126.The Purple Crane Grand Gift Package!

"No?" The Purple Crane True Man's smile froze. Xu Shan's answer actually made him feel a little heartbroken. The Yin Water of the Earth and the Thunderlight Essence were both Heaven - Rank, Fourth - Grade rare and precious materials! With these two things, it was more than enough to force a cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage to reach the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage! To put it bluntly, it was a waste to use them on a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

Moreover, the Purple Crane True Man would check on Xu Shan's cultivation process from time to time. He even thought Xu Shan's diligence was a bit excessive. He didn't just sit in meditation, close himself off, circulate the spiritual energy in the周天, and comprehend the rhythm of the cultivation technique, the kind of cultivation that would last for decades in seclusion. Instead, he suffered alternately in the two extreme states of thunder and cold. He was completely a cultivation fanatic. Ordinary cultivators didn't have that kind of drive.

Even if his talent was low, with such rich spiritual power, he should have made it. How could it be like this? Could it be that this kid was secretly studying something else?

The smile on the Purple Crane True Man's face gradually faded. "Oh? Have you been slacking off in your cultivation?"

Xu Shan had already prepared his explanation. He said with a look of fear and respect, "I wouldn't dare, Master. The cultivation technique I practiced before was called the Mysterious Heaven Technique. It was taught to me by a wandering cultivator senior who led me into the cultivation path. The energy circulation route of the Mysterious Heaven Technique conflicted with that of the Spotless Mysterious Book. I tried my best to adjust it before I could completely switch over."

"Although I haven't broken through to the Great Perfection stage, I'm only one step away. As long as Master gives me less than a month's time, I'm sure I can break through to the Great Perfection stage!"

"Stretch out your hand and circulate your spiritual power," the Purple Crane True Man said indifferently.

Xu Shan stretched out his hand and did as he was told. After three breaths, the Purple Crane True Man's expression softened a bit, and he released the hand that was placed on Xu Shan's wrist.

It was indeed just a little bit away from breaking through. If he gave him a little more help, it wouldn't be considered a waste of time.

"All right. Give me a punch with all your strength."

Xu Shan punched with all his strength and didn't hold back at all. The Purple Crane True Man blocked it casually and said with satisfaction, "Good. Your physical body has made remarkable progress. Just with your physical strength, a cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage would have a hard time defeating you. It seems that the effects of those two ponds are quite good."

"Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation during these six months?"

Xu Shan said, "I don't have any problems for now. But I think the Spotless Mysterious Book is extremely profound. I've always been confused about what rank of cultivation technique it is. I wonder if Master can help me solve this confusion?"

What rank it is... When this question was mentioned, the Purple Crane True Man felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know either. Besides the Spotless Mysterious Book, the best cultivation technique he had seen was a Earth - Rank, Second - Grade one... The Spotless Mysterious Book was indeed obtained from an ancient immortal's tomb and was also a cultivation technique practiced by ancient powerful beings. He wanted to practice it, but this cultivation technique didn't match him at all. And when he obtained it, he was already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. He couldn't afford the cost of changing to a new cultivation technique.

Thinking carefully, looking at Xu Shan's current changes and the circulation of his internal spiritual energy, it should at least be an Earth - Rank, Fifth - Grade cultivation technique...

"Heaven - Rank! A Heaven - Rank, First - Grade cultivation technique."

"This is actually a legendary Heaven - Rank cultivation technique?" Xu Shan was shocked. Huang Zhiwen had only taken a couple of looks at a Heaven - Rank cultivation technique, and now he was practicing it? This risk wasn't taken in vain. Just this incomplete cultivation technique was worth it.

The Purple Crane True Man felt a little心虚. Stroking his long beard, he said calmly, "Well, this cultivation technique was passed down from the inheritance of ancient powerful beings. Such powerful people could turn mountains and seas upside down and make the space crack with a wave of their hands. It's beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators. You just need to know its preciousness and focus on practicing it."

Xu Shan frowned and sensed something was wrong. "Master, the ability to crack space sounds extremely powerful. But why are storage bags everywhere? That doesn't make sense."

"Uh...?" The Purple Crane True Man obviously didn't keep up with Xu Shan's train of thought and was stunned on the spot. When he suddenly realized that he had been led astray, he was a bit annoyed and said, "The reason why storage bags are so popular is that the refining process requires adding the powder of the Space - Containing Stone. This kind of ore has a rich reserve, so storage magic tools are naturally not worth mentioning. Don't you even know this common sense?"

"Then this Space - Containing Stone..."

"All right. Stop asking these useless things," the Purple Crane True Man said impatiently.

Xu Xian probably had something wrong with his head. Maybe he was stimulated when he saw the decline of the royal family when he was a child. But all these questions he asked were just a bunch of random and useless things. It was really annoying. Listening to him for too long made him feel that Xu Xian's thinking was abnormal and it might affect the future transformation results.

As soon as he saw that the Purple Crane True Man was unhappy, Xu Shan straightened his face and said, "Master is right to scold me. But I have another impertinent request."

"Speak."

"Can you give me the complete version of the Spotless Mysterious Book?"

"..." The Purple Crane True Man looked at Xu Shan, his eyes wide open! Had he always been this straightforward? He actually asked for the complete cultivation technique directly? You should know that even in an Orthodox sect, the Sect Master wouldn't pass on the cultivation technique to his direct disciples all at once. There's no such thing as doing things like this. What on earth was he thinking? Was he really brainless in some aspects?

Seeing Xu Shan staring at him intently, the Purple Crane True Man was extremely annoyed in his heart, but he still had to suppress his disgust and soothe him, "Xu Xian, you have to eat your meal one bite at a time and walk your path one step at a time. When you reach the next stage, I will naturally teach you. I definitely won't hold back."

"In the path of cultivation, you have to be patient and not be arrogant or impatient!"

Xu Shan lowered his head and said with shame, "I'm sorry, Master. I'm just too eager to make progress. What Master said today really makes me feel ashamed. But I still have another impertinent request."

"I don't dare to covet the complete cultivation technique. Even if I look at it, I won't be able to understand it all at once. But I still want to get the cultivation technique from the Core Formation stage to the Golden Core stage and study it. This cultivation technique is connected from top to bottom. Only taking one part will undoubtedly slow down my cultivation speed."

"Please, Master, give me the Spotless Mysterious Book up to the Golden Core stage and allow me to study and comprehend it."

After hearing this, the Purple Crane True Man felt much more relieved. This was more reasonable! Asking for the whole thing directly, he really wanted to slap this fool to death! Asking for the part up to the Golden Core stage was quite reasonable!

After a little thought, the Purple Crane True Man took out a jade slip and handed it to Xu Shan. "This is the cultivation technique from the Core Formation stage to the Golden Core stage. Remember to proceed steadily and don't be greedy or hasty."

Xu Shan had a look of ecstasy on his face. "Thank you, Master, for teaching me the technique!"

If you want to build a window, you have to tear down the roof first! Anyway, getting the Spotless Mysterious Book that can help him reach the Golden Core stage made him feel much more at ease about leaving in the future.

Xu Shan put away the jade slip and then asked, "Master, what should I do next? Should I continue to cultivate in seclusion?"

The Purple Crane True Man nodded. "That's right. You have to continue to practice hard in the cave. I've also prepared some materials to help you cultivate."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of pills in his hand. "This pill is called the Qianyuan Body - Transforming Pill. It's an Earth - Rank, Third - Grade body - tempering pill. Your cultivation level is too low. If you take this pill, your body may not be able to withstand the power of the medicine. Put the pill into the pond water and let it dissolve slowly."

"There are three pills in this bottle. Use one pill a year. After using them all up, even if you're not a body - tempering cultivator, you may be able to compete with others in terms of physical strength."

The Purple Crane True Man kept talking and took out another item. It was a golden bowl. In the bowl was a handful of silver sand.

"This thing is called the Thousand - Fathom Sand. It's a Mysterious - Rank, Second - Grade rare and precious material, taken from the Iron Bone Domain in the north. It's a commonly used material for body - tempering cultivators."

"The usage method is quite simple.
