The Supreme Spirit Void Scripture—this scripture isn't so easy to Cultivate, and even understanding it is no simple feat.
The Clerk thought about the scripture He Xiuyuan had just taken, and after a moment of thought, he couldn't help but shake his head.
This scripture, I'm afraid, would be difficult to Cultivate successfully even for a Expert of the Dao.
With that thought, the Clerk stopped pondering and turned to disappear into the temple.
.......
“I have it!”
“With this Cultivation Technique, I'll be able to Cultivate from now on!”
He Xiuyuan had already left the City God Temple at this point, holding the Supreme Spirit Void Scripture in his hand, filled with immense joy.
Holding this Cultivation method, He Xiuyuan had no desire to wander outside and went straight home with it.
A moment later, He Xiuyuan returned home, closed his door, and immediately opened the Jade Slip to examine it.
As the scripture unfolded, lines of text appeared before He Xiuyuan's eyes.
“Passed down from the Azure Heavens, it is the Supreme Marvelous Canon; those who study this scripture are Disciples of My Daoist Sect.”
“The scripture states: Supreme Spirit Void Scripture.”
He Xiuyuan's eyes lit up as he read the opening passage, then continued to read further down.
“Supreme Spirit Void, moving the body with Qi, flying through the Qiongxiao clouds, the vast blue-green sky, seven turns and nine returns.”
.....
“Flowing jade golden light, green intent circulating, mountains and seas covered in movement.”
“Profound Qi rising from the abdomen, the Big Dipper's cycle, shadow and rhyme transforming into Cultivation, stars guarding the journey.”
Line after line of text continuously entered He Xiuyuan's eyes at this moment.
At first glance, He Xiuyuan felt he understood something, but by the time he reached the middle section, He Xiuyuan was utterly bewildered.
This scripture was too profound; he couldn't understand it at all.
How could one learn a scripture that couldn't be understood?
He Xiuyuan stared at the scripture before him, feeling completely lost, his eyes filled with confusion.
It seemed that without someone to teach him, even if he had the Cultivation Technique, he couldn't fully comprehend what was written inside.
If that were the case, wouldn't this Cultivation Technique become useless in his hands?
He Xiuyuan frowned, looking at the Cultivation Technique in his hand, and couldn't help but ponder.
This wouldn't do; since he had the Cultivation Technique, he had to succeed in Cultivating it no matter what.
Otherwise, the Immortal Sect would be hard to find, with no news whatsoever.
Placing hope on that Immortal Sect was too vague and uncertain.
With that thought, He Xiuyuan immediately lowered his head and continued to examine the Cultivation Technique in his hand, attempting to thoroughly comprehend it.
As He Xiuyuan lowered his head to look at the Cultivation Technique in his hand, time passed quickly; before he knew it, when He Xiuyuan looked up again, it was already dark.
And He Xiuyuan's stomach had already begun to grumble at this time.
He Xiuyuan rubbed his stomach and glanced at the sky, “It's already this dark? I didn't even notice.”
He hadn't even eaten lunch, having focused entirely on studying the Cultivation Technique.
However, after a day of studying, he still had no progress.
He Xiuyuan sighed, rubbed his stomach, and decided to go eat first.
“I don't have much money left.”
He Xiuyuan calculated; excluding what he bought today, he only had a little over a hundred copper coins left.
He would have to find some work later to earn some money; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to Cultivate before running out of money for food.
Thinking this, He Xiuyuan rubbed his head, put the Jade Slip into his bosom, and went out the door.
By the time He Xiuyuan went out, rows of lanterns had already lit up in Peach Blossom Town; although these lanterns weren't very bright, they allowed people to clearly see the surrounding roads.
There were many children running on the streets, making it quite lively and cheerful.
He Xiuyuan walked to the mixed noodle shop and ordered a bowl of mixed noodle soup and two sesame cakes from the shopkeeper.
These cost He Xiuyuan eighteen copper coins.
“He Gongzi, why are you eating so late today?”
The shopkeeper asked curiously while preparing He Xiuyuan's food.
He Xiuyuan lived here, so the people nearby naturally recognized He Xiuyuan.
He Xiuyuan heard this, touched the Jade Slip in his bosom, and said helplessly, “I was so engrossed in reading that I forgot the time.”
The shopkeeper immediately showed an envious expression, “He Gongzi is so diligent, he will surely pass the imperial examination later!”
One must know that He Xiuyuan was the youngest Xiucai in their Peach Blossom Town, and now that he was so diligent, it was still possible for him to pass the imperial examination later.
He Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly upon hearing this; he wasn't reading books for the imperial examination, but rather Cultivation scriptures.
Now that the other person praised him like this, it made it a bit difficult for him to respond.
After the shopkeeper's soup arrived, along with two sesame cakes, He Xiuyuan slowly began to eat.
The food wasn't particularly delicious, but it was enough to fill his stomach.
Most importantly, He Xiuyuan didn't have much money now, so he naturally couldn't be picky.
By the time He Xiuyuan finished eating, it was already pitch black, with stars twinkling in the night sky.
The dark night sky was filled with starlight.
The local residents were already accustomed to this, but for He Xiuyuan, it felt somewhat endlessly fascinating no matter how he looked at it.
And when He Xiuyuan had walked a bit further, a fisherman mending his net nearby looked at He Xiuyuan's disappearing back, his eyes flickering slightly.
“Old Man Yu, are you very familiar with He Xiucai?”
Old Man Yu in the shop was stunned for a moment, then looked at the fisherman beside him in confusion, “He Xiucai also lives in this alley; we're neighbors, so we're quite familiar. What's wrong?”
The others present also turned their heads, looking at the fisherman who had suddenly asked the question, their faces full of confusion.
Seeing this, the fisherman swallowed, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, “This He Xiucai is not ordinary.”
“Hey, He Xiucai is the youngest Xiucai in our town, so of course he's not ordinary.”
The surrounding people scoffed and replied.
The fisherman immediately became anxious upon hearing this, and quickly explained, “I don't mean that; it's that yesterday, we saw this He Xiucai sitting on a bamboo raft, and that bamboo raft flew directly to the shore, do you know that!”
That day, he had personally seen the bamboo raft as if it were about to fly, which was truly terrifying!
Everyone around was stunned by these words, then shook their heads and scoffed, “You fellow, why are you also learning from the children and talking nonsense? How could He Xiucai make a bamboo raft fly? Do you think He Xiucai is an immortal?”
As they spoke, everyone scoffed endlessly, not taking his words seriously at all.
The fisherman immediately became anxious upon hearing this; he had seen it with his own eyes, how could it be false?
Moreover, he wasn't the only one who saw that scene at the time; there were others too!
But at this moment, no matter what he said, the surrounding residents were indifferent, not believing the fisherman's words at all.
