Chapter 73: The Second Nascent Soul Realm
Chapter 73: The Second Nascent Soul Realm
Disciple
The Great Xia treasury was filled with elixir pills accumulated over ten thousand years, and with the Disciple Apprenticeship System, Lu Changsheng could see the effects of these pills.
“Python Gold Pill (Fire): A fifth-rank elixir, crafted by a cultivator who killed a Red-Trained Python that had transformed over eight hundred years, extracting its golden core and refining it into this pill. Limited to cultivators with a Fire Spirit Root, it enhances the physique and is exceptionally valuable.” This Golden Core was particularly suitable for the second disciple, Lu Qinglian.
Lu Changsheng chose this Golden Core.
“Ginseng Pill: A fourth-rank elixir, only to be used in the Nascent Soul Realm, helps cultivators consolidate their foundation, slightly enhancing Root Bone.” “Heaven-Mending Pill: A fifth-rank elixir, only to be used in the Nascent Soul Realm, capable of compensating for a lack of Comprehension.
These two Golden Core pills were suitable for Lin Qingzhi, whose talents were relatively average, to improve his innate quality.
Lu Changsheng also selected them.
“Talent-Boosting Pill: A fourth-rank elixir that can stimulate one’s talent and accelerate the condensation of Magnificent Righteous Qi.”
“This pill is suitable for the third disciple.”
Lu Changsheng, seeing the “Talent-Boosting Pill” for the first time, picked it
out.
Lu Changsheng continued to choose thirty fourth-rank and fifth-rank elixir pills.
Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention to the rank; as long as the elixir was suitable for his disciples, he would take it.
“Do you intend to reward your disciples with these, Daoist?
The Second Princess was somewhat surprised.
The elixir pills that Lu Changsheng selected were varied and seemed unlikely to be for his own use.
“It’s not easy to raise three disciples.”
Lu Changsheng sighed.
“Daoist Lu is never weary of teaching, and Si Yan admires that.
The Second Princess was genuinely impressed.
“Hm?”
Lu Changsheng was taken aback when the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s disciple panel displayed that his first disciple, Lin Qingzhi, had entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Name: LinQingzhi”
“Race: Human”
“Natural Talent: Heart of the Innocent, Innate Spiritual Vein, Wood Spirit
Root”
“Cultivation: Nascent Soul Realm, First Layer
“Dao Bone: 23 years”
“Virtue: 2500”
“Cultivation Technique: Taxuan Skills (Complete)”
“Martial Technique: Soaring Cloud Sword Technique (Complete)
“Items available for rewarding: Elixir pills of the fifth rank or below, talismans, Earth Rank cultivation techniques, Acquired Spirit Treasures…”
Because Lin Qingzhi focused on cultivating the Taxuan Skills and the Soaring Cloud Sword Technique, the moment he stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, he had an epiphany, and both the Taxuan Skills and Soaring Cloud Sword Technique were completed.
“This is the terrible epiphany ability of the Heart of the Innocent…
Lu Changsheng was beginning to realize the terrifying potential of the Heart of the Innocent talent.
There’s no telling when Lin Qingzhi might have another epiphany, with his cultivation technique reaching completion and his cultivation level soaring-it could all happen to Lin Qingzhi.
As the first disciple, Lin Qingzhi’s potential was no less than that of Lu Qinglian and Mo Huazhi.
In a location five thousand miles away from the imperial city, an early- stage Nascent Soul Realm elder of the Joyous Union Sect, watched in horror as the Green Abyss Sword pierced his body, unable to believe that the Golden Core Realm disciple from Mount Shu would actually break through during the battle.
Lin Qingzhi’s eyes were stubborn, his right arm bled profusely, and he could only use his left hand to kill the elder of the Joyous Union Sect.
“It’s over.”
Lin Qingzhi withdrew the Green Abyss Sword and left, limping away.
The corpse of the Joyous Union Sect elder fell to the ground.
Lin Qingzhi had walked less than twenty steps when, due to severe injuries, he half-knelt on the ground, using his longsword to support his body.
Chen Yao, also seriously injured, helped Lin Qingzhi up and went to regroup with the other Mount Shu disciples.
“To die under my Chasing Wind Sword is an honor for you.” Zhao Wuyan led the team to overrun this Joyous Union Sect base, and an elder of the Joyous Union Sect at the Dao Palace Realm was slain by Zhao Wuyan.
The other Mount Shu elders and disciples, responsible for dealing with the remaining Joyous Union Sect elders and disciples, also suffered casualties.
Xiao Xiangdao, relying on his Spirit Sword Physique’s insight in Sword Dao, engaged two Golden Core Realm ninth layer Joyous Union Sect disciples and slew them both.
Xiao Xiangdao made a gesture with his right hand, and his Flying Sword returned to its sheath.
“Where did Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao go?”
Zhao Wuyan scanned the Mount Shu disciples present, noticed the two were missing, and he grew desperately anxious.
Lin Qingzhi was a disciple of Lu Changsheng, and Chen Yao was a disciple of the Supreme Elder. If they had died at the hands of Joyous Union Sect elders, Zhao Wuyan would have no explanation upon his return to Mount Shu.
“They were attacked by an elder of the Joyous Union Sect, and I was too preoccupied to help. I fear that…”
The face of Mount Shu Elder Fang She was pale as he had been restrained by another Joyous Union Sect elder at the time and couldn’t aid them.
Zhao Wuyan’s Divine Sense rapidly spread outwards, searching for the breath of Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao.
“Found them, they’re still alive!”
While Zhao Wuyan was in a state of urgency, he quickly located the breath of
Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao, much to his delight.
They saw Chen Yao supporting an almost unconscious Lin Qingzhi, escaping to safety, both of them covered in blood.
“We were attacked by a Joyous Union Sect elder in the Nascent Soul Realm second layer and several Golden Core Realm disciples. In the end, Lin broke through and slew the Joyous Union Sect elder…
Chen Yao, out of breath but still lucid, recounted the rough course of events.
“You killed a Nascent Soul Realm second layer elder of the Joyous Union Sect?”
The people present were utterly astonished.
Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao were both recognized as outstanding disciples of Mount Shu, but for Golden Core Realm cultivators to kill a Joyous Union Sect elder in the Nascent Soul Realm was indeed shocking news.
“Hahaha, worthy as the chief disciple of Lu and the closed-door disciple of the Supreme Elder, you’ve done very well. I’ll report this to the Record Keeping Pavilion and record your contributions to the sect.
Zhao Wuyan was in high spirits, and he patted Lin Qingzhi’s shoulder, causing
Lin Qingzhi to grimace in pain.
“Sister, in my belt, there’s abag of elixir pills…”
Lin Qingzhi felt excruciating pain all over. He and Chen Yao had joined forces, breaking through and slaying a Joyous Union Sect elder, draining all their Spiritual Energy and damaging their meridians, needing a period of recuperation.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng often bestowed numerous elixir pills, and Lin Qingzhi carried a bag of elixir pills which could accelerate his recovery.
Chen Yao took out the cloth bag, and Lin Qingzhi consumed Scarlet Blood Pills and Qi-Returning Pills, and made an effort to operate his cultivation technique to repair the damaged meridians on his own.
Chen Yao wasn’t surprised that Lin Qingzhi possessed a large amount of elixir pills.
She often visited Qingyun Peak and knew that Lin Qingzhi’s master enjoyed rewarding his disciples with various treasures the most. Out of love for the house and its crow, even when Chen Yao visited Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng would bestow upon her the spare elixir pills he had, as if they were as common as cabbage in the mortal world.
Chen Yao also took two elixir pills and operated her cultivation technique to recover from her injuries.
“This guy, he actually killed a Joyous Union Sect elder…
Xiao Xiangdao1 s eyes hardened as he approached Lin Qingzhi.
“Xiao, what are you going to do?”
Chen Yao, protective of the injured Lin Qingzhi, stepped in front of him upon seeing Xiao Xiangdao approach.
Xiao Xiangdao smiled and said, “Lin has defeated a Joyous Union Sect elder and must have extraordinary abilities. Once Lin has recovered from his injuries, I wish to exchange pointers with him so that we can promote mutual growth.” “So it’s just that, but we will have to wait until Lin has recovered.
Chen Yao had not yet mentioned to everyone that Lin Qingzhi’s cultivation had in fact already progressed to the Nascent Soul Realm.
For Xiao Xiangdao to actively propose an exchange of pointers was merely asking for self-inflicted hardship.
“It’s appropriate for young people to exchange pointers with each other, as long as it doesn’t harm the camaraderie. I used to exchange pointers with my eldest martial brother frequently, but unfortunately, I was utterly defeated every time. Strange…”
Zhao Wuyan suddenly sensed something was off with Lin Qingzhi’s breath. Could it be that Lu has nurtured a second disciple into the Nascent Soul Realm?
