After-sales Service
My cultivation has improved so quickly, is that my fault?
After watching Ge Wen leave, shaking his head and looking miserable, Hu Mang silently complained.
While having a subpar mentor might be enjoyable most of the time, it can be frustrating when you actually encounter problems.
However, his mentor is not bad. He may be a seasoned veteran, but I still plan to go on the "business trip" with him.
He heard that Old Fifth's mentor was the kind who didn't care about anything and wouldn't even meet with him once a year.
Compared to this, Old Daoist Ge were surprisingly quite good.
Moreover, after cultivating the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, Old Daoist Ge did not leave nothing behind; he kept his experience notes on cultivating the "Three Flowers and Five Qi".
It doesn't end after "Three Flowers Gather at the Crown". In fact, once the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown is mastered, it comes with a variety of wonderful benefits.
For example, after the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, a cultivator can combine the power of the Three Flowers with their own True Qi, Divine Sense, and physical body to form a passive defensive Divine Ability called "Three Flowers Protect the Body".
In this state, the cultivator's body will automatically sense external attacks and automatically mobilize the power of the Three Flowers to defend before the attack reaches the body, with a reaction speed several times faster than actively casting spells.
It is said that when one cultivates to the highest level, one can even become "invulnerable to all magic."
Of course, that's just a legendary level. In reality, being "impervious to all attacks" already makes you a top-tier master.
For example, the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown can also be used to amplify the power of Law Technique. When a cultivator casts a spell, they can inject the power of the Three Flowers into Law Technique, increasing its power by several times or even ten times. In particular, Law Technique that are compatible with one's own attributes can even be used to fight enemies across a whole realm with the blessing of the power of the Three Flowers. For example, the various Technique Method Divine Ability of the Mysterious Peak Sect can be used to fight against Yin Spirit if they are evolved with the Three Flowers.
Besides these magical Divine Ability, there was another skill that made the Hu Mang's body tremble.
That is, after the "Three Flowers are Perfected", one can autonomously transform the "Pre-natal and Post-natal Qi".
This is an ability that only those who have reached the "Perfect Golden Core" level can possess!
Half an hour later, the Hu Mang, now fully reorganized, began its "transformation" experiment.
The Hu Mang opened its pores, slowly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi into its body and guiding it along its meridians to its Dantian.
After the high-level Spiritual Qi entered the Dantian, it flowed and swirled slowly within the Dantian, like water flowing into a huge pool.
And it quickly filled the Lower Dantian.
He first activated the Flower of Essence.
The milky-white flower trembled slightly, its petals slowly opening, emanating a gentle suction that drew some of the Spiritual Qi from the Dantian.
The moment the Spiritual Qi came into contact with the Flower of Essence, it was as if it had been filtered through an invisible screen, with impurities and impurities being stripped away, while the Flower of Essence.
After absorbing the Spiritual Qi essence, the Flower of Essence's color became more lustrous, and a faint sheen appeared on the edges of its petals.
Then comes the Flower of Qi.
The pale golden flower began to rotate gently, receiving the initially purified Spiritual Qi from the Flower of Essence and processing and transforming it again.
The transformation process of Flower of Qi differs from that of Flower of Essence; it is more like a "fermentation" process.
The already refined Spiritual Qi is further evolved, making it even purer and more profound.
After being processed by the Flower of Qi, the Spiritual Qi has transformed from its initial gaseous state into a semi-liquid substance, like thick honey, flowing slowly in the Dantian.
Finally, the transparent purple flower that had just formed gently unfolded, and the patterns on its petals began to glow, emitting a soft light like starlight.
It guides the Spiritual Qi, which has undergone both Flower of Essence Flower of Qi processing, downwards, and then completes the final transformation in an extremely subtle way.
Throughout the entire process, Divine Sense, Law Power, true power, and the connection with heaven and earth all operated in a way never before seen.
This mode of operation could never occur in a low- Spiritual Qi environment.
After a while, the Hu Mang opened its eyes, pointed its fingers as if they were a sword, and a wisp of white light appeared at its fingertips. The high-level Spiritual Qi in the entire Seclusion Chamber danced with its appearance.
"It really is Innate Qi!"
Hu Mang's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and then he began to ponder, his eyes gradually brightening.
If he repeatedly refines his Innate Qi, can he then elevate his Golden Core to the perfect level through acquired forging methods?
What is this? Nurturing the acquired with the innate, nourishing the Golden Core with the Three Flowers?
For the next two weeks, Hu Mang did not study the alchemy methods of this world, but instead devoted himself to repeatedly studying and practicing the "Five Sacred Mountains Bearing Gang Method", "Divine Light of Condensing Peaks", and "Immortal Scripture of Locking Rivers".
He has no experience of "working".
However, he knew several monks working for high-end spiritual enterprises, where the requirements, standards, and benefits were high – these were the standards for employees of listed spiritual enterprises.
This principle applies equally to Heavenly Gate.
Hu Mang didn't believe that the major sects in this world would actually cultivate some mediocre disciples, especially his own Civil Engineering sect, which required a lot of hard work.
An unexpected yet perfectly logical surprise.
The "Three Flowers Gather at the Crown effect" that Old Xie mentioned not only works before the Three Flowers are formed, but also allows for a faster grasp of the evolution of the Three Flowers after they are formed.
After all, in a sense, the Golden Core itself is the fruit formed from "essence, energy, and spirit".
It was precisely because of this efficiency that Hu Mang mastered the Three Flowers technique extremely quickly, and at the same time, his progress in the three sect's magical Law Technique and Divine Ability was also extremely rapid. In just half a month, he reached the minor completion stage.
Then Hu Mang went directly out of the pass and headed straight for the Entering Rivers Mountain.
As one of the Three Mountains, Entering Rivers Mountain is the only top-tier spiritual mountain that can receive outer disciples, and it is also the place where sect servants, clan servants, and even Dharma servants are assigned.
However, even the beginner level of the Hundred Steps was enough to stop at least half of the outer disciples.
Hu Mang stepped onto this step once again, and the familiar feeling of "chasing mountains and crossing peaks" returned.
With a thought, a layer of divine light, like a mountain, appeared beneath his feet.
The light shone with a calm, earthy yellow hue, its color thick and warm, as if it had been formed from soil and rocks over millions of years.
The surface of the light even revealed intricate mountain textures; those textures were clear and vivid, as if mountains and rivers were truly extending beneath his feet.
The moment the divine light flashed, the heavy pressure vanished as if held up by an invisible hand.
Hu Mang felt a lightness throughout his body, and his steps became steady and composed.
"You've mastered the Divine Light of Condensing Peaks technique quite well."
A burly, bearded man passing by saw this, nodded, and then strode over the steps.
The burly man was dressed in a yellow robe and was extremely robust, at least half again as tall as Hu Mang. His shoulders were as broad as a door, and his muscles were so developed that they seemed to burst through his robe. Standing there, he resembled a small hill, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
His face was rugged, with a full beard, but his eyes were bright and piercing, revealing a shrewdness that didn't quite match his appearance. When he saw Hu Mang looking over, he nodded slightly, but didn't introduce himself. Instead, he turned and left.
Hu Mang watched the departing figure and muttered something to himself.
The Mysterious Peak Sect is indeed full of hidden talents; even a burly man you encounter on the road is a formidable character of this caliber.
The other party looked like Demon Beast transformed into a human, but the aura emanating from him was extremely pure innate earth elemental energy.
Rather than saying it's Demon Beast transformed into a human, it's more accurate to say it's the incarnation of a mountain god.
Then, Hu Mang walked smoothly into the Entering Rivers Great Hall.
This time, there wasn't a group of powerful figures watching aggressively. Instead, there were some disciples from the inner and outer sects of the Mysterious Peak Sect. Some were whispering among themselves, while others picked up scrolls on the table and silently sensed them. Some showed joy, while others frowned.
In the Mysterious Peak Sect, there is little difference between inner disciple and outer disciples. The only difference between the yellow robes worn by inner disciple and the yellow robes worn by outer disciples is that the latter have their hands and feet bound. Once the bindings are removed, it becomes the standard yellow robe of an inner disciple.
However, Hu Mang also noticed that the straps binding those outer disciples were all shimmering with rich spiritual light, indicating they were high-grade Spirit Artifact, and many even shimmered with the light of Law Treasure.
Quite ingenious; in terms of magical Law Artifact alone, the outer disciples' equipment is actually better than that of the inner disciples.
According to Old Daoist Ge, sect dispatches are generally divided into four categories: sect servants, sect service servants, law servants, and master's orders.
Among them, the Dharma Order and the Master's Decree must be issued personally by the elders of the sect, while the former two can be obtained directly in the Entering Rivers Great Hall.
As for the difference between gatekeepers and clan servants, gatekeepers are the simplest jobs assigned by the sect. They are assigned to do the job and return home as soon as they are done. Clan servants, on the other hand, are usually assigned to guard posts and are generally sent to places with harsh environments.
As inner disciple, the initial task is to complete a "high-level sect service".
"Senior disciples" are required to lead a team, which generally consists of two to three inner disciple and ten to fifteen outer disciples working together.
The work is usually quite heavy.
Hu Mang casually picked up a few scrolls, opened them, and flipped through them.
