Chapter 334: Chapter 230: Cultivation World 20_2
"True Monarch Yunhua is so impressive; Dual Spirit Roots, reaching Nascent Soul Formation at fifty," Li Huaiwei remarked.
Zhu Wen: "If I can achieve Nascent Soul Formation before a hundred years old, I’d already be very happy."
He has Earth and Fire Dual Spiritual Roots, with a decent Spirit Root Value. Currently, at twenty-one, his cultivation has just reached the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.
Tan Jingzhi observed the five people discussing True Monarch Yunhua, but he was not interested in the topic at all. He went straight back to his room to cultivate.
Tan Jingzhi has Three Spirit Roots, selected from the Mortal World to enter the sect, with acceptable Spirit Root Talent.
After entering the sect, he joined as an Outer Disciple.
He diligently cultivated, breaking through Foundation Establishment at twenty-six, and now at thirty, his cultivation has reached the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
After breaking through Foundation Establishment, he passed the sect’s grand competition, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of the Magic Peak, taken as a disciple by Master Si Yun.
This Master Si Yun took on five disciples, and he was the fourth.
Initially, he thought that after taking a master, his cultivation path would be smoother.
However, unexpectedly, this Master Si Yun would actually deduct the disciples’ monthly stipend.
With cultivation resources already scarce, and now being deducted by his own master, Tan Jingzhi, who already had limited cultivation resources, had even less.
And about being deducted by their master, none of their five disciples had anywhere to voice it.
Because their master had them swear a Heart Demon Oath.
Tan Jingzhi undertook the task of measuring Spirit Roots in the Mortal World, partly for the task rewards and partly to visit his hometown.
Since arriving in the Cultivation World, he hadn’t gone back.
When he reached Foundation Establishment, he wanted to visit, but due to taking such a master, Tan Jingzhi had no time to go back.
Always worried about cultivation resources.
Now Tan Jingzhi just wants to cultivate well, and only after his cultivation breaks through can he escape his master’s oppression.
"Brother Tan, True Monarch Yunhua wants to guide our cultivation. You should come and listen," Zhu Wen called out from outside the room.
"Alright." Tan Jingzhi immediately stopped cultivating and followed Zhu Wen to the deck.
Once six people arrived, Si Lingle said: "If you have any questions about cultivation, speak up, let’s discuss."
Zhu Wen: "True Monarch, I am a Sword Cultivator. I want to know how I can comprehend my own Sword Intent."
"Comprehending Sword Intent is a complex and profound process, involving understanding the essence of the sword, personal cultivation of character, and long-term practice and insight."
"I, this True Monarch, comprehended Thunder Sword Intent during Tribulation... Therefore, diligent cultivation and real combat are very important."
"Thank you, True Monarch, for the clarification."
Afterwards, Li Huaiwei and the others also raised their own questions about cultivation.
Listening on the side, Tan Jingzhi did not ask any questions.
After the others finished asking, Tan Jingzhi suddenly said: "True Monarch, how can I obtain more cultivation resources?"
"Then learn the Four Arts. Mastery of one, without saying all, ensures no lack of Spirit Stones in the future," Si Lingle said: "Alchemy and Artifact Refining are more costly. Talisman crafting has lesser investment."
Talisman papers are not as expensive as alchemy and refining materials.
"If you truly wish to learn, you can start with talisman crafting." After Si Lingle finished speaking, he handed his insights on talisman crafting to Tan Jingzhi, "These are my insights on talisman crafting. You can take them to study."
Tan Jingzhi didn’t expect Si Lingle to offer him talisman crafting insights, feeling a bit anxious.
He thought to himself: This True Monarch Yunhua suddenly gives him insights, might they want something from him in the future?
If Si Lingle knew what Tan Jingzhi was thinking, they’d just roll their eyes, probably complaining internally, overthinking it.
Si Lingle looked at the others: "If you have any questions about the Four Arts, you can ask me. I have some accomplishments in the Four Arts."
"Thank you, True Monarch," the few of them quickly thanked him.
After Si Lingle conversed with them, they returned to their rooms.
On the way to the Mortal World, Zhu Wen and the others’ feelings toward Si Lingle went from initial admiration to respect, now deepening into reverence.
Under Si Lingle’s guidance, their spells, swordsmanship, and more have improved.
They couldn’t help but think that if only they had a master like this, their future cultivation path would surely be smooth sailing.
Even Tan Jingzhi, from initial dislike, grew to respect.
His perception of the sect’s High-level Cultivators has changed.
He always thought most High-level Cultivators in the sect were like his master: selfish and self-centered. He had no idea good cultivators like this existed.
