Starting with the consumables of the Demonic Sect, one can barely achieve immortality.

The Hall of Longevity has five floors, and Yan Cheng Cave is located there.

"reconciliation?"

Yan Cheng stared at the Holy Maiden kneeling respectfully before him, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"When you tried to take my life in the Corpse-Raising Institute, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

The saintess, without batting an eye, calmly replied:

"Times have changed, what's the point of dwelling on the past?"

"In the Immortal Sect, the distinction between friend and foe depends entirely on interests."

"Both of us aspire to build our foundations. If we continue to dwell on past grudges, we will only hinder our progress on the path to enlightenment, which would be a greater loss than gain."

Yan Cheng really wanted to slap her across the face.

What does it mean to be entangled in past grudges?

If she were being chased by Yan Cheng, would she act as if nothing had happened?

He began to miss his senior sister Huang Tong, who had died young. Huang Tong might have been more ruthless and evil than the Holy Maiden, but at least she wasn't as hypocritical.

"Fine, for the sake of your master's wife..."

Yan Cheng didn't want to say another word to this extremely annoying female cultivator, so he went straight to the point:

"Fellow Daoist cultivates the path of the sun; may I ask what kind of spiritual objects you use?"

"If you can give me a copy, then the past can be disregarded."

This instantly caused an extremely uncomfortable look to flash across the saintess's face.

Although she had been instructed by her master's wife to fulfill all of Yan Cheng's requests as much as possible, she had even prepared to cultivate with Yan Cheng without expecting anything in return.

In her view, since Yan Cheng cultivated the Yin aspect, his dual cultivation with her would ultimately damage the image of the Sun aspect.

However, the loss was still within her acceptable range.

However, the thought of giving away the spiritual item to Yan Cheng for free made her feel even more uncomfortable than cultivating with him, and she bit her lip and remained silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Yan Cheng sighed inwardly:

"Those who only care about petty gains and disregard the greater good... how can such a person amount to anything?"

"No wonder the Emperor always values ​​Huang Tong more than her. If this female cultivator hadn't been so lucky to obtain the Sun's inheritance, how could she have caught the eye of such a high-ranking cultivator!"

The Holy Maiden, of course, was unaware that Yan Cheng was inwardly criticizing her, her mind in turmoil, before finally saying:

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the [Pure Yang Primordial Qi]?"

"This substance is the vapor condensed after morning dew evaporates into water mist, and it is an indispensable spiritual object for cultivating the [Light-Gazing Prism]."

"This item is extremely rare, and it was the foundation upon which I attained enlightenment. Even if you, fellow Daoist, personally inquired about it..."

She seemed to carefully consider her next words, and after a long pause, she said:

"At most, I can only give you one copy."

Yan Cheng smiled slightly:

"No problem, one serving is enough."

This is a lie.

Just kidding, he's the kind of person who drinks moonlight like water. A portion of some primordial energy that's far less precious than the Great Sun's Golden Essence and doesn't even rank among the top spiritual objects of the sun is enough for him to forget the conflict between him and the Holy Maiden.

"Besides, the problem between me and this guy has nothing to do with past grudges."

Yan Cheng's eyes shone brightly:

She believes I cultivate the "Taiyin" (太阴) principle, and that my complete understanding of the concept of "Full Image" (全意象) is detrimental to her.

"I don't trust her, and she doesn't trust me; the conflict between us is irreconcilable."

"It's just a matter of sooner or later!"

The crux of the problem lies in the lack of mutual trust among members within the Immortal Sect.

And there's nothing that can be done about it. After all, if anyone wants to change this trend and takes the lead in trusting their fellow disciples, they'll almost certainly die without even knowing how.

Yan Cheng had no intention of becoming a saint who could change customs and traditions; he simply stared silently at the saintess.

Until the latter slowly took out a small white jade box, from which a clear light seemed to shimmer, and a gentle warmth dispelled the chill in the room.

It is precisely the [Pure Yang Primordial Qi].

Yan Cheng took the jade box and remembered that Mi Niang had mentioned that there was an immortal in the south who had attained the so-called "Qingyang" fruit position, which was adjacent to the "Taiyang" path.

Therefore, the [Looking Light Prism] practiced by the Holy Maiden does not seem to be the orthodox lineage of the [Sun Pure Jun Dao True Immortal Lord], but rather leans more towards the [Pure Yang] Dao.

In other words, there is a high probability that the [Looking Light Prism] technique will not be available in the Hall of Longevity.

Yan Cheng gazed at the saintess, his eyes filled with a complex mix of cold indifference and pity.

He put away the jade box and said calmly:

That's fine.

"I still need to cultivate, so I will not say any more to you, fellow Daoist."

The saintess left silently.

In the end, she still did not mention the matter of making a vow.

Perhaps it was because she was ultimately unwilling to accept it, or perhaps it was because Yan Cheng's attitude was already quite obvious.

Let's exchange spiritual items for temporary peace.

"Once I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage..."

The female cultivator who practiced the Way of the Sun's Clear Light departed with countless gloomy thoughts.

Once she was far away from the area illuminated by the Silver Mirror Cave, Yan Cheng closed his eyes and concentrated, exhaling a long breath of turbid air. A dazzling and exquisite purple flame appeared in his pupils.

The next moment, a clone that looked exactly like him and was radiating a moon-white, glassy light appeared behind him.

[Moonlight and Crystal Body]

This is a clone technique recorded in the "Shangyintian Corpse Path Chapter". It uses the essence of the sun and moon to condense a clone form, which is cultivated at the same time as the main body. The results of the cultivation will be fully returned to the main body.

The simultaneous cultivation of his main body and his clone undoubtedly doubled Yan Cheng's cultivation speed!

"Unfortunately, this method can only be practiced after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining and condensing divine consciousness in the upper dantian."

"Otherwise, I would have reached the peak of Qi Refining long ago. Why would I have had to resort to so many methods to get rid of Huang Tong!"

"This clone doesn't consume my internal spiritual energy, but rather the inexhaustible Moon Laurel Pure Yin Essence within the Hidden Immortal Mirror."

"With my current spiritual strength, I can manifest one more clone."

"Now that I've obtained that Saintess's [Pure Yang Primordial Qi], I'll use it to condense the [Sunlit Dew Body]."

"Although the clone I've created isn't as powerful as the Moonlit Body, it's more than enough for cultivation!"

Yan Cheng understood perfectly. As the speed at which the Immortal Mirror condensed moonlight increased, coupled with the enhancement of his physical constitution from the Ninefold Moonlight Tempering, it was only a matter of time before he reached the peak of Qi Refining.

The reason for expending spiritual resources to condense the two avatars of the sun and moon is mainly to fulfill the requirements of the foundation-building secret method recorded in the "Shangyintian Corpse Path Chapter".

Just as the Holy Maiden needed to cultivate the "Fleeting Light and Shadow Secret Technique" to condense the Immortal Foundation [Looking Light Prism].

If Yan Cheng aspires to establish a foundation for immortality, he must first cultivate the prerequisite secret method, "The Mysterious Method of the Sun and Moon Dividing Instruments," on the basis of perfecting the Three Elixir.

When this method is successfully mastered, it is time to go into seclusion and break through, thus becoming a cultivator with the foundation of immortality [Mirror Man]!

Foundation Building...?

Yan Cheng barely suppressed the countless daydreams in his mind and focused his attention on his current Qi cultivation practice:

"If I can cross this threshold, even the highest-ranking disciples in the Hall of Longevity will have to look at me with respect."

Only by solidifying the foundation of the Great Dao can one be considered a leading figure and truly participate in the power struggles among the various factions on the Northern Foothills!
