Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Superior Grade Innate Spirit Treasure (6th Update)

The second Flying Sword returned was still not an Innate Spirit Treasure.

There is one more chance for reward return today.

This time, Lu Changsheng gave the top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Gale Sword” returned by the system to his disciple.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Lian” with the top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Gale Sword,” and received a thirtyfold return reward for apprenticeship: a lower-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Shadowless Sword.”] [Today’s rewardable opportunities -1, remaining reward opportunities are o.] A lower-grade Innate Spirit Treasure?

This Flying Sword is naturally quite a decent magical treasure, but since Lu Changsheng already possessed a sword of the same class, the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, the Shadowless Sword could only serve as a backup.

It seems that all three opportunities today did not yield a satisfactory magical treasure.

Lu Changsheng could only wait until tomorrow.

However, he could still impart his power to Lian through initiation today.

[Ding, you have transferred too days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple “Lian,” and Lian has actually gained 20 days of Heavenly Cultivation. You received a two hundredfold return reward for the apprenticeship: 4,000 days of Heavenly Cultivation.]

Lu Changsheng stepped into the eighth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, and with the power-infused initiation to Lian, he suddenly gained an additional 4,000 days of Heavenly Cultivation, once again filling his somewhat lacking Dantian Qi Sea with spiritual energy, bringing him one step closer to the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm.

Lian’s cultivation was at the second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, and it was already quite uncomfortable to endure just 20 days of Lu Changsheng’s cultivation.

The gap between the eighth layer of the Dao Palace Realm and the second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm was vast.

Once Lian refined the power imparted by Lu Changsheng this time, eight or nine out of ten chances, her cultivation could reach the third layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The next day, Lu Changsheng summoned Lian and tried to draw magical treasures again.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Lian” with a lower-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Bloodstained Sword,” and received a two hundredfold return reward for the apprenticeship: a top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Python Blood Sword.”]

[Today’s rewardable opportunities -1, remaining reward opportunities are 2.]

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Lian” with the top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Python Blood Sword,” and received an eightyfold return reward for apprenticeship: a lower-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “Phoenix Blood Sword.”]

[Today’s rewardable opportunities -1, remaining reward opportunities are 1.]

The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s return multiple is random. After giving five times, Lu Changsheng did not receive a return of an Innate magical treasure that satisfied him.

Meanwhile, Lian had already acquired five Flying Swords, and along with the one she already owned, Lian now had six Flying Swords.

Just how many Flying Swords does the master plan to give me?

Lu Changsheng took out the top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Pure Yang Sword.”

If today is not the day, then he would continue trying on the third day.

[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple “Lian” with the top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure “Pure Yang Sword,” and received a three thousandfold return reward for apprenticeship: a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure “True Martial Sword.”]

[Ding, today’s rewardable opportunities -1, remaining reward opportunities are 0.]

This time, he finally drew a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure!

Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures are commonly used by the six Sect Leaders. After six reward attempts, Lu Changsheng’s Qi Destiny exploded, at last yielding a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

In Lu Changsheng’s Dao Palace Realm, a sharp longsword hung suspended, the space around it warping, with faint traces of the Taiji diagram emerging.

The quality of this Flying Sword was even higher than the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword.

“Master, I really have too many Flying Swords…”

Lian held a pile of Flying Swords, looking aggrieved.

Flying Swords are not consumables like elixir pills; Lian simply couldn’t use them all up.

“Alright, for the next while, your master will not reward you with any more Flying Swords.”

Lu Changsheng, having received the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure True Martial Sword, no longer kept fleecing his disciple Lian for all she was worth.

In the future, I can gift Lin Qingzhi with a Flying Sword, generate a spare top­grade Innate Spirit Treasure, or even try to roll for an Immortal Artifact with a very low probability.

[Ding, the system has detected redundancy in the items you have awarded your disciples. You cannot gift a Flying Sword for one month.]

Lu Changsheng repeatedly generated the same type of magical treasures, and it seemed even the system couldn’t stand it anymore.

Lu Changsheng found out that there were no limits on the number of consumables such as elixir pills, talismans, and spirit stones he could gift, but treasures were not consumables—gifting too many was unnecessary as his disciples couldn’t use all of them.

Now, he could only wait a month before trying to roll for an Immortal Artifact for his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.

“My luck’s quite good, the last awarded return happened to be a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.”

After Lian had left, Lu Changsheng took out the True Martial Sword and brandished it a few times.

“Use one battle simulation opportunity.”

Lu Changsheng utilized the system’s battle simulation feature to test the power of the True Martial Sword.

The system simulated a Dao Palace Realm eighth-layer Demon Sect Elder. “Myriad Swords Return to Origin!”

Lu Changsheng used an Earth Rank high-grade swordsmanship. Sword Qi surged abruptly, with thick streams of Sword Qi appearing, tens of thousands of Sword Qis actually split into black and white colors, forming a massive Taiji Diagram of yin and yang!

Although it lacked the wind and thunder augmentation of the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, the Sword Qi triggered by the True Martial Sword was even more formidable, an overwhelming sense of oppression came forth.

“Go!”

With a lead from the True Martial Sword in Lu Changsheng’s hand, tens of thousands of black and white Sword Qis darted forward at extreme speed, flying towards the Demon Sect Elder!

The Dao Palace Realm eighth-layer Demon Sect Elder brought out a black iron ring magical treasure in an attempt to block but was obliterated by the Taiji Diagram formed by the black and white Sword Qis.

“The power of a top-grade Innate treasure is indeed extraordinary. The consumption, however, is also quite exaggerated, no wonder the various Sect Leaders only use Innate treasures.”

After executing Myriad Swords Return to Origin, a large amount of Lu Changsheng’s spiritual energy was depleted.

It seems necessary to keep the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword as a backup treasure, that would be sufficient for regular use, and only against formidable enemies would he need to bring out the True Martial Sword.

Lu Changsheng surmised that other Sect Leaders probably did the same.

Unless facing a peerless master, they would make use of the Immortal Artifacts that serve as the cornerstone of their sect; otherwise, for regular use, Innate treasures were sufficient.

Lu Changsheng stayed in the Great Xia Imperial City for several days until the Second Princess of the Xia Kingdom and a group of Imperial Guards, Military Generals and Great Confucians had fully recovered.

“The four Demon Sects continue their assault on various cities. We request Daoist Lu and the Holy Maiden to lend a hand, and join us to exterminate these active Demon Sect Elders. ”

The Second Princess of Xia Kingdom came forward to ask for help.

“It is a righteous cause.”

With Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough in cultivation realm and the new treasures he obtained, it was a good opportunity to practice against the elders of the four Demon Sects.

There are subtle differences between battle simulation and actual combat, as the latter is prone to various unforeseen incidents, testing one’s ability to adapt on-the-fly.

“We will help you deal with the Demon Sect strongholds in Xia Kingdom, and in turn, you can help us with those in Liang Kingdom, how about it?”

“Agreed.”

Lu Changsheng chose to ally with Xia Ningxue’s Inquiry Immortal Pavilion squad. Unless they encountered a Sect Master or a Supreme Elder from the four Demon Sects, the chances of defeat were slim.

In another location, Zhao Wuyan led a team to attack a Joyous Union Sect stronghold.

This stronghold lacked the presence of a Dao Palace Realm Elder, making it easier to deal with. Zhao Wuyan’s team quickly leveled the place.

“Lin Qingzhi, your injuries have healed. How about we have a spar?”

Xiao Xiangdao took the initiative to propose a sparring match, to determine who was the top young disciple of Mount Shu.
