Chapter 387: Joint Compet.i.tion

“Master, I’ve yet to ask what this joint compet.i.tion is about.”

Victor let out a sigh of relief and calmed the restless spiritual power in his body. Then, he turned to look at the great elder.

Three days had pa.s.sed since Victor learned that he was going to represent the great elder’s faction and partic.i.p.ate in the joint compet.i.tion with Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling.

During these three days, the great elder guided Victor and Lian Hua’s cultivation day and night. What surprised Victor even more was that, in order to allow the two of them to increase their cultivation faster, the great elder did not hesitate to sacrifice his cultivation to use the Wedding Dress technique on them.

As the name implied, the Wedding Dress technique was a cultivation technique that used one’s own cultivation to help others cultivate. Usually, it was a cultivation technique that the family elder, who was about to die from illness, would perform on the younger generation.

The Wedding Dress technique consumed a huge amount of the user’s energy. At best, the user’s cultivation base would regress, and at worst, the user’s soul would be injured. Generally speaking, very few people were willing to perform the Wedding Dress technique for others.

However, the great elder actually did not care about the side effects of the Wedding Dress technique at all and helped Lian Hua and Victor raise their cultivation base. This allowed Victor’s impression of this old man to improve greatly.

However, what made Victor somewhat embarra.s.sed was that this did not have any effect on his cultivation base, and the effect on Lian Hua was also extremely limited.

After all, Victor was a core formation cultivator to begin with, and the great elder’s qi dynamics and spiritual power were not as strong as Victor’s. As for Lian Hua, she was already at the peak of the spiritual pedestal realm and was only one step away from the core formation realm. Unless Lian Hua found her own will… Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to make any progress.

However, it was precisely because of this that Victor and Lian Hua could display greater strength.

Overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

“The two of you have just entered the sect this year, so you don’t know much about it. Every three years, the sect will open a secret realm with the other sects. On one hand, it is to test the cultivation of our sect’s disciples. On the other hand, it is to satisfy the vanity of us old fellows, so that we can rule out the top disciples.”

“Secret realm?”

“That’s right. When the patriarch of the Fire Sect was touring the five plains, he found a broken secret realm. The environment inside is different from that of the five plains. In particular, there is an ore called the Blood Source Ore. It can help cultivators break the shackles and make up for the flaws in their foundation. It’s very precious.”

“I see. But if that’s the case, why do we have to enter the secret realm with other sects? Wouldn’t it be better for us to monopolize it?”

“Of course, that’s what the patriarch thought. That’s why he brought it back to the sect. Unfortunately, opening the secret realm requires three nascent soul cultivators to work together. In the early years, when the Fire Sect was strong, there were readily three nascent soul cultivators in the sect. Unfortunately, in recent years, the sect declined. After the sect master died, the Fire Sect does not have any nascent soul realm cultivators anymore. Only the grand patriarch was able to intimidate those who coveted the Fire Sect. Therefore, in recent years, we had no choice but to work together with the other sects. Of course, they would have to pay some compensation to get a portion of the Blood Source Ore.”

“I understand. Thank you, master, for your clarification.”

“It’s no bother. Besides, I didn’t hesitate to use the Wedding Dress technique to get you in. I did it for my own selfish reasons. You were born with enormous strength, and are the best choice for body cultivation. The Blood Source Ore can also greatly increase the power of your qi and blood. Therefore, this is a challenge but also an opportunity for you.”

“I understand. Thank you, master.”

“Don’t thank me yet. As I’ve mentioned, I chose you for my own selfish reasons. I only hope that in the inner sect compet.i.tion next year, you can help your senior sister, Nalan Lengling, become the champion and obtain the Rose Sword for my faction.”

“Master, I heard from you that w.a.n.g Hongyu is very strong. Even senior sister is not his match. How can I help senior sister to win?”

“That’s why we have to see how much you can improve in this compet.i.tion.”

The great elder sighed and slowly stood up, sinking into his memories.

“25 years ago, I became the great elder. Since then, the Rose Sword has always been in my faction. At that time, your eldest senior brother, who is now Elder Lin, was my proudest disciple.

“Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circ.u.mstances, he had no choice but to take over the management of the Pharmacy Department. Since then, my faction has never produced any stunning disciples.

“Now, I have finally met Nalan Lengling, you and your older sister. Without a doubt, you are all rare talents in the Central Plains. If I can become the champion and take back the Rose Sword, my wish can be considered fulfilled.”

Hearing this, Nalan Lengling slowly opened her mouth and said, “Master, don’t worry. I will definitely become the champion of the inner sect compet.i.tion!”

“Nalan Lengling, you’re a good child. Master is very happy that you have such thoughts.”

The great elder nodded. Then, he returned to Victor and Lian Hua’s side and let out a breath of turbid air.

“Continue.”

“Master, using the Wedding Dress technique continuously will affect your cultivation,” Nalan Lengling said worriedly.

“It’s alright. Back then, my master also performed the Wedding Dress technique on me. That was how I was able to improve so quickly. Now, it seems mandatory for me to perform the Wedding Dress technique on you.”

After saying that, the great elder let out a m.u.f.fled grunt and released his Qi to help Lian Hua and Victor cultivate.

However, this time, Victor noticed something unusual.

The Wedding Dress technique used the user’s qi and experience and help the recipient to open up their spirit veins, consolidate their cultivation, and breakthrough their shackles.

Usually, after the qi and spirit energy entered the body of the recipient, the remaining imprints should be wiped clean to prevent leaving any hidden dangers.

However, this time, not only were the imprints not removed from the qi that entered Victor’s body, it even carried a wisp of the great elder’s soul!

Of course, Victor did not think too much about it. After all, using the Wedding Dress technique consecutively was extremely damaging to the user’s body, and it also had a huge impact on the soul.

With this thought in mind, Victor casually erased that strand of soul and devoted himself to cultivation.

As for Lian Hua, she naturally also noticed this. After all, when comparing the power of the soul, even Victor was not her match. Otherwise, Lian Hua would not be able to use the zither as a medium to forcefully condense souls that were about to dissipate.

After a day of cultivation, the qi and blood power that Victor displayed had already reached the middle stage of the spiritual pedestal realm. It was even comparable to some final stage spiritual pedestal realm cultivators who paid no attention to the cultivation of qi!

As for Lian Hua, her talent was displayed. After discussing with Victor, she displayed the strength of the spiritual pedestal realm. It could be said that her progress was rapid.

As for Nalan Lengling, other than breaking through, it was very difficult for her to make any further progress. She could only consolidate her cultivation as much as possible during these few days, and at the same time, master the cultivation technique.

However, there was something strange about it. For some reason, Nalan Lengling felt that the spiritual power in her body was constantly agitated. Although it was not extreme and she could still control it, this was something that had never happened before.
