All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

"Besides, I've said before that I can help you solve the problem of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief. This is a fair trade."

Wang Gan said calmly.
"As you wish!"

Baron said respectfully,
He was initially skeptical of Xia He's claims, but after meeting Wang Gan in person, he realized that he was a true immortal!
Then Baron recounted the secrets of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief.

Feng Shayan stood to the side, gritting her teeth, her face filled with conflict.
I never expected following Wang Gan to be so exciting, and the rewards came so easily. I was able to easily overhear the secret of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief!

However, based on the effects of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, whether it's honey or poison, Feng Shayan leans towards the latter.

"'Six Treasurys' refers to the six viscera, which are the six organs in the human body that absorb energy. Based on this, a perfect digestive system is created that can instantly break down ingested substances and transform absorbed nutrients into Qi through circulation."

Wang Gan's expression was knowing.

"'The Six Treasures Immortal Thief' is less of a cultivation technique and more of a physical transformation surgery."

"However, this kind of physical modification is not aimed at improving one's life cultivation or essence, energy and spirit, but rather a kind of acquired and opportunistic modification method."

"Similar to the method of binding spirits and commanding generals, it is also about extracting one or two fragments from the incomparably profound and unparalleled principles of immortality and using them as tricks for 'techniques', which is why such a great flaw in longevity is left behind."

Wang Gan couldn't help but sigh again, lamenting that these uncultured people in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley were only doing things that were short-sighted and ultimately detrimental.

In Wang Gan's view, the fatal flaw of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief was not its cannibalistic desires.

After undergoing the physical transformation by the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, not only will the aging of your physical body slow down, but the progress of your life cultivation will also stagnate. Your 'essence, energy, and spirit' will be completely unable to increase through cultivation!

"It's not surprising, otherwise, given the rule in the Under One Person world that older people get stronger, the accumulation of Qi would naturally increase with age."

"Ruan Feng, the founder of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, lived longer than the Old Celestial Master, but in the original work, his combat strength seemed to be inferior to even the Ten Elders. The same is true for Baron."

Wang Gan sighed.

"It's like transforming yourself into a 'vampire' or 'zombie' creature later in life. Although you are immortal, you have a certain fatal flaw."

"The desire to eat people is only one aspect; the stagnation of one's spiritual cultivation is the most terrifying thing."

At this thought, Wang Gan couldn't help but look at Baron with a hint of pity.

"A banished immortal?! Is it a problem I can't solve?"

Barron started to panic.

Wang Gan could only tell the truth about the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief". The "physical transformation" of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief was obviously irreversible, at least for Wang Gan's current level.

Barron breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Indeed, as the immortal said, I am now no different from a vampire monster, immortal and thinking about eating people all day long."

"As for whether I can cultivate, I no longer care. My only hope now is to become a real human being!"

"Instead of being a monster that struggles daily with a cannibalistic urge!"

Wang Gan nodded.

"That's not difficult; I've just touched on the essence of it for you."

"As the saying goes, it's easier to get rid of bandits in the mountains than to get rid of bandits in one's heart."

"The price of cultivating the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief is that it seems to be a desire to eat people, but it is actually closely related to life cultivation. It is caused by the imbalance of the three elements of 'essence, qi and spirit'."

“Your ‘essence’ is inexhaustible and can be easily filled by the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, but the essence, qi, and spirit are closely linked, while your ‘spiritual essence’ is completely empty and cannot fill the extremely strong devouring desire of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief!”

“You can only draw on the essence of heaven and earth, or the essence of plants and animals, when you use the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief. As for the essence of the spirit, you cannot obtain it through absorption, nor can you improve it through ordinary cultivation of the spirit like ordinary cultivators do.”

Wang Gan's few words encapsulated the profound principles of cultivation in the universe.

"I see." Baron suddenly understood, his eyes brightening slightly.
"The key issue is that my soul and my body have raised my threshold for desire, but my soul cannot match it."

"Unless... I also devour souls!"

Wang Gan nodded happily.

"That's right. Among all things in the world, only 'humans' are the most intelligent of all beings and the only creatures that possess 'divine essence.' Only by absorbing 'divine essence' energy can you alleviate your desire to devour souls."

"However, this approach is undoubtedly like drinking poison to quench thirst."

"If you absorb too much of the divine energy of others, you will also fall into a state of madness, almost like a split personality."

Wang Gan, however, had already made up his mind.
After cultivating, the Six Treasures Immortal Thief's life cultivation stagnated, but his divine essence, as the god of the human body and the most mysterious and powerful part of mankind, could transcend the human body to a certain extent.

Just like the practice of summoning spirits and commanding generals, it is also possible for a soul to exist independently as a spirit or ghost.

Wang Gan had spent many years in the Tang Dynasty refining his Qi and transforming his spirit, and had also absorbed the essence of binding spirits and commanding generals, so he naturally had his own insights into the primordial spirit.

"Therefore, simply stabilizing your 'primordial spirit' or improving your 'primordial spirit' cultivation level can help you suppress your cannibalistic desires."

Wang Gan spoke calmly.
"But...I've also sought help from Taoist meditation, Buddhist emptiness and clarity, and even Indian yoga meditation techniques before,"

"But without exception, they were not very effective!"

Barron sighed, his tone somewhat helpless.

"That's because the law cannot be easily passed on!"

"True methods of refining the spirit are extremely rare, and in this world they are among the most profound and subtle methods. How could you possibly come into contact with them so easily!"

"You also said that those who do not eat will not die and will become gods. Therefore, gods are the concept of 'spirit and soul' or 'spiritual essence'. Only when the 'spirit' of the human body is strong can one truly achieve immortality without eating!"

Wang Gan chuckled.
Not to mention that the world of Under One Person is only at the intermediate level of martial arts. Like the Tang Dynasty, only the most elite masters are involved in the Refining Spirit realm!
"I happen to have a technique here called the 'Great Sun Visualization Method,' which involves visualizing the true image of the Great Sun bathing in fire. When combined with the Qi Circulation Technique and profound incantations, it can help one transcend the physical body and achieve the true effect of 'refining the spirit'!"

This Great Sun Contemplation Method was created by Wang Gan based on the "Refining and Nourishing the Spirit" method from the Great Tang Dynasty's Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. He regarded his own spirit as a kind of fluctuation and combined it with the soul knowledge of the Under One Person's Spirit Binding and Commanding.

It wasn't exactly ingenious or profound, but it was more than enough for this foreigner, Barron.

Wang Gan stepped forward, pointed his finger, and sent a ray of inspiration into Baron's mind!
"This"

Baron felt a jolt in his mind, and a radiant sun suddenly rose into the sky, dispelling all the gloom!
In an instant, the desire that had been like a bone-deep affliction gradually subsided under the guidance of this great sun, and Baron felt an unprecedented sense of ease!
"that is.."

After Barron relaxed, his expression became somewhat strange, and his tone became hesitant.

"Immortal, you enlightened my 'Great Sun Statue,' and why does it seem as if your face is reflected within the sun?"

Baron looked closely at the Great Sun in his mind and was shocked to see the outline of Wang Gan's face!
Wang Gan snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Even the Northern Dynasty can have an artificial sun. I am also a reincarnation of the sun god. Isn't that reasonable?"

Baron's expression changed, and he couldn't help but be moved.

He didn't know if what he said made sense, but he could see Wang Gan's iron fist!
This iron fist is much harder than the northern sun!
In fact, this is a method of enlightenment similar to the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique, which guides a wisp of Wang Gan's spiritual will to be planted in Balun's mind, like a 'demon seed', which is why Balun can see Wang Gan's face.

Such actions would naturally allow Balun's primordial spirit realm to rise rapidly, quickly resolving the hidden dangers posed by the Six Treasuries Immortal Thieves.

Of course, just like the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, with such high efficiency, it's normal to have some side effects.

"Zhongcheng!"

Barron suddenly raised his hands, his expression serious, his eyes filled with tears.

Wang Gan nodded in satisfaction.

See, here comes the side effect. (End of Chapter)
