As the words fell, Master Ti Yun was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Ji finally realized that Master Ti Yun was actually the master of the Taoist who was beheaded yesterday.
"His disciple has reached the Fourth Realm, then what about his master?" Lin Ji was shocked.
Even though Master Xing Chi was a great master, Lin Ji could still discern some clues about a cultivator, even if he couldn't fully understand their depth. But Master Ti Yun had completely deceived Lin Ji. This meant that Master Ti Yun's cultivation might be even higher than Master Xing Chi's.
If it weren't for the scene where he offered wine, Lin Ji would have truly taken him for an ordinary person.
Lin Ji had never seen a cultivator of high realm make a move, so he couldn't determine the true strength of Master Ti Yun. All he knew was that he was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
Picking up the ancient book on the table, ignoring the worm-eaten cover and the stains from the table, Lin Ji noticed a fragrance of braised pork and the sourness of vinegar emanating from the book.
"This person is really careless."
After wiping the back of the ancient book, the last page fell off.
Fortunately, there was nothing written on the last page.
Lin Ji became even more cautious.
"The Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique?" Barely recognizing the large characters on the cover, Lin Ji opened the ancient book and quickly flipped through it.
Soon, his breathing became slightly rapid.
"It's actually a profound technique of cultivating the primordial spirit? Did Master Ti Yun have such a broad vision?"
Lin Ji quickly returned to his room and carefully read through the ancient book again.
Closing the book, he let out a sigh of relief.
"To cultivate the Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique, one must at least reach the Third Realm of Awakening, refining one's five senses and enhancing the spiritual eye. And this is just the beginning."
The Awakening Realm is the first threshold for cultivators.
Awakening the spiritual eye and enhancing the five senses.
This is the first step for cultivators to comprehend the heavens and the earth, and it is also the first bottleneck that many people struggle with.
Generally, the spiritual eye will only strengthen as one's cultivation level increases, without any specific cultivation method.
But the Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique can break this norm.
Just this point alone signifies the extraordinary nature of this technique.
"After reaching the Fourth Realm, enhancing the divine sense, and harmonizing the six senses with the heavens and humans!"
The so-called harmony between the heavens and humans, also known as the sixth sense of cultivators, is a realm beyond the five senses, indescribable.
Like high-level cultivators who have a vague premonition of major events, personal calamities, or breakthroughs in cultivation.
This sixth sense is mysterious and profound.
And in the cultivation of the Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique at the Fourth Realm, harmonizing the six senses places the harmony between the heavens and humans on the same level as the five senses.
"So after reaching the Fourth Realm, perhaps I can clearly use this harmony between the heavens and humans?"
The specific circumstances were still unknown to Lin Ji.
Only through cultivation could he gain a true understanding.
But in any case, the Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique was definitely Lin Ji's most precious technique at the moment.
"Is this the gift from the heavens I obtained after slaying that demon yesterday?" Lin Ji came to his senses.
Looking at the demon-slaying sword casually thrown on the bed and the ancient book in his hand, he realized that they were not on the same level.
"I knew it. After killing that demon, my cultivation advanced significantly. The gift should not be as simple as that!" Lin Ji suddenly frowned.
The demon-slaying sword was too simple, but the Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique was too extraordinary.
This kind of technique was obviously a hidden trump card of Master Ti Yun.
Even if Master Ti Yun was truly carefree and indifferent, reaching a high level of cultivation where nothing mattered.
But it was still unlikely that after helping him kill the traitor and treating him to a drink, he would bring out such a precious technique.
"Master Ti Yun also mentioned that I have deep blessings and extraordinary destiny. Master Xing Chi also mentioned this." Lin Ji found it hard not to connect these two incidents.
Thinking of the Soul-Subduing Demon-Exorcising Staff, and the son of the Ghost King who died at his hands, that unfortunate ghost.
"The Soul-Subduing Demon-Exorcising Staff is related to something Master Xing Chi is currently involved in, perhaps many people are conspiring. It's not a bad thing, but it's definitely a major event."
"If that's the case, the cause and effect of killing that ghost will not be as simple as the Monkey Wine that seemed to promote cultivation at the time. Now it seems that it is far from enough."
Lin Ji speculated that today's Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique was combined with the cause and effect of killing the ghost, which was the cause of the major event he was subtly involved in.
And the fact that Master Ti Yun drank the Monkey Wine also confirmed the possibility of this speculation.
"This technique is quite a hot potato."
Lin Ji put down the ancient book, feeling a chill in his heart.
"A third-ranking official of the court, whose daughter was ambushed halfway, turned into a lonely ghost, and whose wife was turned into a demon by evildoers. If I hadn't coincidentally exposed it that day, who knows how long they would have remained hidden! Who dares to casually investigate the wife of the current Prime Minister? That's in the capital!"
"And I returned Miss Luo's sachet, theoretically, the cause and effect should have been resolved, but I have yet to see any gifts."
Recent events made Lin Ji vaguely feel that there was a puppeteer behind the scenes, pushing things forward and pushing him deeper into the quagmire.
Even though he had already distanced himself from the matters in Qingyang County.
"Master Ti Yun and Master Xing Chi both said that I have deep blessings, and they must have used some means to see the gifts from the heavens after I completed the cause and effect. They may not see clearly what exactly happened, but knowing that I am favored by the heavens is enough."
Lin Ji pondered.
Delving into why he was chosen.
"Individuals favored by the heavens like me are not uncommon. In the major cultivation families or sects, there are many outstanding talents chosen by the heavens. Why was I chosen in particular?"
After thinking for a long time, Lin Ji couldn't figure it out.
"Let's focus on cultivation first and learn this Six Senses Returning to the Origin Technique."
Lin Ji set aside his complicated thoughts.
"After all, Master Xing Chi said that after I break through the Fourth Realm, there will be things coming to me, and I can deal with them then."
Lin Ji quickly entered a state of cultivation.
The extremely difficult primordial spirit technique, he only needed to read it once to easily comprehend it.
Outside Qingyang County, next to a clear pond.
Master Xing Chi sat cross-legged on a large rock, allowing the moonlight to illuminate his head.
Not far away, a swan floated quietly in the water, with a faint aura fluctuating around its body, causing ripples in the pond.
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
"The person you chose is quite interesting, and he is a good person." Master Ti Yun suddenly appeared in front of Master Xing Chi.
"Naturally, unlike you Taoists who love to discuss fate, everything is about fate. We Buddhists also talk about karma, but when we see something we like, that's fate."
"You do have a clear understanding," Master Ti Yun chuckled.
Master Xing Chi also smiled and said, "It's a pity about your disciple. If you hadn't come looking for me last night, I wouldn't have known that the Taoist who was beheaded was your disciple."
The reason Master Xing Chi left in a hurry yesterday was because Master Ti Yun secretly communicated with him.
"What a pity. A traitor, he has taken the path of evil. Even without this incident, I would have personally taken action," Master Ti Yun sighed. "I was actually following him all the way, and I saw him using the secret technique I passed on to him to search for demons, killing innocents in the deep mountains and forests."
"Some demons have never done evil, but they were also killed by him. I couldn't bear to watch. Several times I wanted to take action to end him, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. If there was even a slight possibility of him turning back to the right path, I didn't want to take his life."
"But I have to thank you and that kid. Even though he was my disciple raised from childhood, no matter how many evil deeds he committed, I still had some reluctance in my heart."
"Indecision leads to chaos," Master Xing Chi shook his head slightly and stopped talking about this matter, then asked, "Have you found out anything?"
"I haven't made any progress yet, but taking advantage of the new emperor's amnesty, breaking the great formation of the Demon-Sealing Tower, releasing the evil spirits captured by the Celestial Monitoring Bureau for a thousand years, this is not something an ordinary person can do. This matter requires careful consideration," Master Ti Yun sighed lightly.
"That kid suits my taste, letting him take this risk, I really can't bear it." After a moment of silence, Master Ti Yun suddenly said.
"This is a good thing for the world, and perhaps not necessarily a bad thing for him. More importantly, this matter is urgent, and for a while, we can't find anyone else with a clean background and upright character. He is the most suitable candidate." Master Xing Chi looked deeply at Master Ti Yun and continued, "If it were someone with deep blessings, there are many such people in this world. But those from the aristocratic families and sects, would you dare to let them go?"
Master Ti Yun shook his head.
"I wouldn't dare."
