160: The flaws of Zixia’s magic”Mom, what’s wrong?”

When Yue Lingshan entered the room and saw Ning Zhongze’s pale face, she couldn’t help but ask nervously, ”Should I go find a doctor?”

Seeing Yue Lingshan arrive, Ning Zhongze’s face showed a hint of unnaturalness and embarrassment.

Hearing about finding a doctor, Ning Zhongze immediately shook her head, ”No need, I’m fine.”

”Are you really okay? But your face doesn’t look so good, Mom.”

Yue Lingshan was a bit suspicious.

”I just didn’t sleep well last night, it’s nothing.”

Ning Zhongze quickly explained.

Such a matter, of course, couldn’t be detailed, especially to her own daughter.

”Mom, could it be that Dad did something to you last night...”

Yue Lingshan suddenly showed a knowing expression.

”What nonsense are you talking about?”

Ning Zhongze immediately admonished softly.

”Haha, alright, I’m not joking anymore.”

Yue Lingshan chuckled, sat on the edge of the bed, then suddenly frowned, sniffed her nose, and showed a puzzled expression, ”Strange, Mom, do you smell anything odd?”

”What odd smell?”

Ning Zhongze didn’t react for a moment, but then seemed to think of something, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she reprimanded in a low voice, ”Stop talking nonsense, there’s no smell. If there is, it’s probably sweat. You can open the window later to air it out.”

Apparently, Ning Zhongze knew what Yue Lingshan was referring to.

But fortunately, Yue Lingshan, being inexperienced, didn’t know what that smell was.

”Got it, Mom.”

Yue Lingshan responded reluctantly, then, as if thinking of something, suddenly turned her head and stared at Ning Zhongze, asking, ”But Mom, you and Dad have been so close lately, I wonder when you’ll give me a Junior Brother or Junior Sister?”

Ning Zhongze was startled, then her cheeks flushed slightly, and she scolded, ”What Junior Brother or Junior Sister? What nonsense are you talking about?”

”Mom, you and Dad have been inseparable lately, and your complexion... don’t think I really don’t know anything.”

Yue Lingshan snorted, holding her head high.

”At such a young age, why are you thinking such wild thoughts? I’m fine here, you can go out first.”

Ning Zhongze couldn’t quite handle Yue Lingshan’s questions and immediately said.

”I’m leaving then.”

Seeing that Ning Zhongze was fine, Yue Lingshan naturally didn’t want to stay longer.

However, after Yue Lingshan left, Ning Zhongze’s expression was a bit strange.

”Speaking of which, it seems that ’that’ hasn’t come for over a month recently.”

”Could it be!”

Ning Zhongze’s heart sank.

Her hand involuntarily fell on her lower abdomen... On the other side.

Lin Pingzhi was flipping through the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual in the backyard.

He finally reached the last page.

But when he saw the content on it, his face immediately showed astonishment.

”This, this...”

”This Cultivation Technique actually requires self-castration?”

Lin Pingzhi’s eyes widened, he clenched his fists, and his face showed an incredulous expression.

After a long time, he swallowed his saliva and calmed down a bit.

A realization then dawned on his face.

He also recalled his father’s words from back then, and his father’s attitude towards this sword manual.

He also understood why his father didn’t let him Cultivate it, why he himself didn’t Cultivate it, and why he didn’t even let anyone in the Lin family Cultivate it, or even know of its existence.

”So that’s how it is, no wonder Dad didn’t let me Cultivate it.”

”This is not a Divine Sword at all, this is clearly an Evil Sword.”

”Evil-Exorcising, Evil-Exorcising!”

Lin Pingzhi’s face was pale and extremely unsightly, muttering to himself non-stop.

To pay such a huge price to Cultivate the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual, Lin Pingzhi couldn’t make up his mind for a while.

After all, he had now largely avenged his great grudge.

Although it wasn’t by his own hand.

However, there was still a faint sense of unwillingness in his heart.

That was not his own strength after all.

As long as it wasn’t his own strength, everything would sooner or later be taken away by others.

He no longer wanted to experience the pain of losing loved ones, the pain of losing dignity, compromising, and desperately begging his enemies.

Although he had now joined the Huashan Sect and learned martial arts, his progress was still too slow.

Even the Sword Sect’s swordplay was still very slow.

Far from the rapid progress of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual.

According to the records in the sword manual, if he Cultivated it, he could reach the first-class level in just half a year.

Entering the top ten of the Jianghu.

Such a temptation made his heart pound.

”Wait a little longer!”

”Didn’t Master say that he would teach me the Zixia Divine Skill in the future?”

”The Zixia Divine Skill, as the Huashan Sect’s number one Cultivation Technique, is definitely extraordinary. If I can Cultivate it, perhaps I won’t have to Cultivate the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual.”

Lin Pingzhi thought silently in his heart.

But he still couldn’t help but practice the exquisite sword moves from the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual.

However, for some reason, these sword moves could never display their proper power.

It was as if they were about to erupt, but were weakened by several tenths by an invisible force at the critical moment.

Especially the speed, which the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual was most proud of, couldn’t even display thirty percent of its potential.

”Could it be that self-castration is truly the only option?”

Lin Pingzhi put away his sword; he had thoroughly verified the authenticity of the swordplay just now and finally understood why the Lin family ancestors had given up Cultivating this swordplay.

It wasn’t that the Lin family ancestors hadn’t thought of improving it, but that it truly couldn’t be improved.

”Little Linzi, what are you doing?”

Just then, Yue Lingshan’s clear voice came.

”Senior Sister.”

Lin Pingzhi quickly put away the sword manual.

”What are you looking at? Let me see.”

Yue Lingshan grabbed it with a curious look.

Lin Pingzhi quickly dodged.

After several attempts, Yue Lingshan pouted, snorted, and said, ”So stingy. I’ll tell Dad not to teach you the Zixia Divine Skill.”

Lin Pingzhi showed a bitter smile.

Since the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual had such an unpresentable requirement, he naturally didn’t want a third person to know about it.

”Senior Sister, don’t joke with me. But speaking of which, I still don’t know why the Zixia Divine Skill is called our Huashan Sect’s number one Cultivation Technique? Why hasn’t Senior Brother, with such talent, been taught it yet?”

As he spoke, Lin Pingzhi showed curiosity.

Yue Lingshan’s attention was successfully diverted.

”Little Linzi, don’t even think about the Zixia Divine Skill. The difficulty of Cultivating the Zixia Divine Skill is extremely high. Otherwise, why do you think only the Sect Head and his successor of our Huashan Sect are qualified to Cultivate it?”

”It’s not that the Sect doesn’t want to teach it, but that the requirements for Disciples are very high, not just talent and Comprehension Ability, but also a persistent Heart-Nature.”

”Cultivating the Zixia Divine Skill requires unwavering dedication, perseverance, and continuous Cultivation. Once there is neglect or carelessness, the Cultivation will plummet.”

”My father also Cultivated for decades, day in and day out, to achieve his current Cultivation.”

Yue Lingshan said casually.

Lin Pingzhi, hearing this, had a solemn expression and said softly, ”I didn’t expect the Zixia Divine Skill to have such requirements.”

”Otherwise, why do you think it would become our Huashan Sect’s number one Cultivation Technique?”

Yue Lingshan raised her head proudly.

”Junior Brother has been enlightened.”

Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath and said with cupped hands.

His lowered head, his gaze couldn’t help but flicker.

Because from Yue Lingshan’s words, he learned that to have the strength Yue Buqun currently possessed, one would need to Cultivate for at least several decades to achieve it.

Such speed was too slow.

However, self-castration was a major decision, and Lin Pingzhi didn’t immediately make up his mind... Late at night.

[Current World: Smiling Proud Wanderer, Xia Ke Island]

[Time until departure: 903 days (1 day in main world)]

[Luck: 420 (Can be exchanged for main body’s martial arts)]

[Current Identity: Yue Buqun]

[Current Talent: Dual Cultivation of Blessing and Wisdom (Active, 40x Comprehension Ability)]

[Cultivation: First-class]

[Martial Arts: Bei Ming Divine Skill, Seven-String Formless Sword, Five Mountains Divine Sword...]

”Luck only increased by 20 points.”

Ning Yuan glanced at it and then stopped paying attention; the increase was too small, so he immediately continued to study the Cultivation Technique.

Under forty times the Comprehension Ability, the Divine Skill progressed extremely quickly.

Ning Yuan had already deduced a complete Aperture Opening Cultivation Technique and had also begun to deduce methods for condensing the innate nine apertures.

All nine apertures are in the head, so extreme caution is necessary.

Once a mistake is made, it can lead to death or idiocy in severe cases, or deafness and blindness in minor cases.

This is also why in Beiyuan City, there are many people who enter the Early Stage of Dao Foundation Aperture Opening, but almost no one has ever heard of anyone entering the Middle Stage of Aperture Opening, the Aperture Condensation realm.

Many people who have been in the Early Stage of Aperture Opening for twenty or thirty years have not made any progress.

Because this is a gradual process; once Aperture Condensation goes wrong, even if one doesn’t die, it will make subsequent Cultivation more difficult and dangerous.

Those who manage to fully condense the innate nine apertures are invariably Geniuses or extremely lucky.

Their strength also has a chasm-like gap compared to those in the Early Stage of Aperture Opening.

What Ning Yuan wanted to do was to make the Cultivation Technique as perfect as possible, and then use his current identity to test the results.

This way, even if something went wrong, it wouldn’t affect his main body.

”So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is...”

”Aperture Condensation is actually not difficult; the real difficulty lies in the degree of control over one’s True Qi. The higher one’s control over True Qi, the higher the safety of Aperture Condensation.”

”True Qi is inherently a restless energy substance. During the Aperture Condensation process, if even a slight anomaly occurs, it will naturally cause significant damage to fragile organs like the eyes, ears, nose, and tongue.”

”And the final opening of the ancestral aperture in the glabella and the condensation of Divine Sense is even more so.”

”Once damaged, it means injury to the Sea of Consciousness, making it even more perilous.”

”Eyes and ears are fine; damage to them is just organ damage. If there’s a chance to Breakthrough to the Embryonic Transformation realm and undergo a complete transformation, they can recover. But if the Sea of Consciousness is damaged, even if one doesn’t die, there will be no possibility of further progress.”

With the subsequent Cultivation Technique, Ning Yuan’s heart was settled.

”Now I only lack enough Cultivation to proceed to the next step.”

Ning Yuan muttered to himself.

However, he was reluctant to give up such high Comprehension Ability.

In addition, he continued to study swordplay to improve his strength.

Ning Yuan stayed in the Lin Manor for a full ten days.

His Comprehension Ability once again dropped to a single digit, and only then did he emerge from his closed-door Cultivation.

And during these ten days.

Lin Pingzhi was also distraught.

The appearance of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual left him in a state of hesitation and struggle.

Yet he was always unable to make up his mind.

These past few days, Madam Wang had also noticed Lin Pingzhi’s change.

”Pingzhi, what exactly happened?”

”Ever since you obtained the sword manual, why have you been so distraught?”

Madam Wang couldn’t help but ask.

”You’ve already gotten the sword manual, why haven’t you Cultivated it?”

Madam Wang looked puzzled.

Lin Pingzhi was a bit embarrassed.
