"Me? I am a Celestial! Above the Ninth Rank!"
Zhao Junxian did not hide anything.
"You're amazing, senior!"
Feng Bingwen had only just begun to learn about cultivation and was completely clueless. He didn't know the meaning of this immortal item, but he felt that his chosen master was indeed exceptionally talented, so he flattered him profusely.
"It's just that the starting point was slightly better."
The boy smiled, without any arrogance on his face, appearing quite gentle.
"Then may I ask, senior, what are the requirements for cultivating to the upper three ranks, the foundation for immortality?"
Although he knew there were better immortal items, Feng Bingwen still asked about the top three items first in order to show his humble nature, which would make him appear neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Physique, Immortal Technique!"
Zhao Junxian's summary is concise and to the point.
"With a special physique, coupled with a technique that points directly to immortality, one can cultivate to the third rank of the pulse stage!"
"this……"
Feng Bingwen was dumbfounded. The young man spoke simply, but he suddenly felt the difficulty of cultivating immortality in this world.
Well, that's not entirely true. It's probably easy to achieve the lowest three grades of pulse, but becoming an immortal is extremely difficult for ordinary people.
Physical constitution is entirely a matter of fate; it's determined at the moment of birth. If you're lucky, you're lucky; if you're unlucky, you're unlucky.
As for the techniques that lead directly to immortality, needless to say, such things can never become commonplace. Without a certain background or special encounter, how could one obtain such a thing?
"What if one's aptitude is very ordinary? If one cultivates immortal techniques, can one still reach the upper three ranks?"
At this moment, Feng Bingwen was somewhat uneasy. He had no confidence in his own aptitude. He only began to transcend the ordinary after obtaining the Dragon Ball.
There is a very small chance of reaching the third rank, but most likely one can only reach the middle third rank.
The boy shook his head, but he could see the unease and worry in the child in front of him, so he spoke words of comfort.
"You don't need to worry about that. If you cultivate, as long as you have a good spiritual technique, there is a good chance that you can cultivate to the upper three ranks."
"Am I very talented?"
Feng Bingwen was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected that he was actually a little genius.
"No, in my opinion, your qualifications are mediocre."
But before Feng Bingwen could finish rejoicing, he saw the young man's ruthless words, shattering his smug thoughts.
Am I mediocre?
Feng Bingwen wore a bitter face.
"Didn't you say I had a certain probability of cultivating to the upper three ranks?"
"That's because you have a dragon ball inside you."
Zhao Junxian spoke frankly,
"With the power of the Dragon Balls, even with your aptitude, it's possible to cultivate to the upper three ranks."
"It's just a possibility."
Feng Bingwen's face fell, utterly dejected. This big shot was practically saying outright that he was a useless good-for-nothing incapable of cultivation.
"It's already very good, don't be ungrateful."
Zhao Junxian comforted her,
"Those who reach the highest rank have a chance to attain immortality."
"Wait, senior, didn't you say that only physique and immortal techniques determine the pulse? But you also said that the Dragon Pearl can help me condense a third-grade pulse, isn't that a third thing?"
Feng Bingwen suddenly noticed the key point.
“What is lacking at birth can be made up for later. The Great Dao is ruthless, but it also leaves a glimmer of hope.”
Zhao Junxian patiently explained,
"However, items that can compensate for the innate deficiencies of cultivators, such as the Dragon Pearl you obtained, are all extremely rare. If one is a cultivator who has not yet established their foundation, how could they possibly have the opportunity to obtain such spiritual objects?"
"I see."
After some thought, Feng Bingwen understood the key point. This kind of spiritual object that can defy fate can only be obtained by those with great supernatural powers. As for minor cultivators who have just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they can forget about it, unless they are like him and get hit by the Dragon Ball halfway through their journey.
"What if there's a powerful elder?"
Feng Bingwen thought of the possibility that a minor cultivator who needed to compensate for his congenital deficiencies might obtain a spiritual object.
“The descendants of cultivators who have achieved success in their cultivation cannot be of poor aptitude, unless the lineage is very long. But even if it is truly necessary to make up for it, which aristocratic family would be willing to bestow such a spiritual treasure, which is a creation of heaven and earth, upon a descendant whose aptitude is not good enough to be cultivated?”
"That's true."
Feng Bingwen agreed with this statement.
This third factor, which is beneficial for blood circulation, is essentially non-existent. Those who need it cannot obtain it, while those who have it cannot use it, thus creating a vicious cycle.
"Therefore, people like you who are blessed with great fortune are one in ten thousand and cannot be regarded as ordinary."
The powerful figure before him regarded him as a chosen one, and Feng Bingwen could only acquiesce. However, he thought of something else.
"Senior, aren't you interested in the dragon pearl inside my belly?"
What are you saying?
The boy's brow furrowed for the first time, like a wealthy merchant being provoked by a beggar holding a broken bowl with a few copper coins.
"Why would I be interested in a mere dragon pearl?"
"Didn't you just say that Dragon Balls are rare items?"
"That applies to ordinary cultivators, not to me. Besides, even if something were useful to me, do you think I would harm you or steal your opportunities? You are seriously underestimating me, Zhao Junxian!"
"Senior, please calm down. It was my recklessness that led me astray."
Feng Bingwen quickly lowered his head and apologized, but he was completely at peace with himself. This was indeed the master he wanted; he didn't even care about the Dragon Balls. He loved that disdainful attitude.
"It's alright, I can understand how you feel. You're just an ordinary person, and suddenly you've obtained this item. You must have been living in fear for a long time!"
The boy looked at the child in front of him, whose face still seemed apprehensive, and suddenly thought of something, his expression softening.
"You really understand me. I was worried for a long time, and the year was almost over. I didn't even tell my parents and elders at home."
Feng Bingwen went downhill on the donkey, but when he looked up, he saw that the boy in front of him seemed to have a strange look in his eyes.
"When you helped me, did you ever consider that I was a demon?"
The boy suddenly spoke up and asked.
When he escaped into this place using the Qiankun Dao technique, he did not conceal his power. Even without cultivation, the child in front of him, whose body was tainted by the Dragon Pearl, could sense the danger. Yet, the child still stood in front of him and lent him a helping hand.
“I have indeed thought about it, but after seeing your face, I feel that you don’t look like it, so I want to help you.”
At this moment, Feng Bingwen naturally knew what to say. He had received confirmation from the Heavenly Book before rushing over; otherwise, given the terrifying fluctuations just now, he would have definitely taken his two elderly relatives and run as far away as possible.
"Such virtuous character is truly rare!"
The young man nodded in approval, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes for the first time as he looked at Feng Bingwen, but then his expression turned serious.
"If you encounter a similar situation next time, prioritize your own safety and do not step forward. You are a cultivator, and you should not judge people by their appearance!"
"Senior, would you be willing to teach me cultivation?"
Feng Bingwen looked pleasantly surprised and noticed the key point.
