The reason why heretical practitioners are universally condemned is not because their practices are ineffective.
There is no distinction between superior and inferior cultivation methods; even unorthodox methods are part of the great path.
The main problem is that heretical practitioners are too good at robbing people.
This was the first time Xia Muge had ever taken something from someone else in this world.
The stolen goods were indeed quite good.
He opened the storage ring in his space and found many jade slips engraved with cultivation techniques.
The vast majority of these techniques were stolen by evil cultivators, and there are similar records on Mount Qingcheng.
Although Qingcheng Mountain has only a thousand-year history, it still has a rich cultural heritage.
The cultivation methods of Taoist practitioners are not recorded in books, but are similar to memory modules. They can be accessed simply by using their divine sense to read the methods within the jade slips.
These jade slips not only record the content of the cultivation methods, but also the insights gained by ancient sages in practicing these methods. This greatly helps later practitioners absorb the knowledge of the cultivation methods.
However, this is not without its drawbacks.
The insights of the sages are, after all, those of the sages, and the sages are not necessarily without fault.
His insights were his own, and while later learners had reduced learning costs due to the jade slip, they were also subject to learning limits.
After all, there are very few people who can surpass their teachers.
Therefore, many people who rely on jade slips to learn are likely to be less accomplished in this technique than the sages of the past.
Of course, this meant nothing to Xia Muge.
He doesn't actually intend to become an immortal here.
He quickly learned all these techniques using the jade slips.
The insights of the sages filled his mind, and he learned all kinds of techniques, whether demonic or orthodox.
Of course, learning these things only provides theoretical knowledge; the key is still practice.
Besides the cultivation techniques, this heretical cultivator had many other things.
I won't go into the details of jade pendants that represent status.
There are also many magical artifacts, talismans, and magical treasures.
Clearly, this heretical practitioner has some skills.
He even saw a jade tablet belonging to a direct disciple of the Holy Land. This meant that a direct disciple of the Holy Land had died at the hands of this heretical cultivator.
Thinking about this, Xia Muge couldn't help but feel that this person had some skills.
In addition, there are elixirs, talismans, and so on.
They were incredibly wealthy.
Xia Muge could naturally treat these as unexpected windfalls.
He was extremely satisfied.
Satisfied, Xia Muge left the place, only to realize belatedly that the evil cultivator he had killed was just a stepping stone for the protagonist.
That's right, Xu Feng also had stepping stones.
To be precise, in the storyline, Xia Qingshuang was seriously injured after being targeted by an evil cultivator in her attempt to obtain the treasure-hunting beast.
That's when Xu Feng got his chance.
After gaining Xia Qingshuang's favor, Xu Feng once again sought out this evil cultivator.
To be precise, it was this heretical practitioner who took the initiative to appear.
At that time, this evil cultivator was already preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but he had no chance of breaking through through normal means and needed other people's spiritual roots as stepping stones.
And these good things naturally become the main focus.
Xia Muge still remembered that the protagonist seemed to have obtained a cultivation technique called "Azure Sky Technique" from this evil cultivator.
This technique is a top-tier technique unique to the Azure Dragon Holy Land.
Later, the protagonist used this move at the Azure Dragon Holy Land and was considered by the Azure Dragon Holy Land to be the destined successor of the Holy Land. At that time, the Holy Son of the Azure Dragon Holy Land perished, which was therefore considered a preordained coincidence.
In fact, it was Xu Feng who killed this holy son.
Of course, the protagonist cannot have any flaws; it was the Holy Son who harassed Xu Feng's woman first, which is why he ended up like this.
He then inherited the other holy sites in the same way.
Now that the "Azure Sky Technique" has become his cultivation method, Xia Muge couldn't help but find it amusing.
However, he knew that he was ultimately cannon fodder, and even if he learned this technique, he would not have the same opportunities as the protagonist.
But that doesn't matter, Xia Muge just felt that he could take what the protagonist had.
I don't ask for too much.
Although the system did not display the so-called luck value, he felt that the protagonist must be feeling very uncomfortable right now.
…
…
Xu Feng was in a very bad mood.
In a way, he sensed that something that belonged to him was being lost.
He couldn't figure out what it was, but a feeling of irritation arose within him.
Those who cultivate the Tao value this feeling highly.
Intuition connects with the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven can glimpse the past and the future.
This feeling might stem from the fact that something that rightfully belonged to him has been taken away, but he simply doesn't realize it yet.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel even more frustrated.
Most importantly, he felt that his things had been stolen, but he didn't realize it at all.
He had no chance to obtain divine-level pills or treasure-hunting beasts.
Although Xu Feng is backed by the Yunhuan Holy Land, the Holy Land has not poured all its resources into him.
He suspected that some of the Holy Land's competitors had stolen what was rightfully his.
This is the most likely scenario.
He knew that several disciples in the Holy Land disliked him.
However, for something to cause him such distress, it must be very important to him.
However, it seems unlikely that we can get that thing back anytime soon.
The treasure-hunting beast was extremely important to him, and Xu Feng couldn't leave for the time being.
He needs to refine a medicine.
This medicine is called Tianji Dan, and its effect is to help one comprehend the Dao and glimpse the secrets of heaven.
For Xu Feng, this was very helpful for his cultivation.
With this elixir, his future ascension to immortality is just around the corner.
At this point, Xu Feng naturally had no choice but to temporarily abandon that unknown thing.
Little did he know that he would gain nothing from this operation.
…
…
Jiangning City is becoming more and more lively.
Looking at the vast city, Xia Muge couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
Because of the divine-grade elixir, more than four thousand cultivators gathered in the entire Jiangning.
And the worst of these cultivators are all at the Golden Core stage.
It should be noted that when the Great Xia Dynasty was founded, there were only four hundred cultivators.
For some sects, this number is already quite large.
However, very few sects have more than a thousand cultivators.
After all, with more people in a sect, resources become less, and those who don't get resources will try to leave, thus maintaining a dynamic balance.
Many independent cultivators are essentially losers in the struggle for resources.
Jiangning City has a total of four thousand cultivators, and Xu Feng is neither the most powerful nor the most influential.
Obtaining divine-level elixirs and treasure-hunting beasts from this is extremely difficult.
In particular, the fact that Jiangning City gradually split into four factions, with many of them offering large sums of money to invite independent cultivators, infuriated him.
Because one of the forces is the Cloud Realm Holy Land.
However, the person in charge was not him, but his mortal enemy, Yang Xiu.
The Yunhuan Holy Land has a thousand disciples, and also many geniuses.
Yang Xiu possesses a top-grade innate lightning spiritual root.
Xu Feng disliked him because this man coveted his master.
His master, Daoist Ziyang, was the most beautiful woman in the Yunhuan Holy Land.
