Looking at Lin Yang who was standing in front of him and had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lin Fan showed joy on his face, but there was deep worry hidden in his eyes.
"Alright, you've already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at just eighteen. Great, great! This talent is considered mid-level within the family. You can rest for two days, and I'll hold a Foundation Establishment Feast for you. We'll discuss other arrangements after the feast."
"Everything is subject to my father's arrangements."
After Lin Fan reported the latest information about Lin Yang, he immediately received a reply.
“Guiding research and development.”
After Lin Yang returned, he received another task.
"Beep—Random Mission: Make a Big Move.
Mission: According to tradition, someone will challenge you at the Foundation Building Feast. Practice and complete the "Five Elements Sword Technique - Wood Element" before the Feast.
Reward: Method for refining the Wood Spirit Sword."
The "Five Elements Sword Technique" is a complementary sword technique to the "Five Elements Hunyuan Sword Technique", but the method of refining the wood element spirit sword is not included in it.
The Five Elements Hunyuan Sword Art states that it is best to specialize in one of the eight elements during the foundation-building period, using a spirit sword with the corresponding attribute. However, there is no specific method for refining a spirit sword.
This is normal. For a practice, the main parts are the power and the method. It is sufficient to record these two in detail. Other aspects do not need to be recorded in detail, as they do not affect the completeness of the practice.
The "Wood Spirit Sword Refining Method" is a separate method, similar to the "Demon Slaying Visualization Method." However, it complements the "Five Elements Hunyuan Sword Technique." This is the untold secret, the true method.
The system did not allow him to promote it, nor did it allow him to keep it secret, but Lin Yang also understood the reason behind it and did not hand over the "Demon-Slaying Visualization Method" to his father, or to his family.
Even if the family knew, they would not pursue the matter. This was an unspoken rule. Every cultivator would not record the true method in the public exercises. The true method was generally passed down orally, and only passed on to true disciples or family heirs.
It is not surprising that there are so many branches in a family and each branch has its own authentic method.
In the system function bar, the virtual space - Kendo Room, changed from gray to green, and Lin Yang could click to enter again.
Entering the virtual space of the kendo room, the kendo teacher nodded and said
"Yes, you have advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now you can practice the Five Elements Sword Technique. Among the five elements, the wood element sword technique is the most gentle and suitable for beginners. Today, I will teach you the Five Elements Sword Technique: Wood Element."
Then I saw the kendo teacher starting to dance with a sword with a branch. The kendo teacher looked like a tall and strong middle-aged man, but after dancing the "Wood Element", he looked like a vine growing around a tree, then like a weeping willow by the river swaying in the wind, then like a cactus in the desert, then like a tenacious tree, then like a flower, then like grass, and finally he looked like a garden, a forest, all flowers, plants and trees.
Lin Yang was stunned. After the Kendo teacher stopped dancing with the sword, Lin Yang came back to his senses and said excitedly
"What's going on? Was what I just saw an illusion?"
The kendo teacher shook his head.
"It's not an illusion, it's a sword intent formation. You've just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and your sword intent is just beginning to form. It's a chaotic mess, without any specific sword intent. I was just practicing the 'Five Elements Sword Technique: Wood Element' with the corresponding sword intent, and that's what created the sword intent formation. It seems real and illusory, both real and illusory, the sword aura is hidden, and the sword intent is forming."
"So that's how it is." Although he didn't understand why it was so powerful, Lin Yang finally understood why sword cultivation had become one of the main cultivation methods in this world.
These seem to be no different from the attacking spells in the wood element spells of traditional cultivators.
It turns out that this is how the sword energy is used after the foundation-building stage.
Does it need to be used in conjunction with sword intent?
The sword intent belongs to the spiritual realm, and the sword aura belongs to the energy realm. The two complement each other and double their power.
Lin Yang began to practice the Wood Element Chapter seriously with his swordsmanship teacher. With the teacher's help, corrections, and guidance, and Lin Yang's own good swordsmanship talent, he completed the Wood Element Chapter in three months.
"You've already completed your training. You need to practice again in the real world until you're as good as you are in the virtual space. Only then can you be considered complete. Okay, stop wasting time and return to the real world."
The kendo teacher waved his hand, and when Lin Yang opened his eyes again, he arrived in the real world.
Lin Yang kept his kendo teacher's teachings in mind and immediately began to practice "The Wood Element of the Five Elements Sword Technique" in the real world.
Because the sword intent had already been formed in the virtual space, it was easier to get started. In less than a day, half of it was completed. After practicing it a few times the next morning, it was almost the same as in the virtual space. The rest was just a matter of patience.
Lin Fan sent someone to inform Lin Yang that the foundation-building banquet was ready and asked him to attend. Lin Yang immediately made some preparations and arrived at the banquet.
Zhao Ning followed his father over, still with a confused expression on his face. After sitting down, he confirmed again
"This is Lin Yang's Foundation Establishment Banquet. Did we come to the right place?"
"No. I am the one who came to the Young City Lord's Foundation Building Banquet." The maid beside him replied.
"I saw Lin Yang over a month ago, and he was only at the sixth level of Qi training. How come he's already advanced to the foundation-building stage in just over a month?"
"We are not serving in the Young Master's Mansion, so we don't know."
Zhao Ning's father scolded Zhao Ning in a low voice
"Shut up! Do you think you can talk about the Young City Lord behind his back?!"
This is the City Lord's Mansion, my dear, please be quiet for a while. If something happens here, our whole family will be buried here.
No matter how devastated Zhao Ning's father was, Zhao Ning continued to do his own thing.
"Hmph! That brat Lin Yang must have taken the Foundation Establishment Pill and forced his way through. He's completely disregarded his dignity in order to become the city lord. I'm going to make him pay in a minute. Sun Yuan, have you found the person I asked you to look for?"
"Master, I've found it."
"Alright, that's it. The grand Foundation Establishment Banquet has become a mockery of its former glory!"
Zhao Ning's father already had the urge to sever the father-son relationship with Zhao Ning.
He was busy expanding his family and had no time to manage and educate Zhao Ning, so his only son was spoiled by his mother and became a complete playboy!
This is really going to be a rip-off!
Lin Fan, Lin Yang and the five tribesmen who came to support walked in together from outside.
Zhao Ning pointed at the five people behind him and asked
"Who are they?"
There are five such young and unfamiliar people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and they appear at once. How could they not attract attention?
Sun Yuan glanced at it and replied
"It is said that they are all members of the Lin family, but not from the upper branch. They are from another branch and came to support City Lord Lin."
Zhao Ning seemed to have found the truth.
"No wonder they used the Foundation Establishment Pill. It turns out that their branch, which was separated from them, coveted it, and they had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. They held the Foundation Establishment Feast at this time to further confirm Lin Yang's status!"
