Chapter 69 “Dao Canon” [Fourth Update, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket!]
Four eyes met. The Big Ice Block, a stubborn mule, was the first to avert his gaze.
Chu Huaixu didn’t mind and waited for the white-robed steward to give the order.
At this time, the incense stick burning in front of the steward was still Han Shuangjiang’s.
The incense had only been burning for a short while.
He was also somewhat surprised. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a registered disciple break through four stages so easily.”
The middle-aged man had worked in the Scripture Pavilion for many years, and most of the registered disciples who left a deep impression on him would make a name for themselves in the inner sect in the future.
Now, most people, including the white-robed steward, implicitly believed that the opportunity at the bottom of the cold pond was likely taken by this young girl!
But this handsome man in the black robe looked too relaxed.
Yes, Chu Huaixu exuded an indescribable sense of relaxation from head to toe.
He turned to look at the white-robed steward. Seeing him light another incense stick, Chu Huaixu raised his right hand and gently poked forward with two fingers twice.
He was actually poking the first barrier with his hand in a rather comical manner!
And he poked seven or eight times in a row, as if the feel wasn’t bad.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, the smile on his face vanished completely.
“I have a rough idea of the difficulty,” Chu Huaixu said, feeling the resistance from his fingertips.
His brow bones already covered his eyes, and his bone structure was excellent. At this moment, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his eyebrows naturally curved slightly upward.
Chu Huaixu remained in the two-finger-forward posture and then he moved!
He lunged forward, his black robe billowing.
“Swoosh—!” This sound was made four times in rapid succession within a few breaths.
His jet-black long hair whipped backward with his rapid movement. With just a single point forward, he broke through four barriers in one go.
The first floor of the Scripture Pavilion fell into a brief, dead silence.
The registered disciple in the Profound tier area looked like his jaw had dislocated.
The barriers that he couldn’t break through were like paper in front of this man in the black robe.
Only Han Shuangjiang was slightly surprised, and then felt it was only natural.
She now understood why Chu Huaixu had asked her to go first, or she would feel pressured.
“This sly fox actually made such a big scene on purpose!” the Big Ice Block thought furiously, though his face remained cold.
Chu Huaixu slowly lowered his raised fingers, looking incredibly relaxed as he turned to Han Shuangjiang.
Since I told you to wait there for me, I definitely won’t make you wait too long.
The white-robed steward cast a deep glance at his retreating back and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “A Body Refining cultivator?”
As a cultivator in the Third Realm, how could he not see that this young man’s physique was exceptionally strong and rare?
Without Body Refining, it would have been impossible to possess such terrifying strength.
The four barriers set up by the Daoist Sect were as good as nothing in front of him.
“Body Refining?” Discussions erupted for a moment.
The gazes of these senior brothers and sisters towards Chu Huaixu were as if they were looking at an anomaly.
As everyone knew, Body Refining cultivators were at the bottom of the cultivator’s hierarchy.
Those who chose Body Refining were mostly of poor talent, usually with low-grade Spiritual Embryos.
After all, not many people would choose to live a difficult life and engage in self-torture.
Of course, the Daoist Sect’s atmosphere had always been very good; it emphasized destiny and affinity, with talent being secondary.
The main reason people disliked Body Refining cultivators was their character.
Inability to do so, other cultivators had many profound methods of ranged attacks, while Body Refining was crude and vulgar.
Over time, most Body Refining cultivators would develop two bad habits.
The first was being very foul-mouthed, constantly mocking, forcing you to close the distance, and then they could maximize their strength.
The second was a love for sneak attacks. Did they really think we Body Refiners trained our brains into muscles as well? Body Refining cultivators should play close-quarters sneak attacks!
Moreover, once a sneak attack was successful, it was quite deadly.
In summary, Body Refining cultivators were known for their foul mouths and low quality.
—The cultivation world has always disliked this.
Chu Huaixu met the gazes of his senior brothers and sisters, but did not receive the expected thunderous applause. How could he not know what they were thinking?
So, he immediately cupped his hands and emphasized, “Internal and external cultivation! Internal and external cultivation!”
Hmph! Body Refining cultivators, I look down on them too!
When everyone heard that this handsome junior disciple was both internally and externally cultivated, they all showed expressions of relief.
“I didn’t expect him to have such perseverance!”
The belated applause finally sounded. Daoist Sect disciples were always generous with their praise for fellow disciples, and. contempt for outsiders.
Even the registered disciple in the Profound tier area, who had felt a bit ashamed at first, finally offered his congratulations.
In the end, it was the white-robed steward who took charge and said gravely, “Alright, alright, disperse now. Let them calm down and choose their cultivation techniques!”
“Steward Luo is chasing people away again.” Some outer disciples teased, clearly familiar with him.
After Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang exchanged a glance, they began to choose cultivation techniques that caught their eye.
The Daoist Sect had a deep heritage, and since these were only cultivation techniques for the First Realm, there was also a full shelf of Heaven-tier cultivation techniques.
Jade slips were neatly arranged, but trying them out was not allowed.
Next to each jade slip was a small booklet with an introduction to the cultivation technique, and the prologue of the technique was also recorded.
Han Shuangjiang was very patient, reading one booklet after another.
Chu Huaixu stood there browsing aimlessly, but in reality, he was continuously using [Information Probe].
“《Yin-Yang Return to Origin Cultivation Technique》, compatibility 13%.”
“《Profound Thunder Creation Art》, compatibility 27%.”
“《Nine Heavens Wind and Cloud Treasure Record》, compatibility 23%.”
Chu Huaixu knew that he currently had a low-grade Spiritual Embryo, so his compatibility with Heaven-tier cultivation techniques would not be very high. He had long been mentally prepared for this.
Low compatibility meant that more experience points would be spent during future upgrades.
However, it was already difficult to achieve twice the result with half the effort when a low-grade Spiritual Embryo practiced high-level cultivation techniques.
But Chu Huaixu didn’t care. He had plenty of ways to gain experience points, and plenty of ways to improve his Spiritual Embryo Attribute in the future.
All he wanted now was to pick the best among the mediocre.
He had heard of some of the cultivation techniques here, and some he had never heard of.
Every now and then, he would check on Han Shuangjiang’s situation.
The cold-faced girl also secretly glanced at what Chu Huaixu was looking at.
After a while, Chu Huaixu, whose senses had been greatly enhanced, noticed her peeking at him again, so he smiled and said, “I personally recommend this 《True Canon of the Six Imperials》 to you.”
Chu Huaixu remembered clearly that Han Shuangjiang had been revealed by players to be practicing this cultivation technique.
“Why?” the Big Ice Block asked curiously, picking up the booklet next to the jade slip and flipping through it.
“I’m not telling you,” Chu Huaixu said.
Han Shuangjiang glanced at him, too lazy to bother with him, and began to read the introduction in the booklet.
After she finished reading, she was indeed very interested.
However, due to Chu Huaixu’s obnoxious behavior, the cold-faced girl deliberately put the booklet for 《True Canon of the Six Imperials》 back and proceeded to check other cultivation techniques.
Seeing the Big Ice Block act like this, Chu Huaixu smiled inwardly and continued to flip through the booklets while using [Information Probe].
“Whoa! There’s one with 96% compatibility!” Chu Huaixu was shocked.
But soon, his page-turning motion froze, and he even felt reluctant to look at this booklet.
“Damn it, are they trying to make me fall into the same pit twice?”
“With such high compatibility, it’s 100% a Body Refining cultivation technique!” he realized instantly.
He himself, through the tempering of the 《Sword Refining Art》, was almost becoming a Body Refining Saint Body.
As expected, this cultivation technique named 《Ice Muscle Jade Bone Heart Method》 looked effeminate, and the word “Heart Method” in the name actually referred to an ultimate Body Refining divine technique.
“The Daoist Sect lives up to its name. They even have Heaven-tier Body Refining cultivation techniques. Such a lowly cultivation path, you can’t even find a few Heaven-tier cultivation techniques across the entire Profound Yellow Realm,” Chu Huaixu sighed.
He looked at the booklet with some curiosity, and his body stiffened more and more.
“So it wasn’t intentionally named Heart Method; my punctuation was wrong. It should be Ice Muscle Jade Bone Heart · Method. The heart is harder than the bone, right?”
“A sword attack comes, hehe, I have a heart of stone! It can’t pierce it, it can’t pierce it!” He suspected that the senior who created this cultivation technique must have thought he was quite humorous.
Chu Huaixu directly put the booklet back.
—Body Refining? Even dogs wouldn’t practice it.
He continued to look down, vowing not to glance at this 《Ice Muscle Jade Bone Heart Method》 even once more.
“I already have [Clarity of Sword Heart]. Once I get my true sword, I’ll be a dashing and elegant Sword Cultivator.”
“What’s there to be a big muscle man for!”
The first floor of the Scripture Pavilion had neither too many nor too few Heaven-tier cultivation techniques. Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang quickly finished browsing.
“I’ve chosen. What about you?” asked the Big Ice Block.
She had naturally chosen 《True Canon of the Six Imperials》.
“Wait for me for a moment, I’m struggling to decide.” Chu Huaixu frowned inwardly.
He now had three good choices in front of him.
The first was that he would also choose 《True Canon of the Six Imperials》.
Although the compatibility was a meager 26%, he could cultivate the same cultivation technique as Han Shuangjiang.
This mindset was similar to how he had taught the 《Sword Refining Art》 to Xu Ziqing. Chu Huaixu was a cheat, while the other was genuinely cultivating. He could use the other as a reference.
The Big Ice Block had the Profound Yin Physique, and her cultivation progress would be rapid.
Others cultivated their own techniques by groping their way across the river.
If he cultivated 《True Canon of the Six Imperials》, he would be groping his way across the river with Han Shuangjiang.
The other two choices were named 《True Resolution of the Buddha Pagoda》 and 《Dao Canon》.
The former had a rather cool name, while the latter appeared much simpler.
These two Heaven-tier cultivation techniques were the highest in compatibility for Chu Huaixu besides 《Ice Muscle Jade Bone Heart Method》.
Only these two broke through 30%, one at 31% and the other at 33%.
Judging solely by their names and the introductions in the booklets, the vast majority of people would choose the former.
Because the introduction to 《True Resolution of the Buddha Pagoda》 had a full page dedicated to its characteristics.
But 《Dao Canon》 was different. The first page of the booklet only contained two sentences.
The first sentence was an evaluation and description of the cultivation technique, totaling only four words—Neutral and Peaceful.
The focus was on the second sentence.
“This cultivation technique was originally nameless. Because it is the cultivation technique of the Dao Ancestor, it is called 《Dao Canon》.”
