Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1274: Chapter 683: Leaving Seclusion

Tang Xue Ning didn’t pursue further questions; she sensed the injuries within her body. For the past two years, her grievous wounds, which had caused her extreme discomfort, were entirely healed.

”’Innate Wood’ divine skill is indeed extraordinary. It seems the injured Sword Cultivators in the pavilion no longer need to search for healing spirit pills!” Tang Xue Ning praised with a smile.

”I have a Gold Talent, ’Innate Wood’ divine skill requires wood element spiritual power to perform. I can only use ’Innate Wood’ divine skill up to ten times a day as it restores its energy by itself!” Li Yuanba explained with a wave of his hand.

”Ten times is equivalent to ten fourth-grade advanced healing spirit pills. We Sword Cultivators are too prone to injuries. Are you willing to disclose the matter of ’Innate Wood’ divine skill?” Tang Xue Ning then realized Li Yuanba’s thoughts, knowing she couldn’t disclose his mastery of ’Innate Wood’ divine skill without his consent, so she asked.

Of course, she hoped Li Yuanba could reveal it. In that case, the ’Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’ would have a healing cultivator mastering ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, who was also at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

”For now, it remains undisclosed. But if any senior or junior gets injured, I am willing to help!” Li Yuanba after thinking, shook his head and said.

Although he had the Sword Elder supporting him, explaining the source of this ’Innate Wood’ divine skill was tricky. Moreover, he didn’t want to be pestered by too many Sword Cultivators.

A divine skill can be passed down. Generally, a Nascent Soul Cultivator mastering a divine skill can create a divine skill inheritance once the skill reaches a certain level.

Nascent Soul Cultivators capable of passing down divine skills are usually Great Cultivators. To enhance a divine skill to a certain level requires an understanding of the rules involved in the skill, a realm barely accessible by Great Cultivators.

Even if a divine skill inheritance from a Great Cultivator is left behind, it comes with a usage limit. Once the Great Cultivator’s divine skill mark dissipates, the inherited item loses its effect.

Only divine skill inheritance from Great Mahayana Cultivators can last long, remaining intact for thousands of years as long as it is not destroyed.

In the Fuliu Sect, the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill is left by a formidable power, allowing it to be passed down continuously within the sect.

Even if no cultivator in the Fuliu Sect masters the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, as long as the inheritance item remains, there’s a hope to pass the skill down.

Some outer sects receiving the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance may leave it behind once they reach the Great Cultivator Realm and enhance the skill to a certain level.

However, unless a sapient individual mastering ’Innate Wood’ divine skill occurs in that sect, the skill will gradually vanish.

This leads to the association of specific divine skills with certain sects, where permanent divine skill inheritance exists due to the presence of a powerful individual.

If Li Yuanba doesn’t offer an explanation, the only source of his ’Innate Wood’ divine skill inheritance appears to be Fuliu Sect.

He doesn’t mind if other cultivators know about his ’Innate Wood’ divine skill. However, he can’t genuinely become the ’Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s healing cultivator. He won’t waste significant time for other Sword Cultivators.

Helping out acquaintances among Sword Cultivators who come seeking treatment from him is not an issue.

”Alright then!” Tang Xue Ning nodded in understanding.

Being a Sword Cultivator herself, if causing her precious time to treat other cultivators, she wouldn’t be willing, even with certain benefits.

With such time, it would be better to engage in battles and seize spoils directly and swiftly.

”Now that your cultivation has stabilized, do you have any plans to take on a mission together?” she continued asking.

”Senior Sister, are you planning on seeking revenge?” Li Yuanba saw the anticipation in Tang Xue Ning’s eyes and couldn’t help suspecting.

”Yes, I have long located the cultivator who injured me. Previously, I was injured, but now I am healed. Your strength has stabilized, how about accompanying me to deal with that cultivator and complete the pavilion’s mission?” Tang Xue Ning replied, nodding.

She didn’t hide anything. She was well aware of Li Yuanba’s combat capabilities.

Back when Li Yuanba was still at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he was already a great help to her. Now that he has advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, his combat power will be even stronger.

With Li Yuanba backing her, she had the confidence to face that cultivator again.

Though there were numerous Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators in the ’Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’, only the core Sword Cultivators could provide real support for her.

However, core Sword Cultivators were extremely busy. Without prior arrangement, it was hard to find one available to help her.

”As Senior Sister has invited, of course, I will join you!” Li Yuanba agreed, nodding.

He didn’t take Nascent Soul Middle Stage opponents seriously at all. With his current strength, few could rival him among Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.

His sight was already set on the Great Cultivator level. If given a chance, he would even consider a battle with an Independent Cultivator just to test if he could battle across levels.

He somewhat understood the perspective of core cultivators from superpowers. Once one’s strength surpasses their peers, the individual’s goals set higher.

”Give me a few days to recuperate, and I’ll find you then!” Hearing Li Yuanba’s agreement, Tang Xue Ning stood up promptly and said.

She turned and left, eager to return and adjust herself.

Although she received Li Yuanba’s ’Innate Wood’ divine skill treatment and her wounds healed, it still required time to fully recover her combat strength; it couldn’t be restored immediately to the previous state.

Li Yuanba chuckled, he currently had another crucial task following his retreat, that was strengthening the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

Over a few years, the original Li Shiming’s life-bound magical treasure, IBMz15, had delved deeply into the contents of refining a mountain peak magical treasure obtained from the ’White Emperor Sect’, and had redesigned the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ accordingly.

This time, Li Yuanba needed to meet the original Li Shiming, entrust ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ to him, for Li Shiming to allocate a life-bound magical treasure spot to refine it.

Only a life-bound magical treasure could undergo upgrades using high-quality artifact refining materials, which was its unique virtue.

Initially, his design for the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ could only elevate it to a top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure.

While the interior ten thousand energy-converted flying swords were its real strength, being upgradeable, the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ as a container was immensely important.

If the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ was of subpar quality, it would limit the growth of the ten thousand energy-converted flying swords within.

Previously, Li Shiming’s perspective was limited, thinking top-level Fourth Grade Magical Treasure was already high in quality.

After continuously refining spirit treasures, he realized his past narrow view.

Hence, he believed allocating a life-bound magical treasure slot for the growth-potential ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ wasn’t wasteful.

After extensive research, the new design from life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 held a high potential to ascend ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ to the level of a spirit treasure.

Of course, the prerequisite was that ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ must be a life-bound magical treasure. Currently, Li Yuanba’s life-bound magical treasure spot was given to the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword, being a Sword Cultivator, his only choice.

However, the original Li Shiming still retained two available life-bound magical treasure slots.

Furthermore, even if Li Shiming refined ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ as a life-bound magical treasure, it wouldn’t affect the avatar Li Yuanba’s usage, as the original’s life-bound magical treasures were equivalently Li Yuanba’s own.

Li Yuanba could even absorb the energy from Li Shiming’s life-bound magical treasures into his Nascent Soul body, since the original and the avatar are essentially one entity.
