Hearing Lin Qingwu’s words, Ji Haoyuan couldn’t help but become solemn as he put away the storage bag in his hand.
He knew that as the fundamental inheritance of the Crimson Sunset Sect, even if he could exchange for those two inheritances, there would inevitably be corresponding conditions.
He nodded slightly towards Lin Qingwu.
"Junior Sister Lin, please speak."
Lin Qingwu didn’t beat around the bush and directly said:
"To exchange for our sect’s Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Tidal Wave Burn Heaven Seal, Senior Brother Ji, you must take a Dao Heart Oath, ensuring that once you obtain these two techniques, you will never pass them on to others.
Including the cultivators of the Ji Family, you must not teach them either.
Does Senior Brother Ji have any issues with this?"
The so-called Dao Heart Oath is a type of oath in this world that directly addresses the true nature of a cultivator’s heart. The most update n0vels are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Once made, it must not be violated in the slightest.
If broken, various misfortunes will befall.
At worst, one’s fortune will be damaged, making cultivation extremely prone to Qi deviation.
At worst, one will lose oneself, causing one’s path to collapse instantly, becoming a total cripple.
Furthermore, this oath accompanies the cultivator for life.
It is even more difficult to avoid and dispel than the Heart Demon Oath.
Ji Haoyuan did not hesitate much; he immediately nodded affirmatively:
"No problem, as it’s the fundamental inheritance of this sect, taking a Dao Heart Oath is only reasonable."
Saying this, he made the Dao Heart Oath in front of Lin Qingwu.
And at the moment he made the Dao Heart Oath, he instantly felt as if something intangible had settled upon him.
If he ever broke the Dao Heart Oath he just made, misfortune would soon fall accordingly.
Seeing Ji Haoyuan so readily make the Dao Heart Oath, Lin Qingwu’s face immediately broke into a smile.
She then took out two tokens from herself and handed them to Ji Haoyuan, saying:
"Senior Brother Ji, later you just need to take these two tokens and go to our sect’s Dharma Transmission Pavilion.
At that time, you can exchange for the two inheritances you want.
Just wondering if there is anything else you need to exchange for, Senior Brother Ji?
If so, I can help you exchange for them here."
It must be said, having acquaintances help in the Affairs Hall was indeed convenient.
Without delay, Ji Haoyuan exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill formula from Lin Qingwu, according to his needs.
Although this pill formula is precious outside, in the Crimson Sunset Sect, it’s just one of those things, naturally not requiring an oath like the exchange for the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Tidal Wave Burn Heaven Seal.
Even if it were leaked, the Crimson Sunset Sect wouldn’t mind.
Besides exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, Ji Haoyuan also exchanged for some spirit medicines and precious materials.
Among them was a spirit fruit named Jade Life Fruit.
This fruit can extend a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s lifespan by 20 years.
Ji Haoyuan exchanged for it for his ancestor, Ji Bochang.
However, after this, unless there is some life-extending spiritual object that can break the world’s shackles.
Otherwise, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Ji Bochang can no longer extend his life.
Three lifetime extension opportunities per cultivation realm, and no taking the same spiritual object for life extension is the rule of this world since ancient times.
Just as Ji Haoyuan was about to finish this exchange, something on the exchange jade book suddenly caught his attention again.
It was a fragment made of special paper.
Judging by its appearance and some of its markings, it bore an eighty percent resemblance to the two fragments he currently held.
Could this be another part of that map?
With this thought, Ji Haoyuan immediately used his remaining merit to exchange for that fragment.
Once he completed his exchange, Ji Haoyuan didn’t linger in the Affairs Hall any longer.
After expressing his gratitude to Lin Qingwu, he directly headed to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion of the Crimson Sunset Sect.
As the fundamental place of sect inheritance, the Dharma Transmission Pavilion naturally was heavily guarded.
Upon arriving, Ji Haoyuan immediately sensed a palpable aura, even from the flow of spiritual qi around, that made him a bit apprehensive.
This place was likely connected to the Mountain Protection Array, the Celestial Fire Lotus Array of the Crimson Sunset Sect.
Anyone daring to break in or cause trouble would immediately face an attack from the Celestial Fire Lotus Array.
Ji Haoyuan had the Honored Guest Elder’s token and the cultivation technique exchange token on him.
The array, detecting these two familiar auras from him, immediately dispelled most of the Qi mechanism that was originally targeting him.
Once Ji Haoyuan entered the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, he directly went toward his goal.
That was where the jade slips of the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Tidal Wave Burn Heaven Seal were stored.
The process went smoothly, with no further obstacles encountered.
Once he had the jade slips engraved with the Crimson Sunset Flame Sun Technique and Tidal Wave Burn Heaven Seal in hand, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he used his rights as an Honored Guest Elder to start searching in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion for cultivation techniques worth referencing and learning from.
As a Golden Core sect with a millennium of inheritance, the cultivation technique texts owned by the Crimson Sunset Sect far exceeded those available to the small Ji Family.
However, given his current cultivation realm, techniques worth referencing and learning weren’t many.
At least within the Dharma Transmission Pavilion of the Crimson Sunset Sect, this was the case.
Nevertheless, after a round of searching, he did find some useful inheritances.
Moreover, during this process, Ji Haoyuan also perused a large number of Traveling Records, as well as some geographical knowledge about the Hongduan Mountain Range and its surroundings.
It greatly broadened his horizons and compensated for some of his shortcomings in this area.
Ji Haoyuan stayed in the Dharma Transmission Pavilion for several days.
As he picked up another jade slip recording various geographical environments, intending to read it on the spot, a Communication Command Arrow was suddenly sent to him.
This made him a bit puzzled.
But as soon as he opened the Communication Command Arrow and saw its contents, his originally calm expression immediately changed.
Without a word, he put down the jade slip in his hand, secured the ones he intended to take with him, made a record, and directly headed to the Guest Reception Peak of the Crimson Sunset Sect.
He found the Ji Family cultivators who had come with him to the Crimson Sunset Sect.
At this point, all the Ji Family cultivators had evidently completed their exchange for the items they had come for.
Seeing Ji Haoyuan approach, each of them immediately greeted him respectfully.
Ji Haoyuan wasted no words. Once confirming that everyone was done, he immediately led them out of the Crimson Sunset Sect, heading straight for Qianyang Mountain, where the Ji Family was based.
Ji Haoyuan found Ji Qingfei and spoke to him in a rather grave tone:
"Qingfei, I’ve just received news from our ancestor.
My elder brother, who is also your great-grandfather, has reached the end of his lifespan. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a matter of days."
