215: Chapter 214 Sharing Experiences

Qingyun Tower.

Fourth-floor private room.

Qin Changsheng controlled Hu Nan to arrive at the fourth floor of Qingyun Tower.

Qin Changsheng had Hu Nan come to Qingyun Tower to gather Intelligence.

To listen for any major events that had occurred recently.

And whether there was any news regarding Secret Realms.

Even more importantly, to see if there were any special treasures at the trade assembly.

At this moment, many Cultivators had already gathered inside the private room.

These people were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The moment Hu Nan appeared, the clamor on the fourth floor instantly quieted down by several degrees. The gazes of all the Cultivators focused on him in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity, awe, and an irrepressible sense of admiration.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hui stood up and cupped his hands in greeting toward Hu Nan: "Congratulations, Brother Hu, on successfully clearing the ninth floor of the Trial Tower a year ago!"

With the first person taking the lead, other Cultivators also swarmed forward, offering their congratulations in a cacophony of voices, one after another, creating an extraordinarily lively scene.

"Congratulations, Brother Hu!!"

"Brother Hu, you are the first person to pass the Trial Tower!"

"Brother Hu, you are already the number one Prodigy of our Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"Indeed, even Shen Bing cannot compare to Brother Hu!"

"What do you mean number one Prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect? I say he is the number one Prodigy of the Southern Region!"

"The number one Prodigy of the Southern Region! Well said! Brother Hu truly deserves the reputation!"

Everyone chimed in, their words filled with esteem and awe for Hu Nan.

Some offered precious Spiritual Tea, while others took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic; after all, Hu Nan was now a highly sought-after Prodigy. If they could establish a connection with him, they might receive considerable assistance on their path of cultivation in the future.

Hu Nan maintained a steady expression. Facing everyone's congratulations and praise, he merely cupped his hands and said, "Everyone is too kind. It was merely a stroke of luck that I passed; I do not deserve such praise."

When he heard everyone surrounding Hu Nan and praising him as the number one Prodigy, Lin Hao's expression became very unsightly.

He had always been a standout among the younger generation of the Heavenly Sword Sect, with outstanding talent, powerful cultivation, and a very significant background.

But ever since he encountered Hu Nan, his spotlight had been stolen.

What made it even harder for him to accept was that he didn't even have the qualification to refute it.

Lin Hao knew clearly in his heart that he was by no means Hu Nan's match.

A year ago, he had taken the initiative to challenge Hu Nan.

But he never expected to be defeated by Hu Nan in just a single Move.

He forcibly suppressed the unwillingness and jealousy in his heart and slowly lowered his head, picking up the Spiritual Tea on the table. However, he had no desire to drink it. The warmth of the tea could not dispel the coldness in his heart at all.

At the same time, a doubt that had troubled him for an entire year resurfaced in his mind.

That was, ever since his battle with Hu Nan, he had contracted a cold.

A Cultivator's Physique far surpasses that of ordinary people; a common cold simply cannot affect them. Even if they feel a slight discomfort, they can quickly resolve it using their own spiritual power. However, that cold of his had been exceptionally stubborn, lasting for a full two months.

During those two months, his spiritual power was in disorder, his cultivation stagnated, and there were even signs of regression. He had to use all sorts of Medicinal Pills before he barely recovered, but his Foundation had suffered significant damage. His current strength was even a few degrees weaker than it was a year ago.

Fifteen minutes later, seeing that many Cultivators had already arrived, Jiang Lijuan stood up and said, "Fellow Daoists, let us follow the usual practice and first discuss our insights and recent major events!"

As her voice fell, the Cultivators on the fourth floor all agreed.

Several Cultivators with outstanding cultivation were the first to stand up and share their cultivation insights.

Some spoke freely about Body Refining methods, recounting their experiences of breaking through Bottlenecks;

Some shared techniques for using Spells, breaking down the difficulties of practicing high-level techniques; others spoke of their experiences exploring Secret Realms and sharing how they obtained Opportunities.

Every person's sharing had value. Everyone listened very seriously, nodding in agreement from time to time, occasionally raising questions and discussing with one another.

As the first few Cultivators finished sharing, the atmosphere of the scene reached a minor climax.

Everyone turned their gazes toward Hu Nan, who was surrounded in the center, their eyes full of expectation and esteem.

After all, Hu Nan was a Prodigy who had cleared the ninth floor of the Trial Tower. With such formidable strength, he must have some unknown cultivation secrets.

Jiang Hui cupped his hands to Hu Nan: "Senior Brother Hu, your strength is the highest; you must have extremely unique cultivation insights!"

"Why don't you share some of your cultivation realizations with us, so that we may also benefit greatly!"

Jiang Hui's words voiced the thoughts of everyone, and they all chimed in!

Asking Hu Nan to share his cultivation experience.

Hu Nan's expression was steady as he slowly stood up and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.

Once the scene fell silent, he finally spoke slowly, his tone calm and clear: "Fellow disciples are being too polite. Everyone has their own realizations on the path of cultivation; I wouldn't call it teaching, but I will share some of my insights on the Sword Flight Technique, hoping to provide some help to all of you Fellow Daoists."

The insights on the Sword Flight Technique he mentioned were not something he had slowly figured out himself, but were instilled in him by Qin Changsheng through the System. They not only contained the most exquisite Sword Flight Techniques but also countless experiences accumulated from actual combat, far surpassing the ordinary sword flight methods of the cultivation world.

Hu Nan explained every detail meticulously and in an easy-to-understand manner, from the rhythm of spiritual power circulation and the intensity of sword body control to techniques for aerial evasion and rapid acceleration, and finally to the mental control while flying.

While explaining, he manifested his power. A wisp of spiritual power transformed into an invisible Flying Sword phantom, demonstrating the sword flight Moves in the air. His movements were smooth and natural, elegant and ethereal, vividly displaying the sword flight experience instilled by the System.

Everyone watched without blinking, focusing their thoughts and committing every detail shared by Hu Nan to memory. Some even subconsciously circulated their spiritual power, imitating the techniques Hu Nan explained, their faces showing expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"So that's how it is! When I was flying before, I could never control the rhythm of spiritual power circulation properly. No wonder my Speed could never increase!"

"Yes, yes, the point about mental control is something I had always ignored before. Hearing Senior Brother Hu's words, I feel instantly enlightened!"

As Hu Nan's explanation went deeper, a glimmer of inspiration flashed in the eyes of several Cultivators. The spiritual power around them surged slightly; clearly, they had achieved a Breakthrough in the process of comprehending the Sword Flight Techniques, and their Sword Flight Technique had significantly improved.

They stopped their imitation and cupped their hands to Hu Nan, their voices full of gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Brother Hu! Your insights are truly too exquisite. I feel that my Sword Flight Technique has actually made a Breakthrough!"

"Great kindness cannot be expressed in words. If there is an Opportunity in the future, I will certainly repay Fellow Daoist Hu Nan for his kind teaching!"

More and more Cultivators benefited from it and expressed their gratitude to Hu Nan, their words filled with esteem and admiration.

What was originally just an ordinary cultivation Exchange Conference had become highly beneficial for everyone because of Hu Nan's sharing.

Hu Nan slightly cupped his hands: "We are all fellow disciples, there is no need for such formality. Exchanging with one another and progressing together was the original intention of this Exchange Conference. Being able to help you all is also a fortunate thing."

At this moment, even Lin Hao couldn't help but listen to a few sentences of the sword flight insights Hu Nan shared, and he was secretly alarmed.

The techniques Hu Nan explained were incomparably exquisite, far surpassing the sword flight methods he had mastered. Even though his heart was full of unwillingness and jealousy toward Hu Nan, he had to admit that Hu Nan was much higher than him in the Sword Flight Technique.

As the sounds of gratitude from the crowd gradually subsided, someone took the lead to speak, and the topic slowly shifted from cultivation insights to the major events that had recently occurred in the Southern Region Cultivation World.

Everyone believed that the biggest event in the cultivation world over the past year was Hu Nan clearing the ninth floor of the Trial Tower last year.

Just then, Lin Hao spoke up to refute: "What everyone says is incorrect. The biggest event in the Southern Region this year is not Junior Brother Hu reaching the top of the Trial Tower, but the Exchange Conference between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Flowing Fire Sect."

As his voice fell, the clamor on the fourth floor instantly quieted down. Everyone turned to look at Lin Hao, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes, before they suddenly realized and nodded one after another.

"Senior Brother Lin is right!"

"This year is the decennial Exchange Conference between the Flowing Fire Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"Last time, our Heavenly Sword Sect was no match for the Flowing Fire Sect!"

"The Flowing Fire Sect's Shen Bing is truly too powerful!"

"However, our Heavenly Sword Sect has Senior Brother Hu!"

"I believe Senior Brother Hu will definitely be able to defeat Shen Bing!"

Qin Changsheng, far away in his small courtyard, soon learned about the Exchange Conference between the Flowing Fire Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This meet was a rule established thousands of years ago by the Flowing Fire Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Every ten years, the Flowing Fire Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect would send out Foundation Establishment Cultivators to hone their skills and exchange insights.

Firstly, it was to test the strength of the younger generation of each Sect, and secondly, it was to promote harmonious coexistence between the two great Sects.

However, for the past fifty years, the Flowing Fire Sect had always won this Exchange Conference.

Originally, Qin Changsheng had no interest in this Exchange Conference.

But a sentence from Lin Hao made Qin Changsheng change his mind.

"Everyone, do you know that there is a special reward for this Exchange Conference!" Lin Hao suddenly spoke.

"What special reward?"

"Senior Brother Lin, hurry up and tell us?"

Everyone looked at Lin Hao curiously.

Lin Hao smiled before saying, "As long as someone can take the top spot in the Exchange Conference, Sect Leader Xuanyangzi will grant them special permission to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect Treasury and pick any one treasure!"
