Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 822: Chapter 457: Blackmail (Part 2)

He pushed the jade bottle and the jade box in front of Ancestor Ren Xun. If Ancestor Ren Xun did not agree, he would take back the ’Nascent Condensing Pill’ and the Golden Corpse Core.

”Master Li, you win. I do have a cultivation method that can be practiced to the Mahayana Realm, and it is an inheritance technique. But I hope that this cultivation method will not be heard of on the Beishu Continent for at least a hundred years!” Ancestor Ren Xun did not take the jade bottle and jade box, and spoke with a helpless bitter smile.

For the sake of his injuries, he had no power to refuse.

Compared to healing his injuries, everything he paid was worth it.

He took out a golden jade scroll and handed it to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming accepted the jade scroll, and the cultivation method inside was the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill,’ a fire attribute technique that was complete from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Mahayana Realm, and it contained numerous experiences from predecessors.

”The Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill is a cultivation method from another continent. Its sect was destroyed, and the method was collected by me but not yet handed over to the trading house. Although the trading house does not yet know the name of the method, if news gets out in the next few decades, they will know it was me who shared it, and I will have big trouble with the trading house!” Ancestor Ren Xun explained.

Having taken out the cultivation method, some things still need to be clarified.

But as it was payment, he did not have the power to prevent Li Shiming from spreading it, so he gave a time limit, merely asking not to let the news spread for a while, without prohibiting dissemination within a century.

”Rest assured, the news definitely won’t spread within a hundred years!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

In a short time, the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ in the golden jade scroll was recorded by the personal treasure IBMz15, and based on numerous previously obtained cultivation methods and experiences within, the method was verified.

It’s important to know that the experiences alone left by over forty cultivators are lengthy records of their cultivation processes.

Comparing the predecessors’ experiences with the method, if someone wanted to fake such complex false information without being detected by IBMz15, it would not be easy.

Finally, Ancestor Ren Xun gave a jade box containing a Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine and an elixir recipe to Li Shiming, who also gave him ten days, after which he would take the spirit pill.

Ancestor Ren Xun left Sword Holding Peak and was arranged to stay in a temporary guest cave dwelling.

Soon after, Elder Zuo and Fan Ancestor returned to Sword Holding Peak after settling Ancestor Ren Xun.

”Shiming, your hands aren’t princely, are they?” Elder Zuo asked with a smile.

”Uncle-master Ancestor, I obtained resources to form a nascent, a Golden Corpse Core, and this!” Li Shiming said, taking out the golden jade scroll.

”Keep your things. We’re not here to claim your possessions.” Elder Zuo quickly gestured with his hand.

He didn’t want Li Shiming to misunderstand; he and Fan Ancestor were merely curious about Li Shiming’s gains and had no intention of profiting from it.

”This is the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ I requested from Ancestor Ren. It can reach the Mahayana Realm and includes a complete inheritance. I just promised that the method wouldn’t be leaked for a century!” Li Shiming said with a smile.

”Good child, thinking of the sect!” Fan Ancestor eyes brightened as he looked at the golden jade scroll and praised.

He wasn’t shy, took the golden jade scroll, and examined it.

Elder Zuo’s gaze also turned to the golden jade scroll, equally curious about its contents.

Although the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ can reach the Mahayana Realm, it’s not very useful for Elder Zuo and Fan Ancestor, who are already at the Nascent Soul Stage.

They are not like Venerable Huijing, whose cultivation methods have distinct characteristics, and switching would require a method compatible with their previous cultivation.

Obviously, the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ does not fit their methods, so no matter how high its grade, it would be for reference at most.

Of course, the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ might be of little use to them, but its significance to the Shushan Sect is considerable.

Although there are resource constraints, with a breakthrough in methods beyond the Nascent Soul Stage, it provides the Shushan Sect with a sliver of hope for higher achievements.

”Shiming, this method is significant to the sect, we will accept it. Whatever you need, just let us know, and the sect will certainly provide it!” Fan Ancestor said excitedly, handing off the golden jade scroll to Elder Zuo and then addressed Li Shiming.

He didn’t expect the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ to be so complete that it could directly become a sect inheritance method.

Even with the hundred-year restriction, what are a hundred years in the cultivation world? This method can be passed down through the ages.

”What a pity, if I had this method before forming my nascent, I would certainly have switched cultivation!” Elder Zuo remarked, unable to resist after a moment.

Compared to his own cultivation method, the grade difference is more than just a notch.

The spiritual power cultivated with the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’, compared to his, increases in power by several times at the same stage.

Li Shiming gifted the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ as a way to repay the sect.

Although his current achievements are largely due to his own efforts, he also remembers the tremendous aid the sect provided.

Having the capability to give back, he naturally thought of repaying the sect.

Moreover, having memorized the entirety of the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ does not hinder Venerable Huijing’s transition.

He was very satisfied with the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’, as its grade was not inferior to the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’.

Of course, the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ Li Shiming is currently practicing, due to the ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array’ and the five golden cores, has long exceeded the original power of the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’.

His ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ is equivalent to the collective power of five cultivators each practicing the ’Five Rhymes Qi Cultivation Technique’ for different Five Elements Attributes, yielding several times the power originally.

The two Nascent Soul Ancestors hurriedly left with the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’. Although they couldn’t practice it, much of its content still inspired them.

With the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’, their insights would greatly expand, providing a boost to their cultivation.

Li Shiming once again announced his alchemy to the outside world, and the Mountain Protection Array Formation on Sword Holding Peak was activated.

Ten days later, only Elder Zuo accompanied Ancestor Ren Xun to the outside of Sword Holding Peak, except that if Ancestor Ren Xun could not walk alone in the mountain gate, Elder Zuo would not have wanted to come.

Fan Ancestor did not come, as his mind was focused on studying the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’.

Elder Zuo looked anxiously at Sword Holding Peak, wanting to end the matter quickly and return to research with Fan Ancestor.

At their level, few things could attract their interest.

Had Li Shiming not leveraged Ancestor Ren Xun’s weakness, he would never have brought out such a precious method.

A method that inherits to the Mahayana Realm is sufficient to influence a sect’s strength.

Elder Zuo and Fan Ancestor, situated in the Beishu Continent, would never encounter a method of this level even after ten thousand years.

”Master Li, how did it go?” Ancestor Ren Xun asked anxiously as he saw Li Shiming, looking pale, flying out from Sword Holding Peak.

He had paid such a high price precisely for the Fourth Grade Healing High-level Spirit Pill.

”Here!” Li Shiming tossed a jade bottle to Ancestor Ren Xun.

His pale face was an act, and with multiple attempts, he had honed his technique, believing that with a few more tries, he could create a secret technique to make facial paleness appear more natural.

IBMz15, his personal treasure, played a role in this, combined with past life’s medical knowledge of bodily studies and this life’s body refinement techniques, creating a feigned weakness even convincing to a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
