Hearing that the second option was to find an alchemist as a master, Lu Yun immediately shook his head.
Not to mention whether he could find an alchemist, it was still unknown if they would be willing to accept him as a disciple.
Simply speaking, for Lu Yun, becoming a disciple was impossible.
He had the panel, he only needed energy value to upgrade, and there was no need for a master to impart teachings and knowledge.
Moreover, suddenly having a master would be like having an additional variable, and if he wasn’t careful, it could expose his secret.
So, from the beginning, in terms of martial arts or other things, he had never considered becoming a disciple.
Becoming a disciple was not an option, and killing for treasure was unreliable.
In this case, the only way to obtain a pill recipe was through an auction.
With this in mind, Lu Yun asked, “How long is it until the auction?”
“There’s about half a year left.”
Having spoken so much with Lu Yun, Duan Qing’s mood had improved quite a bit, and he half-jokingly said, “If Junior Brother Lu really wants to participate in the auction, prepare well in advance, otherwise you’ll be left empty-handed when you see the object of your desire.”
Of course.”
Before leaving, Lu Yun felt that he should say something more. After thinking for a while, he spoke in a calm tone:
“Only by fully focusing on cultivation can one easily break through bottlenecks. Also, if you ever need help, feel free to come to me.”
Duan Qing was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile, “Alright.”
After leaving Duan Qing, Lu Yun went to the Pill Medicine Building and exchanged three bottles of Profound Origin Pills before returning to his residence.
In the cultivation room.
After refining the three bottles of Profound Origin Pills, the energy value on the panel once again broke through the 1,000 mark.
“1,681 energy value.”
Seeing so many energy values, Lu Yun’s eyes flickered with faint light.
[Discovered that Breaking Wind Saber Technique and Gentle Breeze Waning
Moon Blade can be fused. Fusion consumes 650 energy values.]
Lu Yun’s mind stirred as he saw the message on the Gentle Breeze Waning Moon Blade fusion panel.
His energy value was instantly consumed by 650.
At the same time, the Breaking Wind Saber Technique and Gentle Breeze Waning Moon Blade on the martial arts column of the panel disappeared.
Shortly after.
A vast memory appeared in the depths of his mind. Lu Yun had already experienced this, and he quickly absorbed the memory.
“Flowing Wind Sky Dance!”
Lu Yun murmured softly, unable to hide the astonishment in his eyes.
Flowing Wind Sky Dance was the new martial art formed by the fusion of Breaking Wind Saber Technique and Gentle Breeze Waning Moon Blade.
In his memory, Flowing Wind Sky Dance was directly at the Entry Level.
Furthermore, the original memories of Breaking Wind Saber Technique and Gentle Breeze Waning Moon Blade did not disappear but were simply removed from the panel.
Flowing Wind Sky Dance was both a complete saber technique and a single move saber technique.
Indeed, the fusion of Breaking Wind Saber Technique and Gentle Breeze Waning Moon Blade produced Flowing Wind Sky Dance, a single move Hundred Flowers.
Flowing Wind Sky Dance could also be called Hundred Flowers – Flowing Wind Sky Dance.
[Name]: Lu Yun
[Force]: Flying Spirit Martial Academy
[Martial Arts]: Seven Kill Saber Technique (Reach Profound, cannot be promoted), Black Tiger Saber Technique (Perfection, cannot be promoted), Eastern Wind Break (Entry Level 1%, can be fused)
Flowing Wind Sky Dance (Hundred Flowers, Entry Level 1%, can be fused)
Gale Thunder Flash Step (Great accomplishment 70%)
Pure Yang Martial Arts Canon (True Qi Chapter, Small achievement 1%)
[Innate Talent]: Level 6
[Martial Arts]: True Qi Realm (Three Refinements)
[Energy Value]: 1031 (increases by one every two days)
[Conception]: Slaughter Conception (First Rank 10%)
Opening the fusion panel, Lu Yun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face had an indescribable sense of helplessness.
To fuse Eastern Wind Break with Flowing Wind Sky Dance, the required energy value was a staggering 1,500.
This value had completely exceeded his expectations and his limits, causing him to give up on the idea of further fusion for the time being.
“Considering the current situation, 1 can only upgrade Flowing Wind Sky Dance first.”
After closing the fusion and panel, Lu Yun calmed his mind, focusing on Flowing Wind Sky Dance, and began to upgrade.
[Spending…]
The Entry Level of Flowing Wind Sky Dance cost three energy values per training progress. To upgrade it to Small achievement, 300 energy values were consumed.
Without stopping, Lu Yun continued to upgrade and planned to use up all his energy values.
After an hour, Lu Yun had fully absorbed and digested the memories in his mind,
At the same time, he found that his understanding of saber arts had deepened, as if he had practiced for more than ten years. He felt a surge of pride, and the urge to wield his blade to break mountains and split seas overwhelmed him.
After a long while, he finally suppressed this impulse.
His attention fell on the panel.
[Martial Arts]: Flowing Wind Sky Dance (Hundred Flowers, Perfection 13%, Can Fuse)
Energy Value: 1 (an increase of one every two days)
To enhance from the small achievement level to the great accomplishment level, six hundred energy values are consumed.
From the initial entry into perfection, increasing to 13% perfection, his energy value had finally been completely depleted.
Putting away the panel, Lu Yun temporarily had no intention of continuing to cultivate.
After a round of fusion and enhancement, his spiritual power and physical energy had been significantly consumed.
Moreover, as the time was already late, Lu Yun decided not to cultivate any further.
He left the cultivation room, went to the bath area to wash himself in cold water, and then returned to his bedroom to lie down and rest.
The next day.
He woke up even before the break of dawn.
First, he refined Pure Yang aggressive aura for two hours, and then practiced saber techniques for an hour.
Xiao Chen also arrived as planned, silently entering his courtyard.
“Are you ready? The Black Boat will leave in an hour.”
“I’ve been waiting for you.” Lu Yun put away his Hundred Scales Purple Gold Saber into its sheath.
“All right, let’s go.”
Xiao Chen’s figure moved, flying out of the courtyard.
“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with the door.”
Lu Yun complained, his figure moved, leaving an afterimage in place.
As for the entrance of the small building at No.3358, representing the Star Palace disciples, it had never made a sound of opening or closing throughout.
Flying Spirit Plaza.
Five enormous and magnificent ships were hovering several dozen feet above the ground.
“There are actually five Black Boats?” Lu Yun couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Martial Academy recruits disciples in two ways: small recruitment once a year and grand recruitment once every five years.”
As someone who had accepted the task, Xiao Chen knew the specifics and explained, “This time is the once-every-five-years recruitment assessment, not limited to the ten-plus surrounding counties of Spirit Martial Prefecture, but covering the entire Spirit Martial Prefecture’s territory.”
“So that’s the case, no wonder 1 felt the number of recruited disciples last time was so small.”
“This time we’re given the task of overseeing East Field County’s disciple recruitment assessment. We need to take the No.5 Mysterious Ship. Let’s go first.”
“Okay.”
With a light jump, the two landed on the Black Boat hovering ten feet above the ground.
At this moment, more than ten people were already on the boat.
Lu Yun and Xiao Chen were among the last to arrive.
One of them glanced coldly at Xiao Chen and turned his body to the side.
Seeing this, Lu Yun looked at Xiao Chen: “Do you know him?”
“Not really. I met him when accepting the task. His name is Li something, just a clown.”
“Oh, what’s the story?” Lu Yun immediately became interested.
“The number of people needed for the disciple recruitment assessment task is limited. 1 took my spot from him. However, I don’t know how he got the task later.”
The two chatted, completely unafraid of Li Yilin.
Li Yilin sneered, “Hmph, you just won by luck. Don’t be too proud.”
“If you and I were enemies, one move would have been enough to take your life.” Xiao Chen said coldly, not putting his opponent in his eyes.
You…” Li Yilin was suddenly angry but couldn’t refute.
Meanwhile, their quarrel attracted the attention of others.
One older disciple came over to mediate: “Both of you, the matter has already passed. Since everyone has been given the task, let’s put the past behind us, so as not to harm the relationship between fellow brothers.”
Seeing this person, a flash of wariness appeared in Li Yilin’s eyes, and he said coldly, “So be it, I will give Brother Zhang some face.”
This person was named Zhang Zhihe, accomplished True Qi Nine Refinements, and was just a step away from the Transforming Origin Realm. He was the strongest among them.
Zhang Zhihe walked over to Xiao Chen and smiled, “Junior Brother Xiao, how about you?”
“I don’t mind.”
Xiao Chen was as calm as ever.
“Haha, that’s right. As fellow Martial Academy disciples, we should get along well and support each other after leaving the academy.”
Then Zhang Zhihe’s gaze fell on Lu Yun and smiled, “This junior brother looks unfamiliar. Are you the newly promoted Star Palace disciple, Lu Yun?”
“That’s right, you have good eyes, Senior Brother.”
Lu Yun slightly raised his fist.
“Good, from now on, we brothers will support each other.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Zhihe returned to his original position.
After two more people boarded the ship and about ten minutes had passed, the Black Boat slowly started..
