Chapter 175 Choosing a Cultivation Method
The Danfeng Sutra Repository houses a vast collection of books.
It is far superior to the Miscellaneous Service Peak and the Spirit Plant Peak.
Lu Qingyun discovered more than a thousand wood-based cultivation techniques, all of which were displayed on bookshelves made of golden silk spirit wood and recorded on jade slips.
These were all acquired by Danfeng cultivators through various means, either by purchase or by other methods, since the founding of the Yunxia Sect.
In terms of financial resources, Danfeng is the most powerful among the outer sects of Yunxia, and therefore has the most martial arts techniques.
Although most of them are just Qi cultivation techniques, or at most, they can be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Lu Qingyun's gaze did not linger on the area of wood-attribute cultivation techniques. Although his spiritual root was primarily wood with secondary metal, the cultivation technique he was looking for had minimal restrictions on his spiritual root.
Whether it's wood, fire, or water, all three types of spiritual roots can be cultivated.
Even those with earth or metal elemental roots will only cultivate more slowly.
"Senior brother, do you have any suggestions for my choice of cultivation method?"
Chen Xiru bit her lip slightly and looked at the man in front of her who seemed confident.
Lu Qingyun's finger traced the names on the jade slips one by one, finally landing on a dusty jade slip in a corner of Danfeng—"The Heavenly Profound Pill Transformation Technique".
Lu Qingyun smiled and said, "If you trust me, there's no rush in choosing a cultivation method. If I'm not mistaken, you not only possess a unique ice-attribute spiritual root, but judging from the subtle changes in your magical power, I think it should be a physique called the Ice Profound Treasure Body."
"The Ice Profound Body?"
Chen Xiru was stunned. In her eyes, Lu Qingyun seemed to have become much more unfathomable, as if he already knew many things about the Yunxia Sect. He could tell her about her physique without ever asking or investigating.
Lu Qingyun flipped through the "Heavenly Profound Pill Manual" and slowly said, "The Ice Profound Body has three major characteristics. First, cultivators who possess the Ice Profound Body will naturally have an Ice Spirit Root. Second, if I'm not mistaken, you will experience a slight pain in your left abdomen in the middle of each month."
"But that's not because your body has a congenital disease. It's just because the ice-attribute magic power in your dantian will naturally condense into another dantian. Since you haven't started cultivating yet, the magic power is stagnating, which is why it has damaged your body."
"Thirdly, compared to ordinary ice spirit root cultivators, your fingers are still much colder. I touched your fingers just now to verify this."
"The answer is exactly as I expected. Your ring finger is colder than the other fingers because the power of the Ice Profound Body is naturally converging there."
Lu Qingyun paused and looked at Chen Xiru.
"If you can successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you will naturally gain an additional ice-attribute divine ability."
As he spoke, Lu Qingyun sighed.
"Of course, if someone were to cut off your finger at that time, use your blood and essence as a catalyst to refine you into resources to fuse with that severed finger, he would claim your supernatural power for himself."
"So that's why my senior brother doesn't want me to go to the Formation Peak, because the True Persons of the Cloud Mist Sect might not be as friendly as I imagined..."
Chen Xiru's eyes were like water as she stared at Lu Qingyun's handsome face.
"Aren't you worried that I might be coveting your supernatural power?"
Chen Xiru smiled, her expression as calm as still water.
"If Senior Brother really wants it, then what's wrong with giving it to him? After all, I'm powerless to resist, am I?"
She turned her head, her figure slightly forlorn, but a bright smile appeared on her lips: "However, I believe in my senior brother."
Lu Qingyun remained silent, a touch of sadness welling up in his heart as he thought of Chen Xiru, who had been taken in as a disciple by that True Person of the Array Peak in his previous life, and who had disappeared without a trace after breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining.
By then, she must have already been turned into provisions by that real person and cruelly murdered...
However, in this life, they are far from the peak of the formation and would certainly not do so.
Chen Xiru looked at the jade slips and murmured to herself:
"Actually, when Senior Brother Xiao and Erniu saw me, I was radiant and seemed to possess talents and beauty that others did not have."
"But little did they know that only Xiru knew the pain in her heart. When Xiru was born, her father died of illness, and the family fell into decline. Her mother disliked Xiru and blamed Xiru for everything that caused her father's death."
"Ultimately, the young Xiru was sent to a nunnery outside the city..."
Chen Xiru turned around, looked at Lu Qingyun, and smiled sadly.
Sweet yet sorrowful.
"If it weren't for a senior cultivator from the Yunxia Sect discovering that I seemed to have spiritual roots and bringing me here, allowing me to meet my senior brother, I'm afraid Xiru would have been hated and humiliated for the rest of her life."
"Xiru has been through so much, so she can sense that there is no scheming in her senior brother's eyes when he looks at her. Therefore, how can she not trust him?"
Chen Xiru lowered her head and whispered in a voice barely audible to herself, "Although, Senior Brother doesn't have any affection or admiration for Xiru."
Chen Xiru could tell that Lu Qingyun regarded her as, but only as, his junior sister.
"As a cultivator, Junior Sister should be more wary of everyone, because in this world, cultivation is never about right or wrong, but about the only great path."
"If the world knew that you possessed such a precious body and had no powerful master to protect you, the covetousness of you would be endless. Even those famous cultivator families and highly respected elders in the sect would not hesitate to attack you."
Lu Qingyun smiled, his eyes calm.
"Then what about Senior Brother? Why didn't he do that?"
Lu Qingyun remained calm and smiled indifferently: "It's because my path in life was already predetermined. Even without my junior sister as a resource, I can still break through the half-step Foundation Establishment stage and then break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"On the contrary, attacking my junior sister would not be in accordance with my principles."
Chen Xiru didn't ask any more questions, she just smiled sweetly.
Although Lu Qingyun spoke ruthlessly, she already had the answer she wanted.
"As for your choice of cultivation method, you may pick any one that catches your eye to use for your sect's records or for your own practice. In addition, I have another cultivation method in my possession."
"Although this cultivation technique is water-based, it has all the necessary resources and pathways. It can also be used for cultivation with ice-based spiritual roots, and there will be no bottlenecks before the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"If I can successfully establish my foundation, even if I want to change my cultivation method, it will be much better than being helpless and coveted by others now."
What Lu Qingyun was referring to was the "Mysterious Frost Devouring Flame Technique" that he had obtained from Bai Tianxiong.
Although he himself was unable to cultivate these two cultivation techniques due to his spiritual root, there was no doubt that as a superior cultivation technique that could quickly establish a foundation, it was very suitable for Chen Xiru.
As for Bai Tianxiong and Zheng Zhizhuo, they are nothing but two withered trees in a tomb. Once he breaks through to the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he can easily kill them with one hand and use them as provisions.
Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Yuechan can also be rescued, freeing her from her suffering.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyun smiled.
