Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Chapter 95 The Art of Nourishing Spirit Through Thick Earth

Su Baichen waited with the others from Changchun Palace in that valley for three days. The Yuanmo Cave, having lost such a precious place, showed no reaction whatsoever; in fact, they even began to withdraw their forces.

This is somewhat surprising.

This doesn't align with the Yuanmo Cave's long-standing practice of seeking revenge for every little thing.

Nothing happened after that. Master Kaiyang left Master Xuanding, Master Xuanyin, and their respective disciples to stay in the valley to oversee the affairs of Liang Kingdom, while the others went home.

Su Baichen followed the group of Yangzong disciples toward Changchun Palace.

This was his first time returning to Changchun Palace since joining the Yin Sect.

Returning to a familiar place brings a different kind of feeling.

The disciples of Changchun Palace were also very polite to Su Baichen, or rather, they treated him with great respect.

In the previous battle at "Destroy Dao Valley", Su Baichen's strength was convincing enough.

However, upon arriving at Changchun Palace, Su Baichen was led separately by Master Kaiyang to another pavilion.

"This is the secret treasure of my Changchun Palace. You may enter and choose any cultivation technique you wish."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen paused for a moment and asked, "Palace Master, what should this disciple pay attention to?"

Master Kaiyang laughed and said, "There's nothing to be careful about. It doesn't even matter if you choose something else instead of the Earth Element Technique."

""

Su Baichen looked over in surprise.

Master Kaiyang said, "You chose the Earth Element Technique only to help you control the power of that sword. But I believe that my Chunyang Palace can stand strong even without the power of that sword—so, whatever makes you happy."

Su Baichen was deeply moved.

Master Kaiyang's confidence and magnanimity gave him a lot of confidence.

He clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Palace Master. This disciple understands what to do now."

After saying that, he strode into the secret pavilion.

Upon entering the pavilion, it was pitch black all around, with only the starlight shining brightly overhead.

Su Baichen looked up at the starry sky—only then did he realize with a start: these were not stars at all, but the spiritual light naturally emanating from various divine skills and secret techniques!

The more powerful the secret technique, the stronger the spiritual light it emits, and the color of the spiritual light will vary depending on the different attributes.

The colors associated with the five elements are blue (water), red (fire), green (wood), yellow (earth), and white (metal).

The colors of Yin and Yang are silver for Yin and gold for Yang.

There are also blue-purple lightning, light blue ice, and light green wind.

The sheer number and variety of the treasures stored in this secret pavilion are truly befitting of one of the world's most prestigious sects.

Su Baichen didn't look for other cultivation techniques based on Kaiyang Zhenren's guidance before entering; instead, he went directly to the "yellow sea of ​​stars," locking onto it with his mind—

The next moment, all the stars represented by the Earth Element techniques fell down.

A wisp of spiritual light surrounded Su Baichen. As long as his mind touched it slightly, he could clearly sense the characteristics of the cultivation technique represented by this wisp of spiritual light.

He first looked at the brightest point of spiritual light, where he saw the words "Kun Yuan Zhen Shi Xian Jing" written on it!

What a prestigious title! This is definitely a top-tier Earth Element technique.

Su Baichen couldn't help but examine its features in detail: It absorbs the essence of the earth's galaxies and veins, drawing upon endless mountains, rivers, molten lava from the earth's core, and the primordial earth spirit for its own use; its profound laws suppress all things and all techniques.

He only glanced at it and knew that this thing was not meant for him.

Nothing else, it's just too amazing. It would take countless years to master it.

His cultivation is still based on the "Mysterious Yin Qi Technique". Perhaps he will consider other things when he reaches the level of his master or Master Kaiyang.

So he searched around some more and found a technique called "Mysterious Earth Solidifying the Origin True Explanation".

After carefully reading the description, I realized that this should be the exclusive cultivation method of the Earth Element cultivator of the Five Elements Sect.

This cultivation method can indeed meet Su Baichen's needs, allowing him to solidify his foundation and progress step by step in his cultivation.

The only drawback is that this technique is suitable for hardworking and diligent people. Although one can enter the realm of immortals by following the steps, it is not particularly fast.

Su Baichen is actually quite anxious right now, and this ascetic cultivation method really doesn't suit his personality.

However, this is the most suitable option for now, so he can only write it down as a backup.

He continued his search, but most of the earth-based cultivation techniques were for body refinement and defense. Although each had its own unique uses, there were still too few cultivation techniques specifically targeting the internal organs.

Until he saw an unassuming cultivation technique: "The Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique".

This technique borrows the virtue of the earth to nurture, nourish, and stabilize the primordial spirit. Practicing this technique in famous mountains and rivers can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This technique itself wouldn't have caught Su Baichen's attention, because judging from the simple introduction, it didn't meet his requirements at all.

However, in addition to the description of this technique itself, there is also a commentary left by a predecessor.

The note states: By practicing this divine technique, one can travel to famous mountains to achieve rapid success. Although this technique does not have a method for refining Qi, it is beneficial for refining Qi in the Earth element. Furthermore, one can personally comprehend the virtue of "the earth sustains all things" amidst famous mountains and great rivers. Thus, the derivation of the Five Elements from Earth is a given.

It was this annotation that captivated Su Baichen.

Because this senior made it very clear that the "Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique" doesn't teach how to cultivate Qi, but it's extremely beneficial for refining earth-elemental spiritual energy. Although it doesn't describe the method of "earth generating the five elements," one can completely comprehend it through this technique!

Another point is that Su Baichen intuitively felt that this technique was more suitable for him.

He finally touched the point of light gently—

Then, a series of mnemonic phrases began to form in his mind.

Without any written text or the need for him to memorize or record it, the "Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique" had already been infused into his primordial spirit in some form, leaving a deep impression on him.

Su Baichen was momentarily dazed. He looked at the starry sky and realized that even though he had made his choice, this place was still open to him.

In other words, he actually has more options if he wants to.

Su Baichen chuckled.

The sect treats him with sincerity, so why should he deceive them?

Master Kaiyang was still waiting for him outside. When he saw him come out, he asked, "So, which cultivation method did you choose?"

Su Baichen replied frankly, "This disciple has chosen the 'Spirit Nourishing and Spirit Cultivation Technique of Thick Earth'."

Master Kaiyang was taken aback for a moment, then after careful consideration, he said, "Your comprehension is outstanding, so this may be the best choice—but if you cannot master this method, there is no need to force it. You can come here anytime and we will change it for you."

Su Baichen obediently agreed.

Master Kaiyang then said with some regret, "Actually, the Qi-refining methods of my Yin and Yang sects are the most compatible. If you choose the Yang sect's 'Eternal Spring Pure Yang Qi Technique,' it will be most beneficial to your future cultivation path."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen replied earnestly, "No, Uncle-Master, mastering the Soul-Suppressing Sword can also help stabilize Changchun's foundation."

Master Kaiyang said somewhat displeasedly, "I've already said it, my Changchun Palace doesn't need your money, nor does it need this sword."

Su Baichen replied earnestly, "This disciple understands. I am deeply grateful for the sect's support. Therefore, I also wish to support more fellow disciples for the sect. Please grant my request, Senior Uncle."

Master Kaiyang's expression relaxed.

He gazed at Su Baichen with gentle eyes, his gaze filled with emotion.

Seeing you is like seeing my fellow disciples back then—Shan.

Is there any favoritism in this world without a reason?

There's only agreement.
