A Cultivation Path That Reduced Resource Consumption

The Yangpo Technique can be considered a method that has been spread far and wide.

If any cultivator secretly learns Technique Method, the sect that is targeting them will inevitably investigate and kill them, as it is forbidden to spread such knowledge.

However, once a technique becomes known to many cultivators across the world, such an investigation becomes unnecessary.

What Confucian School excels at is spreading its teachings far and wide. Over the centuries, it has incorporated and disseminated the Technique Method of various schools of thought.

Such acts of envy and resentment have led to the accountability of Confucian School scholars, but while many schools of thought were held accountable, many others were also persecuted.

Ultimately, the Confucian School school of thought continued to diversify and increase, while other schools of thought gradually disappeared.

Gongsun Hong did not shy away from being overheard while lecturing, and Confucian School even had its share of large-scale public sermons.

"This old man talks a good game, but I wonder how good his skills are!"

Zhufu Yan lay back and forth on a rattan chair placed outside the mansion, occasionally eavesdropping on Gongsun Hong's sermons.

The techniques taught by Gongsun Hong were not suitable for Zhufu Yan, Zhufu Yan felt that he did not have enough cultivation resources to squander on cultivation.

However, Gongsun Hong's lectures were meticulous and thorough, a style that Zhufu Yan had never experienced before.

If someone like Gongsun Hong had been there to guide him, Zhufu Yan felt he wouldn't still be a mediocre person at nearly forty years old.

He had frequented various brothels and associated with wealthy and powerful men seeking a living. He had heard many people's opinions about Confucian School, and these hearsay had given him unhealthy ideas. However, when Zhufu Yan listened carefully to Gongsun Hong's explanation, he realized that Gongsun Hong was indeed very knowledgeable, and his impression of him changed greatly.

"This Daoist art requires a great deal of time and energy to cultivate. I truly envy Dongfang Shuo for being both rich and leisurely, and for having the time to learn a technique that the Confucian School somehow acquired!"

He envied Zhang Xuezhou's freedom, and couldn't help but sigh as he glanced at the two swords hidden in his sleeve.

"Brother Master, Master Gongsun's Daoist arts are quite interesting; you could also participate!"

When the invitation came again, the somewhat distracted Zhufu Yan responded with an awkward laugh.

He's only able to afford a horse at his age, and he's already started training his own horsemanship. He doesn't have the financial means to blindly follow Zhang Xuezhou's example.

"If you can grasp the subtleties, you might be able to significantly reduce the amount of elixirs you need for your cultivation," Zhang Xuezhou continued.

"Really?"

Zhufu Yan felt that no matter how Zhang Xuezhou tried to persuade him, it was useless. He didn't have the means to do such a thing, and he could only ignore whatever he heard.

But when Zhang Xuezhou mentioned reducing the amount of cultivation elixirs, he immediately became interested.

"You're not lying to me?" Zhufu Yan asked.

"That's exactly the direction I'm cultivating in," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile. "If you believe it, then follow along and learn; if you don't, then forget it!"

"I believe you, I definitely believe you!"

Zhufu Yan cried out and sat up abruptly from his wicker chair. Gongsun Hong looked on in astonishment, unable to understand why Zhang Xuezhou kept pulling at Zhufu Yan, who seemed like a street urchin.

Moreover, the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique has nothing to do with drastically reducing the amount of pills needed for cultivation. On the contrary, the cultivation and integration of this technique requires a large number of pills to achieve success.

Anyone who isn't a fool knows that creating something from nothing inevitably involves transformation, and this transformation means making sacrifices.

This investment could be time or cultivation resources; one of these must be put in, otherwise how can one possibly master the Technique Method?

On the fundamental principles of cultivation, Gongsun Hong believed that Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerables would have to agree if they came.

Zhang Xuezhou's contrarian approach was illogical, and Zhufu Yan's earnest agreement and trust were even more illogical.

If he wasn't out of his mind, Gongsun Hong thought these two were.

"Mr. Gongsun, the cultivation of the Yang Soul Technique inevitably involves certain requirements, but this technique may have a positive effect on entering the True Self Realm, thereby greatly reducing the requirements for high-level cultivation," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"The cultivation of the Yang Soul Technique is almost equivalent to creating a human being. This kind of cultivation is extraordinary. It is difficult to master without ten or eight years of hard work. To be honest, I have only just entered the threshold. It was only after Zhongshu repeatedly persuaded me to start cultivating." Gongsun Hong said, "Is this technique really as miraculous as you say?"

"I rely on this Daoist art to seek the path to True Self enlightenment, and I won't utter any nonsense," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"You have a long way to go, no rush," Gongsun Hong advised. "The most important thing in cultivation is to build a solid foundation so that you can move forward steadily. If you try to do too much at once, you'll end up biting off more than you can chew!"

"We need to get started," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"No rush, no rush!"

Gongsun Hong offered a word of advice, only to hear Zhufu Yan was sitting in the rattan chair, scoff again. This made Gongsun Hong glare at him angrily, finding Zhufu Yan's temperament quite annoying.

"You old fool, don't you even know who he is?" Zhufu Yan sneered. "Dongfang Shuo has already Sole Self Realm. If he doesn't want to enter the True Self Realm, what do you expect him to think about!"

"What ' Sole Self Realm '? Dongfang Shuo, you've reached the Sole Self Realm '?"

Gongsun Hong's voice hesitated slightly, and his expression changed subtly.

How can one know a cultivator's cultivation level without them showing their skills? The time was not long, and Gongsun Hong still remembered Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level when he explored the Mechanized City.

During the years he spent recuperating and consolidating his cultivation at the Sole Self Realm of Selflessness, Zhang Xuezhou made great strides forward, completing in his thirties the journey that had taken him over sixty years.

Even though Gongsun Hong repeatedly warned himself not to compare himself with others, this progress in cultivation truly shocked him.

"It's just a matter of realm; Technique Method and methods that don't count are just empty words," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"A cultivation Technique Method definitely needs to be intensively studied in the Sole Self Realm," Gongsun Hong felt slightly relieved and then asked, "Are the two Divine Ability abilities you taught me practical?"

"It's not useful for others, but it's very useful for me," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"That's good!"

Gongsun Hong nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but Zhufu Yan seemed to have some ulterior motives, added a couple of comments from the side.

"It's not that I can't say," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "I can endure long periods of wind and rain, take large amounts of pills at once, and quickly digest their effects. This kind of Divine Ability is quite favorable to me personally!"

"Your ability is truly amazing!" Zhufu Yan praised, "When I entered the Sole Self Realm, I also wanted to learn your Divine Ability. Could you teach me?"

"As long as you're okay with it, I don't mind!"

Zhang Xuezhou chuckled, while Gongsun Hong's gaze swept around, and finally he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Have you turned Grain Avoidance Divine Ability?" Gongsun Hong asked.

"Sir, you have great insight!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, and Gongsun Hong felt a sharp pain in his liver. His previous shock at Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level turned into sympathy.

Of course, Gongsun Hong did not deny that this technique was more suitable for Zhang Xuezhou, after all, the other party's physical condition was poor, and a Grain Avoidance Divine Ability could maintain his vitality for a long time.

"Grain Avoidance... what a pity!"

Zhufu Yan didn't mock Zhang Xuezhou's Divine Ability abilities; he just regretted not having mastered the Grain Avoidance Technique in his early years, as he had suffered a lot of hunger and hardship over the years.

Now, Zhufu Yan no longer needs the Grain Avoidance Technique, let alone transforming it into Divine Ability to avoid prolonged hunger.

He felt a pang of regret, but kept a close eye on Zhang Xuezhou and Gongsun Hong.

The ability to avoid hunger Divine Ability Grain Avoidance is merely the most basic skill; the true purpose of this technique lies in the ability to consume and digest large quantities of elixirs at once.

Zhang Xuezhou can produce hundreds or even thousands of pills in one go in the Alchemy Chamber of Shanglin Garden. Such a wealthy and resource-rich cultivator would not speak up casually. The Yang Soul Technique might really save the other party a lot of cultivation resources.

If the other party could do it, Zhufu Yan felt he could give it a try too.

If there's any possibility of reducing the consumption of cultivation resources, his future will be much brighter.
