Ren Cho was at the middle layers of Core formation and had not advanced in a very long time. But he had a flash of inspiration from the drawings that Luo had drawn and went into secluded cultivation for the day. He could feel the intent of movement , of balance between soft defense and hard defense and the flow of offense in the movements. Although it was more natural with scythes and Ren Cho did not use scythes, but a staff, the profundity of the movement still allowed him to take his own insights and use it for his staff techniques.
He was burning his Qi at an amazing rate. It could be sensed by master Fu Rah and Fu Lin and other masters of the sect, even from afar. Fu Rah rushed into the scene thinking something had happened only to see that Ren Cho was in closed cultivation. She intimated the same to the masters that had followed and ordered them to quietly sit outside in the premises and not make any disturbances.
She inquired about
Ren Cho pushed to peak level of Core formation. But did you expect Fu Rah to leverage runes and zither music to elevate the entire sect? And to think all of that came just from Luo's understanding of the steps he copied from YAMA. A copy of a copy and Ren Cho could see more than what Luo had perceived at the moment, which is why the effect was so profound on him. Stage 1 > Gathering Qi Stage 2 > Qi Condensation Stage 3 > True foundation Stage 4 > Core formation
Fu Rah, followed by Fu Lin and Ren Cho, entered his residence. Master Ren Cho went to get some tea for everyone while Luo, Hua, Xun’er and the others followed and entered the hall as well. Hua and Xun’er were the only ones standing beside Luo, looking back to back at him and then at the others. Cai MingZhu, Hao Qi and the Zhong twins went and stood beside master Fu Lin. Fu Rah had a serious expression but she waited for Ren Cho to pour some tea for everyone. Luo refused the tea, to which master Ren Cho said “Kid, no one is going to punish you or cause you any harm. We just want to know so that we can give you the treatment that can foster your growth and think of handling any unwanted outside interest in your powers.” Luo sighed and took the tea that was served t
Master Fu Rah came to Luo and then asked him “So, what do you want our help with in training? We will help you with whatever you need, no holds barred.” Luo looked at his friends and then at Hua and Xun’er and smiled “Master, I don’t want to be the only one who is favored. These are all my friends and I want to grow alongside them. I don’t want to just be singled out for getting help. I have received help from all of them when needed and would like for nothing more than to grow along with them.” Fu Rah was brought to tears which she held back barely. She nodded and then gave everyone a bear hug at once. “Yes, yes, you are all kids I have had my eyes on. Did you know that our sect does not even have proper core disciples, as not many would join it and all the applicants would just go
After he opened his eyes, Master Yin asked him “What is your answer to my question?” Hua replied “I know that the physique and the techniques of cultivation that Luo practices may be much better than mine, but still, if I doubt my ability to reach a stage in the future in the present moment, then why even cultivate, why even aim to attain the heights of martial dao? What gifts he has gotten, the universe has given him, and it is not unthinkable that I will have fortuitous encounters of my own in the future either, right? That is my answer to your question Master Yin.” “Whoa..that is a very good insight into the way of the Dao or the mindset one needs to pursue it. Good to see that my test did not break your spirit. Worthy of your name ..Geming. And this master has a good reward for you as well. You see I showed Luo a couple of memories so that he can pick up a technique by seeing it, but he picked up the technique of my rival…can you believe it? My useless disciple did not pick up
Although everyone was shocked that Hua had regressed , they understood the logic in his acceptance of it. Fu Rah bid Master Yin a farewell and prepared for an immediate set of instructions for everyone gathered there.“All of you who have reviewed blessings from the great master Yin, you will all have to focus on closed door cultivation, even us teachers have to do it. I want us to be in great shape before we receive any unwelcome guests, of which believe me there are soon going to be plenty.Luo and Hua, I believe it is best for the both of you to temper your cultivation levels by listening to Master Yin and practicing the techniques you have received from the Royal Library. I believe progress there will not be wasted. Both of you are to train in battle tactics with each other's company under Master Yin’s guidance.Everyone else, please go into secluded cultivation and start practicing the techniques the master has given you. The time limit for now is 2 months. At least for me and m
Luo continued his work and he was done with completing the ten thousand runes on each tile of the room by the ninth day itself. He was exhausted but it didn't really show because of the Heaven and Earth Qi he was absorbing. He looked over at Hua who had been alternating between meditating and then practicing the Clap and Thundering slash according to the manual. Now that he had a couple of days till sparring started, Luo sat down to collect and refine his Qi.His soul cultivation had a surprising benefit by him painting thousands of runes. He could see wisps of world formations inside his mind. When he asked master Yin what it was he got the answer “This is the benefit of soul cultivation. As you cultivate your soul, your senses become sharper, you will get resistance against mental cultivation techniques and if you learn those techniques on the Phantasmal spirit crystal you got from the library then it will give you a much better repertoire of techniques.”“Master, what techniques do
“Alright let's go.” Luo said as he got into a soft stance of Iron and wave steps. Hua immediately started with a few probing attacks and started attacking Luo in predictable patterns. “Let’s first get you accustomed to using the short scythes. We can slowly scale up after that.” “Alright. Sounds like a plan” Luo and Hua clashed again and again as Hua broke Luo’s attempts one by one. But Luo used this feedback to remove his faults one by one by trying out new things each time when one attempt failed. He would tweak the attack a little until it could be at least successfully parried. He tweaked all of his attack patterns like this in a slow, persistent spar with Hua. After a week of sparring, Luo got the basics of the schort scythe down. WIth excellent feedback from Hua and his revision of the memory where Yama and master Yin fought, he could improve by leaps and bounds. He had a basic framework down from watching the memory play in his mind again and again. He got to practice these
Luo had made amazing progress with the short scythes and in extending Qi to his weapons. But his most valuable progress was to his soul cultivation because of painting 10000 runes in the room. Now both Luo and Hua, with just a month left to leave from the secluded cultivation, sat down to circulate and refine their Qi. **** With it having been a month and a half since everyone went into secluded cultivation, Pan Hua was guarding the entire sect and taking care of administrative business of the sect without any major incidents happening other than arguments with a few merchants. He had even gotten new trade deals by being more shameless than the sect master usually is. With a couple of weeks left before the sect master and everyone came out, Pan hua got word of summons to open at the sect gate. Pan Hua greeted the messenger and bade him to follow to a guest house. Once inside he offered hospitality for the messenger in the form of tea and some snacks. “Well, what is your name and w
Yin Pengfei opened a portal to the Lower martial realm and stepped through it. He had just woken from a thousand years of self isolated cultivation and wanted to take a stroll through one of the lower realms to refresh himself. He was a playful master and liked to do things that were considered as improper or unorthodox by the other realm lords.He had been walking along the Kaeje river for many days and his gray robes now looked dirty due to exposure to the elements. His robes along with his black eyes and messy black hair that tracked till his shoulders made him look like a disheveled beggar but Yin did not mind such things and kept moving along the river until he reached the outskirts of the town of Xian in Qing province. It was a forested area where a few second tier sects practiced cultivation arts.In these realms cultivation was a means of seeking longevity of life and cultivators aimed to become immortals but ascension to godhood was a rare thing and did

"So have you figured out how to use the Phantasmal spirit crystal yet? I don't think your Qi will be enough to actually use it now, will it? And what do you think the training in store for us will be?" Hua asked Luo. "I haven't figured that out Hua. And as for training, I suppose we'll see in a couple of days. For now, I just want to eat like a pig and sleep." "How about this, how about we spar tomorrow? Huh? Huhh?" "What brought this on? And I don't want to fight you until I have a proper melee weapon. My long range attacks won't work on you and my other techniques are too lethal to be used in sparring." Luo responded. "Ehhhhh~~~. Well alright. We should go on an adventure to get you a named weapon after our training ends. Short scythes huh. Well, we can go ask master Ren Cho about it. He might know more." Hua said. Luo raised his eyebrow and said "Well, who knows how long the training will be for? To master your technique and
