After recording the technique, Lu Wangchuan did not rush to cultivate, because point allocation might trigger some anomalies. This was his biggest secret, and he could not simply display it in front of others.
The two returned to the Law Enforcement Hall, and Lu Wangchuan was assigned beneath a mountain peak. The peak master of this mountain was a woman in her thirties. Because she had practiced martial arts for many years, she looked to be only in her early twenties, but compared to a girl in her early twenties, she lacked a bit of innocence and possessed a few more mature charms.
Lu Wangchuan sensed that her cultivation was at the Celestial Human Realm! It was also the cultivation of the Condensing Truth Realm.
It seemed her aptitude and his master's were both not very good.
An ordinary person who could break through to the Celestial Human Realm before the age of thirty possessed top-tier natural talent and could be called a genius.
She had only just broken through to the Condensing Truth Realm in her thirties not long ago. Because his master had left the Divine Water Sect and gone to the mortal world, and couldn't even break through to the Celestial Human Realm due to the thin spiritual Qi, the aptitude of the two could only be described as medium.
"Junior Brother Wangchuan, this is Martial Aunt Lin Qingxue. She is the peak master of Small Bamboo Peak, and also belongs to the lineage of our Law Enforcement Hall's grandmaster, counting as a second-generation disciple."
Lu Wangchuan immediately cupped his fists in salute.
"Disciple Lu Wangchuan greets Martial Aunt Lin."
Lin Qingxue nodded, supporting him up with an unseen force.
"You are Xian Yuan's disciple? How is Senior Brother Xian Yuan doing?"
"Master is doing well, thank you for your concern, Martial Aunt."
"As long as senior brother is well, that's fine. You are newly arrived, so if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me at any time."
With that, she tossed a storage bag to Lu Wangchuan.
"We meet for the first time, and I have no good gifts to give you. Consider these few spirit stones as a greeting gift."
Lu Wangchuan received them and expressed his thanks. Lin Qingxue gave a few more words of instruction before departing.
Chen Qingquan, standing to the side, had already been swallowing his saliva out of envy for a long time.
"Good fellow, the moment you arrive on your first day, you first receive the grandmaster's two-pill reward, and now you get Martial Aunt's spirit stone reward. It's enough to make people green with envy."
Lu Wangchuan could not help asking with some curiosity:
"Is she on very good terms with my master?"
Spirit stones were not gold or silver; they could assist martial artists in cultivation and were of immense value. Placed in the mortal world, a single low-grade spirit stone would be worth at least several hundred to a thousand liang of silver, no cheaper than those fine pills.
Giving him so many things upon their first meeting, Lu Wangchuan vaguely sensed an unusual relationship between her and his master. Perhaps she was his mistress.
Chen Qingquan explained:
"Martial Aunt Lin was raised by Martial Uncle Lu, and it is said she has always treated him like an elder brother. Since you are Martial Uncle Lu's disciple, naturally she will take care of you a bit."
"So that's how it is."
Lu Wangchuan nodded, feeling a bit more secure about his safety within the Divine Water Sect.
The two arrived halfway up the mountain and cleared out a cave. A sect martial artist's cultivation was different from the mortal world; there was no need to build houses here. The most important thing was to carve out a cave dwelling on the mountain to cultivate, so as to better absorb the heaven and earth spiritual Qi within the mountain body.
At this point, Chen Qingquan's task was finally complete. After Lu Wangchuan thanked him repeatedly, Chen Qingquan left this place to return to his own cave dwelling.
Lu Wangchuan did not waste any time either, plunging straight inside to begin his cultivation.
He first allocated points to the Azure Emperor Longevity Art to test how much stronger a forbidden technique was compared to the ordinary Dao Embryo Breathing Method!
Light screen, allocate points.
Driving his vital Qi to allocate points, the vital Qi within his body immediately began to boil violently, causing Lu Wangchuan's skin to turn somewhat red.
The boiling of vital Qi from this point allocation was fierce as never before. Even the Limitless Sword Dao was child's play compared to it. Truly, it lived up to being a forbidden-tier technique.
Fortunately he had not allocated points in the Library Pavilion, otherwise anomalies would definitely have been discovered.
A moment later, his vital Qi slowly subsided. Lu Wangchuan glanced over and was instantly startled.
The Azure Emperor Longevity Art had actually consumed a full two thousand five hundred points of vital Qi just to advance by a single level!
Before the point allocation he had already possessed over eleven thousand points, and now only a little over eight thousand remained.
However, he tested the Azure Emperor Longevity Art and found that it was still worth it.
When the spiritual Qi within his body circulated for one cycle according to the path of the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual Qi began to spin rapidly, then merged into his body. This speed was already comparable to the ninth-layer Dao Embryo Breathing Method, and even superior to it.
Previously, the Great Perfection realm Dao Embryo Breathing Method, paired with the Body Strengthening Soup, could only increase forty points of vital Qi in a day along with quite a bit of cultivation.
The Azure Emperor Longevity Art could reach this level through its own cultivation alone.
And this was only the first layer. As a forbidden-tier technique, the Azure Emperor Longevity Art had even more tiers. If cultivated to Great Perfection, one could only imagine how much vital Qi and cultivation would be gained each day.
Without hesitation, Lu Wangchuan immediately consumed all his remaining vital Qi on the Azure Emperor Longevity Art.
Soon, when his vital Qi was consumed down to just over a thousand points, the Azure Emperor Longevity Art was also raised to the fourth layer by Lu Wangchuan.
Operating it once more, the vital Qi within his body roared like a python or dragon crossing a river, its imposing momentum striking.
Right now, a single day of his cultivation increased his vital Qi at a speed completely exceeding fifty points!
In the canyon it was only because of the blessing of the Black Scale Python meat that he reached one hundred points. If there was Black Scale Python meat to assist him here, Lu Wangchuan dared to say he could break through one hundred and fifty points in a single day!
Of course, there were not so many "ifs" in the world. Having no background and no resource supply, he could only rely on grinding techniques day and night.
The deeper a nourishing inner technique is, the stronger its inherent healing ability should be. I wonder what the recovery speed of the Azure Emperor Longevity Art is like.
Thinking and doing, Lu Wangchuan immediately took the Godslayer Sword from his storage bag, withdrew the protective Qi on his skin, and slashed a wound deep enough to expose bone across his palm.
Hiss—!
Experts simply had higher willpower, able to endure the pain brought by injuries and suppress it, which did not mean they could not feel pain.
Moreover, the higher a martial artist's level, the stronger their perception of their body, and the more pronounced the feeling of pain.
Without hesitation, Lu Wangchuan immediately urged the Azure Emperor Longevity Art. The next moment, the power within his body began to circulate wildly, and his vital Qi surged toward the wound.
At this moment, an incredible scene actually appeared on Lu Wangchuan's palm.
That wound deep enough to expose bone rapidly stopped bleeding until it was repaired as good as new. The entire process took only a few breaths at most, several times stronger than the Dao Embryo Breathing Method—the Dao Embryo Breathing Method would have taken at least half an hour or more to repair such a wound.
In addition, healing consumed vital Qi, but the Azure Emperor Longevity Art seemed to consume even less vital Qi than the Dao Embryo Breathing Method.
It seemed high-end techniques were more refined; not only were they stronger to use, but they also consumed less.
Lu Wangchuan wiped the bloodstain from his palm, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
With this Divine Water Sect gathering experts where no one dares to trespass, I can just hole up here and cultivate for a year or a half first.
