221: Chapter 221 Space Technology, [Flying Sword Master], Fourth True Disciple.

"No worries, this is just our preliminary estimate. Whether it's truly worth it depends on how powerful the sword intent Fellow Daoist Tianhe ultimately creates will be."

"I think it shouldn't be lower than this, and this is what our Bronze Human Race lacks. The exchange of resources and secret methods between our Three Human Races is usually open and transparent, to avoid mutual suspicion. Frankness can reduce potential conflicts."

Wang An also thought seriously for a moment and nodded.

"Understood. Once my method is perfected, I will exchange it with the Bronze Academy."

He then continued to look at the bounties below, most of which concerned technical difficulties in various aspects of the Bronze Human Race's priestly system.

[Regarding solving the compatibility problem of carving multiple exotic beast patterns on bronze artifacts], the bounty reward is a secret method for condensing a Law Profundity.

[Regarding solving the technical difficulty of carving exotic beast patterns into flesh, blood, and bones], the bounty is two Law resources, or two Law Profundity condensing secret methods of the same level.

[Regarding the technique of using the human body as a natal artifact for refining to achieve human-artifact unity, one of the technical difficulties being the independent consciousness preservation technique], the bounty is three Law resources and three related secret methods.

Looking at these bounties, they were mostly technical difficulties that had persisted for decades or even centuries.

With Wang An's current knowledge reserves, it would be difficult for him to surpass the intermediate-level powerhouses of the Bronze Human Race in these areas.

He then gradually scrolled down, and the time gaps between the bounties became even longer.

At this point, one technical bounty caught Wang An's attention; he felt he could give it a try.

[Regarding the implementation of preliminary spatial law utilization, spatial storage technology for creating storage bags, storage rings, and other spatial equipment]

This bounty also explicitly stated that if there were some preliminary results, one could enter the grotto-heaven space within the taiyi yutian green spirit cauldron to comprehend the spatial laws and break through this technical difficulty, with all supporting resources fully provided.

Wang An noted this bounty and looked at the 7 people persistently circling the magic sword. Even though their bodies were scarred and charred, they hadn't given up.

As time passed, this discussion and exchange gradually drew to a close.

Wang An found that the many intermediate-level powerhouses present tended to start from the various functions their natal sacrificial artifacts could perform, researching more complex internal structures of artifacts and various powerful exotic beast patterns, thereby supporting higher energy utilization efficiency and the effectiveness of the Power of Bronze Sacrifice.

Essentially, they were more like Artifact Cultivators, maximizing the potential of the artifacts in their hands through methods such as sacrifice, carving, and mechanical technology.

Just like the super-large Bronze Divine Tree that enveloped the entire academy planetary system, and the large divine trees where various intermediate-level powerhouses resided, the entire academy was more inclined to absorb external theories and implement and experiment at the application level.

Just as the intermediate-level cultivators were still observing and comprehending the few individuals, thinking it impossible for them to gain any insights, an extremely faint, clear, and cold will fluctuation spread throughout the entire discussion venue.

The other 6 people didn't notice this effect at all and continued to comprehend, but for the intermediate-level powerhouses, every move here was like a bright lamp in the dark night.

Gaoyang Zhenkong said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Tianhe, I'm almost regretting letting them apprentice under you. Such excellent talent is definitely a prodigy of our War Sacrifice Dao."

Wang An observed the fate and aura of the lotus-dressed girl who had triggered the clear and cold will, using the Great Forest Wood Purple Mansion Divine Ability, Ten Thousand Wood Firmament.

He saw that the girl's aura manifested as a clear lotus, within which a tiny flying sword was slowly incubating.

"Is this the [Sword Master] fate?

Fate can be seen as a lower grade of status. From the perspective of his Qi Luck Divine Ability, Wang An could observe the life's Qi Luck symbols and fates below his own cultivation level, thereby judging the life's talent, potential, and future.

"It seems this young girl is destined to have a connection."

As the intermediate-level powerhouses watched, the girl, sensing the gazes of various powerful beings, slowly awoke from her profound enlightenment. Feeling the faint, clear, and cold will in her spirit, the girl was ecstatic.

Only then did she realize that many powerhouses were all looking at her, and her mind went blank under the pressure of their gazes.

"Come here."

A gentle voice sounded in her heart, and her chaotic thoughts subsequently cleared.

The girl then looked in the direction of the voice, which was none other than True Person Tianhe, who was surrounded by an aura of loftiness and vastness.

She hurried forward, and upon approaching, as if guided by instinct, she knelt down deeply.

"Disciple Yu Yaoqing greets Master, and humbly requests to be accepted into your tutelage."

Wang An stood with his hands behind his back, accepting the apprenticeship ceremony of his fourth true disciple. His tone was gentle yet carried a lofty and awe-inspiring aura as he slowly said.

"Now that you have comprehended a faint true intent on your own, your talent and comprehension are outstanding, enough to inherit my Tianhe Dao Lineage. You may be my fourth true disciple. Today, with all fellow Daoists as witnesses, I bestow upon you the Dao title Tianqing. May your future Dao path be clear and bright, and may you establish the Sword Immortal lineage for the Tianhe Dao Lineage, ensuring its everlasting prosperity."

Then Wang An pointed a finger at the center of Yu Yaoqing's delicate forehead.

This was the result of his deductions in the direction of sword cultivation during this period: a secret method for condensing sword intent, cultivation techniques from Qi Refining to Dao Foundation, and related Five Elements Spells.

After the information transfer was complete, Yu Yaoqing endured the pain of the sword intent's torment over this period and bowed again to Wang An, thanking him for the grace of imparting the Dao.

"Disciple thanks Master for imparting the Dao. I will surely live up to Master's high expectations and preserve the Dao lineage."

However, before she could bow again, she was gently lifted by an invisible force.

"No need for such formality. As for your injuries, I will help you recover."

He immediately waved his hand, and a milky way stream appeared, circling her body. Rich Nine Heavens Clear Qi and vitality were stimulated, and the wounds that had been unable to heal due to the sword intent quickly recovered as good as new.

Yu Yaoqing's somewhat muddled mind completely cleared, her eyes sparkled, and her entire state fully recovered.

She then consciously and quietly stood beside Wang An.

Everyone present hadn't expected the master and disciple to establish their relationship so quickly.

The few veteran intermediate-level 3 powerhouses who had been thinking about the possibility of taking in this promising talent couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

For people like them, there was no shortage of inherited disciples. However, disciples who could continue the legacy, carry it forward, and take another step further were extremely rare.

And this young girl, in less than a day, was able to comprehend this kind of true intent and sword intent that they hadn't yet fully grasped, independently comprehending a faint true intent. Her talent was unparalleled, possessing the aptitude to open a new chapter.

Looking at the intermediate-level powerhouses of the War Sacrifice Dao, especially Jiuli Bingjian, he was pounding his chest and sighing, regretting that he hadn't discovered this promising talent of the War Sacrifice Dao earlier.

Wang An saw that the discussion was almost over and that he had taken a disciple, so he planned to return to the residence arranged for him by the academy.

There was still a pile of things to do next, so he nodded to Gaoyang Zhenkong.

Gaoyang Zhenkong understood his signal and immediately dispersed the defensive array covering the entire Dao field.
