Imperial Cultivation

He regarded Inviting Moon Palace as his wife's family, feeling close because of Jian Ruoling, but not to the point of baring his heart and soul.

The inheritance of the Bright Jade Sacred Sect was extremely valuable.

However, for the disciples of Inviting Moon Palace, the Bright Jade Divine Palm was already sufficient; there was no need to practice anything else.

The Inviting Moon Palace's own cultivation methods were already excellent.

It was just a pity that they conflicted with the Purple Sun True Scripture, making it impossible for the Great Jing imperial family disciples to practice both; they could only choose one.

More importantly, this set of cultivation inheritance was not suitable for ordinary people. Without sufficient talent, it was futile to practice, and it would be better to practice the Purple Sun True Scripture.

He constantly compared and pondered, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Purple Sun True Scripture was indeed profound, a crystallization of the wisdom of predecessors.

On the basis of walking on one leg, while maintaining the speed of cultivation, it tried its best to achieve the perfection of essence, energy, and spirit, laying a deep foundation and reducing the obstacles to entering the Grandmaster realm.

If it leaned towards the perfection of essence, energy, and spirit by one point, the cultivation speed would decrease by two points. If the cultivation speed increased by one point, the perfection of essence, energy, and spirit would decrease by two points.

If the perfection of essence, energy, and spirit and the cultivation speed together formed a circle, the Purple Sun True Scripture would perfectly balance the two, like a Tai Chi diagram.

The Purple Sun True Scripture was indeed a highly condensed form of cultivation wisdom, and one had to admire its power.

In comparison, the inheritance of the Bright Jade Sacred Sect, although complete and exquisite, with an orderly progression, step by step upwards,

the current cultivation environment was no longer suitable for this kind of inheritance; cultivation was too slow.

After comparing the two, his understanding of the Purple Sun True Scripture deepened.

Presumably, the Inviting Moon Palace's mental cultivation method was also like this Purple Sun True Scripture, making the optimal trade-offs in order to adapt to this world.

A small cold jade bottle appeared in his palm.

The small jade bottle was exquisite and delicate, making people unable to resist wanting to play with it and cherish it.

He carefully examined it.

There were no more elixirs left in the small cold jade bottle.

So many small cold jade bottles had been emptied and eaten, from which it could be inferred that this successor of the Bright Jade Sacred Sect was cultivating by consuming elixirs.

What kind of elixir was she taking?

It seemed to be just one kind of elixir. Was it for body refinement or Qi refinement?

According to current theories, Qi refinement should not use elixirs, as it would interfere with the purity of true Qi and astral Qi, thereby affecting the perfection of essence, energy, and spirit.

Body refinement was not affected.

The two systems were probably similar in this regard.

Then, this kind of elixir should be the Bright Jade Pill mentioned in the secret manual, but unfortunately, there was no method for making the Bright Jade Pill.

Presumably, it was a secret tradition, not recorded in writing.

He examined all the cold jade bottles, and not a single elixir was left, which he couldn't help but regret.

If there were this elixir to assist, cultivating the Bright Jade Divine Art would probably be faster.

The lanterns were lit.

The small courtyard was brightly lit.

A slight cold wind blew through the pine forest outside the courtyard, the whistling sound faint and indistinct.

Bright light filled his room.

He sat on the couch, Zou Fang stood aside to serve.

Even though Inviting Moon Palace was his wife's family, they wouldn't completely let go of their guard; they had to be in personal control to feel at ease.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the couch, carefully looking through the illustrated volumes that Xiao Ruoling had sent over, which recorded various kinds of natural treasures.

Looking at these illustrated books of natural treasures, Chu Zhiyuan was somewhat skeptical.

More than a hundred kinds of natural treasures.

Was this still considered a natural treasure? Could it be ordinary herbs that had been exaggerated in their effects?

More than a hundred kinds of natural treasures. Did the secret realm have so many?

What was a natural treasure? It was something rare, something hard to come by, something with extraordinary effects, capable of reaching the level of a first-grade or second-grade elixir.

Looking at the types of elixirs in the Heavenly Treasure Department, it could be inferred that the four great paradises and the four great secret realms didn't have so many natural treasures.

Could it be that the Inviting Moon Palace's secret realm had more natural treasures than the four great paradises and the four great secret realms?

He felt that this was unlikely.

Out of curiosity, he decided to go in and try to see if he could find anything on the list. Out of more than a hundred kinds, he might only encounter two or three.

He put down the illustrated book, closed his eyes, and thought for a while, searching through his mind to make sure he had memorized it.

While doing these things, his mind was still nourishing the two sword Qi within the Heavenly Pool acupoint, allowing them to circulate along the Ren and Du meridians, constantly impacting the Bronze Tower. They were getting bigger and more solid, slowly increasing the damage to the Bronze Tower.

At this rate, he felt that a year would be enough to break through this layer of the Bronze Tower and step into the ninth heaven.

The remaining Grandmaster Perfection was impossible to estimate, after all, he hadn't seen the appearance of the ninth layer of the Bronze Tower and didn't know its sturdiness. He thought it would take at least two or three years.

Then, putting these aside, he focused on the present, began to internally examine himself, and studied the next level of the Dragon Transformation Art, the seventh level of Flesh Refinement. Knowing that walking on two legs was the shortcut to becoming a Grandmaster, he paid even more attention to the Dragon Transformation Art.

After the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation Art, Tendon Refinement, internal refinement was considered complete.

What remained was external refinement, starting with Flesh Refinement, then Scale Refinement, and then Claw Refinement, which would be the completion of the Dragon Transformation Art. However, the further outward one refined, the slower the progress, equivalent to the extremities, where strength could not reach.

He took out the Flying Dragon Pearl and circulated the Dragon Transformation Art.

A thick golden aura quickly circulated, spreading rapidly along the blood vessels throughout his body.

The golden aura was constantly merging into the flesh and blood, and wherever it passed, the flesh and blood faintly gained some patterns. These patterns, upon closer inspection, were flower patterns, similar to some strange flower patterns he had seen.

An hour later, Chu Zhiyuan faintly felt a difference. His connection with his flesh and blood was three points closer.

His body became light and agile, more free, and his perception was more precise. Even without the assistance of extrasensory perception, he could feel every pore on his body. He was very curious what he would look like after completing this Flesh Refinement, and what strange changes there would be.

Looking at it now, it was the manipulation of the body that was becoming more precise and more free. Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.

The dragon's body was so huge, but it had no sense of clumsiness at all, obviously because it had extremely precise control over its body.

As for humans, not to mention such a large body, even gaining a few pounds would make them feel clumsy and powerless. The dragon's huge body was agile and free, and the changes in his Flesh Refinement had that flavor. “Rumble!”

“Bang bang bang bang…”

“You surnamed Dong, how dare you come here to be presumptuous?!”

“Haha…”

“Yun Qiuhua, when did your Inviting Moon Palace have a wild man? This is truly a strange thing under heaven!”

“Bullshit!”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Zou Fang floated out of the room, disappearing silently.

A moment later, he reappeared, as swift and silent as a ghost, and said softly, “Young Master, there are Grandmasters fighting outside.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “We can't intervene yet.”

“Should we…”

“No need.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “With them, it's not enough to overwhelm Inviting Moon Palace, nor is it enough for me to escape.” He knew what Zou Fang meant.

Taking advantage of their fight, first ride the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse and escape. The Grandmasters might not be able to catch up. “They really have great courage.” Zou Fang said softly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “It depends on whether we can keep them this time. If we can keep them, they will be quieter in the future.” Extrasensory perception was released again.

Within a radius of five hundred meters, he saw nine Grandmasters fighting, six against three.

Six Inviting Moon Palace Grandmasters were dealing with the other three Grandmasters.

Above the heads of the Inviting Moon Palace Grandmasters, a huge bright moon hung above the white jade palace, casting silver light.

Above the other three Grandmasters, one had a jade cauldron hanging over his head. On the hundred-meter-high jade cauldron was carved a picture of ten thousand people worshiping. Above another Grandmaster, a three-headed, six-armed strange man stood in the void.

The thirty-meter-high strange man had purple skin, and each of his three faces had a different expression: anger, calmness, and a strange smile. Each of his six arms held a weapon. Above the third Grandmaster's head was a crescent moon, like a silver hook.
