Chapter 322: Spirit Fish Offers Flesh, Golden Core Late-period
"I always feel like something seems to occupy your thoughts, young friend."
The dean looked at Li Ye with suspicion.
Particularly lingering for several breaths at his forehead.
Of course, she still couldn't perceive the mark left personally by the Moon God Wangshu; she merely sensed something amiss, which already indicated her cultivation was exceedingly profound.
"It's nothing."
Li Ye snapped back to reality.
He smiled apologetically: "After all, having just concluded many matters, my mind remains a bit unfocused, which has probably amused you, senior."
Hmm.
These words were, of course, false.
He was, in fact, immersed in the divine techniques of "Wangshu."
This divine technique… was simply beyond his expectations.
Although not one of the "Nine Songs," it is remarkably similar as if a great power forcibly continued another piece.
Perhaps because it wasn't intended for inheritance, even the Su Xing lineage, which masters the "Nine Songs," does not have this Dharma method, so the divine techniques within could be considered extremely audacious.
In simple terms, there are four types—New Moon, Full Moon, First Quarter, and Last Quarter.
Among them, New Moon and Full Moon can be learned during the Golden Core Period, while the latter two require Nascent Soul and even late-period Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation to barely learn.
And "New Moon" refers to the initial rise of the moon.
The function of this Dharma method is to allow oneself or help others to store one's vitality, or rather time and life span, into the moonlight for nurturing, gradually becoming a small moon rising with the moon.
The vitality and life span extracted with the "New Moon" method do not consume one's origin, and can recover slowly.
But these life spans and vitality are all usable.
It's known that many Dharma methods require consuming one's life span and vitality to perform; furthermore, these life spans, if used when nearing the end of life, can indeed extend longevity.
According to this divine technique's description, this method might achieve a certain sense of "immortality."
As for the other, "Full Moon," it seems slightly ordinary, representing the infinite Moon Power when moonlight is overflowing. Once performed, it allows oneself to be in a peak state, with spiritual power, vitality, divine sense, etc., neither increasing nor decreasing.
He had just been contemplating the power of "New Moon," which is why he appeared somewhat distracted.
Honestly speaking, it was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
Then he resumed the topic they were discussing: "You said you wanted to cooperate with me, and I can still make the decisions.
But are you sure this is what you want?
Demonic Qi is, after all, Demonic Qi, and if truly learned, there will certainly be unforeseeable matters, not to mention, to my knowledge, the conflict between Vast Righteous Qi and Demonic Qi is even harder to reconcile than water and fire."
——He knew that the suggestion of cooperation from a Divinity Transformation stage was surely made with some confidence, but he still had to lay the ugly truth bare beforehand.
Moreover, although he could take care, he would definitely prioritize his fellow disciples, as for Bitter Journey Academy… he wasn't familiar with them, and favoritism needed to be clearly distinguished.
No matter what, his own people cannot suffer grievances.
This is the most important.
The dean, hearing Li Ye finally relent, had a slight smile at the corners of her mouth: "Rest assured, young friend, I will certainly not renege on my words.
Moreover, if cultivation lacks hardship, then it isn't a complete journey...
By the way.
Could you give us a few more entry slots for the Hell Path Trial Palace? I am willing to pass on the subsequent Dharma method of the Life Breath Spirit Transformation Scroll to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Ye frowned and said, "I learned such a Dharma method during the Qi Refining Stage, is that really normal."
"Naturally, that's normal. This is a Dharma method that could be learned when the cultivation is not high. In 'Strange Tales,' there is a piece on mural painting quite similar to the Yang World and the Underworld.
It's all about inadvertently entering another world, and then experiencing such a surprising journey.
But I didn't expect your talent to be this good, having learned this technique so... adeptly, like you've really crossed the boundary between life and death."
She remarked casually.
After all, geniuses are indeed plentiful in this world.
Only Li Ye knew that he indeed might have crossed the boundary between life and death, but this was inconvenient to disclose to outsiders.
He merely responded with a few curt sentences, and with a few exchanges, determined the collaboration between the Four Seasons Sect and Bitter Journey Academy, but using the excuse of needing to scrutinize the contract carefully, stood up to see the dean off.
Once she was gone, Li Ye looked at the already drafted contract between him and the sect leader, who granted him the highest authority, even allowing him to represent the sect in signing contracts with other sects, so he had to exercise caution.
After thoroughly sorting out the contract, he felt some headache, realizing he had better let Ling come early to help him.
Otherwise, just this kind of inter-sect contract was complex enough to leave him somewhat dazed, while other complicated matters would consume his vitality even more.
"Could the sect leader be urging me to establish my own faction faster with such actions, where is there such a situation..."
He felt somewhat puzzled.
This indeed was something the sect leader could come up with.
It was unimaginable that they'd be so eager to hand over power to you.
Li Ye shook his head, set the contract aside, then grasped the Spiritual Jade that Wei Qingye gave him, silently reciting in his heart.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths—
"Whoosh!"
A sword light pierced through the space barrier, landing in front of Li Ye.
Wei Qingye manifested within the sword light.
He casually sat in front of Li Ye, then with a cheerful wave at the beaver: "Bring a pot of Earth Origin Spirit Honey Tea!"
"..."
The beaver displayed an indescribable expression but quickly brought over a purple jade teapot and poured tea.
