Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 62 Hearing Waves Near Seas Skill

After listening to Zhenren Xuan Yuan's explanation, Lu Ping thought carefully. His other five Bloodlines were of the wood attribute, wind attribute, or ice attribute. It was not troublesome for him to find a suitable Cultivation Method. However, after he entered the Blood Dissolving stage, his Bloodlines changed, which made him hesitate. His Foundation Bloodline devoured his Turtle Bloodline without leaving any trace of it though his Turtle Bloodline was also of water attribute.

Moreover, Lu Ping had always attached great importance to building a solid foundation and pursued strong magic power. The purity of his cultivation was related to the richness of his magic power. These two things were what he really pursued. If he cultivated in this way, his cultivation would promote difficultly and slowly, but if he could make achievements in alchemy, it was okay that he entered higher stages slowly.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping made up his mind, so he put another ten spiritual stones on the ground and said, "I want the pure Cultivation Method of Water System that could help cultivators reach the Dharma stage."

Seeing that Lu Ping had made his choice, Zhenren Xuan Yuan took him into the Cangjing Pavilion of the Sky Spirit Palace, took out a jade slip, and handed it to Lu Ping, "Hearing Waves Near Seas Skill has been perfected to the middle Dharma stage 4,000 years ago. In the history of our True Spirit Sect, six cultivators cultivated to the Dharma stage with this Cultivation Method, and two of them reached the middle Dharma stage."

Lu Ping copied the jade slip and asked, "Master, can I also copy the other two pure Cultivation Methods of Water System at the Alchemy stage for reference?"

Hearing this, Zhenren Xuan Yuan smiled again. Lu Ping was smart and handed the prepared spiritual stones to him. Zhenren Xuan Yuan waved his hand and handed two jade slips to Lu Ping, "These jade slips only record the Cultivation Methods at the Blood Dissolving stage. After you become the core disciple of our sect, you can come back to get the latter part of them."

After Lu Ping thanked Zhenren Xuan Yuan, the three of them returned to the residence of Zhenren Xuan Yuan. Zhenren Xuan Yuan took out an exquisite storage bag and handed it to Lu Ping, saying, "Take it, this is a reward for you to become an inner disciple. You can come to the Sky Spirit Palace to take the benefits of our sect every year. It's the fruit of your efforts. As long as you make progress, our sect will naturally give you more benefits."

After Lu Ping said "thank you", he scanned the storage bag with his Divine Mentality Coercion and found that there were 20 medium-grade spiritual stones and two bottles of "poria cocos elixirs" used by cultivators at the Blood Dissolving stage in it, which was similar to the "thousand ginseng elixirs" used by Qiao Xipeng.

Their sect had increased the reward after he entered the Blood Dissolving stage. The benefits for an ordinary cultivator at the early stage of Blood Dissolving in a year were only ten medium-grade spiritual stones and a bottle of ordinary cultivation elixirs. Lu Ping had long deeply realized the preciousness of cultivation resources.

From the Blood Refining stage to the Blood Dissolving stage, cultivation and life expectancy would go through a qualitative change from low to high and short to long, but cultivation resources would go through a qualitative change from universal to scarce.

"From now on, you will be the disciple of the third generation of our True Spirit Sect. Well, the name of such disciples should be added with the word 'Zi'. In the future, your religious name will be Lu Ziping. And, you also have the right to build an abode in Sky Spirit Mountain. You can also build an abode outside Sky Spirit Mountain but within the territory of our True Spirit Sect. In that case, you will lose the right to build an abode in Sky Spirit Mountain, and our sect will compensate for that by giving you more benefits."

Lu Ping thought for a moment. He had many secrets that needed to be kept. Anyway, there was a miniature spiritual vein in Sheng Tao's abode on the reef island. Although it was much smaller than the large spiritual vein of Sky Spirit Mountain, it was owned by him alone. Building the abode on it would be as good as building the abode in Sky Spirit Mountain. Therefore, Lu Ping said, "I don't intend to build an abode in Sky Spirit Mountain."

Zhenren Xuan Yuan did not ask why, but directly said, "Oh, so you can get 12 more medium-grade spiritual stones per year." Then he threw 12 spiritual stones directly to Lu Ping.

Then, Zhenren Xuan Yuan picked up the novel on the table and continued to read it, saying casually, "That's all. You can go into Cangjing Pavilion and see if there is anything you need, but don't read through those with prohibitions. By the way, after you build your abode, you should come back to put it on records." After saying that, he ignored Lu Ping and Wu Ziniu.

Lu Ping and Wu Ziniu stayed in Cangjing Pavilion for a while, then got out of the Sky Spirit Palace and walked down the mountain.

On the way, Wu Ziniu couldn't help asking, "Why don't you build an abode on Sky Spirit Mountain? It's very helpful for cultivation."

Lu Ping had expected this question and replied, "There are too many people in Sky Spirit Mountain. I like quietness and slovenliness. I don't want to be restrained, so I want to build my abode outside."

Wu Ziniu asked, "Have you thought about where to build your abode?"

Lu Ping shook his head, "No. Now I'm carrying out the sect mission with Immortal Senior Liu of our team. Even if I build the abode, I still have to stay on Huangli Island for another year. I'll leave that behind for the time being."

Wu Ziniu saw that Lu Ping had already prepared for these questions, so he stopped asking further questions but said, "Then, you should cultivate at ease. When you reach the fourth level of Blood Dissolving and enter the middle stage of Blood Dissolving, you can formally acknowledge someone as your teacher. At that time, with your youth, you can make faster progress in cultivation."

Lu Ping laughed and said, "With your blessing, I'll certainly make it."

The True Spirit Sect attached great importance to cultivating the disciples of the younger generations but also took into account cultivating their independent spirit. Therefore, in the first ten years, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect basically received compulsory education in True Spirit Academy. After becoming third-level disciples, they would carry out travel tasks under the leadership of the Immortal Seniors of their teams.

After entering the Blood Dissolving stage and before entering the middle stage, the fourth level of Blood Dissolving, disciples needed to figure out the ways to cultivate on their own. After they entered the middle stage of Blood Dissolving, they could formally acknowledge others as their teachers and became the core disciples.

In this way, the disciples' spirit of independent exploration could be cultivated, and they would no longer imitate others' styles in the process of cultivation. Every cultivator's way to cultivate was different because everyone got a different situation. Teachers could only guide them, not make decisions for them. Otherwise, such disciples rarely had great achievements. Moreover, even if the disciples made mistakes in cultivation after they entered the middle stage of Blood Dissolving, their teachers would have time to help them correct the mistakes.

After leaving Sky Spirit Mountain, Lu Ping returned to his rented cultivation room. Although he had got the Cultivation Method and learned many matters needing attention of cultivation at the Blood Dissolving stage, after he entered the Blood Dissolving stage, what he learned also became disorganized. He needed time to sort them out and make his recent cultivation plan. A lot of preparatory work needed to be done.

Lu Ping, sat cross-legged on the Spirit-Gathering Futon, carefully trying to comprehend "Hearing Waves Near Seas Skill" in his hand. At the same time, there were several jade slips in front of him. They were the pure Cultivation Methods of Water System of Dragon Bloodline in the Blood Dissolving stage which were the copies Lu Ping got from Cangjing Pavilion for easy reference.

In fact, Lu Ping had another jade slip that even recorded the Cultivation Method at the Alchemy stage. Lu Ping got it from Qiao Xipeng. It was called "Fuyao Jiutian Divine Skill", which was a Cultivation Method for Roc Bloodline of wind and water attribute.

Presumably, because of the influence of the Qiao family in the Xuan Spirit Sect, Qiao Xipeng got this Cultivation Method at the Alchemy stage in advance, which did Lu Ping a favor. Although Lu Ping couldn't cultivate this Cultivation Method directly because he had a different Bloodline, there were similarities between different Cultivation Methods of Water System. This jade slip that recorded the Cultivation Method at the Alchemy stage gave Lu Ping a chance to glimpse the mysteries of the cultivation at the Alchemy stage and enabled him to take fewer detours.
