Chen Ye gestured to the Iron Sword behind him for Li Yanfeng to see:
"This sword of mine is rather heavy. Therefore, the sword technique I seek must be powerful yet not lack nimbleness. A Tier One Upper Grade will suffice."
However, at this moment, Chen Ye felt a bit conflicted.
His Iron Sword was so heavy, could it really be used as a Flying Sword?
Li Yanfeng pondered for a moment after hearing this.
There were many Tier One Upper Grade Flying Sword Techniques on Purple Cloud Peak, but finding one that balanced both power and nimbleness was not easy.
He said seriously, "How can there be a perfect solution in the world? If you want both, it certainly demands high difficulty in practice and a considerable level of talent, think it over carefully."
The high difficulty in cultivation did not affect Chen Ye, who quickly nodded.
Li Yanfeng furrowed his brows,
He believed he had already made himself very clear, yet this steward in front of him was still such a fool?
Does he really think he has such great talent? If he did, how could he still be a Third-class Steward?
Li Yanfeng said no more, lest this steward get angry, thinking he was being mocked, and turn to someone else.
After all, he still needed to support his daughter Li Qiuyun’s cultivation...
Li Yanfeng took out a cyan-colored Jade Scroll, explaining:
"I see that this Sword Artifact of yours is a standard Low Tier Magic Sword from the Spirit Treasure Sect. It can be controlled with Spiritual Power, but it’s best to switch to a Flying Sword..."
"Within Purple Cloud Peak, there are seven Tier One Upper Grade Flying Sword Techniques. This Cyan Wave Sword Technique is the first among them, and is not inferior to the Flying Sword Technique of the Refining God Sect. Back in the day, even True Man Bai Li practiced this technique, but with his talent, he could barely reach the 5th Layer in his youth, with your kind of aptitude..."
As he spoke, Li Yanfeng couldn’t help but fall back into his old habits.
In the past, he had often spoken too much and lost business handed to him on a plate.
Fortunately, this Spirit Plant Master’s attention was quite peculiar:
"Instructor Li, even this Tier One Upper Grade Magic is recorded on a Jade Scroll?"
Li Yanfeng breathed a sigh of relief:
"In the Late-stage Qi Cultivation, you can begin to use Divine Sense. For the Flying Sword path, you must combine it with Divine Sense to cultivate to a profound realm. Since it concerns Divine Sense, naturally, only a Jade Scroll can carry its content."
"Of course, if you don’t have Divine Sense, it’s no matter; the Cyan Wave Sword Technique is divided into six layers, and you can practice the first three layers with just Spiritual Power."
Chen Ye contemplated for a moment. Since he had a proficiency panel, the difficulty of cultivation was not an issue for him.
With this in mind, Chen Ye made up his mind: "Thank you, Instructor, for your guidance. I will choose this Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique."
Li Yanfeng, seeing him decide without hesitation, didn’t know whether to say this person had firm resolve or was just a fool...
"Very well." Li Yanfeng nodded slightly, "Since you have chosen, this Jade Scroll is yours. Selecting a Sword Technique, I as an Instructor, offer guidance without needing Contribution Points. However..."
He then changed his tone, becoming more solemn:
"The Cyan Wave Sword Technique is extremely difficult to enter. Its intricate requirements for Spiritual Power manipulation and Flying Sword control far exceed ordinary sword techniques. If you just fumble around on your own, forget entering the hall, even stepping into the first layer could take months of diligent effort and it’s very easy to go astray, making future advancements difficult."
Li Yanfeng spoke harshly, but Chen Ye was unfazed.
He had a proficiency panel, which allowed him to progress as long as he practiced.
But...
If someone were to guide him, he could gain proficiency even faster.
For example, when he previously read the insights from the Herb Peak disciples, he gained considerable proficiency in Spirit Plant skill.
Seeing Chen Ye listen patiently,
Li Yanfeng stroked his beard, saying against his will: "I see you’re sincerely pursuing the path, not a restless type. If you wish, I can spare some time each day to personally guide you in the basics of the ’Cyan Wave Sword Technique.’ However, such personal teaching requires Contribution Points. Twenty Contribution Points will grant you one two-hour session each day, for a total of seven days, enough for you to grasp the basics of this technique."
"As an instructor on Purple Cloud Peak, I’ve studied four of the seven Upper Grade Sword Techniques, having reached the 3rd Layer in the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique!"
Chen Ye immediately agreed, though he touched his waist pouch, which still had seventy Contribution Points.
So he coughed and asked in a low voice, "But... Instructor Li, how much does this Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique cost?"
Li Yanfeng’s eyelid twitched: "In the Market, a Tier One Upper Grade Flying Sword Technique would easily cost a hundred Spirit Stones, let alone a secret transmission from the Sect? A hundred and twenty Contribution Points!"
Chen Ye still had two hundred and twenty-four Spirit Stones, but he was far from having enough Contribution Points.
And the Medicinal Garden task from Baiqi Garden had a reward of fifty Contribution Points, but it wasn’t going to solve the immediate problem.
However, solutions were always more than difficulties.
Although Spirit Stones couldn’t be exchanged for Contribution Points, however...
"Instructor Li, how about this? I’ll give you Spirit Stones, and you help me make up for the shortfall in Contribution Points?"
