Of course. even if thev had doubts, no one could iust directlv ask.

After all, Lu Yuan was a top-notch master, as well as a lord who held tens of thousands of mighty soldiers. With such status, it was already good enough that he was willing to reveal his secrets.

You really shouldn’t be so tactless to question him further.

What are you trying to do, acting as if he has no temper?

Unlike the thoughts of these aristocratic families, Ziyun and other True Persons couldn’t help but exchange glances, doubt flashing in their eyes after hearing Lu Yuan’s words.

“Qingyu Taoist?” True Person Zhen Xuan frowned upon hearing this name, thought for a while but still had no impression, so he turned his head and asked the other True Persons: “I have no impression of this person, have any of you heard of him?”

The other True Persons also thought for a while and shook their heads one after another.

Jinyun, the True Person from Feishuang Tao, furrowed his brows and said, “To refine a celestial elixir that can help purify Inner Strength and enhance Cultivation, a large amount of Divine Blood Variant must be used, along with the Essence of the sun and the moon, and refined with Celestial spirit qi. Only then can it be successful.

Even our various Daoist Paths might have to exhaust our treasuries to afford such an expenditure.

This Qingyu Taoist being able to gather all these heavenly treasures cannot be an ordinary cultivator without background. He must be a senior from some Daoist Path.

However, if he is a senior from a Daoist Path, we would have definitely heard of his name.

Therefore, I think that this Qingyu Taoist might be an alias used by a senior when they were traveling in the world.”

As Jinyun said this, his eyes glanced at Lu Yuan, and his gaze was somewhat off.

Other True Persons naturally knew why he was acting like this. The reason was already clear – Jinyun simply didn’t accept Lu Yuan’s statement, feeling that the latter was deceiving everyone.

The so-called guess of a senior using an alias was just a reason for guessing without directly pointing out the truth.

However, Anqiu, the True Person from Dan Ding Path, argued at this moment: “In today’s world, it is indeed difficult to refine a pot of celestial elixirs without being from a larger Daoist lineage.

But in the past, let alone during the ancient times, even just a few hundred years ago, gathering materials to refine celestial elixirs was much simpler than it is now.

Perhaps this Qingyu Taoist was from five or six hundred years ago, or even seven or eight hundred years ago?

At that time, refining celestial elixirs was not difficult for our respective Daoist Paths, was it?

Even for a loose cultivator, if their Cultivation truly reached a profound level, collecting all the materials wouldn’t be impossible.

As for those who can refine celestial elixirs, storing them with special methods for several hundred years is also not difficult.

And even if it was five or six hundred years ago, it would be normal not to have heard of this person due to the loss of various historical records.”

When Anqiu True Person said this, the expressions of the other True Persons indeed showed agreement.

A few hundred years ago, the resources for Cultivation in the Nine Provinces were indeed much more abundant than they are now. Even the last True Person to ascend in the Nine Provinces was only eight hundred years ago.

It’s indeed a high probability that celestial elixirs have been passed down since then.

Even Jinyun True Person, after hesitating for a moment, nodded and said,

“‘l’nere IS sucn a poss1D111ty.”

“Alright.”

Seeing the discussion reaching this point, True Person Zhen Xuan finally spoke up and stopped everyone from continuing: “What Taoist Anqiu said is actually not wrong. It’s not impossible for things from our ancestors to be left behind for hundreds of years. Haven’t there been several examples in the past hundred years?

Moreover, Taoist Lu has already told us about his adventure, which is quite magnanimous of him. How could we, with the heart of a petty person, presume to speculate on his intentions?

Let’s end this matter here.”

Having lectured the True Persons next to him, Zhen Xuan turned his head towards Lu Yuan and apologized, “We got too obsessed with discussing the origins of Qingyu Taoist and made a fool of ourselves in front of you. Please forgive us for any offense.”

Lu Yuan quickly shook his head: “No harm done. Actually, I am very curious about that Qingyu Taoist myself. I owe everything to him, and if I could know his origins, it would fulfill a long-held wish.”

True Person Zhen Xuan smiled: “If, as you said, Qingyu Taoist is really an independent cultivator, then his strength would not be inferior to ours. Even if placed a few hundred years ago, he would still be a senior in the Immortal Method. ”

Just now, Fellow Daoist mentioned that Qingyu Taoist did not leave behind any Immortal Techniques, but only a martial arts secret book for later generations to inherit the Dao Inheritance and cultivate.”

Lu Yuan nodded, “Indeed, only a martial arts secret book was left. I have always regretted not being able to witness the Immortal Technique. Over the years, I have thought about looking for it, but after searching for more than a decade, I

still haven’t found it. My heart is filled with regret.”

Hearing this, the people from the six surnames and seven families beside him couldn’t help but show their sympathy.

Not only was it Lu Yuan, but even these aristocratic families had thought of looking for the Immortal Techniques over the years, but they could not find them no matter how hard they searched.

Apart from regret, there was no other way.

Among the True Persons, the others remained calm and expressionless, without any intention to speak up.

The reason why outsiders couldn’t find the Immortal Techniques was indeed partly due to their efforts.

After all, there is only so much Essence of the sun and the moon and Celestial spirit qi between Heaven and Earth, and once it is used, there will be less. Allowing more people to cultivate Immortal Techniques would only mean more competition for resources.

Nowadays, even their own cultivation is still not enough, right?

How could they let others join and share the resources?

Anqiu True Person, who was standing next to him, looked at Lu Yuan with a slightly different expression, but he didn’t say anything. Like the other True Persons, he remained silent and didn’t show any reaction.

Zhen Xuan True person then laughed and said, “Actually, what Elder Qingyu said is indeed true. In today’s world, even if the Immortal Techniques were passed down, Fellow Daoist would not be able to cultivate them. Have you heard of the decline of the Heavenly spirit qi?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback and then replied solemnly, “Indeed, I have heard others mention this. It is said that the Celestial spirit qi of Heaven and Earth is diminishing daily, making it increasingly difficult for future generations to cultivate and achieve the Dao. It has even become impossible.”

Zhen Xuan True Person nodded, “Indeed, the Celestial spirit qi of Heaven and Earth is being reduced day by day. It is not just achieving the Dao, but even cultivating is becoming tens or even hundreds of times more difficult than it was for our predecessors.”

When it comes to cultivating, we cultivators can no longer draw upon the Celestial spirit qi of Heaven and Earth, and absorb the Essence of the sun and the moon with our own strength alone.

To cultivate the Immortal Techniques, one must rely on external forces, that is, the Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens.”

In this world, there are seventy-two Blessed Lands and thirty-six Cavern Heavens. These Cavern Heavens and Blessed Lands are the World’s Meridians that bridge the gaps between Heaven and Earth.”

Therefore, cultivating in them allows one to directly connect with Heaven and Earth, breathe in the Celestial spirit qi, and extract the Essence of the sun and the moon.”

However, as the Celestial spirit qi continues to diminish, even the Essence of the sun and the moon contained within the Cavern Heavens and Blessed Lands is becoming increasingly scarce.

Of the seventy-two Blessed Lands, not a trace of Celestial spirit qi remains, and even the Essence of the sun and the moon is too sparse to nourish cultivation.

As for the thirty-six Cavern Heavens, although there is slightly more Essence of the sun and the moon compared to the Blessed Lands, the Celestial spirit qi is still scarce and insufficient.

Nowadays, only the top ten Cavern Heavens still have enough Celestial spirit qi to barely support cultivation. Anything beyond the tenth rank is no longer able to sustain the cultivation of the Immortal Techniques.”

That is to say, in the present world, if one wishes to cultivate, one must find one of the top ten Cavern Heavens.”

However, these top ten Cavern Heavens already have masters.”

Our Ziyun Dao’s Tianluo Mountain is one, Feishuang Dao’s Miluo Mountain is another, and the Dan Ding Path’s Tiannan Mountain is also one. The rest of the Cavern Heavens also have their own masters.”

As for us, we are already dissatisfied with the insufficient Celestial spirit qi, so how can we possibly share it with others?

Therefore, what Elder Qingyu said is indeed the truth.”

After his time, it has become impossible for the world to cultivate the

Immortal Techniques.”

Instead of wasting time on the Immortal Path, it is better to study Martial

Arts.”

If one can achieve the rank of Inborn Grandmaster in Martial Arts, the profound skills will be no less than those of the Immortal Techniques.”

Even for someone like me, I may not care much about confronting an ordinary Inborn Grandmaster, but if I were to encounter an Innate Great Grandmaster, an Earthly Godlike figure, I would still need to be cautious.”

So nowadays, while it’s difficult to achieve success in the Immortal Path, Martial Arts are easier to cultivate. Elder Qingyu has also devoted much thought to the welfare of future generations.”

Perhaps it is to make up for the secret that Lu Yuan openly revealed earlier, or perhaps it is to deter and suppress the unwanted thoughts of outsiders. At this moment, Ziyun Daoist openly revealed these secrets of the Immortal Path..”
