Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 486: Chapter 289 Welfare_2

“Elder Cai is in charge of the Book Collection Pavilion and is very familiar with the cultivation techniques here. I need a body refining technique and an autonomous cultivation method for corpse refining!” Li Yuanba gave a third-grade spirit pill in exchange for accurate information.

“Junior Li has come to the right person. We have one hundred and thirty-two body refining techniques here. If one does not consider the difficulty of cultivation but only the effects, the top-ranked one is this ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’!” Elder Cai, having received the gift, was naturally very enthusiastic in his response.

He reached out his hand, and a jade scroll flew over from a nearby shelf.

“As I see that Junior Li does not carry the aura of devil cultivation techniques, you probably would not choose a devil body refining technique. This ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ is said to have been discovered by an ancestor of our sect when exploring an ancient mansion. This is up to the late-stage golden core cultivation method, and the method for the nascent soul stage needs to be exchanged with contribution points!” Elder Cai continued to introduce.

Li Yuanba had few objections to Elder Cai’s assessment.

Elder Cai appeared to be of advanced age, and such insight was expected of him.

Li Yuanba received the Jade Scroll of the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ and probed into it with his divine thought.

Without going through the handover procedures, he could only see the introduction part of this cultivation technique.

Just as Elder Cai had introduced, Cai almost repeated the introduction of the technique, but Li Yuanba noticed that Elder Cai had omitted something, that is, this body refining technique was a pure yang body refining technique.

No wonder Elder Cai said to consider only the results of cultivation and not the difficulty, for it’s likely that in the sect, cultivators who meet the conditions to practice the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ are extremely rare.

Such pure yang body refining techniques like the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ naturally conflict with most of the devil cultivators in the Senluo Sect.

“If you are not satisfied, there are two other body refining techniques that are also quite good!” Elder Cai did not expect Li Yuanba to be interested in the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique.’ He was simply arranging the introduction based on his analysis of the techniques on the third floor of the Book Collection Pavilion and introduced them to Li Yuanba in order.

Such an introduction made him feel that he was worthy of the third-grade spirit pill that Li Yuanba had given.

At the same time, such an introduction could also show his worth. After all, who could have such a familiarity with the cultivation techniques in the Book Collection Pavilion besides him?

“No need, I’ll choose the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ for the body refining technique!” Li Yuanba was thinking of his own Taiji Dao Body, which was a Supreme Yang Body in human form, and it matched perfectly with the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’.

This answer made the words Elder Cai was about to say get stuck in his throat, creating a feeling of agitation that he was eager to express.

“You do have an eye for quality,’ the ‘Fiery Sun Jade Body Technique’ is definitely the strongest body refining technique here!” Elder Cai calmed his emotions and said with a forced smile.

“Please introduce another technique for me, Elder Cai!” Li Yuanba then requested.

“Autonomous cultivation methods for corpse refining are extremely rare. There are only three recorded here. To pick the strongest out of the three autonomous corpse refining methods, it would certainly be the ‘Evil Corpse Spirit Record,’ but the ‘Evil Corpse Spirit Record’ requires the corpse being refined to have extremely high spirituality due to the complexity of the content. Without sufficient spirituality, the corpse is unable to cultivate it!” Elder Cai felt that Li Yuanba probably wanted the strongest technique, so he still started with the strongest one.

It’s normal for autonomous cultivation methods for corpse refining to be rare, as the growth of refined corpses is generally achieved through absorbing spiritual objects and in formations where yin cold energy gathers.

Refined corpses capable of cultivating autonomously are exceedingly uncommon. Take the refined corpses by Li Shiming’s side, for example. Although there are more than a dozen refined corpses on his side, none of them are capable of cultivating autonomously.

The reason lies in spirituality. It’s no problem for a master to control a refined corpse in combat, but to manipulate the energy inside the corpse to operate according to a cultivation method requires much more intricate control, something the refined corpse must do on its own.

However, the wisdom of a refined corpse is almost exclusively pointed towards combat, with other aspects being at the level of severe intellectual disability, making it nearly impossible for such a being to cultivate sophisticated techniques.

Of course, since there are autonomous cultivation methods for refined corpses, there must be corpses capable of cultivating such techniques.

In the legends, it is said that there is an extremely low chance during the corpse refining ritual that a Corpse King with high spirituality will emerge. These techniques are meant for the Corpse King to cultivate.

Therefore, as Elder Cai introduced the techniques to Li Yuanba, he occasionally glanced at Li Yuanba’s waist, hoping to get a glimpse of what his refined corpse looked like.

Of course, one couldn’t see it that way, it was an instinctual action following an association.

“Then I’ll choose ‘Evil Corpse Spirit Record’!” Li Yuanba didn’t even look this time and made his decision.

In his opinion, what sort of spirituality in Corpse Refining could surpass his own? He wasn’t afraid of any spiritual requirements, as long as it was a cultivation technique for refining corpses, that was fine.

“This ‘Evil Corpse Spirit Record’ is a complete set, capable of reaching the Golden Corpse Realm!” Elder Cai said as he reached out for a jade scroll again and introduced it.

Methods like ‘Evil Corpse Spirit Record’ were quite different from the cultivation techniques that cultivators refined themselves and were much less significant in importance, requiring much less in terms of realm.

He completed the procedures and placed the two jade scrolls into a nearby formation; a light enveloped the jade scrolls, which was the formation unlocking the restrictions on the scrolls.

“The jade scrolls cannot leave the sect, you must return them within a month!” As Elder Cai handed over the two jade scrolls to Li Yuanba, he reminded him.

Li Yuanba was already aware of this; the sect was cautious with its cultivation techniques, rarely allowing them to be taken outside unless a cultivator personally memorized them.

That is why the probability of finding cultivation techniques among Li Yuanba’s spoils of war was extremely low.

In the Beishu Continent, sect cultivators from major sects would carry jade scrolls with cultivation techniques either inherited from their masters, secretly copied by themselves, or purchased from outside; the techniques from the Book Collection Pavilion of the sects could not be taken out.

However, he had acquired several complete methods from Sword Cultivation Golden Core Yun Xingyi, because Yun Xingyi’s sect was relocating, and that’s why the techniques were carried with him.

Of course, some powerful sect cultivators would also carry important methods with them, which showed their complete confidence in their own strength, ensuring that no secrets would be leaked.

Li Yuanba took the two jade scrolls and then went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to collect a storage bracelet containing the equipment and resources allocated to him by the sect.

The magic treasure was a flying sword of very ordinary quality, which is part of the welfare for Golden Core cultivators of a large sect; there were four types of magic treasures to choose from, all of similar quality.

From the perspective of Artifact Refining techniques, they were all crafted by masters, but due to the use of only third-grade materials, which are the lowest, the quality of the magic treasures was somewhat unsatisfactory.

He took this flying sword treasure according to the principle of not wasting what’s free; later, he would decide whether to trade it or give it away, as he wouldn’t be refining it himself.

He feared refining a sword treasure of such quality would waste his time.

The rest were third-grade Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Tea, which he received all at once as a three-year allotment.

It seemed that whether it was a major sect of the Righteous Path or the Devil Path, the welfare was about the same.

Considering that the Cultivation World had developed for tens of thousands of years, some rules had become fixed, so it was normal for major sects to have similar welfare.

Li Yuanba returned to the location where Ten Thousand Sword Peak had been, took out the Ten Thousand Sword Peak treasure, and with a thought, the Ten Thousand Sword Peak treasure suddenly enlarged before him, returning to its normal form of Ten Thousand Sword Peak.

Since he wasn’t using the Ten Thousand Sword Peak treasure for attack, the mountain body of Ten Thousand Sword Peak gently landed in its original place, perfectly aligned without any discrepancy.

He entered the mountain, and the Mountain Protection Array activated.

His cave dwelling and spiritual vein were all restored; aside from Ten Thousand Sword Peak being refined into a treasure, there was almost no difference from before.

Of course, when he traveled in the future, he could take his cave dwelling along with Ten Thousand Sword Peak, no longer having to worry about other cultivators having designs on Ten Thousand Sword Peak.

And the Ten Thousand Sword Peak treasure also became an important protective treasure for him, even the strongest for a long time to come.
