Chapter 6: The Grand Ceremony of the Instrumental Sect
Without these cultivation techniques, one can only remain forever mediocre, stagnating in the early stages of Qi refinement, and thus waste one's life.
Li Wanqing understood that there is a saying in the realm of cultivation regarding the method of cultivating wealth and companions. In the world of cultivation, especially, it is difficult to find a single method. However, truly superior cultivation techniques are similarly monopolized by prominent families and major sects, making it extremely challenging for ordinary individuals to obtain them
Li Wan glanced through the preface and could not help but show a look of shock on her face
I am the Taoist of the薪, entrusted by the supreme command of the教主, to compile over 1,200 volumes of scriptures and texts, in preparation for those with affinity
Only when the young ones grow a little older, possessing the corresponding experience and knowledge, and having a comprehensive understanding of the ways of the world and human emotions, can they truly grasp these classics
It can thus be seen how suitable this "Great Canon of Instruments" is for Li Wan
It seems that I must proceed step by step; only when my cultivation reaches a profound level will I be able to break the restrictions and access more.
Li Wanqi was initially puzzled, but after a moment of reflection, she suddenly understood.
If one were to truly compare, it would be to see whether the doctrines inherited by those noble families and prominent sects are as powerful as the self-proclaimed doctrines of the Heavenly Sacred Church
He discovered a method that breaks conventions, allowing for the creation of vitality seals out of thin air, which can be used as disposable magical tools, named the Void Treasure Seal.
The ordinary magical techniques require one to reach the mid-stage of Qi Refinement and attain a balance of movement and stillness in order to practice. However, this virtual treasure seal is, strictly speaking, merely a technique for refining tools and not a magical power. Therefore, with Li Wan's current cultivation level, he can also practice it.
Li Wan quietly merged her consciousness and immediately discovered that the jade slip contained a text titled "The Great Canon of the Instrument Sect"
The surge that rushed into my mind, like a gentle stream flowing...
After experiencing a period of anxiety and uncertainty, Li Wan finally managed to calm her emotions and continued to examine the contents within the book
It was truly perilous, possessing a great treasure without being aware of it... If in the past few days I had encountered someone from the mysterious sect attempting to seize it, I would have been doomed
This is not a cultivation technique, but rather a compilation of techniques, a secret repository of the grand ceremony
Li Wan felt as if she had been struck by a huge pie from the heavens. After a moment of surprise and confusion, she quickly reacted, jumping up to check the doors and windows, repeatedly confirming that they were all tightly closed and showing no signs of anyone passing by. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief
Although the Five Elements Spiritual Qi is already quite precious, it pales in comparison to this Divine Consciousness Jade Slip, which is simply insignificant.
In the section on clothing and adornments, there are categories such as the clothing section, skirt section, silk section, and ring section. The primary focus is on defense and protection, often pertaining to garments and armor.
A variety of magical tools and spiritual treasures, along with corresponding introductions and explanations, methods of appreciation, forging, ritual refining, maintenance, and restoration, are all included within.
Soon, Li Wan reaped the rewards
The preface states: "Instruments are treasures of cultivation. While one may rely on external objects without harming one's essence and life, they can nonetheless protect oneself, engage in battles and conflicts, and even enter the Dao through instruments. Practitioners must not neglect their use..."
He was taken aback
Understanding the earnest intentions of the predecessors, Li Wan simply disregarded the sealed energies and began to search within the foundational techniques that he could manipulate
Once one masters a portion of it, one can draw parallels and refine all manner of tools in the world, thus earning the title of a grand master in the art of tools
This is akin to a learned scholar imparting classical knowledge to a child; no matter how extensively you reference and eloquently expound, it is ultimately a futile effort, for the child, aside from being able to recognize characters and read, understands nothing else. At most, they can merely memorize and become superficially familiar with the material.
However, Li Wan was also aware that the cultivation world had seemingly undergone multiple calamities from ancient times to the present. It was not surprising for any sects from the Middle Ages, Ancient Times, or even Prehistoric eras to be lost and then reappear in the world. Thus, she continued to read on
However, Li Wan is not concerned about such matters now, nor is it necessary for him to be. He has more important things to attend to.
Then Li Wan looked at its catalog, which was divided into numerous chapters, recording over one thousand unique methods of artifact refinement, as well as one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred different types of treasure diagrams. Furthermore, there were divine abilities and secret techniques closely related to artifact refinement, such as Pure Yang True Fire and Spiritual Treasure Dharma Manifestation, along with cultivation methods, making it truly comprehensive and infinitely profound
In the chapter on furnaces and cauldrons, there are sections on the furnace body, the cauldron body, the bottle body, and the jar body
The content contained within this spiritual consciousness jade slip is truly vast; if it were to be fully transcribed in text, it would likely require a lifetime of effort to comprehend even a fraction of it. Utilizing the unique properties of the spiritual consciousness jade slip in this manner to directly access the memories and experiences of predecessors can be considered the shortcut of all shortcuts
Its benefits are mainly twofold. Firstly, it explains the usage of various patterns and seals; as long as one learns them thoroughly, it can serve to solidify the foundation, preparing for the mastery of more advanced techniques in the future. Secondly, this technique is not merely a method for refining tools, but can also be used as a means of self-defense against enemies, containing its own intricacies.
Wenbao Chapter, includes the Mirror Section, Seal Section, Illustration Section, Pen Section ... ...
Upon further examination, it is found to be subdivided into sections on weapons, including the sword section, knife section, bow section, and arrow section... The methods of refining various treasures primarily focus on warfare and killing, mostly pertaining to weapons and tools.
Even I was taken aback, almost missing the true treasure. Li Wan's gaze was fervent as she looked at this jade pendant, "Now I can only hope that what is recorded inside is a cultivation technique, rather than secrets of heaven and earth"
In the chapter on banners, there are sections on flags, banners, tents, and standards
He is quick-witted and immediately realizes that within this situation, fortune and misfortune are interdependent and should not be overlooked
Speaking of which, this is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by the direct descendants and heirs of the Dao lineage. His current status is comparable to that of the direct heirs of those prestigious families, or perhaps, the direct disciples of the sect leader
In the world, there are countless individuals who acquire great treasures and experience extraordinary encounters, yet more often than not, they fall victim to murder for their riches or are robbed of their opportunities. This is what is referred to as the sin of possessing a precious gem.
Regardless of everything else, let’s thoroughly understand it before discussing further. This seems to be a recommendation from Senior Xindao, which is equivalent to my introductory reading material
These appear to be fundamental techniques, specifically intended for the cultivation of disciples in the Qi Refinement stage
This grand ceremony begins with a preface that explains its origins, which astonishingly is a legacy of a Daoist tradition claimed by a self-proclaimed sect known as the Holy Teachings of the Heavens, reserved for those with affinity
This grand ceremony encompasses both the methods of refining tools and the principles of utilizing them, with content that is all-encompassing, leading one to wonder whether all the secret techniques and knowledge related to the art of tools in the world are contained within it
Too much ... ... simply too much ... ...
This treatise on the essence of instruments begins by clearly stating its purpose, discussing the function of the instrument itself
However, even upon reaching this stage, one may not necessarily be able to apply what has been learned with ease; it may require several more decades of effort to fully comprehend before one can become a master in their field
One must absorb all the spiritual energy, rendering the entire spiritual jade tablet blank, in order to complete the entire inheritance
Li Wan eagerly thought to herself as she activated the jade slip of spiritual consciousness
He felt a surge of joy in his heart and quickly immersed himself in it
There is no need to say, I am indeed the one destined for this, but the name of the Celestial Holy Sect seems unfamiliar to me, and I do not know what it is.
This is precisely the reason why the Spirit Sense Jade Slip is regarded as a precious treasure; in fact, the true treasure is not the artifact itself, but the knowledge and heritage recorded within it
Fortunately, the Xindao Ren who left behind the jade slip of divine consciousness was very meticulous, directly employing powerful divine abilities to seal away the vast majority of the texts. Aside from the preface section that was previously reviewed, as well as the catalog and related introductions, only a very small number remain accessible.
It can even be said that it has played a precisely appropriate role in guiding Li Wanxiu towards progress
Additionally, there are extensive treasures of natural beauty, including various pearls and gourds, as well as numerous naturally formed sacred treasures.
Their respective primary functions include soul collection, weaving, formation arrangement, refining, sacrificial refining, storage, suppression, sealing, and spirit communication, with countless marvelous uses; the artifacts include flying swords, magical knives, divine bows, precious arrows, celestial garments, splendid robes, feathered silks, golden bracelets, jade rings, and many other magical tools and spiritual treasures
These energy mechanisms also encompass over ten techniques, which can be freely observed.
Ultimately, the content of this "Great Canon of Instruments" is too vast, making it inevitable for ordinary juniors to be dazzled and overly excited by it
One after another, streams of energy emerged from within, resembling flickering lights, penetrating through his brow.
Li Wanxin closed her eyes with a sense of trepidation, as if praying to the gods, murmuring: "It must be the cultivation technique... the technique..."
Having numerous choices and selecting the best among them is the essence of what is known as the great classic. This virtual treasure seal is likely the most suitable for my cultivation at present
If one can obtain a suitable cultivation method from the divine consciousness jade slip at wwwhetushucomcom, even if it is not of the highest quality, it would still equate to having a pathway to ascend to a higher realm
The Great Canon of Instrumentation
No wonder it dares to take the name of the Sect, claiming to be a grand classic. This is not merely a technique, but rather equivalent to an entire scripture repository, a treasure trove of secret methods. If I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I can directly take the name of the Sect and preside over the major sects renowned for their weapon refining, becoming their leader and mentor! The Flame Daoist, the Flame Daoist... the flame is passed down through generations... the Dao lineage is inherited... The purpose of compiling this grand classic is precisely for this. If I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I can directly take the name of the Sect and preside over the major sects renowned for their weapon refining, becoming their leader and mentor! The Flame Daoist, the Flame Daoist... the flame is passed down through generations... the Dao lineage is inherited... The purpose of compiling this grand classic is precisely for this. I have never heard of any Heavenly Holy Teachings; it seems quite remarkable. If I possess this, does it mean I have also become a disciple of the Holy Teachings?
Compared to this benefit, those secrets and important confidential matters, such as the existence of celestial treasures hidden in a certain place, are much less significant. It is not that they lack value, but rather that with Li Wan's current status and strength, he is not yet qualified to profit from them
However, this method of inheritance is not entirely without effort; it requires the so-called destined individuals to possess a strong divine consciousness, as well as profound cultivation. Moreover, they must have the corresponding knowledge to fully understand and absorb the content within.
Li Wan is no longer a disciple of the sect. Even if he were to encounter fortuitous events and come across one or two cultivation techniques, they may not necessarily be suitable for his practice. However, having obtained the "Grand Canon of the Instrument Sect" allows him to choose from among many techniques, and it contains numerous experiences left by the esteemed predecessors of various celestial teachings for reference. This is akin to having many dedicated elders from the sect meticulously guiding him, answering his doubts, and addressing all his inquiries.
Within this jade tablet of divine consciousness, there seems to be an innumerable array of divine consciousness energies fluctuating within it. To possess them is equivalent to having a library of countless volumes and the ability to remember everything at a glance
