I stepped up to him and walked a few laps around him allowing my energy to flow into the world and form the energy rings.
"Which set of waylines do you want, a pugilist's, a saint's, or a warlock's," I asked him in a sour tone, I still couldn't believe what I was about to do.
I was going to waste a valuable set of ingredients on this audacious child.
He seemed to hesitate with his answer, but I understood why in the next instant, "All of them," he said at barely a whisper.
I felt my entire body jerk forward and my heart jumped to my throat, if I do this the elders in the family are going to be so mad, but I had no choice it was in the script I had to agree.
I probably released a bit of killing intent because he quickly began to speak, and what he told me completely blew my mind away.
"I promised you knowledge of the third accord," Lucian cried out to me he had already exposed himself and opened his energy points so he had no choice but to divulge these secrets at first I expected to hear a bunch of crap, but then he got started and I knew that even immortals would kill for this knowledge.
And so, he began to tell me things that would change my understanding of cultivating for ever.
"There are four know techniques that people use to enter into the third accord, however two of them create false espers, one of them creates apostles, and one of them enables one to pursue godhood."
Let start of from the first accord, it has three focuses, namely warriors, mages, and psychics, and each focus has five stages, elementary, basic, intermediate, advanced and perfected, the stages depend on how many energy points we open, the number of energy points used is respective to the stage 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
But as we know each focus has 36 energy points, however the first accord limitations stops us from creating techniques that use more than 12 energy points for a single technique.
This is where the first accord and second accord meet.
To achieve the second accord there are 3 fundamental requirements, the first is to have two perfect first accord techniques with excellent synergy, this lays the foundation to create a second accord technique.
However an elementary second accord technique requires 32 open energy points, 16 on each focus.
And that's where the second requirement comes in, the Amatesh Spindling, it's the main ingredient that creates the waylines joining the points of the two focuses.
Finally you use the 24 energy points of the two perfected first accord techniques as a foundation to build your 32 energy point second accord technique, by breaking this barrier you can use up to 24 energy points from each focus.
Now we can start with the second accord, it is comprised, of Pugilist, Saints and Warlocks, and they too have five stages, elementary, basic, intermediate, advanced, and perfected, with the respective energy point allocation of 32, 36, 40, 44, 48.
This is where we look at the 4 third accord techniques that I mentioned earlier and we'll start with the most basic of them.
The first technique is done by most ordinary people that don't have any reference on how to achieve the next level, they use the waylines to join all three focus's of the first accord, this does give them a great boost in power, that can contend with second accord combatants, however every time they use this power they deplete their life force, those that use this method to gain power, are lucky to live to 50 000 years and will never become an immortal.
The second technique is most commonly used to complete the process of becoming an immortal, when one enters the second accord only two centres of power can achieve the immortal realm while the third centre of power, that is from the first accord cannot make that break through.
In this case the cultivator will use their second accord source and create a wayline linking to the first accord centre of power and they will create a technique that uses their second accord source to grow their first accord centre of power.

A/N: This technique is what Anya uses, she is a saint which mean she lacks powerful mana, however her bloody world currents, are born from her mixing her saint slaughter energy into her mana pool.
---
This brings us to the third method, the method that turns a cultivator into an apostle.
In general when someone uses two second accord techniques from different focus's for example, a saint technique and a warlock technique, it strains the overlapping energy centre which is the mind and kills the cultivator, this however can be avoided it someone obtains a gods breath, the gods breath remove the strain and allows one become their apostle.
However, this technique does have a drawback, an apostle can break the barrier of immortals, to become a lesser god, however they will gain no more power, they will never be an equal to a true god and they become servants of the god whose breath they used.
Then there is the last technique, the true technique, which is to create balance between the three focus's of the second accord, and cultivate a warlock, saint, and pugilist technique, it is the most difficult challenge for any cultivator.
It requires every energy point to be used twice, just to establish the foundation of the third accord technique.
Then a material only found in the immortal realm called 'Amatesh Shards' has to be used to draw the waylines joining the three focuses of the second accord together, a minimum of 72 energy points is used to create the foundation of the third accord esper technique.
Esper techniques don't have specific focuses as they are all encompassing, while they do enhance all three centres of power, they can focus on specific areas.
Esper techniques do possess, different stages just like all the other accords, elementary, basic, intermediate, advanced and perfected, requiring 84, 90, 96, 102, and lastly 108 energy points, pushing the cultivator to the absolute limit.
When Lucian finished explaining I had been completely absorbed by his words, how does he know such things, I couldn't imagine, and as much as I wanted to asked him, I knew that I had already learned a secret that was worth quintillions of these ingredients to create the waylines.
I had no idea how to quantify the value of what he told me, I now realise that the reason he seemed reluctant to say anything to me wasn't because he was asking for a lot, it was because even if I offered all things in the mortal realm to him, it simply wasn't worth the value of what he told me.
My road until this point had been the second technique which was what would create a true immortal, but is what Lucian called a false esper technique, so I looked at the script in my head and cried out a hundred praises to its greatness, thanks to the script I didn't kill him, or make him hate me, and look at what I got a gift like no other.
I went to him eagerly, and took all three sets of ingredients, it was just as he said, the Amatesh Spindles were the main ingredient, it was fine purplish thread, thinner than a hair by a thousand times, yet it was tougher than mithril.
As I brought it to his body the tread reached out and coiled around his open energy points, and it was then that I got another shock of my life, this man all 108 of his energy points were completely open.
Even at my age I still had 14 to go, and each one got only harder to open, looking at him I couldn't help but feel envy, there was something special about his body that I didn't understand, but today was the day on which I was truly learning about things I did not understand.
I had no right to ask anything of him, and for this first time I didn't need the script to remind me to follow it, and so I began the process.
I planned to take some time, we usually draw waylines over the course of six months, it's a painful process like no other, and we don't add more than an inch at a time, because of his desire to draw it for all three of his energy centre's it should have taken 18 months almost a full year to complete, however as I stitched it into his body, he released a grunt in complaint at most.
I could hardly believe it, the first time I had mine drawn, I couldn't move for a week and I wanted to quite being a cultivator, and to my surprise within 36 hours I had completely drawn the waylines and I watched as the fine purple thread sunk into his skin.
Then I stepped back watching him carefully and bowed my head, from what he had told me what choice did I have but to show my utmost respect, he might be a mortal and I a seventh grade pugilist, but it was clear in my eyes, who the true superior existence was.
I couldn't begin to imagine what he had gone through to learn such secrets, and yet he had given them to me a complete stranger, but I had to admit one thing, something about all of this was fishy, I just couldn't place my finger on it.
