My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 307
Chapter 307: Great Blitz Treasure Seal
The three elders nodded in agreement. They were looking forward to Lu Zhou’s reply.
Pan Litian chimed in, “Usually, a cultivator would make slower progress when they cultivated more methods. Many cultivators would usually choose to specialize in two or three cultivation methods at most throughout their lifetimes.”
Lu Zhou disagreed. He stroked his beard and said, “Your words are right, but it also depends on the cultivator. Dao Invisibility is a fleeing skill after all. There are hundreds and thousands of cultivation methods under the Daoist Sect. The variations can be confusing. Yet, there isn’t a method that combines the advantages of cultivation methods. Indeed, everybody’s limited to the energy they could spend in their cultivation. Those who manage to cultivate a single cultivation method to perfection are considered grand cultivators… However, it’s only natural that my disciples are different from the others.” He did not have to explain in detail for the three elders to understand his meaning.
If it had been a cultivator from any other sect, they could pick one of the various paths to cultivate. However, this cultivator before them was the Evil Sky Pavilion’s ninth disciple. Perhaps, talent-wise, there was nobody who would be able to surpass her. If she had the time and energy to learn a few more cultivation methods, it was definitely a good thing.
“I’ve been enlightened.” Leng Luo cupped his fists.
Pan Litian said, “Old Leng, you’ve studied Dao Invisibility all your life, and it’s all about escaping. However, you secretly learned killing techniques as well, right? Otherwise, I don’t think you’d be standing here now.”
Leng Luo did not even look at the old beggar. ‘Raining on my parade at this crucial moment. This old beggar is truly vicious!’
Pan Litian cupped his fists at Lu Zhou and said, “I agree the Supreme Purity Jade Slip is one of the most suitable cultivation methods for Little Yuan’er. However, she has only been cultivating for a short time. She’ll have to slowly build her foundation.” Then, he gestured at his wine gourd. It was a reminder to the time when he made her remove the cork from the bottle with her Nirvana Sash. Based on the test, it was obvious she was lacking in basic control. However, that was not something that could be mastered overnight.
“I agree,” Hua Wudao said.
Leng Luo said disapprovingly, “You just said she’s quite new to this. In that case, how can you expect her to have a stable foundation now? You’re expecting a young girl to display control that’s only possible after 100 years of cultivation. I feel ashamed of you.”
Pan Litian was taken aback.
“I agree,” Hua Wudao said again.
Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng, Hua Yuexing, and the other female cultivators were puzzled.
Lu Zhou shook his head helplessly. He had given these old men a hard time. Indeed, it was difficult to expect them to pick bones from eggs. With his hands on his back, he looked at Little Yuan’er and said, “You should take the three elders’ teachings to heart. Also, you’re relying on your items too much. From this day on, you are to keep your Nirvana Sash, Cloud Treading Boots, and Cloud Feather Raiment. You’re not to use them if there’s no need for it.”
“Huh?” Little Yuan’er felt aggrieved.
Lu Zhou added, “We’ll reconsider after you attain the Five-leaf stage.”
The three elders nodded. That was the greatest issue. However, they were not brave enough to point it out directly. Naturally, her treasures were like gilding the lily, but they were holding her back in her fundamental cultivation. If someone had pointed it out, it might seem like they coveted or envied her treasures. It was the most appropriate for her master to point it out.
“Yes, master.” Although Little Yuan’er was unwilling to accept this, she nodded obediently.
“Ding! Instructed Little Yuan’er. Reward: 300 merit points.”
‘That’s fast. I’ve already earned 900 merit points.’
The path of instruction seemed to be a wide and open road.
“Go, then.” Lu Zhou waved his hand.
Duanmu Sheng and Little Yuan’er bowed at the same time before they left.
The three elders were filled with emotions.
Hua Wudao exclaimed, “If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe this is the way you teach your disciples, Pavilion Master… It’s starkly different from what’s said in the outside world.”
Naturally, Lu Zhou knew what those rumors were. He did not wish to entertain them.
Pan Litian stood up slowly. He cupped his fists and said, “I wish to ask something, Pavilion Master.”
“What is it?” Lu Zhou turned around.
“Come to think of it, I’ve been in the Evil Sky Pavilion for some time now. I heard that you’re studying the advantages of other cultivation methods. Is this true?” Pan Litian asked.
This was something that Hua Wudao and Leng Luo were curious about as well. They knew Lu Zhou was skilled in Buddhist Zen, the Buddha Golden Body, the Fiend Zen, Daoist methods, and even the Daoist Nine Cuts Hand Seals. As for sword and saber skills, they could tell how skilled he was based on his disciples.
Lu Zhou said, “The sects under the heavens are all pursuing the same goals.” He raised his right hand slowly. This time, there was no item card in his hand. He tried to picture the item card conjuring the Primal Qi. He had a feeling that the hand seals were becoming simpler. It was as if the item cards were grandmasters who taught Lu Zhou personally every time he used them.
The various sects under the heavens pursued the same goals. In essence, all of them utilized Primal Qi and condensed them into energy. Whether they used it to attack or defend, in a gentle or domineering way, it was all dependent on their ideals.
Primal Qi condensed in Lu Zhou’s palm, spiraling in the anti-clockwise direction.
It was completed!
A hand seal appeared.
The three elders stared at the palm print on Lu Zhou’s palm.
“The Great Blitz Treasure Seal.”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard with his left hand and regarded the seal with satisfaction. Naturally, it could compare to the nine massive seals produced by the item cards. However, this was only a demonstration. He did not have to unleash it with his full strength.
The three Elders clicked their tongues in wonder.
There were miniature scripts swirling around the Great Blitz Treasure Seal. Indeed, it was one of the proper Daoist Nine Cuts Hand Seals!
“My horizons have been widened!”
“How could it be so easily done?”
“Amazing! Incredible!”
‘This is truly the Old Age Kiss-Ass Pavilion.’ Lu Zhou fisted his hand and the Great Blitz Treasure Seal vanished.
Hua Wudao did not seem to have had enough. He cupped his fists again and said, “Pavilion Master… In that case, can you cast the Six Compatible Seal as well?”
“…” Lu Zhou appeared calm. However, he cursed inwardly in his heart. ‘Why must you be this way? I don’t wish to act any more than I need to! When will this end?’
Leng Luo had seen Lu Zhou use the Daoist Nine Cuts Hand Seals. Therefore, he was not surprised to see it again.
The Six Compatible Seal was Hua Wudao’s invention! The skill would reach its full potential if it was unleashed by a cultivator in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm. Moreover, it was a tortoiseshell method he had cultivated for 20 years. Lu Zhou’s cultivation base was only in the Divine Court realm. How was he supposed to pull it off?
Pan Litian said, “You have a point. Please give us a demonstration and broaden our horizons, Pavilion Master.”
“I agree,” Leng Luo said.
The four old men’s conversation drifted into the ears of the young cultivators nearby. All of them moved closer to observe from afar. All of them remained respectfully quiet, afraid of missing out on any detail. It was a rare occurrence for these four old men to have such a discussion after all!
Lu Zhou stroked his beard. ‘Should I use an Impeccable Card? No, no, no. It’s such a waste to use it just to put on a show!’
