I Have A Disciple Simulator

Chapter 54: Cultivating the Literary Sage

“Elder Lu, you have come to the Scripture Pavilion again? May I ask if you are selecting cultivation techniques for yourself, or for your disciple this time?” “Could he be the Elder Lu of Qingyun Peak from Mount Shu who stirred the entire assembly at the Six Paths Conference?!”

“Indeed, it is him!”

“Elder Lu is an Elder of the Dao Palace realm, and at the Six Paths Conference, he even demonstrated the cultivation of the fifth layer of Dao Palace realm!” “Good heavens, Elder Lu is the last direct disciple recruited by the Sect Leader, right? It’s unexpected that his cultivation has already reached the fifth layer of the Dao Palace realm!”

“That’s something I could never achieve in my lifetime.”

“Oh, come on, for us ordinary inner sect disciples, becoming an Elder of the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime would already be a great blessing, let alone becoming an Elder of the Dao Palace realm.”

As Lu Changsheng appeared in the Scripture Pavilion of Mount Shu, the surrounding disciples from Mount Shu could not help but cast admiring glances his way.

The story of Lu Changsheng defeating the Holy Maiden of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion at the Six Paths Conference had already spread throughout Mount Shu. Lu Changsheng knew without thinking that it must have been Zhao Wuyan, the gossip-loving senior brother, who spread the news.

“I’m heading to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.” “So Elder Lu really has come to select cultivation techniques for his disciple. Please feel free to browse, Elder Lu.”

With Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, he could freely access the first four floors of Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion.

Lu Changsheng now had 100,000 Sect Contribution Points, which was more than enough to exchange for even Earth Rank cultivation techniques.

However, both Earth Rank and Heaven Rank cultivation techniques are not suitable for beginners. At least a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation is required, otherwise, they are like reading an arcane text.

On the second-floor shelves, there were authentic Cultivation Techniques and Body Refinement Methods such as “Ten Thousand Phenomena Body Refining Skills”, “Sit and Forget Technique”, “Taxuan Skills”, as well as various odd and curious books like “Records of Special Physiques Through the Ages”, “Mad Immortal Diary”, “Cultivation from Beginner to Expert”, “Encounters with Fairy Qingxia”.

“There are not many Confucian Dao cultivation techniques suitable for someone with the Body of the Literary Sage to cultivate…”

Lu Changsheng spent quite some time on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion but could not find a cultivation technique suitable for his young disciple, Mo Huazhi.

Mount Shu primarily focused on Dao cultivation and had never birthed a Literary Sage, so related cultivation techniques were extremely rare.

Throughout history, those with the Body of the Literary Sage had appeared in Hidden Dragon Temple, which possessed a vast collection of cultivation techniques for the Literary Sage’s physique.

“Found it.”

Finally, Lu Changsheng found a suitable cultivation technique.

“Talent Cultivation Skills”, an upper-grade Profound Rank technique, belonged to the Confucian Dao. If scholars could cultivate it, they could stimulate their own talents by continually growing their knowledge and scholarship, eventually cultivating a unique True Qi—Magnificent Righteous Qi.

Although it was only a Profound Rank technique, it was the entry-level cultivation technique for the three generations of Literary Sages from Hidden Dragon Temple.

Lu Changsheng flipped to the first page of “Talent Cultivation Skills”, which contained the preface written in graceful handwriting with a divine touch to the brush.

“Gifted to Mount Shu’s Scripture Pavilion by Shangguan Zhao’er of Hidden

Dragon Temple…”

“So it’s a technique from Hidden Dragon Temple.”

Lu Changsheng, browsing through Mount Shu’s classics, learned of many past events related to the six major Orthodox Sects.

Shangguan Zhao’er was a legendary Literary Sage of Hidden Dragon Temple. Rumor has it that with talent embodied, her poetry could slay enemies, her words could defeat armies, and her prose could pacify the world. Furthermore, there were rumors that Shangguan Zhao’er could divine the affairs of fifty thousand years, with ingenious planning capable of reversing the natural order. The reason the six major Orthodox Sects have stood until today is because, in their ancestry, there were peerless geniuses who emerged to dominate an era. The Ancestral Master of Mount Shu, Shangguan Zhao’er, and the first Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were such legendary figures who ascended to the Immortal Realm.

As Lu Changsheng gazed at the handwriting of “Talent Cultivation Skills”, he could faintly see an unsurpassable talented woman, her brush dancing as if borne by the clouds, with a paper of prose that could command the imperial pen.

Confucian Dao, like Martial Dao, is also one of the Great Ways.

Lu Changsheng was filled with reverence.

If this former Temple Master of Hidden Dragon Temple truly became immortal, who knew if there might be a chance to meet her someday?

Because of the special nature of this technique, it required 5,000 contribution points.

However, compared to Lu Changsheng earning 100,000 contribution points at the Six Paths Conference, a mere 5,000 contribution points to exchange for the introductory Cultivation Technique of the Literary Sage from Hidden Dragon Temple was an incredible bargain.

Lu Changsheng continued to select other Cultivation Techniques for his junior disciple.

“Elementary Talisman Crafting Skills, a Yellow Rank superior Cultivation Technique, only requires 500 contribution points.”

Lu Changsheng picked out a special Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique didn’t conflict with the Talent Cultivation Skills and its use was in the crafting of Talismans.

Talismans, like Elixir Pills, are classified into nine grades.

The Earth Escape Divine Talisman given to Lu Changsheng by Xia Ningxue was a sixth-grade Divine Talisman.

Elementary Talisman Crafting Skills was an entry-level Cultivation Technique, which upon mastering, one could craft first-grade and second-grade Talismans.

The Body of the Literary Sage was extremely suitable for becoming a Divine Talismancer.

If Mo Huazhi learned Elementary Talisman Crafting Skills and crafted first- grade and second-grade Talismans to contribute to Lu Changsheng, who could then reward other disciples, it would then be possible to receive high-grade Divine Talismans in return through the Disciple Apprenticeship System, effectively exploiting the system.

“These two Cultivation Techniques are enough for Mo Huazhi to cultivate for some time.”

“When the disciple reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, they can be rewarded with more advanced Cultivation Techniques, Elixir Pills, divine relics, and Talismans.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but look forward to the scene of his three disciples breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lu Changsheng spent 5,500 contribution points to exchange for two Cultivation Techniques.

Lu Changsheng then spent another 2,000 contribution points at Mount Shu’s Spirit Weapon Pavilion to exchange for a superior-grade Spiritual Artifact, the “White Fox Spirit Brush”.

In total, he spent 7,500 contribution points.

Lu Changsheng still had 92,500 Sect Contribution Points.

Lu Changsheng returned to Qingyun Peak and summoned the newly apprenticed Mo Huazhi.

He was about to start nurturing a generation’s Literary Sage.

“This ‘Talent Cultivation Skills’ is your introductory Cultivation Technique. Although its rank is not high, merely a Profound Rank superior Cultivation Technique, this method is extremely suited for beginners. You can cultivate Magnificent Righteous Qi with it, laying a foundation for the future.”

Lu Changsheng took out a Cultivation Technique.

“A Profound Rank superior Cultivation Technique…”

Mo Huazhi doubted she had heard correctly.

From the Master’s tone, a Profound Rank superior Cultivation Technique seemed as common as cabbage.

Menial workers had no chance to come into contact with Cultivation Techniques, and Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples generally practiced Yellow Rank Cultivation Techniques. Senior Inner Sect Disciples, with years of accumulated contribution points, might be able to exchange for a Profound Rank inferior Cultivation Technique, but even they rarely saw a Profound Rank superior one.

Yet Lu Changsheng would nonchalantly start off with a Profound Rank superior Cultivation Technique, even seeming somewhat disdainful.

“Master, this is too precious, how can I accept it without any contribution?”

“Apart from you, no one else, including myself, is suited to cultivate this technique. Just accept it with peace of mind. If you cultivate it well and attain sainthood soon, that would be the best reward for me.”

Lu Changsheng showed displeasure; was a Profound Rank superior Cultivation Technique not some kind of precious object?

“Disciple understands.”

Mo Huazhi was overwhelmed by the favor and not quite accustomed to Lu Changsheng’s generosity.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Mo Huazhi” with a Profound Rank superior Cultivation Technique ‘Talent Cultivation Skills’, and received a Disciple Apprenticeship System thousandfold return reward: Heaven Rank superior Cultivation Technique ‘Magnificent Righteous Qi Art’.]

[Ding, today’s rewarding opportunities -1, remaining rewarding opportunities are 2.]

‘Magnificent Righteous Qi Art’, a Heaven Rank superior Cultivation Technique?

The name of this method sounded familiar…

Wait, isn’t this the Sect-Defending Skills of the Hidden Dragon Temple!
