Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1434: Chapter 1430: The Gifted Technique

”Junior Sister,” Xiao Ruoling softly called.

”Coming,” Shen Hanyue floated over the wall and landed in front of them.

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Princely Heir, you’ve returned. I will go inform the Palace Master.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Tell them I’m going to visit the Palace Master.”

”Alright.” Shen Hanyue agreed, and then floated over the wall and disappeared.

Xiao Ruoling softly said, ”What could the Palace Master want with you?”

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly became vacant, and moments later, he smiled.

Xiao Ruoling asked, ”Is it good news or bad news?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The Palace Master wants to gift me a set of Spirit Venerable Martial Arts.”

Xiao Ruoling was surprised, ”Such good fortune?”

”The Palace Master doesn’t want to owe me a favor,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Spirit Venerable Martial Arts is exactly what you need right now, husband. The Palace Master is truly helping in times of need.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

”Will you accept it?”

”Let’s accept it,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I indeed need it right now.”

He looked at Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu blinked her almond eyes in confusion.

Xiao Ruoling also looked at Zhou Qingyu.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”When the Heaven-Reaching Sect’s Spirit Venerable Martial Arts can be opened depends on when Qingyu can become a Venerable. Let’s take the Purifying Soul Pill tonight then.”

”Yes.” Zhou Qingyu nodded, ”Master, when I become a Venerable, it relates to...?”

Chu Zhiyuan then explained to her.

After listening, Zhou Qingyu hesitated, ”Master, am I still far from becoming a Venerable? Will it take a long time?”

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly became vacant.

A moment later, he returned to normal, nodded, ”With the help of the Purifying Soul Pill, it will take eleven months.”

Zhou Qingyu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Eleven months to become a Venerable?

She then became skeptical.

Am I really that capable?

”Becoming a Venerable in eleven months.” Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly, ”You are indeed a prodigy.”

She smiled, ”The Palace Master seems quite envious.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly.

If he hadn’t acted decisively, using both soft and hard tactics to bring her under his wing forcefully.

Then Master Lu would have poached Zhou Qingyu, bringing her into the Profound Yin Palace.

Shen Hanyue appeared gracefully, ”The Palace Master is here.”

”This is really something!”

Chu Zhiyuan helplessly opened the courtyard door, standing outside to await.

Although he was a Spirit Venerable, he was not enough to look down on the Palace Master of the Profound Yin Palace.

Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, and Zhou Qingyu followed, arriving at the courtyard entrance.

Within just a few breaths, four beautiful maidens surrounded Lu Qingfeng as she gracefully approached.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists, ”Greetings, Palace Master.”

Lu Qingfeng clasped her fists, ”Mr. Chu, no need for formalities; let’s talk inside.”

”Please,” Chu Zhiyuan stepped aside.

Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, and Zhou Qingyu clasped their fists to salute, calling her Palace Master, and then addressed the other four female elders as well.

Zhou Qingyu looked at them in wonder.

Unexpectedly, they were so young, and they were the elders of the Profound Yin Palace.

Upon entering the courtyard, they arrived at the pavilion.

The four elders and Lu Qingfeng sat by the table, Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Qingfeng sat opposite each other.

Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, and Zhou Qingyu stood behind Chu Zhiyuan.

Shen Hanyue served tea and water.

”Mr. Chu, congratulations on stepping into Spirit Venerable,” Lu Qingfeng smiled, ”At such a young age, it’s truly incredible.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and thanked her.

Lu Qingfeng said, ”We’ve specially chosen a gift to congratulate Mr. Chu on achieving the Spirit Venerable status.”

”Palace Master, there is no need,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”As it’s not like we’re outsiders, there’s no need to be so formal.”

”Indeed, we are akin to family, but proper congratulations should still be given,” Lu Qingfeng smiled, ”It’s a small token, not enough to show our respect, I hope Mr. Chu won’t mind.”

As she spoke, she reached out.

A maiden in a dark robe took out a dark green jade box from her sleeve, placing it on the stone table before Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng gently pushed it forward.

”This is...?” Chu Zhiyuan curiously looked.

The Super Sense had already seen inside, there was a jade pendant, a Cang Huang jade pendant.

The jade pendant was covered with a soft light, unexpectedly blocking the Super Sensing Illumination.

Chu Zhiyuan was greatly astonished.

With his current Super Sensory Evolution, there were few forces in the world that could block it.

”This is an ancient artifact,” Lu Qingfeng said, ”Passed down from Ancient Times, it contains a martial skill.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”An Ancient skill?”

”That’s right,” Lu Qingfeng said, ”It’s a sword technique, but the threshold is too high, only Spirit Venerables can practice it.”

”Has anyone in your palace mastered it?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Lu Qingfeng nodded, ”They say a Spirit Venerable mastered this sword technique and its power was amazing, not inferior to our palace’s Profound Yin Divine Sword.”

She opened the jade box, pushing it forward.

”What sword technique is it?” Chu Zhiyuan picked it up and looked at the Cang Huang jade pendant inside.

The Super Sense still couldn’t illuminate within it.

He picked it up, and as he examined it closely, his eyebrows suddenly raised, shaking his head with a smile, ”Interesting.”

Lu Qingfeng was puzzled, ”Why?”

”This predecessor is quite amusing,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”He actually hid a restriction inside, needing enough cultivation to enter.”

Lu Qingfeng’s expression changed slightly, frowning, ”It should be the work of Senior Ding.”

She shook her head helplessly, ”Senior Ding acted unpredictably, making him impossible to anticipate.”

Chu Zhiyuan’s body suddenly emitted a Seven-Colored Light, dazzling and brilliant.

A ray of Seven-Colored Light shot from his palm, drilling into the Cang Huang jade pendant.

The Cang Huang jade pendant instantly lit up, followed by a ”clang” of clashing gold and weapons.

The Seven-Colored Light in Chu Zhiyuan’s palm brightened again.

The surrounding women retreated together, even Lu Qingfeng couldn’t sit upright, sliding out of the pavilion.

The women were all pushed out by an invisible force, continuing to be pushed back until they nearly fell into the flowerbed, where they barely stopped.

Lu Qingfeng concentrated on watching Chu Zhiyuan.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue guarded Zhou Qingyu, preventing her from flying away.

Zhou Qingyu had difficulty breathing, fortunately, Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue separately placed their hands on her shoulders, channeling cooling breaths into her.

She widened her almond eyes at Chu Zhiyuan, watching the dazzling Seven-Colored Light like a divine being.

Chu Zhiyuan was suddenly enveloped in Seven-Colored Light, then it contracted swiftly, returning to normal as he placed the Cang Huang jade pendant against his forehead.

The Cang Huang jade pendant instantly emitted radiant Seven-Colored Light, shining brightly, indescribably brilliant.

As Zhou Qingyu’s heart skipped a beat, she realized there wasn’t a violent force emerging; everything was calm.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly opened his eyes, removed the now dim Cang Huang jade pendant, and placed it back in the jade box.

He stood and clasped his fists, ”Palace Master, my apologies.”

Lu Qingfeng shook her head with a smile, ”As expected of a Spirit Venerable.”

They too rose from the stone seats they had been pushed to.

”Senior Ding’s strength, I had to exert myself fully just to barely withstand it,” Chu Zhiyuan looked apologetic, ”I couldn’t spare attention for anything else, but finally saw the Qiankun Sword Technique.”

”How powerful is the sword technique?” Lu Qingfeng asked.

”It’s quite amazing,” Chu Zhiyuan marveled, ”It really broadened my horizon; indeed, Spirit Venerable Martial Arts are unique, with a distinct method to activate them.”

Martial Skills of Spirit Venerables offer a Divine Transport Method unlike Martial Skills of Venerables.

Controlling Qi with God to activate martial skills, not just using Qi to do so.

Adding another method makes it more intricate, yet the power is more astonishing, exceeding Venerable Martial Skills.

He faced great disadvantage when using Venerable Martial Skills against Spirit Venerable Martial Skills.

This Qiankun Sword Technique arrived quite timely, providing an added layer of protection for himself.

”As long as it’s effective.” Lu Qingfeng clasped her fists, ”Then we’ll leave you be, farewells.”

As she spoke, she turned to leave.

Chu Zhiyuan handed the jade pendant to Xiao Ruoling, who placed it back in the box and approached Lu Qingfeng to present the jade box.

The maiden in the dark robe took it, sliding it back into her sleeve.

Chu Zhiyuan personally escorted Lu Qingfeng and the others to the courtyard gate, watching them depart.
