Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 870 Support

During the years that Jing Yu ascended to the immortal world, he also read a lot of immortal books related to cultivation. Many high-level cultivators believed that the more knowledgeable a cultivator is, the more he can apply what he has learned to other similar situations. Therefore, there are many cultivators who strive to learn from the strengths of all schools in order to comprehend the great way and live forever.

But in fact, there are also many cultivators who think that being too knowledgeable is not a good thing. At least for those who have achieved the status of Dao Lord or Dao Master, after they have determined their own path, if they try to comprehend other paths, they will fall into the "obstacle of knowledge and views".

For example, a peerless martial art is hidden in a book of poetry and prose that seems to have nothing to do with cultivation. Countless extremely intelligent and knowledgeable people cannot understand its meaning, and some even misinterpret it and go astray.

On the contrary, a country peasant who could not read was not trapped by the knowledge barrier of words, and he was able to understand the extraordinary magical power by following the pictographic meaning of the words.

Especially to achieve the highest state of Taoism, one must blaze a new trail from scratch. On the contrary, a blank sheet of paper that has never seen the scenery at the top is more suitable for expressing oneself.

Jing Yu pondered, "It seems that what Daoist Lord Jiuming said about the [Suffering Crossing Sutra] being largely written by Daoist Lord Changqing is probably biased. It's possible that Daoist Lord Wanshou made a greater contribution to this extraordinary body-refining technique, with Daoist Lord Changqing merely providing some guidance."

"After all, if the [obstacle to knowledge and perception] related to the Great Dao really exists, then the probability of Wanshou Daozun achieving the status of a Venerable through the Way of Body Refining is probably even greater than that of Changqing Daozun!"

"Daoist Master Changqing doesn't want to become a master himself, but to pave the way for his son!"

"What a shame... Perhaps Wanshou Daojun still lacked some talent and opportunity. Even though he had food at his fingertips, he ultimately only achieved Daojun status."

"It seems that Daoist Lord Jiu Ming's way of entering the Dao through soul refinement may be another attempt by Daoist Lord Chang Qing."

"This at least proves that Daoist Master Changqing believes that both the [Body Refining] and [Spirit Refining] paths have the potential to cultivate a Daoist Master. This also indirectly shows that no one has achieved Daoist Master status in these two paths yet, leaving them vacant."

Thinking of this, Jing Yu was shocked. "Fellow Daoist Lu has combined the essences of Essence, Qi, and Spirit into one, attempting to prove her Dao through sheer force... If there are no Venerables in the Essence and Spirit realms, then isn't her path a castle in the air?"

"The integration of Essence, Qi, and Spirit might be able to create a new kind of power, but two of the three foundations are inherently deficient. It's like making a dish without two ingredients; how can you create a delicious delicacy?"

"It's like a good cook cannot cook without rice..."

"No wonder Daoist Master Shenmeng hoped that Daoist Fellow Lu would cultivate the Way of Thunder and wield the power of thunder... With Daoist Fellow Lu's talent, cultivating Thunder and becoming a Dao Lord should be a great possibility. It would be much smoother than your current path."

"The prerequisite is that she can bear the great cause and effect of holding the power of thunder..."

While Jing Yu was thinking, his expression suddenly changed. The formation outside the cave sounded an alarm. He went out to take a look and found that it was a communication talisman from Jian Suyun, the head manager of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce in Baichuan City.

----

On the second floor of the Wanjie Treasure Tower, Jing Yu saw Jian Suyun and subconsciously saluted:

"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jian Suyun came out of her dozing state, opened her eyes, and her gaze towards Jing Yu became gentle, with obvious praise and admiration in it.

It's nothing, this [traveling merchant] who was accidentally recruited more than three hundred years ago is indeed one of his lucky ones!

Not only did he never fail in his many trips to the lower realms for business, but he also returned with a full load every time, never losing money... He had made a lot of profits for the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce over the years. How could Jian Suyun not be happy with such a capable subordinate?

"Xuan Jing, have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation recently?" Jian Suyun did not rush to talk about the matter, but instead started with a greeting.

"Boss, my cultivation has been going smoothly. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Now, my realm has been stabilized... but I am still a long way from the Cave Heaven Realm." Jing Yu replied with a smile.

"Rare, rare... Your cultivation speed is already not inferior to the geniuses of the major forces."

Jian Suyun nodded: "But most of the geniuses from those powerful forces have precious places of cultivation to help them comprehend the laws... So it seems that you are better than them."

Jian Suyun looked up and down at Jing Yu's heroic and extraordinary face and slender and upright body. A strange emotion suddenly emerged in her heart for no reason. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she thought to herself:

"This man is incredibly gifted, possesses an extraordinary bearing, and possesses a handsome appearance. His future achievements will undoubtedly surpass mine... Most importantly, after centuries of observation, I've discovered he possesses a peaceful disposition, not one of utter evil... Merchants are driven by profit, and seeing such a fine talent, how could they resist placing a significant bet?"

"Maybe this is my chance..."

Thinking of this, Jian Suyun flipped his hand and handed a jade slip to Jing Yu:

"The General Assembly has delegated another trading mission. This time, the destination of the lower realm is called the [Cangyan Realm], a realm dominated by the demonic path... The general information is contained in this jade slip."

"Go back and take a look. Prepare for a few days and then set off."

"Yes!"

Jing Yu put away the jade slip and nodded.

He was about to leave when Jian Suyun stopped him.

The woman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Thanks to you and Gu Ming, I've accumulated enough merit. Coupled with the help of the teachers at the headquarters, I should be transferred back to the headquarters soon... The transfer order will probably be issued in a few years."

Jing Yu was startled, then subconsciously bowed and said, "I would like to congratulate the head manager on his promotion."

"I'm telling you this because I plan to take you with me after I transfer back to the headquarters."

Jian Suyun pondered and said, "By the time you finish this job, your military service will have been basically paid off with the Wanbao money you earned... Even if there's a little left, I'll help you pay it off."

"If you follow me back to the headquarters of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce, you'll have much better development than in Baichuan City... The Wanjie Chamber of Commerce headquarters is located in the most prosperous and affluent Tongtian Realm of the First Heaven. There are even traces of immortals there, so it's easy to meet noble people who can help you."

"Moreover, many of the forces there are branches of the [Second Heaven] and [Third Heaven] immortal sects in the [First Heaven], and they have inextricable ties with the two upper heavens. Even a wandering immortal wouldn't dare to casually slaughter living beings in Tongtian Territory. In fact, it's much safer than in such a remote place."

"This is a rare opportunity... so I came to ask for your opinion. If you don't have anywhere else to go, then please come with me."

"Don't worry. My suggestion isn't mandatory. If you have a better choice, I, Jian Suyun, will personally escort you there. I will never delay your path for selfish reasons... We're all just building a good relationship, and I won't do anything that turns a favor into an enemy."
