Chapter 52: Chapter 35: 50 Years of Cultivation, Heart Seal Tempers the Soul

Late at night.

Li Yinsheng emerged from Junior Martial Uncle Jiang’s bedroom with a look of complete satisfaction. After his Martial Uncle’s careful explanations from daytime until now, he had fully mastered the *Heart Seal Scripture*. Unfortunately, his Martial Uncle’s Main Cultivation Technique was a *Sword Scripture*, so she had never practiced the other text, the *Treasure Illumination Scripture*, nor did she remember it.

Otherwise, Li Yinsheng actually would have been quite tempted to switch his cultivation to the *Treasure Illumination Scripture*. The few Daoists in the temple, including his Martial Uncle, who didn’t practice it chose other Main Cultivation Techniques primarily because of their own Root Devices. For instance, his Martial Uncle’s Root Device was perfectly suited for a Sword Cultivator, and she was captivated by the Sword Dao, so she chose the *Sword Scripture* as her Main Cultivation Technique.

One senior who left behind notes had a Root Device geared toward Refining Body, but the *Treasure Illumination Scripture* didn’t emphasize that. Therefore, his Main Cultivation Technique was the *Five Chariots and Three Passengers’ Ultimate Destiny Technique* that Li Yinsheng had read before. Even the senior who became a Daoist through the *Qingxuan Scripture* chose that Cultivation Technique because it was a better fit. But that wasn’t the case for Li Yinsheng.

He practiced the *Qingxuan Scripture* simply because it was the best Cultivation Technique he could obtain at the time. If the *Profound Truth Treasure Radiance Heart Seal True Explanation* hadn’t been lost back then, he definitely would have practiced the *Treasure Illumination Scripture*. However, the *Qingxuan Scripture* itself wasn’t bad, and the Washing Marrow and Cleansing Veins effect of the Qingxuan Divine Light was extremely useful for his junior sister. If he switched his cultivation, he would lose the Qingxuan Divine Light. Compared to a new Cultivation Technique that was only a step above the *Qingxuan Scripture*, the benefits provided by the Grotto Heaven were undoubtedly countless times more important.

Furthermore, aside from learning the *Heart Seal Scripture* from his Martial Uncle today, Li Yinsheng also took the opportunity to ask her another question. Junior Sister Mu’s *Qingxuan Scripture* had already reached the second tier, meaning she could now learn Magic. If her goal was to prepare for the Lesser Yang Dao Examination, what Magic would be best for her to learn?

As a genius who had once shone brilliantly in the Lesser Yang Dao Examination, Junior Martial Uncle Jiang did not disappoint Li Yinsheng. After a moment of thought, she recommended an extremely suitable Sword Dao Magic. This was the advantage of having a reliable senior. Xuanzhen Temple’s Scripture Pavilion didn’t lack Cultivation Techniques, but finding the most useful one among those densely packed shelves was unimaginably difficult.

After leaving his Martial Uncle’s bedroom, Li Yinsheng walked over to the front of the main hall.

Junior Sister Mu was still training hard, sweating profusely. Of course, the main reason for this was that Li Yinsheng’s Divine Sense hadn’t left her for even a second. Whenever she tried to slack off, she would immediately receive a reminder from Li Yinsheng—delivered in an amiable tone with affectionate words.

"Senior Brother, you’re here! I missed you so much!" Seeing Li Yinsheng, Mu Xiaoyu stopped her training and cheered, about to run over to him. She put on a very well-behaved and obedient appearance.

"Junior Sister, keep training, or watch out for your snacks," Li Yinsheng said.

Caught trying to use this as an excuse to slack off, Mu Xiaoyu stiffened. She had no choice but to trudge dejectedly back to her spot and resume her training.

But soon, she realized something. Wait a minute! The reason she used to be threatened by her senior brother over snacks was that she couldn’t use a Qiankun Bag herself. All the snacks they bought had to be kept in his bag. She could only eat them if he gave them to her. But now she could use her own Qiankun Bag, which meant... she could hide in her room and eat them in secret!

At this thought, Mu Xiaoyu glanced down at the Qiankun Bag on her waist, her training movements involuntarily slowing down. She thought, "Hehehe... Even if I slack off just a tiny bit now, Senior Brother can’t do anything about it, right?"

"Are you thinking that since you can use a Qiankun Bag now, I won’t be able to confiscate your snacks even if you slack off?" Li Yinsheng suddenly spoke up from the side. He had anticipated this the moment Mu Xiaoyu learned to use the Qiankun Bag. Seeing her dare to slack off right in front of him after checking her bag, it wasn’t hard to guess what was on her mind.

Mu Xiaoyu startled, though she kept her movements slow as she looked at Li Yinsheng with an innocent expression. "You’re slandering me, Senior Brother! I would never slack off during training!"

Li Yinsheng looked at her, not arguing, but instead smiling. "Junior Sister, how many snacks are left in your Qiankun Bag? How long will they last you?"

"Um..." Mu Xiaoyu checked her Qiankun Bag, and her heart immediately sank.

The snacks inside were almost gone; the rest would last three to five days at most. Although she had bought quite a lot at Baoguang Temple a month ago, she ate them just as quickly.

"Your Qiankun Bag has limited space. Even if you packed it full of snacks, given how much you eat every day, there shouldn’t be much left, right?" Li Yinsheng asked faintly. "I wonder where you plan to buy more once they’re all gone?"

"You’re asking when you already know the answer, Senior Brother. I’ll go to Baoguang Temple, of course..." Mu Xiaoyu suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"And how do you plan to get there?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"Just like last time. You’ll fly me there," she replied with a look of pure innocence, even though she was already wailing internally.

"Well..." Li Yinsheng looked troubled. "You might not know this, but carrying someone while flying is actually very tiring.

"Why don’t you consider learning the Armor-Horse Skill so you can run to Baoguang Temple yourself?

"It’s not that far anyway, just a dozen mountains away. If you traverse them entirely on foot, the round trip is merely a few hundred miles of mountain roads.

"Oh, but you can’t get lost on the way, otherwise I have no idea how many extra miles you’ll end up running," Li Yinsheng chuckled.

Mu Xiaoyu’s training movements instantly became picture-perfect and meticulous. "Senior Brother! I promise I won’t slack off!"
