Chapter 506: Passing on Immortal Techniques, Two Late-Stage Qi Refining Individuals

In the Shadow Palace Garden.

"Dad, Sasuke asked me to teach him Sage Mode. Do you think I should teach him?"

Nanami's question clearly startled Ryuun.

"He asked you for guidance on immortal techniques? And you didn't just agree to it?"

Liu Yun felt that, given Nanami's personality, she would most likely not refuse Sasuke's request for guidance, so why would she ask him if he wanted her to teach her?

"No... I said I needed to ask Dad first, since you were the one who taught me the magic, so I definitely needed to ask your opinion..."

If it were when she was little, Nanami would have taught her without a second thought, but now that she's grown up, she thinks things through before acting...

"Ha ha……"

Liu Yun suddenly burst out laughing.

He recalled his childhood days at ninja academy, when he used his throwing skills to trick the red-haired family into revealing their ancestral sealing technique, and the big dummy Kushina agreed without even a second thought...

He always felt that his daughter had a personality like a red-haired man, but he never expected that when faced with a handsome man's coaxing, his daughter could still stay clear-headed and think about her own feelings. It was worth all the years of loving his daughter.

Hearing this inexplicable laughter, Nanami asked in confusion, "Dad, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing... I'm just a little surprised, after all, I heard from your mother that you still have feelings for Sasuke."

"I feel like Dad doesn't really like Sasuke... I'm afraid you'll be upset if I teach him Sage Mode without your permission..."

The conversation between the father and daughter was very straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

"When did I say I didn't like Sasuke?" Liu Yun asked with a chuckle.

“You didn’t say it, I just felt it…” Nanami rolled her eyes at him and said casually.

"Then you might be mistaken... Apart from being a bit arrogant, there's really nothing about that guy that I find annoying..."

Liu Yun genuinely didn't dislike that kid; after all, Uchiha Sasuke was one of the few normal young men in the entire ninja world with a normal set of values.

Sasuke is usually aloof and loves to act, but he never dares to act aloof in front of the Ryuun family. When he finally obtained the power of the Six Paths and tried to act aloof in front of his uncle, he was severely taught a lesson.

It's normal for him to harbor resentment towards Liuyun because of his brother's death. He was able to let it go, and Liuyun certainly wouldn't hold a grudge because of Sasuke's disobedience.

"Really? But sometimes I feel like... the way you look at him... isn't very friendly?" It was a guarded look, and Nanami didn't know why her father looked at her like that...

"No way! Don't talk nonsense..." Liu Yun denied it outright.

"Alright... So, can I teach him Sage Mode or not?" Nanami smiled helplessly and brought the topic back to the beginning.

“I’ll teach them… Go and call all the Akatsuki members over, including Sasuke, Guy, Minato, Orochimaru, and others…” Ryuun planned to teach them Sage Mode.

Soon after, everyone obeyed the order and gathered in the Shadow Palace Garden. The flowing clouds swept everyone up and used space-time ninjutsu to directly arrive at Mount Myōboku.

Everyone who arrived at the sacred site of Mount Myoboku was quite surprised and curious, but after hearing the purpose of Ryuyun's visit, they all became excited.

"Quiet down, everyone. I will now teach you the methods of cultivating immortality. Listen carefully and learn diligently. This is a method that can truly make you transcend the mundane. As long as you are willing to work hard to cultivate the immortal techniques, moving mountains and filling seas, traveling the world, and achieving immortality... these will no longer be just dreams!"

Liu Yun's words completely stirred up everyone's enthusiasm. They never expected that their leader would be willing to selflessly pass on such a heaven-defying skill from the number one war god in the ninja world.

"Liuyun-kun, the immortal technique you mentioned, could it be the kind of immortal mode that can exist eternally without needing to be activated?" Minato suddenly raised his hand and asked.

"Of course, it's not Sage Mode. My Sage Art can convert all the chakra in your bodies into Sage Power, and Sage Power is permanent. As long as you master it, you can become Sages in the truest sense!"

"Having learned Sage Mode before does not prevent me from continuing to cultivate my Sage Techniques."

Ryuun offered an explanation, explaining that people like Minato and Orochimaru could learn Ryuun's Sage Technique much more easily because they understood what natural energy was, and they grasped many concepts with just a little explanation from Ryuun.

"The first step in cultivating immortality is to focus all your attention on sensing the invisible and intangible natural energy in the world. This natural energy feels like special gases floating around us. What you need to do is absorb these gases into your body and refine them. I call the first stage of cultivating immortality 'Qi Refining'!"

Within the territory of Mount Myōboku, which belonged to Ryūun, the crowd sat cross-legged on the ground, listening attentively to his sermon.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the natural energy surrounding everyone instantly intensified.

Liu Yun's explanation was extremely detailed and thorough. He broke down the complex Sage Techniques step by step and presented them to everyone. At that moment, even Orochimaru and Minato, who had already mastered Sage Mode, were able to gain new knowledge from this explanation.

In the distance, the hermit Fukasaku, the head of Mount Myōboku, quietly watched this scene, but he did not cross the boundary to disturb the human's cultivation.

As time went by, ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Orochimaru, the pseudo-sage who had mastered Sage Mode, was the first to completely refine his chakra into Sage power and stepped into the late stage of Qi Refining.

Following Orochimaru, Minato also completed his power transformation soon after, becoming a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator as well. Both of them were filled with powerful Sage Magic, and they felt that they were several times stronger than when they had activated Sage Mode before!

Seeing that the two had greatly increased their strength in just over ten days, everyone was amazed by the power of the Sage Art. Sasuke, Deidara, and others were especially excited and became even more diligent and hardworking in their training.

"You haven't reached perfection in the Qi Refining realm yet, so you still need to keep working hard..." Half a month later, Liu Yun reappeared at Mount Miaomu and affirmed the achievements of the two.

He has his own things to do, so he won't stay at Mount Myōboku to supervise everyone's training.

Normally, if these people have any questions, they can ask Orochimaru or Minato first, as the two of them can usually answer questions for Ryuun.

In half a month, most people can only sense natural energy. It is not so simple to absorb it into their bodies. These people will probably have to stay in Mount Myoboku for a long time!

Of course, Liu Yun's arrival will not only answer everyone's questions about cultivating immortality, but will also take away some people who are unwilling to cultivate immortality or who lack the talent for it.

Kakuzu was the first among the Akatsuki members to give up. His existence was very special. The Earth Grudge gave him five hearts and a long lifespan, but it hindered his perception of natural energy. So in the end, he had no choice but to give up.

Ryuun understood this and took him with him when he left.

As soon as Kakuzu returned to Ten'in Village, he went straight to the national treasury. He had been so desperate for money for the past two weeks that he was practically going crazy...
