Chapter 227: Taiyi Plants the Dao, The State of the Spirit Land! _2
"The Water of Virtue Technique" cultivators will adapt themselves based on the "Taiyi Dao Seed" condensed by the practitioners of the "Taiyi Dao Seed Technique".
Thus, they will acquire some of the spell techniques and mana characteristics of the "Seed Cultivators", forming a brand new cultivation method!
Only in this way, will the two be able to cultivate together in the future and nurture the vital essence of all things, refining their Dao Foundation!
Time passed, and Lu Miaoge's internal breath settled.
She looked at the golden Dao Seed within her Qi Ocean Core.
She could clearly feel that, through this Dao Seed, there was an inexplicable connection between her and Lu Changsheng.
Through the Dao Seed, she could vaguely sense their respective locations.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng could replenish her mana through the Dao Seed.
She could also supplement Lu Changsheng's mana through the Dao Seed.
"Changsheng..."
Lu Miaoge opened her beautiful eyes, gazing tenderly at Lu Changsheng.
She indicated that the Dao Seed and the Water of Virtue Technique were almost complete.
Next, what she needed to do was to convert all her spiritual power into mastery of the Water of Virtue Technique.
And as Lu Changsheng had previously said, since the Saturn Solar Sword Technique and the cultivation technique Lu Changsheng practiced were inherited from the same line, her conversion of spiritual power was not likely to suffer great loss.
"Good."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded, and voiced several issues Lu Miaoge needed to pay attention to in her next cultivation session.
He instructed her to ask him if she encountered any problems during cultivation.
After leaving Lu Miaoge, he went to check on his son Lu Ping'an's cultivation progress at his small courtyard.
"Ping'an, how is it going?"
Lu Changsheng asked his son about his cultivation of the "Five Luminaries Sword Scripture".
"Dad..."
Lu Ping'an scratched his head, somewhat embarrassedly discussing his cultivation experience.
It had been over a month, and although he had made initial progress and could sense nature's spiritual energy,
he always felt clumsy and struggled while cultivating.
"Struggling?"
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Why would he struggle with cultivating at the mere stage of drawing energy into his body?
After all, Lu Ping'an was said to possess a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root.
Could there be a problem with the man-made Spiritual Root imparted by the Gu of Hope?
He said to Lu Ping'an, "Can you show me your cultivation now?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping'an immediately sat down and began the process of drawing in spiritual energy.
Lu Changsheng silently observed Lu Ping'an cultivating by his side.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Ping'an gradually entered the right state.
The spiritual energy from the surroundings slowly gathered towards him, entering his body.
Then, this spiritual energy traveled along with the circulation of the cultivation method through his meridians, completing a cycle.
This circulatory process was indeed slower than the average for a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng reached a conclusion.
Unsuitable!
Lu Ping'an was not very suited to this cultivation method.
For peripheral sect level methods like the "Five Luminaries Sword Scripture", there are certain requirements for one's disposition, perception, and natural talent.
If there's a mismatch, even if one has entered the gate of cultivation, the process will be somewhat forced and clumsy.
"Ping'an, that's enough."
Lu Changsheng's voice echoed in Lu Ping'an's mind.
"Dad, I've let you down."
Lu Ping'an looked at his father, ashamed to admit his poor performance.
His father had finally set him on the path to cultivation,
and here he was, performing so poorly at the very first step, thoroughly ashamed.
"It's okay, it seems you don't have much talent in the way of sword scriptures."
"You're not very suited to this technique."
Lu Changsheng waved it off, not overly concerned.
Initially, when he first obtained the "Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Art", he intended to make it the foundational cultivation method for his clan.
But as he grew more knowledgeable about the Cultivation World and his own cultivation techniques became more extensive, he gradually discarded this idea.
After all, not everyone is suitable to practice sword techniques.
Lu Miaoge's practice of the "Saturn Solar Sword Technique" was also only moderate in his eyes.
If Lu Ping'an was not suitable for this technique, naturally he should switch to another one.
"Do you have any thoughts on this?"
Lu Changsheng inquired.
"I will follow whatever you arrange, Dad."
Lu Ping'an spoke solemnly.
When Lu Changsheng first taught him a cultivation method, he had asked whether Lu Ping'an liked sword techniques,
to which he naturally nodded and affirmed, claiming he liked them,
partly because he had heard and read many stories about sword immortals since childhood.
On the other hand, he had once asked Qin Yi why she wanted to become a Great Sword Immortal,
and she had replied that it's because sword cultivators are powerful!
The largest Immortal Sect in Jiang Country – Heavenly Sword Sect – consisted of sword cultivators!
Therefore, her dream was to join the Heavenly Sword Sect and become an unrivaled sword immortal!
This also made Lu Ping'an somewhat yearn to become a sword cultivator.
But now, realizing he had no aptitude for it, he did not insist on continuing.
"In that case, then..."
Lu Changsheng pondered, considering which cultivation method to give his son.
Among the methods he currently possessed were the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, Yin Yang Harmony Technique, Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, and Taiyi Shengshui Jue.
The Seven Luminaries were definitely unsuitable for Lu Ping'an.
If the Five Luminaries did not fit well, it was impossible to consider practicing the Seven Luminaries.
As for the Exquisite Level Cultivation Methods derived from the Seven Luminaries, in his view, they were perhaps worth a try.
For example, the "Town Star Saturn Sword Technique".
Given Lu Ping'an's somewhat straightforward nature, he should fare much better practicing this sword technique.
But considering that this method was ultimately inherited from the "Five Luminaries Sword Scripture",
even if it could be slightly better, it probably wouldn't make a significant difference.
As for other methods, like the Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, it was clearly unsuitable.
This Talisman Path required a great deal of perceptiveness.
Having spent time together, he knew his son had, at best, average perception.
The Taiyi Shengshui Jue belonged to a partner-oriented cultivation method, needing two people to cultivate it, and thus Lu Ping'an could not practice it alone.
