System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan had not yet fully digested the inherited information; the sheer number of flying swords required for the first few layers of the formation was already astonishing.

"To set up the perfect Ninefold Lesser Thousand Swords Formation, with your current cultivation level, you would need a total of 729 human-grade flying swords. Of course, the higher the grade of the flying sword magic weapon, the stronger its power."

Upon hearing this, even Chen Xuan, who was quite wealthy, felt considerable pressure. Seven hundred and twenty-nine advanced flying swords—how easy was that?

Seeing Chen Xuan's troubled expression, the Thousand Immortals smiled and shook their heads: "Actually, even when I go out to explore and train, I rarely set up the Ninefold Sword Formation when fighting enemies. It's good if this sword formation can be used at will, otherwise the damage to one's divine sense and mind is extremely astonishing."

"Your disciple will remember your teachings, Master," Chen Xuan replied respectfully.

The Thousand Immortals nodded and casually waved their hands, sending a booklet flying towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan caught it steadily and looked at his master with a puzzled expression.

"I witnessed the battle at Sword Stele Valley and the several sparring sessions at the Hall of Proof of the Dao. In the past few days, based on your strengths in the Dao and combined with the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation, I have compiled these sword techniques and classics for your reference and practice."

Chen Xuan looked down at the list in his hand and couldn't help but gasp. His master had selected more than three hundred different sword-path inheritances.

"This……"

Seeing his reaction, the Thousand Immortals laughed and said, "Most of these three hundred sword manuals are Heaven-rank or Earth-rank, with only three being Immortal-rank. The total cost of exchanging them is no more than one thousand merit points."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Although sword cultivators are skilled in killing, breaking through their realm is extremely difficult. These are all bottlenecks and problems that I encountered when I was cultivating the sword path in my early years. Now, I will let you avoid this detour as soon as possible."

The Thousand Immortals patiently explained, “By learning from the strengths of many schools and integrating them into your own, you can broaden your horizons and enrich your foundation. In this way, you will be able to break through your limits and reach new heights in your future trials.”

Immortal Qiandao never imagined that he would one day be so talkative to a junior. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile and continued, "If we cultivators can continuously break through, our lifespan is almost endless. When we go out to explore, which of our fellow cultivators doesn't have their own strengths? Insects and beasts, talisman making, formations, and beast taming are all auxiliary means that many cultivators practice."

“Cultivation and enlightenment are certainly key, but every time a cultivator breaks through a realm, they need a massive amount of cultivation resources. If there are no other ways to make money, the only option left is to participate in the God-Slaying Guard to capture wanted criminals and exchange them for resources.”

Immortal Qiandao shook his head helplessly, "Assisting Emperor Xuanxiao in capturing wanted criminals can accumulate merit and be exchanged for various resources, but which wanted criminal or evil cultivator who is always at large doesn't have some special skills?"

Chen Xuan listened carefully to his master's teachings and understood that his master meant that cultivators should not only focus on their main cultivation path, but also master some methods to earn source liquid.

Although the rewards for the Godslayer Guard mission are high, those wanted evil cultivators are very troublesome, and if you're unlucky, you might get killed instead.

"Disciple understands."

Seeing that Chen Xuan had grasped the concepts so quickly, the Thousand Immortals nodded with delight: "Go ahead. My second primordial spirit will remain in the sect year-round. On the first day of each month, if you have any questions about cultivation, you may come to see me."

Chen Xuan was extremely grateful. He knew that when cultivators went out, their second primordial spirit was often their trump card for survival. However, his master left his second primordial spirit in the sect to guard the sect for the sake of him, a newly initiated disciple.

"This disciple takes his leave. Master, please take care." Chen Xuan bowed respectfully, his attitude sincere.

"Go, cultivate diligently, and don't waste your talent."

Chen Xuan walked out of the mountain cave, and the stone door behind him slowly closed.

He was in a great mood at the moment. Today, he had witnessed firsthand what technique, the way, the way of the sword, and the great way were.

Although the instruction lasted only one or two hours, the gains were immense, like a sudden enlightenment, benefiting him for life.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Chen Xuan then carried his master's roster and flew towards the sect's Daoist Scripture Hall.
