Lu Qingshan pondered, but just couldn’t figure it out.
Unfortunately, he had placed all his Talent Points in the Sword Dao.
Hmm... he also allocated some points in the inexplicable and not very useful Seeking Phoenix.
Too bad he couldn’t reset them.
In short, although he possessed secret techniques, he could not get through the door to understanding them.
The Supreme Secret Technique wasn’t so easy to cultivate.
It required both immense talent and relentless effort...
Guess he just had to try.
Lu Qingshan thought, and then silently opened up the data panel.
"Detecting the inheritance of the ’Bing’ Syllable Mantra. Fulfilling the prerequisite conditions for learning this Secret Technique, do you want to spend 15 million Experience Points to study this Secret Technique?"
The next moment, the operational routes of the ’Bing’ Syllable Mantra, its profundities, and obscure principles all came to him, enlightening him instantly.
It was as if he heard a Demon God whispering in his ear, solving all his doubts.
He truly grasped the core essence of the Bing Syllable Mantra.
"Spending 15 million Experience Points, you have comprehended the Bing Syllable Mantra of the First Seal Meeting!"
"Bing Syllable Mantra (Supreme Secret Technique of the Demon Race): Move as swift as a dart, unstoppable everywhere.
Awaken the Arms, unleash its partial power to augment oneself, thereby obtaining infinite Combat Power, with unrivaled offensive capability."
"Based on the attributes and quality of the awakened Arms, and the realm of the secret technique, you will obtain varying degrees of enhancement in Combat Power."
"This Secret Technique has a short duration."
"Currently, the Arms you can awaken include: Oblivion (Life-bound Sword·Water), Peach Blossom (Life-bound Sword·Wood)."
"Current realm of the Secret Technique: First Seal Meeting."
"Preconditions for advancing to the Second Seal Meeting: Life-bound Sword compatibility needs to be increased (LV greater than 10)!"
"To advance to the Second Seal Meeting, it will require 50 million Experience Points!"
Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, a gleam flashing through them.
The ’Bing’ Syllable Mantra was indeed the most experience-consuming skill among all that he had learned.
Solely gaining a preliminary grasp had already exhausted 15 million of his Experience Points.
Not to mention the 50 million Experience Points needed to upgrade to the Second Seal Meeting.
This not only proved the power of this Secret Technique but also highlighted its profundity—the stronger and more difficult a skill is to master, the more Experience Points it consumes, such is the rule.
Lu Qingshan admitted the technique was difficult. Just a second ago, he couldn’t comprehend it at all.
The black fog that shrouded Diao Feng’s figure finally dissipated.
There was a spark of excitement in his eyes.
Because he realized that after this ordeal, he had indeed been impacted.
Yet, when he saw Lu Qingshan leisurely looking at him from the side, he felt slightly annoyed.
"Each cultivation session guided in the Heritage Hall is not low in consumption, and you were clearly far from reaching the Second Seal Meeting. You insisted on coming along, wasting resources," Diao Feng rebuked with pressing force.
"I’m pleased," Lu Qingshan curled his lip, retorted, "and not just me, my father is pleased too. It’s just you who aren’t pleased."
"But your displeasure doesn’t matter." He chuckled.
It wasn’t very hurtful, but highly insulting.
Diao Feng’s expression suddenly darkened, his mood becoming gloomier by the moment.
"Childish!" He was anxious to return and solidify his recent insights. After some thought, he chose not to argue further with Lu Qingshan and, with a cold snort, headed home.
In the Qing Royal Residence.
Yu Luo was wandering around, getting accustomed to the environment, though his expression was very serious, pondering something.
He harbored grand ambitions, had pledged himself to Qing Ge hoping to make a name for himself.
However, during this period, he had distinctly felt the exclusion from Qing Ge’s original subordinates.
This made his path quite challenging.
But he had been mentally prepared for these challenges.
He was here to strive, not to enjoy luxuries.
"First familiarize with the Sen Luo Capital City, then find a way to break the impasse and build my own connections," Yu Luo analyzed, setting a two-step strategy for himself.
He had a significant advantage.
That was Lord Qing Ge’s high regard for him, granting him considerable power.
Power is a resource, and with resources, establishing one’s own network shouldn’t be a problem.
"Lord!" Walking along, Yu Luo suddenly saw Qing Ge, who had just entered through the great gate, apparently just returned, and he quickly bowed respectfully.
Lu Qingshan watched the exceedingly respectful Yu Luo before him, paused for a moment as if contemplating something, and after a short pause, suddenly spoke, "Pack up, in a few days prepare to leave Sen Luo Capital City with me, heading to Jian Luo Royal City."
"Ah?!" Yu Luo, just receiving the news, was confused and shocked.
He had just arrived at Sen Luo Capital City; why was there a need to change locations again?
And to Jian Luo Royal City, no less?
But Lu Qingshan didn’t explain much to him and had already walked past him without looking back.
The Shui Yue Pavilion Master had said that the struggles within Dragon Sparrow wouldn’t be resolved in a short time.
But there was another issue. What if?
What if the confrontation was suddenly resolved sooner than expected?
Lu Qingshan couldn’t take that risk.
The only thing he could do was to accelerate his pace as much as possible.
