Chapter 760: Chapter 653: Golden Core Middle Stage (2)
Starlight Island is a water-based Spirit Vein.
Yan Country’s Fire Cloud Sect is more suitable for Yang Huofeng’s cultivation.
At the harbor, the sea breeze is slightly salty.
Ming Shen True Master and others board the Spiritual Boat,
Yang Yunfan also stands at the bow, waving to his daughter.
Yang Huofeng lags behind, hesitating in her steps.
She walks up to Shen Xuan, looks up, and her eyes are slightly reddened.
"Island Master Shen, will we meet again in the future?"
Shen Xuan’s gaze is gentle, his tone firm.
"Silly girl, of course, we will."
He smiles faintly, making a promise: "Once you condense the Golden Core and revive the Fire Cloud Sect, I will come to see you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Huofeng’s eyes brighten, and she nods vigorously.
"Island Master Shen, you are a Golden Core True Master, a man of your word. I will certainly cultivate diligently and form my Golden Core soon. You must come to see me."
"I certainly will."
Shen Xuan smiles and nods.
Only then does Yang Huofeng take a deep breath, suddenly turns around, and steps onto the Spiritual Boat with resolute strides.
She stands at the stern, waving vigorously in Shen Xuan’s direction.
The Spiritual Boat slowly rises, transforming into a stream of light, heading toward the vast sky, gradually merging with the distant horizon, eventually disappearing at the water-sky junction.
Shen Xuan stands at the harbor, watching in the direction where the Spiritual Boat disappeared, and only after a long while does he turn back.
...
That day, after the family banquet.
Shen Xuan dismisses Shangguan Yan’Er.
Leaving only Qin Yuehan and Lin Yueying standing by her side.
In the Cave Mansion, the Spiritual Qi is misty.
Shen Xuan’s gaze falls on Lin Yueying, with some emotion.
"Yueying."
Shen Xuan speaks in a calm voice.
"Disciple is here."
Lin Yueying hurriedly bows, feeling somewhat puzzled, not knowing why the master left her alone.
"Over the years, I have been entangled in mundane affairs and have neglected you in your cultivation. Achieving what you have today is not easy."
Shen Xuan slowly says.
This statement is not false.
Lin Yueying, nominally his registered disciple, has actually been taught by Qin Yuehan, who has treated her as her own, imparting everything she knows.
Plus, with the nourishment from the Spiritual Qi of the Cold Ice Cave and the Dao Rhyme of the Purple Yunting Tree, she could establish her foundation at this age.
Unconsciously, this eleven or twelve-year-old girl has been living on Starlight Island for thirty years.
Now, at forty-two, she has established a Middle Grade Dao Foundation.
In the future, there is some hope of breaking through to the Fake Pill.
The later Shi Yulong and Shi Yufeng only received Shen Xuan’s Water Technique Refining inheritance.
Shen Xuan rarely guided the two in their cultivation.
Even if their cultivation paths completely copied Shen Xuan’s.
The cultivation technique was exactly the same as Shen Xuan’s.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueying quickly shakes her head: "Master, you overpraise me; I am blessed with Master’s wife’s meticulous guidance and the island’s abundant resources. It’s already the greatest fortune, and I dare not expect more."
These words come from Lin Yueying’s heart.
The cultivation conditions on Starlight Island are the dream of countless loose cultivators outside.
Shen Xuan nods slightly, a divine thought moves.
In an instant, a Profound Bamboo Sword appears in front of Lin Yueying.
About three feet long, it’s emerald like jade, with bamboo joint patterns faintly on the blade, containing inner spiritual light.
The blade trembles slightly, emitting a clear and melodious hum, innate with a vibrant life force and restrained sharp aura.
"This is your sister’s Lifebound Magical Treasure. Back then, your mother carefully selected it. This Profound Bamboo Sword is already intelligent, an excellent Spiritual Artifact Spirit Embryo."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueying’s eyes twinkle brightly.
Spiritual Artifact Spirit Embryo!
This means that if nurtured well, it could potentially ascend to the level of a Spiritual Artifact.
Lifebound Magical Treasures are closely connected with the cultivator.
The higher its grade, the greater the chance of success when the cultivator strives for the Core Formation Realm.
"Yes, I asked Senior Brother Chong Xu to integrate Thunderstruck Wood into this sword."
A few years ago, Shen Xuan realized Lin Yueying was about to establish her foundation.
Prepared this item for her in advance.
After Lin Yueying established her Dao Foundation, she is about to return to Wo Hu Mountain’s Lin Family to restore her family.
After all, a master-disciple relationship,
Shen Xuan must show some expression.
"Ah!"
This time, it’s not just Lin Yueying.
Even Qin Yuehan is somewhat shocked.
She picks up the Profound Bamboo Sword.
Steadily channels her cultivation technique, infusing it with Wood Spiritual Power, and gently swings it.
"Hiss!"
A verdant sword aura streaks through the air, bursts of azure arcs erupt along the sword, crackling lightly, spreading a fierce and dispelling aura.
"Good sword! It bears the vitality of wood and the killing intent of thunder!"
Qin Yuehan can’t help but praise, then looks at Lin Yueying, reproaching: "Girl, what are you waiting for?"
Lin Yueying finally snaps out of her shock, quickly kneels down, her voice trembling: "Disciple thanks Master for the generous gift!"
With this divine weapon, her strength soars.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cannot easily suppress her.
However, that’s not all.
Shen Xuan takes out a cyan Jade Scroll.
"I haven’t cultivated the Wood Technique."
"However, I have some insights into transforming Water Technique into Thunder. This is my reckoning of the Wood Technique transforming into Thunder. Yueying, take it and comprehend it well."
"If fortunate, you might derive the true meaning of Wood Thunder."
"Master!" Lin Yueying looks up, tears glistening in her eyes.
This time it’s shock beyond words.
Bestowing a magical treasure, imparting Thunder Technique.
Lin Yueying heavily kowtows: "Disciple will not fail Master’s high hopes."
"Stand up."
Shen Xuan flicks his sleeve, a gentle force lifts her up.
"Since you’ve established your foundation, you can soon return to the Lin Family of Wo Hu Mountain and bring honor to your family. In the future, matters of marriage and inheritance are yours to decide; just continue your lineage, no need to report everything."
"Visit your Master’s wife often when you have free time."
Qin Yuehan and Lin Yueying are like mother and daughter, with a deep bond.
Lin Yueying nods vigorously: "Disciple understands. Disciple will often return to the island to visit Master and Master’s wife."
A few days later.
Lin Yueying, amidst reluctant separation, boards a merchant ship returning to Song Country.
