Chapter 168: After Modification: Chapter 167 Immortal Technique Gathering (Request for Subscription and Monthly Tickets) To the entire Wuu Kingdom, Wujiang County was just a small place. But even in such a small place, there emerged some outstanding individuals. Zhao Junwu, was the most renowned figure in Wujiang County over the past century. As the General of Wuu Kingdom, he attained the rank of second-grade, a reputation earned through genuine battles. Thus, this General Zhao Junwu was posthumously honored by the Court as General Fengyun, allowing a temple to be established in Wujiang County, his hometown, for future generations to worship and remember him. Now, it had been more than thirty years since the establishment of General Temple. After all, with time passed, General Temple was not as accepted by the common people as traditional Guanyin Temple or Earth God Temple, and thus began to decline year after year. Early this morning, Bai Ziyue left home and arrived at General Temple. Perhaps due to its historical impact, although the temple’s former grand worship scene was no longer as prosperous, the place still appeared rather spacious. As he entered the temple, the image of General Zhao Junwu, with its unparalleled might, invoked a sense of reverence in Bai Ziyue’s heart. At the same time, Bai Ziyue immediately recognized that the image of the general was indeed the same as the one in the ruined temple in Qinghe Town. Apparently, General Temple had indeed declined significantly, as there was no one managing it in Qinghe Town anymore. Bai Ziyue spent over a dozen coins to buy a few sticks of incense from the temple child, lit and worshipped several times, then looked at the temple child and said, "Do you know if your temple priest is here?" "Who are you? Why are you looking for Master?" The temple child asked hesitantly. "I was introduced by Zhou Xiangui. Here’s his letter of introduction." Bai Ziyue said, handing a letter to the temple child. About Zhou Xiangui, it was the real name of the Elder Scholar. A few minutes later, Bai Ziyue was led by the temple child to the back courtyard of General Temple. Compared to the glorious front hall of General Temple, the back courtyard seemed somewhat humble, with just a small pavilion, a few stone stools, and then a few low houses in the distance. At this moment, in that small pavilion, an elder dressed in a pale blue long robe was quietly brewing tea. "Speak, what matter is it?" Suddenly, the elder raised his head, asking in a calm tone. However, his words were calm, but in Bai Ziyue’s perception, at the moment of raising his head, the elder’s eyes immediately emitted a faint glimmer, as if he wanted to see through Bai Ziyue entirely. Spiritual eye technique! Xie Gucang was so overtly performing the spiritual eye technique before him without any concealment. "Hm?" Soon after, Xie Gucang made a sound of surprise, seeming somewhat puzzled. "Isn’t it a bit rude for a senior to act like this?" Bai Ziyue’s expression changed; he frowned and said. "Rude? Perhaps. But when a stranger practicing Immortal Cultivation Technique suddenly shows up, it’s not excessive for me to be cautious. Instead, it’s your technique for concealing your aura, which seems to be a Martial Artist’s method, that can completely lock away your Spiritual Power aura, leaving me rather surprised." Xie Gucang indifferently said a sentence, then remarked with slight admiration. "Speak, what is the matter? Considering it’s for my junior whom I haven’t seen for over a decade, I can first listen." Without inviting Bai Ziyue to sit, Xie Gucang picked up a cup of tea, took a light sip, and said. "Fortunately, through a stroke of luck, I obtained a copy of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, thus embarking on the path of Immortal Cultivation. Yet what I got was only the upper part of the Immortal Cultivation Technique, so I wanted to ask senior if you know where I can find the lower part of the Immortal Cultivation Technique. Moreover, I also wish to ask senior whether, in my case, it is possible to switch to cultivating other Immortal Cultivation Techniques?" Bai Ziyue did not mind, having already learned from the Elder Scholar that his senior brother’s character was peculiar, and quickly inquired. "The Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique seems to be the fundamental technique passed down by the major Immortal Dao sect, Sunrise Daoist Sect. Although it’s fundamental, it is still far more advanced than ordinary Immortal Techniques. Your ability to acquire this technique and achieve success in cultivation is indeed quite fortunate. However, Immortal Cultivation Techniques are the foundation of cultivation, and where could they be easily obtained? Even if someone possesses the lower part of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, it’s rare they would exchange it with you. Therefore, I advise you not to hold too much hope. As for specializing in other Immortal Techniques, it is naturally possible. But can you bear to abandon years of cultivation and start over from scratch?" Saying this, Xie Gucang glanced at Bai Ziyue with a smile that seemed both mocking and intriguing. "So, senior has no means as well?" Bai Ziyue’s heart sank. *It was also the problem he had been worrying about. If he found no value even from Xie Gucang, his hope of obtaining Immortal Techniques would be even more slim.* "Not necessarily." Xie Gucang shook his head, took another sip of tea, and said, "Sunrise Daoist Sect is located beyond Wuu Kingdom, beyond Yunmiao Mountain, Sunrise Peak. Attempting to reach Sunrise Daoist Sect for further techniques is almost impossible, not mentioning the dangers along the way, but the border of the warring states alone is enough to deter anyone." "However, since you were able to acquire the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, it naturally means that, within this Wuu Kingdom, and even near Wujiang County, there is someone practicing this cultivation technique." "Coincidentally, I know that within the County Government Court, there is someone practicing this very Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique." "Who?" Bai Ziyue’s once calm state of mind had immediately surged with intense waves. "The new Chief Clerk, Li Xun. I remember that during the last Immortal Technique Gathering, he introduced his cultivation technique. Besides, it’s said that within the Celestial Spirit County, there is also an Immortal Cultivation Clan whose fundamental practice is this Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique. Apparently, the patriarch of the family was originally a formal disciple of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, but realizing he could no longer advance in his progress, he returned to Celestial Spirit County to personally oversee his family." Xie Gucang said leisurely. "Li Xun? Immortal Technique Gathering? Immortal Cultivation Family? Which family? The Lin Family?" Bai Ziyue felt a wave of excitement in his heart and hurriedly asked. Upon hearing Li Xun’s name, Bai Ziyue felt a sudden realization. *Wasn’t the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique he obtained exactly from Li Xun’s brother, Li Xu?* *It was quite normal for Li Xun to possess this Immortal Cultivation Method.* *However, due to the difficulty of the Immortal Technique and since Li Xun had never shown any technique, it never occurred to him to think in this direction.* At the same time, the Immortal Technique Gathering mentioned by Xie Gucang also piqued his interest greatly. *Of course, what was most important was the matter of the Immortal Technique. If he couldn’t obtain the second volume of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique from Li Xun, he would have to consider targeting that so-called Immortal Cultivation Family.* *But thinking about it, an Immortal Cultivation Family must be extremely powerful, and he felt somewhat apprehensive.* "The Immortal Technique Gathering is actually a local gathering of people from Wujiang County practicing the Immortal Cultivation Method, where they exchange and interact. The main purpose is to exchange information or trade Immortal Dao Materials with each other as needed. Sometimes it is organized every ten days to half a month, and sometimes once every one or two months. It’s usually organized by the independent cultivator elder, Elder Wu, from Wujiang County, and the time and place are not fixed. As for that Immortal Cultivation Family, it’s not the Lin Family but the Di Family. The Di Family of Immortal Cultivation." As he spoke, Xie Gucang couldn’t help but add, "Because of the patriarch’s return, the Di Family has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and the resources they occupy have increased significantly. In recent disputes between a gang and a sect within Wujiang County, one cannot rule out the shadows of the Di Family." "What is the relationship between the Di Family and the Lin Family?" Bai Ziyue knew that behind the Sunburst Gang stood the Lin Family, and if the Di Family also played a role in the conflict between the Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect, then it could only be that they supported the Nine Seals Sect. After all, being concerned with the faction he belonged to, he naturally had to ask. "The Immortal Technique is difficult, seeking the path to immortality is even harder. Those who practice the Immortal Cultivation Method require resources to grow and cultivate. Where do the resources come from? Places rich in Spiritual Qi, spirit fields, spiritual springs, spirit mountains... they are all limited, and their annual yield has limits, naturally leading to competition. Both major Immortal Cultivation Clans located in Celestial Spirit County need resources to develop and grow, so their relationship is self-evident. Wujiang County is a subsidiary county of Celestial Spirit County and naturally also a place for the two forces to contend with each other." Xie Gucang chuckled lightly and said. "Thank you, Elder, for clarifying." Only then did Bai Ziyue understand clearly. *Compared to the two major Immortal Cultivation Clans, both the Sunburst Gang and the Nine Seals Sect were far weaker, and naturally, they could only become pawns. The fierce competition was not only a dispute of interest between the gang and the sect but also a struggle between the two major Immortal Cultivation Clans.* "By the way, when is the next Immortal Technique Gathering going to take place? I wonder if Elder could act as a sponsor to bring me along?" Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but request as he thought about it. *Whether in practicing Martial Arts or the Immortal Technique, working behind closed doors was difficult to make any progress.* *Although he had barely obtained some information about the follow-up cultivation technique of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, he still needed to carefully consider his plans.* *And this Immortal Technique Gathering, where he would interact with other practitioners of the Immortal Cultivation Method, was an opportunity for him as a Loose Cultivator.* *It was an opportunity to connect with others who practice the Immortal Cultivation Method, exchange what he had for what he needed, and even enhance his own strength and methods.* *After all, apart from the Immortal Cultivation Method, his other Immortal Technique skills were also sorely lacking.* "It’s not impossible if you’re asking me as a favor to my junior brother; I’m willing to act as your sponsor. However, whether you can earn the approval of the independent cultivator elder, Elder Wu, will depend on your own ability. Otherwise, even if you get in this time, you might not be able to join next time. Oh, by the way, there will be transactions happening there, so you might want to prepare more, like Spirit Stones, talismans, or other items of interest to practitioners of the Immortal Cultivation Method. As for money and silver taels, there’s no need to bring them. All participants are people of great wealth, and almost none have any interest in such yellow-white possessions." "Thank you, Elder, for your guidance!" Bai Ziyue said spiritedly.
