65: Sixth-grade Qi Gathering Method: Mortal Vision
In the original body's memories, he had affairs with several princesses, including the more mediocre ones, such as the Third Princess who liked to play with whips.
But there were also those with exceptional talent, considered the core of this generation, such as the Twelfth Princess.
The Twelfth Princess, over ninety years old, had successfully gathered Immortal Qi and established her Immortal Foundation, already in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and could reach Core Formation at any time.
Old Potato's eyes darted, glancing at his lower body.
The Medicinal Pill he took during his bath earlier was truly potent; he still had the energy for another round.
The Third Princess was very tired and quickly fell asleep in the environment of the Spirit Gathering Array.
More eunuchs and palace maids came in to attend to her, urging Old Potato to leave quickly.
Although he was thinking of finding the Twelfth Princess, considering the need to maintain his original identity, Old Potato was not in a hurry and waited for an opportunity.
He originally thought he would have to wait at least a day, but as soon as he returned to his small room, he heard a eunuch whisper:
“Lord Su, the Twelfth Princess requests your presence.”
Goodness, this male consort position really wasn't for just anyone; he was being used as a stud.
Old Potato could only follow the eunuchs, along a small path, quietly heading towards the Twelfth Princess's bedchamber.
As expected of a Foundation Establishment expert, the bedchamber was surrounded by a grand array that integrated concealment, breath-hiding, defense, and Spirit Gathering. Old Potato's spiritual power surged in his eyes, and he could only see a golden expanse covering a small palace complex, incredibly magnificent and beautiful.
After the eunuch announced him, a small corner of the grand array opened, allowing Old Potato to enter.
As soon as he entered, Old Potato quickly reviewed the received memories to avoid revealing anything.
A small river shimmered with spiritual light, winding through, and ten-meter-long fish occasionally leaped from the river, splashing water that, instead of falling, slowly converged towards the depths of the palace.
Through memory comparison, this was a small river filled with Spiritual Qi, where Spirit Beast fish were raised. When the fish leaped, they would refine the river water, and each drop of water was like a medicinal herb, guided by the surrounding grand array and sent deeper.
Old Potato also saw a stone pavilion nearby, with a magic array inscribed in its center, where Spiritual Qi gathered even faster than elsewhere.
It turned out that this was a combination of multiple overlapping Spirit Gathering Arrays, also equipped with special Talismans and treasures. Cultivating here was like advancing a thousand miles in a day.
Everything here, compared to the outer sect of Duan Kong Cave where Midnight Gao Sou resided, was simply heaven and earth apart, not on the same level at all.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi flowing around was probably even higher than that in Midnight Gao Sou's cultivation stone chamber. The eunuchs and palace maids here could normally live in such abundant conditions, and not a single one was a Mortal; all were Qi Refining Cultivators.
He wanted to continue looking around, but then he saw a burly man walk out from the depths of the palace.
Although the man was wearing armor, it was somewhat disheveled, as if he had just put it on, and one could even see the slightly messy silk underneath, as well as a woman's lipstick mark.
This was the Fourth Prince of the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, whose talent was limited, merely at the Qi Refining stage.
Seeing Old Potato approach, he nodded: “Go in, don't keep my sister waiting.”
Without time to lament the chaotic imperial family relations, Old Potato had already stepped into the bedchamber.
The Twelfth Princess's bedchamber layout was simple, with no clutter, only a ten-meter-wide large bed with sheer silk drapes.
The Twelfth Princess lay naked on her side on the bed.
Although she was a woman over ninety years old, Cultivators have long Lifespans, and her appearance had barely changed from when she was young.
The Twelfth Princess looked like a young girl in her prime, pure and elegant, yet every gesture and smile exuded the charm of a mature woman.
One hand caressed her thigh, while the other beckoned to Old Potato.
Old Potato got onto the bed.
Ten rounds.
Lying on the bed, Old Potato inquired about the Qi Gathering Method.
The Twelfth Princess chuckled: “Why are you suddenly interested in this? Did my sister pass on the Golden Edge Emperor Qi Art to you, giving you ideas?”
Old Potato was startled, but quickly realized that the Twelfth Princess's tone was not accusatory but playful.
“Although the Golden Edge Emperor Qi Art is our imperial family's Cultivation Technique, over the years, who knows how many people have received this Cultivation Technique as a reward, and even some Loose Cultivators are using our Cultivation Technique to Cultivate.”
The Twelfth Princess shook her head: “But they don't know that this Cultivation Technique must absorb national destiny to advance, otherwise one will be stuck at Foundation Establishment for life. And this national destiny can only be gathered by our imperial family.”
Old Potato was completely dumbfounded.
What did it mean to absorb national destiny?
He discovered a very important problem.
When playing this game before, everyone just got the Cultivation Technique and Cultivated mindlessly, like Gao Sou, who even found a cave to seclude himself for ten years.
Anyway, Cultivation was nothing more than accumulating time, constantly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
But now he found that perhaps the method of simply absorbing the world's Spiritual Qi was the lowest, most useless Cultivation method?
To become stronger, to go further, one had to encounter concepts never heard of before.
Cultivation Technique practice was no longer just simple closed-door meditation but required many auxiliary means.
These auxiliary means were not just Medicinal Pills, nor just Spirit Gathering Arrays, but even included the special nature of the Cultivation Technique itself.
“If you want the Qi Gathering Method, I can teach it to you too.”
The Twelfth Princess embraced Old Potato, laughing heartily: “Anyway, you can't leave the imperial palace, and you've already made a Dao Heart oath, so you can't reveal it.”
Old Potato was immediately overjoyed.
He knew about this Dao Heart oath from the original body's memories; if an imperial secret was revealed, one's Dao Heart would shatter, preventing any further advancement, and in severe cases, even leading to direct death.
Although Old Potato still didn't understand what this Dao Heart was exactly.
But, the original body swore by his own Dao Heart; what did that have to do with Old Potato, who had transmigrated his Soul?
Old Potato didn't know yet that he had inadvertently exploited a loophole: the Dao Heart oath restricted the Soul, not the physical body, and his Soul transmigration happened to bypass it.
“Listen carefully, what I'm passing on to you is the sixth-grade Qi Gathering Method [Mortal Vision]. This method can extract the visions in Mortals' hearts and refine them into Immortal Qi · Mortal Vision, using this Immortal Qi to establish an Immortal Foundation, which helps stabilize the Dao Heart and fear no Heart Demon. Don't underestimate its grade; its effect is top-notch, and even many Immortal Sects are willing to pay a price to trade this method with our imperial family.”
The Twelfth Princess's face showed pride as she boasted for a bit, then passed on the entire Cultivation Technique and its key points to Old Potato.
Without a Jade Slip for transmission, just the Cultivation Technique itself would require Old Potato to Cultivate for a long time, and if his talent was poor, he might never even get started in his lifetime.
Furthermore, with his male consort identity, this Qi Gathering Method was useless to him because he couldn't leave the Imperial City, and the imperial family wouldn't allow him to gather Immortal Qi and establish an Immortal Foundation.
But Old Potato's heart was filled with wild joy.
Because he never intended to Cultivate it himself; he planned to exchange it for a million chinese yuan!
After another period of intimacy with the Twelfth Princess, until late at night, Old Potato finally returned to his male consort's small room.
“This male consort identity is really useful; a sixth-grade Cultivation Technique, a sixth-grade Qi Gathering Method, two princesses just gave them to me. Who knows what else I can ask from them in the future!”
Old Potato sighed, remarking on how different people's destinies were.
Some are born in Rome, others are born as workhorses.
And some are amazing; they are the workhorses of a Roman princess.
Old Potato logged into the forum and, seeing that no one had snatched the trade, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent a private message:
【I have a Cultivation Technique, how do I trade?】
