Chapter 102: The Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique!

“Have you guys heard? Lu Miaoyang has been punished.”

“What’s going on, tell me more?”

“It’s about him and Lu Changsheng’s thing!”

“I heard that Lu Changsheng directly beat up Lu Miaoyang, and then Lu Miaoyang went to the ancestral hall to cause a scene, which eventually provoked the ancestors.”

“Wow, the ancestors even showed up!”

“I didn’t expect Changsheng to be so fierce, he’s usually so gentle and calm.”

“Yeah, I thought he would just let it go.”

“Honest people can also get angry, and with Lu Miaoyang’s temper, who can tolerate it?”

“Yeah, I think Lu Miaoyang just went too far.”

“Good beating, it’s a great release!”

“By the way, Lu Changsheng should also be punished by the family, right? How was he punished?”

“I’m not too clear on that, but I heard he was fined a lot of spirit stones.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s really a disaster!”

The next day, the matter of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyang also caused a stir within Qingzhu Mountain, with many Lu Family disciples discussing it.

After all, this incident had been a big deal a few days ago, and many people were paying attention.

Now that the family’s judgment has been announced, it’s naturally become a topic of conversation, and people are enjoying gossiping about it.

Meanwhile…

In a courtyard within Qingzhu Valley…

“Patriarch, take care.”

Lu Changsheng saw Lu Yuanding off and let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuanding had come to comfort him, worried that he might feel wronged and resentful about yesterday’s judgment.

Although the family had fined him a large amount of spirit stones, the fourth elder had paid it on his behalf.

The second reason was to discuss the benefits.

Lu Yuanding had learned about Lu Changsheng becoming a high-grade Talisman Master through the fourth elder.

And since the fourth elder had already said so, there was no need to conduct another assessment.

So Lu Yuanding came directly to discuss the new benefits with Lu Changsheng.

The original ten spirit stones per month had been increased to thirty.

The twenty catties of jade rice had been increased to fifty.

And for every Talisman task completed, the reward had been increased from ten spirit stones to thirty.

If he exceeded the quota, the Lu Family would still purchase the excess Talismans at the original price.

However, the excess Talismans would be exchanged for family contribution points instead of spirit stones.

The family contribution points could be exchanged for spirit stones.

They could also be used to exchange for pills, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures at the Lu Family’s treasure pavilion.

The prices would be two to three percent cheaper than the market price.

It was a benefit for the family’s disciples.

As for the benefits, Lu Changsheng didn’t have much of a reaction.

Mainly because his spending habits had changed.

Previously, he had killed a wave of rogue cultivators and earned tens of thousands of spirit stones.

He would casually spend a few thousand spirit stones.

So now, facing a few dozen spirit stones per month, he didn’t have much of a feeling.

“Ah, I remember when I first came to the Lu Family, I only had two spirit stones per month.”

“I had to carefully calculate every spirit stone, and now I’m facing dozens of spirit stones, but I don’t have any feeling.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head in amazement.

He thought back to the days when he would carefully divide one spirit stone into two parts.

“Wealth and riches are fleeting, but steady and gradual progress is the true path.”

“After all, where did so much wealth come from?”

Lu Changsheng adjusted his mindset, warning himself.

After staying at Qingzhu Mountain for three days.

Lu Changsheng bid farewell to his wives, rode his steel-feathered eagle, and returned to Jiulong Market.

Actually, he wanted to stay at home for a while.

But he couldn’t help but think about the Spirit Talisman shop that needed his attention.

In two days, it would be time to inspect the goods again.

However, he had already spoken to the Fourth Elder.

He wanted to ask Lu Miaoge to help take care of the shop while he rested at home for a while.

The reason was simple.

When he first went to Jiulong Market, he couldn’t refuse.

Moreover, he wanted to go to the market to sell the Talismans on his body.

And to buy materials for the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, as well as to acquire the ‘Fairy’.

But now, all these things had been taken care of, and he could take a break.

There was no need to stay in the market all the time.

He planned to stay at Qingzhu Mountain for a while, spending more time with his wives and children.

Because next year, he would send Lu Ping’an and the other children to the secular world.

For now, he would take a break, stay at home, and spend more time with his children.

The Fourth Elder agreed to Lu Changsheng’s request.

He would let Lu Miaoge take over in two months.

Lu Changsheng would stay at home, taking care of his wives and children.

In the future, if he had time, he could alternate with Lu Miaoge to manage the Spirit Talisman shop.

This way, the two of them would have an easier time.

Two days later.

A steel-feathered eagle landed outside Jiulong Market.

Lu Changsheng entered the market and headed towards the Spirit Talisman shop.

“Ah? Is that him!”

“It’s really fate, what a coincidence.”

Just then, on the bustling street, a beautiful young girl in a purple dress saw Lu Changsheng, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled.

The girl pretended to stroll around, following Lu Changsheng closely.

After following him for a while, the girl saw Lu Changsheng enter a Spirit Talisman shop.

She looked up at the sign above the shop.

“Qingzhu Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop.”

Then, the girl smiled and walked in.

After a while, the girl smiled and walked out of the shop.

“The owner of the Qingzhu Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop.”

“He’s a member of the Qingzhu Lu Family?”

“A member of a foundation-establishing family, how could he have Talismans on him, and so many of them?”

The girl frowned, thinking to herself.

“This person must have a big secret, a great opportunity.”

“Otherwise, a member of a foundation-establishing family would never have so many Talismans around them.”

“No wonder, when I invited him to explore the ancient tomb, he didn’t bat an eye.”

The girl thought to herself.

“As long as I wait for a while, the Love-locking Gu will recover its energy, and I can use it to control people.”

“This person has so many Talismans around him, and has even taken away two of my foundation-establishing spiritual objects. He has even gained the wealth of the Kou Clan’s Five Evils.”

“With such secrets and opportunities, he’s worthy of being the first target of my Love-locking Gu.”

“As long as the Love-locking Gu bites him, he’ll be unable to resist my charms.”

“By then, all his wealth and secrets will be mine!”

In the girl’s heart, a dark path unfolded, and a smile appeared on her face.

The originally clear and elegant face now had an added layer of mysterious and unpredictable charm, making it difficult for others to grasp.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was unaware that he was being watched.

After returning to the Spirit Talisman shop and inquiring about the recent situation with Manager Zhang Shan, he went to the third floor.

He checked the storage room and the Talisman room.

He looked at the puppets he had created and the second-level Talisman diagrams he had drawn, to see if he had left any traces.

After all, he was about to return home to accompany his wife and children.

He would hand over the shop to Lu Miaoge to manage.

Although he usually paid attention, he still needed to confirm everything to avoid being discovered.

After checking and confirming that there were no issues, Lu Changsheng felt relieved.

He then took out the Talisman-making tools and began to draw the Talisman diagrams.

A month later.

In the Spirit Talisman shop.

Lu Changsheng was drawing Talisman diagrams.

Just then, a system prompt tone sounded.

【Congratulations, the number of descendants has reached 50, and you have obtained a designated lottery reward.】

The reward for 50 children had arrived on schedule.

Lu Changsheng didn’t show any surprise.

“A designated lottery?”

But seeing this designated lottery, Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat astonished.

However, the next moment, he understood what this designated lottery meant.

The lottery disk has seven areas: skills, techniques, pets, pills, spiritual treasures, treasures, and others.

In the past, the lottery were random, and the rewards were obtained randomly from one of the regions.

While this designated lottery allowed him to specify a region to draw from.

“A Designated lottery, designated area for the lottery?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

He thought to himself, “System, I want to draw!”

Immediately, the familiar lottery plate appeared.

“Should I draw a technique or magical treasures?”

Looking at the lottery plate in front of him, Lu Changsheng thought for a moment.

Having drawn so many times, he had already drawn from all seven regions.

He knew that even if he could specify one, the randomness was still very high.

Currently, if he had to choose, he was relatively inclined towards techniques and magical treasures.

Techniques were what he currently lacked, a main cultivation technique.

After all, this trashy Returning to the Origin Technique had been abandoned by him for many years.

He had always wanted a Qi Refining cultivation technique.

But these lottery, each item had a high degree of uncertainty.

Even if he specified a technique, the system might give him a supplementary technique like the Immortal Posture.

Or it might give him a body-tempering technique like the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.

Or maybe other techniques.

If that were the case, he would be at a loss.

Relatively speaking, magical treasures were more stable.

After all, magical treasures would likely be usable for cultivating the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.

“Magical treasures are stable, but I already have the Black Dragon Magic Bead.”

“If I get another magical treasure, the benefits would not be significant.”

“Moreover, not every magical treasure can be condensed into the body.”

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment before deciding to take a risk and draw a technique.

He was really tired of this trashy Returning to the Origin Technique.

The whole day could only be spent relying on bitter cultivation, with slow progress.

He was waiting for a cultivation technique like the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique that could take a shortcut.

“System, draw a cultivation technique!”

Lu Changsheng said immediately.

In an instant, the roulette wheel in front of him changed.

It was no longer a golden light rapidly rotating in seven areas.

Instead, the cultivation technique’s golden light was bursting forth on the roulette wheel.

Various divine patterns of cultivation techniques flashed by quickly.

Lu Changsheng saw one cultivation technique after another.

“The Heavenly Star Technique”

“The True Saint’s Sacred Technique”

“The Ascension Sutra”

“The Great Nurturing Heaven Demon Sutra”

“The Thirty Six Styles of Muddy Water Battle Pills Technique”

“Wow, this has all kinds of cultivation techniques!”

“If I get a demonic cultivation technique, should I practice it or not?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes were fixed on the rapidly changing patterns in front of him, thinking to himself.

Finally, the roulette wheel stopped.

A jade book with a pattern of seven swords on the cover appeared in front of him, accompanied by a system prompt tone.

【Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the “Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique”】

【Reward has been sent to the system space, host can view at any time】

“The Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique?”

“System has finally gotten it right for once!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the reward pattern in front of him, and his heart was immediately filled with excitement.

Through the two words “sword technique”, Lu Changsheng knew that this was a Qi Refining cultivation technique he wanted.

Because Qi Refining cultivation techniques were just a general term, and there were many types.

Like the Return to Origin Technique, a neutral and balanced basic cultivation technique.

Or the wood-element cultivation technique that was good for nurturing life.

Or the wood-fire cultivation technique that was good for alchemy and artifact refining.

Or even poison cultivation techniques and demonic cultivation techniques, which were all part of Qi Refining cultivation techniques.

And this cultivation technique had the words “sword technique”, Lu Changsheng knew it was a sword-based cultivation technique.

According to Lu Changsheng’s understanding, sword-based cultivation techniques generally leaned towards killing and fighting.

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind, and immediately looked towards the system space.

Viewing the specific information about the cultivation technique he had obtained.

【Cultivation Technique: Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique】

【Rank: Genuine Level】

【Description: The Seven Stars Sword Sect’s ultimate technique, absorbing the essence of the seven stars, condensing the seven stars’ sword energy, casting the seven stars’ heart lamp, and forming the seven stars’ sword array!】

“A Genuine Level cultivation technique, this is great!”

Lu Changsheng saw the information about the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique, and his heart was filled with excitement.

Although the description was brief and didn’t reveal much.

But a Genuine Level cultivation technique was enough to satisfy Lu Changsheng.

After all, with the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique, Lu Changsheng had a certain understanding of Genuine Level cultivation techniques.

The mysterious and majestic atmosphere of the cultivation technique was unparalleled.

No matter what, it was far better than his current trashy Return to Origin Technique.

And he wouldn’t have to worry about the subsequent cultivation techniques for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Like his current Return to Origin Technique, which could only be cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining and then stopped.

“System, transmit!”

Lu Changsheng didn’t think twice, and his spirit stirred, using the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique.

Immediately.

Regarding the cultivation methods and related content of the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique, everything was poured into Lu Changsheng’s mind like a sudden enlightenment.

Lu Changsheng sat quietly, immersing his heart and soul in this profound sword scripture.

After a long time…

“Ah, what a great Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique!”

“It’s no wonder it’s a Genuine Level technique!”

“It’s indeed a masterpiece from the system!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise and delight.

In just a short time, through the system’s inheritance, he had already grasped the essence of the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique.

He understood the cultivation methods, related content, and all the key points.

This Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique has five stages.

Corresponding to: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation, five realms.

In other words, this technique is enough to take him to the Divine Transformation realm.

This technique is similar to the Hundred Treasure Refinement Body Tempering Technique.

Not only does it have cultivation methods, but also corresponding spiritual techniques and special characteristics.

For example, in the Qi Refining stage, there are three corresponding spiritual techniques: Seven Stars Sword Light, Seven Stars Sword Shield, and Seven Stars Sword Escape.

Attacking, defending, and escaping were all covered.

Moreover, the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique’s Seven Stars Sword Qi also has the characteristic of removing pill toxins.

Most cultivators would take pills to aid their cultivation.

However, these pills would have varying degrees of toxicity.

Not to mention the harm they cause to the body.

Like the Yellow Dragon Pill, if taken excessively, it would lead to pill resistance, making the pills ineffective or minimally effective.

This is why Lu Changsheng, although he had spirit stones to buy pills to aid his cultivation, would not take them excessively.

It’s because of the pill toxins.

But now, with the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique, he can take pills without worrying about the toxins!

However, removing pill toxins is not that simple.

It requires time and effort to refine the toxins.

And when refining the toxins, the physical body must endure the suffering of the sword qi.

“But this suffering is nothing compared to the benefits of taking pills without worrying about the toxins!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes sparkled.

If he could take pills without worrying about the toxins, his cultivation speed would increase exponentially.

Originally, he thought it would take six or seven years to break through the eighth stage of Qi Refining.

But now, he could take pills without worrying about the toxins, greatly reducing his cultivation time.

Moreover, each stage of the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique has corresponding magical techniques and special characteristics.

The second stage has the Seven Stars Heart Lamp!

The third stage has the Seven Stars Stellar Sword and the Seven Stars Sword Array!

It’s extremely powerful!

What made Lu Changsheng even more delighted was that this Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique could be divided into multiple techniques.

It could be split into the “Sunshine Sword Technique,” “Moonlight Sword Technique,” “Golden Brilliance Sword Technique,” “Star of Years Wood Brilliance Sword Technique,” “Star of Chen Water Brilliance Sword Technique,” “Mars Fire Brilliance Sword Technique,” “Venus Earth Brilliance Sword Technique,” “Life and Death Sword Chapter of the Sun and Moon Duality,” and the “Five Luminaries Stars Life and Death Sword Canon.”

The reason is simple: Genuine Level techniques are too difficult.

Not only are they difficult to cultivate, but also difficult to comprehend.

Only those with exceptional talent can cultivate this Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique.

So, the Seven Stars Sword Sect divided it into multiple techniques to make it easier for disciples to cultivate.

Allowing disciples to choose according to their Spirit Root attributes and technique characteristics.

“The Genuine Level’s cultivation method is too difficult to comprehend, and it’s extremely hard to cultivate.”

“If I didn’t have the system’s inheritance, I wouldn’t be able to comprehend it directly. If I had to rely on myself to comprehend and cultivate, it would be almost impossible.”

“In the future, if the children start cultivating, even if I pass on this cultivation method to them, they will still find it very difficult to comprehend and cultivate.”

“However, the divided Profound Level cultivation methods, such as the ‘Sunshine Sword Technique,’ ‘Moonlight Sword Technique,’ and ‘Golden Brilliance Sword Technique,’ are relatively easier to comprehend.”

“If the children have exceptional innate abilities, they can start cultivating from the ‘Life and Death Sword Chapter of the Sun and Moon Duality.'”

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief.

This was one aspect of the Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Technique that Lu Changsheng was extremely delighted with.

Not only did it solve his own cultivation method problems, but it also solved the problem of the children’s cultivation methods in the future.

Although the children’s cultivation was still a long way off, at least he didn’t have to worry about it anymore.
