Yanlong Waters, Panlong Island.

Fu Henghua sat in the Skill Cultivation Room on the third floor of Langhuan Pavilion, carefully performing Cultivation Method derivations on a Jade Figurine.

Figurines were a common tool for cultivators to perform Cultivation Method derivations. Improving and repairing Cultivation Methods was an extremely dangerous task. A slight carelessness could lead to Qi Deviation. Naturally, cultivators couldn't risk their own bodies from the start.

Figurines modeled after the human body came into being. By feeding them Essence Blood and circulating True Qi within them, the figurines became "another self."

When the figurine was used for exercise experiments, the cultivator could then try it personally, greatly reducing the probability of Qi Deviation.

The figurine before Fu Henghua was the highest quality Jade Figurine among the "Skill Cultivation Figurines," capable of restoring 70% of the human body. Flesh, meridians were acceptable, but bone marrow and the imprint of life inheritance were difficult to restore through the figurine's "human sacrifice substitution principle."

Naturally, its value was considerable.

"The moon contains the jade rabbit, the sun hides the crow, coiled turtles and snakes form the True Martial. Yin and Yang harmonize to aid the Taiji, the five elements gather..."

Henghua silently calculated the incantation, with a male and a female protector behind him, praying for success this time.

"It must succeed, it must succeed. If we fail again, we really won't have any money." Xiaoyu, as a Maidservant, was responsible for managing the accounts. Right now, Fu Henghua's entire fortune was used to purchase figurines and deduce Cultivation Methods.

This Jade Figurine was the last one.

If he didn't succeed again, where would she go to get money for her young master?

The guard Hengshou silently thought: If the Old Master knew about the young master's spendthrift behavior, how many days would he be beaten and unable to get out of bed this time?

As spiritual energy was derived within the Jade Figurine, the first level of Qi Training, the second level, the third level... step by step, it climbed to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The Gold-Threaded Jade Robe covering the surface of the Jade Figurine began to activate.

The craftsmanship of the Jade Robe was very rough, it was Spirit Armor made by Fu Henghua himself, referring to the Gold-Threaded Jade Robe he saw in a previous life's museum.

Jade pieces emerged with Talismans and Spirit Seals, and streams of spiritual light were activated accordingly. Transmitted through golden threads, the spiritual light surrounded the Jade Figurine.

Suddenly--

The "Lightning Alert Bell" on the east side of the room sensed something, and the purple-gold bell shook rapidly, emitting a loud alarm.

Henghua and the others looked up at the same time.

Purple light leaped, and Heavenly Thunder was slowly gathering in the sky above.

"It's starting, Xiaoyu, Hengshou, retreat!"

The three of them were prepared.

Henghua somersaulted and jumped out of the window decisively, pinching the "Wind Riding Art". A breeze blew, his clothes fluttering, and he stood in the air.

The Maidservant Xiaoyu opened and closed the door, gracefully flashing out of the Skill Cultivation Room.

Hengshou saw his companion's unrighteous behavior, and he happened to be blocked at the door, silently took out a dark iron umbrella. After opening it, he hid in the corner to avoid the lightning.

Rumble--

Thunder crashed into Langhuan Pavilion, and splashing flames ignited in front of the pavilion.

In Panlong Pavilion, Fu Danwei lay on a couch, leisurely enjoying a Maidservant's massage.

"The world is long, twelve hundred years. Wealth and glory, all are in..."

Before the Old Man could finish humming.

Boom--

A deafening roar interrupted him.

The Maidservant suddenly used force, and the Old Man suddenly sat up. She was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Master, spare me!"

The Old Man ignored her and looked at Langhuan Pavilion behind Panlong Pavilion.

Black smoke billowed, and flames blazed.

"That scoundrel, messing around at home again! Your grandfather's life will be ruined by you sooner or later!"

He only had ten years left to live, couldn't he just enjoy his old age for the last ten years?

Fu Danwei's beard trembled with anger: "Someone, go to the back and see. What is that brat messing with?"

The servant boy next to him hurried to move, but before he could run out, he saw a handsome young man walk in.

He was wearing dark red martial attire and saluted: "Grandfather, who are you angry with?"

"Who else could it be, your troublesome cousin--you don't know, he burned down Langhuan Pavilion again last month!"

Burned it again? Was this the seventh or eighth time this year?

Fu Xiangfeng smiled obsequiously while presenting the gift to the Old Master: "Isn't it because you spoiled your cousin that he is so arrogant? Look, this is the Spring Return Pill I brought back for you. It helps with preserving youth and prolonging life."

Fu Danwei rubbed his head full of white hair and sighed: "Don't bother, your grandfather only has a few years left to live. Now the biggest hope is that a few Golden Core Cultivator will appear in your generation. At that time, even if this Panlong Island is given up, you will have a chance to take it back."

He casually placed his finger on Xiangfeng's wrist to check his cultivation.

Suddenly, the Old Man said in surprise: "You broke through? The Samadhi Fire is complete?"

Under the joy of Fu Xiangfeng's breakthrough, he didn't care about the trouble Fu Henghua caused.

Xiangfeng had a bit of restraint on his face: "I had a small adventure when I went out this time." He flicked his fingers lightly, and a scorching flame floated out.

Samadhi Fire is refined from a cultivator's Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and is one of the most common methods for Subduing Demons and Subduing Devils.

"Good, good--"

The Old Man remembered something, and pulled him towards the Langhuan Pavilion.

Fu Xiangfeng quickly dispersed the Samadhi Fire.

"Come, come, go find your cousin and have him deduce a Cultivation Method for you. This cultivation, every realm should be carefully considered. If there is even a slight change, the Cultivation Method must be modified and adjusted."

Cultivation Methods vary from person to person.

The Cultivation Method should adapt to the needs of the person, not the other way around.

If an Earthly Scripture Immortal Art of the fire element is used by a cultivator who is proficient in Thunder Law, it must naturally be modified according to the actual situation. If modified properly, combining Thunder and Fire in cultivation can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If an Immortal Scripture requires the cultivator to be blind, would a normal person gouge out their own eyes to cultivate it? Naturally, the Cultivation Method should be modified to add paths that normal people can cultivate. After all, methods of becoming immortal are hard to come by. Rather than finding a low-level Cultivation Method to make do, it's better to improve and modify an Immortal Incantation to make it your own.

If a Cultivation Method is suitable for men, it must also be modified if a Woman cultivates it. The first cultivator in ancient times observed Heaven and Earth and created Dao Technique. When Transmitting Cultivation Method to the opposite sex, they naturally improved it according to their own Cultivation Method.

Xiangfeng quickly followed the Old Man, from being dragged along at first, to actively supporting the Old Man: "Is this your cousin's Theory again?"

"Your cousin, he's mischievous in a thousand ways and causes trouble in ten thousand ways. But there is one thing, his talent for creating Cultivation Methods is really high."

Xiangfeng nodded silently.

That's right, most of the Fu Family members in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages currently use Cultivation Methods related to Fu Henghua. Don't let this kid's poor cultivation fool you, he's really good at Cultivation Method calculation and creation.

The two rushed to the Langhuan Pavilion and saw the Gardeners carrying buckets, putting out the fire around the Langhuan Pavilion.

"Be careful, don't burn my library." Not far away, a young-looking teenager who looked a bit like Fu Xiangfeng was gesticulating.

Henghua's hair was disheveled, and Xiaoyu was re-arranging it for him.

"Xiaoyu, never mind me. Protect our flower guests first."

The girl looked helpless, waved her hand, and a faint blue Ice Mysterious Qi floated to the flower field, extinguishing the flames on the scorched branches.

Seeing Fu Henghua's face charred from the explosion, Fu Danwei's anger surged, and he picked up the Jade Ruler to hit him.

Henghua caught a glimpse of his grandfather rushing over and decisively fled into the Langhuan Pavilion, flipping over the sign at the door.

"Book Pavilion is an important place, fighting is prohibited."

Eight golden characters flew at the door, and a layer of Immortal Family Restriction enveloped the Langhuan Pavilion.

Fu Danwei was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, so naturally he was not afraid of the Prohibition Spell made by Henghua. But when he arrived at the library, he knew that it contained his own eighty thousand Daoist Scriptures, so he silently stopped and stood at the door scolding angrily.

Fu Xiangfeng quickly came over and supported the Old Man, saying, "Grandfather, calm down, calm down. Little Sixth, come out quickly. Help Third Brother choose a Cultivation Method."

Henghua stood inside the library and, seeing Fu Xiangfeng appease the Old Man, silently released the Prohibition Spell. But he didn't go out, and stood at the door inviting the two in.

By the way, he winked at the maid Xiaoyu.

After the Gardeners put out the fire, Xiaoyu quickly pulled them away to collude, glossing over the fact that her young master had caused trouble again.

"But with Third Young Master back, the Old Master is happy, so he shouldn't be too harsh on the young master, right?"

Langhuan Pavilion, the three members of the Fu Family stood together.

Henghua solemnly picked up the register at the door: "Yi Si Month, Geng Shen Day, Fourth Month Seventh. Fu Danwei brings grandson Fu Xiangfeng, enters Langhuan Pavilion."

Seeing his grandson posing as the curator, Fu Danwei's eyelids twitched, and he forcibly held back from saying anything.

There was no way, since Henghua had shown his talent in deducing Cultivation Methods and repairing incomplete scriptures, he had naturally become his own "Librarian."

The Rules he set in the library were recognized by all the clansmen. As an Elder of the Fu Family, he certainly couldn't take the lead in breaking them.

If he didn't take it seriously and didn't establish the Rules, what would happen if other clansmen took the opportunity to bully his grandson when he was gone?

Suddenly, Fu Danwei thought of something and carefully observed the library.

The library was quaint, with a total of three floors. The mahogany shelves displayed a total of twelve sections and seven hundred and twenty thousand books collected by the Fu Family, both true and ordinary. Among them, the six sections on cultivation included Dao, Techniques, Arts, Skills, Miscellaneous, and News, totaling eighty thousand volumes, encompassing the astronomy, geography, Dao Technique Mantra, Pill Recipe Artifact Talisman Formation, and anecdotes of the cultivation world.

Of course, there were also books written by Fu Henghua himself, such as Hundred Meridians Thousand Meridians Human Body Diagram, Thousand Methods Origin Collection, Dream Observation and Divination, and Northern Star Origin Star Chart. These were the graduation results that Henghua completed under the guidance of Golden Core experts specializing in one Dao. The most recently written book, Thousand Herbs Calculation Record, was a re-edited and reorganized Ancient Cultivator Pill Recipe under the careful guidance of the Dan Dao expert Ge Liu.

After Fuzhou, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Ancient Cultivator era had either changed their names or were completely extinct. Replacing them with other Medicinal Materials was imperative. This was also the work of one branch of Technique Evolution Masters, the Jinfang Remedial Pharmacist. To put it simply, it was the pharmaceutical industry of the previous life.

"Nothing is missing. Where did the fire and explosion just now come from?"

Fu Danwei searched around, his eyes falling on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Not good!

Henghua's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Ahem... Third Brother, have you broken through to the True Fire Realm?"

"Yes. I'm here to choose the next Cultivation Method. Do I need to use the 'Spirit Puppet' to test it?"

"The last time you came before the New Year, I saw that you had Foundation Establishment Perfection and calculated that you were about to break through. I've already prepared three Cultivation Methods for the True Fire Realm for you. Of course, it's best to check them."

Henghua reached out and patted Fu Xiangfeng lightly on the shoulder.

"There is a wisp of Phoenix Qi lingering around you. Did you get an external opportunity? Did you pick up a Phoenix feather, or did you eat Spirit Grass that was contaminated with Phoenix Qi? The Phoenix is the essence of Wind Fire, it seems that the three books I prepared for you are just right."

Afterwards, Henghua brought over the Wooden Puppet: "Inject Magical Power--What are you doing, Old Master?"

Fu Danwei paused and slowed his pace up the stairs: "This old man is going upstairs to take a look. Aren't Cultivation Methods above Foundation Establishment all on the second floor?"

"I calculated Third Brother's cultivation progress at the end of last year, and I've already put the books he'll need on the first floor."

Fu Henghua beckoned, and three cultivation classics flew over from the small bookshelf in the central hall.

"You're always in such a hurry. Come on, help Third Brother take a look. I'll check Third Brother's body."

Pulling Fu Danwei back, Fu Henghua glanced up at the stairs, seeing Hengshou lower a red tassel—the cleaning was complete.

Henghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just clean up the scene and don't let Grandfather find out.

Fu Henghua was developing the Cultivation Method for himself in secret from the family.

Fu Xiangfeng injected True Essence into the Wooden Puppet. The originally crude and simple Wooden Puppet transformed into a small figure with an appearance similar to his, with Acupoints and meridians appearing on the surface.

Then, he circulated the Cultivation Method he was currently practicing, and the True Essence slowly flowed through the puppet's meridians.

Cultivation Methods are derived from cultivators "emulating nature." They use the human body to simulate Heaven and Earth, embodying the workings of Heaven and Earth within the human body.

Legend has it that the first cultivator in the world was originally a mortal. By observing the principles of Heaven and Earth and nature, he thoroughly understood the principles of True Qi circulation. Therefore, every Cultivation Method can be regarded as the operation of a principle of Heaven and Earth.

Fu Henghua looked at the Wooden Puppet, the flow of True Essence like a gust of wind flowing through Heaven and Earth.

"Wait a moment, let the True Essence circulate a few more times. By the way, Third Brother, are you planning to go out again after coming back this time?"

"I'll stay at home for a few days for now, calm down, and cultivate properly. What, are you planning to ask me to bring something back for you again?"

"No, just asking."

"Your Third Brother is going to Fengmen Island to oversee our family's business."

Fu Danwei perused the three cultivation classics.

Cultivation Method classics are divided into two categories: public versions and Secret Script Versions.

Public versions are written in ordinary text and can be read and cultivated casually. Secret Script Versions, on the other hand, are mostly higher-level Cultivation Methods that are written in special Spirit Script for the sake of secrecy.

Deciphering Spirit Script is also one of the jobs of a Technique Evolution Master. Now, these three Cultivation Methods are all public versions that Fu Henghua has finished deciphering.

Learn as you read.

After reading, Fu Danwei handed them to Fu Xiangfeng: "Your brother picked them out for you. One is the Xuanfeng Secret Method, one is the Wind Fire Combined Practice, and the other is for purifying Fire Essence. The third one is fine, but it's not suitable for you. Choose between the first two yourself."

Fifteen hundred years ago, the East Lai Divine Continent sank, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy changed drastically.

Originally, the Five Elements were harmonious, and the Water Fire Qi accounted for the same proportion. But in the Myriad Islands Era, the Water Spirit Qi in Heaven and Earth is abundant. Cultivating Fire Method is extremely difficult.

And with the great changes in Heaven and Earth, cultivators were surprised to discover that the cultivation methods originally created and passed down during the Divine Continent Era gradually couldn't keep up with this new environment.

Cultivation Methods emulate the Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena. When Heaven and Earth change, the Cultivation Methods naturally have to change with them.

The gravity of the tides distorts the Taiyin, indirectly causing changes in the trajectories of the Sun and other Star. All Dao Techniques that use Star as a medium must be adjusted accordingly.

Therefore, the profession of Technique Evolution Master came into being.

Evolving the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the principles of the Myriad Phenomena.

Xiangfeng understood that Fire Method was difficult to cultivate, so he naturally wouldn't choose it.

After roughly looking at the first two, he frowned and said, "Isn't there a quick way to success? Something that can form a Core as soon as possible?"

Fu Danwei's eyes flickered, both gratified and emotional.

Henghua didn't even raise his head when he heard Xiangfeng's words, staring at the Wooden Puppet and saying:

"There are three realms in Foundation Establishment: first, establish the Dao Foundation and purify True Essence. Then, refine True Fire and simmer Jade Liquid. Finally, create a Mysterious Embryo, combine Kan Li Dragon Tiger, and achieve Great Dao Golden Core. This process takes decades at the shortest, and hundreds of years at the longest. If Third Brother plans to quickly form a Core within ten years, then forget about it."

Fu Henghua is good at calculations. In his prediction, Fu Xiangfeng will have to wait at least fifty years before he has a chance to try for Core Formation.

After all, not everyone is as talented as him, able to cultivate a Golden Core within sixty years. Nowadays, generally speaking, forming a Core in three hundred years is considered average talent.

"Even if I obtain Phoenix Destiny?" As he spoke, he pushed the Wooden Puppet to calculate bit by bit according to his own speed of circulating energy.

Henghua observed the energy circulation route, recording Third Brother's energy circulation speed in each meridian: "I can't predict the matter of you obtaining a Phoenix Feather opportunity. But I have already taken into account the possibility of you obtaining an opportunity in advance.

"Fifty years. You will only have the possibility of Core Formation after fifty years. If we're talking about the fastest Core Formation in our lineage, we still have to look at Fifth Uncle. It's just that although he's only one step away from Core Forging, there's not much hope within ten years. It should be thirteen years."

In just three years, Panlong Island will be in danger of changing hands.

Fu Danwei also said: "Feng'er doesn't need to worry about the Panlong Island matter. Even if this island is taken by your Seventeenth Uncle. He is still a member of our Fu Family and will not do anything to our Baihuang Hall."

"But he is from Baiyu Hall," Henghua said lightly, "Baiyu Hall has a small Population, but there are also a dozen or so Direct Descendant clansmen. If you are really gone, Panlong Island will naturally not be our family's to live on."

The Fu Family is a small Cultivation Family in the Yanlong Waters. After thousands of years, there are several Golden Core Cultivators sitting in town, with a prestigious reputation.

However, there are more monks than porridge. Of the three islands and eighteen islets owned by the Fu Family, there are only two low-grade first-class Spiritual Veins.

One is called "Xuanfeng," and the Spiritual Vein is about to be promoted to a middle-grade third-class, which is the Fu Family's ancestral home.

The other is called "Panlong," which is the current Panlong Island, and is under the control of Elder Fu Danwei of Baihuang Hall. This island is isolated and far away from the Fu Family's islands, and Water Demon frequently appear. It was built by Fu Danwei and his father who walked out of the family in their early years, came to this Ruin, constructed a Spiritual Vein, and operated it for hundreds of years.

Now that Fu Danwei is nearing the end of his Lifespan, Baihuang Hall is unable to protect Panlong Island. And the Golden Core Cultivator of Baiyu Hall is at the height of his power and is a natural talent, but currently has no treasure land for cultivation.

The family's plan is to wait until Fu Danwei dies, then the Baihuang Hall lineage will move out, and Baiyu Hall will move in. Then Baiyu Hall will temporarily shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Baihuang Hall clansmen.

It's easy to move out, but it will be difficult to come back.

Fu Danwei smiled and said, "The Golden Flame Islet over at Baiyu Hall isn't bad either. I've discussed it with the Great Elder. We'll take another Spirit Islet and merge it over there later. You'll at least have a low-grade, second-class 'Yanhan' Spiritual Vein."

Fu Xiangfeng felt a pang in his heart.

Their Baihuang Hall had been operating on Panlong Island for seven hundred years, upgrading from a low-grade, third-class Spiritual Vein bit by bit. Although other members of the Fu Family had also contributed, his own branch had clearly put in more effort. How many uncles and elders had died in battle for Panlong Island? And the reason this island was able to restore its former appearance was entirely due to the help of the old master's friends back then.

Whether it was him or Henghua, both were born and raised here.

How could the memories and sacrifices of several generations be given up so easily?

Henghua also thought of his parents' deaths.

In the Demon Tide thirty years ago, Baihuang Hall suffered heavy casualties, with only twenty Direct Descendants remaining. And Fu Danwei, as a Golden Core Elder, burned three hundred years of his Lifespan to kill those three Golden Core Flood Dragons.

Thinking of this, Henghua lowered his eyebrows and head, concealing the redness in the corners of his eyes, and said faintly, "Don't worry, Elder. Grandson is already helping you deduce a Cultivation Method. When you break through, you'll gain another five hundred years of Lifespan. This Panlong Island will still be ours."

"You?"

Fu Danwei looked at his little grandson and slowly shook his head, "Don't mess around, kid. Honestly deduce Cultivation Methods for the clansmen. In the future, you'll have your share of the Cultivation Transmitting Elder position. Our family's Library will still be under your control. Don't mess with anything else. And—stop setting fires in the Library every day!"

His little grandson had outstanding talent in deducing Cultivation Methods. A few years ago, an Immortal Sect even came specifically to recruit him, planning to train him as the most important Sutra Transmitting Disciple in the Sect.

But he was still young and inexperienced. Counting from the time he was in his mother's womb, Fu Henghua had only been cultivating for sixty years and only had a Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Children like him, whose parents were both cultivators, were born with all their meridians open and a Lifespan of three hundred years. Sixty years was just adulthood for him.

When he was a child, his grandson had asked his father why Spiritual People like them grew so slowly, and why they couldn't grow up like mortals in just a few decades.

Then he was met with a series of questions from his father.

"Mortals cultivate to become cultivators, and the children of cultivators are Spiritual People. Birds and beasts cultivate to become Demon Spirits, what is the constitution of the children of Demon Spirits?"

"Many Demons retain their original habits and can reproduce thousands or tens of thousands at a time. Are all of these descendants Demon Beasts?"

"If only most of them are the original animals, and a few are Demon Beasts, then is the growth time of these few the same as that of the original animals?"

The Heavenly Dao is balanced, and there is always a loss for every gain.

Powerful and talented beings are always restricted in various ways.

A more obvious example is the powerful existences like Dragons and Phoenixes. Young Dragons and Phoenixes don't develop their Minds either, and they spend their childhoods even more slowly. It may take three to five hundred years for them to mature.

The Mind suppression of Spiritual People is just a negligible price compared to the high talent and bloodline divine powers they are born with.

According to the vague hints his father mentioned, there seemed to be a great secret behind the Mind deficiency of Spiritual People, which Fu Henghua could explore on his own when he grew up.

Now, Fu Henghua was born as a Spiritual Person. Although he experienced the trouble of Mind suppression, he was born with the Wise Heart, one of the Fu Family's six bloodline talents from Panlong Island.

He had Eidetic Memory, Knows All Laws, and was best at deduction.

Henghua could now easily deduce Immortal Dao Cultivation Methods at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels. But when it came to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul levels, he was completely clueless. Even though he had formed a Golden Core once, he knew what it was but not why, and was still confused about how to form a Golden Core in the Immortal Dao.

There were 80,000 volumes of cultivation classics in Langhuan Pavilion, of which only thirty-three were proper books or fragments related to Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivation.

Inspired by these books, Fu Danwei believed that his grandson knew more about the Golden Core realm than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. But to say that he could create a Cultivation Method for Golden Core Cultivators was still unrealistic.

Seeing that Fu Danwei didn't believe him, Henghua was too lazy to argue.

Did he really think he was just playing with fire in Langhuan Pavilion all these years?

Those were all legitimate acts of experimenting with Cultivation Methods.

Henghua thought to himself: When the time comes, I'll put the Cultivation Method in front of him, and the facts will be the most convincing answer. By the way, it wouldn't be too much to move the old man's treasure trove into my room, right?

Speaking of creating Cultivation Methods, Fu Henghua suddenly thought of a joke in the cultivation world:

Master: Why haven't you formed your Nascent Soul yet!

Disciple: I don't have a Nascent Soul Cultivation Method.

Master: Then hurry up and deduce a Cultivation Method.

Disciple: But I'm not a Nascent Soul Cultivator, I can't deduce a Nascent Soul Cultivation Method!

Master: Then hurry up and form your Nascent Soul.

Disciple: But I don't have a Nascent Soul Cultivation Method!

In the end, the master was almost angered to death by his rigid disciple and kicked him out of the Sect.

Although it was just a joke from the Shenzhou era, of unknown authenticity, it pointed out a problem.

Where did the first Nascent Soul Cultivation Method come from?

If the first Nascent Soul Grandmaster successfully formed their Nascent Soul with an existing Nascent Soul Cultivation Method, then where did this Cultivation Method come from? If the Cultivation Method was created by the Nascent Soul Grandmaster, then how did the Nascent Soul Grandmaster who created the Cultivation Method initially form their Nascent Soul?

This question could also be applied to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even ascending to Immortality.

Where did the method of becoming an immortal come from?

If it was taught by an immortal, then where did the Cultivation Method of the first immortal come from?

From this, the cultivators proposed the method of "Practice - Theory - Practice."

Through a large amount of Practice, they sought the operating rules of Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena, so as to simulate their own Cultivation Method for the next level.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator observes the Heaven and Earth Myriad Phenomena, creating and deducing a Golden Core Dao that belongs solely to them.

A Golden Core Cultivator, through millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of deductions and practice, creates a Nascent Soul Dao that belongs solely to them.

But if the deduction fails, Qi Deviation follows. Some cultivators cherish their reputation and would rather seek help from others than risk themselves easily.

Technique Evolution Masters, cultivators who specialize in deducing Cultivation Methods, thus have their own position. Most Sects and families have their own Cultivation Transmitting Elder. Helping fellow clansmen or cultivators who practice the same Cultivation Method undoubtedly yields twice the result with half the effort. It also frees up other cultivators to strive for the Sect and family.

Ordinary cultivators tailor the Cultivation Method one level higher for themselves.

Technique Evolution Masters can span two minor realms, or even a major realm, using special talents such as Wisdom, Heavenly Eye, and Mysterious Wisdom to understand the principles of nature and compile them into a Cultivation Method.

Fu Henghua is one such person. He successfully established his Foundation with immortal methods and has touched the principle of "innate True Fire," allowing him to deduce the Foundation Establishment, True Fire, and Mysterious Embryo realms. But he scratches his head when faced with the method of forming a Golden Core in the Immortal Dao. As for the Nascent Soul Method above that, even if he dared to create it, no one would dare to cultivate it.

Even if there is Core Formation experience from a Dao Lineage other than the Immortal Dao... in the two steps of Golden Core and Nascent Soul, Heretical Path experience can't help much. One can only say, "Try your best, and leave life and death to fate."

"It's a pity. If it weren't for Grandpa's Dao Heart being damaged and his ambition completely lost, I wouldn't need to put in so much effort. With his talent, deducing Cultivation Methods himself would be the most reasonable."

Fu Danwei stared at Henghua, also considering his future.

A Technique Evolution Master, a cultivator who can deduce Cultivation Methods for others, is naturally a treasure of a family or Sect. But precisely because they are treasures, the family will absolutely not allow such a person to go out easily.

"This old man has ten years of Lifespan left and can protect him a little. If this old man is gone, it's true that the others in Baihuang Hall will move out. But he will have to stay and continue guarding Langhuan Pavilion. I'm afraid he will hardly have any freedom in this life."

Thinking of this, Fu Danwei had an idea. He said to Fu Xiangfeng, "You're going to Fengmen Island later. Take Little Six with you--"

"What?"

"Me?"

Fu Henghua was about to help his Third Brother check his body when he heard this. The two were stunned at the same time.

Then they said in unison, "No!"

Supplementary Record:

Fengshui Kanlong Art says: The Donglai Spiritual Vein has three grades: upper, middle, and lower, each with three ranks. Depending on the grade, the Spiritual Vein nurtures different Spiritual Roots and exotic beasts. For a lower first-rank Spiritual Vein, Dragon and Phoenix are the best, capable of producing Panlong Wood and Fengtong Wood.

Supplementary Record:

Hundred Knowledge of Cultivation · Spiritual Person:

The Dao of cultivation is to Defy Heaven, and the difficulty for cultivators to give birth to children is ten times greater than that of mortals. The pregnancy lasts for ten months at the shortest and several years at the longest.

The Spirit Child born has a Lifespan of three hundred years, All Meridians Unblocked, and can Entering the Dao from birth, incurring Heaven's Jealousy. Before Adult, they are subjected to three "Spiritual Energy Outbursts."

The first is at the full moon. Surviving it means living; failing it means dying young.

After ten years, the Spiritual Person's development stops, and their Mind and appearance are like children.

The timing of the second Spiritual Energy Outburst is uncertain. Failure means death. Survival means entering the Youth Stage, with seminal emission for males and the onset of menstruation for females.

The third Spiritual Energy Outburst, surviving it means Adult.

The time of the Spiritual Energy Outburst varies, but it can be as late as a hundred years.

The ancients said, "A Hundred Year Old Spiritual Person can only then become Adult."

Spiritual People are mostly found in cultivation families, nurtured by Spiritual Veins. If the Spiritual Vein is destroyed and the Clan Branch is cut off, then the Spiritual Person becomes extinct.

In this article's setting, because Spiritual People have superior cultivation talent, their Mind is Lock-on by the Heavenly Dao.

Because of the three-hundred-year Lifespan, Mind maturity is also slow. Sixty years old is equivalent to the sixteen-to-eighteen-year-old stage.

The reason for lengthening the timeline is because readers don't want to see Foundation Establishment at eighteen, Golden Core at thirty, and becoming an immortal at a hundred, right?

Please don't get hung up on time in cultivation novels. Often it's thousands or tens of thousands of years, and a group of protagonists all have a Youthful Appearance. Are we supposed to calculate it according to the elderly stage of mortals, and they all have to have the mentality of old people?

--

Friendly reminder: Immortal cultivation novels involve longevity, and the timeline is very long.

Taking one thousand years as the standard, sixty years is just the beginning.

Please don't ask why sixty years old is still a Youthful Appearance and has a Youthful Disposition, and doesn't look like an old person.

Don't really strictly apply the sixty-year-old Old Man in reality to it!

I don't want immortal cultivation novels to be a group of old men and old women in Sword Duels and Combats. Isn't it better to have Handsome Men and Beautiful Women with Youthful Appearance?

Isn't it better for young people to Act Righteously and Sword Traverse together?
