Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

Besides several stacks of talismans, there was also a pile of lotus-shaped magical artifacts on the ground. These artifacts were only of medium grade and naturally did not catch the eye of Old Monster Qiong.

"Ancestor, apart from cultivation, weapon forging, and talisman making, Young Master Chen basically never leaves his cave. He has pushed all the miscellaneous tasks onto this servant."

Upon hearing Xiao Qing's report, Old Monster Qiong showed little joy. He simply asked calmly again, "How is her cultivation level?"

"Through the sensing artifact, the young master should have already mastered the Yin-Yang Two Qi Technique and reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining."

"Oh, it hasn't disappointed me after all."

Only after hearing this did a smile appear on Old Monster Qiong's face. He then picked up a magical artifact and began to examine it without even looking up.

"Have Chen Xuanzhou come here."

"yes!"

Xiaoqing bowed and withdrew, but her face was slightly pale when she returned.

"This kid really has exceptional comprehension. In just six months, he not only became a weapon refiner, but he also has the ability to modify existing techniques."

Hopefully, this kid won't follow in the footsteps of his senior brothers, whose cleverness backfired.

Upon receiving Xiao Qing's message, Chen Xuanzhou was not surprised at all. He immediately got up, mounted his flying sword, and headed towards Old Monster Qiong.

"Disciple Chen Xuanzhou greets Master!"

As soon as he landed, he bowed and paid his respects.

Then Chen Xuanzhou felt a chill, as if he had been stripped of his underwear and was standing in the wind and snow in the dead of winter.

He almost instinctively took a step back, but his remaining rationality suppressed his fear, allowing him to bend over even straighter.

"Not bad, the foundation is solid, and the original techniques have not been completely eliminated. Instead, the Yin and Yang energies are used as a cauldron to temper the original magic power."

Such a foundational foundation doesn't affect the subsequent cultivation and transition of techniques; you truly possess exceptional talent!

"I am unworthy of such praise from Master. These are all the profound techniques that Master has passed on to me. I have only glimpsed a small part of them, yet I have already benefited immensely from them."

The opponent's show of force just now shattered all his arrogance.

"Don't try to flatter me. Although I may not be as intelligent as you, a junior, I still have good judgment."

Speaking of this, there was a complex look in his eyes. Being surpassed by his own "disciple" in his area of ​​expertise, he didn't know whether to feel happy or not.

"Tell me your true feelings about my technique; there's no need for empty talk."

When he uttered the last sentence, his eyes gleamed with a hidden light as he stared intently at Chen Xuanzhou, like a mountain lord looking down on an ant.

Chen Xuanzhou's eyes glazed over slightly: "Master's cultivation method appears to be a top-notch Yin-Yang Dao, but in reality, it uses Yin-Yang energy to purify the mana within the body."

I once heard of a top-tier secret technique called the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, which emphasizes using all things as materials to refine the essence of heaven and earth. I imagine my master also drew upon the theory of this technique.

"Explain in more detail! That way you can spot any errors or omissions."

"Yes, disciple has also discovered that this technique should be in its early stages. It cultivates the power of the sun and moon to evolve the yin and yang energies. Although it is stronger than ordinary methods, it has lost some of its purity and is prone to yin and yang repulsion in the later stages."

It is extremely difficult to treat, and may even be life-threatening.

Upon hearing this, the divine light in Qiong Laoguai's eyes slowly faded, while Chen Xuanzhou looked terrified, his face turning slightly pale.

"Alright, I'm just giving you a little warning because I've seen you tinkering with these little gadgets lately and I'm afraid you'll get distracted by them. You should focus on Foundation Establishment for now, and you can put everything else aside for now."

Chen Xuanzhou quickly stood up and said.

"Master is right. I am only studying this magical artifact in order to improve my cultivation."

As he spoke, he immediately took out the Lotus Crossing from his storage bag. Without waiting for a question, he took out several mid-grade spirit stones and placed them in the Lotus Crossing, then sat cross-legged on it.

A surge of spiritual energy, several times stronger than that within Chen Xuanzhou's cave, immediately poured into his body from within the lotus seat.

Then Chen Xuanzhou used the Zhen character technique to refine these magical powers, and the towering pillar in his dantian, now stained with black and white, was like a yin-yang millstone, further purifying the magical powers.

At first, when he saw Chen Xuanzhou use the empowerment method, Old Monster Qiong was somewhat dismissive and even angry at him for neglecting his foundation.

But he was slightly shocked when he saw Chen Xuanzhou's subsequent actions.

It wasn't that Chen Xuanzhou's secret technique was particularly powerful; in his eyes, such a cobbled-together thing was useless. The problem was that such exquisite control, preventing any errors in any part, was the most important aspect that troubled him.

Of course, Chen Xuanzhou was able to do it only because these secret techniques were relatively low-level, and the difficulty of the problems he encountered was not on the same level.

But at least it gave him a glimmer of hope.

When Chen Xuanzhou finished refining the magic power, he felt that this was equivalent to meditating in his own cave for half a month, and he was truly envious.

This high-level spiritual vein is truly amazing, and it has strengthened his resolve that his ancestral land must choose a high-level spiritual vein.

"Hmm, the magic weapon is so-so, but the fusion of your bunch of secret techniques is indeed quite good."

Old Monster Qiong's words brought Chen Xuanzhou back to his senses.

"What Master said is true. This magic artifact was originally prepared for the future Chen family. However, Master also knows that even if we spare no expense on spirit stones, this magic artifact is not suitable for long-term use."

These secret techniques of the disciple were originally just in their infancy, and he himself had to be very careful when practicing them, let alone others.

So the disciple thought that if he could refine a magic weapon, he could integrate the Zhen character technique into it and use it to perform the technique without having to cultivate it himself.

This way, the problem can be easily solved, which is why the disciple studies the art of weapon crafting.

Following this logic, could we also forge a magical artifact or a rare treasure to resolve the issue of Yin and Yang energies?

Upon hearing Chen Xuanzhou's explanation, Qiong Laoguai did not show much joy on his face as he had expected.

"I have already tried your idea, but it is no easier than modifying the cultivation method. In fact, it is even more difficult. Not to mention anything else, just collecting spiritual materials is not an easy task."

Moreover, the difficulty of crafting such magical artifacts is not low.

Even considering his master's wealth, he only tried twice before having to give up.

"Master, I believe that it is not necessarily necessary to have a magic weapon with Yin and Yang attributes. It is just necessary to have a buffer between Yin and Yang energies so that they do not become too explosive."

This allows us to use this as a foundation to try other ways to modify the technique. By approaching it from multiple angles, the probability of success is bound to be higher.

After Chen Xuanzhou finished speaking, he did not hear a reply. However, he did not dare to look up, let alone use his divine sense.
