Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Immortal Rank Martial Technique

Because Lian had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Lu Changsheng could bestow upon her more advanced treasures.

Lian’s “Ten Thousand Phenomena Body Refining Skills” was two levels short of perfection, and her “Purple Flame Primordial Art” was one level short of perfection.

Before these two cultivation techniques were perfected, Lu Changsheng had no plans to impart to Lian any higher-level techniques.

A Profound Rank cultivation technique perfected was more powerful than an Earth Rank technique at the beginner’s stage.

Only after perfecting these two sets of Profound Rank cultivation techniques would Lian’s foundation be more robust, making the cultivation of other techniques much more effective.

Lu Changsheng planned to first teach Lian more advanced martial techniques.

Lian’s Profound Rank mid-grade martial technique “Rapid Dragon Break” had already reached perfection.

With her Martial King Divine Physique, learning martial techniques was as easy as flipping her hand.

“Today, your master will transmit to you an Earth Rank lower-grade martial technique—the ‘Primordial Six Harmonies Spear1.”

“With your foundation in the Profound Rank technique ‘Rapid Dragon Break’ and your Martial King Divine Physique, mastering an Earth Rank martial technique will not be difficult.”

“First, memorize the mnemonic verse and moves, then your master will demonstrate for you.”

Lu Changsheng took out an Earth Rank lower-grade martial technique from a book he had exchanged at the Mount Shu Scripture Pavilion to transmit to Lian.

“Good!”

Lian was overjoyed.

Her realm was finally at the level where she could learn Earth Rank martial techniques!

“What is the Six Harmonies?”

“Heart unites with will, will unites with qi, qi unites with strength, shoulder unites with hip, ribs unite with knees, hand unites with foot.”

“For each unity, there’s a set of main spear techniques, one spear technique divides into six, totaling thirty-six spear techniques, plus six burst flare techniques, summing up to forty-two spear techniques.”

Lu Changsheng, holding a Red Tassel Spear, demonstrated the Primordial Six Harmonies Spear techniques for Lian.

Lian sat upright, mesmerized, etching each move into her mind.

“Hoo.”

Lu Changsheng demonstrated the forty-two spear techniques three times, then put away the spear and took a long breath.

It was an Earth Rank martial technique indeed; even with Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, he broke a sweat after earnestly demonstrating each detail.

“Although the disciple cannot yet reproduce every detail, I have remembered them,” said Lian.

Lian took out her Red Fire Spear and performed the Primordial Six Harmonies Spear technique.

[Ding, you have transmitted an Earth Rank lower-grade martial technique “Primordial Six Harmonies Spear” to your disciple “Lian,” and received the disciple teaching tenfold return reward: an Immortal Rank lower-grade martial technique “Emperor’s Six Harmonies Spear.”]

In Lu Changsheng’s Dao Palace Minor Realm, a cultivation technique manual appeared, exuding a thread of Immortal Qi, which nearly caused the collapse of Lu Changsheng’s Dao Palace!

An Immortal Rank martial technique?

It was the first time Lu Changsheng had obtained a martial technique higher than Heaven Rank.

If the Martial Alliance were to learn that Lu Changsheng possessed an Immortal Rank martial technique manual, they would surely visit immediately, trying to negotiate for the manual.

Lu Changsheng attempted to view the content of this Immortal Rank martial technique.

Hum.

Enduring the pressure from that wisp of Immortal Qi, Lu Changsheng barely managed to open the first page. His Divine Sense entered a realm of chaos, where a gigantic figure, mountain-like in stature, appeared, standing between heaven and earth, wielding a long spear, demonstrating martial techniques where each move was natural and never-ending in transformations.

“No, my realm is too low, completely incapable of comprehending its profundity,” Lu Changsheng realized as he withdrew from the conceptual world, his Daoist Robe soaked with sweat.

To someone at the Dao Palace Realm, an Immortal Rank martial technique was like an incomprehensible scripture.

Lu Changsheng might mimic the moves, but the essence and details were beyond his copy.

And that was just the first page.

“An Immortal Rank martial technique, even the Martial Alliance might not possess many; even if they do, it would be a sect-protecting martial technique. Perhaps in the future, it could be used to negotiate with the Martial Alliance,” he thought.

Lu Changsheng realized the value of Heaven Rank Martial Techniques; even if he could not use them himself, he could still teach them to his disciples or trade them.

“Master, the Earth Rank Cultivation Technique consumes too much spiritual energy,” Lian said after executing a complete set of Primordial Six Harmonies Spear Technique, wiping off her sweat.

At the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm, using an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique was quite taxing.

“As your cultivation improves, it will become easier and easier. Next, your master will give you a new treasure,” said Lu Changsheng as he flipped his wrist, revealing a long spear completely red in his hand.

“Thankyou, Master!” Lian excitedly took the long spear, which was a low- grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.

Spirit Treasures, in comparison to Spiritual Artifacts, already possessed a spirit.

Many Mount Shu Elders could unite with their swords; the Flying Swords they used were either Acquired or Innate Spirit Treasures.

[Ding, you have awarded your disciple “Lian” a low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Wrathful Flame Spear” and received a thousandfold return reward for mentoring: a mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Nine Revolutions True Fire Spear.”]

The Nine Revolutions True Fire Spear was of a higher quality than Lu Changsheng’s own Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword.

When a disciple reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the quality of treasures Lu Changsheng awarded clearly reached a higher level.

However, Lu Changsheng was a Sword Cultivator and was accustomed to using Flying Swords; he seldom used a long spear as a treasure.

Among his three disciples, only the eldest, Lin Qingzhi, was truly destined to inherit Lu Changsheng’s mantle. Lin Qingzhi practiced the Taxuan Skills that Lu Changsheng had learned and also used a Flying Sword as his treasure.

When Lin Qingzhi attempts to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, if Lu Changsheng awards him a Flying Sword, the system will likely return a higher- grade Flying Sword.

If it were to return an Immortal Artifact, Lu Changsheng might not even be able to activate it.

Normally, even the six Sect Leaders would not recklessly wander around with Immortal Artifacts; their main weapons in battle would be Innate Spirit Treasures because activating an Immortal Artifact required too much spiritual energy, which was too much for the Sect Leaders to sustain.

To the six great sects, Immortal Artifacts were akin to heirloom treasures.

“Here is a fifth-grade Elixir Pill, ‘Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pill,’ which can treat injuries and restore vitality. Use it when injured,” Lu Changsheng began to award fifth-grade Elixir Pills to his disciple.

[Ding, you have awarded your disciple “Lian” a fifth-grade Elixir Pill “Scarlet Blood Consolidating Essence Pill” and received five-hundredfold return reward for mentoring: a seventh-grade Elixir Pill “Phoenix Blood Revival Pill.”]

[Phoenix Blood Revival Pill: A divine pill refined from a drop of true blood of the legendary divine beast Phoenix, combined with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which can restore vitality, resist cold and yin energies, and has a certain detoxifying effect.]

Giving a fifth-grade Elixir Pill and getting a seventh-grade one in return so easily?

In the past, when Lu Changsheng gifted second- or third-grade Elixir Pills, the returned pills were mostly fourth-grade, fifth-grade, or sixth-grade.

Now, giving fourth- or fifth-grade Elixir Pills, the probability of receiving seventh- or even eighth-grade pills in return naturally increased, and there might even be a chance to receive ninth-grade pills.

The potency of an eighth-grade pill was such that Lu Changsheng himself found it hard to bear; he could not imagine how terrifying the potency of a ninth-grade pill would be.

Having used up the three reward opportunities, he could only wait until tomorrow.

As long as he continued to gift Elixir Pills to Lian, Lu Changsheng could quickly accumulate a pouch full of seventh-grade pills.

These were seventh-grade pills that could make even the six great sects crave.

“Elder Lu, I am Elder Zhang from the Record Keeping Pavilion. The Sect Leader has approved the provision of a cave dwelling for your disciple’s cultivation,” said a Mount Shu Elder who came to visit Qingyun Peak and met Lu Changsheng.

“Oh? Which mountain peak is it?” inquired Lu Changsheng.

“Fire Lotus Peak.”

“Isn’t that a mountain peak in the back mountain?”

“Indeed. Fire Lotus Peak was the cave dwelling of Immortal Green Lotus, the ninth Sect Leader of Mount Shu. It has been vacant for three hundred thousand years. I also do not understand why the Sect Leader would arrange for Fire Lotus Peak to be given to your disciple.”

“Immortal Green Lotus’s Fire Lotus Peak…”

Lu Changsheng had read about the past Sect Leaders of Mount Shu in the sect’s records; Immortal Green Lotus was one of the few female Sect Leaders of Mount Shu, who considered herself an immortal and was already an ancient figure from three hundred thousand years ago.
