Chapter 380: Chapter 238 Outer Heaven Spirit Iron_2 "Just because you’re not one of the Twelve Base Array Mages, you are still a powerful cultivator in the Longevity Realm, which makes you a rare talent of dual cultivation in arrays and martial arts in the entire Longevity Realm." Elder Manor Master said with a light smile: "Moreover, Daoist Qian Yuan is from a Loose Cultivator background, which is even more extraordinary." "Elder Manor Master is too kind, I am well aware of my own capabilities. The Longevity Realm is full of exceptional people, and my talents are not worth mentioning compared to theirs." Li Qian shook his head. "Daoist Qian Yuan is too modest." The Elder Manor Master said: "I have an impolite request, and I hope Daoist Qian Yuan can fulfill it." "If it’s within my power, I would naturally wish to relieve Elder Manor Master of any concerns." Li Qian felt a thump in his heart, it seemed the Elder Manor Master indeed had something to request. However, having been the Guest Elder of Heavenly Sword Manor for over fifty years, receiving quite a few resources, and having comprehended a trace of Sword Dao Rhythm from the Heavenly Sword Stele, it was only right for him to help the Heavenly Sword Manor. After all, he wasn’t the type of person who only takes advantage without contributing. "May I ask how many years have you cultivated till now, Daoist Qian Yuan?" The Elder Manor Master asked. "This..." Li Qian was slightly taken aback. Why ask this? But the time spent in cultivation isn’t really a big deal; at most, it reveals one’s innate talent and cultivation aptitude. And it also relates to the issue of resources. "Elder Manor Master, I have been cultivating for roughly 240 years." Li Qian thought about it and then replied. In fact, he rarely counts how many years he has been cultivating. However, he had a system interface; he could just calculate based on the refinement time of the Chen Bell. He also felt a bit emotional inside, realizing that he had been in this world for over two hundred years inadvertently. That’s more than two hundred years. In his previous life, that was the rise and fall of a dynasty. During these two hundred years, the Peak Master Elders of the Divine Sword Sect of the same generation as his master have all passed away. Elder Qing Song, the old Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, and others... all passed away in these decades. After all, they had not made a breakthrough to the Heavenly Phenomenon Level... And the lifespan of a Heavenly Person is at most three hundred years. "Just over 240 years?" The Elder Manor Master was stunned after hearing this. Even with her talent, in the Heavenly Spring Gobi, she was considered a genius... but it still took her nearly four hundred years to step into the Longevity Secret Realm. Her descendant Lin Qingping... with talent no less than hers and carefully nurtured by her, consuming an unknown amount of resources, took over three hundred years to step into the Longevity Secret Realm. And this Daoist Qian Yuan... as a Loose Cultivator, stepped into the Longevity Secret Realm in just over two hundred years, not to mention, this person was already in the Longevity Secret Realm more than fifty years ago, wouldn’t that mean it took less than two hundred years to make the breakthrough? Such talent is astonishing, perhaps only comparable to those Daozi Level prodigies from the Eternal Dynasty, Great Moon Empire, Golden Demon Court. "With your talent, Daoist Qian Yuan... you might be able to comprehend Dao Rhythm in the Longevity Secret Realm in the future." The Elder Manor Master said emotionally. Li Qian touched his nose, wanting to say that he had already comprehended Dao Rhythm. "How do you find Young Manor Master Qingping, Daoist Qian Yuan?" Having seemingly made up her mind, the Elder Manor Master immediately asked. "Elder Manor Master, although I have only met the Young Manor Master twice, I had heard about the great reputation of Young Manor Master earlier. Moreover, Young Manor Master has the potential of a heroine, a true women warrior. Given time, she will surely lead the Heavenly Sword Manor to greater heights." Li Qian not knowing the Elder Manor Master’s intention, immediately gave high praises. Of course, the Young Manor Master was indeed impressive, though slightly more ruthless with her methods. But to take charge of the Heavenly Sword Manor, one cannot be too weak indeed. "My offspring is proud and ambitious but lacks some polishing. With my presence, she’s fine for now, but once I am gone... With Qingping’s temperament, it would be difficult for her to hold the fort." The Elder Manor Master sighed, then changed the tone: "Daoist Qian Yuan, if you and Qingping become Dao companions and jointly lead the Heavenly Sword Manor, would you be willing?" "Uh...." Li Qian was utterly astonished. To become Dao companions with the Young Manor Master? How could that be possible? As of yet, he had never considered this issue. After all, in his view, to become his Dao companion... one must at least keep up with his cultivation speed and have a sufficiently long lifespan. Otherwise, the disparity in cultivation is too great, the lifespan too short... wouldn’t that just add to the sorrow? Being able to become Dao Companions means they are the closest person by your side, the feelings invested are completely different. You can’t just watch your Dao Companion pass away with your eyes wide open... "How is it? Daoist Qian Yuan, do you not fancy Qingping?" The Old Manor Master inquired. "Of course not... The Young Mistress is a proud daughter of heaven, truly beyond my reach." Li Qian shook his head and said. "Well then... Since Daoist Qian Yuan has no such desire, I shall not insist." The Old Manor Master sighed. If Qian Yuan could become Dao Companions with Qingping, it would naturally be for the best. But such matters should be mutually consensual; a melon forcibly twisted off its vine is not sweet. "Daoist Qian Yuan, I have a piece of Outer Heaven Spirit Iron here, which is the best material for refining Spirit Swords, and now I present it to you." Suddenly, the Old Manor Master said. With a wave of her hand, a mass of silver-grey metal emerged, and within this metal, there seemed to be faint ripples of Spiritual Energy. "Spirit Iron?" Li Qian showed a look of surprise; he naturally knew of Spirit Iron – said to not belong to the Longevity Realm, it fell from beyond the heavens, naturally containing Spiritual Energy, used by cultivators in the Longevity Realm to refine their Lifebound Spirit Devices. Ordinary materials of the mortal realm are hardly able to withstand Spiritual Energy. Only special materials from beyond the heavens qualify. Li Qian had always wanted to forge a Lifebound Spirit Sword, alas, without a source of outer heavenly materials. As for his original Lifebound Holy Sword, it was fused with Divine Sword eighteen. Although the materials of Sword eighteen were extremely precious, they aren’t suitable for use as a Lifebound Spirit Sword. Even in combat now, if he channels Spiritual Power into it, the structural integrity of Sword eighteen would collapse. Outer heavenly materials are inherently precious, hoarded by any force that acquires them, and never traded away. Unexpectedly, this Old Manor Master would actually offer a piece of Outer Heaven Spirit Iron. "Old Manor Master, this is too precious..." Li Qian hastily said. "No matter how precious, it needs someone to use it." The Old Manor Master chuckled lightly, "Moreover, refining a Spirit Sword itself is no easy task, ordinary cultivators in the Longevity Realm would instead hinder their cultivation." This piece of Outer Heaven Spirit Iron is an heirloom of Heavenly Sword Manor, never daringly used, she herself, with cultivation surpassing twenty steps in the Returning Void Longevity Realm, had not refined spiritual artifacts. The reason is simple. Refining spiritual artifacts requires feeding them with Spiritual Energy. If one cannot even sustain their own cultivation, further refining a spiritual artifact would certainly hinder their progress. Only a truly unparalleled genius dares to refine spiritual artifacts. The reason she took out this Outer Heaven Spirit Iron and offered it to Li Qian was mainly that within less than two hundred years of cultivation, he managed to break through the Longevity Secret Realm and is an Expertise in Arrays, a true prodigy. Originally, she hoped for Li Qian to become Dao Companions with Qingping and then offer him this piece of Outer Heaven Spirit Iron. But now that he has declined, she has no choice but to take a gamble. Use this Outer Heaven Spirit Iron to truly win over Li Qian. How could Li Qian not understand the Old Manor Master’s intentions? Nevertheless, Outer Heaven Spirit Iron is extremely precious. When he would get it in the future was unknown. If he could refine a Spirit Sword earlier, it would be greatly beneficial to his strength enhancement. Although refining a Spirit Sword requires a large amount of Spiritual Energy, he has a sufficient store of Spiritual Energy inside the Chen Bell, bringing back a little more each time he Returns to Void, and should be enough to nourish the Spirit Sword without affecting his cultivation advancement. Other cultivators in the Longevity Realm... would have to consider carefully. Once you start refining a spiritual artifact, you cannot stop. If there’s not enough Spiritual Energy nourishment, the spirit artifact will absorb the Lifebound Spirit Energy of its owner, and the consequences would be terrible. No wonder this Old Manor Master took out such precious Outer Heaven Spirit Iron. Probably also because no one in Heavenly Sword Manor dares to use it. ..... PS: Requesting for monthly tickets!!!
