“Senior Brother Sun, if I were to change my cultivation technique now, do you have any recommendations?”

Gu Tianhong inquired.

“Different cultivation techniques grant varying divine skills.

If Junior Brother Gu wishes to enhance his sense of smell, he could cultivate the ‘Mouse Transformation Technique’ and the ‘Jade Bee Formula’.

To strengthen one’s physical body, one might consider cultivating the ‘Heavenly Lion Art’, ‘Golden Ape Fire Scripture’, ‘Scarlet Bear Codex’, and ‘Heavenly Elephant Prajna Art’.

For those desiring agility, the ‘Fire Crow Codex’, ‘Thunder Hawk Great Law’, and ‘Moth Transformation’ are suitable options.

There are many more superior techniques, which you can research in the Scripture Pavilion.

Regardless of the technique, cultivation usually requires the essence blood of monster beasts.

The higher the realm, the more advanced the essence blood needed.

At the height of such cultivation, one can transform into a corresponding monster beast to confront enemies, wielding incredible divine skills.”

Sun Sen spoke slowly.

“Senior Brother Qin, are those all the pros and cons of having a life-bound spirit beast?

I’ve heard that cultivators can merge with their life-bound spirit beasts,” said Qin Bao.

“To merge with one’s life-bound spirit beast, one must possess cultivation at least at the Core Formation stage, and the spirit beast must be at least third-order,” explained Sun Sen as he shifted the topic.

“Now back to the main subject, after recounting the life of our Grandmaster, let me tell you about the history of our Spirit Control Sect.

After our Grandmaster reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he responded to the call of the Wanjian Sect to participate in battling against the Barbarian Tribe, where he slew two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Barbarian Tribe.

Due to this merit, he gained a large piece of territory, establishing our sect…”

At its prime, the Spirit Control Sect boasted a Soul Transformation Cultivator and over twenty Nascent Soul Cultivators, ranking among the top seven forces of the Donghua Cultivation Realm.

However, after the Yuling True Monarch ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Barbarian Tribe produced two Soul Transformation Cultivators, leading to several major wars against the Human Clan of the Donghua Cultivation Realm.

The Spirit Control Sect naturally joined the battle, resulting in the loss of most of its Nascent Soul Cultivators, and from then on, it began to decline, retreating to secure its place within Qin Country.

With their lineage stretching back to ancient giants, the Barbarian Tribe was physically much larger than the Human Clan, possessed formidable bodies, and was notorious for their brutal and bloodthirsty nature.

More than a million years ago, there were seven clans in the Donghua Cultivation Realm.

The Fire Sun Clan was the strongest, dominating the other clans.

The Human Clan saw the rise of two prodigies from the Donghua Palace, renowned for their vast divine skills.

After the elder of the Fire Sun Clan, Yan Yao, ascended to the Spirit Realm, the Donghua couple negotiated with the great High Priest, Mu La of the Barbarian Tribe, to form an alliance against the Fire Sun Clan.

Facing overwhelming odds, the Fire Sun Clan stood no chance.

Three of their Divinity Transformation Cultivators were killed, and they were forced to cede most of their territory in order to survive.

With two remaining Divinity Transformation Cultivators, the Fire Sun Clan was not completely eradicated by the combined might of the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe, leading to a ceasefire and a period of recovery.

To streamline governance, the Human Clan divided their land into twenty-three states.

After the Donghua couple ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Barbarian Tribe allied with the Fire Sun Clan to launch an assault against the Human Clan, annihilating eighteen states and inflicting innumerable casualties.

The Human Clan’s forces in the Southern Border and Northern Sea were entrenched in battles with other races and couldn’t provide support.

It was during this tumultuous time that the Tianyuan Tribe from the Tianyuan Realm invaded the Qianyang Realm.

The Barbarian Tribe had no choice but to cease hostilities and collaborate with the Human Clan against the Tianyuan Tribe.

After repelling the invaders, the Barbarian Tribe was severely weakened.

The two Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Fire Sun Clan perished one after another, signaling the clan’s irreversible decline.

To quickly recuperate their strength, the Barbarian Tribe exterminated the Fire Sun Clan and four other races, annexing their territories and forming thirty-six major tribes.

Following the great war, the Donghua Cultivation Realm was left primarily with the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe.

A disciple with a Spirit-Sensing Sword Body emerged within the Wanjian Sect, achieving Core Formation before the age of two hundred, and advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage by his five hundreds.

With a grasp on the divine, he led the Human Clan in warfare against the Barbarian Tribe, slaying a Barbarian Divinity Transformation Cultivator and destroying one of their major tribes.

Since then, the Human Clan has frequently engaged in wars with the Barbarian Tribe, both suffering losses.

To this day, the Human Clan is divided into thirty-six states, while the Barbarian Tribe is reduced to eighteen major tribes, remarkably diminishing their territory.

“Alright, it’s about time for lunch.

You all head to the Spiritual Meal Pavilion for your meal.

Come back here at Shen Hour, and anyone who is late or leaves early will be reported to Master Uncle Liu,” Sun Sen said.

Shen Long and the others promised to comply and began to leave one after the other.

Upon entering the Spiritual Meal Pavilion, they saw Ning Qianqian having her meal.

Ning Qianqian’s food was lavish, with nine dishes and one soup.

Gu Tianhong’s eyes lit up, and he briskly walked up to Ning Qianqian, saluted with his fist, and said, “I am Gu Tianhong, Junior Brother, and it’s an honor to meet you, Senior Sister Ning.”

Ning Qianqian nodded without saying a word.

Tang Yuting, witnessing this scene, displayed a disdainful look on her face.

“Senior Sister Ning, may I join you at your table?

I have many things I’d like to ask you for advice on,” Gu Tianhong politely requested.

After finishing her bowl of Spirit Rice Meal, and ladling another bowl for herself, Ning Qianqian replied, “If you can eat more than me, then you may sit.

If not, never mind.”

Gu Tianhong gave a sheepish smile; while he could afford it, he couldn’t eat so much.

Shen Long paid no attention and just honestly got in line to receive his lunch.

Each person received a plate of tofu and green vegetables, with unlimited rice.

Both dishes were cooked with spiritual ingredients and contained spiritual energy.

Shen Long, Ye Yuqing, Ye Yutang, and Qian Dafu sat at the same table.

Shen Long scooped up a mouthful of rice, the grains shimmering and tender, pleasing to the palate.

Shen Long picked up a small piece of white tofu and placed it in his mouth, finding the flavor fragrant, the texture soft and smooth, with a delicate taste.

Then he picked up a green vegetable, which was refreshing and crisp.

After lunch, Shen Long left the Spiritual Meal Pavilion and came to the entrance of a small blue-tiled courtyard.

A plaque with the words “Qingcan Court” hung above the door.

He saw no formation and knocked on the door.

A voice came from inside, Lin Cheng called out, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me, Shen Long!”

Shen Long spoke.

The courtyard door opened, and Lin Cheng came out, warmly saying, “Senior Brother Shen, please come in and we’ll talk inside.”

Shen Long followed Lin Cheng into Qingcan Court, which was much larger than Qingmei Courtyard.

To the left stood a three-story blue loft, emblazoned with the words “Qingcan Pavilion.” To the right was a spirit field, and in the upper left corner, there was a fish pond.

In the spirit field, many spirit mulberry trees were planted, and a plain-looking woman in a blue dress was picking mulberry leaves.

“Senior Brother Shen, this is my wife, Chen Yue.”

Lin Cheng introduced.

“I’ve met Senior Brother Shen.

I’ve heard a lot about you from my husband.

I’ll make tea for you,”

Chen Yue said enthusiastically.

Shen Long waved his hand, saying, “No need, Junior Sister Chen, I’ll just say a few words and then leave.

Junior Brother Lin, I’d like to hire you to plant Silver Marrow Spirit Rice.

If it’s convenient for you now, let’s go find Senior Brother Qin and sign the contract in person.”

He had asked several other sect members, and Lin Cheng’s quotation was the same, with similar explanations.

Getting this settled sooner would allow him to focus all his energy on cultivation.

“No problem, but I’m tight on funds recently and would like to request an advance of half a year’s salary.

Rest assured, Senior Brother Shen, this will be written in the contract, and I won’t be able to renege.”

Lin Cheng said politely, as he had four sons who all reached out for cultivation resources, and he couldn’t favor one over the other.

“Alright then!

Let’s go!”

Shen Long readily agreed, and he and Lin Cheng left Qingcan Court.

The two went to Green Cloud Palace, where Qin Shan was attending to miscellaneous sect duties.

Upon hearing Shen Long’s intentions, Qin Shan didn’t refuse and acted as a witness.

Lin Cheng wrote three promissory notes, and both he and Shen Long made their handprints.

Each of them kept a copy.

“Here are twenty-four spirit stones, the wages for half a year.”

Shen Long took out twenty-four spirit stones and handed them to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng’s face showed delight as he received the spirit stones.
