Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#430 - negotiation

Li Chengfeng wore a smile, his words filled with sincerity: "We are all understanding people. If Senior has any requests, please speak frankly.

I, Li Chengfeng, have great ambitions. I wish to use the spiritual energy of this place to cross the threshold of Core Formation. Once I advance to the Core Formation stage, I will have even greater strength to help Senior. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Hearing this, the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor laughed like a resounding bell, his eyes flashing with admiration: "What a straightforward fellow!

This old man enjoys associating with outstanding individuals like you.

Over the long years, in the loneliness of over a hundred thousand years, all this old man seeks is a wish.

I hope you can carry my painting and seek out the whereabouts of that traitor, Jiu Xuan. Afterward, I will perish together with him,

Letting him endure my anger and torment for all eternity, accompanying him in reincarnation, never to be separated.

In the past, he deceived his master and annihilated his ancestor. Such evil deeds are bound to be condemned by the heavens. Even if his soul is scattered, I will whisper his evil deeds by the River of Rebirth, so that his infamy will be spread forever."

Li Chengfeng gently stroked his chin, a playful look in his smile: "The request of Senior, I will definitely fulfill? This is nothing to me? This request is really simple?"

The Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor nodded and smiled: "That's natural. This old man dominated the world throughout his life, but only mistakenly trusted that孽徒, leading to my current situation.

Now, I have seen through everything, and this is the only wish in my heart that remains unfulfilled."

Li Chengfeng nodded solemnly, smiling: "Junior will naturally do his best to fulfill Senior's wish.

However, Junior's current cultivation is still shallow, only at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. I fear it will be difficult to be competent.

But please rest assured, Senior. Once I break through to Core Formation, I will definitely go all out.

However, before that, I hope Senior can generously impart the Soul-Sealing Arts to Junior, so that Junior can study and ponder them carefully, and fulfill your wish as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor laughed heartily, his voice full of open-mindedness and boldness: "Young man, straight to the point, very much to my liking! Your talent,

This old man sees it clearly. It far surpasses my two useless disciples. Here, take it!"

With that, he waved his sleeve, and a ray of dazzling light pierced through the void, shooting straight at Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, quickly reaching out to catch it. Focusing his mind and looking closely, he saw golden light shining on it, and the four ancient characters "Soul-Sealing Scripture" were written on it.

A feeling of indescribable excitement surged in Li Chengfeng's heart. He knew that the "Soul-Sealing Scripture" in his hand was not just a secret manual, but also the origin of the Nine Profound Dragon Formation and countless restrictions and forbidden techniques.

The profound understanding of souls in this scripture was like a vast universe, deep and broad. With just a sweep of his divine sense, Li Chengfeng felt the infinite wisdom and power contained within.

He raised his head to look at the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor, his eyes filled with gratitude, and smiled: "Thank you, Senior, for your kindness in giving Junior such a precious scripture.

Junior will definitely go all out and live up to Senior's expectations. Once I advance to the Core Formation stage, I will definitely bring Senior's painting to that 孽徒 and let him experience the pain of ten thousand souls chasing his soul and piercing his bones."

Hearing this, the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor laughed heartily, as if even the surrounding air was trembling with it: "Good! It's a deal! If you are willing to make an oath to the Heavenly Dao, this old man will help you.

Not only will I help you break through to Core Formation, but I will also impart all my life's experience to you. After all, we are now in the same boat. Your success is my liberation."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's expression became solemn, and then he closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, solemnly making an oath to the Heavenly Dao. As the oath fell, there seemed to be a subtle resonance between heaven and earth. The Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Afterward, Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry to break through, but first checked the situation of his Substitute Death Puppet refining the Soul-Attracting Pill.

He knew that the path to breakthrough required caution and could not be rushed.

So, he sat cross-legged and began to quietly comprehend and deduce the "Soul-Sealing Scripture."

As the deduction deepened, Li Chengfeng seemed to have stepped into a brand new world.

The knowledge in the scripture was as colorful as a kaleidoscope, with restrictions, cultivation, Taoist arts, formations… all kinds of exquisite and unparalleled methods emerged one after another,

And they were interconnected, complementing each other, forming a vast and complex system.

Li Chengfeng was immersed in it, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. His eyes flickered with complex light, both a thirst for knowledge and an exploration of the unknown.

Finally, in a sudden epiphany, Li Chengfeng suddenly woke up.

He found that his understanding of souls had reached a new height, and his use of restrictions and forbidden techniques was even more handy.

The Soul-Startling Old Ancestor was increasingly surprised as he watched. This kid was indeed extraordinary.

He was not in a hurry to break through, but quietly comprehended the "Soul-Advancing Scripture", even though he was already at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, only one step away from breaking through.

This move made the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor both wary and helpless towards Li Chengfeng, secretly sighing that this child's mind was deep and meticulous.

After Li Chengfeng finished deducing, with a thought, the pill formula of the Soul-Attracting Pill appeared in his mind, and he suddenly realized that this was one of the "Soul-Sealing Scripture".

The scripture specializes in soul refining, covering a variety of techniques such as sealing, soul-slaying, wind soul, and soul-extinguishing, and the "Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art" and the Soul-Slaying Technique also originate from this book.

Li Chengfeng suddenly realized that the core of the "Soul-Sealing Scripture" was the missing "Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art".

Li Chengfeng's lips curled up slightly, rejoicing that he had accidentally obtained the "Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art", and knowing that it was profound and difficult to understand, he had only mastered the Soul-Slaying Technique so far.

In the past, Lou Xueyun also stopped here, and no one could break through. Now, Li Chengfeng, with the help of the scripture, suddenly became enlightened, and finally understood its true meaning: the scripture is the foundation for cultivating the "Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art". Only by mastering the scripture can one achieve something in the art.

The Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor really had reservations.

He did not pass on the "Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art" to himself, which is just like what he said, he has already seen through the world.

After this incident, Li Chengfeng understood that this old guy was also an old schemer, and he must not be calculated by him.

He did not dare to slack off, and immediately integrated the learned techniques and slowly cultivated.

He used himself as a furnace, borrowing the power of historical dust, and quietly cultivated the legendary technique "Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art", even the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor could not detect it.

After more than a year of hard cultivation, Li Chengfeng finally pushed this technique to the peak realm of the late attack stage, his soul cultivation significantly improved, and his understanding of the Battle Soul Technique became more profound.

He was now in a state of perfection, at ease. Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry to succeed, but the Jin Soul Old Ancestor seemed quite anxious.

Li Chengfeng, however, was leisurely and content, treating this place as his own cultivation paradise, cultivating as he pleased, without fear of sneak attacks, because the leap in strength made him full of confidence.

He knew that although the time consumption was great, every bit of progress was worth it.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng's aura had changed greatly after cultivation, and his strength had significantly increased, the Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor couldn't help but be surprised, wondering why this scripture had such an extraordinary effect on him.

It turned out that the core of the Soul-Sealing Scripture lies in cultivating the soul, especially the Soul Refining Nine Heavens Art, which can make the soul become stronger in countless times of condensation.

Although the process is unspeakably painful, every moment when the soul is broken and reborn allows him to have a new understanding of himself.

Now, Li Chengfeng had a 90% certainty of advancing to the Core Formation stage, which was 30% more confident than before cultivation. The efforts of the past year had not been in vain.

Li Chengfeng got up, clasped his fists, and said with a slight smile, "Also. Please help, Senior. The amount of spiritual energy I need when advancing to Core Formation is too huge. I will use the power of the sea eye here. I hope Senior will not stop me, and help Junior a little at the appropriate time!"

The Soul-Sealing Old Ancestor smiled openly: "Don't worry, I will not only not stop you, but also help you. If you can break through to the Core Formation stage, maybe you can take me away from here."

Then, Li Chengfeng began to set up the formation, his technique was skilled.

He integrated the Nine Profound Dragon Formation and the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation in the Jin Soul Scripture, and used them smoothly. The magic formation jumped at his fingertips.

Locking the surrounding void firmly, at the same time, he also cleverly set up several life paths for emergencies.
