Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye. After the incident at the Sleeping Moon County's Lin Family, the news of Lu Sheng defeating the Fourth Elder of the Moon Shadow Sect by himself didn't spread. Only the news of him defeating the Lin Family spread.
He finally understood what the so-called nodes meant.
"Chi!"
Lu Sheng held the knife with one hand, turned around, and slashed continuously. The knife turned into moons that kept flashing in the air.
Compared to before he moved into this house, the power and speed that he purposely showed were at least ten percent stronger.
The white moons kept flashing and disappearing, one after another, and finally disappeared. The knife returned to its sheath, and Lu Sheng stood where he was with his body slightly bowed. He had finished practicing.
"Nodes … so this is the true representation of the Great Yin's hierarchy." Lu Sheng raised his head and looked at the golden line hanging down from his head.
Normal people couldn't see this golden line at all. Only a monster like him, who could see invisible energy, could clearly see the problem.
"The so-called nodes are the nodes where the Spring Sun Sect's Essence Qi formation gathers. They're the spots with the highest concentration of Essence Qi in the formation. " Lu Sheng sighed in his heart. "This is like using all the Essence Qi of the Spring Sun Sect disciples to feed the disciples at the nodes. The difference between the upper echelons of the nodes and the lower echelons is almost like a chasm. "
Even though he wasn't practicing with the knife, he could still feel the endless Essence Qi pouring down from above his head.
This was the Spirit Formation that Feikong Zi mentioned.
What caught Lu Sheng's attention was that the Essence Qi coming from the golden line was abnormally pure. It was even purer than the Essence Qi he absorbed through visualization. He almost didn't need to filter it, and could absorb it directly.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a ball of white light exploded in the sky above a yard to the side. It seemed to be some kind of firework.
Lu Sheng, who was thinking about something, saw this and quickly pushed open the door, looking at the yard to the side.
The courtyard door on the left slowly opened. Quite a number of instructors and stewards had already arrived.
Everyone whispered and blocked the door, waiting for the owner of the yard to come out.
Soon, the owner walked out slowly. It was a young, gloomy man. Looking at his face, it was Wang Yunlong, who had been with Lu Sheng before?
Lu Sheng could vaguely hear the people around him talking about a breakthrough. At this stage, they were all practicing the Square Origin Cultivation Technique. Since they said that he had a breakthrough, it meant that Wang Yunlong had broken through using this cultivation technique.
"Meridian Opening Body? Interesting. "Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. After a few glances, he returned to the courtyard.
"Deep Blue," he called out the Modifier in a low voice.
His aptitude was probably not as good as Wang Yunlong's Connected Meridian Constitution, but he had the Modifier.
Lu Sheng followed the frame on the Modifier and scrolled down one by one. Soon, he found the frame for the Square Origin Cultivation Skill. This skill had a total of three levels. It was specifically used to refine Essence Qi, integrate it into one's body, and increase one's life force.
In the Great Yin, Life Power was the standard to measure one's physique, regeneration, stamina, spirit, power, and so on.
Life Power and True Qi referred to the body and Inner Qi, respectively.
'In terms of pure True Qi cultivation, my Four Directions Origin Cultivation Skill is almost ready to level up as well. But it's only level two. It can't compare to Wang Yunlong's level three in the Meridian Opening realm.' Lu Sheng calculated. 'I'll use Aquarius Qi to level it up.'
He focused his spirit on the Modify button and pressed it lightly.
"Whoosh."
The Modifier shook and blurred for a moment, then became clear again.
"Square Origin Cultivation Skill … level up to the third level." Lu Sheng focused his spirit on the button behind the frame and pressed it lightly.
The Square Origin Cultivation Skill was the standard basic cultivation method of the Spring Sun Sect. After perfecting this cultivation method, he could truly learn the core system of this place.
The frame blurred again. Lu Sheng closed his eyes and felt the Essence Qi from the golden thread above his head surge even more violently. Vast amounts of Essence Qi flowed into his body, forming an invisible whirlpool in his lower abdomen.
The whirlpool spun faster and faster. Finally, with a poof, a grayish-white air current appeared in the center.
Lu Sheng felt that his body was being nourished and strengthened bit by bit. This strengthening seemed to be happening on a cellular level.
It was very slow and gentle. It didn't directly strengthen the structure of the body like Devil Qi and liquid Qi. Instead, it was like Devil Essence, directly changing the nature of life.
"It's actually …" Lu Sheng was a bit surprised. His body was now at the standard level of a Devil Master. This could be seen from the clash between him and the giant skeletal hand. In terms of body strength alone, he wasn't any weaker than a Devil Master. What he lacked was willpower, the difference between him and other types of energy.
Originally, he only planned to explore the system of the Great Yin and then leave.
But now, the Square Origin Cultivation Skill he had casually cultivated was actually effective on his body. Lu Sheng couldn't help but be shocked.
His physical body had been strengthened to an extremely terrifying degree. If it weren't for the lack of pure Devil Essence in the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, he could have strengthened it even more.
But this level of body could actually be strengthened by a normal Foundation Establishment method that wasn't even at the Bind level.
Although it was very weak, it was still effective.
'This means that the Square Origin Cultivation Skill is a completely different system.' Lu Sheng was pleasantly surprised.
He carefully controlled the energy in his body.
Liquid Qi and Devil Essence slowly separated. Now, there was another True Qi in his body. The Devil Essence was condensed in the center of Lu Sheng's chest, and the liquid Qi was condensed in his heart.
This way, his body was completely freed, and True Qi could control it completely.
His body, which had already been strengthened to the limit by the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, was like an empty kettle that was refilled with True Qi.
This was the terrifying part of Yin Extreme Mode. After it was completely restrained, even Devil Kings and Weapon Masters might not be able to tell what was really going on with Lu Sheng.
Essence Qi flowed in endlessly from the top of Lu Sheng's head, and was converted into True Qi by his Devil Master level body. It continued to nourish his body, and circulated in his blood vessels according to the route of the Square Origin Cultivation Skill.
"Pcchht!"
The Square Origin Cultivation Skill completely broke through to the third level, and then completed a big cycle in his body.
In an instant, a large amount of white steam rose from the top of Lu Sheng's head. The white steam quickly combined with the Essence Qi in the air, turning into a pillar of white smoke that shot into the sky.
"Bam!!"
The pillar of smoke exploded like fireworks.
"He … he broke through here too!!?"
The courtyard was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of exclamations. A large number of air-piercing sounds came toward the courtyard Lu Sheng was in.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the courtyard door, looking at the courtyard to the side. He saw Wang Yunlong walk out of the courtyard door with a shocked expression.
The two of them looked at each other. Neither had any intention of talking to the other.
Wang Yunlong looked away, but a hint of confusion and deep thought flashed through his eyes.
Lu Sheng's lips curled into a smile, and he turned to look at the stewards and instructors who were already flying toward him.
News of the Spring Sun Sect's two geniuses quickly spread throughout the entire Sleeping Moon County overnight.
The two of them were able to complete the basic cultivation of the Square Origin Cultivation Skill in a short month, which was rare even in the entire Spring Sun Sect.
Even more delightful was that there were two of them at once.
Although one of them had Connected Meridian potential, this was normal. But even with Connected Meridian potential, it was still quite impressive to reach this level so quickly.
After some discussion, the Elder Palace decided to send a true disciple to each of Wang Yunlong and Lu Sheng to tutor them one-on-one.
Direct disciples were the core members of the Spring Sun Sect. They were the future Palace Masters, the future Chief Stewards, and even the future Elders.
These people also had talent that was completely different from normal people. They enjoyed the nourishment of the nodes all day long, and their strength reached an indescribable level.
The one who tutored Lu Sheng was the fat Liu Zhicheng, who was blind in one eye.
Considering that Lu Sheng had even injured the Fourth Elder of the Moon Shadow Sect when he was least expecting it. This kind of monstrous strength was enough to threaten a Bind level master without even using True Qi.
Therefore, the higher-ups took Lu Sheng very seriously, believing that he had an extremely powerful bloodline. That was why they sent the Bind level Liu Zhicheng to tutor him alone.
Lu Sheng limited his physical strength to the Bind level, and didn't increase it any further. But even so, Liu Zhicheng was amazed by the horrifying power of his body.
In the process of guiding Lu Sheng, he came up with many strategies to counter Lu Sheng's monstrous strength.
Then, he taught Lu Sheng the real Spring Sun Mind Fixation Mantra, which was the main cultivation technique of the Spring Sun Sect.
Time passed quickly, and Lu Sheng calmed down and started to cultivate seriously. As he expected, the True Qi formed by the new technique was even thicker, and it strengthened his body even more.
He could faintly see that he didn't need more Devil Essence to strengthen his fleshly body. Therefore, he started to cultivate even more seriously.
If it could be said that he had a playful attitude in the beginning, then right now, he was truly treating Qi as a cultivation method that he specialized in.
He was trying to integrate his internal qi, natural qi, and demon qi into one.
Lu Sheng vaguely sensed that something like True Qi was the key factor in the fusion of inner Qi and Devil Qi.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
Lu Sheng had reached the third level of the Spring Sun Mind Fixation Mantra in one go, which was considered to be at the initial stage. There were only six levels to this technique.
Just when he thought that he could continue cultivating like this and wait for the Prime Devil Sect and the others to arrive … Liu Zhicheng brought a message from the Hall of Elders.
"Lu Sheng, the Grand Elder wants to see you." When Liu Zhicheng mentioned the Grand Elder, his face was full of respect and fear.
Lu Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the yard, absorbing Essence Qi. When he heard this, he immediately opened his eyes.
"When?"
"Now."
"Now?" Lu Sheng was silent for a while, and then he slowly stopped cultivating. During this period of time, he had been studying the Genuine Qi Method. At the same time, he had also sorted out and studied the demonic secret method and the internal Qi Method that he had previously mastered. He was in a mysterious state, with countless inspirations and thoughts, like silk threads, slowly stitching the three systems together.
"Understood …" Lu Sheng stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the yard. Feikong Zi was waiting outside.
"Long time no see." When Feikong Zi saw Lu Sheng, his pupils shrank, as if he was shocked.
"Jade-like skin … you … you've actually reached this level!" His tone was mixed with envy, bitterness, disbelief, and other complicated emotions.
"I'm still not as good as you, Senior Apprentice Brother," Lu Sheng said calmly.
"I've cultivated for 18 years, and you've caught up in just a few months … I'm not as good as you," Feikong Zi said bitterly. "Let's go. Be prepared for this trip. We might have to go to the county."
"The Autumn Moon County Capital?" Lu Sheng knew that Sleeping Moon County belonged to the Autumn Moon County, and the county capital was the most prosperous city in the county. There had to be something important going to the Autumn Moon County.
"Yes, to participate in the High Sect Selection. There are three of you. This place is still too small for you. Let's go see the Grand Elder first. "Feikong Zi shook his head, his expression complicated.
Lu Sheng nodded. His eyes flashed. This was his original goal. The Spring Sun Sect was obviously not large enough for a genius like him to grow as fast as he could.
Therefore, it was natural for the higher-ups to make this decision.
