Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Of course, you have treated me very well, you could even say that you have given me a second life."

In any case, if it weren't for the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" he provided, he wouldn't have had the foundation for cultivation, let alone be able to activate the keyboard system.

"You're a grateful kid; all my efforts weren't in vain." Old Man Mi nodded with satisfaction.

Zuan couldn't help but feel curious. What exactly was he trying to do by saying all this?

Old Man Mi continued, "You heard our conversation just now. I have no adopted son or successor in my life. In a way, you can say that you are my adopted son and my successor."

Seeing that he was on his deathbed and his voice was weak, Zu An's heart softened: "Senior, I will never forget your great kindness. If you don't mind, I can take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

"It's rare to find someone with such filial piety," Old Man Mi laughed heartily, "but unfortunately, I don't have that kind of good fortune."

"Is your injury really that serious, senior? With your cultivation level, you should be able to recover after a period of rest, right?" Zu An even considered providing him with healing medicine. He had a red bottle that could restore health instantly, as well as Ji Dengtu's holy healing medicine, "Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill," which should be able to cure his injuries.

However, considering the scene of Old Man Mi and Wei Dan plotting against each other, and some speculations he had made recently, he decided to wait a little longer. In any case, as long as he had his last breath, there was a way to save him.

“It’s no use. I know my injuries best,” Old Man Mi continued. “Don’t waste any more time. I want to use this last bit of time to pass on all my knowledge to you. That way, even if I die, someone will remember my existence through you.”

Zu An frowned and said, "Senior, you should heal your injuries first. We can talk about the teachings later."

"Not bad, not bad, you've got some nerve, I wasn't wrong about you." Old Man Mi's smile suddenly turned serious. "But don't refuse now, lest you suffer the consequences of not taking what Heaven has given you."

Zuan could only say, "Thank you, senior!"

“Listen carefully,” Old Man Mi said, sitting on the ground, panting. “I have already taught you my most prized skill, ‘Sunflower Illusion,’ as well as ‘Sunflower Finger.’ Remember the incantation.”

"When the yang energy of heaven and earth arises, calm your mind and spirit, let go of all distracting thoughts, and visualize a celestial maiden bringing incense. Vital energy will then arise from the dantian (lower abdomen), and..."

Seeing that the other party was really teaching him the technique, Zu An hurriedly cleared his mind of distractions and carefully wrote down the incantation. At the same time, he secretly pondered and savored it, and found it to be profound and extensive.

After Old Man Mi finished speaking, he asked, "The incantation has been finished. How much of it have you memorized?"

"I've memorized it all," Zu'an replied instinctively.

"You remember everything?" Old Man Mi frowned. "How is that possible? Young man, don't lie. While I'm still alive, ask me quickly if there's anything you can't remember."

Zuan was startled, knowing that his superior talent allowed him to learn anything quickly, but Old Man Mi was unaware of this.

Remembering Jiang Luofu's warning, he dared not reveal the matter and hurriedly said, "Actually, I only remembered half of it."

"50%?" Old Man Mi snorted. "If there's such a big difference, what were you talking about earlier!"

Perhaps realizing that his words were a bit harsh, he softened his tone: "Actually, given your aptitude, it's not bad to understand even half of it. Cheer up, I'll explain it a few more times, you must remember it completely."

"Okay." Zuan gave a shy smile, but in his heart he wondered, since the other party was already aware that he was about to die, did he really have so much time to explain and repeat to me over and over again?

Next, Old Man Mi repeated the "Sunflower Finger" mantra several times, while also explaining some of its difficulties.

Zuan had heard it several times and knew it by heart. He even felt that if he were to use it now, even if its power was far inferior to his opponent's, he would probably be able to use "Sunflower Finger".

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a fawning smile, "Senior, the move you used to escape from Wei Dan's Heavenly Net was really cool! Every footprint you made could sprout a lotus flower."

Old Man Mi laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you're trying to subtly hint that I should teach you this technique. Humph, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that your cultivation level is too low, and this skill is too far beyond your reach. Even if I taught you, you wouldn't be able to learn it."

"How will I know if I don't try? Maybe I'll be a genius and learn it?" Just thinking about how cool that move would be, Zu'an's mouth watered. If he learned it and showed it off in front of a bunch of girls, even the Ice Queen would have hearts in her eyes.

Of course, with his handsome and dashing appearance, he doesn't actually need this to win anyone over, but having more skills is never a bad thing.

Seeing that Old Man Mi was still hesitating, Zu An hurriedly said, "Didn't you want me to pass on your unique skills, senior? How can we forget the most powerful one, 'Lotus Step by Step'?"

“What you say makes sense,” Old Man Mi sighed. “Alright, I will pass on this ‘Lotus Steps’ technique to you.”

"However, this skill is not something you can comprehend right now. Here's what I'll do: I'll imprint this skill into a wisp of divine consciousness and then implant it into your body. That way, once your cultivation reaches a certain level, this skill will automatically appear in your mind."

Zuan was taken aback. Did it have to be this complicated?

The thought of the other person's consciousness entering his body always made him subconsciously resistant, but the allure of walking on lotus blossoms made it hard for him to refuse.

At this moment, Old Man Mi slowly stood up and shakily came to his side. A purple light emanated from his fingertips, as if there was a seed on them, and a small sunflower could be faintly seen on the seed.
