Xianxia :I live for ever in Cultivation World

Was there nothing?

Or...

For a moment, He Song's mind raced with various guesses, but ultimately, due to insufficient information, he couldn't deduce anything.

He could only look at the remaining jade slips.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind.

What kind of techniques might be hidden in these remaining jade slips?

Glancing over the remaining jade slips, a gleam appeared in He Song's eyes.

These jade slips...

They were likely a great opportunity!

Could this be the opportunity Mi Cang had repeatedly mentioned?

Then, what did he mean by "Foundation Establishment"? Was it a secret technique for Foundation Establishment? Or...

Looking down at Mi Cang's remains, now reduced to ashes, He Song fell silent for a moment.

But in the end, he sighed and collected all the ashes into his storage pouch for future use.

Unfortunately.

He hadn't yet reached Foundation Establishment, so he couldn't learn Soul Searching Technique.

If he had already reached Foundation Establishment, he could have used Soul Searching Technique on Mi Cang while he was on the brink of death.

Perhaps then he would have known what Mi Cang meant after saying "Foundation Establishment."

It wouldn't have ended like this, with only a few jade slips.

Weighing the jade slip in his hand, He Song quickly calmed himself.

These jade slips.

Especially the Dantian Settling Technique he had just obtained, were already an enormous opportunity.

Rather than lamenting over what he hadn't gotten,

it was better to make use of the jade slips he already possessed.

To grow stronger.

With this thought, He Song picked up another jade slip and placed it against his forehead.

**Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique**

"It can leave a mark on any object. Even if the mark disappears, the seven unique fragrances it leaves behind will linger on the object for up to seven days."

"No wonder, no wonder he was able to track me here from the immortal market. So he had such a tracking secret technique."

In the cultivation world.

Ordinary wandering cultivators or immortal market cultivators could only buy ordinary spells.

But techniques like Mountain-Suppressing Sword Art, Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique, Dantian Settling Technique, and so on...

These spells that ordinary wandering cultivators couldn't even dream of were collectively referred to as secret techniques.

Secret techniques.

They were usually the foundation of sects and noble families, rarely seen by ordinary wandering cultivators.

And the Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique He Song now held was also classified as a secret technique, far more powerful than ordinary tracking spells.

With such a tracking secret technique, if He Song ever wanted to hunt someone down, he could silently plant a mark on them and track them continuously.

Putting down the jade slip, a trace of admiration flashed in He Song's eyes.

"This Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique, I wonder which sect's secret technique it is. Though it's called 'Seven Fragrance,' it's colorless and odorless. With just a faint trace left behind, it can track over extremely long distances."

Admiring it, He Song secretly resolved to immediately learn this secret technique upon returning to his sect.

With this technique, whether he wanted to track people or objects, it would be quite convenient.

After storing the jade slip containing the Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique in his storage pouch, He Song picked up another jade slip.

Gently placing the jade slip against his forehead.

He Song's brow furrowed.

The expected surge of information didn't come; instead, a sense of resistance emanated from the jade slip.

Taking the jade slip off his forehead.

The resistance disappeared.

He tried placing it against his forehead again.

Instantly, the resistance reappeared.

After trying for a long time without being able to break through this resistance,

He Song looked puzzled.

A jade slip that couldn't provide information? Why did Mi Cang carry it around?

But after some thought, he still put it into his storage pouch.

However, this jade slip that couldn't provide information was placed separately in a corner.

"Perhaps, one needs to reach a certain level of cultivation to break through this resistance?"

Thinking of this, He Song soon remembered that after reaching Foundation Establishment, spiritual awareness would emerge.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, the spiritual energy in a cultivator's body would transform into magical power.

Soul strength would also transform into spiritual awareness.

At that point, a cultivator's spiritual awareness would be strong enough to leave the body and investigate.

Presumably, it could also break through the resistance contained in this jade slip.

Even if it couldn't be broken at that time, he could wait until his cultivation advanced further and try again.

Anyway, the jade slip was in his possession and wasn't going anywhere.

With this thought, He Song picked up another jade slip.

Placing the jade slip against his forehead.

A flood of information immediately surged into He Song's mind.

**Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique**

Similar to Mountain-Linking Wind Riding Technique, but once mastered, each step taken would be accompanied by a strange fragrance.

If enemies pursued, the scent could confuse their minds.

After reviewing all the information about the Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique, He Song glanced at the empty space in front of him.

On the empty ground before him, Mi Cang's ashes had already been collected into He Song's storage pouch.

Thus, the area was barren.

But despite this, He Song's expression remained odd.

This Mi Cang... Did he dig up some sect disciple's grave?

Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique.

Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique.

Would there be something like Seven Fragrance Whatever Technique next?

The Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique was useless to He Song.

He had already mastered Mountain-Linking Wind Riding Technique and didn't need another wind riding technique.

Therefore, after removing the jade slip from his forehead, He Song tossed it into his storage pouch.

Then, he picked up another jade slip.

Placing this jade slip against his forehead.

He Song's expression turned odd.

**Hundred Flowers Technique**

After cultivation, one could manipulate spiritual energy to transform into a strange fragrance enveloping oneself, with the effect of confusing others' minds.

When attacking, a fragrant breeze would accompany the strike. Once smelled, it would affect the opponent, causing their spiritual energy to become chaotic.

"Isn't this Hundred Flowers Technique the foundational skill of Qiong Hua Sect?"

"Did Mi Cang dig up a Qiong Hua Sect cultivator's grave?"

Qiong Hua Sect, located south of Earth Sect, had its name, basic skills, and location memorized by He Song when he first arrived at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market and browsed the surrounding forces in the Spirit Skill Pavilion.

If he remembered correctly, Qiong Hua Sect was a Golden Core sect located south of Earth Sect and belonged to the righteous path.

But how did relics of a Qiong Hua Sect cultivator end up in Mi Cang's possession?

With a hint of doubt, He Song put away the jade slip.

But several guesses soon formed in his mind.

Perhaps the Qiong Hua Sect cultivator died within Earth Sect's territory.

Perhaps Mi Cang fled from Qiong Hua Sect's territory and entered Earth Sect's domain.

Perhaps Mi Cang obtained these jade slips from someone else.

Perhaps...

After pondering for a moment, He Song shook his head and stopped thinking too much.

Knowing the origin of these things was enough.

In the future, if he encountered Qiong Hua Sect cultivators, he wouldn't use these secret techniques.

Feeling reassured.

He Song stored the jade slip in his storage pouch and picked up the last jade slip.

However, just as He Song placed this last jade slip against his forehead, a sense of resistance surged from the jade slip in his hand.

After trying unsuccessfully once more,

He Song had no choice but to give up.

"Six jade slips in total."

"Dantian Settling Technique, Hundred Flowers Technique, Seven Fragrance Wind Riding Technique, Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique, and two jade slips that couldn't provide information."

"For now, let's set them aside. With the Dantian Settling Technique and Seven Fragrance Tracking Technique, this trip was already a great opportunity."

"Perhaps, after I break through to Foundation Establishment, I'll be able to obtain something good from those two remaining jade slips."

After collecting all the jade slips, spirit stones, and other miscellaneous items, He Song mentally tallied his gains and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The loot he obtained from Mi Cang was substantial.

Especially the Dantian Settling Technique.

Such a secret technique that increased the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment was truly priceless.

It was something that could be considered a sect's foundational treasure!

With such a secret technique, a cultivator's chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment would greatly increase.

If a Foundation Establishment family obtained such a secret technique, their strength would likely expand several times over in a short period.

As the number of Foundation Establishment True Persons in the family increased, so would the resources they acquired.

Perhaps they could even nurture a Golden Core True Lord.

At that point, they might rise to become a Golden Core family!

However.

Regarding the Dantian Settling Technique, He Song always harbored doubts.

Such a secret technique.

Logically, it shouldn't appear in the hands of a small-time cultivator like Mi Cang.

Even if he really dug up a Qiong Hua Sect cultivator's grave, he probably wouldn't find something so precious.

So, where did this thing come from?

He Song thought for a long time.

But found no leads.

With no other choice, he could only keep this secret technique in his heart and treat it as a closely guarded secret.

This matter.

Absolutely couldn't be revealed.

Even after reaching Foundation Establishment, he had to keep his lips sealed about it.

After all, such a secret technique that could increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment was too exaggerated.

After packing everything up, He Song stayed in the small valley for two full days.

Seeing no one coming after him, He Song finally deactivated the formation and continued toward the next immortal market.

He still had eleven thousand catties of spirit rice on him, and this trip out of the sect was primarily to sell it.

However, this time.

When heading to a new immortal market to sell spirit rice, He Song, as usual, found a small valley dozens of miles away, set up formations.

After the incident with Mi Cang, He Song naturally prepared a fallback plan for himself.

Setting up formations to enhance his own strength became He Song's preferred option.

But this time, He Song didn't encounter anyone like Mi Cang again.

This time, after presenting eleven thousand catties of spirit rice, the steward of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion who received him immediately gave He Song a warm smile.

Then came the familiar process of demanding kickbacks.

Eleven thousand catties of spirit rice.

The other party offered ten thousand spirit stones.

But demanded fifty spirit stones as a kickback.

Naturally, He Song wouldn't refuse.
