Mu Bao Bao was surprised by Lin Fan’s question, but then she quickly gave a nod and said, “Of course there are. Now that you’re my disciple, you’ll be training in the techniques of our sect.”
Mu Bao Bao turned her attention to the Storage Ring as if she was searching for something in it.
She wasn’t surprised at all that Lin Fan asked about this since the main reason that anyone joined a cultivation sect was for their cultivation techniques. Cultivation sects were the ones that controlled cultivation resources on this continent, so if anyone wanted to become a cultivator, they had to join a sect.
As for those rogue cultivators, they were eventually whittled down and were forced to join a sect or die.
So rather, it would have been strange for Mu Bao Bao if Lin Fan hadn’t asked about these cultivation techniques. It would mean that he had some other motivations in taking her as his master.
But this also made her a bit disappointed for some reason.
She didn’t know what it was, but for some reason, she felt that there was a connection between the two of them. As soon as she met him, she had had a favourable impression of him, which was also part of the reason she had saved him.
Still, she didn’t linger on this disappointment for long as with a wave, she pulled out a book that she gave Lin Fan. She then said with a wide smile, “This is the most powerful cultivation technique of our Love Sect and the one that only the elders and sect masters can learn. As long as you have this technique, you can even ascend and become an immortal one day.”
Lin Fan took the book and looked at its contents, but as soon as he read the first page, he couldn’t help turning to Mu Bao Bao with a shocked look and asking, “Master, have you also cultivated this cultivation technique?”
Mu Bao Bao’s face had a faint blush appear on it as she turned away from his gaze. Only after a period of silence, she said, “I have…” Then she quickly added in a panic, “Of course I’ve only practiced the theories alone and haven’t cultivated this technique with anyone before. My main cultivation technique is another cultivation technique since I haven’t found anyone to cultivate this cultivation technique with.”
Lin Fan looked at her with a doubtful look, but then he gave a nod to show that he believed her.
After all, he could tell that how she acted was the same way that he had been before he had done it for the first time.
As for why he was so shocked when he saw this cultivation technique, that was because this cultivation technique was actually a dual cultivation technique!
It was no wonder the sect had such a strange name, the Love Sect…Even this cultivation technique had a strange name, the Love Technique…
But it also made sense why there would be enemies that would want to destroy the Love Sect.
Even if they were a neutral sect, they were more leaning towards a Demonic Sect because of their strange cultivation techniques.
They had this strange dual cultivation technique and even if they made it a technique that only core members of the sect could use, as well, he could tell that this technique was one that was beneficial to both sides when it was used, it could very easily become a demonic cultivation technique.
With just a few simple tweaks, it could be made that only one side benefitted, even stealing the life force and cultivation of the other side. It would be similar to the Daoist Seed that Xiao Yue had.
So it could be understood why the Love Sect had been destroyed in the end.
Instead of leaving them to potentially become a Demonic Sect, it was better to wipe them out to their roots.
This made Lin Fan realize that the threat of possible enemies was even greater than he had initially thought…
Seeing the look on Lin Fan’s face, Mu Bao Bao could guess what he was thinking and started worrying again. But before she could say anything, Lin Fan quickly said, “Master, it’s better if we don’t let anyone know about this technique. In fact, we should hide the fact that we are a sect completely.”
Mu Bao Bao revealed a complicated look when she heard this and she said, “But rebuilding the sect…”
Lin Fan said, “We will rebuild the sect, but before we can do that, we have to make sure that we won’t attract disasters like before.”
Mu Bao Bao still wasn’t completely convinced, but she still nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan quickly changed the topic by saying, “Master, do you have any other cultivation techniques?”
Mu Bao Bao nodded and said, “I could see that you had fire and ice elemental energy, so I’ll give you these two.” She pulled out two more books after saying this and handed them to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at the titles on the books. True Flame Art and Pure Ice Art, these names sounded very strong. However, when he read them, he could tell that they were nothing more than average techniques, they couldn’t even compare to the Five Elemental Harmony Technique that he was currently cultivating.
Still, these were cultivation techniques that would allow him to control his fire and ice elemental energy, so he wouldn’t reject them.
Lin Fan put the two away and bowed to Mu Bao Bao as he said, “Master, thank you for these two cultivation techniques.”
Mu Bao Bao quickly waved her hand and helped Lin Fan up as she said, “It’s nature, this is what I should do as your master.”
But then she realized that she was touching Lin Fan’s hand and couldn’t help revealing a blush.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this. After all, the Love Sect was a sect that had a dual cultivation technique as their main cultivation technique…Shouldn’t she be used to things like this already?
But whenever he looked at her, he always felt like she was particularly pure and almost naive when it came to things like this…
Still, that wasn’t something for him to judge.
For now, the most important thing was bringing this master of his back and settling her down so she wouldn’t leave. After all, if she were to leave, wouldn’t that mean that he would be losing a powerful bodyguard?
So Lin Fan picked up the corpses of the two foxes and threw them in his Pet Storage Space before proposing to Mu Bao Bao that they head back to his village.
Mu Bao Bao naturally didn’t have any disagreements with this, rather this was what she wanted. She didn’t have anything to her name other than the resources of her sect, but those were all cultivator things. She didn’t have any money, so naturally she didn’t even have a place to sleep if she didn’t go to Lin Fan’s village, let alone being able to buy food.
So the two of them headed back to the nearby village to turn in Lin Fan’s mission first before heading back to Lin Fan’s dungeon town.
Along the way, Lin Fan couldn’t help asking, “Master, what cultivation realm are you in?”
This was something that had been bothering Lin Fan for a while.
He naturally couldn’t see her cultivation realm with his Appraisal Eyes since there was that difference in cultivation. He had already tried that and had suffered the backlash
from doing it.
The other choice that he had to see through her cultivation was by using the status in the system, but when he opened up Mu Bao Bao’s status screen, he found that he wasn’t able to see her cultivation at all. Most of the stats in that status screen were listed as unknown.
It seemed that the system couldn’t do everything…
(System: Please, it’s because the host is too weak that the system doesn’t have the capabilities! If the host was stronger, is there anything the system can’t do!)
So Lin Fan chose to directly ask Mu Bao Bao about her cultivation.
Mu Bao Bao just casually replied, “I’m just a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, so I’m not considered that strong.”
Golden Core, that was a famous term among Earth’s cultivation novels! Almost every novel that had something to do with cultivation always spoke of this Golden Core Realm!
Hearing something that he was familiar with filled Lin Fan with excitement, but at the same time, he couldn’t help being a bit worried.
The Golden Core Realm, it wasn’t considered that high when it came to Earth’s cultivation realms. He didn’t know how cultivation realms were ranked in this world, but he was also certain that it wasn’t that high based on what Mu Bao Bao had just said.
So he couldn’t help asking, “Master, what are the cultivation realms that a cultivator can reach in this world?”
Mu Bao Bao thought about it before saying, “I’ve only heard a bit about that from my master, so I can only tell you what I know.”
Qi Gathering Realm, Foundation Realm, Qi Condensing Realm, Golden Core Realm, Soul Building Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Soul Formation Realm, Rebirth Realm, and Transcendence Realm, those were the realms that a cultivator was required to pass through before they could become an immortal.
As Lin Fan had expected, the Golden Core Realm really wasn’t considered that high.
After telling him about these realms, Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help saying with an awkward look, “The Golden Core Realm is usually the realm that core disciples of the major sects are at…But for our sect, I’m the sect master even though I’m only in the Golden Core Realm…”
