90.No wonder it's an inheritance from ancient times!

Xu Shan gave an embarrassed smile, but his mood improved a lot. At least it proved that this thing was getting more and more valuable. Being valuable was a good thing!

At this time, Huang Zhiwen spoke again, "Since you've figured it out, that's great. I believe that with your intelligence and talent, it won't be difficult for you to make a name for yourself in the cultivation world."

"I came to you today with two things. First, I've refined another Demon Heart Crossing Pill. Try it again."

Huang Zhiwen threw a pitch-black pill to Xu Shan. Xu Shan's face lit up, caught the pill, and swallowed it directly in one gulp.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Seeing Xu Shan pouncing on the pill like a rabid dog, Huang Zhiwen leaned back, and his facial features instantly scrunched together. What kind of person was this! He was so eager to experience the demon in his heart that he couldn't even wait. What on earth did he see in the demon in his heart?

Xu Shan chewed the pill. After waiting for a while with no reaction, he looked at Huang Zhiwen in confusion.

Huang Zhiwen let out a sigh and said, "It seems just as I thought. One of the ingredients, the Soul-Lost Water, will have a greatly reduced effect when taken the second time. The Demon Heart Crossing Pill can only be taken once."

Xu Shan was extremely disappointed.

"What if I take several pills at once?"

"...."

Huang Zhiwen rubbed his face. His mind was in a mess. He felt like he was in a dream and also a bit doubtful about life. Were the cultivators of the new generation all like this? What on earth were they thinking in their heads!

"Taking several pills won't help either. It can only be used once! Do you think these pills of mine are blown here by the wind? The materials are extremely expensive. How many more do you want to take?"

"If you really want to experience the demon in your heart so much, wait until you're promoted to the Golden Core stage to experience it," Huang Zhiwen said helplessly. "Now, let's talk about the second thing. I'm here to guarantee your safety for fifty years. This Immortal Controlling Order is yours from today."

After saying that, the Immortal Controlling Order appeared in Huang Zhiwen's hand.

"This order was refined by the Taigu Pavilion..... With it, you can establish a sect. After crushing it, people from the Taigu Pavilion will come on their own initiative. You don't have a chance to find some blessed land or celestial cave. There are people chasing you outside, so don't run too far. Just find a random village near me and announce the establishment of a sect."

Xu Shan took the Immortal Controlling Order and felt it was extremely absurd. Establishing a sect with this thing was equivalent to directly joining the most top-level sect union organization in the cultivation world. It was like someone telling him to draw a circle on the ground with a stick and announce the establishment of a country on the spot, and then directly join the United Nations in the next second!

"Master Huang, you're not kidding me, are you?" Xu Shan said hesitantly.

"It's definitely useful. In the future, we'll be neighbors. You help me sell pills, and I'll give you a share of the spirit stones," Huang Zhiwen said. "Do it whenever you're ready. And that sword canon, although you can't practice it, it's still very valuable to refer to."

"That's all. I've said everything I need to say and done everything I need to do."

Huang Zhiwen turned around and left neatly. Xu Shan quickly called out to him, "Master Huang, please wait a moment."

"Is there something else?" Huang Zhiwen turned around and asked.

"Uh... I've always had a question. Why is everyone chasing after the inheritance of the ancient cultivators? Is the cultivation world today really worse than in ancient times? It can't be that we're going backwards, right?"

This question had been on Xu Shan's mind for a long time. The cultivation world had always been relying on the achievements of the past, and it always felt wrong.

Huang Zhiwen gave him a strange look. "You're asking about such common sense? Didn't the Xinglan Sect teach you this?"

"No."

Huang Zhiwen smiled and shook his head. "The development of the cultivation world in ancient times was much longer than that of the cultivation world today. There was a great calamity in the middle, and a lot of things were lost. The cultivation world today is built on the remnants of ancient times."

"However, although the development time of modern people is short, in some aspects, we are even stronger than the ancient cultivators. At least, the cultivation world today has found a stable cultivation path that takes into account both the Dao heart and strength. Many cultivation methods that have only been passed down for a thousand years are no weaker than the ancient inheritances, just with different strengths."

"Today's cultivation methods mainly focus on being dexterous, strange, and unpredictable. In ancient times, the spiritual energy was abundant, and most of the remaining cultivation methods focused on power and didn't care about the consumption."

"The reason why cultivators are eager to fight for the ancient inheritances is that they can only get the ancient inheritances. Today's top cultivation methods are all hidden in the major forces, and there's no chance to obtain them. The ancient inheritances scattered all over the world are the best shortcuts for cultivators to rise to the top. It's a fair competition for everyone, as long as you have the strength and opportunity."

"I see..." Xu Shan murmured. "Then what was that great calamity?"

There was a bit more helplessness in Huang Zhiwen's smile. "It's a mystery."

"No one can imagine what kind of power could destroy the entire ancient cultivation world in a short time, not even giving people a chance to leave a last word. There's still no answer to this question. But it doesn't matter anymore. After all, it's been a long time."

"I've learned a lot, Master," Xu Shan said, cupping his hands in a salute. He had gained a lot today and was also quite touched in his heart. Huang Zhiwen had really been kind to him. If it were someone with a bad heart, they would probably just snatch his inheritance directly. Even if they weren't bad, for someone with a more indifferent attitude, it would be normal not to remind him when they knew there was a problem with the cultivation method.

Watching Huang Zhiwen walk away gracefully with his hands behind his back, Xu Shan sank his mind into his consciousness. With a thud, a washing machine landed on the ground.

Without hesitation, Xu Shan summoned the Heart-Piercing Sword, held the sword with both hands with all his strength, and slashed down fiercely! The Qingyin prop was invincible, and he had never left any marks on it before. Today, with an Earth Rank eighth-grade magic tool in his hand, he wondered if he could make it change in any way?

Bang! There was a dull sound. Xu Shan's arms were suddenly thrown back, and his hands trembled uncontrollably from the rebounding force. Looking at the corner of the washing machine, there wasn't even a trace of a white mark.

Xu Shan reached out and touched it twice. He didn't feel any dents and laughed foolishly. What Earth Rank magic tool? It was worthless in front of the Qingyin! The Qingyin prop was just an accessory of the Qingyin, yet it had such a magical effect. He wondered when he could summon the main body of the Qingyin to use it. It must be extremely powerful. This was his greatest reliance for survival. After he settled down in the future, he had to go out and find more sesame oil to produce new props.

After sighing about the magic of the Qingyin prop, Xu Shan took out the Immortal Controlling Order and kept playing with it in his hand while falling into thought. Establishing a new sect, with his current strength and mindset, he was still completely unprepared. At least, he needed to have the strength of the Golden Core stage to establish a minimum-level sect. For now, it could only be a temporary solution.

However, if he had the strength in the future, it wasn't impossible to build a strong entrepreneurial team! The Heart-Piercing Sword Canon could completely serve as an entry manual for new members. If he mass-produced and distributed copies of the Heart-Piercing Sword Canon, he could attract a large number of cultivators to the vicinity of the sect. Wouldn't he make a fortune by opening a film and television city, a shopping mall, or something like that? If he attracted other sects to set up stalls, not to mention the commission, he could make a fortune just from the stall fees! And also...

As he thought about it, Xu Shan suddenly saw the light. The commercial value of this thing seemed to be much greater than its cultivation value. There was so much room for operation. After squeezing out all its value, he could even sell it. No wonder it was an ancient inheritance!
