Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 68: Chapter 58 Missionary Meeting

The imparting of knowledge and experience by Foundation Establishment cultivators is not rare for Liu Suiyun.

On the way to Yuanzhou, Gu Yinghua could be said to have done her best to impart everything she knew to Liu Suiyun without reservation. If Liu Suiyun's learning progress satisfied Gu Yinghua, there would be additional extracurricular teachings as rewards - and of course, there would be her extremely sweet gasps.

However, Gu Yinghua's teachings generally followed the path of Buddhist cultivation in Lingjing Mountain. Of course, there were also many insights into the Immortal Dao that she had personally realized. But all of these only had a reference role for Liu Suiyun who was cultivating the Extreme Yuan Thunder Forging Divine Record.

Unless Liu Suiyun gave up what he had learned now and switched to Buddhist cultivation, otherwise the dozen or so books of insights left by Gu Yinghua would only have a reference role for Liu Suiyun.

As for Gu Shanhe, as the commander of the Flying Fish Guards, he was an extremely busy person. He simply didn't have time to teach Liu Suiyun hand in hand. Therefore, Liu Suiyun was still very interested in the guidance and teachings of a Foundation Establishment senior. Of course, he also had his own doubts: "I heard that there are Golden Core cultivators imparting knowledge and experience in small market towns?"

Argumentative just liked to argue. He directly argued with Liu Suiyun: "Old Xing, you are being confused. Don't mention Golden Core cultivators. I have even seen a small market town advertise with the sign of a Nascent Soul cultivator. In the end, when I excitedly rushed over to take a look, well, it turned out to be the nephew of the younger brother of the inner disciple of the disciple of the Nascent Soul cultivator's junior brother. In the end, it was still an old Qi Refining cultivator who was there talking about some secrets of the Nascent Soul cultivator. The unreliability of small market towns lies here. No matter how big the sign is, in the end, it's always an old Qi Refining cultivator who shows up..."

He continued to guide Liu Suiyun: "And most importantly, those impartings of knowledge and experience in small market towns are all free, free! And for places like our Jiazhou market town, if you want to listen to the teachings of seniors, even if it's a Qi Refining cultivator at the same level as us, you have to pay real money."

This seemed like a paradox. The small market towns with free teachings had become a contemptible existence in Argumentative's mouth, while the official market towns that required real money had become a saving grace in Argumentative's mouth.

But Liu Suiyun had been roaming the Jianghu for so many years and already knew the famous saying that "free is not cheap". He also deeply knew that problems that could be solved with money were never big problems.

Sure enough, someone over there had already bitterly complained about how luxurious free was: "Yes. After I listened to a free teaching by a pharmacist once, I was so dizzy that I directly spent forty spirit stones to buy thirty Reviving Qi Pills he refined. Damn it. Three years later, I found out that this thing can be bought here for only six spirit stones."

"Don't talk about it anymore, Old Xiu. Those thirty Reviving Qi Pills at least saved you a few times. I was the one who was really cheated. I spent thirty spirit stones to buy a copy of the Spiritual Flight Scripture. It was said to be an ancient immortal book, unfathomable. Later, I found out that it was just a secular Taoist scripture that could be bought for a few hundred copper coins. What's even more infuriating is that not to mention spending so much spirit stones. It also delayed my cultivation for two whole years!"

"You guys at least listened to a free class and then got something. I almost lost my life. At that time, that forger talked so mysteriously that I really believed it. So I bought the legendary Chosen One's Slaying God Sword. Guess what happened in the end... When I encountered an evil cultivator, I barely suppressed this villain. I quickly took out the Slaying God Sword. As a result, this sword directly fell to the ground before it even flew three feet. This villain took the opportunity to counterattack and I had no power to fight back. After going through countless hardships, I finally escaped with a slim chance of survival..."

With just one sentence from Liu Suiyun, a table of cultivators started complaining endlessly. They all said how unreliable those free imparting of knowledge and experience classes in small market towns were and didn't know how many cultivators had been cheated.

Even though cultivators were already the most outstanding group of people in this world, they were still cheated miserably. Sometimes even Foundation Establishment cultivators were cheated. In contrast, the imparting of knowledge and experience in the Jiazhou market town, although it required real money, could really let people learn real skills.

Wang Dayang revealed a very valuable piece of information: "Yes. Real skills can only be learned with real money. Old Xing, now that you have checked in, don't check out for the time being. In exactly two days, a Foundation Establishment senior of the Shenxiao Sect will come to our inn to impart knowledge and experience. What he talks about is all real stuff, the real deal. Although the price is not cheap, it's worth it."

Argumentative rarely agreed with Wang Dayang once: "Yes. Senior Shan Yunping of the Shenxiao Sect is young but has profound skills. Every time he imparts knowledge and experience, I gain something. If it weren't for the fact that he is related to the boss here, we really wouldn't have the chance to listen to him."

As soon as he heard that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Shenxiao Sect, Liu Suiyun also became interested. After some exchanges with Gu Shanhe and Gu Yinghua, he had already decided to join the Shenxiao Sect next.

The Shenxiao Sect could be considered one of the top powerful sects in the entire Vault of Heaven world. Although the existence of a Deity Transformation cultivator in the sect was just a legend, several Nascent Soul cultivators and dozens of Golden Core cultivators were definitely real. Not to mention that the Great Han Kingdom and the Shenxiao Sect were inseparable two sides of the same coin. There was even a folk saying: "First there is the Shenxiao Sect, then there is the Great Han Kingdom."

As a citizen of the Great Han, Liu Suiyun had heard countless legends and stories about the Shenxiao Sect since he was young. Joining the Shenxiao Sect had once been one of the dreams of young Liu Suiyun. And according to Liu Suiyun's understanding, the Shenxiao Sect was not only powerful but also very kind to its disciples. Whether it was cultivation methods and secret books, spiritual medicines and divine weapons, or even divine objects like Foundation Establishment Pills, as long as disciples could make great contributions, there would be a continuous supply.

Therefore, Liu Suiyun now regarded himself as a member of the Shenxiao Sect. As soon as he heard that there was such a fellow disciple willing to impart knowledge and experience, he was naturally filled with joy: "Okay. Since both Argumentative and Big King say so, how dare I check out these two days!"

Just as Argumentative said, as soon as the news that Shan Yunping, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Shenxiao Sect, was coming to impart knowledge and experience the next day spread, the entire inn was immediately fully booked. Even the stables were filled with people. According to rumors, the price for privately transferring a bunk was several gold leaves.

Liu Suiyun also obtained more information about this Senior Shan from the cultivators in the inn. Speaking of which, although Shan Yunping was called a senior, in fact, he was not very old. Everyone said that he was not even thirty-five years old but had established his foundation for many years. He was very kind and would never hold back when imparting knowledge and experience.

For a teacher, this was the greatest advantage. Liu Suiyun went to the innkeeper and paid three catties of gold in advance and obtained more information about Shan Yunping.

Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect, Shan Yunping was known as the one who was most like an ordinary person but also had the most human touch. He was only distantly related to the boss. But to take care of the boss's business, he would come to the inn to talk about the Immortal Dao once or twice a year.

What he talked about, according to the boss, was all Dry information. Especially for those loose cultivators who came from wild paths, it was truly like listening to his words was better than reading ten years of books.

The boss also said: "Especially for those cultivators who want to enter the Shenxiao Sect for cultivation, it is even more helpful. What Senior Shan talks about is always closely related to the Shenxiao Sect. This will let them get on the right path now and save them many years of effort after entering the sect."

The boss said this casually, but it aroused endless expectations in Liu Suiyun's heart. He was emotionally inclined towards the Shenxiao Sect. If he could get on the right path for the Shenxiao Sect in advance now, he could save at least half a year after entering the sect.

Therefore, Liu Suiyun got up early the next day. He even reviewed his experiences and insights from cultivating in the past year. He also casually flipped through the dozen or so books of insights left by Gu Yinghua again. But those Buddhist terms, even though Gu Yinghua had explained them many times and even tutored him after class, Liu Suiyun was still confused.

This is just a different path! Liu Suiyun just sighed like this and then went out to have breakfast.

This inn had an official status and always had many rules. But as soon as Liu Suiyun left his room today, he felt something was wrong. Why did the uncles and aunts today seem to be especially enthusiastic in their service attitude? And the eyes of the customers seemed a bit off.

The portions of several signature dishes this morning also seemed a bit too much. Liu Suiyun's confusion was quickly answered by Argumentative at the same table: "Senior Shan probably can't come today. This time's teaching session is probably going to be canceled."

Wang Dayang had also heard this news: "Yes, I've heard about it too. I hope it's just postponed and not canceled?"

"It's definitely canceled!" Argumentative was just being Argumentative: "It's definitely canceled for sure. I heard that Senior Shan's beloved daughter suddenly got sick. Senior Shan is a person who attaches great importance to his wife and children. As soon as he heard that his daughter had a fever, he directly rushed back to Shenxiao Mountain!"

"Then it should be postponed, right? I've been waiting at Feiyun Inn for more than half a month. We can't wait in vain, can we?"

The customers in the inn all had similar anxiety as Wang Dana. Some of them had even been waiting at Feiyun Inn for a month to attend Shan Yunping's teaching session. Now they had started negotiating with the innkeeper to try to recover their losses as much as possible, not just limited to getting back those three or five catties of gold.

Liu Suiyun felt sorry that Shan Yunping couldn't attend the teaching session as scheduled. But it was only limited to feeling sorry. During these few days, he had gained a lot. After all, many things that loose cultivators could only understand after going through many storms and hardships couldn't be understood just by Gu Yinghua's wholehearted teachings. At least he already had a complete plan on how to burn spirit stones most efficiently.

These were all things he learned from interacting with Argumentative and Wang Dayang. Therefore, Liu Suiyun was already prepared to rent a practice room with dense spiritual energy and then directly go into seclusion to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

But the innkeeper didn't have the courage to bear the losses of the customers this time. Soon he had to stand up and announce a good news: "Although Senior Shan couldn't come to impart knowledge and experience at this inn temporarily due to an accident, we have invited a real rising star in the Immortal Dao, an immortal doctor who can bring the dead back to life..."

Hearing that an immortal master had come, everyone immediately became excited. The path of cultivating immortality was extremely arduous. No one knew how many mountains of swords and seas of fire they had to cross. Who didn't have some new wounds, old wounds, external wounds, and internal injuries? If there was really an immortal doctor to give guidance, it would definitely be a great thing.

Liu Suiyun was not very interested. Thanks to the help of the black-haired loli's rain threads, all his old wounds were gone now and he was in excellent condition. But in the next moment, he couldn't help but shudder.

The innkeeper continued to boast about the skills of this immortal doctor: "This immortal doctor not only saves lives and heals the wounded on a regular basis but also studies the ancient learning of Shennong. He tastes hundreds of herbs every day and is best at the art of spiritual plants..
