Currently, Ning Rongrong didn't have much say within the sect, merely occupying the role of a little princess.
But that didn't matter much, as the significance she represented as the designated successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was paramount.
However, Ning Rongrong herself had a rebellious personality, and suggesting directly that she attend the Tian Dou Imperial Academy might have the opposite effect.
One had to be mindful of the approach.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly took out a stack of manuscripts from his soul device and handed them to Su Cheng.
With a smile, he said, "Although you use self-created soul techniques, their power far surpasses others of the same level, which must pose a problem in terms of soul power consumption. This is a secret skill of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Mind Division Control Technique. If you can learn it, it will be highly effective in saving soul power."
Mind Division Control Technique? Su Cheng was momentarily stunned.
He had heard of this technique before. Although it was not created by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it seemed that only they still preserved this method of cultivation.
The Mind Division Control Technique involved simultaneously controlling different soul techniques of the soul master, divided into five realms: Three Aperture Heart Control, Four Aperture Steady Heart, Five Aperture Scattered Heart, Six Aperture Free Heart, and Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart. Each realm represented the ability to control the number of soul techniques and the frequency of simultaneous releases.
This control method was useful for any soul master, but it was particularly significant for soul masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.
For ordinary soul masters, since each soul technique consumed different amounts of soul power, the impact of not having mind division control was minimal. Therefore, the practice method of mind division control gradually fell out of favor.
However, it was different for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Each soul technique consumed the same amount of soul power at the same level, so only they continued to pass down this method.
Moreover, after generations of refinement and inheritance by the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, this technique probably received significant optimization.
Su Cheng felt some suspicion. Ning Fengzhi seemed overly enthusiastic.
Even if he wanted to win him over, shouldn't there be at least some testing first? He wasn't a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if he became Chen Xin's disciple today, wasn't Ning Fengzhi afraid he might switch allegiance in the future?
There's something fishy here.
He hesitated for a moment before politely declining, "Sect Master, this is too precious."
"It's alright." Ning Fengzhi waved his hand. "Since you are Chen Xin's disciple, you are considered a core disciple of the sect. Besides, this mind division control technique is not unique to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It's just useful for us, so it has been passed down."
After a moment of hesitation, Su Cheng accepted the manuscript.
This mind division control technique would indeed be helpful for him.
His Severing Pulse Continuation Qi and self-created soul techniques could somewhat reduce soul power consumption. Coupled with the Five Element Domain and the inherent characteristics of the Eternal Sword, the soul techniques he used had much lower consumption compared to other soul masters of the same level.
But considering he usually used techniques much more powerful than his current level, his advantage in soul power wasn't that significant.
Moreover...
After receiving the manuscript, Su Cheng silently browsed through it.
The others didn't pay much attention, and Ning Fengzhi even suggested, "You can exchange ideas with Rongrong in the future. She's also practicing in this area now."
Su Cheng nodded slightly, looking at Ning Rongrong. "I understand. I will consult Rongrong on these matters in the future. With Rongrong's talent, she probably has some insights by now."
Ning Rongrong nodded with some pride. "Don't worry, just ask me if you have any questions."
Actually, she hadn't seriously practiced this technique at all.
She hadn't even fully mastered the Three Aperture Heart Control yet.
But guiding someone like Su Cheng, a beginner, gave her a sense of satisfaction.
For a moment, her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at his daughter, smiled, but didn't expose her. Instead, he felt it was good to improve their relationship through this method.
"To excel in this mind division control technique, the key should be to enhance one's perception, right?"
After browsing through the manuscript for a while, Su Cheng suddenly spoke up.
"Yes." Ning Fengzhi looked surprised. "Your comprehension is indeed high."
He had already reached the highest level of the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart in mind division control, so his understanding was profound.
Many people, when first introduced to this technique, tended to focus on training their mental strength, forcibly cultivating the ability to use multiple techniques at once.
This method was also fine, but it was considered a detour.
Moreover, after achieving the Three Aperture Heart Control through this method, it would be equally difficult to advance to the Four Aperture Steady Heart level.
The best way was actually to perceive the changes in the environment, improve one's adaptability instinctively, and naturally comprehend the essence of it.
Although it required some luck to grasp this at the beginning, once achieved, the subsequent cultivation would become faster and faster.
"Sect Master, I have some insights now."
After a moment, Su Cheng suddenly spoke again.
With that, he extended his right hand and summoned his martial soul.
The third soul ring lit up, and he performed the soul skill: Shadow Splitting.
As the soul skill was executed, Su Cheng's Eternal Sword split into three, forming three sword shadows.
Then, much to the surprise of everyone present, Su Cheng controlled the three swords with soul power, performing basic sword moves like diagonal slashes, vertical cuts, and straight stabs.
At first, it seemed somewhat awkward, but as time passed, it became more natural.
Eventually, he even maneuvered them in the air, forming combinations of sword moves like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Actually, this type of soul skill wasn't particularly powerful.
Each sword shadow only possessed sixty percent of the original Eternal Sword martial soul's power.
The main effect of using it was to disturb the opponent's perception, but with the support of the domain, the ability of this soul skill was greatly enhanced.
Now, with the assistance of mind division control, he could unleash even more variations.
Ning Fengzhi: "?"
Ning Rongrong: "?"
"...Have you encountered this mind division control technique before?" Ning Fengzhi looked at the scene, his voice somewhat dry, his face showing some disbelief.
Damn it, how could someone still achieve such a thing?
This technique wasn't particularly difficult, but mastering it within half an hour of receiving it was completely unreasonable, right?
Actually, Su Cheng understood that this had nothing to do with talent.
The greatest difficulty of the mind division control technique lay in the initial sensory intuition.
Unfortunately, Su Cheng had already mastered the rudiments of swordsmanship and was particularly adept at short-range intuition, which was the characteristic of all strong offensive domain skills.
As a result, learning the mind division control technique was almost like a college student encountering elementary school exercises—extremely easy to grasp.
Afterward, if he wanted to advance to the Five Aperture level, it would still take some time, but mastering the basics was effortless.
