Chapter 9: Taasu, This Person

Upon hearing the four words "Jindan Dadao" (Golden Core Great Path), Ye Feng was shocked, but at the same time, he also had doubts in his heart.

Who doesn't know about the Golden Core Great Path?

Isn't it just about forming a golden core and becoming a yuan infant?

These days, there are countless cultivation novels, and the Golden Core Great Path is no longer rare. If a simple golden core formation doesn't have some new twists, readers will surely leave with a flick of their hips.

Ye Feng felt that Taasu might be hiding the good stuff and not letting him learn, secretly despising him and feeling that he might be in for a tragedy.

As if knowing what Ye Feng was thinking, Taasu chuckled and teased,

"Are you feeling that the Golden Core Great Path is too ordinary? Not as powerful as in the novels? Hahaha—You still have the perspective of an ordinary person. In the past, I also collected those cultivation novels. Let me tell you, the early cultivation novels were all about the Golden Core Great Path because it is the true Daoist cultivation method. However, due to market needs and the need for novelty in novels, various innovative Daoist cultivation methods were created. Actually, those are all nonsense. True cultivation is not at all like what is written in today's novels."

Ye Feng was drenched in sweat. Novels? Market? Nonsense? When did Taasu start talking so fashionably, and it seemed to be just a recent change.

Ye Feng was instantly stunned.

No, he could hear his own thoughts. Realizing this possibility, Ye Feng was startled and worried, thinking, "Won't I have no secrets at all in the future?!"

"Your secrets mean nothing to me," Taasu sneered. "I am in your brain, connected to your thoughts, so I can hear everything you think. And, this also makes it easier for us to communicate mentally. Understand?"

"Understood. But, why is your tone so different now?" Ye Feng was helpless, thinking, "It's just that you can hear what I'm thinking, no big deal." Ye Feng quickly came to terms with it.

"From the moment you knew my name, you truly became my successor, so I can become more human-like," Taasu explained to Ye Feng.

"Successor? What am I inheriting from you?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.

"Hehe, you'll know in the future," Taasu seemed unwilling to let Ye Feng know too much too soon, chuckling and passing over it. After a while, "I won't nag you, you're so annoying. I'll ask one last question: Do you really want to cultivate?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll die if I don't form a golden core. If you don't let me, I'll be angry with you!" Ye Feng hurriedly said, fearing that if he angered Taasu, Taasu might suddenly disappear, leaving him in a complete tragedy.

"Cough, cough, but before you cultivate, I have to warn you. Cultivating the Golden Core Great Path is the most difficult. As the saying goes: cultivators are as numerous as cow hairs, but those who achieve the Dao are as rare as unicorn horns. Only those with great determination, great wisdom, and great luck, who are recognized by the Dao, can cultivate the Golden Core Great Path. It's uncertain if even one person can succeed in thousands of years. So, are you still sure you want to cultivate? Hehe." Taasu fully displayed his cunning side, first tempting Ye Feng to cultivate the Golden Core Great Path, then saying it's extremely difficult, leaving Ye Feng in suspense.

So difficult?

Ye Feng was startled, but then he thought, "It's only natural that it's so difficult. If it were easy, wouldn't there be cultivators everywhere?"

No wonder these days, people don't even know if cultivation exists.

With so few people succeeding, a normal person wouldn't believe in those mystical things.

Hmm?

At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly remembered the conversation with the old man in the hospital, understanding the real situation of cultivators. He asked, with a hint of hope, "Right, Taasu, after cultivating the Golden Core Great Path, can one have the ability to fly and travel through the earth?"

"If you can truly succeed, not only can you fly and travel through the earth, but you can also move mountains and seas, and achieve immortality. Various abilities will appear as your cultivation improves." Taasu, perhaps knowing the importance of this question, became serious and solemnly told Ye Feng.

Really? Is it really true? Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me? Ye Feng kept shouting in his heart.

"Of course, do I have any reason to lie to you? Tsk, it's just flying and traveling through the earth! What's so surprising about it." Taasu despised Ye Feng.

Hearing Taasu's words, Ye Feng was thoroughly shocked.

So, all of this is true. Then, I, my long-held wish, can finally be realized.

Thinking that his dream might come true, Ye Feng was so excited that he couldn't control himself. If he were outside his consciousness space, he would have shouted to the sky, "F*ck, I can finally cultivate!"

But now, he could only shout in his heart.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be too happy yet. Whether you can succeed is still a question. Why are you so excited? We'll see when you succeed." Taasu suddenly poured cold water on Ye Feng, making him feel extremely cold.

Ye Feng's ecstatic expression froze, if he could still see his body.

Taasu's words made Ye Feng fall into deep thought, thinking: Yes, if I can't succeed, everything is empty. This supreme Dao method is definitely the most difficult. What makes me think I can succeed? Would it be easier to cultivate other methods, or... Ye Feng couldn't help but hesitate.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Ye Feng slowly calmed down, and gradually, only one thought remained in his heart.

Such a good opportunity is right in front of me, how can I give up just because of some difficulties!

Think about it, now the beauties are all undressed and lying in bed, just waiting for my nod to push them. If I hesitate any longer, wouldn't I be worse than a beast? At this moment, Ye Feng couldn't help but raise a perverted example in his heart to convince himself.

Suddenly, Ye Feng's consciousness radiated an unprecedented firm light.

"I will cultivate the Golden Core Great Path!! I have confidence that I can succeed." Ye Feng said in his heart, word by word.

"Good, good, having this confidence is great. However, to cultivate the Golden Core Great Path, or to cultivate Dao, you must start with refining yourself. Refining yourself includes refining the mind and the body. Refining the mind means maintaining your true self. You were very true to yourself just now, so I think your mind refinement is already quite good."

Just now?

True self?

Beast?

Ye Feng was a bit frustrated, feeling like he was being lectured by a pure and innocent girl, wondering why he didn't push her earlier.

What a sweat!

Before Ye Feng could sigh, Taasu continued, "Refining yourself is the initial stage of transforming essence into energy, also called entering the state of emptiness. From now on, you must follow what I say, without any doubt or hesitation. Remember, you must follow every word I say."

Taasu's tone still showed no fluctuation, but Ye Feng could sense a slight difference, so he nodded solemnly.

"The method of cultivation requires effort in meditation. When meditating, you must focus your mind and regulate your breathing, maintaining a calm and composed state, without forcing or forgetting. This means learning to regulate your breathing and enter the state of emptiness during meditation. The best way to stop random thoughts is to think of nothing, just focus on the idea of cultivating and improving. This should be the best way for ordinary people to concentrate their thoughts.

However, before that, I have to ask you, 'Do you know the true breathing method of cultivators?'"

Ye Feng was very puzzled and asked, "I know that breathing is important for cultivation. Is ordinary breathing different from the breathing of cultivators?"

Before Taasu could answer, suddenly,

"Whoosh—"

Hmm? Why do I feel so cold? Is this... water?

Ye Feng woke up!

It turned out that the lying Ye Feng was suddenly drenched by a bucket of cold water, turning him into a wet chicken!
