I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Chapter 134 Qingyuan Zhenren

The moment Zhang Yifan's feet touched the soil of Yuanyang Mountain, a faint yet extremely unique fluctuation of spiritual energy quietly spread through the mountains. This fluctuation, like a slight ripple on a calm lake, seemed gentle, but contained a power that could penetrate space and soul. It was instantly and keenly detected by Qingyuan Zhenren, who was in seclusion deep within Yuanyang Mountain.

Qingyuan Zhenren, this Nascent Soul stage expert, had long since reached a transcendent level in his perception and control of his own spiritual power through countless years of cultivation. His divine sense was like an invisible and enormous spider web, enveloping the entire Yuanyang Mountain and its surrounding area, and no subtle change in spiritual power could escape his perception. At this moment, the unique aura of the Nascent Soul stage emanating from Zhang Yifan shone brightly in his world of divine sense, like a dazzling star in the night.

Master Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for so long, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashing within them. He pondered to himself, "A Nascent Soul cultivator has come to visit. What is this young man's background? And what is his purpose? Is he friend or foe?" In this world of cultivation, Nascent Soul cultivators are not exactly rare, but each one has their own unique experiences and background. Their appearance is often accompanied by various opportunities and unpredictable events.

After a moment's thought, Master Qingyuan decided to treat him with courtesy. He immediately used a telepathic technique to convey his message to the Qingyun Sect Master:

"A Nascent Soul cultivator has entered Yuanyang Mountain. You should quickly lead people down the mountain to welcome him and respectfully invite him to the main hall of Qingyun Sect for a chat. You must not be impolite. If we can recruit him into our Qingyun Sect, our strength will be greatly enhanced, and we will have more protection in the struggle with the Blood Demon Sect for the Wushan Spirit Mine."

Upon receiving the decree from the patriarch, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect dared not slacken in the slightest. He quickly summoned several core disciples, tidied their clothes, and led everyone down the mountain in haste.

At this moment, Zhang Yifan was slowly climbing up the winding mountain road, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Yuanyang Mountain.

Along the mountain path, lush and verdant medicinal herbs and plants exuded a captivating fragrance. The rare plants swayed gently in the breeze, as if welcoming his arrival.

Occasionally, one could see some strange monsters moving through the mountains and forests, but they seemed to sense the powerful aura emanating from Zhang Yifan, so they only watched from afar and did not dare to approach.

Just as Zhang Yifan was immersed in the beautiful scenery of the mountains, a series of noisy footsteps came from ahead. He looked up and saw a group of cultivators dressed in Qingyun Sect robes walking quickly towards him.

Leading the group was the sect leader of Qingyun Sect. He was tall and robust, with a resolute face and eyes that exuded authority and competence. Behind him followed several core disciples, each with a heroic bearing and extraordinary temperament, radiating a rich aura of spiritual energy.

The leader of the Qingyun Sect approached Zhang Yifan and respectfully performed a deep bow:

"This junior, Zhao Xuan, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, respectfully welcomes you, senior. Our ancestor sensed your arrival and specially invited you to the main hall of Qingyun Sect for a chat. We hope you will do us the honor."

Zhang Yifan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Sect Leader Zhao. Please lead the way."

Led by the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, Zhang Yifan walked towards the main hall of Qingyun Sect.

Along the way, Zhao Xuan frequently introduced the history and current situation of Qingyuan Sect to Zhang Yifan:

"Our Qingyuan Sect has a history of several hundred years since its founding. During this time, our predecessors have worked diligently and made continuous progress, making our Qingyuan Sect quite famous in this region. Our sect has abundant cultivation resources, numerous cultivation techniques and secret manuals, and has cultivated countless outstanding cultivators. Now, under the leadership of our ancestor, True Person Qingyuan, we are thriving. Although we only have one Nascent Soul stage cultivator, our sect has quite a few high-level Golden Core stage cultivators."

Zhang Yifan listened quietly, gaining a preliminary understanding of the Qingyuan Sect. He knew that in the cultivation world, a sect's foundation and strength determined its status and influence among various forces. The Qingyuan Sect's ability to dominate this region must have its unique strengths.

Before long, a magnificent hall appeared before them. The hall soared into the clouds, exuding an imposing aura. Above the hall's entrance hung a huge plaque inscribed with the five large characters "Qingyun Hall," written in a vigorous and powerful style, conveying an air of antiquity and majesty.

Zhang Yifan followed Zhao Xuan into the main hall, where the interior was ornately decorated and resplendent. Rows of tables and chairs lined both sides, their surfaces intricately carved, showcasing the luxury and grandeur of the Qingyuan Sect. At the very front of the hall, an elderly man with white hair sat regally on a prayer mat; he was none other than Qingyuan Zhenren.

Master Qingyuan had a kind face and deep eyes, revealing a wisdom and composure born from years of experience. Seeing Zhang Yifan enter the main hall, he rose slightly and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, welcome to my Qingyun Sect. Our meeting today must be fate. May I ask what brings you here, Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

Zhang Yifan stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, I am Zhang Yifan. I have come here to search for the whereabouts of the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill. This pill is extremely important to me, as it concerns the life and death of a close relative. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Qingyuan is very knowledgeable, so I have come to seek your guidance."

Master Qingyuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill... This pill is extremely rare. Although I have heard of it, I know very little about it. However, my Qingyuan Sect's Scripture Pavilion contains many ancient books and secret manuals, and perhaps there are records about this pill among them. If Fellow Daoist Zhang does not mind, you may stay in my sect for a while, and I will send someone to look it up."

Zhang Yifan was overjoyed: "In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan. I am deeply grateful."

Master Qingyuan waved his hand: "No need to be so polite. Fellow Daoist Zhang has come from afar and is a guest. Please rest in my sect for a few days and we will make a decision after we have news."

And so, Zhang Yifan temporarily settled in Qingyuan Sect, awaiting news about the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill. His arrival, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, caused quite a stir within the sect. Disciples speculated about his identity and purpose, and various rumors quietly circulated within the sect.

During the waiting period, Zhang Yifan didn't remain idle. He wandered around the Qingyuan Sect, observing the disciples' cultivation progress and exchanging ideas with some elders. He discovered that the Qingyuan Sect's cultivation system was quite rigorous, with corresponding cultivation methods and assessment standards for each stage, from entry-level disciples to core disciples. Moreover, the Qingyuan Sect emphasized cultivating the disciples' character, believing that only with a steadfast mind could one go further on the path of cultivation.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yifan was also contemplating his path of cultivation. He possessed nine Nascent Souls, an extremely rare occurrence in the cultivation world. He was well aware of his immense potential, but also understood that the road ahead was fraught with challenges. He needed to continuously improve his strength and explore more of the mysteries of cultivation in order to protect himself and those around him in this dog-eat-dog world.

Days passed, and the disciples of Qingyuan Sect meticulously examined ancient texts and secret manuals in the Scripture Pavilion, hoping to find clues about the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill. Zhang Yifan also waited anxiously, knowing that time was of the essence, and every minute and second concerned the lives of his loved ones.

Finally, one morning several days later, a disciple rushed to report to Master Qingyuan: "Ancestor, we have found a record of the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill in an ancient book in the Scripture Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingyuan immediately summoned Zhang Yifan to the main hall. Zhang Yifan, upon receiving the news, rushed to the main hall with great anxiety.

Master Qingyuan looked at Zhang Yifan and slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, ancient texts record that the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill is extremely complex to refine. It requires seven extremely rare spiritual herbs and medicines as the main ingredients, as well as the assistance of a master alchemist. Furthermore, the refining process requires special formations and a specific spiritual energy environment. These seven spiritual herbs and medicines are: Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi, Starlight Grass, Dream Flower, Spirit Void Fruit, Illusion Crystal Orchid, and Primordial Spirit Leaf. Among them, the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus grows on the snow-capped peaks of extremely cold lands, the Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi is mostly found deep in ancient forests, the Starlight Grass can only be found in places with abundant stellar energy, the Dream Flower grows in the mysterious Shadow Valley, the Spirit Void Fruit is found in small quantities in the Spirit Void Secret Realm, the Illusion Crystal Orchid is found near the Illusion Crystal Mine, and the Primordial Spirit Leaf is said to only appear in some ancient ruins."

Zhang Yifan frowned upon hearing this. These spiritual herbs and medicines were all extremely rare and difficult to find. However, he did not give up. He looked at Qingyuan Zhenren and said firmly, "Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan. No matter what, I will try to find these materials and refine the Seven Treasures Rejuvenation Pill."

Master Qingyuan nodded: "Fellow Daoist Zhang's determination is commendable. Although my Qingyuan Sect cannot directly provide these materials, we can offer you some assistance. For example, some of our disciples are familiar with certain places and can guide you; we also have some experience and methods for finding spiritual herbs and medicines that we can pass on to you."

Zhang Yifan said gratefully, "In that case, thank you again, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan."

Subsequently, with the help of the Qingyuan Sect, Zhang Yifan began to formulate a plan to find spiritual herbs and medicines. He decided to start with those that were closer and relatively easy to find, gradually accumulating experience and resources before venturing into more dangerous and mysterious places. His journey was destined to be filled with hardship and unknowns, but for the sake of his loved ones, he resolutely embarked on this thorny path.
