Spreading Far and Wide

The Rong Household study's discussion of cultivation techniques is merely a starting point.

After consulting with Zhang Xuezhou, Dong Zhongshu would also invite renowned Confucian School scholars to discuss the matter together.

This method of cultivation is not simply about changing one's own cultivation state; it also requires bearing the responsibility for the leakage of the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique.

Dong Zhongshu wanted many people to study this, but he also didn't want to face it alone.

"You wouldn't mind spreading this technique widely, would you?" Dong Zhongshu asked.

"Of course I don't mind," Zhang Xuezhou shrugged. "Just don't hold me responsible if you expose this!"

"If this leads to you being held responsible, then I've already suffered the consequences!"

Dong Zhongshu waved his hand, indicating that he could not withstand the accountability from the Yedie River Holy Land. Not to mention facing Daojun, Dong Zhongshu also did not want to face the Venerable Masters who cursed people behind the scenes.

He needs to manipulate things so that once the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique spreads widely, there will be no need to hold anyone accountable for it.

No Divine Ability or secretive Technique Method, once it spreads to the ears of countless cultivators, it becomes impossible to hold anyone accountable.

If everyone in the martial arts world had a copy of the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, then everyone would be equal, and there would be no need for a life-or-death struggle for it.

Dong Zhongshu's method was simple, yet very practical.

If everyone does not hoard their skills and seeks to master the mysteries of Technique Method, then everyone will gain something.

"And there's another advantage to this," Dong Zhongshu said with a smile.

"What benefits?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"Human strength is finite; I can only try, and success is not guaranteed," Dong Zhongshu said. "If the concept of 'infant transformation' is incorporated into this process, perhaps someone will try it and arrive at a different result than us. Perhaps I am wrong, and he is right; that would be a good thing, and I might be able to turn back in the future!"

Dong Zhongshu was very excited and couldn't wait to test his thoughts. Even if this method required him to use the True Self Realm that he had pursued for most of his life as a test subject, he was willing to be the test subject.

If this is indeed successful, the drawback of Confucian School's inferior Technique Method will be eliminated, and it may even become stronger than some other schools of thought.

If one understands one thing, everything else will follow. This Confucian School way of self-cultivation may no longer need to persuade people to join Confucian School, thus attracting everyone to flock to it.

Without the comparison of who is superior and who is inferior, perhaps the disputes among the various schools of thought could come to a complete end in this generation.

Given the potentially wide-ranging implications, it's not surprising that Dong Zhongshu was willing to gamble with his True Self Realm. He even wanted Confucian School scholars or cultivators from the entire cultivation world to participate.

What Zhang Xuezhou found difficult to understand was a different story for Dong Zhongshu.

"Please make the arrangements as you see fit; I have no objections!"

After hearing Dong Zhongshu's plan, Zhang Xuezhou indicated that he was not stingy with his cultivation methods and did not mind spreading them, as long as the matter did not involve him, since his physical condition could not withstand retaliation.

"Once you've learned the reliable method for achieving Nascent Soul, I'll follow along and learn from you," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"The Realm Technique vary, and each stage presents its own level of difficulty," Dong Zhongshu cautioned. "If I succeed in the future, what I have learned may not be suitable for you. Do not copy it entirely, lest you fail at the last hurdle!"

"Um!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xuezhou likes to copy homework, but he is not only good at copying; he also has his own thinking ability.

Moreover, even if he finds it difficult to understand, there are still Yin-Yang School cultivators in reality, and many people can work together with one heart and one mind. They have even gathered the best talents in the country, so their reserve strength is quite sufficient.

"I'll first have Gongsun Hong sort things out," Dong Zhongshu said. "Once I've met with His Majesty this time, and Gongsun Hong is settled in Chang'an City, things like spreading information will be much easier!"

Dong Zhongshu was referring to was power, which is just as important as the power of a cultivator, and can accomplish things that are difficult for an individual to achieve.

For example, spreading the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique is inseparable from power, thus allowing Dong Zhongshu and others to remain invisible and avoid being held accountable.

"We look forward to Master Dong achieving great success in his cultivation soon!"

Zhang Xuezhou clasped his hands in congratulations, and Dong Zhongshu responded with a smile before bowing and leaving Rong Tianding's study.

The aftershocks of the wedding still lingered outside the study. Zhang Xuezhou glanced outside, then looked at Rong Tianding had been married for a long time but had not yet entered the bridal chamber.

"Cousin, I wish you a speedy birth of a son and an early release from your troubles!"

Zhang Xuezhou also got up. His time back in the real world was not long, and he still had to pick up Zheng Wukong and Chunyu Tiying to go to the mansion to help Aqiao give birth. After discussing the Dao, his schedule became a bit tighter.

"When I was a child, I was captivated and couldn't forget watching the girl next door bathe. Now, I lack desire. The thought of having a child would deplete my vital energy and ruin my life force, so I'd rather sit in my study," Rong Tianding sighed.

"Isolated yin cannot produce life, and solitary yang cannot grow; therefore, Heaven and Earth are paired with yin and yang," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Men and women correspond to yin and yang, and proper balance is not a bad thing. Look at me, I am balanced every day, and my health is not bad!"

"Cousin, your body is extraordinary; I can't possibly match it!"

Rong Tianding grumbled a few times before following Zhang Xuezhou out of the study, then entered the bridal chamber with a resigned expression.

The Rong Household wedding was lively but not out of control. Even though Xu Ji's funeral was interspersed in the middle, and Dong Zhongshu came to discuss philosophy for nearly a day and a half, the wedding proceeded as usual, and there were no wedding pranks.

The feasting and drinking that had lasted for several days began to come to an end the moment they entered the bridal chamber, and Zhang Xuezhou began to pack up everything he needed to prepare for returning to reality.

"Really giving me pills?"

"You're really generous! I'm not stingy!"

"My house call fees don't actually need to be that high!"

"Agree quickly, or I'll be left with nothing after I've completed the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique!"

"Then let's set off! Let's set off now!"

Zhang Xuezhou's invitation to Zheng Wukong and Chunyu Tiying went very smoothly. After all, Aqiao's childbirth was not a difficult or complicated matter, but just a normal delivery. The only trouble was that she needed to stay at the mansion for a while before she could return.

He gave Rong Tianding Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, and personally gave Zheng Wukong and the others two pills each as payment for their house call.

With these two measures in place, Zhang Xuezhou felt that everyone could get along normally for at least three to five years, without having to face life-or-death situations that were difficult to predict.

"Dongfang Shuo, why do I feel that your temperament seems somewhat different from before?"

Sitting in the carriage summoned by Zhang Xuezhou, Chunyu Tiying, whose face was covered by a headscarf, was somewhat surprised, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have changed after not seeing him for a long time.

If they spent every day together, Chunyu Tiying felt she wouldn't have this feeling.

But after being separated for so long and then meeting again, she felt this feeling was extremely strong.

"Do you think I'm being too generous?" Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"It's not a change in temperament!"

Zheng Wukong shook his head.

Chunyu Tiying felt something was off, and Zheng Wukong also had a strange feeling.

If you only select a recent period, you really can't see anything, but if you extend the timeline, the contrast becomes extremely obvious.

From his initial destitution to his current self -Zhang Xuezhou proclaimed 'generosity,' this is a completely different state of being.

This means that Zhang Xuezhou's path has become smooth, and he is no longer the young official from the old Old Tree Alley.

Zhang Xuezhou's Yin-Yang School existed in name only, being Rogue Cultivator without any formal school of thought. Furthermore, his official position in the imperial court lacked any real power. His ability to break through under these circumstances was clearly due to his personal capabilities.

Zheng Wukong felt that Zhang Xuezhou not only possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster cultivator, but also had an extraordinary business acumen, likely having developed his own system under limited conditions.

People like Zhang Xuezhou are rare, but there are many past examples.

After comparing Zhang Xuezhou with other prominent figures of the past, Zheng Wukong felt that Zhang Xuezhou likely possessed the foundation to become the lord of a Sacred Land.
