Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 43

Ch 43: It Turns Out It Was All Wrong!

A few days later, Qingyuan Temple. The death of Yan Hong completely disrupted the entire extermination plan, and it ended without a conclusion. The peaks suffered deaths and injuries, but Dan Wu and Wei Xing returned to Dan Peak unscathed.

Master summoned them immediately and asked about the situation. Wei Xing explained that his strength was low. When Fairy Yan Hong fought with Old Taoist Xuan Yun, he hid and didn’t know what happened afterward. Mainly seeing that Dan Wu was fine, he dismissed the two of them.

Later, people from the sect came to investigate. Many people returned, and no one would pay attention to a small Qi Breath like him. To reduce attention, Wei Xing stayed in his cave abode and didn’t go out.

“Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu,” Dan Qi rushed over in a panic.

Wei Xing opened the courtyard gate, looked at Dan Qi’s flustered appearance, and asked, “Seventh Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Xiao Jiu, are you okay?” Dan Qi circled Wei Xing, very concerned.

Wei Xing quickly said that he was fine, and even turned around and said, “I’m fine, I’m fine.” In the end, he couldn’t bear the pain in his ribs and cried out.

Dan Qi hurriedly took Wei Xing back to the cave abode, looked at the wound on his body, and said with pity, “Poor Xiao Jiu, bear with it. Senior Brother still knows some medical skills.” Dan Qi straightened Wei Xing’s ribs, gave him healing pills, and looked at his silent junior brother with a face full of heartache.

Since learning that his junior brother was injured, Dan Qi would come early every day to check on Wei Xing’s injuries. Half a month later, Wei Xing had recovered with the help of pills.

Inside the cave abode, Wei Xing opened the storage bag full of blood stains. Ling Xiao had handed it to him personally before he died. He had been hesitant to open it, but now that his mood had calmed down a lot, he opened it with trembling hands.

There were many things in the storage bag, including spirit stones, talisman techniques, talisman corpse refining methods, cultivation methods, pill formulas, formations, and so on.

Wei Xing took out the cultivation methods that Ling Xiao practiced. There were two jade slips, one named ‘Flying Sword Technique’ and the other named ‘Profound Thunder Orthodox Method’. Both cultivation methods went up to the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

Wei Xing looked at the jade slip in his left hand and said, “Presumably this is the cultivation method Ling Xiao used to kill Yan Hong with that flying sword.”

Looking at the jade slip in his right hand, remembering how Old Taoist Xuan Yun used lightning so impressively that day, Wei Xing whispered, “This should be the thunder cultivation method used by that cheap master.”

The Qi Breath cultivation method was very detailed, and there were many annotations next to it. Wei Xing looked at it, his eyes slightly red: “This is Ling Xiao’s cultivation experience.”

However, the more Wei Xing looked, the more shocked he became. This Qi Breath cultivation method was very detailed due to Ling Xiao’s annotations, but it was completely different from the Qingyuan Qi Breath chapter given by the temple when he first entered.

Ling Xiao’s Flying Sword Technique clearly introduced the formation process of the Qi Cyclone, and forming a Qi Cyclone in the Dantian was considered the entry to Qi Breath.

As the Qi Cyclone is cultivated, it will continue to grow, and eventually collapse to form a pill-sized Qi Pill. Spiritual energy will breathe and live here, providing spiritual power for the cultivator.

Two Qi Pills will form in the Dantian in the Mid-Stage Qi Breath.

Three Qi Pills will form in the Late Stage Qi Breath.

Qi Breath Great Perfection will gradually form the three Qi Pills into one circular Qi Pill.

When the Qi Pill is really formed, it is also the time to break through to the Qi Refining Stage.

Wei Xing looked at the Qingyuan Qi Breath in his hand, which clearly stated that Qi Cyclones were formed in the acupoints all over the body, and finally a Qi Pill was formed in the Dantian.

The cultivation methods are completely different!

“Which one is correct? Or is the one he said the right path!” Wei Xing suddenly felt that he had fallen into a huge scam from the beginning of entering the temple.

After a while, Wei Xing figured it out: “Since Ling Xiao saved me in times of crisis, there is no need to use a fake cultivation method to deceive me, and these genuine annotations, if not for a long time of cultivation experience, it is impossible to write them.”

“In this way, the cultivation methods of the disciples in the temple are all wrong! Or does someone want them to cultivate like this?” Wei Xing thought he already knew the secrets of the temple, but now it seems that the secrets of this Qingyuan Temple are far more complicated than he imagined.

Wei Xing suddenly thought of one thing. When Yan Hong died that day, he took away her storage bag and the lost magic tools. Since he wanted to know more, her storage bag must have more valuable clues.

Wei Xing quickly took out the red storage bag, red skull, and red rope from the storage bag. Without the supply of spiritual power, the red skull and rope were like dead objects.

Wei Xing tried several times and found that he could not open the storage bag by his own means. There was a formation guarding the storage bag. When his spiritual power was input, the formation on the storage bag glowed, and then the spiritual power was bounced back, with no effect at all. Even if he used all his spiritual power, he could not open the red storage bag.

“It seems that if I want to open it, I must first break the formation on the storage bag.” Wei Xing stared at the storage bag and said, “I don’t have a formation breaking method. I have seen all the formations in the Central Peak Exchange Pavilion, and there is no formation breaking formation that can be exchanged. Presumably, the Exchange Pavilion is just some basic techniques from each peak that are taken out for exchange, hehe.”

“Wait, formation,” Wei Xing thought of the team that chased and killed Ling Xiao that day. There was a Formation Peak disciple, presumably there was a formation breaking method in his storage bag.

But the result was very regrettable. After Wei Xing opened the storage bag of the Formation Peak disciple, he found that the formations inside were mainly Spirit Gathering Arrays, some concealment formations, and a small number of defensive formations. There was no mention of formation breaking methods!

Wei Xing couldn’t figure it out: “Strange, how could a dignified Formation Peak disciple only learn these formations.”

As soon as he said this, he recalled what he had asked Senior Brother Dan Qi ━ “Why does Dan Peak only have Qi and Blood Replenishment and Spirit Gathering pills? Why are there no healing or attack pills?”

“Could it be that the disciples of each peak in the entire temple are learning incomplete cultivation methods?” Wei Xing vaguely guessed the answer.

In order to verify, Wei Xing quickly took out the storage bags of the two Talisman Peak disciples and the two Beast Peak disciples that day, and carefully read the cultivation methods one by one, and then he discovered that the answer was indeed what he had guessed!

“The cultivation methods of the two Beast Peak disciples only have Beast Mastery and Beast Transformation Techniques. The same is true for the two Late Stage Talisman Peak disciples. There are only some simple attack talismans, and the spiritual power is stored in the talismans in advance. The attack methods are so simple!” Wei Xing suddenly realized and continued: “No wonder so many people are not Ling Xiao’s opponents!”

Wei Xing compared the cultivation methods of each peak and found that they all lacked healing and attack cultivation methods, and muttered: “It seems that this Qingyuan Temple did it intentionally!”

Looking at the cultivation methods of each peak placed in front of him, Wei Xing quickly took out all the cultivation methods from the storage bag Ling Xiao gave him and placed them next to him.

Wei Xing first took out the pill formula and read it carefully. Just looking at the realm classification of the pill formula, it went all the way to the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

The specific classification is divided into basic and advanced. The basic chapter alone has Qi and Blood Replenishment, Foundation Strengthening, and Recovery Healing pills. The advanced pills even have Realm-Breaking pills, attack pills, potential stimulating pills, and even a separate category for poison pills!

Looking at the pill formula classification, the more Wei Xing looked, the more excited and excited he became: “So that’s it, so this is the complete pill formula!”

Wei Xing then saw the description of the Pill Fire. The classification of the Pill Fire was no different from the Pill Dao Annotations in his hand, but later he saw that the metal attribute pills were golden yellow, good at refining attack and realm-breaking pills, the wood attribute Pill Fire was cyan, good at refining healing and recovery pills, the water attribute Pill Fire was white, good at refining foundation strengthening pills, the fire attribute Pill Fire was red, good at refining Qi and Blood enhancement and potential stimulating pills, and the earth attribute Pill Fire was black, good at refining poison pills.

“So that’s it, so that’s it!” Wei Xing looked at the clear and detailed introduction of the pill formula in front of him, solved many doubts since he started cultivating, and the joy in his heart was simply indescribable, and his hands kept shaking with excitement.

Wei Xing continued to read. When cultivating Pill Fire, everyone has more than one. The innate Pill Fire attributes only represent innate talent. The peerless genius has all five attributes. Most geniuses and monsters have four. Those with three qualifications are considered superior, and those with two are considered medium. Most ordinary cultivators only have one, and those without it have no pill refining qualifications and cannot refine pills.

“Hahaha”

“So it’s not like what the masters and senior brothers of Dan Peak said, everyone only has one Pill Fire!”

“So everything Qingyuan Temple taught me is wrong!”

“So Pill Fires of different attributes can refine pills of corresponding attributes. No wonder Dan Wu deduced that I have a cyan wood attribute Pill Fire!”

“Wait, from the fact that Dan Wu came to see me, it can be determined that he must know about the correspondence between these various attributes and pills. But I asked him, but he deliberately concealed it and didn’t tell me?” After experiencing these several crises, Wei Xing instinctively smelled a hint of danger.
