Xiao Mowan looked at her and said with a smile, "Indeed, your talent is truly outstanding. Now that you feel like you're about to break through, let's hurry back."
Having dealt with this major concern, he led Mu Xi and the others away from the place.
Li Chengfeng had already been brought back to the Wind Cloud Sect by Ding Wuyan.
Glacier Peak is a frigid and icy land where fierce gales blow constantly, accompanied by the sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves.
It is sparsely populated, and even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators must be constantly vigilant against these strange winds.
Therefore, it became Ding Wuyan's cultivation ground, and he built his cave dwelling here.
Although strange winds howl here all day long, the spiritual energy is unusually dense.
Under Ding Wuyan's guidance, Li Chengfeng arrived here.
Ding Wuyan used a protective shield to envelop Li Chengfeng, so he couldn't feel the strange winds outside, but he could absorb the vigorous spiritual energy here.
This invigorated Li Chengfeng, and he praised the great sect in his heart as truly extraordinary; the density of spiritual energy was simply maddening.
Cultivating in this environment, even cultivators with ordinary aptitude, with the assistance of heavenly treasures, could potentially advance to the Core Formation stage.
Ding Wuyan said to Li Chengfeng, "I brought you here to train you for a month, to help you advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining and pass on my Demon Sealing Battle Skill to you. Are you willing?"
Li Chengfeng replied respectfully, "Of course, this disciple is willing. I want to cultivate all methods and techniques that can improve my cultivation. Please, Senior Uncle, instruct me, and this disciple will do my best."
His face was full of sincerity and determination.
Ding Wuyan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Haha, look at how old I am. If you become like me, wouldn't you lose your beautiful face and handsome appearance?"
Li Chengfeng replied respectfully, "This disciple is focused on the Dao and doesn't care much about appearance."
Ding Wuyan nodded in satisfaction, very pleased with Li Chengfeng's answer, and said, "Good. This Demon Sealing Battle Skill was obtained by me from an ancient ruin and is not suitable for everyone to cultivate.
Those who care about their appearance or have inferior souls must have a strong soul and indomitable spirit to cultivate this technique.
Among the younger generation I've seen, you meet these conditions very well. First of all, you cultivate the Yin-Yang Demon Body and have the potential of Wind Demon power.
Combined with the Demon Sealing Battle Skill, it will definitely make your cultivation twice as effective, and may even surpass your little junior sister. As the senior brother, you are always left behind by her. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Li Chengfeng smiled calmly and replied, "Senior Uncle's teachings are correct; it is indeed a bit shameful.
But I don't care. My aptitude is what it is, how can I compare with Junior Sister's top-grade spiritual root?
Besides, Junior Sister has the continuous guidance of the senior sisters, and as the senior brother, I have many inconveniences, which is understandable.
I am content as long as I do my job well. Compared to those with inferior aptitudes, I am quite satisfied."
Li Chengfeng muttered in his heart, "The reason I can keep up with Junior Sister's pace is all thanks to my own efforts.
I am already at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. If I advance to Foundation Establishment, I am afraid the gap will be even greater. But I will find a way.
If I now reveal my top-grade spiritual root talent, and if I continue to cultivate the Wind Cloud Sect's techniques, relying on the Wind Stabilizing Pearl in my body, although there will be a gap with Junior Sister, it won't be too far."
Ding Wuyan was unaware of Li Chengfeng's thoughts.
He nodded happily, having not encountered a young disciple who suited his temperament so well in many years.
With a flick of his finger, with a whoosh, all the insights about the Demon Sealing Battle Skill and the essence of the secret method cultivation entered Li Chengfeng's sea of consciousness, merging with his soul.
Immediately, Li Chengfeng was stunned. After careful deduction, with his affinity for techniques, he immediately understood the mysteries within.
He couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of this technique, which greatly interested him.
He suddenly felt that Ding Wuyan might have practiced it wrong, that is, his understanding was wrong.
The real Demon Sealing Battle Skill would not make people age, there must be a problem here.
Li Chengfeng came back to his senses and said, "Senior Uncle, I need a few days to comprehend and understand this technique. Please, Senior Uncle, do not disturb me."
Suddenly, he felt a sense of mutual appreciation for this technique.
Ding Wuyan immediately said happily, "Go into seclusion. There is my cave dwelling not far away. I will not disturb you, nor will I let anyone disturb you, including your little junior sister."
"Thank you, Senior Uncle," Li Chengfeng said, then walked into the cave dwelling, closed the door, and began to sit cross-legged, abandoning distracting thoughts and concentrating on deducing the technique.
Li Chengfeng immediately devoted himself to the deduction of the technique. He integrated the 'Flourishing and Declining Sky-Reaching Technique,' the Wind Cloud Sect's techniques, and the Kunpeng Bloodthirsty Skill, carefully deducing the differences between them.
As time passed, his expression became more and more wonderful, obviously having delved deeply into the core of the technique.
In his mind, Lou Lan felt Li Chengfeng's focus and couldn't help but admire him greatly. As Li Chengfeng's tool person, Lou Lan silently guarded Li Chengfeng within the space, ensuring that he could concentrate on cultivation.
At the same time, Lou Lan was also watching over the mysterious plant from the Boundary, hoping it could take root and sprout under his care.
This scene flashed by, only because Li Chengfeng was too focused that Lou Lan had the opportunity to glimpse a corner of the iceberg.
Time passed little by little, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Chengfeng remained motionless, not eating or drinking, relying entirely on Essence Deprivation Pills for support, otherwise, it would have been really difficult to persevere.
Finally, Li Chengfeng understood the drawback of the technique—that is, each time after going mad, it came at the cost of lifespan.
This discovery made Li Chengfeng fall into contemplation. He had a sudden idea, wanting to find a way to shield this backlash, that is, to eliminate the troubles brought to him by the Demon Sealing Battle Skill.
After careful consideration, Li Chengfeng finally thought of a way—that is, to use the "Cauldron Bottom Origin" technique to extract the lifespan of others.
He realized that although he could not directly cultivate lifespan, he could extract the lifespan of others to use as the price for performing the Demon Sealing Battle Skill.
In this way, even if he lost lifespan, he could replenish it by absorbing the lifespan of others.
This discovery made Li Chengfeng have a plan in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had found the key to cultivating this technique.
Next, he began to think about how to help Ding Wuyan avoid this crisis. After some thought, he also thought of many ways to avoid this risk.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng immediately engraved all of this with his divine sense, preparing to leave seclusion and share his findings with Ding Wuyan.
He knew that this was not only of great significance to his own cultivation, but also a help and reward to Ding Wuyan.
When he came out, joy was written all over Ding Wuyan's face.
It turned out that he had been guarding outside the cave dwelling, observing Li Chengfeng. Seeing Li Chengfeng so devoted to comprehending for a full month and a half, he felt deeply gratified.
Because such comprehension, let alone half a month, was worth even two months. But if two months were wasted, it would be difficult to catch up with his little junior sister who had already advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
The little junior sister had come not long ago and advanced the next day. She came to find Li Chengfeng but was stopped by Ding Wuyan, which made Mu Xi furious and even pulled out four of his whiskers.
