Chapter 119: Let Me Show You the Insight of an Immortal!

The Undying Maiden had great plans. Lu Yang, personally cultivated by the Eldest Senior Sister, was already a prodigy of a caliber rarely seen even in ancient times. Surpassing levels in combat shouldn’t be a difficult task for him, and this was a perfect opportunity for her to make a name for herself on the platform.

However, she realized that although Lu Yang could indeed fight above his level in ancient times, it didn’t mean he could do the same in the Dao Seeking Sect.

What the Undying Maiden didn’t know was that, as one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Dao Seeking Sect was unparalleled in its ingenious techniques and unfathomable ideas, more than in any other aspect.ÚpTodated novels on no(v)el()bin(.)com

The Dao Seeking Sect has stood unshaken for 120,000 years, relying not just on luck but more so on strength.

By the time of the Dao Seeking Sect’s Nine, each of the Nine had their own methods, elevating the Sect’s strength even further.

For example, the Seventh Elder, in charge of the Pellet Cauldron Peak, laid a solid foundation for the subsequent disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect to build their foundation with his hundred attempts at foundation building during his youth. Lu Yang benefited from this as well.

The Seventh Elder proposed an idea during his peak foundation building stage, questioning why a person could only have one Golden Core. Why not two or three?

He began to theorize what dual and triple Golden Cores would look like. Dual Golden Cores were manageable, with two cores attracting and rotating around each other in a systematic manner. However, when it came to triple Golden Cores, the Seventh Elder started to struggle. The trajectory of the triple Golden Cores’ rotation was like a chaotic fog, without any discernible pattern.

With relentless determination, the Seventh Elder listed eighteen Heavenly Origin configurations and used his master’s divine consciousness to calculate the outcome, solving the problem.

However, the computational requirements for the rotation of triple Golden Cores were too immense, beyond what a Golden Core stage cultivator could withstand. Thus, the idea of triple Golden Cores eventually faded away. (TL Note: I don’t know if the author is referencing this, but there is a problem about solving the subsequent motion for three point masses according to Newton’s laws of motion and Newton’s law of universal gravitation, dubbed the Three-Body Problem and there is a famous science fiction novel written about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(novel) It’s actually really good. I’ve read the entire series. There’s also a drama on youtube but I prefer the nove)

Although unsuccessful, the new algorithms created during the process greatly helped the Seventh Elder.

After generations of research by the Dao Seeking Sect, their understanding of the Core Formation process is incredibly profound. With a good foundation and following the process, forming a top-quality Golden Core is not difficult.

Any disciple from the Dao Seeking Sect, when placed in the outside world, would be considered a prodigy. It’s not to say they are unbeatable among their peers, but defeating ninety-nine percent of them wouldn’t be a problem.

In the spiritual space, Lu Yang silently watched the Undying Maiden.

I understand all that, but why is it the Undying Maiden who is useless, yet I’m the one embarrassed?

The Undying Maiden’s debut was less than successful.

“Give me back control of my body!” Lu Yang regretted letting the Undying Maiden control his body.

The Undying Maiden lectured Lu Yang, the junior, “Young one, cultivation isn’t just about fighting. Can strength represent everything? Of course not. Cultivation means insight, testing one’s eye for quality. There are many good items in this Dao Seeking Sect market. Let me show you what the insight of an ancient immortal looks like!”

Lu Yang chose to trust her once more.

The senior brother gritted his teeth. The vase had been up for sale for a long time with no buyers. Today, there was finally someone interested, and he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Deal!”

The Undying Maiden boasted to Lu Yang, “See? This is my insight!”

Lu Yang was curious, “Does this vase hide any secrets?”

The Undying Maiden shook her head mysteriously, “The vase really only has its durability as a feature, but the secret isn’t in the vase; it’s in this withered flower!”

“This flower contains a cultivation technique, which I’ll decipher for you!”

The Undying Maiden moved to a corner of the market, muttering what seemed to be an ancient scripture. As the sonorous chanting filled the air, the withered flower miraculously revived, blooming partially until fully blossoming. Characters began to float out of the flower as it opened completely.

The Undying Maiden looked unsurprised, confidently translating, and quickly produced the results.

“This is a cultivation technique that can take you to the Void Refinement Stage, called ‘Liuli Bone Transformation’. The technique is divided into three stages: Untransformed Bone, Diamond Bone, and the fully cultivated Liuli Bone. This is only a fragment, containing the Untransformed Bone stage, which covers from the Qi Refinement to the Golden Core stage.”

“If there’s a chance to enter an ancient ruin, perhaps the latter half of the technique can be found!”

The Undying Maiden was triumphant. A fragment of a Void Refinement Stage technique, which in ancient times could lead to the downfall of small to medium tribes, was highly sought after.

Lu Yang was silent for a moment, then recited a passage. The Undying Maiden was astonished; this was the ending of the ‘Liuli Bone Transformation’ fragment. “I haven’t translated it for you yet. How do you know this? Can you understand the characters’ meaning?”

Lu Yang sighed and explained, “The Dao Seeking Sect has already obtained the complete technique from an ancient ruin. I studied this technique as a reference and have read through it.”

“Eldest Senior Sister even corrected several flaws in the technique, extended it, and deduced that beyond Liuli Bone is the Indestructible Bone. Now, the ‘Liuli Bone Transformation’ can be cultivated to the peak of the Unity Stage.”

“If you’re interested, I can take you to see it. It’s on the first floor of the scripture library. It’s free, and you can look as much as you like.”

The Undying Maiden: “...”

Why would the Dao Seeking Sect place such a precious technique on the first floor of the scripture library?

Lu Yang had his own question; he wanted to know if he could get a refund for the two hundred contribution points.
