Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 287 Harvest

This gain gave Yuan Changqing more confidence. He then stayed for a while to study the source techniques he had acquired before setting off again.

In the period that followed, Yuan Changqing found the hiding places of several cultivators and obtained a lot of cultivation techniques and insights from them.

Naturally, they also obtained a lot of spiritual herbs, and these herbs were much better than those Yuan Changqing had obtained in Kunlun Mountain. The herbs they obtained this time were mostly thousands of years old, and some were even tens of thousands of years old. It was a great harvest indeed.

In addition, they also obtained some miscellaneous refining materials and some sources.

As for divine weapons, there were some gains this time, but some have become ordinary items due to the passage of time and can no longer be used.

There were some things Yuan Changqing didn't dare to take out because he was too weak. He could only take what he could and then hurriedly left.

The places they encountered were simply not very friendly to a minor cultivator like Yuan Changqing, so they could only leave those places for the time being and wait for another time.

With Yuan Changqing's current strength, he's not at the point where he can act recklessly. If he really encounters a powerful opponent, he might be finished off with a single palm strike.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing wasn't too greedy; he took what he could and then left.

However, Yuan Changqing made a record of these places, hoping to come back and wipe them all out when he had enough strength in the future.

Although this time the harvest was plentiful, including cultivation techniques, scriptures, insights into the Great Dao, refining materials, and cultivation resources, it was all there was to it.

However, apart from cultivation resources, these things are only considered relatively ordinary.

However, these things are just right for Yuan Changqing right now, and they are exactly what Yuan Changqing needs at this stage.

After acquiring certain skills, Yuan Changqing will be able to consolidate his abilities for a while longer before breaking through his current level again.

After all, Yuan Changqing doesn't need anything too profound right now. Even if he had it, he might not understand it. What's suitable is the most important.

Afterwards, feeling that it was about time, Yuan Changqing headed directly towards Beijing.

...

After returning home in Beijing, they saw that Zeng Li and the others had all improved to varying degrees. Sure enough, having cultivation resources made a difference; they were no longer like before, where there was no progress at all.

Yuan Changqing returned this time intending to take his family to cultivate in the Kunlun Mountains, as that is the most suitable place for cultivation.

Moreover, after gaining those insights from this trip, Yuan Changqing will be able to reflect on them and take the opportunity to break through his current realm.

Seeing Yuan Changqing return, Yuan Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Dad, did you bring me anything good this time?"

Yuan Changqing looked at Yuan Yue'er with amusement, knowing exactly what she was up to—she just wanted to know what he had gained this time.

So, Yuan Changqing took out a piece of animal hide from his storage ring and handed it to Yuan Yue'er.

He then said, "Moon, you can take a look at the cultivation technique here. It's called the 'Red Sun Scripture,' a fire-attribute cultivation technique that's perfect for you. You can start cultivating it from now on and won't need to cultivate the Five Elements Scripture anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yue'er jumped up with joy and said, "Really? That's wonderful!"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Yes, and this technique can be cultivated to the Sendai stage, reaching the level of a great master, which is much better than what we are cultivating now."

Overjoyed, Yuan Yue'er asked, "Dad, does that mean the Crimson Sun Scripture is better than the Five Elements Scripture we're currently cultivating?"

"If we're talking about what level one can cultivate to, that's one way to put it. After all, being able to cultivate to the level of a great being is much better than only being able to cultivate the Five Elements Scripture to the Ninth Transformation of the Dragon."

"However, in terms of the sophistication of the techniques, they are exactly the opposite; the Five Elements Scripture is far more sophisticated."

"Moreover, I suspect that the Five Elements Scripture we cultivate was incomplete when I obtained it; there must have been a portion of the Sendai section missing."

At this moment, Yuan Yue'er said hesitantly, "Dad, if you say that, then should I still cultivate the Crimson Sun Scripture?"

Yuan Changqing added, "I'm giving this to you so you can cultivate the Crimson Sun Scripture; after all, it's more suitable for you."

"As for the future, you can switch when you have a better cultivation method, or when you are strong enough to create your own exclusive cultivation method."

"Ah, that would be hundreds or thousands of years ago. Besides, do I even have the strength to create my own cultivation technique?" Yuan Yue'er said, lacking confidence.

Then, he asked, "Since I already have a cultivation method that suits me, why do I need to create my own?"

Yuan Changqing explained, "Since we've come this far, let me tell you about it."

"For the initial stages of cultivation, we can use the techniques created by our predecessors; there's nothing wrong with that."

"After all, we need to cultivate, so we need cultivation methods, which means we need ready-made cultivation methods to help us improve our cultivation level."

"As for why it's necessary to create one's own cultivation method, it's like what I said before: 'Those who learn live, those who imitate me die.'"

"You must understand that the cultivation methods we practice were created by others. Therefore, the principles and theories within these methods are all based on their own insights and are not our own."

"So, the early stages of our cultivation are fine, there aren't any major problems."

"However, once our strength reaches a relatively high level, if we want to further improve our strength, we will need to have our own cultivation techniques."

"So, how do we come up with our own techniques, and how do we create them? This requires us to have our own insights and accumulate different kinds of knowledge in our daily practice."

"Only with these can we make progress and have the foundation to create our own techniques."

"Otherwise, if we blindly and rigidly cultivate, the end result will be that our cultivation level will not improve, and we can only wait for our lifespan to end."

Zeng Li then asked, "Husband, if you put it that way, do I also need to find a cultivation technique that suits me?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "You and Yue'er both have special constitutions, so you do need to find a cultivation method that suits you."

"However, it doesn't matter if you don't have it now. The Five Elements Scripture is different from other scriptures. Your current physique is also within the range of the Five Elements attributes, so it won't matter if you cultivate the Five Elements Scripture now."

Zeng Li felt much relieved after hearing this. Jiang Fen then asked, "Changqing, is it alright for your father and me, who don't have any special constitutions, to cultivate the Five Elements Scripture?"

Yuan Changqing explained further, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. With your mortal bodies, you can cultivate any type of technique."

"You should know that although the mortal body may not sound like much, it is the most inclusive and its development potential is the most incredible."

"I've mentioned the characteristics of ordinary bodies and special constitutions before, so you don't need to worry about being ordinary bodies."

"After all, as long as you two can keep improving your strength, then maybe in the later stages, your chances of breaking through will be even easier than those of us with special physiques."

Jiang Fen and Yuan Dongfang both nodded. Jiang Fen then said, "We don't really care about these things. We just want to ask if there's anything we should pay attention to in our cultivation techniques."

Yuan Changqing added, "If you ever have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me whenever I'm around."

"Cultivation requires constantly discovering and solving problems, which is also a process of enlightenment."

After hearing this, everyone said they understood. Yuan Yue'er then asked, "Dad, when are we going to cultivate in the Kunlun Mountains that you mentioned?"

Yuan Changqing replied, "I came back this time to take everyone to Kunlun Mountain for cultivation."

Then he added, "However, we need to make arrangements at home before we go, even though we are going to cultivate in the Kunlun Mountains."

"However, we can't just ignore Beijing. Let's make some arrangements first before we go there."

Yuan Dongfang then asked, "That's easy to handle. We can let Ma Hua manage the restaurant, but I'm afraid he won't be able to manage it all."

"As for our courtyard house, we can leave it to the MCA to look after."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "These are all easy to solve. We can just recruit a few more people. Besides, we've entered the cultivation realm now, so we don't need those things anymore."

"However, we can't stay in the Kunlun Mountains forever. We also need to have contact with the outside world, so we need to come back to Beijing from time to time."

"Then, having an asset to cover things up will reduce some unnecessary trouble for us."

Zeng Li then said, "Honey, when you were away for a while, Sha Zhu came to our shop and asked if we were hiring."

Yuan Changqing then said, "I remember when I was at home, didn't you say that Sha Zhu was helping Yan Jiecheng? What happened? Yan Jiecheng fired him?"

Zeng Li said with a smile, "It's funny, really. Sha Zhu really screwed over Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li."

"Honey, you don't know, do you? You probably won't believe it, but Sha Zhu's fat apprentice has been learning cooking from Sha Zhu for over ten years, and he's still a complete novice."

"Yu Li and her husband disliked that Sha Zhu was with them because he didn't do much work but earned a lot of money and had to bring groceries home every day, so they chose Fatty instead."

"In the end, Sha Zhu did quit, but it turned out that Fatty couldn't even cook a simple stir-fry properly."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "It seems that Sha Zhu still hasn't gotten rid of those bad habits he brought from the steel mill. But that's alright. We'll set some rules for Sha Zhu first, and then we can just follow them. Let's arrange it like this, and we can set off as soon as possible."

Yuan Dongfang also said, "That's right, it's better to clarify these things to avoid creating some trivial matters later."

Zeng Li nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll have someone pass on a message to Sha Zhu and ask him to come to our restaurant. We can clear things up there, and it will also free up MCA so he can manage the restaurant."

"Okay, it's decided then."
