Chapter 107 The Tree Stands Taller Than the Forest, Guiding the Master

"Disciple understands."

Lu Wubing truly understood.

A tree that grows taller than the forest will be felled by the wind; a person who excels above others will be criticized by the masses.

If someone were to flaunt their perfect swordsmanship, aside from anything else, if there were spies from other factions within the Heavenly Star Sect, it would immediately leak out. Then, they wouldn't be able to go anywhere else; they'd be guaranteed to be assassinated.

If the Tianxing Sect doesn't kill such a promising young talent first, then it wouldn't be a worthy adversary.

As for whether there are enemy agents within the mountain gate, there's no need to guess; they definitely are.

Perhaps there are more than one or two.

If not.

The sect leader wouldn't choose to secretly return to the mountain, pretend he didn't come back, and hide to fish.

“Master, on the way back to the mountain this time, I unintentionally obtained a mantra for purifying the mind. According to the person who gave it to me, this mantra seems to be very helpful for spiritual cultivation.”

My cultivation has encountered considerable obstacles, and I see little progress. I humbly request guidance from my master.

Feeling grateful for his master's kind heart, Lu Wubing told him about the [Little Pure Sound Mantra].

If, when they first became disciples in Jiangzhou, the master and disciple each had their own calculations and were not truly sincere, then...

However, after last night's battle, all the pent-up frustration has vanished.

At this moment, the sect leader was even willing to take out his own precious medicine, which he used to save his life and cure his illness, just so that he could quickly improve his cultivation. This act truly moved Lu Wubing.

After thinking about it, I decided to reveal the spell that could slightly suppress the aftereffects of cultivating the [Primordial Spirit Sword Manual].

Although there was a slight risk of revealing that he had also cultivated the [Primordial Spirit Sword Manual], he couldn't care less.

In life, we can't live in a constant state of calculation.

There's no need to be so petty about gains and losses.

“Write it down and let’s see.”

Upon hearing his disciple mention that it could enhance spiritual cultivation, Ouyang Zheng was moved, and his voice carried a hint of urgency.

He was stuck at the peak of the first rank, unable to comprehend sword intent. It wasn't because his cultivation was insufficient, nor because his foundation was weak.

In terms of foundation and cultivation, he can defeat 99% of the experts below the Innate Realm. Even if he encounters someone at the Innate Realm, he can fight to the death.

However, overcoming the mental barrier is not so easy.

A slight difference can sometimes mean an insurmountable gap.

Once this link is completed, the Ren and Du meridians will merge, the Xuan Guan acupoint will be opened, and a wisp of innate true qi will be refined, making a breakthrough in realm just around the corner.

Lu Wubing picked up the brush on the table, quickly wrote a short story, blew the ink dry, and handed it over.

Ouyang Zheng glanced at the text and felt confused, thinking that it was indeed not easy to understand.

The words are easy to pronounce and extremely simple, seemingly describing a feeling...

'Catchy, no, this is way too catchy.'

After silently reciting the text in his mind, Ouyang Zheng felt as if the words possessed some kind of magic, and he couldn't help but read them aloud.

As soon as the incantation was finished, I felt a slight clarity in my mind, and a strange aura appeared, rippling gently and calming my restlessness and delusions.

After I saw that [Primordial Spirit Sword Manual] last time, I used it unintentionally. Afterwards, it was like a maggot clinging to my bone, impossible to get rid of.

Especially after using the Yuanling Sword Technique to kill and devour enemies during several crises, he felt a sense of foreboding.

These days, I spend most of my time cultivating, and a small portion of my time actually calming the demonic thoughts in my heart.

Outwardly, he appeared unchanged, but deep down, he could even sense that he was gradually stepping into an abyss.

but.

This seemingly ordinary incantation acted like a pair of warm hands, pulling him back to reality.

Recite it three times.

Ouyang Zhengcai stopped, still feeling unsatisfied, and looked at his disciple again with a sense of relief.

This disciple was a worthwhile investment; he always wanted to offer his master any good things he had.

What is the name of this skill?

"It's the Little Pure Sound Mantra. Princess Ji Wenxiu gave it to me out of gratitude for saving her life, without saying that it couldn't be passed on. Master, have you figured out its secrets?"

"There are indeed mysteries, but the way to enter this skill is not through the circulation of qi and blood, but by using tone of voice to guide the spirit and using the spirit to regulate the five elements... There is no need to delve into the spiritual meaning; just recite it."

Lu Wubing flashed a bright smile, revealing a set of white teeth. "Thank you for your guidance, Master. Now I'm not worried anymore. When I was practicing before, I found that it didn't have much effect, and I thought I was practicing it wrong." "Good lad, next time you encounter a technique you're unsure about, bring it to your master for a look. Never practice it casually."

Ouyang Zhengyi was implying something.

"Yes."

"Go find Xiaolan."

Ouyang Zheng waved his hand, his face beaming with joy, and couldn't help but immediately go into seclusion to cultivate.

During this time, he felt his heart was so heavy that he could hardly bear it. This incantation came at just the right time.

He had actually heard of the famous "Minor Pure Sound Mantra"...

However, this scripture has long been lost and is very difficult to find.

Now that we understand the theory behind the exercises, we can target our efforts and find similar techniques.

Perhaps, it can actually eliminate the future troubles of the [Yuanling Sword Manual].

'This sword technique is indeed powerful; it might even allow me to break through to the Innate Realm in a short period of time.'

The consequences were indeed extremely terrifying, far beyond my control. The appearance of the Little Pure Sound Mantra was truly a divine intervention.

God help!

Such a coincidence?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Zheng carefully recalled his disciple's expression earlier, and his heart suddenly trembled.

"Good lad, is he putting on an act? He wasn't asking for guidance; he was actually giving me pointers. He must have realized that I've already practiced the [Primordial Spirit Sword Manual]."

Thinking of this, Ouyang Zheng felt a slight heat on his face, suddenly stood up, and then slowly sat down again.

……

Out of the study.

Then I saw that Senior Sister Xiaolan was already waiting there, looking quite pretty.

Beneath her smiling face lay a deep sense of unease.

Did your father scold you?

Why are you cursing me?

Lu Wubing looked surprised: "Not only did Master not scold me, but he also took the initiative to help me find an auspicious day, saying that I should prepare the betrothal gifts before all the guests of the Three Families Grand Competition arrive..."

"Little Lu!"

Ouyang Lan blushed crimson and was about to transform into her junior master's wife and slash with her sword.

And yet she was still worried.

"Stop, stop! Can't I just not prepare a betrothal gift?"

"You still said."

She raised her sword a few times, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to cut him down. Ouyang Lan was quite skilled in light footwork, and she grabbed her junior brother's tender flesh at the waist and twisted it.

"call out……"

She learned this skill on her own.

"Does it hurt?"

"pain!"

Actually, after refining the [Golden Thread Robe], this skin can no longer be regarded as just skin.

It's not even one-tenth as good as cowhide.

Even if it doesn't hurt, I have to pretend. Lu Wubing quickly changed the subject: "Master really said that Senior Sister should teach me how to cultivate the Heavenly River Orthodox Method."

"Keep your voice down, shush..."

Ouyang Lan looked around furtively, like a thief.

Seeing that no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Wubing with a hint of envy.

Even my father wasn't this forgiving towards me back then.

No matter how much you plead, they insist on following the rules and will only teach you the Heavenly River Orthodox Method after you have mastered the three meridians of the [Dripping Water Force] and passed the three trials of the Sword Gate.

Three years.

It took three whole years to repair.

Do you know how I have been spending these three years?
