Han Lingyun was grateful to this elder Yi for having disclosed so much about the hidden affairs of the world. Just for this, Han Lingyuns impression of the old man greatly improved.
Senior Yi, can you tell more about the Black Faction Senior that followed the competition?
The old man smirked. He was a fool. A dead fool to be exact. A discarded pawn in the political gas that old fogeys play for fun. He was just sent here to pass on a ssage basically. To prepare for the change in the continents era.
The two stayed in silence for a long ti after this comnt.
Senior Yi, I understand your concerns, but all these events sound so foreign to . I am not even at the late qi condensation level, so politics involving Nascent Soul experts at the very least are hard for to fathom. I dont understand how you wish I help out when it would be a miracle if I reach the Nascent soul realm in less than a century?
Dont worry about it. I dont ask for you to reach the Nascent Soul realm in the next decades. Your job will be to be exceptional enough in your field of formations to be noticed by the main branch of the Black Rainbow Sect. For this, you need to be at the foundation establishnt realm, at the very least. There, at the Black Rainbow Sect, I will be able to help you closely as a master should.
From your side of things, you will be able to get far away from the coming events of the Edera Continent. And although the Black Rainbow Sect is far from being a peaceful place, I will be able to protect you over there. It would be far more suitable for cultivation.
I see. But if the Rainbow faction begins to get hunted down, wont I be taking huge risks by associating with you, Senior Yi.
No one needs to know of our relationship except you and . Dont worry, if things turn south, I wont be the first one to be thrown overboard.
Han Lingyun had been mostly convinced. Senior Yi seed to be genuine and he had divulged a lot of information he didnt need to. Well, if Han Lingyun was going to beco a secret disciple of so sort, he would take full advantage of it.
Senior Yi, with your level, can you provide so advice on my cultivation?
Hehe of course, I was waiting for you to ask, my disciple. Co on, please circulate your qi for .
After only a couple breaths of ti, the old man stopped Han Lingyun to provide his verdict.
Hum, I have just been surprised three tis in a row by your demonstration. But there is indeed an issue. You would have bumped into it at the late qi condensation level anyway.
My understanding is that with your unordinary spirit, you are trying to construct your spirit world with the 5 elents. You are currently at 3 elents: with Water, Wood and Fire. Stop if I am wrong.
Senior has indeed guessed correctly.
Good. There are both advantages and drawbacks to this approach. In fact, regular cultivators would never embark on this path. Who would try to advance ones understanding of 5 completely different concepts, effectively slowing down ones pace of advancent by a factor of 5? Later, on the path of cultivation, what matters is the deepness of ones understanding, not the wideness.
Only us formation array enthusiast see the benefit in comprehending all 5 elents, as this demultiplexes the diversity of runes you can play with. And because most formations are based on the natural runes, masters of the 5 elents have a much greater flexibility than their peers.
However, Im even more amazed by the exotic flavors that all 3 of your elents have, your mind really seems to work differently than for everyone else. And to already be at this juncture I dont know if I should be surprised by your incredible capabilities once again but anyway, thats not the point.
I think that this path suits you well. But I have yet to witness soone remotely close to achieving sothing like this at the qi condensation stage. I, myself was called a genius for having gained a rudint understanding in all 5 elents at the late formation establishnt stage. Because ones understanding naturally deepens with their cultivation, you can gain an incredible advantage at the core formation stage and are far more likely to advance further.
Anyway, your goal should be to complete the cycle before the foundation establishnt stage, am I right disciple Lingyun?
Han Lingyun nodded, thrilled by the praise. That was my idea, I was hoping to use the improvents in my spirit due to cultivation and another spirit condensing pill I received from the SCA competition to add the Earth elent when reaching the late qi condensation realm, and the tal elent at the peak of qi condensation.
Your ideas are excellent, but sadly it would be impossible for the current you. You wont be able to add the 5th elent with your talent.
Thats because you wont be able to absorb enough qi to sustain cycles with a complete spirit world. Ah yes, we call a complete spirit world one that contains the 5 elents; its just a common denomination, having a complete spirit world doesnt an you cannot continue to add ideas and concepts to it.
Anyway, I am going out of topic again. With your 4th grade talent, you wont be able to achieve a complete spirit world before the foundation establishnt stage. You just lack qi input. Only a 5th grade talent could theoretically do it.
Han Lingyun was a bit devastated by the revelation. It was just as if he learned that he was heading in a wall for all this ti.
Dont beat yourself up about this. Cultivation is never a straight and direct path, but its filled with twists and turns. And the extraordinary level of your spirit will always remain.
Plus, dont forget that as your new teacher, I have a solution to your problem. I am as invested in you into wanting to see you achieve a complete spirit while still at the qi condensation level.
Han Lingyun ears perked up.
Im not sure that you will like it though
Han Lingyun kowtowed. Please enlighten Senior Yi. I also understand the concept of having to take a step back to jump further.
Hmm, thats exactly it. The only issue to my thod is that it requires you to lose your cultivation and start again from the first stage of body strengthening.
But listen well, I think it can be beneficial on several levels. In fact, I have noticed that you have another peculiarity, which was my third and final surprise.
This ti its from your spirit root. Your spirit root should be accommodating a grade 5 talent.
It has the shape and characteristic for it. However, one of the branches is obstructed. This is highly uncommon but not unheard off. It was found that a damaged or blocked spirit root can happen for so babies that are birthed in precarious conditions. Those that were initially on the verge of death for their first instants and that miraculously managed to survive.
This made Han Lingyun think about his reincarnation. Perhaps it hadnt gone completely without a hitch.
Seeing the pensive Han Lingyun, the old man continued his little presentation. Well, the how doesnt matter too much anyway. The importance is the solution.
A translucent pill miraculously appeared in Elder Yis hand. This pill is your solution. It will unblock your spirit root to uncover your true 5th grade talent. The only side effect is that you will lose your current cultivation in the process.
He could have been a great salesman. Han Lingyun lampooned. He was also amazed by Elder Yi act of casually taking out this super specific pill that shouldnt be useful for more than one hundred cultivators in the whole continent. Where was he hiding his pill collection?
I thank senior for this imasurable gift.
Elder Yi seed even more elated than Han Lingyun. Good. Im not asking for anything in return. Not now anyway.
Han Lingyun accepted the pill but didnt consu it imdiately. He wanted to discuss about this with Elder Wen first. He had been his real teacher and ntor all along after all.
Once Han Lingyun received the unexpected gift from Elder Yi, the two began a lengthy conversation, which rapidly veered towards array formations. Elder Yi also let Han Lingyun keep the jade. He recomnded to not lose too much ti trying to find a secret hidden in its patterns as he himself wasnt able to encover anything.
Han Lingyun still planned on giving it a try though. Elder Yi had effectively confird there was sothing special with this jade. At the very least, how co only specific individuals with unordinary souls could sense sothing from it?
Tell if there are any other issues disturbing you. Rember you will also be able to contact through my token. Ill send a ssage when I leave the continent.
Han Lingyun hesitated. Ah yes, I had a question bothering . Is there a better cultivation thod than what the White Tiger Sect provided us for the body strengthening stage and the qi condensation stages?
No, for several reasons. Any Nascent Soul cultivator with sufficient brains would be able to confirm that this thod is the complete one. The Black Rainbow sect doesnt have anything better. Finally, the Rainbow faction makes sure it is spread far and wide and not kept secret by the sects with Nascent Soul powerhouses. Because it is at such a low level, it doesnt threaten us anyway. On the other hand, it would be truly regrettable if a promising prospect for the sect suffered from an incomplete cultivation thod.
Things are different at the Core Formation Stage though, and thats also why you need to co to the Black Rainbow Sect if you want to have the best continued cultivation path. Anything else?
Well I think that I am okay for now. Thank you once again for all the answers.
Hmm, very well. By the way, I have been seeing your teacher a couple of tis recently to fulfill my promise to increase his understanding with arrays. He already knows well so I guess talking about isnt out of the question. Its as you wish. If thats all, I will send you back to your sect.
Before Han Lingyun could respond, his vision suddenly turned dark. After long seconds in complete darkness, Han Lingyun found himself in the middle of the 2nd years plaza. He waited for a ti and looked around; the disciples that passed by acted as if Han Lingyun had not just appeared out of thin air. No sect array had been activated as well.
Completely dazed by what just happened, he quickly made his way to Market Road in order to find Elder Wen.
This Elder Yi had just demonstrated his capability to enter the school as he wished. If Han Lingyun still had so doubts, he was now convinced that Elder Yi was at least at the Nascent Soul realm. The thought was a bit frightening but at the sa ti the opportunity was considerable.
