Chapter Seventeen: The Primordial Spirit Treasure Record

  "You damned beasts, I, Gong Sun Tu, will not let you off, wash your necks clean and wait for the slaughter! I'll be back!" A golden light flashed towards the floating black air, Xiao Jin made a fierce grab at the black air, and a black object fell from it. Gong Sun Tu suddenly shouted in anger.

  "Xiao Jin, well done! Catch that guy and don't let him get away!" Xiao Jin's attack was able to harm the dark energy, and Sun Tuo couldn't help but cheer. In his hand, he unconsciously held another sword symbol, ready to respond to any unexpected situation that might arise at any moment.

  "Wait for me, kid. Gong Sun Tu will come back to find you." The black air transformed by Gong Sun Tu saw Xiao Jin coming towards him again, and suddenly let out a curse. The ball of black air brought up a whirlwind and disappeared into the ground.

  "He's gone, that guy has escaped. What kind of evil thing is this, it can actually turn into black air and escape? Is it possessed by a demon?" Sun Tao released his divine sense, sensed the surroundings for a moment, and at this time, there was no shadow of that black air left. Sun Tao was certain that Gong Sun Tu had escaped, and he couldn't help but frown.

  Gongsun Zhi was indeed injured, and it was a very deadly injury. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dissipated his body and escaped by abandoning his physical form. Sun Tao missed the opportunity to kill Gongsun Zhi this time. Even if Sun Tao had been prepared, he might not have been able to kill him with his cunning methods. With his dantian destroyed and no true yuan in his body, even if he had heavenly defying methods, he wouldn't be able to use them.

  "Squeak..."

  Sun Tao stared at the place where Gong Sun Chu disappeared, his face thoughtful. The little monkey Xiao Jin grabbed a small black leather bag and chattered strangely towards Sun Tao.

  "This is the pouch, it's the pouch that was grabbed from Gong Sun Zuo's body." Sun Tiao took over the small black leather bag handed over by Xiao Jin, and said with some surprise. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he actually managed to grab the pouch from Gong Sun Zuo's body, this is truly an unexpected delight!

  Clutching the storage bag in his hand, Sun Tao's previous depression was gone. He had provoked such a strong enemy for nothing and gained no benefits, but still had to be on guard against Gong Sun Zuo's revenge. Now he had obtained the opponent's storage bag, this time it wasn't a wasted trip after all. The only thing was that he didn't know what good things were inside the storage bag.

  Sun Tuo suppressed the joy in his heart, this Gong Sun Tu attaches so much importance to this storage bag, even if he leaves, he must bring it with him. It's likely that there are many good things inside. This place is not easy to stay for a long time, and I don't know if Gong Sun Tu will hide in the dark and harm him. Sun Tuo took the storage bag and headed towards He Shui Jun.

  The Heishui County, the closest county to Yunlai Mountain, was a place Sun Tao had visited with his parents before. However, unlike the memory of being carried by his parents on a flying sword, swift and invisible, this time he walked all the way to Heishui County on foot. The hardships along the way were inevitable, and it took some time to get there. When Sun Tao arrived at Heishui County, the sun had set behind the mountains, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars that covered the earth with a layer of mysterious veil.

  The Heishui County is the largest county town within a hundred miles, very lively and prosperous. When night falls, the wide streets of Heishui County are hung with big red lanterns, and at night, the stars are dotted, dyeing Heishui County like daylight, crowded with people, bustling, very lively.

  Sun Tuo entered the river water county, and didn't rush to understand the local customs. Instead, he found a wine house, ordered a table of sumptuous dinner, and had been eating Liegu Dan for several days. Sun Tuo's mouth was almost numb from it. After having a big meal in the wine house, Sun Tuo got drunk and full, then opened a room at the Hongtu Inn to stay overnight.

  "What could be inside this storage bag? I hope it won't disappoint me too much." Sun Tuo casually closed the door, instructing the shopkeeper not to disturb him unless necessary, and took out the storage bag tied around his waist, muttering to himself.

  As soon as Sun Tao's muttering stopped, a drop of essence blood fell onto the storage bag in his hand. Then, Sun Tao had an inexplicable connection with the storage bag in his hand. His divine sense entered the storage bag, and one by one, the items flew out under Sun Tao's control to land on the Eight Immortals table in the room.

  "This guy was also a poor devil, only having a few dozen low-grade spirit stones, a pile of useless junk." Looking at the spirit stones and a stack of blank talismans that suddenly appeared on the table, as well as some scattered medicinal materials, Sun Tao couldn't help but frown.

  Actually, Sun Tuo overestimated the cultivators in this world. Gong Sun Tu is not a sect cultivator, but just a lone cultivator. He doesn't have any family heirlooms or even the lowest level of magical instruments on him. If Gong Sun Tu was wealthy and had many worldly officials at his disposal, it would be impossible for Sun Tuo, a waste who has lost his cultivation, to defeat him easily, and he would have no choice but to abandon his physical body and escape!

  In the Xianxia world, a loose immortal without background is extremely difficult to move forward. Cultivation, alchemy, and talismans all require spiritual stones. Unlike sect disciples who occupy spiritual mountains and rivers, owning their own spiritual stone veins and receiving welfare benefits on a regular basis. Loose cultivators are the poorest of all, let alone expecting to get anything good from Gong Sun Tu.

  The poorest cultivator, once they enter the secular world, becomes one of the wealthiest. Some aged medicinal herbs can be sold at a pharmacy for enough wealth to last them a lifetime of luxury and prosperity. At this moment, Sun Tao cannot cultivate; even the spirit stones used by cultivators are useless to him, and the heavenly treasures and elixirs that increase cultivation are also useless - they're not as useful as secular wealth.

  Sun Tuo didn't show much disappointment and continued to concentrate his mind, taking out the items in his storage bag one by one.

  "Huh? What is this jade slip recording? It's actually worth storing in a jade box." One by one, the items were taken out of Sun Tao's storage bag, but most of them were useless things. Sun Tao didn't examine them closely and directly put them into his own storage bag. Suddenly, a jade box with a milky white glow caught Sun Tao's attention. This jade box was the last item in the storage bag. Sun Tao opened this seemingly precious jade box, and a slightly worn-out, yellowish jade slip appeared before his eyes. Sun Tao couldn't help but exclaim lightly.

  "'Yuanshen Baolu', what kind of kung fu is this, the Yuanshen Baolu for cultivating the primordial spirit?" Sun Tao's divine thought infused into that old jade slip, a piece of information floated in front of Sun Tao's mind, it was a mantra for cultivating the primordial spirit, and suddenly he couldn't help but.

  "Divine thought, the product of human cognitive birth. Spirit, with capacity is great, cognitive sea contains heaven and earth. Dan Tian, the foundation of cultivation, sea, infinitely vast, field, a corner of land. Yuan Shen Bao Lu, cultivates the cognitive sea, cognitive sea has infinite breadth, with endless plasticity..."

  "This Yuanshen Treasure Record cultivates the Sea of Consciousness, opening up the Sea of Consciousness and cultivating it as if it were a Dan Tian. Isn't this cultivation method suitable for a cultivator like me whose Dan Tian has been destroyed?"

  The cultivation method of the Yuanshen Treasure Record was imprinted in Sun Tao's mind, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. This Yuanshen Treasure Record was an unknown cultivation technique that cultivated the Primordial Spirit, strengthening one's soul with the power of the Primordial Spirit on the right path.

  When cultivation is successful, it doesn't rely on the true yuan energy within the body; instead, it directly utilizes the power of the Primordial Spirit to control swords and fly. It's extremely mysterious."

  Yuanshen Treasure Record, cultivates Yuanshen, and Sun Tao's cultivation of the Summoning West Travel Treasure Classic has a similar artistic conception.

  What is different is that Yuanshen Baolu is a cultivation method, which can glimpse the great way of longevity. The only difference is that cultivating Yuanshen Baolu cultivates the sea of consciousness, the most virtual and ethereal existence.

  Whether he can successfully cultivate is still an unknown number. So far, Sun Tuo has not heard of any sect's cultivator cultivating the Yuanshen Treasure Record. This makes Sun Tuo somewhat hesitant.

  "Can't fight without relying on the law, isn't this Yuanshen Treasure Record tailor-made for me?" The destruction of his dantian made it impossible for Sun Tao to cultivate the law and condense the golden elixir in his body to achieve the great way of the golden elixir. According to the records of the Jade Classic, the cultivation method of the Yuanshen Treasure Record is similar to that of the dantian, but this Yuanshen Treasure Record contains several attacking techniques that use the power of the primordial spirit in the sea of consciousness. Sun Tao looked at the yellowed and worn-out jade slip in his hand, feeling a bit uncertain about the way forward. Logically speaking, this Yuanshen Treasure Record should be the most suitable technique for him to cultivate at this moment.

  "Whatever, I'm a useless piece of trash who can't cultivate and condense the Golden Elixir in my dantian. Is there anything worse than this? Cultivating the Yuanshen Treasure Record will at least give me some self-preservation abilities, so even if I fail to cultivate it, I won't be at a loss." Sun Tao looked at the Yuanshen Treasure Record in his hand, gritted his teeth, and prepared to cultivate it. He was already a useless piece of trash who couldn't cultivate; what's worse than that? Even if this Yuanshen Treasure Record is fake and he fails to cultivate it, Sun Tao won't be at a loss.

  Cultivating the Original Spirit Treasure, requires a lot of time every day to temper the spiritual consciousness, open up the sea of consciousness, and make the sea of consciousness vast and boundless. There are many ways to temper the spiritual consciousness, initially it is to sense the spiritual consciousness, understand the spiritual consciousness, and the spiritual consciousness is an extension of the spiritual power. A strong spiritual consciousness has many benefits, especially when facing enemies, it can predict the enemy's moves, anticipate potential dangers.

  To cultivate the Yuanshen Treasure Record, there is no extra time to cultivate the dantian. This is why the Yuanshen Treasure Record is not well-known. Without a foundation-building period, cultivators in the Qi-refining stage can live for at most 100-200 years. Those who have completed the foundation-building period can live for 300-400 years. Golden Elixir cultivators can live for 500-800 years. True Kings in the Yuanying stage can live for 1,500-2,000 years. Cultivating the Yuanshen Treasure Record requires starting from the beginning, and progress is slow at first. If one cannot transform their Yuanshen into a sword, they will have little combat power. Only when the Yuanshen Treasure Record is cultivated to the point of materialization can it provide some self-defense capabilities. Otherwise, it's only slightly stronger than ordinary people, which is not enough to contend with others. This is why the Yuanshen Treasure Record is not well-known in the cultivation world, and only a few ancient sects have records of it.
