On Wenfa Peak, the Scripture Pavilion stood silently at the mountaintop like a slumbering giant beast.
The majestic building, towering over a hundred feet, was divided into nine levels, with flying eaves and carved beams, each floor enveloped in a faint spirit light, as if containing endless mysteries.
Around the pavilion, countless runes flowed, forming a massive protective grand array, exuding a solemn and dignified aura.
Chen Sheng stood in front of the Scripture Pavilion, looking up, feeling a deep sense of history coming at him.
Here lay the repository of countless cultivation techniques and Daoist skills inherited over millennia by the Three Elements Dao Sect, a treasure vault for Dao Sect disciples to draw knowledge from.
Upon stepping into the first floor, Chen Sheng's heart was instantly filled with shock.
The spacious hall was filled with bookshelves as far as the eye could see, neatly arranged with scrolls of Qi cultivation level cultivation techniques.
The number of these techniques was not just in the millions, and surprisingly, there were no restrictions at all, as if they were available to be perused by anyone.
Such a sight would absolutely never appear in the Qinghua Sect—even the most basic Qi cultivation techniques would have simple restrictions.
Even more astonishing was that there were three such floors.
The bottom three floors were all like this, with countless low-tier cultivation techniques recorded, from the most basic Breathing Techniques to various magical techniques of the Qi Cultivation Stage, all available.
It wasn't until the fourth floor that the scope began to include Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.
Between the staircases, faint restrictions had already appeared, emitting a weak spirit light.
The identity jade scroll at Chen Sheng's waist emitted a faint glow, interacting with the restriction, and instantly, a passage for passage emerged within the restriction.
"With my identity as an Inner Sect Elder, I can freely access below the seventh layer," Chen Sheng thought to himself, stepping into the fourth floor.
On the shelves of the fourth floor, restrictions began to appear, emitting lights of various colors, with corresponding descriptions, indicating the grade, type, and borrowing requirements of the cultivation techniques.
"With my permissions, inheritances below Tier Three can be directly borrowed."
Chen Sheng's heart stirred, and his gaze was drawn to a shelf at the Foundation Establishment level with the deepest rainbow light, and he walked over.
"This should be the quasi-Tier Three inheritance."
He took out the identity jade scroll, infused it with mana, and with a flash of light from the jade scroll, the layer of flowing light restriction dispersed like a tide.
On the shelf, scrolls of jade etched with the names of cultivation techniques were neatly arranged:
"Circulation Transporting Formula," "Ten Revolutions Body Refining Technique," "Profound Water Condensing Truth Record," "Heaven-Burning Pill Scripture," "Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Manual," "Myriad Transformations Talisman Scripture," "Nine Curves Array Map"...
As Chen Sheng carefully scanned those catalogues, he found that all the pill formulas, cultivation techniques, sword scriptures, heterodox talismans, arrays, and other inheritances there were of the quasi-Tier Three level.
Some were even as exquisite as lower-grade Tier Three, only incomplete, thus not classified as Tier Three.
He sighed endlessly in his heart:
"These inheritances, in the Qinghua Sect, are the most core inheritances. Even true disciples would need a lot of contribution points to exchange for them. I never expected that here, I could freely borrow them."
After his emotional reflections, Chen Sheng continued to move upwards.
He had a very clear goal for visiting the Scripture Pavilion—to find a method of pill transformation to turn the fake core within him into a true Golden Core.
As he proceeded all the way up, the restrictions on the floors grew stronger.
By the time he reached the seventh floor, the restrictions here became even more esoteric, layer upon layer, covering the walls and cultivation techniques, all reaching Tier Four standards, exuding an oppressive aura that was terrifying.
If it weren't for the protection of the identity jade scroll, an ordinary Golden Core cultivator stepping in here would only meet one end: death on the spot.
Chen Sheng walked to a corner on the seventh floor, seeing that the shelves there held jade scrolls related to methods of pill transformation.
"Demon Fire Refining Golden Pill," "Blood Pill Condensing Truth Chapter," "Three Revolutions Demon Pill Transformation"...
Chen Sheng's gaze slowly swept over these introductions, and a hint of doubt suddenly arose in his mind:
"Why are most of these techniques Demon Cultivator methods?"
Thinking about it, he found it normal.
Demonic cultivators often practice domineering methods, and their techniques for seizing pills are prevalent, with the likelihood of condensing fake cores far higher than orthodox cultivators.
High demand naturally leads to more developed methods of pill transformation, inevitably carrying some traces of the Demon Dao.
"Bone Marrow Cleansing and Pill Formation Technique":
By using a special herb bath combined with spells, it slowly washes away impurities from the fake core while nourishing the dantian. Once impurities are cleansed, the fake core will naturally transform into a Golden Core.
This technique is gentle and stable, but it takes a very long time and requires a large amount of rare herbs to assist.
"Pill Shattering Condensing True Technique":
Forcibly shattering the fake core, extracting its essence, and then using secret techniques to reconsolidate a Golden Core.
This technique is domineering and direct, causing significant primordial Qi damage to the cultivator, but it is fast, suitable for younger cultivators with a solid foundation.
Chen Sheng's gaze swept over the recorded techniques for transforming fake cores and refining them into Golden Cores, carefully browsing them three times over.
At the same time, he roughly categorized these techniques in his mind into two types.
The first type was like the "Bone Marrow Cleansing and Pill Formation Technique," which slowly impacts and refines the impurities in the fake core through special means, turning the fake core into a Golden Core.
This process is relatively complex and tedious, with minimal drain on primordial Qi and takes a long time, often requiring decades or even centuries.
This type of technique is most suitable for older cultivators, for whom forcibly transforming a core, resulting in a drop in realm to Foundation Establishment, would essentially leave them facing only the end of life.
The second type is like the "Pill Shattering Condensing True Technique," which involves forcibly transforming the core and then reconsolidating it.
This method is most suitable for young cultivators who have gone astray. Although it causes more primordial Qi damage, it is simple, direct, fast, and efficient; if done smoothly, it can reconnect them with their Dao path in a few short years.
