Chapter 218 – Defects and Advantages
When Senior Brother Ma said this, he paused for a moment, a look of regret appearing on his face, and then continued, “But unfortunately, after cultivating the deeper layers of this Sword Technique, there is an unbearable flaw. Starting from the fourth layer, when using the Qing Yuan Sword Technique as a technique to exhale the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, a strange phenomenon of dispersal would occur every few days, and the mana that had been refined with this technique in the previous days would inexplicably and miraculously dissipate part of it on its own. This makes one really puzzled!”
”At the fourth level of the sword technique, the rate of loss isn’t terrible, only one tenth of the newly practiced mana will dissipate. With a little bit of hard work, the average cultivator will be able to make up for it! But if one steps into the fifth and sixth layers, then the loss of spiritual energy will become terrifying, and will increase by one tenth of a percent per layer, allowing the loss of the mana painstakingly refined to continue to expand. In other words, a sword skill at the fifth layer would lose two-tenths of its newly refined mana. The sixth layer would lose three-tenths. In this way, how many people would still dare to cultivate the Qing Yuan Sword Technique?”
”Moreover, the highest Qing Yuan Sword Skill cultivated by disciples of this sect used to be the sixth layer. Above the sixth layer, it requires that one must be a JieDan stage cultivator to cultivate it. But seeing as how this technique has already lost nearly a third of its spiritual energy by the sixth layer. These high people, how could they still dare to take this strange risk! In case the seventh layer of the Qing Yuan Sword Technique continued to increase the loss of spiritual energy. Then wouldn’t they, these high people, have been wronged!”
”You have to know that after reaching the JieDan Stage, each layer of the technique is difficult to refine! And this Qing Yuan Sword Technique is even more difficult to refine, letting them spend more than ten years or even decades to take this risk to do this stupid thing. No one would do it! What’s more, this Cyanide Sword Technique is incomplete. It wasn’t an Immortal Technique! Nor is it a big enough motivation for them to perform this risky deed.”
”However, the sword aptitude of this sword skill is indeed very practical, and it would be a shame to give it up just like that. Thus, some people cultivated only the first three layers of the Earthly Cyan Yuan Sword Technique, completely treating it as a successful auxiliary dharma. In this way, there was no need to be afraid of dispersing one’s power, but one could also continue to use the divine ability of the sword aura. Of course, even if the light cultivated the Sword Mantle divine ability, this would still require these disciples to. Spend four or five years individually cultivating this sword skill to be able to do so.”
Han Li listened to the little old man’s long-winded speech and was dumbfounded straight away. When he came back to his senses. He only felt a belly full of bad taste!
No way, he had already cultivated the fourth layer of the sword skill now! According to this, if he wanted to continue cultivating the Qing Yuan Sword Technique in the future, then the mana that was cultivated would be lost by a tenth for no reason. And as the level deepened, the lost mana would increase again!
How else could he cultivate?
However, since the words were so clear! Then he would not be foolish enough to continue cultivating this sword skill, and the cultivation of the Qing Yuan Sword Skill would come to an end.
Han Li’s determination was not long ago, the little old man said the following words, letting Han Li’s heart move again, a little unexpected!
”This Cyan Yuan Sword Skill is so flawed, but it still has its unique features, otherwise, it wouldn’t have become a sect’s town skill back then.” The little old man pursed his lips and suddenly said as if with emotion.
”I have heard people say, this sword skill although cultivation up strange slow incomparable, but this sword skill after each layer of refinement, can play expanding the meridians and spreading the veins, deep dantian’s strange effect, will let cultivate the sword skill cultivator, its mana to be compared to the same level of other cultivators, to be deeper than a few.”
”But exactly how much deeper can it be? It depends on the level of the sword skill cultivated.”
”But according to that senior disciple who had cultivated the Qing Yuan Sword Skill to the sixth layer, he had practiced the sixth layer of the sword skill and was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and he had nearly one-third more mana than the other cultivators. These extra mana were exactly the same proportion of mana loss as the current mana loss from practicing with the Qing Yuan Sword Technique. With such a coincidence, this cannot help but say that this Sword Skill really does have a few mysteries!”
The little old man seemed to have studied this Qing Yuan Sword Technique quite a bit, and the more he said, the more excited he became. Later on, there was even a spitting, hand-waving trend! Let Han Li hurriedly mention something else, hard to the matter of the Qing Yuan Sword Technique over, which only allowed this senior brother Ma to restore some normality.
For Han Li, if this sword skill had any other wonders, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate it. To know that his original qualification is not good, and then deliberately cultivate this strange slow and incomparable defective technique, then unless he simply does not want to end up in the dan, or else his brain is really into the water!
It was those normal techniques, Han Li estimated that if he could find some more spirit dan formulas, perhaps this life to end the dan, it is not without so little possibility!
Next, after chatting with the little old man for a while, Han Li excused himself and left.
Now that he had established his foundation, he naturally couldn’t show the other party the medicinal garden anymore, so he returned to the hut where he originally lived, and after packing up a little, he drifted away.
At this time, the sky was bright, just the right time for him to go to the Council Hall to do his business.
Foundation building has just become Han Li, the excitement in his heart has not yet faded cleanly, and he only wants to get things done, then immediately open up a cave of his own!
In this regard, Han Li can look forward to a long time! After all, after having his own land, what things do not have to be sneaky again, can be openly and honestly in their own place to do anything.
The more Han Li thought, the more excited he became, unconsciously flying to the council hall.
The two young disciples guarding the gate obviously didn’t recognize Han Li, but Han Li’s Foundation Establishment status was obvious to these two. In that case, they naturally didn’t dare to treat Han Li lightly just because he was young!
Therefore, these two stepped forward in unison and immediately bowed and saluted, “This senior uncle, is there anything that you need help with from your juniors?”
”Senior uncle?” Han Li was somewhat amused in his heart when he heard these words. A year ago if he had met these two, he was afraid that he would have had to address the other party as senior brother! Now that his status had risen greatly after establishing his foundation, he had immediately become an elder, which really made Han Li a little less accustomed to it.
However, seeing people around his own age greet and salute him was a really good feeling!
”Is Sect Leader Zhong in? I have something to see!” Han Li said in a grand manner.
The two Qi Refining Stage disciples, upon hearing Han Li’s words, couldn’t help but look at each other before the one on his right hand replied, “The Sect Leader has gone to the Hundred Opportunities Hall on business, but he should be back soon! Why don’t you, senior uncle go to the hall first and wait for a moment?”
Han Li frowned slightly, but immediately returned to normal and said in an indifferent tone, “Fine! In that case, I’ll just wait!”
”Alright! This way please, senior uncle!” The other person was also resourceful enough to take two steps backward before leading the way for Han Li.
Han Li followed this person through the hall and was brought to a slightly larger room. This room was not only cleaned up, but also had some brushstrokes and ink paintings hung on the four walls, revealing a literary and bookish atmosphere.
”Senior uncle first rest here for a moment, as soon as the Sect Leader returns, disciple will immediately report to the Sect Leader!” The youth skillfully made Han Li a pot of fragrant tea before retreating.
Han Li looked at the youth’s retreating figure and nodded, but then shook his head!
The reason he nodded his head first was that he felt that this youth, regardless of his eye color and demeanor, none of them made him greatly satisfied, the slightest flaw could not be picked out, and it appeared that it was only after some specialized training that he was able to have such an outstanding performance!
And he shook his head again because he felt a little sad for these low rank disciples!
An Immortal Cultivator does not properly close the door to cultivate skills, but have to be like a secular mortal servant here on duty to watch the door, to serve tea and water, really sigh of regret ah!
Now think about it, at first, if not with a base-building Dan bought through the leafy old man, I’m afraid that his situation will not be better than this person to where. Just the same, he would have had to bow and scrape, and the humble speech would have been even more unsatisfactory!
Just as Han Li was savoring the fragrant tea inside the house, his mind in a whirlwind of thoughts, Grand Master Zhong returned shortly afterward.
When he heard from the disciple guarding the door that a young Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was looking for him, he couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised. This was because from the description of the disciple guarding the gate, he was unfamiliar with this person and had not found anyone similar from the hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage disciples.
”Twenty-five or twenty-six years old, somewhat dark skin, ordinary looking, who could this be?” With three parts shock and two parts curiosity, Zhong Lingdao hurriedly walked towards the living room where Han Li was.
As soon as he entered the door of the house, he saw a young man of medium stature, wearing the Yellow Maple Valley costume, with his back to him facing a picture of ten thousand flowers on the wall, looking at it with great interest!
However, it was obvious that the commotion of Grand Sect Master Zhong entering the house had made the other party hear him. Therefore, this person immediately turned around and bowed at him, saying, ”Senior Sect Leader! Senior brother Han Li, greetings to the Sect Leader!”
”Han Li?” Upon hearing this name, Sect Master Zhong felt that it sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard of it before! However, after taking a closer look at the other party, he didn’t remember who the other party really was, except for a bit of a face. This made his heart a burst of sweat, his face could not help but show a trace of embarrassment.
”Han …… Han senior brother ah, quickly please sit down, no need to be polite! Senior brother as the Sect Leader, some things are busy, came a moment late, senior brother don’t take offense ah!”
Zhong Ling Dao is also a big storm I don’t know how many old fox, mouth casually vague a few sentences, will not recognize each other’s awkward atmosphere, easily dissolved.
Han Li on this Zhong Sect Leader can not recognize their own things, and did not surprise!
One must know that when Han Li first met this person, it was still five years ago. At that time, he was only a poorly qualified Qi Refining Stage disciple, so the other party naturally wouldn’t take it to heart, let alone have any deep impression of him. If the other party had really recognized him at a glance, Han Li would have been surprised instead!
