’In that case, he should have access to the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Pavilion’s Scripture Pavilion. With that kind of exposure, he’d naturally be very knowledgeable. He might actually have some relevant experience.’
So, Xiao Chen sighed softly. "Alas, I have a friend who formed a Fake Pill in his early years."
"Later, after breaking through to the Golden Core realm, he found the Fake Pill had become useless, yet he couldn’t bear to just discard it."
"Do you happen to have any good solutions?"
Hearing this, Ling Tianyi instantly smiled. "So that’s the situation. What a coincidence, I actually do have a good solution."
"Not only can it make good use of the Fake Pill, but it also has another profound benefit."
"What did I tell you? This must be fate."
Huh?
’You actually have a solution?’
Xiao Chen pressed, "What kind of solution is it? How many Spirit Stones will it cost?"
’I’d heard the Demon-Vanquishing Sword Pavilion’s heritage dates back to Ancient Times. A starved camel is truly bigger than a horse—their sect must have countless Secret Techniques.’
"This Secret Technique isn’t outrageously expensive, originally. Only fifty thousand Spirit Stones. However..."
Ling Tianyi paused, then changed his tune. "You may not be aware, but this Secret Technique involves some of my sect’s secrets."
"Under normal circumstances, it’s not something we can easily share with outsiders."
’That excuse was obvious bullshit.’
’Translated, it meant three words: Gotta pay more!’
Xiao Chen was a bit speechless. "Why don’t you just say it outright? How many Spirit Stones do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tianyi’s gaze flickered.
He was tempted to name a high price but found himself hesitating.
He knew full well that while this Secret Technique for advancing a Fake Pill was indeed profound, it was also ancient.
Its origins were lost to time, but it dated back at least several hundred thousand years and had two major flaws.
First, it was extremely expensive, requiring a vast amount of Spiritual Objects.
Second, the cultivation requirements were harsh. The Cultivator either had to be under one hundred years old, at the peak of their Qi Blood, or they needed a foundation in Body Refining, possessing abundant Qi Blood.
The reason for the Qi Blood requirement is that this Secret Technique was derived from an ancient Body Cultivator’s technique, the Qi Blood Embracing Pill method.
Ling Tianyi glanced at Xiao Chen.
The man looked middle-aged, which likely put him at around two hundred and fifty years old.
He was on the thinner side with soft, fair hands—he didn’t look like a Body Cultivator.
Selling this to him at a high price would be almost equivalent to scamming him.
As for this supposed "friend"—well, everyone knew what that meant.
After a long hesitation, Ling Tianyi took the initiative to explain the drawbacks.
Only then did he say, "If you don’t mind these two flaws, I will sell you this Secret Technique for fifty thousand Spirit Stones."
"But let’s be clear upfront: if you fail to cultivate it in the end, no regrets."
"No problem." Xiao Chen nodded decisively. "I just need you to swear a Dao Heart oath that you haven’t intentionally concealed any part of the Heart Method Mantra."
A Dao Heart oath might not be binding for an ordinary Cultivator.
However, for a genius Cultivator who had a chance at Nascent Soul Formation, it was quite effective.
"Alright!"
Ling Tianyi agreed at once. He first swore the Dao oath, then took out a blank Jade Scroll and inscribed the Secret Technique onto it.
Finally, he added a reminder, "This Jade Scroll will be destroyed after a single reading. Make sure your surroundings are secure when you use it."
Xiao Chen took out the Spirit Stones to complete the transaction. "Thank you for the reminder. I’ll keep that in mind."
He had the Secret Technique, and he had already toured every corner of Hundred Herbs City.
He returned directly to the small courtyard of his inn and, following the Array Map, set up the Nine Orifice Linked Array.
Only then did he activate the Jade Scroll. Instantly, a stream of information flowed into his Sea of Consciousness.
"Qi Blood intertwines... Holding True Yang..."
A short while later, Xiao Chen’s eyes snapped open. "So that’s how it works! What an ingenious design!"
This Secret Technique, named the True Technique of Merging Yang into the Pill, could almost be considered a Tier Breakthrough Secret Technique for Body Cultivators.
Not only could it solve the issue with his Fake Pill, but it could even help his Body Refining Cultivation advance another step.
Though he had the Nine Transformations Dragon Technique, breaking through to Tier Three in Body Refining would have still required some time to accumulate power.
But now, with this Secret Technique, achieving the Qi Blood Embracing Pill was just around the corner.
For the next half a month, Xiao Chen spent every waking moment nourishing his Qi Blood and cultivating the True Technique of Merging Yang into the Pill.
He even ate by swallowing raw Sea Fish meat, washing it down with Spirit Wine.
On the eighteenth day, he finally felt his Qi Blood condense and the Yang Qi throughout his body converge.
He had met the conditions for a breakthrough and could begin the attempt to merge the Fake Pill.
