16 Granting An Opportunity - Two (2/2)
He improved the technique to match Elder Lin Dong's constitution, High-Grade Qi Distribution in general, Perfect Grade for the Elder!
He took notice of the best path inside the Elder's body and chose the best way through the channels, High-Grade Qi Might, Perfect Grade for the Elder!
He chose almost the same path as with his own cultivation art for the tempering, but purposely lowered its effect and the amount of energy needed so a common cultivator would not need as much as him to progress, High-Grade Body Strengthening!
He circulated the technique once more, happy with the results. This [One With The Wood] was now Heaven Tier Human Law, almost reaching peak Heaven tier for Lin Dong.
”Good!” Ming Ren smiled. Elder Lin Dong was flabbergasted. This youth learned the law as if it was nothing and circulated it at tremendous speed. He seemed to be focused on… changing the law? Was he going crazy? Could there be a cultivator that could change Cultivation Laws like this?
Were laws always this simple?
Ming Ren didn't need to recite the Law back. He merely extended his Spirit Sense until it touched the Elder's forehead and passed the Law to him. The Elder seemed in a daze, but as soon as the law popped in his mind he sat to cultivate.
He even forgot to question how Ming Ren passed the Law to him in the first place, since he wasn't able to understand his Spirit Sense.
Ming Ren only took less than fifteen minutes to improve the Law, but the Elder took an hour to completely understand all the changes and properly circulate it inside his body. It was nothing like before, frightening speed!
”This...this...this… Heaven Grade Cultivation Law!!! No, wait, higher than Heaven Grade…? HEAVENS!” The Elder almost died from shock. He stared at Ming Ren with wide open eyes. Who was this youth?!
In the next, second…
...Putong!
The Elder kowtowed on the ground in front of Ming Ren!
Ming Ren: ”O__________O Elder, please get up!”
The Elder was grateful from the bottom of his heart, ”Thank you, benefactor! As long as I live I will never let the Forest Clan forget your kindness! If Benefactor needs me to go east, I will never go west! I thank you for this chance!”
”Huh? Oh, Elder, please calm down. That wasn't the chance I was talking about. It was only a gift to you, Elder,” Ming Ren said casually.
The Elder's heart almost gave out. Only a gift? Not the chance? There's… more?
”You must remember to properly temper your body with this Cultivation Law before breaking through. Now, teach me… the Secret Arts of the Forest Clan!” Ming Ren said like it was nothing.
The Elder legs almost gave out and he wobbled vigorously. This time… Secret Arts? Is he going to…?
He blinked several times in a row to check if he was dreaming but then right away showed the Arts of the Forest Clan. They weren't anything special, but he made sure to show Fist, Palm, Sword, Spear, Leg, and Movement Techniques. As Ming Ren expected, they were fairly common at low-grade human tier and carried no innate element.
No matter what he tried Ming Ren was proficient at it. The Elder stood there dumbfounded as he saw Ming Ren practice each Art for a few minutes, completely mastering and improving them all. Compared to the time it took to create his own style, improving these arts that carried no innate element was even easier.
”Good!” Ming Ren finished, and once again used his Spirit Sense to transfer the techniques back to Elder Lin Dong. The Elder had tears of happiness flowing down his middle-aged face.
Although it was only a Body Tempering Real Cultivation Law, it was heaven-grade, and would even surpass common Spirit Sea-Based Laws. Those arts of his clan weren't anything special before, but now… they were all high-grade Human Tier arts. Even those top-ranked influences would be interested in them.
Earth Tier or Heaven Tier arts belonged both to the Spirit Sea and Spirit Gate Realm, respectively, and as such were extremely rare. Only the royal family had access to high-grade Earth Tier arts, and the top-ranked influences would do with low grade or middle grade.
But only very few of them would have Heaven-grade Human Tier arts, and his Forest Clan now had several of those. This kind of art would be able to reach power comparable to those low-grade Earth Tier arts and be extremely beneficial to their young cultivators.
This was the strength and foundation of an entire clan. With this, it would be a matter of time before the Forest Clan could rise to be of the best in the entire province, even without higher-tiered laws.
Elder Lin Dong thanked Min Ren non-stop. He would grovel at the ground if Ming Ren let him do it.
”Elder, this matter, cannot treat lightly. You should be aware of the kind of trouble those arts might bring. Before the Forest Clan is able to reach enough power to protect itself you must teach those only to the most talented of the clan, and never breath word of it outside. It would be ideal if only you, the Patriarch, and a few trusted elders know about it!” Ming Ren calmly said.
The Elder nodded, ”I was too happy there for a while, almost forgot the obvious. I will be extremely careful about this! I, Lin Dong, will forever be your loyal dog in gratitude for the Forest Clan! I can't speak for the clan itself, but I can bet the Patriarch will be willing to follow Young Lord Ming Ren in the future!”
Ming Ren smiled, ”I don't need a servant! What I need is a sharp sword! One that will keep our mutual enemies at bay and slash at their throats when they least expect!”
Elder Lin Dong clasped his hands, ”That I can promise! We will never forget that humiliation! Even if it takes thousands of years we will strike back!”
Ming Ren shook his head, ”Even ten years is too much!”
He thought about it for a few breaths, and once again his Spirit Sense flowed into the Elder's mind, transferring several Pill Recipes.
Ming Ren never thought about fighting alone.
With his current abilities, rising a clan status was only a matter of time and strategy. He would aim this ”sword” at the thing they liked the most...
...The Silver Clan and Sunflower Pavilion base industries!
