Chapter 341: A Surge of Inspiration

Lu Yang had long heard of the reputation of the techniques created by Eldest Senior Sister. These were so significant that the Dao Seeking Sect had specially designated an area in the Scripture Pavilion for them.

Unfortunately, the techniques on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion were too elementary, so he had never had the chance to see them before.

Today, he finally got to witness them.

“I knew it; no matter how talented the disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect are, they can’t casually create techniques of this level,” the Everlasting Fairy suddenly realized. She had initially thought that the geniuses of the Dao Seeking Sect were exaggerated to such an extent that even the “Great Moon Dharma Body Technique” was nearly as advanced as the techniques she had written.

“That’s quite a statement. Eldest Senior Sister is also a disciple of our Dao Seeking Sect,” Lu Yang emphasized.

While the most outstanding Senior Brothers, Dai Bufan and Ji Hongwen, were still trying to catch up to the elders, Eldest Senior Sister of the same generation had already left them far behind.

That’s the difference in talent.

The bookshelf in front of him was filled with an array of techniques, all either modified by Eldest Senior Sister or directly created by her.

“Hehe, what’s the matter? Are you intimidated by the number of techniques Yun Zhi has written?” A hoarse laugh sounded in Lu Yang’s ear.

Lu Yang turned his head and saw a hunched old man standing beside him. The man looked quite ordinary.

“And you are...?”

“Just an old man with some free time, now spending my days watching over the Scripture Pavilion. You can just call me Old Tao.”

Lu Yang wouldn’t dare to actually call him Old Tao. He secretly speculated that this person was either of the elder generation or perhaps even of the grandmaster generation. Considering the special nature of the Scripture Pavilion, the latter seemed more likely.

“Do you have any advice for me, Senior Tao?”

“It’s not so much advice. With Yun Zhi guiding you, what could an old man like me possibly teach you? I just saw you here and it reminded me of Yun Zhi when she was a child.”

“Yun Zhi as a child?” Lu Yang’s interest was piqued, even suppressing his eagerness to study the techniques.

The Everlasting Fairy also jumped up from the bed with excitement, eagerly waiting for Old Tao to tell the story.

“When Yun Zhi was first brought into the sect by your master, she wasn’t very tall, about this high.” Old Tao gestured at his chest, and given his hunched posture and short stature, Yun Zhi would have only reached his chest back then.

“She was silent and cold, whether by nature or because of her time spent living in the secret realm, no one knew.”

“But her expression clearly became more animated after she arrived at the Scripture Pavilion.”

Lu Yang stopped thinking about the outside world and gradually immersed himself in various cultivation techniques—those of Eldest Senior Sister, the sect elders, and even those circulating in the market.

He delved into the mindset of the technique creators, pondering the purpose behind each step. He became utterly absorbed, forgetting everything else.

More than half a month passed in a flash. Lu Yang eventually emerged from his deep study of the techniques, suddenly remembering that he had come to continue writing his own technique.

“Time to start writing!”

Lu Yang scratched the back of his head. He had read so many techniques and felt full of knowledge, confident that he had a bright future in the art of creating cultivation techniques. However, as soon as he picked up the pen to start writing, he realized he didn’t know where to begin.

“I thought I had learned everything while reading the techniques?”

Pushing through the difficulty, Lu Yang began to write, with the Everlasting Fairy watching silently by his side.

Saying anything now would only harm Lu Yang.

After half a day of hard thinking, he finally had an idea and started to continue writing his technique.

“Yes, this is it!”

Inspiration surged, and his pen moved swiftly across the paper, his strokes flowing like dragons and snakes.

The past half-month of studying techniques hadn’t been in vain. He felt he had fully grasped the concepts and was now innovating upon them, with ideas pouring onto the paper continuously.

“Yes, this part should be written like this!”

Now, he only regretted that he couldn’t write fast enough to keep up with the rapid flow of his thoughts.

Two days later, he completed the Golden Core chapter of the “Enlightenment of Heart and Nature Technique.” Afterward, he revised and refined it, making the technique more concise and the wording more precise.

“Mission accomplished!”

He immediately left the Scripture Pavilion and headed to Heaven’s Gate Peak to submit the final draft to Eldest Senior Sister.

Eldest Senior Sister carefully reviewed it, nodded slightly, and praised him:

“Not bad. This time, only eighty percent of the content needs minor revisions from me.”
