Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 194 - 159 Taisui Food Qi Creates Metamorphosis, Nursing Woman Bird Demon Transmits the Eight Trigrams

"This Pan Si Fairy probably didn’t even want to see me at first, only doing so because of Yunhua and Duobao Yan’s face, feeling that it would be rude not to meet. So she summoned an illusion to hurriedly flash before me, considering that as our meeting. Later, feeling that it was somewhat impolite, she directly helped me obtain the required techniques," Tao Qian’s mind flashed with these thoughts, and he felt that he had glimpsed the fairy’s psychology.

Although he was somewhat surprised to encounter a Devil Immortal with such a disposition, considering that this was the Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate where all are taught, encompassing all under the heavens, it seemed quite reasonable.

"Thank you, Aunt Master, for bestowing the technique!"

Having guessed the disposition of the Pan Si Fairy and with the experience from a previous life, Tao Qian naturally wouldn’t want to further burden someone with social anxiety.

After a bowing gesture of thanks, he directly took those four items and neatly turned around to leave, riding his Evasion Light.

No sooner had he left than within a cave on Red Sleeve Immortal Island, surrounded by billions of silver spider silks, the figure of the female fairy in a ruqun and long sleeves reflected on the smooth cave walls.

She let out a huge sigh of relief, then spoke to herself in a gentle voice,

"He really is a good kid, much more astute than that girl Xie Lingji. I do hope his path in the Dao is smooth."

As her voice faded, a vast mist arose from the sea surface and, in a moment, shrouded the entire Red Sleeve Immortal Island, leaving no trace behind.

Elsewhere, Tao Qian traveled to his Ascending Immortal Island leisurely using the Auspicious Cloud Skill.

At the same time, he used his Divine Thought to glance at the four techniques chosen for him by the Pan Si Fairy according to his needs. They were carried by four markedly different objects: a lustrous Merfolk Pearl, a mottled Buddha Bead, a Multi-Pored Black Stone, and a Bronze Miniature, totaling four items.

After a quick scan, Tao Qian immediately understood the techniques and couldn’t help smiling satisfactorily.

The Magic Skill within the Merfolk Pearl didn’t need much discussion; it was undoubtedly the Quanxian Jellyfish Technique that the mermaid could not stop thinking about. Indeed, it was a Basic Method suitable for the Merfolk Clan’s cultivation. Although the road ahead was dim, stopping at Cavernous Mystery and not able to reach Ultimate Happiness, for the Merfolk Clan, this method was already a Supreme Method and could not be nitpicked.

It is known that most Alien Demon Races are innately endowed with a bloodline power far stronger than that of the Human Clan. Perhaps for this reason, most of the Alien Demon Races are also unable to cultivate these Magic Skills.

There are very few races that can, like the Human Clan, create an expansive sea of cultivation techniques and Divine Skills, all in search of the Great Dao.

Tao Qian understood this principle, therefore, he did not plan to seek such a Great Book Basic Method for Little Age and Lian Jing’er; he only wanted to obtain suitable techniques for Taisui and the Mechanical Species that would unleash their potential.

Achieving this was not easy.

Zhong Doudou was right; if Tao Qian searched the Scripture Hall by himself, it would have taken at least several days, and he might not have achieved the best outcome.

With the Pan Si Fairy’s assistance, it took barely ten breaths.

The two techniques were respectively contained in the Multi-Pored Black Stone and the Bronze Miniature.

[Record Name: Taisui Qi Eating Scripture.]

[Record Type: Alien.]

[Record Description: This technique is said to be created by an ancient Taisui Devil Immortal. Though it appears simple and consists of only three thousand words in the mnemonic, it truly embodies the principle ’Great Dao is Simple.’ It is an orthodox Cultivation Method using blood and flesh as a medium to consume the Qi of heaven and earth. As the quantity increases and changes occur, one acquires Divine Skills and Extraordinary Powers, disregarding all realms, becoming immortal and ancestor.]

[Note 1: To cultivate this method, one must either plant the Taisui Seed within oneself or be a Taisui Hua Sheng; otherwise, cultivating it will certainly lead to a violent death.]

[Note 2: If one who has planted the Taisui Seed cultivates this scripture, many costs will arise during the Dao Path, unpredictable and without set rules, but none can stop you from attaining Dao.]

[Note 3: If a Taisui Hua Sheng cultivates this method, although there are no great costs, it requires an immense amount of blood and Essence Qi. If cultivated deeply, one may attain Dao or mutate into Blood and Flesh Demons.]

[Record Name: Creation Puppet Technique.]

[Record Type: Alien.]

[Record Description: This technique is rumored to have been created by an ancient Qi Refining cultivator. Even simpler, consisting only of eight hundred words mnemonic, its fundamental principle is ’Creation and Transformation Perfection.’ By maintaining one’s original heart and remaining unchanged for eternity, one seizes the essence of all things in heaven and earth to supplement oneself in pursuit of great transformation and Great Perfection. Supernatural powers and mana naturally follow, continually evolving and transforming.]

[Note 1: This method seems not appropriate for the Human Clan to cultivate; over the years, many talented cultivators attempted but either died violently or Mutated into Puppet Soldiers.]

[Note 2: If mechanicals, Magical Treasures, or Alien Species with a developed spirit enter the Dao, they can cultivate this method, but none of these last long, and none are known to have achieved Dao through this.]

[Note 3: Because this has caused many Human Clan Cultivators to die violently or mutate over thousands of years, it has always been denounced as an Evil Technique until the Gongyang Ancestor, the Second Generation Ancestor of Spirit Treasure Sect, commented that this method could lead to the Great Dao, and so it was included in the Scripture Hall.]

Looking at these records in his mind, Tao Qian immediately had a premonition.

These two methods were exceptionally suitable for the two little ones.

They seemed to be simple and specialized techniques, useless for Human Clan Cultivators, but for Little Age and Lian Jing’er, these two Alien Species, they were almost tailor-made.

"It is no wonder this is the Spirit Treasure Sect; if this were another Sect, even the Taishang Dao, it would probably be impossible to precisely find such two appropriate techniques," Tao Qian thought as he approached Ascending Immortal Island once more.

Yet before he touched down, he saw all the Merfolk squatting on the rugged reefs below the Coastal Cliff Pavilion.

Naturally, the mermaid was on the highest reef.

With her deep blue mermaid eyes, she watched intently for her beau’s return.

Upon seeing Tao Qian approaching on the auspicious cloud, all the Merfolk immediately looked at him with joy and anticipation, their eyes filled with the desire to seek the ways of cultivation and Longevity.

At this sight, Tao Qian murmured in his heart, "If I were to say right now that I couldn’t find that technique, would I immediately make these hundreds of Merfolk cry, thus witnessing the spectacular sight of a bead curtain splashing like a waterfall?"

Fortunately, Tao Qian did not have such bad humor.

As the Auspicious Cloud approached Ascending Immortal Island, Tao Qian gave the Mermaid a smiling nod.

Without a word, the confirmation they received from him caused the hundreds of Merfolk perched on the rocks to leap up joyfully, each with a bright and joyous smile. Soon after, one could hear song after song that involuntarily filled one with happiness and joy echoing around the Coastal Cliff Pavilion area.

Especially after Tao Qian flicked the crystal clear Merfolk Pearl that recorded the "Quanxian Jellyfish Technique" towards the Mermaid, and after she inspected it, she emitted a scream filled with wild ecstasy.

Tao Qian saw once again the strange scene from the previous night, the difference being that this time the Merfolk were crying tears of joy.

Even better-quality Merfolk Pearls of all sizes began to fall.

In a short while, that reef area surged once again with brilliance.

As her clan wept, the Mermaid then knelt before Tao Qian and spat out another dazzlingly bright Merfolk Pearl.

Holding the pearl out to Tao Qian, she said with a trembling voice, "Please, master, imprint your Divine Thought, from today onward, my clan will follow the master’s cultivation forever, even unto death without regret."

Seeing her in this state, Tao Qian knew that if he did not imprint the mark, this transaction likely would not continue.

The Merfolk Clan, kind-hearted and unyielding.

Tao Qian saw this clearly in the Mermaid.

And so, after some thought, he did not refuse; a Divine Thought imprinted, and immediately a master-servant relationship was established.

Tao Qian saw the Merfolk Clan had entered a celebratory atmosphere and couldn’t help but smile, without disturbing them, he directly descended into the main hall of the Sea Pavilion.

Just as the Auspicious Cloud dispersed beneath his feet, Tao Qian saw Zhong Doudou leading a few youngsters to greet him.

He planned to distribute the techniques he had acquired on his trip to the youngsters, Little Age and Lian Jing’er.

Suddenly, Tao Qian’s gaze fell upon Zhong Doudou’s face.

This Crystal Demon Girl clearly couldn’t keep any worries hidden; it was all written on her face.

At this moment, her delicate face was filled with worry.

"What’s happened?"

Tao Qian directly asked.

Zhong Doudou, without any hesitation, and with a look of panic on her face, then said:

"When Young Master returned, did he happen to see a group of shameless Female Demons? They have a woman’s upper body, but the lower body of a bird. With their breasts exposed and eyes like fresh blood, they utter ’gugu gugu’ sounds when flying."

"Oh, there are such Female Demons? Rushing back from Red Sleeve Immortal Island, I indeed did not see them."

"What about them? Do they have a grudge against you?"

Tao Qian seemed intrigued, and turned the question back to her.

Seeing that he was not flustered, Zhong Doudou stomped her feet and quickly continued:

"In the Penglai Sea of Spirit Treasure Sect Mountain Gate, not only our Crystal Demon Clan but also the flirtatious foxes dislike this group of shameless ones."

"They are called ’Nursing Woman Birds,’ an ancient Alien Species that now only persists and breeds within our Spirit Treasure Sect’s Penglai Sea."

"Although they are rare, they are also extremely annoying. They run rampant within the Mountain Gate due to their ancestral lineage to a Daoist couple of some Second Generation Ancestor, poking around the islands, and after glimpsing secrets, they gossip everywhere. So, we call them big-mouthed Bird Demons behind their backs."

"Even though they love to spread gossips and secrets, they refrain from speaking of private matters, so no one can do anything about them. Over time, people even seek them out to get information."

"Just now, that stink of Bird Demons passed through Ascending Immortal Island. Noticing Young Master’s predicament, they deliberately asked why Young Master, having obtained this Immortal Island, does not dwell in Yunhua Mountain’s Spiritual Resonance Cave but instead stays in this Cliff Sea Pavilion, suffering wind and rain."

"Before I could retort, they all flew away laughing uproariously."

"If nothing unusual happens, by this time, they have probably spread Young Master’s situation throughout the entire Penglai Sea."

"The senior True Masters of our Lingbao, out of respect for Master and Aunt Yunhua, surely would not do much, but those of the same generation as Young Master and those many much younger Lingbao Disciples will be envious. They will belittle Young Master behind his back, speaking sarcastically."

"One of these days, this girl will gather my sisters and find their bird nests to give them a proper lesson."

Zhong Doudou finished speaking in a rushed tone.

Tao Qian, having listened, still showed no panic on his face, but instead seemed genuinely interested, and with a smile, he said:

"Nursing Woman Bird?"

"What a unique name and special nature. I have learned something new."

"If I could summon one, I could also inquire about the many gossips and secrets within Spirit Treasure Mountain."

No sooner had Tao Qian uttered these words than he seemed to perceive something and suddenly turned around.

Almost instantly, cutting through the sea storm, about a dozen streaks of light shot from different directions.

In no time at all, they all entered the main hall, stopping in front of Tao Qian, and turned out to be three Cloud Token Letters.

"Hmm?"

With a sound of surprise and before Tao Qian’s Divine Thought could sweep over them, he saw three figures leap from the Cloud Tokens.
