Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 423 - 8: First Hearing of the Five Viscera Will-Consolidating Method (3)

Hua Qianwu selected five crystal bottles this time, each of different sizes.

"Only when the five organs are balanced, allowing them to resonate, can one refine the Martial Path Will. The upcoming Fourth Transformation is precisely about achieving this balance, enhancing the five organs while addressing the disparities. Missing any transformation is not an option."

Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen: "Many who cultivate the Nine Revolutions of the Refining of the Viscera can’t bear the pain of the later transformations, which results in an imbalance of the five organs and an inability to consolidate the Martial Path Will."

"Dean, if that’s the case, then after the Fifth Transformation, wouldn’t nurturing a Spirit Soldier be enough? Like how you operated previously to address the imbalance."

Lin Chen recalled the dean’s earlier actions, thinking of a solution.

"Spirit Soldiers are not that easy to create. Let me put it this way, an ordinary martial artist can fix the imbalance by nurturing one Spirit Soldier, but you would need to nurture about a hundred Spirit Soldiers to address this gap."

"When a Martial Artist nurtures a Spirit Soldier, the first step is to choose a suitable weapon, then find materials to forge it. For instance, in forging a sword as a Spirit Soldier, if a martial artist’s most severe imbalance is in the kidneys, which are governed by water, then you must use water attribute materials to forge the Spirit Soldier."

"When I say you need to nurture a hundred Spirit Soldiers, I don’t mean you literally have to nurture a hundred, but the cost of forging your Spirit Soldier is equivalent to what an ordinary martial artist would spend on a hundred, and this is just a rough estimate. The reality could be even more serious."

Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen with a serious expression: "Some rare artifact refining materials are hard to come by. It might take ten years to gather them, and if you’re slow to Enter the Grade, your Martial Path potential will deplete... Without the Martial Arts Academy, and given your family situation, it’s difficult to find these materials. The ultimate outcome could very well be getting stuck in the Refining Viscera Realm, unable to progress."

Lin Chen’s expression grew somber, understanding the dean’s implication. It was a reminder that he presently doesn’t need to worry about cultivation resources because of his genius potential, which the Military Affairs Department and the Martial Arts Academy are willing to invest in.

But once he fails to meet the genius potential, the Military Affairs Department and the Martial Arts Academy won’t provide him with any further resources, and collecting Spirit Soldier materials will become indefinitely deferred given his family background.

Cruel, but also very real.

Even if Lord Kong, out of personal feelings, wants to offer some support, from the perspective of the Military Affairs Department, it is impossible to make exceptions multiple times for him.

Seeing Lin Chen deep in thought, Hua Qianwu wondered internally if he had painted too severe a picture.

He emphasized the severity to Lin Chen to prevent any false hopes. Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Viscera Cultivation Method demands the courage to push forward fearlessly; harboring false hopes would never allow one to persist through the end.

In fact, if Lin Chen manages to persist until the Sixth Transformation, even if he can’t endure the last three, Lord Kong would still back him up.

Still, this would mean Lin Chen, who could potentially be a super genius leaving his name in the True Martial Hall, would become just an ordinary genius within Liang.

"Since you’ve chosen this path, don’t overthink it; just move forward step by step."

Hua Qianwu interrupted Lin Chen’s thoughts: "Since you’ve chosen me as your Instructor, I will provide you with special training. You don’t have to follow the standard progression of other new disciples. Rest well for these three days; I will prepare the necessary materials for refining the Flood Dragon’s True Blood and tailor a separate training plan for you."

"Enjoy your time at the Martial Arts Academy for these three days, because it won’t be that easy afterward."

Hua Qianwu had already planned Lin Chen’s training schedule at the Martial Arts Academy, but now knowing that Lin Chen had also embarked on the Body Tempering path, adjustments were necessary.

The original plan was already cruel and rigorous, and the modified plan will be even more so!
