Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 405 Creating a New Cultivation Method

The business of "Star Moon Trading Company" is very important and holds great weight in Li Yunjing's heart, but compared with Xing'er and Yue'er's cultivation levels, it is not worth mentioning.

Xing'er and Yue'er are not geniuses; they can only be considered above average.

After the two women reached the Foundation Establishment stage, their cultivation progress slowed down considerably.

According to Li Yunjing's prediction, the two women should have no problem reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm in their lifetime!
However, forming a core and breaking through to the Golden Core realm is extremely difficult.

This requires external help!

The "Red Sun Fruit" is an extremely precious spiritual medicine that can help cultivators increase their success rate when forming their core.

Li Yunjing went to great lengths to obtain these fruits, with the aim of paving the way for Xing'er, Yue'er, and even Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi.

"Okay! We understand!"

Xing'er said with a smile.

"Yes! Brother Yun Jing, we have been working hard to cultivate recently, and we haven't missed a single moment of free time."

Yue'er also explained.

"Yes! The situation at the trading company has stabilized! If anything comes up, delegate it to someone else. The two of you should take turns, and both of you need to ensure you have enough time for seclusion!"

Li Yunjing's tone was somewhat stern as he continued, "In the next few days, I will compile a cultivation technique and give it to you to practice. Just focus on your cultivation and don't worry about anything else."

"All right!"

"We'll listen to you!"

Xing'er and Yue'er were secretly delighted to see how much Li Yunjing cared for them.

Looking at Xing'er and Yue'er's well-behaved appearance, Li Yunjing felt a warmth in his heart.

Although the two girls are not exceptionally talented, they are diligent, hardworking, and kind-hearted.

This is why he values ​​them so much.

In the path of cultivation, talent is certainly important, but character and perseverance are equally indispensable.

Although Xing'er and Yue'er are making slow progress, they are taking solid steps at every step. With my full support, there is still great hope for them!
Core formation is a major hurdle on a cultivator's path to enlightenment; once one breaks through it, one can live for over a thousand years.

"You should go back and rest first. I will teach you the cultivation technique in a few days."

Li Yunjing waved his hand, signaling the two women to step back.

Xing'er and Yue'er exchanged a glance, nodded obediently, and then left the room.

After the two women left, Li Yunjing sat down at the table, took out a jade slip, and began to examine it carefully.

He planned to tailor a cultivation technique for Xing'er and Yue'er, combining their physiques and cultivation characteristics, to help them better condense their golden cores when they reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This set of techniques must not only be suitable for them, but also complement the medicinal effects of the "Red Sun Fruit" to maximize the success rate of core formation.

As for combat capabilities?
Li Yunjing had no choice but to sacrifice himself!
Xing'er and Yue'er cannot balance cultivation and combat power!

You can't have your cake and eat it too!
This is the awkward situation the two women found themselves in.

Li Yunjing wasn't worried about the two women, since Xing'er and Yue'er didn't need to do anything.

I'll just give them some more life-saving items; that will be enough for them to protect themselves.

In the stillness of the night, only a faint light flickered in Li Yunjing's room.

His fingers gently traced across the jade slip, and streams of spiritual light flowed with his thoughts, gradually condensing into a complete cultivation method.

Only when the sky began to lighten did he breathe a sigh of relief and nod in satisfaction.

The next day, Li Yunjing went through the deduction again himself.

He revised the parts that had some flaws again.

On the third day, the simulation was repeated, but the plan was changed again!
The cultivation techniques practiced by one's own woman must be perfected.

In other words, Li Yunjing was well-read, having read thousands of books on martial arts and supernatural powers.

Otherwise, how could one dare to deduce a complete Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation technique at this level?
Seven days later, Li Yunjing stood up, stretched lazily, and relieved the fatigue in his brain.

Li Yunjing's divine sense swept across the entire "Star Moon Merchant Guild," and Xing'er and Yue'er were indeed obedient and cultivating.

The others were busy inside the shop.

When Xing'er and Yue'er finished their practice, they received a telepathic message from Li Yunjing and went to Li Yunjing's room.

"Star, Moon".

Li Yunjing handed the two jade slips to them respectively and solemnly said, "This is a cultivation technique I have tailored for you, called the 'Star Moon Core Formation Technique'. If you cultivate according to this technique, your success rate in forming your core will be greatly increased."

"Thank you, Brother Yunjing!"

Xing'er and Yue'er accepted the jade slip, their eyes filled with gratitude.

They knew that Li Yunjing had put in a lot of effort for them, and they secretly resolved to work even harder to live up to his expectations.

"Brother Yunjing, don't worry, we will definitely cultivate diligently and never let you down!"

Xing'er gripped the jade slip tightly and said firmly.

Yue'er nodded heavily, her eyes shining with determination.

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and patted their shoulders: "Go on, focus on your cultivation. You don't need to worry about the business anymore, others will help you with everything."

After Xing'er and Yue'er left, Li Yunjing stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous, especially for cultivators like Xing'er and Yue'er, where every step is full of challenges.

I hope they can persevere, break through their limitations, and reach even greater heights.

Otherwise, sooner or later, they will be separated by life and death.

In the days that followed, Xing'er and Yue'er began their secluded cultivation.

Following the "Star and Moon Elixir Condensation Technique" taught by Li Yunjing, they practiced day and night without stopping, and changed to new cultivation methods.

This cultivation technique was tailor-made by Li Yunjing for Xing'er and Yue'er, and they found it easy to practice.

As time passed, Li Yunjing spent his days overseeing the business of "Star Moon Trading Company" and his nights cultivating his five secondary professions.

He plans to cultivate all five of his deputy positions to the peak of the second tier and become a master.

A few days later, Li Yunjing's leisure time finally came to an end.

"Brother Li, the Ancestor has asked me to take you to see him."

Xu Xun glared at his rival.

"Hehe! Okay! I'll head to the Shenxiao Branch Temple right now!"

Li Yunjing smiled.

Every time he saw Xu Xun, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

His mind was filled with a wicked sense of humor.

One day, when I advance to the Golden Core Realm, Xu Xun will call me Elder. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Li Yunjing followed Xu Xun to the Shenxiao Branch Temple, but secretly he was making plans.

The day the ancestor summoned him was the day he was to depart.

By the time this matter is resolved, his "sentence" will have long passed.

He can return to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and live a peaceful life for a while.

Xu Xun's expression was not good throughout the journey.

He harbored resentment towards Li Yunjing, especially after seeing Li Yunjing getting close to Yunyi, which made him even more resentful.

However, he dared not disobey the patriarch's orders, and given that Li Yunjing's cultivation level far surpassed his own, Xu Xun had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Li Yunjing with him.

"Brother Li, the Ancestor has high hopes for you!"

Xu Xun said coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"is it?"

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you flatter me. If the Ancestor has any instructions, I will do my best to comply."

"Humph!"

Xu Xun snorted coldly and said no more.

The two left the market and flew all the way, soon arriving at the "Shenxiao Branch Temple".

After being managed by the Shenxiao Daozong, the Shenxiao Branch Temple is surrounded by clouds and mist, and is full of spiritual energy, just like a fairyland.

Although this wasn't Li Yunjing's first time here, he could always feel the aura of a blessed land every time he stepped into this place.

This is really a great place.

After entering the temple, Xu Xun led Li Yunjing to a large hall.

The temple doors were tightly closed, and two disciples dressed in Taoist robes stood solemnly at the entrance.

"Ancestor, Li Yunjing has arrived."

Xu Xun stood respectfully outside the hall and reported in a low voice.

"Let Li Yunjing in!" A voice, aged yet authoritative, echoed from inside the hall.

"Hehe! Brother Xu, I'll go in first!"

After teasing Xu Xun, Li Yunjing composed himself, straightened his robes, and stepped into the main hall.

The hall was dimly lit, and various ancient magical artifacts were placed around it. In the very center sat an old man with white hair, none other than the Fiery Immortal.

"Disciple Li Yunjing pays respects to the Ancestor."

Li Yunjing bowed respectfully.

Master Liehuo nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as lightning, and looked Li Yunjing up and down before slowly asking, "Yunjing, how has your cultivation progressed lately?"

Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the ancestor was testing him, so he respectfully replied, "Ancestor, I have recently cultivated the five secondary positions to the peak of the second level, and my cultivation has also steadily improved. Killing a Golden Core Realm first level cultivator should be very easy for me."

"Very good! Very good!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liehuo's eyes flashed with approval: "Indeed, all five deputy positions have reached the peak of the second rank, which is truly rare! Do you know why I summoned you here today?"

"This disciple has some guesses!"

Li Yunjing chuckled: "The Ancestor summoned his disciple here, presumably for the matter of the 'Lingyuan Island' secret realm, right?"

"That's right! That's exactly what it's about!"

Master Liehuo nodded, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "'Lingyuan Island' secret realm is about to open! This secret realm contains a large number of rare resources, and there may even be an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core realm! You must make the most of it!"

"Disciple understands! Anyone from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' shall be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing was shocked.

Li Yunjing was well aware of the requirements of the Fiery Immortal, and without needing anyone to point them out, he simply stated them himself.

As for the opportunities within the secret realm?
For Li Yunjing, this was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

In particular, the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm was something Li Yunjing had been dreaming of.

For even the smallest benefit, Li Yunjing dared to snatch food from the jaws of a half-step Nascent Soul Realm expert, let alone the "Lingyuan Island" secret realm!
Since those with cultivation levels above the Foundation Establishment Realm cannot enter, Li Yunjing naturally intends to sweep everything away and have a good, thorough battle!
"Excellent! Kill! Rob the treasure!"

Master Liehuo nodded: "These are your two tasks! If you find any fourth-tier fire-attribute spiritual items in the secret realm, you must hand them over to me. I will give you a sufficient reward and will not let you suffer any losses!"

"Disciple understands! As long as it's a fourth-tier fire-attribute spiritual item, disciple will risk his life to obtain it for Ancestor!"

Li Yunjing nodded solemnly.

Only then did he realize the purpose of Master Liehuo!

He was certain that Master Liehuo must have received some information and knew that there was some treasure in the "Lingyuan Island" secret realm that was suitable for him to use!

All that talk from Master Liehuo was just for his own little scheme, wasn't it?

Those old guys are really cunning!
He was clearly asking him to do things for him, but he insisted on saying it was giving Li Yunjing a chance to serve the sect!
The phrase "cunning and shrewd" still holds a lot of truth.

"Go to the dock in three days, and we'll set off!"

Master Liehuo waved his hand in satisfaction, signaling Li Yunjing to step down.

"Yes! This disciple takes his leave!"

Li Yunjing chuckled inwardly, but after bowing respectfully, he turned and left the main hall.

These old ancestors are really good at putting on an act just to save face!
After leaving the main hall, Xu Xun remained standing outside the door. Seeing Li Yunjing emerge, he coldly asked, "What does the Ancestor want with you?"

Li Yunjing smiled, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "Brother Xu, I'm afraid this matter is inconvenient to disclose. However, if you are interested, you may wish to ask the Ancestor."

"Humph!"

Xu Xun's face darkened, but he couldn't lash out. He could only snort coldly and turn to leave.

"This guy!"

Li Yunjing watched Xu Xun's retreating figure, secretly amused.

Li Yunjing knew that Xu Xun harbored hostility towards him, but he didn't care.

The two were not enemies, they just didn't get along.

Xu Xun is a member of the "Enforcement Hall" and is loyal to the "Enforcement Hall"'s principles. He always insists on doing things in accordance with the law and would never scheme against Li Yunjing behind his back!
Li Yunjing was quite happy to have such an opponent, to provoke him.

Upon returning to the "Star Moon Trading Company," Li Yunjing immediately began preparing for the upcoming trip to the ruins.

He checked his magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans, array plates, and puppet beasts, and specifically instructed Xing'er and Yue'er to focus on their cultivation while he was away.

"Brother Yunjing, how long are you going to be gone?"

Xing'er asked with some concern.

Li Yunjing patted her head and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible! You two cultivate diligently, and I'll check your cultivation levels when I return."

Yue'er nodded, her eyes filled with determination: "Brother Yun Jing, don't worry, we will definitely work hard!"

Li Yunjing smiled with relief and slept peacefully for three days.

Li Yunjing lacked nothing; as long as he was well-rested, he could set off.

Three days later, as promised, I arrived at the dock.

On the dock, the morning mist had not completely dissipated, and a faint mist of water vapor filled the air.

Li Yunjing stood by the dock, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, and noticed that quite a few cultivators had already gathered there.

The numerous Qi Refining Realm cultivators before us were bustling about at the dock. Some were boarding ships, dreaming of setting sail and seeking opportunities; others had just returned from the sea, showing expressions of relief.

"Li Yunjing, come with me!"

Just as Li Yunjing was lamenting the hardships of being a cultivator, he heard the voice of True Person Liehuo.

Li Yunjing looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Master Liehuo was standing on a huge flying boat, waving at him.

The flying boat was entirely crimson red, with complex runes engraved on its hull and faint flame patterns flowing around it. It was the sect's "Divine Firmament Warship"!
The giant ship belonging to Master Liehuo did not reveal its true form; otherwise, it would have already caused a stir among everyone on the dock.

"I've met my ancestor!"

Once aboard the "Shenxiao Warship," Li Yunjing strode forward and bowed respectfully.

Master Liehuo, needing a favor from him, nodded with a kind expression and said with a smile, "No need for formalities! You must perform well on this trip to the secret realm and not disappoint the ancestor's expectations."

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and nodded in response, "This disciple will certainly do his best."

After boarding the "Shenxiao Warship", Li Yunjing followed Liehuo Zhenren into the cockpit.

With a loud boom, the "Shenxiao Warship" departed from "Shenxiao Island" and headed into the sky!

When Li Yunjing piloted the "Azure Cloud Boat," he dared not fly high into the sky, because the demonic beasts and cultivators who dared to fly high in the sky were all top-notch experts.

If they were to encounter each other, one hit from the other party would kill Li Yunjing instantly!
The risk is too great!

The "Shenxiao Battleship," however, had no such worries and flew directly to a height of 30,000 feet.

Through the formation of the "Divine Firmament Warship," Li Yunjing could only see a vast expanse of white clouds all around him; he could see no other scenery.

"Ancestor, is this the sect's 'Divine Firmament Warship'?"

Li Yunjing looked at the driver's seat with the curiosity of a child, almost drooling.

The warships of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are the most sophisticated large-scale magical artifacts!

It represents the pinnacle of the "Heavenly Craft Hall" techniques, and is a fourth-tier warship. Even Nascent Soul Realm elders prefer to use the "Divine Firmament Warship".

Li Yunjing had ridden on it once before, but that time, there were so many people that he didn't dare to move around on the "Shenxiao Warship".

Now that only he and Master Liehuo were on the ship, Li Yunjing had the idea to do some research.

"You little brat! Go do the research! I've already set the coordinates and put it on autopilot!"

The cunning and shrewd Master Lie Huo was well aware of Li Yunjing's intentions.
He found a futon and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

The meaning is very clear: do whatever you want!

Seeing that True Man Liehuo was resting with his eyes closed, Li Yunjing was secretly pleased and immediately began to look around the "Divine Firmament Warship".

He had long been curious about this warship, and now that he had the opportunity to study it up close, he naturally wouldn't let it pass.

The warship's interior structure is complex, filled with intricate formations and runes.

Li Yunjing carefully touched the walls of the warship, feeling the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations contained within.

"As expected of 'Tiangongtang's' masterpiece, it is truly exquisite!"

Li Yunjing was filled with admiration.

He walked to the cockpit and began to carefully study the various runes and formations on the control panel.

These formations were somewhat profound for Li Yunjing, but they were all related to the "Azure Cloud Boat" and had some familiar aspects, which could help Li Yunjing get started.

"These formations are all third- or fourth-order formations. When combined and interconnected, they can generate such powerful magical energy fluctuations. It's truly incredible!"

While studying the formations, Li Yunjing secretly memorized their structure and operating principles.

Then, Li Yunjing meticulously studied every aspect of the "Shenxiao Battleship," including the fire control system, power furnace, energy mine pool, protection system, and flight system.
