When Tian Chu Zhenren arrived at Taichu Peak, Ye Tianfan was unaware of what he said to the Sect Leader. What Ye Tianfan knew was that when Tian Chu Zhenren returned, the heart of the nine-headed monster dragon was not brought back. Furthermore, Tian Chu Zhenren told Ye Tianfan that the heart was temporarily placed at Taichu Peak for research, and Tian Chu Zhenren would go there daily to participate in the study.
Moreover, if any results were produced from the research, they would first be shared with Ye Tianfan, allowing him to decide the final direction of these results. Subsequently, any research outcomes would also be prioritized for Ye Tianfan to determine their purpose.
Simply put, all the Elder Chiefs of Taichu Sect take nothing from the research and let Ye Tianfan decide the fate of the outcomes.
Although each time everyone joined in researching the heart of the nine-headed monster dragon, the actual researchers only comprised half of them, swapping daily, while the other half cultivated nearby.
Cultivating beside the Jade Liquid yields a hundredfold effort for half the work.
Just by cultivating on the side, the Elder Chiefs were already satisfied because it would allow them to break through years of bottlenecks. They felt content with just this; desiring more would disrupt their state of mind.
If one's mind gets disrupted, the least of consequences is veering off course, leading to a regression in cultivation. The worst result is descending into demonic influence.
Hence, righteous practitioners, aside from those at lower stages, all individuals with strength above Baihui can restrain their inner greed. They can possibly empty their emotions instantaneously, preventing the generation of Heart Demons.
So, even though the Elder Chiefs were shocked and astonished with various sentiments, they still would not covet the items Ye Tianfan acquired through his trials.
Even though it is the legendary Jade Liquid in abundance sufficient to create several Immortals, they remain unmoved because the Elder Chiefs, no matter all righteous high-level figures, agree on one principle: though strength is crucial, it ranks second, preceded by the heart and self. If a person loses their self, they are not far from veering off course.
Once a person veers off course, are they still themselves? Your original thoughts and consciousness are all altered. Although you think you are still you, you are no longer your true self.
Ye Tianfan was genuinely startled upon hearing this news. He did not expect such an utterly pure sect existed. Initially, Ye Tianfan thought obtaining some Jade Liquid was already incredible. After all, he owed gratitude, and offering up the heart of the nine-headed monster dragon was to strengthen Taichu Sect. As Taichu Sect grows stronger, they will remember his good deeds, enabling him to live better.
But who would have thought, the Elder Chiefs showed no greed for the Jade Liquid, rather devotedly assisting him in research, handing over the results to him. They just cultivated on the side.
This made Ye Tianfan feel truly pampered unexpectedly. He quickly expressed there was no need; simply giving a little when he needed it was enough. Although this item is a giant treasure, based on Ye Tianfan's current mindset, using it up to level three to five of Qian Yuan at most would unsettle his inner peace. Though the "Great Universe Method" can elevate his strength a bit more, it is only an additional three to five levels; subsequently, he still needs to enhance his mindset. Otherwise, there remains a risk of veering off course.
It's not exactly veering off course, but merely being controlled by power, not controlling power.
This way Ye Tianfan feels, once his mindset improves, using Jade Liquid for cultivating spiritual power would be rapid and without bottlenecks.
When Tian Chu Zhenren heard Ye Tianfan being so generous, he was quite satisfied, surprised that his disciple could be so selfless. Offering such a Treasure Mountain so effortlessly.
Tian Chu Zhenren almost moved to tears. Furthermore, when he conveyed this to the other Elder Chiefs and Elders, some sentimental Elders were moved to tears, declaring they wanted to become sworn brothers with Ye Tianfan.
Fortunately, Tian Chu Zhenren managed to dissuade them; otherwise, what would that become? Those Elders are of his generation or higher — becoming sworn brothers with his disciple means he would be his disciple's senior uncle?
Though stopped, those Elders each wrote down their treasured techniques, handing them to Ye Tianfan through Tian Chu Zhenren, offering that Ye Tianfan may ask anytime about anything unclear, promising a warm welcome.
Tian Chu Zhenren collected these earnestly, added his own, and handed them all to Ye Tianfan.
With such a wealth of books, under the envy and jealousy of his fellow disciples, Ye Tianfan didn't know what to say.
This is an ideal sect indeed, devoid of intrigue, just warmth and kindness.
That day, Ye Tianfan began examining the books, seeking any techniques suitable for him, given that those regular techniques were adequate against ordinary cultivators but ineffective against elites. Besides, Taichu Peak's secret techniques excessively consumed spiritual power — using one or two moves exhausted almost half the spiritual power, let alone the third move where the move was barely formed before the spiritual power depleted.
"Hmm, this one is nice - 'Heaven-Reaching Finger,' gathering spiritual power at the fingertip, then shooting at the enemy through the resonance of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; quite remarkable." Ye Tianfan carefully placed the volume of "Heaven-Reaching Finger" in his pile marked for cultivation.
"What's this? The 'Frost Head Cone' transforms spiritual power into frost, concentrates it above the head, and crashes it against the enemy — what? I'm not a bull, why cultivate this thing?" Ye Tianfan said, setting aside the "Frost Head Cone" in the pile marked not for cultivation.
This way Ye Tianfan divided over a dozen books into two piles: one for cultivation, one not for cultivation. Four techniques fell into cultivation, the rest were not.
It's not that Ye Tianfan is picky; rather, those techniques simply didn't look good upon use.
Like what head cones, braid tails; how could Ye Tianfan, a handsome man, use them? They would ruin his image. Moreover, he found another book, named "Fireball," though weaker in might, had strong penetration and explosive effects; yet Ye Tianfan still was greatly dismissive.
The reason is none other than during the firing of this "Fireball," it is notably unhygienic, spitting it out of the mouth.
Some argue that spitting a fireball isn't unflattering; isn't it quite dashing?
