Chapter 8: Lingxu Dan
Take for example those spirit herbs that Xu Yang had brought back after walking outside for three days.
Placed tens of thousands of years ago, those few spirit herbs were essential ingredients for refining some high-level pills.
Once they appeared, they were treasures that would cause many cultivators to fight for them, but now they were growing like weeds on the side of the road.
This made Xu Yang very emotional, in this era, God finally stood on his side, it is also this special era, let Xu Yang see a glimmer of hope to break through the refining realm, he is stuck in the refining realm for 100,000 years, even if he has been refining 9,999 realms, but how it is still refining is not.
When Ling Qingshu returned to the main hall with some of the spirits that Xu Yang had asked for, she was slightly stunned, because the technique that she had just personally handed over to Xu Yang was suspended in mid-air.
Xu Yang was using his finger as a pen, sketching and drawing on the gongfu he had handed over.
He seemed to be modifying the technique he had practiced, how could this be possible.
This was the truest voice in Ling Qingshu’s heart.
The gong method she practiced was the most unique in the entire Tian Lan Sect, and it was said that only the Patriarch’s lineage was able to practice it.
This kind of gong method, when practiced, was extremely excellent in terms of foundation and battle power.
Her master had once said during his lifetime that this gong method was already a perfect gong method.
If it wasn’t for the lack of the several types of elixirs that the legend used to aid in cultivation, it was absolutely impossible for her master to only be at a Jindan cultivation level.
It was also impossible for her, Ling Qingshu, to still be at a mid Foundation Establishment cultivation level to this day.
”Elder Ancestor Xu, I’ve brought everything you asked for.”
After watching Xu Yang sketching for half a day, Ling Qingshu finally couldn’t help but open her mouth and interrupt Xu Yang’s movements.
Xu Yang glanced at the tray Ling Qingshu was carrying and signaled her to put it aside before continuing to put pen to paper on Ling Qingshu’s gong method.
”This gong method of yours was created by a genius of my Tian Lan Sect thirty thousand years ago.
It focuses most on the foundation aspect, and can be considered good in both the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment realms.”
The figure of a scholar emerged inside Xu Yang’s mind, and he still had a deep impression of this junior.
”However, this kind that you are practicing now is only the framework that he drew up at the very beginning.
Later on, he made several modifications to this gong method, making it much less restrictive in order for this to become a truly perfect gong method.”
With those words, Xu Yang closed his hand and returned the modified merit law to Ling Qingshu.
He himself walked over to the tray and picked up a few objects, sizing them up one by one.
Regarding the gong method that Ling Qingshu practiced, it was fate to say the least.
The founder of that gong method was the descendant of a descendant that Xu Yang had favored back then.
With this relationship in it, that person created the gong method to cultivate greatly and knew of Xu Yang’s existence.
So whenever he perfected and modified the gong method, he would send a copy to Xu Yang’s cave.
Xu Yang would occasionally look at it a few times and over time he remembered the technique more clearly.
After Ling Qingshu received the gongfu, she initially thought that after Xu Yang had changed it, it should be a piece of shit.
But after carefully looking down, Xu Yang modified the part, there are a lot of things that she cultivation to the present day is stuck in some things.
After seeing what Xu Yang had modified, for her it was a clearing of the clouds and a clearing of the moon.
The true qi in her body couldn’t help but follow the route of the new gong method.
In just a few breaths, Ling Qingshu’s aura changed drastically, her cultivation had clearly broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, sensing Ling Qingshu’s breakthrough, Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction.
To be able to have an understanding of what he had written so quickly, this Ling Qingshu’s talent was really good.
Ling Qingshu was still closing her eyes to feel the changes of her breakthrough, when Xu Yang waved his hand and a Dan furnace appeared in the middle of the hall.
This was the best furnace of the Tian Lan Sect before the ascension of an ascended person who was good at alchemy.
At the time of ascension, it was taken out to honor Xu Yang, the old ancestor.
Something like this had happened many times in the Tian Lan Sect.
Many ascended people had left treasures for Xu Yang, the old ancestor, before they ascended.
However, in 100,000 years, Xu Yang also has a lot of optimistic descendants, really did not send some treasures, to the present, can let Xu Yang stay in addition to some with special significance.
They are all rare treasures in the world, such as this Dan furnace in front of him.
Xu Yang casually grabbed two plants and threw them into the furnace, the tens of thousands of years in the furnace has not extinguished the fire.
At this moment a trace of it was detached.
The flames enveloped the spirit herbs that Xu Yang threw in, and a few breaths later the spirit herbs turned into a medicinal liquid.
Xu Yang carelessly threw out a few other kinds of spirit herbs, and the last thing he did was to throw in the Lingxu Grass.
It so happened that Ling Qingshu came to her senses and saw the scene of Xu Yang throwing the Lingxu Grass into the dan furnace.
For this kind of thing, Ling Qingshu was very surprised, Lingxu Grass she recognized, according to the canonical records as well as the alchemist’s dictation.
It had been established by the outside world that this kind of grass, although its name sounded rather esoteric.
But in reality, it is a weed that has no use whatsoever, and it is disliked when used to burn fires for cooking.
And now that Xu Yang was actually going to use this commonly recognized weed to make pills, how could Ling Qingshu not be surprised?
”Old Ancestor Xu, I wonder what kind of elixir you are refining?”
When Xu Yang heard Ling Qingshu’s question, he looked up at Ling Qingshu and realized that he had a puzzled look on his face.
He also had some guesses about Ling Qingshu’s question.
”Are you curious as to why I released the Lingxu Grass?”
”Old Ancestor Xu is wise.”
”There’s no harm in telling you, but you have to keep it a secret.”
Xu Yang laughed, not bothering with the scene inside the Dan Furnace, he took it upon himself to give Ling Qingshu, an explanation about the Lingxu Grass, “A hundred thousand years ago, a Dan formula appeared, which was exaggerated, able to raise one’s chances of ascension.”
Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Ling Qingshu exclaimed out then, “Enhance the chances of ascension?”
”That’s right!”
Xu Yang nodded.
”Cultivators who are able to cultivate to the point of transmigration are all those with superior talent and perseverance.
But those people don’t have much of a grasp in front of the barrier of ascension.
Because cultivation is already not easy, ascension through tribulation is even more difficult.”
Having said that, Ling Qingshu also roughly guessed that it must have been this kind of elixir that could raise the chances of ascension that caused the bloody storm.
Countless cultivators and great powers were fighting for their lives with people for the sake of an elixir.
”Then what does this elixir have to do with the Lingxu Grass?”
”This kind of elixir that can raise one’s chances of ascending.
It’s called the Lingxu Pill.
The main ingredient is the Lingxu Grass that you now consider to be a weed.”
Xu Yang reminisced, in fact, when he was young, Lingxu Grass was just as ubiquitous and worthless as it is now.
However, after the Lingxu Dan came out, finding a single Lingxu Grass in the world was much more difficult.
