Chapter 2165: Chapter 2162: Sword Control Technique (Part 2)

After listening to Ling Xuesong’s words, Lin Tian basically understood and said, "The power of Sword Control is limited by one’s own True Energy, but the energy around us is limitless and can unleash greater power."

"Not exactly limitless, uh, you’ll understand when you reach Innate Perfection, so let’s not talk about that now. Speaking of Sword Control, by using oneself to manipulate the surrounding energy to control the flying sword for attacks, one achieves the purpose of Sword Control, and it’s even more powerful than Tang Xuan Su’s way." Ling Xuesong hesitated, as if he had more to say, but didn’t delve further.

"It’s no use talking too much, let this young brother try it out," Zhuge Cai Zhe interrupted.

"Yes, you give it a try." Ling Xuesong gestured around, indicating.

Lin Tian slightly closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried to sense the energy around him. With his current Spiritual sense, he could hear the faint sound of the wind, insects chirping, and even the sound of falling leaves.

However, no matter how concentrated he was, he couldn’t sense the so-called energy, let alone control it.

With a helpless look, Lin Tian opened his eyes and spread his hands, saying, "I didn’t sense anything."

"Old Man Ling, it seems we’re making it difficult for him. He’s not at the right level and lacks True Qi to sense the surrounding energy," Old Man Zhuge also felt a bit helpless.

"He may not have True Qi, but he has fire energy. Although I don’t know why he has such a peculiar energy, it can be used just the same," Old Man Ling was unhurried, as if he had foreseen everything.

"Is this what Mr. Ling meant?" Lin Tian’s heart was stirred as he extended his palm, allowing a cluster of purple flames to slowly emerge.

As the purple flames appeared, the two old men’s relaxed expressions vanished, turning serious.

"It’s truly a peculiar fire energy. Seeing this, you seem more like a Demon Exterminator cultivator, but even the Zhang Family’s Demon-slaying Golden Flame is far inferior to your flame," Old Man Zhuge said with a frown.

"It’s also different from Xiao Manxuan’s anomalous energy, but similarly peculiar. I really can’t understand you young people; each of you is more mysterious than the last." Ling Xuesong shook his head, indicating his lack of understanding.

Lin Tian found it hard to explain, so he just asked directly, "Can this be used?"

"Of course, it can. You’re a Pharmacist, more sensitive to fire-type energy, and can control it more freely. Why bother using True Energy like others?" Ling Xuesong was very affirming, then pointed to the ground, saying, "Sit in lotus position, and use your purple flame to carefully feel it."

Following the advice, Lin Tian sat down in lotus position, as the old man did earlier, directly on the ground, closed his eyes, and the purple flame in his hand burned quietly.

Before long, Lin Tian felt a familiar energy descending from the sky, continuously entering his body. This energy was cool and refreshing.

It was Moonlight Energy, Lin Tian immediately identified it. The energy was increasing, but the so-called fire-type energy was nowhere to be seen. Lin Tian clenched his fist, extinguished the purple flame, and opened his eyes.

"How was it?" Old Man Ling asked with concern.

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "No, but there was a lot of Moonlight Energy."

"I see, maybe I was too hasty. It’s nighttime, a time when yin rises and yang diminishes, making it hard for you to sense at your level. Let’s do it tomorrow morning. The sun’s essence is fire-type, it should be easier to cultivate then," Old Man Ling thought for a moment and made a decision.

Lin Tian was not in a hurry and stood up, smiling, "You’re too considerate, Mr. Ling."

Ling Xuesong waved his hand, unconcerned, "I’m not worried, it’s just talking. It’s you who’s doing the hard work. Also, since you teach me the Refining Technique, I feel ashamed for such a small effort."

"Oh, by the way, it’s still early. How about we study the Refining Technique?" Mentioning refining, Old Man Ling got excited and couldn’t wait.

"Sure, no problem." Lin Tian readily agreed.

Zhuge Cai Zhe looked a bit awkward, hesitated for a moment, then said, slightly sheepishly, "Young brother, um, can I join you to study together?"

"Of course, you can." Lin Tian agreed without hesitation.

Zhuge Cai Zhe was delighted, then happily said, "I’m quite old, and wouldn’t want to take advantage of a young brother. I’m all alone and have nothing good, just some red fungi, nameless roots, and some herbs. If the young brother doesn’t mind, feel free to use them."

Red fungi, nameless roots! Lin Tian was thrilled at heart, as he was planning to ask for them, and now they were offered voluntarily.

Lin Tian didn’t hide his excitement and said honestly, "To be honest, I was just planning to use red fungi and nameless roots to refine a new Elixir."

The two old men’s eyes lit up, and Old Man Ling urged, "Perfect, let’s demonstrate the Refining Technique right now..."

Ling Xuesong pulled Lin Tian towards the inner room, acting like an excited child, and the seemingly steady Zhuge Cai Zhe followed gleefully behind.

Lin Tian sighed helplessly and thought to himself, accompanying these two old men to feel young again. Then he realized, I am the young one here.

Next to the kitchen, upon entering, Lin Tian smelled a medicinal aroma, a faint herbal fragrance that was refreshing.

In the room, there were many wooden racks, with the outer ones holding bamboo sieves with various herbs, some dried or waiting to be dried, while the inner ones had boxes and jars, presumably containing dried medicinal herbs.

Lin Tian walked around and found numerous large ginseng plants, which were very intact with small roots, clearly picked by a knowledgeable person, a master in herbal gathering.

Many herbs are used whole in medicine; if they’re incomplete, their efficacy would be incomplete too.

"Eight Hundred Miles Langya Mountain, not only is the scenery beautiful, but it also nurtures many rare herbs. These ginsengs, red fungi, nameless roots, all come from Langya. So, getting red fungi and nameless roots for refining medicine is no problem at all."

Seeing Lin Tian observing the herbs, Ling Xuesong proudly introduced.

"As expected from an Ancient Martial family, each is more blessed than the last. Those so-called high societies, the estates of the richest, and ancient castles are far inferior compared to Langya." Lin Tian mused lightly.

The Ou family has an island estate, the Yun Family has a forest manor, and some wealthy tycoons have villas that are unmatched in the secular world, but not worth mentioning compared to these Ancient Martial families.

"Young brother, if these aren’t suitable, I can take you to pick fresh ones. This season, with the birth of yang and the budding of all things, is the perfect time to harvest red fungi and nameless roots," Zhuge Cai Zhe suggested.

"I would appreciate it, Senior Zhuge." Lin Tian was unreserved; since there were fresh herbs, he certainly wanted to see them.

Lin Tian walked around the room but didn’t find the cauldron necessary for refining medicines. Instead, he spotted a small, simple Bronze Tripod, presumably for Zhuge Cai Zhe or Old Man Ling to fiddle with herbs occasionally.
