As Ding Yun's figure completely disappeared, the few people present finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Xiangjun hurriedly cried, "Father, you really can't blame me just now!
It was so terrifying. You know, I'm only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Just now, I even had the illusion that she could crush me to death with a single finger. Please don't blame me."
"It wasn't an illusion!"
"?"
"She really could crush you to death with a single finger!"
The Liu family head continued with a solemn expression. After speaking, he waved his hand and sent his son away.
Then, he pulled the two Foundation Establishment ancestors of the family to sit down and asked with a bitter expression, "Two ancestors.
Tell me, is what Liu Yan said just now true? Was she really taken in as a disciple by a strong cultivator, or was she possessed? I really can't tell!"
"If you can't tell, can we? Generally speaking, only Nascent Soul Venerables have the ability to possess. Ordinary cultivators, even if they reach the Golden Core realm, do not have the ability to directly possess.
We can't even hope to reach Golden Core, so how would we know what abilities Nascent Soul Venerables have? However, judging by her performance, it actually resembles possession. After all, if she were truly at the Foundation Establishment realm, only a possessed Nascent Soul Venerable could make an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator emit such terrifying pressure.
Although she herself said it was due to the high level of her cultivation technique, we've never heard of such a powerful technique. Are we too ignorant?"
As one Foundation Establishment ancestor finished speaking his thoughts with a troubled expression, another ancestor quickly followed up:
"I think it's not impossible for it to be true.
More than eighty years ago, I witnessed a prodigy from Zhongzhou, a disciple of the Yuhua Immortal Sect. He cultivated the fundamental treasure technique of the Yuhua Immortal Sect. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment realm at the time, and even just entered the Foundation Establishment realm, he could crush other Foundation Establishment cultivators of that era. Even ordinary rogue cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment were no match for him.
I even heard later that when he was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he had killed a low-grade Golden Core cultivator.
His high aptitude is one thing, but the level of his cultivation technique was far higher than that of ordinary rogue cultivators. The true essence he cultivated, whether in terms of condensation, intensity, or quantity, was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. This was the core reason why he could challenge those of higher levels, and even directly confront and defeat a Golden Core cultivator who was a whole major realm higher.
So, what Liu Yan said just now is not wrong. If she has truly cultivated a very high-level cultivation technique,
in theory, it is possible."
The ancestor paused and then said:
"Also, are you all stupid? Regardless of Liu Yan's situation now, at least she still recognizes us and herself as a member of the Liu family. That's enough.
What we need to do now is to treat her well. If possible, we should try to extract some cultivation techniques from her. Whether she was possessed by a Nascent Soul Venerable or has an extraordinary master, even a little bit of cultivation technique leaking from her fingers would be enough for us. You all know how trashy our family's cultivation techniques are.
For a Foundation Establishment realm technique, it takes us seventy to eighty years to perfect it, and there's no follow-up. You should know how inefficient that is, right?"
Hearing him say this, both the Liu family head and the other ancestor felt it made sense. No matter what the other party was, as long as there were benefits, they didn't care what they were.
They would even acknowledge their own ancestors if it meant getting something.
Whoever provides milk is their mother. Who wouldn't do that?
With this mindset, their subsequent discussions finally got on track, and they began to discuss how to treat Ding Yun, how to satisfy her without being overly fawning or subservient, and so on.
Most importantly, how to subtly inquire.
Find a way to get some good cultivation techniques.
Before, they had no opportunity or channel to obtain better cultivation techniques. Now that they saw a glimmer of hope, they naturally didn't want to give it up. After all, if they missed this opportunity, who knew when the next one would appear.
For this, they had even prepared.
They were willing to temporarily discard their pride.
After discussing this point, they then began to negotiate how to explain the pressure that suddenly erupted from the Liu family earlier, in a way that was low-key and did not arouse suspicion.
As for the final outcome.
They actually managed to come up with something.
After their deliberation, the Liu family finally announced to the outside world that a Golden Core true monarch had passed over their family's airspace. Whether others believed it or not, could the local powerful families question the Liu family, or could they question the unknown Golden Core true monarch? Since they could do neither,
they had to accept this explanation.
Overall, this matter had reached a conclusion.
...
That evening, Ding Yun, as per the agreement when she left, specifically went to the main courtyard of the Liu family head.
And was received quite courteously by the Liu family head and the other two Foundation Establishment ancestors.
At this time, Ding Yun had already seen through their thoughts. So as soon as she sat down, she immediately said:
"I can roughly guess your thoughts and what you want. I can give you cultivation techniques, but you also need to be low-key and cautious.
The spiritual energy here is a bit thin now, so I will go elsewhere to cultivate and break through after some time. During my absence, I have no other requirements for you, except that I hope you will be low-key and not get your sect destroyed. Also, please take good care of my mother.
I mean my biological mother.
If you agree.
I can give you the cultivation technique now..."
"Agree, agree, of course, we agree. This is what we should do. Our Liu family has survived by being cautious all these years, how could we relax?"
"And we will naturally protect your mother!"
Faced with these minimal requests from Ding Yun, the Liu family head and others naturally agreed enthusiastically, and then looked at Ding Yun expectantly, waiting for her to give them good cultivation techniques.
"So be it, here you go!"
As she spoke, Ding Yun took out the jade slip she had prepared earlier and handed it to the Liu family head, explaining:
"This cultivation technique is called the Great Five Elements True Scripture. It can be cultivated separately or as a whole.
If cultivated separately, one can cultivate according to their spiritual root attribute.
If not separated, it is for those with Five Spiritual Roots.
It is a God Transformation level cultivation technique, but the complete technique is too dangerous for you. Therefore, I have only extracted the content before the Golden Core realm to give to you.
Later, you should first choose the attribute-specific cultivation techniques suitable for yourselves and re-cultivate. When you have achieved success and broken through to the Golden Core realm, or when I return.
Then, I will teach the cultivation technique to the family disciples.
Otherwise, I fear you won't be able to protect this cultivation technique. You might not gain much benefit and instead face danger!"
