Chapter 386: Chapter 205: Golden Core Assembly (Part 6)

He had already made up his mind.

The Cyan Emperor Sect’s foundation is decent. If they can pay some price to help this young man, it indirectly means that Luoxia Mountain and Lingshan Sword Immortal owe the Cyan Emperor Sect a favor.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt somewhat warm.

The eyes held a subtle expectation as they looked toward Shen Wen’an.

Shen Wen’an cupped his hands and said, “Sect Leader Jiang, forgive me, I wish to borrow a cultivation technique from the Cyan Emperor Sect for my mother.”

Cultivation Technique?

Jiang Huaqing’s expression became slightly solemn.

As a lower-grade Immortal Sect, the only technique worth outsiders’ interest is the Sect’s core inheritance—Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique.

Is he really asking for the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique?

Coming with the power of two Golden Core Realm experts, defiantly saying it’s borrowing.

Is it really borrowing?

This is outright robbery!

Jiang Huaqing was furious inside, yet dared not express anything on his face.

All he could do was force a smile and say, “May I know which cultivation technique Fellow Daoist Shen desires?”

“As long as it’s not the core inheritance of my Cyan Emperor Sect, out of respect for Elder Jiang and Elder Sword Immortal, I will not refuse.”

Daring not to openly oppose, he could only hint through words.

The Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique is the core inheritance of the Cyan Emperor Sect, so better not ask for it.

For anything else, out of respect for the two Golden Core experts, the Cyan Emperor Sect acknowledges it needs to suffer, we can give it to you.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an thought for a moment and said, “To be honest, Sect Leader Jiang, what I wish to borrow is indeed the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique of your esteemed sect.”

He paid no heed to Jiang Huaqing’s hint and openly stated his interest in the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique.

“This…” Jiang Huaqing was angered inside, but could only reveal a hint of awkwardness, and smiled as he cupped his hands, “Fellow Daoist Shen, you may not know that the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique is our sect’s core inheritance, the foundation of our Sect’s establishment, which I believe is known to both seniors.”

He looked hopefully at Jiang Xiuqi and Lingshan Sword Immortal.

Being people from Immortal Sects, they should know how vital a sect’s core inheritance is.

It’s something to be protected to the death and never allowed to spread outside.

Jiang Xiuqi actually anticipated that the Cyan Emperor Sect wouldn’t agree to give the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique, but for Shen Wen’an’s mother, this cultivation technique is indeed crucial.

After some thought, he said, “Sect Leader Jiang, don’t be anxious.”

“Let me explain something to you.”

“What Young Friend Shen seeks, the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique, is merely for his mother to cultivate, without any intentions against your sect.”

“Both I and Fellow Daoist Lingshan can guarantee that if the Cyan Emperor Sect hands over the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique to Young Friend Shen, should he ever spread it or have any designs against your sect, the two of us will personally handle it.”

Listening to his words, Jiang Huaqing felt bitter inside.

He understood clearly now that today he must hand over the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique.

As for their guarantee, he didn’t believe in it at all.

With his and the Cyan Emperor Sect’s power, they could hardly make two Golden Core Realm experts swear an oath.

Without an oath, if this young Shen ever spreads it out, given their relationships, would they really intervene?

Thinking of this, Jiang Huaqing was both angry and felt powerless.

Strength is above all.

If only the Cyan Emperor Sect had a single Golden Core Realm expert sitting, the other side would not dare to make such excessive demands so openly!

Now, with the matter reaching this point, the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique is likely to go unprotected, and it seems there’s no favor gained either.

What to do?

Under the gaze of Jiang Xiuqi and Lingshan Sword Immortal, Jiang Huaqing’s thoughts spun rapidly, and suddenly a spark of inspiration struck him.

After some consideration, he showed a face of difficulty and said, “Two esteemed elders, Fellow Daoist Shen.”

“Most cultivators in Danzhou should know that the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique of our sect is a chicken-rib cultivation technique.”

“According to norms, with two elders vouching, I could lend it to Fellow Daoist Shen.”

“But the rules set by our ancestors cannot be broken, and if today I give up this core heritage, how can I face the ancestors of the Cyan Emperor Sect, and how will I explain to our disciples?”

As these words came out, Lingshan Sword Immortal slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes, and Jiang Huaqing’s heart tightened, quickly continuing, “I have thought of a way that satisfies both parties!”

Jiang Xiuqi smiled faintly and said, “What is this way that benefits both? Sect Leader Jiang, why not speak it out for us to see.”

Jiang Huaqing hurriedly cupped his hands looking at Shen Wen’an, “Fellow Daoist Shen said just now, the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique is sought for your mother.”

“Our sect has a rule that the technique cannot be spread outside, so why not let your mother join our sect…”

He spoke while carefully observing the expressions of the three.

Seeing Shen Wen’an slightly furrowed his brows, Jiang Huaqing quickly changed his words, “Fellow Daoist Shen, rest assured, I can accept her as a disciple on behalf of the master!”

“In the future, she will be the highest-ranking disciple of our sect, honoring her status!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiuqi and Lingshan Sword Immortal exchanged a glance, both thinking this approach was pretty good.

“Wen’an, what do you think?”

Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment and said, “It’s a good solution, but my mother won’t stay in the Cyan Emperor Sect to cultivate…”

“That’s fine!”

“Your mother can cultivate wherever she wants!”

Jiang Huaqing agreed immediately, even secretly rejoicing inside.

If she doesn’t cultivate at the Cyan Emperor Sect, the cultivation resources are no longer a burden, isn’t it even better?

Shen Wen’an nodded and said, “In that case, Sect Leader Jiang, please wait, I will go fetch my mother.”

He stood up, cupped his hands, and left, returning shortly with his mother, Hu Yufen, to the cabin.

“Oh Wen’an, your mother is already of an advanced age, why should she join a sect?”

“Don’t cause a stir…”

Hu Yufen was complaining, but upon seeing many outsiders inside the cabin, she stopped speaking and slightly bowed to the others.

“Is this the junior sister now?”

Jiang Huaqing, being prudent, had already wiped away his earlier embarrassment.

Seeing Hu Yufen arrive, he immediately rose with flattery.

Hu Yufen looked at Shen Wen’an somewhat perplexed, not understanding what this “junior sister” meant.

“Mother, this is the Cyan Emperor Sect’s Sect Leader Jiang, who will be your elder brother from now.”

“Please sit, Sect Leader Jiang is about to teach you a cultivation technique.”

“Afterward, you can cultivate well; your father and I won’t bother you anymore.”

Hu Yufen looked puzzled as her son pressed her onto a stool.

Jiang Huaqing came over and cupped his hands, “Junior Sister, forgive my rudeness.”

With that, he pointed his finger to Hu Yufen’s forehead.

As the finger glowed a dense green light, the complete technique of Cyan Emperor Longevity was transmitted to Hu Yufen’s Sea of Consciousness.

Moments later, the transmission ended.

Hu Yufen felt dazed, still not fully recovering.

Jiang Huaqing cupped his hands, “Fellow Daoist Shen, I have already transmitted the cultivation technique to Junior Sister; is there anything else?”

Shen Wen’an performatively cupped his hands and said, “Many thanks, Uncle Master,” bringing a trace of joy to Jiang Huaqing’s heart.

“Do the two elders have any other instructions?”

Jiang Xiuqi looked at Lingshan Sword Immortal, then slightly cupped his hands, “Thank you, Sect Leader Jiang, Zhiyi, please escort Sect Leader Jiang.”

Le Zhiyi nodded, “Sect Leader Jiang, this way please.”

After the two left, Jiang Xiuqi said with a laugh, “That old fellow is indeed resourceful.”

“Accepting disciples on behalf of the master… at least in name they have formed a connection with Shen Family.”

Lingshan Sword Immortal, however, scoffed, “Neither is there a ceremony for apprenticeship, nor an Imperial Decree Talisman; this is merely preserving a bit of facade for himself.”

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Junior Brother Wen’an.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Before you and Chongming return to Yangnao Land, visit Cyan Ruo Sword House once.”

Huang Lingshan said this and then slightly bowed, turning into a beam of sword light as she flew up toward the sky.

Jiang Xiuqi picked up the tea cup in front of him and said firmly, “Do you see?”

“This is the cultivation realm, where strength reigns supreme.”

“Whether it’s the Shen Family or Luoxia Mountain, in the future, if they don’t want to be in a situation as embarrassing as the Cyan Emperor Sect, they can only find every possible means to become stronger.”

“The remaining matters, you all can handle yourselves.”

Saying this, Jiang Xiuqi also took several steps out and disappeared from the cabin.
