Chapter 340: [266] Snatch your Skill of God, sever your divine path! (Seeking monthly tickets, seeking recommendations)_2
Thinking of this, Pei Jinye felt a surge of fiery ambition in his heart.
He yearned to drastically increase his strength right away.
…
…
Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
Pei Jinye had just finished performing a set of sword techniques.
The Sword Light flashed and disappeared.
Not far away, the Giant Python instinctively shot up to the treetop, eliciting a mocking burst of laughter from the Big Blue Bird as it took flight. Annoyed, the large creature opened its huge gaping mouth, attempting to devour, but the bird easily dodged the attack.
Pei Jinye simply smiled at this and did not intervene.
The Giant Python’s strength had increased rapidly, but the Bluebird was not far behind; naturally agile, it had become even faster now.
Pei Jinye ignored the playful scuffles between the two differently sized creatures, turning his gaze to the attribute panel.
“Sword Thirteen” (Beginner 31%)
The Proficiency steadily rose to 31% before it could go no higher, indicative of the high level of the Technique indeed.
However, in terms of difficulty in adding proficiency, it was akin to “Sword Decides Life or Death” but fell far short in comparison to “Celestial Human Sword Art”.
The proficiency level of the three sword techniques was distinctly displayed on the Skills panel.
“Sword Decides Life or Death”: Beginner 78%;
“Sword Thirteen”: Beginner 31%;
And the time spent cultivating “Celestial Human Sword Art” was considerably longer than “Sword Thirteen”, yet it had barely reached 20%!
That was after fusing with a Sword Immortal Sword Intention.
Admittedly, ever since the fusion with that Sword Intention, the proficiency of “Celestial Human Sword Art” skyrocketed with every use of the sword by Pei Jinye.
This could also be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
The origins of that Female Sword Immortal were extraordinary, and even with Pei Jinye’s psychic network strengthened to this extent, he hadn’t been able to accurately ascertain her identity.
Nobody dared confirm how long she had lived.
But what was certain was that her swordsmanship was no ordinary feat.
Pei Jinye even suspected that the “Celestial Human Sword Art” he “devoured” from the memories of Lord Lotus Island… might well be the legendary Ancient Martial Skills!
The degree of obscurity had surpassed his understanding of techniques.
Back then, he was convinced that the “Twelve Lotuses” taught to him by that member of the Bronze Association was the most difficult mental method to cultivate.
Then he encountered the “Sword Decides Life or Death” imparted by his thrifty Teacher, which was so challenging it bordered on life and death, with painfully slow progress.
It surpassed the difficulty of “Twelve Lotuses”.
But now…
Pei Jinye looked at “Celestial Human Sword Art” with a progress that was rather pitiful, yet he was even more thrilled.
If his current body strength couldn’t facilitate any further convenience in this swordsmanship, it only highlighted its Powerful nature.
One day, if he could cultivate this swordsmanship to the Breaking the Limit level…
Perhaps he, Pei Jinye, would be the one to have the swordsmanship to dominate the Five Continents.
He exhaled softly.
Pei Jinye’s gaze settled on “Twelve Lotuses”.
Proficiency: Great Success 98%!
With three Blood Refinings, the proficiency of “Twelve Lotuses” saw a decrease each time.
As far as he could tell, there was nothing amiss with this Technique.
Having undergone the refining of Vitality three times, it was normal for the “Twelve Lotuses” to fluctuate.
But the fact that the last 1% of proficiency was stubbornly elusive made Pei Jinye wonder if something was off.
“Could it really be because of the “Twelve Lotuses”?”
Pei Jinye frowned.
Initially, the individual from the Bronze Association had taught him the “Twelve Lotuses” with diligence.
Moreover, upon their first contest, that person admitted… no tampering had been done with the mental method.
“But if that’s the case… why could he practice Organ Refining, and I cannot?”
Pei Jinye frowned.
Currently, the Vitality mental method he was practicing was “Twelve Lotuses”, and to abandon it to relearn another would leave only the Giant Stone Secret as an alternative.
However, the path of the Giant Stone Secret clearly differed from “Twelve Lotuses”, and any discerning person would immediately realize Pei Jinye wasn’t of the Psychic Class, which would indeed be difficult for him to explain at that point.
As for cultivating other high-level Vitality techniques, finding the means was another troubling matter.
Under the Shadow.
Pei Jinye pondered for a moment.
Soon after, his entire being vanished from the spot.
…
…
Bronze Association.
“Fang Senior Brother, congratulations,” someone warmly complimented. “I heard Teacher Chang took you aside to guide you in cultivating ‘Twelve Lotuses’.”
The onlookers congratulated him enthusiastically.
To them, practicing at the Bronze Association and getting Teacher Chang’s favor was a rare opportunity.
Not to mention the previous senior brothers.
Of the current batch, the most famous was probably that guy with the last name Pei, a pity he hasn’t been to the association for a long time.
With a faint smile on his face, Fang Tianjian said, “Cultivation relies on talent. Among you, there are still some who have the chance to inherit the ‘Twelve Lotuses.’ Don’t sell yourself short.”
“Thank you for the pointer, Senior Brother Fang.” The crowd gathered around Fang Tianjian as they departed.
Suddenly, Fang Tianjian turned his head to look behind him.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother Fang?” someone asked.
“It’s nothing.” Fang Tianjian felt something but found no trace of anyone and left with the others.
At that moment.
A figure appeared in Teacher Chang’s regular resting room, rummaging around.
He turned out quite a few jars and bottles.
Pei Jinye didn’t care what they were and just packed everything up to take away.
But after searching for a long time, he did not find any information related to ‘Twelve Lotuses’.
“Not here? Impossible.”
…
In the twilight.
Teacher Chang, holding his smoking pipe, walked slowly into his room and suddenly paused.
He stepped forward.
The chest was completely empty.
His eyes narrowed instantly.
He quickly appeared at the doorway.
After a cold glance around, he closed the door again.
He then headed to the backyard.
Following the underground passage, he carefully inspected it until he opened the secret chamber and found everything was intact; only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Under the night sky.
He muttered to himself,
“Could it be… that there is an internal thief in the house?”
…
As Teacher Chang’s figure vanished,
Ten minutes later.
Teacher Chang’s figure reappeared in a shadowy corner of the empty hall.
But apart from the sound of insects, there was no one else in the deserted association.
Teacher Chang narrowed his eyes, “Am I overthinking?”
He turned and left.
Not long after, his figure disappeared.
But twenty minutes later,
His figure appeared again in a certain part of the backyard.
His cold eyes scanned around again.
Finally, with a cold snort, he left in annoyance.
…
Half an hour later,
Only the evening breeze lingered in the association.
The sound of the insects was clear.
Another hour passed, and the night grew denser.
Teacher Chang, yawning, eventually cursed and left for good.
After this, all was calm.
Finally, a figure emerged outside the door of the secret chamber in the backyard, skillfully entering and raiding the place, also cursing under their breath.
“This old thief’s mind is so filthy! Too filthy!”
With a slap of his palm,
the Earth Element surged, and the entire secret chamber was instantly exposed to Pei Jinye’s senses, including a piece of cowhide paper hidden a foot deep in the wall that Pei Jinye also found.
It was emblazoned with bright letters—
‘Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses’!
“This old thief, for sure, gave me the simplified version. Mad, his heart is too filthy!”
