"Will practicing Brilliant Sword Heart reduce your IQ?"
Although he felt that Wang Wu wasn't speaking without thinking, this matter was indeed a bit strange.
"Then … What if Senior Sister Liu Li is in a fight and her IQ is not enough? Does she carry Brain Platinum with her? "
"…"
"Moreover, Fourth Uncle seems to have a good IQ, he doesn't have a runny nose nor drool. Could it be that his Brilliant Sword Heart cultivation is insufficient?"
To these questions, Wang Wu's explanation was that Brilliant Sword Heart was not a demonic method that damaged the brain, but rather a special refinement of the primordial spirit, which would affect a person's way of thinking. Liu Li was not a natural moron. In fact, if she was asked to calculate, she could easily get the answer to the astronomical number of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. However, cultivating Brilliant Sword Heart made her mind too pure, like a young lady who was ignorant of worldly affairs. Moreover, there was no possibility of improvement. In this past year, all the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect had matured a lot. Only Liu Li was still giggling like a child.
In fact, this was mostly because of Liu Li's nature. Her aptitude in cultivating Brilliant Sword Heart could be called unprecedented, far stronger than her Master Zhou Ming. Although the Fourth Elder also cultivated Brilliant Sword Heart, his early years encounter made his mind never clear and flawless. This admittedly made it impossible for him to cultivate to the highest level of Brilliant Sword Heart. However, at least he didn't have to be a moron, which could be considered as a blessing in disguise.
"As for you, I can see that your mind is full of changes, so you're actually not a good material for cultivating Brilliant Sword Heart. However, if you really want to practice, I can teach you. Perhaps you'll be able to attack and defend at the same time, but you might also become mentally ill. What's your choice?"
Wang Lu thought for a moment. In his heart, he really yearned for the mental state. However, if he could become a crazy, cool, and arrogant mental state, then that's fine. However, if he could become like Liu Li, who wrote her experiential learning report as a food diary … then he'd better not.
Since ancient times, there was an old saying: Only a miser can become a local tyrant.
And Wang Lu was undoubtedly an extremely miser — in terms of IQ. Although in many people's eyes, this guy's brain was already very abnormal, so it didn't matter if his IQ was wasted, but Wang Lu refused to take a step back.
"Alright, if you don't want to learn Brilliant Sword Heart, what do you want to learn?"
Wang Lu replied with understanding, "The improved version of Brilliant Sword Heart, the kind that doesn't deduct IQ."
Wang Wu looked at her disciple deeply. "Disciple, you are so quick-witted. Why don't you finish your apprenticeship?"
"Finished my apprenticeship?"
— —
Tossing aside the idle chatter, the master and disciple quickly got to the main topic.
"Do you have any thoughts about this year? In terms of cultivation. "
Wang Lu thought for a moment. "Non-Phase Method is indeed very cool."
In the past year, he managed his sect to flourish, and in the most critical initial stage, his Non-Phase Method played a pivotal role. Especially in the several battles where he incorporated the Seven Stars Sect, Wang Lu displayed the defensive power of his Non-Phase Method to the extreme, thus creating a miraculous result.
"But it's too inconvenient."
Hearing Wang Lu's complaints, the master smiled instead. "Tell me, what's inconvenient about it?"
"Let's not talk about passively taking a beating. Even from the defensive point of view, it's also very inconvenient to be left with a lone commander."
This was also the conclusion that Wang Lu, as the leader of the Wisdom Sect, had experienced hundreds of battles.
Non-Phase Method's defense was number one. Therefore, on the battlefield, even if he was being concentrated fire, Wang Lu could still protect himself. However, later on, when this problem was discovered, the other side often left Wang Lu to kill his men. No matter how powerful Wang Lu's Non-Phase Method was, it couldn't protect the lives of others. In the expansion war, he had lost a lot of his men.
"Hehe, you're in love."
Wang Lu almost spurted out blood. "You, woman, really have deep cleavage but shallow brain; your brain is in the wrong place! How can you see that I'm in love? "
His Master was a bit surprised. "You're already fifteen years old. A normal teenager at this time should have gone berserk. Could it be that this year, you've taken some kind of medicine with high content of heavy metal and lost your ability?"
Wang Lu slapped the table. "Whether I have the ability or not, you can come and try it yourself!"
"Hehe, you don't even let go of your Master, yet you still say you're not in love."
"... Fine, I'm in love. What are you going to do?"
However, he saw his Master's complexion turned slightly serious. "That's good, it proves that you still have seven emotions and six desires, still have a heart that cares about others, and have not cultivated into a piece of rotten wood and stubborn stone. Nowadays, there are always some fools who think that the Immortal Cultivation World is a long road to walk alone. They cultivate to the point that their humanity has been obliterated, but they still boast that they are unsentimental. Compared to them, I think your millions of ascenders are more interesting. "
Wang Lu smiled. "Master, are you interested in joining the sect?"
His Master ignored him and continued to explain, "Non-Phase Method is the world's number one life-saving method. Not only can it save your own life, it can also save other people's lives. This is also natural. Otherwise, if you pretend to be a tortoise and get beaten to your heart's content, your wife and daughter would be kidnapped and humiliated in front of you, what's the point of living? "
Wang Lu said with a smile, "Being cuckolded is worse than death … So, what does Master want to teach me?"
Wang Wu pointed her finger at the teacup on the table. "Smash it."
Wang Lu's Sword of Mount Kun moved like lightning, fiercely stabbing the teacup. However, the moment the tip of the sword touched the teacup, it was blocked by an invisible force. The recoil force made Wang Lu's right arm issue a terrifying cracking sound. The bones in his arm were actually broken!
And his Master, from the beginning to the end, never left her seat, at least three or four meters away from the teacup.
"What is this?"
Wang Lu withdrew the Sword of Mount Kun with his left hand and, regardless of the serious injury on his right hand, curiously looked at the teacup.
"Innate Non-Phase Sword Qi … Em, I know the name is not good, but if you have the time to think about the name, you might as well improve this method. As you can see, there's nothing special about it. In essence, it's just the release of Non-Phase Sword Qi, extending the defense to the outside of the body. It's somewhat similar to the Three Feet Sword Defense in the Non-Phase Sword Art, but the range is longer. "
Wang Lu frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked, "Master, can you take care of this small space in this room?"
His Master nodded her head and gestured to Wang Lu to try it at will. Wang Lu didn't use the Sword of Mount Kun to test it, but directly took out a handful of Thunderbolt Seeds and scattered them. As a result, these Thunderbolt Seeds were detonated in mid-air. The explosive flame and shock wave were suppressed by the Non-Phase Sword Qi, and after a moment, they were extinguished. From the beginning to the end, his master had been sitting at the table with his legs crossed. There were no signs of him circulating his energy, and he didn't even take out his bamboo sword. He was just sitting there, but his sword aura was able to cover the entire room, forming a seemingly omnipotent domain.
"This is really interesting. Okay, I'll learn this!"
Wang Lu was very satisfied. Then he saw his Master crossed her legs and lightly said, "You want to learn, but unfortunately, you can't."
"…"
"Your foundation is too poor. Sword Qi, Sword Qi, at least you have to have Qi to release. You're now in the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, far from being able to release Sword Qi. You're not even qualified to practice Sword Qi. Therefore, in the next year, you have to seriously practice. At least, push your magical power to the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage."
"Fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage? Okay. "
—
Spring passed and autumn came. Another year passed. In the fourth year since Wang Lu entered the mountain, he finally advanced to the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, opening the door to the next stage of cultivation.
The fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage was in the middle of the nine stages of Qi Cultivating Stage. In itself, it was nothing, nor did it have any special significance. If not for the Lingjian School's special requirement for its disciples to have a solid foundation, many sects that pursued the speed of cultivation would simply let their disciples pass these nine stages in a few years and concentrate on building their foundation.
However, Wang Lu, who cultivated the Non-Phase Method, knew that for him, the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage meant that the framework of the Non-Phase Method has been completed and could be fully spread out.
The Non-Phase Method was different from the others … This feeling was most obvious when he went down the mountain for experiential learning. Because in that year, he came into contact with too many cultivation methods and met too many Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators. And through their situation, Wang Lu was able to find out that he was different. The Non-Phase Method taught by his Master was very special. The first five stages of Qi Cultivating Stage were all about laying the foundation, and the purpose was very clear. If it was described as building a house, then for an ordinary cultivator, the nine stages of Qi Cultivating Stage were nothing more than digging the foundation, preparing the wood, and then building the house. Finally, a big palace was built, which was the cultivator's Jade Mansion, the key to building the foundation in the future. As for the cultivator's spell, heart sutra, and other contents, it was like building a small house inside the palace. The palace was a cultivator's core cultivation method. Within this framework, the cultivator had a certain degree of autonomy. They could build the house bigger or smaller. It was nothing more than the position of the partition wall and the internal decoration.
However, the Non-Phase Method did not have such a high degree of freedom. From the beginning, the internal structure of the palace was fixed … Therefore, his Master's previous claim that he could teach the Brilliant Sword Heart was pure nonsense. The framework of the Non-Phase Method was not compatible with other cultivation methods. The closed system was like a prison. Unfortunately, at present, Wang Lu's attainment in the Immortal Method was still far from being able to break out of the prison.
At the same time, after his cultivation reached the fifth level, Wang Lu was able to see the basic framework of the Non-Phase Method through the Inner Vision Method.
Non-Phase Sword Bone, Non-Phase Immortal Heart, Non-Phase Sword Art, these were the core contents of the Non-Phase Method system, and they also occupied the largest space. In addition, there were several large blank spaces in this framework, which he didn't know what would be stored in the future. As for the Non-Phase Sword Qi that he currently wanted to cultivate, it only occupied a very small space.
That being the case, when Wang Lu was thinking that he would probably be able to cultivate the Non-Phase Sword Qi in one or two months, he received a summons from his Master to go to the Spirit Pool Peak's Pink House.
At that time, Wang Lu was simply flattered. He was only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, there was no heavenly vision nor any new record. Was his Master going to invite him to the Pink House to watch a erotic dance performance?
However, when he arrived at the Spirit Pool Peak's Pink House, he saw his Master mysteriously standing at the door.
"Little Lu, Little Lu, come here."
Little Lu!? Wang Lu felt cold all over his body. He immediately took two steps back and took out his Sword of Mount Kun. "Which evildoer is pretending to be the Fifth Elder!?"
Who knew that as soon as he took a step back, his Master's smile became even more brilliant.
"Silly bird, I knew you were going to take a step back."
The next moment, Wang Lu only felt his vision blurred, as if he had fallen into a long tunnel, and at the entrance of the tunnel was that cheap person's smile.
"I wish you a pleasant trip to the Savage ~"
