The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple
Chapter 202 - 111: The Second Master’s Secret Passage is Actually Here (6k)

Li Shitao of Lingyun Mansion was such a person.

However, using someone else’s body always feels awkward, and it is somewhat malicious.

"May I ask, Master Uncle, what is the second method?" Zhou Qing bowed and asked.

Gao Xuan’s lips curled into a smile: "It seems you did not fancy the first method, which is understandable. The act of seizing another’s body goes against the heavenly principles, and it is hard to walk long on the great Dao through this path. As for the second method, it is actually not much different from the first; it is reconstruction."

"Your current body, molded by a Golden Core, is far superior to ordinary people. What it lacks is merely spiritual power, and the source of spiritual power is your already shattered Golden Core. This ancient book contains a secret technique; you might as well take a look."

As Gao Xuan spoke, he handed over an old book.

After Zhou Qing finished reading it, he immediately shook his head.

It turned out this secret technique required extracting at least three other Golden Cores, combined with other spiritual herbs, to reshape a new Golden Core.

Afterwards, it would be slowly nurtured within the body to adapt to it, gradually forming one’s own Golden Core.

The success rate of this method was as high as sixty percent, quite considerable, but it was likely that one could never break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime.

After all, the birth of a Nascent Soul comes from the transformation of a Golden Core. What is not yours will never truly be yours.

By that time, with the resentment and will of others remaining in the Golden Core, coupled with your own, what do you think would be born from such a transformation?

"Thank you, Master Uncle, the disciple will consider it!"

Zhou Qing put away the book and bowed respectfully again to express his gratitude.

Although the method was improper, it was still a solution that took much time and effort to find.

Taking a step back, these two methods could at least allow him to set foot on the path of cultivation again, which was far better than being a mere mortal.

Seeing this, Gao Xuan said no more and bid farewell to Mo Xingjian shortly after.

"You are a person with good luck. It would indeed be a pity if you became a mortal in this life. Some things you still have to strive for yourself. How can you know you’re incapable without trying!"

After Gao Xuan said this, he left.

Watching Gao Xuan leave, Mo Xingjian finally came down, picked up the book, and took a look.

Yan Xiaohu was about to say something, but Mo Xingjian immediately shushed him. His powerful divine sense quickly swept through the entire hall, checking everything, before he finally relaxed.

But to be safe, he still communicated with them through voice transmission.

"Although I’m not sure what his true intentions are, these two methods indeed work, but they somewhat go against heavenly harmony. Laugh if you will, but being frank, even I considered the path of body snatching during that time," Mo Xingjian said.

Zhou Qing did not respond directly but said, "I find myself unable to see through him now. Even when he said he spent a month finding these methods for me, I felt inexplicably moved."

Yan Xiaohu said, "I didn’t think much of it before, but after what he said last time on Golden Sun Peak, I find myself a bit terrified of him."

Mo Xingjian, with his hands behind his back, walked out of the hall. After a long while, he said, his face contemplative, "Perhaps your guess is right. Maybe he is not the same Senior Brother Gao he once was. Just now, the last thing he said to you might have a double meaning."

Zhou Qing nodded in understanding.

[Some things you still have to strive for yourself. How can you know you’re incapable without trying!]

He might have been saying it to Zhou Qing or to himself.

"He seems to be intentionally reminding us!" Zhou Qing frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before slowly speaking.

Last time on Golden Sun Peak, he mentioned that the Sect Leader and others were suspicious of him. This time, he specifically left such a remark. It feels like there is a deeper meaning, as if hinting at something.

Mo Xingjian nodded slightly upon hearing this, his expression serious, "He is feeling bored. Playing games alone for too long with no one noticing is indeed quite dull. If not for your frequent reminders, such words usually wouldn’t garner much attention."

Yan Xiaohu’s eyes suddenly brightened, as if he thought of something crucial, and hurriedly said, "Master, do you mean that his mission is about to be completed? Or perhaps, he is about to take action? Typically, such feelings of boredom arise only when certain matters approach their conclusion."

Mo Xingjian nodded again, acknowledging Yan Xiaohu’s guess.

Mo Xingjian nodded, then turned seriously to face the two, his voice laced with unquestionable authority, "This is no longer something you can handle. Don’t spread it around. We have our own decisions."

"Yes, Master!" The two bowed.

......

After not seeing his old hen for a few days, Yan Xiaohu began to miss it and followed along down the mountain.

"This time, breaking through to the Nascent Soul consumed an entire top-grade Spirit Stone!"

As soon as Yan Xiaohu entered the room, he couldn’t wait to pick up the old hen, gently cradling it in his arms, while softly stroking its feathers with his hand, saying to Zhou Qing with a look of heartache.

No wonder the Nascent Soul Realm is so rare, nearly eighty to ninety percent of those in the Golden Core Realm previously came from Foundation Establishment. Their lifetime limit is likely the Nascent Soul Realm.

Despite this, you still need to prepare the extremely rare Nascent Soul Formation Pill, which cannot be easily bought even if you have money.

In a place as large as Lingyun Mansion, think of how long Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu ran back and forth.

If not for meeting the rich second-generation Zhang Wanbao, they probably would have returned empty-handed this time.

Even if you manage to get one through luck, the subsequent breakthrough also requires a large amount of pure Spirit Stones.
