Lingxiao Zhenren's gaze froze.
His divine sense clearly detected that Shen Sangri had already inherited a new cultivation technique, one that was no less powerful than his own Xuanhuo Zhenlong Jue.
Lingxiao Zhenren's face immediately turned cold.
Shen Sangruo naturally knew why Master Lingxiao was acting this way, but she pretended not to know and asked, "Why does Master have such an expression?"
"Master?" Lingxiao Zhenren sneered, "You still consider me your master?"
His refusal to teach Shen Sangruo his martial arts techniques and Shen Sangruo's unwillingness to learn his techniques are two different things.
How could he tolerate his own disciple repeatedly practicing someone else's techniques?
The previous instigation technique was a minor, overused technique, not worth mentioning.
However, it is clear that Shen Sangri intends to continue practicing this technique, and it would be quite difficult to change the technique she is practicing.
If Shen Sangruo does this, isn't he just slapping him in the face?
"Is my cultivation technique so unworthy of your attention? You'd rather cultivate those dubious techniques than come to me?" Lingxiao Zhenren's voice was laced with anger.
Wen Xuan and Luo Chu were also somewhat bewildered, staring blankly at Chen Sangruo, their eyes filled with disbelief.
When did Shen Sangruo begin practicing other techniques?
They all knew that True Person Lingxiao also had a fire elemental root, and his Profound Fire True Dragon Technique was the most suitable for Shen Sangruo, who also had a fire elemental root.
If she were to cultivate this technique, with Shen Sangruo's talent and the guidance of Master Lingxiao, she would surely make rapid progress.
This is a cultivation technique that many fire-type cultivators would rather die than obtain, yet she simply gave it up.
"Master, you misunderstand. This is the opportunity I encountered in the secret realm," Shen Sanruo said calmly, without batting an eye.
"If I hadn't received this cultivation technique, how could I have survived the volcanic lava? Under these circumstances, does Master think I should have received this cultivation technique?"
Hearing her words, Master Lingxiao's expression softened slightly, but he still frowned.
“Master, in that perilous situation, Fifth Junior Sister only accepted other cultivation methods to protect herself. She did not disrespect you. Please do not blame her.” Wen Xuan hurriedly pleaded for her.
"I can overlook your crime of practicing other techniques without authorization." Master Lingxiao stared at her intently, "However, in order to demonstrate your identity as a disciple of Zhenlin Peak, you must change the technique you are practicing back to my Xuanhuo Zhenlong Technique."
"Afterwards, I will personally teach you cultivation, just as I promised you before."
The so-called alteration of cultivation methods involves forcibly severing the connection between the practitioner and the cultivation method using spiritual power, which includes the practitioner using the method to enhance their cultivation level.
However, that spiritual energy has already merged into the cultivator's physical body, and if the cultivator tries to remove this spiritual energy, the cultivator will suffer extremely severe backlash.
Not only will they experience excruciating pain throughout their bodies, but their cultivation level will also frequently regress.
"I will personally sever your connection with that technique and then pass on the Profound Fire True Dragon Technique to you."
Lingxiao Zhenren's tone was unyielding, and his eyes held a certainty.
He was certain that Shen Sanruo would choose to endure the pain that he considered insignificant and give up the cultivation technique she was currently practicing in order to cultivate his Profound Fire True Dragon Technique.
Even Wen Xuan was thinking about preparing some medicine to help Chen Sangruo recover, so that she could use it immediately after Lingxiao Zhenren removed that cultivation technique from her.
Everything was ready, and Master Lingxiao had already condensed the spiritual power that could be forcibly stripped away, waiting only for Shen Sangruo's answer.
All three pairs of eyes were on her.
To their surprise, Shen Sanruo merely raised her eyes slightly before coldly refusing, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but this disciple has no intention of giving up this cultivation technique."
What? Luo Chu blinked. Had he heard correctly?
She's gone mad! Shen Sangruo has truly gone mad!
Upon hearing her answer, Lingxiao Zhenren was momentarily distracted, and the spiritual energy in his hand went out of control, actually burning a small patch of his palm.
He secretly dispersed the spiritual energy in his hand, his gaze still fixed on Shen Sangruo.
No, it should be described as scrutinizing, examining, and trying to see through Chen Sangruo.
"When you were practicing that technique, you said you had to accept its inheritance in order to save your life."
"I want to know, now that you are standing here perfectly fine, what reason do you have for not wanting to give up this cultivation technique?"
Lingxiao Zhenren's eyes were eerily calm, a sign that he was desperately trying to suppress his anger.
"Master, you may not know this, but although I look no different from an ordinary person at the moment, the flames in the volcanic lava are strange fires that have invaded my body and are constantly burning my internal organs."
"Once I abandon my current cultivation method and switch to another, without the protection of the current method, that strange fire will instantly burn my internal organs to ashes and take my life in an instant."
Shen Sangruo spoke with utmost seriousness, and her solemn expression and fear at the risk of her life were extremely genuine.
It can be described as utter nonsense in a serious manner.
But it is true that what she said about dispelling the technique would endanger her life.
After all, she had used the Falling Cloud Glazed Fire Technique to rebuild her cultivation after experiencing the depletion of her cultivation in the Red Peak Fire Sea.
It can be said that all her current cultivation is related to the Falling Cloud Glazed Fire Technique; she and the Falling Cloud Glazed Fire Technique are now inseparable.
Forcibly severing her connection with the Falling Clouds Glazed Fire Technique would severely damage her foundation, potentially rendering her a cripple incapable of cultivation.
In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, wouldn't that be almost the same as killing her?
Wen Xuan and Luo Chu had no doubts about such words and actions, and naturally believed them.
Wen Xuan looked at her with a nervous and worried gaze. Luo Chu originally wanted to ask a few words of concern, but then she remembered that she and Shen Sangruo were still in a "cold war" state, so she angrily turned her eyes away.
But Lingxiao Zhenren is not someone who can be easily fooled.
Lingxiao Zhenren probed her several more times with his divine sense, but found no trace of any strange fire in her body.
He glanced at her, his voice cold, "Chen Sangruo, how dare you fabricate such a lie to deceive me in order to avoid cultivating my techniques?"
"What kind of strange fire do you have within your body?"
Towards the end, Master Lingxiao's tone became tinged with anger.
How could the dignified peak master of Zhenlin Peak tolerate being deceived by such a crude lie?
And they even tricked him using his most proficient fire magic.
If Shen Sangruo is truly audacious enough to disregard his master!
Even after being exposed, Shen Sangruo remained calm and composed when facing the enraged Lingxiao Zhenren, showing no sign of panic.
She said calmly, "That strange fire is unusual, so it's normal that Master can't see it."
The implication is: You're just too inexperienced.
Lingxiao Zhenren laughed in fury, "Are you mocking me?"
Shen Sanruo lowered her head and said meekly, "This disciple dares not. Master has misunderstood this disciple. This disciple is only telling the truth."
