Inside the barrier at night.

"What? You said you've finished practicing everything?" Old Long asked in surprise. "You're kidding me, aren't you?"

"Oh, look if you don't believe me," Sui Xin said without further explanation, and immediately started operating the route map.

He practiced for a whole day without rest, and finally completed the eighteen cycles, becoming extremely proficient.

Almost instantly, spiritual energy gathered around his eyes, and a glint of light flashed in his bloodshot eyes.

The golden lightning pattern in the center is particularly eye-catching, surrounded by some points of light like stars, and faint transparent runes emerge from the corners of the eyes, making it look extremely profound.

"It really is true," Long Jin's eyes widened. Seeing is believing, and now he could only believe it.

"Ahem, you've got some skills, kid. You're only a little slower than I was back then," Old Long said shamelessly.

The main reason for saying this is to prevent Suixin from becoming too arrogant; saving face is definitely secondary.

"Old Dragon, stop talking, give me the second chapter of cultivation, I can't wait any longer," Sui Xin said. Just thinking that he could see Yun'er as soon as he mastered the Thousand Faces Technique, he didn't want to waste any time.

The old man shook his head and could only helplessly give him the method to wake him up.

Sui Xin is good in every way, but her weakness is too obvious. Anyone can see it, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Having obtained the cultivation manual, Sui Xin immediately sat down and began to study it.

"Don't get obsessed. The fundamental purpose of the Awakening Technique is for awakening. When you cultivate, you need to think about the direction in which you might awaken. This process can only be done by yourself, understand?"

The old man pointed out the clues.

"Okay, I know," he said impatiently, his eyes never leaving the pages of the book.

The second part, "Wonderful Methods," mainly covers some basic uses of the Eye of Destiny, encompassing many aspects, including concealing one's cultivation level, masking one's aura, seeing through illusions, and enhancing memory, among others.

Although these abilities are very basic and most cultivators possess some of them, with the blessing of the Eye of Destiny, their actual effects will be a hundred times greater.

For example, when it comes to concealing one's cultivation level, an ordinary disciple might only be able to deceive a cultivator at the same level, but if they use it at will, they can at least deceive a cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm, which is a world of difference.

The Thousand Faces technique is one of the methods for concealing one's aura. It consumes very little spiritual energy and can be maintained almost indefinitely. In addition, it can change one's aura according to the cultivator's choice, making it a very practical skill.

According to records, once the Thousand Faces cultivation is successful, a spiritual mask can be formed on the cultivator's face to conceal their aura.

The specific shape can actually be changed on its own; it can certainly be condensed into a pair of glasses.

Sui Xin naturally chose a mask, but he couldn't let Xi Yun see him, otherwise what would be the point of doing all this?

The old man lay on one side, legs crossed, humming a song, his eyes gazing at the sky, lost in thought.

"Hiss!" Sui Xin suddenly dropped the cultivation technique, clutched his chest, and turned pale.

It's that long-lost pain again. I thought it was gone a few days ago because I didn't feel it, but I didn't expect it to come back today.

"What's wrong?" Elder Long walked over and asked.

"I don't know either, it's just..." he explained to Elder Long in general terms.

After thinking for a moment, Elder Long said, "It's probably a consequence of what you foresaw before."

He then said seriously, "Remember, before you become strong enough, never delve too deeply into precognitive dreams. If one occurs, stop it immediately, or the situation may get worse."

Sui Xin's strength is too weak. Even with the Awakening Technique, it may not be able to completely offset the side effects. The safest way is to not look at the future.

"Oh, okay," Sui Xin nodded and continued reading, remembering what Elder Long had said.

The practice of the Thousand Faces Technique seemed simpler than yesterday's. Before ten o'clock, I sat down and began to practice. I had already grasped the basics of the theory and memorized a few other potentially useful techniques.

Time passed second by second.

Later, the old man also left. Sui Xin did not withdraw from cultivation, but felt her consciousness slowly returning. The familiar coldness permeated the air, and all was quiet.

...

The next morning, Zheng Qiao was still finalizing the selections when six or seven disciples at the peak of the True Essence Realm stood before him.

According to the agreement with the Sword Sect, the disciples who went this time were mainly of two types: one type was disciples at the early stage of the True Essence Realm; the other type was disciples at the peak of the True Essence Realm.

The disciples in front of me are among the most outstanding, but I am still a little hesitant to let them go.

“Senior, please let us go,” a disciple said. “From childhood to adulthood, we have rarely left the Xuanyu Sect except to take on missions. This is also a great opportunity for us to hone ourselves.”

The disciple's voice sounded somewhat familiar. Looking in the direction of the voice, there was a familiar face, gentle and refined, with a dignified appearance.

He is Li Tianyu, the disciple who shot him with a slingshot when he went up the mountain at will. He is Li Haoran's grandson.

He is already thirty years old this year, but due to some reasons, he has not cultivated for about ten years. Moreover, if he were to have his bone age measured now, he would only be about twenty-one years old.

These matters were known only to the sect's higher-ups. None of the disciples, including Fang Tong, knew about them.

He was perceptive and, seeing Zheng Qiao's hesitation, he roughly guessed that it was because he was worried about his disciples.

"Yes, senior, I'd also like to visit the Sword Sect and see how their disciples are doing."

Next, Fang Tong spoke. Although he had no background and seemed somewhat dull, his talent for cultivation was terrifying, even Zheng Qiao praised him highly.
