Restoring a youthful state means that a seventy-year-old Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Cultivator, as long as they master this Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture and reach the Second Layer, can recover thirty years of youth, equivalent to the Return of the Light, regaining thirty years of lifespan.
In this way, they can attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Whether or not they reach Foundation Establishment, even if used merely to extend the lifespan of Lu Yuanshan’s three children, it would be excellent!
"This Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture was created by my master, Elder Jiang."
"My master has already verified it, cultivating it to the Fourth Layer, so its authenticity is beyond doubt."
"And this time, for the exchange, my master hopes to obtain a Gold Attribute Sword Cultivation Technique, preferably a Golden Core Technique of the same level."
"Anyone with such a technique, feel free to trade!"
Li Qiumei expressed the exchange requirements, causing a commotion among those present.
A Golden Core Technique, such a level of technique, is generally only found in the hands of a Golden Core Ancestor, not something a Crystallization Clan or Sect can readily provide.
Moreover, it specifically needs to be a Gold Attribute Sword Cultivation Technique, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.
How many Golden Core Sects or Golden Core Clans are there among us?
Shenxiao Palace and Heaven-Facing Sect count as two.
There are no Golden Core Clans present.
In such a scenario, how can a Golden Core Technique be produced?
Between Shenxiao Palace and Heaven-Facing Sect, the Golden Core Ancestors of these two, according to the cultivators of the Chu Kingdom, mostly practice the Five Elements Technique.
The Golden Core Ancestor of Heaven-Facing Sect, Heaven-Facing Celestial, is said to be a Fire and Earth Dual Spirit Root Cultivator, practicing Fire Attribute Techniques.
The Golden Core Ancestor of Shenxiao Palace, his Spirit Root is somewhat special, being a Thunder Attribute Abnormal Spirit Root, also a Celestial Spirit Root, and naturally practices Thunder Attribute Techniques.
This is not considered a secret.
Golden Core Ancestors are renowned within the Chu Kingdom and are highly revered; the Spirit Roots they possess, the techniques they cultivate, and when they entered the Golden Core Stage, all this information has long spread, not a secret at all.
Among those present, aside from Elder Jiang himself, there is no third Golden Core Influence to be found, so where can a Golden Core Level Sword Cultivation Technique be found?
This somewhat seems like a demand beyond one’s means.
Everyone knows the benefits of the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture and wants to obtain it, but without meeting Li Qiumei’s stated requirements, it cannot be exchanged.
As a result, everyone’s gaze shifted, scrutinizing each other.
Their final gaze landed on the influences of Heaven-Facing Sect, Shenxiao Palace, Hengyue Sect, and Cyan Mountain Sect.
Heaven-Facing Sect and Shenxiao Palace need not be mentioned; both are old Golden Core Sects, so they certainly have Golden Core Techniques in the Sect. Discover more novels at novel•fire.net
Hengyue Sect and Cyan Mountain Sect, although one has its Golden Core Ancestor slain, and the other’s Golden Core Ancestor remains in Secluded Cultivation, life or death unknown.
Still, as former Golden Core Sects, they should have Golden Core Techniques passed down.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Facing the surrounding cultivators’ gazes, Xuu Qingshan could see what they were thinking and immediately shook his head.
"Though this old man is interested in the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture, our Sect’s Ancestor cultivates Thunder Attribute Golden Core Techniques and cannot presently provide a Gold Attribute Sword Cultivation Technique for exchange, so there’s a slight sense of regret in my heart."
Speaking truthfully, Shenxiao Palace indeed does not have one, and can only sigh in dismay.
This response was as expected by those present.
"Our Sect also has none; we are not fated with the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture."
Over at Heaven-Facing Sect, a Crystallization Cultivator shook his head with a bitter smile.
This matter cannot be decided easily.
Moreover, even if such a technique exists, it is kept as a treasured heirloom in the Sect and would not be leaked easily, let alone carried by a Crystallization Cultivator.
Eliminating Heaven-Facing Sect and Shenxiao Palace, only Hengyue Sect and Cyan Mountain Sect remain.
These two were fallen Sects that were once Golden Core Sects.
Wei Yuan faced the gaze of everyone and shook his head expressionlessly, making it clear that there was none.
Then, Wei Yuan’s gaze turned to Lu Yuanshan.
Seeing that only the Cyan Mountain Sect remained, everyone’s interest grew even more.
The reason is simple.
The Cyan Mountain Sect’s Elder Lu Ping, emerged as a Sword Cultivator with a main Spirit Root of the Gold Attribute, primarily cultivating Gold Attribute Techniques, and held the title of Cyan Lotus Sword Ancestor, renowned throughout the Chu Kingdom as a Sword Cultivator.
In his time, Lu Ping did not shy away from showcasing his unparalleled prowess in Sword Cultivation.
Whether it was slashing the Elder Golden of Hengyue Sect with a sword or engaging in Magical Combat against same-tier cultivators, slaying Golden Core Great Demons, all were feats performed with Sword Cultivation techniques.
The title of Cyan Lotus Sword Ancestor was earned through strength; the name Lu Ping is not one given casually by outside cultivators.
"Elder Jiang’s request for just a Golden Core Level Sword Cultivation Technique seems an open attempt to acquire the Sword Cultivation inheritance of the Cyan Mountain Sect, taking away Elder Lu’s legacy?"
Xuu Qingshan pondered this, curious about Elder Jiang’s true intentions for such actions.
Rumor has it that Elder Jiang and Elder Lu were quite close, often visiting each other, at least in public perception.
Admiring a friend’s skills and Sword Cultivation Divine Techniques isn’t wrong either.
However, would the Cyan Mountain Sect really be so tempted as to offer a Sword Cultivation Technique in exchange for the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture?
Unlikely to be swapped.
Not to mention the Golden Core Ancestor, even a Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator wouldn’t easily let their main cultivated technique circulate for others to learn.
If so, it means divulging the strengths and weaknesses of the technique to outsiders.
Outsiders could accurately identify weaknesses during cultivation, enabling precision attacks on the weak points.
This is equivalent to exposing the most vulnerable side to outsiders, akin to playing with fire and self-destruction, too risky.
Even a Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator feels this way, let alone a Golden Core Ancestor.
Reaching such a level, the cultivation technique is deeply ingrained, thoroughly mastered, and not easily switched.
Golden Core Ancestors are cunning and will not lightly do anything that harms themselves.
As Xuu Qingshan contemplated this, while Lu Yuanshan was the focus of all attention, Lu Ping first expressed his view.
"The Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture is temporarily out of reach for us."
Lu Ping doesn’t wish to exchange.
Although his relationship with Elder Jiang is not shallow, often exchanging courtesies, it does not mean they are committed to life and death.
With over thirty years gone by, who can assure that Elder Jiang’s disposition hasn’t changed? Perhaps the friendship has long cooled.
In unsure matters, given Lu Ping’s cautious and steady style, he would never take the risk.
Even though he has cultivated two Golden Core Level Sword Cultivation Techniques, he won’t offer even one.
The Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture, though good, is not worth it.
Hearing Lu Ping’s communication, Lu Yuanshan was not surprised, aware of the pros and cons involved.
A Golden Core Ancestor’s main cultivation technique will not be easily transmitted to others.
Best to leave the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture.
