As it turns out, after being elevated by Yun Shoushen, even a single scallion is better than countless delicacies.
The middle-aged woman chewed on a small piece of scallion, feeling a surge of energy flowing through her body from head to toe.
A continuous stream of life force flowed into her body, and she enjoyed the essence of Yun Shou's power. Not only did the stubborn poison on her legs disappear, but even the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, making her look at least eight years younger!
So she picked up one scallion after another, and even secretly hid a few scallions in her sleeve when Yun Shou wasn't looking.
"A disgraceful disciple."
Li Qinghe felt he couldn't bear to look.
This junior of the Sword Sect has such low cultivation. He has clearly entered the upper three ranks and his true energy is inexhaustible, yet he cannot use his stomach as a pouch.
Unlike those martial arts masters who hide spiritual food in their stomachs and store it with their true energy, releasing their energy to seal it away when needed to prevent waste.
After finishing breakfast, Yun Shou decided to wander around the Dust Origin Realm to kill the remaining dozen or so hours.
The three local martial arts masters all sincerely invited Yun Shou to visit their homes.
Li Qinghe was the first to be affected. He pointed out that the Tai'a Sword Sect was only seven thousand miles away, the closest to the restaurant, and could be reached in a flash.
With the power of the four realms, at full speed, one can travel at least three or four thousand miles in a single breath, so seven thousand miles is indeed nothing.
Li Qinghe had only been ascending to immortality for a little over three hundred years, and the Tai'a Sword Sect was at the height of its power, being the number one sect in Tiancang Prefecture, with a territory spanning 1.7 million miles!
Martial artists of the lowest ranks (9th to 7th grade) are merely menial laborers and outer disciples. Only those who reach the middle rank can be considered elite inner disciples, but they are still just disciples.
The highest level is comparable to the Innate level, and one can obtain a certain position. Only the Heavenly Martial King level can be considered a true sect powerhouse and the backbone of the sect.
"As expected of the Sword Sect, everyone here is a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
Yun Shou's gaze swept over the many disciples, all of whom had long legs; the men had cakes on their heads, and the women had lipsticks on their lips.
There are almost no ugly ones. This was Li Qinghe's personal habit in his early years. He was a pure face-value enthusiast. His disciples could be slightly less talented, but their looks absolutely could not be lacking!
Under his teachings, the disciples and successors he later accepted were naturally not to be ugly, resulting in the entire Sword Sect being full of handsome men and beautiful women. This was the atmosphere that the founder had set in motion.
Even those who have reached middle age still retain the demeanor of their youth.
Even the elderly are handsome old men or cool old women, possessing the bone structure of a beautiful woman.
Sword Washing Style, Heavenly Sword Peak, Ancient Sword Secret Realm...
Even the Sword Intent Cultivation Secret Realm, which even Martial King level experts can only apply to visit once every few months, was wide open to Yun Shou and his group of four, with the central portal left wide open for them to come and go as they pleased.
In the sword-fighting arena, Yun Shou stood on a high platform, watching the many disciples below compete and practice martial arts.
From time to time, phantom images appeared on their bodies. The phantom images on most of the disciples were hazy figures in blue robes. The original form of those figures was Li Qinghe, Yun Shou's little follower.
"Gods and Demons Martial Arts..."
Yun Shou murmured, "This extraordinary system is actually an 'adaptive system,' and the quality of the Dao Seal depends on the situation."
A more accurate name for it is "Visualization Martial Arts".
It means observing a top expert, then striving to emulate that expert, using them as a benchmark for cultivation, and ultimately imitating or even surpassing them.
Many martial artists contemplate fantastical gods and demons because their potential is indeed high; if they were to condense a Dao Seal, its quality could reach as high as nine points!
However, the downside is that progress is too slow. After all, it's still uncertain whether those gods and demons are even fabricated, and our understanding of them is too weak, lacking any real references.
After Li Qinghe made his final leap, breaking through from the third realm of Divine Demon Martial Emperor to the fourth realm of Martial Dao Supreme, the disciples of Tai'a Sword Sect used him as a benchmark for meditation.
Because he truly existed and left behind many deeds and legacies, his disciples progressed quite rapidly.
The drawback is that the quality of the Dao Seal is only five points, and since Li Qinghe himself has only just entered the fourth realm, most of the disciples can only stop at the late stage of the third realm when they use him as the object of their contemplation, and are shrouded in his powerful shadow.
But it was still very profitable!
The same person, when contemplating those fantastical gods and demons, can become a Martial King with a combat power of 100 at the age of 1000, and then die of old age at the Martial King realm.
Visualizing Li Qinghe, he could become a Martial King with a combat power of 60 at the age of 400. Although he was weaker than the Martial King mentioned above, he could break through to become a Martial Emperor with a combat power of 600 at the age of 1800!
It may be a constraint for exceptional geniuses, but for the vast majority of martial artists, it is the right path!
It's like asking whether you'd rather have ten million and just coast along, never getting any more money from any other source, or take one dollar to a casino and win thirty times in a row, earning a billion?
Of course, the gap isn't that huge. Even if a true genius visualizes Li Qinghe, he can still surpass him in the late stage of the third realm, or even replace him with his own image.
Song Batu, one of Yun Shou's three henchmen, did exactly that.
When he first embarked on his cultivation journey, he chose a rather weak visualization diagram. As his martial arts skills improved, he kept changing it until he eventually grew tired of it.
He forcibly shattered the external visualization image and then imprinted his domineering figure onto it, visualizing himself stepping into the realm of martial arts supreme, and changed his name to Song Batu accordingly.
Yun Shou's eyes swept over the many disciples below with an expression of appreciation.
