Xu Shu:...
What the hell, wasn’t riding a sewing machine supposed to be for making clothes for ?
How did it end up stripping down?
Are you reliable at all, you old scholar?
Xu Shu’s smile was a bit stiff, and he politely asked, "Sir, please continue. This junior is gaining great insight, and it’s very enlightening."
The old man nodded and said, "Hmm, your attitude towards learning is comndable! In short, due to the special nature of that sect, everyone’s cultivation path sowhat relies on external things. While so have strayed into unconventional paths, anything can develop its unique lineage, justifying the na Penglai Wanfa.
"Look at that guy, no surprises, he’s a Mishu!"
Xu Shu followed the direction of the old man’s finger and saw a middle-aged fat man buying so hot dishes from a woman selling train lunches, then grabbing a dark wooden bucket filled with fragrant rice and devouring it crazily.
"Uh..."
What nonsense is this? Are you sure this guy isn’t a Barrel Cultivator?
Xu Shu was sowhat displeased.
"Like these people, they cultivate dead objects, not venturing into Qin, which makes them easier to control..."
At this point, the old man stared at Xu Shu, paused, and said, "But you are different. You rely on living things as your basis, which makes you a Living Cultivator. Living Cultivation is easier to get started with than cultivating dead objects, and the techniques are more varied. However, it consus your future life grid, and a slight mistake can lead to great disaster; it’s extrely dangerous.
"Let’s not talk about it anymore. Young man, I see you have taken a detour at such a young age. You must know that practicing Snake Cultivation is considered inferior among Living Cultivation thods. Snake nature is extrely yin, enchanting and bone-corroding, feeding on spirit and absorbing marrow. Although everything has its reason for existence, you should not indulge in this, lest you miss out on great prospects."
The old man’s heartfelt words were not harsh, but they sincerely conveyed his earnestness.
Only then did Xu Shu realize that the other party was advising him not to be obsessed with physical attraction?
He was talking about being enchanting, bone-corroding, marrow-absorbing... His insight is indeed sharp. The Snake Mother’s three curses indeed possess such capabilities...
But it’s strange, how does he know I’d use snakes for that... No, how does he know I use snakes to assist Kua Fu Chasing the Sun for a mind-shaking direct hit?
...Xu Shu’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
However, even though speaking deeply to acquaintances is taboo, Xu Shu wasn’t offended.
After all, he’s not a real Snake Cultivator, there’s no reason to be outraged over this.
On the contrary, despite being strangers before, this person was willing to give such genuine advice, which showed he was a kind-hearted person. Xu Shu found himself liking him much more.
So, Xu Shu cupped his hand and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will definitely keep this danger in mind," as a gesture of gratitude for the advice.
At the sa ti, he took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, senior, the techniques you ntioned, do these so-called ’dead cultivators’ not use the Sealing Technique? In Penglai, does everyone use the Ancient thod for cultivation?"
This was what Xu Shu was most concerned and surprised about.
It is known that even soone like "Wang Teng," who was born with a special life grid, can’t use Ancient thod Cultivation anymore. Without the Curse Seal, there’s no way to advance.
If Penglai still allows Ancient thod Cultivation, it would be a huge breakthrough for him!
Just as this thought arose, Xu Shu saw the gluttonous "Mishu" scratching his head, then casually tapping a ring to open a small light screen and started swiping it nonchalantly.
Uh, Promotion Drive... isn’t it supposed to be Ancient thod Cultivation? Why is there Promotion Drive involved...
As Xu Shu’s expression turned slightly stiff, the old man beside him said, "Young friend, what you’re saying isn’t correct. Although Penglai Wanfa is profound, ultimately it does rely on the basics of the Sealing Technique."
Actually, there was no need for the old man to explain; Xu Shu had already seen it himself.
The way of "dead cultivation" and "living cultivation" isn’t all that different—all use external objects as Curse Tools, but ultimately, the Cursing Seal Cultivation thod is still the only way.
The difference is that their curse tools have particular features, hence the Penglai Wanfa hype.
The fla of ’Ancient thod Cultivation revival’ was instantly snuffed out, leaving Xu Shu a bit dispirited.
"Co to think of it, I still need a suitable curse tool. Maybe I should find so ti and spend a bit to pick one that suits , which would help enhance my combat ability."
He muttered to himself with thoughts in his mind.
While he had it figured out, the old man’s words still had so impact on him, at least broadening his view.
Thus, Xu Shu expressed his gratitude politely: "Thank you, senior. This place really is fertile ground for talent, greatly expanding my horizons and broadening my knowledge!"
Seeing this, the old man waved it off warmly, then extended his hand palm-up, saying, "No need for thanks, young friend. Since you have gained knowledge, why not pay up."
"Huh?" Xu Shu’s expression stiffened slightly, "Pay for what?"
The old man rubbed his fingers and said, "You see, I’m a teacher. The academy pays to impart knowledge to students, and I’ve just imparted knowledge to you, so it’s only natural you pay so fees, right?"
"I..."
Xu Shu barely restrained the urge to twitch his face.
Well, you have got to be kidding with this!
But on second thought, he did indeed say ’broadening horizons, gaining knowledge’ himself just now, and what the other person said was actually quite useful... There truly is no free lunch in the world...
