In the Cultivation Room, Lu Ye poured his Spirit Energy into the saber and controlled the Mountain Coiling Saber.
It wasn't very smooth at first, but he soon grasped some of the key points according to Fourth Senior Brother's teachings. The Mountain Coiling Saber, wrapped in fiery red Spirit Energy, floated up like a toddler.
Before Lu Ye could rejoice, the Spirit Energy wrapped around the saber dissipated and it fell heavily to the ground.
He hurriedly collected his thoughts and continued.
This process was very slow and consumed a lot of Spirit Energy. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the Cultivation Room, Lu Ye wouldn't have been able to persist for long.
In the Cultivation Room, the consumption and increase of Spirit Energy were basically balanced, so Lu Ye could always maintain his Spirit Energy and even have spare energy to open the next Spirit Aperture.
Now, his days were much more fulfilling than before.
In the past, Lu Ye would study the books brought back from Madam Yun when he was not cultivating. He would absorb all kinds of knowledge about spiritual tattoos and then construct spiritual tattoos. Every day, he would find time to go to the Mirage Realm to fight. Now, in addition to these two things, there was one more thing to practice — the art of controlling a weapon.
Not only that, after his cultivation reached the Seventh Order, he could also cultivate the second Spirit Art recorded in the Red Lotus Soaring to the Heavens Secret Art.
The first Spirit Art was the Fire Phoenix Technique, which he cultivated when he was in the Fourth Order. The second was the Fire Dragon Technique …
Perhaps because he was used to constructing Spirit Inscriptions, it wasn't difficult for Lu Ye to learn Spirit Arts. This was also why he was often mistaken for a Spirit Art Cultivator. His casting speed was no worse than a real Spirit Art Cultivator, but there were some differences. A real Spirit Art Cultivator couldn't only master one or two Spirit Arts.
Lu Ye spent less than half a day to display the Fire Dragon Technique, which was much simpler than Artifact Manipulation.
A Seventh Order cultivator's Secret Art was undoubtedly much more powerful than the Fire Phoenix Technique, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Lu Ye found a secluded place in the station to test the power of the Fire Dragon Technique, but after that, he no longer paid any attention to it.
For him, since he had chosen the path of an Armament Cultivator, he naturally had to walk it to the end. He only had a few Spirit Arts, so there was no need to study them too deeply.
His focus now was basically on Artifact Manipulation. After reaching the Seventh Order, how could he fight if he didn't know Artifact Manipulation?
As usual, the mirage realm could be entered once a day. Although it cost 50 merit points each time, the life and death experience accumulated inside could not be exchanged for no amount of merit points.
What made Lu Ye sad and indignant was that after breaking through to the Seventh Order and entering the Mirage Realm, he had to deal with these strange insects again. However, the insects that jumped out of the mist this time were no longer comparable to a Sixth Order cultivator, but were instead comparable to him in strength to a Seventh Order cultivator!
It seemed that the insect monsters he encountered in the Mirage Realm were indeed related to his cultivation.
Combined with his previous experience, Lu Ye would most likely have to kill his way through nine checkpoints in one go before a cultivator would appear from the fog to fight him.
Yang Kai had just broken through to the Seventh-Order and was still in the process of cultivating his Artifact Controlling Technique, so if he wanted to break through nine hurdles in one go, it would be incredibly difficult, so he could only take his time.
Five days later, Lu Yezai really couldn't take it anymore. The main thing was that his progress in Tool Control had been very slow these days.
He wasn't someone who couldn't take a blow, but after seeing Chen Yu's Artifact Controlling Technique yesterday, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Now, the only Seventh-Order cultivator in the station besides him was Chen Yu. Lu Ye naturally wanted to see how others used Artifact Controlling Technique, so he sent a message to Chen Yu asking him to come over and demonstrate. As a result, Chen Yu's Artifact Controlling Technique flew off, turning into a stream of light that shuttled back and forth three hundred meters, as light as a bird.
Chen Yu even thought that his Artifact Controlling Technique was not elegant enough and that he had made a fool of himself in front of Lu Ye.
If Chen Yu's Artifact Controlling Technique was a display of incompetence, then Lu Ye felt like he was being disgraced. He had asked Chen Yu about it, and after breaking through to the Seventh-Order, it had only taken him three days to barely master the Artifact Controlling Technique, while Lu Ye himself …
After returning to the station, Lu Ye went to his Second Senior Sister's place to ask for a meal.
With a depressed mood, how could he resolve his worries? The only thing he could do was eat.
Seemingly noticing something, Shui Yuan picked up some food for Lu Yezai and asked, "Did something happen in the station that made you worried?"
"En," Lu Ye responded vaguely.
"Then what's wrong?" Shui Yuan was puzzled and asked softly.
Lu Ye swallowed the food in his mouth and sighed, "I found that I have no talent in the Artifact Controlling Technique. What others can do in three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to do in a month."
Shui Yuan said, "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has something they are good at. Little Junior Brother, you have such a high talent in the way of spiritual tattoos that even Madam Yun praises you. You can even kill enemies who are at a higher level. However, it is impossible for a person to be good at everything. Don't worry too much." Although there were many more disciples in the Sect now, Shui Yuan still called Lu Ye Little Junior Brother. For her, the words Little Junior Brother had a very special meaning. It was because of this Little Junior Brother that Blue Blood Sect could continue to exist.
"I understand, but I'm still a little unwilling."
"Then … after we finish eating, should I give you some pointers? Although my talent in the Artifact Controlling Technique is not as high as your Fourth Senior Brother's, it's still not bad. "
She was a dignified True Lake Realm cultivator, so how could her Artifact Controlling Technique be bad? The reason why she asked Lu Ye to ask Li Baxian was not because she wanted to be lazy, but because Li Baxian's talent in the Artifact Controlling Technique was really high. When an ordinary cultivator reached the Seventh Order Realm, they would generally use one Spirit Artifact. As their cultivation increased and their control over their Spirit Qi improved, the number of Spirit Artifacts they could use would slowly increase.
But after Li Baxian reached the Seventh Order Realm, he directly used nine Spirit Artifacts. His control over his Spirit Qi had reached an incredible level. This was one of the reasons why the North Profound Sword Sect's Sword Master valued him so much.
Li Baxian's Artifact Controlling Technique, coupled with his identity as a Sword Cultivator, was the reason why he could occupy the tenth place on the Spirit Stream List with his Eighth Order Heaven Grade cultivation. Last time, when Yan Xing fought with him, he was directly beaten by over a hundred sword lights.
After the meal, Shui Yuan accompanied Lu Ye to the square and stood three hundred meters away from him. She smiled and said, "Little Junior Brother, feel free to attack with your Artifact Controlling Technique."
Lu Ye looked around and saw no one, so he took out his Spirit Artifact from his Storage Bag.
Seeing him take out the Mountain Coiling Saber, Shui Yuan frowned slightly and her expression became slightly dignified.
Lu Ye began to pour his Spirit Qi into the saber and said, "Please advise me, Senior Sister."
He wasn't worried about hurting Shui Yuan. Not to mention the huge gap in strength between them, just the distance of three hundred meters … Lu Ye couldn't cross it.
His Spirit Qi climbed onto the saber, and with a thought from Lu Ye, the saber was unsheathed and turned into a fiery red stream of light that rushed towards Shui Yuan.
Shui Yuan's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
The speed of the stream of light wasn't too slow, but it was definitely not fast either. It was much slower than the Artifact Controlling Technique of the people Lu Ye had seen in the Chess Sea. If all Seventh Order cultivators were at this level of Artifact Controlling, they wouldn't be a threat to him at all. Even if dozens of Artifact Controlling Techniques attacked at the same time, he would still be able to easily dodge them.
The stream of light stopped ten meters away from Shui Yuan. In other words, Lu Ye's Artifact Controlling Technique could only cover an area of twenty meters.
He controlled the saber to fly a few times in the air before returning to its scabbard before the Spirit Qi he poured into it was exhausted.
"That's the general idea," Lu Ye scratched his head.
This was the result of his five days of Artifact Controlling Technique.
It was short, and the distance was much worse than others. If he used Artifact Controlling Technique to fight with others, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
It was flat, and its speed was slow, and its lethality wasn't strong.
It was fast, and he could only maintain it for a few breaths of time before he had to take it back. Otherwise, when the Spirit Qi he poured into the saber was exhausted, he wouldn't be able to control it anymore and it might be seized by the enemy.
Shui Yuan walked towards him and stretched out her hand, "Let me see your saber."
Lu Ye pulled out the Mountain Saber and handed it over. Shui Yuan pushed her Spirit Qi, and a soft light enveloped the saber as she inspected it.
After a short while, she said with a strange expression, "Little Junior Brother, have you been using this saber to practice Artifact Controlling Technique?"
"Yes."
Shui Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The seal on this saber isn't suitable for Artifact Controlling, so how could you use it to practice Artifact Controlling? Moreover, this saber is too heavy. Didn't your Fourth Senior Brother tell you to choose a good Spirit Artifact before you practice Artifact Controlling? "
Lu Ye thought for a moment, "No."
Li Baxian taught him many tricks and essentials of Artifact Controlling, but he didn't mention anything about Spirit Artifacts.
Shui Yuan slapped her forehead, "This guy is too irresponsible."
"Is it the saber's problem?" Lu Ye was a little nervous and a little expectant, like a terminally ill person who suddenly heard someone say that he could still be saved.
"It's the saber's problem. This saber doesn't have a seal suitable for Artifact Controlling, and it's not light. That's why your Artifact Controlling is very short and slow. Moreover … Little Junior Brother, you should have seen other Artifact Controlling in the Chess Sea. Didn't you notice that your Artifact Controlling is different from others?"
"I did notice it, but I thought it was my own problem."
Shui Yuan sighed, "You're also amazing. You actually managed to Artifact Controlling with such a saber."
"Then what kind of Spirit Artifact is suitable for Artifact Controlling?"
"It has to be light. Of course, it doesn't mean that lighter is better. If it's too light, it won't have enough destructive power. It depends on your own choice. Secondly, it depends on the seal on the Spirit Artifact. At the very least, there has to be a Spirit Storage Seal. Otherwise, you'll end up like you just now. The Spirit Artifact Controlling will be recalled after a few breaths of time. How can you use it? A Spirit Storage Seal can allow you to store Spirit Qi in the Spirit Artifact. This way, you'll be able to Artifact Controlling for longer. "
Lu Ye let out a long breath, "So that's how it is."
Shui Yuan looked at him apologetically, "In the end, it's our Senior Brother and Senior Sister's negligence." The main reason was that the Blue Blood Sect hadn't accepted anyone for so many years, so Shui Yuan didn't know how to guide others in their cultivation. As for Li Baxian, he was only focused on teaching Lu Ye about Artifact Controlling, so he didn't think about Spirit Artifacts at all. Perhaps he thought that Lu Ye had a Spirit Artifact that was suitable for Artifact Controlling.
She then explained to Lu Ye about the seals suitable for Artifact Controlling.
Lu Ye remembered this in his heart and excitedly rushed towards the Destiny Hall, "I'll go find a suitable Spirit Artifact."
He was excited. My Artifact Controlling Technique, there's still hope!
