Gurgle, gurgle. The bubbling and rolling red oil hot pot, filled with a variety of ingredients, filled the entire cave with a delicious aroma.
“This winged fire snake meat is indeed delicious.” Jiang Xiaobai swished a piece in the oil dish, took a bite of the steaming meat, and her face was filled with happiness.
Today, she was dressed in a deep green tassel short skirt paired with long pants, which accentuated her fair skin and long legs. She was enjoying her meal so much that she subconsciously wanted to curl up one leg and hug it, but immediately remembered Chu Liang sitting next to her and quickly put it down.
“Yes, my master once said that the winged fire snake meat is full of spirituality and can boost one’s vitality. It’s an excellent ingredient.” Chu Liang said with a smile.
“I quickly invited my senior sister to come and taste it.” The senior sister in front of him, once she started eating, had completely lost the demeanor of Jiang the fairy, and immediately reverted back to the carefree “Jiang Xiaobai”. Yesterday, he carried a large winged fire snake back to Silver Sword Peak, and today he invited Jiang Xiaobai to taste it first thing.
“Not bad.” Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes were filled with laughter.
“You still remember your senior sister when something good happens. It’s worth teaching you these divine powers for so long.”
“Of course.” Chu Liang nodded seriously.
“I remember all the kindness my senior sister has shown me and will never forget it. Not only the meat of the fifth realm spirit beast, but when I become stronger in the future, I will also get the meat of the sixth and seventh realm for my senior sister to eat.”
“Just meat?” Jiang Xiaobai laughed again.
“If senior sister wants to eat something else, of course, there is. I will pick various spiritual plants and heavenly treasures, so we can have a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.” Chu Liang said casually.
“So in your eyes, all I know is eating?” Jiang Xiaobai felt something was wrong.
“Hehe.” Chu Liang laughed twice, then changed the subject: “Has senior sister been researching the topic of the Mountain God Festival these days? Any progress?”
“Why? Spying on the enemy?” Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes flickered.
“Just asking.” Chu Liang said: “Your team is the most promising one on Shu Mountain, so I can’t help but be curious about your progress.”
“But it doesn’t matter if I tell you, this time’s topic is quite tricky, and we don’t have any clues either.” Jiang Xiaobai said.
Not only her, but basically all the teams participating this time have no clues. On the day the topic was received, there was a wail all over Shu Mountain.
The topic of this Mountain God Festival is to find the “White Jade Liuli Cup of the Elder Swordbearer”, which is not much different from previous years. It’s just that an elder puts out a treasure, then gives a general location, and through exploration, the treasure is found. But the clue given this time is somewhat elusive.
“Half of December, the top of the valley mountain. Right of the Jinlin River, the mountain god appears.” Chu Liang muttered.
“Yes.” Jiang Xiaobai said:
“Now it’s just the beginning of summer, and the peak of Shu Mountain will have ended by December. Where can we find the treasure then? As for this Jinlin River, no one has found where it is now.” The problems she mentioned probably represent all the disciples participating this time. The direction of this time and place is all incomprehensible. Chu Liang has been busy with other things recently and hasn’t had time to ponder this topic. Now thinking about it, he finds it quite interesting.
“Forget it, don’t think about it.” Jiang Xiaobai waved her hand and suddenly said: “After dinner, I’ll teach you the Inch Reduction Technique.”
“Ah?” Chu Liang was overjoyed, “A pot of snake meat hot pot in exchange for a fairy technique, it’s too valuable.”
“I said before that I would teach you fairy techniques when you reach the equivalent of the Golden Core stage. I just didn’t expect it to come so soon.” Jiang Xiaobai said, with a smirk at the corner of her mouth, “I’ll teach you, but whether you can learn it or not is up to you.”
“Okay!” Chu Liang agreed. After returning to Silver Sword Peak, Chu Liang had been thinking about the “Inch Reduction Technique”. This was the first time he had a completely incomprehensible feeling about a divine power.
It’s not because it’s too obscure and difficult to understand, but because the fairy technique contains many understandings of the “Dao”, which is too advanced for him at the moment. The seventh realm is the realm of questioning the Dao, and usually, the sixth realm will begin to touch the levels of the “Dao”. For this reason, those who can comprehend fairy techniques in the fourth realm are considered geniuses.
And the “Inch Reduction Technique” that Jiang Xiaobai taught him, which requires the understanding of the “Dao of No Distance”, lies in space. Before practicing this fairy technique, one needs to first comprehend the profound Dao of space, which is indeed a bit difficult for Chu Liang.
After listening to Jiang Xiaobai’s explanation, he was still in a fog. Seeing him show a confused expression for the first time, Jiang Xiaobai also showed a smile.
Finally, on the matter of learning divine powers, she saw him take a hit. But thinking about how she spent half a year practicing the Inch Reduction Technique, she couldn’t be too happy too soon.
She told Chu Liang to go back and slowly ponder, and when he could perceive the first strand of Dao rhyme from the void, he would be considered to have entered the room.
But the transition from zero to one is always the hardest, and no one knows how long it will take to perceive this first strand of Dao rhyme.It is often said that the earthly realm is for cultivating resources, while the heavenly realm is for understanding the Dao. Chu Liang, who has just stepped into the fourth realm and is trying to comprehend the Dao, is like a novice trying to touch the threshold of the heavenly realm, which is naturally difficult.
But he was not in a hurry. It would be great if he could master a celestial technique, but there was no need to rush, as it might affect his state of mind.
After a fruitless attempt at comprehension, he sank his consciousness into the white tower space, preparing to dual cultivate with the Golden Elixir puppet to enhance his basic strength.
Looking at the two big-headed dolls sitting side by side, he suddenly felt that his cultivation time was too short. Ever since he had them, he rarely operated the Heavenly Cycle himself.
Although dual cultivation progressed extremely quickly, the gains were not substantial due to the short cultivation time.
If he were to spend a large amount of time cultivating every day, it would be somewhat difficult. Now that he was mastering more and more divine techniques and often busy with affairs, he needed to allocate time for them.
Chu Liang wished someone could dual cultivate for him. Eh? He looked at the two big-headed dolls and suddenly fell into thought.
If the two puppets were to dual cultivate, would it work? Once the thought occurred to him, he couldn’t stop. The operation of the big-headed dolls followed a fixed pattern. If this pattern was dual cultivation, would they continue?
Very likely! But it was unrealistic to expect the two of them to actively include each other in the Heavenly Cycle. He would need to guide them first.
This meant he would have to… triple cultivate. In history, there were cultivators who had tried the more exciting “multi-person cultivation” than dual cultivation, but it was very difficult to succeed. Because everyone’s true qi was different, even if several people practiced the same technique, their true qi was still mixed and chaotic.
It was already extremely difficult for two people to run their techniques simultaneously and smoothly. Once another person entered the Heavenly Cycle, the difficulty increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.
The final result was that all of them were likely to lose control. But this biggest difficulty was the easiest to solve for Chu Liang.
Because the true qi generated by the big-headed dolls was exactly the same as his! There was no rejection between the three, which was impossible in real people. He could easily include another big-headed doll in the Heavenly Cycle.
He decided to do it. He moved the two big-headed dolls together, letting them get close. Then he sat on the side, with one hand on the shoulder of each puppet.
With a sigh, his true qi roared into operation, first incorporating the Golden Elixir puppet into the Heavenly Cycle. The two of them started to operate, and the vortex expanded.
After it stabilized, he also included the big-headed doll in the Heavenly Cycle. The vortex suddenly expanded dramatically! Boom—triple cultivation! This intense feeling far exceeded that of dual cultivation, making Chu Liang, who was already accustomed to high-speed cultivation, feel a tremor!
He could even hear the rumbling sound of true qi rushing like a river in his body. His cultivation level skyrocketed! After a while, Chu Liang abruptly withdrew his true qi, leaving the Heavenly Cycle. Due to inertia, the Golden Elixir puppet and the Heavenly Cycle puppet continued to operate in dual cultivation mode.
Success! As expected, the big-headed dolls continued to operate according to the previous pattern. In this way, Chu Liang’s cultivation speed would greatly increase again.
Recently, it was like speeding up every three days. Chu Liang smiled contentedly, and then savored the multi-person cultivation just now.
It was too thrilling.
