The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

The excitement seemed to have ended, but the system continued to report emotional value gains for a long time. Yun Jin clearly sensed the difference from previous occasions.

Earlier incidents yielded massive immediate emotional value, but with little lasting impact. Those events didn’t greatly affect others; people’s emotions might fluctuate momentarily, but afterwards they’d just treat it as gossip, without much ongoing emotional investment.

But this time was different.

What Yun Jin aimed to do closely affected the entire Tianxing Sect.

Not just ordinary disciples, even the Peak Masters couldn’t help discussing it privately.

This led to sustained emotional value gains.

It gave Yun Jin a hint.

Besides expanding ways to acquire emotional value, if her actions closely affected more people, she could gain more sustained emotional value.

For instance, if she happened to save the world, the subsequent emotional value alone could sustain her for life.

In the Sect Leader’s Hall, Zhao Wuji personally summoned Ma Hongyu and his top disciple Ye Cheng.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Ye Cheng, who seemed introverted, nervously keeping his head down, hardly daring to look up.

Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes and spoke directly, “Hongyu, you must know about the Disciplinary Hall incident. Are you confident about Ye Cheng competing with that Yun Jin?”

Ma Hongyu couldn’t help but smile, “Sect Leader, has Yun Jin been in the sect for even a month?”

Zhao Wuji shook his head, “Not even half a month.”

“And when did she start learning plant cultivation techniques?” Ma Hongyu asked.

Zhao Wuji replied, “I checked the archives. She only exchanged for manuals yesterday.”

“So what is the Sect Leader worried about?” Ma Hongyu said calmly. “I’m the sect’s only fifth-grade plant cultivator, and Ye Cheng is my most talented disciple. He’s studied under me for ten years and is at least a third-grade plant cultivator. How could Yun Jin, who just started learning yesterday, reach that level in ten days?”

Zhao Wuji instinctively shook his head.

“Exactly! Sect Leader needn’t worry. Ye Cheng has no possibility of losing,” Ma Hongyu stated confidently.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji relaxed somewhat.

He knew Yun Jin’s chances of winning were nearly zero, but she was so uncanny that he couldn’t help worrying.

Seeing Zhao Wuji still concerned, Ma Hongyu continued, “Sect Leader, isn’t Yun Jin a sword cultivator? A genius sword cultivator, even?”

Though reluctant to admit Yun Jin’s genius, Zhao Wuji nodded, “I suppose so.”

“There you have it,” Ma Hongyu said slowly. “The sword path is about killing! Sword cultivators are usually overly sharp, which fits Yun Jin’s personality and behavior. But plant cultivation requires a calm mindset. The calmer one is, the better they can communicate with plants and nature, maximizing their plant cultivation power. Take Ye Cheng – he’s introverted and extremely calm. Only such people can gain plants’ approval and progress quickly in plant cultivation. Someone like Yun Jin can’t walk this path.”

With Ma Hongyu’s explanation, Zhao Wuji’s worries nearly vanished. He smiled, “Then I’ll rely on you two for the competition in ten days.”

Ma Hongyu and Ye Cheng both agreed.

After they left, Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes.

So this time, Yun Jin truly intended to let Danxia off?

Hmph, at least she knows her place!

At Celestial Sword Peak, Lin Ya and the others had seen the newly sprouted field and heard from Yue Zhao about Yun Jin’s “innovations” with the techniques.

They tacitly avoided asking Yun Jin if she was confident, instead focusing on setting up arrays to conceal the spirit field.

For the next ten days, Celestial Sword Peak closed its doors to visitors.

Except for Gu Jinghong coming and going on Yun Jin’s orders, everyone else secluded themselves with Yun Jin.

Yun Jin was busy.

She had two main tasks for these ten days: advancing her plant cultivator rank and mastering the Blue Lotus Sword Technique. She also needed to refine pills to quickly boost her strength.

These tasks had to progress simultaneously; none could be neglected.

Now with Gu Jinghong available, he observed the five disciples’ sword techniques while Yun Jin gave them small incentives to keep practicing.

Meanwhile, Gu Jinghong continued brazenly visiting various spirit fields, talking to plants as if no one was around.

Other peaks’ members hesitated upon seeing Gu Jinghong but pretended not to notice, letting him act crazy.

Ma Hongyu dismissed him as a clown, only having people watch to ensure he didn’t cause trouble.

After all, how could Gu Jinghong learn plant cultivation just by chatting with plants?

It was absurd.

With newfound motivation, the five disciples practiced more diligently. By the fifth day, they had raised Yun Jin’s sword technique proficiency to the skilled level.

Five sword intents flooded into Yun Jin’s mind as massive information streams.

Adding the Void-Breaking Sword Intent and Lotus Sword Intent, she now had seven sword intents.

In these five days, Yun Jin had also practiced the three sword manuals she exchanged for to the skilled level.

Thus, ten sword intents were achieved!

As Yun Jin comprehended all the sword intents, the world suddenly spun.

When she looked up, she was no longer in her bamboo hut but facing a vast ocean.

A white-robed figure practiced swordsmanship in the sea.

His technique started without pattern but gradually became sharp.

A light sword wave raised massive waves, surging with momentum.

The raging waves and the swordsman deeply imprinted in Yun Jin’s mind.

She could feel the swordsman’s mindset with each strike, sense the unstoppable force, even feel seawater on her skin.

Majestic and powerful.

Was this the Blue Lotus Sword Technique?

Though it shared a character with the Lotus Flower Sword Technique, they differed greatly. The Lotus Flower Technique contained the lotus flower sword intent – brilliant and gorgeous, with killing moves hidden in beauty, catching opponents off guard.

But the Blue Lotus Sword Intent? It wasn’t gorgeous. It had no special killing moves. It simply overwhelmed with pure power.

“First Wave.”

The swordsman lightly waved, raising one wave.

He felt it wasn’t enough.

“Second Wave.”

The power stacked, and the ocean began to roar.

Wave after wave stacked until the Ninth Wave, when the ocean seemed to surge with tsunamis, a force rivaling natural disasters.

Just as Yun Jin thought this was the Blue Lotus Sword Technique’s limit, the swordsman suddenly frowned, “No, perhaps…”

This still wasn’t right?

As Yun Jin leaned in to listen closely, the scene suddenly vanished.

She stared at her familiar bamboo hut, dazed.

At this moment, she had mastered the eleventh sword intent.

“Wave Sword Intent.”

A supreme sword technique that stacked power layer by layer for direct confrontation.

The Blue Lotus Sword Technique was officially mastered.

But recalling the swordsman’s unfinished thought, Yun Jin felt intrigued.

She quickly realized.

This Blue Lotus Sword Technique was merely the entry-level technique of Kunlun Sword Sect’s secret Heaven-grade Blue Lotus Sword Classic!

The Nine Waves were the Blue Lotus Sword Technique’s limit, but not the Blue Lotus Sword Classic’s!

To continue practicing, she’d likely need to join Kunlun Sword Sect!

Yun Jin suppressed her excitement from watching the swordsman practice. No rush – her path was still long, with many mountains ahead.

But as long as she kept going, one day she would reach a point where she could overlook all lesser peaks.
