260: I'm willing to work overtime!

“Here, take this!”

“Take this bottle of Five Elements Reversion Pill too; don't waste it.”

“Oh? The Barrier-Breaking Profound Enlightenment Pill! This is a great item that can temporarily increase your Comprehension Ability. You can use it when you study the Cloud Seal Edict Treasure Chapter and the Nine Palaces Mountain Shifting Array Formula later!”

“And these...”

Inside the Qingxuan Sect Scripture Pavilion, a scene concerning “an unscrupulous capitalist exploiting an honest employee” was unfolding.

The dharma body numbly accepted the Medicinal Pills and Jade Slips that Lu Ming continuously shoved at him, then expressionlessly turned and walked toward the corner to begin his busy work.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming continued to tally the spoils he had collected from Cheng Qingxuan's Storage Pouch, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curling upward.

As for the “voluntarily working overtime” dharma body nearby?

Since it's “voluntary overtime,” if he's happy to do it, just let him!

What? You say the dharma body cannot Cultivate?

The thing is, I didn't ask him to Cultivate! He is merely helping the main body relieve worry.

Speaking of which, I have to criticize myself!

Before, he was stuck in a dead end, always thinking the dharma body was a “rice weevil” that only consumed without producing, eating his food, using his things, and wearing his clothes! And offering no feedback whatsoever.

Now it seems this idea was completely wrong!

Although the dharma body cannot circulate the heavenly circuit to absorb Qi and Cultivate, that doesn't mean he can't do anything.

With so much free time, if all of it is utilized, couldn't he continuously study all kinds of Spells, Cultivation Techniques, and Legacies day and night, running non-stop?

Since the main body and he are connected by heart, if the dharma body learns something, I learn it too; what the dharma body comprehends is what the main body comprehends.

The dharma body can even process and refine the Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Plants used for daily Cultivation on my behalf.

In any case, the main body is still the ultimate beneficiary!

So how is this a rice weevil? This is clearly an external brain, an all-weather Cultivation accelerator, and an immortal Cultivation proxy tool!”

Once he figured this out, the “capitalist” spirit deep within Lu Ming could no longer be hidden.

The dharma body felt bitter, but what could the dharma body do? He was helpless!

He could only obediently go to the side to study the Cultivation Technique Legacy.

The Cloud Seal Edict Treasure Chapter he was studying was a Rank Three Talisman Legacy stored in the Qingxuan Sect Scripture Pavilion.

It is based on the Cloud Seal Heavenly Scripture, commanding the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence. After learning it, every stroke contains Dao rhythm.

This is also the biggest difference between Rank Three and Rank Two: it is no longer limited to spiritual ink and Talisman paper. As long as one's Dao attainment is deep enough, one can even engrave runes on any object.

Lu Ming had a guess: if the Dao of Talismans is Cultivated to its peak, perhaps one can use the sky as the brush, the earth as the paper, Dao rhythm as the ink, and condense a Great Dao Immortal Talisman!

Of course, this is just a guess, but following this trend, it probably wouldn't be far off.

As for the other technique, the Nine Palaces Mountain Shifting Array Formula, it originated from Heavenly Star Immortal City. It is a Rank Three Formation essential formula that uses the Nine Palaces structure to shift mountain terrain and transform earth veins into the Formation base, making it incredibly profound.

“If I can also get the Alchemy Dao and Artifact Refining Legacy from the Cloud Thunder Pavilion, then my 'Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation' will be completely collected at the Rank Three stage.”

Watching the dharma body study, Lu Ming was also calculating in his mind.

“I just don't know if Ancestor Yun Chen is willing to trade...”

He rubbed his chin, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

“However, I don't think the problem will be too big. In this Cultivation World, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged. If there is, it only means the price is not high enough!”

As for the Ji Clan Immortal Dynasty... Lu Ming learned from Ji Ruge that they have always only valued Bloodline Legacy and talent. They Cultivate the Emperor's Art of the Mind and practice the Art of Controlling People.

To them, things like pills, artifacts, Formations, and Talismans are merely “craftsmen's techniques.” Given their status, why would they bother learning such things?

Although they don't learn them, they can command those who are proficient in these Daos to serve them.

This is their so-called Art of Controlling People! It's not about revealing some Kingly Dominance Aura and having everyone submit.

Rather, it is a secret technique that can truly manipulate thoughts and even shake the Dao Heart.

Therefore, the Ji Clan Imperial Family is not without merit to Lu Ming.

After all, they do have unique insights into Divine Soul Cultivation and Heart-Nature tempering.

But that is all!

Because Lu Ming's Dao Heart is something he himself cannot shake; any stray thoughts are all transferred away by the golden book.

The reason he is paying attention is that he feels the move to refine Ji Ruge into a Banner Spirit seems to have been accidentally correct!
