Why Would Young Master Lu Be Interested in a Mere Peak Earth-Tier Cultivation Method?

Su Jinxuan and Han Qianshan both turned their gazes to Lin Xuanchen.

Since the beginning, the eldest elder has not made any explicit statement, but has simply sat there quietly.

Those warm, deep brown eyes were half-closed, as if they were resting, or perhaps thinking about something further away.

Seeing that the three of them were waiting for him to speak, Lin Xuanchen remained silent for a moment before slowly raising his eyelids.

"Have you considered this: if we really asked Young Master Lu to raise the Spiritual Qi concentration of the entire Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to the level of Supreme-Grade Spirit Vein, how big of a commotion would that be?"

Qi Yunshu and the other two were all taken aback.

All three were Nascent Soul Cultivator had lived for hundreds of years, so their minds were naturally not slow.

Lin Xuanchen had only just begun speaking when they started pushing the discussion further.

Immediately afterward, the expressions on the three people's faces changed drastically.

A fine layer of cold sweat even appeared on Han Qianshan's forehead.

He raised his hand and wiped his forehead, his broad palm lingering there for several breaths before he lowered it.

His voice was slightly lower than before, tinged with lingering fear and self-reproach. "Grandmaster Uncle was right, Qianshan was blinded by greed!"

Qi Yunshu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and nodded, saying, "Yes, thank goodness our grandmaster uncle reminded us! If Young Master Lu had truly increased the Spiritual Qi concentration throughout the entire sect area, it probably wouldn't have been long before Spirit Transformation Realm expert came knocking!"

That's the concentration of Spiritual Qi from Supreme-Grade Spirit Vein!

Once discovered by the Spirit Transformation Realm expert, it will definitely be snatched away!

Spirit Transformation Realm!

The moment those three words were uttered, the temperature in the entire reception room seemed to drop several degrees.

Nascent Soul Cultivators can roam freely in Qin Province, but in front of the Spirit Transformation Realm expert, even Peak Nascent Soul is like an ant!

If it really comes to that, even if the entire Golden Rainbow Sword Sect were to send out all their Nascent Soul, they still wouldn't be able to save the sect.

Lu Yang will probably be fine.

Given his background and status, even powerful cultivators at the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm would likely be wary of him.

But what about the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect?

They won't be polite to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

The best outcome would probably be that all the disciples would be kicked out, and the disciples and grand-disciples of the Spirit Transformation Realm experts would move in!

For Lu Yang, it's simply a matter of getting a new group of neighbors; it won't have any impact whatsoever!

"The three of us were only thinking about how to increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi and how to push the sect to a higher level, but we forgot about such a huge hidden danger." Qi Yunshu's smile was full of bitterness. "It's really... all because of greed! We couldn't even calculate the most basic pros and cons."

Su Jinxuan pursed her red lips, a rare hint of unease flashing across her usually aloof and beautiful face.

She lowered her head slightly, her long, slender fingers unconsciously twisting the gold-red cuff twice.

Even someone like her, who advocates for a gradual and steady approach, was only thinking about how to reliably ask Lu Yang for help.

She never considered the consequences of helping.

The benefits of increasing the concentration of Spiritual Qi tenfold are simply too great.

It was so large that it completely obscured their vision.

Lin Xuanchen smiled gently as he looked at the complicated expressions on the three people's faces.

There was no blame on that wrinkled face, but rather a hint of magnanimity from someone with experience. "It's only human nature. What happened today is shocking enough, even for Nascent Soul Cultivators. It's perfectly normal to be unable to make a sound judgment under such circumstances. Once you calm down, you'll think about the consequences first."

The three of them lowered their heads slightly, looking somewhat ashamed.

Lin Xuanchen didn't elaborate further on this point, instead stating his own thoughts. "Therefore, my idea is that Young Master Lu should only increase the Spiritual Qi concentration of a small portion of the mountains. Afterward, we can set up some formations to completely isolate these areas into forbidden zones. Ordinary disciples won't be able to detect them, and the news won't be able to get out. In this way, we can enjoy the benefits of Supreme-Grade Spirit Veins without attracting hungry wolves from outside. This ensures our safety."

Qi Yunshu nodded thoughtfully, "Grandmaster is right. In fact, even in High-Grade Spirit Vein area, Golden Core Realm cultivator can maintain a decent cultivation speed. This Supreme-Grade Spirit Vein is fine for our Supreme Elder to cultivate in. There are only a few of us, and we are all loyal to the sect. With minimal disturbance, we can remain safe and discreet!"

Han Qianshan crossed his strong arms and added, "However, core disciples who are the focus of the sect's training can also enter the forbidden area for cultivation, provided that they swear Great Heavenly Dao Oath, promising never to reveal anything about the forbidden area."

Su Jinxuan's powerful phoenix eyes lit up.

She clenched her delicate hands resting on her lap slightly, her tone becoming a bit lighter than before. "If it's only a small area, perhaps it won't be too much trouble for Young Master Lu? If we spend more time with Young Master Lu, deepen our friendship, and after some time, we might be able to persuade him to come."

Upon hearing the words "deepen friendship," Qi Yunshu suddenly thought of something.

His eyes lit up, and he leaned forward slightly. "A few days ago, I chatted with Young Master Lu on that flying boat. He seemed quite interested in our sect's Golden Rainbow Sword Canon. How about... we teach Young Master Lu Cultivation Method?"

Han Qianshan frowned, a hint of confusion on his sharply defined face. "With Young Master Lu's status and background, why would he be interested in Earth Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method? Shouldn't he be learning Heaven Grade Cultivation Method?"

Generally speaking, for powerful sects at the level of Immortal Sect Holy Lands, the starting point for their sect's most Cultivation Method is the Heaven Grade.

Lu Yang's background is mysterious and prestigious, at least at the level of Immortal Sect Holy Land, and they even speculate that he may be stronger, coming from the mysterious Central Domain or other higher planes.

Why would someone like that be interested in Earth Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method?

Lin Xuanchen stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before offering his guess, "Perhaps, it's for comprehending the Great Dao? Didn't Yunshu say that Young Master Lu already has a profound understanding of the Metal Dao and the Sword Dao? Studying Earth Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method is quite helpful for comprehending the Great Dao."

The other three suddenly realized what was happening.

This explanation does make sense.

Su Jinxuan nodded slightly. "That makes sense. Cultivation Method that combines the golden and sword paths is quite rare in the entire Eastern Domain. As Earth Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method for cultivating both the golden and sword paths, the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon might be worth studying for Young Master Lu?"

She paused, a serious expression appearing on her cold, beautiful face, and continued, "Since we intend to ask Young Master Lu for help, we naturally cannot be stingy. Although the 'Golden Rainbow Sword Canon' is the most treasured Cultivation Method of our Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, Young Master Young Master Lu is also considered a disciple of our sect. Teaching him the Cultivation Method would not violate the sect rules. What do you think, Grandmaster Uncle?"

Lin Xuanchen pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Alright, after all, we are the ones who need his help. It's the most basic thing to show our sincerity first. Given Young Master Lu's personality, if we treat him sincerely, he shouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand."

Qi Yunshu had already investigated Lu Yang's actions thoroughly beforehand.

In addition, after the incident with the Li Household and Qi Yunshu's firsthand observation, the group had gained a certain understanding of Lu Yang's personality.

In their view, Lu Yang was gentle, generous, and knew how to conduct himself properly.

If they genuinely want to befriend Young Master Lu, then they still have a good chance of getting Young Master Lu help.

Qi Yunshu slammed his hand on the table, a deep thud echoing from his jade-like face. "Then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll take the sect's most Cultivation Method to discuss it with Young Master Lu."

Just then, Qi Yunshu thought of something, his gaze shifted to Su Jinxuan, and he suggested, "Junior Sister, you cultivate the 'Golden Rainbow Sword Canon,' why don't you come with me tomorrow? Your level of understanding of this Cultivation Method is unmatched in the sect. With you there, if Young Master Lu has any questions, someone will be there to answer them."

Su Jinxuan is the only genius in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect in the past five hundred years to have comprehended the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon to an extremely profound level.

Because the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon requires the simultaneous cultivation of both the Golden and Sword paths, it requires more time to comprehend the Great Dao, and the difficulty of breaking through will also increase.

Even so, Su Jinxuan still managed to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, which shows how strong her talent was.

However... precisely because the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon is extremely difficult to cultivate, even Su Jinxuan was hindered by it, and her cultivation speed was much slower than Han Qianshan's.

Han Qianshan was already in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, while Su Jinxuan was still in the Early Nascent Soul.

However, in actual combat, Su Jinxuan, relying on the formidable power of the "Golden Rainbow Sword Canon," held her own against Han Qianshan, who Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

It would be perfect to have her help Lu Yang decipher the Cultivation Method.

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan nodded slightly without hesitation, her tone decisive. "Okay."

Although her most important task right now is to continue to comprehend the two paths of the Golden Sword and improve the level of the "Golden Rainbow Sword Canon" in order to accelerate her cultivation speed.

However, if she could use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Lu Yang and secure an increase in Spiritual Qi energy concentration for the sect, the reward would not only be for the sect but also for her own cultivation environment.

You can't go wrong with this.

"It's settled then. We'll go together first thing tomorrow morning."

The next day, early morning.

The mist on the nameless mountain peak was tinged with a pale gold by the rising sun, spreading from the summit all the way to the foot of the mountain, layer upon layer, slowly surging.

Birdsong drifted up from the pine forest, becoming faint and distant after being filtered through the cave abode's stone walls.

In Lu Yang's bedroom.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands forming a mudra and resting in front of his knees, slowly ending his practice.

The last trace of spiritual energy flowed through his meridians back into his Dantian. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, which condensed into a small cloud of white mist in the air before quickly dissipating.

He opened his eyes and glanced to his side.

Jiang Shiqing was still fast asleep.

She lay on her side on the inside of the bed, her long, black hair spread out on the pillow, a few strands clinging to her cheeks which were still slightly flushed.

Her snow-white shoulders were exposed outside the blankets, their lines as soft as polished warm jade, and two very faint tear tracks clung to the corners of her eyes.

Last night, Lu Yang originally planned to teach her the "True Explanation of the Azure Waves" in a proper manner.

Somehow, the conversation somehow drifted into discussing dual cultivation in bed.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Shiqing really wanted to improve, she hadn't fully recovered, and her performance lasted even shorter than last time.

In the end, Lu Yang could only reluctantly stop practicing and sit down to meditate and cultivate.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Jiang Shiqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were still misty with sleep, and as her gaze slowly focused, it immediately softened with tender affection when it met Lu Yang's eyes.

She moved closer to Lu Yang, pressing her warm cheek against his leg, her voice slightly hoarse from just waking up. "Young Master, have you finished your cultivation?"

Lu Yang reached out and stroked her smooth, warm cheek, a smile playing on his lips. "Mm. Good morning, Shiqing."

Jiang Shiqing closed her eyes, quietly enjoying Lu Yang's caresses, her breathing even and fine, like a satisfied cat.

After a long while, she finally mustered all her willpower to move her face away from Lu Yang's hand and sit up.

The blankets slipped off her shoulders, and she raised her hand to gather her disheveled long hair before starting to tidy her clothes.

"I'll go prepare breakfast for you, young master," she said as she fastened her belt, her voice still carrying a hint of lingering languor.

Lu Yang nodded, about to speak.

A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the cave abode.

The voice was warm and clear, piercing through layers of stone walls and spiritual mist. "Young Master Lu, Qi Yunshu requests an audience."
