Chapter 85

Once, Li Qiyi's teachings had left even the hall masters and protectors in awe, and the elders were so moved that, in the end, the five great elders personally invited Li Qiyi to teach them.

At this moment, the five great elders had absolute faith in Li Qiyi. In their eyes, Li Qiyi had received the teachings from the founding master and had already mastered the ultimate secrets of the Xianyan Ancient Sect's cultivation techniques.

To the five great elders, Li Qiyi said, "Elders have cultivated for over a thousand years, and your foundations are already set. Unless you start all over again, it's impossible to achieve a great leap. Now, we can only optimize your foundations by correcting the flaws, making minor adjustments. However, as long as you persist, there is still hope for you to reach the level of an ancient sage in the future."

The five great elders had cultivated for too long, and the flaws in their foundations were already set. It was impossible to make major improvements unless they destroyed their foundations and started anew. Li Qiyi could only make minor adjustments for them!

Despite this, the elders were still excited. They thought they had no chance of becoming True Men, let alone ancient sages. Now, Li Qiyi's words gave them hope and motivated them even more.

Moreover, after seeing Li Qiyi's teaching methods, not only the protectors but even the elders were deeply moved. Such teaching methods formed a complete system, which only a master who had immersed himself in teaching for thousands of years could possess. However, now, a fourteen-year-old boy could teach like this, which was truly unbelievable. Was he still a teenager?

In the end, Gu Tieshou and the others attributed this to Li Qiyi receiving guidance in a dream from the founding master, Mingren Immortal Emperor, thus inheriting the supreme Dao of Mingren Immortal Emperor.

However, what Gu Tieshou and the others did not know was that Mingren Immortal Emperor was brought into the path of cultivation by Li Qiyi. Over the ages, Li Qiyi had cultivated countless giants, and he was undoubtedly an unparalleled master.

Another thing that excited Gu Tieshou and the others was that Li Qiyi, guided by his ancestor, Mingren Immortal Emperor, had recovered another incomplete imperial technique, the "Nine Cauldrons Longevity Method." What excited them even more was that after Li Qiyi comprehended the "Daytime Power," he had recovered the Xianyan Ancient Sect's destiny secret technique—the "Daytime Immortal Secret"!

This news left Gu Tieshou and the others in awe, even keeping them awake for a long time. The destiny secret technique was something that would drive countless cultivators and sects mad!

However, the "Nine Cauldrons Longevity Method" and the "Daytime Immortal Secret" became the highest secrets of the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Apart from the five great elders, only Li Qiyi knew about them.

When Li Qiyi's teaching and instruction were on track, and he was about to start his own cultivation, the Great Elder Gu Tieshou came to him, asking him to go to the Triangular Ancient Academy to see something.

Li Qiyi followed the Great Elder Gu Tieshou to the treasure vault of the Triangular Ancient Academy, where the Great Elder led him to a corner and said, "After you mentioned it last time, I specially asked the disciples in charge to reorganize the scriptures, weapons, and treasures in the vaults. Later, a disciple found this thing. It's very heavy, but we can't figure out its use."

In the corner was an ancient stele, pitch black and without any luster. It was covered with intricate patterns. The stele had endured countless years, and it was riddled with pits and dents, not from the erosion of time, but from sword marks and bullet holes...

Li Qiyi, who had lived for millions of years and seen countless treasures, was deeply moved when he carefully examined the ancient stele. He had seen something similar once, though not this particular stele, but something with the same origin.

"Where did this come from?" Li Qiyi finally asked Gu Tieshou.

"I'm not sure," Gu Tieshou shook his head and said, "I remember this ancient stele has always been here, but I can't say where it came from."

"I want this thing," Li Qiyi said finally. The ancient stele had a significant origin, and he needed to study it carefully.

For such a request from Li Qiyi, Gu Tieshou readily agreed. Now, Li Qiyi was the de facto leader of the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Even if the sect's leader, Su Yonghuang, returned, he might not have as much authority as Li Qiyi.

"Is it possible to open the sealed pavilion?" Gu Tieshou asked Li Qiyi as they left the treasure vault.

Today, there were no secrets in the Xianyan Ancient Sect for Li Qiyi. Even the sixth floor of the scripture vault, which the five great elders had agreed he could enter, and the seals on the top three floors, which Gu Tieshou had shown him, were no longer secrets.

"It's hard to say," Li Qiyi, who had seen the seals of the Triangular Ancient Academy, smiled and shook his head, "It's not important. There might be nothing inside. It could be that the ancients sealed it to motivate future generations."

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Tieshou couldn't help but ask.

Li Qiyi smiled and said, "If it were really possible to open the seals, it would require a great sage. Think about it, the top three floors are said to be sealed with Immortal Emperor treasures and other items. How much did the Xianyan Ancient Sect's disciples desire them? The protectors and elders of each generation must have longed to cultivate to the level of a great sage to open the Immortal Emperor's treasure!"

"Thirty thousand years ago, the war was so devastating. If there were still reserves, they would have been used in the war. With the Xianyan Ancient Sect on the brink of destruction, why would they hide anything?" Li Qiyi laughed.

Hearing Li Qiyi's words, Gu Tieshou was stunned for a moment, but upon reflection, he found Li Qiyi's words reasonable. Think about it, the war thirty thousand years ago was so fierce. If there were still spirit medicines and treasures, they would have been used in the war. Nothing was more important than preserving the Xianyan Ancient Sect.

For thirty thousand years, the generations of elders had longed for the Immortal Emperor's treasure, but it was likely just a mirage. Thinking about it, Gu Tieshou couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

After returning to the solitary peak, Li Qiyi received a message from Li Shuangyan, who said, "Our sect's Medicine Master has arrived. When do we start the body ointment?"

Li Shuangyan's sudden mention of this made Li Qiyi, who had been busy reforming the Xianyan Ancient Sect, almost forget about it. He patted the back of his head and said, "I almost forgot about this."

Li Qiyi then instructed Li Shuangyan, "Notify Elder Gu to prepare the herbs. In three days, I will enter the furnace to refine the body ointment."

Without a word, Li Shuangyan did as she was told. The proud princess and talented girl appeared much more obedient and gentle.

Three days later, on the solitary peak, the Great Elder had already prepared all the necessary spirit herbs for Li Qiyi. The Medicine Master from the Nine Holy Demon Sect was also ready to refine the body ointment for Li Qiyi.

To witness this refinement, Elder Sun personally came to observe. As a Medicine Master, this was usually taboo, but the Medicine Master unexpectedly agreed.

The Medicine Master from the Nine Holy Demon Sect was not only an elder but also the most powerful Medicine Master of the Nine Holy Demon Sect. Lunri Demon Emperor's decision to send him to refine the body ointment for Li Qiyi clearly showed how much Lunri Demon Emperor valued Li Qiyi.

"How many times can you refine the body ointment?" Li Qiyi, seeing the Medicine Master, asked without being polite.

The Medicine Master from the Nine Holy Demon Sect was a disheveled old man, but Elder Sun treated him with great respect, almost reverence. In the past, the elders of the Xianyan Ancient Sect had no right to meet the elders of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, let alone invite their most powerful Medicine Master to refine the body ointment.

Elder Sun understood that the Medicine Master's visit to the Xianyan Ancient Sect was entirely due to Li Qiyi's influence.

"Eight times," the Medicine Master said succinctly.

"The Medicine Master is indeed the top Medicine Master of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, reaching the eighth refinement," Elder Sun, also a Medicine Master, was deeply moved, "I can only stabilize at the fifth refinement and have no confidence in the sixth."

The body ointment and longevity medicine have nine refinements. The more times they are refined, the better their essence.

The Medicine Master glanced at Elder Sun and said, "To test a Medicine Master, it's not about the body ointment or longevity medicine, but the life pill! The life pill is the true essence of a Medicine Master."

"That's true," Elder Sun agreed, "If the life pill fails, it's a disaster. A failed pill is a minor issue, but a destroyed furnace is a major disaster. I can manage the third transformation, but the fourth will definitely fail."

The body ointment and longevity medicine have nine refinements, while the life pill has nine transformations. The life pill is different from the body ointment and longevity medicine. If a Medicine Master's skills are insufficient, the body ointment and longevity medicine can still be used, though their effects will be greatly reduced.

However, the life pill is different. If a Medicine Master's skills are insufficient, a single mistake can destroy a whole batch of life pills, and in severe cases, even the furnace can be destroyed.

Therefore, among Medicine Masters, there is a saying: to test a Medicine Master's skills, it's not about the body ointment or longevity medicine, but the life pill.

So, when the Xianyan Ancient Sect had no suitable Medicine Master, Elder Sun, who could only stabilize at the fifth refinement, dared to take on the role of Li Qiyi's Medicine Master, even if the age of the beast marrow for the royal body ointment was insufficient.

Even if his skills were insufficient to compensate for the age of the beast marrow, the body ointment would not be destroyed, nor would the furnace. At worst, the effectiveness of the body ointment would be greatly reduced.

"Eight refinements of the body ointment are enough to compensate for the insufficient age of the hell bull beast marrow. Let's begin," Li Qiyi acknowledged the Medicine Master's skills.

For someone cultivating the Immortal Body Technique, the best choice would be the Immortal Body Ointment and a Medicine Master capable of the ninth refinement. However, given the current situation of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, he had no choice.

In fact, this was already the best condition for the current Xianyan Ancient Sect.
