Chapter 417: Chapter 157 Heaven Silkworm Technique! Hundred Herbs Essence!_1

“Is this… a Divine Intent Picture?”

With Su Changkong’s knowledge, he quickly recognized that the pattern engraved under the pond was indeed a Divine Intent Picture!

Seeing Su Changkong standing there, transfixed, Qian Rui hesitated about whether to seize the chance to attack. However, the thought was quickly dismissed. Su Changkong harbored no killing intent, and if he were to strike, it was highly likely he wouldn’t be able to do anything to Su Changkong and might instead enrage him.

Su Changkong regained his senses and turned his head to look at Qian Rui, “Is there a Divine Intent Picture underneath this pond?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Rui looked into the pond and also saw the pattern of the silkworm cocoon. He hesitated for a moment but still nodded, “Hmm… yes, a Divine Intent Picture, the Divine Intent Picture of the Heaven Silkworm Technique.”

“Heaven Silkworm Technique?”

Su Changkong’s heart stirred.

He had previously heard from Dr. Huashan that Old Man Qishi possessed the ability to reattach severed limbs and veins, but this was clearly not within the realm of medicine. No matter how skilled, medicine cannot regenerate severed limbs, so this must be a martial art with extremely strong healing and recovery powers!

Could it be that Old Man Qishi practiced this Heaven Silkworm Technique?

“Can this Heaven Silkworm Technique really help reattach severed veins?”

Su Changkong immediately asked Qian Rui, staring at him intently.

Qian Rui was a disciple of Old Man Qishi and certainly knew the wondrous aspects of this Heaven Silkworm Technique!

Qian Rui hesitated, but upon seeing Su Changkong’s fervent gaze, he finally nodded, “Hmm… the Heaven Silkworm Technique. This cultivation technique was obtained by chance by our sect’s founder, who then cultivated it to an extremely profound level, leaving behind this Divine Intent Picture in the Heaven Silkworm Cave. When the Heaven Silkworm Technique is cultivated to a profound state, it can produce Heaven Silkworm True Qi, condensing qi into threads, possessing all kinds of mysteries… To cultivate it to a high realm, reattaching severed veins is no difficult feat.”

“As I thought!”

Old Man Qishi’s ability to reattach severed veins wasn’t thanks to medical skills but because he mastered the Heaven Silkworm Technique!

Since Old Man Qishi had already died while meditating and could no longer help him reconnect his veins, why not cultivate it himself? If he managed to master the Heaven Silkworm Technique, couldn’t he reconnect his own severed veins?

Of course, Su Changkong also had his concerns. His meridians were completely severed, he couldn’t refine the potent essence of pill medicines, nor could he practice martial arts. His cultivation of the Five Animal Frolics relied on the practice with intent.

Whether it was possible to cultivate the Heaven Silkworm Technique with severed meridians was still a question.

But regardless, one has only to try to find out!

“Brother Qian, I may need to stay here for a while,”

Su Changkong stated as he stared at the Divine Intent Picture engraved at the bottom of the pond.

Qian Rui felt a shock in his heart, instantly understanding Su Changkong’s intent. Was he planning to cultivate the Heaven Silkworm Technique on his own and then reconstruct his meridian system?

But wasn’t Su Changkong’s meridian system destroyed? How could he possibly cultivate the Heaven Silkworm True Qi?

Moreover, in the Heaven Silkworm Cave, there was only a Divine Intent Picture without the corresponding cultivation techniques. Relying on just a Divine Intent Picture alone made even beginning the practice extremely difficult, not to mention achieving significant cultivation.

Most importantly, the Heaven Silkworm Technique was incredibly difficult to cultivate, demanding exceedingly strict requirements from practitioners.

In the thousand-year history of the Spirit Taoist Sect, only three people had successfully cultivated the Heaven Silkworm Technique. One was the founder of the Spirit Taoist Sect who left behind the Divine Intent Picture, one was the sect master from five hundred years ago, and one was Old Man Qishi.

The Heaven Silkworm Technique was extraordinary. Apart from Old Man Qishi within the Spirit Taoist Sect, the Sect Master Helian Yuan, elders, and others had also tried to cultivate it in the past but made slow progress and eventually gave up. Only Old Man Qishi had a particularly exceptional talent for the Heaven Silkworm Technique and achieved success.

Let alone not having the written version of the cultivation technique. Even if it were available, giving it to Su Changkong would not guarantee his success, especially since Su Changkong was suspected of having completely destroyed meridians. Combining all these unfavorable conditions, the likelihood of cultivating the Heaven Silkworm Technique to help himself reconstruct his severed veins was almost impossible!

After carefully considering his words, Qian Rui cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Su, I know you are eager to reconstruct and reconnect your severed veins, but there is only one Divine Intent Picture in this Heaven Silkworm Cave. How about we go see the Sect Master first? If you explain everything, perhaps the Sect Master might make an exception and give you the complete cultivation method for the Heaven Silkworm Technique…”

Qian Rui wanted to persuade Su Changkong to take the initiative to meet with Helian Yuan and others, thus gaining an advantageous position.

Su Changkong considered it briefly, then immediately dismissed the idea.

After all, he was just an outsider. The Heaven Silkworm Technique was a closely guarded secret of the Spirit Taoist Sect, and very few were qualified to learn it. All major sects highly valued their martial arts scriptures and techniques; how could they easily pass them on to an outsider?

Moreover, Su Changkong realized that what he had done that evening was indeed improper and somewhat disgraceful. Forcibly intruding into the forbidden area of the Spirit Taoist Sect, if he went to see Helian Yuan, it would be entirely normal for Helian Yuan to react with anger, draw a sword and confront him, let alone give him the complete Heaven Silkworm Technique!

Su Changkong was indeed deeply desirous of recovering his meridian system. As for everything else, that could wait until after his meridians were restored!

Without the written version of the cultivation technique, relying solely on a Divine Intent Picture would be extremely difficult for others to even begin practicing. But for Su Changkong, it was enough!

In the past, Su Changkong cultivated the Giant Whale Technique by relying on a Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture, reaching a non-negligible realm. Now, his potential was even higher than before. It might not be hopeless to cultivate the Heaven Silkworm Technique relying on a Divine Intent Picture alone.

Su Changkong’s biggest worry was still the complete destruction of his meridians and whether he could cultivate the Heaven Silkworm Technique.

Thinking of this, Su Changkong said to Qian Rui, “No need, Brother Qian… I’ll have to inconvenience you, my apologies!
