Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 299: Chapter 296: Steady Improvement

”Not bad. It seems your Comprehension is quite good.”

”I have said all that I, your master, needed to say. From here on, you must walk your own path.”

”When you advance to the Soul Emergence Third Layer, I will give you another lecture on the Dao.”

”Of course, don’t be in a rush to raise your Cultivation Realm. If you have time, you can cultivate a few more self-protection techniques.”

”The path of Cultivation in the Soul Emergence Realm is long. At this level, self-protection becomes especially important...”

As for teaching Shen Changchuan,

Master Wandering Dragon found it to be a remarkably easy task.

As expected of a genius in Cultivation Techniques, he had a thorough understanding of all aspects of Cultivation,

and his foundation was incredibly solid.

He understood some problems almost instantly,

requiring no extra effort from Master Wandering Dragon at all.

This undoubtedly made him even more satisfied with Shen Changchuan.

With this boy’s talent, aptitude, Dao Heart, and disposition,

if he didn’t fall midway,

he was certain to have a place among the top-tier experts of the future!

”It’s all because of Master’s excellent teaching...”

”Alright, I believe that’s the third time you’ve said that. There’s no need to be overly modest...”

”Work as hard as you can. Although I founded the Dragon Cloud Sect, its foundation is ultimately far inferior to the main Sect.”

”Pass the Immortal Sect’s joint entrance competition as soon as possible and enter the Immortal Sect to continue your Cultivation. That will be beneficial for your future path...”

”Only by entering the Immortal Sect to practice your Cultivation will you be qualified to encounter a much wider world.”

Master Wandering Dragon patted Shen Changchuan’s shoulder,

offered a few simple words of advice,

and then departed.

When it came to teaching disciples, Master Wandering Dragon had his own unique technique.

He would point his disciples in the right direction and highlight their mistakes; that was enough.

As for their future accomplishments,

that all depended on them.

’Having a famous master, or rather, a powerhouse, to personally guide you really makes a difference...’

’If I had to polish it on my own, it would have taken at least three months of hard work just to stabilize my Soul Emergence Realm!’

’But Master pointed out the problems and solutions directly, saving me from countless detours in stabilizing my Realm!’

More than ten days passed.

Feeling the restlessness in his Magical Power completely recede, replaced by an incomparably solid foundation,

Shen Changchuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, his heart filled with joy.

In just ten short days, his Cultivation Realm had been completely stabilized.

Moreover, he no longer had any doubts about the path ahead.

At least until he cultivated to the Soul Emergence Third Layer,

he foresaw basically no more problems.

Without this guidance, relying solely on his own exploration, Shen Changchuan felt that independently cultivating to the Soul Emergence Third Layer would have cost him several years of needless detours.

At that moment,

he recalled Master Wandering Dragon’s final words.

’Increase my strength as much as possible and perform well at the Immortal Sect’s entrance competition, huh...’

’That’s right. Having a famous master’s guidance makes a world of difference.’

’Although Master is one of the Seven Immortal Sect Sons of the Yuqing Immortal Sect, he’s ultimately still of a younger generation. Who knows how many old monsters are in the Immortal Sect.’

’If I want to make greater progress, I need to step onto a bigger stage and seek guidance from more powerful experts!’

A thought surfaced in Shen Changchuan’s mind,

and his eyes flickered.

’Then it’s decided.’

’My next goal,’

’is to increase my strength as much as possible, then perform exceptionally well at the Immortal Sect entrance competition in the coming years, and earn the Immortal Sect’s focused nurturing!’

In a short time,

a rough plan had already formed in Shen Changchuan’s mind.

After leaving his master, Master Wandering Dragon’s, cultivation abode,

Shen Changchuan dove headfirst into the Scripture Pavilion.

He prepared to cultivate more magic,

and enhance his combat abilities.

With Master Wandering Dragon’s special permission, all Tier One and Tier Two Skills in the Scripture Pavilion were open to him, and they didn’t cost any Sect Contribution Points.

This undoubtedly filled Shen Changchuan with great joy.

After a simple self-assessment,

Shen Changchuan decided to start by learning the Tier One Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.

’The progress bar panel is the greatest golden finger I rely on to rise!’

’The Perfection Traits that appear after a magic reaches Perfection are incredibly important to me!’

’Although Tier One Techniques lack power, their sheer number will allow me to accumulate enough Perfection Trait Experience!’

’As long as I accumulate enough Perfection Trait Experience, in the future, I can become an unparalleled demon in the cultivation of magic! No technique will have a threshold for me. I’ll understand them at a glance and master them with a single attempt!’

’In the future, I might even be able to cultivate an incredibly powerful and difficult magic to Perfection in a short time, allowing my strength to far surpass others!’

Gazing at the progress bar panel that only he could see, Shen Changchuan’s heart swelled with fighting spirit, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

After so many years of exploration, Shen Changchuan had roughly figured out some of the characteristics of this progress bar panel.

First, once a magic was learned on the panel, it was permanently recorded; the progress bar wouldn’t decrease even after long periods of not practicing it.

It was precisely because of this trait that back when Shen Changchuan was weak, he was able to raise a magic’s progress bar to 100% through constant practice.

Second,

and most importantly,

was the Trait Experience gained after cultivating those magic techniques to Perfection!

This experience was almost absurdly powerful. It could directly reduce the difficulty of cultivating similar types of magic, and this experience could be continuously accumulated.

The more Perfection Trait Experience one accumulated,

the lower the difficulty of cultivating magic of the same system!

And this experience is never consumed!

By now,

when Shen Changchuan cultivated a Tier One Sword Magic, he could reach the Minor Achievement stage of over 40% completion just by looking at it a few times and practicing a little!

’After advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm, my Divine Sense has greatly expanded, and my control over Magical Power has deepened.’

’As a result, the speed at which I cultivate Tier One Techniques will also increase significantly.’

’Even an ordinary Soul Emergence Realm Cultivator only needs two or three days to cultivate a Tier One Technique to Perfection.’

’Now that I have a massive accumulation of Perfection Trait Experience from magic, this speed will only be faster!’

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Changchuan’s eyes,

and he immediately extended his Divine Sense into a Jade Slip to examine the cultivation method within.

「Three hours later,」

in an empty clearing,

Shen Changchuan pointed casually, and an earthen-yellow longsword shot out like a laser beam,

instantly splitting a huge boulder in the distance in two!

And at this moment,

gazing at the 100% progress bar next to the magic named Sharp Earth Sword on his panel,

a smile couldn’t help but spread across Shen Changchuan’s lips.

An immense sense of joy welled up in his heart...
