Chapter 146: A Cultivation Technique from Tens of Thousands of Years Ago: The Harmony of Water and F
"So, this Flaming Cauldron has such an ancient origin."
After receiving the inheritance, Lu Qing also learned a lot about the cauldron's origins.
The Flaming Cauldron was created tens of thousands of years ago by the Li Huo Sect, a cultivation sect. It was a sacred artifact crafted by the collective power of the entire sect.
Later, a cataclysmic event caused the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to wane, leading to the extinction of spirit herbs. As a result, cultivation sects frequently clashed in their bid to secure resources.
The Flaming Cauldron was damaged during a fierce war between the Li Huo Sect and another sect when their sacred artifacts collided with each other.
That battle was incredibly brutal.
Not only was the Flaming Cauldron damaged to the point that the spirit formation within collapsed, returning it to its original form, but the Li Huo Sect was also destroyed. The entire sect was eradicated, with only a handful of disciples managing to escape.
The Flaming Cauldron was taken by the sect master's son, who fled and hid in a secret cave prepared by the sect. There, he barely managed to survive.
However, the sect master's son eventually passed away in that cave due to his severe injuries.
The Flaming Cauldron remained in the cave alongside his remains until tens of thousands of years later when Wei Shanhai and Wang Cangyi discovered it.
The inheritance on the cauldron was also left by that descendant of the Li Huo Sect's sect master.
"Spiritual energy, cultivation sects... Who would've thought that tens of thousands of years ago, in this world, there existed a strange energy called spiritual energy, and a cultivation method that was prevalent. It was the legendary art of cultivation."
"It's a pity that spiritual energy is now scarce. Even if I've obtained this cultivation technique, it's of little use."
Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
The descendant of the Li Huo Sect's sect master had left behind numerous cultivation methods within the Flaming Cauldron, including even the sect's sacred technique, the 【Southern Ming Li Huo Secret Art】, which only the sect master's lineage was qualified to practice.
However, without exception, all of these cultivation methods required the absorption and refinement of spiritual energy to strengthen oneself.
In the current world, where spiritual energy was scarce, these cultivation methods, no matter how excellent and powerful, had become useless.
The efficiency of cultivating martial arts was far superior.
After all, once martial arts cultivation reached the Innate Realm, its power was not much weaker than that of a cultivator of the same level.
Moreover, primal energy was different from spiritual energy. Although it might not be as mystical as spiritual energy, it was abundant and omnipresent.
Therefore, even though Lu Qing had obtained the cultivation techniques, he had no plans to switch paths for the time being.
"However, while I can't practice the cultivation methods, there are still some minor techniques in the inheritance that will be very useful to me."
For example, the techniques for artifact refining and pill concoction within were very insightful for Lu Qing.
The Li Huo Sect was named after the 'Li Huo' or 'Separating Fire' technique, indicating the depth of their research into the path of fire.
In fact, the Li Huo Sect was not only powerful in terms of their cultivation techniques but also highly skilled in artifact refining and pill concoction.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to create a divine artifact like the Flaming Cauldron.
Lu Qing had studied medicine before, and this pill concoction technique could greatly enhance his knowledge in that field.
As for artifact refining...
During his battle with the burly man, his battle knife had been damaged, forcing him to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
This experience made Lu Qing realize the importance of having a good weapon.
If his battle knife had been sturdy enough, defeating the burly man wouldn't have required so much effort.
His knife skills alone would have been sufficient.
Now that he had this artifact refining technique, he could try to create a true treasure knife of his own.
In the silence, Lu Qing quietly sorted through the inheritance he had just obtained, contemplating his path of cultivation.
Just as he had sorted out most of it, he was suddenly awakened by a strong wave of fluctuation outside.
He opened his eyes and saw that the source of the fluctuation was coming from Master.
At this moment, Master's body was displaying a strange scene.
On the left side of his body, white mist billowed and water vapor filled the air, while on the right side, red light flickered and dryness abounded.
Between his hands was a red and white vortex rotating slowly, complementing each other and forming a perfect circle, looking extremely divine.
The others who were also meditating on the techniques were awakened by this commotion.
When they saw this, they all widened their eyes.
Especially Wei Shanhai, who was even more astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "Water and fire fusion, how is that possible!"
Water and fire fusion?
Lu Qing's heart stirred, and he immediately activated his special ability, looking at Master.
He saw that amidst the dense red light of the special ability, several strips of paper floated out from Master's body.
【Chen Songqing: Skilled in medicine, kind-hearted, and respected by others, a very decent old doctor.】
【Cultivation: Innate Initial Realm Peak, Water and Fire Dual Attribute True Qi.】
【Possesses Virtuous Power, able to attract good fortune and avoid disasters, with deep roots in blessings.】
【Extraordinary comprehension, able to understand the Innate Realm intent.】
【Comprehends the principles of water and fire complementing each other, controls the Water and Fire Dual Attribute Innate True Qi, complementing and aiding each other, greatly increasing cultivation speed and power.】
"Master is truly a genius in cultivation."
Lu Qing exclaimed as he looked at the words that had appeared on Master.
Originally, Master had been cultivating a Water Attribute Innate Technique left by Li Weitian, and the Innate True Qi in his body was also Water Attribute.
Unexpectedly, in this underground chamber, he had comprehended the intent of water and fire complementing each other, once again mastering a dual-attribute True Qi.
Moreover, not only did the two True Qis not conflict, but they also complemented and aided each other, making his power even stronger and his cultivation speed faster.
In the chamber, everyone else had lost their focus and was staring intently at the old doctor, who was displaying a strange phenomenon.
Wei Xinghe and Wang Cangyi, among others, vaguely sensed something from the phenomenon displayed by the old doctor.
But just as they were about to grasp that inspiration, they couldn't quite catch it.
Until the old doctor's body stopped displaying the phenomenon and opened his eyes, they still couldn't grasp that sense of enlightenment.
"Why are you all staring at this old man?"
The old doctor, who had opened his eyes, saw that everyone except Lu Qing was staring intently at him, and he was startled, thinking that something must have happened to him.
"Doctor Chen, what were you cultivating just now?"
Wei Shanhai asked eagerly.
As someone at the Innate Realm, he was completely shocked by the water and fire energies emanating from the old doctor.
"It's nothing, I just comprehended the strange intent of this cauldron and managed to enter the door of another technique I had comprehended before." The old doctor smiled.
"But I saw that your body was alternating between water and fire just now, and you were actually able to cultivate two completely opposite Innate True Qis at the same time?" Wei Shanhai asked incredulously.
"It's just a stroke of luck, comprehending a little bit of the principles of the five elements supporting and restraining each other."
Wei Shanhai's eyes widened even more, and he completely lost the demeanor of an Innate Realm powerhouse.
