Inside the thatched hut.

Jiang Ning slightly closed his eyes, digesting the information in his mind.

After a moment.

He successfully absorbed the information in his mind.

The unification of true self, the strengthening of the divine, made his speed of thought completely different.

He also understood the outline and theory of the Three Flowers Secret Record.

This is a secret technique, not a Martial Arts Skill.

In this secret technique.

Using Essence Qi, Qi-Blood, and Spirit to condense three flowers.

Among them, the "Flower of Essence" requires vast Qi-Blood as soil to nurture a red flower.

The "Flower of Qi" requires one’s own True Yuan as a fountain to cultivate a golden flower.

The "Divine Flower" needs one’s spirit as fire to ignite a silver flower.

When the three flowers fully bloom and flourish.

It becomes the stage of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

The three flowers bloom the same, with matching petals, achieving balance.

And among the three, they resonate and circulate endlessly, profound beyond compare.

When the Flower of Essence blooms, it can nourish the flesh, accelerating the transformation of the physical body and further uncovering its potential.

When the Flower of Qi blossoms, it can purify True Yuan, allowing one’s energy to merge with the outer world, endless in vitality.

When the Divine Flower shines, it lightens and amplifies comprehension.

The three nourish each other, forming a positive cycle, accelerating the elevation of life’s level.

Thus, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top also has a saying, forging the Dao foundation.

The Dao is not the great Dao, but one’s personal Dao, the Dao of the human body, the Dao of origin.

To reach higher, further, faster.

One must transcend Essence Qi, Qi-Blood, and Spirit, condense the three flowers, and forge a solid foundation for one’s Dao.

He opened his eyes slowly, completely mastering the Three Flowers Secret Record.

"How is it?" The elder looked at Jiang Ning, sipped steaming tea, and asked.

"It is truly a Supreme Secret Method!" Jiang Ning replied.

The elder drank tea, his expression no different from an elder on the street.

He nodded slowly: "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is the product of transcending Essence Qi, Qi-Blood, and Spirit, it is the path to the pinnacle of Dao!"

"Currently, it can also resolve your predicament."

"You are strong in spirit but weak in Essence and Qi, severely imbalanced."

"Ordinary methods either suppress the spirit or arduously elevate Essence and Qi, a difficult and slow process that may leave flaws."

"But by transcending Essence Qi, Qi-Blood, and Spirit, gathering the three flowers, you only need the same number of petals to balance them, thus breaking your predicament in one step!"

Listening to the elder’s words.

Jiang Ning immediately stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed to the elder.

"Thank you, Residence Master!"

The elder slightly nodded in response, showing no intention to refuse.

To pass down the Dao and impart the technique is a tremendous favor.

Faced with Jiang Ning’s bow, he accepted it with ease.

This method of the Three Flowers Secret Record, aside from the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, he confidently claimed to be the only one of its kind.

Back then, to perfect the path, he dug graves and plundered many tombs.

As for books, he read extensively, as vast as the sea of stars, innumerable.

He divided the path of Martial Arts further, refining it beyond its foundational structure.

The cultivation of Martial Arts Nine Grade, he stood on the shoulders of predecessors, optimized and improved.

He confidently claimed his understanding of Martial Arts to be the best of the current era.

"Next, you only need to use this method to transcend Essence Qi, Qi-Blood, and Spirit, gather the three flowers, and enter the First Grade Mixed Element Realm." The elder spoke.

Then he said to Jiang Ning: "Will you gather the three flowers in the outside world or here in this Pocket World? In this Pocket World, I can assist you with the origin of the Grotto Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyes sparkled.

Then he bowed to the elder.

"I ask for the Residence Master’s assistance!"

Thoughts flowed, he had made up his mind.

He currently lacks time.

In the outside world, to gather the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top would require repeatedly exhausting and restoring Essence Qi, Qi-Blood, and Spirit.

Without the assistance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, every cycle of gathering and exhaustion would need considerable time.

And he is currently short on time.

As for the elder before him, though he can’t fully trust.

He can preliminarily judge that this elder, once unrivaled in the world, bears no malice towards him now.

Although the elder appears decrepit, life force fading, like a candle in the wind.

He understands that a camel, though lean, is bigger than a horse.

With the elder’s foundation, a mere two actions would shake the world.

Though not at his peak now, he can still oppress the world, silencing it.

While his strength is decent now, he has no qualification to contend before the elder.

If the elder meant harm, he is utterly powerless to resist now.

So in just a moment, he made his decision.

The elder looked at Jiang Ning and nodded slowly: "If that’s the case, start here! Given your comprehension and foundation, thoroughly mastering this secret technique should not be difficult! Three to five days should suffice!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Then he sat cross-legged directly in the thatched hut’s courtyard.

The next moment.

The Three Flowers Secret Record resurfaced in his mind.

At this moment, his thoughts raced wildly, meticulously contemplating essential points.

After just a brief ponder, his Heart Spirit stirred, and he entered his Inner Realm.

At the same time.

The elder watching Jiang Ning suddenly paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Inner Realm!"

He slowly uttered three words and then smiled faintly.

"Indeed a prodigy! When I was his age, I paled in comparison!"

At this moment, he shook his head at Jiang Ning.

Seeming regretful, seeming disappointed...

"Born three hundred years ago, my path would not be lonely!" he sighed softly.

Just then.

He suddenly felt the change in Jiang Ning’s spirit, as the mental entity returned from the Inner Realm to the physical body.
