Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

As the night grew deeper, in the center of the main hall of the cave dwelling, spiritual light flowed, and people gathered in great numbers.

Yao Han sat cross-legged on the futon, with faint golden and blue spiritual light emanating from his body. This was the foundation-building method of the "Nine Nether Profound Gold True Explanation".

At this moment, he had completely integrated the Qi of Qian Yuan True Crystal into his spiritual veins, and also drawn the essence of Qingming Jade Marrow to nourish his meridians. His magical power was no longer scattered and flowing randomly, but instead, following the rhythm of his meridians, it silently gathered into a vortex.

Deep within the dantian, the pure gold magic power that originally flowed according to the "Blazing Light Technique" suddenly acquired a new order.

A wisp of Qian Yuan golden energy, like a core, draws and pulls the Qingming water essence to circulate and flow around it. The golden and blue spiritual light continuously coils, contracts, and expands in the dantian, unlike the swelling and pain when tempering the body with dragon energy, instead presenting a clear and lustrous gathering and swirling appearance.

As time went by, the strange magical power spun faster and faster, eventually condensing into a vortex-shaped vortex about three inches in diameter.

The cyclone is neither metal nor water, but rather metal containing water and water containing metal, resembling a deep sea abyss, with an extremely sharp golden crystal light condensed at its center, and the outer edge being smooth, water-like swirling patterns.

As the swirling vortex of light stabilized and took shape within his dantian, Yao Han's entire body shone with a surge of spiritual light, which then skyrocketed!

It was not the pure gold of before, but a cool, flowing light of gold and blue that emanated from the body's acupoints and limbs.

The light rose and fell, neither gathering nor dispersing, but instead coiled itself into countless tiny, stone-like swirling patterns, flickering and circling in mid-air.

For a moment, it seemed as if a galaxy was hanging upside down inside the cave, forming a huge golden-blue light curtain around the spiritual chamber, which slowly rotated in one direction, a truly beautiful sight.

Yao Han sat quietly within the light screen. As the cultivation technique circulated, the tiny, star-like ripples continuously converged towards the top of his head, settling in one place and merging into one, transforming from a sky full of stars into a dazzling Milky Way.

Once this swirling light was complete, the metal and water elemental energies inside and outside the cave seemed to have found a sudden opening, and their spiritual energy surged and merged.

Beneath the vast sky and between the islands, golden-blue clouds drift and gather in the clear streams and forests, transforming into wisps of light that add a striking touch of brightness to the crimson landscape.

As the light barrier nearly solidified, Yao Han changed his hand seals, and all the spiritual light flashed for a moment before being absorbed into his body. His aura subsided, and the light disappeared.

Yao Han suddenly opened his eyes, and strange spiritual light flashed in his pupils. His left pupil was gold and his right pupil was blue, which looked very strange and had a kind of evil feeling.

He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and two vortexes of light, each the size of a human head, appeared in mid-air, one gold and one blue, slowly rotating in different directions.

With his palms together, the two swirling lights converged into one, forming a yin-yang symbol. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into an extremely thin beam of light, resembling both a fine thread and a flying needle. It surged and intertwined within the cave, its sound like breaking waves and its momentum like thunder!

The hand seals changed again, the flying needle stopped, golden light suddenly rose, the needle shadow transformed into a blade, one became three, and where the blade struck, the flow of magic danced wildly and the spiritual breath was endless.

With a thought, the golden light gradually faded, and the watery energy surged forth. The sound of waves rolled and echoed within the cave. After a short while, a clear, round mirror appeared before him, crystal clear and its size was up to him.

After trying it out, Yao Han formed a Tai Chi hand seal, finally dispelling the spell. He stood still, muttering to himself:

"Gold is born from water, its source inexhaustible; water contains gold, its edge unyielding; with a single swirl, all things change; with a single gleam, all laws cease. The True Understanding of the Nine Netherworld Profound Gold—I have finally mastered it!"

"However, this can only be considered a minor achievement at present. Only when these two swirling lights are cultivated to the size of a millstone will they be considered to have reached the great achievement in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Entangling Silk, Spinning Needle, Golden Blade, Whirlpool, Water Mirror, plus the technique 'Tracing Light', are the six major methods of this technique during the foundation-building stage. They all originate from the transformation of Spinning Light. Although they can also be changed at will according to one's thoughts, currently, only by using the techniques according to these six methods can their power be maximized."

"However, we'll have to test its power in actual combat to find out. I'm sure the Flying Clouds lineage's inherited techniques won't disappoint me."

Feeling the immense magical power flowing through his dantian meridians, Yao Han was in high spirits, feeling stronger than ever before.

He stretched lazily in his cave and looked at the pool beside him—before he began his cultivation, he had released Xiao Yuan from the bracelet to have it guard him.

"How many days did my cultivation take this time?"

With a gurgling sound, the snake's tail emerged from the pool, drawing a number on the stone wall.

"Only five days have passed?"

Yao Han was taken aback; this timeframe was far beyond his expectations. He had thought at least a month had passed.

Such rapid progress must be thanks to those two precious spiritual materials.

I remember Jiang Fanyu said before that he would reply within half a month, and it seems that he did not miss the deadline and there is still time.

Since that's the case, why not take advantage of these few days to learn the "Cold River Radiance" technique as well? That way, he'll have another way to save his life.

……

Seven more days passed. Above the waters near Feixia Island, a faint, almost imperceptible golden light flashed through the clouds and disappeared in an instant, traversing endless waters and landing on the island.

As the light spots dispersed, Yao Han's figure suddenly appeared in the previously deserted forest. When he landed, not even a single leaf was disturbed, as if he had always been there and had simply put away his concealment technique.

Although his expression remained calm, the joy in his eyes was unmistakable.

The extraordinary nature of "Han Chuan Ye Guang" far exceeded his previous expectations, which made him very satisfied.

For the past seven days, he has been practicing this escape technique in the nearby waters and has gradually mastered its secrets.

While I can't say I'm completely proficient, I could definitely use it in a crisis.

Moreover, he did not feel much pain during the cultivation process; the "intense pain" described in the jade slip did not happen to him.

Yao Han later reflected that this might be related to his "Dragon Qi Body," which greatly reduced the burden on his physical body, allowing it to withstand the strain.

Another possibility is that he had mastered the Nine Nether Profound Gold True Explanation beforehand. This Cold River Radiance was already closely connected with this technique, and after laying a solid foundation, his cultivation became smoother and more fluid.

Whatever the reason, it did help him a lot, and he quickly mastered Han Chuan Ye Guang.

Consuming one-fifth of his mana, he can instantly travel a hundred miles away, and he can activate it repeatedly. Once he has fully mastered this technique, unless he is a cultivator who specializes in escape techniques, no one below the Core Formation stage can stop him.

Yao Han stood still, holding a spirit stone in his hand to replenish his magic power and take a short breath.

Now that these two techniques have been initially mastered, the next step is to purchase some magical artifacts.

He was still unaware of the exact strength of the defensive techniques within the Nine Nether Profound Gold True Explanation, since cultivation techniques, unlike magical artifacts and treasures, did not have different grades.

It's always good to buy more things to have on hand, since he's already saved up quite a few spirit stones, so why not spend them?

It seems that we will have to make a trip to the market along the way.

After Yao Han finished adjusting his breathing, he put the spirit stones that had lost some of their spiritual power back into his storage bag and looked up at the sky.

There's no better time than now. Since there's nothing else urgent to do, I might as well go find Jiang Fanyu directly.

"Huh, what's that...?"
