Chapter 98 The Oath of the Dao Heart, A Letter from the Ji Family

"Um……"

Upon hearing Lin Qingwu's words, Ji Haoyuan's expression became serious as he put away his storage bag.

He knew that as the fundamental inheritance of the Crimson Cloud Sect, even if he could exchange for those two inheritances, there would inevitably be corresponding conditions.

He then gave Lin Qingwu a slight nod.

"Junior Sister Lin, please speak."

Lin Qingwu didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"If you want to exchange for my sect's Crimson Sun Flame Technique and Wave-Chasing Heaven-Burning Seal, Senior Brother Ji, you must make a vow of Dao Heart, guaranteeing that after you obtain these two techniques, you will never teach them to anyone else."

This knowledge should not be passed on to any cultivators, including those from your Ji family.

"Is there any problem with this, Senior Brother Ji?"

The so-called Dao Heart Oath is a type of oath in this world that directly points to the cultivator's true heart.

Once a decision is made, it must never be broken in the slightest.

If you disobey, all sorts of misfortunes will befall you.

At best, it will damage one's fortune; at worst, it will lead to a severe risk of demonic possession if one continues to cultivate.

In severe cases, one may lose oneself, one's spiritual practice may collapse in an instant, and one may become a complete waste of life.

Moreover, this vow will accompany the monk for life.

It is a type of oath that is even more difficult to avoid and eliminate than the oath made by inner demons.

Ji Haoyuan didn't hesitate much and immediately nodded in affirmation:
“No problem. Since it is the fundamental tradition of our sect, it is perfectly reasonable to make a vow of faith.”

As he spoke, he made that vow of faith right in front of Lin Qingwu.

And at the very moment he made that vow, he immediately felt as if something had fallen upon him from the depths of the universe.

As soon as he breaks the vow he just made to uphold his Daoist principles, he will soon be struck by misfortune.

Seeing that Ji Haoyuan so readily made the vow of Dao Heart, Lin Qingwu's face immediately lit up with a smile again.

Immediately, she took out two tokens from her person and handed them to Ji Haoyuan, saying:

"Senior Brother Ji, you only need to take these two tokens to our sect's Dharma Transmission Pavilion later."

At that time, you will be able to exchange for the two inheritances you desire.

I wonder if Senior Brother Ji has anything else to exchange next?

If so, I'll exchange them all for you right here.

It has to be said that having acquaintances to help out in this office is very convenient these days.

At that moment, Ji Haoyuan exchanged another Foundation Establishment Pill recipe with Lin Qingwu according to his own needs.

While this pill formula is precious in the outside world, it's just another ordinary thing in the Crimson Cloud Sect. Naturally, it won't require you to make any oaths like you would when exchanging for the Crimson Cloud Blazing Sun Technique or the Chasing Waves Burning Heaven Seal.

Even if word gets out, the Crimson Cloud Sect won't care.

In addition to exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, Ji Haoyuan also exchanged for some spiritual herbs and precious materials.

Among them was a spiritual fruit called the Jade Longevity Fruit.

This fruit can help Foundation Establishment cultivators increase their lifespan by twenty years.

Ji Haoyuan exchanged it for the sake of his ancestor, Ji Bochang.

However, after this, unless there is some kind of longevity-extending spiritual object that can break the shackles of heaven and earth, it will be impossible to survive.

Otherwise, at the Foundation Establishment stage, Ji Bochang would no longer be able to extend his lifespan.

One has three chances to extend one's lifespan at each realm, and one cannot use the same spiritual object to extend one's lifespan; this has been the rule of this world since ancient times.

No one can disobey it.

Just as Ji Haoyuan was about to finish the exchange, something on the exchange jade book suddenly caught his attention.

It was a fragment of a map made of special paper. Judging from its appearance and some of the markings on it, it bore an eighty percent resemblance to the two fragments he currently possessed.

Could this be another part of that map?

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan immediately used his remaining merits to exchange for the incomplete map.

Once he finished exchanging items, Ji Haoyuan did not linger in the Affairs Hall any longer.

After expressing his gratitude to Lin Qingwu, he went directly to the Transmission Hall of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

As the fundamental place for the inheritance of a lineage, the Transmission Pavilion naturally has layers of protection.

As soon as Ji Haoyuan arrived, he sensed an aura that made even him feel uneasy from the flow of spiritual energy around him.

This place should be connected to the Crimson Cloud Sect's protective mountain array, the Blazing Heaven Fire Lotus Array.

Anyone who dares to trespass or cause trouble here will be attacked by the Fiery Lotus Formation immediately.

Fortunately.

Ji Haoyuan possesses a guest elder token and a token for exchanging cultivation techniques.

Upon sensing the two familiar auras emanating from him, the formation here immediately dissipated most of the aura that had been subtly targeting him.

Once Ji Haoyuan entered the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, he immediately headed straight for his destination.

That is the location of the jade slips containing the Crimson Sun Flame Technique and the Chasing Waves Burning Heaven Seal.

The process went smoothly without any further setbacks.

After he obtained the two jade slips engraved with the Crimson Sun Flame Technique and the Chasing Waves Burning Heaven Seal, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he used his power as a guest elder to search for cultivation techniques and Taoist arts worth referencing and learning from in the Transmission Hall.

As a Golden Core sect with a history of thousands of years, the Crimson Cloud Sect possesses cultivation techniques and scriptures that far surpass what the small Ji family could ever hope to acquire.

However, given his current level of cultivation, there are clearly not many cultivation techniques and Taoist arts that he can learn from and refer to.

At least that's the case within the Transmission Hall of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

Nevertheless, after searching, he did discover some useful inheritances.

Furthermore, during this process, Ji Haoyuan also studied a large number of travelogues and geographical information about the Hongduan Mountains and its surrounding areas.

It greatly broadened his horizons and made up for some of his shortcomings in this area.

that's it.

Ji Haoyuan stayed in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion for many days.

Just as he picked up another jade slip recording various landforms and environments, preparing to read it on the spot, a messenger arrow was suddenly delivered to him.

This immediately made him a little confused.

But when he opened the message arrow and saw its contents, his previously calm expression immediately changed.

Without saying a word, he immediately put down the jade slip in his hand, put away the jade slip he was going to take away, made a registration, and then headed directly towards the Welcoming Peak of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

soon.

He then found the Ji family cultivator who had come to the Crimson Cloud Sect with him.

At this moment, all the cultivators from the Ji family had obviously already exchanged for the items they wanted to acquire on this trip.

When they saw Ji Haoyuan approaching, they all immediately bowed respectfully.

Ji Haoyuan didn't waste any more words. After confirming that everyone was safe, he immediately led them out of the Crimson Cloud Sect and headed towards Qianyang Mountain, where the Ji family was located.

On the road.

Ji Haoyuan found Ji Qingfei and said to him in a rather heavy tone:
"Qingfei, I just received a message from the Ancestor."

My elder brother, your great-grandfather, is nearing the end of his life; barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will likely be within the next few days.
