Chapter 847: Chapter 65 Starting Nutritional Therapy from Today Chapter 847: Chapter 65 Starting Nutritional Therapy from Today “Why?” Yan Yu pondered for a while, “Because it produces Yin Dregs?”

“Exactly.” Sword Intent said indifferently, “Cultivation is not only about accumulating mana but also about refining the Yin Dregs in the Primordial Spirit. Why do cultivators of the Xuanmen Zhengzong, before Core Formation, often need to cultivate for two or three 60-year cycles, waiting until their lifespans are nearly exhausted to Cross Tribulation? It is to eliminate as much Yin Dregs as possible, making their Purple Mansion Foundation purer.”

“When you borrow someone’s Primordial Yin to break through your bottleneck, the Golden Core you eventually form will contain a part of that person’s Qi Mechanism, which is something you can’t eliminate later no matter what. With the Qi Mechanism connected, hidden dangers arise by themselves. For instance, if she is captured by some demon in the future, they could use this connection to remotely manipulate and affect your spirit, or even make you fall into the Demon Path.”

“Even if everything in your Dao progression goes smoothly, and it comes time for you to ascend to immortality, with your Cultivation having reached Perfection but hers has not, what will you do? Then you cannot ascend. Your Primordial Spirit ascends to the heavens, while her Qi Mechanism down on earth connects like a hook pulling you back, so you both must ascend together. It is easy to transcend oneself, but hard to help others transcend!”

“So that’s how it is.” Yan Yu nodded.

For those Xuan Sect cultivators who are single-mindedly pursuing the Dao and wish to ascend to immortality, this shortcut, though passable, is riddled with endless future problems, with greater harm the further one goes. All things considered, it is not worth it.

However, Yan Yu himself had never put Cultivation at the forefront of his heart. From beginning to end, his main focus had always been one thing: to protect the country and provide the common people with undisturbed peaceful lives. Thus, whether he could ascend was not important at all; rather, it was the benefits of improving Golden Core Rank right before his eyes that truly tempted him.

“I have another question.” Yan Yu said, “If the other’s Primordial Yin is still there, but my Primordial Yang is broken…”

“Then the effect of this method would be reduced.” True Obscure Sword Intent replied, “Without Yin, Yang can’t grow, and without Yang, Yin won’t emerge. The force of impact would not be sufficient.”

“But what if I have already formed a Golden Core by that time?” Yan Yu continued, “I don’t need to borrow strength, and I give it all to her, equivalent to being extracted by her once.”

“Is she your godmother?” True Obscure Sword Intent asked in amazement.

“Hey, you can’t talk nonsense!” Yan Yu immediately became anxious, “This is called self-sacrifice for others!”

“You’re sacrificing too much, what are you after?” True Obscure Sword Intent asked perplexed, “Look, you’ve given up a part of… even though it’s a damaged Primordial Yang, but still, you’ve given up something, right? Then you’re connected by Qi Mechanism with her, adding a burden on your path of Cultivation, right? In the future, you might not ascend just because of her. As a result, her Golden Core Rank goes up, but what do you gain from it? I thought about it and can only think of one possibility, that she’s a godmother, and you’re the filial son, that’s why you’d give without wanting anything in return.”

“Who said I don’t want anything in return?” Yan Yu spoke with justified expression, “To cultivate more top-tier Golden Core Masters for Lu Country, that is the greatest return for me!”

True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent fell silent, seemingly stunned by this man’s selfless righteousness.

“Just tell me if it’s feasible or not.” Yan Yu implored impatiently.

“Wait.” True Obscure Sword Intent suddenly said, “I understand a bit now… well, you’re aiming to gather Merit!”

“…Ah?”

“During the war of Yan and Huang, although the Yellow Emperor ultimately won, the human tribes suffered heavy casualties and were almost on the brink of extinction.” True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent spoke with conviction, analyzing, “In order to continue the Human Race’s bloodline and spread its branches and leaves, the Yellow Emperor personally took to the battlefield, took three thousand women as consorts to procreate descendants, having the grand merit of rebirthing the Human Race, and as a result his Merit was so great he ascended right on the spot!”

“…Uh.”

“You little rascal, quite the schemer!” True Obscure Sword Intent had a sudden realization and continued, “Lu Country today is vast, surrounded by formidable enemies, full of internal and external troubles, a moment of carelessness could lead to mass destruction. You enter the fray, creating a group of top female Golden Core Masters, equivalent to a group of national heroes who will save countless in the future. Such overflowing and immense Merit… because they are all connected to you by Qi Mechanism, you would get a share of it!”

Seeing Yan Yu astonished and speechless, True Obscure Sword Intent scoffed again:

“I knew it! With your shameless nature, how could you do something that benefits others at your own expense? Turns out, it was all for gathering Merit. Now everything makes sense!”

“In a prosperous era, there are rules of prosperity; in chaotic times, there are expedients of chaos. Cultivation is easily attained, but Merit is hard to find. Just go for it! Even if it results in exhaustion and death, at worst you’ll be reincarnated. With Merit guarding you, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, you’ll quickly enter the Dao again!”

“Stop!” Yan Yu said, “Firstly, it’s not for beauty or for Merit. I am purely thinking for Lu Country and considering the bigger picture. Don’t make me out to be a despicable person good at scheming.”

“Alright, alright, you’re for the nation and the people, okay?” Sword Intent got a bit impatient, “You’re selflessly altruistic, caring for the country and its people, you’re that noble and solitary hero, okay? Wow, a solitary hero eh, we’re saved!”

“Where did you pick up these bad memes…” Yan Yu was somewhat speechless, guessing that it must’ve been when he casually browsed on his phone, and this Sword Intent was up in his Sea of Consciousness, keenly observing, “Secondly, I’m still hesitating whether or not to take this path.”

“Why not take it?” Sword Intent asked, bewildered, “After painstakingly cultivating a close relationship with them… I mean, developing feelings with them, wasn’t it all to lead up to this step? The fattened meat is cooked in the pot, and now you’re telling me you’re a vegetarian? Who are you kidding?”
