Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1064 - 539: Sack (Part 2)

Later on, through the Mystic Sect’s continuous research on the types of True Qi Meridian Dao Body, analysis, dissection, induction, and summary, it became possible to determine Taoist body aptitude just by a glance and taking the pulse, allowing for the direct selection of suitable disciples and teaching of corresponding cultivation techniques. Therefore, there was no longer a need to spend several years testing aptitude through punching.

"Oh..."

Chan Zi nodded with a half-understanding expression.

Chen Xuantian explained,

"Your aptitude is exceptionally good, rarely seen throughout history, so it’s naturally impossible to find a completely suitable cultivation technique from the ancient methods. Therefore, you can only be like the Three Venerables of old, laying a solid foundation yourself and then forging your own path.

You already possess skills taught by the Mohists, and besides, the Mohist skill swordsmanship is enough for you to use before the Golden Core stage. Now, as you simultaneously cultivate the Five Elements Fist, once you fully assimilate these five great treasures, you’ll naturally achieve a complete Foundation Establishment, laying a solid foundation. Later, when we go demon hunting in Li Jiang, as long as you get demon meat of the corresponding attribute, you can use this method to assimilate it, refine both qi bodies, and strengthen your Dao foundation.

Although the Five Elements Fist has no upper limit, it encompasses wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney — promoting comprehensive development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor aspects, leaving no weaknesses. There’s truly no higher lower limit than it. Regular practice turns ingested substances to personal power to the greatest extent, and after achieving a stable Golden Core, not even the true inheritors of the Mystic Sect can compete with you."

Chan Zi asked,

"Oh, can I teach this skill to everyone?"

Chen Xuantian nodded,

"It’s originally a basic cultivation technique, so feel free. But remember to instruct them to refine one fist well enough; there is no need for those with insufficient aptitude to forcefully practice all five fists."

"Oh, oh!"

After advising Chan Zi about the key points in cultivation, Chen Xuantian let him ponder on his own and went, carrying a sack, to find Yang Yunzhao, who had just returned from patrolling while gulping water.

"How’s the gathering of the Hunting Team personnel going?"

Yang Yunzhao shook his head,

"I’ve visited each of the Twelve Tigers’ hunting teams one by one. Most people are still filled with anger and resentment, although they are not seeking vengeance for the Nangong family, they feel deprived of the rights to hunt and resources and find us too sinister, thus unwilling to join."

Chen Xuantian chuckled,

"How about the beast cage?"

Yang Yunzhao wiped his sweat,

"There are some troubles there too. Despite seizing the Four Great Families’ warehouses, the Nangong family was burned down, and the harvest from our hunting team was poor to begin with. The market is filled with rumors, claiming that maintaining the Southern Border’s supply of demon beast materials for a year will be impossible.

Now, external business tycoons are scrambling for goods, local merchants and hunters are hoarding, and I’ve encountered many breach-of-contract disputes where goods aren’t delivered — it’s becoming a chaotic mess."

Chen Xuantian chuckled,

"Great, don’t worry, just keep them in check for three months, and only discuss when market prices rise twenty-fold."

Yang Yunzhao smiled wryly,

"Even if they rise fifty-fold, no goods are still no goods. I’m just afraid if this continues, those merchant groups won’t come to the beast cage for trade anymore."

Chen Xuantian smiled,

"You needn’t worry. The Nangong family never put high-grade materials on sale initially. With or without those items, trading at the beast cage isn’t affected. The rumors in the market were spread by me, and those merchants are simply shouting high prices, playing into the speculation with me.

Currently, with the Southern family’s warehouses in my hand and the large army suppressing rebels and bandits in the south, there won’t be any new supply in the near term. Stir things up for three months until local merchants skyrocket the prices, then when northern tycoons can’t stand it, they’ll entreat the General to intervene. We can then release the hoarded goods bit by bit, taking the tide.

We’ll make a small profit to supplement military funds, allowing hunters to understand the situation and realize they’ve been priced out by the Nangong family, opting for cooperation with us for mutual benefit. Meanwhile, this won’t affect the overall situation at Li Jiang."

"... Oh."

Yang Yunzhao seemed to give up thinking.

Chen Xuantian glanced at him,

"Stop nodding mindlessly. These General Mansion tasks are just casual actions, fooling around will do. How are your real pursuits?"

Upon reacting, Yang Yunzhao nodded,

"Oh, I’m practicing the cultivation techniques you taught me, and I can already project my soul out."

Chen Xuantian was pleased and pulled an eyeball out of the sack.

"Eat it."

Yang Yunzhao grimaced, gave up thinking, tossed the eyeball into his mouth, and swallowed, followed by gulping water.

Chen Xuantian calculated,

"You have family teachings, continuing with the Gang Fist will suffice for refining your muscles and bones. As for the Yang family’s Pear Blossom Spear, which is derived from the Immortal Venerable’s Six Harmonies Divine Spear, practicing for two hundred years will yield minor achievements, so there’s no need for me to comment.

However, your Innate Yin Yang Tongming Saint Body should not be wasted without expert guidance. Even the True Man of Mystic Sect faces the risk of heart demons during soul transformation and body seizing, risking mental splits.

But your divine soul can hold thousands of grievances and ghosts, your Divine Court realm is strong enough to accommodate the demon ancestor and demon god transformed for ten thousand years. Describing such aptitude for Primordial Spirit Method as insane is an understatement, practicing fist techniques is truly a waste.

So I still say, with your talent, cultivating the Blood God’s son’s great method is best, and assimilating the Blood-sucking Soul-devouring Technique, Devouring Ghosts and Souls, is even more efficient..."

"No, no, no!"

Yang Yunzhao shook his head like a drum,

"My family, back during the Western Expedition against the Divine Sect, lost countless people. I have a blood feud. If I practiced such rival techniques, even if I didn’t do it myself, my father would flay me!"

Chen Xuantian shrugged,

"Fine, then continue practicing my unique original, the YCM Primordial Spirit Technique. Come see me tonight."

Yang Yunzhao stiffened,

"To-night? Why at night? Can’t we do it openly and honestly?"

Chen Xuantian glanced at him,

"Are you seeking death by having souls leave the body during the day? Make sure to come when the moon is up, visit me by soul for training in the Different World."

Yang Yunzhao scratched his head, even if he didn’t understand what Chen Xuantian was saying, agreeing seemed safest.

"Oh."

After the explanations were over, Chen Xuantian stepped on his right foot with his left, soared into the sky, and floated up into the clouds like a balloon, bowing in the clouds,

"My apologies for making you two wait."

"No worries, no worries." "Brother, you’ve worked hard."

Thus, appearing was one tall and one short, two yellow-robed Daoists, who bowed and saluted Chen Xuantian. They were none other than Ye Rong and Wang Cheng, Chen Xuantian’s sworn brothers.

Without hesitation, Chen Xuantian handed the sack to them,

"The entire Daoist Collection of the Nangong family is here, the karma is cleared, feel free to accept it with a smile."

Golden Fish Head took a quick glance before passing it to Triangular Eyes,

"Good, good, brother’s efficient handle of affairs leaving no trace is truly rare talent."

Triangular Eyes also took a glance, used a hairpin stained with scalp as he dropped it into the sack, then returned it to Golden Fish Head,

"Good, good, brother’s foresight gives us no worries being planned behind it all. This belongs to the Zheng family."

Golden Fish Head chuckled, took a blood-stained storage ring, and tossed it in, returning the sack to Chen Xuantian,

"The Lu family, having calculated ahead, spread all their wealth, this is the Cui family’s share."

Chen Xuantian took it with a smile,

"Since you trust me, brothers, I won’t refuse. I’ll divide it into three shares..."

Triangular Eyes waved a dismissive hand,

"We’re family; let’s not divide this. We trust you; these items will be stored with you and taken when urgently needed."

Golden Fish Head also nodded,

"Right, we’re all out crossing the tribulation, no need to fuss over petty things. With mutual support and advance, isn’t that better?"

Chen Xuantian was overjoyed, bowed deeply,

"Five Lian, to earn the favor of both brothers, is filled with joy, please accept my bow!"

"Hahaha! Brother Five Lian stand quickly! Being your brother is a blessing to me, Ye Rong!"

"I, Wang Cheng, feel the same!"

"Hahaha!!"
