210: The method of practicing both is obtained!

“See you again, Brother Zhang Cun, come visit often if you have time!”

“Absolutely, absolutely!”

… …

“Brother Zhao is indeed generous. In my life, the people I admire most are those like you, Brother Zhao.”

… …

“We’re all brothers, Brother Chen De, why are you being so polite!”

“What do you mean you can’t accept it? If you don’t accept it, you’ll die at my doorstep.”

“Then, then alright!”

… …

“Early in life, I knew the world was tough…”

“Brother Fang has excellent literary talent, I truly admire you!”

… …

“Ji ni tai mei…”

“…”

“Good!”

… …

After the true disciple recruitment ended the next day, Chen De plunged into the wave of converting core disciples.

These core disciples were deeply entrenched, and moving one affected the whole.

For example, taking down one of them would make it much easier to deal with several or even a dozen others nearby.

Based on their resources, Chen De finally recovered to his peak, Demon Domain Realm, First Level.

The resources Chen De acquired from Xuanzhe Continent were too few, mainly because Chen De had only displayed the strength of Myriad Transformations Realm, First Level at that time.

At that cultivation realm, he naturally couldn't obtain many resources.

The resources he did get were merely a drop in the bucket for Chen De.

However, most of those Chen De approached, while having the qualification to exchange for dual cultivation methods, lacked the ability to actually do so.

Among all the core disciples, apart from those Void Union Realm core disciples, only a handful had the ability to exchange for dual cultivation methods.

And all of them were at least late-stage Myriad Transformation Realm existences.

To deal with them, Chen De would at least need peak Demon Transformation Realm, or even half-step Demon Transformation Realm black liquid to feel secure.

Thus, Chen De decided to fully recover his strength first.

No matter what, Chen De had converted quite a few core disciples.

All their resources were pooled together to help Chen De recover his strength.

Not only that, the surplus also provided Chen De with over a thousand attribute points.

Chen De naturally added these thousand-plus attribute points to speed without hesitation.

After getting all these matters sorted, Chen De planned to imitate his approach back on Xuanzhe Continent.

He would split a large portion of himself to convert the disciple Chen De had chosen.

This time, Chen De had already gained rich experience from converting multiple core disciples.

… …

The disciple Chen De chose this time was named Tian Ji, a Myriad Transformation Realm, Eighth Level martial artist.

Previously, Chen De hadn't seen him when he went to Xuanzhe Continent.

Apparently, he had been left behind by Zhang Cun to guard the base, just in case.

However, with the full-scale rebellion of the indigenous people on Qiu Xian Continent, leaving a few people like this was useless.

There were so many places; they simply couldn't manage them all.

Nevertheless, being left behind to guard the base meant he was one of Zhang Cun's most trusted confidants.

Those Zhang Cun didn't trust would certainly not be allowed to stay here.

Chen De knew that Zhang Cun's caution was normal.

Because during his period of conversion, Chen De had indeed discovered quite a few spies from the other two continents.

There were people from Lin Zhang, people from Li Xuan, and even people from Xiao Shang.

Now, if Chen De were to still visit him under Li Canghai's identity, it might indeed be difficult to meet him.

So before coming, Chen De deliberately switched into the body of a Myriad Transformation Realm, Fifth Level core disciple.

This cultivation level was neither too high nor too low, just right.

Even Tian Ji, a Myriad Transformation Realm, Eighth Level martial artist, couldn't completely disregard the other party.

Therefore, upon receiving Chen De's invitation, Tian Ji immediately had someone lead Chen De in.

As soon as he entered, Chen De gave a look, signaling Tian Ji to dismiss his subordinates first, as there was an important matter to discuss.

Tian Ji was somewhat familiar, yet not entirely familiar, with the disciple Chen De was currently possessing.

He truly couldn't understand what secret they had to discuss.

However, out of curiosity, Tian Ji still had all the surrounding servants leave.

Once everyone had left, Tian Ji looked at Chen De, wanting to see what he would say, “Speak, what do you need to tell me that’s so secret?”

Chen De glanced around, then nervously took something out of his pocket.

Seeing Chen De's nervous expression, Tian Ji leaned in a bit closer.

Chen De's goal didn't actually require Tian Ji to lean in; he just needed to slightly divert his attention.

Then, Tian Ji's expression suddenly stiffened, but quickly returned to normal.

He slowly raised his head, a smile on his face almost reaching his neck.

He's been taken down!

Then, Tian Ji and another disciple left without needing to communicate, as arranged by Tian Ji.

Tian Ji himself also rushed out without delay to exchange for the dual cultivation method for Chen De.

Tian Ji needed to inform his superior, Zhang Cun, before leaving.

Given Tian Ji and Zhang Cun's relationship, his request was quickly approved.

However, there was no place to exchange for it on Qiu Xian Continent; it was only available at the Qiu Xian Hall headquarters on Xuanzhe Continent.

Tian Ji himself had to travel, take a teleportation array, and then travel again to get it.

Chen De himself still decided not to go in person.

If he happened to encounter the two great Heavenly Imperial Realm experts within the hall and they noticed something amiss, Chen De truly wouldn't be able to return.

When he returned, Chen De, who had been waiting for a long time, was already there.

From a great distance, Chen De received memories from Tian Ji.

Upon receiving the memories, Chen De was very excited; after so much hard work, he finally got his hands on it.

Then, Chen De had no intention of meeting with the freshly returned Tian Ji.

Anyway, the item was already in hand, and any extra communication would only be detrimental.

He just let him go wherever he was supposed to go and do whatever he was supposed to do.

Chen De himself, after switching back and forth, returned to Li Canghai's body.

Then, he switched from Li Canghai's body to Ren Changhao's.

Back in the cultivation room, Chen De began to ponder.

The dual cultivation method was both simple and complex.

Simple in that its usage was straightforward, making the dual cultivation system easier.

Complex in that it was difficult to learn; mastering this method would likely require considerable effort.

However, Chen De wasn't short on time now, so if it took some effort to learn, that was fine.

Subsequently, Chen De made arrangements to go out again, focusing on converting disciples skilled in array formations.

Chen De needed to acquire relevant knowledge about array formations from them.

The technique Chen De was about to create would be inseparable from the power of array formations.

… …

And so, under Chen De's command and with the large amount of black liquid he deliberately left behind,

plus the core disciples Chen De had previously converted, all of them contributed significantly.

The focus of the search was on disciples specializing in array formations, not on cultivation level.

As batches of disciples were taken down,

Chen De took the opportunity to gain a large amount of memory regarding array formations.

Three months later…
