My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 248 Agreement
One year,

Shen Changchuan also used the sect's collection to cultivate the basic alchemy techniques and the novice array master inheritance he had previously obtained to the point of 100% perfection.

Unfortunately,

Even rudimentary alchemy techniques can only produce pills needed by cultivators at lower levels of the Qi Refining stage.
As for higher-level cultivation pills, they are beyond his current ability to refine.

Therefore, during this year of practicing alchemy,
Besides obtaining some practice byproducts through selling in Dawan Village to recoup some spirit stone income,
The numerous waste pills generated during practice benefited Xiao Feng, allowing him to quickly advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It didn't bring much benefit to Shen Changchuan.

wrong,

It's not entirely without its advantages.

Cultivating various arts and skills is itself a way to relax and unwind after the fatigue from arduous training.

Moreover, during this process,
Shen Changchuan discovered that with each practice session, his mastery of his own divine sense was becoming increasingly profound.

Compared to alchemy,

The completion of the novice array master's inheritance brought great benefits to Shen Changchuan.

This benefit dates back to a year ago.

One year ago,

Shen Changchuan unexpectedly discovered a treasure trove hidden beneath the Dawan River.

From it he obtained a seedling of Biyuan waterweed and a token engraved with the character "Xiang".

After some investigation and a series of subsequent events, Shen Changchuan roughly understood the reason behind it.
After the incident, they obtained a location for a hidden treasure, which led them to the ruins of a cave in a secluded place in the Monster Forest.

But unfortunately,
The cave ruins, suspected to be left behind by a Nascent Soul Realm disciple who escaped from the Elephant Mountain Sect, are sealed by an extremely powerful magic array, making it difficult to enter even with a token.

At that time, Shen Changchuan had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.
We'll open it when we have the resources.

As Shen Changchuan perfected his training as a beginner array master, he secretly visited the ruins of that cave dwelling during a trip back to Dawan Village under the pretext of going out.

With his knowledge of formations and the token in his hand, Shen Changchuan finally managed to open the sealed formation and enter.

After spending a lot of effort,
The finds within the cave ruins left Shen Changchuan somewhat disappointed.

That cave dwelling seemed to be merely a temporary stop for that cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

The remains of the cave's owner were not found inside, so naturally, no inheritance was obtained.

The cave contains some spirit stones, but not many.

There are also pills on the shelves that are most likely used by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage for cultivation.

However, two or three hundred years have passed, and the medicinal power of those pills that were not well preserved has almost been lost, turning them into a pile of waste.

Compared to the legacy of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, the value of these things is probably negligible.

Shen Changchuan was definitely disappointed.

Fortunately, he didn't end up empty-handed.
Because in one of the rooms inside the cave, he discovered many jade slips containing notes. These notes recorded numerous anecdotes from the cultivation world, as well as various spells, including spells at the Nascent Soul stage, and some cultivation insights and inheritances.

These kinds of knowledge can further expand Shen Changchuan's knowledge base.

And inside,
Shen Changchuan considered him to have gained the most.
He also felt that the benefits he received from mastering the basic array formation technique far outweighed those from the alchemy technique.
It is precisely in this that,
The advanced method with the light of the Azure Wood Sword—

A divine technique called the Three Azure Forest Sword Formation!
It should be noted that Shen Changchuan has never given up searching for the next step in the advancement of the Azure Wood Sword Light in the market these days.

Unfortunately, all of this came to nothing.

Unexpectedly, he obtained the complete method for advancing to the next level here.

And it's actually a sword formation technique!
Shen Changchuan did not know the meaning of this supernatural power's name.
However, none of the thousands of spells he had heard of were called supernatural powers, which was enough for him to understand the preciousness of supernatural powers!
And this is also true,
Just by glancing at its description, one can feel the terrifying power of this sword formation technique!
However, despite this,

However, Shen Changchuan did not lose his mind because of this, and immediately began to cultivate based on the progress bar panel.

He considered something deeper.
"This cave dwelling site is suspected to have been left behind by the disciples of the Xiangshan Sect who managed to escape back then... In other words, it is the remnant of an enemy sect."

"Since the Three Azure Forest Sword Formation is so powerful, it might have been a famous existence in the Elephant Mountain Sect back then... Let's ask our master about this first, to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."

To avoid being regarded as a remnant of the Xiangshan Sect,
Shen Changchuan decided to be frank with his master about this matter and ask for his opinion first.

Anyway, given You Longzi's background and status,
They wouldn't even bother with his supernatural abilities.

"Back then, the Xiangshan Sect was destroyed by my Immortal Sect. Although there were some inside stories... the cultivation methods of the Xiangshan Sect were also among the orthodox paths, not some messy demonic or evil methods, so there was no need to prohibit their cultivation."

"Furthermore, after the Xiangshan Sect was destroyed, many of the classic texts and cultivation methods collected within the sect were incorporated into the Immortal Sect's library, becoming part of the Immortal Sect's foundation."

"These resources are open to all disciples of the sect, and anyone can exchange them for cultivation points."

"How could a celestial sect possibly label its disciples as remnants of an enemy simply because they practiced its methods?"

"If that's the case, then do sect disciples still need to cultivate the resources and inheritances they gain from their external training?"

"You can focus on cultivating this supernatural power."

You Longzi was somewhat speechless at the concerns raised by Shen Changchuan.

Then I explained it to him in detail.

However, at the same time,

You Longzi also offered Shen Changchuan a word of advice:
"It seems you intend to successfully cultivate this divine ability and then condense it into a seed of divine ability during the Foundation Establishment stage before advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, right? I advise you not to waste your energy..."

"Even among geniuses with powerful divine senses who can separate their bodies before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, only one or two out of ten can successfully condense a spiritual body during the Foundation Establishment stage... And if they want to go further on this foundation and successfully condense the seeds of divine abilities, such people are one in ten thousand!"

Many who once considered themselves geniuses have tried, only to end up with nothing and wasted their prime years.

You Longzi didn't want Shen Changchuan to follow in his footsteps.

"But Master, what if I succeed?"

You Longzi was taken aback.
He then burst into laughter:
"If you really succeed, then something wonderful will happen to you!"
