Trantor: 549690339
Being stared at by a beautiful female cultivator, He Song had a straight face but felt a bit embarrassed in his heart.
He didn’t know what others experienced when buying the Introduction to Hundred Skills of Cultivation.
But by looking at the deste expression on Ping’er’s face, he realized.
He might be the most entric guest she has ever received.
Starting with Elixir Refinement Introduction, Ping’er never stopped talking. It wasn’t until after she finished introducing all the items in the tray, that she finally stopped.
During this time, Ping’er said so much that even He Song himself couldn’t count. He was so bored that he almost fell asleep.
Luckily, he didn’t doze off.
He Song sighed with relief at the thought and looked at Ping’er with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Such dedication she had, never stopping until the customer asked her to.
Today, such an honest and dedicated female cultivator like Ping’er was truly hard toe by.
“Thank you, Mr. He. Have you decided which one you want?” Ping’er, who had softened her gaze after receiving the teacup handed over by He Song, asked.
He Song was the only visitor who had made her introduce every single Introduction to the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.
Other cultivators who visited the Spirit Skill Pavilion would specify what they wanted right upon entering.
But not He Song, he acted as if he was visiting the Spirit Skill Pavilion simply to listen to tales.
ording to the Pavilion’s rules, Ping’er couldn’t stop unless He Song asked her to.
She almost lost her voice from speaking so much, something that wouldn’t even happen in an entire day usually.
Thankfully, He Song seemed to realize something and gave her a cup of spirit tea.
This gesture gave her some relief at heart.
In fact, it even made her excuse He Song to some extent.
In her opinion, He Song seemingly didn’t do all this on purpose.
With this thought fading away in her mind, Ping’er’s gaze towards He Song softenedpletely.
“Let’s go with the Array Tao Introduction, and thank you again.” After such long contemtion, He Song finally made up his mind.
The Array Tao.
Truly difficult indeed.
Cultivators with no talent could painstakingly study for decades and still not be able to set up even the simplest Spirit-Gathering Array.
Even some gifted cultivators would need to study for many years before they could understand the basics.
Studying Array Tao posed a huge risk for loose cultivators without a steady ie.
During the process, most cultivators’ cultivation would stagnate.
Because they were using all of their time on Array Tao, they couldn’t spare any for cultivation.
That,bined with the possibility of having no talent for Array Tao, could result in the worst disaster if after decades of seemingly fruitless study, they still couldn’t learn Array Tao and their cultivation level remained far behind their peers.
Even if they were gifted in the Art of Arrays, it still required a long study period. For cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, their cultivation level was the most crucial aspect.
If they wasted so much time on Array Tao and wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment stageter, it could be rather difficult.
Therefore, studying Array Tao was rare among loose cultivators.
Even among disciples of sects or noble families, those who are not particrly interested wouldn’t put much effort into studying it.
The reason being, it’s too hard!
Notwithstanding, once you have a basic understanding of Array Tao, it could bring massive benefits to the cultivators.
Take the simplest Spirit Gathering Array for an example.
Once you learn Spirit Gathering Array, you could set it up at your ce to gather the spirit Qi for yourself.
When the concentration of spirit Qi increases, naturally your cultivation speed would be much faster than other cultivators.
Besides, the Spirit-Gathering Array has other uses.
For instance, it could be used to nourish the spirit field.
Or help other cultivators to set up Spirit-Gathering Arrays while receiving a high reward in return.
Bing an Array Path Master is difficult.action
But once you sessfully be one, whether it’s setting up arrays for others or nourishing your spirit field using the Spirit-Gathering Array, the benefits are immense.
The rare the thing, the more valuable it is. This fact is undeniable.
As for He Song.
He possesses a more potent soul than other cultivators.
Not to mention his endless lifespan.
Furthermore, he’s also a spiritual nt farmer who could make use of the spirit field.
With all these advantages, choosing the Array Tao Introduction seemed like a natural course of action to him.
“Please wait a moment, Mr. He, while I go fetch the jade slip for you.” Holding the tray, Ping’er took her leave.
Naturally, the introductions to the Hundred Skills of Cultivation couldn’t possibly be books.
The numerous books there on the tray were just introductions to the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.
The actual Hundred Skills of Cultivation wouldn’t be disyed until one’s intention is confirmed.
A hundred spirit stones for a piece.
There must be dozens of pieces in the tray.
If they were real, what if somebody stole them? There would be a loss of thousands of spirit stones.
If such losses urred too many times, even the Spirit Skill Pavilion of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion couldn’t bear it.
Therefore, Ping’er’s words made sense.
Suddenly.
Ping’er returned.
This time, however, the numerous books that were formerly in the tray had disappeared.
What reced them was a jade slip emitting a faint glow.
This jade slip looked exquisite, clearly a valuable item.
He Song handed over a hundred spirit stones.
Once Ping’er received the spirit stones, she ced the tray in front of He Song’s face.
“You just need to affix the jade slip onto your forehead, Mr. He.” Ping’er’s voice came swiftly.
He Song nodded, then picked up the jade slip from the tray and pasted it onto his forehead.
Before reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivators do not possess divine sense. To read the information in the jade slip, they can only affix it onto their foreheads.
However, once they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and divine sense is formed, the jade slip would not need to be affixed to the forehead anymore. They could just probe straight into it with divine sense.
And the carrier of information, the jade slip, could only be manufactured after one reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and acquired divine sense.
What He Song was experiencing now was the service provided by a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Jade slip affixed to his forehead.
A surge of massive information gushed out from the jade dip into He Song’s brain, imprinting swiftly into his memory, making it unforgettable.
This mass of information was a bit overwhelming, causing He Song to feel a momentary difort.
But quickly, his difort vanished.
With a potent soul, his ability to process this sudden explosion of information was naturally superior than that of others.
Just a moment passed.
He Song, who had been absorbing the information from the jade slip with his eyes closed, opened his eyes again.
All the information of the Array Tao Introduction contained within the jade slip had been deeply imprinted into his memory, in meticulous detail.
After reviewing all the contents rted to the Array Tao Introduction in his mind and confirming that nothing had been missed, He Song then looked at Ping’er.
“Miss Ping’er, may I ask where does your pavilion procure its tea leaves?” Reminded of the incident where he gained cultivation progress just by drinking tea, He Song quickly asked.
In the Cultivation World, cultivation was the foundation of everything.
And this foundation had to be umted gradually over a long time.
Practising every day.
Using spirit stones to cultivate.
Eating elixirs by refining them into one’s spirit power.
All of these practices took time.
But interestingly, the tea leaves He Song had today didn’t fall into this category.
