Xu Qing exchanged discussions with the Old Heavenly Master until the sky grew faintly light, and both were still engaged in conversation. At this ti, the Old Heavenly Master took out a small booklet and said:
"Xu Jieyuan, this small booklet contains the thod of Guiding Heavenly Thunder. You only need to assist with the Golden Light Spell after completing the Luo Tian Grand Sacrificial Ceremony."
Xu Qing received it and skimd through, imdiately understanding that Guiding Heavenly Thunder was indeed a simplified and rapid mastery thod. Once he had mastered Palmar Thunder, learning this would co naturally and effortlessly.
After his exchange with the Old Heavenly Master last night, he also understood the relationship between the Outer Elixir thod and the Inner Elixir thod.
Essentially, there are commonalities in their theories.
Before the Middle Ages, materials for Outer Elixir thod were easily obtained, and thus the Outer Elixir Dao was naturally prevalent; after the Middle Ages, materials were hard to find, so the Inner Elixir thod gradually replaced the Outer Elixir thod.
Besides, another reason is that the risk of practicing Outer Elixir thod is very high. If an error occurs in Alchemy, not to ntion exploding the Pill Furnace, the Elixirs concocted could be fatally poisonous.
Even if side effects don’t show imdiately, over ti, there will still be problems.
So Cultivators who regularly consud Outer Elixirs not only failed to go through the process of fleshly dissolution and rebirth after death but even beca malevolent ghosts, evil demons, or their corpses were gnawed and nurtured into demons by malignant spirits...
In comparison, the drawbacks of the Inner Elixir thod are noticeably much smaller.
However, these views are solely from Heavenly Master Mansion and may not be entirely accurate but are certainly not comprehensive.
"Whether it’s the Kong Family, the Zhang Family, or other great Aristocratic Families, they have all undergone major catastrophes, and the records passed down are naturally fragnted, then filled in by later generations, or the original recordings have directly beco distorted..."
Having acquired this knowledge, Xu Qing still needed to discern the essence from the dross and sort it out on his own.
This is also an inevitable path for a Cultivator.
Heavenly Dao does not depend on others for fulfillnt.
Besides , all are external paths!
Xu Qing put away the booklet, and the Old Heavenly Master went straight back to his straw hut to sleep.
He ca to Elephant Trunk Cliff, taking advantage of the rising morning sun, to gather Purple Qi.
This Dragon Tiger Mountain truly was a fengshui treasure land.
Xu Qing distinctly felt that when he absorbed Purple Qi, the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor seed to relish the al, showing signs of elation and joy.
Could this Divine Soul Armor actually be picky?
"Is the Purple Qi from Zhong Mountain actually inferior to that from Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Xu Qing felt it was quite mystical.
While Xu Qing was gathering Purple Qi, not far above, sword light flickered, spiraling and dancing lively in the sky.
Finally, it condensed into a strand of pure... white sword aura, which entered into a thick Sword Box.
"Consuming the morning glow and swallowing Purple Qi, are you perhaps a distinguished sage from the Huashan Sect?" The owner of the sword light, a middle-aged man weathered by the elents, asked Xu Qing in surprise.
Seeing that the other party’s Flying Sword Skill was evidently not from a Taoist of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Xu Qing inquired: "I am not a descendant of Guangningzi, but I have so connections with Yu Yangzi from Quanzhen Dao. May I ask how you address yourself?"
"A Shu native from Qingcheng Mountain, Feng Qintian."
That Qingcheng Mountain in Shu is also a famous Taoist mountain teeming with practicing Taoists, and most have varied lineages, but many are Sword Heroes. The outside world often collectively refers to the Sword Heroes of Qingcheng and Ei mountains as the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
In fact, this Sword Sect is not exactly the sa as the True Gang Sect of ancient Gu Wuji.
Even if they recognize each other, they do not have an apparent common bond of the sa sect.
The depth of their relationship mainly depends on whether they are on the sa wavelength and the relationship between their elders.
Such Flying Sword Skill as Feng Qintian’s is rare even in Shu.
After considering for a mont, Xu Qing said: "Could you be the Western Sword Deity, Feng Qintian?"
This is a man ranked in the top ten on the Inner Factory’s black list of extraordinary heroes of the worldly society. Just hearing his na, one can tell that this person is a bit rebellious.
All heroes of the worldly society have their rebellious streak.
Feng Qintian bowed with his hands clasped: "I am not worthy of the title of Sword Deity. May I know the na of my Taoist brother...?"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "I am Xu Qing from Jiangning Prefecture."
"Jiangning Prefecture’s Xu Qing?" Feng Qintian found the na sowhat familiar.
"Brother Feng, what brings you to Elephant Trunk Cliff?" A Taoist ca from a distance.
This Taoist, nad Yu Xuan, was in charge of greetings and farewells at the Heavenly Master Mansion. He personally hosted Xu Qing’s arrival to the mountain.
Seeing Xu Qing, he did not dare to neglect him and after saying a word to Feng Qintian, he imdiately apologized to Xu Qing: "Xu Jieyuan is here too, how about both of you join for a vegetarian al?"
"Xu Jieyuan?" Feng Qintian finally rembered and hurriedly said: "Could it be that you are Xu Gongming from Jiangning?"
Xu Qing: "Indeed, it is I."
Feng Qintian joyfully said: "I never expected to et Xu Jieyuan on Dragon Tiger Mountain, this trip has truly been worthwhile."
Upon finishing, he realized his slip of the tongue and quickly apologized to Yu Xuan, with an appearance of having sothing to discuss with Xu Qing.
Yu Xuan glanced at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing slightly nodded and said: "I always enjoy making friends. If Brother Feng has matters to discuss, we can talk while we walk."
Out and about, he couldn’t change his habit of calling everyone "brother."
Feng Qintian thought: "This Xu Gongming really lives up to the worldly society’s reputation of being generous; despite being a Top Scorer, he carries no airs."
He knew how those scholars and old masters behaved; anyone with a bit of status looked down on them, those without a family reputation.
Seeing that Xu Qing did not bla Feng Qintian for the interruption, Yu Xuan remained silent and respectfully accompanied them on the side.
On the way, Feng Qintian revealed his request.
It turns out that Old Feng’s father-in-law was a wealthy rchant in Shu, who, along with his late wife, had a daughter. After his wife passed away, the daughter was entrusted to the care of her maternal grandfather’s family. He did not remarry but instead traveled the world, earning the title of the Western Sword Deity.
