Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 294 The He siblings also become guest retainers
“Brother He, your Thunder Roar Sword is quite powerful, and it’s clear that it’s extremely well-suited to your own attributes.”

"However, to achieve the state of oneness between man and sword, one still needs a higher-level lightning-attribute sword technique."

"After all, this Thundercloud Sword is only a low-grade Xuan-level sword. It can help you comprehend the sword spirit, but it is difficult to help you reach the third realm."

"In addition, I happen to have a decent Thunder Sword Intent."

"I'll forge you a third-tier lightning-attribute sword later, which will also help you comprehend the sword intent of the third realm."

As Zhou Ling spoke, he gestured for He Zijian to unleash his strongest Thunder Roar Sword Qi.

Zhou Ling had always treated He Zijian as a friend, so he didn't hide anything from him.

He roughly informed He Zijian of the situation based on the intermediate observation and intermediate analysis.

After all, the results from the intermediate analysis are usually pretty accurate.

As for the Thunder Roar Sword Technique that He Zijian cultivates, due to its quality, it is difficult for him to comprehend the sword intent of the three realms.

Of course, Zhou Ling made him unleash his strongest sword strike.

This is also just in case.

If He Zijian fails to find a suitable lightning-attribute sword technique next.

He wouldn't mind expending his divine soul to deduce the subsequent situation of this Thunder Roar Sword Technique through the [Illusionary Realm Simulation].

With this more advanced sword technique, given He Zijian's talent, it was only a matter of time before he comprehended the three realms of sword intent.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, He Zijian nodded. What Zhou Ling said was exactly what he wanted to hear.

Originally, his cultivation level was higher than Zhou Ling's, but after Zhou Ling reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the gap between them kept widening.

Now we know that catching up with him is almost impossible.

Therefore, he adjusted his mindset and humbly sought advice from Zhou Ling.

After all, Zhou Ling is now an inner court instructor at the Nine Heavens Sword Academy.

The disciples he taught were all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, in June, Zhou Ling won the championship in the competition among the four major academies, demonstrating a powerful state of unity between man and sword.

There were rumors at the time that he was the number one sword cultivator among the younger generation in Qingyang Immortal City.

So there's nothing shameful about asking him for advice.

He Zijian then channeled his magic power, and the lightning sword in his hand surged with lightning.

The sword energy flashed with lightning, like a thunderstorm gathering from the heavens, or like purple lightning flashing, giving people an extremely powerful and vast pressure.

[You are watching Thunder Roar Sword Technique, Intermediate Analysis +1]

Zhou Ling's eyes seemed to flash with lightning. Through intermediate analysis, he roughly understood He Zijian's situation in cultivating the Thunder Roar Sword Technique.

He said in a deep voice, "The Thunder Roar Sword Technique takes killing as its sword intent. It seems like a good idea for you to go to another world to explore and hone your sword intent!"

"However, the Thunder Roar Sword Technique requires a purer sword intent. As long as you concentrate all your strength into a single sword strike, its power may reach an even higher level!"

The Thunder Roar Sword Technique has a total of six swords. He Zijian used them one by one, which made it impossible for him to unleash its full power.

He Zijian was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhou Ling's words.

This was something he had never imagined.

Lei Xiao has six swords, each more powerful than the last, so he uses them according to their power levels.

But she still followed Zhou Ling's instructions.

He gathered all his magical power and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

Suddenly, a dazzling and blinding bolt of lightning burst forth from the Thunder Light Sword in He Zijian's hand, like a silver lightning bolt, accompanied by a deafening and violent thunderclap.

It roared fiercely, like a raging silver dragon.

A deafening roar resounded!
The immense power caused everyone else in the family to look towards the plaza.

"Such powerful thunderous sword energy!"

Chu Xing and the others gasped in surprise.

At this moment, this thunderous sword light was more than twice as strong as the original sword energy.

"It really worked! Thank you for your guidance, Brother Ling. Would you be willing to take me as your disciple?"

Although this sword strike consumed a great deal of energy, He Zijian felt extremely refreshed and clear-headed, and his understanding of the Thunder Roar Sword Technique had also increased.

In a moment of inspiration, he bowed to Zhou Ling.

Although he had already entered the inner courtyard of the Flying Dragon Battle Academy, he did not become a disciple of any other instructors.

Therefore, he does not have a master yet, which is one of the reasons why he cannot reach the mastery level in cultivating the Thunder Roar Sword Technique.

After all, even other sword cultivators who have reached the third realm would find it difficult to discern the nature of this Thunder Roar Sword Technique.

Zhou Ling naturally couldn't tell either; it was just the effect of his talent.

"this!"

Zhou Ling was caught off guard by He Zijian's sudden move.

In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme.

Although Zhou Ling is still young, he has already comprehended the three realms of swordsmanship.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Nine Heavens Sword Academy call him Senior.

Even if he were to accept He Zijian as a disciple, that would be perfectly normal.

However, Zhou Ling had no such thoughts. He Zijian was his friend, and they had been friends since Lingxia Immortal City.

If I become a disciple later, it will feel awkward to see someone being so respectful to me every day.

He shook his head and said, "Brother He, let's forget about the apprenticeship."

"As for your relationship with me, if you have any doubts, I will do my best to resolve them for you!"

"Furthermore, your main focus is on lightning, which takes a powerful and forceful approach, and it is somewhat different from my swordsmanship!"

"Although I haven't entered the third realm yet, once I do, the power of my lightning-attribute swordsmanship will definitely be formidable!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, He Zijian nodded and did not insist.

"Zhou Ling, how about my brother and I become guest retainers in your Zhou family? That way, we'll have a place to stay in Qingyun Immortal City!"

At this moment, He Lingyun said with a slight smile.

She had a crush on Zhou Ling since she was a child.

However, since Zhou Ling and Wang Xin had a better relationship, she didn't think too much about it.

Now, Zhou Ling's growth rate has far surpassed that of other people her age.

They have even established their own family and are now the chief administrator of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

Their future achievements are limitless.

Both siblings have successfully established their foundations and entered the inner courtyard.

After their cultivation reaches the late Foundation Establishment stage, they will also have to leave the academy.

Given the current situation, becoming a guest retainer of the Zhou family would be a good choice.

"That's what I want!"

Zhou Ling nodded with a smile.

He Zijian and his sister are definitely not weak.

He Zijian is eighteen years old and has reached the third level of Foundation Establishment.

He Lingyun is sixteen years old and has reached the first level of Foundation Establishment.

This level of cultivation is not bad even for disciples of Nascent Soul families like Li Yu.

Based on today's [intermediate analysis], He Zijian's lightning-attribute swordsmanship has a high probability of leading him to comprehend the three realms of swordsmanship in the future.

Furthermore, the bloodline of the spirit beast Haoyang Bird in He Lingyun's possession is also quite high.

My original beast flame came from this Haoyang Bird.

The reason why Beast Flame chose to merge into Haoyang Bird's body is because of its high bloodline and huge growth potential.

Zhou Ling conservatively estimated that the Haoyang Bird was probably a demon beast with a terrestrial bloodline, and it might become a fifth-order great demon in the future.

Putting aside their potential, the key point is that the two of them are familiar with him.

I understand their personalities, so I can rest assured!
"Okay, then it's settled!"

He Zijian laughed heartily.

Becoming a guest retainer of the Zhou family is also a good choice.

"If you have any needs regarding compensation, just let me know!"

Zhou Ling also smiled.

He Lingyun is a beast tamer, and has relatively abundant resources for cultivation.

He Zijian is of the lightning attribute, so once he enters the Foundation Establishment stage, the resources he needs will be hard to find.

After all, lightning-attribute spiritual items are extremely rare, and even if you encounter one, the price is outrageously high.

Otherwise, with He Zijian's talent, he wouldn't have only reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

"it is good!"

He Zijian nodded without standing on ceremony. Then everyone left the square and returned to the hall.

That evening, Zhou Ling hosted a banquet to celebrate He Zijian and his sister becoming guests of the Zhou family.

He Zijian was also quite moved.

Ten people from Lingxia Immortal City came to the Four Great Daoist Academies.

Zhou Ling, who was initially the least favored, actually achieved the greatest success.

Not only in terms of cultivation, but also far surpassing the others.

Their identities have already undergone tremendous changes.

In just over three years, he rose from an outer disciple of the Taoist academy to the position of Director of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

No one could have predicted this.

It seems that no one but Zhou Ling could do it.

Of course, since he has become a guest advisor, he should be able to play a role.

Zhou Ling couldn't think of anything to ask the siblings to do for the time being.

But if we let the siblings stay in the Zhou family and do nothing...

They were also upset.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhou Ling decided to have Chu Xing cooperate with He Zijian to establish a guard team within the Zhou family.

Responsible for inspecting the Zhou family's safety.

Of course, the official purpose is to escort the treasure in the future.

After all, as the workshop grows, its business will not be limited to Qingyun Immortal City.

So we still need to be prepared first.

He Zijian was appointed as the team leader.

As for He Lingyun, Zhou Ling said that he planned to establish a spirit beast garden in the future and let her manage it.

However, this is still in the planning stages.

Anyway, that's how it's arranged.

He also told He Lingyun that if she had time, she could bring in a spirit beast to be raised at the Zhou family's home.

As for the spirit beast garden, a piece of spirit land will be designated north of the spirit fields.

With this arrangement, the He siblings rightfully became guests of the Zhou family.

However, with the expansion of the workshop and the planning of the spirit beast garden...

The Zhou family's ancestral lands are now clearly insufficient.

The spiritual land surrounding the family is quite good, and Zhou Ling is planning to expand the family's territory further.

His plan is to buy up all the land, which spans over a hundred acres, from his family's estate to the Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

Generally speaking, such a large area of ​​sacred land cannot be acquired without sufficient military merit.

But now that he is the Chief of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, things are much easier.

Don’t say anything else.

The fourth-tier Fire Fiend Sword alone earned him a considerable amount of military merit.

After all, it's used for territorial expansion.

Moreover, he has a significant advantage in the exchange.

After all, if other cultivators want to purchase this spiritual land, they still need the Dao Academy's approval.

The Taoist temple would not easily agree.

However, he is still an instructor at the Taoist academy and has a good relationship with Dean Zhong and others.

Naturally, there will be no obstacles.

However, this sacred land is quite large, so you still need to have enough military merits to get there.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling felt helpless; time was becoming increasingly scarce.

······.

In the evening, after everyone finished their banquet, they all went home.

The two courtyards of the Zhou family hospital are where Zhou Ling's family lives.

The outer courtyards are where the guest retainers reside.

After chatting with Wang Xin for a while, Zhou Ling went to the cultivation room.

He sat cross-legged on the futon and took out the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation given to him by Dean Gong to study.

After a long time.

He roughly understood why Dean Gong had chosen this sword formation.

Because this Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation is profound and mysterious.

Not only is it incredibly powerful, but more importantly, it's a perfect match for him.

Furthermore, the way it is used requires understanding the Five Elements Sword Intent.

By using the Five Elements and Myriad Phenomena method, the Yang of the Five Elements is condensed, which is the Sun Sword.

Another method involves using the five elements to condense the Yin of the five elements, which is the Moon Sword.

Although Dean Gong specializes in wood-attribute swordsmanship, the power of his Five Elements Swordsmanship is not low.

After gaining a general understanding of the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation, Zhou Ling knew that if this sword formation were to be fully formed, its power would be no less than that of a fourth-order sword formation.

It's even a notch above his Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

"Perhaps Dean Gong's idea of ​​comprehending the sword of heaven and earth through the Five Elements Sword Intent comes from this Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

He knew that the Five Elements Sword Intent could give rise to other sword intents.

The Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation is formed by combining the five elements to condense the sword intent of the sun and moon.

To achieve a more profound state in which the five elements of sword intent are in harmony.

This kind of sword formation requires extremely close coordination and similar swordsmanship attributes.

This will greatly help both of them in their understanding of swordsmanship.

"However, this sword formation doesn't look so easy."

Looking at the various sword techniques within the sword formation, Zhou Ling frowned.

Although he had already comprehended the Five Elements Sword Intent and achieved the unity of the Five Elements.

But this time the sword formation is to gather the Yang of the Five Elements, which is the Gangri Sword Intent.

This actually leans more towards fire-attribute sword intent.

It's somewhat different from a pure combination of the five elements.

In other words, his original combination of the five elements was a kind of coordination.

He now wants to break this cooperation and gather another kind of sword intent that can cooperate with Dean Gong.

It doesn't seem too difficult.

But gathering the Yang energy of the Five Elements is not so easy.

First, one needs to utilize the Five Elements Sword Intent, integrate it into the sword formation, sense the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, and incorporate the essence of the sun and moon into the sword intent, transforming it into one's own sword intent.

After completing this step, the sword formation is used to create a cycle of the five elements and the coexistence of the sun and moon, thus evolving into the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Domain, which can achieve tremendous power.

This process requires not only that both people comprehend the Five Elements Sword, but also that they cooperate extremely well.

Mutual understanding, complementary and mutually reinforcing sword intent, etc.

If there is even the slightest mistake, the power of the Five Elements Sword Formation will be greatly reduced.

This situation made Zhou Ling somewhat worried, fearing that he might actually drag Dean Gong down with him.

After all, for him, there seemed to be no loss even if he failed.

But this reward is a Nascent Soul Pill, which must be extremely important to Dean Gong.

"Dean Gong's decision to send me into battle shows her trust in me! I certainly can't let her down!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

Having thought of this, he stopped thinking about it.

He immediately activated the [Illusionary Realm Simulation] and entered the illusionary realm to carefully study the sword formation.

After deducing and comprehending the sword formation, he began to try to cultivate it.

"The Five Elements give birth to all things, all things form heaven and earth, and heaven and earth condense the Dharma forms of the sun and moon."

Zhou Ling chanted the incantation for the Five Elements Sun and Moon Sword Formation, immersing his mind in it.

Time passed slowly, and as the illusion unfolded, Zhou Ling gradually entered the state of mind.

Five elements of sword energy surrounded him, and a faint phantom of a sword sun gradually condensed.

The five elements generate each other, converging into the metal element of Yang!
Zhou Ling regarded himself as the eye of the Golden Sun Sword, condensing the Five Elements Sword Sun, refining the Five Elements Sword Intent, and transforming it into the Golden Sun Sword Domain.
