Chapter 1983 — Quite Similar
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
So Wei Zhao did not force himself. He set the cauldron aside, but in his heart he worried about Feng Xiaoxiao. The two-year pact seemed a long time, but in fact nearly half a year had already passed, and there was a year and a half or more left. If he still could not learn pill refining, then Feng Xiaoxiao would truly have to become the inheritor.
Entering the jade pendant's space, Wei Zhao prepared to continue cultivating. There was a saying that diligence makes up for dullness. Since Wei Zhao already lagged so far behind that little sugarplum, he could only rely on daily diligence and the uniquely favorable environment of the jade pendant's space to struggle to catch up.
"Old Jiao, how about it? Did you see anything in that cultivation method?" Wei Zhao asked casually.
"I did..." Jiao Yazi's answer took Wei Zhao greatly by surprise. He had assumed Jiao Yazi could not possibly see anything in such a short time, yet he truly had?
"What?" Wei Zhao was stunned.
"This is nothing but an incomplete, simplified, and somewhat improved first layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art!" Jiao Yazi said.
"What?" Hearing Jiao Yazi's words, Wei Zhao's eyes went wide. "What? The Sun family's cultivation method is the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art?"
"Perhaps they share a common origin, or perhaps it is coincidence. This method should achieve the same effect as the first layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art by a different route, but many parts are incomplete or simplified, though some parts have been improved." Jiao Yazi nodded and said, "The first layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art can transmit true qi to others, repair meridians, and heal injuries, and the Sun family's method contains all of these. But the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art can only be cultivated by men, whereas this improved version is suitable for both men and women..."
"What? An improved version of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art? How could the Sun family have such a thing? Isn't the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art unique?" Wei Zhao was utterly astonished by Jiao Yazi's words.
"Who says it's unique? In ancient times, the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art was the cultivation method practiced by all the tribespeople of the Yellow Emperor. Only later did it evolve into a sect, and as the years passed, that sect declined and was finally lost, just like the sect founded by Chi You that possessed the Chrysanthemum Treasure Manual..." Jiao Yazi said. "And the Sun family's ancestor may have been a cultivator of that sect, only exceptionally gifted. He obtained nothing but the incomplete first layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, and through his own improvements it became the Sun family's cultivation method of today..."
"In other words, my Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art isn't actually unique?" Wei Zhao said, suddenly enlightened.
"Naturally not. But by now it should have been lost, otherwise the Sun family's method would not be incomplete and limited to an improved version of the first layer," Old Jiao said.
"So that's how it is..." Old Jiao's words greatly astonished Wei Zhao. The Sun family had actually had such a stroke of fortune, and that ancestor of theirs must have been a remarkable man, able to improve an incomplete first-layer method into the Sun family's present cultivation method. He could only be described as a genius.
