Chapter 330: True Cultivation Genius (2)

“It doesn’t seem to be a cultivation technique from our sect!”
“No matter what, Shan Wenqi has lost terribly this time. He even gave up Gale Island!”
“The Shan family will definitely not give up Gale Island so easily. This matter is probably not over yet.”
While everyone outside the island was discussing what had happened, Lin Shen had already returned to the Cave Abode.
The battle with Shan Wenqi was just a small interlude for him. Getting Gale Island wasn’t as exciting as verifying the strength of the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome and the Nether Yin Heavy Water.
After calming himself down, Lin Shen summoned the interface.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Pure Yang Body, Innate Spirit Body]
[Stage: Level 2 Spirit Nurturing, 5%]
[Cultivation technique: Supreme Secret Technique (Level 1,18%), Golden Wheel Lightning Tome (Level 1, 27%), Nether Yin Heavy Water (Level 1, 28%)… ]
[Spell: Seven Arts Sword Energy (Perfection Level 7), Lightning Palm (Perfection Level 5)…]
[Number of clones: 7 (53%)]
“The Golden Wheel Lightning Tome and Nether Yin Heavy Water have an extremely obvious increase in combat strength. Next, I have to cultivate these two cultivation techniques to Perfection as soon as possible.
“I have to keep working on the Supreme Secret Technique as well. Although fighting techniques are important, the most important thing is still my cultivation level!”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen quickly came up with a plan.
In the following time, Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt, Genius, and Amaze the World clones would focus on cultivating the Supreme Secret Technique.
Testify by Killing, Innate Spirit Body, and Lin Shen himself would focus on condensing the Nether Yin Heavy Water.
Pure Yang Body and Sword Spirit Self clones would focus on cultivating the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome.
“The eighth clone is halfway through its completion. It’ll be ready in about eight months!”
Lin Shen nodded to himself.
With another clone, his strength and speed of improvement would increase again.
“It’s time to put the collection of flying sword techniques and sword pills on the agenda!”
Sword Spirit Self had to cultivate sword techniques in order to be effective.
At the thought of this, Lin Shen suddenly realized that he had a lot of things to do.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had not been to the Fallen Sword Peak since he became a disciple. It was time to go there. At the same time, he could ask his master about the flying sword technique and the sword pill.
Thinking of this, Lin Shen immediately got up and left Goldstream Isle. He released the Cloud Vessel and boarded the ship to rush to the Fallen Sword Peak.
As for his clones, he put them away for the time being.
When he was on Xuandu Mountain, Lin Shen found an opportunity to test the consumption of his clone’s materialization.
After advancing to a cultivator master, the clone’s moving range had increased significantly.
First, the zero-consumption distance was extended to about five kilometers.
Secondly, his 108 mouthfuls of spiritual essence could let a single clone move freely for an hour within 25 km from him.
When the distance was extended to about 50 kilometers, the duration would be shortened to less than ten minutes.
Even so, the distance and duration had already far exceeded what he had in the past!
Ten minutes was more than enough for a battle!
This meant that even if Lin Shen stayed on Goldstream Isle, he could still control his clones to kill enemies from 50 km away!
More importantly, at this rage, when he broke through to the Mystic Light Stage, he might be able to extend the distance to 500 km.
When he reached the Reverse Elixir Stage, it would no longer be a dream to control his clone to kill enemies thousands of kilometers away!
The idea made Lin Shen very excited.
“It’s a pity that Fallen Sword Peak is more than 150 km away from Goldstream Isle. Otherwise, I would be able to let my clones be cultivated on the island while I’m away.”
Although it was convenient to let the clones cultivate inside him, it wasn’t as efficient as cultivating on the island. After all, there was abundant spiritual essence on the island, so cultivating was twice as fast.
Speaking of which, it was because the Blessed Land was shockingly vast.
According to Xia Mengran, the entire Blessed Land spanned tens of thousands of kilometers and was much wider than Dragonside City.
The mountains and islands were hundreds of kilometers apart. Disciples had to take a flying spirit beast or flying ship to travel.
Even Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters were no exception.
Only Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters could fly 50 kilometers in an instant and travel freely between the various islands and peaks with their own abilities.
The Cloud Vessel was extremely fast and arrived at the Fallen Sword Peak in no time.
Lin Shen alighted from the flying ship. Just as he put away the flying ship, he saw a stream of light rush out of the Fallen Sword Peak and land in front of him.
The light dissipated, revealing Xia Mengran.
“Senior Sister.”
Lin Shen went forward to greet her. He wasn’t surprised by Xia Mengran’s appearance. After all, she had once said that after resigning from the Martial Enforcement Hall, she would cultivate in seclusion on Fallen Sword Peak.
Xia Mengran nodded and then sized up Lin Shen as if she was looking at some rare existence.
“Junior Brother, you gave me a huge surprise.”
Lin Shen immediately understood what she was referring to and was a little surprised. He didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly. It had only been less than half a day.
On second thought, Xia Mengran had probably been paying attention to today’s gambling compet.i.tion. It wasn’t surprising that she received the news immediately.
“I was just lucky,” Lin Shen said with a smile.
Xia Mengran shook her head and didn’t say anything else. She just felt more and more amazed.
She had long known that her junior brother was extremely talented, but she didn’t expect that in just a month, not only had he cultivated the Supreme Secret Technique to Beginner, but he had also mastered two cultivation techniques.
Others might not be able to tell, but Xia Mengran was experienced and knowledgeable. She immediately saw that Lin Shen was using the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome and the Nether Yin Heavy Water.
Either of the two was almost as powerful as the eight divine powers of the sect.
Even if she were the one to cultivate them, she would have to spend months before reaching Beginner, let alone mastering them.
However, Lin Shen had done it in just over a month.
Such apt.i.tude was simply breathtaking!
Ever since Xia Mengran stepped onto the path of cultivation, she had always been called a genius and had received praise and amazement. But today, she finally understood what a true cultivation genius was.
Taking a long look at Lin Shen, Xia Mengran turned around and flew toward the Fallen Sword Peak.
“Let’s go. Master already knows you’re here.”
Lin Shen immediately followed.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the hall in the depths of the Orchid Pavilion.
White lotuses bloomed on the clear water, and Yu Siyu sat cross-legged in an elegant posture.
Her gaze landed on Lin Shen, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. She nodded and said, “Good. You really didn’t disappoint me. You cultivated the Supreme Secret Technique to Beginner in such a short period of time.”
After a pause, she continued, “I prepared a few cultivation techniques to give to you after you convert the Five Elements spiritual essence, but it seems that there’s no need for that now.
“The quality of cultivation techniques is more important than their quant.i.ty. The Nether Yin Heavy Water and the Golden Wheel Lightning Tome are both rare and powerful cultivation techniques. As long as you cultivate them to Perfection, not many people in the same cultivation stage will be your match.” At this moment, Xia Mengran suddenly spoke.
“Master, ordinary cultivation techniques aren’t very helpful to Junior Brother Lin, but the eight divine powers are exceptions!”
Yu Siyu glanced at Xia Mengran and smiled. “You’re quite concerned about your junior brother.”
Xia Mengran said matter-of-factly, “Of course. I only have one junior brother!”
Yu Siyu shook her head and laughed. She then looked at Lin Shen and said unhurriedly,
“Your senior sister is right. The eight divine powers are different from ordinary cultivation techniques. If you can master them, it’ll be very beneficial to your strength.
“However, the sect has a rule. Apart from the Sect Master and the Cultivation Impartation Elder, everyone else can only cultivate two of the eight divine powers at most to avoid diverting too much energy and dragging down their cultivation. What do you think about this?”
Lin Shen pondered.
He had the Supreme Secret Technique and could cultivate any cultivation technique or divine power.
The Innate Spirit Body also had an effect on cultivation techniques and divine powers of all five elements.
Therefore, the element of the cultivation technique didn’t really matter.
It would be best if he could cultivate one cultivation technique of every element so that he could be more flexible in battles.
Five cultivation techniques were a little too much for other cultivators, so it was inevitable that they would divert their attention.
However, with his clones around, it didn’t matter even if he cultivated five cultivation techniques at the same time.
“The Golden Wheel Lightning Tome and the Nether Yin Heavy Water already include the two elements of metal and water. All that’s missing are the three elements of wood, fire, and earth.”
Thinking of this, Lin Shen already had a plan in mind. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something, and his question changed.
“Master, is there a flying sword technique among the eight divine powers?”
