Chapter 81: Chapter 69 Taking Up New Responsibilities
The next morning.
The morning light bathed the mountains, and all things exuded vibrant vitality.
Lin Yuan had already started his morning training in the small courtyard.
"Very good, the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist not only makes me faster but also enhances the defense of my arms’ skin."
Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his energy and concluded today’s morning training.
Last night, after swallowing all the Five Qi Pills, he not only completed the basic refining method of the Five Qi Pill for beginners.
He also had leftover medicinal power, which Lin Yuan used entirely to practice the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist.
In the Qi-Blood realm, the abundance of Qi-Blood is fundamental.
Now, his realm could crush those elite disciples of the Qi-Blood realm, primarily due to the immense power of Qi-Blood within him.
Therefore, he immediately chose to refine the Little Dragon Tiger Tongbei Fist to further increase his Qi-Blood.
As for the Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense and other techniques, they could be set aside for now. After refining more Five Qi Pills, there would naturally be time to cultivate them.
"First, let’s see how Senior Brother You is recovering, then I’ll ask him to buy materials for the Five Qi Pill for me." With a firm resolution in mind, Lin Yuan prepared to head out after his training.
Yesterday, two elite disciples already informed Lin Yuan about the benefits of being an elite disciple.
In fact, an ordinary elite disciple has more Qi-Blood than someone doing chores and doesn’t have as many extra tasks limiting them.
But that’s just an ordinary elite disciple.
Higher-level elite disciples are the backbone of various institutions within the academy.
This is not limited to the academy itself.
There is also the much larger outside world, where many tasks are completed by the elite disciples of the academy.
"It’s similar to official organizations in my previous life, where the academy’s selection process is like grooming successors. Becoming an elite disciple is equivalent to having an official status, capable of managing certain affairs."
Lin Yuan understood in his heart.
"Yesterday, when I killed An Heng, it seemed like his identity was special and his background was notable. I wonder how the academy’s elders or the enforcement hall will handle it?" Opening the door, Lin Yuan began to carefully consider the consequences of yesterday’s killing.
Lin Yuan sneered inwardly and thought: "No matter how they handle it, they surely wouldn’t kill me outright; otherwise, they would have taken action yesterday. Why leave me until today?"
Looking at the radiant sunrise, Lin Yuan felt exhilarated.
It seemed as though the rising sun was a reflection of his own youthful vigor.
"Currently, the most important thing is to refine the Five Qi Pill and accumulate martial arts cultivation." Lin Yuan felt refreshed, and the troubles of yesterday could no longer disturb his state of mind.
Calming his thoughts, Lin Yuan hurriedly set off towards You Xiaozhong’s small shed.
But he hadn’t gone far when a black-robed elite disciple hurried over.
"Senior Brother Lin, please wait."
A modestly dressed elite disciple of medium build saluted him with a fist-to-palm gesture.
"What brings you here?" Lin Yuan’s eyes shifted slightly.
"Senior Brother, by Deacon Bai’s order, please head to the Transmission Hall." The disciple squinted, examining Lin Yuan closely, trying to see through him.
For it was this slender young man in front of him who had defeated three well-known disciples with ease, proving extremely powerful.
"Lead the way!" Lin Yuan, intrigued, immediately agreed.
The disciple then led the way, and the two of them headed towards the Transmission Hall.
Shortly after, they arrived at Bai Deacon’s study.
After the disciple left, Lin Yuan knocked on the door, interrupting Bai Yiting, who was reviewing documents.
"Greetings, Deacon Bai." Lin Yuan entered and saluted with clasped fists.
"Ah, Lin Yuan is here." Bai Yiting, distracted by the knock, saw Lin Yuan’s arrival and nodded, continuing, "Today I called you here concerning the matter of you apprenticing under a master."
After speaking, Bai Yiting sighed.
Seeing Deacon Bai’s expression, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed that there might be an unexpected issue with his apprenticeship.
"Deacon, Lin Yuan was forced to retaliate against mistreatment yesterday. If this affects my apprenticeship, I am ready to accept it." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes.
If he couldn’t even get involved in such minor elite disciple matters, then this master would be better left unclaimed.
"Alas." Bai Yiting sighed again.
Looking at the upright figure in front of him, he felt somewhat regretful.
After all, he personally chose Lin Yuan, yet couldn’t provide him with a good future, which made him feel slightly guilty.
"Your apprenticeship cannot be arranged." Bai Yiting said with regret, "Originally, I planned to introduce you to an elder, making you their direct disciple. This would have significantly enhanced the cultivation technique and resources you received in the future."
"Unfortunately, your killing of An Heng has caused complicated issues, and the elders do not wish to involve themselves." Bai Yiting explained the situation honestly to Lin Ye.
"Lin Yuan understands. If it cannot be, it merely means the time is not right." Lin Yuan’s gaze remained calm, showing no discouragement.
Currently, he refines the Five Qi Pill himself, and his cultivation resources are as abundant as those of inner sect disciples, if not more.
As long as he is given stable time, he will steadily improve step by step.
"You don’t understand." Bai Deacon shook his head, his eyes revealing a trace of concern as he looked at Lin Yuan: "If you were to apprentice under an elder and receive their guidance, you might even be granted the Condensing Yuan Technique. This would save you countless detours on your martial path."
"Now, you have killed An Heng. He was an inner sect disciple and close confidant of Dong Yun, and I fear you might face many risks in your future endeavors outside," Bai Deacon said, his gaze containing a hint of worry.
"Thank you, Deacon!" Lin Yuan saluted with clasped fists, then, his eyes sharpened, asked Bai Deacon: "I dare ask, who exactly is this Dong Yun?"
"Inner sect disciple Dong Yun is currently at the peak of Condensing Yuan’s third level, and perhaps soon, he will break through to the fourth level," Bai Deacon said, seeing Lin Yuan’s fearless demeanor, slightly nodding.
At this moment, his regard for Lin Yuan increased.
When he mentioned inner sect disciples, he scrutinized Lin Yuan’s eyes, expecting to see fear and hesitation there.
But he saw none of that.
There were only those deep, serene eyes, as calm as an ancient well, without a ripple.
Perhaps it is precisely this kind of character that allowed him to quickly stand out among the many disciples doing chores and successfully kill An Heng and others.
"And within the academy, what are the elders’ realms?" Lin Yuan nodded and continued to ask.
"The elders’ martial realms vary," Bai Yiting pondered and replied, "Overall, they are all above the third stage of Condensing Yuan, reaching up to the ninth stage."
"Someone like me, a deacon, is at the third stage of Condensing Yuan," Bai Yiting explained in detail, as Lin Yuan seemed eager to understand: "Deacons and inner sect disciples are generally below the third stage of Condensing Yuan."
"The fourth stage of Condensing Yuan is for elders. Of course, among elders, the higher their realm, the greater their authority."
"That makes sense," Lin Yuan nodded, indicating his understanding.
Seeing this, Bai Yiting continued to explain to Lin Yuan: "In the Condensing Yuan realm, up to the third stage is considered the early stages, from the fourth to the sixth stage is the middle stages, and the seventh stage or higher is considered the late stages."
"The transition from the Qi-Blood realm to the Condensing Yuan realm is a significant hurdle, trapping countless individuals. I hope you will train diligently and break through it soon," Bai Yiting concluded with another sigh.
"I am well aware and thank you for clarifying, Deacon," Lin Yuan saluted with clasped hands, preparing to leave.
"Ah, I almost forgot!" Bai Deacon pinched his beard, turned to the desk, and picked up a register of cultivation techniques.
"This is the register of cultivation techniques available to you as an elite disciple. You may choose one from it. Tomorrow, you can spend three hours in the adjacent Contemplation Hall comprehending the technique."
Bai Deacon finished, handing over the register of cultivation techniques.
Lin Yuan took it and began to peruse it.
The register was densely filled with numerous techniques, each with a name and brief description. Overall, the techniques were categorized into four areas: Qi-Blood, bones, meridians, and skin.
"The techniques even have ranks!" Lin Yuan’s gaze landed on the section detailing the ranks of the techniques, and his heart stirred slightly.
Lin Yuan quickly skimmed through the entries until he landed on the Eight-step Breaking Fist.
"Eight-step Breaking Fist, rank: peasant!" Lin Yuan noted the description of the Eight-step Breaking Fist, pondering over it silently.
Continuing to examine each entry, Lin Yuan felt his horizons broadened.
"Floating Light Hand, rank: second-rate technique! Can open twelve meridians of Qi-Blood. This is the technique Huang Houqi trained in."
"Wandering Dragon Step, the main technique of Senior Brother Xie." Lin Yuan looked over it and felt moved: "Rank: first-rate technique! Can open fourteen meridians of Qi-Blood."
"Heh, don’t look at these ranks of Qi-Blood techniques, the one that suits you is the right one," Bai Deacon remarked while watching Lin Yuan’s scrutiny, smiling.
"What’s the reasoning behind this?" Lin Yuan understood that the elderly man before him wanted to impart some advice.
"The rank only indicates the number of meridians you can open, but whether you can cultivate it to completion is another matter entirely."
"While a first-rate technique can open fourteen meridians of Qi-Blood, cultivating it to completion is far more challenging than a peasant-level technique," Bai Deacon warned solemnly, "If you choose a technique but cannot cultivate it to perfection, it is nearly impossible to advance to Condensing Yuan."
"I understand, Deacon," Lin Yuan bowed in acknowledgment, comprehending the important aspects.
Bai Deacon was reminding him to choose a technique suitable for himself. If he selects a technique too advanced and cannot grasp it, he would become stuck, increasing the difficulty of advancing to Condensing Yuan.
Conversely, if he could select and fully develop a couple of techniques he understands, he might achieve results comparable to, or even exceeding a first-rate technique.
However, Bai Deacon’s notion of suitability didn’t concern Lin Yuan in the slightest.
Because he had the Nine Chapters.
As long as he had enough elixirs, he could master all Qi-Blood techniques to perfection and beyond.
Lin Yuan returned his attention to the register.
"Nourishing Heaven Saber, Eight Meridian Light Body Skill, Golden Child Spear, Willow Breeze Qi..."
Lin Yuan reviewed each entry carefully.
Eventually, his eyes settled on a particular martial art.
"Plum Blossom Leap Technique." Lin Yuan’s eyes shifted slightly as he gained a sense.
This was a first-rate meridian cultivation technique.
Inspired by the form of plum blossoms, this technique utilized specific breathing techniques and body coordination to allow one to move as lightly and gracefully as a plum blossom through the air, reaching extremely high speed and agility.
Its unique trait was that, upon mastering the technique, one could perceive subtle environmental changes, blending with the surroundings to make movements feel more natural and fluent.
"Deacon, I choose the Plum Blossom Leap Technique."
Having finished reading, Lin Yuan closed the register and handed it back to Bai Deacon.
The reasons for choosing this technique were twofold: first, the ability to blend with the environment offered an additional means of hiding himself. Second, the speed enhancement—commonly referred to as the ability to run fast.
"Noted. Come by tomorrow to study it."
Bai Deacon nodded, saying no more.
The choice was inherently personal. All decisions were guided by fate, and others could not impose their will.
