Writing a Letter to Evolve Techniques, a Few Words Can Dissolve Demon Poison

Under the night sky, Heng Hua spread his arms and spoke into the wind:

"The Nascent Soul method I deduced back then referenced the five Nascent Soul techniques our clan originally possessed. I made minor improvements based on my grandfather's cultivation path, but it helped him very little. The chance of reaching Nascent Soul was only two to three percent.

"Grand Uncle Tai also designed a Nascent Soul method for grandfather. Its success rate was slightly higher than mine, but it also wasn't very effective. What truly increased grandfather's chances of breaking through was a higher-level mental cultivation technique from the Nine Degrees Fufeng Immortal Scripture."

"Is it because grandfather broke through using the Core Formation method from the Immortal Scripture, meaning the paths are of the same origin?"

"Not only that. The Fufeng Scripture shares the same bloodline origin as us. Our ancestors, the great cultivators of our clan, all cultivated this method. Perhaps through this technique, grandfather can receive some aid from his bloodline."

Not to mention the unverified Fufeng Immortal Palace cultivators from the Fu Family's ancestors. Fu Danwei's father and grandfather both cultivated the Core Formation method within the Fufeng Scripture.

Even if only one percent of spiritual energy was inherited through the bloodline, it would be of great help to Fu Danwei's cultivation.

"The Nascent Soul chapter of the Nine Degrees Fufeng Immortal Scripture..."

Xiang Feng gave a wry smile, looking troubled.

With the destruction of the Fufeng Immortal Palace and the scattering of its orthodox texts, where could the Nascent Soul chapter be found?

Currently, the known inheritances of the Fufeng Scripture were the Fu Family's Core Formation method and the Wei Family's Nine Winds Qi Refining Method.

"You instigated grandfather to make a move on the Wei Family just for that Qi Refining Method?"

"Yes. I've seen the Core Formation method preserved by the Fu Family. It's like a rootless tree, neither here nor there. Besides increasing the chance of a Golden Core Cultivator forming their core, it has no other use. I cannot deduce the true principles of the Fufeng Scripture from this Core Formation method. However, with the Wei Family's Qi Refining Method as a reference, I can glimpse the foundational Dao intent of the Nine Degrees Fufeng Immortal Scripture."

Every technique has its principles and goals.

Heng Hua's former Evergreen Technique focused on longevity and life preservation, eternal youth. It involved circulating qi throughout the body, following a moderate path, and integrating all kinds of qi.

Xiang Feng's current Lingxuan Fenghua Jue cultivates swirling wind spiritual power. It transforms the Twelve Regular Meridians into vortices, eventually merging the twelve vortices into one. The cultivator becomes like a spiritual wind vortex, constantly absorbing and expelling spiritual energy.

But the Nine Degrees Fufeng Immortal Scripture, hailed as a treasure for ascending to immortality, what were its principles, and how did its cultivation path proceed?

None of these things were known, making it impossible to deduce a Nascent Soul method.

"Besides this, is there no other way?"

"If we can't find the Nascent Soul method of the Fufeng Scripture, then we'll have to improvise and create a Nascent Soul method tailored to grandfather's current state. But that kind of request is even more troublesome."

Heng Hua sighed, "I have too little information."

In the Fu Family, Yellow Grade Foundation Establishment techniques were commonplace. Heng Hua, doted on by his parents since childhood, had read through countless techniques aimed at Foundation Establishment, treating them as bedtime stories during his childhood. He could recite them backward and forward.

Therefore, he could synthesize the essence of various schools and tailor Foundation Establishment mental cultivation techniques according to each person's characteristics.

Although Xuan-level techniques were not as common as Yellow Grade ones, the Fu Family had preserved and collected them for millennia. The number of techniques aimed at Golden Core was also substantial.

With his talent, Heng Hua could create some Xuan-level techniques himself. If he were to improve upon existing techniques, it would be a sure thing.

But beyond that, how to achieve Nascent Soul after Golden Core? How to overcome the tribulation?

When it came to the Earth Canon, aimed at achieving immortality, Heng Hua was stumped.

The Fu Family was, after all, just a mediocre cultivation family, neither large nor small. They could obtain countless Yellow Grade techniques and large quantities of Xuan-level technique fragments. However, for techniques and arts after Golden Core, they only had a total of thirty-three pieces. Only five pieces described how to form a nascent infant and cultivate to Nascent Soul.

Xiang Feng pondered, "If I find a proper immortal ascension treasure, would it be convenient for you to modify it to suit grandfather's current needs?"

Heng Hua shook his head, "Third Brother, do you know that your request is exactly what a Technique Evolution Master dislikes most in a client?"

Technique Evolution Masters generally had two types of work. One was writing, and the other was revising.

Writing involved creating techniques from scratch based on inspiration, tailored to specific needs, without constraints, allowing for wild imagination and free rein.

This kind of creation was like a craftsman wielding a large axe, acting with abandon.

Revising books was more troublesome.

The simplest form of revision was when technique books were damaged, with blurred text or spiritual inscriptions, or when the author intentionally left flaws that required special secret codes to decipher. This kind of translation and repair was not difficult for a Technique Evolution Master.

A further step in revision involved a cultivator selecting a suitable technique, and then making minor modifications to it based on the cultivator's own situation. It was similar to how Heng Hua specifically modified a few qi circulation pathways in Xiang Feng's Lingxuan Fenghua Jue.

The most difficult type was when you were given an existing immortal book and forcefully required to modify it for someone completely unsuitable for cultivating it.

Repairing books was like a skilled craftsman meticulously carving, with a structured approach. The more requirements there were, the more constrained they became, making it difficult to perform well.

Heng Hua had always selected suitable books for suitable individuals and then repaired them himself. He had never attempted to modify a high-level Daoist scripture for someone completely unsuitable.

"Unsuitable is unsuitable. Forcing a modification while retaining the original intent of the immortal book and fitting grandfather's physical condition is beyond my knowledge and learning. If it truly reached that level, I could create a Daoist scripture for grandfather myself."

A thankless task?

Xiang Feng was speechless.

"However, Third Brother, rest assured. Regarding the techniques, I have a plan in mind. The key lies in the Yuan-Boosting Immortal Medicine. There are many medicines that can restore a great cultivator of Golden Core to their peak. But to increase grandfather's success rate, the medicine must be of the highest quality, leaving no future troubles. I've already spoken with Second Uncle and several uncles. Keep an eye out when you're out and about."

It wouldn't do if I came up with the technique, and you guys didn't prepare the Yuan-Boosting Medicine. That would be even more frustrating.

Suddenly, two beams of treasure light flew towards the Cai Luan Spirit Boat.

Both looked up. Xiang Feng flicked his finger, and the lanterns hanging around the spirit boat lit up with Brocade Dragon patterns.

"This is a spirit boat of the Fu Family. What business do you two Fellow Daoists have?"

"We are seeking fellow Daoists of the Fu Family to request two detoxification pills."

The treasure light dissipated, and two young cultivators appeared.

Both wore green robes. The one on the right had a sallow complexion, appearing almost like a living corpse.

The Howling Fish emerged from the ship and, upon seeing the two individuals, couldn't help but recall the three green-robed puppets they had encountered earlier that day.

She secretly became vigilant. Then, Xiang Feng leaped down from the canopy.

"Detoxification pill? What are your names?"

"I am Nie Xing, and this is my junior brother, Liu Xu. Earlier today, we were walking in the water when Liu Xu was accidentally injured by a fish demon. We don't have a suitable detoxification pill on hand, so we came to the Fu family to inquire."

Xiang Feng looked at Liu Xu. His aura was weak, and he was currently using his True Essence to protect his Heart Meridian, preventing the poison from invading his internal organs.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, may I examine you?"

Liu Xu couldn't speak and could only blink his eyes.

Nie Xing cupped his hands and said, "Please proceed, fellow Daoist."

Xiang Feng examined Liu Xu's condition and mused, "Fellow Daoist Liu has contracted fire poison. This is simple; I happen to have a bottle of Mysterious Moon Toxin Dissipation Powder. I can give it to Fellow Daoist Liu—"

"The poison afflicting this fellow Daoist isn't from our Yanlong Waters, is it?"

Suddenly, Heng Hua's voice came from the canopy.

"Peacock Fire, Poisonous Scorpionfish. These are sea creatures. Are you two from the East Sea Waters?"

Donglai Continent had transformed into thirteen water regions with numerous islands. To the east of the Yanlong Waters lay the former East Sea territory, one of the four major saltwater regions.

Upon seeing the person on the ship's roof, Nie Xing was slightly taken aback.

A young man in a white robe, with an extraordinary bearing.

He propped his chin with one hand, scrutinizing his fellow disciples. The other hand trembled slightly, as if casting a spell.

"And this is...?"

"My younger brother," Fu Xiangfeng explained briefly before asking on Heng Hua's behalf.

Nie Xing reacted and quickly said, "It is indeed a Scorpionfish demon. We are disciples of the Divine Moon Sect from the central region of the Yanlong Waters. We were on our way to the East Sea Waters for some business. On our return, my junior brother was accidentally poisoned."

Scorpionfish also had a more common name: lionfish.

They were colorful and venomous.

Fish demons that had attained the Dao from lionfish were among the most venomous water demons in the sea, whom even Flood Dragons and other powerful beings were reluctant to provoke.

"How did this young brother know it was Peacock Fire poison?"

"If it were one of the most potent types of Scorpionfish poison, could Fellow Daoist Liu still blink his eyes right now?"

Heng Hua retracted the Thousand-Winding Silk he had secretly deployed.

After a moment of thought, he said, "The Divine Moon Sect's White Moon Azure Water Scripture is based on the concept of water and moon, with True Essence that is gentle. It's likely that Fellow Daoist Liu is using his White Moon True Essence to suppress the fire poison. However, the fire poison of the lionfish is a 'water fire,' extremely stubborn. Attempting to dissipate it with a bottle of Mysterious Moon Powder will only leave residual toxins in the body, hindering future cultivation. Howling Fish, give him two Jade Li Fire Defeating Pills. Third Brother, help him circulate his energy to expel that poisoned blood."

After giving a few pointers, Heng Hua no longer showed himself.

The people below looked at each other. The Howling Fish quickly brought the pills.

Nie Xing hesitated slightly. Xiang Feng smiled, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. My younger brother is very knowledgeable, and what he said should be accurate."

With his own brother's medical lineage established, he was certainly trustworthy.

Only then did they slightly relax. Liu Xu reached out to take the pills and was about to put them in his mouth.

"Wait—"

Heng Hua spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, please examine them first, lest there be any issue with these pills."

When traveling, could one casually consume pills given by others? If something went wrong, wouldn't they be blamed?

Nie Xing shook his head, "The five great families of the eastern Yanlong region—if the Wei family were here, my junior brother and I wouldn't dare to linger, we'd turn and flee. But since you are from the Fu family, the pills are naturally fine."

Although Liu Xu couldn't speak, he nodded slightly and directly consumed the two pills.

Heng Hua was quite surprised, while Fu Xiangfeng appeared to have expected this. He walked over and channeled his energy into Liu Xu, forcing out the poisoned blood.

As a stream of poisoned blood was expelled, Xiang Feng flicked his finger, and Samadhi True Fire pursued and incinerated it, preventing pollution of the Immovable Reef.

Nie Xing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his gratitude, taking out a small box of Bright Moon Pearls.

"Your brother's kindness is immense, and I have no way to repay it. Here are sixty Moon Pearls as a token of my gratitude."

Donglai Continent had already become a land of water. Naturally, it was no longer possible to search for spirit stones and precious jade in the mountains as currency, as it had been a thousand years ago.

The current currency circulating in the various water regions were shell coins, moon pearls, and water spirit jade condensed from the spiritual energy of water demons.

Clams raised for a hundred years, their shells imbued with the essence of the sun and moon, had a jade-like texture. Their pearls were called "Bright Moon Pearls" and contained Taiyin spiritual energy. Because they could emit light at night, they were also known as "Night Pearls."

Generally speaking, ten shell coins could be exchanged for one Moon Pearl of a hundred years' cultivation.

The box of Moon Pearls Nie Xing presented was the most standard hundred-year-old Bright Moon Pearls.

Seeing the gleaming silver Bright Moon Pearls, Xiang Feng quickly shook his head and politely refused, "It was merely a small effort, nothing to mention."

"No, no, your honorable brother's small effort is equivalent to saving my junior brother's life."

After some back and forth, Xiang Feng said with a wry smile, "Please, don't be like this. My grandfather often instructed us to help fellow cultivators when traveling. If he knew we received such generous compensation, he would surely scold us."

In the end, he only accepted the cost price of two Jade Li Fire Defeating Pills, which amounted to twenty-four Bright Moon Pearls.

Nie Xing and Liu Xu expressed their thanks repeatedly.

"We are deeply indebted to your two brothers for your kindness. If you ever come to the central region, to the territory of the Divine Moon Sect, you may report our names."

Seeing the two about to leave, Heng Hua remembered something. "Fellow Daoists, while traveling in the central continent, have you heard of 'Mysterious Gold Ginseng,' 'Moon Grass,' and 'Eternal Fire Stone'—these three spirit materials?"
