Chapter 529: Chapter 295: Divinity Transformation Cultivation Method! Mysterious Spirit Seed!

Since Qi Chuan already possesses the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, as long as he continues to evolve it using the Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique, he can derive all the sword techniques at the Divinity Transformation level, and even push it beyond Tier Five.

It is impossible to switch to other Tier Five techniques.

However, what True Monarch Cyan Bamboo said is also correct.

Returning to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect to enrich the sect’s inheritance is a good choice.

Thus, Qi Chuan immediately took out a disposable jade slip from the Qiankun Bag and began to transcribe the cultivation method from the jade slab.

"Primordial Technique."

This is the name of this Tier Five cultivation method.

It didn’t take long before Qi Chuan transcribed it all and placed the disposable jade slip with the cultivation method rubbing into the Qiankun Bag, returning the mottled ancient jade slab to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo.

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo put away the mottled ancient jade slab, then took out two ancient jade slips filled with antiquity from the Qiankun Bag, one blue and one yellow.

"These are two ancient divine techniques."

"The blue jade slip is an ancient divine technique called the ’Youthful Appearance Technique’, which consists of five layers that can be cultivated at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation levels. After cultivating the first four layers, one can maintain a youthful appearance to a certain extent, with effects improving layer by layer."

"And once the fifth layer is cultivated, everlasting youth can be achieved. It’s said that even at the time of demise, the cultivator’s appearance will remain unchanged."

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo first pointed to the blue jade slip and introduced it to Qi Chuan.

"Youthful Appearance Technique?"

Hearing this, Qi Chuan took the blue jade slip with curiosity and opened it.

Upon reading it, he found the effects to be just as True Monarch Cyan Bamboo described.

In fact, even in the current cultivation realm, many female cultivators’ techniques have some youthful appearance effects.

However, most of them are not particularly effective.

Only a very few are considered good.

Unfortunately, they are not suitable for male cultivation.

Therefore, youthful appearance techniques for male cultivators are extremely rare.

More importantly, regardless of whether the technique’s effect is strong or weak, it’s unheard of that it could maintain a youthful appearance even after death.

Most people quickly age in the last decades of their lifespan.

Thus, this Youthful Appearance Technique is somewhat peculiar in Qi Chuan’s eyes.

"However, it seems I don’t need to cultivate it, right?"

"Youthful appearance is needed only for those with slow cultivation speed."

"My breakthrough speed has been too fast; my appearance hasn’t had time to age before I’ve broken through again and prolonged my lifespan, making it even harder to age."

Qi Chuan secretly shook his head.

This Youthful Appearance Technique seemed of no use to him.

"Hmm? This Youthful Appearance Technique actually has an additional effect; after cultivating the fifth layer, it can perfectly conceal one’s bone age, even those a few major realms higher can’t detect it?"

"That’s quite promising!"

However, just as Qi Chuan was about to look away, a seemingly inconspicuous note at the end of the Youthful Appearance Technique caught his eye, making his eyes slightly brighten.

It’s well known that in the cultivation realm, it’s impossible to determine a person’s exact age just by their appearance. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The only true standard is bone age.

This bone age, akin to the rings of a tree, represents a cultivator’s actual age, and it’s irremovable unless the bones are replaced.

Generally, bone age is difficult to perceive directly. Cultivators at similar levels need to touch the bones to determine it.

But if one’s cultivation is a major realm higher, they can directly see the bone age of a lower-tier cultivator.

In others’ eyes, bone age is almost something no one pays much attention to.

Especially beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, this holds even more true.

This Youthful Appearance Technique, after cultivating the fifth layer, that is, the Divinity Transformation level, takes on an even more worthless appearance, not even worth a mention.

After all, which Divinity Transformation cultivator doesn’t have at least a millennia-old bone age?

Being slightly older or younger doesn’t make much difference.

But Qi Chuan is different.

His breakthrough speed is simply too fast, and his bone age is too young.

When he reaches the Divinity Transformation Realm or higher, his bone age among cultivators of the same major realm will be so young it’s conspicuous.

This might cause troubles for Qi Chuan in the future.

Therefore, just cultivating the fifth layer of this Youthful Appearance Technique can permanently avoid this trouble, making it appear quite advantageous to Qi Chuan instead of worthless.

"Just for the ability to conceal bone age perfectly, even those several major realms higher can’t see through it, this ’Youthful Appearance Technique’ is worth cultivating, especially with its additional youthful appearance effect, however minor."

With this thought, Qi Chuan once again took out a disposable jade slip and began transcribing the Youthful Appearance Technique.

Seeing Qi Chuan showing some interest in the Youthful Appearance Technique, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo also smiled warmly.

Helping Qi Chuan was good, for fear that Qi Chuan might not be interested in anything he offered, making repaying Qi Chuan’s kindness difficult.

After Qi Chuan finished transcribing the Youthful Appearance Technique, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo pointed to the remaining yellow divine skill jade slip and explained to Qi Chuan.

"This last divine technique doesn’t have a grade or layers—an unnamed divine technique. It’s very difficult to cultivate, as I’ve seen."

"But according to its description, after cultivation, it can sense the location of special spirit flames nearby, and as one’s proficiency increases, the sensing range expands, making the perception of special spirit flames clearer. Besides that, it offers no offensive or supportive effects. I’m not sure if it is of any use to Fellow Daoist Qichuan."

In True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s view, it seemed Qi Chuan’s cultivation method wasn’t based on the fire attribute, nor was it focused on fire attribute divine techniques.

Therefore, special spirit flames didn’t appear to be of much concern to him.

This unnamed divine ability probably held little attraction.

"An unnamed divine technique to sense special spirit flames, without grade or layers?"

Hearing this, Qi Chuan was quite intrigued.

Then he immediately opened the jade slip for a close inspection.

Indeed, he found it to be just as True Monarch Cyan Bamboo described.

Yet Qi Chuan knows that the stranger the divine technique, the more formidable it might become.

"As proficiency increases, the sensing range and clarity on special spirit flames expand... might this unnamed divine technique, like my Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, have the potential for infinite growth?"

Qi Chuan couldn’t help but venture a bold guess in his heart.

"Although the possibility isn’t great, the proficiency might reach a cap, and since it has no levels, it can’t break through, ending right there..."

"But I should still take and cultivate it later; it might come in handy..."

"Moreover, always calling it an unnamed divine technique isn’t quite right; why not name it... Fire-Seeking Technique!"

With his thoughts soaring, Qi Chuan finally settled on the "Fire-Seeking Technique," and after transcribing it with a disposable jade slip, stored it within the Qiankun Bag.

Then, he returned the yellow jade slip to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo.

After True Monarch Cyan Bamboo gathered the blue and yellow jade slips, his expression became solemn as he slowly began to speak: "Concerning this last mysterious item I couldn’t unravel, it might be somewhat unexpected to Fellow Daoist Qichuan."

"Oh? How special is it?"

Qi Chuan asked with curiosity, drawn by True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s tone and expression.

"It is not just any item, but a... Spirit Seed!"

"A Spirit Seed? How special can that be?"

"Better to let Fellow Daoist Qichuan see for himself, I even believe that the techniques and divine abilities I acquired in that central room might not be as important as this Spirit Seed..."

After he spoke, this time True Monarch Cyan Bamboo didn’t reach into the Qiankun Bag, but inserted his hand into his neckline.

When his hand emerged again, opening in front of Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan clearly saw.

A cyan lotus seed quietly lay in his palm.
