Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Return to Mount Shu
Translator: 549690339
“Are you performing a power-infusing initiation?
Xia Ningxue entered and saw Lu Changsheng cease his practice and stabilize his breath, while Mo Huazhi’s Heavenly Spirit emitted white vapor, apparently undergoing a power-infusing initiation.
Typically, only Elders whose life spans were nearing their end would weaken their own cultivation to initiate their disciples with their power.
Yet, someone like Lu Changsheng, who had boundless prospects in cultivation, was willing to part with his own power for a disciple?
“Fairy Xia, you’ve come to visit, what brings you here?
“That, you gifted me elixir pills, and since you will be returning to Mount Shu, I naturally should bid farewell.”
“Master, should I leave now?”
“Go find your senior sister, she will teach you the method of breathing and
cultivation.”
“Yes.”
Mo Huazhi read the room and tactfully excused herself.
“My master said, during your return to Mount Shu, there might be dangers.
This Earth Escape Talisman can help you travel underground, escaping thirty 11
in one breath. Consider it a return gift.”
Xia Ningxue’s wrist flicked, and a yellow talisman appeared in her palm. Talismans, consumable magical items crafted by Divine Talismancers in this world, vary in value depending on their power.
This Earth Escape Talisman could instantly travel thirty li underground, a topquality talisman for escaping danger.
Because Xia Ningxue carried the life-saving talisman on her person, the talisman also had Xia Ningxue’s scent on it.
“Since it is a kind gesture from Fairy Xia, I would be remiss to refuse.” Lu Changsheng knew the other party was not one to owe favors lightly; the sixth-grade elixir pills he had given were also highly valuable, thus it was a fair exchange.
Lu Changsheng was in fact in need of similar magical items.
The talisman gifted by Xia Ningxue inspired Lu Changsheng.
Going forward, he could definitely give talismans to his disciple, using the system to obtain higher-level divine talismans.
The value of divine talismans was no less than that of top-quality elixir pills. Lu Changsheng chatted with Xia Ningxue for a while longer before she took her leave.
The young disciple Mo Huazhi, following the second disciple Lian, had learned the most basic cultivation and breathing technique and was able to cultivate on her own.
Mo Huazhi, with the Body of the Literary Sage, had immense natural talent in the path of cultivation; she had just never been exposed to it before, which was why her cultivation level was so low, making her an undiscovered gem in the vast ocean.
Once she began, even without Lu Changsheng’s power-infusing initiation, Mo Huazhi’s cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds.
But with Lu Changsheng’s power-infusing initiation, her cultivation speed became incredibly rapid.
After spending several days at Misty Peak, the group from Mount Shu then returned to the mountain.
Mo Huazhi blinked; she had only heard of Mount Shu, but with the walking speed of a mortal, it would take three to five years to travel from Misty Peak to Mount Shu.
Lian could already perform Sword Flight, but Mo Huazhi had just reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so Lu Changsheng used his own Spiritual Energy to assist her in Sword Flight.
Mo Huazhi stepped onto the Flying Sword with trepidation, her body wobbling unsteadily.
When it came to courage, the second disciple Lian had more guts, treating the Flying Sword like a toy and hardly needing Lu Changsheng’s guidance on the technique of Sword Flight.
After all, Mo Huazhi came from a scholarly family, gentle and refined, and her talent for using magical items could not compare to that of Lian with the Martial King Divine Physique.
“Maintain your center of gravity, control the sword with your energy.
“Mm.”
Mo Huazhi could not stand steadily, but wrapped in Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Energy, she wouldn’t fall. She quickly adapted.
“Let’s set off.”
The group from Mount Shu turned into dozens of streaks of light and disappeared.
Xia Ningxue stood atop a peak of Misty Peak, watching Lu Changsheng and his group leave, her garment billowing, “I will practice diligently, and next time, I will not lose to you.”
After the group from Mount Shu had left, tens of thousands of miles away, within a Senluo Grand Hall, dozens of dark shadows appeared out of nowhere, each with a profound aura.
“The Sect Leader of Mount Shu has already led the team away from Misty Peak; this is an excellent opportunity. I will hold off Taiyuan. Destruction Sword, Jue Sword, Sha Sword, Evil Sword, the four of you are responsible for seizing the girl from the Huang Tribe, and by the way, kill a Mount Shu Elder named Lu Changsheng to prevent future trouble. I do not wish for another Li Changye to emerge from Mount Shu.”
“Yes!”
The dozens of dark shadows disappeared, leaving only the shadow on the main seat.
“Taiyuan, let me see how far your cultivation has progressed over the years.” The last shadow in the Senluo Grand Hall disappeared, leaving only dead silence behind.
The people from Mount Shu hurried along for a day and chose to rest in an old Daoist Temple after nightfall.
With the cultivation level of Lu Changsheng and the others, they could have continued on their journey, but when traveling, even Mount Shu Elders needed to maintain abundant spiritual energy in case of battles en route.
“Master, your disciple has already found the feeling of Sword Flight!” Mo Huazhi was somewhat excited; she had used Lu Changsheng’s spiritual energy to practice Sword Flight for a day and had basically figured out the method.
Once she reached the Qi Transformation Realm, she would be able to use her own spiritual energy for Sword Flight.
“When we return to Mount Shu, I will pick out a suitable cultivation technique for you.”
Lu Changsheng knew that different special physiques required different cultivation techniques.
During this Six Paths Conference, Lu Changsheng brought glory to the Sect, and the senior brother Li Changye allocated 100,000 Sect Contribution Points as a reward. Lu Changsheng could use these 100,000 Sect Contribution Points to exchange for various magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixir pills at Mount Shu.
For Lu Changsheng, Sect Contribution Points were quite important because the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator could not return specific magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixir pills according to Lu Changsheng’s wishes. However, in Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion and Elixir Pavilion, one could choose the appropriate cultivation techniques and elixir pills and then bestow them upon disciples to obtain more advanced cultivation techniques and elixir pills from the system.
100,000 Sect Contribution Points should be enough to select a suitable set of cultivation techniques and magical treasures for Mo Huazhi.
“Master, why are you so good to your disciple?
Mo Huazhi couldn’t help feeling moved; she, who had lost her family at a young age, was experiencing warmth for the first time.
“lam the same to every disciple, not just you.”
“Right, Master is the best person in the world! Lian can swear to it! Lian’s bright eyes were filled with admiration for Lu Changsheng. When she was naive, she used to think that all masters would initiate their disciples with power-infusing and generously bestow various magical treasures, elixir pills, and cultivation techniques. But as Lian grew up, she learned from other Mount Shu disciples that not all masters were so generous. Her own master was simply an exceptionally good person, even using various precious elixir pills to concoct medicinal baths for her Body Refinement. There surely was no better master in the world.
“It must have been my late father’s spirit manifesting, leading me to good fortune and encountering such an exceptionally good person as master. Zhi’er will definitely cherish this.”
Mo Huazhi also gradually began to admire Lu Changsheng. “Junior Brother, you take good care of your two disciples later. Li Changye suddenly communicated telepathically with Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng looked sharply to the south, only to see waves of Demonic Qi rapidly approaching the dilapidated Daoist Temple.
“Senior Brother, that’s the real purpose of you and Master’s journey, isn’t it? Lu Changsheng knew that his senior brother had likely brought Lian on this journey for a sting operation.
Li Changye laughed, “Exactly so.”
“You two, hide behind me.”
Lu Changsheng stood up, shielding Lian and Mo Huazhi, his two young disciples.
Other Mount Shu Elders resting in the Daoist Temple also sensed the approaching Demonic Qi, stood up, and their faces became serious, “Reincarnation Hall, and the presence of the Demon Race!”
