I Have A Disciple Simulator - Chapter 172
Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Immortal-level Swordsmanship (Third Update)
“Disciple, your cultivation has now reached a sufficient level, so today I will impart to you a set of Heaven Rank superior swordsmanship,”
After Lin Qingzhi’s arrival, Lu Changsheng ceased practicing the Tiangang Sword Formation and took Lin Qingzhi away from the cave abode to a bamboo forest on Qingyun Peak, where he took out the True Martial Sword.
“I will definitely memorize it carefully.”
Lin Qingzhi was fully focused.
This was a set of Heaven Rank superior swordsmanship.
Ordinary Dao Palace Elders of Mount Shu may not even be able to learn Earth Rank inferior swordsmanship, let alone Heaven Rank superior swordsmanship.
Lu Changsheng demonstrated the True Martial Nine Forms with the True Martial Sword.
To avoid destroying Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng did not infuse True Qi, but simply demonstrated the moves and imparted the mnemonic verse.
Lin Qingzhi, with the Profound Rank Soaring Cloud Sword Technique and Earth Rank Myriad Swords Return to Origin already at Great Perfection, found it not difficult to begin learning the True Martial Nine Forms.
Holding the Qingxiao Sword, Lin Qingzhi replicated the first form of the True Martial Nine Forms, formally beginning his practice.
[Ding, you have imparted the Heaven Rank superior Cultivation Technique ‘True Martial Nine Forms’ to your disciple Lin Qingzhi and received a hundredfold return reward: a lower Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’.]
An Immortal Rank sword technique?
Lu Changsheng’s ‘True Martial Nine Forms’ had already reached Great Perfection, and he could directly practice the ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’.
While guiding Lin Qingzhi in sword practice, Lu Changsheng visualized the ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’.
The ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’ was divided into ten layers, each layer comprehended would increase its power by one level.
The further Lu Changsheng read, the more awe-struck he became.
It was as if a Sword Immortal stood before Lu Changsheng, each strike was natural and shook the heavens.
“This sword intent is so strong that even I cannot bear it.”
Lu Changsheng turned to the fifth chapter, and his Primordial Spirit could not withstand the sword intent contained in the ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’.
“It seems that with my current cultivation, I can only practice up to the first four layers of the ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’, but that is already sufficient.”
Lu Changsheng was well aware that Immortal Rank cultivation techniques were not commonly seen even among the Void Refinement Realm powerhouses.
With an Innate Taoist Body, Lu Changsheng could practice the Immortal Rank sword technique in advance.
When Lu Changsheng used the first layer’s sword intent, even though he didn’t use True Qi, a swing of the True Martial Sword still stirred Sword Qi, leaving a neat and orderly slice through the bamboo forest that extended hundreds of steps.
“Master’s sword intent is too powerful.”
Lin Qingzhi was secretly shocked after Lu Changsheng entered the realm of the ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’.
Without using True Qi, Lu Changsheng could still form Sword Qi.
Even if Lu Changsheng was holding a tree branch, he probably could still elicit Sword Qi.
The master had already reached the profound realm of “no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart.”
Lin Qingzhi’s admiration deepened.
After inadvertently destroying a row of bamboo, Lu Changsheng put away his True Martial Sword and picked up a bamboo sword, focusing on practicing the Immortal Rank sword technique ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’.
“One with essence, spirit and vitality, two with strength soft and hard, three with far and near equivalent, four with yin and yang complementing, five with sword meeting double-edged and double-pointed all point to its agility and spiritual root…”
Lu Changsheng silently recited the mnemonic verse, lost in the realm of the ‘Primordial Sword Scripture’, practicing and forgetting the passage of time.
Seeing his master practicing profound swordsmanship, Lin Qingzhi did not dare to disturb him and began to practice the ‘True Martial Nine Forms’ on his own.
The swordsmanship the master was practicing was too profound, even if he taught it to me, I wouldn’t be able to learn it.
Lin Qingzhi knew it wasn’t that his master didn’t want to teach him more profound swordsmanship, but that he simply could not learn it.
The Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique required at least the cultivation of the Void Refinement Realm to even begin.
“Sigh.”
Unknowingly, Lu Changsheng had been practicing swordsmanship in the bamboo forest for seven days.
When Lu Changsheng came back to his senses, he had cultivated the “Primordial Sword Scripture” to the second layer.
It must be said, the Innate Taoist Body truly deserves its reputation as a body conducive to Path Comprehension, allowing him to practice celestial-rank swordsmanship with twice the result for half the effort.
“Disciple has already comprehended the first three forms of the True Martial Nine Forms.”
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng finish his swordsmanship practice, Lin Qingzhi also stopped.
“Cultivating techniques truly is time-consuming.”
Lu Changsheng had not taken on any disciples for these seven days. Now that he had comprehended the second layer of the “Primordial Sword Scripture,” he took out five elixir pills and bestowed them upon Lin Qingzhi, “Your master gives you these elixir pills for protection.”
When uncertain about what treasures to bestow, Lu Changsheng would choose to reward with elixir pills.
High-quality elixir pills could be used for cultivation, for preserving one’s life, and for body refinement; the more, the better.
[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a third-rank elixir pill “Scarlet Blood Pill,” and received a one hundredfold return reward from teaching: a fifth-rank elixir pill “Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pill.”]
[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a third-rank elixir pill “Scarlet Blood Pill,” and received a tenfold return reward from teaching: a fourth-rank elixir pill “Great Scarlet Blood Pill.”]
[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a fifth-rank elixir pill “Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pill,” and received a five hundredfold return reward from teaching: a seventh-rank elixir pill “Phoenix Blood Revival Pill.”]
[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a fifth-rank elixir pill “Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pill,” and received a thirtyfold return reward from teaching: a sixth-rank elixir pill “Great Rejuvenating Yang Pill.”]
[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lin Qingzhi with a fifth-rank elixir pill “Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pill,” and received a five thousandfold return reward from teaching: an eighth-rank elixir pill “Dragon Essence Resurrection Pill.”]
“Today’s luck is good, one eighth-rank elixir pill, one seventh-rank elixir pill.”
Lu Changsheng was quite pleased to have obtained two supreme quality elixir pills.
Rewarding a fifth-rank elixir pill and receiving an eighth-rank elixir pill in return was not a high probability event.
“You may go back and practice the Taiqing Wuji Technique and the True Martial Nine Forms, next month your master will bestow upon you a Flying Sword. Once your cultivation has made significant progress, your master will then impart to you the Sword Array.”
“Yes.”
Lin Qingzhi sheathed his sword and left.
Lu Changsheng continued to study the “Primordial Sword Scripture.”
“The wall of myriad swords at Ten Thousand Swords Peak can enhance one’s comprehension of the Sword Dao; it might be well worth it to go there for cultivation.”
In name, Lu Changsheng was still a disciple of Grandmaster Taiyuan, so he could go at any time to Grandmaster Taiyuan’s Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
Ten Thousand Swords Peak was the cave dwelling where many past Sect Leaders of Mount Shu had cultivated, featuring a wall of myriad swords.
Prior to undertaking their Tribulation, all former Sect Leaders of Mount Shu, regardless of their success or failure, would leave behind their sword intent on the wall of myriad swords for future generations to study.
The value of the wall of myriad swords was not inferior to that of an Immortal Artifact, even surpassing most Immortal Artifacts because it even contained the sword intent from Mount Shu’s Ancestral Master Daoist Taiqing.
Having existed for tens of thousands of years, the sword intents within the wall had not dispersed.
Lu Changsheng used Sword Flight to travel to Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
Apart from an old caretaker sweeping the floor, there was no one else around.
Grandmaster Taiyuan was investigating the whereabouts of the Demon Lord and had not yet returned.
Lu Changsheng paid no attention to this caretaker, who didn’t possess a trace of cultivation and was just a mortal cleaning up fallen leaves.
“This is the sword intent of Mount Shu’s Ancestral Master; it is most profound and unfathomable. With my current realm, it’s easy to become deeply mired in it without comprehending anything. I truly wonder to what astonishing level Mount Shu’s Ancestral Master’s cultivation would have reached if he were still alive.”
“This is the sword intent of Mount Shu’s seventh-generation Sect Leader, Grandmaster Tailin. It is clearly weaker than the Ancestral Master’s sword intent, but still remarkable.”
“This is the sword intent of the ninth Sect Leader, Immortal Green Lotus. The sword intent carries the burning essence of Fire Lotus True Qi; observing too long feels as if being engulfed by Fire Lotus True Qi, and those without a Fire Spirit Root cannot penetrate even the slightest bit.”
“This is the sword intent of the twenty-first Sect Leader, Grandmaster Taixu…”
