Chapter 24 Lecture on Life Spirit

Looking at his master sleeping figure, Tu Feng could not still believe that a nine year old could be capable of all his feats.

"You are really something all together, me becoming your disciple is not bad at all," Tu Feng said as he took Lu Jin to the bed.

Waking up after an hour, Lu Jin could feel his body radiating with energy, seeing the amount of sword qi in his dantian, Lu Jin was speechless, he broke through the seal that was suppose to take four day of bombarding.

Putting the pieces together, Lu Jin could acknowledge his breakthrough, the energy qi that his body absorbed was repeatedly cracking the seal on his dantian.

Sending the energy qi towards Tu Feng his body greedily absorbed, made the sword qi ravage the seal time after time, bringing the seal to it's limit and finally breaking it.

"But the amount of sword qi in my dantian is still far from reaching the limit of the second section, then there is the seal to the third section, I really need more energy stones if I want to keep up my pace," Lu Jin was saying when Tu Feng came inside the room.

"Master you are awake already, I thought you would have slept for a bit longer," Tu Feng said

"I will be leaving, focus on your cultivation, yes, before I forget, have you find out the reward for being the sword representative," Lu Jin asked

"I asked a senior about it, he told me the sword representative will receive three time his allowance, he or she will be able to use the sword room once a week for every month and for every month he or she will be able to use sword valley, it is a place where sword qi and sword energy stones are abundance all around the area," Tu Feng explained, craving for such a reward even if it was out of his reach.

Hearing the reward, Lu Jin was shocked, no wonder the students of sword hall will be so angry with him, he said, "to be able to represent sword hall won't be so easy. It to be the best among the best among your classmates and your seniors."

"I have hope that master can do it," Tu Feng said, showing his support

"It not about if I can do it, is that there is no time, if base on the circulating rumors, sword master is now forced to choose a representative, I won't be chosen because of my weak strength, infact no xiantian realm cultivator will be chosen and only Martial Prince Realm cultivators will have the chance to be chosen to represent the sword hall," Lu Jin said after calculating the amounts of rewards involved.

He continued, "you should join a group as fast as possible, I might even join one after I come back from my mission."

"Why don't master create a group, instead of joining one and I'm sure with master's talent students will want to join," Tu Feng

"I already have a group, just not for students to join when they are interested," Lu Jin said

"May I ask how many members, master have in his group?" Tu Feng asked curiously

"There are only two members in the group, you and me," Lu Jin answered

"Then why would master advice me to join a group of another student?" still trying to clear his doubt, Tu Feng asked

"My group won't be known by students, it will only be known by the members of the group. Each group is formed for benefits, so is my group," Lu Jin

"Can master throw some lights on the benefits we the members of your group wi.....ll re....ceive?" Tu Feng asked, dragging the last words as he saw Lu Jin's facial expression changing

Looking at Tu Feng, Lu Jin just doesn't know if he should throw him out of the room, how could he ask such a silly question, he asked, "you been able to have a perfect dantian, been able to get a mortal rank cultivation technique without spending a dim, having a mortal rank battle technique to browse through and a master who will solve your doubts and problems in your sword techniques, doesn't that count as benefits?"

Hearing all the things his master mentioned, Tu Feng was embarrassed, trying to avoid anymore scolding from Lu Jin, he said, "is there any benefits for master, because the way I'm seeing it, master is the one providing the benefits here."

Not minding how Tu Feng changed the topic, Lu Jin asked, "have you heard the saying, feeding the pig to a full size, inorder to taste the sweetness of it's pork?"

Understanding the meaning of what Lu Jin said, taking a step back, Tu Feng swallowed hard

Seeing Tu Feng's response to his word, Lu Jin smiled as he said, "looks like you get it, you are the pig in the statement, well, not only is the pig, I will get more pigs to feed but you all have to be willing to be fed."

"Master, I'm sure that you don't mean to eat me right?" Tu Feng asked, trying to find the meaning of Lu Jin's words.

"Of course not, but I will use your abilities, your skills, your body and your cultivation realm to achieve my goals," Lu Jin said, standing up, he said, "cultivate hard and try to move up your room rank, I will be behind you."

Tu Feng was dazed as he tried to process the information he received from Lu Jin, coming back to reality, Tu Feng could not see Lu Jin in his room.

"Looks like he left, I should try stabilizing my foundation and increasing my cultivation rank as soon as possible," Tu Feng said as he sat cross-legged on the ground, using the sword qi in his dantian to strengthen the circumference of his dantian.

.....

The next day, Lu Jin moved towards the lecture hall/room of the sword hall.

Lu Jin could see senior students stepping into the lecture hall, most seniors were coming in on their own, others in group of two and three, they could not restrain their aura without leaving a trace of it, even if they tried to restrain it.

But there was these groups, three in particular if we are keeping check, they didn't bother to restrain their auras, showing their powerful cultivation realm.

"It the three main groups of xiantian realm building, having the most number of students,"

"They were formed by the 1st rank, 2nd rank and 4th rank xiantian realm students,"

"Why did the 3rd rank student not form his own group?" Lu Jin curiously asked

Looking at Lu Jin and knowing he was a new student, the senior said, "it rumoured that he is from the *Assassination House* and he is a loner, always keeping to himself."

Hearing the name of the organization, Lu Jin could tell what they do, he asked, "does the academy not care if their students die mysteriously or vanish into thin air, without leaving a trace?"

Hearing Lu Jin's question been associated with the Assassination House, the senior said, "the Assassination House has been jointly approved by the major powers of the city, inorder to carry out their dirty works."

Watching as they left, Lu Jin could see that his life was in a serious trouble, if a student was willing to hire an assassin, the assassin will have no fear or regard even if he was representing the sword hall.

"I will have to face it when the time comes," Lu Jin said as he took his seat.

.....

"Xu Chan, have you heard about the one representing the sword hall, looks like even you were not good enough for the sword master,"

"Hahahaha Fu Dai, even you were not chosen, why must you rub salt on Xu Chan injury, you must be happy about it,"

"Gui Ao, you should be very ashamed of yourself, even with all the resources you get from your members, you are not still able to surpass Nu Han in the ranking, what a waste of resources, maybe you just split your group into two, giving me and Xu Chan to share," Fu Dai said without holding anything back.

Hearing what Fu Dai said about Gui Ao, Xu Chan chuckled, he said, "Fu Dai, you know that Gui Ao not been able to defeat Nu Han is his biggest embarrassment in the sword hall and you telling him to his face is really humiliating."

"Hmph, I will just tell you to be careful, the outside world is not as safe as the sword hall, second rank xiantian realm student," Gui Ao said, not hiding the killing intent he has for Fu Dai.

"You should even be more careful together with those pets of yours, moving around the sword hall as if you own this place, rich flattering punks," Fu Dai replied, not backing down

Hearing the both of them bickering, Xu Chan smiled, he just wished the both of them will tear each other apart, leaving only his group still existing.

"Looks likes everyone is here, let start," the elder taking the lecture said as he stood at the front of the class

"GREETING ELDER," the class said as they bowed towards the elder.

"You can sit," the elder said

"I'm going to talk on the uses of life spirit, if you can communicate well with your life spirit, your cultivating speed will increase and your battle prowess will be way higher than your peers, who don't have the same amount of cooperation you have with your life spirit," the elder said, telling them the most basics uses of a life spirit.

"First, what is life spirit, anybody have anything to say? the elder asked

"Life Spirit could be said to be the cultivation talent of a cultivator," Gui Ao answered feeling proud and overflowing with confidence of his answer.

"What you said is right, but life spirit is more than that, it i...

"Hahahahahaha, Gui Ao, looks like what you said is not really correct, all what your clan taught you was nothing compared to the knowledge of an elder of sword hall, hahahaha," Fu Dai laughed as he said to Gui Ao.

Hearing what Fu Dai said, Gui Ao what so angry that he started speculating that the elder did it on purpose.

"Fu Dai, you should mind your manners," the elder said as he looked at Fu Dai

"I'm sorry elder Ju, I will not try it again," Fu Dai said politely, the arrogant he displayed for Gui Ao was not seen.

"As I was saying, what Gui Ao said about the life spirit being the talent of a cultivator, is correct, but life spirit is more than just the talent of a cultivator, it is the focal factor in cultivation.

"What does elder Ju mean by the focal factor in cultivation?" a student asked

"What I mean by the life spirit being the focal factor is that, the main path of cultivation is absorbing energy qi from the world and using it to increase your strength, so, the ability to absorb energy qi fluently, is gotten from your life spirit, although some cultivators can absorb with their bodies, it can never compare to those who have a life spirit," elder Ju said, answering the question of the student

"Elder Ju, are there other paths to cultivation excluding the energy qi cultivation?" a student asked another question

"The other paths to cultivation, it will be left for another day. You all should know that, if your life spirit have not manifested, you won't be able to cultivate, so life spirits are innate. Life Spirit helps in the comprehension of cultivation techniques and battle techniques, it can be used as a weapon when cultivators harmonized with it." elder Ju didn't answer as he continued his lecture.

Hearing this, Lu Jin and Tu Feng was shocked, they never knew that life spirit could help in their comprehension of cultivation techniques and battle techniques.

"Martial Prince Realm cultivators draw energy qi, harmonizing with it to launch attack stronger than when using just their energy qi, how do you think they draw energy qi?" elder Ju asked

"There life spirit, they use their life spirit," a student answered

"Yes, the life spirit is what they use, so if a cultivator without a life spirit manage to reach the Martial Prince Realm, he or she should only fight a Martial Prince(s) that are three ranks below them," elder Ju said, if one follows his gaze, it could be seen that he was looking at Lu Jin.
