Chapter 904: Chapter 904: The Heavenly Dao is a Road of Stripping Away

Seeing Peter Brown’s gaze, Samuel said: "Cultivators have two paths to choose from. One is the path of authentic cultivation, and the other is the path of gaining true qi by swallowing elixirs. Most people prefer the path of authentic cultivation. Because the true qi gained from swallowing elixirs will often be stripped away by the Heavenly Dao, and one’s cultivation level will be greatly reduced due to this stripping."

Peter Brown was puzzled, "If that’s the case, do cultivators still need to take elixirs? Won’t the elixirs that are refined be without a market?"

Samuel replied, "You’re misunderstanding. It’s not that we don’t need to take elixirs, but after taking them, we need to refine the true qi obtained from the elixirs. Only after refining the true qi can it truly belong to the person and not be stripped away by the Heavenly Dao. Don’t believe me, just ask this woman. She should have grown up by taking elixirs."

Seeing Peter Brown’s gaze, the woman said: "It’s true what this young master said. I’m from a major sect, and I’ve been trained from an early age. I was provided with various elixirs to consume, otherwise I wouldn’t have reached the Nascent Soul stage in such a short time."

But when she said this, she sighed bitterly: "It’s precisely because I advanced too quickly that my real cultivation gains aren’t actually that high. On the Heavenly Dao path, I can clearly feel my true qi leaving me."

So that’s the case!

Hearing about this situation, Peter Brown felt a bit of crisis. He knew that his own cultivation, to be honest, was also obtained through taking elixirs. If he really stepped on the Heavenly Dao, it is likely he would be reduced to the level of Qi guiding into the body or even lower.

This is a big deal!

The more Peter thought about it, the more worried he became.

"What’s your name?" Peter finally thought to ask the other person’s name.

"Anna Taylor."

Peter asked: "Do you feel there’s any way on the Heavenly Dao path to prevent the loss of true qi formed by elixirs?"

Anna shook her head, "I don’t know about that. After all, my heart was in a panic at the time, and I was really afraid of any problems with the teleportation."

Samuel said, "Many cultivators in the Cultivation World have made guesses about this. Some have said that the more refined the true qi, the closer it is to the Heavenly Dao. So, we need to think about it from this aspect."

Getting closer to the Heavenly Dao?

Peter’s eyes sparkled with light. Other people might not be able to do it, but it was a very easy thing for him. With so much Dao affinity, why worry about getting closer to the Heavenly Dao?

Samuel continued: "In the Cultivation World, teleportation has the same issue. If the true qi formed by elixirs is not refined, there will be some loss during teleportation. Therefore, most people don’t use teleportation formations. Instead, they use flying vehicles."

Glancing at Anna, Samuel said, "This is also one of the reasons why the Black Households can’t escape. With their current situation, teleporting might cause them to be stripped of everything and become a person with nothing."

Anna’s face turned somber once again.

But Peter’s mood had improved at this point. With the existence of Dao affinity, he wasn’t worried about being stripped away of his qi. He just needed to use his Dao affinity to envelop it.

In fact, Peter also knew that he had not yet found a Heavenly Path to return to, and understanding these things was just a contingency plan. However, through this matter, Peter also found a way of development. While others used flying vehicles, he used teleportation. In many aspects, this would allow him to stay ahead of others, which would be of great benefit to his cultivation path.

"Anna, what are you most familiar with?" Peter still wanted to help the person who had stepped on the Heavenly Dao.

Anna replied, "I’m from the Elixir Medicine Sect, so I’m somewhat familiar with alchemy."

"Okay, from now on, you’ll be responsible for the elixir refining here. You can also recruit some people with expertise in this area."

Samuel hurriedly said, "Brother Wang, alchemy is getting harder and harder to do nowadays. The Lingcao used are so common that it’s impossible to refine good elixirs. You won’t be able to make money through this."

Peter pointed outside, "I have such a large piece of land out there. There’s bound to be Lingcao in the next step."

Samuel sighed bitterly, "You’re thinking too simplistically. Nowadays, it’s not that easy to cultivate Lingcao."

Peter just smiled and didn’t explain any further. After all, developing the plantation industry was definitely something he planned to do next.

Anna was clearly very happy that Peter was putting her in an important position, and she walked out excitedly. Samuel looked at Anna’s retreating figure and said to Peter, "This woman is quite beautiful. She hasn’t experienced much in life yet. With some training, she would be quite good."

Peter sighed, "People who step on the Heavenly Dao must be strong in their realms. We should help if we can."

Samuel sneered, "There are too many people who have stepped on the Heavenly Dao. We can only help a few. Let’s just forget about it. It’s better to focus on developing ourselves. By the way, Brother Wang, I heard that the City Lord of Sun and Moon City is going to advance to the Body Integrating Phase. There’ll be a lot of people watching. I came to ask if you want to go and see his advancement ceremony?"

"Advancing to the Body Integrating Phase?"

"Yeah, after Nascent Soul is the Body Integrating Phase. That City Lord is very awesome. It is said that his Heavenly Tribulation will be very strong this time. It remains to be seen whether he can survive."

During their conversation, Peter noticed that Samuel had a deep sense of concern on his face, and asked, "Why do you look like you don’t want him to succeed in his tribulation?"

Samuel replied, "Brother Wang, you don’t know this, but Sun and Moon City and our city have been in conflicts for a long time, fighting over many things for years. They have become enemies. This time, the City Lord sent an invitation letter to our city in order to show off their great power."

"Isn’t he afraid that people will know he’s undergoing tribulation and attack him?"

"Brother Wang, don’t you know? Nobody dares to attack someone while they’re undergoing tribulation. Otherwise, it would trigger their own Heavenly Tribulation. Besides, the city’s defense will be very strict, and he will definitely invite his friends to help. You can forget about attacking."

Tribulation?

Peter murmured to himself. As he thought about the tribulation, his eyes lit up. There must be some Immortal power mingled in the Heavenly Tribulation. The stronger the tribulation, the more Immortal power there would be. Could he get some of that Immortal power this time?

Currently, he was concerned that he only had two strands of Immortal power. Now that he had received this piece of information, Peter got a little excited. He said to Samuel, "Of course, I want to go and see."

"Alright then, let the sect leader know, and there will definitely be a quota for you."

Watching Samuel leave, Peter paced around the room. If he could gain some Immortal power this time, he would have a source to obtain more in the future.
