Chapter 1060: Chapter 1057: Seclusion Chapter 1060: Chapter 1057: Seclusion “I have devoted myself solely to cultivation these years, with no interest in managing the sect. If Brother Qin refuses again, I will have to leave this place. As for the Pure Yang Scripture, with me here, naturally, nobody would dare to try to take it,” Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

Seeing Shen Luo's insistence, Qin Ming had no choice but to take the jade pendant as told.

The three of them then entered the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. Shen Luo paid his respects to the ancestral masters of the Pavilion and chatted with the two for a while, learning about each other's experiences over the years.

According to Qin Ming, when the Spring and Autumn Pavilion met its downfall that year, he was away from home, and by sheer luck, he escaped disaster. By the time he returned to the sect, the Pavilion no longer existed.

He searched for surviving sect members near the ruins of the Pavilion and encountered a wisp of the Senior Ancestor's soul, which was on the verge of dissipating, in a valley. The Senior Ancestor transmitted the Pure Yang Sword Technique to Qin Ming, instructing him to preserve the Daoist lineage of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion no matter what.

“So your Pure Yang Sword Technique was passed down to you by the Senior Ancestor, no wonder,” Shen Luo realized.

What was strange, however, was that the Senior Ancestor did not mention to Qin Ming about taking the Pure Yang Scripture away.

After some thought, Shen Luo quickly understood. The Senior Ancestor was making a backup plan. Since he and Qin Ming were unaware of each other's situations, even if something went wrong on one side, the Daoist lineage of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion could continue.

Shen Luo also briefly narrated his own experiences over the years, of course, omitting a lot of details and some inconvenient matters.

Even so, his rich and varied experiences left Qin Ming and Zhou Fu astonished.

Time flew quickly, and soon the sky brightened.

Qin Ming and Zhou Fu had gone through the great battle the previous night and had stayed awake all night, both feeling somewhat tired.

“You don't have to keep me company, go down and rest,” Shen Luo said with a smile, standing up.

“Where are you going, Junior Brother Shen?” Seeing Shen Luo about to leave, Qin Ming quickly got up.

Now that all hopes for the revival of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion rested on Shen Luo, he couldn't help but be anxious.

“Don't worry, Brother Qin, I don't intend to leave. I just prefer solitude. I'm going to the back mountain to establish a cave mansion for cultivation. If you have anything, come find me then,” Shen Luo said.

“Alright, Junior Brother Shen, you focus on cultivation. Leave other matters to me to handle,” Qin Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After giving a few more instructions to Qin Ming, Shen Luo quickly made his way to the back mountain.

He expanded the cave where he had originally buried the jade pillow and turned it into a cave mansion, then took out several sets of formation devices and set them up around the cave, including the Liangyi Microdust Illusion Array.

After completing these preparations, Shen Luo sat down inside the cave mansion and closed his eyes to adjust his condition.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and took out the Jade Bottle containing two drops of Sweet Dew Water. He then circulated the Nameless Cultivation Technique to absorb the water's spiritual power.

Streams of blue light poured out of the bottle and flowed continuously into his body.

Shen Luo himself began to emanate strands of blue light, which quickly grew dense and soon engulfed his body.

Time flew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Inside the cave mansion, the blue light on Shen Luo's body had become ten times more intense, making him look like a small blue sun, completely obscuring his body.

Waves of strong mana fluctuations spread from it, forming selike waves of blue light that diffused outwards.

At that moment, the small sun-like blue light suddenly started to flicker, then all at once seeped into its core.

In a few breaths, all the blue light vanished without a trace, revealing Shen Luo's body.

The jade bottle in his hand was now empty, having had all of its Sweet Dew Water absorbed.

Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of joy passing through his pupils.

Indeed, the Sweet Dew Water from Mount Putuo was a treasure, brimming with abundant spiritual power of water. He had mastered the cultivation of the Mahayana stage without any bottlenecks. With this cultivation session, his cultivation level had soared. Though he hadn't reached the Middle stage of Mahayana, he was not far from it.

“It's a pity that there were only two drops of Sweet Dew Water. If there were two more, I could definitely push my cultivation level to the Middle stage of Mahayana. I wonder if the Black Bear Demon has found enough water elemental treasures?” Shen Luo frowned and murmured to himself.

Unfortunately, after advancing to the Mahayana stage, the Snow Soul Pill could no longer satisfy his cultivation needs. Otherwise, he could have had the Mirror Fiend disguise itself and purchase some in Luo Star City, removing the worry of finding Elixirs.

He immediately took out a white Transmission Array Disk, which the Black Bear Demon had given him. It allowed the two to communicate within the range of an entire continent.

Shen Luo formed a hand seal with one hand, intending to activate the Transmission Array Disk to contact the Black Bear Demon about the collection of cultivation resources, but after some thought, he decided against it.

“Given the Black Bear Demon's eagerness for the cultivation manual, even without my urging, it will certainly collect them diligently. I'll wait a little longer,” he said and put away the formation disc.

Though he had run out of cultivation resources, he didn't idle around. He flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, from which he poured out a dark-golden Elixir – the Thunder Bone Pill.

Shen Luo activated his Divine Sense to carefully inspect the Thunder Bone Pill and after confirming there were no problems, he tilted his head back and swallowed it.

The Elixir melted in his stomach quickly, transforming into potent medicinal strength, and streaks of thunder and lightning emerged, rampaging through his body and meridians.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle…

Numerous electric arcs flickered over Shen Luo's body, and each pore emitted lightning. His Green Robe was instantly torn to shreds, and the ground nearby turned scorched black by the strength of the lightning.

“Such formidable power of thunder and lightning!” He had not expected the Thunder Bone Pill's potency to be this ferocious.

Medicinal strength like lightning bolts rampaged within his body as if countless tiny knives were twisting everywhere, causing immense pain. Fortunately, his cultivation had already reached the Great Mahayana Stage, so he could withstand it.

Shen Luo took a deep breath and began to circulate the Huangting Technique.

The Huangting Technique, the Sect's Treasure of Mount Fangcun, was truly extraordinary. The moment he started circulating it, the rampaging thunder and lightning energies in his body immediately became docile and obediently integrated into every part of his body along with the movements of the Huangting Technique.

Shen Luo's muscles and bones absorbed these thunder and lightning energies, visibly growing stronger at a rapid pace.

“My guess was correct; Body Refining Pills can speed up the cultivation of the Huangting Technique,” he thought with joy. Then he concentrated even more on circulating the Huangting Technique, quickly refining and absorbing the Thunder Bone Pill's medicinal strength.

The Thunder Bone Pill's strength was formidable, but it could not withstand such absorption by the Huangting Technique and was soon completely refined.

Without any hesitation, Shen Luo took out another Thunder Bone Pill and swallowed it, continuing to cultivate and refine.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The Thunder Bone Pills in Shen Luo's hand were all consumed. Under the mighty push of the pill's medicinal strength, the Huangting Technique made rapid progress, and he impressively completed the first two layers.

Two Golden Dragons and two Golden Elephants revolved and danced around him, creating gusts of wind with their movements and continuous roaring sounds.

Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, and the Golden Dragons and Golden Elephants around him transformed into four spheres of Golden Light, which entered his body.

He stood up, clenched his fists tightly, and a layer of Golden Light appeared all over his body. His bones emitted a chorus of cracking sounds, unleashing waves of formidable strength that made the surrounding air buzz and tremble.

Excitement flashed in his eyes as he was about to do something, but suddenly his brow furrowed, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction.
