Chapter 182: Teaching Formation Techniques, The Sect Leader Master Returns (3rd Update)

Ji Xuan arrived at Lu Changsheng’s cave dwelling, where Lu Changsheng had five scrolls of fire-colored scrolls laid out before him.

Master, what are you planning to do?

Ji Xuan, even with her Demon God Physique, still had to show the utmost respect and humility in front of her master.

“As your teacher, I want to reward you with a batch of Formation Maps and impart to you the knowledge of formation paths.”

Lu Changsheng first rewarded her with Formation Maps of spiritual artifact quality, while also taking his disciple through the basics of formation paths.

Formation arrays are one of the essential studies for cultivators.

Lu Changsheng gave the high-quality spiritual artifact “Fierce Fire Formation Chart” as a reward and taught Ji Xuan how to arrange the formations.

[Ding, you have rewarded disciple Ji Xuan with the high-quality spiritual artifact “Fierce Fire Formation Chart,” obtaining a hundredfold return reward for teaching a disciple: a middle-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Flame Burst Formation Map.”]

The first fire attribute Formation Map rewarded was an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

Lu Changsheng did not expect that rewarding a single spiritual artifact would return a middle-grade Immortal Artifact; the chances were too low. It would probably require triggering a billionfold return for teaching a disciple, to have a chance of directly getting a middle-grade Immortal Artifact like the one he wanted—the Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Map.

Lu Changsheng opened the second scroll of fire attribute Formation Map, the “Thunderfire Formation,” also a high-quality spiritual artifact, but it harbored the power of thunder, summoning lightning and fierce fires within the formation to slay enemies.

[Ding, you have rewarded disciple Ji Xuan with the high-quality spiritual artifact “Thunderfire Formation Map,” obtaining a thousandfold return reward for teaching a disciple: a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Thunder Gang Skyfire Formation Map.”]

This time luck was good, directly returning a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.

Next, Lu Changsheng bestowed three more spiritual artifacts, all of which returned Acquired Spirit Treasures.

Ji Xuan successively comprehended five kinds of fire formations, formally beginning her studies in formation arrays.

“Tomorrow your teacher will impart to you higher-level formation methods.”

“Yes.”

Ji Xuan, holding a pile of Formation Maps, really had no idea where her master got so many treasures of the same type.

The next day, Lu Changsheng continued to teach formation methods.

[Ding, you have rewarded disciple Ji Xuan with the low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Fire Poison Corroding Heart Formation Chart,” obtaining a hundredfold return reward for teaching a disciple: a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Ten Thousand Fire Poison Formation.”]

[Ding, you have rewarded disciple Ji Xuan with the low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Demon Fire Soul Devouring Formation Map,” obtaining a thousandfold return reward for teaching a disciple: a low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Nine Nether Demon Fire Formation Map.”]

…

Lu Changsheng rewarded five Acquired Spirit Treasure Formation Maps, and the highest grade of treasure returned was a middle-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

“I can’t even catch a glimpse of an Immortal Artifact, I wonder if among the twenty-four fire formation maps, one will turn out to be an Immortal Artifact. If not, then I can only wait until the disciple’s cultivation in the Dao Palace reaches Great Accomplishment, when I can reward her with a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure; then an Immortal Artifact will surely be returned.”

Lu Changsheng, albeit only temporarily teaching his disciple, was not at a loss, for he could accumulate a batch of Innate Spirit Treasures, which would come in handy when a return of an Immortal Artifact was guaranteed.

On the third day, Lu Changsheng once again rewarded an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

[Ding, you have rewarded disciple Ji Xuan with the high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Ten Thousand Fire Poison Formation,” obtaining a three thousandfold return reward for teaching a disciple: a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation Map.”]

The system returned a high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

Isn’t this Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons’ treasured artifact?

Lu Changsheng still remembered that Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons had once wanted to use the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation to refine Li Changye, Murong Shi, and others from the Mount Shu party.

He never imagined the system would return a Formation Map treasure identical to Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons’ treasured artifact.

The six major sects and the four Demon Sects, in addition to their sect-protecting Immortal Artifacts, also had a batch of high-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, second only to Immortal Artifacts, such as the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Formation Map and the Hell Bell, and so on.

With this one chart treasure to lay the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Great Formation, and using a fire attribute treasure as the formation’s core, the Heaven-Refining Fire Poison Great Formation can refine mountains, and strong beings in the initial stages of the Void Refinement Realm could possibly perish within the formation.

If I happen to encounter elders from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons next time, using their own formation method to deal with them, I wonder what they would think?

[Ding, the system has detected redundant gifting to your disciple; Formation Maps cannot be given out within the next month.]

“`

“…”

Lu Changsheng rewarded Ji Xuan with too many Formation Maps, and received a system prompt.

Given the repetition of rewards with the same grade of Formation Maps, Ji Xuan’s improvement was minimal; she now had dozens of Formation Maps in her hands.

“It seems I can only wait for the other disciples to return before I can continue to farm the Eight Fiends Xuanhuo Formation Maps.”

Unable to exploit a single disciple, Lu Changsheng had no choice but to turn to gifting Elixir Pills.

…

“Senior, Miss Wu, Mount Shu is just ahead.”

Shen Xiaoyao’s Mount Shu squad, having defeated many Great Demons invading Yue Country, was temporarily returning to Mount Shu for rest and brought with them the Nameless Swordsman and Princess Wu Wan’er of Yue Country.

The Nameless Swordsman, practicing Sword Flight, looked at Mount Shu, a mountain suspended in the sky surrounded by a sea of clouds, with a profound gaze, as if a multitude of past events flashed before his eyes.

Shen Xiaoyao and the others arrived first at Mount Shu’s main peak at the Record Keeping Pavilion, to report their expedition and tally Sect contributions.

Elder Zhang of the Record Keeping Pavilion, upon learning that they had killed many Great Demons and even a Void Refinement Realm powerhouse from the Demon Race slain by the Nameless Swordsman, was greatly shocked.

This was a Void Refinement Realm powerhouse from the Demon Race, equivalent to the Supreme Elders of Mount Shu!

That the Nameless Swordsman could slay a Void Refinement Realm powerhouse indicated that his cultivation was at least at the Void Refinement Realm.

“May I know your honored name?”

Elder Zhang looked closely at the Nameless Swordsman, who appeared middle-aged.

Based solely on the Swordsman’s appearance, it was difficult to ascertain his actual age.

In the Cultivation World, maintaining one’s youthful appearance or even reversing the aging process was not difficult.

Elder Zhang had never encountered this Nameless Swordsman among the six major Sects.

The Swordsman seemed more like a Jianghu Hermit Practitioner.

But for a Jianghu Hermit who did not rely on the six major Sects or ally with the four Demon Sects, reaching the Void Refinement Realm was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.

“Send for Taiyuan to see me,” said the Nameless Swordsman, sitting listlessly in a chair in the Record Keeping Pavilion, busying himself with his wine.

“This…”

Elder Zhang did not expect the Nameless Swordsman to be so arrogant, completely disregarding the face of Mount Shu, the leader of the six major Sects.

There might be Loose Cultivators in the Jianghu of the Dao Palace Realm, or even Void Refinement Realm, who disdain to join the six major Sects or the four Demon Sects, adhering to their own Dao, like the Great State Preceptor of the Xia Kingdom’s Literary Court.

But such Loose Cultivators would still need to be polite on the six major Sects’ territory.

However, the Nameless Swordsman seemed to act on a whim, casually calling out the Sect Leader of Mount Shu by title.

“I will send someone to report to the Sect Leader,” said Elder Zhang, containing his anger and considering the other’s status as a Void Refinement Realm powerhouse. He dispatched a Mount Shu disciple to notify the Sect Leader and see how he would handle the matter.

Shortly after, a dozen or so terrifying pressures descended upon the Record Keeping Pavilion.

An old man with white hair and the aura of a Dao Bone appeared, dressed in a Daoist Robe with the Taiji Yin-Yang pattern on it, accompanied by many Mount Shu Supreme Elders, each with a powerful presence.

“Greetings to the Sect Leader!”

“Greetings to the Supreme Elders!”

The many Mount Shu disciples in the Record Keeping Pavilion, including Elder Zhang, had not anticipated that a Nameless Swordsman would shock the Sect Leader and many Supreme Elders into coming. They hastily paid their respects to the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders.

Elder Zhang thought to himself, “Who exactly is this guy, and what background does he have? Could it be that he has a history with the Sect Leader, and the Sect Leader has brought several Supreme Elders to teach him a lesson?”
