Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 274 Thousand Machines Refining God Technique
In the palace.

Zhu Cangshan's divine soul was constantly changing its hands at this moment, so fast that Lin Chen could hardly see the other party's gestures. As the sect leader's gestures changed, the martial arts seal floating in the air also began to rotate.

"Young friend, it will take some time to refine this item. I will also give you a gift, which is a cultivation technique. Whether you can learn it depends on your own ability."

"Gong method?"

"Don't misunderstand, I will not pass on the cultivation techniques of the Qingtian Sect to you. This technique is accessible to all cultivators in the Thousand Machine Domain, but it is only a basic technique in the Yanhuang Dynasty."

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that he didn't look down on it just because it was a product from the Yan Dynasty.

Zhu Cangshan pointed a finger at Lin Chen from a distance, and countless seal characters floated out from Zhu Cangshan's finger like living things, transforming into a torrent of crimson gold that poured into Lin Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

The Thousand Machines Refining God Technique.

As Lin Chen sensed the martial arts inheritance information in his mind, his eyes gradually brightened. This was a weapon-refining technique, but it was also a spirit-refining technique.

He didn't really need weapon crafting, but the spirit refining technique solved his immediate problem.

In the martial arts techniques of the Great Liang Dynasty, there is no cultivation of the soul. Even those who have entered the ranks of martial artists only improve the rank of their martial will by continuously upgrading the rank of their spiritual weapons, and eventually strengthen their soul.

The Great Liang Dynasty did not have any methods for cultivating the divine soul, nor did any of the other nine kingdoms.

The method of cultivating the soul provided by this Thousand Machines Refining Divine Technique is only auxiliary; its purpose is to ensure that the strength of the soul is sufficient for the operation when refining weapons.

"The soul can separate into divine thoughts, which can be used to manipulate weapon crafting..."

"Weapons forged from spiritual materials undergo changes imperceptible to the naked eye; only divine sense can observe them, and only divine sense can differentiate and manipulate certain special forging energies..."

"Once you cultivate three divine thoughts using the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique, you can be considered to have entered the first stage."

As he digested the information from the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique in his mind, Lin Chen began to differentiate his soul according to the technique.

The next moment, Lin Chen's spiritual platform trembled violently, and three strands of energy separated from it, floating quietly outside the platform.

"Is this a success?"

Lin Chen looked surprised, but then he understood.

Senior Zhu said that this is a mainland-made cultivation technique. As long as you are a martial artist in the Thousand Machine Domain, you can access it, so the difficulty of cultivating it is not too high.

"Show!"

With a soft shout, Lin Chen manipulated the three strands of divine thought to appear in front of him.

The next moment, Lin Chen manipulated the three strands of divine soul to slowly take shape, from the original sphere being stretched and elongated until it finally became the shape of three flying knives.

The throwing knife hovered silently beside Lin Chen, but suddenly disappeared after a few breaths.

"Controlling one's divine sense consumes a great deal of one's own divine soul."

Lin Chen looked exhausted, and this exhaustion, which came from his soul, soon took effect on his body as well.

"No rush. I've only just gotten the hang of it. Once I condense twelve divine thoughts, I can stack them into a divine thought shield. If I encounter the second round of trials again, I won't be helpless against the soul attacks of those phantoms."

With his mind withdrawing from cultivation, Lin Chen raised his eyes and looked at Senior Zhu Cangshan.

At that very moment, Zhu Cangshan also put away his hands, and the martial arts seal quietly floated in the air, with streams of martial arts aura constantly surging out.

"It seems you've mastered your skills."

Zhu Cangshan's illusory figure was much fainter than before. He had just finished refining the martial arts seal and could not be distracted by observing Lin Chen's situation.

"Yes, I have mastered the skill. Thank you for passing on the teachings, senior."

"When cultivating this method, do not be impatient, as cultivating the soul is inherently more difficult."

Lin Chen nodded: "I've got it. I won't be impatient for quick success. I'll be very satisfied if I can differentiate twelve divine thoughts within a year."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's answer, Zhu Cangshan was taken aback. Within a year, he had differentiated twelve divine thoughts.

This little guy really dares to dream!

and many more?

Zhu Cangshan's expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "You've developed a divine sense?"

"This junior has separated three divine thoughts, which can be condensed into the shape of flying knives, but unfortunately they cannot be sustained for long."

Lin Chen's mind trembled, and three flying knives quickly appeared beside him, but they disappeared after three breaths.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhu Cangshan's expression turned strange.

The cultivation technique he passed on to Lin Chen, "Thousand Machines Refining God Technique," was passed down from the Thousand Machines Sect, and almost every martial artist in the Thousand Machines Domain had a copy.

The Thousand Machines Sect's side story, "Thousand Machines Refining God Technique," uses this technique to recruit talented martial artists with powerful spirits.

If I remember correctly, if you learn the Thousand Machines Refining Divine Technique and can differentiate your divine sense within three months, you will be qualified to go to the Thousand Machines Sect. If you can differentiate three divine senses at the beginning of learning the technique, you will be qualified to become an outer disciple of the Thousand Machines Sect.

A little guy like this, who can not only differentiate into three divine thoughts but also condense them into shape, can directly become a formal disciple of the Thousand Machines Sect.

The Sky-Piercing Sect cannot compare to the Azure Wave Sect, but the Thousand Machines Sect can; both are regional overlords.

At less than twenty years old, his soul is so powerful. Could he be born with an extraordinary soul?

The growth of the divine soul is extremely slow. Even in the top forces of the Yan Dynasty, the price to pay for making the divine soul stronger is enormous. And on this desolate island, there are no spiritual medicines to enhance the divine soul.

There's only one possibility: this little guy is born with a different soul.

He was born with a spirit and soul that were different from ordinary people.

Such people with innate extraordinary souls are extremely rare even in the Yan Dynasty. Zhu Cangshan never imagined that one would be born on this desolate island.

such a pity!
Unfortunately, the Canglan Sect beat him to it; otherwise, if he had introduced this little guy to the sect, the sect would have protected his family for at least five generations.

"I never expected that you, young friend, would be born with a unique soul. Even in the Yan Dynasty, such a thing would only happen to one in ten million people."

“A naturally born with a different soul?” “Some babies are born with a soul that is different from that of ordinary people. This is called a naturally born with a different soul. People with naturally born with a different soul have a naturally strong soul and have a unique advantage in cultivating their soul and refining weapons. If you are interested in refining weapons, you might as well consider the Thousand Machines Sect.”

The Qingtian Sect cannot afford to offend the Canglan Sect, but the Qianji Sect is not afraid.

Am I born with a different soul?
Upon hearing this term, Lin Chen thought of his identity as a transmigrator.

Could it be because of my time travel that my soul is different from that of ordinary people?

"I'm not very interested in weapon crafting."

Lin Chen shook his head. He pursued the ultimate power of martial arts and was not interested in forging spiritual weapons.

“Young friend, weapon crafting does not interfere with martial arts cultivation. Many seniors of the Thousand Machines Sect are also martial arts experts. Moreover, weapon crafters are extremely sought after in the Yan Dynasty, and all major sects and forces will try to recruit them.”

Upon hearing Zhu Cangshan's explanation, Lin Chen seemed to be deep in thought, and after a long while, he replied, "This junior will consider it."

Zhu Cangshan nodded, not continuing the topic, but changing the subject with a smile, "Young friend, your mountain seal is now complete and you can ascend to the second level."

"Senior, what is the second level of Martial Arts Mountain?"

"Young friend, you will know when the time comes."

Zhu Cangshan wore a mysterious expression, keeping everyone in suspense.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he put away the martial arts seal and looked at Gao Yongsi and Liu Yue behind him.

At this moment, the colors of the light pillars on the two bodies were similar, and the colors of the light pillars had become extremely rich, clearly indicating that they had reached the final stage of the test.

"senior……"

"I understand your meaning. You want this little girl to obtain the Sect Guiding Token, but the Sect Guiding Token is related to the sect, and I cannot manipulate it behind the scenes unless this little girl also passes the test. Do you understand?"

Lin Chen understood immediately; Senior Zhu's meaning was clear: if Liu Yue failed the assessment, she would have no chance of obtaining the Guiding Token.

Therefore, the prerequisite is that Liu Yue can pass the assessment.

Just like some recruitment processes in the past, you have to pass a written test before you can proceed with any actions during the interview stage.

"Young friend, I'm sending you out now. Remember your promise to me."

The next moment, Lin Chen saw the pillars of light on Liu Yue and Gao Yongsi surge simultaneously, and at the same time, Zhu Cangshan's voice rang in his ears.

Before Lin Chen could respond, he noticed that his surroundings had changed and started to blur. When his vision cleared, he was already outside the main hall.

Two war puppets stood alone at the door, keeping him company.

Seeing the two battle puppets, Lin Chen's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he once again separated three divine thoughts. This time, instead of transforming them into flying knives, he directly controlled the three divine thoughts to float towards the battle puppets.

The moment the divine sense touched the battle puppet, it immediately entered the puppet's body.

"go!"

Lin Chen gave a soft shout, and the two battle puppets lifted their feet slightly, but then put them down again.

Seeing this, Lin Chen's lips twitched. Sure enough, his soul was not strong enough.

These two battle puppets possess strength approaching the eighth rank. With his current divine soul strength, if he wanted to control these two battle puppets, he would need to allocate more divine thoughts. Conservatively speaking, he would need ten divine thoughts to control each battle puppet.

"Although I cannot control the battle puppet, I can use it to cultivate my soul."

The Thousand Machines Refining Divine Technique mentions that when a weapon refiner observes the changes in weapon refining with their divine soul, their divine soul will also grow.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen continuously channeled his divine sense into the battle puppet, then gradually used his divine sense to control it...

The feeling of controlling the battle puppet with one's soul was extremely wonderful, like manipulating external objects with one's mind. Unconsciously, Lin Chen became immersed in it.

……

……

Until, Lin Chen suddenly felt a surge of power flowing through his body, forcibly interrupting his spiritual cultivation.

"Time is up?"

He was very familiar with this power; it was this power that had pulled him here when he was first teleported in.

"Between Liu Yue and Gao Yongsi, who obtained the Guiding Token?"

Just as Lin Chen was wondering, he felt dizzy again, and the scenery around him began to blur until it became distorted.

"Where is this?"

"The three days haven't even been up yet, how did I get teleported?"

The moment the dizziness subsided and his vision cleared, Lin Chen heard a multitude of sounds.

Lin Chen immediately looked around and found himself in a plain area, where the martial artists from the four families who had been teleported in were now present.

"Young Master Lin!"

Dan Muqing's voice came, and Lin Chen looked over. Dan Muqing was standing with several members of the Dan family.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then strode towards Dan Muqing.

"Young Master Lin, this trip..."

Just as Dan Muqing asked Lin Chen how many points he had earned, two figures suddenly fell from the sky.

boom!
The moment the two figures appeared in mid-air, they collided without hesitation.

The release of energy stirred up a cloud of dust, shocking everyone present and leaving them bewildered.

A few breaths later, the dust and mist dissipated.

Gao Yongsi and Liu Yue appeared in the middle of the crowd.
