Immediately, the purple-haired man read out each sentence one by one. He was afraid that Wu Si would not be able to remember it, so he spoke very slowly. Some homophones could easily cause misunderstanding, so he explained them in detail.
Wu Si naturally concentrated on memorizing it. The technique wasn't very long, and he finished it in a cup of tea. Wu Si understood every word, but he only grasped a little bit of the overall idea.
Seeing his expression, the purple-haired man said, "There's no time for you to slowly comprehend it right now. The most urgent thing is to help me escape. Once I'm out, I'll explain it to you slowly." Wu Si smiled apologetically, "I'm not trying to comprehend the entire technique right away, but I'm afraid I'm too dull to comprehend it. Without the magical power, I won't be able to help you."
The purple-haired man said, "These seven broken swords have been used by me for hundreds of years. Breaking the ban is just a matter of seconds. You don't need to recover to the Golden Core stage, or even the Foundation Establishment stage, to help me." Wu Si said yes repeatedly.
The purple-haired man said, "Sit down cross-legged and follow my instructions. Circulate the Qi in your body. This technique is called 'Nine Separations to Resolve the Spiritual Energy' and can only be practiced by those lacking a fire spiritual root. Furthermore, this technique requires fire spiritual energy to infuse the body, but there is no fire spiritual energy here. However, I can pass on a trace of true demonic energy to you, and you can convert it into fire spiritual energy."
Wu Si's heart surged with excitement. True demonic energy was incredibly rare, a treasure sought after by demonic cultivators. Although he knew the technique of transforming demonic energy into spirit, he had never before possessed true demonic energy. Then, a thought struck him as unsettling. He hurriedly said, "Senior, although I know the formula for transforming demonic energy into spirit, this body of mine hasn't been infused with the demonic knot. I'm afraid I can't use the technique."
The purple-haired man said, "Yes, well, I originally practiced the Fire Demonic Power, so I will directly transform the demonic energy into fire spiritual energy and pass it to you. This trace of demonic energy is enough for you to practice to the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, which is enough to draw these seven flying swords."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and a red line slowly emerged from his forehead. The red line floated and moved towards the Wu Simian Gate opposite.
Wu Si stared intently, concentrating his mind and calming his breath. When the red line touched his forehead, Wu Si's body shook slightly, and then the red line slowly sank into Wu Si's forehead.
During this time, the purple-haired man kept explaining how to circulate the Qi, move the meridians, and transfer spiritual energy. Wu Si did as he was told, and felt that the fire spiritual energy actually slowly penetrated into his dantian, settled down, and did not dissipate. He was amazed in his heart.
Wu Si felt the Qi in his Dantian settle, quickly forming the first Qi ring. Then the second, the third, and finally the fifth Qi ring formed, before the speed slowed down. However, Wu Si felt the fire spiritual energy within him was still abundant. He sat cross-legged in meditation, continuing his efforts to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining. He was horrified. According to common sense, those without spiritual roots could never cultivate; this was an iron rule of the cultivation world. What kind of bizarre technique was this that could actually allow someone without spiritual roots to form Qi rings?
The purple-haired man seemed to sense his uneasiness and said, "Just sit still and regulate your breathing, and strive for a new realm. Since I have nothing else to do, I will tell you the origin of this technique. This Nine Separations and Spiritual Integration Technique has a long history. It's not a technique of my clan, but rather comes from the Beikan Clan, who live in the north of the vast ocean of Yingzhou in the east. The Beikan Clan is also part of our demon clan, and they live in the deep north, where the spiritual energy of ice and water is very rich. Their members are born with Tianshui spiritual roots. Therefore, it's common for Beikan people to achieve Jindan in their thirties or forties."
"Tianshui Spiritual Roots, the entire clan has Tianshui Spiritual Roots?" Wu Si was shocked upon hearing this. After all, Tianshui Spiritual Roots are a rare talent found only once in a thousand years. If the entire clan had Tianshui Spiritual Roots, wouldn't such a powerful clan have long dominated the world? How come he had never heard of it? Wu Si's predecessor had spent a full three hundred years forming a golden elixir, while the Beikan clan could do so in just forty. It was truly incredible.
The purple-haired man said, "You'd think a race so rebellious would have unified the world long ago, but why haven't you heard of them? The reason is actually very simple. First, the Beikan tribe isn't very populous, and second, hey, anyone who defies the will of heaven will be punished. Beikan people can easily build their foundation and form their golden elixir, but after forming their golden elixir, three or four out of ten explode and die for no apparent reason. And when they advance to the Nascent Soul stage, nine out of ten will become possessed and die."
"Thus, despite their extraordinary talent, the Beikan Clan has never been very powerful. The people within the clan were perplexed and often stopped at the Golden Core stage, never attempting to form a Nascent Soul. Until over ten thousand years ago, a prodigy emerged from the Beikan Clan. This person not only successfully formed a Nascent Soul, but also cultivated all the way to the Refining Void stage, the Heshen stage, and even survived the Transformation Tribulation, ascending to the Immortal Realm and becoming a Demon Lord."
"After achieving divine unity, this prodigy sought to resolve the cause of his people's inexplicable explosions. He therefore hesitated to transcend his tribulation and remained in the mortal world for over a thousand years, collecting secret manuals and techniques. With his current level of cultivation, he had no equal in the world. Therefore, after studying numerous treasured texts, he finally discovered the reason behind his people's explosions."
"It turns out that the Beikan people have a very special constitution. On one hand, they have a tenth-order Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root, but on the other hand, they have no trace of the corresponding Fire Spiritual Root. In other words, the Beikan people's Water Spiritual Root is fully developed, but the Fire Spiritual Root attribute is completely absent. When cultivators advance to the Nascent Soul stage, they focus on harmonizing the five elements. Although they advance with a Water Body, they also need to harmonize with the Fire attribute. The Beikan people's Heavenly Spiritual Root absorbed too much Water Spiritual Energy too quickly, but without the Fire attribute to balance it out, their bodies couldn't hold so much Spiritual Energy at all. Naturally, they exploded and died."
"The reason this genius was able to successfully form his Nascent Soul was because he happened to obtain an extremely rare 'Nine Yang Fire Pearl' and refined it within his abdomen. With this fire pearl neutralizing the energy, he was able to successfully advance."
"This genius thought at the time that there was only one Nine Suns Fire Pearl, and he needed it to ward off the calamity, so he couldn't possibly leave it to his clan. Even if he passed it on, there wouldn't be enough for everyone to use. Furthermore, this fire pearl was a priceless treasure. If it were taken by an outsider, wouldn't his clan still be doomed to explode?"
"So this powerful individual painstakingly decided to solve the problem through cultivation techniques rather than using treasures. His initial approach was to reduce the speed and amount of water spiritual energy absorbed by the Heavenly Spiritual Root, but he found that this didn't solve the problem. After all, the Heavenly Spiritual Root absorbed spiritual energy too quickly. Furthermore, the problem with the Beikan people was that they lacked fire roots, so suppressing the water spiritual energy wouldn't solve the problem."
"So, this great master decided to try a different approach: to find a way to repair the fire root. With his ingenuity, he collected and cultivated a large number of spiritual herbs and fruits, hoping to use the power of natural treasures to improve the constitution of his people and grow fire spiritual roots. However, strangely enough, these extremely rare spiritual herbs had no effect on the Beikan people. While they improved the metal, wood, and earth roots, they couldn't produce the fire root. This master had no choice but to give up. After all, the Beikan people's climate is extremely cold, making it unsuitable for growing fire-attributed spiritual flowers and herbs."
"Finally, this powerful being had no choice but to address the lack of a fire root. He observed carefully and discovered something: while a person lacking a fire root cannot absorb fire spiritual energy, they also naturally do not reject it. You know, if you and I, cultivators, had wood spiritual roots, we would naturally absorb wood spiritual energy. However, at the same time, the wood spiritual roots in our bodies and the wood spiritual energy have a certain repulsion. If you meditate for a day, 20% to 30% of the wood spiritual energy you receive will be rejected by your body."
"However, those lacking fire spiritual roots are not repelled by their attributes and can absorb fire spiritual energy without any hindrance. That great cultivator of the Beikan tribe took this as his starting point, defying the will of heaven and creating the Nine Separations Spiritual Gathering Method. As a result, the people of the Beikan tribe developed fire spiritual roots, thus resolving the danger of exploding from excessive ice energy when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. This master later ascended to the immortal realm and has been worshipped by the Beikan people for generations."
"I came across this technique when I was traveling in the Northland. I happened to meet an elder from the Beikan tribe. We got along really well during our conversation, so he copied it down for me. Hehe, it's a pity that I don't have a fire spirit root, so I can't practice it. So I have to give it to you."
The purple-haired burly man recounted this past event, and Wu Si listened while regulating his Qi. Eight Qi rings had already formed in his Dantian Qi Sea. When he was about to form the ninth Qi ring, the fire spiritual energy that the purple-haired man had passed over gradually weakened. Wu Si was secretly surprised. The True Demon Qi was so rare and domineering. A wisp of the True Demon Qi should be enough for him to successfully build his foundation. Why did he stop at the eighth level of Qi Refining?
The purple-haired man chuckled and said, "This Jiuli Huiling Dafa is aimed at those who lack spiritual roots, and need to harmonize the water spiritual energy of the Tianbing spiritual root. The fire spiritual energy required for cultivation is very huge, and it is quite difficult to advance. But because of this, your magic power will be much deeper than those of the same level. Well, now that you have magic power, come quickly and help me pull down this flying sword." As he said the latter part, his tone was already a little impatient.
He had such high cultivation level, but in order to escape from trouble, he had to comfort a junior with kind words, teach him the supreme skills, pass on his energy to help him practice, and even feared that the other party would not be willing to practice, so he had to explain the origin of the skills. All these made him very dissatisfied.
Wu Si was startled and said hurriedly, "Junior, obey your command!" He reached over and grasped the hilt of a sword. Converging his magic power, a stream of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the flying sword, shaking Wu Si's wrist so much that he almost dropped it. The purple-haired man shouted angrily, "Harder!"
Wu Si panicked, his magic power flowing through his body. With a loud shout, he pulled the flying sword away. The purple-haired man said happily, "Okay, okay, then pull out the other swords. I will definitely give you more benefits after I am free."
Wu Si thanked him profusely. The flying swords had only penetrated the purple-haired man by an inch or two, and after a thousand years, the spiritual energy on the swords had completely dissipated. Otherwise, how could a mere Qi Refining disciple like him be able to destabilize him? Even so, Wu Si was sweating profusely, and his mana was nearly exhausted before he finally pulled out all seven swords.
After the seven swords were pulled out, there was a sudden noise. The swords flew into the air, merged into one, and finally fell to the ground with a clang, turning into an ordinary blue steel sword.
The purple-haired man laughed heartily and stood up. His bones crackled and his entire body suddenly grew taller, his aura imposing. Wu Si hurriedly knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Old Ancestor, for escaping this."
