Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1908 - 1902: The Destination of the Cultivation Techniques

Although the ancient cave of Chi Yun had been known for some time, the suppressing formation had always prevented the elders from entering. Strictly speaking, this was their very first time stepping inside the ancient cave. As they gazed upon the familiar Bronze Great Hall, the elders were overcome with excitement. "This is indeed the Bronze Great Hall of the Chi Yun lineage; it bears a strong resemblance to our Lion Tiger Mountain, not much different," one exclaimed. "With the Chi Yun lineage revived, our Taoist sect gains a significant pillar of support."

As the elders entered the hall, their admiration overflowed, and they began to wander, taking in the sights. After a comprehensive examination, their attention was finally drawn to the numerous books stacked on both sides of the hall. These books represented the cultivation technique collections of the Chi Yun line. Centuries ago, Chi Yun was also a prominent Taoist sect, boasting a vast and comprehensive collection of cultivation techniques. These techniques could surely be classified and preserved, forming a magnificent library.

"Young friend, after breaking the formation, are all these cultivation techniques gathered here?" some elders asked Chen Yang, their hands excitedly touching the ancient texts. Chen Yang nodded in affirmation. "Aside from three cultivation techniques I possess, all the rest are here."

"Excellent! With this, we have enough cultivation techniques to establish another library!" The elders were beside themselves with joy, akin to a group of misers discovering a hoard of gold bars. Liu Taoist was equally thrilled, recognizing these as the crucial capital needed to revitalize the Chi Yun line. The primary reason their lineage had become so sparse and was on the verge of complete decline was the lack of cultivation techniques to enhance their power, preventing them from cultivating capable disciples. Only some feng shui studies and inherited formation cultivation techniques had led to their sect's eventual decay.

Now, with a wealth of cultivation techniques available, it was only a matter of time before they could re-establish the Chi Yun lineage sect. "Everyone, please be cautious. Observing is permitted, but attempting to steal techniques is forbidden. These all belong to me, so do not harbor any foolish intentions," Liu Taoist warned the other elders seriously after the initial wave of excitement subsided. Several elders, caught up in their excitement, had even picked up ancient texts and begun to open them. Upon hearing Liu Taoist's words, they froze in place.

"Uncle, must you be so stingy? There are so many cultivation techniques; surely you cannot use them all quickly. Why not allow us to peruse them first?" one elder inquired with a grin. Liu Taoist immediately rushed over and snatched the cultivation technique from his hands. "It's not about stinginess. You all should not covet these; I intend to take all of them today," Liu Taoist stated very sternly.

"What!" Upon hearing Liu Taoist's declaration, the elders were utterly shocked! It was as if a duck they were certain they would eat had suddenly taken flight. "Uncle, you intend to take all these cultivation techniques at once? This simply will not do! It's absolutely unacceptable!" After recovering from their astonishment, the elders immediately voiced their strong objections.

Liu Taoist retorted directly, "Why do you all have so many objections? As agreed, these have nothing to do with your Lion Tiger Observatory anymore; why are you still insisting? I said I'll take them, and I certainly will today." "With these, it won't take long for me to create a Taoist holy ground!" Liu Taoist's face was radiant with joy; his excitement and happiness were clearly visible. This reaction was understandable, as anyone in such a situation would find it difficult to remain calm.

"Oh dear Uncle, we do not mean to cause trouble, but it is truly inappropriate for you to take so many cultivation techniques at once. Do you grasp how severe the consequences could be?" "Indeed, they cannot be taken away; these cultivation techniques must remain on Lion Tiger Mountain. Under no circumstances can they descend the mountain." Liu Taoist was already displeased, but the elders remained undeterred and continued their persuasion. Just as both sides were on the verge of an argument, the Lion Tiger Sect Leader and Qin Feng also arrived.

The two of them had been closely monitoring the cave situation recently but had not been as excited as the other elders, choosing to remain at their residence. They only came to the hall together after a disciple reported that Chen Yang had departed the cave. The Lion Tiger Sect Leader, holding a dust whisk, exuded an immortal aura, and Qin Feng followed beside him, appearing exceptionally sacred. Upon entering the hall, they immediately surveyed their surroundings, and after a complete view of the hall, their focus shifted to Liu Taoist and the elders.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother! Elder Qin Feng!" The elders greeted the Lion Tiger Sect Leader and Elder Qin Feng.

"Xiao Li, Qin Feng, you’ve finally arrived. Look at your Lion Tiger Mountain disciples, why can’t they follow the rules? We had an agreement: after the legacy formation was broken, everything inside would belong to me. But now you’re preventing me from taking them away. What’s the meaning of this?" Taoist Liu immediately rushed to complain.

The Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect looked at the pile of cultivation techniques with a slight smile on his face.

"Uncle, regarding these cultivation techniques, we did make a promise to you. Everything inside is indeed yours, and our Lion Tiger Observatory certainly won't take even a single item. However, we never agreed to let you take them all away." The Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect said with a smile.

"What? Xiao Li, this is completely unreasonable! Are you playing word games with me?" Upon hearing this, Taoist Liu exploded.

"Uncle, please calm down. Let me first explain the pros and cons of this situation, alright?" The Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect had long anticipated Taoist Liu’s reaction and was not surprised.

"Fine, I will listen. But if your explanation doesn’t make sense, I’m taking them all." Taoist Liu stated.

"Very well." The Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect nodded with a smile and continued, "Uncle, once you take so many cultivation techniques down the mountain, have you considered the chaos it will cause?"

"Not to mention the various major forces, even lone cultivators would be itching to get their hands on them."

"Uncle, without any cultivation yourself, how can you possibly protect these cultivation techniques? Don’t you understand the principle that great wealth invites great trouble?"

"Furthermore, even if you could quickly recruit talented disciples, how could you possibly utilize such a vast array of cultivation techniques to their fullest extent?"

The words of the Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect left Taoist Liu speechless.

He was not ignorant of this principle either.

He possessed no cultivation, and currently had no disciples. Even if he took back such a vast collection of techniques, it would serve no purpose.

Instead, it would only bring about immense trouble.

"Uncle, in my humble opinion, all these cultivation techniques should remain here on Lion Tiger Mountain. You can take a portion with you for now. When your Taoist field reaches a certain scale and can properly safeguard the remaining techniques, I will most certainly return them. What do you think of this proposal?" The Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect added.

"Old man, this is the plan I discussed with the Sect Leader. You absolutely cannot take all these cultivation techniques at once." Qin Feng also voiced his support for the Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect at this moment.

Taoist Liu was not an unreasonable person. Upon hearing the words of the Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect, his attitude softened slightly.

"Is this statement true?"

"Of course, it is true. The legacy of our Lion Tiger Observatory is intrinsically linked with Chi Yun’s lineage. Do you believe we have any particular desire for these ancient texts?" The Leader of the Lion Tiger Sect said with a smile.

"Indeed, the essence of our lineage lies in formations. This crucial aspect has been noted by young Chen Yang." Taoist Liu chuckled and then agreed, "Very well, I shall take a portion first. The remainder will stay here under your care. I will return to collect them when the opportunity arises."

Once Taoist Liu agreed, the tension in the atmosphere immediately dissipated.

"That’s right, Uncle. This is the correct choice. Such an extensive collection of techniques, once taken down the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Uncle shows great reason and is a model among us."
