Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 198: Such a Melodramatic Plot

Chen Jia, a prodigious figure from two thousand years ago, whose swordsmanship amazed the entire Xuan Gui Continent, was known as the Wind-Slashing Swordsman. In terms of swordsmanship, no one in his era could rival him. After achieving Innate Perfection, he began to seek ways to venture out to sea. Ultimately, he found like-minded individuals to set sail with, but unfortunately, all perished in the ocean except him, who barely escaped back to the Xuan Gui Continent.

After healing his injuries, he sought other methods to venture out to sea, unwilling to be trapped on the Xuan Gui Continent. Finally, he accidentally discovered the Stone Tablet Array in a mountain range, activated it, and used it to leave the Xuan Gui Continent, arriving at the Luoxing Islands.

This is what Zhong Lin summarized based on Chen Jia’s words.

Chen Jia found the continuation of Martial Arts on the Luoxing Islands. After years of adventuring, his cultivation gradually broke through to Spiritual Origin and Transcendent, eventually becoming a powerful Xuandan Realm cultivator.

Just when he was feeling proud, he caught the attention of a powerful figure from a major force, who called him the "descendant of Sin Blood" before angrily attacking him.

If not for his opportunities, he would have perished long ago. After narrowly escaping, he chose to return to the Xuan Gui Continent. The reason he could survive for so long was that this ring could nurture the soul. Otherwise, his soul would have long dissipated into the world.

Zhong Lin sat on a blue stone beside him, listening to Chen Jia’s eloquent words, with a peculiar look on his face.

Transmission Array... descendant of Sin Blood...

Is this really the Martial Arts World or the Cultivation World, how come there are Transmission Arrays as well?

And what about this descendant of Sin Blood, why does it have such a melodramatic smell?

"Senior, what is a Transmission Array?"

Zhong Lin couldn’t help but express his thoughts and asked.

"It is a method of void transmission, a legacy long severed on the Xuan Gui Continent. Through a Transmission Array, one can travel thousands of miles in an instant. The sea surrounding the Xuan Gui Continent is extremely dangerous. Not to mention Innate Martial Artists, even those in the Xuandan Realm dare not cross it casually. The only way to leave the Xuan Gui Continent is through a Transmission Array," Chen Jia explained.

Damn, it really is.

"And what on earth is the descendant of Sin Blood?"

Chen Jia’s face darkened, but he still shook his head and said, "All these years, I have been thinking about this issue but can never figure it out. I suppose it is another piece of history buried in dust. Perhaps only those significant figures in major sects know, but one thing is clear, many martial artists outside harbor extreme hatred toward those of us who emerge from the Xuan Gui Continent. They attack us without hesitation, like those ancient deep-sea beasts."

The melodrama smell grew stronger, and dozens of different plot scenarios appeared in Zhong Lin’s mind.

The righteous, the villainous, the undercover, the misunderstood...

Never mind, no strength to complain.

"Zhong Lin, would you like to become my disciple?" Chen Jia suddenly asked.

Zhong Lin was also taken aback.

Is this moving so quickly?

Not even conducting some tests?

Zhong Lin feigned hesitation and said, "Senior, this junior already has a master; it’s not suitable to take another master."

"It doesn’t matter. I won’t hide from you the fact that I am severely injured, leaving only a fragment of my soul to heal in this Soul Nourishing Ring. If not for you nurturing it with Innate True Qi, it would take at least a hundred years to restore Spiritual Wisdom. Now, I am taking you as my disciple to pass on the Martial Arts cultivation methods beyond Innate, hoping you can help me reconstruct the body. You may consider this a transaction; how about it?" Chen Jia said with a smile.

"The body can be reconstructed?" Zhong Lin asked curiously.

"Of course, the Martial Arts heritage on the Xuan Gui Continent is severed. The highest one can cultivate is only to the Innate Realm, unaware of the mystery of Martial Arts, which is to constantly break limits, ultimately ascend to the Divine Realm, achieving immortality and omnipotence as a divine being. In my lifetime, I reached the Xuandan Realm, the embryo of the Dao, the foundation of Martial Arts; otherwise, my soul would not have remained. So, is this deal on or not?"

Thump!

Zhong Lin knelt in front of Chen Jia, like a mountain collapsing or a jade pillar falling.

"Zhong Lin pays respect to Master. Disciple promises that one day, I will reconstruct the body for Master."

"Hahaha, good, good, good, my obedient disciple, stand up quickly."

Chen Jia laughed heartily and made a gesture of a virtual lift with his hand.

"Thank you, Master."

"I now only have a remnant soul and cannot manifest much. From now on, nourish the Soul Nourishing Ring with True Qi every three days, rest assured, it won’t absorb as before."

As he spoke, Chen Jia’s soul submerged into the Soul Nourishing Ring, seemingly as if it were an illusion just now.

Zhong Lin got up, walked over, and picked up the Soul Nourishing Ring.

"Zhong Lin."

Chen Jia’s voice echoed in Zhong Lin’s mind.

"From now on, we can converse in our minds. Once you’ve stabilized your cultivation, I will pass on advanced Martial Arts to you."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Chen Jia’s voice fell silent, and a smile appeared on Zhong Lin’s face. Though the world’s truth seemed melodramatic, at least the goal was achieved.

Zhong Lin was extremely satisfied with his venture to the Chen Kingdom Capital this time. Not only had his cultivation reached Innate Perfection, but he also awakened the "Ring Grandpa." As long as this cheap Master didn’t deceive him, it meant he could use the Transmission Array at any time to go to another continent where Martial Arts was stronger.

Glancing at the Spiritual Pool, which was left with only a thin layer of Spiritual Liquid, it seemed Jiang Feng would cry to death.

This place held no value anymore. Zhong Lin stepped away, passed through the cave, walked through the stone wall passage, and emerged outside Dragon Mountain.

"It’s been a long time, the sunshine, Zhong Lin, where is this place?"

Chen Jia’s voice came from the ring, resonating in Zhong Lin’s mind.

"Chen Kingdom Capital, Dragon Mountain. I traded a Life Extension Pill for the chance to cultivate in the Spiritual Pool. Without this Spiritual Liquid, I fear I wouldn’t have been able to awaken Master."

Zhong Lin said with a smile, also transmitting through his heart.

"Life Extension Pill? That’s a good thing. Where did you get it?"

"I made it myself. Disciple is a Fourth Grade Alchemist."

"Really?"

Chen Jia also trembled slightly, full of pleasant surprise.

"Yes, disciple has quite a talent for Alchemy."

"Hahaha, good, good, good. I didn’t expect you are also an Alchemy genius. A Fourth Grade Alchemist, even on Luoxing Islands, you will have a place. At that time, you can better gather resources and enhance your cultivation," Chen Jia said with joy.

Zhong Lin was moved in his heart and asked, "Master, is there a higher level of Pill Masters in the Luoxing Islands you mentioned?"

"Of course, and every Fifth Grade Alchemist is a guest of those major sects, much more splendid than my Xuandan cultivation back then!"

Chen Jia was exceptionally delighted, never expecting his cheap disciple to be an Alchemy genius. With this Alchemy technology, cultivation will be much simpler in the future.

"Grandmaster Zhong."

A sound came from afar, surprisingly Jiang Feng, though his hair seemed much darker now, clearly having consumed the Life Extension Pill. Ten years of life made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Grandmaster Zhong, you have finally emerged. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Haha, same to you, same to you."

"Grandmaster Zhong, I have ordered people to prepare some food and wine, shall we drink together?"

"Please."
