30: The god-level martial arts, the Blood Sword Technique has been improved again!
“Your Highness, Saint, you’ve arrived!”
As soon as Lin Yan arrived at the Inner Sect Scripture Pavilion, the Elder guarding it immediately rose and nodded to Lin Yan with a smile.
The Scripture Pavilion was a crucial place for the Sect, so the old man guarding it was also a Golden Core-level powerhouse, thus he did not need to bow to Lin Yan.
“The Scripture Pavilion has four floors. The first floor contains Mortal Rank and Yellow grade low-rank Cultivation Techniques, the second floor has Yellow grade high-Rank and Xuan-Rank Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques, the third floor holds Cultivation Techniques above Mysterious grade high-rank but below Heaven-Grade, and the fourth floor is where Heaven-Grade Cultivation Techniques are stored.”
Clearly, this Elder knew Lin Yan’s purpose for coming here.
“Earth-Grade Cultivation Techniques are all on the third floor. Your Highness, Saint, may proceed directly.”
“Thank you, Elder!”
After Lin Yan cupped his fists and bowed to the Elder, he immediately headed towards the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
“With a peerless Genius like Dan Saint Son, our Qingyun Sect has hope for a rise in this generation!”
Watching Lin Yan’s retreating figure, the Elder’s eyes revealed a gratified smile.
The first two floors of the Scripture Pavilion were very large, but by the time one reached the third floor, the area was only about ten feet in circumference, which showed how rare these Cultivation Techniques above Mysterious grade high-rank were.
“Mysterious grade high-rank, Collapsing Mountain Seal!”
“Earth-Grade low-Rank, Silent Thunder Fist.”
“......”
“None of them are suitable for me.”
Lin Yan browsed through the Cultivation Techniques in a cursory manner, finding none that were suitable for him to Cultivate.
“Master, I sense an extremely strong aura of slaughter!”
However, just as Lin Yan was feeling frustrated, the excited voice of Blood Sword Art suddenly rang out in his mind.
“Master, it’s on the last shelf to the left!”
Following the guidance of Blood Sword Art, Lin Yan quickly found the source of the slaughter aura.
“Earth grade high-rank, Asura Sword Art!”
Lin Yan looked at the scroll in his hand, which was covered in dust, and while he felt shocked, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
He frowned because this Asura Sword Art was only an Incomplete Manual! What shocked him was that even as an Incomplete Manual, its Rank had reached Earth grade high-rank!
“An Incomplete Manual has reached Earth grade high-rank. I can’t imagine what Rank its complete Sword Art will reach? Heaven-Grade?”
Immediately after, Lin Yan looked up and found a warning written next to the shelf where the scroll was stored.
“Without sufficient perseverance and Comprehension Ability, do not attempt to comprehend this Sword Art! Otherwise, you will only become a machine that knows nothing but slaughter!”
“Master, it’s this one! I feel it’s especially compatible with me!”
“I feel that as long as I can comprehend it, my Rank will be able to improve again!”
Hearing the excited voice of Blood Sword Art within him, Lin Yan also nodded.
“Then this is it!”
As for being backlashed by the Asura Sword Art? That was simply impossible.
Not to mention the existence of Blood Sword Art, Lin Yan’s current Comprehension Ability alone would allow him to easily comprehend it.
[Blood Sword Art successfully comprehended Asura Sword Art, comprehending the Asura Three Forms!]
[Blood Sword Art gained enlightenment from the Concept of Slaughter, comprehending Slaughter Sword Intent, successfully raising its Rank to Triple Middle Stage!]
“Master! This Asura Sword Art is ridiculously powerful, it originally had eighteen forms!”
“According to my estimation, the complete version of Asura Sword Art might have reached Divine-Grade!”
Hearing the slightly surprised words of Blood Sword Art in his mind, Lin Yan was also deeply shocked.
Divine-Grade! That was a powerful Sword Art far beyond the Nascent Soul level!
It was something even Soul Transformation Stage powerhouses would fight over if they saw it!
For a moment, Lin Yan felt a bit dazed, never expecting that he would stumble upon such a huge Opportunity!
If he could collect the remaining fifteen Sword Arts in the future, wouldn’t he be able to obtain an extremely powerful Divine-Grade Sword Art?
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yan felt incredibly excited.
After leaving the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Yan went to the first floor again, comprehended the Yellow grade low-rank Sword Control Art, and then bid farewell to the Scripture Pavilion Elder.
After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Yan immediately took out his communication token and began to contact Dan Ling.
“Senior Apprentice Sister Dan Ling, gather at the foot of the mountain!”
Swish, swish! With two streaks of light flying out, Lin Yan officially embarked on his journey to the Earth Element Sect.
.......
Although the Earth Element Sect was only a small Sect on the border of the Great Yan Dynasty, it still had Foundation Establishment powerhouses overseeing it.
However, the Earth Element Sect was not very far from the Qingyun Sect, so in less than ten days, the two arrived within the Earth Element Sect’s jurisdiction.
“Who goes there, daring to trespass into our Sect?”
An Innate Realm Cultivator, holding a long spear, appeared in front of Lin Yan and Dan Ling, demanding in a loud voice.
In response, Lin Yan smiled and said,
“Please inform your Sect Master that Lin Yan of Qingyun Sect requests an audience with the Earth Element Sect Master!”
However, the moment Lin Yan’s words fell, the Innate Realm Cultivator, who had been slightly arrogant just moments before, immediately became respectful and cupped his fists in a bow, saying,
“So it is Alchemist Lin himself, please come in quickly!”
The Earth Element Sect Innate Realm Cultivator dared not neglect them and immediately ushered Lin Yan and Dan Ling into the Sect’s main hall.
“Please wait here for a moment, Alchemist Lin, I will go notify the Sect Master right away!”
Watching the Innate Realm Cultivator’s retreating figure, Lin Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“I didn’t expect my reputation to have spread even to the border, did I?”
In response, Dan Ling, who was beside him, smiled and said,
“It’s not just the border of the Great Yan Dynasty; even several surrounding Dynasties have learned of Alchemist Lin’s reputation.”
“After all, among Alchemists who can refine pills with pill patterns, throughout the entire Northern Region, there is only Alchemist Lin!”
Seeing the smile finally appear on Dan Ling’s face, Lin Yan couldn’t help but say,
“I thought Senior Apprentice Sister Dan Ling was always that serious.”
“What are you saying, Alchemist Lin? The pursuit of the Dao of Alchemy naturally requires seriousness, but at ordinary times, one should relax their mind and body, otherwise, they might suffer Qi Deviation.”
Dan Ling smiled, not at all bothered by Lin Yan’s teasing.
“Alchemist Lin’s presence in our Earth Element Sect is truly an honor for our Earth Element Sect!”
As Lin Yan and Dan Ling chatted and laughed, an old man suddenly walked in from outside the main hall, his face full of smiles as he spoke to Lin Yan.
This old man was precisely the Sect Master of the Earth Element Sect, Zhao Dian.
“Senior Zhao Dian, you flatter me. It is I, your Junior, who feels honored to be personally received by Senior.”
After a series of pleasantries, Lin Yan immediately got to the point.
“Senior Zhao Dian, I have come here to make a transaction with you!”
“Excellent, excellent!”
Upon hearing Lin Yan’s words, Zhao Dian agreed almost without any hesitation.
This was a transaction with a peerless Alchemist who could refine six-pill-pattern pills; such a heaven-sent Opportunity must be seized firmly.
Besides, his entire Earth Element Sect had so little wealth, not even comparable to a single peak of the Qingyun Sect. To be able to make such a transaction was truly a huge gain for their Earth Element Sect.
Seeing the Earth Element Sect Master agree so decisively, Lin Yan was momentarily at a loss. He had originally prepared many words, intending to negotiate with him.
In response, Lin Yan could only smile bitterly inwardly. It seemed he had underestimated the profession of an Alchemist after all.
“I have come here, actually, to borrow your Sect’s Earth Element natural treasures for a look!”
