He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Xu Yi spoke first, not understanding why Sister Zhang Erniu would be so impolite from the start.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this? I saved your brother, and this is how you repay me?"

Xu Yi's tone was also very cold. He had no ill intentions, but upon careful observation, Zhang Erniu's sister seemed to be very pale. It seemed that she was indeed bedridden and probably had suffered some serious injury, so she was currently unable to use her magic power.

"Fellow Daoist, don't force yourself. It will only worsen your injuries. I mean no harm; I'm just passing by. Besides, I don't have any cultivation right now."

As Xu Yi spoke, he spread his hands, allowing Sister Zhang Erniu to probe him with her divine sense. This behavior showed extreme trust in the other person. Only someone who trusts someone a lot would let down their guard and allow the other person to probe them with their divine sense.

However, Xu Yi is currently unable to defend against Zhang Erniu's sister's probing, because he truly has no cultivation.

It took only a couple of breaths for Zhang Erniu's sister to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Her voice was ethereal, with a hint of weariness: "It's a misunderstanding, fellow Daoist. I thought you came with a purpose, yet you were able to see through my illusion."

Zhang Qiuyu's pale face betrayed her condition, but she still forced herself to stand up, bowed, and expressed her apology.

"Fellow Daoist, I was presumptuous. I have no treasures to repay you with. Just ask, and whatever I have, please feel free to ask."

Zhang Qiuyu knew that the man in front of him had saved his younger brother and was his savior. But why did he not have any cultivation? Yet he could see through illusions. This man must be a fellow practitioner, probably sent out by his elders for training.

Xu Yi shook his head. What he lacked at the moment was information and a secret manual that could help him cultivate magical power.

"What is your surname, fellow Daoist?" Xu Yi asked. It was a bit strange that he always addressed him as "fellow Daoist," and Xu Yi wasn't used to it.

"No need for formalities, my surname is Zhang, you can call me Qiuyu."

"My name is Xu Yi."

With this introduction, the two were now acquainted. Fortunately, Xu Yi had something to ask of him, so the situation wasn't too awkward.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have no intention of inquiring about any information about you two siblings. I do have something to ask, but it concerns the seekers of the Dao."

"Also, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I need a secret manual that allows one to cultivate magical power. Can you provide it?"

"Consider this my reward for saving your brother." Xu Yi currently desperately needs a cultivation manual, which would allow him to formally embark on the path of cultivation and gain some self-protection. However, a single spell is not enough to put his mind at ease, especially since casting these spells requires lifespan.

This made Xu Yi even less willing to use these spells. He should just focus on cultivating his magical power as soon as possible. Once he had magical power, he would have a better medium to use these spells.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiuyu was taken aback. In her opinion, Xu Yi must be a disciple of a family or sect who had come out to train, which was why his cultivation was sealed. But after his cultivation was sealed, could he easily break the seal? That was obviously unlikely.

He has many secret manuals for cultivating magical power. She herself came from a major sect, but some changes occurred within the sect, which led to the current situation.

Xu Yi clearly didn't recognize him, yet he saw through the illusion. Could it be that he also possessed some special physique, a pure heart?

A thought inexplicably popped into Zhang Qiuyu's mind: her younger brother also had a pure heart. All the disguises of demons and monsters were no match for him. All illusions and deceptions would be seen through by a pure heart.

Similarly, not to mention a little trickery.

"Does your family possess any secret manuals?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiuyu felt somewhat offended. He shouldn't have asked such a question; he had inquired too much.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am just a rogue cultivator. I had some accidents a while ago and lost my cultivation. I can no longer cultivate my original manual, so I can only start from scratch now."

As Xu Yi spoke, he smiled apologetically. It was hard for anyone to believe his explanation, but his current situation was indeed as he said. Due to some accidents, he had lost a lot of his cultivation, and that was a fact.

Zhang Qiuyu wasn't some newbie in the underworld, so she naturally didn't believe this kind of story. But since he had already spoken, she shouldn't refuse. Whatever the reason, he had saved Erniu's life after all.

"I see, Fellow Daoist Xu. Then I have all kinds of Qi gathering techniques here. See which one you need."

Zhang Qiuyu possesses a legacy and the Qi-gathering manuals he has acquired are all top-quality. Since it was a life-saving grace, he must repay it with boundless gratitude.

She was very generous, taking out five secret manuals at once. However, these manuals were ultimately products of the sect. If Xu Yi wanted to learn them, he had to make a heavenly oath not to pass them on to outsiders.

Xu Yi carefully selected from the five manuals, and finally chose one that caught his eye. This manual allowed him to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use it for his own purposes, collecting the purple energy of heaven and earth every morning for cultivation.

This mental cultivation method is called Divine Illumination and Glowing Clouds Technique. It includes methods for circulating qi, the Glowing Clouds Escape Technique, and two other spells, which will not be discussed here.

After obtaining this cultivation manual, Xu Yi finally felt relieved and could finally be considered qualified to embark on cultivation.

However, the cultivation method here is quite strange. Why isn't it divided into the Five Elements? Doesn't it require cultivating supernatural powers?

This puzzled Xu Yi. It seemed that the cultivation system had also undergone a great change, which was somewhat similar to what the Azure Netherworld Ancestor had said. It seemed that there was indeed a great change in the world, and it was inextricably linked to him.

So what exactly was this great change? Xu Yi really wanted to find out, because it concerned his origins and how he left this world.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zhang." Xu Yi bowed and greeted Zhang Qiuyu. This cultivation manual was very important to him, and he was very grateful to Zhang Qiuyu.

"Fellow Daoist, I still have some questions I'd like to ask. Would it be convenient for you to answer them?" Xu Yi asked softly. This Zhang Qiuyu was quite reasonable; he didn't look down on him just because he lacked cultivation, which surprised Xu Yi. This person was very strange.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiuyu became somewhat wary. She worried that Xu Yi was inquiring about her and her brother's affairs, but after thinking about it again, she realized that it was unlikely. Xu Yi didn't even recognize who she, Zhang Qiuyu, was, let alone inquire about anything.

Zhang Qiuyu chuckled self-deprecatingly. She thought that Yaochi was already quite famous, and that her reputation as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Zhang Qiuyu, should have spread throughout the Three Realms by now. But this person acted as if he had never heard of her. It seemed that she had been presumptuous.

"Fellow Daoist, as long as it's not about my brother and me, feel free to ask me anything, I'll answer to the best of my knowledge."
