lingxi listened to their conversation the whole time, and felt more and more that this Credit Peddler was unfathomable!

Under his Sight-Roaming eye, Lin Suri's every breath and every movement was laid bare.

Even when Lin Suri was using magic to communicate with the Credit Peddler through telepathy, his voice was condensed into a single line and fell into the Credit Peddler's ear. However, in this state of Sight-Roaming, Chen Lingxi could hear it all clearly, as if he himself were standing beside the two of them.

"Lin Suri never said what he wanted to exchange, nor did he say what treasure was needed to set up the Mountain-Smelting Formation, but the Credit Peddler directly said the Heaven-Heavy Wood."

"It's as if he had already predicted that Lin Suri would come today, predicted that he would set up this formation, and predicted what he was lacking."

"What kind of Immortal Method is this?"

Chen Lingxi suddenly remembered the way the Credit Peddler had calculated with his fingers just now.

The thumb tapped rapidly between the knuckles, seemingly casually, yet subtly revealing an inexplicable mystery.

His mind focused slightly, and a thought suddenly surfaced from the depths of his mind.

"Did he calculate that I was spying on them? And that I needed the Six-Qi True Formula?"

As soon as the thought popped into her head, Chen Lingxi shook her head slightly.

The Divine Chamber is mysterious; it can even create something from nothing, and can construct a world to enact the future.

This Credit Peddler's Immortal Method is so profound that he should be unable to fathom the Divine Chamber.

If this Credit Peddler could truly foresee the Divine Chamber's spying, then what level of cultivation would he possess?

Why would such a being come to this Qi-Less Realm?

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Lingxi's thinking became increasingly divergent.

"This Cave Heaven is not Qi-Bearing Realm."

"Cultivators from Great World come here Truth-Seeking Realm Cauldron-Seizing Realm, but not all of them come in their true forms."

As he thought of this, a fleeting idea flashed through his mind.

Great World come here Truth-Seeking Realm, but it seems that not all of them come in their true forms.

Lin Suri is the eldest son of the Baosu Marquis Residence, born and raised here.

Crown Prince Ying Chi is the Great Li.

Lu Baizhong was born into the Lu Family.

Are they imposters? Have they possessed another's body? Or are they reincarnations?

Chen Lingxi pondered, "Since we Truth-Seeking Realm and Cauldron-Seizing Realm! The Cauldron Vessel is so mysterious that even a mere Cauldron Artifact Fragment of it possesses immeasurable power."

Why don't the Southern Heaven Domain, the Dao-Below Academy, and other Great World sects send stronger cultivators to compete for it? Instead, they send cultivators like Lin Suri, Lu Baizhong, and Ying Chi, who are at the Qi Circulation Realm stage, and even have them try their best to cultivate in this Qi-Less Realm?

"Did they have some kind of agreement, or... are those more powerful cultivators simply unable to enter this place?"

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Chen Lingxi's mind, but then she suddenly heard Lin Suri bow to the Credit Peddler again.

The usually aloof and unsmiling young master of the Marquis's mansion bowed deeply to the ground respectfully, his tone solemn. "In that case, Lin Suri is willing to agree. I hope the Credit Peddler can find the necessary items for me to enter the formation."

Chen Lingxi was speechless for a moment.

Didn't Lin Suri say that the Six-Qi True Method was a secret transmission of the Pool-Soul Institute and could not be passed on to others?

Now that he's sold it to Credit Peddler, isn't he afraid the peddler will resell the Six-Qi True Method?

The Credit Peddler chuckled softly, but his laughter was exceptionally clear in the fog-shrouded valley.

He held out his hand, palm up, fingers slightly spread, and said casually, "You know the rules."

Lin Suri straightened up and said no more.

He reached into his robe and took out a jade pendant.

He held the jade pendant in his palm, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

Spiritual energy flowed quietly from his body, like extremely fine and pale blue threads, spreading out from his fingertips, palms, and wrists, and falling into the jade pendant in strands.

The spiritual energy descended extremely slowly, each strand meticulously controlled, like a craftsman embroidering the most intricate brocade pattern with the finest needle and thread.

It took about fifteen minutes before Lin Suri opened his eyes.

He handed the jade pendant to the Credit Peddler. The jade pendant was no longer pure white, but had a very faint and soft blue light. Countless fine lines could be vaguely seen flowing slowly inside, like a blue serpent sealed in amber.

The Credit Peddler took the jade pendant, weighed it in his hand, examined it closely, and nodded in satisfaction.

He took a step back, and his body, like dissolving mist, sank inch by inch into the rocks behind him.

His silhouette gradually blurred and dissipated on the stone surface, eventually turning into a few wisps of very faint gray mist and disappearing completely beneath the stone.

"Young Master Lin, please return. We'll meet again once I've found the treasure."

The sound came from deep within the rocks, sounding much muffled as if separated by a thick layer of water.

Lin Suri stood silently before that stone for a moment.

Then he turned and stepped into the thick fog.

A mountain breeze blew, and thick fog swirled, obscuring his figure from view. After taking a few steps, he suddenly closed his eyes.

Centered on Lin Suri, the thick fog rippled outwards.

Like a pebble thrown into still water, invisible ripples spread out from Lin Suri, extending in all directions.

Those ripples pierced through the thick fog, through the rocks, through the ancient trees, like an invisible hand, inch by inch exploring every crevice of this Ancestral Mountain.

Through Sight-Roaming's perspective, Chen Lingxi could clearly perceive the fluctuations of spiritual energy contained within those ripples.

Extremely faint, yet extremely dense, it covered every inch of space within a radius of several hundred feet, like a spider web.

After a long while, Lin Suri opened his eyes.

A rare hint of helplessness appeared in his deep eyes.

Still nothing...

He rarely spoke to himself, his voice extremely soft, as if he were talking to himself, or perhaps to the thick fog.

Then he turned around, his steps no longer faltering, and strode out of the Ancestral Mountain. Before long, he left the Ancestral Mountain and returned to the Baosu Marquis Residence.

Inside the inn, Chen Lingxi opened her eyes.

His vision gradually cleared from blurry, but his temples were still throbbing. It felt as if dozens of needles were pricking his brain at the same time, causing him to gasp in pain.

Even though he has now reached the Fourth Floor of Qi Circulation and his spirit is much stronger than before, launching two Sight-Roaming in one day is still somewhat exhausting for him.

He rubbed his temples, and in the moonlight streaming in through the window, stared at the mottled plaster on the wall, remaining silent for a long time.

"The Credit Peddler, the Six-Qi True Method..." His lips moved slightly as he murmured to himself, "Could it be a coincidence? It's just that the Credit Peddler happened to want it, and I happened to need it."

As he pondered this, a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes. "Or perhaps he anticipated that I would seek him out to exchange for the Six-Qi True Formula?"

He leaned against the bedpost, repeatedly sorting through what he had seen and heard during his Sight-Roaming.

The Six-Qi True Method was something he absolutely needed.

After Fourth Floor of Qi Circulation, the spiritual Qi transformed into spiritual liquid and remained in the Qi Sea, thus slowing down the growth of his cultivation. In the Total Perception Evolution, he obtained the complete method of the last three of the Seven Forms of Ceasing War, Qi-Blood Martial Dao could directly reach the Nine Revolutions Perfection. However, his Qi Circulation Realm, without any true secret.

Chen Lingxi could already sense that without the true secret technique, the Fourth Floor of Qi Circulation was his limit, and taking another step forward would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, the people around him were all incredibly powerful. Lin Suri the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor, Ying Chi's cultivation was unfathomable, and Lu Baizhong could kill someone with lightning in the blink of an eye.

not to mention...

"This Cave Heaven is about to be refined into Cauldron Vessel by a True Lord, becoming a resource for cultivation. Without the true secrets, I fear I will not escape this calamity."

A flicker of longing flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes.

This longing is so deep and intense, like a traveler who has been trekking through the desert for a long time suddenly seeing the shadow of an oasis in the distance.

Even if the oasis is just a mirage, he still wants to go and see it.

The fortuitous opportunity for him to obtain the Six-Qi True Formula might very well have fallen on the Credit Peddler on credit.

But then he took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urgency that surged to his chest.

"No rush," he told himself. "Wait for the next moment of Total Perception."

The power of Thorough Awakening Divine Ability allows him to foresee the future, explore the path through the Virtual Realm, and risk his life without having to bear the real consequences.

If he wanted to gain true knowledge from someone as unfathomable as the Credit Peddler, Total Perception was his greatest source of confidence.

Once he Total Perception Essence Replenishment, he can then test the waters in the Virtual Realm.

Let's test this Credit Peddler's methods and see if I can actually get the Six-Qi True Formula from him.

Chen Lingxi suppressed these thoughts for the time being and quietly returned to her residence.

P. S.: More to come later. I'm currently calibrating and correcting typos. I'll post it when it's done.
