Chapter 224: The True Man’s Words (1)

As Xi Jing and the others expected, the auction arrived.

Han Yueshan asked curiously, "Senior Sister, how many spirit stones do you have?"

Tao Zi took out a black ring.

"Hmm? What is this?"

"Storage ring."

She touched the ring. Although it was not as good as the storage device given by the little fox, it was still pretty good.

Xi Jing suddenly realized something and said in shock, "Could all of this be spiritual stones?"

She nodded.

Li Xiu murmured, "How many lives does your friend owe you?"

Tao Zi handed the ring and a list to Xi Jing and said, "Xi Jing, everything Senior Sister wants to buy is in here. Remember to buy these first, and you can arrange the rest yourself."

They looked at her in surprise. Li Xiu sat up straight and asked, "Tao Mei, aren't you going?"

"I have set a date with the Thousand Needle Doctor. It's today."

Xi Jing and the others were quite hesitant, so Tao Zi comforted them, "An Ran will go with you. With the Cheng family's reputation, few people would dare to deliberately raise the price."

To be honest, none of the items at the auction excited her, and the martial arts she chose was okay, but not the best.

She sighed secretly and said, "These skills are only for a short period of time. They will need to be replaced sooner or later. There is no need to be too nervous."

They nodded hesitantly.

She turned her head to look at the Flower Monk and said, "Flower Monk, please keep an eye on these three."

"no problem."

Li Xiu suddenly said, "I won't go. I'll just watch over my master from the side."

Tao Zi thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."

Xi Jing complained, "Brother Li, you are a bit too malicious towards your master."

Is this because he has too many malicious intentions? It is obvious that Tao Mei has too many secrets, and it is impossible to feel at ease if he does not keep an eye on her.

He sat there thinking this, too lazy to pay attention to those guys whose brains got stuck when they came across Tao Zi.

After watching them and Cheng Anran happily get on the Cheng family carriage, Tao Zi turned around and prepared to leave, but Cheng Anyue called out to her, "Miss Tao, please stay."

She tilted her head to look at him: "What's wrong?"

He said, "The ancestors invite you."

Tao Zi frowned, and Li Xiu said on the side: "We have an appointment with the Thousand Needle Doctor."

Cheng Anyue smiled gently and said, "Your master is also with our ancestors."

The two looked at each other and followed.

When they got there, Cheng Wuchou and Qianzhen Yishou were sitting and chatting, with a Jindan standing next to them. He lowered his head and was quite respectful.

Cheng Wuchou looked up and saw the door, pointed to the two seats beside him and said, "Sit down."

After we sat down, someone came forward to pour tea.

Tao Zi asked, "What's the matter, Master Cheng?"

He smiled and said, "About your advancement."

"But it's okay."

Cheng Wuchou asked, "May I ask if you were a golden elixir before?"

Li Xiu was drinking tea and choked when she heard this.

Golden Core? If he remembered correctly, then Yue Qiran... No, he couldn't even think about it. Anyone who fell off the Xingfeng Peak would have no chance of survival!

The Thousand Needle Doctor looked at his startled apprentice and said helplessly, "It's not a small amount of Golden Elixirs, why are you so surprised?"

He forced a smile and didn't want to answer this question. He felt a sense of vicissitudes of life, as if he was the only one sober while the world was drunk.

At this time, Yue Qingya received the news and rushed over.

She looked at her friends who had come running over, and then said, "Yes, I was indeed a Jindan before."

Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "Then it matches the method I know."

"What method?"

He said something shocking: "The Spring and Autumn Sect has a unique technique that allows those in the Golden Core Stage to cultivate two bodies, each of which can be used for independent cultivation."

Li Xiu was shocked and said, "This technique is too incredible."

Tao Zi said calmly: "There are gains and losses."

Yue Qingya even pointed out that something was wrong: "After the Nascent Soul stage, the soul can leave the body. How can the Golden Core stage control two bodies?"

"Yes, a practitioner cannot use two bodies at the same time."

Li Xiu decisively commented: "Then this technique is useless."

Cheng Wuchou smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, when on the verge of death, using a special method to merge two bodies into one can alleviate the injuries and perhaps even save a life. This is a special treatment method."

Tao Zi suddenly clenched her teacup and said word by word, "If I swallow something highly poisonous, can it also reduce the effects of the poison?"

"certainly."

She stared at the teacup, thinking of her throat, the toxin whose onset time had changed, and the spiritual vein that should have been completely destroyed.

The truth seemed to be staring at her just one step away.

Yue Qingya saw her expression and understood immediately. He asked, "Is there any drawback to this method?"

Cheng Wuchou slowly uttered a sentence: "It is impossible to become a Nascent Soul, unless there is help from a powerful being in the Spiritualization Stage or even the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but this is almost impossible."

Tao Zi closed her eyes. This turned out to be the reason why she hadn't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet.

Cheng Wuchou continued, "If two bodies practice different ways, there is only one possibility for them to merge into one."

"What?"

"The cultivation of one of the bodies was completely destroyed."

Tao Zi whispered, "How can we determine whether we have mastered this technique?"

Cheng Wuchou looked at the Jindan cultivator.

He stepped forward and said, "This type of technique is extremely special. After the two bodies merge, the destiny revealed will be different from that of ordinary people. If Daoist Tao doesn't mind, I can explore your destiny, but I will only explore your destiny and nothing else."

"Okay." Tao Zi agreed without hesitation.

An eight-diagram plate appeared in Jindan Zhenren's hand, and streams of spiritual energy poured into the plate. A white silk thread wrapped around Tao Zi's fingers.

After about half an hour, he took back the Bagua plate, but his expression was a little strange.

Yue Qingya asked, "What's wrong?"

"Judging from his fate, Fellow Daoist Tao has indeed used the secret techniques of the Spring and Autumn Sect."

Tao Zi lowered her eyes and laughed suddenly.

Li Xiu was shocked and said, "Physical cultivation is different from Taoist cultivation. Taoist cultivation cannot advance, but physical cultivation should be fine. Master, am I right?"

The Thousand Needle Doctor said, "I'm not sure about that."

Li Xiu looked at her worriedly, but Tao Zi didn't say anything.

Without much need for careful speculation, she knew what she was thinking at the time - the person behind the scenes would not allow her to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so it would be better to give up her cultivation in exchange for other opportunities.

Two bodies, one to confuse the person behind the scenes, and one to investigate the truth.

However, she did not mention this on the note. Why?

Tao Zi forced herself to give up thinking about this matter and turned to look at Zhenren, saying, "Zhenren, judging from your expression, it seems that there is something else?"

Jindan Zhenren hesitated for a moment, and Cheng Wuchou said, "Just speak frankly."

He then said, "This fellow Taoist has a very peculiar fate."

"What's so special about it?"

He hesitated and said, "Someone is trying to change your fate—more than one person."
