I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 164 Rewards from Within the Sect
Are you absolutely certain?

"This disciple is certain."

The master looked into Ying Chan's eyes, nodded slowly, and said, "Good."

"Today, I will impart to you the method of cultivation. I hope you will diligently practice it and achieve the highest level of Qi."

As soon as he finished speaking, the master suddenly pointed a finger.

Ying Chan saw a golden light fly over, and then a long text appeared in his mind.

"How vast is the primordial chaos, the ultimate manifestation of all phenomena, so this is how it is..."

A quick glance at the text revealed a sudden enlightenment.

However, he knew that now was not the time, so he quickly suppressed his eagerness and first bowed to his master, saying, "Thank you for transmitting the Dharma, Master."

The master accepted the greeting calmly and said, "Ponder it carefully. If you have any doubts or confusion, you can come to Wendaozhai to find me, or seek guidance from other masters."

"In addition, there are many insights from predecessors in the Cangming Cave Heaven, which you can also borrow and read."

"Yes."

Ying Chan responded to each instruction, and after his master finished giving his instructions, he waved his hand and said, "Go."

Ying Chan was about to get up, bow, and take his leave.

However, he suddenly remembered something and quickly cupped his hands and said, "This disciple has something he would like to ask Master."

"Oh?"

The master said, "Tell me."

Ying Chan took out the answer sheet from his sleeve and presented it to his master: "Please take a look, master."

The professor was quite interested. He opened the book and read a few pages, and his expression suddenly changed.

"A book that answers questions and provides explanations?"

Clearly, with his extensive experience, the master could guess the mystery of this object without needing to explain it.

He murmured, "That's interesting."

He then turned the pages of the book until he finished reading its contents, then frowned slightly and asked, "Was this final question about the fierce energy left by you?"

"Exactly."

Ying Chan said, "I left this question behind to test the wonder of this object. When I first saw this reply, I thought it was just nonsense and didn't take it to heart."

"Unexpectedly, the phrase 'Great is the Primordial Chaos and Divine Power' coincides with the description in the text."

"A coincidence?" The mentor put down the answer sheet and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid not."

Ying Chan asked in surprise and doubt, "Could this thing really be so mysterious, capable of knowing the methods of first-class evil spirits?"

"That's not entirely true."

The master said, "If you ask him for detailed instructions, I'm afraid you won't get a useful answer."

Ying Chan nodded in agreement.

It should be understood that, in any sect in the world, the highest level of magical techniques is a closely guarded secret.

If one could answer the question about the detailed method of answering this question, its value would be immeasurable.

But he still had doubts: "However, when I look at this book, the questions and answers about matters and cultivation are basically made up. How can I answer them accurately? How great is the Hunyuan Zhixiang Gangsha method?"

"This item is probably of extraordinary origin, and it may be due to fate that it ended up in your hands."

"but……"

The master remained silent for a moment before saying, "I suggest you do not use this item lightly."

"For every gain, there is a loss, especially with such a rare item—"

He tapped the Q&A booklet lightly: "When you ask it for something, it may have already received something in return from you."

"Perhaps there are some questions in this book that haven't been answered precisely because we can't 'repay' them." Ying Chan felt a slight chill in his heart: "This disciple understands."

"All right."

The master waved his hand: "Know that you understand, now go."

Upon hearing this, Ying Chan did not delay any longer. He rose, bowed, and left the quiet room.

……

After leaving Wendaozhai, Yingchan made another trip to Cangming Cave. Upon returning to Hanxu Daocheng, he immediately immersed himself in the meditation room.

Although he had only been out of seclusion for a few days, he had just acquired the Gang Sha technique and was studying it day and night without feeling the slightest bit tired.

In just a few days, Ying Chan had gained a good understanding of how to condense evil spirits and refine qi.

However, his master said that he still needed to refine his skills before he could cultivate the "Great Primordial Chaos Formation," and indeed, that was no exaggeration.

It is important to know that the process of refining the Qi is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could destroy one's very foundation.

Otherwise, cultivators would not need to condense their magical power until they reach a point where they can no longer progress before attempting to refine their spiritual energy.

Ying Chan's achievements are already quite remarkable, but what he wants to cultivate is the first-class Gang Sha, which is the most difficult to achieve among the seven first-class Gang Sha techniques passed down in the five gates of this sect: the 'Great Primordial Ultimate Gang Sha'.

The difficulty of this method lies in the fact that when one begins to learn it, one must take a strand of each of the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends and practice the method simultaneously.

The magnitude of the trials involved is unimaginable.

However, the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends are not easily obtained.

Without the Azure Sky-Supporting Formation or the assistance of naturally formed Earthly Fiends, Ying Chan could only painstakingly gather the Qi and Sha from the world.

It would take him even longer to acquire all thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends.

Therefore, Ying Chan now had plenty of time to hone his profound skills and refine his techniques...

He even started thinking about cultivating new spells.

For ordinary cultivators, once they reach the Yingchan realm, if they cannot refine their internal energy, they have almost reached the point of no further progress.

However, those who cultivate the "Myriad Laws and Profound Phenomena Treasure Register" can continue to strengthen their foundation and increase their magical power as long as their magical skills continue to improve.

Of course, simply practicing many rudimentary spells is useless; one must either cultivate one's magical nature or delve into profound and advanced techniques...

Therefore, in the following days, after studying how to condense evil spirits and refine qi, one should think about the matter of magic.

To this end, he also created a schedule, arranging the spells he wanted to practice and study in an orderly manner.

Unexpectedly, the plan was aborted before it could even be carried out.

On this day, the restrictions of Hanxu Daoist Temple were suddenly triggered. Ying Chan opened the gate and saw a Daoist dressed in purple robes bowing to him.

"Congratulations, junior brother, on your rise to the Southern Dipper."

The Taoist took out a jade slip and a small booklet, and smiled: "This is a reward from the sect. Please accept it, junior brother."

Ying Chan had not forgotten this matter, but he did not dwell on it too much. Upon hearing this, he returned the greeting and accepted the two items from the Taoist's hands.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest said nothing more, cupped his hands and offered his congratulations, then transformed into a rainbow and soared into the sky.

After seeing him off, Ying Chan closed the gate of the temple and returned to his study. He casually flipped through a small booklet and glanced at it a few times. His expression finally changed.

"This is……"

His gaze shifted to the jade slip: "Myriad Mantras of the Myriad Laws of Xuandu?"

This jade slip actually contains a method for cultivating a great Dao technique!
It should be noted that Ying Chan had been studying the Dharma on Mount Chiming for five years in order to cultivate the 'Innate Taiyao Chiming Xuanguang', but he had not even mastered all nine methods of Chiming.

However, simply because he was ranked among the Southern Dipper, our sect bestowed upon him a great Dao technique, which even included various key points and mysteries, all of which were recorded in this jade slip.

Although this great Dao technique is quite different from the 'Innate Taiyao Crimson Bright Mysterious Light', it is still of great importance.

Ying Chan suddenly realized the weight of the words "Southern Dipper".
