Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1373: 733: Insight
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Yuanba completed a cycle of his cultivation. He was preparing to ingest a Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pill to persist with his training when a notification flashed on his Identity Jade Disc.
The moment he read the message, his face lit up with pure joy. He was so distracted that the Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pill slipped from his fingers and hit the floor, ignored.
He hurried out of his cave dwelling. Since the Divine Foot Skill was restricted within the Sword Cave Heaven, he resorted to Sword Escape, streaking toward his goal at maximum velocity.
Arriving at the entrance of another cave dwelling, he sent out a communication technique. With eyes full of anticipation, he paced back and forth, unable to keep still while he waited.
The stone doors opened, and a man stepped out, offering a warm smile to Li Yuanba.
“Master!” Li Yuanba cried out, struggling to contain his internal fervor.
“Yuan Ba, you have truly excelled!” Jian Wuwei remarked with a sigh of pride as he looked over his student.
Seeing that his disciple had outstripped him brought no resentment; instead, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Years ago, he had searched tirelessly for a worthy successor, yet he never suspected that Li Yuanba would ascend so rapidly and reach such heights.
Since ending his seclusion, Jian Wuwei had heard nothing but praise for Li Yuanba from the Jian Family and other sword cultivators. Even the Sword Elder, a man of notoriously high standards, had approached Jian Wuwei to insist he treat Li Yuanba well, citing the youth's immense potential and boundless future.
Li Yuanba quietly observed his master in return. Jian Wuwei’s aura had finally settled firmly at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul, and the damage from his previous battles had been fully repaired. Seeing this, Li Yuanba felt a surge of relief, knowing his master would no longer suffer from lingering injuries.
“Yuan Ba, come inside and rest!” Jian Wuwei guided his disciple into the cave dwelling. They bypassed the main hall and headed straight for the private Cultivation Room. Being welcomed into such a space was a sign of the deepest trust and intimacy.
“Master, is your recovery truly complete?” Li Yuanba inquired, his voice laced with concern. Even though his spiritual senses told him Jian Wuwei was healthy, he couldn't help but ask.
“I am fully restored. It took many years, but the time was not wasted!” Jian Wuwei replied. With a slight flick of his hand, a sharp Sword Intent manifested before them.
“I must congratulate Master on mastering the ‘Void-breaking Sword Intent’!” Li Yuanba recognized the technique instantly and spoke with genuine happiness.
“If you have already mastered it, how could I allow myself to lag behind?” Jian Wuwei said, letting the Sword Intent vanish from his fingertips. As the teacher, being surpassed so thoroughly by his student had provided a significant amount of motivation.
As a direct member of the Jian Family, he had been granted access to specific spiritual treasures designed to help one perceive the ‘Void-breaking Sword Intent’. To ensure he wasn't disturbed during his healing process, these treasures had been delivered directly to his quarters. Over five years of recovery, he had successfully gained insight into the technique. While his talent was excellent compared to most sword cultivators, he knew he still couldn't match Li Yuanba’s freakish pace.
“Master, to celebrate your return from seclusion, I have a gift for you!” Li Yuanba noticed Jian Wuwei preparing Spiritual Tea and smiled as he remembered his offering. He produced a jade box and set it before his master. The box was sealed with runes to contain the Spiritual Energy, hiding its contents from view.
Jian Wuwei accepted the gift without hesitation; in the world of Cultivation, no bond was closer than theirs. Upon opening the lid, he found two hundred Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills, all perfectly suited for the Early-stage Nascent Soul level.
The sight left Jian Wuwei stunned. Although these were intended for the Early Stage, a hoard of two hundred High-level Fourth-grade pills would be enough to make any elite cultivator from a major sect go mad with envy. These pills were enough to bridge the gap in cultivation time lost during his years of healing.
“I will take these. In exchange, I have secured a chance for you to witness the core legacy of the Jian Family at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. It is fortunate you finished your seclusion now, or this window would have closed!” Jian Wuwei said, smiling.
Li Yuanba was unfamiliar with the specifics of the Jian Family’s core legacy. As an elite sword cultivator, he had already studied the standard secret manuals available to core members of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion. However, based on his master’s tone, this particular legacy was clearly on a different level.
“This core legacy is only revealed once per century, and only for a duration of six hours. In my current state, using this opportunity would be a waste of resources, so I have designated the spot for you,” Jian Wuwei explained.
“Master, you should take such a rare opportunity for yourself!” Li Yuanba argued, shaking his head. He realized that a hundred-year event must be incredibly significant, and he suspected his master was giving up his own stroke of luck for his benefit.
“What nonsense are you talking? I am merely at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul. I wouldn't be able to grasp much from the legacy. But you are different; you have already reached the Middle Stage, and even the Sword Elder praised your mastery of the ‘Void-breaking Sword Intent’. This chance belongs to you!” Jian Wuwei barked, his eyes widening in a stern glare.
Li Yuanba felt as though he were back in his early days of training. Even though his Cultivation realm was now higher than his master's, when Jian Wuwei looked at him like that, he instinctively lowered his head and accepted the command with humility.
