Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Disciple is a Jinx
A Heaven Rank top-tier cultivation technique appeared in Lu Changsheng’s Dao Palace Minor Realm.
This was the Sect-Defending Skills of Hidden Dragon Temple, “Magnificent Righteous Qi Art,” priceless and invaluable.
Lu Changsheng cultivated Mount Shu’s Sect-Defending Skills, the “Supreme Purity Limitless Technique,” and this technique could eventually be bestowed upon Mo Huazhi, who possessed the Body of the Literary Sage.
Three disciples each trod a different great path, and Lu Changsheng had spared no effort in finding suitable cultivation techniques for them.
“Although your teacher does not practice the ‘Talent Cultivation Skills,’ my realm is still capable of leading you into its basics.”
Lu Changsheng skimmed through the “Talent Cultivation Skills,” and to him, the Profound Rank technique seemed as easy as a college student looking at elementary school problems—Lu Changsheng was fully qualified to offer guidance on the mysteries.
“This disciple will certainly practice diligently and not disappoint Master’s expectations.”
Mo Huazhi said, her face full of seriousness.
“The ‘Talent Cultivation Skills’ are different from ordinary techniques; besides practicing, you must also read extensively to broaden your knowledge in order to cultivate Magnificent Righteous Qi. And cultivating Magnificent Righteous Qi is just the first step towards becoming a Literary Sage.”
“Reading?”
Mo Huazhi’s eyes lit up.
This was her favorite thing to do in life.
This technique fit her perfectly.
Lu Changsheng explained the key points and difficulties of the “Talent Cultivation Skills” in detail, which Mo Huazhi quickly memorized.
Lu Changsheng was inwardly amazed.
Mo Huazhi had one exceptional ability—her photographic memory.
“This ‘Elementary Talisman Crafting Skills’ can be attempted in addition to your cultivation, to refine talismans and become a Divine Talismancer,” said Lu Changsheng as he took out another cultivation technique.
“A Divine Talismancer…”
In Yue Country, where Mo Huazhi hailed from, the Dean of Hanlin Academy was a Divine Talismancer who could craft talismans up to Rank 6, and was courted by both the Emperor and numerous Loose Cultivators—a status akin to a saint, even surpassing that of many princes.
Her master actually intended to cultivate her into a highly esteemed Divine Talismancer?
[Ding, you have bestowed the Yellow Rank top-tier cultivation technique “Elementary Talisman Crafting Skills” upon your disciple “Mo Huazhi,” receiving a hundredfold return reward as a mentor: Profound Rank top-tier cultivation technique “Intermediate Talisman Skills.”]
[Ding, today’s available bestowal count has decreased by 1, with 1 remaining bestowal count left.]
[Ding, you have bestowed the top-tier Spiritual Artifact “White Fox Spirit Brush” upon your disciple “Mo Huazhi,” receiving a hundredfold return reward as a mentor: a middle-grade acquired treasure “Heavenly Fox Divine Brush.” ] [Ding, today’s available bestowal count has decreased by 1, with 0 remaining bestowal count left.]
Lu Changsheng bestowed cultivation techniques and treasures one after another, in one go obtaining the rewards of “Intermediate Talisman Skills” and the Heavenly Fox Divine Brush.
Now, even when Mo Huazhi reached the Golden Core Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, Lu Changsheng still had items to bestow upon her.
Lu Changsheng briefly explained how to handle the treasures, but as for the talisman skills, it would depend on Mo Huazhi’s own talents.
It wasn’t possible for Lu Changsheng to be skilled in everything.
Without any special physique, it was unlikely to achieve in talisman crafting a success comparable to the Body of the Literary Sage.
“I will allocate 10,000 Sect Contribution Points foryour use first, and you may proceed to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow various books by yourself. As my formally accepted disciple, your status is that of an Inner Sect Disciple of Mount Shu, permitting your access up to the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.”
The Sect Contribution Points of Mount Shu cannot be traded among disciples, but as an Elder of Mount Shu, one can allocate one’s Sect Contribution Points to their disciple.
Since Mo Huazhi’s cultivation technique required the extensive reading of books, Lu Changsheng generously bestowed 10,000 Contribution Points to her, enabling her to make full use of the treasure trove that was the Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion.
“Zhi’er thanks Master greatly, grateful beyond words…”
Mo Huazhi thanked him repeatedly, returning to her dwelling on the mountainside with her Master’s bestowed precious cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts to practice intensely.
“System, simulate the life of this little disciple of mine.”
As the newly accepted disciple was a Calamity Body, Lu Changsheng was not at ease.
[Ding, you have started the life simulation of your disciple “Mo Huazhi.” ]
[Ding, remaining simulation attempts for today: -1.]
[Simulation starts:]
[At 17, Mo Huazhi became your disciple, and under your earnest guidance, she broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm, practiced the Talent Cultivation Skills, and produced her first strand of Magnificent Righteous Qi.]
[At 18, Mo Huazhi broke through to the Golden Core Realm and became an Elementary Talismancer.]
[At 25, Mo Huazhi had read extensively, her cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm. You taught her the Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, the Magnificent Righteous Qi Art, and Mo Huazhi began her first disciple experience.]
[During her experience in Yue Country, Mo Huazhi encountered her sworn enemies and was ambushed.]
[Mo Huazhi, perished.]
[Simulation ends.]
“???”
Lu Changsheng knew that this disciple was also Plagued by Misfortune. He had not expected her to encounter her enemies on her first venture from the mountain and meet a tragic end.
It seemed he had no choice but to defy the heavens to change her fate himself.
“System, simulate again.”
[Ding, you have changed the parameters, the system is re-simulating the life of your disciple “Mo Huazhi.”]
[Ding, remaining simulation attempts for today: -1.]
[Simulation starts:]
[At 17, Mo Huazhi broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm and produced her first strand of Magnificent Righteous Qi.]
[At 18, Mo Huazhi broke through to the Golden Core Realm and became an Elementary Talismancer.]
[At 25, Mo Huazhi broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. During her experience, she encountered the enemy responsible for the destruction of her home. In the moment of crisis, you helped her, assisting Mo Huazhi in avenging the annihilation of her home. ]
[At 26, Mo Huazhi planned to stay at the Hanlin Academy in Yue Country to cultivate for three years, attempting to establish her own school of thought.]
[At 27, Mo Huazhi met a stranger who helped her on multiple occasions.]
[At 29, the stranger revealed his identity—he was the son of the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect, coveting Mo Huazhi’s Body of the Literary Sage. Mo Huazhi fell into despair upon realizing she could not defeat him and chose to take her own life.]
[Mo Huazhi, perished.]
[Simulation ends.]
The fate of this little disciple as “Plagued by Misfortune” was truly not unwarranted—she died again.
Her family destroyed at five, encountered her sworn enemies at twenty-five, faced a calamitous romance at twenty-seven.
If it weren’t for Lu Changsheng’s ability to simulate her life and find ways to defy destiny, Mo Huazhi, the Literary Sage, wouldn’t have survived until thirty. Indeed, “To the man who has his great destiny foreordained, I shall temper his spirit and toughen his sinews and bones. I shall starve his body and skin.”
“The whelp of the Joyous Union Sect dares to deceive my disciple. I must intervene before she falls into this calamitous romance and directly slay the son of the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect.”
Lu Changsheng harbored a murderous intent.
The son of the Joyous Union Sect Master obviously saw that Mo Huazhi was naive and inexperienced, approaching her under false pretenses, wishing to claim her for himself and use the Body of the Literary Sage as a crucible to achieve the supreme path for the Joyous Union Sect.
Even if it meant offending the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect, Lu Changsheng was determined to protect this disciple.
“There’s one last simulation opportunity today. What if I were to reveal his identity and slay him with a single strike the moment Mo Huazhi encountered the son of the Joyous Union Sect Master? What would happen then?”
Lu Changsheng conducted the last simulation, the previous simulation results remained unchanged.
[At 27, Mo Huazhi met a man, you suddenly appeared, exposing that the man was the son of the Joyous Union Sect Master. You acted and killed the man.]
[At 29, Mo Huazhi successfully established her own school of thought in Yue Country, broke through to the Dao Palace Realm, and returned to Mount Shu.] [At 30, Mo Huazhi joined you in battling the four Great Demon Sects and the Demon Race.]
[At 32, Mo Huazhi fell in a battle, overwhelmed by the retaliation from the Joyous Union Sect.]
[Mo Huazhi, perished.]
