My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 21 The True Explanation of the Return to the Origin of All Transformations

"Let's go, Junior Sister."

Lin Qingfeng led her toward a place within the sect where the spiritual energy was most abundant.

That was an area built on the largest spiritual vein node of the sect.

Above that stands a cluster of cave dwellings.

As the two approached, everything before them became clearer and clearer.

Dozens of independent cave dwellings stood quietly, scattered in a well-organized manner. They seemed somewhat similar to the cave dwellings of her disciples outside her thatched hut, but they were not quite the same.

The spiritual energy here is even more concentrated, but she can sense that all of that spiritual energy is locked within the cave, and not a single trace can escape.

"Junior sister, look,"

Lin Qingfeng introduced,

"This is a cultivation cave prepared by our sect for disciples who are willing to spend spirit stones and make contributions to the sect. It is also called a 'blessed cave'."

They are located on the largest spiritual vein node of the sect and are inscribed with the 'Zhou Tian Gathering Spirit Array'.

One day of cultivation here is equivalent to ten days of cultivation outside, greatly accelerating the accumulation of spiritual energy and solidifying one's foundation. It is a sacred cultivation ground that all disciples dream of!

"Of course, it is also quite expensive."

However, even with your talent, Junior Sister, as long as you're willing to spend spirit stones and make good contributions to the sect, you can cultivate here.

Contributions, spirit stones... that's normal.

This introduction, which perfectly aligned with common knowledge of cultivation, left Su Ling'er momentarily dazed, and even sparked a hint of anticipation.

After all, in the past, even if you had contributions or spirit stones, you were not worthy of these things at Qingxu Temple.

Only direct disciples and sect leaders/elders can enjoy those places rich in spiritual energy.

These benefits are not even available to inner disciples, let alone outer disciples.

Contribution?
Return the spirit stones?
Even if I had the money, I wouldn't be able to spend it.

Here, regardless of the price, at least it gives you something to look forward to.

This can indeed be used as a carrot dangling in front of a donkey to make it pull the millstone forward.

But... is there really such a normal place in this den of demons?

She couldn't believe it.

Beneath this celestial aura, there must be some ulterior motive or trap lurking.

Perhaps the spiritual energy here is inherently problematic, corrupting people's minds?
Or perhaps, these cave dwellings themselves are a giant array for filtering "resources"?

Lost in thought, Lin Qingfeng had already led her into the hall where cave dwellings were allocated.

The plaque above the hall reads "Ling Shu Pavilion".

Inside the pavilion, Elder Qian Buyu still wore his usual expressionless face.

When Lin Qingfeng came in, he specifically used his divine sense to investigate. Fortunately, he seemed to be normal this time, and there were no bugs.

He sat upright before a jade table.

"Elder Qian."

Lin Qingfeng stepped forward and made some things on the jade table.

A moment later, Elder Qian handed him a jade slip.

Lin Qingfeng took the jade slip, weighed it in his hand for a moment, even did a little trick, before finally handing it to Su Ling'er.

"Junior sister, this is one of the superior mental cultivation techniques of my Guixi Sect, called the 'True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Myriad Transformations'."

Since you've just entered the sect, this is my gift to you as your senior brother.

Of course, it is also one of the fundamental laws of our sect.

This was the first purple-grade superior cultivation technique that Elder Zhaoqian obtained when he first unlocked the cave dwelling feature by spending real money.

More importantly, it can greatly reduce the pain that the physical body suffers during cultivation, which is perfect for combining with the Sword Refining Technique!
Although you will still feel pain when practicing the "Sword Refining Technique", your ability to endure it should be much stronger.

Players can turn off pain, but NPCs cannot, so it's best to combine it with this mental cultivation method.

Of course, this technique deserves a proper introduction.

Although it was a purple-grade item that I drew back then, it seems a bit lacking now, but I still have to make my junior sister feel like she got a huge advantage.

Moreover, this technique is indeed quite good.

Su Ling'er, however, was somewhat skeptical.

Fundamental law?
The fundamental principles of any sect are the basis for its establishment and are never easily revealed to others.

How could this senior brother have given it to me so easily?

Lin Qingfeng smiled and said, "Junior sister, there's no need to worry. This method is all-encompassing and doesn't have many barriers to entry."

Your physical constitution is somewhat lacking; ordinary techniques are only half as effective for you.

However, this "True Technique of Returning to the Origin of All Things" can strengthen your foundation, refine your flesh and blood, greatly enhance your affinity for spiritual energy, and even significantly reduce the physical pain you experience during cultivation.

Reduce suffering?!
Su Ling'er's mind immediately flashed back to the horrific forging scenes of those disciples in the Weapon Forging Pavilion! "Junior Sister, quickly relax your mind, Elder Qian will demonstrate the technique for you and help you enter the path!"

Su Ling'er was in a dilemma. After all, if she opened her mind and the other party did something to her soul, she would be completely finished.

But she also knew that she had no room to resist in this environment.

Especially under the watchful eye of her senior brother, she had no chance of refusing.

However, she was tasked by her sect leader with finding out the Guixi Sect's techniques.

If this cultivation technique in front of her could lead to the Nascent Soul stage, it would be far beyond her imagination!

After all, their sect leader was only a Core Formation Realm expert.

Moreover, the cultivation method that allows one to reach the Nascent Soul stage... was truly tempting to me.

She could only bow and step forward, saying, "Then, thank you for your trouble, Elder Qian."

Elder Qian slowly stood up and walked to her. His blank eyes stared at her, making Su Ling'er feel that he was not a living person.

How can a living person have such empty eyes?

But then, a cold hand pressed against her forehead.

I'm dying!

I'm doomed!

I'm being brainwashed!

My life is about to be taken away!
I really hope they can give me the Nascent Soul cultivation technique!
Su Ling'er screamed inwardly, but none of the terrifying scenes she had imagined happened.

With a "hum", a thought rushed into her sea of ​​consciousness, and the Ling Shu Pavilion in front of her disappeared, replaced by a vast starry sky.

Her own meridians outlined one human figure after another deep within her sea of ​​consciousness.

Spiritual energy surged continuously within it, following the energy flow path of the "True Technique of Returning to the Origin of All Things".

Every cycle of the body, every breath, was vividly displayed before her eyes.

This cultivation method is peaceful and balanced, yet it contains a powerful and inexhaustible energy that can nourish the physical body, strengthen the blood and qi, and quickly restore spiritual energy.

The scene shifted, and she saw a cultivator who looked seven or eight parts similar to Elder Qian sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop.

As the cultivation technique was activated, spiritual energy from all directions poured in, condensing behind him into a gigantic nascent soul dharma image.

His appearance was solemn and dignified, his divine power was vast and mighty, and every gesture he made had the power to shake mountains and shatter peaks!
That... is the scene of the Nascent Soul realm!
Under his gaze, I felt so insignificant, as if he could crush me with a single finger.

The entire performance was dignified and profound.

As the images in her mind faded, Su Ling'er's face turned pale, but her eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

She looked at the jade slip in her hand, her breathing becoming rapid.

it is true……

This cultivation method might truly be a supreme technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage!

She immediately began to study it with great enthusiasm.

Lin Qingfeng looked at her and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Very good, she's really into it. It seems she's finally rekindled her longing for our sect.

He didn't disturb them, but walked aside, his mind sinking into the player forum, continuing to study his "Cultivation Pretentious Quotes".

For a moment, he seemed to have lost his mind, and his eyes were as empty as Elder Qian's.

Meanwhile, the more Su Ling'er studied, the more turbulent the waves of emotion surged within her.

This cultivation technique is very profound, but the path it takes is completely different from all the cultivation techniques she has ever seen in her life.

Of course, it could also be because she has limited experience?

But the sect leader said that in the current cultivation world, all methods return to the same source, which all point to a legendary book that can help one ascend to immortality, and is even said to be the general outline of the immortal realm - the "Primordial Dao Canon".

Although this Daoist scripture may be found in the mortal world, relatively complete rubbings of the fragments are only monopolized by the legendary top sects and aristocratic families.

Most of the other versions that have been passed down are incomplete or have been altered countless times by later generations.

Even the upper sect of Qingxu Temple, Tianlu Sect, does not possess complete rubbings of the fragmented scrolls.

All cultivators in the world develop their own cultivation methods based on the "Primordial Dao Canon" to suit their own needs.

This process is also known as "asking the heavens for guidance".

However, this book, "The True Secret of Returning to the Origin of All Transformations," makes no use of any of the principles of "The Original Dao Canon"!

It doesn't even mention the most core theory of "original dust" in the "Original Dao Canon".

Is it...

It's... a cultivation technique created by some powerful figure within this demonic sect?!

Even after developing this technique to the Nascent Soul realm, did it not suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?

So... could it really be that the "Sword Refining Technique" was created by a disciple of this sect?!
