"Since that's the case, may I ask Elder Mu, generally... how many attributes are appropriate?" Han Yi inquired carefully.
“Generally speaking… being able to accommodate two attributes is already quite good. Three or four attributes or more would be considered an extremely excellent high-grade Divine Forging Technique,” Lin Mu explained.
"The balance and control involved here is extremely complicated. Ordinary people have two complementary attributes in their mindset, one primary and one secondary, which is enough to cope with most external environments."
"Then our school's inherited technique, the 'Four Seasons Demon Blade'..." Han Yi's heart stirred. "Didn't you say that the 'Four Seasons Demon Blade' emphasizes thunder, fire, metal, and water, representing the changing seasons, the natural cycle, and the four fundamental forces of heaven and earth, the origin of all life...? Then the imagery of our school's inheritance, could it be..." "Ahem!!"
Lin Mu coughed twice and quickly interrupted.
"Little Han, multi-attribute images are only better at adapting to the outside world; in any other aspect, they are not as good as single-attribute images."
The constraints between attributes lead to a dispersion of energy and a weakening of power... even the growth rate is much slower than that of a single-attribute image... most mainstream spirit-forging techniques are actually based on single-attribute images..."
He had a patient and persuasive look on his face, with a gentle expression, befitting a teacher.
If it weren't for Lin Mu's unfocused gaze, weak voice, and occasional dry coughs, Han Yi would almost have believed what he said.
It's probably not that multi-attribute imagery is inadequate, but rather that Lin Mu only possesses a single-attribute imagery that perfectly matches the Spring Thunder Blade...
In the short time Han Yi exchanged words with Chun Hui, he had already figured out the true nature of the Myriad Manifestations School. From its past glory to its current decline, more than 90% of the Myriad Manifestations School's soul techniques and secret methods had been lost in the process.
Even the Four Seasons Demon Blade, the fundamental inheritance of the Myriad Manifestations School, along with its other three chapters—Summer Flame, Autumn Serenity, and Winter Silence—were lost with the passing of the elder.
In the current Wanxiang School, only the Spring Thunder technique inherited by Lin Mu has been preserved to some extent.
These things shouldn't have been known to Han Yi, or rather, shouldn't have been known to a newcomer who had just joined the company.
But Chunhui was too honest; after a few casual questions, he spilled all the secrets of the Wanxiang School like a sieve.
"Understood." Han Yi nodded. "Then the specific steps..."
Fortunately, he didn't care about these things.
As long as a method to break through to a higher level can be found, whether it's incomplete or not...
As long as the approach is right, it's fine.
Seeing that Han Yi did not press the issue further, he continued to ask more questions about "The Four Seasons Magic Blade".
Visible to the naked eye.
Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"First, thoroughly understand the essence of the Spring Thunder Blade, comprehend the meaning of thunder, and only after comprehending the meaning of thunder and understanding the principles can you proceed to the next step." He explained step by step, "In other words, in order to successfully condense the image of thunder, you must completely transform your soul and let it be fully infected by the meaning of thunder in order to have a higher success rate."
"Infiltrated by the intent of thunder?" Han Yi asked in confusion. "The divine soul resides in the Divine Palace, passively protected by the Niwan Divine Palace. How could it possibly break through the defenses?"
The divine palace oversees all the gods and has the function of nurturing divine souls and illuminating divine will.
If we use an egg as an analogy, the soul is like the yolk, while the divine palace is the outer shell that provides protection. Before achieving the state of "transcending the physical body," the soul can hardly leave the realm of the divine palace, but external energy also has little effect on the fragile soul.
"This step still requires the assistance of the Lightning Cave. Sufficient lightning tempering will allow the soul to be attached to lightning, and the lightning intent to penetrate. Over time, this will allow the soul to undergo a qualitative change..." Lin Mu slowly explained.
"I see... In other words, as long as the soul meets the conditions, one can condense an image..." Han Yi pondered, then continued to ask, "So, what are the requirements for an image that fits the Spring Thunder Blade?"
"When spring thunder roars, all things submit. The imagery of thunder is primarily domineering and fierce; anything that fits this description is considered compatible. Of course, whether you seek it internally or externally, whether you create your own or adapt it from nature, the school will provide corresponding assistance."
Lin Mu explained.
"And before that... do you remember the sword techniques we practiced at the beginning of morning class? Come on, demonstrate them for me. Don't underestimate these sword techniques. Practice them a lot, understand their essence, and once you master them, you can strengthen your subtle muscles and internal organs, making your body more adaptable to lightning stimulation..."

"Damn it!! That old bastard... he really deserves to die!!!"
On the side of the main hall, Lu Chenxin, with a gloomy expression, paced back and forth in a shadowy corner, clearly in a bad mood and extremely agitated.
"Another two and a half hours... more than two and a half hours... when you were teaching me... I never saw you this attentive..."
Lu Chenxin's face grew increasingly grim, so dark it seemed as if it were about to drip water.
He thought Lin Mu leaving Han Yi behind meant he would only say a few words or give him some instructions. He hadn't expected this.
One incense stick, two incense sticks... one hour, two hours...
They waited for more than two hours, but no one came out.
"It seems they've been guarding against me all this time... old man... you shouldn't have died... who should have died?" Lu Chenxin originally wanted to wait for Han Yi to come out, say a few words, and find out more about him.
If there are no problems, treat him as an ordinary junior brother.
Now that I look at it, it's no longer needed.
A conversation that lasted more than two hours could not have been as simple as just exchanging a few words.
It's very likely that old geezer Lin Mu has shifted his focus and now regards Han Yi as a key person to be cultivated, which is why he's giving him special instruction and teaching him secret techniques, thus delaying things for so long.
"This Han Yi... seems to be more than I thought... It's possible that he's also here for that thing..." Lu Chen's eyes gleamed as he analyzed Han Yi's purpose.
One day, a new person inexplicably arrived at a remote, rural elementary school.
On his very first day joining the school, this newcomer caught the eye of the Grand Elder and was chosen as a candidate for the school's leader...
No matter how you look at it...
Let's talk about the coincidences here.
Anyone would sense that something fishy was going on.
"It's said that Old Man Lin was quite the ladies' man in his youth, and had several lovers outside... Could it be that this Han Yi..."
As Lu Chen pondered, a slightly malicious speculation quickly emerged.
It's still a highly probable speculation.
It's possible that Han Yi is Lin Mu's illegitimate son, who just took his mother's surname. "If we follow this relationship and trace back further, all the clues can be connected..." Lu Chenxin suddenly understood, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"If that's the case, then the previous ideas... won't be very applicable." He muttered to himself, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

Rumble...
The closed palace doors slowly opened.
Lin Mu watched Han Yi's departing figure, his emotions complex and his feelings indescribable.
No wonder Rongrong has high hopes for him as the successor of the school of thought.
It's easy to understand and quick to learn.
The Spring Thunder Blade technique he practiced in his morning class was perfectly executed by his opponent after only one viewing. The opponent even improved upon it, correcting a few minor flaws and making the overall performance more coherent and powerful.
Such natural talent…
Lin Mu felt a surge of emotion.
His biggest fear was that the school of thought would decline, eventually disappear, and its lineage would be completely severed.
Although the Four Seasons Demon Blade is now incomplete, the secret technique that once allowed the condensation of the four elements has been reduced to only the Spring Thunder Blade. Compared to the inheritances of other schools, it is now so outdated that it is simply not presentable.
But this is the root of the school of thought, and it must not be lost because of it.
That's why Lin Mu went to great lengths to recruit people to join the school, hoping to find a suitable successor to pass on the school's unique legacy.
Several times, the disciples came and went, left and came again.
Finally, only Lu Chenxin could be considered somewhat acceptable. But now…
When a truly outstanding successor, capable of taking over the school and even leading its development, stood before him, Lin Mu still felt a strange sense of unreality.
This truly proves an old saying.
I searched high and low, but found nothing.
"Let's observe and see..." Lin Mu slowly closed his eyes and sighed.
It's important to understand that the sect leader requires more than just exceptional talent...
Mindset...
Responsibility, loyalty, conduct, and other external personal qualities are also extremely important.

"Spring thunder, the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth interact and surge, its sound booming, vibrating with life, and all things reviving..."
Han Yi strode out of the main hall and headed towards his residence, the ice house, his mind racing with thoughts, the essential techniques of the Spring Thunder Blade appearing in his mind.
He slowly opened his palm, crackling sounds emanating from between his fingers, as if tiny bolts of lightning were flashing within them, a moment of pure magic.
"This 'Four Seasons Demon Blade'... is truly extraordinary. The Spring Thunder Blade... is only one chapter in it..." Han Yi's eyes showed surprise, and he admired it in his heart.
"It can draw upon the power of lightning..."
Han Yi concentrated his mind, and a large amount of vital energy around him rushed into his body, where it was then quickly digested, absorbed, and transformed.
Crackling sounds...
Faintly, a long sword crackling with lightning appeared in his palm.
Bang!
However, before the Thunder Blade was fully formed, it suddenly trembled violently, as if the input power was too low. The translucent blade exploded like lightning, and the entire longsword turned into countless points of light, which suddenly spread outwards.
The air vibrated instantly, and the airflow surged like a tide, turning into waves of scattered energy that spread around, causing continuous turbulence.
