Upon hearing this.
A sharp light flashed in Thirteen Wu's eyes as he sat up straight, shedding some of his laziness.
"This is the greatest difference between the Ascending the Tower Realm and the previous Realms."
"It is also where the true meaning of the words 'Ascending the Tower' lies."
"Compared to the Physical Body, the greatest advantage of the Primordial Spirit is its capacity for inclusion."
"The Physical Body has its limits, and the number of acupoints is fixed, but the Primordial Spirit is formless and shapeless, capable of containing all things."
"The so-called tempering is to find the core materials of the world and forcibly smelt them into the Primordial Spirit."
"Using the power of external objects to compensate for one's own deficiencies."
"If one finds Extreme Yang Fire to merge into the Primordial Spirit, every gesture will bring forth flames that burn the heavens."
"If one finds Extreme Cold Ice to merge into the Primordial Spirit, one can freeze ten thousand miles with a single thought."
Thirteen Wu looked at the young girl and grinned.
"Of course."
"Different paths naturally require different items."
Jiang Yuechu listened intently.
But her mind was racing with calculations.
Smelting external objects into the Primordial Spirit?
This method... why does it sound so familiar?
Not to mention a Cultivation Technique like the Great Black Heaven Body Forging Scripture that places demon souls into the body... back in the Dragon Washing Pool, she seemed to have also obtained a Divine Ability talent.
[Flesh and Bone as a Furnace: One can take Heaven And Earth Treasure, treasure artifact, and Magical Artifact, and integrate them into one's own flesh and bone for nurturing, complementing each other.]
Thinking of this.
A strange look flashed in the girl's eyes.
Uh... then wouldn't that mean... for her, the Physical Body could also be tempered just like the Primordial Spirit?!
Seeing her strange expression, Thirteen Wu thought she was shocked by such means and shook his head quite proudly.
"Girl, do you know how powerful it is now?"
"Since you have now Ascended the Tower, although your Primordial Spirit is formed, it is like a newborn baby, naked and unattached; it looks pure, but in reality, it is most fragile."
"With such a good Foundation, if you don't find some good iron to forge it, wouldn't that be a waste of God's gifts?"
"In this poor Daoist's view, you might as well temporarily put aside those matters of slaughter and go find some Natural Wonders to properly temper this Primordial Spirit."
"When that time comes, it won't be too late to go find trouble with Five Immortals Mountain."
Jiang Yuechu nodded slightly.
"What the Daoist says is very true."
In the previous battle with the Five Immortals, although she had relied on her condensed Primordial Spirit to forcibly crush the opponent.
But when it came to the Primordial Spirit combat later.
Even if the opponents were not of one mind and fought individually.
She still felt restricted everywhere.
If her Primordial Spirit stats hadn't been so incredibly high, she would have likely fallen into a disadvantage long ago.
She intentionally frowned and said with difficulty, "It's just that these Natural Wonders are probably things that can be sought but not easily found. This Junior has just entered this Realm and is completely in the dark, not knowing where to look."
Thirteen Wu chuckled, reached into his robes, pulled out a few booklets, and threw them on the table.
Jiang Yuechu's gaze fell upon them.
"This is..."
Thirteen Wu pointed: "This poor Daoist has a habit of liking to record things... these are all things I've jotted down as I traveled."
"You can take a look; perhaps you can find a few places suitable for your path."
At this point, the old Daoist paused, and his expression became unusually serious.
"For the time being, I will be staying in Chang'an."
"Although the Taia Lineage has rules that one cannot arbitrarily take action against other Dao Lineages or get too deeply involved."
"But if the other party doesn't know what's good for them and dares to actively invade this Chang'an City..."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu's heart stirred slightly.
She reached out and picked up the booklet on the table, flipping through it casually.
The handwriting was messy and flamboyant.
Some parts had topographical maps, some recorded local customs and people, and more were insights and notes regarding certain strange Qi signatures.
For the currently clueless Jiang Yuechu, this item was truly important.
Jiang Yuechu closed the booklet and tucked it into her robes.
Then she took half a step back and gave the old Daoist a solemn bow.
"Thank you, Daoist."
This bow was to show gratitude for his guidance.
Thirteen Wu accepted the bow but waved his hand.
He naturally didn't do this without selfish motives.
Firstly, it was indeed out of sentiment for his homeland.
Secondly... the old Daoist's eyes darted around, and his gaze fell on the boy sitting upright nearby.
"This poor Daoist also has an audacious request."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuechu raised her eyes.
Thirteen Wu cleared his throat and pointed at the boy: "This Disciple of mine, although he has been by my side for some years and has learned some skills."
"Unfortunately... he has always been protected under my wing and hasn't experienced much hardship. His personality is too mischievous, and he doesn't know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth."
"If you are going to search for those tempering materials, this journey will inevitably involve dangers and crossing mountains and rivers."
"Could you take him with you?"
"It would also allow him to broaden his horizons and learn that there is always someone better and a sky beyond the sky, so he doesn't spend all day like a frog at the bottom of a well, not knowing anything."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise appeared in Jiang Yuechu's eyes.
Take a tag-along?
She instinctively turned her head to look at the boy who had remained silent.
She saw that since Jiang Yuechu had pushed the door open, the boy had been quiet, no longer as boisterous as before.
Hearing his Master's words now.
The boy's face turned red, but he kept a straight face, putting on the appearance of a mature young man.
Forcing himself to stay calm, he coughed twice, clasped his hands, and gave Jiang Yuechu a bow.
"That..."
"I... although I am young, I am not a powerless weakling."
"On this journey, I will certainly follow your orders and will never cause trouble for you."
"..."
Jiang Yuechu was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not difficult to take him along."
"Just... if we encounter trouble that even I can't deal with, and I can't even protect myself..."
The old Daoist waved his hand: "Don't worry about that."
"Although this boy looks like a child, in reality, his Primordial Spirit merged with a special object, which is why he returned to his youth and became this way."
"If we're really talking about age... he's more than old enough to be your grandfather."
"Master!"
The boy ground his teeth and said, "Can't you leave me some dignity in front of an outsider?!"
Who reveals someone's secrets right from the start?
"Fine, fine, fine, you say it yourself, you say it yourself."
Thirteen Wu shrugged.
How could he not know what this Disciple was thinking?
It was nothing more than seeing that Jiang Yuechu was young and beautiful and wanting to use his appearance to deceive her and take some advantage later.
But anyone else would be fine.
This girl... tsk.
He couldn't let him mess around.
The boy took a deep breath.
He straightened his clothes.
Although he wasn't tall, barely taller than the table.
But at this moment.
His childish air vanished completely.
"I am Wang Ziyu."
"Successor of the Taia Lineage, Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven."
"Second Level of Ascending the Tower."
"..."
Jiang Yuechu's eyelid twitched slightly.
"Second Level of Ascending the Tower?"
Since he was even a level higher than herself.
Then there was nothing more to say.
Jiang Yuechu turned and pushed the door.
"In that case."
"Let's go."
