Randomly practicing evil skills, the nuclear light shines everywhere

Chapter 287 Old Demon Zhang: Can't your Qi and Fiends fuse into a star? Then your cultivation must be wrong!

"I can actually understand the language here. Do they speak a language similar to that of the planet Taixu...?"

Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly, and then he turned around.

In an instant, he saw a woman with slender eyebrows and eyes, dressed in white, standing behind a large tree. She was accompanied by a maid and two guards.

"Who are you, young lady?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

The woman in white's eyes brightened, and she smiled sweetly as she spoke: "My name is Bai Xuanxuan, and I am a member of the Bai family of Yongchuan!"

"Yongchuan?"

Zhang Yu was completely unfamiliar with the place names of this world, so he simply skipped the question and said, "My name is Zhang Ming!"

His purpose in coming here was to investigate the inner workings of this world, so he just made up a name.

As for why not use your real name?
Because his name, Zhang Juxia, has long resounded throughout the universe on Taixu Star, illuminating the past, present, and future.

The Yu Ling Sect had wreaked havoc on Tai Xu Star for a while, so they must have heard about it.

To reduce the chances of being exposed, he had to use a pseudonym, and his appearance was also slightly adjusted during the generation process.

"So it's Young Master Zhang!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu announce his name, Bai Xuanxuan gave a slight curtsy and then said:

"I just saw you standing by the main road in a daze for a long time. Are you worried about entering the Yu Ling Sect?"

Before Zhang Yu could answer, she answered her own question:
"Young Master, you don't need to worry. For the past month or so, the Yu Ling Sect has been opening its gates wide, welcoming anyone with even a little bit of cultivation talent!"

"Cultivation aptitude?"

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully.

Whether on Fuli Star or Taixu Star, anyone can cultivate; it's just that poor people don't have the means to cultivate.

How come things changed when I came to this world?

What other qualifications are needed?
It seems this world is extremely abnormal; we must observe it carefully and not act rashly.

Seemingly noticing Zhang Yu's confusion, Bai Xuanxuan widened her eyes in disbelief and asked:
"Young Master Zhang, judging from the top-quality materials of your robes, you must come from a wealthy family. How come you don't even know these things?"

At this point, she muttered to herself again:
"Could this Zhang Ming be one of those legendary ordinary people? But that's strange, why would an ordinary person have such a strong spiritual energy fluctuation..."

A thought raced through her mind, and she suddenly waved her hand and said:
"The so-called cultivation aptitude is that a person must have a spiritual aperture in their body. Those with a spiritual aperture can absorb spiritual energy to cultivate, while those without a spiritual aperture cannot even sense spiritual energy, let alone store spiritual energy, and can only remain mortals for life!"

"I see that although you, Young Master Zhang, have no cultivation at all, you are full of spiritual energy, which is probably because you possess a spiritual aperture."

"I see."

Zhang Yu nodded.

At the same time, his extraordinary wisdom instantly connected with the concept of the dantian (energy center).

The spiritual aperture is equivalent to the dantian (energy center), no problem!

“Young Master Zhang, since you possess a spiritual aperture, you must also be seeking to join the Spirit Control Sect. It just so happens that I share the same intention. How about we travel together?”

Bai Xuanxuan extended the invitation again.

This was her first time traveling so far from home, and Zhang Yu was quite good-looking and possessed a spiritual aperture, so she had to make the most of this opportunity.

Adultery!
Or perhaps it can be refined into a great medicine!
"That's fine."

Zhang Yu immediately nodded in agreement.

Anyway, his body was formed from a drop of blood, with only a wisp of consciousness attached to it, so it didn't matter if he died.

So, let alone the Spirit Control Sect, he would dare to venture into the caves of the True Dragon and White Tiger!
The group then set off again.

Soon, they merged from a dirt side road into a gravel road, where more and more people gradually appeared.

Some people were dressed in fine clothes and accompanied by servants, while others were in twos and threes, their eyes filled with hope.

"Did you know that I heard that tens of thousands of people become immortals every day in the upper sects..."

"Not only that, I heard it's nearly 100,000..."

"Isn't this almost the same..."

"..."

Hearing the two young men in traditional Chinese clothing arguing, Zhang Yu was slightly startled.

Are there countless people becoming immortals every day, perhaps even hundreds of thousands?

If that amounted to tens of millions over a year, wouldn't it be hundreds of millions...?

Is the Yuling Sect really that powerful?

What kind of world have I been transported to?

Bai Xuanxuan, seemingly to accommodate Zhang Yu, a 'cultivation novice,' raised her voice, intentionally showing off:
"Young Master Zhang, servants are not allowed within the Upper Sect, and becoming an immortal is a major hurdle."

If you can become an immortal, then you can once again be surrounded by followers and enjoy the company of servants in the upper sects…

Before she could finish speaking, two men in black robes, one fat and one thin, darted out from behind them carrying ten large bags:
"Get out of the way, don't get in my way of carrying my bag!"

"Why is this black soil so heavy? My small body can't hold up. Can you let me rest a bit, foreman?"

Before he finished speaking, twenty long whips lashed fiercely at the skinny monkey, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain, crying out for his parents.

These twenty long whips were not lashed by one person, but by twenty stewards dressed as managers who were hovering in the air.

One lash for each person, exactly twenty lashes!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu's eye twitched slightly.

This scene looks familiar!
Those who wanted to join the Yuling Sect were terrified when they saw how the sect treated its disciples, and dared not utter a sound.

Something seems off about this immortal sect!
Just then, a middle-aged manager lashed the skinny monkey a few more times before looking at Bai Xuanxuan, a slight smirk playing on his lips:
"These 'immortals' only need to work every day, while we managers have to think about so much more. We should be the ones enjoying ourselves!"

Bai Xuanxuan's smile froze on the spot.

In their family, these innate talents were considered the pride of heaven, and the elders wished they could cherish these innate juniors as if they were precious treasures.

By the same token, even if someone is born with a natural talent and comes to the upper sect, they should at least be protected by the elders and receive the treatment of a 'normal person'.

But why are they now forced to do manual labor carrying loads, and still get whipped at the drop of a hat?

Even the oxen and horses in their household don't work this hard!
"Miss Bai, the 'immortals' you mentioned don't seem to have any real status!"

Zhang Yu wore an innocent expression.

The 'immortals' in this world are more like cultivators who have just cultivated true qi than true immortals.

He was just worrying about this and that, thinking that even immortals in this world had been reduced to being just dogs on the street.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding...

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Bai Xuanxuan's face darkened further, her fists clenched tightly hidden in her sleeves, and she silently pondered:

"You wretched mortal, once you break through to become an 'immortal,' I'll make you regret it!"

This little incident caused the previously laughing and joking crowd to fall silent, with many well-dressed young men choosing to leave immediately.

Of course, most of them did not leave, but chose to move on.

The chance to become an immortal is right in front of you.

Besides, even becoming a servant of a great immortal master is better than becoming a servant of a landlord or official!
It's just carrying loads, but they toil in the fields every day, and during the off-season, they're conscripted by the government to build canals and palaces. It's not much easier than this.

In the morning, a humble farmer; by evening, a celestial master!
I'll give it my all to become an immortal!

Soon, this vast, winding line of people will reach the foot of a towering, cloud-piercing peak.

This is the Crossing Spirit Peak, and behind the Crossing Spirit Peak are several even more majestic mountains, which are the residences of the high-ranking members of the Imperial Spirit Sect!

After queuing for 15 minutes, more than 10,000 people, including Zhang Yu and Bai Xuanxuan, entered Duling Peak.

Yes, that means everyone goes to Ferry Spirit Peak.

Because the Yuling Sect never intended to test spiritual apertures; instead, they chose to accept all comers.

Of course, you can come to Duling Peak, but the Yuling Sect won't provide cultivation techniques and resources for free.

Upon hearing the explanation from the True Qi Realm manager, Zhang Yu frowned slightly.

Could it be that the Yuling Sect is also an extremely rigid sect that requires newly recruited disciples to work like slaves for decades in order to obtain even the most basic cultivation technique?
If that's the case, his plan to infiltrate the Yuling Sect and gather information will be ruined.

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering a solution, the black-clad steward above the plaza spoke again:
"Of course, considering that our sect urgently needs fresh blood, the test that tempers one's character has been temporarily cancelled."

"The sect's welfare hall is now offering you a loan. As long as you sign the contract, you can obtain cultivation techniques and a cave dwelling..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

In an instant, seven or eight disciples at the late stage of True Qi moved out a table and swaggered to sit in the middle of the main hall of Duling Peak Square.

"Line up one by one to sign the contract!"

The young man in brocade robes standing at the front of the group, under the pressure of the disciples' gazes, reluctantly stepped forward.

He looked at the words above and slowly read them aloud:

The Yuling Sect has borrowed two spirit stones from me in exchange for the sect's signature divine skill, the "Yuling True Scripture," and a cave dwelling. You must return ten spirit stones within a month, or the sect will take back everything you own.

The young man in brocade robes knelt down with a thud, sobbing and saying, "Immortal Master, isn't this too much?"

"Is it much?"

The steward said quietly.

"a lot!"

The young man in brocade robes kowtowed repeatedly, his head thumping loudly: "My father was a furnace maker specially selected for the immortal master of Yongchuan Town. He worked hard all year and only earned two or three spirit stones..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of sword light appeared, and his head rolled to the ground.

The steward brandished his blood-dripping sword and said:

"This person's body and soul are still intact. They will be sent to the treasure vault of Duling Peak as material for future disciples to cultivate the 'True Scripture of Spirit Control'."

Upon seeing this, the newly initiated disciples were terrified, and the timid ones even wet their pants in fear.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Under the manager's intimidation, all the disciples, regardless of their status or background, went up to sign the contract, and then received a cultivation manual and a cave dwelling token with long faces.

Soon, it was Zhang Yu's turn.

He stepped forward, looked at the extremely rudimentary jade-like golden script on the contract, and chuckled inwardly. This thing could at most kill a cultivator at the True Qi Realm, and even then, the distance couldn't be too great.

He was formed from a drop of blood from a person at the Innate Realm, and no matter how the contract was activated, it could not shake him in the slightest, let alone his original body.

So he left behind a magnificent, flamboyant name without worry.

After signing the loan agreement, Zhang Yu also received a copy of the "True Scripture of Spirit Control" and a cave dwelling token.

He looked at the manual in his hand and sneered inwardly.

Loans can be taken out, but debts will definitely not be repaid.

He even wants to kill the entire Yu Ling Sect family!

Filled with boundless pride, Zhang Yu followed the instructions on his waist tag and arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.

There were already more than a dozen people sitting here. They didn't seem to care about Zhang Yu's arrival. They were all holding their secret manuals and scratching their heads.

"Why can't I even begin to understand the 'True Scripture of Spirit Control'? Why is that?!"

"Could it be that we really don't have spiritual apertures? Is what that Immortal Jiang said true?"

"It's over, everything's over. Our bodies and souls are going to be taken by the sect as materials, sob sob sob..."

Amidst the wailing and howling, a handsome young man remained silent, quietly looking at the manual in his hand with a smile on his lips.

This unusual scene caught Zhang Yu's attention, and the other girl seemed to notice Zhang Yu's gaze as well, looking up as well.

Zhang Yu nodded slightly to him, then looked away and walked to an open space.

Then, he took out the "True Scripture of Spirit Control" from his hand.

As he gently turned the pages, lines of text resembling the Taixu Star came into view, which eased Zhang Yu's mind slightly.

The writing and language here are almost identical to those on Taixu Star.

This saves him the trouble of learning to read again, which is great!

As he thought this, his eyes swept across martial arts, and a general outline came into view.

All spiritual cultivation in this world requires spiritual insight.

Spirit Realm, Liquid Condensation Realm, Core Condensation Realm, Spirit Form Realm...

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu frowned slightly.

Something's not right about this level of cultivation!

Suddenly, the stunningly handsome young man asked Zhang Yu:

"Brother, my name is Jiang Xian. Have you encountered some kind of trouble? If you don't mind, I can help you with it?"

Zhang Yu initially didn't want to pay attention to this person, but seeing his confident demeanor, a thought struck him, and he spoke:

"Then tell me about the different cultivation realms."

"How difficult is this!"

Jiang Xian smiled faintly and said:

"If you want to cultivate immortality, the first step is to have a spiritual aperture. Without a spiritual aperture, you can't even sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, let alone cultivate."

"These people just don't have the spiritual aperture, so they can't cultivate true qi no matter what they do."

He looked at Zhang Yu's expressionless face, smiled faintly, and said:

"Brother, you are full of spiritual energy, but it is almost impossible for you to succeed in cultivation."

Zhang Yu frowned slightly.

He asked about the specific level of cultivation, not whether he could successfully cultivate it.

He possesses extraordinary wisdom and is an unparalleled genius; how could he possibly fail at the threshold of cultivation?

This guy is so ignorant!
Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's displeasure, Jiang Xian waved her hand and said, "I couldn't help but say a few more words, please don't take offense."

He cleared his throat and continued:
"The spiritual aperture can sense the various spiritual energies between heaven and earth, absorb them, and mix them with one's own blood and qi to transform them into true qi. Therefore, this realm is also called spiritual connection, and in the eyes of mortals, it is already like being an immortal."

"If you continue to cultivate, once your true qi is perfected, you can push it into your dantian and let it merge with your soul to form true essence. This state is called condensation liquid."

"If a condensed liquid wants to break through to the condensed core stage, it will be quite difficult. It must find various supernatural and wondrous objects naturally born in the world and use the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends to fuse them together in one furnace, in which way a trace of immortal golden nature can be born."

"Find rare objects to fuse with supernatural powers, refine them with fierce energy, and give birth to the metal element?"

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully.

This is completely different from what he cultivates. It sounds like the process of those evil cultists throwing people into an alchemy furnace to refine elixirs.

He instinctively felt that it was unreliable to not use the Gangsha Fusion Star.

This is definitely a wrong method of cultivation!
"That's right. Once the metal element is born, it can borrow the power of heaven and earth and possess the ability to move mountains and shift peaks."

After Ning Dan dies, even the heavens and earth will exhibit strange phenomena, and the remaining metal element may even give birth to various evil monsters, because the metal element is immortal…”

Zhang Yu was somewhat dismissive.

Those in the True Qi Realm can move mountains and shift peaks without relying on the metal element. Apart from the fact that the world will not change color after death and no evil monsters will be born, everything else is pretty much the same.

However, Jiang Xian's words did give him a wake-up call.

He once killed three black-robed men in one go on Taixu Star. After their deaths, they turned into monsters, and three strange auras remained after the monsters died.

Is this the nature of metal?
As expected, evolving in the direction of fusion just didn't work.

"What about the spirit form, and the realms beyond that?" Zhang Yu continued to ask.

"Spirit-forms possess even more unpredictable magical powers, have lifespans of up to a thousand years, and transform into rare and precious treasures after death..."

"As for the later realms, I'm not entirely clear on that..."

Jiang Xian shook her head.

"I see, thank you for letting me know."

Zhang Yu waved his hand and flipped through the manual in his hand again.

"What are you trying to do, brother?"

Jiang Xian asked in confusion.

"What else can I do besides cultivate?"

Zhang Yu said lightly.

"Brother, let me put it more bluntly: although you are full of spiritual energy, you do not have a spiritual aperture, so it is impossible for you to cultivate!"

Jiang Xian smiled faintly, shielding the others from hearing, and said, "However, I have a divine pill that might help you after you eat it..."

Zhang Yu was too lazy to pay him any attention.

He was being asked to take some unknown elixir?

He possesses extraordinary wisdom; how could he be stumped by mere cultivation?

Who are you looking down on?
With that thought, he made a mental movement, and the second self hovering above his head instantly merged with him.

In an instant, his wisdom astounded the world, and a series of thoughts kept arising in his mind.

In this world's cultivation system, people often transform into rare treasures or even monsters after death.

The cultivation of the Core Formation technique is even more outrageous, using the Qi that evolves itself on that metal element!

This cultivation method is too evil; it must be incorrect!

Everything must be changed!
With that in mind, he only retained the characteristics of the technique, and completely corrected the cultivation method to the one he was familiar with.

He, Zhang the Great Hero, never creates useless martial arts techniques!
As wisdom continued to emerge from his mind, the incantations of the "True Scripture of Spirit Control" flowed into his heart once again.

Rumble!
Before long, the surrounding spiritual energy continuously poured into Zhang Yu's body.

Jiang Xian's eyes widened immediately.

How can this be.

He clearly doesn't have any spiritual apertures, so how could he possibly cultivate?
Sensing the commotion around them, the dozen or so disciples who had been deep in thought also showed expressions of shock.

Some of them had been members of the Yuling Sect for over half a month, but they were still at a loss when it came to this technique, as they couldn't store spiritual energy into their bodies at all.

Although Jiang Xian told them that they had no spiritual aperture, they still tried with a glimmer of hope.

What if it works!
But reality dealt them a cruel blow.

Even if they sought help from Immortal Jiang, he would say that they lacked spirituality and were not destined to cultivate.

This made them want to tear Jiang Xian to pieces.

Damn it, you must have stolen our luck.

If they could, they would love to train it into the Star Wrath described in the "Spirit Control Technique," so that it would never be reincarnated!

It's a pity that there is no if.

This Jiang Xian is already a powerful spiritual being; they can't afford to offend him!
Just as their thoughts were racing, Zhang Yu suddenly exhaled a breath arrow, which hissed through the air.

A powerful psychic!

The dozen or so disciples of the Spirit Control Sect's eyes lit up, and one of the more clever ones even knelt on the ground, weeping and shouting:

"Senior brother, could you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, the others also hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said:
"I've been cultivating for half a month without any progress. I'm about to be recognized as a talent by the sect. I beg you, senior brother, to have mercy on me!"

"Yes, Senior Brother, we have no way to repay your great kindness. The only thing we can do is to bring you more potent medicines or more women in the future..."

Zhang Yu's expression narrowed slightly upon hearing these words.

These people did not cultivate true qi, but their temperament was also affected by the evil techniques of the Yuling Sect, making them extremely cruel.

That must be drastically corrected.

Thinking this, he smiled and said, "Since we are all fellow disciples, I will pass on the secrets of this divine skill to you!"
