However, at this time, the Golden Core Middle Stage aura released by Independent Practitioner Jianjia was even more intense than that of the opposing Golden Core Late Stage. Furthermore, given the notorious reputation of Jianjia, who even dared to strike at figures like Soul-devouring Demon, a half-step Nascent Soul Great Evil, the two elders from the Fierce Sun Dao Palace naturally did not dare to overstep, especially since someone had just saved Feng Jingshan.
“Turns out it’s Fellow Daoist Jianjia…”
The elder frowned slightly: “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for retrieving the body of our Vice Palace Master from Fierce Sun Dao Palace, and for saving Jingshan…”
“No need to be polite, Fellow Daoist. As fellow cultivators from the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, we are all but one family. I simply did what was right to offer help,” said Jianjia.
“In that case, I ask Fellow Daoist to please come back with us to the Dao Palace, so we can properly express our gratitude.”
“Alright!”
Ning Daoran had nothing to fear; he would go as now nobody in the Fierce Sun Dao Palace could stop him.
…
Heavenly Mechanism Peak.
Great Elder Feng Buhai looked deeply worried, Feng Yinghai, one of the two great Nascent Souls of the Taoist Palace and known as Ancestor, had a fatal flaw; he was doting to a fault on his daughter, a devotion that ultimately led to his downfall because of the incident with Feng Jingshan.
“Fellow Taoist Feng.”
Ning Daoran, disguised as Independent Practitioner Jianjia, said: “I have a connection with young friend Jingshan. May I speak with her privately for a moment?”
“Please, feel free.”
Feng Buhai turned and left the main hall.
Ning Daoran then raised his hand and set up over fifty prohibitions, completely isolating the main hall from the outside world, before gently flicking his sleeve. Immediately, his bones creaked and popped, and in the blink of an eye, the form of Independent Practitioner Jianjia transformed back into Ning Cheng.
“Ah?”
At this moment, Feng Jingshan, dressed in a long robe, her body cleared of the fire poison and her cultivation restored to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, looked at the present Ning Cheng in disbelief: “Senior Brother Ning, you…”
“Actually, I have been the Independent Practitioner Jianjia from the beginning.”
Ning Daoran said: “Young Junior Sister, I came to the Fierce Sun Dao Palace twenty years ago specifically for the complete Divine Technique Heart Method of the Nine Yang Furnace, but unfortunately, your honored father Feng Yinghai rejected me on the spot. With no other choice, I disguised myself as Ning Cheng and secretly cultivated within the Dao Palace, only to be deceived and nearly fall into your father’s scheme.”
“So that’s how it is…”
Feng Jingshan pressed her red lips, her eyes quickly turning red. Feng Yinghai and Xu Baisheng had just been buried not long ago, and their bones were still cold. Feng Jingshan had been crying almost every day.
“Can I still call you Senior Brother Ning?” she asked.
“Yes.”
Ning Daoran said: “Although your honored father harbored malice towards me, I hold no ill will towards you, Young Junior Sister, otherwise I wouldn’t have intervened to save you at the end. However, I do have some doubts, and I hope you can clarify them for me.”
“Senior Brother, please ask. Whatever Jingshan knows, she will tell.”
“Alright.”
Ning Daoran nodded: “The Fire Poison Illness you had must have been with you for many years. I wonder, where did it originate from? Logically, being a body of Primordial Yin, you shouldn’t be able to cultivate something as ferocious as the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique. So where did this fire poison come from?”
“This…”
Feng Jingshan bit her red lips, showing a distressed expression.
“If it’s inconvenient to say, then let it be.”
“There’s actually nothing much.”
Feng Jingshan said gently: “To not hide from you, Senior Brother Ning, I was born with a Second Grade Ice Spirit Root, a very rare root. Therefore, since my childhood, I began cultivating the Ice Soul Divine Technique, and my father… his cultivation of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique had already reached perfection. When he tried to advance to the Transformation Realm, he found that practicing it left residual fire poison in his body, tormenting him day and night, until…”
She bit her lip, continuing: “I took the initiative to use the Ice Soul Divine Technique to dissolve my father’s fire poison, but who would’ve thought, with my low cultivation, I could only resolve a little, and the majority of the fire poison transferred into my body. Over time, after my father progressed the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique to the Transformation Realm, the fire poison in my body had already become an incurable disease, fully manifesting and retaliating.”
“So…”
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes: “The Vice Palace Master knew about the fire poison remaining in your body, did he?”
“At first, he didn’t know. Otherwise, my father would never have used my body of Ice Soul to drive away the fire poison. He was extremely fascinated by the Transformation Realm of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique back then, and so I just…”
“Never mind, no need to say more.”
Ning Daoran sighed and said: “Although your honored father plotted against me, now that he is gone, let’s consider that account settled. I will not do anything that might harm my Young Junior Sister.”
“Okay.”
Feng Jingshan nodded gently: “Senior Brother, did my father say anything before he passed?”
“He said that you know where the sixth volume is, and asked you to give it to me.”
“Alright.”
Feng Jingshan immediately stood up, retrieved a Storage Bag from the cabinet, and upon opening it, she handed over a fiery red Jade Scroll to Ning Daoran: “Here is the sixth volume of the Heart Method, I’m giving it to you, Senior Brother.”
“Thank you, Junior Sister.”
Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense penetrated into it, and instantly a ding-dong sound rang beside his ear, his Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique was finally complete—
[ Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, Heavenly-order Lower-grade (Great Success) ]
…
Previously, Ning Daoran had only the first three volumes of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique. After acquiring the fourth and fifth volumes, it was still incomplete, so he had not spent his Refining Time to cultivate it, thus remaining at the Returning to True Level of the True Yang Furnace Technique. Now that he had received the sixth volume, the system automatically upgraded it from a Dark Rank Technique to a Heavenly-order Technique!
And according to the foundation Ning Daoran had cultivated before, the Returning to True Level of the upper volumes was only equivalent to the Great Success of the complete Heart Method.
Sure enough, there is always someone better; one should not be overly proud while navigating the world!
Just like Feng Yinghai, that Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, was actually able to cultivate the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique to the Transformation Realm; if it really came to a comparison, Ning Daoran’s Returning to True Level of the True Yang Furnace Technique was truly not enough.
Some cultivation techniques are only dominant within the Chaotic Sect, but they are utterly ineffective in the outside world.
“Thank you, Young Junior Sister.”
Ning Daoran nodded slightly and said, “I will be leaving the Taoist Palace soon. Do you have any plans for the future, Young Junior Sister?”
“I…”
Feng Jingshan’s brows furrowed slightly, hesitant to speak.
Her father had died, and several senior brothers had also died. Although Feng Jingshan was now cured of her fire poison, she found herself in a helpless situation. She looked up at Ning Daoran, wishing that this Senior Brother Ning could stay and oversee Heavenly Mechanism Peak with his cultivation level; undoubtedly, he would face no issues, but unfortunately, he was not meant to stay as he was merely a passerby.
“Does Senior Brother Ning have any suggestions for me?”
“Yes,”
Ning Daoran said, “Heavenly Mechanism Peak is situated on a fourth-tier Spirit Vein and is one of the main peaks in the Taoist Palace. Previously, it was under the guard of your late Nascent Soul father. Now that he has perished, if Young Junior Sister continues to live in the Quiet Heart Courtyard, people will inevitably gossip about it. Since the Cultivation World respects power, my suggestion is for you to leave both Quiet Heart Courtyard and Heavenly Mechanism Peak.”
He added calmly, “Currently, you are at the Foundation Establishment Stage and cultivating with a third-tier Spirit Vein is already more than sufficient for you. Furthermore, there is an unoccupied Little Cold Peak outside the Heavenly Mechanism Peak, which has third-tier, mid-grade spiritual energy. Young Junior Sister, you could request to reside there. Once your Ice Soul Divine Technique reaches great success and after you achieve Core Formation, you could then consider returning to Heavenly Mechanism Peak. Otherwise, with your Foundation Establishment cultivation occupying a fourth-tier Spirit Vein, you may attract lethal dangers.”
“Hmm.”
Feng Jingshan nodded. At this moment, she understood that the person in front of her was not only her Senior Brother Ning but also the well-known Independent Practitioner Jianjia, renowned for his ferocity in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World—a highly experienced expert. Thus, she definitely took Ning Daoran’s advice seriously.

“Great Elder Feng Buhai currently has the highest cultivation in the Taoist Palace and the most likelihood to achieve Nascent Soul.”
Ning Daoran said, “You could request Great Elder Feng Buhai to be your mentor and ask him to oversee Heavenly Mechanism Peak on your behalf. He surely wouldn’t refuse, and you, as a disciple of Feng Buhai, could reside in Little Cold Peak to refine your cultivation. Regardless of whether Feng Buhai achieves Nascent Soul or not, at least nominally, Little Cold Peak would still belong to your lineage, Feng Jingshan, which can be reclaimed when the opportunity arises.”
“Hmm!”
Feng Jingshan nodded intensely, “Senior Brother’s words are most wise.”
“In addition, I will provide you with an opportunity.”
Ning Daoran smiled faintly, “If Young Junior Sister is willing, I will recognize you as my sworn sister in front of Feng Buhai. Although I will continue to travel far, with this relation, Feng Buhai will naturally have some reservations.”
“Okay.”
Feng Jingshan pursed her lips, “I will listen to Senior Brother!”
…
“Fellow Daoist Feng, please come in.”
Ning Daoran lifted the prohibition and welcomed Feng Buhai back into the main hall.
“Fellow Daoist Jianjia.”
Feng Buhai returned and asked, “Friend, are you really leaving the Dao Palace to travel afar this afternoon?”
“Indeed.”
Ning Daoran smiled and said, “I am a Loose Cultivator, someone who competes with stray dogs for food in the Cultivation World; I must venture out or else opportunities won’t fall on me. There is no helping it!”
Feng Buhai laughed awkwardly.
“However, I have found quite a rapport with the young friend Feng Jingshan, so I have an impolite request.”
“Oh? Please speak, fellow Daoist!”
“I wish to form a good bond with Feng Jingshan by taking her as my sworn sister. Would that be acceptable?”
“Ah?”
Feng Buhai was initially startled, then overjoyed. He had invited Ning Daoran to be a Guest Elder of the Taoist Palace that morning but was refused. He felt it was a pity to not retain this powerful Golden Core cultivator, yet by noon, Independent Practitioner Jianjia volunteered to bond with Feng Jingshan.
Such fate was certainly something Fierce Sun Dao Palace should firmly grasp.
“Good!”
Feng Buhai said, “Absolutely no problem; even if my brother Feng Yinghai were still alive, he would surely strongly support this.”
“Hmm.”
Ning Daoran smiled and nodded, then took out a top-grade ice attribute spiritual tool from his Storage Bag and handed it to Feng Jingshan, “Sworn Sister, please accept this as a meeting gift.”
Feng Jingshan nodded and accepted it.
“By the way,”
Ning Daoran said, “With the passing of Vice Palace Master Feng Yinghai, along with the fact that several other senior brothers of Heavenly Mechanism Peak are also deceased, leaving Sister Jingshan alone, Great Elder, you are deeply respected and wise. How about you do me, Independent Practitioner Jianjia, a favor by taking this sister as your disciple?
I have selected a mountain peak for her, precisely the Little Cold Peak, an Outer Peak of Heavenly Mechanism Peak; from now on, Sister Jingshan will cultivate there, but nominally, she remains a disciple of the Great Elder.
As for the Quiet Heart Courtyard, it would be a waste to leave it unoccupied, so the Great Elder could temporarily reside there with his disciples until what to do next depends on how Palace Master Feng Yinglong handles affairs after he leaves seclusion.”
In that moment, Feng Buhai’s eyes shone brightly.
He had been coveting the spiritual energy of Quiet Heart Courtyard for more than a day or two and with Palace Master Feng Yinglong in seclusion for hundreds of years, wouldn’t the whole Fierce Sun Dao Palace become his say now?
Moreover, if he were to oversee Heavenly Mechanism Peak in the name of Feng Jingshan’s master, other Golden Core late stage old fellows would have nothing to say!
“Such is very good!”
Feng Buhai laughed, “Since Fellow Daoist Jianjia has spoken, I certainly can’t disregard your face, and everything will be done as Friend suggests.”
…
Afternoon, Little Cold Peak.
Ning Daoran turned into a streak of golden Tunneling Light as he descended the mountain and left Fierce Sun Dao Palace altogether.
On Little Cold Peak, that solitary figure stood alone, Feng Jingshan watched the receding figure of Ning Daoran, feeling melancholic and suddenly on the verge of tears. Before leaving, Senior Brother had arranged everything for her, something he initially had no obligation to do.
