Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1328: Chapter 710: Accepting a Disciple

The Great Cultivator Lou is precisely such a Sword Cultivator, though this doesn’t mean he’s not powerful.

The Flame Sword Intent is an exceptionally destructive Sword Intent, and under the blessing of the Flame Rules Power, it can obliterate everything.

Just this small distance allowed Li Yuanba to truly feel the Flame Rules Power. For him, it wasn’t much use, but for his original form, Li Shiming, it was an enhancement in his comprehension of the Flame Rules.

The Great Cultivator Lou’s Sword Escape ended, and he brought Li Yuanba to a cave abode.

In the hall of the cave abode, an Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator was sitting cross-legged with half of his body appearing bizarrely flattened.

This was a Nascent Soul Cultivator; on a lower-level cultivator, such injuries would be almost certainly fatal.

"Master Li, he is my son, I implore you to save him!" The Great Cultivator Lou bowed and said.

Li Yuanba suddenly understood why the Great Cultivator Lou was so anxious.

The higher the cultivator’s level, the greater the cost to pass on their lineage.

For a cultivator, a son means not only cultivation technique inheritance but also bloodline inheritance.

Li Yuanba wasn’t surprised that the Great Cultivator Lou would seek him out first. Besides being an Alchemy Master, the fact that he possessed the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills was not a secret.

He sensed the Sword Cultivator’s injuries, and the situation was extremely serious. Half of his physical body, from bones, meridians, to muscles, had all been crushed to pieces, only the skin remained intact, or else the Sword Cultivator’s body wouldn’t even stay whole.

This was just on the surface; he could sense that the Nascent Soul within the Sword Cultivator was also half flattened.

The Sword Cultivator must have had some life-saving Spiritual Objects to forcibly suppress his injuries, allowing him to return alive.

Li Yuanba first took out an Early-stage Nascent Soul Fourth-grade High-level Healing Spirit Pill, then, after some thought, took out a Fourth-grade Advanced Limb Regeneration Elixir as well.

The Sword Cultivator’s condition was dire, the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills weren’t all-powerful either.

It required multiple methods; the injuries were too exaggerated.

If the injuries were simple, the Great Cultivator Lou could have handled it himself and wouldn’t need to ask Li Yuanba over.

When the Great Cultivator Lou saw the two Spirit Pills Li Yuanba had taken out, gratitude flashed in his eyes as well.

Even though Li Yuanba could refine Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills himself, it didn’t mean the value of healing Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills was any less.

Even if a cultivator brought herbs to Li Yuanba to refine healing Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills, the cost would be many times more than refining ordinary Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills.

Li Yuanba placed the two Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills into the mouth of the Sword Cultivator, then cast multiple ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills in green light onto the Sword Cultivator’s body.

He instantly used the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills ten times, the maximum number he could visibly perform.

With the combined effect of the Fourth-grade Advanced Healing Spirit Pill, the Fourth-grade Advanced Limb Regeneration Elixir, and ten uses of ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills, the Sword Cultivator’s flattened body began to fill out.

Within the Sword Cultivator’s body, the Nascent Soul was also undergoing restoration.

"Junior Master Lou, I need to rest for some days, and after my ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills recover, I will come back for further healing!" Li Yuanba said to the Great Cultivator Lou.

"Master Li, I truly don’t know how to thank you!" The Great Cultivator Lou, sensing his son’s condition, let out a breath and said, feeling a weight lifted from his heart.

Although the Sword Cultivator’s injuries weren’t fully healed, the fatal injuries had turned into moderate ones, and the influence of the two Fourth-grade High-level Spirit Pills hadn’t ended yet; they would continue to have their effect.

Even without Li Yuanba’s subsequent treatment, the Sword Cultivator’s injuries could self-recover.

The Sword Cultivator opened his eyes at this moment, although severely injured, his consciousness was clear.

"Thank you, Master Li, for your life-saving grace!" The Sword Cultivator, ignoring his injuries and enduring the pain, bowed to Li Yuanba and said.

"No need for formalities!" Li Yuanba waved to stop the Sword Cultivator’s movement and said.

"This is my son, Lou Wu!" The Great Cultivator Lou introduced with a smile.

He originally intended to say that Lou Wu was of similar age to Li Yuanba, suggesting they could befriend each other.

But as the words reached his lips, he had to stop.

Although Lou Wu had reached the Early-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator under his guidance at a young age, Li Yuanba, at the same age, was already at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The gap between them was at least two hundred years.

Moreover, from Li Yuanba’s various achievements in battle, Li Yuanba’s combat prowess was exceptional even among Nascent Soul Middle-stage Cultivators.

However, he still hoped for Lou Wu to get closer to Li Yuanba, as it related to Lou Wu’s future.

Even as a Great Cultivator himself, he couldn’t help but consider more for his son.

"Master Li, Lou Wu has followed me since childhood and hasn’t officially acknowledged a master. May I ask if you would accept Lou Wu?" The Great Cultivator Lou asked directly.

This kind of matter couldn’t wait, on one hand, no cultivator had yet thought of entering the tutelage of Li Yuanba, primarily because Li Yuanba was too young. Even most Nascent Soul Early-stage cultivators were older than Li Yuanba.

On the other hand, now was when the Great Cultivator Lou could be of most help to Li Yuanba; although it wasn’t coercion, it added some leverage.

Li Yuanba was taken aback; he hadn’t considered taking a disciple himself.

Throughout his journey, he had a master, Jian Wuwei, whose greatest help to him was introducing him to the ’Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion,’ while the help in other aspects was very limited.

One could say he entirely relied on himself to achieve his current accomplishments.

He had never thought about the matter of inheriting his own skills, mainly because he was too young and it wasn’t the time to consider such things yet.

But looking at Lou Wu and considering his own status within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, as a core cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it might be time to take a disciple.

Besides, Lou Wu’s father was the Great Cultivator Lou, and even if he accepted Lou Wu, he wouldn’t need to invest much effort in teaching, and it could also prevent other Sword Cultivators in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion from joining his tutelage.

"Lou Wu, are you willing to be my disciple?" Li Yuanba asked Lou Wu.

"Lou Wu is willing, disciple greets Master!" Lou Wu, very astute, bowed immediately and said.

Lou Wu knew his father would never harm him, so having him acknowledge a master must have been well thought out.

Moreover, he knew of Li Yuanba, one of the strongest talents in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, favored multiple times by the Sword Elder, and also an Alchemy Master.

"I don’t have any gifts on me, consider these Spirit Pills as gifts then!" As a first-time master, Li Yuanba was in a good mood. He checked his soul crystal ring and finally took out ten jade bottles and said.

Lou Wu wasn’t unfamiliar with good things. Since his cultivation started, with a Great Cultivator as a father, everything was the best.

If it weren’t for the nature of being a Sword Cultivator requiring substantial combat to temper himself, giving him extremely tenacious will, he might indeed have turned into a profligate second-generation cultivator.

He wasn’t short of Nascent Soul Early Stage Spirit Pills; the ones he had were enough to cultivate him to the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak.

However, these were gifts from his master and he could only accept them.

When he used his Divine Sense to examine the Spirit Pills in the jade bottles, his expression froze momentarily, eyes full of incredulity.

Each of the ten jade bottles contained ten High Grade Fourth-Grade Nascent Soul Early Stage Spirit Pills, and the variety of high-grade spirit pills in the ten jade bottles were all different, over half were ones he had never seen before.

The effect of consuming a Spirit Pill for the first time is particularly beneficial. The value of the Spirit Pills in his hand, even if added to all his Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine, wouldn’t amount to a fifth of their value.
