Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 78 - 73 Luo Fu Sword Scripture

"Immortal Sects and Buddhist temples all establish Ancestor Master placards, Divine statues, and Buddha statues to draw in the faith of their followers. Presently, in Upper Sun Country, Spiritual Energy has been severed, and no sects have settled there. If one could establish a sect and spread the teachings of the Dao, it is possible to harvest the Incense Fire of faith even without being a Divine deity."

Immortal Sect Great Sect!

Apart from the Incense Fire offered by divine deities, the largest source of Incense Fire comes from propagating the teachings of the Dao and slaying demons and eradicating evil. The widespread dissemination of the teachings leads to numerous disciples, and the act of worshiping gathers Incense Fire. Moreover, the level of Immortal Sect disciples far surpasses that of ordinary mortals, with pure thoughts. The Incense Fire generated by worshiping Ancestor Masters is particularly rich and powerful.

In the Ancestor Master Halls of those great Immortal Sects, the condensed Incense Fire is no less than that of Second or First-grade Venerable Gods. The flourishing state of a sect can also be discerned from the aura of its Incense Fire.

"Ordinary statues and placards can gather Incense Fire through long-term worship, but after all, it is not the orthodox method."

"Those statues and placards that are refined through special techniques, however, can hold vast amounts of Incense Fire like a Divine Dao Seal. By promoting the teachings of the Dao and faith in Upper Sun Country, as long as I periodically send Puppets to replace these statues and placards and collect those filled with Incense Fire, I can have a continuous supply for refining Heavenly Silver."

Lu Qingfeng pondered deeply.

Unfortunately, the method of condensing a Divine Dao Seal is a forbidden art in the Red Smoke Realm and is tightly controlled by the great Immortal Sects, never to be divulged. Even when Immortal Sects bestow divinity to deities, only those holding a talismanic decree are able to condense a Dharma Seal.

Creating something out of nothing is indeed difficult.

Lu Qingfeng dared not act boldly in acquiring such techniques.

On the other hand, orthodox methods for refining statues, placards, and Ancestor Master statues are not hard to find. Lu Qingfeng, well-connected and having many contacts within the Luo Fu Sword Sect, managed to find a widely-known Ancestor Master Statue refining technique from an Intermediate Immortal Sect.

In his desire to gather Incense Fire in Upper Sun Country, Lu Qingfeng concludes that establishing a sect is the most stable approach.

Although resorting to corrupt ceremonies and idolatrous worship could collect Incense Fire faster, and no one in Upper Sun Country could punish Lu Qingfeng, there was ultimately no need to stray from the righteous path.

...

After entering the Luo Fu Sword Sect and becoming a disciple under True Man Iron Feather, Lu Qingfeng was granted techniques by Iron Feather True Man, receiving two Magic Gates.

[Skill: Luo Fu Sword Scripture (Incomplete)]

[Grade: Side Door Level]

[Features: Luo Fu Sword Qi, Luofu Heart Lamp]

[Description: Luo Fu Sword Sect's foundational Cultivation Technique, possesses a small renown in the Red Smoke Realm]

...

[Technique: Flower Walking (Incomplete)]

[Grade: High-level]

[Description: 'Flower Walking transitions to Sword Walking', this is an Escape Skill extremely suitable for sword cultivators. Bestowed by True Man Iron Feather, it is currently incomplete and only applicable for Foundation Establishment Stage]

...

"Flower Walking" was an Escape Skill acquired by Iron Feather True Man in his early years. Using this skill to roam the world, he had numerous opportunities, which allowed him to make rapid progress, advance to the Spirit Void Realm, and ultimately become a Jiedan True Man. He gained a high status within the Luo Fu Sword Sect.

He took on Lu Qingfeng as a disciple and granted him this technique.

"So it turns out to be an incomplete Escape Skill."

Lu Qingfeng, holding the Jade Scroll, inscribed "Flower Walking" onto his character panel, thinking to himself.

Various low-level and middle-level techniques are not uncommon in the world.

However, high-level techniques can be considered Secret Techniques, implying they are kept secret and rare in the world. For Iron Feather True Man to bestow a Secret Technique to Lu Qingfeng, who just became his disciple, seems overly casual.

If it's just an incomplete Escape Skill, then it makes sense.

Low-level techniques are suitable for Postnatal Stage and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Middle-level techniques are suitable for Spirit Void and Jindan Cultivators.

High-level techniques, on the other hand, can fully unleash the strength of even old monsters at the Primordial Spirit Stage, which is why they are called secret techniques.

However, "Flower Walking" can only be used during the Foundation Establishment Stage; it has no use at higher levels such as the Spirit Void or Core Formation Stage. Forcing its use is even inferior to ordinary escape skills; hence, it's only logical that Iron Feather True Man, a major power at the Core Formation Stage, would not pay much attention to it.

"Nevertheless, for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, such a secret technique holds the utmost life-preserving value."

Lu Qingfeng felt a newfound respect for his bargain master.

After all, for him at present, "Flower Walking" was a genuinely high-level technique!

"Not only that."

"Although 'Flower Walking' is incomplete, with the 'Yellow Court Scripture' in hand, I can complete it so that it can be used even at the Spirit Void, Core Formation, and Primordial Spirit Stages. Strengthening it could also save a substantial amount of Experience Value."

Elated, Lu Qingfeng resisted the urge to immediately start his cultivation and turned to look at the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture."

The Luo Fu Sword Sect was built around their sword techniques, and the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture" is their fundamental skill. Lu Qingfeng, being the Seventh Grade Mountain God of Fufeng Mountain and a disciple of a Jindan True Man, is not considered core lineage of the Luo Fu Sword Sect, yet it's still fitting that he was granted the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture."

"The 'Luo Fu Sword Scripture' given by my master only covers the Postnatal and Foundation Establishment Stages. If I want the subsequent techniques, there will certainly be various tests. The law is not transmitted lightly, let alone the 'Luo Fu Sword Scripture,' a side door level skill."

Lu Qingfeng was clear in his heart.

High-level skills with incomplete versions have limited achievements.

Like the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture" he currently held, being a side door level skill, it could be cultivated to the realm of a Mahayana True Immortal.

But it only covered the Postnatal and Foundation Establishment parts; beyond the Spirit Void Realm, unless one passes the Luo Fu Sword Sect's assessments and receives further techniques, one would have to switch methods or derive a new path based on the incomplete version of the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture."

Neither option is easy.

Like the Refined Level "Qingyuan Sword Technique" Lu Qingfeng initially acquired, due to its incompleteness, its value was greatly diminished, and that's why he was able to obtain it.

"The Luo Fu Sword Sect would love for the early teachings of the 'Luo Fu Sword Scripture' to spread, enticing more cultivators to practice it and then join them for the subsequent techniques. The Luo Fu Sword Sect would then be able to select the best of the best, recruiting talents from all over the world!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Managing a large Immortal Sect is intricate, too much so to fully express. Just peeking at the tip of the iceberg through one technique tells so little.

Gathering his thoughts,

Lu Qingfeng focused on the two special traits of the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture."

He only had the incomplete version, so only the special traits that could be mastered at the Postnatal and Foundation Establishment Stages were available to him.

There's no need to elaborate on Luo Fu Sword Qi.

It is similar to the Qingyuan Sword Radiance trait of the "Qingyuan Sword Technique," capable of compressing Inner Breath and True Qi at the Postnatal Stage to release Sword Qi.

Its power is considerable.

As for the 'Luofu Heart Lamp,' it brought Lu Qingfeng a pleasant surprise.

Disciples of the Luo Fu Sword Sect who practice the "Luo Fu Sword Scripture" can, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, condense their True Yuan into a Heart Lamp, dubbed the 'Luofu Heart Lamp.'

If one can cultivate this Heart Lamp and successfully kindle its flame, it will help the cultivator understand their true self, repel external demons, and speed up cultivation. In addition, the flame of the Heart Lamp can also burn nature's spiritual energy, condensing True Yuan within the body, thereby improving the quality of the True Yuan and strengthening the foundation.

Besides cultivation, it is also one of the Luo Fu Sword Sect disciples' top fighting techniques.

Using the will and True Yuan as the oil, one lights the Heart Lamp.

With a gentle flick, the flame can transform into a Sword Qi that strikes at enemies, powerful enough to match middle-level techniques.

If materials such as Heavenly Orchid Silk, Ziyu Spirit Blood, and Evil Heart Heavenly Rock, among others, are blended in to turn the Luofu Heart Lamp into a tangible magic artifact, its might and the benefits to one's cultivation can be greatly enhanced.
