I forge immortality with a pagoda.

"Yu Kingdom?" Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's bright eyes flashed with surprise.

She tilted her head slightly, a thoughtful look on her face. "This place name is quite unfamiliar; I've never heard of it before."

Shen Yu smiled and explained, "Yu Kingdom is located on the southern border, and its spiritual energy is not abundant. It is understandable that Fellow Daoist Lin does not know this."

Lin Qing gave a soft "Oh," and then pressed on, "In that case, Brother Shen, why did you go back?"

"I have some personal matters to attend to."

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Shen Yu's eyes.

Lin Qing paused for a moment, then said, "I wonder if there's anything I can do to help?"

Shen Yu said, "This matter is extremely risky. If Fellow Daoist Lin were to go with me, I'm afraid some unforeseen events might occur. If you were to find yourself in danger, I would be truly uneasy."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After a moment, she spoke again: "And after that, where will Brother Shen head next?"

Shen Yu pondered for a moment, then did not hide anything: "If nothing unexpected happens, we may have to go and kill Jingzong."

"Slaying the Jingzong!" Lin Qing's surprise deepened upon hearing this. "Brother Shen, are you going to seek a master and pursue the Dao? Or are you visiting a friend?"

The Lu Jing Sect is a powerful force in the demonic path, with a notorious reputation. She found it hard to associate the upright and righteous Shen Yu with such a sect.

But then she thought of Shen Yu's previous methods of turning people into rotten flesh, and felt that it was only right.

"Consider it fulfilling a promise," Shen Yu said, lowering his gaze to the tea leaves floating in his cup. "I promised a fellow Daoist that I would join the Lu Jing Sect and become a disciple."

Hearing this, the light in Lin Qing's eyes dimmed slightly. "Brother Shen is indeed exceptionally talented, to be appreciated by such a master of the Lu Jing Sect."

Shen Yu shook his head and smiled, "It was just a coincidence, nothing to do with any extraordinary talent."

"As for Fellow Daoist Lin, have you decided where you'll go after the Dharma assembly?"

She paused, raised her eyes, and looked at Shen Yu. "I was thinking that if Brother Shen were to travel the world, perhaps we could travel together and look after each other."

Seeing the undisguised disappointment in her eyes, Shen Yu asked, "With your talent and comprehension, joining a sect shouldn't be difficult, so why did you choose to become a wandering, unsettled cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's lips curled into a bitter smile: "I suppose Fellow Daoist Shen has already noticed that the magic treasures and Daoist techniques I possess are all inherited."

To be honest, I found all of these in an ancient cave dwelling.

Although there were some opportunities in that ancient cultivator's cave, they were very limited, and most of the things in the cave had lost their spiritual light.

Only the cloud-patterned vermilion brush and a copy of the "Mysterious Record of All Wonders" remained intact in the treasure box; the rest were some miscellaneous items, which I will not elaborate on.

She gently stroked the storage pouch at her waist and continued, "When I obtained this talisman, I received divine guidance from the predecessor who left behind the inheritance."

Those who cultivate the "Mysterious Records of All Wonders" must experience all aspects of the mortal world, observe all the laws of the world, and absorb the strengths of all schools of thought in order to condense the supreme Dharma seed.

Once this talisman is fully mastered, it may be comparable to supernatural powers.

If one is confined by the boundaries of a particular sect or school, one will ultimately fall into a lower category.

Shen Yu suddenly realized why Lin Qing, a mere rogue cultivator, possessed so many rare treasures.

"Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a hand, fellow Daoist."

As he spoke, Shen Yu took out several scrolls of Taoist books from his Qiankun bag.

These were all Taoist techniques he had copied down before, which he intended to sell at the market to exchange for some spirit stones.

Unfortunately, the purchase of elixirs and flying talismans had taken up too much time, so these Taoist techniques could not be used.

Lin Qing stared blankly at the various Taoist techniques, momentarily at a loss for words. "Brother Shen, where did you obtain so many Taoist techniques?"

Shen Yu simply said, "It was obtained by chance."

Seeing this, Lin Qing didn't ask any more questions. Knowing that everyone has their own destiny, she gave a graceful bow and said, "In that case, I thank Brother Shen for his generous gift."

Brother Shen helped me escape this entanglement and saved my life; I am deeply grateful. However, I am all alone and have nothing of value. Please take this "Mysterious Record of All Wonders and Truths" and study it diligently.

After speaking, Lin Qing took out a Taoist book from his bosom.

The book was bound with dark blue brocade, and six ancient seal characters were written on it. The pages had a warm luster and seemed to have a faint flow of spiritual energy.

Shen Yu was taken aback. "Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need for this. If you truly give me this method, I will know all the key points of this Mysterious Scroll. Aren't you afraid, Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Lin Qing replied calmly, "Brother Shen is joking."

If Brother Shen truly intends to harm my younger sister, whether or not he knows the secrets of the Mysterious Records, the outcome will likely be the same.

Besides, Brother Shen saved my life. If Brother Shen wants it, I will have no complaints whatsoever.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you flatter me."

Shen Yu also knew that, given Lin Qing's personality, she would never accept his favor for nothing.

If he didn't accept the Xuanlu at this moment, it would only make her uneasy.

You can't expect the other person to repay you with their body, can you?

So he said, "Since Fellow Daoist Lin has already put it this way, then I will accept your offer without further ado."

Shen Yu took the Taoist book and made an agreement with Lin Qing to return the original after the copying was completed.

After the two parted, Shen Yu hurriedly returned to Lan Yue Tower.

Today was supposed to be a lecture by Foundation Establishment cultivator Song Yangzi on the essentials of Opening Yuan Realm cultivation. As an Opening Yuan Realm cultivator, Shen Yu naturally wouldn't attend the lecture.

Inside a side room of Lanyue Tower, Shen Yu was carefully reading "The Mysterious Records of All Wonders".

"The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to Heaven and Earth. The ultimate truth is silent, yet it governs Yin and Yang. The Mysterious Register is neither a book nor a diagram, but a covenant between Heaven and Earth. He who holds this covenant can communicate with the unseen and the visible, and understand all transformations..."

Shen Yu spent the whole day looking at it, but he only scratched the surface and didn't grasp the true meaning.

But at least he now knows the general outline of what this Taoist book is about.

"This method of practice places the greatest emphasis on comprehension and experience."

Cultivators need to observe all aspects of life in the mortal world and comprehend the principles of all laws.

Each gain can be condensed into the corresponding Dao patterns on the True Talisman.

If one can condense the Myriad Manifestations Mysterious Record, a single thought can cause all laws to follow, comparable to supreme supernatural powers.

"This cultivation method is quite interesting." Shen Yu closed the book and pondered, "The senior who created this cultivation method was truly a genius. He created this method at the Foundation Establishment stage and then perfected it after reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

At this point, Shen Yu understood that the cultivation technique left to Lin Qing was definitely not left by that Nascent Soul senior himself, but by a cultivator who later obtained the technique.

Otherwise, the magical treasures and cultivation resources she obtained would far exceed what she has now.

Shen Yu closed the Taoist book, not intending to study it immediately.

This method is indeed a technique of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential. If one is not familiar with other methods, its power is at most similar to that of inferior Taoist techniques.

He still focuses on the Fierce Wind Summoning Technique.

Since he used all his fiery energy to kill Wang Lishan, he has been unable to use his Fierce Nether Wind Summoning Technique again.

Although he has been frequently going to Scorching Flame Mountain to condense flames these days, he has only managed to accumulate a dozen or so so far, which is quite a headache for him.
