Exploring Immortality Cultivation

After arranging accommodations for eight young men, Wang Qi gathered everyone in the courtyard and then threw out a silver suitcase: "Inside are twenty-four Memory Bodies—oh, the same kind of Magic Foundation I used for Brother Du, still in the research stage. By the way, I actually made twenty-six, but 'Ghost King' and 'Tusk' each involve the core Cultivation Methods of Wanfa Sect and Tianling Ridge, so I can't give them to you."

Du Bin nodded in understanding. Wang Qi hadn't reached the point where he couldn't advance, and it was unwise to fall out with the Immortal Alliance. Even if Wang Qi gave him the Modern Magic Foundation, he wouldn't dare accept it. He was competing for a spot as a Nascent Soul, how could he accept the power of Modern methods?

Rather than seeking the one in ten thousand path of the Primordial Spirit, it was better to honestly follow the path of the Nascent Soul, which was guaranteed success with the right resources. Moreover, his family elders had also mentioned that Modern Heretics had some flaws; although powerful for a time, they might lack destiny…

Each of the eight young men chose an external Magic Foundation. Wang Qi glanced over and identified them as Iron Intent, Moon God, Red Heart, Mechanism, Gale, Undying, Jichi, and Heavenly Phenomena.

"You all have quite the knack for choosing," murmured Wang Qi, taking out eight contracts: "Take a look, and if there are no problems, then sign. Go ahead and sign."

The eight young men all looked at Du Bin for guidance. Du Bin cleared his throat softly and took a contract to read thoroughly. Wang Qi, impatient, explained: "In summary, these eight must actively cooperate with my empirical research and simply obey. Should they cause the empirical research to fail for any reason, they will be responsible for compensation. Furthermore, they must not accuse me of hindering their advancement. I also guarantee that I will not harm their lives. If the empirical research causes irreversible injury, I will be responsible for their financial needs for the rest of their lives."

After Du Bin finished reading, he nodded: "Yes, that's correct. It's acceptable."

The eight young men signed the contract, and Wang Qi then inserted the Memory Bodies into their bodies.

Since Wang Qi had temporarily lost the Life Flame, he currently couldn't exert enough Negative Entropy Force to automatically synchronize the young men's Mana Flow with the external Magic Foundations, forming a new orderly System. Upon the foreign objects entering their bodies, the Mana flow in the young men became disrupted, each of their faces turning pale with large beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

Wang Qi said, "Take a moment to rest, catch your breath. Brother Du, what about the item I asked for yesterday?"

Du Bin watched Wang Qi put away the suitcase carrying the Memory Bodies and then laughed: "Haha, Brother Wang, you truly are a straightforward man, it's here."

He then swiped on his Storage Bag, and a large box one meter tall, one meter wide, and two meters long appeared in front of Wang Qi. Wang Qi casually opened it and found it densely packed, piled with thousands of Innate Divine Seals.

"Most of these are not strong Divine Seals, but there are some usable ones," Du Bin, having experienced the usefulness of Wang Qi's Coins, paid extra attention to this.

Wang Qi asked, "Where did all these come from?"

He didn't believe these Divine Capital Nobles had the inclination to fight to the death with the Demon Clan in the Western Border or overseas. But beyond that, how many places in Shenzhou could produce such a quantity?

Du Bin clarified for Wang Qi: "Brother Wang, the Guardian Envoys in the Western Border keep the spoils of slain Demon Clan members for themselves. The Immortal Alliance only buys parts that are valuable for research, like mutants, or those with principles not yet understood. Some Innate Divine Seals or skins and bones that the Immortal Alliance does not buy end up circulating in the market."

"Then, among the Divine Capital Nobles, many love collecting. These oddities not bought by the Immortal Alliance are the best collectibles, and there are always some who indulge in such pursuits."

"Every year in Divine Capital, some struggle and fail, losing everything they own. Naturally, their collections then come to light."

Wang Qi's expression was odd: "Ah, even the Noble Families of Divine Capital vie for power and profit?"

I wonder what it is you are fighting over… Although officially you are the heads of Da Lian, even mortal officials know that it's the Immortal Alliance that rules Shenzhou…

Du Bin laughed: "The financial resources the Immortal Alliance allocates to Divine Capital are limited. If there are too many Divine Capital Nobles, they run into deficits. Thus, each year a portion of Divine Capital Cultivators leave Divine Capital, giving up certain powers held by Divine Capital People, to live as ordinary Modern Cultivators. Some also leave voluntarily, integrating into that world."

Wang Qi inquired, "I want to ask, why... it seems like the Immortal Alliance is currently prevailing?"

"Out of tens of thousands, how many possess a Primordial Spirit?" Du Bin said with a bitter smile. "The path of the Nascent Soul can be achieved by anyone as long as their talent isn't too poor, with enough financial resources to back it up. But the path of the Primordial Spirit..."

Wang Qi packed up the box and shook his head, choosing not to comment on this.

Soon, the eight teenagers who had external Magic Foundations implanted in them had all stood up again. Though their expressions were still pained, it was no longer affecting their movements. By now, their aura had undergone a significant transformation. Previously, they were merely Qi Cultivation Early Stage cultivators, the kind that achieved quick results, and their mana was insubstantial. But now, each of them had shown some characteristics of Foundation Establishment, and their mana had greatly strengthened!

The efficiency of the Magic Foundation in absorbing and transforming nature's spiritual energy was unknown, but many times more than that of the physical body!

Wang Qi called out, "Come, come, get up—now that you know the basic operations, right? Let's start with you."

The teenager Wang Qi pointed at gritted his teeth, waving his hand, and a flash of fire leapt from his palm.

"Red Heart, the heart inflamed. Derived from ancient Fire Element Cultivation Methods, once fully mastered, melting gold and dissolving iron will be effortless."

Du Bin was almost staring intently. He knew the caliber of the people he had brought for Wang Qi. His current position was not high enough to assign the elite from his family to others. These eight were all of low talent, and not very sharp-witted. The innate disadvantages of a quick cultivation method meant Wang Qi could not use any powerful spells, just relying on physical strength to bully mortals. Yet, now that Wang Qi had implanted a Memory Body, they had mastered Divine Skills?

"Next up, Iron Intent, a combination of Gold Element Cultivation Method and Buddhist Method, tough and indestructible."

"Moon God, from the ancient Moon Worship Sect and Yanyue Sect, mana of Yin attribute, ever-changing..."

"Mechanism, a mix of Qi Mechanism from Thousand Mechanism Pavilion and mental method from Ancient Mo Family, mechanized and precise Qi Flow..."

"Gale, from Piaoyun Sect's cultivation method, quick as the wind, gentle as the breeze..."

"Jichi, pure speed, stimulating the physical body to its limits..."

…

Wang Qi introduced each one, leaving Du Bin dazzled, itching to snatch all the Memory Bodies from Wang Qi for himself. But Wang Qi had made it clear; these Magic Foundations could not be integrated into Golden Cores nor could they be re-adjusted, hence he must find people to experiment, prove, and improve upon.

Soon, the mana of the eight teenagers was exhausted, and they swiftly tired. Afterward, Wang Qi arranged for them to rest in his room.

Wang Qi followed the four teenagers staying in the East Wing into the room, and Du Bin followed closely behind. Seeing that the four teenagers were all staggering, Wang Qi let out a cold snort and released a white light. The white light swept over their bodies, quickly replenishing their vigor. Wang Qi said, "This power is called 'Holy Light.' I expect you to master this power in the days to come." He finished speaking and dropped four booklets.

Although Wang Qi's Holy Light and Holy Flame had evolved into Life Flame and had been sealed by Feng Luoyi, the foundation of Wang Qi's Heavenly Calculation Atlas was still there, allowing him to simulate the spells to some extent. Though not as effective as the original, it was still sufficient to eliminate fatigue.

Curious, Du Bin picked up a booklet. He was extremely curious about Wang Qi's magical spells.

"Great reverence for the supreme heavens, Earth's deep memory of universal peace, Human Element's True Nature relies upon... All virtuous beings sincerely worship, all wise beings praise in song, all truths universally respected... Saved by Holy Mercy Light from evil, rare is the eternal truth... Ah! Ah!" After reading just a few lines, Du Bin threw the booklet out in shock, "Brother Wang, have you lost your mind? This is... this is the Three Grand Benedictions of the Holy Infant Sect!"

The Three Grand Benedictions was indeed a witchcraft from the Holy Infant Sect. (To be continued. If you enjoy this novel, I invite you to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
