Lifespan is something that almost all cultivators in the Cultivation Realm strive for.

Timeless legends, eternal life.

But even for peerless geniuses, few can ensure they have enough lifespan to break through barriers, advance realms, and successfully ascend to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even the higher Nascent Soul Realm.

Thus, many genius cultivators choose to cultivate the ’Cultivation Method’ cultivation technique, advancing directly to the peak of Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation in the shortest time, then wholeheartedly pursuing Foundation Establishment to become great cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This is why there are many true cultivator powerhouses in the Cultivation Realm who have already reached Foundation Establishment in their teens or twenties.

In the eyes of these remarkable talents, Foundation Establishment is just the beginning of cultivation, where one starts converting to the sect’s true skill, cultivates the corresponding top-tier legacy, quickly enhances their strength, and becomes renowned throughout the Cultivation Realm.

And then there is the Combat Skill.

This is the cultivation path chosen by ordinary cultivators.

They need to cultivate magic, learn the corresponding Hundred Skills of Cultivation, and earn a vast number of spirit stones to acquire enough cultivation resources to survive in the Cultivation Realm, hoping to catch up with those geniuses and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm by the age of sixty...

"As for the Cultivation Method, we shouldn’t consider it.

The resources needed for cultivation are immense; only with the nourishment of countless natural treasures can one break through to the peak of Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation in just three, five, or at most ten years.

Unless your sect elders are willing to invest heavily in spirit stones for your cultivation, it’s best to give up this idea.

Even the Bai Family in the Fengming Dock Marketplace might not be able to nurture such outstanding talents with all their collective might."

As for Combat Skill.

Most cultivators train in such cultivation techniques.

However, even within Combat Skill, there are differences.

There are top cultivators who have fused Cultivation Method and created cultivation techniques that balance both.

Therefore, some cultivation techniques have faster cultivation speeds, while others progress relatively slower.

For example, Xiaoyue previously cultivated the Water Spirit Technique, a common Combat Skill cultivation method, but now has switched to our Shuiyun Immortal Sect’s foundational cultivation technique, the Water Cloud Technique, which balances both Combat Skill and Cultivation Method.

Not only does it cultivate magic with corresponding attributes, its power is formidable, but the cultivation speed also far exceeds the previous technique."

Shen Xinyue spoke, showing a hint of pride on her face.

"Then, Elder Shen, is there a suitable cultivation technique for modification for my Five Elements Spirit Root?"

Zhou Changwang immediately followed up with a question.

"Which cultivation technique have you been practicing?"

"The Five Elements Technique!"

"This cultivation technique, like the Water Spirit Technique Xiaoyue practiced earlier, is a foundational cultivation method.

It runs for a long time, but the spiritual qi conversion efficiency is very slow.

The fact that you’ve cultivated to Qi Cultivation Fourth Stage shows your significant effort."

Shen Xinyue first acknowledged Zhou Changwang’s hard work and then continued: "However, honestly, although cultivators with Five Elements Spirit Root talent make up the majority in the cultivation world, those who can cultivate to Foundation Establishment Realm using the Five Elements Spirit Root are indeed rare.

Among those I’ve heard of, there’s only Five Paths Daoist Ye Qinglong, who established his foundation a hundred years ago, and Five Elements Wanderer Zhao Zhiheng, who did so seventy years ago.

As for those who have advanced to the Golden Core Realm, there’s only Master Guangyuan Yang Guang, who was famous three hundred years ago.

These individuals didn’t practice ordinary Five Elements Techniques but rather high-tier techniques that balanced Cultivation Method and Combat Skill. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Five Paths Daoist cultivated the Five Elements Primordial Technique, able to achieve Five Elements Unity, combining the power of the Five Elements in magic, making it extremely powerful.

Five Elements Wanderer practiced the Five Elements True Thunder Technique, reportedly obtained from a Secret Realm, which transforms the Power of the Five Elements into Power of Thunder and Lightning. If using thunder magic or thunder and lightning magical artifacts, the power can be enhanced.

As for Master Guangyuan, I’ve heard his cultivation technique was self-created, called the Guangyuan Heart Technique. Unfortunately, he was from the Celestial River Domain, far from us, and I only know of such a powerhouse; I’m unsure of the specifics of his cultivation technique."

After some explanation, Shen Xinyue took a sip of Immortal Drunk and continued: "These techniques are indeed suitable for you to cultivate.

However, acquiring them is not easy.

If you truly desire them, I can leverage Shuiyun Pavilion to help you investigate.

Of course, if you can’t wait, you can inquire in various shops, especially Hexagonal Pavilion. This shop is very powerful.

It’s backed by the Six Great Cultivation Clans, each with Golden Core level powerhouses in residence.

Their foundation is not necessarily inferior to some Immortal Technique Sects."

"Alright, I thank Elder here in advance.

Additionally, I will investigate myself.

I’m just wondering how much it would cost to purchase these types of techniques?"

Zhou Changwang first cupped his hands politely, then asked hesitantly.

"If it’s just the Qi Cultivation Chapter, it might be cheaper; a few thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones should suffice.

If it includes the Foundation Establishment Chapter... at least ten thousand.

Therefore, the best method is to join a sect.

Because in a sect, not only is there instruction from specialized teachers, even if you want to obtain these cultivation techniques, it’s relatively simple; just issue a quest for seeking techniques, and many disciples in the sect will help you find them.

Some techniques are even archived in the sect itself; you only need to complete the corresponding contributions and convert them to contribution points to exchange, no need for such trouble."

Shen Xinyue explained and then didn’t say anything further.
