Return the Immortal-Rank Cultivation Technique!

Qingxuan Peak, the waterfall behind the mountain.

Ye Qing looked calmly at Lin Xueer, who was sitting cross-legged before him, Spiritual Qi faintly forming tiny vortices around her body.

The girl had completely adapted to the Profound Spirit Body; at this moment, she was like a peerless uncut jade, waiting only for careful carving before she could unleash boundless brilliance.

And the first step in carving was the Cultivation Technique.

"Xueer, focus your mind and calm your Qi. Your Revered Master will now pass on the sect's Mind-Cultivation Technique, the Qingxuan Art," Ye Qing said, his voice steady and carrying a reassuring strength.

The Qingxuan Art, a Profound Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique, was the fundamental method passed down through generations of Qingxuan Peak, known for being balanced and peaceful, excelling in establishing a solid Foundation. For ordinary Disciples, it was an invaluable method.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueer quickly gathered her focus, concentrating her gaze inward, and entered a state of profound clarity.

Ye Qing extended a finger, faint azure light swirling around its tip, and lightly tapped Lin Xueer's glabella.

Buzz!

An esoteric spell, transforming into countless golden runes, instantly flooded into Lin Xueer's Sea of Consciousness.

[Ding! Host has bestowed the Profound Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique, the Qingxuan Art, upon the Disciple, triggering a 100,000x Critical Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Immortal Rank Low Grade Cultivation Method, the Tai Xuan Golden Chapter!]

Almost simultaneously, a terrifying torrent of information, vastly more profound and boundless than the Qingxuan Art, surged into Ye Qing's mind!

If the Qingxuan Art was a babbling brook, then the Tai Xuan Golden Chapter was an infinite Sea of Dao encompassing the stars of the Universe!

The very first sentence of its general outline was: "Grand Mystic without limit, Golden Scripture eternal, body transforms into a furnace, refining myriad Dao into one"!

This was no longer just a simple Cultivation Technique, but a supreme Immortal Path that pointed directly to the Origin of the Great Dao, utterly domineering and peerless!

A monstrous wave rose in Ye Qing's heart, but his expression remained calm and unperturbed.

Immortal Rank Cultivation Method!

Could this be the legendary supreme method that only Immortals could pass down?!

Ye Qing only knew the Heaven Rank, Earth Rank, Profound Rank, and Yellow Rank.

He had never heard of the Immortal Rank before. Clearly, the Immortal Rank Cultivation Method was far superior in Rank to the Heaven Rank.

He forcefully suppressed his excitement, and a thought suddenly popped up.

Since bestowing treasures upon a Disciple yields a Critical Return, if I bestow the returned Tai Xuan Golden Chapter upon Xueer again, will the System return an even more powerful Cultivation Technique?

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be restrained.

If this were possible, wouldn't he be able to exploit a glitch infinitely, farming Cultivation Techniques that surpassed the Immortal Rank, or even higher Ranks?

Thinking this, Ye Qing didn't hesitate. He focused his mind again, organized the vast Tai Xuan Golden Chapter in his memory, and prepared to transmit it to Lin Xueer once more.

However, the moment he was about to act, the System prompt sounded again.

[Warning: Items returned by the System cannot be used for a secondary bestowal to trigger a Critical Return. Host, please be aware.]

"As expected..."

A flash of understanding crossed Ye Qing's mind, but he wasn't too disappointed.

If such a Heaven-Defying System had such an obvious loophole, that would be strange. Just obtaining an Immortal Rank Cultivation Method was already a tremendous Opportunity.

A man's greed knows no bounds.

He quickly adjusted his mindset.

Although he couldn't use it to farm rewards, the Tai Xuan Golden Chapter was a genuine Immortal Rank Cultivation Method. Using it for Xueer's Foundation Establishment was utterly extravagant!

By building her Foundation with an Immortal Rank Cultivation Method, her future achievements would be limitless!

"Xueer, guard your mind. The Qingxuan Art just now was merely an introduction. What your Revered Master is about to pass on is the true Supreme Dao!"

Ye Qing's voice became extremely solemn.

Lin Xueer's heart tightened, and she dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Golden light erupted from Ye Qing's fingertip, and he tapped her glabella again.

Boom!!!

The vast Tai Xuan Golden Chapter surged into Lin Xueer's Sea of Consciousness. The girl's body trembled violently, and her originally crystalline skin instantly burst forth with brilliant golden divine radiance!

Behind her, the faint phantom of an ancient deity even appeared, reciting heavenly scriptures, its words becoming law!

This was a Cultivation Technique phenomenon!

Only Cultivation Techniques of extremely high Rank, and those that perfectly matched the Cultivator, could possibly trigger such a phenomenon upon first practice!

"Good! Very good!"

Ye Qing nodded in satisfaction.

The Cultivation Technique issue was settled. Next came the resources for Cultivation.

With a thought, he retrieved a blue porcelain bottle from his Storage Ring.

This was the last bit of property the Old Peak Master had left behind—a bottle of Rank Two Medium Grade Medicinal Pills, qi condensing pills.

There were twelve pills in total, used by Qi Refinement Stage Disciples to stabilize their cultivation and increase their Cultivation speed. In the former Qingxuan Peak, these were considered valuable items.

"Xueer, this is a qi condensing pill. It can help you accelerate the accumulation of spiritual power. Within today, you can break through all your Meridians in one go and step into the first level of Qi Refining!"

Ye Qing handed the porcelain bottle over.

Lin Xueer respectfully accepted it, her eyes filled with gratitude. She knew this was likely the only Medicinal Pill her Revered Master had left.

[Ding! Host has bestowed the Rank Two Medium Grade Medicinal Pill, the "qi condensing pill," upon the Disciple, triggering a 1,000x Critical Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a bottle of Rank Four Low Grade Medicinal Pill, the "four-nine azure spirit pill!"]

The moment the System prompt finished, a warm white jade bottle appeared out of thin air in Ye Qing's System space.

With a thought, he uncorked the bottle. A rich, refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the area. Just taking a whiff made the Golden Core inside him spin joyfully, purifying his magical power slightly!

He poured one out to examine it. The Medicinal Pill was entirely jade-green, with four faint, naturally formed pill markings on its surface. Pill Qi swirled around it, and the faint sound of azure clouds whistling could be heard. The Spiritual Qi contained within was pure and majestic, hundreds, if not thousands, of times stronger than that qi condensing pill!

Rank Four Medicinal Pill!

This was a treasure that even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would covet!

An ordinary Golden Core Cultivator could save years of arduous Cultivation by obtaining just one. Yet, he held an entire bottle!

"Hahaha, excellent!"

Ye Qing laughed heartily in his mind.

Danxia Peak? Zhao Qian?

You thought you could bribe me and seize my Foundation with 100,000 Spirit Stones and three Spirit Gathering Pills?

Absolutely ridiculous!

What the System returned from the items I casually bestowed upon my Disciple far surpasses your paltry rubbish!

With the Tai Xuan Golden Chapter and the "four-nine azure spirit pill," protecting Qingxuan Peak will be no problem!

"Xueer, Cultivate in peace. With your Revered Master here, the sky won't fall."

Ye Qing looked gently at Lin Xueer, his voice filled with unparalleled confidence.

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Lin Xueer nodded heavily, held the qi condensing pill in her hand, and returned to her room for closed-door Cultivation, taking her first step onto the Immortal Path.

As for Ye Qing, he turned and walked into the depths of the Immortal Cave, preparing to use the four-nine azure spirit pill to push his cultivation level up further!
