Their commission was suspicious.

So what do you want?

"Of course it's swordsmanship, swordsmanship. When you talk to the people from the previous generation, tell them that the only true disciple of Penglai Island and Kunlun has no more swordsmanship to learn. Ask them to send more swordsmanship techniques over. As for the token, just use the two gold and silver rings that you got from me."

"You have no idea how much pressure it is for a lazy master to have a disciple with exceptional cultivation aptitude. They can learn any sword manual after reading it once, and they can grasp the basics of even the most difficult cultivation sword techniques after reading them three or four times. They have an innate and excellent affinity for swords... It's impossible to teach them, it's simply impossible to teach them."

"She's already read through all the sword manuals from Shu Mountain, Kunlun, and Penglai. Left with no other choice, we tricked her into going down the mountain to find her distant relative—her nephew, who is indeed her only remaining relative. We also wanted her to test her sword skills and see how she fared." Ye Yunshang sounded like a nagging old woman seeking solace.

"Wait, isn't your disciple from Mount Shu? Isn't he from the land of Bashu?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

Moreover, this passage contains too many elements.

When did my cousin become a descendant of Penglai and Kunlun?

"And isn't this Mount Shu?" Chen Luo glanced down.

Chen Luo could sense that the place he was in was extremely rich in spiritual energy; it would not be an exaggeration to call it a blessed land.

"...It seems you really are a lone wolf, not a member of a major power." Ye Yunshang muttered to herself.

"I can hear you." Chen Luo tossed the mid-grade spirit stone that belonged to the other person and tapped him on the head.

Then, using a string, he pulled the mid-grade spirit stone back before the other party could snatch it back.

Is it really okay to be so open about your intention to investigate other people's identities?

"Ahem, these are not important. I'm just curious about your identity, which is normal. As for my disciple's identity... well, how should I put it? The only person with such an outrageous talent as a sword immortal at the very beginning of the millennium's spiritual energy revival is my disciple Su Yuan. And the only time that the Abyss Plane was invaded, allowing those big shots to temporarily descend to the mortal realm, was that. Someone like my disciple would usually attract a frenzy of competition from various forces."

"But I'm not bragging. Compared to my disciple, everyone here is trash. You can't even beat him in a fight, let alone steal anything. So, in the end, it was decided that my disciple would have to choose whether to become the successor of Penglai, Shushan, or Kunlun. Before that, my disciple can freely peruse the sword manuals of the three major sword-cultivating sects: Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai."

"However, these sword manuals can only be used by her when she is practicing, and must never be passed on to outsiders. She has made a great oath to her inner demons. For someone like my disciple who is destined for great things, the oath to her inner demons is much more effective than any oath to the heavens."

"So... your disciple is now considered the sole successor of the three sword-cultivation sects?"

Chen Luo increasingly felt that her aunt was the real protagonist.

The chosen one!

"No, he is only the sole successor of Penglai and Kunlun, but not the sole successor of Shushan. Shushan is open, isn't it? He can only be described as the sole true disciple of Shushan," Ye Yunshang said, waving her hand.

"As for the Kunlun and Penglai sects, which are known for their elites, they are not only extremely strict in accepting disciples, but also have their sects located in the most underworldly places, so they have not yet established their own sects."

"So, what were those people thinking when they opened their sects in such strange places? Are they dumbfounded now?" Ye Yunshang laughed unkindly.

“Indeed.” Chen Luo nodded.

Shushan is alright.

The land of Bashu is rich in outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

But Penglai and Kunlun are different. One is a fairy island, but it's impossible to find now. The other is the far west, freezing cold, and nobody would want to go there.

"And what about you? What does your master do?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Of course, I'll use my support talent to assist the other party in their cultivation."

"Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly curious about what your talent is," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"Hmph, you'd be a fool to know. Others only know that my talent is a top-tier support talent, but only my apprentice and I know exactly what it is. I'm not going to tell you, and my apprentice is even less likely to," Ye Yunshang sneered.

"..."

Chen Luo suddenly realized that he really didn't know.

Although Chen Luo and the other person hit it off immediately, Chen Luo later deleted the other person from his friend list.

Chen Luo discovered that doing this and then adding the other person back would change their fixed level of affection to a normal level.

After all, favorability fragments are very precious.

But Chen Luo never had the chance to add the other person back to his friend list because they had never shaken hands.

So Chen Luo really didn't know what the other person's talent was, because he hadn't looked into it closely when he had a friend.

The old monk and the old Taoist priest received the same treatment.

But don't worry, Chen Luo can ask her precious apprentice tomorrow.

If they don't answer, they won't get breakfast.

“As long as you use my ring as a token, those people from the upper realm will believe you. Although the color has changed, the effect of the token should still be there. In that case, those people from the immortal realm should try to get more sword manuals. Of course, you will also get your share of the benefits. With their consent, you can also see these sword manuals, right?” Ye Yunshang said.

And isn't this the only advantage Ye Yunshang has as the River God's contact person?

To gain benefits for one's apprentice in advance.

You can say that Ye Yunshang is a lazy and unambitious master, but you can't say that she's not a good master.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[The self-rescue method of the "slacker" master]: I have connections!

(In short, find a way to contact the people in the Immortal Realm, and then obtain sword techniques that satisfy Ye Yunshang in both quantity and quality.)

Rewards: 500 Primogems + 20 points of favorability with Ye Yunshang + Random talent reward (exclusive to Ye Yunshang)

"Oh, no problem." Chen Luo nodded.

Whether for personal reasons or not, Chen Luo could not refuse the other party's request.

That's right, there's no public benefit.

Putting everything else aside, Su Yuan was the only relative Chen Luo knew of.

In Chen Luo's eyes, this is even rarer than a giant panda.

Chen Luodu was even considering whether to pass on his modified version of the Taixu Sword Qi from his talent panel to the other party.

"Hmm? Why are you being so easy to talk to this time? You got it done so easily?" Chen Luo agreed so readily that Ye Yunshang was caught off guard.

Ye Yunshang originally thought she would have to argue with Chen Luo for a long time.

I didn't expect them to agree so quickly.

"You... repeat your request again," Chen Luo said after a moment of silence.

"Take my token and tell the people in the Immortal Realm that the current S-rank sword immortals, who possess the best combination of cultivation and talent, have no more sword manuals to learn. Ask them to get some. You can ask them for payment directly, or you can learn these sword manuals as payment." Ye Yunshang was a little confused, but she repeated herself.

"Oh, no, I won't do it." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Huh??? But you just said it was fine." Ye Yunshang was taken aback.

"I regret it, is that not allowed? It seems the easier something is to get something, the less you cherish it. Now, I'll show you just how troublesome it is to get rid of me," Chen Luo sneered.

"..." Ye Yunshang suddenly had an urge to beat up her past self from a minute ago.

If you can, give this river god a beating too.

"It's not impossible for me to agree. Come on, let's shake hands." Chen Luo extended his hand to the other person.

But Chen Luo responded with a middle finger.

"Sorry, I don't accept unspoken rules," Ye Yunshang said with a cold laugh, arms crossed.

"......" This girl has quite the imagination.

No, she's an older woman.

Chapter 602 The Snake Who Sent Klein to the Meeting in His Place

"Dual cultivation? Can girls cultivate together? What kind of bizarre talent is that?" Chen Luo, who was drinking milk, almost spat it out.

"What's wrong? Cousin, don't think too far astray about talent, okay? The dual cultivation he mentioned refers to dual cultivation of A-level talent."

"This talent is completely different from the dual cultivation in those novels you read. This person has a powerful talent that ranks among the top 10 of all known registered A-level talents." Seeing Chen Luo's strange expression, Su Yuan knew that Chen Luo must have misunderstood, so she quickly said.

"Ahem, Xiaoyuan, you must have misunderstood. I was just saying that this coconut milk is quite delicious, no wonder Qiqi likes it so much." Chen Luo said, pointing to the half-finished cup of coconut milk he had drunk.

And it's coconut milk from a goat.

Although I don't know why, there really are coconut sheep in the world, and they really can produce milk, and their milk is really delicious.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

"Really. Cousin, let me tell you, my master's talent is truly amazing."

"Yes, yes, I understand. But is there a ranking for A-level talents? I really didn't expect that," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"Of course. Every time before those powerful beings are about to enter their self-sealed lands, a powerful being will specifically calculate all the talents of this millennium and then list them in a table."

"However, each S-level talent has their own methods, so the table of S-level talents can be said to have many errors and omissions. But A-level talents generally do not have this ability to resist detection, so the list of A-level talents is still quite reliable."

“My master’s talent is indeed unprecedented, but after she appears, she will definitely be in the top 10 list because it is an extremely rare and top-notch support talent.”

"The rule for ranking those below S-level is to see how much help they can provide to S-level talents."

That's right. The A-level talent rating isn't based on who can fight, but on who can provide greater assistance or cause greater damage to S-level talents.

In short, whoever has the greatest influence on S-level talents will be ranked higher.

"The activation of this dual cultivation talent requires a medium, and that medium is a relationship. This talent can only be activated after a specific relationship has been established with the other party. The relationship that my master and I have established is that of master and disciple."

"Once the dual cultivation talent is successfully activated, it will provide the other party with a corresponding degree of cultivation bonus based on the strongest attribute of both parties."

"Take my master and me as an example. I don't need to say anything more. My sword cultivation talent is the strongest, and it is even stronger than the opponent's strongest mental attribute, so I can provide the opponent with a 150% cultivation bonus."

"My master's mental strength attribute is weaker than my strongest sword cultivation talent, so she can only provide me with a 50% cultivation bonus."

"But it's worth noting that this cultivation bonus is directly added to my talent, which means I now have the equivalent of 1.5 Sword Immortal talents. After starting dual cultivation, I could clearly feel that my comprehension and affinity with the sword had increased significantly."

"I don't know the upper limit of this talent, but I estimate it to be at least level one. That means my master is currently an A-level talent, and can at least form a relationship with an S-level talent for dual cultivation."

"My master often tells me that because I've amplified this talent a bit too much, she might be able to upgrade it to an S-rank talent in a short time. But she said that three years ago, and it still hasn't been upgraded."

"Overall, the dual cultivation talent is really an outrageous talent."

"But you should only know about this, cousin. Don't tell anyone else," Su Yuan said solemnly to Chen Luo.

"Don't worry, do you think I would covet the other person's talent? Or rather, do you think the other person's talent could be of any help to me?" Chen Luo said, resting his hands on the table.

"Uh, right..." If her cousin hadn't reminded her, Su Yuan would have almost forgotten that her cousin was an extraordinary being who was at least an SS-level talent user and carried several S-level talents with him.

"So can I have breakfast now?" Su Yuan asked, pointing to the breakfast in front of her, her mouth watering.

"Eat up, eat up. Even if you didn't say anything, would I let you go hungry?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Su Yuan.

"I knew it, my cousin is the best. I need to eat quickly, because Yunxia and I have made plans to go find the river god together after I finish eating," Su Yuan said while wolfing down her food.

"Don't talk while you eat, eat slowly, act like a girl," Chen Luo said with some concern.

Wait, what did she just say?

Who should we go to?

"We need to find the River God. Cousin, you don't know how infuriating that River God is. He actually called my master an old lady. My master told me that if we meet him, we should first ask him for a sparring match, and then beat him up."

"And another thing, that river god is really awful. He made Yunxia and me search for ages and we still couldn't find him," Su Yuan said while chewing on a sausage.

"..." Chen Luo paused for a moment, then decided not to tell Su Yuan that he was the River God.

If you speak ill of your cousin in front of me, you'll definitely get a beating from society.

Take your time to investigate.

It would be a good opportunity for Chen Luo to check how well his disguise was done and whether it could fool Su Yuanyunxia and Yun Lian'er.

If we can fool them, it means we can fool other S-class talent users.

Oh, by the way, I'll send Patchouli a message and tell her not to tell Yun Lian'er about this.

It's not unreasonable for Chen Luo to only make the other person work hard for one day when they speak ill of him to his face, right?

"But why did you ask about my master, cousin?" Su Yuan asked curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just curious about what kind of person your master is," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

Looking back now, he was probably just a bit dim-witted.

But to be fair, the other person's talent is indeed outrageous.

It's too ridiculous.

It was so outrageous that even Chen Luo found it absurd.

Although the opponent's current A-level talent ceiling may not be very high, what if it becomes S-level or even SS-level?
