My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 785 News of Heretical Methods

The spiritual tea from Wanbaoge, costing twenty or thirty top-grade spirit stones per ounce, has such effects.
So, a Pure Yuan Ming Dao Pill that costs 5,000 high-grade spirit stones shouldn't be too bad, right?

As a large trading company that has been based in this area for hundreds or even thousands of years,

They should have a considerable amount of credibility.

Hou Ping was naturally unaware of Shen Changchuan's inner thoughts.

At this moment, he was immersed in the lingering aroma of tea.
Carefully appreciate every subtle change in the aroma of tea.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and exclaimed in admiration.

"Not bad!"

Hou Ping sighed with emotion.

"With such an effect, if one could drink a cup morning, noon, and night, one's spiritual awareness would increase by at least 10% after a year!"

"Unfortunately, this thing is far too expensive. It's practically equivalent to exchanging an enormous amount of spirit stones for an increase in spiritual consciousness!"

"And compared to those pills that increase spiritual awareness or methods that train spiritual awareness, it's really not worth it."

"It's definitely not worth it!"

Shen Changchuan, sitting opposite, also nodded.
I fully agree with this.

If one drinks a cup every morning, noon, and night, the annual expenses would probably exceed the 30,000 high-grade spirit stones that Shen Changchuan had at his peak!
In comparison, 30,000 high-grade spirit stones can buy some pills or secret techniques that can significantly enhance one's spiritual power!

The latter's enhancement effect is definitely more than just a 10% increase in spiritual awareness.

However, Shen Changchuan also spoke up about this tea:

"However, even so, this spiritual tea also has the advantage of other pills with the same effect. That is, drinking a cup occasionally can nourish the mind and temperament, and there is no need to worry about any pill poisoning or other side effects."

"And when the mind is close to nature, the spirit is clear and pure, and it may be easier to perceive something."

"That's true."

Hou Ping nodded, glancing at Shen Changchuan with some surprise as he spoke.

"It seems that Junior Brother is quite knowledgeable!"

"Haha, senior brother, you flatter me. My knowledge is nothing more than what I learned while chatting with the shop assistant. I'm just showing it off."

"You kid."

The two chatted idly under the pavilion, sipping tea and exchanging their experiences.

There are stories about secrets that happened in the various peaks and veins of the Immortal Sect, stories about the cultivation world outside the Immortal Sect, and stories about insights and knowledge about cultivation.

Shen Changchuan was mostly listening, while Hou Ping was the one giving the talk.

After a conversation,
Shen Changchuan wouldn't say he gained a lot, but he certainly broadened his horizons considerably.

"I'm so glad I got to enjoy the famous Purple Spirit Dao Tea from Wanbao Pavilion this time, thanks to you, Junior Brother. I just wonder if there's anything you need, Junior Brother? I'll do my best to help you if it's within my power!"

After finishing a pot of tea,
Half a day has already passed.

After setting down his teacup, Hou Ping spoke to Shen Changchuan.

In interpersonal interactions, it's not true that one wouldn't visit a temple without a reason.

When Shen Changchuan visits with precious gifts, it's most likely because he has something to ask for.

Seeing that Shen Changchuan hadn't said anything, Hou Ping stopped being coy and asked directly.

“When I contacted you earlier, my senior brother, to say that I wanted to visit you, I did have some questions that I would like to ask you.”

"However, I've figured out some things before, and they're no longer needed."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changchuan paused slightly, but quickly recovered, shaking his head with a wry smile. "Oh, what is it?"

Hou Ping was somewhat curious.

"It's nothing."

"I originally came to visit you, Senior Brother, to thank you for your help these past few days. I also wanted to inquire about the specifics of the heretical teachings. If it's a pity, I was hoping to find a way to obtain these third-tier heretical teachings."

"However, later, my junior brother figured out some things and realized that he no longer needed these things."

Shen Changchuan didn't hide anything and explained the general situation.

That moment of enlightenment within the Immortal Sect's Scripture Pavilion
This has already given him a clear goal for the future.

That means in the time to come, try to collect as many second-tier and top-tier second-tier spells related to the true meaning of time as possible from the Immortal Sect's Scripture Pavilion into the progress bar panel, and then cultivate them one by one to perfection in the future.

Before mastering enough second-tier and top-tier second-tier spells to perfection, and before accumulating enough foundation to help one push the True Meaning of Time to one-tenth,

Don't get distracted by coveting any third-tier spells or unorthodox methods.

At this moment, Shen Changchuan had completely given up on the idea of ​​using that thankless third-tier spell.

As the saying goes, things have priorities and urgency.
Third-tier spells and unorthodox methods are only useful if they offer significant personal benefit.
Otherwise, it is best to stick to the chosen path.

"I see."

Hou Ping seemed to realize something.

However, he was unaware of Shen Changchuan's special ability, nor did he know that for Shen Changchuan, giving up third-tier spells or third-tier unorthodox methods was actually the best choice.

Therefore, recalling what he had learned during this period, he thought for a moment and then said to Shen Changchuan:

"Actually, I think that since you have such a high talent for magic, you might as well give it another try."

"Oh, what do you mean by that, senior brother?"

Although Shen Changchuan had no intention of changing his mind, he still wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

“I have heard that my junior brother has been practicing a body-refining method called the Yi Wood Undying Scripture. And I remember that I once fought an opponent who seemed to have used a matching external method.”

"So, I made a special trip to investigate this matter these days, and actually found some information."

“Junior brother, the Yi Wood Undying Scripture you cultivate is not actually the inheritance of my Jade Purity Immortal Sect, but one of the core direct descendants of the Xiangshan Sect, which rebelled and was destroyed three hundred years ago.”

"When the Xiangshan Sect was destroyed, this inheritance fell into the hands of my Yuqing Immortal Sect. Its complete chapters were eventually distributed to another branch of my sect."

"Within this complete Yi Wood Undying Scripture lies a technique called Yi Wood Annihilation Divine Light. Once unleashed, it can deprive an enemy of their lifespan by consuming the life force of the user."

"Speaking of which, when I fought with my junior brother before, I discovered that the nascent form of his true meaning also seemed to be related to time and lifespan. If my junior brother can cultivate the Yi Wood Annihilation Divine Light, he might be able to draw inferences from it and greatly benefit his understanding of the true meaning!"

Hou Ping spoke eloquently.

Shen Changchuan did not tell anyone that he had successfully entered the realm of true meaning comprehension.
Therefore, Hou Ping knew nothing about this.

At this time, Hou Ping,
I thought Shen Changchuan was stuck in a bottleneck in understanding the true meaning of things.

Earlier, when the topic of unorthodox teachings was discussed, Hou Ping had harbored a lingering thought in his mind.
During this period, I also specifically asked some friends about this.

If it can truly help Shen Changchuan and enable him to grasp the essence of that true meaning,

That would be best.

Hou Ping's efforts were not motivated by any personal gain.

It's simply about mentoring younger generations.

The heartfelt satisfaction derived from mentoring younger generations and enabling them to achieve success is enough to make one feel intoxicated.
