As a martial artist, without a strong background, it means that you can't get profound cultivation methods and can't get continuous cultivation resources.

  Without these two things, no matter how high your innate talent is, it's very difficult to become a top-notch expert.

  Now, an opportunity is in front of him, Kong Xuan naturally wants to strive for it.

  Kong Xuan was very aware of the situation and did not ask Zhang Ruochen why he possessed the Peacock Half-Human Tribe's technique, but instead immediately made a vow to the gods.

  After making the vow, Kong Xuan said with some trepidation: "Young Master, you really possess a cultivation method of the Peacock Half-Human Tribe?"

  In Kong Xuan's view, Zhang Ruochen's technique was at most a lower-grade spiritual level.

  To know, even the royal family of Yunwu County, the top-level cultivation method is only a mid-grade innate technique of the Ling level.

  Of course, even if it's a low-grade Ling-level technique, for Kong Xuan, it's still a very impressive technique. If Zhang Ruochen didn't teach her, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn such a high-level technique.

  Zhang Ruochen said, "If you continue to cultivate the Xuanfeng Listening to the Waves Technique, even if you reach the Huangji Boundary's Great Perfection, you can at most open up twelve meridians. With fewer meridians in your body, your future cultivation speed will become slower and slower, or even stagnate. Moreover, a martial artist with fewer meridians in their body will be at a great disadvantage when fighting others. Because the speed at which you mobilize your true energy cannot compare to that of your opponent."

  Zhang Ruochen was able to transcend multiple boundaries and defeat his enemies, not only because he reached the Supreme Extreme Boundary in Huangji Border, but also because he cultivated the Nine Heavens Imperial Scripture, opening up thirty-six meridians within his body.

  The speed at which he mobilized his true energy far surpassed that of martial artists of the same boundary, and the power that burst out was naturally even more powerful.

  Zhang Ruochen said, "Of course, you are now only at the Small Extreme Boundary of the Yellow Extreme Realm. The meridians in your body have not yet taken shape, and it is completely possible to change to a different cultivation method and open up more meridians. The cultivation method I want to pass on to you is called the Peacock Holy Canon. I can clearly tell you that I only have the first four layers of cultivation methods, which at most can allow you to cultivate to the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Whether or not to cultivate this type of cultivation method depends entirely on your own choice."

  "Peacock Scripture" Kong Xuan was shocked, his face changed color, he held his breath, staring at Zhang Ruochen in disbelief.

  The Peacock Holy Canon is one of the two top-level kung fu skills in the Peacock Manor, along with the Feather Transformation Classic. Only the direct descendants of the Peacock Manor who are geniuses have the opportunity to practice it.

  Zhang Ruochen ignored Kong Xuan's shock and continued, "Practicing the Peacock Holy Canon can maximize the activation of the peacock bloodline in your body. If you can cultivate the Peacock Holy Canon to the fourth layer and reach the Tianji boundary, then you can even transform into a real peacock, flying through the sky and earth, summoning wind and spitting fire, with combat power far surpassing that of ordinary Tianji boundary human warriors."

  Kong Xuan was extremely grateful to Zhang Ruochen, and a pair of beautiful eyes flowed with crystal tears. He knelt on the ground, bowed deeply to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "Thank you, Master."

  "You can just call me Young Master, no need to address me as Master," said Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen couldn't understand Kong Xuan's feelings at this moment.

  Kong Xuan was caught by human traffickers and sold from one family to another, encountering many people who bought her, but everyone treated her as a commodity, without anyone truly being good to her, she had long been numb.

  So, after being bought by Zhang Ruochen, she only called him "Young Master" and didn't show much respect.

  However, after a short time in contact with Zhang Ruochen, she found that Zhang Ruochen was completely different from those who had bought her before. Not only was he exceptionally talented, but he also personally tore up the contract of sale and wanted to let her go. Now, Zhang Ruochen is going to pass on his profound cultivation method to her.

  One thing after another finally made Kong Xuan surrender from the heart, so he knelt on the ground and called Zhang Ruochen "master".

  She felt that by following such a master, she would be able to become stronger in the future and see the light.

  Kong Xuan stubbornly shook his head and said: "The master has a great kindness to Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan cannot be disrespectful to the master."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "If you call me Master, then I won't pass on the Peacock Holy Canon to you."

  Kong Xuan's face showed a hint of anxiety, her teeth lightly biting her lip, and her eyes shone with determination as she said: "Then I won't learn the Peacock Sacred Canon anymore. However, I still want to address you as Master."

  Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but look at her with new eyes, unexpectedly she was still a strong-willed woman, saying: "Alright, I won't force you either."

  "Get up, I'll pass on to you the first layer of cultivation techniques from the Peacock Sacred Canon."

  From the space bracelet, Zhang Ruochen took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the mantra of the Peacock Holy Canon's first layer, a total of 874 words.

  Kong Xuan stared at the space jade bangle on Zhang Ruochen's wrist, his beautiful eyes shining with tears, his voice as melodious as a skylark, softly saying: "Master, is that a spatial treasure?"

  Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly: "If you want it, I can also give you one."

  Kong Xuan hastily shook his head, somewhat frightened, and followed by kneeling down, saying: "Your servant dare not."

  "How did you end up kneeling again?" Zhang Ruochen said somewhat displeased, "It's just a spatial storage treasure. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, I'll definitely give you one. Get up."

  Zhang Ruochen handed the first layer of Peacock Sacred Canon's cultivation method to Kong Xuan. After Kong Xuan silently memorized it, Zhang Ruochen burned the paper with the method written on it, turning it into ashes.

  "You go down and cultivate first, I'll transform the technique into the Peacock Sacred Canon." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Kong Xuan's slender waist bowed slightly in a gentle arc towards Zhang Ruochen and then retreated.

  "It's a pity that Fourth Brother has already reached the Mystic Extreme Realm, his martial arts cultivation is very deep and his physique has also been fixed, otherwise, I could have passed on a cultivation technique to him."

  Once cultivation reaches the Mysterious Extreme Realm, it is no longer possible to open up new meridians. Practicing other techniques may not necessarily be a good thing for him.

  Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and entered the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal.

  At this moment, Xiao Hei is in the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal, fully focused on repairing the basic runes of the Submerged Ancient Sword.

  If the sixty-six basic seals are fully connected, the Submerged Ancient Sword will restore its power to the level of a Ninth-Rank True Martial Treasure. Zhang Ruochen was looking forward to it, and once again took control of the Submerged Ancient Sword.

  "The effect of the Semi-Holy Elixir is no longer very strong for me. The remaining fourteen drops of Semi-Holy Elixir will be left to Fourth Brother and Kong Xuan."

  It's not that the Semi-Saint True Liquid is completely useless to Zhang Ruochen. In fact, even if Zhang Ruochen's cultivation breaks through to the Tianji Boundary, the Semi-Saint True Liquid still has many benefits for him.

  However, Zhang Ruochen had a better choice than the Semi-Holy Elixir, so he naturally felt that the medicinal properties of the Semi-Holy Elixir were not strong enough.

  It can be said that the cultivation resources used by Zhang Ruochen are more advanced than those used by many geniuses of large families and sects, and he has never been afraid to waste them. It's only natural that Zhang Ruochen's cultivation speed is fast.

  Zhang Ruochen took out a delicate small jade bottle in a pale green color and placed it on his palm.

  "Whoosh"

  A surge of true energy burst forth from his palm, shaking open the lid of the jade bottle. A cloud of white mist poured out of the jade bottle.

  In the midst of clouds and mist, a sacred sprout was born, with four long leaves that emitted dazzling brilliance.

  This is Zhang Ruochen's only drop of sacred liquid, with a holy power that is many times more refined than the semi-sacred true liquid, and its medicinal properties are also stronger.

  If he could take this holy liquid, perhaps it would allow his physique to advance even further.
