The Best Physiognomist

Inside the abandoned flour mill!

He mobilized the spiritual power in his dantian to quickly condense a judge's pen, and directly tapped the weak point of the sword that flew in front of him. While easily knocking the sword away, the young man with glasses said with more pride.

"Back then, the old thief Wuxin relied on his own powerful strength, as well as his own swordsmanship and secret techniques, not only severely injured the head of the Jindan realm and nine elders of the Xudan realm, but also took away the treasures of the sect, the Xingchen Tianyuan Fruit and Yuanyang Pill."

"As ordered, as long as I can successfully capture you alive and personally send you to the head of the sect and the elders, they will have the opportunity to avenge the old thief Wuxin."

"Then, the happy head of the sect and the elders will not only promote me to a core disciple, but also reward me with the Peiyuan Pill for strengthening the foundation and nurturing the source."

"So you are an elite disciple of the Danding Sect!"

When Jiang Fengye heard the young man with glasses mention the Xingchen Tianyuan Fruit and Yuanyang Pill, he felt vaguely familiar with them. He always felt that he seemed to have heard his great grandfather and third grandfather mention them once or twice in casual conversation.

When he heard the young man with glasses mention the Peiyuan Pill that only one sect could refine, and combined with the other party's cultivation in the middle of the eighth level of foundation building, he immediately guessed the other party's true origin.

Danding Sect!

The tenth sect among the ten major sects of Taoism, inherited from the famous Wujiao Taoist in the Middle Ages, is a sect that specializes in refining elixirs to assist in cultivation.

The cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies and seize the fortune of heaven and earth, which is an act against heaven and earth, and will definitely be punished and oppressed by the will of heaven and earth.

The most obvious punishment and oppression is the completely disproportionate gap between realm breakthrough and life span.

If calculated based on the average life span of ordinary people of 70 years, the Qi Condensation Period will only extend the life span of cultivators by 10 years, which is 80 years.

The Foundation Building Period will only extend the life span of cultivators by 30 years, which is 110 years.

Since the Void Pill Period is only a transitional stage, there is no extension of life span.

Even the Golden Pill Period, which is known as the realm of immortals and gods, can only extend the life span of cultivators by 70 years, which is 180 years.

Unless they can break the second life of the Golden Pill and enter the Infant Return to Void Realm, which is known as the realm of earthly immortals, their life span will be greatly extended by more than 800 years, and they will become immortals who can live in a flash for a thousand years.

Moreover, among the four factors that can determine the advancement of a cultivator's realm, potential gradually weakens with age, that is, the age of realm breakthrough should be at least in the first half of life.

For example: for a cultivator of the Condensation Stage with a lifespan of 80 years, it is best to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of 40.

For a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage with a lifespan of 110 years, it is best to break through the Golden Core Stage before the age of 55.

For a cultivator of the Golden Core Stage with a lifespan of 180 years, it is best to break through the Infant Return to Void Stage before the age of 90.

Even in an environment with abundant spiritual energy, a talented cultivator with excellent qualifications may need more than 40 to 50 years to advance from the Condensation Stage to the Golden Core Stage if he is lucky, and he may not be able to break through in his lifetime if he is unlucky.

Not to mention the Infant Return to Void Stage with a lifespan of a thousand years.

It is for this reason that Jiang Fengye chose to accept Su Lizi, Shen Luoxi and Shao Yuxuan, who only have ordinary lifespans.

Because he was not 100% sure whether he could successfully advance to the Golden Elixir Realm, let alone break through the Nascent Soul Return to Void Realm before the age of 90.

Then, with the help of various medicinal herbs that can prolong life, he and his four beloved women can spend the rest of their lives together.

Faced with this completely disproportionate punishment and oppression, since ancient times, some wise and capable people have created elixirs that can assist cultivators in accelerating their practice and breakthroughs through medicinal herbs containing essence and spiritual energy, and gradually evolved the Dan Dao that is the same as the Sword Dao and the Sword Dao.

However, the requirements for talent, physique and comprehension in Dan Dao practice are too high. Among ten thousand talented cultivators, there may not be a qualified Dan Master, which also creates the unique status of Dan Masters.

In the period when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, the Danding Sect, whose combat power was not as good as that of the third-rate sects, ranked second among the ten major sects of Taoism, second only to the Kunlun Sect inherited from the ancient times, which was enough to prove the transcendent status of the alchemist.

However, as the environment of heaven and earth continued to deteriorate, the number of natural materials and treasures continued to decrease, and the status of the Danding Sect, which could not refine more high-quality elixirs, showed a downward trend.

Before the century-long war between the East and the West, the ranking of the Danding Sect had fallen to tenth place.

Today, with the control and plunder of resources by secular forces, the Danding Sect, which lacks a large amount of alchemy resources, may have already fallen out of the ranks of the ten major sects of Taoism and become a second- and third-rate sect.

"That's right!"

In the face of Jiang Fengye's identification, the young man with glasses nodded without denying it, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"My last name is Tao Jingyang, my name is Jingyuan, and my master is Qianyuan Zhenren, the leader of Xiangyun Peak of Danding Sect."

"Although the status and strength of Danding Sect can no longer be compared with those in the Middle Ages due to the influence of the environment, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."

After Tao Jingyang nodded in approval, Jiang Fengye, who reached out to take back the sword, also said with a happy smile on his face.

"As an elite disciple of Danding Sect, I believe you, Tao Jingyang, must be carrying a lot of elixirs to assist in cultivation and breakthroughs."

"If I let you die here today, all the elixirs on you will belong to me."

"Come on!"

Facing Jiang Fengye's greed, Tao Jingyang jumped off the wall and walked towards the office building, while his tone was full of sarcasm and provocation.

"Boy, as long as you can defeat me, then all the five kinds of precious elixirs I brought down the mountain this time will be yours."

"In that case, then I won't be polite!"

Pretending not to hear the other party's sarcasm, Jiang Fengye quickly mobilized 80% of the gray energy in his dantian and directly performed a sword technique of shining stars and moons.

"Hmph!"

Facing the tangible sword energy condensed by the sword technique, Tao Jingyang snorted disdainfully, and then waved the sword in his hand and shouted.

"The wind is rising and the clouds are surging!"

Accompanied by Tao Jingyang's shouting, the white sword energy condensed by the sword quickly met the gray sword energy.

But just as the two sword energies collided, the white sword energy suddenly softened and wrapped around the gray sword energy, then swallowed up the gray sword energy bit by bit.

Jiang Fengye's face changed slightly, and he immediately increased the gray energy in his dantian by 10%, and used 90% of his strength to perform a more powerful sword technique.

"Three stars shining brightly!"
