Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Accepting Another Student (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Half a day later.

Zhong Shenxiu left the devastated Heavenly Ding Sect, still carrying with him the sect’s highest mental method—the Jade Liquid Returning Elixir Scripture!

"Alas... The Heavenly Ding Sect is really declining, the people’s hearts aren’t what they used to be."

Zhong Shenxiu’s original intention was to steal the scriptures, but methods and manners had to be considered.

If he had started without saying anything and picked off the Heavenly Ding Sect with a sword, he would definitely be cursed as a demon by the righteous factions.

If all the righteous paths were weaklings, it wouldn’t matter, but among the six major orthodox sects, there might be old monsters with sixth or seventh stage alchemy capable of matching him.

Among the Five Ultimate Beings, there were Ancient Spiritual Treasures!

Thus, he had to first seize a righteous justification.

This time, he deliberately chose when the Heavenly Ding Sect was preaching the Heterodox Golden Core Method, and as expected, the cultivators of the Heavenly Ding Sect did not disappoint Zhong Shenxiu and took action immediately!

And it happened under the watch of other famous sects, which gave Zhong Shenxiu enough reason.

Even if he exterminated the Heavenly Ding Sect, it was the other’s own fault for initiating, not him abusing his power.

The righteous paths couldn’t use this reason to rally an attack against him, and in the future, he only needed to worry about retaliation from the Heavenly Ding Sect, at most involving the Beast Taming Sect which had lost its Golden Core.

"It was the Heavenly Ding Sect who initiated, I was forced to defend myself."

"As for this Jade Liquid Returning Elixir Scripture, it was compensation given by the Heavenly Ding Sect afterward. Do you understand what compensation is?"

"Can matters of cultivators even be called robbery?"

...

He turned into a rainbow light, riding on Yu Tongzi, and in an instant, he traveled ten thousand miles, arriving in front of a cave dwelling.

Naturally, the noise startled Xu Guo and Xu Xin’er, the father and daughter who were hiding. They hurried out and only half relaxed when they saw it was Zhong Shenxiu.

"So, it’s the benefactor who has returned."

"Mm, I’ve gained quite a bit this trip. I need to seclude myself to contemplate the cultivation techniques and assimilate what I’ve gained."

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at Xu Guo and casually tossed a Seven-star Bright Jade Pill to him, smiling, "I also dug up a Golden Core along the way, perfect for you to use."

"This is..."

Xu Guo held the Golden Core, feeling the aura that matched his perfectly, and was somewhat stunned.

"I have a Heterodox Golden Core Method here. It’s a method for rapid Golden Core formation. Even if you have a flawed foundation, you can still cultivate."

With a wave of Zhong Shenxiu’s hand, a Outer Elixir Method entered Xu Guo’s mind.

Seeing this scene made Yu Tongzi shrink his neck, feeling like his Demon Core was also in grave danger.

It’s not that Xu Guo had no requirements, but there was still Xu Xin’er nearby!

"This Heterodox Golden Core Method is not the same as typical Dan Formation Methods. It uses an outer elixir as the foundation, and this Golden Core matches your aura without much rejection. If you refine this core, even if some primordial energy leaks, you can still attain a third-grade elixir."

Zhong Shenxiu chuckled.

The most crucial thing about the Outer Elixir Method was to avoid collision with the aura of the outer elixir, yet external materials and one’s own essence inevitably react negatively.

Like in the case of Miao Xian Sect, they used a year beast inner core to aid in core formation, but they still based it on the cultivator’s own Gang Sha Qi, only refining the inner core as a primary medicine for the elixir added in.

And the true outer elixir method requires the year beast inner core as the foundation, infusing the cultivator’s Daoist Skill and imprint into it, both are entirely different.

Xu Guo also had luck on his side with this Golden Core. It was from Xu Yuan, who had once taken his natural endowments and foundation. This Seven Star Bright Moon Pill initially contained half of Xu Guo’s essence, so the rejection could be reduced to the lowest level, and the Golden Core could be utilized to its fullest potential.

Even so, it still couldn’t maintain a second-grade level, at least dropping to third grade. Having a third-grade outer elixir was already quite good.

But even so, it was a stroke of great fortune, a leap to the heavens!

This was equivalent to Xu Yuan’s years of hard work in Cultivation and Core Formation, all done for Xu Guo, which could also be seen as a karmic retribution that the Heavenly Dao repaid!

"Is this... is this... Xu Yuan’s Golden Core?"

Xu Guo, with tears in his tiger eyes, suddenly knelt down, "Benefactor... Master... This disciple earnestly requests the Master to accept him into the sect, and I will surely serve diligently and face death unflinchingly!"

"I do not take disciples, you can just be a student for now."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily, this Third Grade Golden Core, achieved through the Outer Elixir Method, was indeed an interesting test subject.

During this seclusion, he had comprehended some new techniques of the Outer Dao Primordial Spirit Method, which might just come in handy.

"Student pays respects to Teacher."

Xu Guo bowed repeatedly.

"Haha, good... you are now my fourth student."

Zhong Shenxiu led the two into the cave abode, "Since you are my student, I shall properly explain the Outer Elixir Method to you, and personally assist in crafting this Outer Elixir to ensure it remains at Third Grade!"

Although the Outer Elixir Method was originally devised by Zhang Taiyi and later improved by Zhong Shenxiu with oversight and corrections from the Heavenly Show System,

having been simplified upon arrival in this world to become the Heterodox Golden Core Method, its success was not guaranteed.

One could only say that the chances of Core Formation were slightly higher than that of Golden Core Formation.

Those Loose Cultivators who originally had no hope of forming a core now had an additional slim chance, but whether they could seize it was another matter.

As with all alchemy, there was always a failure rate.

But with Zhong Shenxiu’s Grandmaster-level alchemy skills added in, it was different.

Of course, his intentions were not entirely benign.

How could he allow outsiders to meddle with something as secretive as the outer elixirs?

Now, having first taken it into his own hands and personally participating in its crafting, he could implant countless traps and controls.

In the future, should this student really defy the odds and make a breakthrough, achieving the Heterodox Primordial Spirit, he would have the means to control and ensure no disasters like betraying or killing the master would occur.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Xu Guo felt somewhat awkward with this address, and quickly added, "There’s no rush with this disciple’s affairs, but I still don’t know the Teacher’s name?"

"Oh?"

Zhong Shenxiu slapped his forehead, "Did I forget to mention before? Creation Zhong Shenxiu, who partitions the yin and yang, and from now on, just call me Creation Ancestor!"

Although this title sounded grand, Zhong Shenxiu felt that he indeed was the progenitor of cultivators in this world.

Bringing countless new techniques and secrets, passing down the Qi-harvesting method, Heterodox Golden Core Method, and even the Heterodox Primordial Spirit Method in the future.

One day, he would break the curse of chaos disrupting the Cultivation World where no Primordial Spirits emerge, nurturing numerous disciples of the Primordial Spirit.

Bearing the Primordial Spirit, their life span significantly extended, they could enjoy longevity.

In ancient times, perhaps they could be called — Loose Immortals!

Then, he, Zhong Shenxiu, would be the forefather of all side-branch Loose Immortals, certainly renowned through the ages, leaving a legacy for hundreds of years, even after thousands of years, still a sung hero!

With this, how could he not deserve a title of creation?

"Creation Ancestor!"

Xu Guo, pulling his daughter, paid respects again, his heart brimming with joy, "I, Xu Guo, faced great adversity in youth, a life of hardship, never expecting to meet a teacher in my old age, from bitterness comes sweetness, major grievances avenged, truly... truly... I would die without regrets."

"This Creation Teacher is clearly an all-seeing ancestor... Having such wonderful methods, I must first test them, then let Xin’er also join the sect as my disciple, the grandchild of the old ancestor, surely destined for a bright future..."
