Lin Qingzhi’s Green Abyss Sword pierced through Sima Kuang’s chest, and the fierce Sword Qi tore through Sima Kuang’s meridians, causing blood to spill.
“Who would’ve thought that after roaming the jianghu for so many years, I would actually be plotted against, plotted against by a youngster like you…” As Sima Kuang neared death, he glared with eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
He never expected Lin Qingzhi, who was so young, to have reached the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm and had all along concealed his abilities.
A single misstep in the game had marked the difference between life and death.
The Loose Cultivators from Ji Country who surrounded Sima Kuang all stood frozen in place, and their gazes toward Lin Qingzhi were as if they were looking at a monster.
The vile and deeply scheming Sima Kuang, died under the sword of an unknown junior.
“I never would have guessed that young friend is actually an elusive expert, my apologies, my apologies!”
Ji Country’s Great General Chu Yu, upon seeing Sima Kuang killed, was greatly shocked.
Lin Qingzhi’s cultivation was higher than his, which made him respect Lin Qingzhi involuntarily.
Not only that, but considering Lin Qingzhi’s young age and his level of cultivation, Chu Yu firmly believed that there must be an exceptional expert guiding him, or he wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death.
“So this is your true cultivation, the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm… you were indeed holding back against me before…”
Chen Yao, too, was astonished by Lin Qingzhi’s true display of cultivation.
What was most rare was Lin Qingzhi’s temperament.
Despite having such cultivation, he could have completely defeated her and Xiao Xiangdao in the Mount Shu disciples’ conference and taken first place, but he chose to withdraw halfway through.
With the death of Sima Kuang, the highest cultivation bandit among the eight hundred, the other bandits were subsequently exterminated by the Ji Country’s army and numerous Loose Cultivators.
Lu Changsheng, observing secretly, saw his disciple kill Sima Kuang with a concealed ability and a single sword strike, knowing that the following battle would have no suspense, thus he discontinued the Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking.
Though the Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking was mysterious and allowed one to observe scenes from ten thousand li away, it required a vast amount of Spiritual Energy.
With Lu Changsheng’s current state, he could not sustain it for a very long time.
“My disciple’s tribulations are still several months away. When the time comes, I will descend the mountain to help him through the dangers.”
Lu Changsheng saw Lin Qingzhi making great progress during his trials and was very pleased, so he continued to cultivate the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
The Taiqing Wuji Technique was profoundly mysterious, and even for Lu Changsheng, who possessed the Innate Taoist Body, the fifth level of the technique was exceedingly difficult.
” I wonder what level of cultivation one must attain to comprehend the ninth level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique. The creator of this technique, Nameless True Person, was indeed extraordinary.”
Lu Changsheng meditated in seclusion for three days and three nights and only then grasped a small part of the fifth level. To fully comprehend the fifth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique was still far off.
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, having already heard Lian’s footsteps.
Sure enough, a girl in practice clothes bounced into the cave, her features fine and delicate, her big eyes watery and full of life, adding to her spirited look, each side of her face adorned with small dimples, winning people’s affection.
However, upon seeing his disciple enter, Lu Changsheng slightly furrowed his brows.
This little ancestor was a bona fide wrecking force.
Three years ago, when Lian’s cultivation was not high, she couldn’t stir up much trouble, but as Lian’s cultivation improved, she was almost tearing down Qingyun Peak.
Once her Martial King Divine Physique was slightly accomplished, it was likely that the whole Mount Shu would be turned upside down in chaos.
“Master, Lian has already Refining the Spiritual Energy from the last technique you taught me, and as instructed by master, I’ve come to receive the Powerinfusing Initiation-”
Lian sat on the cushion, chatting while sizing up what fun Spiritual Artifacts there might be in her master’s cave.
Last time Lian took Lu Changsheng’s Innate Spirit Treasure “Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword” out to play, she couldn’t control the power of the Innate Treasure, and with one strike she chopped off the top of a hillock on Qingyun Peak, scaring all kinds of Spirit Beasts there.
Ever since that incident, Lu Changsheng simply placed the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword into his own Dao Palace to prevent Lian from taking it out again, completely destroying his cultivation retreat.
[Ding, you’ve transferred 500 days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple “Lian”, who has actually received 100 days of Heavenly Cultivation.]
[Ding, you have received a seventyfold return reward from teaching your disciple: 7000 days of Heavenly Cultivation. ]
[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple “Lian” a second-grade Elixir Pill “Detoxification Pill”, and you have received a four hundredfold return: a fifthgrade Elixir Pill “All-Poison Immunity Pill”.]
[Ding, you have granted your disciple “Lian” a high-grade Spiritual Artifact “Purple Brilliance Battle Clothes”, and you have received a three hundredfold return: a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Phoenix Feather Universe Clothes”.]
[Ding, the number of times you can perform Power-infusing Initiation today -1, the number of times you can give rewards today -2.]
Following his usual routine, Lu Changsheng performed Power-infusing Initiation for Lian and also bestowed Elixir Pills and treasures, exploiting the system for his benefit.
The battle clothes given to Lian were a treasure used by female cultivators, and the item returned was also a high-grade treasure of the same type, albeit useless to Lu Changsheng.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng waved his sleeve, and a wooden barrel appeared. Inside was a Body Refinement Elixir concocted from second-grade, third- grade, and even fourth-grade Elixir Pills.
Lian’s Martial King Divine Physique required a great amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to achieve minor accomplishment, and Lu Changsheng did not hesitate to use fourth-grade Elixir Pills to concoct the Body Refinement Elixir. In the future, he might even use fifth-grade, or possibly even sixth-grade Elixir Pills.
The more domineering the physique, the more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures it requires. Ordinary sects truly can’t afford to raise a disciple like Lian.
After Lu Changsheng left, Lian removed her clothes and soaked in the wooden barrel, meditating according to the Ten Thousand Phenomena Body Refining Skills. Her flawlessly white Martial King Divine Physique absorbed the medicinal strength from the barrel, repeatedly reforging her body.
Lu Changsheng went to another part of the cave dwelling and began to practice the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique.
While cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique, Lu Changsheng was also engaging in Body Refinement to strengthen his own physique.
The Nine Dragons Refinement Technique was a Heaven Rank mid-grade Body Refinement Method that, when cultivated to the highest realm, could pack the force of nine flood dragons in a single punch.
Lu Changsheng, having an Innate Taoist Body, focused primarily on cultivation and secondarily on Body Refinement.
There are benefits to Body Refinement; if one’s physical strength could match that of an Innate Spirit Treasure, one wouldn’t be easily injured even if struck by an Innate Spirit Treasure.
Three days passed, and both Lu Changsheng and Lian finished their Body Refinement, having almost completely absorbed the medicinal strength.
“Master, your disciple would like to ask you for a small favor, could I?”
Lian shook Lu Changsheng’s arm and blinked her eyes, evidently coming up with some mischievous idea.
“Speak.”
“Lian wants to go out of the mountain to play… no, to train, just like the senior brothers.”
“Not possible.”
“Then, can Lian go and play on the other peaks of Mount Shu? Lian has grown tired of staying at Qingyun Peak. Please- – Master- -”
“Fine.”
“That’s great! I knew Master would agree! You are so good to Lian–”
“But you must not be reckless, and you are forbidden from going to the back mountain. The back mountain houses the dwellings of the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders. If you stir up trouble, your master won’t be able to protect you.”
“Moreover, do not neglect your cultivation due to playing too much.”
Lu Changsheng appeared troubled on the surface, but his heart was blooming with joy.
This energetic little ancestor causing trouble for the other elders of Mount Shu was better than wreaking havoc on Qingyun Peak, right?
“Heehee, Lian will remember,” Lian made a face and left the cave dwelling in high spirits.
“My fellow senior brothers, fend for yourselves…”
Lu Changsheng murmured to himself, then continued his cultivation of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
