Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lu Xuan looked again, he saw Zhang Wuji being moved to a praying mat in the True Martial Hall. Sitting cross-legged behind him was an old man with long white hair, beard, and eyebrows. His palm was pressed tightly against Zhang Wuji’s back as he transferred his pure inner energy into Zhang Wuji’s body.
In a flash, Zhang Wuji’s forehead was continuously forcing out cold white mist. Looking at his face again, it was much better than before. It seemed like Zhang Wuji had escaped the crisis.
The scene before him made Lu Xuan uneasy. He stood at the side and did not say a word as he watched Zhang Sanfeng help Zhang Wuji to suppress the frost poison.
A moment later, Zhang Sanfeng used his inner energy to counter the frost poison in Zhang Wuji’s body. He quickly withdrew his hand and stood up straight. He beckoned a few Wudang Sect disciples to carry Zhang Wuji to the back of the hall for treatment.
Lu Xuan stood at the side and watched from the beginning to the end. He frowned and remained silent. He did not know Zhang Sanfeng’s personality and hence decided not to do anything.
After dealing with Zhang Wuji’s matter, Zhang Sanfeng finally calmed down. He sized up Lu Xuan who was silently waiting at the side. A glint flashed across his eyes and his expression became much more amiable.
“Young brother, did you send Wuji to the True Martial Hall?” Zhang Sanfeng stroked his white beard and asked.
“Yes,” Lu Xuan replied politely as he bowed slightly with a cupped fist.
Zhang Sanfeng and the founder of the Emei Sect, Heroine Guo Xiang, were at the pinnacle of their generation. They had long stepped down since then. Lu Xuan’s manner of greeting was truly very polite.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan’s respectful and humble greeting, Zhang Sanfeng’s gaze landed on him once again. He looked at him with slight surprise and then nodded slightly before saying, “Thank you for your help today. If you didn’t arrive in time, Wuji might not have been able to make it.”
“Grandmaster Zhang is too polite. I am Wuji’s brother. How can I not help him when he is in trouble?” Lu Xuan shook his head and didn’t accept the appreciation immediately, instead, he replied humbly and politely.
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to be so loyal and honest. It is Wuji’s greatest honor in his life to know you.. However, I can see that your cultivation technique isn’t from my Wudang Sect. However, your realm is about to reach the Posterior Realm. With such intelligence and talent, you are truly a cultivation genius.”
At the end of the day, Zhang Sanfeng was over a hundred years old and an experienced elder. He had sharp eyes and could see through everything. He knew Lu Xuan’s foundation very well.
[Beep! Game Notification: The favorability of the Wudang Sect’s leader Zhang Sanfeng towards the Player Lu Xuan is now +50. The reward of the Wudang Sect’s entry quest will now be +50% gain.]
When the system notification sounded, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but secretly rejoice. Even though he didn’t know what the “Wudang Sect’s entry quest will now be +50% gain” referred to, it was definitely a good thing to have +50 favorability from Zhang Sanfeng!
“Not bad, young brother. Although you are a junior who has just come into contact with martial arts, you have already mastered the three fundamental arts. Your cultivation has also reached the sub-perfection stage of Apprentice Martial Artist Realm. Young brother, you are really similar to me when I was young.”
Zhang Sanfeng spoke with a smile. Perhaps it was because Lu Xuan had saved Zhang Wuji, but he didn’t know why he found Lu Xuan more pleasing to the eye.
After the destruction of the Song Dynasty by the Mongols and after the founding of the Mongol Imperial Court, it was as if the martial arts world of the Central Plains had gradually become uneasy.
The young generation’s minds are filled with cultivation, breakthroughs, and increasing their combat abilities. They all think about becoming famous in the pugilistic world and to gain profits. They do not care about the safety of the common people. It is rare to meet someone as loyal and kind as Lu Xuan who also has astonishing talent.
If Lu Xuan knew what Zhang Sanfeng was thinking, he would probably laugh out joyfully.
Loyal and honest?
What a joke. Lu Xuan didn’t agree that his personality could be compared to those righteous people.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan’s heart began to stir. He reckoned that there was a chance for him to find out more about the secret. He didn’t hesitate and asked respectfully, “This young one has something that I’m not too sure about. I would like to ask Grandmaster Zhang for an explanation. Are there any other stages after sub-perfection Apprentice Martial Artist Realm? How should one make progress in low-level arts?”
When Zhang Sanfeng heard the question, he placed his hands behind his back and explained with a smile, “At the Apprentice Martial Artist Realm, the arts are divided into five levels: Fundamental, Low-level, Mid-level, High-level, and Perfection. After the three fundamental arts reach maximum proficiency, all attributes +5. After the three low-level arts reach maximum proficiency, all attributes +15. After the three mid-level arts reach maximum proficiency, all attributes +30. After the three high-level arts reach maximum proficiency, all attributes +50. After the three perfection arts reach maximum proficiency, all attributes +100!”
“Also, only those with earth grade talent can cultivate mid-level arts. Only those with heaven grade talent can cultivate the high-level arts. In order to cultivate all arts to perfection-level, one would require the legendary divine grade talent.”
“Moreover, the sub-perfection stage of the Apprentice Martial Artist Realm doesn’t represent the pinnacle of the Apprentice Martial Artist Realm. This old taoist had previously broken through to the mid-perfection stage of the Apprentice Martial Artist Realm. Moreover, I can confirm that mid-perfection is still not the end of the martial dao.”
Zhang Sanfeng explained in detail. Lu Xuan was secretly overjoyed, as he knew clearly that what he heard today was something many players did not know. It was about the secrets of martial dao. However, Lu Xuan’s expression did not change because of this. He maintained his humble tone and asked, “May I ask Grandmaster Zhang, how to reach mid-perfection in the Apprentice Martial Artist Realm…”
“After the four basic attributes surpass 500, it will be reached. In my opinion, young brother, you are a genius in martial dao. As for the stage above mid-perfection, I estimate that it will need to be explored by the hot-blooded youths like you.”
Zhang Sanfeng said with a hint of melancholy. After all, time passed quickly and he had already gone past his pinnacle state.
“Thank you for answering my questions, Grandmaster Zhang.” Lu Xuan was shocked but did not show it.
During the cultivation process, one had to have a solid foundation in the early stages. Only then would one be able to advance with ease in the later stages of cultivation.
Zhang Sanfeng had broken through to the mid-perfection stage of Apprentice Martial Artist Realm and he was now the strongest martial artist in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. As for Lu Xuan? Where would his pinnacle stop?
However, Zhang Sanfeng’s statement had put Lu Xuan in a conflict.
Only players with earth grade talents and above were qualified to learn mid-level arts, while high-level arts would need heaven grade talent or even divine grade talent.
Lu Xuan wasn’t sure if he could fulfill such strict conditions…
However, he could not resist the temptation of having all his attributes increased by 50 points after reaching 100% proficiency with three high-level arts!
After Grandmaster Zhang explained the secrets of martial dao, Lu Xuan immediately understood and secretly planned to grind on monsters.
The current him had several buffs, the EXP gained from killing monsters was 50 times that of normal players. He could improve rapidly while he was still having the buff.
However, just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly smiled and asked him to stay.
“Young brother Lu Xuan, if you don’t mind this set of old bones, I’m very willing to offer some guidance to you on your martial dao cultivation.. Would you consider it?”
