Chapter 207: Secret News (1)
Back in his cave, Lu Sheng sat down cross-legged at the first available opportunity, held his breath and sensed if anyone was spying on him . After confirming that he was alone, he called out in his mind, "Deep Blue . "
The Modifier screen appeared before him, floating in mid-air .
"As expected…" Lu Sheng saw an additional line of words in the last row as he had expected .
'Three Yin Technique: Uninitiated . Special Effect(s): None . '
'As expected, the Modifier regards even body tempering methods like those in the sect as martial arts . Previously, I tried cultivating the secret art in the booklet obtained from umbrella girl . But even after Yingying explained it as clear as can be, the Modifier just did not record it . But now Three Yin Technique has been included within the realm of martial arts by the Modifier… Looks like I've made a right move in coming to Prime Devil Sect .
Yin Qi's not enough . But I've got my Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi . That can replace Yin Qi up to a certain extent . It's not much, but it shouldn't be a problem for a foundational skill like this . Let's try . '
Lu Sheng's adjusted his mental frame and decided to try to upgrade Three Yin Technique . He was excited to see what kind of upgrade it would do to his overall strength if he could integrate the Noblemen's system of cultivation into his own .
With great familiarity, he clicked the Modify button on the screen . The button appeared behind most martial arts, save for that Three Yin Technique . Lu Sheng focused on that box in his mind .
It was in vain .
'Since it's appeared in the box, it should mean that the Modifier can modify it . That's how I programmed it initially . If I'm not wrong, it should be because I've yet to be initiated in it, that's why I cant upgrade it . Three Yin Technique shouldn't belong to the realm of outer force skill and cant be upgraded directly . '
Having thought through it, Lu Sheng was no longer in a hurry . Anyway, since this skill did not involve the use of the black membrane, it was only a matter of a few days before he achieved initiation in it given his achievement in the path of martial arts and the extent of control over his own body .
'No hurry… I'll go ask the others what are the do's and don't's in the Sect . ' At that thought, Lu Sheng could not sit still any longer . He was itching to go to the library again, but something about that place felt bizarre . Before understanding what it was, he felt uneasy about going back to that place .
He stood up, changed his clothes and walked out of the cave . A few steps later, he was greeted by He Xiangzi who was just coming up the flight of stairs .
"Nice timing, Junior Apprentice Brother Lu . Master has asked me to explain the do's and don't's in the Sect to you . "
"Oh, Senior Apprentice Sister He Xiangzi . Alright, I'll have to trouble you then . Please come to my cave and have a seat . " Lu Sheng was about to find Song Zi'an, but Grand Elder had already sent He Xiangzi to him . It was just what he needed .
The two of them returned to the cave . He Xiangzi surveyed Lu Sheng's cave, finding nothing fanciful in it . Everything in it were ordinary average items, with nothing special about them .
"Junior Apprentice Brother, just call me Senior Apprentice Sister He Xiang .
About the taboos in the sect, they're simple . Number one, do your very best to get back into your cave before night falls and ignore anything that happens outside . Just rest .
Number two, there're some places you must not enter . Three of them, mainly: Devil's Pool, Secret Arts Hall, and any unlabeled cave . "
"Please explain, Senior Apprentice Sister," Lu Sheng listened attentively .
He Xiangzi sat down and explained seriously, "The Devil's Pool is a place we use to train in at the later stages of our cultivation . It's meant for training higher, stronger levels and it's filled with lethal, corrosive smoke . There're also lots of live, active forces in it . It's still too early for you to make any contact with it . But you'll learn more about it in time to come .
There's a huge sign outside Devil's Pool . It's a large golden basin with a stick of incense in it . If the incense is lit, it means there's still power in the pool . Don't enter without making preparations, lest case you get hurt . "
He Xiangzi glanced at Lu Sheng and added,
"In the past, a disciple died in it . He didn't develop his bloodline, which was weak and diluted to begin with, adequately . It was courting death for him to have entered . "
"Mm, I got it . " Lu Sheng nodded .
"Oh, and there's more than one Devil's Pool . Pay attention to the signs outside . If the incense is unlit, you may enter, but there's no point in that . It's empty and still accumulating power," He Xiangzi continued .
"Next is the Secret Arts Hall . That's on the right of this stone wall, through the Devil's Graveyard . It's not guarded, and ninety-nine percent of the secret arts in it are lost . The remainder have been kept away by Master, so it's empty except for some dangerous traps left over from the last . On top of that, there're wandering Forbidding Puppets . Best not to go in for no reason . Not even Master wants to go in . "
"Forbidding Puppets?" Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed .
"A type of monster . When you've the chance to, you can look from afar and you'll know what I'm talking about . " He Xiangzi did not have much of an expression on her face . "The last is unlabeled caves . "
"Unlabeled caves?" Lu Sheng repeated .
"That's right . Because our ancestors researched so many Devils, the remaining Devil aura has attracted many problems . That's how the unlabeled caves came about .
Those caves are constantly spewing out Devil aura . Any sort of danger can happen within . So, never, ever enter them," He Xiangzi instructed solemnly .
"Senior Apprentice Sister, since there're so many dangers, why haven't we relocated?" Lu Sheng was puzzled .
"Because the denser the Devil aura in a place, the faster it is for us to cultivate in it . The highest risk gives the highest returns," He Xiangzi explained . "It's just like how fire-based Noble Families build their base at the entrance of the volcano . Same principle . "
"I understand now… Devil's Pool, Secret Arts Hall, and unlabeled caves . "
"As long as you understand . When you master Three Yin Technique, you can cultivate Karmaless Skill and temper your body in the Devil's Pool . When that time comes, you may enter them and they wouldn't be places of absolute danger to you . "
"Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister," Lu Sheng thanked her politely .
