Chapter 161 - 111: Old Huang’s Momentary Revival 2
This was the ruthless Cultivation World, not the blissful Huaxia. Once magic beyond the ordinary was displayed, there was a high chance of being dissected and studied.
Even within the Liu Yun Sect, under the protection of Gold Sword Zen Ren, one’s life may be worry-free, but once outside the sect, it would be like a sheep entering a pack of wolves, attracting a lot of attention.
In comparison, the Path of Survivor was much more comfortable, not attracting anyone’s attention. Being able to deceive others at will was quite good.
Returning to the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, Qiu Sheng Hai was still taking care of the medicine field. When he saw Lin Yi return, a glint flashed through his eyes and a strange color appeared on his face, he gave a respectful salute.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, no, now I should call you Brother Lin for breaking through to the Eighth Realm. You are only one step away from building the foundation.”
“Brother Qiu, stop joking with me, I cannot bear to be called senior brother.” Lin Yi waved his hand. If we were to look at it, disciples in the Qi Refinement Realm should call him uncle master.
Qiu Sheng Hai chuckled, he didn’t joke further and instead asked, “I seem to have heard that in the cultivation cave mansion of Tian Yun City something unusual has happened. Do you know anything about it, Junior Brother Lin?”
Lin Yi shook his head, “I was cultivating at that time and didn’t see it. I only heard that the surrounding spiritual energy madly gathered towards the cultivation mansion. It should be a senior brother who has comprehended the Great Dao.”
“When I left the cave mansion and returned, I suddenly felt a surge of energy breaking through the foundation. I wonder if it was also the senior brother who triggered the anomaly.”
“Oh, then I have to join the excitement. Being able to trigger a heavenly phenomenon is not something the average person can do. Junior Brother Lin, I take my leave now.” The curiosity was written all over Qiu Sheng Hail s face. He gave a bow to Lin Yi and prepared to leave.
Lin Yi immediately handed over the costs for taking care of the medicine field during this period to Qiu Sheng Hai, “Brother Qiu, you have worked hard these days, take care.”
Qiu Sheng Hai waved his hand and smiled, “It was not hard at all, I have practiced caring for Spirit Grass and also earned Spirit Stones, killing two birds with one stone.”
“You have broken into the Eighth Realm, you should prepare well. I’ve heard
that the contention for the quotas for the Secret Realm is about to end. The
Farming Spells you have been practicing for so long will finally come in
handy.”
Lin Yi nodded his head, watching Qiu Sheng Hai leave. Now that he had broken through the foundation, fulfilling his initial plan, he indeed had to prepare to enter the Secret Realm.
During the previous years of cultivation, not only did his high-level Farming Spells reach the Great Perfect Level, but the high-order Thunder System Spell: Five Thunders Curse also reached the Great Perfect Level.
In the future, he would try to combine the Five Thunders Curse with the Farming Spells. While it was raining, he could also release Thunder and Lightning.
Although it was better to directly release Thunder and Lightning, one could never have too many ways to deceive others. One might never know when it might come in handy.
Of course, the most important thing now was to learn the Sword Control Technique and buy a regular Flying Sword first.
Having a Flying Sword made-to-order was not something that could be achieved in the blink of an eye. Lin Yi thought he would refine the Sword Control Technique to proficiency or great success first and then ask someone to forge a Flying Sword suitable for him.
He immediately flew to the Scripture Hall of Golden Sword Peak on a Flying Boat, ready to learn the Sword Control Technique. In the previous two years of cultivation, he also took the time to complete some merit tasks and had accumulated more than two thousand merit points.
Being at the level of Qi Refining Tenth Layer completely allows him to be dominant under Foundation Building. However, he still chose some tasks where the targets were in the sixth or seventh layer of Qi Refinement modestly. And the most tasks he took on were related to the evil cults in the demonic path.
His Five Thunders Curse was the nemesis of these guys, and killing such people could gain him a lot of Virtue Points.
When Lin Yi arrived at the Scripture Palace, the Scripture Elder had been replaced. He had heard that these elders rotated once a year, moving between the Scripture Palaces of the Eleven Peaks of Golden Pill.
It was estimated that it would be a few years before he saw Elder Liu, who was selling the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, again.
After learning of Lin Yi’s intention, the Scripture Elder kindly reminded him, “The Sword Control Technique can only be practiced by the Foundation Building cultivator, and it requires one thousand five hundred merit points .
“You are now at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage, studying it now is a bit early, storing it in your mind could be somewhat wasteful, it’s better to use merits in enhancing strength.”
Lin Yi saluted the Scripture Elder, “Thank you for reminding me, Elder.
However, I have learned all the spells I should learn, I still want to learn the Sword Control Technique first. Every day when I feel the Sword Control
Technique sealed in my mind, I will have more motivation to strive towards
the realm of building the foundation.”
If the Sword Control Technique could be bought in Qing Yun City, he would not have come to the Scripture Palace. The reason is that this essential Sword Control Technique in the Foundation Building Realm can only be learned in sects.
If the Loose Cultivator in the Foundation Building Realm want to learn it, they could only join the Sect. This was probably the agreement reached by the sects in the Heng Yuan Cultivation World, with the aim of attracting talents.
“It does seem to make some sense since you’ve already decided, then we’ll deduct the merit points.” The Scripture Elder didn’t waste any more time and directly deducted fifteen hundred merit points. He then took out the jade slip of the Sword Control Technique and handed it over to Lin Yi.
The jade slip that contains the Sword Control Technique was similar to the jade slip of the Creation Method. The spiritual power inside the jade stone was very dense.
Lin Yi put the Scripture Jade Slip on his forehead and ignited it with Spiritual Power. Instantly, the knowledge about the Sword Control Technique was transferred into his mind.
After the transmission was completed, Lin Yi pretended as if he hadn’t seen a thing. He handed the jade slip back, expressed his gratitude, and then left the Scripture Palace..
