The two stood face to face, looking attentive.

The valley seemed to have frozen, the trees no longer shook, and even the insects, birds and beasts seemed to have disappeared, and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

After a long time, the old man spoke first, "Boy, I am indeed somewhat interested in you."

Zhou Shu slightly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

A flash of light flashed in the old man's eyes, "I have seen many Pulse Condensation Realm cultivators who defeated the Golden Core Realm, but none of them were like you. They completely overwhelmed their opponents. The two Golden Cores are not mediocre either. In a short time,

It’s really strange that he died and escaped at the same time.”

The old man gave Zhou Shu a thoughtful look and continued, "Although your sword intention is excellent, it can only turn the sword according to your heart. Many people in the Pulse Condensation Realm can do it. Although your magic weapon is of the highest quality, it is not possible to cultivate the Pulse Condensation Realm."

It is absolutely impossible for a person to fully exert the power of the best magic weapon, let alone to the extent like you...right?"

Zhou Shu remained silent. He seemed to understand somewhat what the old man wanted.

"Everything is impossible, so what is the reason why you have such strength?"

The old man shook his head slightly, "Either you are gifted, and your ancestors were divine beasts that transformed into humans, so you have a special bloodline, so it is not surprising that the Pulse Condensation Realm is stronger than the Golden Core Realm, or you have taken something similar.

The elixir of Barrier Pill forcibly consumes the body's essence to obtain a short-term burst of strength... But I really can't tell these two points. Your body is no different from ordinary people. Except that it has been refined outside the body, it is a little bit like a mythical beast.

It’s not related, and the spirit and energy are full, and the essence is intact.”

He paused for a while and said calmly, "Then there is only one possibility. You have practiced some special method and can greatly increase your strength in a period of time, even by ten times, thus surpassing the golden elixir realm.

, and it won’t cause much harm to myself.”

He looked directly at Zhou Shu with bright eyes, as if he wanted to pierce Zhou Shu's heart.

Faced with such a look, Zhou Shu looked indifferent, "Not to mention whether the junior has it, but the senior has such a cultivation level, is he still interested in the junior's method?"

The old man was well-informed and spoke eloquently. He had no reason to refute, so he asked questions in an attempt to understand the old man's intentions.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "A method that can increase power ten times with very little loss is extremely rare even in the eyes of monks. Not to mention that you, a Pulse Condensation Realm cultivator, can learn and use it. Of course you are interested."

Zhou Shu spread his hands, showing a bit of helplessness, "Oh, but I heard, this junior, that the Yuan Power cultivated by the monks is different from the spiritual power used by the juniors, so the seniors cannot use the skills of the juniors."

This is the case for most mental techniques and techniques. Each level of cultivators has their own techniques and techniques, and the fundamental power of the monks has become Yuan Li. Naturally, it is not suitable to use the practitioners' spiritual power techniques. Of course, if you step on

Except for the Sea Technique, Zhou Shu knew when he was practicing that the Sea Treading Technique that Master Ta Hai worked so hard to achieve is extremely special, it is compatible with Yuanli and spiritual power, and can be used until the end.

"Of course I don't know how to learn this."

The old man said suddenly, "But I have a young disciple who is in the foundation-building stage and is in great need of techniques like yours to lay the foundation."

Zhou Shu just smiled and said, "Haha."

The old man said it bluntly, his intention couldn't be more obvious, he just wanted his Sea-Treading Technique.

"Although I want it, you don't have to worry about it. I won't bully the small ones, regardless of whether you are a cultivator in Wushuang City or not."

The old man took a few steps and said slowly, "You have very good magic techniques and top-quality magic weapons. You have even been recognized by Wushuang City. You are indeed a genius with a bright future, but the road to practice is so difficult. I have seen

It is a pity that many geniuses no less than yours have died on the way and have lost their former glory."

He glanced at Zhou Shu, showing some seriousness in his words, "The most important thing for a practitioner is to make continuous progress. If you are limited by the shackles and stop moving forward, sooner or later you will be like them."

Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "Senior is right."

"Considering your age, your cultivation level is still too low. You must not have many resources to practice? If you were in a big sect, you would definitely be in the Golden Core realm by now. It's a pity."

The old man shook his head slightly, and a light flashed in his eyes, "But it's not too late to fix the problem. I can give you a cave to practice, and I will ensure that there are enough spiritual objects every day, as well as Qingling Pill, Yuanxin Pill and other rare things.

The elixir will assist you. In addition, I have treasured a futon made of thousand-year-old Yunling Jade, which can be given to you to form an elixir for use. You should know its benefits, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shu couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Obviously, what the old man said was actually making conditions in exchange for the Sea-Treading Technique.

It's just that he doesn't care about caves, spiritual objects, and elixirs. The reason why he has not broken through to the second level of the Pulse Condensation Realm is because he is preparing for elixir formation. It is not because of insufficient cultivation conditions. He has the third level of Sea-Stepping Art.

After a change, cultivation was not a big problem at all, but the Thousand Years Yunling Jade made Zhou Shu a little excited.

There are many auxiliary methods for cultivators to form elixirs, such as the stone milk obtained before, the Tianxin Fruit, etc., and the Millennium Yunling Jade is one of them.

Yun Ling Jade is a unique kind of jade. Sitting on it to form elixirs makes it easier for the body and mind to understand the way of heaven and integrate heaven and earth, which is very helpful for forming elixirs.

But it was just a little bit of excitement. Zhou Shu knew very well that with these things, it was impossible to change to a method like the Sea-Stepping Technique.

The old man would not fail to understand this, but the conditions he offered were still so few, so there was no need to go on. If there were good enough conditions, Zhou Shu would not mind giving away the Sea-Stepping Art in exchange, but these would definitely not work.

Zhou Shu smiled calmly, "Seniors are so kind and loving, but I'm afraid I can't afford it."

The old man's expression was determined, and the anger in his eyes flashed away, "Oh, I have said so much, is this how you reply to me?"

Zhou Shu sighed slightly, "It's not that I don't want to do it. I don't own the secret. When I got it, I also swore that I couldn't allow it and couldn't teach it privately, otherwise I would die miserably. I can only express my regret to my senior."

"Haha, do you think I will believe it?"

The old man smiled, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, which radiated out unconsciously, and the entire valley suddenly felt as cold as winter.

Zhou Shu felt chills all over his body and was about to tremble. He tried to hold it back, but there was still a smile on his face, "Senior, do you have to use force? But the secret is hidden in this junior's heart. As long as this junior doesn't want to say it, he can grab it."

It can’t be taken away.”

The old man took a step forward, and a pressure like a towering mountain came over him. Zhou Shu couldn't hold it back at all, so he couldn't help but take a few big steps back, unable to stand still.

"I've wasted too much time and don't want to say more. If you want to leave safely, just hand over your magic formula or die."

His voice suddenly turned cold, like a knife slashing back and forth, causing Zhou Shu to feel waves of bone-piercing pain.

"Senior, this junior is from Wushuang City..."
