Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Cultivating the Son of Fortune! (Extra release for a sunny day)
The lowest in cultivation, Shen Xiaoyao, had only condensed his Nascent Soul in the Golden Core Realm. During his state of sudden enlightenment, he took merely half a day to enter the Nascent Soul Realm.
“How did I breakthrough?” Shen Xiaoyao awoke from his state of sudden enlightenment, feeling as if he had taken a nap, only to suddenly discover his cultivation had soared, directly rising from the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm to the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Ignoring his continued fishing, he excitedly ran to his master for advice, “Master, I was just fishing, and somehow, I entered the Nascent Soul Realm!”
“…”
Lu Changsheng was almost at a loss for words.
His little disciple indeed was a Son of Fortune, accidentally entering the state of sudden enlightenment longed for by cultivators even while fishing.
This kind of heaven-defying Qi Destiny is truly unmatched.
Luckily, he had the discerning eye to take in the Son of Fortune as his disciple; otherwise, if Shen Xiaoyao became a disciple of the sect masters of the four Great Demon Sects, the six great sects would have faced calamity.
Lu Changsheng had thought it through carefully: to deal with a Son of Fortune, one would need to find a way to sever his Qi Destiny.
However, only a great divine power practitioner could accomplish such a task, and there’s no such person at that level in Xia State.
[Ding, your fourth disciple “Shen Xiaoyao” has advanced from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm. You received disciple’s realm advancement rewards: 99 chances for combat simulation and 9999 days of cultivation.]
Lu Changsheng suddenly gained more than twenty years worth of cultivation and 99 more opportunities for combat simulation.
Combat simulation opportunities can be used to comprehend swordsmanship, martial techniques, simulate life-and-death battles, and accumulate experience.
In combat simulation, even if killed, one will not truly die, and can experience life-and-death battles multiple times, which is greatly beneficial for cultivation.
With a single moment of sudden enlightenment, Shen Xiaoyao improved both a minor and a major realm; apart from the Heaven Rank high-grade sword technique “Ten Thousand Swords Art” which wasn’t at great perfection, all other cultivation techniques had already reached perfection.
[Name: Shen Xiaoyao]
[Race: Human]
[Talent: Son of Fortune, Wind Spirit Root]
[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Realm Level One]
[Dao Bone: 18 years]
[Merit Points: 3145]
[Cultivation Technique: Wind-Control Skills (Perfected)]
[Martial Techniques: Ten Thousand Swords Art (1/10), Tiangang Sword Qi (Perfected)]
[Magical Treasures: Wind Chasing Sword (High-Grade Spiritual Artifact), Mount Shu Disciple Daoist Robe (Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifact)]
Shen Xiaoyao possessed a set of swordsmanship from a Nameless Swordsman, a Heaven Rank high-grade sword technique, of which Shen Xiaoyao had merely scratched the surface.
Lu Changsheng sensed that this sword technique had subtle similarities to other techniques of Mount Shu. Could it be that the Nameless Swordsman who saved Shen Xiaoyao was connected to Mount Shu?
If there was no connection, then why impart such a unique skill to Shen Xiaoyao?
Thinking this way, Mount Shu’s network of connections seemed even more formidable than he had thought.
Apart from Qingyun Peak, the young generation of Mount Shu elders included Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, Murong Shi, Zhao Wuyan, Chen Yao, Fairy Qingru, Tian Song Elder, Xiao Xiangdao, and other geniuses.
As for the elders from a thousand years ago, if they hadn’t perished midway and stepped into the Void Refinement Realm, and were still alive by now, then their combat power would be incredibly terrifying.
As for those peerless geniuses of Mount Shu from the era of the Taiyuan true person who had cultivated for two to three thousand years, the Supreme Elders, their cultivation is even more extraordinary.
“Now that you have cultivated the ‘Ten Thousand Swords Art’, you may focus solely on this sword technique. I will not impart any other swordsmanship to you,” said Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng did not have any sword techniques higher than the “Ten Thousand Swords Art”. Moreover, even if he had an Immortal Rank sword technique, it would be too difficult for Shen Xiaoyao at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Shen Xiaoyao was caught in a dilemma, “But, master, that technique was imparted to me by an outsider. By doing this, wouldn’t I be letting down our sect?”
“What does that matter?”
Lu Changsheng wasn’t concerned in the least.
As long as it can enhance strength, it’s fine to cultivate the cultivation techniques from other sects, just don’t join the Demon Sects.
“Disciple understands.”
Shen Xiaoyao secretly sighs in his heart, his master is truly magnanimous.
“Your Wind-Control Skills have already reached Great Perfection, so as your master, I’ll impart to you the Earth Rank high-grade cultivation technique ‘True Manual of Storms’.”
Lu Changsheng takes out a new cultivation technique.
Since Shen Xiaoyao has a Wind Spirit Root, he’s even more suited to cultivation techniques of the wind attribute.
Lu Changsheng doesn’t make all disciples cultivate the same technique.
Each disciple has different aptitudes, and cultivating the same technique would yield different benefits.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Shen Xiaoyao” with a Profound Rank mid-grade cultivation technique ‘True Manual of Storms’, and you have received a thousand-fold return reward as a teacher: a Heaven Rank high-grade cultivation technique ‘Immortal Wind Cloud Body Art’.]
After Lu Changsheng taught Shen Xiaoyao the introductory mnemonic verses of ‘True Manual of Storms’, the system returned a Heaven Rank high-grade cultivation technique.
Lu Changsheng silently stores away this technique, which he can reward Shen Xiaoyao with in the future.
‘Ten Thousand Swords Art’ combined with ‘Immortal Wind Cloud Body Art’, and Shen Xiaoyao truly has the potential to become a great hero of his generation.
“This high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure ‘Gentle Finger Sword’ can replace your current Wind Chasing Sword. As for the Wind Chasing Sword, keep it as a flying sword for transportation.”
Lu Changsheng takes out a flying sword, which is light as a feather and incredibly fast.
“Thank you, Master!”
Shen Xiaoyao is overjoyed.
He had long heard from his senior brothers and sisters that their master is generous and never hoards treasures for himself. If it were not for their low cultivation, perhaps the master would even reward them with Immortal Artifacts.
Every time a disciple makes a major advancement, the master thoughtfully prepares a new disciple gift pack for them.
How could there be such a generous master in the world?
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Shen Xiaoyao” with a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Gentle Finger Sword”, and you have received a hundred-fold return reward as a teacher: a mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Dustless Sword”.]
Lu Changsheng obtains another Innate Flying Sword.
Lu Changsheng is cultivating the third layer of the Tiangang Sword Formation, which requires eighteen Innate Spirit Treasure Flying Swords to unleash its tremendous power.
Next, Lu Changsheng rewards Shen Xiaoyao with a low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Mount Shu Elder Daoist Robe” produced in bulk by Mount Shu.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Shen Xiaoyao” with a low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Mount Shu Elder Daoist Robe”, and you have received a ten-thousand-fold return reward as a teacher: a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Taiji Dao Robe”.]
Lu Changsheng’s Qilin Cloud Pattern Daoist Robe was damaged during the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation, and now with the acquisition of the high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure Taiji Dao Robe, it is perfect to replace the damaged one.
Lu Changsheng’s physique is comparable to a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and now with the Taiji Dao Robe, he effectively has another defensive artifact inside the Mysterious Yellow Tower.
Finally, Lu Changsheng rewards Shen Xiaoyao with a fourth-rank Earth Escape Talisman and receives in return a sixth-rank Earth Escape Divine Talisman.
The sixth-rank Earth Escape Divine Talisman can be rewarded to Lin Qingzhi, with a chance of receiving an eighth-rank Shrinking Earth to Inches Talisman or a ninth-rank Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talisman.
Lu Changsheng doesn’t forget to perform the Power-infusing Initiation for Shen Xiaoyao, returning 800 days of Heavenly Cultivation in the process.
Shen Xiaoyao continues to cultivate ‘Ten Thousand Swords Art’ and ‘True Manual of Storms’.
Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique breakthrough will take a long time, and the Red Lotus phenomenon persists above Qingyun Peak.
Inside the barrier, the Fire Lotus blooms, and signs of the barrier collapsing are apparent.
Lu Changsheng frowns, takes out the fire attribute Immortal Artifact “Holy Fire Immortal Ring”, and attempts to stabilize the cave dwelling’s barrier.
As soon as the Holy Fire Immortal Ring is deployed, the terrifying pressure makes the whole Qingyun Peak tremble.
