Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1059 - 142: Healer and Undercover Agent

Elder Xu Xueqing from the Heavenly Book Tower is considered an anomaly on the entire Spirit Phoenix Island. She has many friends and nearly no enemies.

This is all because of her cultivation technique.

Ancient Heart Method, Immortal Rainbow Long Spring Path. The mana cultivated from this technique is balanced, without any special attack abilities, and its self-enhancement isn't top-notch; both swordsmanship and spell casting are mediocre, basically not skilled in combat. However, it has one advantage—it's excellent at linking life breath, protecting the life fire, and can even improve cultivation by assisting in healing others.

This "improving cultivation" naturally doesn't mean curing a patient automatically yields a segment of mana—it's not like gaining experience points in a game. While treating others, the Immortal Rainbow Long Spring Path refines one's mana by the process of the other's injuries continually improving and senses the life force gradually stirred within the patient, refining one's own willpower.

This principle is similar to certain cultivation techniques based on "combat and progress." As long as it's not the demon path technique that absorbs enemy cultivation in combat, it relies solely on combat methods to continuously temper one's own mana, forging one's strength as hard as refined steel, and in the combat, naturally condensing martial arts true intent.

However, opting for such a cultivation technique certainly means being benevolent, adhering to the notion of non-contention, but it also implies one's combat strength won't be very high.

In other words, this method is like pinning one's long-term hope for survival on thoughts like "everyone needs a physician at some point," avoiding making a move against them. Moreover, cultivators have long lifespans; within their thousands to tens of thousands of years of life, as long as one high-order cultivator encounters a desperate moment and thinks, "Ah, I'll loot that famed physician, using their savings to make a comeback and advance further," then cultivators specializing in medical skills but not adept in battle will face a life-and-death crisis.

For eighty thousand years, practitioners of this method have always been few.

However, here on Spirit Phoenix Island, it's a unique environment. The Holy Emperor Venerable has long forbidden high-order cultivators from attacking each other. At this time, Xu Xueqing's advantage as a "physician" is fully manifested. When unable to kill her, she inevitably becomes an object of utilization; anyone would choose to maintain good relations with her.

And Xu Xueqing is also seen as a "living immortal" by low-level cultivators. Because on the whole Spirit Phoenix Island, there is only this one Unification Stage cultivator willing to help low-level cultivators—they reason that "curing difficult ailments benefits my cultivation."

After Xu Xueqing entered the injured area, she scanned with divine thought and immediately identified the person she was looking for. She used a spell to mark a few individuals: "It's just these few people. Their deviation situation is somewhat interesting. Carry them to my place!"

Elder Xu's tone was joyful, as if feeling that the heavy loss of fellow cultivators on Spirit Phoenix Island was a great opportunity to improve her cultivation.

Behind her, a group of Core Formation Stage cultivators emerged, using mana to lift those marked low-level cultivators.

Wang Qi was naturally marked as well. He glanced at the disciple holding him up, forced a smile as if to say "thank you, Senior Brother," but the other didn't even give him a look. Before long, the group arrived at Xu Xueqing's residence, the Xinglin Building.

The Xinglin Building is also one of the library towers of the Heavenly Book Tower, housing over three hundred thousand volumes of medical books, including both mundane books like "Cold and Hot Formula" and "Acupuncture Soup Song," cultivation techniques like "Qingnang Scripture," and supreme techniques like "Longevity Scripture" and "Xinglin Spring."

After the Golden Core Stage cultivators sent the disciples they held into a basement, they all withdrew. Xu Xueqing entered the basement and waved her hand, releasing countless red spirit lights. These light groups gently entered the bodies of the many cultivators. Wang Qi felt his body as if immersed in warm water, very comfortable. Presumably, this method has excellent healing effects, although Wang Qi wasn't injured, so it's not evident.

Wang Qi nodded gently. This person named Xu Xueqing indeed has some skill in the Life Path, though not reaching the level of "Life Flame," which is akin to the essence of life, but somewhat similar in intent.

The emergence of "Life Flame" is also why healing-focused and not combat-skilled techniques like Immortal Rainbow Long Spring Path gradually disappeared in the Modern Immortal Path. The notion of "strengthening through healing others" itself uses the negative entropy process of the other from weak to strong, from death to life, to temper one's own mana. And Life Flame, already approaching the essence of life, is a manifestation of life's negative entropy, entirely exceeding the negative entropy of others' lives.

"However, this one light group seems to have other functions. Hmm, probably substituting the Four Examinations, checking within the other person..."

Just as Wang Qi was analyzing Xu Xueqing's Law Gate, she had already given new orders. She required everyone to come before her for diagnosis one by one, and after treatment, leave on their own, with no noise and no crowding.

Even if some people wanted to be treated first in their hearts, they dared not disobey the Unification Stage Great Cultivator's orders to cut in line. Many cultivators saw the line formed and simply sat down for meditation.

Wang Qi glanced at Xu Xueqing a few times. This Unification Stage Great Cultivator seemed to use some secret technique to mask her appearance; Wang Qi couldn't see clearly. However, her diagnostic method was very traditional, seemingly adherent to the principle of "Four Examinations." As an Unification Stage cultivator, her eyes must have been tempered countless times, cultivated to a degree of divine skill, allowing her to see through many things within others at a glance, while the scarlet light group from before substituted the "cutting" method.

Xu Xueqing diagnosed very quickly. She often asked a cultivator just a few questions, then cast a spell, and the cultivator was already healed. This process lasted only one or two minutes. However, she brought back quite a few people. Wang Qi wanted to wait until everyone left, so he had to wait for a while.

Wang Qi, as well, closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

Upon opening his eyes again, only a few people were left in the basement. Wang Qi walked over consciously and queued at the end. Soon, only Wang Qi and Xu Xueqing were left in the basement.

Wang Qi sat opposite Xu Xueqing. At this moment, he finally saw the appearance of this Heavenly Book Tower Body Integration Realm Elder and undercover agent of the Immortal Alliance through that mysterious Law Gate. She looked surprisingly young, only in her twenties. However, the sense of age she exuded was something a woman in her twenties could never have.

Before Wang Qi could speak, Xu Xueqing had already closed her eyes and said calmly, "You, sir, have quite the courage..."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Ah, then that's good to hear..."

"Is this how you are usually so impolite? Not even saluting when meeting an elder?"

Indeed, she's quite cautious. But, only such a person can remain undercover on Spirit Phoenix Island for a long time.

Wang Qi slightly bowed first, then said in a low voice, "Elder Xu, no need to be afraid, the Holy Emperor Venerable cannot detect here now."

Earlier, he had already expanded the Virtual Divine Country around Xinglin Building.

Xu Xueqing opened her eyes, revealing surprise. She then shook her head and said, "I still have to say, your courage is too great. Are you so sure I haven't betrayed 'you'?"

Xu Xueqing's words were equivalent to admitting her relationship with the Immortal Alliance. Wang Qi stood up and said, "Even if Elder Xu has defected, it doesn't matter. I have some techniques that can ensure I escape alive. It's just a failed task, and I don't need to rely on such a task to live."

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're also a genius disciple and core figure of the Immortal Alliance, not lacking resources, coming here purely for cultivation." Xu Xueqing nodded, "But now, your life is in my hands, and yet you are confident of leaving alive?"

Wang Qi raised an eyebrow, "That red Spirit Light earlier? Elder Xu is welcome to activate that Spirit Light and see whose life is in whose hands now."

Xu Xueqing shook her head, closed her eyes trying to retract that Spirit Light. To her, Wang Qi's response seemed like the arrogant words of a self-declared genius youngster, she didn't believe this guy could truly threaten her. Given her age, she had no need to bicker with a child. But when she tried to grasp it in the void, she couldn't retrieve her power.

What the hell! She could clearly sense her own power. It's like an angler holding a fishing rod, feeling a fish bite, but no matter how they reel in, the fish seems unaffected.

"What... is going on?" Xu Xueqing was shocked. If Wang Qi disrupted her Law or isolated her senses, she wouldn't be too surprised. But Wang Qi managed to control her Law Gate while maintaining her senses!

Doesn't this imply Wang Qi's mastery of spells far exceeds hers?

Impossible! Even if heterodox paths have limitless potential, currently they can't surpass Body Integration Realm at Core Formation Stage!

Wang Qi suddenly sighed, "A bit tired."

Then, he snapped his fingers. Several white double-helix light chains released from his body, as if his body was always bound by chains, now all unchained simultaneously. At this moment, a red glow leapt from Wang Qi's body, landing in Xu Xueqing's palm. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Xu Xueqing's eyes widened, "Is this... Primordial Spirit?"

When she joined the Modern faction centuries ago, cultivators from Tianling Ridge had guided her, she naturally remembered the aura of Tianling Ridge's Primordial Spirit!

This guy, is actually a Primordial Spirit Stage Grandmaster?

Wasn't it said that the one sent to eliminate the Ancient Method Immortal Sect was a Core Formation Cultivator? Has he quietly broken through to Primordial Spirit? But how did he hide the Primordial Spirit Omen?

Once the chains were completely broken, Wang Qi shook his head, "This isn't a Primordial Spirit, but rather the ability of a Virtual Primordial Spirit controlling Real Magic Power, temporarily giving me characteristics of the Primordial Spirit Stage."
