My Informative Cultivation Life

"Apprentice, their expressions seem a bit odd, do you know why?" Jian Yuanzi glanced at Changye True Lord and asked through a telepathic message.

Yang Ji smiled and relayed the events of that day to Jian Yuanzi via telepathy.

"I see, it appears that Changye Senior Brother has brought him here to apologize," Jian Yuanzi nodded secretly, communicating through a telepathic message, "Given that Changye Senior Brother has humbled himself, perhaps it's best if you let the matter go, apprentice. What do you say?"

"Since Uncle Changye has gone to such lengths, I shouldn't pursue the matter further," Yang Ji replied telepathically, but he still wanted to give him a bit of a scare and thus smiled and said, "Brother Chang Yuan seems somewhat familiar to me. Have we met before in the Flowing Fire Sea Region?"

Changye True Lord's hand suddenly paused.

A tension inexplicably tightened in Chang Yuan's heart as he looked deeply at Yang Ji, then with a surface calm that belied his inner turmoil, he smiled and said, "There are many with an ordinary appearance like mine, Junior Brother must be mistaken, but it seems we've made each other's acquaintance today."

"Oh? Is that so?" Yang Ji said with a smile that hinted at deeper meaning.

"Father, he seems... to have recognized me," Chang Yuan communicated through telepathy, his voice tight.

"He has certainly recognized you," Changye True Lord sighed.

"Father, what should we do now?" Chang Yuan frowned inwardly and asked through telepathy.

"What else can we do but offer a sincere apology!" Changye True Lord said sternly.

"Haha, Apprentice Nephew Yang, you youngsters should interact more with each other. In the future, the Canglan Sect will rely on you all," Changye True Lord laughed heartily, taking out a teapot, "Chang Yuan, go and pour some tea for your Martial Uncle and Junior Martial Brother."

"Martial Uncle, please enjoy the tea!"

"Junior Martial Brother, please enjoy the tea!"

Chang Yuan took the teapot and poured tea for Jian Yuanzi and Yang Ji respectively, and then also poured a cup for Changye.

Jian Yuanzi smiled, glanced at Changye, and took the lead in raising his cup of tea for a sip, praising, "Excellent tea!"

Yang Ji looked at the tea, then at Chang Yuan, and intentionally paused for two breaths before he too smiled, picked up the cup, and drank.

Seeing this scene, both Changye True Lord and Chang Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

This one sip could be said to signify the dissipation of past grievances, as everyone understood tacitly, clear in their hearts.

"Haha, Apprentice Nephew Yang, what do you think of this tea?" Changye True Lord asked with a big laugh.

"Uncle's tea is naturally good!" Yang Ji responded with a slight smile.

"Haha, since you enjoy it, Apprentice Nephew, I will order someone to buy more from the Immortal Cultivation Continent some other day," Changye True Lord said, quite pleased.

"There's no need to trouble yourself, Uncle, considering the long journey," Yang Ji said with a smile, shaking his head.

"No trouble at all, no trouble. Drinking such Spiritual Tea often can clear the mind, make it nimble and meticulous; it can also spur on inspirations in Cultivation like a spring gushing forth, illuminating the path ahead, ushering in clarity. Apprentice Nephew ought to drink more of it," he said.

Changye True Lord smiled, his gaze landing on Yang Ji before he suddenly asked, "By the way, with such remarkable comprehension, have you considered crafting an Invincible Taoist Outfit?"

"Invincible Taoist Outfit?" Yang Ji paused.

"An Invincible Taoist Outfit essentially consists of Dao level Cultivation Techniques, movement techniques, attack spells, life-saving spells, defense spells, and so forth. Now that you are Cultivating the True Rigidity Divine Art, which is Dao level, you could also train in other Dao level spells, creating the strongest Taoist Outfit," Changye True Lord explained.

"Indeed, Junior Brother, I've heard that within the Dao Sect, geniuses are as common as clouds, each with an extraordinary background. Nearly every one of them has cultivated several Dao-grade techniques, making them well-rounded and without any weak points, their strength formidable and invincible," Chang Yuan said.

"Beyond one's Spiritual Root, the difference between ordinary people and geniuses lies in comprehension. While most people struggle to grasp a single Dao-grade technique after decades or even a hundred years, geniuses are different. In the same amount of time, they might cultivate a variety of Dao-grade techniques to great success.

They are well-equipped for both offense and defense, with profound Spiritual Power—that's why they are powerful and can establish themselves in the Dao Sect," Changye Immortal said.

"True, the Dao Sect does not lack powerful cultivation techniques and methods. Those geniuses are virtually invincible in all aspects, possessing strong combat capabilities. I intended to find a day to discuss this with you, and since your martial uncle has mentioned it, I will explain it to you in detail."

Jian Yuanzi said, "To establish oneself within the Dao Sect, one must have complete cultivation techniques, neither lacking in offense nor defense."

"The cultivation technique you are practicing, the True Rigidity Divine Art, is of Dao-grade, as is your offensive technique, the Gui Cang Sword. In addition, the sect also has a Dao-grade body technique, but you lack a Dao-grade defensive technique and a Dao-grade speed technique."

"Should you manage to master them all, you would likely pass the Dao Sect's first round of assessment with ease, and the second round too would not be a challenge."

"Unfortunately, our sect lacks Dao-grade defensive and speed techniques," Jian Yuanzi said regretfully.

Suddenly, Changye Immortal spoke, "We indeed do not possess those two types of techniques in our sect, but Changqing Gate has the Dao-grade speed technique, and Nanyuan Sect possesses a top-grade defensive technique. If the Supreme Master could make an effective move, perhaps it might be possible to acquire them all."

However, Jian Yuanzi shook his head and said, "The Supreme Master once took Chang Xiao to Changqing Gate and even once planned to exchange two Dao-grade techniques for their 'Vertical Golden Light.' Sadly, Changqing Gate simply wouldn't loosen their grip. As their own geniuses are not remarkable, they also don't wish to see our Canglan Sect prosper."

"The Supreme Master has taken Chang Xiao to Changqing Gate to exchange techniques?" Changye Immortal asked with a frown.

Jian Yuanzi nodded and said, "This matter is quite secret; I only know of it as Chang Xiao's master."

"At that time, apart from the Supreme Master, there was also the supreme leader of Nanyuan Sect present at Changqing Gate. The three sects' high ranks met, and the Supreme Master proposed a complementing exchange of techniques. Alas, the other two sects were self-serving, and the negotiations eventually fell through. Disappointed, the Supreme Master had no choice but to return home."

"If everyone were a bit more open-minded, our Thousand-Islands Sea Area wouldn't have gone so many years without a Void Refining Expert," Changye Immortal said, his expression growing solemn.

"So, the other two sects are not willing?" Changye Immortal asked.

Jian Yuanzi sighed and nodded.

Vertical Golden Light?

Yang Ji's expression shifted. He was not interested in Nanyuan Sect's top-grade defensive technique because he possessed a superior body refining technique, the Humanoid Weapon. However, the Dao-grade speed technique known as Vertical Golden Light had caught his interest.

"Master, what conditions did Changqing Gate propose back then?" he inquired right away.

Jian Yuanzi's expression darkened as he said, "Changqing Gate wanted our sect to exchange all of our Dao-grade cultivation techniques and methods. The Supreme Master agreed."

"But Changqing Gate played a trick, changing the terms at the last moment. At the time of the trade, they suddenly claimed that all the Dao-grade techniques and methods could only be exchanged for the first volume of Vertical Golden Light."

"Not only were they insatiable, but they also had the gall to put on airs, as if they were bestowing charity."

"Unwilling to have the Supreme Master receive such an affront, Chang Xiao took the initiative to call off the trade and returned to our sect," Jian Yuanzi explained.

Immediately, Changye Immortal became angry and said, "All of our Dao-grade techniques and methods just for the first volume of Vertical Golden Light? Changqing Gate is simply too bullying. Since they had previously agreed to a trade, why resort to such repulsive tactics?"

Jian Yuanzi sighed, "What can we do when they have no geniuses in their sect? If they had a genius like Chang Xiao, the supreme leader of Changqing Gate would likely wear out our threshold trying to complete their set of techniques."
