I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"Master, I would like to ask whether the Hunyuan Gong can be cultivated."

Su Changming cupped his hands and asked.

"This technique requires three elemental roots, and you have five, so you can naturally cultivate it. However, this technique is not easy to cultivate, and only those with exceptional talent can enter. It also consumes a great deal of cultivation resources. The Flowing Cloud Sect can support your cultivation up to the Foundation Establishment stage, but you will have to acquire the resources yourself after that."

This skill is difficult, and you may not make any progress after practicing it. Whether you are willing to practice it is up to you.

He Chongguang said calmly.

In fact, even if Su Changming had cultivated to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the Flowing Cloud Sect could have provided the resources, but what sect would support someone indefinitely? Once he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, coupled with this unparalleled cultivation technique among his peers, he could earn spirit stones on his own.

After all, no cultivator can have a smooth journey just by cultivating; fighting and killing are common occurrences.

"Master, you misunderstand. What I was saying wasn't about cultivation difficulties. I've already understood this technique, and cultivating it isn't a problem for me. I'm just worried about..."

Su Changming looked troubled.

"You little rascal, judging from your words, this skill is not worth mentioning at all, yet you worry that Huang Youhui is plotting against you?"

He Chongguang couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

As a mere Qi Refining cultivator with low strength, what kind of thoughts could a Core Formation cultivator possibly have about you?

"Don't worry, Huang Youhui won't harm you, and of course... neither will I."

When I first taught you the Purple Cloud Technique, it was only because I had a good impression of you. But you have remarkable comprehension and know how to hide your talents, so I really had the idea of ​​taking you as my disciple.

However, as your teacher, I also need to cultivate on weekdays, so I won't have much free time to teach you.

He Chongguang added.

"I see……"

Su Changming nodded, and also learned that the sect leader's name was Huang Youhui.

Did Master He decide to take me on as his apprentice because I have good comprehension?

He himself said he didn't have time to teach others, so it's no wonder he would choose a disciple with such outstanding "comprehension".

However, Master He is so young, yet he has the cultivation of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Why is he unwilling to teach disciples, but is so eager to take them in?

Su Changming fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Master said that I know how to conceal my talents, but unfortunately I lack the skill to do so. I wonder if Master could..."

Su Changming perfectly demonstrated what it means to strike while the iron is hot, and immediately asked for the Concealing Breath Technique.

"You sly fox, you really know how to ask for favors. Since you find even the Hunyuan Gong easy, what stage have you reached in your Sword Sky Technique?"

He Chongguang asked.

"Reporting to Master, the Sword Soaring Technique is complete..."

Su Changming was about to speak when He Chongguang raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, you'll find out exactly how far you've progressed in your cultivation once you have a match with the disciple who won first place in the competition. If you can't win, don't ask me for it anymore. Wait until you can defeat him before you come to me for it."

Go on... go on...

He Chongguang suddenly laughed and waved his hand, sending a gentle burst of spiritual energy out of the main hall.

Although this spiritual energy is weak, it has an unparalleled, almost overwhelming, feeling.

"So this is what a Foundation Establishment cultivator is like...?"

Su Changming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

When I was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, I only felt that my master's methods were incredibly strange. Now that I'm at the ninth level of Qi Refining, I feel even more that he is unmatched.

The higher one's level of understanding, the more one can sense the terror of high-level cultivators.

I wonder when I'll be able to reach that level...

Even those who are only at the Foundation Establishment stage have the ability to fly, allowing them to travel far and wide and seek opportunities.

Unlike Qi Refining cultivators who are confined to a corner of the world.

Back in the cave, it was already late at night, and Su Rui had long since gone to sleep.

Su Changming had no intention of sleeping; instead, he picked up the Hunyuan Gong and began to study it carefully.

After completing the research, he took a Qi-nourishing fruit to prepare thoroughly.

Since the effects of the "Simin Fruit" had not yet worn off, taking it again would be a waste. However, Su Changming was going to dissipate his powers during this trip, so he had to be extremely careful.

The blessing of enlightenment is not only manifested in understanding the Dharma, but also in a perception of the body that far exceeds the ordinary.

If he had to describe it, after taking the Smino's Fruit, he felt that he had temporarily suppressed useless emotions, all his thoughts moved at will, all his senses were amplified a hundredfold, and he had perfect control over every move of his body.

In this state, whether it is understanding the Dharma, practicing cultivation, or contemplating, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Let's begin dispersing our power..."

Su Changming set up a first-level warning array around him, left a note, and began to slowly prepare.

If he were to lose his powers and be seriously injured, he could still wake up Su Rui and have her take him to Master He for help.

"First is the Jade White Lotus. I already know the effects of this medicine, and it's more than enough to repair the damage to the meridians caused by the dissipation of internal energy."

The meridians in the human body are intricate and complex, resembling a series of crisscrossing highways.

Above it are numerous spiritual caves, some large and small, some hidden and dark, others bright and clear.

The dark area represents his unexplored spiritual cave, while the bright area represents the one that has already been opened.

Although he has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, most of his spiritual acupoints are still unopened.

Spiritual caves are the storage points for magical power, while meridians are the channels through which magical power is transported.

He has opened up a total of 200 meridians and 120 acupoints at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, there are still 160 meridians and 360 acupoints that have not been opened.

During the Qi Refining stage, the spiritual energy in the body is in the form of airflow. Once enough energy has accumulated, the airflow transforms into a liquid state, and the dantian expands to a radius of three inches, which is the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, thanks to the power-enhancing effect of the Purple Cloud Technique, Su Changming could clearly perceive through his internal vision that some meridians and acupoints were covered with a faint purple glow.

"Could it be that the purple aura can strengthen the meridians, acupoints, and even the dantian?"

Su Changming couldn't help but guess.

However, at this time, the purple energy in his body was still small, only a dozen strands, which attached to his meridians and acupoints along with the spiritual energy. If he hadn't taken the "Agile Fruit" and had amazing perception, he probably wouldn't have noticed the abnormality at all.

"To know whether the purple aura has any extraordinary enhancing effects, it would probably require hundreds of years of painstaking accumulation..."

Su Changming couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that for a cultivator, several hundred years did not seem like a long time. Foundation Establishment cultivators lived for two hundred years, Core Formation cultivators for five hundred years, and Core Formation cultivators for one thousand years.

He didn't believe he possessed such heaven-defying ability as appraisal and upgrading, since he couldn't even cultivate to the Golden Core stage.

After sensing the condition of his internal meridians, Su Changming slowly took a deep breath.

The next moment, with a thought, he drove his spiritual energy to surge through his meridians, completely destroying the energy flow path constructed by the Water Spirit Technique.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within Su Changming's meridians quickly became unbalanced, rushing wildly through the meridians and acupoints, turning many of his meridians into sieves.

Fortunately, with the blessing of the Minming Fruit, he calmly guided the remaining spiritual energy to flow evenly into the various acupoints, without causing too much harm to his body.

Once the circulation of the Water Spirit Technique had completely disappeared, this dissipation of power was also declared over.

Seeing this, Su Changming slowly opened his eyes and swallowed a piece of jade white lotus.

"It's not very painful, about the same as the pain of cultivating with True Spirit Grass."

he murmured.

It's time to start practicing Hunyuan Gong...
