Chapter 191: 121, 122. Leaping Through the Mystic Realm to Visit the Little Fox Immortal (Major Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Song Cheng finished reading and quickly returned the "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra" to the Su Family then his thoughts returned to his body.

A sense of hunger attacked him, and he ran out of the cultivation room.

Outside the door, voices of mothers soothing their children still came from the small houses on both sides.

Song Cheng did not disturb them and hurriedly went to the dining hall to find something to eat.

In the dining hall, there was food left for him.

He did not care that the food was cold and started eating right away.

As he ate, he wondered, "Who wrote the ’Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra’?"

The Su Family had fled from another continent that had been destroyed.

So this "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra" might be something that the ancestors of the Su Family had figured out during the entire ’continent extinction period.’

’It seems that cultivation techniques are indeed difficult to infer.’

Just as he was thinking, a flicker of information flashed before his eyes.

[You have viewed the Mysterious Level Technique, "Xuanwu True Qi"; the probability of inferring to the Mysterious Level has increased to 0.004%]

[Each inference costs 6 points]

Song Cheng only glanced at it before quickly finishing his meal, and after he was done, he walked around the courtyard and found Sister An and Madam Tong both tending to their own children tonight.

Madam Tong’s house was noisy without stop, while Sister An’s side was very calm.

Clearly, Song An was a "little debt-collecting ghost" while Ting was a "gratitude baby."

Song Cheng scanned the houses, went to neither side, but turned and continued to the cultivation room.

Now that he had a cultivation technique, he had to learn it immediately, even if it meant not sleeping. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease.

This was being responsible to himself as well as to his family.

Otherwise, what a tragic thing it would be to "have obtained a peerless divine technique but die before having the chance to learn it"?

Before the transmigration, he had read some stories where the protagonists, despite having cultivation techniques and resources, did not cultivate desperately at once but leisurely wandered around, then hardly started training when they were inexplicably drawn into crises, struggling on the brink of death... It was truly frustrating to watch.

So, he must cultivate, setting aside everything else.

He would not be at peace until he had mastered those things.

...

...

Thump... thump thump...

What were once halted heartbeats suddenly resumed throbbing as if struck by an electric pacemaker.

In the lightless ice coffin, a pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened.

This was an unknown dark underground space...

The temperature here was extremely low, with ice stalactites hanging from the frozen soil dome, neatly arranged, dangling downwards.

There were ice flowers, ice stalagmites, ice trees, and even ice pillars rising from the ground...

Beside them, there was also an underground river, only that river had long since frozen solid, deep inside, straight from the river’s surface to the riverbed.

In the silent darkness, fourteen ice coffins lay stacked.

One of them, suddenly, slowly pushed open, and a figure emerged, even in the dim light her long legs and graceful, hot figure were visible...

The figure carefully closed the coffin lid, humming a tune, and cheerfully walked out of this icy place.

...

...

Three days later.

Midnight.

Song Cheng sat cross-legged on the roof ridge of a small courtyard, head tilted back, facing the bright moon.

With eyes closed, the bright moon in its luminous splendor suddenly turned into a large ink blob.

And the moonlight became distorted black lines, flailing wildly.

Song Cheng opened his mouth, operating the method taught by "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue," inhaling through his mouth while his soul visualized those black lines invading his body...

This was the main cultivation method of "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue," which specifically stated that only those with an Innate Ghostly Soul could cultivate it.

Song Cheng inhaled and thought, inhaled and thought...

But in these three days, he had not made the slightest progress.

The air he inhaled was just air, and visualizing the black lines invading his body was simply "pure imagination."

In three days, "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue" stubbornly showed not even an "Uninitiated" level, as if to clearly state, "You don’t have an Innate Ghostly Soul."

Song Cheng stopped his actions and continued to ponder.

These days he had been racking his brains to cultivate this technique.

Even though he kept failing, he managed to figure out something.

He found that the cultivation method of "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue" actually had some similarities to taking "Soul Strengthening Pills," and the ingredients of "Soul Strengthening Pills" also contained "the Supernatural Element of an evil spirit," which was sourced from a Ghost Servant.

Song Cheng had already looked at the recipe for "Soul Strengthening Pills."

Inside, the "Supernatural Element of an evil spirit" was extremely, extremely minute, diluted again and again, before being used in the medicine. Its effect was to break through the Yang Qi defense lines and accept moonlight. Thus, moonlight was capable of strengthening the soul.

However, combining his feeling from taking the medicine, Song Cheng speculated, "Moonlight... is poisonous."

And that unknown "gray" was used as an antidote.

Firstly, the "Supernatural Element of an evil spirit" opened up the body’s defenses, allowing it to accept moonlight.

Secondly, the moonlight strengthened the Divine Soul, but moonlight was toxic.

Lastly, "gray" would detoxify you.

Above all, this was the pharmacology of "Soul Strengthening Pill."

Combining this pharmacology, Song Cheng began to re-examine "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue."

He speculated in his mind:

Firstly, a "Ghostly Soul" could control the body, actively open the Yang Qi defenses, and allow the body to accept moonlight.

Secondly, moonlight stimulated the Ghostly Soul, making it stronger, but the moonlight was toxic.

Lastly, the practice of "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue" worked in unison with the soul and body to detoxify.

This should be the cultivation principle of "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue."

’So, if this guess is correct,

The reason I cannot find the opportunity to cultivate "Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue" is actually because... I am unable to control my body to actively open the Yang Qi defenses.

I can’t even do the first step, so naturally, there’s nothing to talk about afterward.’

Song Cheng carefully thought about the process of swallowing "Soul Strengthening Pills."
