"Why bother? It's just a pity for your life." Ren Pingsheng shook his head helplessly. In his view, there was no deep-seated hatred, yet it had to come to a life-and-death situation.
After rummaging around, Ren Pingsheng continued on his way riding the Black Demon Horse. He did not notice that shortly after he left, a figure in black appeared at the place where the battle had just taken place. After observing the lifeless Middle-Aged Man in Black for a moment, the figure silently vanished.
With the speed of the Black Demon Horse, he quickly returned to the Academy. This mission took a total of one month from start to finish, which could be considered very swift.
"Elder, the assassination mission has been completed." Upon returning to the Academy, the first thing he did was report the situation to Elder Butler Liu Qi from the outer court. At the same time, he carefully observed this so-called Elder Butler. He had not forgotten about the leak of the mission and how he had been ambushed.
Of course, Ren Pingsheng did not foolishly inquire about this matter; he simply kept Liu Qi in mind. He felt that there would be future dealings with him. If Liu Qi truly participated in this incident, then now that he had returned safely, if these people were unwilling to accept it, such things would definitely happen again.
"Oh, it seems your strength is quite good to have completed the mission so quickly. I understand; once verified, someone will notify you," Liu Qi said with some surprise. He looked to be around thirty or forty years old, with a broad forehead and a wide face. His eyes were somewhat narrow, giving off an uncomfortable feeling.
"Alright, thank you, Elder." Ren Pingsheng nodded lightly and smiled as he left. He already had some impression of this person.
"How did this kid come back? Didn't that Chu the Second guy stop him? Or did something else happen?" Liu Qi watched Ren Pingsheng walk away, a flicker of intrigue flashing in his eyes.
"What? That damned guy actually returned alive?" Chu Yuan shouted with a grim expression upon receiving the news. To him, this matter should have been foolproof.
"Yes, I just saw him complete the mission. It seems that Huang Family from Huangfeng City failed and allowed him to succeed in the assassination," the newcomer said cautiously.
"Damn it! What is that Chu the Second doing? Useless! He can't even handle this little matter properly. You go out first; I need to think of other ways," he said irritably as he paced back and forth in the room.
This time he took advantage of Ren Pingsheng's mission outing to set him up once again. The sect could not act openly; they could only wait for an opportunity when he was outside.
"Damn it, it seems I can only send someone to keep an eye on him first and take action when he goes out again. Next time, I must send more people over so that he can't escape." Chu Yuan muttered resentfully a couple of times before giving up.
The Western Courtyard remained the same as usual; even after a month, there was not much change.
"Ren Pingsheng, you're back! Did you complete the mission?" As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was greeted by the familiar Brother Shi.
"Yes, I was quite lucky and have already completed it."
"Haha, that's great. I remember it took me almost three months to get this mission done back then."
Ren Pingsheng smiled but didn't say anything and returned to his room. This past month had been neither long nor short. For the time being, he would focus on cultivating here.
"This time, the harvest was not bad; I got two books of Mysterious Level Intermediate Sword Technique that I can study when I have time." Ren Pingsheng flipped through the items obtained from the Middle-Aged Man in Black but didn't pay much attention. He wasn't lacking in Sword Technique Manuals at the moment.
However, one of them, a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method, piqued his interest. Starting from Profound-Level Cultivation Methods, each method began to carry its own attributes: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—Five Element Attributes—as well as other attributes like Wind, Thunder, Ice, and Darkness. These not only made True Qi more aggressive but also significantly enhanced the power of corresponding Sword Techniques.
For example, a fire attribute technique paired with a fire attribute Sword Technique would increase its power by threefold. There were also non-attribute techniques that were neutral and did not provide any attribute enhancement. However, they were easier to control and could be used with any Sword Technique.
It is known that as one's cultivation level increases, obtaining higher-level Sword Techniques becomes more difficult. Perhaps you cultivate using a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method but end up with a Water Attribute Sword Technique; there would be no way to practice it effectively. Thus, these non-attribute techniques are favored by many.
The Ancient Lan Divine Art is a non-attribute technique; however, the True Qi cultivated from it is much denser and far superior to ordinary non-attribute techniques.
Nevertheless, Ren Pingsheng looked at this technique and put it away; he would not be able to cultivate it. It could be a good option for trading or gifting in the future.
In the following days, Ren Pingsheng diligently practiced in his room while waiting for news from Elder Butler. Utilizing Academy resources for cultivation still required points. Currently, he only had one thousand one hundred points and needed five hundred points from completing missions to make any significant progress.
"During this time, I have been busy. I almost forgot the most important thing I obtained in the inheritance space." Ren Pingsheng carefully took out the Jade Tablet, his eyes filled with excitement. This tablet not only recorded the Ancient Lan Divine Art but also contained the Soul cultivation secret method he had always longed for.
The Soul Refinement Technique consists of nine levels, corresponding perfectly to the nine major realms. Once one cultivates this secret method, breakthroughs in cultivation will become both easier and more difficult. It becomes easier because the strengthening of the Soul allows one to absorb and refine True Qi more quickly and in greater quantities.
However, it becomes difficult because if one cannot break through the Soul secret method, they cannot advance in cultivation. In other words, to cultivate the Soul Refinement Technique, one must first break through the corresponding level of the Soul Refinement Technique to advance in cultivation. This presents a challenge.
Few people have practiced the Soul secret method, and no one knows if they possess the talent for it. If one happens to break through two levels but can no longer progress, wouldn't that mean being stuck at the Supreme Expert level for life, unable to make any further advancement? This is unbearable for many.
"Tsk tsk... this really poses a dilemma for me. But it's just a bit of difficulty; it won't stop me. A genius must be confident." After reading the introduction, Ren Pingsheng simply smiled, showing no hesitation or fear.
For him, whether it is difficulty or challenge, nothing can obstruct his path to becoming stronger. If he lacks even this bit of confidence, no matter how great his talent is, his ultimate achievements will still be limited.
"The first level is about refining Soul power. It requires active refinement rather than passive." Looking at the explanation of the first level, he quickly gained a general understanding.
The Soul exists within a person's Sea of Consciousness, but there are inherent differences in strength among individuals' Souls. The growth that occurs after birth is merely passive growth. This state is uncontrollable; no one knows how far it can develop. The Soul cultivation technique aims to control this state and develop according to one's desires.
According to many records, passive growth of the Soul can only develop about thirty to fifty percent of its potential. The Soul cultivation technique can maximize the development of the Soul's potential and continuously strengthen it. It may even unlock up to one hundred percent of the Soul's potential or perhaps more.
It is important to know that the more potential of the Soul that is developed, the higher one's talent and comprehension in cultivation will be, leading to limitless future achievements. This is where the value of the Soul cultivation technique lies.
"I'll practice a bit and see if this Soul cultivation secret method is really as miraculous as it claims." Ren Pingsheng made up his mind and memorized the first level's cultivation method before quietly closing his eyes.
In the Sea of Consciousness, there was a hazy expanse about the size of a palm. The edges were surrounded by gray clouds, with occasional wisps breaking free from the mist and drifting within the Sea of Consciousness, making the thin mist appear denser. The thin mist within the Sea of Consciousness represented passive development of Soul Power, while those gray clouds at the edges represented undeveloped Soul Power.
The first level of soul refining involves using special methods to develop that undeveloped Soul Power, allowing the Soul Power within the Sea of Consciousness to continuously grow stronger.
Soon, a slight fluctuation began in Ren Pingsheng's sea of consciousness. The developed soul power mist started to rotate gently, centering around the sea of consciousness. Gradually, a whirlwind formed within the sea of consciousness, continuously spinning, causing the entire sea to become turbulent.
The whirlwind spun faster and faster, beginning to tear at the edges of the gray clouds. Soon, strands of mist drifted out from the gray clouds, further strengthening the whirlwind in the sea of consciousness.
Unfortunately, after an initial good effect where it absorbed some scattered soul power, the whirlwind was unable to deal with the larger chunks of gray clouds. This was not something that could be resolved overnight; it would require long-term consumption to slowly absorb and digest them.
"Ha..." Sitting cross-legged, Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes with a smile on his face, feeling refreshed as if he had undergone a complete transformation.
"Is this the magic of soul cultivation techniques? This feeling is wonderful, almost like a drug that makes one unable to stop." He murmured to himself with a somewhat dazed expression.
"My soul potential is still vast. If I could fully develop it, I wonder what kind of effects it would have. I believe that at that time, whether in talent or comprehension, I would definitely become one of the top Monsters. It seems I need to diligently practice this Soul Refining Technique and strive to break through the first layer as soon as possible."
"The Ancient Lan Divine Technique is great, and this soul secret method is not bad either." Ren Pingsheng carefully stored the jade slip in his spatial ring and stood up, stretching lazily. This round of cultivation allowed him to see the benefits of soul cultivation; he had indeed gained a lot.
"Next, there's more work to do. Cultivation of techniques, sword techniques, Movement Technique cultivation, soul cultivation. There really isn't enough time! If only I could cultivate with multiple bodies at once."
Of course, this was just a wishful thinking; Ren Pingsheng could only sigh helplessly.
"Well, who would come at this time? Senior Brother Fei and Senior Brother Feng have gone on missions; there’s no one particularly familiar around!" Just as Ren Pingsheng was preparing to continue practicing his techniques, he sensed someone approaching from a distance.
He had spent three hours on soul cultivation, and it was now nighttime. At this hour, most people were usually in their rooms cultivating. So he found it somewhat strange that someone was coming over.
