Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1174 Sell it at a good price

[The Human World].

When Pan Huang came to his senses, a dashing young Taoist priest appeared before him, holding a crimson jade slip in his hand.

'! ! '

In an instant, Pan Huang frowned, his heart filled with surprise and doubt. When did it appear? And when was the jade slip taken away?

The young Taoist's status shocked him deeply; he was higher than him. Not higher than him now, but higher than him back when he was still in the Heavenly Ascension Realm! Although the difference was only slight and not enough to cause a qualitative change, it was enough to show the gap between them.

'No wonder I made a special trip to see him.'

Even from Pan Huang's perspective, Ling Xiao's cultivation level would have made him a prominent figure in the ancient golden age, second only to the Dao Lord!

This is why the world is going downhill and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

Otherwise, a Great True Lord who has reached this stage would already be able to discuss the Dao with the Dao Master, listen to the teacher's teachings, and seek their own primordial spirit path.

Thinking of this, Panhuang couldn't help but shake his head.

On the other side, Ling Xiao scanned the crimson jade slip with his divine sense, and then he frowned, his already serious expression becoming even more solemn.

'What a wonderful method!'

The contents of the jade slip flooded into Ling Xiao's mind like a tidal wave, transforming into two methods, one long and one short, each of which brought him immense shock.

[The Path of Innovation in Yi Jing]

【Chapter on Cleansing the Mind and Purifying the Heart】

Even with Ling Xiao's cultivation level, he examined the former for a long time, simply because its foundation completely exceeded the existing system, and he had to start comprehending it from scratch.

"By changing the methods and innovating, if one cultivates according to this method, one should eventually develop a supernatural power. This would alter one's foundation, potentially transcending the limitations of the Cave Heaven method. This is a transformation of the Dao lineage! Moreover, it's a Dao lineage that has never appeared in the Sea of ​​Light before. What Dao will it ultimately attain?"

Ling Xiao was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

In addition, the chapter on "Purifying the Mind and Cleansing the Heart" also greatly moved him, and the description of the Dao heart in it gave him a feeling of enlightenment.

'I see! ’

'The Dao Heart, so even the perfection of the Dao Heart isn't the limit. Above that lies the Fasting of the Heart, and even the Primordial Spirit. For a Dao Lord, the Primordial Spirit is the foundation of cultivation!'

This reminded him of the nameless Daoist master in the underworld who had advised him to seek the unorthodox path of Yin and Yang through fabricated history. A sudden realization dawned on him: 'I knew it! His open guidance stemmed from his certainty that I couldn't succeed. Was it because my cultivation of the Daoist heart was insufficient?'

Thinking of this, he quickly continued reading.

The next second, he almost crushed the jade slip. Unlike the complete [Dao of Change and Reform], the [Chapter on Cleansing the Mind and Purifying the Impurities] was completely unfinished!

How did it break?
Beast!
A storm raged in Ling Xiao's eyes, but it subsided after a moment. He raised his head and turned to look at Pan Huang, a thought flashing through his mind:
Whose pawn is this?

Which sect leader?

Just then, Panhuang suddenly spoke up: "My husband said that it's one thing for another. He won't force you. It's up to you to decide for yourself."

"If you are willing, fellow Daoist, you may give me a strand of gold essence, and I will go back to report."

"."

The metal element is the lifeblood of all cultivators in the Cave Heaven Dharma, and it becomes more important the higher their cultivation level. At his level, it is even more crucial that he cannot afford to lose any part of it.

In the past, if anyone dared to say such things in front of him, even if he didn't turn on them on the spot, he would definitely be thinking about how to kill them. However, now, Ling Xiao's emotions were quite calm. He turned his gaze and fell on the [Yi Fa Ge Xin Dao] in the jade slip again.

"The importance of the Metal element is predicated on the cultivation of the Grotto-Heaven method." "If you don't cultivate the Grotto-Heaven method and turn to other lineages, then the Metal element naturally becomes meaningless; it's just that generally, this is impossible."

Take him as an example.

If he were to switch to cultivating ancient methods now, he would have to destroy his grotto-heaven. Not to mention whether he could even successfully cultivate the ancient methods, his cultivation level would inevitably plummet.

Who would be willing?

This is the drawback of switching cultivation lines: the cultivation level drops almost uncontrollably, making it difficult, if not impossible, to switch between cultivation lines.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao looked at the [Dao of Change and Innovation] again, his eyes filled with amazement: 'This method is completely different. It seems to be able to perfectly transform Dao lineages. It's practically a natural-born way to undermine existing lineages—no, no, it was deliberately designed this way; its initial design intention was to undermine existing lineages!'

Such sophisticated methods.

Examining the jade slip in his hand, Ling Xiao reviewed the "Five Great Numbers" that the nameless Daoist Master had explained to him earlier, and a vague understanding began to emerge in his mind:
'This is incredible!'

'This evolution of "change" has reached its extreme, even possessing a hint of "variability." Who is it? Which Dao Lord has such ability?'

Ling Xiao's expression shifted rapidly, his mood constantly changing.

Now he understood the unspoken meaning behind the jade slip.

This is a deal.

'The great master who created this method wants me to convert to his lineage. If I do, he will tell me the rest of the "Chapter on Cleansing the Mind and Purifying the Impurities."'

'Metal represents a pledge of allegiance.'

'After all, only by surrendering the Golden Nature and severing my ties with the Cave Heaven Method can I prove that I am completely separated from it. I cannot afford to be indecisive.'

'You want to buy me for a fixed price?'

With this thought in mind, Ling Xiao's thoughts grew heavier. He didn't dwell on the implied meaning in the jade slip, since he never minded selling himself. That's how the world is. As long as you want to climb higher, you have no choice but to sell yourself. The only difference is whether you can sell yourself for a good price.

Only by selling well can you go further.

If you sell poorly, forget about moving up the ladder; falling halfway down or being schemed against to death is all too common. You can only blame yourself for being incompetent.

So his question is:

Is this buyer reliable? Is his offer high enough?

The buyer is unreliable, just like the Taoist master who suggested that he go to the pseudo-history to prove the unorthodox "Yin-Yang" sect. He never intended to spend money to buy his own things in the first place.

It's all a scam.

Whether a bid is high or low depends on oneself. With one's current cultivation level, only a bid that can help one attain the Nascent Soul stage can be considered high!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Words are weak; his two questions cannot be answered by words alone, but they can be verified by doing one thing.

"Fellow Daoist, I apologize."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young Taoist in Panhuang's eyes suddenly disappeared, like a wisp of green smoke, which startled him, followed by a sharp pain.

"Pfft!"

The next second, a fair palm pierced through Pan Huang's chest, and endless mysteries gathered within it, then exploded in his palm!

In an instant, as if an invisible hand had wiped away the grime, Pan Huang's figure was lightly erased by Ling Xiao, half of his body turning into nothingness!
