Chapter 1046: Chapter 992: Questioning
Li Zhirui’s expression immediately turned serious upon hearing the matter, and he said in a deep voice, "Da Qing, regarding the acupoints containing Space Power, it must be kept strictly confidential, without a single leak!"
Da Qing looked up with some confusion, asking in incomprehension, "Why must it be kept secret? Isn’t this a good thing?"
"Acupoints can be used to refine space Magical Treasures, and the higher the Cultivation, the more immense the Space Power they contain. Once the news leaks out, many cultivators will certainly want to kill members of the Li family in order to obtain these space Magical Treasures!"
Pausing for a moment, Li Zhirui still spoke out the scenario he least wanted to see, "Even within the Li family, there might be people harboring this mindset, wanting to enhance their own acupoints by integrating with those of other family members!"
You must know, with the successful cultivation of the Qiao Acupoint World Methods, acupoints have become the fundamental practice of the ’Earth Spirit Tao Record,’ their importance is no less than that of Spirit Plants, and in some respects, even exceeding them!
Because acupoints are essentially Cave Heaven!
After cultivating to the Void Refinement Realm, the most important task is to perfect the Cave Heaven, imbuing it with a multitude of Laws, solidifying one’s foundation, and preparing for the advancement to the Minor Thousand World.
In this case, if the clan members were to know that the acupoints of cultivators who practiced the ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’, could be used to refine Magical Treasures after their death, wouldn’t that mean they became a kind of Spiritual Objects, and could potentially be integrated with one’s own acupoints to accelerate the growth of Cave Heaven?
If such a situation were to truly arise, it would be an absolute disaster for the Li family!
By that time, the Li family might not be destroyed by external enemies, but due to internal fratricide!
After hearing Li Zhirui’s speculation, Da Qing was dripping with cold sweat, almost inadvertently planting the seeds of the family’s destruction!
"Jiu, I..."
Da Qing, looking panicked, wanted to say something but heard Li Zhirui sigh and say, "It might be a good thing that you discovered this problem early."
He wasn’t comforting Da Qing, but because Da Qing had become aware, it meant other family members could also notice this situation. It was better they hadn’t discovered this earlier without any protective measures in place. Discovering the problem after it had caused harm would be too late!
"The best way to solve this problem is to make the acupoints shatter on their own after one’s demise!" said Li Zhirui thoughtfully after a moment’s silence.
That way, even if a clan member died accidentally, they would not notice anything special about the acupoints while retrieving the body.
However, this method is not something that can be achieved in a short time; it requires addressing the root cause! That is, the Cultivation Technique needs to be revised.
"Jiu, rest assured, since I caused this trouble, I will make every effort to resolve it as quickly as possible!" Da Qing hastily promised.
Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "This is not your problem. When we return, we’ll secretly find a solution, and after revising the ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’ and the Qiao Acupoint World Methods, we’ll hand them over to the family."
He did not plan to tell anyone about this matter!
Even Xiaoqing, Cang, Jiang Fengwu, Li Chengsheng, and other close individuals, he would not tell!
It wasn’t that Li Zhirui didn’t trust them; it was that the more people who knew, the greater the possibility of a leak, and this hazard was really too great. It could lead to the family’s destruction at any moment, so he had to ensure absolute security!
"Okay!" Da Qing nodded again and again; his nature would not allow such a Cultivation Technique to be passed down in the family.
After the two made their decision, they joined forces to destroy this experimental site, covering it up with thick earth and stones to prevent it from being discovered later.
Soon, Li Zhirui and Da Qing returned to Mount Wanxian without alarming anyone and went straight into their Cave Mansion to brainstorm ways to leave a hidden trap within the acupoints. They wanted to ensure that once a cultivator fell, the acupoints would collapse and not fall into others’ hands, let alone let anyone discover the ability to absorb acupoints.
Because they had a clear goal and Da Qing, as the founder of the ’Qiao Acupoint World’ Methods, accompanied by the high-level vision and having reached the cusp of the Integration Realm, the two worked together. In just a few years, they solved the problem. After capturing several deeply sinful cultivators to experiment in Li Zhirui’s space, repeatedly confirming that there were no issues, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"We’ve finally done it!" Da Qing exhaled in relief. He still felt a sense of trepidation when he recalled Li Zhirui’s words.
Fortunately, Jiu was by his side at that time; otherwise, he would certainly have overlooked this problem, bringing great harm to the family!
"You’ve worked hard these years," Li Zhirui said to Da Qing, full of emotion.
His words were sincere!
The main force behind revising the ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’ was Da Qing. He created the most crucial ’Qiao Acupoint World’ Methods, and in this process, Li Zhirui hardly exerted any effort.
His only two contributions were recognizing the potential harm of the acupoints becoming Spiritual Objects and refining a large number of Precious Pills to shorten the time of the experiments.
Of course, Da Qing had also gained a lot over the years.
For example, he now knew the revised ’Earth Spirit Tao Record’ best and, in a sense, had recreated the Cultivation Technique!
Similarly, although he wasted decades of Cultivation with no progress in his Cultivation, his Realm had improved significantly.
It’s known that Cultivation can easily increase, but the Realm is difficult to advance; this will be greatly beneficial to Da Qing’s future Cultivation.
