Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator
“Body Refinement Techniques?” Donggong Mingyue was surprised, then said speechlessly, “Right, the Peak Master hasn’t given it to you yet.”
Lu Yi was taken aback and asked doubtfully, “Would the Peak Master give it?”
“Of course, to break the Heavenly Dao Limitation, there can’t be a clear weakness, both Spiritual Energy Cultivation and physical strength must be improved simultaneously. So, the Peak Master gave me a Body Refinement Technique,” Donggong Mingyue explained.
Lu Yi’s mouth twitched violently, “…then why didn’t I get one?”
Could it be that the Peak Master dislikes me? Lu Yi began to doubt his life.
Donggong Mingyue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, “Probably, the Peak Master forgot.”
Lu Yi was stunned and somewhat baffled, “Forgot!?”
What kind of excuse is that?
“Yeah, you’ve seen the Peak Master’s temperament, she actually often forgets things,” Donggong Mingyue added.
Thinking of the Peak Master’s appearance, as if a sleepy bug had possessed her, Lu Yi felt that Donggong Mingyue’s explanation made a lot of sense.
He said helplessly, “So what should I do now?”
Donggong Mingyue smiled and said, “No worries, I’ll take you to the Book Storage Pavilion, just pick one there.”
Lu Yi was astonished, “Is that okay?”
He knew that the White Cloud Sect had strict controls on Cultivation Skills; obtaining skills from outside the sect was one thing, but within the sect, they needed to be exchanged for Sect Points which required making certain contributions to the sect, such as pleting tasks. Under other circumstances, it was usually quite difficult to acquire Cultivation Skills.
Lu Yi was somewhat skeptical that he could directly obtain a Body Refining Technique just like that.
Donggong Mingyue waved her hand nonchalantly, “No problem at all, Senior Brother, don’t worry. Didn’t the Peak Master say to find me if there were any problems? As long as I explain the situation after we go, they will definitely give it to you. You are the Peak Master’s Registered Disciple, and the Peak Master’s face still carries weight in our White Cloud Sect,” she reassured.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi nodded, “Alright then.”
This was the fastest way to obtain a technique, and Lu Yi did not refuse.
“Let’s go then!” Donggong Mingyue said with a smile.
The Book Storage Pavilion of the White Cloud Sect was different from the Resource Hall; each peak controlled its own Resource Hall, but there was only one Book Storage Pavilion, located next to the main peak, White Cloud Peak, in the sub-peak area.
Lu Yi and Donggong Mingyue passed through the workshop and quickly arrived at the outer area of the Book Storage Pavilion on the sub-peak of White Cloud Peak.
It was a huge building five stories high, with a sizable plaza outside the building.
Cultivators on their swords were rising and falling in the plaza, entering and exiting the Book Storage Pavilion, making it quite lively.
Most Cultivators strived to plete sect tasks to exchange for the Cultivation Skills they needed to enhance their strength.
Lu Yi and Donggong Mingyue passed through the plaza. Some disciples who recognized Donggong Mingyue were surprised and then greeted her.
As the registered disciple of the Ling Luo Peak Master, Donggong Mingyue’s position within the Inner Sect of White Cloud Sect was quite special.
Lu Yi, being close to Donggong Mingyue, also received several extra glances from many people.
Some recognized Lu Yi and also nodded and smiled at him, while others who did not know much about Lu Yi were somewhat puzzled.
The two entered through the grand doors where an elderly man with gray-white long hair and a skinny appearance was sitting.
The old man seemed no different from an ordinary person in his bearing, but Lu Yi would not really consider him an ordinary person. At such an important place as the Book Storage Pavilion, how could the guardian be an ordinary person?
He was definitely a powerful Elder.
The old man glanced at Donggong Mingyue and Lu Yi as they entered, raised his eyebrows, and greeted with a smile, “Ah, it’s the young Mingyue. What brings you here?”
Donggong Mingyue, far more respectful than when she met Elder Wang earlier, smiled and said, “Greetings, Elder Ming. I’ve brought my junior brother here to select a Body Refining Technique.”
Upon hearing these words, the elder lifted his eyelids and looked at Lu Yi, “Junior brother? Has Ling Luo taken another registered disciple?”
The disciples ing in and out of the main gate were also taken aback, all staring at Lu Yi in amazement, and could not help but whisper among themselves.
“What?! The Ling Luo Peak Master has taken another registered disciple?!”
“Who is this young man?! I’ve never seen him before, and he has caught the eye of Ling Luo Peak Master?!”
“Well, I do know this young man; his name is Lu Yi, and he seems to be the first place in this session’s Outer Sect petition.”
“The first place in the Outer Sect petition? What place is the Outer Sect? How could someone from such a place catch the eye of Ling Luo Peak Master?! How is that possible?”
“Yes, how many geniuses brought back from outside have not been valued by Ling Luo Peak Master, is this young man really from the Outer Sect?”
“I heard it from an elder, they say this young man has extremely high prehension, has mastered all the arts and cultivation techniques of the Outer Sect, and has even prehended sword intent.”
At these words, many disciples fell silent for a moment, then the sound of people gasping in surprise arose.
“He’s only at the Qi Cultivation Realm, right? prehending sword intent in the Qi Cultivation Realm? No wonder…”
“The young people nowadays are really fierce. I reckon it won’t be long before our White Cloud Sect produces another prodigy like Senior Sister Ningshuang on the Young Talents Ranking.”
“This is good news…”
As everyone conversed in low voices, Donggong Ming Yue’s lips curled up in a smile as he said, “Indeed.”
Lu Yi also respectfully greeted Elder Ming, “Disciple Lu Yi, I have met Elder Ming.”
Elder Ming, having heard the nearby conversations, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, examined Lu Yi, nodded slightly, and said warmly, “prehending sword intent at the Qi Cultivation Realm? Indeed remarkable, much stronger than the old man in his youth… No wonder you caught that girl’s eye. e visit more often when you have time, the old man has some insights into sword intent.”
At these words, not only was Lu Yi stunned, but the nearby disciples also fell silent, and then looked at Lu Yi with eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
“Ssss… Geniuses really are different… He just arrived and has already caught the attention of Elder Ming.”
“Damn! Why can’t I be a Sword Dao genius?!”
“Elder Ming is a Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator, they say his sword intent reaches the heavens and is extremely formidable, getting guidance from Elder Ming… This young man is set for a takeoff.”
“…”
Lu Yi, hearing the discussions of his fellow senior brothers and sisters, was also utterly astonished.
So Elder Ming was a big shot who was in the Divinity Transformation Realm and also a sword cultivator?
No wonder these senior brothers and sisters looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to dissect him… It couldn’t be concealed.
It turns out Elder Ming had such a big reputation…
While Lu Yi was astonished, Donggong Ming Yue, ing back to his senses, quickly tugged at Lu Yi’s sleeve and smiled sweetly at Elder Ming, “Elder Ming thinking highly of junior brother is junior brother’s good fortune. He will definitely visit you often.”
Lu Yi also regained his posure and quickly said with a smile, “Lu Yi thanks Elder Ming, and I’ll definitely visit often to seek guidance on the Sword Dao from Elder Ming!”
Elder Ming nodded slightly and said, “Choosing a Qi Cultivation Technique… Since you are that girl’s registered disciple, you indeed may enter, but only this once, choose on the first floor.”
Donggong Ming Yue smiled and said, “Thank you, Elder Ming.”
Lu Yi also smiled and said, “Thank you, Elder Ming.”
“Little Mingyue cannot enter, just stay here and chat with the old man.”
Donggong Ming Yue stuck out her tongue and said, “Go ahead and choose, junior brother.”
Lu Yi nodded, “Hmm.”
Saying this, Lu Yi entered the Book Storage Pavilion, full of anticipation, hoping to find a formidable body refinement technique.
