Chapter 4: Power-infusing Initiation

Qingyun Peak, shrouded in clouds and mist, was abundant with spiritual energy. Birds sang and flowers bloomed, and from time to time, immortal cranes soared high with rainbows hanging across the sky and the clear sound of streams flowing.

The spiritual energy in Mount Shu was denser than in ordinary places; to call it a Cave Heaven Blessed Land wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Qingyun Peak was one of Mount Shu's peaks and also the cave abode of Lu Changsheng.

"This is Qingyun Peak. It has a formation that confines the spiritual energy, preventing it from leaking out of Mount Shu. From now on, this will be the place where you and I cultivate and reside. The cave abode at the peak is where I go into seclusion for meditation, halfway up the mountain is reserved for the disciples to cultivate, and at the foot of the mountain is where the miscellaneous workers of Mount Shu reside."

"Currently, I only have you as a disciple, so you are the only one living halfway up the mountain. But in the future, you will have junior brothers and sisters. As the eldest senior brother, you must cultivate diligently to avoid being surpassed by your junior fellow disciples."

Lu Changsheng, eager to try the return function of the Disciple Apprenticeship System, brought Lin Qingzhi back to his own cave abode.

"Sit on this meditation cushion."

Lu Changsheng pointed to a meditation cushion inside the cave abode. Once Lin Qingzhi sat down, Lu Changsheng placed his palm on Lin Qingzhi's head.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"Your cultivation level is too low; I'm going to transfer some of my cultivation to you. Relax your entire body."

Lu Changsheng saw that Lin Qingzhi's Root Bone was too poor and that his cultivation was only at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If Lin Qingzhi were to cultivate step by step, who knows how long it would take to elevate his cultivation.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng decided to directly consume his own cultivation to help Lin Qingzhi advance in his realms.

"Master, you mustn't, this will consume your own cultivation!"

Lin Qingzhi became anxious.

He had heard that cultivators could improve their cultivation levels by undergoing a power-infusing initiation, but such a method greatly exhausts the cultivator who imparts the cultivation, often not worth the loss, and may even result in a fall in cultivation level.

He had just become a disciple, and yet Lu Changsheng was willing to sacrifice his own cultivation to help him advance his levels. Such a master was too generous!

"Enough talk, remember, a master's order must not be disobeyed!"

Lu Changsheng began transferring cultivation, the spiritual energy from his palm poured into Lin Qingzhi's Heavenly Spirit, then merged into his Zodiac Meridians, circulated and flowed, and finally settled in the Dantian, helping Lin Qingzhi to establish his Dantian and solidify his foundation.

Being at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, a strand of spiritual energy was immensely overwhelming for Lin Qingzhi, who was only at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Lin Qingzhi clenched his teeth, his face flushed red, as the cultivation transferred by Lu Changsheng nearly burst him open!

This was Lu Changsheng's first time transferring cultivation to his disciple, and he hadn't grasped the right amount of spiritual energy to infuse, pouring just a tiny bit too much.

But Lin Qingzhi was notably stubborn. When Lu Changsheng told him to keep quiet, he restrained himself from speaking.

Besides, Lin Qingzhi was deeply moved by Lu Changsheng's willingness to damage his own cultivation for him and dared not say more.

Fortunately, Lin Qingzhi had an Innate Spirit Vein, allowing him to withstand more spiritual energy; otherwise, if he were a mortal, he would have already exploded and died.

"One day's cultivation, two days' cultivation, three days' cultivation..."

Time trickled by, and Lin Qingzhi's cultivation level was rapidly increasing.

True to the Innate Spirit Vein, Lin Qingzhi's meridians quickly adapted to the spiritual energy transmitted by Lu Changsheng.

So, Lu Changsheng continued to pour spiritual energy, a tiny bit more yet again.

"Forty-eight days' cultivation, forty-nine days' cultivation, fifty days' cultivation..."

"Ugh..."

Lin Qingzhi's forehead bulged with veins, and he let out a pained groan. Lu Changsheng had slightly overestimated the strength of his meridians; if this continued, he would explode!

"Stop!"

Realizing Lin Qingzhi had reached his limit, Lu Changsheng quickly ended the power-infusing initiation.

All in all, Lu Changsheng had poured fifty days of cultivation into Lin Qingzhi.

Fifty days of Lu Changsheng's cultivation was a massive windfall for Lin Qingzhi, who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

[Ding, you've transmitted fifty days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple 'Lin Qingzhi'. Lin Qingzhi actually received ten days of Heavenly Cultivation. Lin Qingzhi's current realm is the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. After Refining all the Spiritual Energy, he can be promoted to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Before Refining all the Spiritual Energy, you may not transmit power again or it will damage the meridians.]

[Ding, you have received a hundredfold return reward for discipling: one thousand days of Heavenly Cultivation.]

[Ding, the number of times you can transmit power today has decreased by 1.]

Becoming a mentor actually yields rewards!

Lu Changsheng's heart surged with excitement.

The efficiency of power-infusing initiation wasn't high. Lu Changsheng spent fifty days of his cultivation, but Lin Qingzhi only received ten days. It was originally a losing deal, which is why so few cultivators are willing to perform the power-infusing initiation.

However, Lu Changsheng had the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator. By transmitting fifty days of cultivation, he could receive a thousand days as compensation, effectively saving nearly three years of cultivation time!

Lu Changsheng felt a massive surge of pure Spiritual Energy suddenly emerge in his Dantian, and the Nascent Soul within his Sea of Consciousness grew in size, bringing him one step closer to opening his Dao Palace.

Thump, thump, thump.

Lin Qingzhi kowtowed solemnly to Lu Changsheng, deeply moved, "Disciple understands that the power-infusing initiation can damage Master's cultivation. Your great kindness and virtue, Qingzhi will never forget for all eternity! Please, Master, do not do this again."

Not do this again?

Lu Changsheng actually wished he could perform the power-infusing initiation for Lin Qingzhi every day, to take advantage of the system's loophole.

"After you return and Refine all the Spiritual Energy, come back to the cave dwelling to find me, and I will transmit power to you again."

Lu Changsheng felt some regret. It will take Lin Qingzhi some time to Refine the Spiritual Energy he transmitted and solidify his foundation. During this period, he could not transmit power again, as it would be the equivalent of trying to help a shoot grow by pulling it upward.

At this rate, Lin Qingzhi will soon reach the Qi Transformation Realm.

According to the introduction of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, every time a disciple advances to a higher major realm, a reward can be collected. The further you go, the more substantial the rewards become.

Moreover, rewarding disciples with treasures, cultivation techniques, and elixir pills can also result in rewards, but the rewarded items must not exceed the disciple's current major realm.

What? From what Master said, he will often perform power-infusing initiation for me?

Lin Qingzhi's eyes widened, and he became unable to think.

In his memory, even the State Preceptor of Liang Kingdom wouldn't sacrifice his own cultivation to enhance the realm of a Prince, let alone do it frequently. This was practically tantamount to self-harm.

"Absolutely not, Disciple must cultivate on his own and not drag Master down!"

Lin Qingzhi was overwhelmed with gratitude and hurriedly refused.

This disciple really was somewhat naive.

Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes. If he didn't transmit power to you, how could he exploit the system's loophole?

"Master has his own considerations; you need not worry. Simply focus on your cultivation."

Lu Changsheng couldn't wait to perform the power-infusing initiation multiple times.

"For Master's rebirth-like kindness, Disciple is willing to go through fire and water for Master without hesitation!"

Lin Qingzhi was utterly moved.

In this world, was there a better master than this? Not even the bond between father and son could compare, right?

"This 'Taxuan Skills' cultivation technique is a Profound Rank high-quality technique, divided into six levels. It's the best technique that your current realm can practice. This is Master's reward to you. You must cultivate it well."

Lu Changsheng flipped his palm, and a green scroll appeared in his hand.

"Profound Rank high-quality cultivation technique..."

Lin Qingzhi's hands trembled as he received the scroll. This single scroll alone could be exchanged for ten cities in the secular kingdom, and yet Lu Changsheng had simply rewarded it to him.

Master was really too good to him.
