Chapter 562 - 422: It’s Too Late for Regrets (Part 2)
If there really could be so many people, perhaps one or two reverse-fate figures might emerge.
Not to mention, the cultivation technique Zheng Yi brought out directly improved the realm of nearly all the disciples of Star Sea by one level.
Although they don’t yet know exactly how much the overall strength of Star Sea has increased.
But just the Golden Core stage cultivators, the number increased by at least a quarter.
That’s a powerful combat force.
Five Villages Mountain.
Zhou Yan, having just severely reprimanded his disciples, always felt the strange gazes from others on his way back from the training ground.
Moreover, he could hear many whispering voices.
But when he turned around to look, those people turned their heads away, seemingly busy with their own matters.
Of course, he knew what was going on, but no matter how angry he was, he had no solution.
If Zheng Yi were just a regular cultivator, no one would say anything.
But who would have thought this guy would be so reverse-fate?
To enable a major sect’s overall strength to improve significantly at once.
If Five Villages Mountain had initially recruited Zheng Yi, these benefits wouldn’t have easily been handed to Star Sea.
Wenxian Temple.
Zui Jiu clicked his tongue in wonder: "This kid can stir up a big commotion no matter where he goes. I really want to see what earth-shattering things he’ll do once he reaches the Divinity Transformation Enlightenment Dao realm someday."
The old Daoist looked regretful: "If I had known earlier, we should have kept Zheng Xiaoyou."
Zui Jiu sneered at his words: "Star Sea is all female cultivators, what would you use to keep him? Just our boring female disciples, that kid wouldn’t be interested."
The old Daoist was stunned.
Zui Jiu took a big gulp of wine: "Brother, didn’t you see? This kid is walking the path of dual cultivation."
"So no matter how you look at it, going to Star Sea is better than staying at Wenxian Temple. I don’t want that brat to stay and harm our female disciples."
The old Daoist seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent.
Zui Jiu laughed heartily: "Brother, rest assured, with that kid’s temperament, he won’t forget us."
"Think about it, with his ability, shedding those juniors and escaping alone would be a piece of cake."
"But he not only didn’t do that, he showed all his skills, leading those juniors to evade the pursuit of the Nether Spirit Race for so long."
"Wenxian Temple saved that kid’s life, after all, so he surely won’t forget us."
Zui Jiu was drunkenly speaking; naturally, the old Daoist wouldn’t believe him. Probably even Zui Jiu himself wouldn’t remember what he just said.
But they didn’t know.
Right now, Zheng Yi is actually studying a new cultivation technique.
He hasn’t finished reviewing all the cultivation techniques created by these Golden Core cultivators. But upon seeing a Daoist cultivation technique, Zheng Yi suddenly felt stirred.
Although he’s not very familiar with the Daoist School, he has some understanding.
This cultivation technique mainly cultivates an innate spiritual qi.
Unfortunately, this cultivator started on the wrong path.
It seems the cultivators of the Canglan Realm aren’t very familiar with innate spiritual qi.
This Golden Core cultivator who created the technique seemed to vaguely notice something and wanted to cultivate based on it.
Yet during cultivation, this guy followed the old path of all Canglan Realm cultivators.
To balance yin and yang, he still chose to dual cultivate with others.
In such a situation, how could he maintain his innate spiritual qi?
It is precisely because of this that although he found a relatively correct path, cultivation was extremely slow.
Often, after painstakingly cultivating a trace of innate spiritual qi, a single dual cultivation would consume it entirely.
His cultivation stagnated, while the female cultivators who cultivated with him progressed rapidly.
Just by reading the cultivation insights of this technique, Zheng Yi can imagine the scene when this guy was cultivating.
This is simply a selfless saint-like cultivator who benefits others.
Although this guy is quite miserable, being a Golden Core stage cultivator, the technique he created still has many merits.
Out of curiosity, Zheng Yi played around and, combining what he had seen before about techniques involving innate spiritual qi and his own understanding, quickly created a new technique.
He tried cultivating it himself, and the effects were quite good.
However, Zheng Yi had no intention of cultivating it himself.
After all, with the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror in hand, cultivating innate spiritual qi is meaningless.
Just like the cultivator who created the technique, it’s essentially meant for others to practice.
Though he couldn’t practice it, Zheng Yi decided to hand this technique over to Wenxian Temple.
No matter the reason, Zui Jiu saved him, and it’s a fact. Moreover, in the end, to resist the Divinity Transformation experts, Wenxian Temple suffered greatly.
This favor, Zheng Yi always remembers.
Not breaking the child’s body while cultivating is a condition that almost no other sect can meet.
But for Wenxian Temple, it shouldn’t be a problem, since they don’t major in dual cultivation, it also counts as repaying their kindness.
He took up pen and paper, writing smoothly.
The number of words wasn’t large, yet he captured the essence of the technique.
When naming it, Zheng Yi chuckled and said, "Sorry, Hero Jin, let me borrow your wool one more time."
With the stroke of the pen, he left behind four characters: "Innate True Technique."
The fact that Zheng Yi brought out a technique couldn’t be hidden from the elders of Star Sea.
Everyone put down what they were doing and rushed to the Scripture Pavilion.
"It’s not that I’m hiding anything, it’s just that this technique isn’t suitable for your cultivation."
"While researching cultivation techniques, I accidentally saw a Daoist technique. Remembering the lifesaving grace from Zui Jiu at Wenxian Temple, I’ve never had a suitable opportunity to repay them, so I wrote down the Daoist technique created by Elder Huang Shang."
To prevent misunderstandings, Zheng Yi generously showed them part of the heart method mantra.
Lin Junrong and the others didn’t distrust Zheng Yi, they just weren’t reconciled.
After all, the benefits brought to Star Sea by the previous two cultivation techniques were simply incalculable.
Everyone looked at the heart method content written at the forefront.
[Man follows earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Dao, Dao follows nature...]
They were all Divinity Transformation stage experts, just by looking at this heart method mantra they knew, it was absolutely unsuitable for their cultivation.
They couldn’t help but feel utterly disappointed.
Zheng Yi put away "Innate True Technique" and said, "This technique is meant to be given to the elder Zui Jiu, I won’t detail it for everyone."
Though the elders felt immense disappointment, they didn’t say much more.
"Not at all, it’s our fault for delaying Elder Zheng, we hope Elder Zheng won’t take offense."
"We were just curious, and didn’t mean anything else, Elder Zheng, please don’t think too much of it."
The elders all apologized to Zheng Yi and left the Scripture Pavilion.
Wang Haiwong savored the phrase Dao follows nature: "Although it’s a Daoist technique, it may still have uses for other cultivators."
Upon hearing him, Lin Junrong accelerated to catch up: "Elder Wang, no matter if Elder Zheng’s technique is suitable for us, we absolutely mustn’t have any improper thoughts."
"If due to someone’s selfish desires we anger Zheng Yi, the Sect Leader will be the first not to spare him."
Wang Haiwong waved his hand repeatedly: "I have no such intention."
"As long as Elder Zheng remains at Star Sea, he might present even more techniques in the future. I’m not stupid; how could I do such a thing as picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon?"
Lin Junrong stared sharply at Wang Haiwong for a long time, finding his expression genuinely sincere, not falsified, finally relaxed.
"Elder Wang, don’t blame me for being cautious, Zheng Yi is exceptionally vital to Star Sea, I don’t want any problems to arise."
Wang Haiwong nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, I think so too."
"Especially now, more and more ill-intentioned people are emerging. Although Elder Zheng is highly resourceful, his strength is still somewhat lacking, we must be more vigilant."
Now it was Lin Junrong’s turn to be shocked: "Elder Wang, do you mean there are people daring to harm Star Sea?"
Wang Haiwong sighed helplessly: "As long as there are enough benefits, those people will do anything."
"I think, within at most one or two days, someone might make a move."
"No! Not even one or two days, they might act tonight."
