Born with immortal seed

Chapter 25 Qingfeng Sect

For Bai Xianzong personally, the importance of the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique far exceeded that of the Taiyin Suyun Xuanshui True Skill by ten or even a hundred times.

No matter how good the Taiyin Suyun Xuanshui True Skill is, he cannot change his cultivation method. First, his spiritual root is not compatible. Second, re-cultivating the cultivation method means that all his magical power must be cultivated again after the foundation is established, which would waste at least ten years.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Foundation Establishment cultivators enjoy a long lifespan of two hundred years; even casually cultivating a second-tier skill takes at least several years. Reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment cultivation takes decades, so if you think about it carefully, there simply isn't enough time.

Unlike the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique, which Bai Xianzong had already roughly looked at, the cultivation difficulty was not high.

Moreover, it is divided into three levels, further reducing the difficulty. The first level may be completed in a year or two.

However, for the Bai family, the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique, which can only be practiced by Foundation Establishment cultivators, is still too advanced. Even without restrictions, it can only be kept on a high shelf.

"Bai Zichen will be rewarded with 500 points of family contribution for handing over the Desolate God Stealing Sun Technique. In addition, 500 points of contribution will be transferred from my personal account to him."

Family rewards should not be biased, but rewards that come from individuals are fine.

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally take you to the Azure Maple Sect to see what resources these two cultivation techniques can bring back for your families. If the Azure Maple Sect accepts them, you two will receive additional rewards."

In Bai Xianzong's view, the Qingfeng Sect might not offer a high reward for the Taiyin Suyun Xuanshui True Skill, but the Huangshen Stealing the Sun Technique would be different.

The Azure Maple Sect has five main halls and seven chambers, with over thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators, all of whom are skilled in the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique.

Those who are older, and those few cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, are even more eager for this cultivation method.

Regarding lifespan extension, the most common Golden Jade Heart Pill can add twenty years to one's lifespan with just one dose, and it only takes effect after the first dose. In recent years, it has appeared at auction houses, with the transaction price generally fluctuating around three thousand spirit stones.

As for the spiritual materials used for Core Formation, the most commonly used by cultivators in Mizhou is Pure Spirit Jade Marrow, which is a secret realm discovered by the previous Core Formation ancestor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Every sixty years, a hundred drops of Pure Spirit Jade Marrow will be condensed.

Refining a drop of Pure Spirit Jade Marrow can increase a cultivator's chances of forming a Core by 10%.

Besides the consumption by cultivators within their own sects, a portion is also sold, and usually only forces with good relations with the Myriad Beasts Sect can purchase it.

Even at the friend's price, a single drop of Pure Spirit Jade Essence costs over 20,000 spirit stones.

It is precisely because of the Pure Spirit Jade Marrow, a spiritual treasure for Core Formation, that the Myriad Beasts Sect has flourished over the past thousand years, producing several Core Formation True Immortals in succession. Furthermore, it has extensive connections, and even sects in several nearby states give it face, showing a growing trend towards becoming the number one sect in Mizhou.

The Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique has two major functions: prolonging life and increasing the probability of forming the Golden Core. Its value is self-evident.

The next day.

As the head of his clan, Bai Xianzong naturally possessed a flying artifact, a top-grade gourd-shaped artifact. After being summoned, it swelled hundreds of times in size with a gust of wind.

The gourd has several recessed areas, just enough for a person to sit down.

"Flying magical artifacts are really strange and unusual, with all sorts of designs. Didn't those master craftsmen consider ergonomics when forging these artifacts?!"

Bai Zichen sat on the gourd and couldn't help but grumble inwardly. However, he also knew that few weapon refiners would put much effort into studying the magic weapons used by Qi Refining cultivators. In contrast, the Spirit Weapon stage was full of ingenious ideas and sparks of genius.

Fortunately, although this gourd has an odd shape, it flies much faster than the peach blossom basket.

Soon, a majestic green mountain came into view, its main peak resembling a sharp sword soaring into the sky.

White clouds lingered, and the faint cries of cranes could be heard as several pure white cranes flew among the mountains.

Rolling hills and peaks, babbling brooks and steep ancient streams, a waterfall cascading over the mountains and rivers—what a fairyland scene!

Bai Xianzong flicked his finger and released a burst of magical power, which gently struck the protective array of the Qingfeng Sect. In an instant, two disciples of the sect appeared.

"Could it be Senior Bai Xianzong, the current patriarch of the Bai clan of Mozhu? The elder guarding the mountain has ordered us to welcome the guests of the Bai clan to Luoxia Peak for rest."

"It is indeed me, Bai. May I ask which sect's high-ranking cultivator is this year's mountain-guarding elder?"

Bai Xianzong put away the gourd and asked with a gentle expression.

It was not surprising that the Qingfeng Sect disciples knew their identities in advance. The sect's formation covered an area of ​​a hundred miles, so even if it was not actually activated, the slightest movement could be observed.

"It's Master Ma, the foremost disciple of the previous generation. He went into seclusion five years ago and successfully established his foundation. He has just taken over the position of the mountain-guarding elder!"

The two Qingfeng Sect disciples spoke of their Uncle Ma with pride and admiration.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ma. It's been years since we last met. You've become a Foundation Establishment cultivator." Bai Xianzong's eyes twitched, clearly recognizing this former true disciple surnamed Ma. "Please, young friends, lead us to Luoxia Peak."

Luoxia Peak is a place specifically for Qingfeng Sect to entertain guests, with dozens of courtyards built against the mountainside. Each courtyard is far apart, creating a tranquil environment.

"Such pure spiritual energy! I feel the speed of refining my mana is at least 30% faster than outside!"

Bai Zichen took a deep breath, clearly sensing that the spiritual energy here far surpassed that of Hanxiu Peak.

If I could cultivate in this environment, I wouldn't need five years to reach the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"The Qingfeng Sect is built upon a third-tier spiritual vein and has set up a third-tier grand formation to connect with the earth's veins and mobilize spiritual energy, ensuring that not a single trace of spiritual energy leaks outside the formation. Furthermore, the third-tier grand formation can also alter the course of the spiritual vein to a limited extent."

"For example, the spiritual energy concentration in the outermost outer sect disciples' residences is only at the lower second rank, while that in Luoxia Peak and the inner sect disciples' residences has risen to the upper second rank, and only the core of Qingfeng Sect can reach the third rank."

"I estimate that the Qingfeng Sect has special methods to gather spiritual energy, further purifying the spiritual energy at the very center of the spiritual vein, forming a small section of high-grade third-tier spiritual vein for the two Core Formation cultivators to use."

This wasn't Bai Xianzong's first time visiting Qingfeng Sect; in fact, this was his third time staying in this courtyard on Luoxia Peak.

After removing the jade plaque with its restrictive effect from the gate and injecting a wisp of magic power, a simple warning and defense function was activated.

"You two stay in the courtyard for the next few days and don't wander around. I estimate it won't be long. The Qingfeng Sect won't allow us cultivation families to gather together for this; they'll likely meet us in batches. However, when it comes to distributing the rewards, elders generally can't make the decision; it depends on when those important figures are available."

After giving a brief explanation, Bai Xianzong went back to his room. He was in a hurry to study the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique and didn't want to waste a moment.

three days later.

Finally, a steward from the Qingfeng Sect came to inform the Bai clan members that they should move to the Ancestral Hall to discuss the exchange of the cultivation techniques obtained from the inheritance stone tablet.

The Ancestral Hall is a three-story pavilion, smaller than the Bai Family Main Hall. As Bai Zichen climbed the steps, he spotted an old turtle the size of a millstone lying in the pond in front of the door.

The old tortoise was covered in moss and mud; if it weren't for the occasional movement of its eyes, it would look no different from a stone statue.

"A first-tier peak-level demonic beast... no, it should be called a spirit beast!"

As Bai Zichen passed the pond, he sensed the old turtle's powerful aura and realized it was a top-tier first-order spirit beast, corresponding to a human cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Those that grow freely in mountains and rivers are called demonic beasts, while those that are raised by cultivators and have signed contracts are called spirit beasts.
