Chapter 70 - 68: Little Erosion Sun Technique
But soon, Wei Tu shook his head, dismissing the idea.
’Having Immortal Fate is a possibility, but this seems too absurd.’
Strictly speaking, Weii Fei hadn’t discovered the *Five Elements Spirit Body* on his own. He had snatched the Immortal Skill from Xie Qing’s body after he died in a chaotic battle.
So, from beginning to end, all Weii Fei had done was find an Immortal Skill.
His Immortal Fate was only slightly better than his own, Kou Liang’s, or Fu Zhizhou’s.
It was just a matter of coincidence.
’If we’re really comparing, I’m the one with the ’Late Bloomer’ Destiny Chart. I have the greatest Immortal Fate of the four of us.’
"This is the Cultivation Technique I found."
Before Wei Tu could ask, Weii Fei took a booklet from his robes and placed it on the table.
The cover of the booklet bore four large words: *Little Erosion Sun Technique*.
Next, Weii Fei told Wei Tu the story of how he obtained the Immortal Skill.
After parting ways with Wei Tu, he hadn’t regained his confidence. Instead, he had returned to Qingshan County Town to continue his days drinking, occasionally visiting brothels.
But during this time, he hadn’t forgotten their pact at Xuanhe Tower and continued to do his best to gather legends about immortals.
This time, the immortal legend he’d heard about was in the Hex Family Village in Yanshe Town, Qingshan County.
As always, he went to check it out himself.
But this time, he was luckier. He didn’t come up empty in Hex Family Village. He found a Wooden Box on the plaque in the Hex Family’s ancestral hall.
And inside that Wooden Box, there just so happened to be an Immortal Skill.
Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded to himself, agreeing with his earlier thought.
’Over the past decade or so, if Weii Fei truly had Immortal Fate, he probably would have found a suitable Immortal Skill years ago. He wouldn’t have had to wait until now to find one.’
’He only found it because after countless trials and errors, he finally got lucky once.’
When they finished talking, Wei Tu picked up the *Little Erosion Sun Technique* that Weii Fei had placed on the table and began to read it carefully.
「An hour later.」
Wei Tu gave his assessment. "It’s as if my words came true. I once comforted you, Second Brother, saying it wasn’t the person who was lacking, but the Cultivation Technique..."
"But I never expected that for us who practice Immortal Skills, there truly is a difference in Constitution."
After reading the *Little Erosion Sun Technique*, he found that its cultivation philosophy was very similar to that of the *Five Elements Spirit Body*. Both focused on condensing a corresponding "Spirit Body."
The only difference was that the former condensed a Fire Attribute "Solar Erosion Body," while the latter condensed an Earth Attribute "Thick Earth Body."
This single clue was enough for him to see the whole picture.
Wei Tu deduced that Weii Fei’s Constitution must be inclined toward the Fire Attribute and lacked the aptitude for the Earth Attribute. That was why he had never been able to achieve Qi Sensitivity using the *Five Elements Spirit Body* and enter the Qi Sensing Realm.
"However, this Immortal Skill is slightly different from the *Five Elements Spirit Body*. It’s too domineering and not very moderate or balanced..."
Wei Tu murmured, his gaze turning to Weii Fei as he spoke with a hidden meaning.
In the *Little Erosion Sun Technique*, besides the Cultivation Technique for condensing the "Solar Erosion Body," the appendix also mentioned a type of Pill called the "Blood Food Pill."
It said this Pill was beneficial for cultivating the *Little Erosion Sun Technique* and could shorten the years required for Cultivation.
He guessed that besides the compatibility of his attribute with this Immortal Skill, the reason Weii Fei was able to enter the Qi Sensing Realm in just six months was likely inseparable from the "Blood Food Pill" mentioned in it.
Weii Fei understood the meaning behind Wei Tu’s words. He nodded and replied, "Inside that Wooden Box, besides the *Little Erosion Sun Technique*, there were also three dark red Pills... They must be the Blood Food Pills mentioned in the technique..."
"After seeing the Blood Food Pills, I also hesitated about whether to take them... but compared to the Immortal Path, some minor future consequences are nothing."
A self-deprecating look appeared on Weii Fei’s face.
In pursuit of the Immortal Dao, he had wasted so much time, going from a young man to the middle-aged man he was now, with no family or home...
How could he be willing to give up the Immortal Path over a few potential side effects?
Hearing these words, Wei Tu fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
’If I were in his shoes, I probably would have made the same choice.’
’If he didn’t take the Blood Food Pill to cultivate the *Little Erosion Sun Technique*, more than ten years of effort would have all been for nothing.’
’On the other hand, by choosing this path, there might be a way to resolve the consequences in the future.’
’Perhaps once their horizons broadened, they might discover that this technique has no consequences, or that they are minimal.’
"I took one Blood Food Pill and successfully broke through to the Qi Sensing Realm. I still have two left."
Just then, Weii Fei spoke again. He took a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve and placed it next to the *Little Erosion Sun Technique* Immortal Skill.
"After I swallowed the Blood Food Pill, my whole body immediately felt warm and toasty."
"This Pill should be helpful to you too, Third Brother."
"It’s just that..."
A difficult expression appeared on Weii Fei’s face.
Having said that, Weii Fei didn’t continue.
But Wei Tu understood.
Weii Fei meant two things:
First, the origin of the Blood Food Pills was unknown and they could be harmful. Wei Tu had a promising future and should be cautious about taking them.
Second, the remaining two Blood Food Pills might be crucial for his own future Realm breakthroughs, and he wanted to keep them for himself.
After a moment of thought, Wei Tu chuckled and shook his head. "Second Brother, I’m already cultivating the *Five Elements Spirit Body*, and my True Qi has been converted to Thick Earth True Qi... If I took a Blood Food Pill, I’d be afraid the attribute incompatibility would jeopardize my Immortal Path..."
’Given their friendship, he was confident that if he said he wanted the Blood Food Pills for his Cultivation, Weii Fei would definitely not refuse him.’
’Otherwise, Weii Fei wouldn’t have come to him at this time and told him he’d found the *Little Erosion Sun Technique* and three Blood Food Pills.’
’Besides, what he was saying was also true.’
’He had no desire for the Blood Food Pills.’
’With his ’Late Bloomer’ Destiny Chart, it would take him at most another twenty years to break through to the Innate Realm.’
’He could afford to wait.’
’Asking for a Blood Food Pill with unknown consequences for his Cultivation now would be a loss that outweighs the gain if it hindered his Immortal Path.’
When Weii Fei heard Wei Tu’s reply, he looked as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. The knot in his heart untied, he nodded, took the brocade box from the table, and tucked it back into his robes.
...
「Several days later.」
It was June thirteenth once again.
The four of them reunited at Xuanhe Tower.
Following the order of seniority, starting with the eldest, Kou Liang, each of them reported what they had gained over the past year.
Because it had only been a little over half a year since their last gathering at Xuanhe Tower, Kou Liang had nothing new to report.
Soon, it was the second eldest, Weii Fei’s, turn.
Weii Fei didn’t hide anything. He told them about the *Little Erosion Sun Technique* he had discovered in the Hex Family’s ancestral hall, as well as two "Blood Food Pills."
However, compared to his generosity in sharing the Immortal Skill, Weii Fei wouldn’t budge an inch when it came to the "Blood Food Pills."
"The Blood Food Pills are crucial for my future Realm breakthroughs. I can’t be careless with them. I hope you three brothers can be understanding and hold no grudges,"
he said.
