Flying sword techniques?
Yu Siyu and Xia Mengran were both stunned.
“You want to become a sword cultivator?” Yu Siyu asked.
“That’s right.” Lin Shen nodded calmly.
Yu Siyu paused, deep in thought.
She was good at flying swords, and her only two disciples were also sword cultivators with extraordinary strength. Therefore, she wasn’t surprised by Lin Shen’s intention to become a sword cultivator.
However, it wasn’t easy to be a sword cultivator. He would have to have both the flying sword technique and the sword pill. The key was to have the talent to cultivate the flying sword technique!
Still…
Yu Siyu glanced at Lin Shen and thought to herself that with her disciple’s outstanding talent, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to cultivate the flying sword technique.
“Among the eight divine powers, there is the Dark North Sword Scripture. It’s powerful enough to rank in the top three of the eight. However, the Dark North Sword Scripture has extremely harsh requirements for talent. Among the current cultivator masters in the sect, there are less than five people who have cultivated this technique!”
When Lin Shen heard this, he said without thinking, “Master, please bestow me with that cultivation technique!”
It was extremely difficult for others to reach Beginner, but it wouldn’t be a problem for Lin Shen at all.
Putting everything else aside, any of the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt, Genius, Sword G.o.d Anatta, and Innate Spirit Body clones would be considered extremely talented among ordinary cultivator masters.
He could let the four clones cultivate at the same time to speed up the process. There was no way that he couldn’t cultivate the Dark North Sword Scripture.
If that didn’t work, he could let Genius and Sword Spirit Self clones join in.
With his cultivation speed tripled, it was only a matter of time before he mastered the Dark North Sword Scripture.
Seeing that Lin Shen was very confident, Yu Siyu didn’t say anything else. With a wave of her fair hand, a jade slip shot toward Lin Shen like a stream of light, and the latter caught it.
“Although you’re my direct disciple, according to the sect rules, 1 can only bestow one of the eight divine powers at most. If you want to obtain other cultivation techniques and divine powers, you have to make meritorious contributions and be rewarded by the sect,” Yu Siyu said slowly.
Lin Shen put away the jade slip and wasn’t surprised when he heard this. He nodded calmly.
Over the past few days, he had gained a certain understanding of the Nine Suns Sect’s customs.
The reason why the Nine Suns Sect encouraged disciples to compete wasn’t only because of the limited resources, but also to prevent disciples from becoming Confucian-type cultivators who spent all their energy in cultivation.
The restrictions on cultivation techniques and divine powers were also for a similar purpose.
On one hand, it was to prevent the disciples from biting off more than they could chew. On the other hand, it was to nurture the disciples’ temperament.
If the path of cultivation was too smooth, it wouldn’t be a good thing for cultivators.
“As for the sword pill…”
Yu Siyu pondered for a moment and suddenly pointed with her finger. A white light appeared and circled around her palm.
“Although this platinum sword pill is only a superior-grade profound armament, it’s enough for a beginner. If there are other opportunities in the future, I’ll find a more suitable sword pill for you.”
As soon as she said this, Xia Mengran couldn’t help but look at Yu Siyu strangely and thought,
“Master says 1 care too much about my Junior Brother. Isn’t she the same?”
When Xia Mengran first started cultivating the flying sword technique, she had only obtained a middle-grade profound armament sword pill.
After that, when the sword pill couldn’t keep up with her strength, her master would tell her to go out to train and collect the materials to refine the new sword pill. But now, she was going to look for a new sword pill for Lin Shen.
However, Xia Mengran didn’t forget the serious matter and immediately said,
“Master, there’s a way for Junior Brother Lin to obtain better quality sword pills now.”
As soon as she said that, not only Yu Siyu, but even Lin Shen looked at Xia Mengran in surprise.
Why didn’t he know that he had such a method?
“Really?” Yu Siyu raised her eyebrows, interested. “Tell me about it.”
Hence, Xia Mengran told him about how Lin Shen had defeated Shan Wenqi in the gambling compet.i.tion and obtained Gale Island.
Yu Siyu had a respected status. No one would bother her with a small matter like a bet between two juniors at the Spirit Nurturing Stage. Because of this, this was the first time she had heard of this incident. She couldn’t help but glance at Lin Shen in surprise.
She had heard of the name Shan Wenqi. He was one of the few elites among the younger generation of the Shan family, and his strength was extraordinary.
Lin Shen was a cultivator master who had just advanced not long ago. It was really surprising that he could defeat Shan Wenqi in a head-on confrontation.
However, when she thought about how Lin Shen had already cultivated the Nether Yin Heavy Water and the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome, Yu Siyu felt relieved.
Lin Shen had a first-grade spirit meridian, and his combat strength far exceeded that of cultivator masters of the same level. Coupled with the Nether Yin Heavy Water and the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome, he could even fight a late-phase Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator, let alone a mere fourth-stage Spirit Nurturing Stage one.
After hearing about the gambling compet.i.tion, Yu Siyu immediately understood what Xia Mengran meant. She looked at Lin Shen and smiled.
“You’re lucky. Three months ago, the head of the Shan family personally went to Star Sect and paid a small fortune to obtain a Star Sword Pill.”
Star Sect?
Lin Shen soon recalled the name.
Back on Xuandu Mountain, Miao You had mentioned to him about the strongest sword cultivation sect in the Eastern Divine Continent.
It was said that their disciples were all sword cultivators without exception. Their combat strength was outstanding, and not many sects in the entire Eastern Divine Continent dared to provoke them!
Judging from its name, this Star Sword Pill was a sword pill unique to that sect.
As if sensing Lin Shen’s confusion, Xia Mengran explained,
“The Star Sword Pill is a sword pill refined by the Star Sect with a unique mystic technique. It’s one of a kind in the entire East Divine Continent. Everyone in the entire Star Sect, from the Sect Master and Elders to the ordinary disciples, uses the Star Sword Pill.”
Lin Shen was at a loss..
