Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 505 Arrangement
As for his disciple, he has now reached the twelfth level of Qi Condensation. With his aptitude, if he continues to practice hard for a few more years, he will be able to build a foundation for the Tao and break through to a new realm.

If he couldn't make it back by then, he would need to find someone to take care of him in advance...

Chen Mu thought for a moment, but did not rush to make arrangements. Instead, he changed his tone and said, "Cheng Duan, your master saw you fighting with the Liu brothers. Although you were at a disadvantage at the beginning, you remained calm in the face of danger. You used your fingers to pinch the sword technique, which was hidden in your sleeves. It seems that you have other tricks up your sleeve.

But why did you abandon it in the end and instead use your realm to pressure others?"

Yu Chengduan was surprised. He thought no one had noticed, but he didn't expect Chen Mu to see through it. He couldn't help but admire him sincerely:

"Master, you are as clear as a candle. I do have other tricks. Two years ago, Master asked me to practice with my fellow disciples more, so I learned a few flying sword techniques in the Daozang Hall. However, I have never shown them to anyone, and I have kept them as a trump card.

Just now, when I was fighting with the Liu brothers, I subconsciously wanted to use this technique to deal with them. But then I changed my mind and thought, my realm cannot be concealed, and my swordsmanship is unknown to anyone, so why should I reveal my trump card to win?
After some thought, the disciple dispersed the sword-flying technique and only used his realm to suppress the opponent.

He had heard that his mentor had once fought against a hundred people with his sword skills in the Western Desert, which was extremely impressive. He was envious and secretly decided to follow the path of sword cultivation. He also read a lot of sword scriptures in private for this purpose.

Little did they know that Chen Mu was not a pure sword cultivator, but had integrated the art of flying swords into a method...

After Chen Mu heard Yu Chengduan's details, he already knew what he was thinking, but he was not going to stop him. Sword cultivators are also cultivators of the Great Dao. Since Yu Chengduan is determined, there may be a day when he will achieve success.

Thinking of this, he felt quite hopeful that perhaps his disciple could achieve success in the sword path where he had not yet achieved success.

He said softly, "Chengduan, show me the swordsmanship you have learned."

Yu Chengduan immediately agreed, and with a pinch of his magic formula, a cold light flew out from the storage bag. Under his control, it turned into a stream of light that flew back and forth, circling up and down, dancing in the air like a Gengjin dragon.

Chen Mu watched carefully from the side and nodded secretly.

Although he was not a sword cultivator, with his vision, he could see that his disciple had talent.

Flying swords are easy to learn but difficult to master. Everyone can use the basic sword moves, but only a few can eventually reach the advanced level. Most of them are cultivators who are limited by their talents and cannot enter the realm.

The qualifications here are not spiritual root qualifications, but sword posture.

Chen Mu had been like this before. Although his spiritual roots were low, he was still able to achieve something and cultivated the "Nongyu Jingtao Sword Sutra" to perfection. However, due to different emphases, he ultimately did not embark on the path of sword cultivation...

Since his disciple has talent, he will not remain silent, but will strongly support him!

He pondered for a moment, then pointed his hand back and a ray of light flew into Yu Chengduan's eyebrows.

He said in a loud voice: "If one wants to accomplish something, he must first master the method. This "Sword Manual of Rain and Shocking Waves" is one of the sword techniques mastered by your master. It is a bit too early for you to learn it now, but after you have successfully established your foundation, you can practice and master it one by one.

If one day you can fully comprehend this sword manual, perhaps you can use it to embark on the path of swordsmanship and become a swordsman!"

Yu Chengduan was so absorbed in it that he couldn't help but let out a low cry. He quickly came back to his senses, knelt down and bowed solemnly, saying in a deep voice, "Disciple thanks Master for the Dharma!"

You should know that such a systematic sword manual is enough to create a lineage of inheritance, not to mention the "Sword Manual of Rain and Shocking Waves" which is of the highest grade of treasure technique. It was written by the ancestor Shuiyun. Even a big sect like Fushan Changhe cannot take it out casually.

Chen Mu nodded and reminded him, "But you must remember that this sword manual is a water-based sword method, which is only suitable for one of your spiritual roots. You still need the gold-based sword manual to reach your ultimate. If you don't reach the ultimate, don't rush into the path of swordsmanship."

Sword cultivation is not static and can be roughly divided into two types.

One is the ultimate sword that moves forward fearlessly and seeks only to kill.

The other type is secretly in line with the attributes of one's own spiritual roots, with diverse styles and varying powers.

It is hard to say which one is better or worse. After all, both have produced outstanding figures.

Since Yu Chengduan had obtained the Water Sword Technique that secretly matched his own attributes, it would be a pity not to take the second path... Yu Chengduan was well-versed in sword scriptures and obviously knew this distinction, so he replied solemnly: "Disciple, please remember this."

"Yeah." Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction, then took out another object and dropped it.

When Yu Chengduan took it, he saw a flying sword with extraordinary spirituality turning and moving in his palm. It was very attractive, and it was a precious flying sword spiritual weapon.

"This sword also requires you to form a Dao foundation before you can wield it as you wish. I will grant it to you for now."

Flying sword spiritual weapons are precious, but for Chen Mu today, they are no longer as rare as before.

Only then did Yu Chengduan finally react and ask, "Master, you gave me the sword manual and spiritual weapon in advance, but you're going on a long journey?"

Chen Mu nodded and said, "It's time to fulfill the promise we made years ago..."

Hearing this, Yu Chengduan nodded. He believed that one must keep his promise. If he were in their place, he would do the same.

"I don't know when I'll be back from this trip. If I can't catch up with you for your breakthrough, please go find your Uncle Gao. I'll let her know in advance."

The bottleneck of foundation building is the first hurdle for cultivators. If they fail to break through, they may suffer serious injuries and damage to their foundation at the very least, or even die at the worst.

With the commander watching over them, even if they failed, the losses would not be too great, so Chen Mu made arrangements in advance to be prepared for a rainy day.

But speaking of it, when he broke through the bottleneck, he not only faced it alone, but was also in the secret realm of the East China Sea. The danger level was far beyond that of his disciple.

Yu Chengduan felt warm in his heart and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

……

The sun rose and the moon set, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu sat in concentration for a long time, and after making sure that everything was ready, he put Xiao Qi away and left the cave.

It was unknown how long it would take for him to return. Yu Chengduan stood on Yunze Island to see him off. After giving him some more instructions, he took off on a cloud and flew towards Hexu Mountain.

He did not stop along the way, and in a moment he descended with a light of escape and arrived at the place where his master was in seclusion.

Gao Xiaoqing seemed to have anticipated this, so he had been waiting here long ago. When he saw Chen Mu coming here, he immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Brother, I knew you would come to visit the master."

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled. After bowing respectfully towards the place where his master was in seclusion, he looked at Gao Xiaoqing and said, "Junior sister is indeed very talented. Now she has already completed her foundation..."

Gao Xiaoqing has an extremely yin body, and in terms of cultivation aptitude, his cultivation aptitude is several times better than Yu Chengduan's.

She smiled broadly and said mischievously, "Brother, you've become a hands-off boss, leaving your disciple to me. But my junior sister is also close to a breakthrough. Who will you arrange to look after me?"

Chen Mu's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will rush over as soon as possible!"

Gao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"

"Of course I take it seriously..."
