Legend of the Great Sage

gain.
His laughter subsided, and he asked, “Are you prepared to complete the second task?”

Li Qingshan nodded.
“I’m skilled with water element techniques, so summoning some spiritual rain is no problem.
However, the sun vines are vicious, and they can absorb techniques and spiritual qi.
May I ask how am I supposed to kill them?”

If he could not contain the sun vines first, the sun vines would absorb probably most of the spiritual rain.
Despite his strength as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was rather helpless against these strange, twisted vines.

The Great Banyan Tree King said, “This will require the lassie beside you.”

“Her?” “Me!” Hua Chenglu widened her eyes.
She was unable to imagine why the Great Banyan Tree King well beyond her reach would require help from a measly Qi Practitioner like her.
Li Qingshan was rather confused too.
This girl might be very cute, but probably even the thinnest sun vines could kill her.

“Is your cultivation method called Method of Springtime Bloom?”

“It is.
How do you know, senior?”

The Method of Springtime Bloom was a secret method passed down through the Hua family.
It was an extremely special wood element cultivation method, gathering the essence of a hundred flowers to practise.
Although it could not charm or enchant people, it could multiply the practitioner’s charm, allowing them to possess the beauty and fragrance of a hundred flowers.
This was why the clan had many handsome men and beautiful women.
They were renowned for this even among the aristocratic clans.

“Not only do I know, but I even thoroughly understand the entire cultivation method.
I even know that fellow Qingshan’s cultivation method is called the Arts of the Boundless Ocean, which comes from the late Ocean sect.
However, this sect did not exist for a very long time, and no one from it ever visited the Mist province, so this is all I know about it.”

With his lifespan that had already lasted ten millennia so far, the cultivation methods that the Great Banyan Tree King knew were basically as vast as the open sea.
His knowledge was so extensive that no one could match him.

Li Qingshan thought of something.
The greatest problem he faced with the Arts of the Boundless Ocean was that he had no master to give him guidance.
He could only rely on himself to fumble around.
Although he had managed to reach the sixth layer with his exceptional talent, the Great Banyan Tree King would definitely be able to give him some good suggestions with his knowledge and wisdom.

He took out the jade slips to the Arts of the Boundless Ocean and Ocean Brawling.
“If you’d like to, you’re more than welcome to look through them.
If you could give me some guidance, I’ll be filled with gratitude.” He felt an invisible power pass through his body, and the jade slips in his hand flashed.

“Oh, this cultivation method really is a little interesting.
Your cultivation hasn’t deviated from it, but you are still lacking some comprehension.
Let me look through it carefully, and then I’ll tell you in detail.
Let’s get down to business first.
Sun vines are not aggressive only during one special time, which is when they bloom.”

Hua Chenglu immediately understood what the Great Banyan Tree King’s objective was.
The Method of Springtime Bloom possessed the ability to impel flowers to blood.
“But with my cultivation, I won’t be able to impel such large sun vines at all!”

“If your cultivation is insufficient, then you can just increase it.
I can make you break through to Foundation Establishment within three days, but you’ll have to pay a small price.”

With that, not only did Hua Chenglu become stunned, but even Li Qingshan was taken aback.
Hua Chenglu was only an eighth layer Qi Practitioner right now.
She did not cultivate slowly, but it definitely was not fast either.
She was not a genius like Hua Chengzan.
At this rate, it would take her another decade at the very least before she established a foundation successfully.

Casually imbuing her with a little of the Great Banyan Tree King’s wood spiritual qi could allow her cultivation to advance drastically and remould her body, but breakthroughs also required personal comprehension.
Sufficient resources was not enough.
Growing up, she had never lacked pills or resources either.

If it had not been the Great Banyan Tree King who said that, the two of them definitely would have treated it as a great boast.

“What price? But I have nothing on me!”

“Have you heard of the Wisdom Imbuement technique before?”
