"Great!"
After letting out a burp, Master Taiyi slumped into his chair, looking completely intoxicated.
"Master Hao, what have you been doing all these years?"
After playing with the new toy for a while, Nezha approached Hao Yun and asked him questions out of curiosity.
Hao Yun patted Nezha's head and replied with a smile.
"Because I needed to break through my cultivation level, I found a place to cultivate for a while."
Soon, Nezha excitedly began to recount the events of the past few years, such as Shen Gongbao bringing Ao Bing to cause trouble.
Shen Gongbao's plan naturally failed, and Nezha and Ao Bing became good friends. Nezha even helped him overcome the heavenly tribulation.
When Ao Bing was mentioned, Nezha dragged Hao Yun along, wanting to go find Ao Bing to play, but Hao Yun refused.
"Let's go another day. Your master and I haven't seen each other for many years. How about we catch up today and play together tomorrow?"
Nezha responded somewhat unhappily, but soon he excitedly showed Hao Yun what he had learned over the years.
After just one glance, Hao Yun couldn't help but sigh that Master Taiyi had really gone all out.
Putting everything else aside, just Nezha's magical treasures alone are enough to scare people to death.
The Universe Ring, the Wind and Fire Wheels, the Fire-Tipped Spear, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.
In addition to the armor and spiked club Hao Yun gave him, he had seven magical treasures in total, and also three innate spiritual treasures.
"Fellow Daoist, you even gave the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to Nezha?"
The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover is the signature magic weapon of Master Taiyi, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with astonishing power.
Hearing Hao Yun's words, Taiyi Zhenren smiled helplessly. This magic weapon was taken away by Nezha to play with some time ago, and he still hasn't returned it to him.
"Let's not talk about that. I see you've broken through in cultivation, congratulations!"
"Some progress, some progress."
Taiyi Zhenren's cultivation has now broken through to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so Hao Yun dares not be complacent.
After chatting for a while, Master Taiyi drank three jars of wine and was swaying uncontrollably in his seat.
The wine Hao Yun just took out was spiked; it was extremely potent. If it weren't for Taiyi Zhenren breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he would have been drunk long ago.
"Fellow Daoist, I unexpectedly obtained this cultivation technique. Could you take a look and tell me what you think of it?"
Hao Yun took out the Great Celestial Immortal Manual and handed it to Taiyi Zhenren.
After only one glance, Master Taiyi put it down.
"The Great Celestial Immortal Technique—almost all the disciples of the Chan Sect practice this. Where did you get it?"
Taiyi Zhenren didn't pay much attention to returning the jade slip to Hao Yun, as this technique was practically commonplace among the three religions.
"I found this in a cave. Do you think this technique is achievable?"
"Of course it can, but this technique has limited potential; it's only up to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level."
Hao Yun put the jade slip away. As long as it allows for cultivation, that's fine. As for potential, he'll worry about that when he reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
"Fellow Daoist, if this cultivation method is still lacking, then what do you Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun cultivate?"
The somewhat drunken Master Taiyi had lost all restraint and answered the question off the cuff.
"Of course it's the cultivation method taught by Master, the Guangmiao Yuqing Great Method. It's said that one can cultivate to the level of a saint, but whether that's possible or not, I don't know."
Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun, Guang Chengzi, who has the highest cultivation level, is only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. When Hao Yun heard that this cultivation method could lead to sainthood, his eyes turned red with envy.
As for how to trick Taiyi Zhenren into revealing it, that was quite difficult. Taiyi Zhenren only mentioned the name of the cultivation technique before changing the subject.
Taking this opportunity, Hao Yun also discussed the Five Elements Escape Technique with Taiyi Zhenren.
The experienced cultivator, Master Taiyi, quickly solved the problem Hao Yun encountered, and Hao Yun's proficiency in escape techniques began to rise rapidly.
Upon hearing the mention of escape techniques, Master Taiyi let out a sigh.
"If we're talking about the fastest escape technique, it has to be the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, with one wing spanning 1.8 million li and two wings spanning 3.6 million li."
"Kunpeng? That demon master?"
"No, the one you're talking about is the Kunpeng of the North Sea, I'm talking about the current patriarch of the Phoenix Clan."
Hao Yun was somewhat bewildered. Did such a person exist in the prehistoric era? He seemed to have never heard of him.
"Besides the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, the Demon Master Kunpeng you mentioned also has excellent escape techniques, ranking second. As for the third, it should be the escape techniques of the Golden Crow clan, but now, only Lu Ya remains of the Golden Crow clan."
After saying this, Taiyi Zhenren took another sip of wine, and the two continued their casual conversation.
As they chatted, Master Taiyi brought up the method of body tempering. Master Taiyi wasn't blind, so he naturally saw Hao Yun's physical body, which was that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"Fellow Daoist, your body tempering technique is too poor. Don't be fooled by your Great Luo Golden Immortal body; in reality, it's not even as good as some Taiyi Golden Immortals."
Hao Yun was displeased. His powerful physique had always been a source of pride for him, and now that Taiyi Zhenren had said that, he couldn't help but retort.
"Impossible, what's lacking in me!"
"Don't disbelieve me, your body tempering method is far inferior to the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique. Your physical strength is clearly insufficient. If the Witch Clan were still around, you wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from someone of the same cultivation level."
Taiyi Zhenren's words were not an exaggeration at all. Hao Yun's Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon was just a relatively common body-refining technique in Buddhism. In the end, he would only become a Golden-bodied Arhat.
Upon hearing Master Taiyi mention the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, Hao Dong became interested. There were many advantages to being under the sage's tutelage; just the cultivation techniques alone made him far superior to others.
"I don't believe it! Show me the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, I want to see where my body-refining technique is lacking!"
Taiyi Zhenren didn't hesitate either, taking out a jade slip and slamming it on the table.
Hao Yun picked up the jade slip and quickly memorized its contents.
"Wow! No wonder they are disciples of a sage, their body-refining techniques are amazing."
Hao Yun meant this sincerely. After reading about the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he felt that his own Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Technique was rubbish.
Having memorized the contents, Hao Yun openly returned the jade slip to Taiyi Zhenren.
Just as Hao Yun was pondering how to trick someone out of something else, Taiyi Zhenren fell into a drunken stupor and didn't respond no matter how Hao Yun called him.
Glancing at the wine jar on the table, Hao Yun felt that the drug he had given was a bit too strong, and he should have made him drink less.
Helplessly, Hao Yun picked up Taiyi Zhenren and threw him back into the room.
At this moment, Nezha ran over, grinning as he stared at Hao Yun.
"Master Hao, you deliberately got my master drunk, didn't you?"
Chapter 125 Twenty-Five Boys
How did you figure that out?
Hao Yun smiled and looked at Nezha; this little guy was quite clever.
"That's easy. From the beginning, you've been trying to get information out of my master. You didn't need to go through all that trouble. I know everything you want to know."
Over the past few years, Nezha has almost drained Taiyi Zhenren dry. Whether it's cultivation techniques or magical treasures, everything has ended up in Nezha's hands.
He consumed handfuls of pills, and now Nezha's cultivation level is not much worse than Hao Yun's.
"I have a copy of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts here. Escape Technique, Fire Control Technique, and Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques are all here. Which one do you want?"
Seeing Nezha pull out a large pile of jade slips from his robes, Hao Yun smiled bitterly. The things he had gone to so much trouble to obtain were all in Nezha's hands.
Hao Yun copied all the jade slips and then patted Nezha's head.
"You're quite ruthless in betraying your master. If he finds out, he'll probably beat you to death."
Nezha waved his hand dismissively, saying that such a thing was impossible. When he helped Ao Bing through his tribulation, he was almost killed by the lightning. If it weren't for Taiyi Zhenren risking his life to protect him and help him rebuild his body, he would have died long ago.
Having received such a generous gift from Nezha, Hao Yun felt somewhat uncomfortable not returning the favor.
Nezha certainly didn't lack magical treasures, and as for cultivation techniques, that goes without saying. After thinking it over, Hao Yun realized that the only thing he could give away was a cell phone.
Hao Yun took out the SIM card, opened a mini-game on his phone, and taught Nezha how to play.
As for the phone's battery life, Hao Yun made a small modification: as long as spiritual energy is input, the phone can keep spinning continuously.
Having received his new toy, Nezha left in high spirits, and both of them were happy.
After reviewing the cultivation techniques, Hao Yun chose to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, which combines internal and external cultivation and is very practical.
For escape techniques, Hao Yun chose the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique recorded in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques. This is the escape technique of the Golden Crow clan, and its speed is twice as fast as the Five Elements Escape Technique.
The difficulty of cultivation is naturally several times higher than that of the Enlightenment Escape Technique. In any case, Hao Yun studied it for a long time but had no clue whatsoever.
As for asking Master Taiyi, Hao Yun didn't have the guts. If people found out that he was secretly practicing their Chan Sect's techniques, he didn't know how they would treat him.
If they find out that this technique was given to them by Nezha, Nezha will also be implicated.
Currently, Hao Yun needs to cultivate these two skills: escape techniques and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.
For Hao Yun, who already had a foundation in cultivation, transforming his skills into the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts was a huge undertaking.
Furthermore, during the transformation of the cultivation technique, one's own strength decreases by eight-tenths.
Given the current situation, Hao Yun wouldn't be so foolish as to change his cultivation method; if something unexpected happened, he'd be dead.
Since he couldn't change his cultivation method, Hao Yun could only focus on studying escape techniques.
The next morning, Nezha ran to find Hao Yun and dragged him to the beach to play with Ao Bing.
Blow the conch shell, and a few minutes later, a figure appears on the sea.
"Ao Bing! Here I am!"
Nezha waved and shouted loudly, and Ao Bing quickly arrived. When he saw Hao Yun, he looked at Nezha with a puzzled expression.
"This is Master Hao, who is considered half my master."
Nezha casually patted Hao Yun's thigh and introduced Hao Yun to Ao Bing.
"Master Hao".
As the crown prince of the dragon clan, Ao Bing is very polite and also has an outstanding appearance, except for the two crimson dragon horns on his head that are quite eye-catching.
