Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 71: Chapter 61 The power of wisdom

After the little girl finished writing each paragraph, the female swordsman would retell it in the original text. The expressions on the faces of the people present became more and more vivid.

It was a bit more rewarding than expected. Everyone felt that even though it was just a retelling, it was still a real enjoyment. Some people were mesmerized, while others were afraid of forgetting every word and used their astonishing memory to write down every word of the female swordsman. Some cultivators even showed ecstatic expressions on their faces.

Many people regretted not buying a spiritual tool like a sound-fixing disk. Although the price of such spiritual tools was not low, it was enough to record many crucial speeches. Although according to the rules, such preaching sessions neither allowed note-taking nor recording with sound-fixing disks.

In order to maintain respect for the little immortal master, everyone did not dare to record notes openly. They only secretly excerpted some of the most crucial paragraphs on their sleeves or other hidden parts. Fortunately, today Shen Que'er first wrote a paragraph and then the female swordsman retold a paragraph. Everyone could secretly excerpt quite a lot of notes.

Shen Que'er first started talking about several common medicinal herbs in the mountains. Among the cultivators present, many were originally herb collectors, but no one knew as specifically and in detail as she did. Especially when Shen Que'er talked about several methods for maintaining the medicinal power and the vitality of the plants to the greatest extent, and also talked about the specific distinctions between these spiritual medicines and some similar mountain herbs, everyone suddenly had a lot of insights.

Next, the essence of Shen Que'er's preaching lay in the usage methods of many immortal pills. It could be said to open a completely different door. Especially the method of mixing several low-level medicines to restore spiritual power was definitely very practical. You should know that these spiritual medicines are all priced in gold and silver. These Qi Refining cultivators present usually don't have much spirit stones, but they don't lack gold and silver. This method will definitely save a large amount of spirit stones.

Then Shen Que'er talked about the part related to poisons. She didn't talk much, but every sentence was genuine and practical. Many poisoning methods were unheard of by Liu Suiyun before. Shen Que'er even mentioned a method of poisoning cultivators with a medicinal herb called Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis. According to her words, "Already a hundred thousand cultivators have unfortunately fallen under the power of Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis!"

This was clearly an extremely terrifying fact, but under Shen Que'er's pen, it became lovely. Liu Suiyun couldn't help but smile. And finally came the part that everyone was most concerned about and also the most mysterious spiritual planting technique.

Shen Que'er spent even less time on spiritual planting techniques. She only talked about it for a short while. But in this instant of explanation, many cultivators present saw completely different directions. They had never thought that there could be such a method of cultivating spiritual herbs.

It was just a pity that spiritual planting techniques had always been extremely mysterious. Shen Que'er's writing plus the retelling by the middle-aged female swordsman added up to only a little more than a quarter of an hour. Everyone had a feeling of wanting more.

What a pity! If it could be talked about for one or two hours, how wonderful it would be!

Liu Suiyun could only utter such a sigh. Shen Que'er's narration of less than a thousand words actually solved several problems that had puzzled him for a long time. But the problem was that after these problems were solved, more problems arose in his heart.

Spiritual planting techniques were so arduous. Not to mention anything else, just the thousands of cryptic languages alone made Liu Suiyun completely confused. Many cryptic languages were extremely mysterious. Cultivators who were not truly proficient in spiritual planting techniques couldn't understand what was going on at all.

And now the female swordsman had announced that everyone could start asking questions: "It can start now. Six questions!"

No one left. On the contrary, everyone's ears perked up. Everyone knew that each answer represented a question that a cultivator couldn't figure out no matter how hard they thought. Perhaps they could gain great benefits from this answer.

"May I ask Immortal Master Shen, how can Kunlun Yuhuazhi be used as medicine?"

"Little immortal master, I take the liberty to ask, if one is accidentally struck by the Wood God Nail for several years, is there any spiritual medicine for treatment?"

"Immortal Master Shen, I ask again..."

One question after another was asked in the predetermined order. And this Shen Que'er of the Linghua Sect still wrote down the answers with a pen and then had the middle-aged female swordsman beside her retell them to everyone. The cultivators who got the answers were some ecstatic, some immediately looked ashen, and some remained unchanged as if this question had nothing to do with them at all.

But the cultivators present, including Liu Suiyun, all gained quite a lot. And now the first five questions had been answered. The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level smiled kindly at Liu Suiyun. Liu Suiyun also stood up and asked his question: "May I ask Immortal Master Shen. I have been longing for spiritual planting techniques for a long time. So I hope Immortal Master Shen can recommend ten immortal books for beginners in spiritual planting techniques. If possible, in what order and by what methods should I practice these ten immortal books?"

After Liu Suiyun asked his question, there was silence behind the beaded curtain. Everyone was used to it. This little girl Shen Que'er would take a lot of time to write down her answer. But after waiting for a short while, Liu Suiyun heard the answer relayed by the female swordsman: "Change a question!"

Tai Kang was very curious and asked, "Why? Little immortal master, you promised to answer six questions."

The female swordsman in the beaded curtain also lowered her head and waited for Shen Que'er to write down a convincing answer. But soon Liu Suiyun heard Shen Que'er's pleasant voice like that of a swallow, although still with a hint of childishness, but this voice represented an authority: "Because this question is worth two hundred spirit stones!"

Two hundred spirit stones? Everyone's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. This little cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining really had a trick. The question he asked could actually be worth two hundred spirit stones.

But Shen Que'er hadn't finished speaking. When it came to professional questions, her voice became fluent and pleasant: "I made some mistakes just now. The first half of this fellow daoist's question is worth two hundred spirit stones. For these ten immortal books on spiritual planting techniques, knowing the titles is worth two hundred spirit stones..."

"And for the second half of the question, regarding in what order and by what methods to practice these ten immortal books, the answer to this question is worth two thousand spirit stones. So I'm very sorry!"

Just as Liu Suiyun was about to speak, Shen Que'er had already given a solution: "To express my apology, I allow you to ask me two questions. As long as it is within my allowed range, I will try my best to answer."

All the cultivators in the entire inn held their breath at once. Many intelligent cultivators had already thought of it. The question that Liu Suiyun had just asked, although only related to immortal books, already involved the core of the entire spiritual planting technique.

The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level even gave Liu Suiyun a thumbs up, indicating that this question was well asked. You should know that when that Little Golden Elixir cultivator quoted five hundred spirit stones for his question, it was one of the most proud moments in his life. And this time Liu Suiyun was even more impressive than him.

Liu Suiyun thought for a while and quickly gave his question: "Thank you, Immortal Master Shen, for your guidance. Before asking the question, can you satisfy my little curiosity? How much spirit stones are the ten immortal books worth in total? I am only asking one question now, that is, within the range allowed by Immortal Master Shen, recommend an introductory immortal book on spiritual planting techniques to me."

Shen Que'er's voice was a bit childish. After all, she was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl: "If you want to buy those ten immortal books, it should cost a hundred spirit stones. Maybe ninety spirit stones would be enough."

The immortal books themselves only cost a hundred spirit stones, but knowing the titles of these ten immortal books requires two hundred spirit stones. And knowing the order and method of learning these ten immortal books requires two thousand spirit stones. The cultivators present were moved by a sacred atmosphere.

This is the power of knowledge and wisdom!

Shen Que'er continued: "Within my allowed range, I will recommend to you the immortal book 'Essentials of True Spiritual Herbs'..."

"Essentials of True Spiritual Herbs!"

Liu Suiyun engraved this name in his heart. And over there, Shen Que'er had already left the inn accompanied by the middle-aged female swordsman. Perhaps because she had said so much, now Shen Que'er had returned to her original timid appearance. She lowered her head and dared not look at people. She tightly grasped the corner of her skirt and even almost tripped on the threshold.

It wasn't until Shen Que'er disappeared from everyone's sight that the entire inn let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Then everyone patted each other on the shoulders with satisfied expressions and chatted and laughed.

The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level was obviously very satisfied with Liu Suiyun's final question: "Brother, not bad! You deserve my admiration. It's a pity that the final question didn't get an answer, but it's really amazing!"

Liu Suiyun smiled: "My advantage lies not in knowing the answer, but in knowing how to find the answer!"

"Not bad, not bad! One question is worth two thousand two hundred spirit stones. Two thousand two hundred spirit stones! It's a pity it didn't come out!" The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level was full of emotions: "When I consulted that of the Little Golden Elixir stage before, he only asked me for five hundred spirit stones."

Tai Kang never missed an opportunity to argue: "I think that little immortal master may not know the answer! So she just casually came up with a figure of two thousand two hundred spirit stones to deceive everyone."

The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level immediately argued with him: "She is a disciple of the Linghua Sect. Do you know the Linghua Sect?"

"So what if it's the Linghua Sect? What if it's even the Taibai Sword Sect? Can you guarantee that the entry-level disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect know everything and never deceive people!"

"The entry-level disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect are at least at the Golden Elixir stage... Wait, how did I get dragged into talking about the Taibai Sword Sect?

The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level now came to his senses. He smiled at Liu Suiyun again: "What's your name, brother? Are you here to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining?"

"Xing Suiyun. Senior has a discerning eye!"

The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level obviously had a good opinion of Liu Suiyun. He said with a smile: "I organized a group of fellow daoists to exchange things with each other in a few days. Would you like to come and take a look then? Maybe fellow daoist can get what you want. Even if it's my way of thanking you for your question, at least it let me know that there is an immortal book on spiritual planting techniques called 'Essentials of True Spiritual Herbs'."

When the people at Tai Kang and Wang Dayang's table heard the invitation from the Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level, everyone was extremely envious.

The Qi Refining cultivator on the thirteenth level said it easily, but in reality, it was a small circle composed of a group of cultivators above the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Joining this small circle naturally had endless benefits. Others couldn't get in even if they tried their best. OnlyQi Refining cultivators on the eleventh level were very lucky to join. Now Liu Suiyun, a little cultivator who hadn't even reached the middle stage of Qi Refining, was actually invited in actively.

"Great honor!"

This was exactly the result Liu Suiyun wanted. He even wanted to find the immortal book mentioned by Shen Que'er through this small circle - 'Essentials of True Spiritual Herbs'.
