Lu Qing's current main cultivation technique, 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】, is a body cultivation technique.
The highest level of cultivation is to reach the state of perfect Golden Core.
Even after comprehending the cultivation technique left behind by the white-robed youth, Lu Qing estimated that, according to the division of the white-robed youth's world, it had not yet reached the level of deduce the nine transformations of the Golden Core.
At most, he has only reached the seventh stage of cultivation.
This is also why the Golden Core cultivator who created the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 in the ancient era of cultivation ultimately failed to achieve the Primordial Spirit.
Because he did not develop this technique to a truly perfect state.
Lu Qing even suspected that the so-called death of that Golden Core cultivator was actually a result of his meditation practice.
The reason he perished was because he attempted to break through before perfecting his cultivation technique, which led to his failure to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
Of course, this is just his guess. Those were tens of thousands of years ago, and the truth is long gone.
However, it is a fact that the 【Five Elements Body Refining Technique】 is not perfect.
Moreover, by sheer coincidence, Lu Qing has now condensed a perfect golden core.
It would be inappropriate to continue practicing this technique step by step.
Even simple physical cultivation techniques are no longer suitable for him.
The perfect golden elixir is formless and shapeless, ever-changing, and can be gathered and dispersed at will.
After condensing the Golden Core, Lu Qing's essence, energy, and spirit were all integrated.
Magical power and physical strength can be switched at will without any hindrance.
Whether it's physical cultivation techniques or magical cultivation techniques, they can be used at will.
Now he is both a physical cultivator and a Dharma cultivator.
For him, the boundary between Dharma cultivation and physical cultivation no longer existed.
Or perhaps, he is the most perfect practitioner of both physical and spiritual cultivation.
Therefore, simple methods of cultivating the Dharma and cultivating the body are no longer sufficient to meet his cultivation requirements.
However, Lu Qing was not in a difficult position.
"If there is no suitable cultivation method, then I will create my own unique cultivation method."
A glint of light flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
He possessed the legacy of the Li Huo Sect and had also obtained several otherworldly cultivation techniques from the white-robed youth.
Most importantly, he also possesses a chapter of the Great Dao bestowed by the Heavenly Tribulation Vortex.
Although the Great Dao chapter does not contain specific cultivation methods, every word is precious, fully elucidating the mysteries of the Golden Core realm.
Based on this, and combined with the many cultivation methods he has mastered, with the help of his supernatural abilities, he might very well be able to create a cultivation method that is most suitable for him.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing immediately began cultivating his supernatural abilities.
This time, he didn't cultivate, but instead used his supernatural abilities to gather a large amount of insights into cultivation techniques, which rose up in his mind, combined, and collided with each other.
He began to try to deduce the most suitable cultivation method, one that belonged only to him.
...
"This secret realm actually possesses all five elements?"
Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, in a secret realm, the gray-robed man was immediately surprised upon entering.
The fact that the five elements of spiritual energy are so orderly and mysteriously combined demonstrates the extraordinary nature of this secret realm.
But soon he put the matter aside and began to sense it carefully.
He could sense that his junior brother's aura had not completely dissipated.
This indicates that he did indeed enter this secret realm not long ago, and even cast a powerful spell within it, leaving behind a rather strong aura.
"Did they go on a killing spree here, or did they fight with that mysterious killer?"
Based on his junior brother's personality, the gray-robed man began to make his guesses.
But soon, when he came to a mark and saw the two grotesque mounds of flesh and blood in the huge palm print on the ground, he fell silent.
He immediately realized that his junior brother had been wreaking havoc in this secret realm.
The gray-robed man remained silent for a while before continuing to follow the trail.
Along the way, he saw many traces that were clearly left by his junior brother using magic.
In each of these traces, someone had died on the spot, and in a gruesome manner.
This made the gray-robed man's expression even colder and more somber.
Soon after, the gray-robed man arrived at a high mountain. Looking at the place where spiritual energy had gathered, which had been dug out and was now in ruins, he remained silent.
He could tell that the appearance of this place was not the work of his junior brother.
Given my junior brother's personality, he would have already considered this secret realm as his own, and would never do such a short-sighted and unpleasant thing.
Therefore, it is very likely that someone beat them to it and harvested all the treasures in the area beforehand.
The gray-robed man silently calculated in his mind.
Soon, a scene appeared in his mind.
The junior apprentice arrived at the place with great joy, only to find that the treasure had already been taken away.
Enraged, he began capturing and interrogating the people in the secret realm. He then went on a killing spree, heading out of the secret realm to find the person who had taken the treasure.
"Was it the person who took it beforehand who killed my junior brother?"
The man in the gray robe said softly.
He wasn't sure, but he knew that his junior brother hadn't perished here.
Because there were no signs of a large-scale battle in the secret realm, nor any indication of the junior brother's death.
Unfortunately, perhaps because of his junior brother's rampage, no one dared to linger in this secret realm, making it impossible for him to even interrogate anyone he wanted to find.
Unable to obtain any further information, the gray-robed man did not hesitate and once again transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the entrance of the secret realm.
They soon arrived at the black vortex, plunged into it, and left the secret realm.
Upon exiting the secret realm, the gray-robed man summoned an octagonal magical artifact and unleashed a burst of vital energy upon it.
Then, a broken jade pendant was placed on top as well.
Immediately, under his mental urging, the Bagua-shaped magic weapon began to spin rapidly.
Not long after, it stopped and pointed in a certain direction.
A clear light appeared in the gray-robed man's eyes. Instantly, a thin wisp of smoke appeared in his field of vision, winding its way forward.
"After leaving the secret realm, which way did Junior Brother go?"
The gray-robed man's eyes remained clear and bright as he flew along the deduced causal red line.
But after flying along the red thread of cause and effect for a while, the gray-robed man discovered that his junior brother's route after leaving the secret realm was very irregular.
They were like headless flies, running around aimlessly.
He guessed that his junior brother was probably trying to find the person who took the treasure, which was why he was searching everywhere.
The gray-robed man patiently followed the tangled red threads of cause and effect as he flew.
Along the way, he also sensed that there were creatures hiding in the dense forest below.
However, its strongest aura did not exceed the Innate Realm, so it was ignored and simply followed the red thread of cause and effect.
He had a feeling that he might soon find the place where his junior brother had died.
...
"Finally, we're getting somewhere. As expected, using this Great Dao chapter as a foundation to deduce cultivation methods is the right approach."
After some deduction, Lu Qing smiled.
The Great Dao chapters bestowed by the Heavenly Tribulation Vortex are indeed extremely profound.
With the help of his supernatural abilities, he had already made some progress in his cultivation method in just a short time.
Just as Lu Qing was about to press on and continue his deductions, he suddenly frowned.
At the same time, the gray-robed man in the sky above Jiuli Village also saw the small village below that was shrouded in an array.
