After thinking for a bit, Lin Xuankong asked, "Steward Gu, how long did it take you to cultivate your second Divine Thunder Root?"
Gu Beicheng replied, "The second Divine Thunder Root? It took about five months!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong fell silent.
Comparing five months to the ti of three cups of tea... Should I tell Steward Gu about my cultivation progress to give him a push? Maybe not, I don’t want to overstimulate him. Besides, my cultivation speed is so frighteningly fast that no one would believe it if I told them. It’s better to stay low-key!
Standing by, Gu Beicheng saw his silence and couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned. Senior Brother Lin just visualized the jade and got dizzy... Is he silent now because his cultivation was frustrated? Did hearing that I cultivated two Divine Thunder Roots in five months crush his spirit? This won’t do. Cultivating the Martial Dao heavily relies on one’s state of mind. If the spirit is crushed, how can one successfully cultivate in the future!
He stroked his three long beards, smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you don’t need to care about others’ opinions, nor should you compare yourself to others! Even though you are older and your cultivation speed may be slower, you have an extraordinary Four-Seal Talent. So what if you cultivate the Divine Thunder Root slower than others in the future? You have the chance to cultivate eight or nine roots! In a few years, you could have Eight Thunders Surrounding your body or even Nine Thunders Surrounding Body. So, there’s no need to be anxious, Senior Brother!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but laugh. "Rest assured, I’m not anxious."
At my current pace, in ten days at the earliest or twenty days at the latest, I’ll reach the Initial Glimpse Realm of the Yin Talisman Technique. That’s far faster than that genius Steward Gu’s two and a half years. Why would I be anxious at this speed? If I rush too much, I might hurt myself!
Gu Beicheng was skeptical and looked at him several tis. "Really not anxious? If you are uncomfortable, Senior Brother, just tell !"
Lin Xuankong nodded. "Really not anxious!"
Gu Beicheng frowned. "It’s good if you’re truly not anxious!"
Gu Beicheng, if you keep this up, I’ll tell you my cultivation speed! Lin Xuankong thought, feeling a bit speechless.
Seeing Lin Xuankong showed no sign of distress, Gu Beicheng finally felt at ease. He pointed to the upper left corner of the first jade piece and said, "Senior Brother Lin, actually, visualizing the jade isn’t too difficult. These marks do follow a pattern. You just need to focus your sight here and follow these marks to start visualizing... But rember, do not exceed the ti of three cups of tea!"
After listening to his explanation, Lin Xuankong nodded secretly. What Gu Beicheng explained about these marks aligned with what I had just observed. This Four-Seal Genius is indeed sharing so valuable cultivation insights with .
After Gu Beicheng stopped his explanation, he looked at Lin Xuankong with so puzzlent. "Senior Brother Lin, I saw you were dizzy just now; you must have almost exceeded the ti of three cups of tea! Did Steward Xu, as the Transmission Steward, not remind you that visualizing the jade should not exceed the ti of three cups of tea? The jade contains the mysterious Thunder Power of our ancestor. Exceeding the ti of three cups of tea when visualizing it could severely damage your Heart Spirit. Heart Spirit injuries are harder to heal than external injuries. Even a small mistake could render you unable to cultivate the Yin Talisman Technique for months. You must be cautious in the future!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong recalled Xu Bei’s attitude at that ti. His face darkened slightly, and he thought to himself, At that ti, I didn’t know any of this, and Xu Bei didn’t remind of the potential harm of visualizing the jade! Xu Bei, as the Transmission Steward, should be responsible for passing on techniques and preventing disciples from having problems during cultivation. His behavior... what a sinister heart! If it weren’t for Gu Beicheng’s tily arrival, my Heart Spirit might have been damaged by the Visualization Jade, leaving unable to cultivate for months!
Seeing Lin Xuankong remain silent, Gu Beicheng considered it for a mont and couldn’t help but stroke his three long beards again. "Senior Brother Lin, I will report this matter to Grand Chief Steward Wu Liangye. Steward Xu’s behavior is a dereliction of duty!"
Lin Xuankong thought for a mont and firmly shook his head. "No need, Steward Gu. You will be working under Xu Bei in the future. Why make an enemy of him for my sake? Since you have reminded , I’ll be more careful next ti when visualizing the jade. By the way, did you co here for sothing else, Steward Gu?"
I, Lin Xuankong, am no longer the old weakling that anyone can manipulate! The issue with Xu Bei doesn’t need soone else’s help. I’ll keep this account in mind and settle it myself!
Seeing his determination, Gu Beicheng sighed deeply. "If the Sect had more magnanimous figures like Steward Ma Jiang and Steward Lin, how could we not thrive? But alas... Sigh, apart from matters of cultivation, I ca to find you for another important matter today. The Demon-Suppressing Valley, located on the outskirts of the Boundaryless Mountain and controlled by the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, will open in two months. This will require disciples from various cities and sects to participate in the Demon Slaying Conference. Our Yin Talisman Sect has selected its participating disciples, and Senior Brother, you are among them!"
Lin Xuankong was slightly puzzled. "Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect? Demon Slaying Conference?"
Gu Beicheng explained, "It seems Senior Brother has been so focused on cultivation that you are unaware of the sect powers in the Great Xia Dynasty! The Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect is the National Guardian Divine Sect of the Great Xia Dynasty. Though the Sect consists entirely of won, in terms of the number of top Martial Artists and the profoundness of their techniques, it surpasses countless sects in Great Xia! The Demon-Suppressing Valley in the Great Marsh Prefecture is managed by Elder Hua of the Celestial Sect. It features a Grand Array spanning hundreds of miles. The demons confined within, even in high numbers, cannot escape and can only advance up to Tier Three."
