My Treasured Disciples! Chapter 7 Chapter 7: Elemental Star Sword Art, Incomplete?

As Skyler and Gabriel walked up the path towards the sword art pavilion, the atmosphere between the two was quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were their steps, the wind brushing the tree canopies, and sometimes the chirping of crickets. It was a very peaceful walk for Gabriel.

Soon, Skyler, without turning, asked in a calm voice, "Your disciple… What's her name?" Surprised that she was asking about his disciple, he smiled as he recalled the face of his growing cold beauty in his mountain. "Her name is Serana Stark. She's an easy person to teach. Despite her talent, she's very hardworking, knows how to cook, and is very diligent in cultivating," he introduced his disciple. However, he didn't tell her that his disciple is an actual monster with unlimited talent and a divine body holder. If she were to learn about it, Gabriel was afraid that this sister Skyler of his would take her away from him! He couldn't lose his treasure! So, while he's weak, he's going to keep Sera's talents secret. He'll brag later when he has the strength to do so. Skyler didn't ask further as they walked closer to the pavilion. When they arrived, the two guarding disciples greeted their master and took a little peek at Gabriel before forgetting about him when they noticed it was the notorious elder of the sect. "You can come out anytime you want. I'll leave now," Skyler said. Gabriel smiled and gave her a respectful salute. "Thank you, sister Skyler, for accompanying a little elder like me," he said, a little embarrassed. "Mn. By the way, treat your disciple better. If you have difficulties teaching her, you can come to me to ask for teaching materials. I'll help you out. After all, the future peak master of the 7th peak is your disciple. It's my duty as an elder of the sect to take care of the well-being of disciples, whether that disciple is mine or not." Skyler calmly looked at Gabriel with one last look before leaving. Hearing her last words surprised Gabriel. "I will, thank you." 'She's amazing,' Gabriel couldn't help but admire his sister Skyler. She's a good teacher. … Gabriel was alone in the pavilion as he walked past shelves upon shelves, looking for something that interested him. On the first floor, there wasn't much of interest. The sword arts on this floor were nothing noteworthy, so he went upstairs. This time, before Gabriel could enter the floor, there was a gate blocking the path. On the side, there was a token slot. Gabriel took out his elder token and pressed it. *Clang* The gate opened when it recognized his token as legitimate. Gabriel was surprised to see another set of stairs for the 3rd floor, meaning there were even higher techniques there. However, when he tried to open the gate with his token, it was denied. Thus, the 3rd floor must be for the peak master of this mountain. Since Skyler is the only person who has access to it, Gabriel gave up and explored the 2nd floor. To his disappointment, there wasn't much, though there were many Earth-grade techniques. When he walked down the last row of shelves, a sign reading 'Incomplete' caught his eye. This piqued his interest, and he strolled around these shelves, reading the names of the techniques. Then, his eyes shone when he read a thin book titled 'Elemental Star Sword Art'. Picking up the book, he read its contents and smiled. "This is perfect for Serana! It's a sword technique that can be used with ice techniques. Although it's incomplete, it's doable." Nodding his head, Gabriel sent the book into his space ring. As it entered, a system notification popped up, grabbing his attention. [System discovered incomplete art. System can complete it according to user's taste. Cost: 100 GMP + 20 MP] Reading this, Gabriel was shocked and excitedly jumped. "No way! The system can also do this?" He didn't know his system had this feature. Doesn't that mean in the future, if he discovers some treasures that are incomplete, he can complete them? Even with missing parts? Awesome! … It was already sunset when Gabriel finished looking through all the books on the second floor. Apart from the incomplete art he had stored, nothing else interested him. He found the other techniques unsuitable for his disciple or even for himself. What he was looking for was an offensive art that was flexible and could be expanded later on. The sword techniques here were strict and very rigid, with no room for adjustability. Gabriel was able to return to his mountain without trouble as disciples treated him like air, despite his elder outfit. It was a good thing that this sect didn't have arrogant young masters. It might be because the sect is low tier, and most people here are commoners without much special status. At best, the high-ranking disciples here outside the sect must be children of family guards and some merchants. Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already dark, with stars and the moon filling the black skies. Serana was sitting by the bonfire, trying to warm herself. When she got too close, she found it even more uncomfortable staying in the warm area, which surprised her. The cold didn't bother her anymore. She stared into empty space, her mind wandering, thinking of her master and recalling his face. She hugged her knees together. "Master, where are you?" she muttered. After practicing and trying to master her tasks, she thought it would be easy, as her master had told her. But she was surprised that it was actually hard to master, even the rank 1 requirements. The reason Gabriel had told her it would be easy was that he failed to consider that his disciple had zero foundation. Thus, everything was difficult for her. When Serana was about to ask for guidance from her master, she was stunned to see that the main hall was empty. She wandered around the mountain looking for him before realizing that her master had left her alone. Thus, the familiar feeling of loneliness crept into her heart, making her uncomfortable. She decided to wait for her master in the gathering area where the bonfire was. Hours passed, and the sky had turned dark. Serana couldn't help but worry as she knew her master was weak. She was anxious, wondering if something had happened to him along the way. ... As crickets filled the quiet place, a clacking sound was heard as the gate opened. Serana, hearing this, quickly stood up and ran towards the gate. Seeing the familiar figure, Serana's overwhelming emotions broke through her cold exterior. She ran towards him and gave him a tight hug, afraid of losing him. She had finally found warmth in this cold world and was too afraid to lose it, afraid to be lonely again. Shocked by her sudden ambush, Gabriel looked at the cute koala clinging to him as she tightly hugged him. "Hahaha, I'm back. Looks like I made you worry." Gabriel laughed and patted her back, trying to calm her. "Master, please tell me when you're leaving." For the first time, Serana complained. "Yes, yes. I'm sorry. It won't happen again. It must have been too lonely for you." Gabriel smiled and calmed her down as the two walked back. "Mn… Too lonely," Serana muttered silently, her face red with embarrassment as she realized she had gone too far in clinging to him. Recalling what she had done made her want to die of embarrassment. "Don't worry. Your master has found a sword technique for you. I will study it first before teaching it to you, maybe in a week," Gabriel said, looking up and calculating how many points he could earn in a week. "So, by then, try to work hard on completing your assignment, okay?" "Okay, master…" ...One week later. During this week, Gabriel stayed in the mountains, teaching his disciple. During that time, he was able to farm 140 MP just by teaching Serana, and she completed her first assignment, earning a bonus of 10 MP. The two spent their time closely, and Serana's strength improved day by day with Gabriel's guidance. Every three days, the sect provided cultivation pills for core disciples and elders—three for disciples and eight for elders. The quality was high for a common-tier pill, so for the first time, Gabriel finally tasted what cultivation pills were like. These were the pills that his master had taken from him. Gabriel, of course, gave five pills to his disciple instead of three, while taking the remaining pills for himself. To be precise, he gathered the pill energy and sent it to Gabrielle to improve her strength. Speaking of Gabrielle, she had finally surpassed Gabriel. She had broken through to the late stages of the 2nd rank. Because she already had an elemental affinity, which was ice, it was easy for her. It was only a matter of time before she broke through to the 3rd rank. As for Serana, she completed the requirements for the 1st and 2nd ranks, so her strength had somewhat stabilized. It would be fully stabilized once she completed the 3rd and 4th rank requirements. After that, she could complete her 5th rank requirements. Once she did that, she could try breaking through to the 6th rank. With her unlimited talent, she would be able to pass through that. However, before she could achieve that, she still had a lot to learn and experience. She lacked both skills and experience. That's why Gabriel decided that after Serana learned some sword skills, he would send her to complete some missions. .… Early in the morning, the first thing Gabriel did was open his system and look at his stats. [User: Gabriel Smith][Age: 18][Disciples: 1. Serana Stark][Rank: Vitality Infusion Mid stage]MP: 170 GMP: 10[Clones Stats:][Gabrielle: Yin] [ Absolute zero ice emperor technique] [Vitality Infusion (2nd rank)] "Hmmm, it should be enough to pull for pills again. This time for me," Gabriel silently thought, opening his rolling menu. Since he lacked GMP points for the luck enhancer, he decided to proceed. He clicked to roll for pills. [Rolling for Pills! … … … Ping!][3 Heaven Grade pills!][3-part Vitality Pills!][Information: These 3-part pills are taken separately. The first pill improves the body, bones, and organs; the second pill enhances the meridians and the dantian; and the last pill boosts the body, meridians, and the dantian once completed, leading to significant changes!] "Hmm, not bad. Hopefully, this heals my damaged meridians and dantian, restoring my talent back to normal again," Gabriel hoped, assessing his remaining points. [MP: 120 pts GMP: 10 pts] "Should I pull for pills again?" he pondered for a moment before deciding to go for it once more. [Rolling for Pills! … … … Ping!][1 Immortal-grade pill!][Tribulation Lightning Essence Pill!][Information: Enables cultivators to harness the heavenly power of tribulation lightning. This pill grants the consumer the ability to withstand, absorb, and channel the destructive energy of tribulation lightning, transforming it into a source of immense strength and power!] "…" Gabriel stood there, stunned, as he processed the information. He didn't know how to react to the sheer audacity of it. "A pill that allows harnessing heavenly tribulation power? And it's only immortal-grade, not even supreme immortal-grade! What the heck!" "You've got to be kidding me, is this real?" Gabriel laughed incredulously, then a realization dawned on him. His excitement surged. "Wait, what if my elemental affinity turns out to be heavenly tribulation? Wouldn't that make me invincible in the mortal realm!?" "Hehe, okay, my plan now is to take this pill, make it my elemental affinity, roll for cultivation techniques, and maybe find techniques to complement it!" With his plan set, Gabriel eagerly pressed to roll for pills again, knowing he had 70 MP points left. [Rolling for Pills! … … … Ping!][Earth-grade pills!][2 jars of Emergency Healing Pills][Information: Each jar contains 100 pills. These pills heal 50% of damage to the cultivator during combat and provide an extra 25% qi for immediate use.] Gabriel couldn't contain his excitement upon reading this. "A literal senzu bean, I love this!" he exclaimed, filled with enthusiasm knowing this would enhance his survivability dramatically. His laughter echoed through the main hall, catching Serana's attention outside. Curious about what had gotten her master so elated, she hesitated to intrude but couldn't help her curiosity. Moments later, Gabriel emerged from his room and greeted Serana warmly when he saw her waiting. "Good morning, Serana." "Good morning, Master." She greeted him back, her curiosity still lingering. "Master, breakfast is ready," she informed him, hiding her curiosity behind a faint smile. Gabriel nodded, and the two walked out to the campfire where they ate breakfast, chatting casually about cultivation. Serana had adapted well during her first week in the sect and had even devised a training schedule to maximize her progress. Since most lessons were conducted in the afternoon, Serana developed a routine. She woke up before sunrise to cultivate until morning, hunted for breakfast ingredients near the mountain, and cooked. After eating, she had free time until afternoon, which she spent familiarizing herself with cultivation in the first peak library. In the afternoon, Serana waited for Gabriel in the hall for her lessons, which varied in length depending on the topic he taught. At night, she cultivated again for a few hours, followed by five hours of sleep, and then repeated the routine. One morning, after finishing breakfast, Serana began preparing to leave the peak for the library. "Master, I'm off," she said, about to say goodbye. Gabriel stopped her with a reminder, "Come back early today. I'll be teaching you sword arts." Surprised and pleased, Serana nodded eagerly. "Okay, Master. Bye for now, see you later." ... [MP: 20 pts GMP: 10 pts] Gabriel checked his points, noticing that his GMP had dropped to 10. This reduction was due to him earning enough points from the sword he had previously given to Serana. Unbeknownst to her, it was a training sword that had slain immortals at heaven-tier armament, earning him 80 GMP points alone. Coupled with his remaining 30 GMP points, he could now afford to spend on completing and master the incomplete sword art he had obtained from the 4th peak's sword art pavilion. With only 20 MP points left, Gabriel decided to invest them in: [Completing: Elemental Star Sword Art] [User, to complete the art, what element do you want to use?] Since he hadn't acquired tribulation lightning as his elemental affinity yet, Gabriel chose "Ice" for the sword art, aligning with both Serana and Gabrielle's strength!
