Chapter 558 - 420: Nameless Town (Part 2)
Thinking of this, Wenn Ziyan immediately sat cross-legged and began to study the two cultivation techniques that Zheng Yi had taken out more carefully.
While Wenn Ziyan was comprehending the Dao, all of Zheng Yi’s effort was also fully devoted to the research of the cultivation techniques created for the Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Because he was so engrossed in his research, Zheng Yi often forgot about hunger, spending two to three days in the Library Pavilion at a time.
Both the elders and the disciples had become accustomed to his unusual behavior.
Ordinary cultivators usually borrowed a book and slowly comprehended it over time.
After all, the information contained in each cultivation technique is immense, and it’s not something that can be easily remembered by just flipping through.
Zheng Yi, unlike them, didn’t need to read each word one by one.
As long as he understood the fundamental idea behind the creation of a cultivation technique, he could roughly deduce the content of the secret manual. Of course, specific details would certainly differ, but the overall cultivation direction wouldn’t deviate by much.
This is why Zheng Yi’s speed in viewing Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques kept increasing.
Later on, it was no slower than when he was browsing through the Crystal Stage cultivation techniques.
If it wasn’t for the sheer number of Golden Core Stage cultivation techniques, Zheng Yi might have finished reading them all long ago.
As time went on, the elders started visiting more frequently.
"Elder Fengg, has anything special happened today?" Wang Haiwong pretended to take a cultivation technique while subtly observing Zheng Yi’s actions.
He didn’t even dare to look directly at Zheng Yi, instead casually sweeping his gaze over him.
The purpose was, of course, to avoid his glance from disturbing Zheng Yi. None of the elders wanted to affect Zheng Yi at this moment.
Fengg Xia rolled her eyes at him: "Don’t you guys have anything to do? You can’t wait to come over here hundreds of times a day."
Wang Haiwong retorted angrily: "And you talk about me, don’t think I don’t know, you come here to see Elder Zheng eight hundred times a day."
The reason the elders frequently came regarding Zheng Yi was for only one purpose.
Although they also felt it was unlikely for Zheng Yi to produce a new cultivation technique after already presenting two outstanding ones,
everyone still held onto that faint hope in their hearts.
What if?
What if, after reading the cultivation techniques in the Star Sea Scripture Pavilion, Elder Zheng gets inspired and comes up with another unbelievably powerful cultivation technique?
If they happened to be nearby, wouldn’t they get a sneak peek?
Even if Zheng Yi brought out such a technique, all of them could cultivate it.
But for cultivators, the pursuit of better techniques is an instinct etched in their bones, even if it’s just a quick glance in advance.
Unfortunately, despite their many visits, Zheng Yi was still poring over the cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.
No signs of him producing a new cultivation technique.
The soft sound of pages turning reached Fengg Xia and Wang Haiwong’s ears.
They immediately signaled each other to be quiet and left the room together.
After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, they both let out a long sigh of relief.
Given Zheng Yi’s focus on reading, even if they were only exchanging a few words nearby, unless they directly threatened Zheng Yi’s safety, he might not even notice.
Still, no one dared to disturb him.
They feared upsetting him, resulting in him not presenting any more cultivation techniques.
"How are things recently?" Fengg Xia, who usually stayed in the Scripture Pavilion, wasn’t well-informed about other affairs in the sect.
Wang Haiwong, with excitement mixed with worry, said: "The cultivation techniques Elder Zheng presented are even better than we imagined."
"Originally, we thought these techniques would be comparatively excellent in various aspects but relatively unremarkable."
"But it turns out, this Nine Yin Scripture is not only useful for laying foundations but also has great effects on cultivation. It can almost perfectly integrate with any magic..."
Once Wang Haiwong started talking about this, he couldn’t stop himself, speaking endlessly.
His exaggerated description even made Fengg Xia a bit incredulous.
"Can it really be that good?" She, too, had practiced the Nine Yin Scripture and indeed found it to be an exceptionally powerful technique.
But no matter how impressive, it shouldn’t be to the extent Wang Haiwong described, right?
After all, the Nine Yin Scripture is primarily for laying the foundation for those disciples entering Qi Refining.
"You’ve been neglecting everything lately." Wang Haiwong sighed: "In just a few days, a hundred and ten people have already broken through realms. The Tribulation Platform is now crowded, and many disciples have to go elsewhere to face their tribulations."
Hearing this, Fengg Xia unintentionally gasped: "That many?"
Wang Haiwong nodded heavily.
Thinking back to a few days ago when they earnestly discussed whether to let all the disciples of the Star Sea learn the two techniques by Zheng Yi.
Now, it’s not even a matter worth discussing.
After the joy had passed, a trace of worry appeared on Wang Haiwong’s face: "However, it’s likely that this matter can’t be kept secret any longer."
"Recently we’ve noticed quite a few sneaky cultivators outside the sect."
"And..." Wang Haiwong snorted disdainfully, "those little ones in front of the sect are getting more restless."
Mention of these individuals caused a change in Fengg Xia’s expression: "We must make sure to safeguard Elder Zheng’s two cultivation techniques and prevent them from leaking out."
Wang Haiwong’s eyebrows shot up: "Don’t worry, we’ve anticipated this and already made preparations."
"If anyone dares to..." Even Fengg Xia shivered at that righteous killing intent.
As they said, the news about the Star Sea having acquired a brand-new cultivation technique had already become widely known.
In the Cultivation Realm, other things might spread slowly,
but any news related to cultivation resources almost never stays confidential.
The gate of Star Sea, Nameless Town.
This place was originally just an inn set up by the Star Sea to host visiting disciples from various other sects.
As a sect with many female cultivators, it naturally attracted many male cultivators seeking matrimony.
Among them, some mutually liked each other and naturally became Daoist Companions.
However, more could only be considered unrequited love. These male cultivators had deep affection for the Star Sea’s female cultivators, but those women often didn’t have any special feelings towards them.
Of course, there were also quite a few sycophants among the female disciples of the Star Sea.
If those were merely ordinary loose cultivators, driving them away wouldn’t be problematic. The issue was, many were disciples of other major sects.
Making things too tense wouldn’t benefit the Star Sea either.
Moreover, there was another layer of meaning behind it.
These cultivators could also serve as another force for the Star Sea.
If something happened in the Star Sea, many would be willing to rally and even fight on its behalf.
These people remained and gathered over time, eventually growing into something akin to a small town.
Since the Star Sea never named the town, everyone simply called it Nameless Town.
Currently, in Nameless Town, rumors about the Star Sea acquiring new cultivation techniques spread everywhere.
"What do you think, what is the origin of the cultivation technique obtained by the Star Sea? Could it be a technique for Divinity Transformation Stage or even Enlightenment Stage cultivators?"
"You’re quite uninformed, aren’t you? I heard the technique is for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment."
"Stupidity should have its limits, right? If it’s just a Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment technique, how could it spread so widely?"
