First powerful technique

After they finished eating, they returned to the house.

"Yanluo, your master needs to leave to find some gifts for you. Before that, I will transfer power so that you can strengthen yourself."

For less than a second, a fear of being abandoned appeared on the child's face, before it disappeared and a confident look appeared.

"Okay, master."

Lin Huang then walked over and started the cultivation transfer.

[Ding, you have transferred 10 days of Foundation Establishment Cultivation to your disciple.' Mo Yanluo has received 2 days of Cultivation. The disciple is at Qi Condensation level 1, after refining all the Spiritual Energy to the second level of Qi Condensation. Time to refine: 1 day]

[Ding, you have received a 20 times greater reward: 200 days of cultivation.]

Lin Huang then felt his level that had fallen from Foundation Establishment level 1 quickly rise to level 6.

This was the wonder of the complete Taoist physique. While the old Lin Huang had taken almost 2 years to go from level 1 to level 8 and with the help of cultivation stones and poor materials that contaminated the body, he was now able to do the same in just 200 days. An astonishing speed, especially considering that the technique he was using at the moment was of a very low level. And the system based on the level of the technique to level up the days of cultivation.

Mo Yanluo closed his eyes and then began to refine the energy that was given to him.

Lin Huang then left. The first place he decided to go was the three points that the system had identified and that were very close to the city he was in.

[Qi Condensation cultivation technique]

[Bag with 3 first-grade pills]

[Mortal Grade Sword]

He first went to the cultivation technique. Following the map that was in his mind, he first left the city and then walked about 20 minutes into the forest.

He walked to a part where there were very tall trees, when he reached the point where the technique should be, he didn't understand.

'System, where is the treasure? Do I need to dig too?'

'Ding, the technique is above the host, about 30 meters high, attached to the branch of the third tree on the left.'

Understanding where it was, he quickly climbed the tree and then found a small scroll with the title 'Qi Condensation: Rising Tide Technique'.

Reading it, he understood that it was a technique for those who had roots related to water or ice. Cultivating without these roots would not yield even half the results.

But for a poor man like Lin Huang who had nothing. It would be enough.

'System, is there anything valuable nearby?'

'No.'

He then headed towards the second point, which was the Mortal Grade sword.

In Qiankun, the grade of items can be defined as Mortal Grade, Earth Grade, Innate Grade, Heavenly Grade, Emperor Grade, and Immortal Grade. And they are all divided into lower, middle, and upper.

A mortal grade sword was the lowest grade of equipment, but to him it was something valuable. At this moment, if it weren't for the limited opportunities to test a disciple system, he would like to give an ordinary stone to Yanluo to see what result it would yield.

But his goal was simple. He just needed to give it to Yanluo and then hope for a good return.

After the sword, he also took out the bag with 3 first-grade pills. Although they were the lowest possible level, they were still valuable. 

While cultivators were rare, alchemists were even rarer. After all, it was an extremely expensive profession, it was difficult to obtain the materials without having to spend an absurd amount of money.

Because of this, each product made by an alchemist was extremely expensive. Even the defective ones had value. 

The small pill he had in his hands was something that would serve him to take one a day. Each one was as if it were 10 days of cultivation. The inner disciples of the Divine Cloud Sect received these pills monthly to speed up their cultivation.

Finally, after clearing all the points, he prepared to return.

There were a few more that it wouldn't take long for him to get as well. But thinking about Yanluo who was afraid of being abandoned, he put the idea aside.

It was best to return and then return the next day and get it. Besides, he wasn't short of items right now.

When he returned, he asked the system a different question.

Every time he asked, he asked if there was anything valuable nearby, but if something that wasn't valuable at the moment could become something important after multiplying it a few times.

'System, is there anything nearby that would become valuable after being multiplied a few times?'

[Ding, 50 meters away from the host, there is a peach tree. There are only three fruits]

He excitedly went towards the peach tree and then picked them up. Looking at them, he noticed that they were ordinary fruits. Nothing important could be noticed, but if the system said they were special, then somehow they must be.

On the way back, he returned, but to his dismay, the system didn't beep again for things with potential returns. In return, he gained about 3,000 gold that he had lost. Little by little, he was becoming a little rich on a mortal level.

He now needed to plan his next steps. The beast system would be fully activated after the hawk hatched, and the sect system was still not working as he needed a place to open the sect. 

He was thinking about what to do. The state he was in now, Yunzhou, was extremely competitive. The city was now peaceful as it was close to the divine cloud territory, but every now and then a small fish would escape and be left as a test for the disciples. 

But other than that, almost all the territories were dominated by some force, whether small or large. 

Almost all the mountains already belonged to some sect and the ones that were not in control were up for grabs.

There was no place for Lin Huang to set up his sect here, he did not have the strength to fight for a place.

He barely qualified as an outer disciple, much less would he have the strength to fight against more experienced cultivators.

Looking at the disciple, he had an idea.

The last battle that ended up causing the Ancient Demon Sect to suffer heavy damage had a notable consequence.

The battle was so harsh that the veins in their territory were damaged and much of it was destroyed.

The old territory that belonged to them was no longer capable of producing cultivators.

This was a joint measure taken by the righteous path and the demonic path. They wanted to completely cut off the possibility of the Ancient Demon Sect returning.

The result was that after hundreds of years, their territory became a paradise for mortals.

Because the spiritual energy was very low, any cultivator who was there would feel their cultivation regress. Any cultivator who wanted to start cultivating would have to go to another region. Therefore, it was a place of "peace" because the only battles that occurred there were between mortals against mortals and nothing else.

No cultivator would want to jeopardize their own cultivation to stay in that place.

But that was something that would not affect Lin Huang at all.

With the system, even if his cultivation regressed by a single day, he could receive feedback from his disciple and then receive 100, 200, 300, 500 days in one go.

It would also not harm Yanluo since he would be receiving the cultivation transmission.

The biggest difficulty now was whether they would somehow be discovered by someone from the Ancient Demon Sect.

Although they had lost the war, they were not eliminated.

When they were about to die, their Mahayana-level cultivator appeared and made a promise. If his sect was exterminated, he would go crazy and then start assassinating every single one of the major sects' core disciples.

It was taboo for someone of such a high level to attack the weaker ones. Even among the demonic path, they were minimally respectful towards levels.

Inner disciple deals with inner disciple

Elder deals with elder.

The threat of a Mayahana level indiscriminately attacking anyone of low level scared everyone present.

They knew that this cultivator was an expert in concealment and if he used such despicable means, they would be helpless.

In the end, their main objective had been achieved. They had assassinated the former wielder of the Demonic Taoist Physique and had greatly damaged the foundation of the enemy sect.

In the end, they left feeling like the winners.

The losers gathered at the last remaining vein and announced to the world that they would be closing their doors.

And so it was done. They had not been seen in the last few hundred years.

Every now and then someone would show up who had discovered some legacy related to them, but other than that, the sect's top brass had not shown up for quite some time.

But this still worried Lin Huang. The location Yanluo was in and the proximity to the 5-star fortuitous opportunity made him think that things might not be that simple.

Still, he thought it would be better to hide in the abandoned territory.

Since there were very few cultivators, there would be no risk of being attacked. Furthermore, since it was a land full of mortals, he would have a greater chance of finding a good disciple.

After weighing all the negatives and positives, he made up his mind. After the hawk was born, he would leave.

The rest of the day was ordinary. Yanluo continued to refine the energy given to him and Huang continued to look for opportunities in the city.

But apart from the common money, he did not find anything positive.

The next day, he was excited. He could finally give the disciple the technique and he expected a good return.

"Yanluo, come here, master has something to give you."

Yanluo, who was eating some different dishes that Linhuang had bought on the street, went towards the voice.

"I'm here, master."

He looked much better than the first time he was met. He no longer had any wounds on his body, all of which had been healed by the ginseng, and he was wearing new clothes bought by Lin Huang. He looked like an ordinary, well-groomed child. ''''''''''''''''''

Lin Huang called Yanluo over, a confident smile on his face. He was holding the cultivation technique scroll he had found in the forest, the "Rising Tide Technique".

''Yanluo, this is a technique that can help you grow even stronger. I want you to read it and see if you can understand anything about it.'' He handed the scroll to the young man.

Yanluo took the scroll with both hands, his eyes shining with curiosity. He started reading it carefully, but soon frowned.

''Master, this technique seems to be aimed at those with an affinity for water or ice... I don't know if I have that affinity,'' Yanluo said hesitantly.

Lin Huang smiled. He had expected this. The technique wasn't ideal for Yanluo, but he had a plan.

"Don't worry. Just try to understand it for now. Even if it's not perfect for you, it might still be useful in the future."

Lin Huang activated the disciple system and formally offered the technique to Yanluo as a gift.

[Ding! You have bestowed your disciple Mo Yanluo with the Rising Tide Technique and received a 500-fold return reward: Primordial Wave Technique (Nascent Soul Grade).]

Lin Huang's eyes widened upon hearing the system notification. He quickly checked the description of the new technique:

Primordial Wave Technique (Nascent Soul Grade): A powerful cultivation technique aimed at those with an affinity for water. It allows one to manipulate vast amounts of water spiritual energy and form devastating attacks in the form of crushing waves. Ideal for advanced cultivators and highly compatible with water or ice-related bloodlines.

Lin Huang held the new scroll that appeared in his hands and was amazed by the aura emanating from it. It was clearly a technique far superior to the previous one.

"Yanluo, look at this," Lin Huang said, showing the new scroll to the young man.

Yanluo looked at his master with admiration and surprise.

"Master… this is amazing! It's much more powerful than the previous one!" Just the description and name of the technique made Yanluo's eyes shine.

Lin Huang nodded.

"Yes, and it's yours too. But before we use it, we need to check if you have any affinity with water or ice. If you don't, we'll find another technique more suitable for you in the future."

Yanluo smiled shyly and bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, master! I'll do my best not to disappoint you!"

Lin Huang looked at his disciple with pride. He knew that Yanluo had immense potential and was determined to help him reach unimaginable heights on the path of cultivation. With this new technique in hand, he also saw an opportunity to further strengthen his own foundation in the future.

As for Lin Huang, he didn't need to have the scroll in his hands. He noticed that the moment he received the reward, it was instantly imprinted in his mind. He also wanted to test Yanluo's physique. He didn't have a root but had a powerful physique that should be able to cultivate anything. Yanluo carefully opened the scroll and began to study it. Lin Huang watched closely, hoping that his disciple would have a natural affinity with the water or ice elements, which would make the technique extremely effective. 

After a few minutes of reading, Yanluo closed the scroll and looked at Lin Huang with a look of mixed excitement and hesitation. "Master, I managed to understand a bit of the technique, but… I feel like my connection with the water and ice elements isn't as strong as it should be. It seems like my affinity is low."

Lin Huang frowned for a moment but soon smiled. He knew that not everything would be perfect on the path of cultivation, but he also knew that there were always solutions. This disciple had grasped part of a nascent soul technique after just a few minutes of reading. It was terrifying, even Yanluo was unaware of the talent he had, even with his physique not being awakened, his understanding was high.

The heavens would not allow such a physique to also have a strong affinity with all elements.

"Don't worry, Yanluo. Having a low affinity doesn't mean you can't use the technique. It just means that we will need to work harder to strengthen it or find something that complements your natural abilities. Besides, even with a low affinity, you are already ahead of many ordinary cultivators. Study this technique for now, after all, you don't have any. Master will look for one that suits you."

Yanluo nodded, determined.

"I will do my best, master!" Even if it is difficult, I want to become stronger to repay you for everything you have done for me.''

Lin Huang was pleased with his disciple's determination. He knew that Yanluo had a pure heart and an unwavering will, qualities that were essential for a great cultivator.

Lin Huang looked at Yanluo and decided to further strengthen his disciple before they left.

"Yanluo, I will transfer more cultivation to you."

Lin Huang walked over and started the power transfer.

[Ding! You have transmitted 15 days of Foundation Establishment Cultivation to your disciple Mo Yanluo. The disciple has received 5 days of Cultivation. The disciple is at Qi Condensation level 2. After refining all the Spiritual Energy, he will reach Qi Condensation level 3. Refining time: 2 days]

[Ding! You have received a 100 times greater reward: 1,500 days of Cultivation.]

Lin Huang felt a surge of power course through his body. His cultivation rapidly soared, elevating him to the peak of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the Golden Core realm. The feeling was incredible—in just a few seconds, he had progressed further than many cultivators would achieve in years of dedication. Yanluo closed his eyes and began refining the incoming energy. A gentle blue aura emanated from his body as spiritual energy circulated through his meridians. 

Lin Huang watched in satisfaction. With each cultivation transfer, both he and his disciple grew stronger. It was a truly mutually beneficial relationship.
