Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Secret Sword: Wind Slash

This could be considered another slight change in history under his influence.Although it was not as profound as the impact of the battle at the City Lord's Mansion in Yuanshan. But seeing things take a turn for the better with his own involvement. It also brought Lu Qingshan considerable joy. ... As the Steward of the Pacification Commissioner, Cai Heng was incorruptible and iron-blooded throughout his life. His duty made him different from ordinary cultivators. Most cultivators prioritize personal gain above all else. But for cultivators like Cai Heng, often times they would choose to die for their convictions in lieu of personal interest. Such individuals also have the hardest time accepting favors from others. Cai Heng now felt deeply indebted to Lu Qingshan and consequently found himself lost in thought. He was considering how to repay the great favor he owed to Lu Qingshan. "Before I reach the end of my life, finding my daughter-in-law and grandson has resolved a great concern of mine, that's good enough..." Finally, Cai Heng made up his mind, took out a jade slip from his storage ring, placed it on the tung-wood desk, and gently pushed it in Lu Qingshan's direction. Steward Cai said in a deep voice, "Although this item is of no use to me, it is the most valuable thing I possess." Lu Qingshan knew that this was the reward for the quest. "This is a technique of Secret Sword, a dharma that sword cultivators find most coveted." seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "My ancestor was an extremely powerful sword cultivator, and this is the dharma he passed down. Unfortunately, with each passing generation, the Cai family's influence has faded, and by my generation, I am the only one left. Moreover, I have no talent for swordsmanship, having learned the ways of Beast Cultivation, so this Secret Sword Technique has lain dormant with me." "Though the Secret Sword Technique is extremely difficult to practice, once mastered, its power is unparalleled. Thus, all sword cultivators regard it as a precious treasure, whether you keep it or decide to sell it, both are fine, consider it your reward for finding my son and daughter-in-law." There was a hint of reluctance and regret in Cai Heng's eyes. It was a pity he would not have the chance to witness this ancestral Secret Sword Technique shine once again. The Secret Sword is a divine skill belonging to sword cultivators. Simply put, it is an ultimate move. The Heaven and Earth Sword that Lu Qingshan mastered in his previous life was one such Secret Sword Technique. Lu Qingshan reached out to accept the jade slip and probed into it with his divine sense. Soon a series of data emerged before his eyes: [Secret Sword: Wind Slash] Learning conditions: Agility greater than 20, possession of a faint [Sword Intent]. Casting conditions: Can only be cast through a Sword Artifact Skill effects: Consumes up to 10% of maximum Spiritual Power, the next attack will cause two additional attacks, the second attack causing damage at 60% of the original damage value, and the third at 30%. Additional effects: Both additional attacks will carry the attack's active effects. Cooldown time: 3 minutes. Additional notes: Learning this Secret Sword requires spending 1000 Experience Points. ... "Detection of Sword Technique [Secret Sword: Wind Slash], do you want to spend 1000 Experience Points to learn it?" "Learn!" "You do not meet the learning conditions for [Secret Sword: Wind Slash], unable to learn the skill!" "Detection of innate talent [Innate Swordseed], learning [Secret Sword: Wind Slash]... Learning progress 15%...50%...99%..." Lu Qingshan's head suddenly swelled as a wealth of knowledge flooded in in an instant.

"Spending 600 experience points, you have mastered the Secret Sword: Wind Slash lv1 (0/2000)!" ... The powerful burst from Secret Sword: Wind Slash had brought Lu Qingshan a direct benefit: his damage per second had now surpassed the Health Points upper limit of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. In other words, Lu Qingshan could now kill most cultivators of the same level in an instant with the Secret Sword: Wind Slash. Moreover, its skill effects could be combined with many other skills. For example, under the effect of casting Secret Sword: Wind Slash, Lu Qingshan could instantly stack three layers of the Power of Dark Erosion from the Falling Bright Sword Technique on his enemy, thereby triggering the Bind effect of the Falling Bright Sword Technique. This was a sword technique that Lu Qingshan could continue to use from the Qi Refining Realm to much higher levels. "Success!" Lu Qingshan felt much more elated. His first target in Zhenjiang City could be said to have gone exceptionally smoothly. Lu Qingshan put away the Jade Slip that recorded the Secret Sword Technique: "Being a Sword Cultivator myself, this Secret Sword Technique is extremely precious to me, and I naturally would not sell away this technique. I assure Steward Cai that I will diligently practice this Secret Sword Technique and will not let down the trust you have placed in me!" Lu Qingshan assured with resonating certainty. Cai Heng was momentarily startled upon hearing this, then smiled with relief: "Though you keep your origins mysterious, and I do not know where you come from, for someone so young to have reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement, you must indeed be a person of exceptional talent. Perhaps, you really will be able to master this Secret Sword Technique and restore the glory of my Cai Family's Wind Slash Technique. Regrettably, my time is running short, and I'm afraid I may not have the chance to witness this." Cai Heng was quite carefree, not at all avoiding talking about his own life and death. ... Upon leaving the study, Lu Qingshan prepared to depart from the Cai residence. "Young Master Lu, please wait!" As he was about to reach the door, an urgent call came from behind. Lu Qingshan stopped in his tracks and turned to look. Cai Xingchao hurriedly approached. "My mother asked me to give this to you," Cai Xingchao said as he handed over a lustrous jade bracelet to Lu Qingshan. It was none other than the Magic Artifact Jade Bracelet left by Steward Cai's Dao Companion, Si Jun! Lu Qingshan's brow furrowed, and he pushed back the Magic Artifact Jade Bracelet, refusing: "Steward Cai has already given me a reward as thanks. Besides, this was left by your grandmother, and even in the most difficult times, you and your mother have never sold it. How could I rightly claim what you hold dear?" Cai Xingchao scratched his head, looking anxious: "My mother said that although grandfather would certainly reward you to express gratitude, that is from him and it has nothing to do with us. You saved my mother's life, and we cannot go without showing our gratitude. We have nothing else of value, and this Magic Artifact Jade Bracelet is the only thing we can offer. Please, I beg you, do not refuse." (Task completion: Excellent, received additional rewards) All he did was provide a piece of information, allowing them to recognize each other, and he had done nothing else. Yet whether it be Cai Heng, the Steward of the Pacification Commissioner, or the mother and child of the lowly cultivator Shi Youling, they all offered their most precious possessions as thanks. Lu Qingshan found himself at a loss for words and could only silently take the Magic Artifact Jade Bracelet that Cai Xingchao handed over. Azure Water Bracelet Level: Supreme Quality Mortal Artifact Description: As the valley benefits the stomach, it is then conveyed to the lungs. Active Effects of the Magic Artifact: [Azure Water Boundless] You can store a certain amount of Spiritual Power within the Azure Water Bracelet, and when necessary, release the stored Spiritual Power Value to rapidly restore your own Spiritual Power Value. Stored Spiritual Power Value: 100/100 ... An incredibly practical Magic Artifact for sustainability; a restoration amount of 100 Spiritual Power Value had already exceeded the current upper limit of Lu Qingshan's Spiritual Power Value. In front of Cai Xingchao, Lu Qingshan solemnly wore the Azure Water Bracelet on his left wrist, then bid farewell and left.
