36: Chapter 36 Top-Grade Pills

Luoyun Peak.

Emerging from seclusion, Lin Shen piloted his Flying Sword and arrived at Luoyun Peak immediately.

This Luoyun Peak was Mo Shenggu's territory.

As his Personal Disciple, having spent two whole years in seclusion, now that he had emerged, it was only natural for him to come and pay respects to his Revered Master.

On one hand, it was to show his attitude.

It proved that even though he was now Mo Shenggu's Personal Disciple, he was still as grateful and respectful to him as before.

On the other hand, now that his seclusion had ended and his cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Peak, he naturally needed to report to Mo Shenggu and display his Aptitude.

After all, he was only twenty-two years old now.

A Qi Refining Peak at twenty-two years old—placed throughout the entire Chiyun Valley, aside from those Prodigies with dual Spiritual Roots, how many people could reach the Qi Refining Peak at such an age?

Such astonishing Aptitude would surely make Mo Shenggu feel immensely gratified, valuing him even more, and perhaps even rewarding him with extra Cultivation resources.

Lin Shen thought with a pleasant feeling in his heart.

"Revered Master, your Disciple Lin Shen requests an audience."

He came to Mo Shenggu's courtyard and knocked on the main door.

"It's Shen'er, come in!"

Mo Shenggu's voice sounded from within the courtyard, and before Lin Shen could push the door open, a wisp of spiritual power brushed past his face as the courtyard gates opened automatically.

Lin Shen nodded and walked in with a respectful look.

In the courtyard, beneath a peach tree, Mo Shenggu was leisurely lying on a recliner, holding a teapot in his hand with one leg crossed over the other, looking thoroughly carefree.

"Disciple Lin Shen greets Revered Master!"

Lin Shen hurriedly walked forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

At the same time, he said, "Over the past two years, this Disciple has been diligently focused on Cultivating in seclusion. Emerging from seclusion today, I have specifically come to pay respects to Revered Master, and I hope Revered Master will forgive me for failing to fulfill my filial duties over these past two years."

Hearing Lin Shen's words, Mo Shenggu cast his gaze on him and sensed his cultivation at the Qi Refining Peak Realm, nodding with a face full of gratification.

Immediately afterward, he sensed something unusual, because he felt that Lin Shen's eyes were sharper, and there was even a trace of Sword Qi emanating from his body.

This couldn't help but make Mo Shenggu quite surprised, and his body on the recliner instantly straightened up a bit. "You have comprehended Sword Qi?"

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Lin Shen smiled and nodded, saying, "When breaking through to Qi Refining Stage 9, I had another realization in my heart. The Startling Thunder Sword Technique has already reached Perfection, and from it, I comprehended a trace of the embryonic form of Sword Qi. If I Cultivate painstakingly given time, I will definitely be able to comprehend a complete attribute Sword Qi."

This was something he deliberately leaked out.

His purpose was precisely to display his current Aptitude and value.

But at the same time, Lin Shen also kept a trump card.

He only revealed a trace of Sword Qi and did not fully unleash his Startling Thunder Sword Technique which had already reached the Perfection level.

If he were to directly display the Perfection-level Startling Thunder Sword Technique, it would no longer be just showing his Aptitude and value.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Many in the Foundation Establishment Realm had never comprehended a Perfection-level Startling Thunder Sword Technique; once exposed, the Aptitude he displayed would be far too monstrous.

Sometimes, having superior Aptitude was a good thing that made people value you, but being too monstrously talented would instead be disadvantageous and attract numerous disputes...

"Good, good, good! Truly worthy of being Revered Master's beloved Disciple! With such terrifying sword dao Aptitude, you will surely Revered Master a Perfection-level lightning-attribute Sword Qi in the future. Even if you have an Opportunity, it is not impossible to comprehend a trace of the embryonic form of Sword Intent, greatly increasing your strength and making fighting opponents of a higher Realm effortless!"

Mo Shenggu exclaimed 'good' three times. Hearing Lin Shen's confirmation, he couldn't help but stand up from the recliner excitedly.

Lin Shen, this Personal Disciple, had truly given him too many surprises. Not only did he break through to the Qi Refining Peak at the age of twenty-two, but he also comprehended a trace of the embryonic form of Sword Qi.

With such superior Aptitude and terrifying sword dao Aptitude, if he did not fall in the future, he would definitely achieve Foundation Establishment, and even the Golden Core Realm was not out of the question.

Furthermore, as long as Lin Shen broke through to Foundation Establishment and mastered the Perfection-level lightning-attribute Sword Qi, coupled with his highly destructive lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi, with the two complementing each other, he would surely become a formidable combat power within the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"All of this is thanks to Revered Master's brilliant guidance!"

Lin Shen spoke with a smile on the side, attributing all the credit to Mo Shenggu's proper instruction: "If it weren't for Revered Master's meticulous guidance, no matter how good this Disciple's sword dao Aptitude was, it would have been impossible to so smoothly comprehend a trace of the embryonic form of Sword Qi."

"As the saying goes, fine horses are common, but discoverers of fine horses are not."

"If this Disciple is that fine horse, then Revered Master is that discerning and skilled discoverer."

Lin Shen added a couple more sentences with a smile.

These words of his made Mo Shenggu feel completely elated, enjoying it immensely in his heart.

Even the sincerity in Lin Shen's tone made Mo Shenggu mistakenly believe that it was truly his own merit in teaching, making him that rare discoverer in the world.

However, he knew very well in his heart.

Perhaps he had some merit in terms of guidance, but in reality, the most important thing was Lin Shen's terrifying sword dao Aptitude.

Otherwise, if he were really that good at instructing, his eldest Disciple Senior Brother Shen Qianfan and his granddaughter wouldn't have failed to comprehend even a trace of the embryonic form of Sword Qi until now.

"You rascal, you certainly know how to talk!"

Mo Shenggu smiled, pointed at Lin Shen, and looking at his current cultivation, contemplated slightly before saying, "You have now broken through to the Qi Refining Peak, and it is time to start polishing your Foundation. Only by polishing your Foundation more deeply at the Qi Refining Peak stage will your chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment be greater. At the same time, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, your own heritage and Foundation will also be deeper and more formidable than other Cultivators."

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Lin Shen nodded earnestly and said, "This Disciple will definitely polish the Foundation earnestly and strive to break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, and will never disappoint Revered Master's high expectations!"

These matters concerned his future achievements and prospects, so Lin Shen naturally did not dare to be careless.

If he recklessly wanted to break through to Foundation Establishment without full preparation, even if he succeeded by fluke, his Foundation would definitely be unstable, which would have a huge impact on his future growth upper limit.

Therefore, being at the Qi Refining Peak now, his very first thought was not how to break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible, but rather to first polish his Foundation to Perfection.

Only in this way could he substantially increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, while also increasing his Foundation and heritage after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

"Mm, Cultivate well!"

Mo Shenggu nodded. He thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch and handed it to Lin Shen, saying, "This is the top-grade guyuan pill. The Medicinal Pill has a full color and is free of any medicinal toxins, making it most suitable for polishing the Foundation at the Qi Refining Peak Realm."

Handing this bottle of top-grade guyuan pill to Lin Shen, to prevent Lin Shen from thinking he was stingy, Mo Shenggu specially added, "This top-grade guyuan pill is extremely precious. Because it has no medicinal toxins, the monthly output in the entire Chiyun Valley is extremely small, and even Revered Master finds it difficult to be allocated a share every month."

"Many thanks, Revered Master!"

Hearing Mo Shenggu's words, Lin Shen nodded gratefully and hurriedly received the bottle of top-grade guyuan pill with both hands.
