My Cultivation Starting from Archery

He really wanted to practise "Sword Qi Skill" on the spot, to test if incense could replace Spiritual Energy.

Unfortunately, even though there was no one around, he dared not attempt it lightly, who knows if the decrease in incense in the incense burner would be noticed by the person behind the scenes.

There were some other temples and Taoist Temples in Liangzhou.

Chen Sansi planned to take some time to visit them.

After perfunctorily offering a few sticks of incense, he went to the place where the spiritual lecture was held to listen to how eloquent the master was, so much so that even the Martial Saint had come to hear the teachings.

The venue for the spiritual lecture was in a separate courtyard behind the Ci Yun Temple, conducted in an open-air manner, with meditation mats placed on the rocky ground. The least accomplished person here was at the Hua Jin stage, and the Sect Master of the Yu Yang Sect was also present.

Everyone was seated cross-legged on the mats, quietly listening to the teachings of Real Person Qiu Mingzi.

Chen Sansi found a corner, sat down and listened for a while, only to find it full of obscure and difficult sentences.

"Five Qi Mystical Origin authentic, the method practiced steers through confusion. Like the external devoid of form, the sincere pursuit of ultimate truth."

"..."

He found it dull and tedious, almost falling asleep, as most of what was being taught was grossly abstract.

Fortunately, the spiritual lecture didn't last long and ended before dark.

"Mr. Chen arrived late."

Shao Yujing said with a smile, "Before the lecture starts, everyone drinks a bowl of Nourishing Spirit Soup, so they can be calm and at peace, and then gain insights into the Great Dao."

"Sect Master Shao speaks truly."

Real Person Qiu Mingzi came over with a horsetail whisk, "The world is restless and impulsive, especially Martial Artists. Mr. Chen, come early next time and do not miss the quiet prayer blessing segment."

"Certainly, certainly."

Chen Sansi verbally agreed, but inside he was puzzled.

If that was all there was to it, then Shao Yujing and the others were simply wasting their time here.

Cultivation requires Spiritual Energy.

Just listening to a Taoist muttering a few words here, what's the use? He doesn't take out the incense for everyone to utilize.

Thinking aimlessly, Chen Sansi took another glance at the medicine jar containing Nourishing Spirit Soup.

The jar was mostly emptied of soup, with only a bit of residue left, and it was this residue that made his heart tremble.

[Nourishing Spirit Soup: After consumption, it aids in calming the mind and concentration, beneficial for breakthroughs in cultivation.]

[??:???]

In his eyes, the medicine jar held not only Nourishing Spirit Soup but another kind of medicine!

And it was a medicine he could not recognize!

The entry [Recognize Medicine] can decode all mundane medicine recipes.

If he couldn't recognize it, it could only mean...

The other kind of medicine in the jar is not a mundane medicine!

Immortal Elixir!

How could an elixir from the Immortal Realm appear here?

Are mortals using Immortal Elixirs, or has there been an Immortal Trace here?!

Ci Yun Temple indeed has a big problem.

"Mr. Chen?"

Real Person Qiu Mingzi's ethereal voice sounded, "I have some free time lately, so I might hold lectures in the near future. Next time, Mr. Chen can come early, drink down the Nourishing Spirit Soup and listen to the teachings; you will surely gain something."

"Okay."

Chen Sansi reacted swiftly, none of his suspicions reflected on his face, and he agreed, "I will definitely come if I have time."
Find adventures at empire

The lecture ended.

The Martial Artists began descending the mountain one after another, discussing their gains regarding their state of mind on the way down.

Chen Sansi felt even more bewildered.

What was Qiu Mingzi giving these people to drink?

Poison? Immortal Elixir?

What were the effects?

Chen Sansi inquired with Shao Yujing and found out that these lectures had only begun in the past half year.

He also probed whether frequently drinking Nourishing Spirit Soup had any side effects, to which he received the answer that there were none; it only made one feel refreshed and peaceful.

"Incense, Immortal Elixir..."

"What does Ci Yun Temple want to do?"

"It can't really be that they're sincerely doing good deeds, helping each Martial Artist to break through, right?"

Ci Yun Temple could no longer be visited!

At least not until he reached the Hua Jin stage.

His master and fourth senior brother had set out for the Capital City more than half a month ago, and even if they were still around, he wouldn't know how to explain what was going on, as his Qi Observation Skill and many others things couldn't be explained.

Moreover, it's unknown what exactly Ci Yun Temple was up to. So far, they seem not to be harming anyone, so he would just observe in secret for the time being and decide after figuring out their intentions.

He bid Shao Yujing farewell.

Chen Sansi summoned Qian Xun, deliberately not going straight home, instead circling around on the spacious official road of Liangzhou City.

Someone was tracking him again!

The chaser's realm was much higher than his, so he could only rely on Qi Observation Skill to detect their presence, but he could never ascertain their identity; Cao Fan, Moon Splitting Mountain Villa, or even his eldest senior brother, any of them could be possible.

This was also the reason he had not taken the crucible up the mountain to conduct the Abnormal Fire experiment.

What a hassle!

After the follower had chased around behind the White Swan Horse for a few circles, they realized they had been exposed and were simply being played with like a monkey, so they chose to give up and did not continue the pursuit.

Subsequently, Chen Sansi made a trip to the Moon Splitting Mountain Villa and after leaving a note with the gatekeeper, he finally returned home.

At his doorstep, Si Qin had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, Mr. Hou the eunuch has arrived; he's waiting for you in the guest room of the front courtyard."

"He is? Take me to him."

Chen Sansi had a rough idea of what the visitor had come for.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see~"

Mr. Hou got up and said, "I've yet to congratulate you on your triumph as Selected Point!"

"Mr. Hou, please be seated."

Chen Sansi instructed, "Si Qin, go with Mo Hua to invite some good chefs to the house, today I shall give Mr. Hou a grand feast."

"No need for the trouble, I'm just here to say a few words and then I'll leave," Mr. Hou scared the maid away with his gaze and then lowered his voice, "May I know what Sun Dushi has taught you since you've become entry-level?"

"..."

Just as he thought.

Chen Sansi's guess was correct.

This Chief Eunuch had the same goal as Ji, both were here to inquire about Immortal Law.

The difference was that his eldest senior brother sought it for himself.
