I Have A Disciple Simulator Chapter 4: Power-infusing Initiation

Chapter 4: Power-infusing Initiation

Translator: 549690339

Enveloped in layers of clouds and fog, Qingyun Peak brimmed with rich spiritual energy. Vibrant birds chirped amid blooming flowers, while immortal cranes occasionally glided through the skies, rainbows arching overhead alongside the crisp melody of flowing streams.

Mount Shu's spiritual energy far surpassed that of typical regions; labeling it a blessed paradise would be no overstatement.

As one of Mount Shu's prominent peaks, Qingyun Peak served as Lu Changsheng's personal dwelling.

"Welcome to Qingyun Peak. A protective formation seals the spiritual energy here, ensuring it doesn't escape Mount Shu. From this point forward, this mountain will be our home for cultivation and living. My seclusion spot lies at the summit cave, the mid-mountain area is set aside for disciples' practice, and the base houses Mount Shu's service staff."

"Right now, you're my sole disciple, so you'll occupy the mid-mountain alone. Soon enough, you'll gain junior brothers and sisters. As the senior brother, train hard to stay ahead of them."

Keen to test the Disciple Apprenticeship System's return feature, Lu Changsheng led Lin Qingzhi to his cave dwelling.

"Take a seat on this cushion."

Lu Changsheng indicated a cushion within the cave. As Lin Qingzhi settled in, Lu Changsheng rested his palm atop the young man's head.

"Master, what do you plan to do?"

"Your cultivation is far too weak; I'm transferring some of mine to boost you. Let your body relax completely."

Observing Lin Qingzhi's inferior Root Bone and mere first-layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, Lu Changsheng realized step-by-step progress would drag on endlessly.

Thus, he chose to expend his own cultivation directly to propel Lin Qingzhi's advancement.

"Master, please don't! That will deplete your own cultivation!"

Lin Qingzhi grew alarmed.

He knew cultivators could elevate realms via power-infusing initiation, yet this approach drained the giver immensely, often proving counterproductive and risking a drop in their own level.

Having just joined as a disciple, and now Lu Changsheng offered to sacrifice his cultivation for his progress—such benevolence from a master was extraordinary!

"No more words; obey your master's command without question!"

Lu Changsheng initiated the transfer, channeling spiritual energy from his palm into Lin Qingzhi's Heavenly Spirit, weaving through the Zodiac Meridians, circulating fully, and ultimately anchoring in the Dantian to forge it solidly and strengthen the foundation.

From his ninth-layer Nascent Soul Realm, even a thread of Lu Changsheng's spiritual energy overwhelmed Lin Qingzhi at his first-layer Foundation Establishment.

Lin Qingzhi gritted his teeth, cheeks burning crimson, as the influx from Lu Changsheng threatened to rupture him!

This marked Lu Changsheng's initial attempt at transferring cultivation, so he misjudged the precise quantity, infusing slightly more than needed.

Yet Lin Qingzhi proved remarkably resilient. When instructed to stay silent, he held back any outcry.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng's readiness to harm his own cultivation moved him deeply, leaving him speechless.

Luckily, Lin Qingzhi's Innate Spirit Vein enabled him to endure extra spiritual energy; a mere mortal would have burst apart by now.

"One day's worth of cultivation, two days', three days'..."

Moments passed slowly, with Lin Qingzhi's cultivation surging upward swiftly.

Thanks to the Innate Spirit Vein, his meridians swiftly adjusted to the incoming spiritual energy from Lu Changsheng.

Consequently, Lu Changsheng infused more spiritual energy, just a touch extra once more.

"Forty-eight days' cultivation, forty-nine days', fifty days'..."

"Ugh..."

Veins throbbed on Lin Qingzhi's brow, a groan of agony escaping. Lu Changsheng had overestimated his meridian endurance; continuation meant certain explosion!

"Halt!"

Sensing Lin Qingzhi's breaking point, Lu Changsheng ceased the power-infusing initiation promptly.

In total, Lu Changsheng had instilled fifty days of cultivation into Lin Qingzhi.

For a Foundation Establishment Realm practitioner like Lin Qingzhi, those fifty days represented an enormous boon.

[Ding, you've passed fifty days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple 'Lin Qingzhi'. Lin Qingzhi truly absorbed ten days of Heavenly Cultivation. His present realm stands at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Upon fully Refining the Spiritual Energy, he can ascend to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. Until all Spiritual Energy is Refined, further transmission risks meridian harm.]

[Ding, you've earned a hundredfold return for mentoring: one thousand days of Heavenly Cultivation.]

[Ding, today's power transmission limit has dropped by 1.]

Mentoring disciples brings actual rewards!

Excitement flooded Lu Changsheng's heart.

Power-infusing initiation's efficiency remained low. Lu Changsheng expended fifty days, yet Lin Qingzhi gained only ten—a net loss, explaining why few cultivators bothered with it.

But with the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, fifty days transmitted yielded a thousand in return, netting almost three years of saved cultivation!

A vast wave of pure Spiritual Energy abruptly welled up in Lu Changsheng's Dantian, expanding the Nascent Soul in his Sea of Consciousness and edging him nearer to Dao Palace activation.

Thump, thump, thump.

Lin Qingzhi bowed deeply to Lu Changsheng, overcome with emotion. "Disciple knows power-infusing initiation harms Master's cultivation. Your immense kindness and grace, Qingzhi will engrave in his heart forever! Please, Master, refrain from this in the future."

Refrain from this?

Lu Changsheng secretly yearned to repeat the power-infusing initiation daily for Lin Qingzhi, milking the system's benefits.

"Once you've returned and fully Refined the Spiritual Energy, seek me in the cave again, and I'll transmit more."

Lu Changsheng sensed a twinge of disappointment. Lin Qingzhi needed time to process the infused Spiritual Energy and firm his foundation; resuming too soon would mimic forcing growth on a seedling, disastrous results.

At this pace, Lin Qingzhi would swiftly attain the Qi Transformation Realm.

Per the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator's details, each disciple's major realm breakthrough grants collectible rewards, growing richer with progress.

Additionally, gifting treasures, techniques, or elixirs to disciples yields returns, provided they align with or below the disciple's current major realm.

What? Master plans to do power-infusing initiation regularly for me?

Lin Qingzhi's eyes bulged, mind reeling.

In his recollections, even Liang Kingdom's State Preceptor avoided sacrificing cultivation for a prince's gain, much less repeatedly. This bordered on self-destruction.

"No way, Disciple will cultivate independently and won't burden Master!"

Gratitude overwhelming him, Lin Qingzhi refused hastily.

This disciple was indeed a bit innocent.

Lu Changsheng inwardly rolled his eyes. Without transmissions to you, how could he game the system?

"Master has his reasons; don't concern yourself. Just concentrate on cultivating."

Lu Changsheng eagerly anticipated multiple sessions of power-infusing initiation.

"For Master's life-reviving grace, Disciple vows to brave any peril for you without a second thought!"

Lin Qingzhi felt profoundly touched.

In this realm, could any master surpass this one? Even blood ties paled in comparison, didn't they?

"This 'Taxuan Skills' is a high-grade Profound Rank cultivation technique, spanning six levels. It suits your current realm perfectly as the finest option. Accept this as Master's gift to you. Practice it diligently."

With a turn of his palm, Lu Changsheng produced a verdant scroll.

"A high-grade Profound Rank cultivation technique..."

Lin Qingzhi's hands shook as he took the scroll. In the mortal world, this alone could buy ten cities, yet Lu Changsheng bestowed it freely.

Master treated him far too kindly.
