135: Chapter 135: Change the practice method?

Upon hearing Li Ziqi's question, the surrounding maidservants instantly perked up, their ears raised, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Du Juan's expression was slightly solemn as she softly said,

"Everyone, stop discussing the Zhong Sheng Sect. The situation is too sensitive right now.

You should all focus on your work, earn more resources, and Cultivate.

You all have Spiritual Roots, so what does whether Mortals can Cultivate have to do with us?

For now, just stay in the shop and don't go anywhere. We'll talk about it after this storm passes."

Having received the answer she wanted, Du Juan intended to return.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind her subordinates again, her eyes full of caution.

As the two walked out of the shop, they realized that not a single Spirit Feather Crane, which used to be seen everywhere in the city, was in sight. Helpless, they had no choice but to walk back.

Along the way, the pedestrians were all in a hurry, their steps quick, their expressions panicked.

It took a while for the two to reach home, but fortunately, they didn't encounter any inspections along the way, which made them secretly sigh in relief.

"Sigh!"

Wang Bin sighed heavily, his face filled with helplessness and confusion,

"This Zhong Sheng Sect is truly overestimating itself, daring to provoke the Chu family!"

Du Juan looked at the sighing Wang Bin, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes as she asked curiously,

"Senior Brother, have you heard about the Zhong Sheng Sect before?"

Today was her first time hearing about the Zhong Sheng Sect, but looking at Wang Bin, he seemed to have known for a long time.

Wang Bin hesitated slightly, thinking that since the Zhong Sheng Sect's affairs were already widely known, speaking about it wouldn't be leaking secrets, so he began,

"I encountered the Zhong Sheng Sect ten years ago. At that time, Xiaoyue and I were returning to White Cloud City when a Fox Spirit and a Qingluan Bird suddenly appeared on the road to ambush us, and I…"

Then, Wang Bin roughly recounted his grievances and entanglements with the Zhong Sheng Sect to Du Juan in detail.

"Ah!"

Du Juan's face changed, revealing a worried expression,

"Will White Cloud City be in danger? Xiaoyue and your son are still there!"

Wang Bin also frowned, pondering the matter.

Four Seas City is over ten thousand li away from White Cloud City. Even with his Flying Cloud Shuttle, it would take at least a day and a night to travel at full speed.

If something really happened now, even if he left immediately, it would be too late to return, and he had no idea what the situation outside was like.

If he ventured out rashly at this moment, he might fall into greater danger.

After much thought, he felt that staying in West Sea City was the safest option for now. It was better to first figure out the whole story before making any plans.

However, the most urgent task was to first appease Du Juan's emotions.

"Aunt, West Sea City is truly too far from White Cloud City. We can't possibly rush back in a short time.

Even if something really happened in White Cloud City, it's too late to go back now.

Moreover, the current situation is unclear. It's safer for us to temporarily stay in West Sea City.

Before I left, I had already made proper arrangements for White Cloud City. The Formation in the city can definitely withstand Foundation Establishment Stage enemies.

Even if Golden Core cultivators come, there's no need to fear. I even left a secret weapon for Xiaoyue.

Of course, if a large number of Golden Core Stage or even Nascent Soul Stage enemies besiege White Cloud City, both of us returning would be pointless.

But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is not high. There are hundreds of cities like White Cloud City next to the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Where would so many Golden Core cultivators come from?"

Du Juan's expression changed repeatedly as she listened to Wang Bin's explanation, finally sighing helplessly and saying nothing more.

She knew in her heart that since the Zhong Sheng Sect dared to openly challenge the Chu family of West Sea City, their strength must not be underestimated, and she was certainly no match for them.

Now, she could only wait and see, hoping that Xiaoyue and the others would be safe.

Wang Bin also began to ponder his next itinerary.

He needed to inquire about the situation in White Cloud City first. He gained nothing from the Chu family's auction this time.

His trip to West Sea City yielded only two things:

First, he learned about the existence of gunpowder.

Second, he understood the key points to pay attention to when Breaking Through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and he also learned that Golden Core cultivators' Golden Cores are divided into High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade, especially the Elemental Will that Chu Qinglan mentioned.

The Spiritual Qi Cultivation Technique Wang Bin Cultivates is the Green Wood Art, which doesn't mention anything about Will.

Only then did he realize that his Cultivation Technique might be of too Low Rank to even touch the level of Elemental Will.

No wonder when he went to the Merit Hall to search for Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques last time, those powerful Wood Cultivation Techniques were introduced in such detail.

Take the 'Yi Wood Divine Art' as an example. This Cultivation Technique focuses on the refinement and application of Yi Wood Qi.

Yi Wood Qi belongs to Wood in the Five Elements and possesses the characteristic of endless vitality.

Cultivators, through specific Spell Cultivators and Mind-Cultivation Techniques, introduce external Yi Wood Qi into their bodies, continuously tempering their Meridians and Dantian. In this way, the Cultivator's Spiritual Qi will possess the vitality and resilience of Yi Wood.

Cultivating according to this Cultivation Technique, there should be an opportunity in the future to comprehend the endlessly vital Will of the Wood Attribute.

Looking at the 'Wither-Bloom Life-Death Art,' its core essence is based on the cycle of wood's wilting and blooming, life and death.

Cultivators need to repeatedly comprehend between life and death, deeply understanding the impermanence and cycles of life.

During the Cultivation process, the Cultivator's Spiritual Qi will exhibit a state of alternating wilting and blooming, sometimes full of vitality, sometimes restrained and dormant.

This unique Spiritual Qi fluctuation allows Cultivators to be unpredictable in battle, unleashing powerful strength when the enemy least expects it.

However, this Cultivation Technique has extremely high requirements for the Cultivator's state of mind. Only those whose state of mind reaches a certain Realm can truly master it.

Perhaps by cultivating this Cultivation Technique, at the Nascent Soul Soul Transformation stage, one might even directly touch the Law of life and death!

There is also the 'Spirit Wood Heart Sutra,' which primarily focuses on nourishing and strengthening the Cultivator's own Spiritual Root.

A Wood Attribute Spiritual Root is the Foundation for cultivating Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques, and the 'Spirit Wood Heart Sutra' can continuously stimulate the potential of the Spiritual Root, making it purer and stronger.

Cultivators only need to silently recite the Mind-Cultivation Technique incantation, guiding Spiritual Qi to circulate repeatedly within the body, continuously nourishing the Spiritual Root.

As the Spiritual Root is continuously strengthened, the Cultivator's comprehension and application of Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques will become more proficient, and the Cultivation speed will naturally increase greatly.

Not only that, but after the Spiritual Root becomes powerful, it can also attract more Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi to gather around the Cultivator, forming a virtuous cycle.

Although Wang Bin didn't quite understand the 'Spirit Wood Heart Sutra' from its introduction alone, he knew in his heart that this Cultivation Technique was definitely much stronger than the Green Wood Art he was cultivating.

For a moment, Wang Bin's thoughts were myriad.

He understood that the Chu family didn't take him seriously at all; they were merely fulfilling their promise.

According to the Cultivation plan the Chu family arranged for him, even if he successfully Broke Through to the Golden Core Realm, he would at most form a Middle Grade Golden Core, and most likely only a Low Grade Golden Core.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

But in an instant, he felt relieved.

The Chu family had told him when testing his Aptitude that his talent was mediocre, and even within the Chu family, he wasn't worth focusing on cultivating.

It was already good that they could keep their promise and Cultivate him to the Golden Core Stage.

However, another problem arose: should he switch Cultivation Techniques?

With his current financial status, exchanging for a Cultivation Technique at the Merit Hall was not difficult.

However, considering that this body was already over 130 years old, and coupled with his generally mediocre talent and Comprehension Ability, even if he switched Cultivation Techniques, he would likely find it difficult to comprehend those profound Wills.

After much thought, he felt that it was better to follow the Chu family's arrangements and Cultivate to the Golden Core Stage first, trying his best to form a Medium Grade Golden Core when he Broke Through.

He would first strive towards the Golden Core Stage. As for the future Nascent Soul Soul Transformation, he could only take it one step at a time.
