To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Qi Zongyuan poured his magical power into the jade disc, and golden light shone forth, forming a line of text.

[Cultivation Techniques], [Spells], [Talismanic Arts], [Weaponry Arts], [Array Arts], [Trials]

Qi Zongyuan was immediately taken aback. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he pointed his finger at the technique.

The next instant, the characters on the jade disc suddenly changed, revealing the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, as well as an option of "unlimited".

Having gained experience, Qi Zongyuan immediately realized that this was to allow him to choose the attribute of his cultivation technique.

After a slight hesitation, Qi Zongyuan pointed his finger at the wooden cord.

The "Qingyang Jade Scroll" he practiced during his Qi cultivation belonged to the wood element.

The golden light changed again, listing the names of various cultivation manuals and arranging them in order of rank.

Qi Zongyuan casually swiped, and the text began to scroll rapidly. After finding the "Qingyang Jade Book" and clicking on it again, golden light burst forth on the jade disc, and everything before his eyes turned snow-white.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in a virtual space.

The surrounding area was empty and no more than ten feet in circumference, surrounded by pure white clouds. In the center of the space was a cloud platform, on which sat a figure.

That face was indeed Gu Fan's.

Qi Zongyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he watched with great interest.

With his cultivation level, he naturally realized that what he saw before him was just an illusion array, and the array was not even of the third rank. He could break free from the illusion with just a thought.

But he did not choose to break free.

From his previous observations, he had vaguely guessed the purpose of this treasure, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Sure enough, Gu Fan, who was sitting on the cloud platform, slowly spoke, and what he was talking about was the "Qingyang Jade Book".

Qi Zongyuan listened quietly, nodding occasionally, his eyes full of admiration.

Gu Fan's spiritual root is of the fire element, a fact known to all the elders of the Lingxiao Sect.

But at this moment, Gu Fan's illusory figure spoke eloquently about the "Qingyang Jade Book," as if he had personally practiced it. Although his understanding was not as good as Qi Zongyuan's, the "Qingyang Jade Book" was just a basic cultivation method, which was more than enough for Qi Refining disciples.

Gu Fan's illusory figure spent two whole hours recounting the early stage of the "Qingyang Jade Book".

Qi Zongyuan listened for two hours.

Two hours later, Gu Fan's illusory figure faded, the surrounding clouds suddenly dispersed, Qi Zongyuan's vision cleared, and he reappeared in the Lingxiao Palace.

Qi Zongyuan immediately understood the value of the jade disc, and felt his mouth go dry.

I picked up the teacup casually, only to find that the tea was still warm.

"Hmm?" Qi Zongyuan immediately sensed something was wrong and turned to look outside the Lingxiao Palace, only to find that the sunlight was almost the same as before he entered the illusion.

Looking back at the opposite side, Gu Fan sat calmly, sipping the spiritual tea in his cup, as if he had never moved.

"This illusion can even confuse the perception of time!" Qi Zongyuan was even more shocked.

Gu Fan put down his teacup and asked with a smile, "What does the Sect Leader think of this treasure?"

"The value of this treasure...is beyond words!"

Qi Zongyuan's words were full of admiration as he asked curiously, "How did Elder Gu manage to forge this treasure?"

Gu Fan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence as he began to recount the story.

Speaking of which, Gu Fan spent twenty years refining this jade disc, making it the magic weapon that took him the most time to create.

Time was not spent on refining the jade disc itself, but on infusing it with the true meaning of the Dao.

Every cultivation manual that Qi Zongyuan saw was personally transcribed by Gu Fan.

Within the entire Lingxiao Sect, only Gu Fan could accomplish this task; even Guiyun Sword Lord could not.

After all, Guiyun Sword Master is a sword cultivator and would not try to comprehend low-level techniques.

Only Gu Fan, relying on his Myriad Manifestations Eye, could directly point to the source and deduce the key to cultivation techniques in reverse.

In addition, he had already read through all the cultivation manuals in Chenxing Pavilion, and had not overlooked any of the other attributes. After forming his core, he received guidance from Xuanji Zhenren and re-comprehended the cultivation techniques and secret arts he had practiced in the past. All of these foundations were finally put to use at this moment.

Twenty years ago, Gu Fan had already foreseen that the Lingxiao Sect would lack talent in the inheritance of array formations.

On a sudden inspiration, he recalled what he had seen and heard in his previous life, and he tried to forge this jade disc magic weapon.

Strictly speaking, the Jade Bi Magic Treasure is just a large jade slip, but its space is more than 100,000 times larger than that of an ordinary jade slip, and it is made of white jade spirit marrow.

White jade essence is a rare spiritual material used to refine magical artifacts, and under normal circumstances, no one would be so wasteful as to use it to make jade slips.

Gu Fan combined the Yuan Chen Formation's effect of confusing time perception, carved an illusionary restriction on it, and then superimposed his recorded insights into the cultivation technique. The combination of the two created a phantom image of preaching.

The difficulty in crafting this treasure lies in ingenuity and interaction with cultivators.

Ordinary jade slips are opened up by probing with one's divine sense, but jade discs require categorizing cultivation techniques and classic texts and filtering them layer by layer before selecting them. Even when playing them, one cannot skip or speed them up; one must listen to them from the beginning each time.

Of course, Gu Fan couldn't tell Qi Zongyuan about the source of his inspiration, only saying that he thought of it when a disciple asked him for advice at Chenxing Pavilion.

Qi Zongyuan laughed heartily: "I only knew that Elder Gu had extraordinary comprehension before, but today I realize that he has been hiding his true abilities."

Recalling the martial arts manuals displayed on the jade disc, Qi Zongyuan was secretly alarmed.

"How high must one's comprehension be to simultaneously cultivate oneself, master immortality techniques, and thoroughly understand all the scriptures?"

As the leader of a sect, Qi Zongyuan also considered himself a peerless genius.

But at this moment, he felt his understanding was being challenged, and even doubted his own dullness. At the same time, he was even more grateful that such a prodigy was an elder of his own sect.

Gu Fan shook his head and smiled, "Sect Leader, you flatter me. This treasure is not yet perfect. My understanding of it is only superficial and cannot compare to that of a specialist cultivator."

"In addition, we are still lacking in skills such as alchemy and spirit beasts. It would be great if an elder in the sect were willing to fill in the gaps."

"Elder Gu, there's no need to be so modest." Qi Zongyuan waved his hand. "It's not difficult to complete the inheritance in the magic treasure. I will persuade the elders."

"What is the name of this treasure?"

Gu Fan smiled and said, "The Inquiry Stele."

"A fine name!" Qi Zongyuan praised, but his smile suddenly vanished, and he said solemnly, "This treasure will have a great impact on the sect. Elder Gu has made outstanding contributions. You may choose three spiritual materials from the sect's treasury later."

"Furthermore... we'll probably need to add some more methods to the Dao Asking Stele."

"Thank you, Master." Gu Fan nodded in thanks. He understood what Qi Zongyuan meant by adding some restrictions and immediately replied, "This treasure is not yet fully refined. We need to discuss the restrictions with the Master before we can add them."

Gu Fan also agreed with adding restrictions.

The saying goes that books cannot be read unless borrowed, and the Daowen Stele must never be allowed to be used by sect disciples for free.

Firstly, it would completely overturn the relationship between cultivation families and disciples from humble backgrounds; secondly, the sect's cultivation techniques are collected by cultivators throughout the ages, and easily bestowing them would seem disrespectful.

Therefore, after Qi Zongyuan reminded him, Gu Fan revealed the restrictions he was going to impose.

First, one must possess the Lingxiao Sect's identity jade ring, which outsiders absolutely cannot use.

Secondly, one must expend good deeds to listen to a sermon, and the cost is calculated per session.

Although the merit points consumed are not cheap, they are a stroke of good fortune for a disciple from a poor family.

Where can an ordinary outer disciple find a Golden Core elder to personally preach the Dao?

After explaining the limitations and receiving Qi Zongyuan's approval, Gu Fan continued, "There is one more matter that requires the Sect Leader's permission."

"What is it? Elder Gu, please speak freely."

Gu Fan poured a wisp of magic power into the jade disc. After the golden characters appeared, he scrolled to the last position and clicked to enter the [Trial].

The next moment, a series of serial numbers appeared, followed by the good deeds and numbers.

"These are the test questions set by the lower level, which are like a bounty list. If any disciple can answer these questions within the time limit, they can receive merit points to encourage them to study and comprehend the teachings."

This was also a choice Gu Fan made based on his own experiences.

In the first place, he chose to repair the damaged formation, wasn't it just to earn merit points?

Afterwards, Gu Fan and Qi Zongyuan talked for a long time in the Lingxiao Palace until night fell before they left.
