Mortal: I possess a copy of the Jade Manual of the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

The three of them washed up in a pavilion. Three large wooden tubs stood on the ground, and Wang Xuan and the others lay comfortably inside.

"This feels so good, the water temperature is just right," Zhang Tie said happily, his expression one of pure enjoyment.

Wang Xuan and Han Li didn't speak, but judging from their expressions, they said the same thing as Zhang Tie.

"It was definitely the right choice to become Master Mo's disciple. If I had entered the Seven Mysteries Sect and become an outer disciple, I wouldn't be able to enjoy such a comfortable bath."

Wang Xuan, with a towel on his face, said upon hearing this, "Elder Mo said that we should practice that nameless mantra that can prolong life, but I wonder to what extent Elder Mo has mastered it."

Han Li became interested upon hearing this, as he had been somewhat puzzled from the beginning.

If the nameless formula mentioned by Master Mo can prolong life, why does Master Mo himself appear so sickly?

"Heh, you bunch of brats, talking about me behind my back." Before Han Li could say anything, Elder Mo appeared in the pavilion.

"These are clothes I brought for you. Try them on and see if they fit. As my disciples, your attire should be different from that of the Seven Mysteries Sect."

Wang Xuan then looked at Elder Mo and asked, "Master, what level have you reached in practicing that nameless incantation?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Juren's originally serene expression softened slightly. He said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. You haven't even learned a few characters yet, and you're already asking about this old man."

"Once you have mastered that nameless incantation, you will naturally be able to discern my level of cultivation."

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must first successfully complete the cultivation.

Mo Juren did not respond. After having the three of them dry off and put on their clothes, he called them into the house and began to instruct them.

Mo Juren is a physician, and there is also a medicinal garden in Shenshou Valley where many rare medicinal herbs can be found.

"This medicinal herb garden will need your care in the future. I'm getting old, and my energy can't compare to yours, cough cough..."

I will first teach you to read. When you have free time, you can take a look at the "Compendium of Herbs" that I compiled, which details the appearance and uses of various medicinal herbs.

From this moment on, the cultivation of Wang Xuan and the other two officially embarked on the right path.

Days passed by, and before they knew it, a full year had gone by since Wang Xuan and his two companions became disciples of Doctor Mo.

During this year, Wang Xuan and his friends were no longer the illiterate children from the remote mountain village they used to be.

Under Mo Juren's tutelage and with their own patient learning, they quickly mastered the Tiannan seal script.

Reading some books is not a problem at all.

Mo Juren then passed on the nameless formula to the three of them, and instructed them to practice it diligently, as it would greatly benefit their physical condition.

Beneath a waterfall in God's Hand Valley.

Wang Xuan sat cross-legged on a huge rock, his eyes closed, reciting incantations.

There were some old medicinal herbs piled up beside him, but most of them had turned yellow and withered.

The roaring water all around him did not disturb him; instead, it gave him a unique sense of tranquility.

After he began practicing this incomplete version of the "Eternal Spring Technique," the jade manual in his sea of ​​consciousness finally began to react.

Through his continuous experiments, he finally figured out the function of the Jade Sea of ​​Consciousness manual.

To be precise, that jade manual is like a reactor; adding materials can synthesize different things.

However, items that have already been fused cannot be fused again using the Jade Technique, which can be considered a restriction to prevent the cheat from becoming too powerful.

Otherwise, he could be invincible simply by merging everything in the starting village.

In addition, there is a small storage space inside.

The storage space was shrouded in a hazy Daoist aura, seemingly similar to the Palm Heaven Bottle.

At that time, Wang Xuan came up with an idea: he combined a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum with a fragment of the "Changchun Gong" manual.

This Ganoderma lucidum is a treasure that Dr. Mo cultivates in the core area of ​​his medicinal garden.

Although I used it myself, I think they will be more lenient with me considering my improved cultivation level.

After a while, a flash of light appeared in Wang Xuan's hand, and he obtained a book—"Green Wood Everlasting Spring Technique"!

Green Wood Everlasting Spring Technique: Absorbs the wood spirit of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself, increasing cultivation speed by 30%, and the purity of spiritual power increases by 10% for every three levels of cultivation! Can be cultivated up to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

After refining the last medicinal herb, Wang Xuan trembled, and a faint spiritual pressure spread out, causing ripples on the water's surface.

Qi Refining Level 3, achieved!

Wang Xuan felt an immense joy as he sensed the small ball of spiritual energy in his dantian.

Breaking through three realms in a year, even though it's only the early stage of Qi Refining, is still a pretty good speed.

After all, although the environment of Shenshou Valley is quiet and secluded, the concentration of spiritual energy around it is not high, so it is already very rare to have this cultivation speed.

Looking at the medicinal herbs around him that had lost their vitality, Wang Xuan showed no sign of heartache.

Since he obtained the new version of Changchun Gong, he has been secretly picking one or two inconspicuous herbs from Doctor Mo's herb garden every day.

In his attempt to break through this bottleneck, he has exhausted all his savings and is now penniless again.

"Doctor Mo is out, so we can go pick two more medicinal herbs today."

It's a pity I can't get Han Li's little green bottle; otherwise, by combining it with the Heaven-Reaching Creation Liquid and my cultivation technique, its effects would be absolutely heaven-defying!

After consolidating his cultivation level, it was getting late, and the crimson sunset was half-hidden in the sky, turning the entire world orange-yellow.

A voice came from afar: "Senior Brother Wang, dinner's ready!"

A sturdy young man jogged over; it was Zhang Tie!

A year has passed, and Zhang Tie looks much stronger; his physique does indeed resemble that of a promising martial arts student.

Unfortunately, Zhang Tie didn't have a wood elemental root, so he couldn't cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been turned into a human puppet by Doctor Mo, but would have been used as a body-possessing target like Han Li.

"Senior Brother Wang, Han Li has already prepared the meal and is just waiting for us to come and eat."

Wang Xuan watched Zhang Tie approach from afar, silently gathered up the scattered medicinal herbs around him, and said with a smile, "I know, I'll be right there. Thank you for making the trip."

Zhang Tie waved his hand: "What's so hard about this? It's you, senior brother, who have been working hard and cultivating diligently ever since you entered the valley and became a disciple of Master Mo."

This is something Han Li and I can't learn. I'll have to ask Senior Brother Wang for guidance in the future, hehe.

Wang Xuan chuckled, said nothing more, and returned to the thatched hut with Zhang Tie.

Although he is currently a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, he has not learned any spells and has spiritual power that he cannot use, making his combat strength weak.

During this time, the three of them spent time together and became good friends with each other.

Although he desperately wanted to help Zhang Tie escape his suffering, he lacked the strength and was powerless to do so.

He sighed silently to himself and then vented his emotions on the food.

"Hmm, Junior Brother Han's cooking skills are getting better and better. I think he should be in charge of the meals from now on!"

Han Li chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this, deflecting the question with, "Not at all, I just noticed that Senior Brother's aura was unstable. Could it be that you've made another breakthrough?"

Changing the subject, Han Li looked at Wang Xuan with surprise in his eyes.

Everyone entered the valley on the same day, but a year later he had only mastered the first level of the incantation, while Zhang Tie hadn't even entered the first level.

But who would have thought that this Senior Brother Wang actually broke through several levels!

As a cultivator, even without practicing spells like the Heavenly Eye Technique, Han Li could still roughly determine Wang Xuan's cultivation level.

Wang Xuan made no attempt to hide this, knowing that the truth would come out sooner or later anyway: "Don't tell anyone about this, not even Master Mo."

Before Han Li could speak, Zhang Tie asked疑惑地问道, "Why? Wouldn't telling the old man this happy news make Master even happier?"

Wang Xuan shook his head: "Zhang Tie, you... don't even know to keep some trump cards up your sleeve."

Just don't let this get out of the picture, you guys should be able to do that, right?

Han Li nodded and said, "I will keep this a secret and I will definitely not tell anyone."

Hearing that Han Li had agreed, Zhang Tie scratched his head and had no choice but to agree as well.

"Me too, Senior Brother Wang, don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone about this!"

"That's good. From now on, the three of us brothers must support each other well, hahaha!"

Setting aside serious matters, the atmosphere among the three became cheerful again, filled with laughter and conversation.
