The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

He took out the dossier and, upon opening it, saw some records.

"In the 17th year of Taifeng, a resident of Jade City, Bai Qifeng, muttered in the middle of the night... in a daze during the day, and seven days later, underwent a transformation and died."

"Upon investigation, it was found that this person had accidentally witnessed a bizarre scene of the Demon Slaying Temple's captain slaughtering creatures."

"Determination: recalling the bizarre image led to a mental breakdown, ultimately transforming into the remembered bizarre entity."

Seeing the contents recorded in the dossier, his expression immediately became unpredictable.

"Can ordinary people not see the bizarre entities?"

Huang Lao nodded slightly, "That's right, ordinary people do not have Essence Qi protection and are completely defenseless against the bizarre entities."

"These bizarre entities all originate from various emotions and spirits."

"They are essentially intangible existences."

"Of course, this is just one explanation."

"The human spirit is fragile, and when exposed to these emotions and spirits."

"Their spirits will be assimilated by these emotions and spirits, eventually causing mutations within the boundless Essence Qi in the city."

"So, it is necessary to cleanse the memories of ordinary people, erasing the spiritual information in their memories."

Li Qing couldn't help but look shocked, "The world is really dangerous for ordinary people."

"Not only for ordinary people, even cultivators are equally at risk."

The more powerful the cultivator, the more dangerous they actually are, because sometimes, they may not even realize that they have undergone a transformation."

"And the ultimate result is an unimaginable disaster."

The two chatted idly, while Li Qing carefully studied the dossier in his hand.

It detailed many specific aspects, such as the bizarre actions of the infected individual.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, Wen Taiquan came to find him again.

"I knew you would come here to hide again."

Looking at Wen Taiquan, Li Qing asked, "What's up?"

"Your merits have been credited, let's go, we're going to the Mission Hall."

Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed, "Let's go!"

In less than fifteen minutes, Li Qing successfully obtained 15 merits.

Looking at Wen Taiquan, he said, "Where can I exchange for spells?"

Wen Taiquan glanced at him, "Come on, I'll take you there."

They wandered around the Demon Slaying Temple and soon arrived at a corner.

In this corner, a black palace was built, with a plaque hanging above the door - Treasure Hall.

The two entered, and it was quite peculiar inside, with black walls on three sides of the main hall.

The width was only about ten feet, and a table was placed here.

Behind the table sat an old man of about 70 years old.

He looked like a cultivator as well. As for his realm, Li Qing couldn't see through it.

Wen Taiquan said, "This place contains all the techniques, spells, and cultivation materials, but they are only listed in the catalog."

"After confirmation, the items will be brought from a special place."

"This is to prevent the loss of these items in case the Demon Slaying Temple encounters a crisis."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing sighed slightly in his heart, "It seems that the dream of picking up cheap items has failed."

Originally, he thought that this place would be like the Sutra Pavilion in novels, where he could freely choose what he wanted and secretly take all these scriptures.

Now it seemed that there was no chance at all, as precautions were taken very seriously.

This place was just an empty space. All the items had to be brought from a special place.

This maximized security but also made it impossible for him to obtain anything.

Wen Taiquan brought Li Qing to the front of the old man.

With a smile on his face, he said, "This is my friend, he wants to exchange for some cultivation items."

The old man nodded and took out a huge catalog, placing it in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing took the catalog and carefully flipped through it, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It contained different sections, such as cultivation, spells, Spirit Medicine, materials, Law Weapons, and esoteric techniques.

It was like a complete encyclopedia, recording at least a large part of the entire cultivation world.

At this moment, all the information in the catalog had appeared on the Jade Tablet.

There were no hidden items in the catalog, so there was no change in the information on the Jade Tablet.

A faint joy appeared on his face, "Now I can study it carefully when I go back."

"I need those techniques."

He quickly flipped through the section on cultivation techniques, and each technique had a brief introduction.

For example, it mentioned the main organ to be cultivated, the condensation of a certain type of Essence Qi, or a certain method of transporting Essence Qi through the meridians and the organs involved.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had seen over 300 different Foundation Building techniques.

Among them, there were over 200 techniques for refining artifacts and over 100 for refining Essence Qi.

Slightly moved, he thought, "Currently, I need a cultivation method specifically for organs to complete the 'All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth Mortal Dao Technique'."

Taking a deep breath, he selected three of the most suitable techniques.

"The Six Organs Devouring Spirit Technique," "The Skin-changing Technique," and "The Jade Bone Technique."

"I want these three techniques?"

Wen Taiquan looked at Li Qing's selection and furrowed his brow.

"Brother Qin, do you really want to cultivate multiple techniques?"

"This is very dangerous; every sect has its unique heritage."

"Cultivating different types of organ Essence Qi, unless they are from the same lineage, will lead to significant conflicts between techniques from different sects."

The final result could be transformation into a bizarre entity.

"I know, I want these techniques not for cultivation."

"There are other reasons."

Upon hearing this, Wen Taiquan nodded slightly, "As long as you know, that's good."

"Please don't do anything foolish. Once you cultivate more than three conflicting techniques, there is almost a 100% chance of transformation."

"Unless one has great wisdom and can integrate all the techniques into one, achieving a marvelous balance, it is possible to avoid transformation."

"But such a person only appears once in a millennium. At least, I have never seen a Perfected Being."

Wen Taiquan said with great emphasis.

Li Qing nodded, looking at the old man.

"When can I get these three techniques?"

The old man glanced at him, "Come back tomorrow morning to pick them up."

"Okay!"

...

The next day, Li Qing arrived at the Treasure Hall early in the morning.

The old man looked at the impatient Li Qing, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Haha, I can't wait."

As he spoke, he took out a pot of pear blossom wine.

"I passed by the Yellow Flower Tower and bought a pot, I don't know if you like it."

The old man's eyes lit up, "Haha, young man, you are considerate, come in."

As he spoke, he had already taken out the three cultivation techniques and placed them on the table.

After receiving Li Qing's pear blossom wine, he was already intoxicated by the aroma.

Li Qing picked up the three techniques, and the information appeared on the Jade Tablet.
