I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 458: Chapter 326 Guidance _2

“Indeed, your foundation in the Sword Dao is strong. Clearly, you’ve practiced extensively.”

“However, if you aspire to reach the Rainbow Sword Realm, you need to comprehend more about nature’s spiritual energy. After all, the so-called Sword Qi Long Rainbow is about using the strength of one-third sword qi to stimulate seven-tenths of nature’s spiritual energy. Thus, your opponent isn’t just battling with your sword qi, but against the universe itself.”

“My suggestion is to prioritize stability after your Foundation Establishment. Don’t use Spirit Stones to enhance your spiritual power anymore, but use cultivation techniques to naturally absorb and cultivate nature’s spiritual energy. Once you’ve grasped the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi, start thinking about raising your cultivation level.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, he motioned for Yu Lian to use the Silvery Sky Sword Qi.

“Yes, elder brother.”

Upon hearing these words, Yu Lian immediately raised his sword-holding right hand and exercised his cultivation techniques to circulate the sword qi on the sword blade.

The sword qi shone with a silvery light, reminiscent of snow-capped mountains, like a Milky Way Waterfall, giving a sense of purity, yet coldness.

“I’ll use my Divine Sense to enter your body and temporarily control your spiritual power and sword qi, so you can experience the realm of the Rainbow Sword Qi. Don’t get nervous, just relax.”

When Chen Mobai mentioned this, Luo Yixuan, who was standing by, was completely flabbergasted.

Generally, this is a privilege only core direct disciples enjoy. It couldn’t be that her master was about to take another disciple, if so, wouldn’t her position as the youngest one be lost?

While she was lost in her wild thoughts, a stunningly brilliant silvery light burst forth from the wooden sword held by Yu Lian. As it was a silver meteor flying towards the sky, bearing a brilliant tail, it ascended from the peak of Xiao Nanshan and painted a beautiful arc under the clear sky.

Zhuo Ming, who was tending to the Spirit Field at the foot of the mountain, saw this scene and thought something had happened. She immediately dropped her hoe and headed for the mountain peak.

Such a beautiful Sword Rainbow!

The moment Luo Yixuan saw the Silvery Sky Sword Rainbow, she was dazzled and mesmerized.

This was more beautiful than all the fireworks she had ever seen. A phrase popped into her mind: trees ablaze and flowers of molten silver.

“Thank you, Elder Brother, for your guidance. If you don’t mind, I am willing to recognize you as my mentor.”

After Chen Mobai lifted his sword finger from Yu Lian’s wrist, the latter immediately showed his gratitude with a deep bow.

“You have already sworn allegiance to Elder Brother Shan. Besides, given your talent, you’ll be able to comprehend sword rainbow sooner or later.”

Chen Mobai shook his head. Although the rules of Divine Wood Sect stated that individuals of the same generation could call each other ‘elder brother’, he still felt that accepting Yu Lian as his disciple was a bit too much.

“If you have any questions about Sword Dao in the future, feel free to send a message to me. As long as I’ve finished my cultivation regimen and have some spare time, I’ll do my best to answer. However, keep in mind that my own cultivation level is limited, and there might be some questions I can’t answer.”

“You are truly too modest, Elder Brother.”

Yu Lian responded with heartfelt sincerity then asked some questions that he had amassed while practicing the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture.

Zhuo Ming arrived at this point. She saw Chen Mobai and Yu Lian deep in conversation, and was confused. Luo Yixuan immediately beckoned her sister to come over and explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ming looked on with envy.

“Amongst us, Yu Lian was the strongest from the beginning. It seems that the first to establish the foundation after our master was bound to be him.”

Hearing this, Luo Yixuan felt a minor prick of dissatisfaction. She believed that if she had sworn allegiance to Chen Mobai when she first met him in the Southstream Market, her achievements might not necessarily be worse than Yu Lian’s.

“Elder Brother Chen, I will take my leave now.”

In the span of two cups of tea, what Yu Lian had learned from Chen Mobai far exceeded what he had gained from seven years under the mentorship of Shan Hongyi.

After all, Shan Hongyi wasn’t a Sword Cultivator nor did he practice the Silver Sky Thousand Absoluteness Sword Scripture. Unlike Chen Mobai who knew Yu Lian’s body data and technique more clearly than Yu Lian himself.

“If my guess is correct, Yu Lian should be able to get a Tree Fruit using the Wood Spiritual Talisman. Even so, he will still lack one. It seems I have to invest more in the other two disciples. However, it would be best if they took the initiative to ask me for help.”

After sending away Yu Lian, while contemplating these matters, Chen Mobai waved at Luo Yixuan, who promptly came over with Zhuo Ming.

“Elder Brother, you called me.”

“What is the situation with the other two Junior Brothers who exchanged for Foundation Building Pills?”

“There is no news yet. They do have backup, not like Brother Yu…Uncle Yu, who is desperate to take the Foundation Building Pill as soon as possible. They may delay it for a year or two.”

As required by Chen Mobai, Luo Yixuan also kept an eye on Mu Yuan and Li Yixian, but there was no news of them taking the Foundation Building Pill.

“By the end of the year at the latest, they should take it, but it would be better to take it now.”

Chen Mobai shook his head, uttering a sentence that puzzled Luo Yixuan.

“In three years, a batch of Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms will mature. If they take the Foundation Building Pills now, even if they fail at Foundation Establishment, they can recover within three years and compete again for these orthodox Foundation Building Pills. If they delay for a year or two, a serious injury from failure of Foundation Establishment might prevent them from recovering completely and they might miss the opportunity to exchange for the second Foundation Building Pill.”

At these words, Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming both nodded in enlightenment.

Zhuo Ming had no thoughts about this as she had just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, and if she could reach the eighth level in three years, she would be very happy. She had given up on Foundation Establishment long ago.

Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, expressed full confidence that she would succeed in Foundation Establishment at her first attempt and bring honor to Xiao Nanshan.

“Xuan, Ming, you two go to Divine Wood City in the next few days.”

“Master, is there anything we need to do?”

The two disciples asked in unison.

“Ming, you go to South Mountain Shop to stack a batch of new wines, saying that I opened it personally. Xuan, you take the new wine to some of my friends. If they ask about my condition, just say that I broke through in my seclusion and very happily exited it.”

Although Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan didn’t understand Chen Mobai’s intention, they both agreed obediently by nodding.

Reward Virtue Hall.

After Chu Zuoshu received the new wine delivered by Luo Yixuan and was about to open it, Fu Huakun and the Puppet Department head An Jinghui suddenly appeared.

“Rare guests. It just so happens that Junior Brother Chen sent a jar of new wine through his disciple today, let’s taste it together.”

The Puppet Department is under the control of the Penalty Evil Hall, and the previous Puppet Department leader was Elder Fu himself.

An Jinghui is a direct disciple of Elder Fu, and he seldom has any association with Chu Zuoshu in daily life. Seeing him come in with Fu Huakun today, Chu Zuoshu was very curious.

“Brother Chu, I won’t beat around the bush. My disciple would like to ask Brother Chen for some insights on Foundation Establishment, but I don’t know Brother Chen well, so I have to ask Brother Fu to bridge the gap for us.”

An Jinghui sat down with a bitter smile, proactively took up the jar of wine to pour for Chu Zuoshu, while Fu Huakun was silently drinking his wine. After he made the introduction, his task was accomplished.

“Oh, isn’t there a collection of all kinds of sect Cultivation Techniques insights on Foundation Establishment in the Book Pavilion? Even though Brother Chen is a genius, everyone is different. It’s more reliable to learn from various sources if you ask me.”

Chu Zuoshu didn’t know about Yu Lian’s Foundation Establishment. An Jinghui immediately explained the whole story.

“Brother Chen is the first person in our Divine Wood Sect to successfully reach Foundation Establishment stage by taking a demonic beast Foundation Building Pill. Yu Lian succeeded at Foundation Establishment at his first attempt with his guidance. There must be some key tips. But it would be too presumptuous to ask for these secrets directly, so I can only ask for your help, Brother Chu, who is the future Sect Leader.”

When An Jinghui said this, he was very polite. But Chu Zuoshu was very calm, and wasn’t confused by the flattery.

“I see, I can only help you to mention this to Brother Chen. After all, it involves secret techniques, and even if he doesn’t agree, no one can force him, not even the two Elders.”

The Tianhe Realm strongly protects the transmission of Cultivation Techniques and knowledge. Sometimes, even if the sect is destroyed, it won’t be passed down.

So Chu Zuoshu didn’t dare to make promises. If the one asking for help wasn’t the Puppet Department head, Elder Fu’s disciple, and didn’t have Fu Huakun’s face to save, he might have directly refused.

“Exactly, Brother Chu, I am very grateful that you are willing to help. This really matters to my disciple’s Foundation Establishment, so I have no choice but to be thick-skinned.”

The same situation occurred in Shenmu Hall.

Just after cleaning up the fishing gear with Cang Qi, Meng Hong, who was preparing to go fishing, found that his youngest disciple, Mu Yuan, surprisingly took the initiative to help him carry the fish basket. He couldn’t help but marvel.
