Unbeknownst to anyone, Xu Qing's disguise had already infiltrated the Pure Yang Dao Sect for three years. During this time, he had been free to roam within Yuyang Cave Heaven, but True Monarch Yuyang had never once given him any guidance on cultivation.
Xu Qing could not ascertain whether the other had discovered his secret or harbored other intentions.
Actually, Xu Qing felt that it was highly likely his secret had been discovered.
Xu Qing undertook this venture primarily to gauge the Pure Yang Dao Sect's stance. If he could pass unnoticed, it would suggest that the sect had no intentions toward the Pure Yang Realm or the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and might not even care about their affairs.
So far, the outcome seemed to be progressing favorably.
On the other hand, should his disguise encounter problems within the Pure Yang Dao Sect, Xu Qing was definitely prepared to make a run for it.
Xu Qing initially thought his disguise needed to linger until the Four Great Daoist Sects' Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference convened.
Unexpectedly, as soon as three years passed, True Monarch Yuyang summoned him once again.
"Li Qing, you've been here with me for three years. How do you feel?" True Monarch Yuyang inquired of Xu Qing's disguise, Li Qing.
Li Qing was the alias used by Xu Qing.
In the cultivation world, who doesn't use a pseudonym when out and about?
Those who dare to reveal their true names are exceptional beings, unafraid of being cursed or something of the sort...
Alright, even big figures enjoy using pseudonyms.
Some bigshots even use female pseudonyms to attract followers and achieve their goals.
For example, the Heavenly Lord of Deliverance from Misery and Guanyin Bodhisattva, both save people from suffering, delivering all sentient beings. Yet in Xu Qing's previous life, the fame of the Heavenly Lord was not as great as Guanyin's.
If the gender were switched...
A fleeting thought crossed Xu Qing's mind, and then he replied earnestly to True Monarch Yuyang, "This place is a thousand times better than the Pure Yang Realm."
True Monarch Yuyang laughed heartily, "Overstated, it's overstated."
He paused slightly, then continued, "During these three years, it wasn't intentional neglect on my part, but rather other pressing matters. Now that I'm free, I can teach you your sect's mental method. Since your original path leaned toward the soul path, this method is to compensate for your deficiencies, so listen carefully…"
True Monarch Yuyang chanted the profound sound of the Great Dao.
Xu Qing's disguise listened attentively.
This mental method was a body-tempering and foundation-building Cultivation Technique, named Qingmu Longevity Technique.
…
…
Chaotian Temple.
"Temple Master, can you manage it or not?" Xu Qing was intensively tutoring the old Temple Master in the cultivation secrets of the Qingmu Longevity Technique.
After all, the disguise that infiltrated the Pure Yang Dao Sect came as the old Temple Master's Heavenly Demon Transformation, so it lacked its own cultivation ability.
To show the effect of cultivating the Qingmu Longevity Technique, effort had to be applied at the source, the old Temple Master.
"I guess I can." The old Temple Master stammered.
"You either can or you can't, what's with the 'I guess'…" Xu Qing couldn't help but retort.
The old Temple Master coughed, "Gongming, I'm old and my comprehension isn't as good as yours. Why urge me so?"
Seeing the old man's deflection, Xu Qing couldn't help but frown: "Temple Master, that kid can only help you cultivate, brace yourself."
The old Temple Master was about to reply when Xu Qing's Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand already pointed out an Innate Finger.
This Innate Finger and the Qingmu Longevity Technique share the same origin, focusing on cultivating Innate Qi to strengthen the body.
However, using the Innate Finger to aid cultivation and open blockages involves suffering pain unimaginable to ordinary people.
Originally, Xu Qing didn't plan to resort to this, but the old Temple Master wasn't diligent.
With Xu Qing's help, the old Temple Master's cultivation progress greatly accelerated.
In less than half a year, he had mastered the basics of the Qingmu Longevity Technique, and his body showed a profound transformation, as though a Daoist Body had been forged.
And the old Temple Master successfully transformed from a Ghost Immortal to a Primordial Spirit Earth Immortal.
"The Qingmu Longevity Technique is indeed formidable." Xu Qing had to admit, the Pure Yang Dao Sect truly had substantial resources.
The Purple Mansion Golden Core Mysterious Skill he co-created with Xiong Chan and others was also a Mystical Sect technique, yet in terms of subtlety, it paled in comparison to the Qingmu Longevity Technique.
After all, the Purple Mansion Golden Core Technique is derived from the Purple Mansion Primordial Sect, which is essentially the open source code for the Golden Core Righteous Method, while the Qingmu Longevity Technique reconstructs an incredibly delicate and practical system on the foundation of the Golden Core Righteous Method.
Through comprehending the Qingmu Longevity Technique, Xu Qing gained a deeper understanding of the Purple Mansion Golden Core Technique.
"Cultivating the Qingmu Longevity Technique, unless there is someone like me who selflessly aids by opening the mysteries, requires extremely potent spiritual pills and elixirs as assistance. Otherwise, cultivation progress is very slow. But the advantage of this technique lies in its stability, and following the steps, one's cultivation naturally improves…"
Xu Qing also thought, this Qingmu Longevity Technique is surplus in supplementing the foundation, but obviously not a combat-oriented spell, probably of no use in the Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference.
What is True Monarch Yuyang's purpose in teaching him this technique?
Fortunately, Xu Qing's disguise soon received another summons from True Monarch Yuyang.
True Monarch Yuyang glanced at Xu Qing's disguise, slightly surprised, "Your progress is so fast?"
"I was just muddling through."
"Since you've already used the Qingmu Longevity Technique to cultivate your Yin God into a Primordial Spirit, you can learn our Pure Yang Dao Sect's swordsmanship. But before that, I need to consult with Senior Brother."
…
…
In the Pure Yang Hall where True Monarch Changchun presided, True Monarch Yuyang spoke of the minor Taoist Li Qing from the Pure Yang Realm.
"Senior Brother, what do you think about this matter?"
"What does Junior Brother mean?"
True Monarch Yuyang sighed slightly, "If not for the ancestor's instructions, such a peculiar character, I would not feel at ease leaving him in the sect."
True Monarch Changchun smiled slightly, then said meaningfully, "To see strange things as not strange, naturally makes the strange disappear."
