Chapter 1363: Chapter 513 Straight to the Mahayana Period, Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra_2

Facing the words of encouragement, the woman revealed a rare hint of a smile.

But she did not notice the flicker of irritation in Youquan’s eyes.

Suddenly,

Qing Shuang looked at the Pill Refiner man’s figure down the mountain and said out of the blue, "What you value in him must be more than just his Pill Refinement Technique!"

"How so? Emperor Liquor greatly aids in nurturing the power of Cangwu Mountain, and for that reason alone, he warrants my attention."

"Is that really the case, Youquan?" Qing Shuang asked with suspicion.

Youquan cackled, "Alright, I can’t hide anything from someone with a mind as crystal clear as yours! Just pay close attention to the Flames that Luo Chen invokes during his Pill Refinement!"

Qing Shuang looked over with curiosity.

Gradually, her face revealed a look of astonishment.

"Nirvana Sacred Fire?"

"Right, but also not quite!"

Youquan proudly proclaimed, "In the world, only Yuan Jun can master the Nirvana Sacred Fire. How could a mere Golden Core Cultivator possibly control the Nirvana Sacred Fire? However, you are not wrong to see similarities, for the Prosperity and Decline Fire that Luo Chen masters carries the embryonic form of the Nirvana Sacred Fire, embodying the profound secrets of life and death transformations."

Qing Shuang exclaimed in amazement, "Is this why you’re treating him so favorably?"

"There’s that reason!" Youquan lowered his voice, producing a strange sound, "Additionally, the boy is truly extraordinary. With a Five Spirit Root body, he achieved Core Formation in less than a hundred years. His mind is firm and exceptional, and his fortune runs deep. If not for you intervening, he would certainly have become one of the most distinguished geniuses among the Human Clan in the future!"

"Now, by controlling him, I not only strengthen our own power, aiding the growth and enlargement of Cangwu Mountain but also weaken the strength of the Human Clan. An opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, why wouldn’t I be happy to do it?"

"The most important thing is that the Emperor Liquor isn’t important—it’s the Transforming Pill that is the key to Cangwu Mountain’s rise!"

The mountain breeze blew, fluttering Qing Shuang’s blue robes.

Qing Shuang seemed contemplative.

After watching Luo Chen refining for a while longer, she casually remarked, "But clearly, his use of the Prosperity and Decline Fire is still at the most rudimentary level; I’m afraid he won’t be able to refine the Transforming Pill for you."

"How unexpected that Xiaoqing, who only knows Body Refinement and the Dao of Space, also has such understanding of the Fire Type!"

Youquan chuckled mischievously.

"Don’t worry, this is a trivial matter!"

"I have my ways to make him adept at using the Prosperity and Decline Fire so that he can refine the Transforming Pill for me!"

...

On the mid-mountain platform.

Luo Chen’s expression was unsightly as he refined the Emperor Liquor.

In one month’s time, with He Qingzi’s assistance, he had finally gathered a batch of the ingredients necessary for the Emperor Liquor.

That alone would have been fine.

Pill Refinement, after all, was his old expertise.

But regrettably, Youquan issued an order.

He was commanded to preside over the Pill Refinement in front of a large audience, and if any of the Flying Beasts or birds showed any interest in learning, he also had to personally clarify and answer their questions.

What did this mean?

It meant he was to become a teacher to these Demon Beasts!

It meant he had to impart his Pill Refinement Technique, freely.

Luo Chen had no way to refuse; the other party had spared him from a Soul Search and provided him with a Third-order top-grade cave mansion that could increase his cultivation speed ninefold—under such circumstances, it was impossible to refuse based on what’s conventional for a Pill Refiner.

Staking his life to prove a point wasn’t something Luo Chen was capable of doing.

Yet the thought of refining pills for Demon Beasts, instead of teaching the Human Clan’s Pill Techniques, was too great a disparity!

"If the Immortal Cultivators were to find out, my identity as a human traitor would likely be inescapable."

Luo Chen inwardly smiled bitterly.

Yet his hands did not slow down in the least; with a sweep of his sleeve, the lid of the damaged Official’s Cauldron was uncovered, and strands of golden liquid surged into the sky.

They flowed into the prepared Jade Vials by themselves, guided by his Qi Power.

This scene, like the brilliant vigor of the bright sun and the graceful descent of the full moon, was dazzling and bright.

Chirp chirp chatter...

Chirping bird songs filled his ears.

Now somewhat versed in Bird language, Luo Chen could tell that these were the praises from Cangwu Mountain’s first to third order Demon Birds, praising his impressive skills from their hearts.

Yet this praise sounded so grating to his ears.

If he had a choice, Luo Chen would have preferred none of it.

He turned to leave, but was intercepted by He Qingzi’s figure.

"I need to rest!"

"Next time you refine a pill, slow down the process; many didn’t catch the steps of your Pill Technique," He Qingzi said.

"If you can’t see clearly, it means they lack spiritual awareness and naturally don’t have the talent to become a Pill Refiner."

"Luo Chen, I advise you to put away your cockiness."

Luo Chen took a deep breath, trying to contain his displeasure as much as possible.

Yet, his words remained sharp, "That’s the way it is. Otherwise, Pill Refiners would be everywhere in the Immortal Cultivation World. Predecessor He Qingzi, you’ve been in the Human Cultivation World for many years, you should understand this better than I do, right?"

He Qingzi nodded subconsciously.

But quickly, she detected a hint of mockery in his words.

He was insulting her, calling her a traitor to the Demon Clan!

Just as He Qingzi was about to erupt with anger, she suddenly halted mid-sentence.

She turned and looked up in the direction of the Zhukong Hall, then glanced at Luo Chen with an indecisive expression.

"Master Qing Shuang and Lord Youquan want you to go up there."

Luo Chen was startled and subconsciously looked toward the massive palace that seemed to exist in an alternate space, flickering in and out of visibility.

...

This was Luo Chen’s first visit to the Zhukong Hall.

And his second meeting with that powerful demon cultivator named Qing Shuang.

Their eyes met, and Luo Chen’s heart trembled, prompting him to look down immediately.

In the hall, Qing Shuang still hesitated and transmitted her voice to Youquan, "Do you really want to pass on sister’s cultivation technique to him?"

"After all, it’s just the Golden Core Chapter that has been taken; it won’t hurt to give it to him. Besides, although Yuan Jun’s inheritance comes from Lianxia, she has already freed herself from restraints and no longer relies on that technique. Don’t worry, if Yuan Jun really seeks to punish, I will bear the full responsibility," Youquan said cheerfully, though her untransformed bird language, still bearing the mannerism of a black crow, sounded odd and unpleasant.

Qing Shuang responded noncommittally, "Well, if that’s the case, I’ll leave it to you. Sister already said that you’re in charge of all affairs concerning Cangwu Mountain."

"Don’t worry, but I will need your help later. Don’t forget that."

"Mhm."

Inside the hall, Luo Chen stood quietly with his head bowed.

The silence for a long pause put him under immense invisible pressure.

It felt as if his life was in someone else’s hands, with no room to resist.

Finally!

The black crow spoke in its odd accent.

"Luo Chen, has anyone ever told you that you are on the wrong path?"

Luo Chen was taken aback and instinctively raised his head to look directly at the speaker.

"Some have," he replied.

Youquan seemed indifferent to his bold gaze and nodded, "It seems that there are indeed some far-sighted individuals among the humans!"

Luo Chen reminisced about those who had guided him along the way, including Ascendant Master Cang Long and Chu Kui, who had been his brief sparring partner.

Reflecting on his memories, he slowly said, "Someone once told me that I am good with fire-type techniques, yet I practice wood-type cultivation techniques, going in the opposite direction, hence my strength is not fully utilized."

Youquan nodded slightly.

"And others have said that I possess the Five Elements Spirit Root, a foundation that is extremely solid, with the potential to ascend to the heavens."

Youquan did not disagree.

"Therefore, after my Core Formation, I began to attempt to correct the errors. I shifted from solely practicing wood-type cultivation techniques to dual path cultivation with wood and fire. Unfortunately, these techniques are closely guarded secrets of my sect, and I only obtained an incomplete ’Wood Burning True Technique,’ making my progress slow."

Youquan said with a smile, "The idea is good, and you have the initiative. But have you considered how long it will take you to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage with dual-path cultivation under the burden of a Five Spirit Root Talent? Will you have a chance to break through to Divine Transformation in this lifetime?"

At these words, a bitter smile appeared on Luo Chen’s face.

Indeed, he had pondered this question!

Or rather, he had deeply considered it at the time of his Core Formation.

Back then, he thought he would take it one step at a time and gradually resolve the difficulties of cultivation.

But despite years of effort and maxed-out resources, his advancement was still slow.

As for today, he hadn’t even had the chance to forge his Natal Magic Item.

Even now, with a Third-order top-grade Spirit Land, enhancing his cultivation pace, he was still unsure about the Nascent Soul Formation, let alone reaching Divine Transformation and becoming an immortal!

Dual-path cultivation was a hindrance, and the Five Spirit Root Talent had become a fundamental shackling.

Especially since he didn’t know how long he would be able to enjoy the benefits of the Third-order top-grade Spirit Land.

As he pondered with a wry smile.

Youquan spoke leisurely, "I have an unparalleled divine technique that can help you ’graft flowers onto different stocks,’ switching to the Dao of Fire. If you master this technique to perfection, you might even deceive the heavens, using a single Spirit Root Talent to break free from restraints for rapid cultivation."

"Do you want to learn it?"

Luo Chen was shaken and blurted out, "What technique?"

Youquan opened her mouth and spat out a feather of fiery color, which floated in front of her.

"’Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra,’ it leads directly to the Mahayana Period!"
