Studying Fengdu Technique, naturally, has its reasons.

Li Yan understood this clearly in his heart.

Firstly, what he has been cultivating is the "Luo Feng Scripture", which has already laid a deep foundation. Switching to another method is not a good choice.

The path of cultivation is not about who has the most powerful techniques.

It's about who can go further.

Mortal life is limited, even if you are given the methods of the Jade Emperor, how many can survive the life and death tribulations, let alone the subsequent numerous tribulations.

Secondly, there is the information revealed by the old Taoist.

The disciples cultivating Fengdu Technique in the North Emperor Sect are extremely few due to the constraints of the North Emperor Black Law.

Among those practicing the "Luo Feng Scripture" as living Yin messengers, he is the only one known.

It is even rarer to practice both methods.

Moreover, there is a change in identity.

From his past life experiences, Li Yan knew that the best life choices were not those with pleasant reputations, but those that were rare.

Practicing Fengdu Technique is definitely the right choice.

"Quite clever..."

The old Taoist Juechenzi nodded slightly, clearly approving of his choice.

Then, the old Taoist continued, "As for the remaining two, they are the Demon King Technique and the Zhenwu Technique."

"As for the Demon King Technique, you should know, it is the method to command the Six Palace Demon Kings, such as the Zong Lingcheng of the Palace Demon King in Zhuhytian Palace, or the Xiang Weiyuan of the Taishaliangshigong Palace Demon King."

"This technique is originally a forbidden technique, difficult to cultivate. When Heavenly Master Zhang suppressed the Six Palace Demon Kings, it was borrowed by the power of the Heavenly Court. Mortals who try to command them may easily suffer backlash if they're not careful."

"Since you have already cultivated the 'Luo Feng Scripture', you can use the name of the Yin Bureau to command them, overlapping with this technique, without needing to cultivate further."

"As for the Zhenwu Technique, it is similar to the lineage of Zhenwu Palace, known for its Martial Arts, yet not as deeply rooted as the inheritance of Zhenwu Palace."

After hearing the introduction from the old Taoist, Li Yan hesitated, "Can I only choose two methods?"

Juechenzi responded calmly, "Greed leads to nothing accomplished. With opportunities up to this point, if you are too greedy, you might end up achieving nothing."

Li Yan frowned, lost in thought.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Could Senior explain in detail about the Earth Deity Sect? I heard you can summon Spiritual Official Wen Lingguan?"

Li Yan was not particularly sly, but he was quite experienced in the pugilistic world.

The introduction by the old Taoist seemed detailed, but there was a trap subtly set within his words, steering him toward the Tian Peng Method and Fengdu Technique.

Yet, the Magic Method of the Earth Deity Sect was lightly glossed over.

It's important to know that the old Taoist's origin was from the Earth Deity Sect, although it is also part of the North Emperor's lineage, they have their distances.

Was he deliberately hiding something?

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist was silent for a moment, then agreed without concealment, nodding, "Indeed, it can be done, and this old Taoist harbors no private intentions."

"The other methods of the Earth Deity Sect require offering to Mortal Gods to borrow their power, being the method of a temple priest, thus irrelevant to you. However, the secret technique of summoning Wen Lingguan is indeed extraordinary."

"Wen Lingguan was originally a reincarnated Heavenly Being, who, upon birth, had the Cloud Seals of the Heavenly Book on both of his ribs, consisting of the twenty-four words of the 'Tribulations Heavenly Book' and the sixteen words of the 'Chasing Demons Summoning', which are the sect's secret that is not publicly passed down."

"Back then, Ancestor Zhang Jixian specially crafted the 'Bing Ding Talisman', also known as the 'Bing Ding Ghost Talisman', inscribed with this Cloud Seals of the Heavenly Book."

"The emboldened treasure is the key to summon Wen Lingguan."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan instantly understood.

He, after all, was not a member of the Earth Deity Sect, and if he learned this method, he would undoubtedly need to take this treasure, resulting in the Earth Deity Sect permanently losing it.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, then let's forget it."

Regardless of the reason, having received the passed-on teachings was already a great gratitude; taking away the sect's treasure would be unreasonable.

Who knew, after a moment of silence, the old Taoist sighed, "Never mind, man's calculations are no match for heaven's plan. Since fate has already parted, forcefully keeping this treasure will instead invite disaster."

He then stood up shakily, carefully retrieving a brocade box from a hidden compartment in the study table, and brought it to Li Yan, opening it.

Inside the box was a Token.

It was unclear what material it was made from; its black, wood-like texture was akin to ebony, with golden patterns outlined on its surface. Apart from the complex talismans, both sides bore unknown inscriptions resembling cloud patterns.

Upon seeing it, Li Yan felt a chill in his heart.

This item was indeed a treasure, for as soon as the brocade box was opened, the fierce aura within caused him to pause in his breaths.

There was a mighty, ferocious power emanating directly towards him.

The old Taoist Juechenzi, with reluctance in his eyes, said in a deep voice, "This treasure is the 'Bing Ding Ghost Talisman', personally crafted by the Heavenly Master back in the day, made with the thunderstruck Yin Chen Wood."

"One side engraves the twenty-four-word 'Tribulations Heavenly Book', and the other side engraves the sixteen-word 'Chasing Demons Summoning' book."

Seeing Li Yan hesitate, seemingly intending to refuse, the old Taoist sighed slightly, pushing the box closer, "Take it, I, this humble Taoist, could only wield it with difficulty in my youth, but today, I am no longer capable."

"With the disciples of the sect dwindling, no one is left to inherit it. I only hope that by obtaining this treasure, you can punish evil and promote good, worthy of its name."

"Thank you, Senior."

With the conversation reaching this point, Li Yan no longer hesitated.

As he faced increasingly stronger enemies, having enough cards to play was essential.

Summoning Wen Lingguan certainly wouldn't be easy, but as long as there was hope, it could become a critical weapon for breaking the deadlock.

"Very well..."

The old Taoist Juechenzi withdrew his gaze and said solemnly, "While the old Taoist's mind remains clear, let me impart the essentials to you today."

"The key to the Fengdu Technique lies in the Three Classes."

"The Teacher Class, the Sage Class, and the General Class. The Teacher and Sage Classes need no further explanation, with references to the Imperial Tutor Zhongtian Purple Tenuity, the Three Officials and Four Sages of the North Pole, and Emperor Fengdu. The methods are all documented in the Magic Books, but none have succeeded yet."

"The main teachings I can impart are from the General Class, of the Six Palaces and Six Caves, various offices, Eastern Yue, Western Terrace, soldiers and generals, Netherworld Officials..."
