This blood essence detection technique was actually sothing Feng Jun actively asked about from Ma Sanniang.
He wasn’t trying to probe into the secret techniques of Danxia Heaven—if you’re unwilling to share, you don’t have to.
He was simply very curious about what this secret technique was all about, how it could consu so much spiritual energy, and whether it needed improvent.
To be honest, he shouldn’t be concerned about Ma Sanniang’s spiritual energy consumption, as they are not family, but now, as Ma Sanniang is recovering her spiritual energy, she might need to use the spirit land where his parents are, so he cannot ignore it.
Moreover, he’s also interested in "needing improvent" because he’s now a handy little modifier, the more he learns, the better.
As for leaking so of his ideas during the improvent process, he really doesn’t mind at all—he’s soone who grew up in the information age, uninterested in actively setting up information barriers.
In fact, it’s not that he lacks vigilance or is eager to share knowledge freely; no one understands better than him the principle of not spreading knowledge lightly. However, keeping everything like a miser isn’t right either, and there should be exchanges among cultivators.
For example, the detection technique they discussed this ti is rely an application of a technique, which won’t affect the pattern of the Daoist sects. Moreover, the most critical point is that Danxia Heaven also has it, although it’s just a bit inferior.
So, under these circumstances, Feng Jun helping to improve it counts as a good deed.
In fact, such help between different sect branches isn’t uncommon, with the most famous being when Heavenly Master Zhang disseminated the Dao on Mount Qingcheng, resulting in later Qingcheng disciples being very friendly and cordial upon eting Dragon Phoenix Mountain disciples.
Moreover, when Ma Sanniang was looking for people, although it was for the na of Danxia Heaven, it essentially helped divert the crowd from Xiuzhen Courtyard; otherwise, the entrance to Luohua Sect would be even more crowded.
Ma Sanniang went to the spirit land to feel it, while Feng Jun sat on the side deducing. It took him almost an entire day to make considerable modifications to Danxia Heaven’s "Lifedeath Thousand chanisms Guide," then he inscribed it on a piece of obsidian and handed it to Ma Sanniang.
Ma Sanniang’s divine sense was very keen, and she easily noticed the differences. "You... modified my Danxia Heaven’s secret thod like this?"
"At least it can reduce your spiritual energy consumption by 80%," Feng Jun casually replied, "and the detection range is further, with improved accuracy. If you don’t believe it, you can try it."
Ma Sanniang didn’t try it imdiately. She didn’t doubt Feng Jun’s words, but she still found it hard to accept, "Is the inheritance of Magu Mountain really this lacking?"
"It’s not lacking; it’s sowhat crude," Feng Jun answered solemnly. "Actually, it’s quite comprehensive, but for simply sensing blood to find people, there’s no need to use it that way. I revised it to a simplified version for you."
Of course, Ma Sanniang could tell this was a simplified version. What surprised her was, "You not only can modify cultivation techniques but also can selectively separate so functions. The most critical thing is... did you deduce this in less than a day?"
Feng Jun didn’t want to show off too much, so he answered truthfully, "I’ve thought carefully about similar thods, including the techniques I use myself, which I personally modified. It’s just skill from frequent practice."
Ma Sanniang shook her head, speaking sowhat self-deprecatingly, "Compared to you, I feel like a fake at the Out-of-Dust Phase... Is your ability to modify cultivation techniques innate or cultivated through secret techniques?"
Feng Jun thought if such a secret technique really existed, Ma Sanniang might even have thoughts of defecting from her sect. However, he didn’t have such a secret technique, "It’s my opportunity."
Hearing it was an opportunity, Ma Sanniang knew she couldn’t ask further, but she couldn’t help but secretly wonder: Is it really suitable for ?
However, this thought was actually sensed by Feng Jun. He answered affirmatively, "I’m not sure if it’s suitable for others, but I’m sure this modification is definitely suitable for you. It’s a tailor-made version!"
It took Ma Sanniang five days to adapt to this modified cultivation technique—after all, her previous usage habits had already ford to a certain extent, especially with frequent recent use; changing habits is not an easy task.
But once she truly mastered it, she was astonished to find out, "This guy’s modification is too amazing, right? It can even selectively trace by gender?"
All along, she faced a similar problem to Feng Jun, struggling hard only to find the wrong person, discovering it was just a relative. Now at least she could predict whether the person was male or female, which brought her great convenience.
Guan Shanyue knew that the Supre Elder had obtained a new technique, but irrelevant ones to the Out-of-Dust Phase. Although curious, she knew it was of no help to her.
Unexpectedly, the Supre Elder specifically sought her out, handing her a black stone, speaking solemnly, "This is the technique bestowed by Mountain Master Feng, a simplified Lifedeath Thousand chanisms Guide. However, it’s not the effect of the Thousand chanisms Guide; it can be nad ’Blood Kin Search Technique’..."
"This technique and the Thousand chanisms Guide reflect each other, embodying true aning of the Dao, must be kept secret, and not shown to others lightly!"
Though Ma Sanniang is a bit weak at the Out-of-Dust Phase, she’s not fake. She at least has the insight to know that Feng Jun’s modified technique and the original technique are not the sa thing anymore. In fact, both techniques can be cultivated simultaneously.
What she valued most was that during Feng Jun’s modifications, he would reveal so thoughts. Understanding these principles would be of imnse benefit to cultivators—even a little insight would be incredibly rewarding.
It must be said, she truly had foresight, but her knowledge was a bit lacking. On the Kunhao plane, most people couldn’t be bothered to delve into the cultivation techniques modified by Feng Jun—because even if they did, it wouldn’t yield anything perceptible.
One would need to reach the realm of True Immortal Yi Jue to ponder his alterations.
However, there was nothing wrong with Madam Ma’s arrangent. She knew she couldn’t comprehend it herself, but isn’t that how a sect’s foundation is gradually built? What if Danxia Heaven were to prosper greatly in the future and produce a Golden Core Master?
"Alright," Guan Shanyue was quite pleased, but upon further thought, couldn’t help feeling regretful, "It’s a pity it only becos useful at the Out of Mundane stage."
Awaiting an Out of Mundane stage occurrence in Danxia Heaven could take forever.
"This isn’t an Out of Mundane technique," Madam Ma remarked seriously, "It can be used at the high tier of Qi Refinent, but the consumption is trendous."
This was one aspect of Feng Jun that she admired—his ability to not only modify techniques but also lower the usage barriers. Even in her era, very few could achieve this.
"Usable at the high tier of Qi Refinent...the way you put that," Guan Shanyue gave a wry smile again.
"Your thinking is misguided," Madam Ma lectured the sect’s leader, "Now is the era of the Daoist sects’ revival. Don’t you see how many are at the Qi Refinent stage at Luohua? Even those old monsters at the Golden Core stage have appeared, so why can’t Danxia Heaven produce high-tier Qi Refinent practitioners?"
Guan Shanyue nodded, "The Supre Elder is correct, I indeed lack ambition."
"You must energize yourself, so the disciples have sothing to look forward to. In this era of great competition, Danxia Heaven should make its mark," Madam Ma added, then shifted her attention, "In daily life, you can also take on so prayers related to finding abducted won."
Madam Ma gained sothing, and Feng Jun wasn’t without harvest either. The essence of exchanging Daoist techniques lies here; if only one party gains, it can’t last long. However, this ti he initially intended to lend pure support and unexpectedly gained from it, which was a pleasant surprise.
There were two key gains: First, by referencing the Lifedeath Thousand chanisms Guide, he actually found a thod for sensing the energy patterns of n and won from afar. This was very practical, as it would halve his workload when searching for lost children. Of course, these insights needed to be returned to Danxia Heaven.
The second gain was also reflected in the returns; he found a thod for using this technique at the Qi Refinent stage.
This was important to him because Zhang Caixin was now at the fifth layer of Qi Refinent, and the seventh layer was within reach. At that ti, Xiao Caixin would be busy, though this busyness wouldn’t directly benefit her cultivation, it would temper her Dao heart.
Cultivation has never been as simple as solitary practice behind closed doors.
Anyway, Feng Jun considered himself quite sincere. At the very least, he was not one to deceive in secret; the benefits he gained were all returned to Danxia Heaven. Otherwise, if he wanted to hide his talents, who would find out?
As long as he kept silent, even the True Immortal Yi Jue couldn’t possibly know what he comprehended.
With matters here settled, he made a trip to Amstan and once again fulfilled a "request" for Sofia.
The couple benefited from advice received at the Prayer Courtyard and finally passed the Daoist Temple’s devotion test.
Strictly speaking, their overall devotion index was still a tiny bit below Sofia’s standard, but since she was acquainted with this couple and understood how such matters could gather faith, she made an exception—she wasn’t all about being headstrong.
The missing child was soon found. The little one had been taken by a syndicate of evil, and to camouflage their criminal activities, when he was finally found, he turned out to be in Hon Kong—adopted by a Huaxia family.
For this search, he expended quite a bit of spiritual energy; consider this, it takes a significant amount of ti to get from Australia to Hon Kong. Yet the result was worthwhile, this is just his temperant—unwilling to aid those unrelated to Huaxia.
Ti flows like water; in the blink of an eye, it was almost the new year again. Considering everyone’s hard work this year, Feng Jun decided to grant a long holiday. Apart from those guarding the Xiuzhen Courtyard, everyone else went ho.
At Luohua Manor, aside from Hua Hua and Lin Heihu, the only one left was Feng Jing. She was quite filial to her mother, visiting often. Though letting go of the Xiuzhen Courtyard here proved difficult.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, everyone began returning one after another, and by the eighth, Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui returned.
The two of them were a bit late in returning this year, mainly because Director Yang had taken her daughter back to their family ho in Jin City.
During this trip ho, Gu Jiahui seed to have gained so insight, managing to successfully transcend the mundane and achieve the realm of a Qi Refiner on the third night after returning to Luohua Manor!
