From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

I arrived at the Hall of Good Deeds early in the morning, received the newbie benefits and went back to practice.

It feels like being a otaku in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Excuse me, I am Senior Brother Wen. I am here to collect the introductory training materials."

He handed over his identity token and looked at this fellow student dressed as a Confucian scholar and the book in his hand. On the way here, he had asked other people about the senior brother in charge of the Hall of Good Deeds, named Wen Zimo, who was at the eighth level of Qi training.

"This Senior Brother Wen is really diligent. He is reading the Spring and Autumn Annals early in the morning."

Of course I didn't dare say that out loud.

Seeing someone coming, the scholar put the book on the table with an indifferent look, took the identity token handed to him and looked through it.

"Entry resources? Junior Brother Fang has already entered the first level of Qi Refining. According to the sect's rules, five spirit stones, a bottle of Qi Refining Pill, a storage bag, a low-grade flying sword, and a robe. That's all right, right?"

Wen Zimo placed the things on the table one by one.

"The storage bag only needs a small amount of spiritual power to activate it, and then use the spiritual sense to lock the items and collect them. It cannot be used to store living things."

"Thank you, Brother Wen, for your guidance."

"Just now I saw you paying attention to my book. Do you want to read it? It's a famous best-selling storybook in the cultivation world, The Secrets That the Righteous Zi Yan Zhenjun and the Demon Sect Saint Girl Have to Tell (illustrated version). Are you interested? It only costs one spirit stone."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I am still a child. It is not appropriate for me to do this."

This senior brother is really not serious. He should leave immediately and go back to continue his happy daily practice.

……

In the world of immortal cultivation, a year passes in the blink of an eye.

Fang Xiao stopped practicing and felt his current level of cultivation. He was already halfway to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

At first I estimated that I would be able to reach the peak of the third level of Qi Refining in a year at best, but I didn't expect that I would be so compatible with the technique. Perhaps it was also due to my special physique.

As the realm increases, the speed of the operation of the exercises also begins to accelerate. The strengthening of the physical meridians by the top-level exercises also makes the daily practice time longer.

Although his body has not yet undergone hair removal and marrow cleansing, its strength is comparable to that of a physical cultivator at the same level.

"It's been a year. I still need to complete a mandatory mission before the end of this month. I will be almost done with my recovery in ten days."

Three months ago, when he entered the fourth level of Qi training, his sword realm also reached the second level, where the sword energy turned into Qi. This was also due to his diligent practice of sword techniques and his own special talent.

In the realm of swordsmanship, when one enters the first level of sword training and forms sword energy, one will have the strength of the Qi training period. With continuous and in-depth research, the power of the sword energy will gradually increase. When the sword energy is transformed into Qi, one will have the strength to compete with the late stage of Qi training.

Now that this is my first entry-level mission, I think it won’t be dangerous for me now.

However, it is better to be cautious in everything, and we need to prepare a trump card. There are still four months left until the year, but it is enough.

It turned out that after the fourth level of Qi training, the Jingxiao Sword Art evolved into a technique of turning the breath into a sword. The lungs govern metal, and one uses spiritual power to condense the Qi in the lungs into a sword. There is no sign when it is cast, and it can be used for close-range surprise attacks, making it hard to defend against.

The Taibai Sword Technique also has a technique at the fourth level of Qi training. He feels that this is more like the prototype of a magical power, and the condition for entry into the practice is to remove a part of one's own ribs.

It is indeed the Taibai Sword Technique, cruel to the enemy and even crueler to oneself.

Every bone in the human body is very important. If we were to say which bone would have the least impact if lost, it would be the ribs, and only a small piece would be taken.

This technique is called Sword Embryo Gourd. One needs to take a small piece of rib and polish it with the spiritual power in the body. Before the rib loses its activity, engrave inscriptions all over the rib. One does not need to know all the inscriptions. One only needs to copy them according to the pictures and texts in the Taibai Sword Technique. Finally, one needs to sacrifice blood and essence, activate the technique, and then one can store it in the Dantian to warm it. Finally, it will take shape like a small gourd.

It is rumored that the Taibai Sword Sect has a gourd sword technique. People practice a gourd, and the gourd is used to practice a sword. Everyone who uses the sword will be killed.

The sword-raising gourd can stimulate the sword light, and when used in conjunction with magic weapons, it can at least increase the power of the magic weapon by one level.

In other words, by combining it with his own low-grade flying sword, he can unleash the power of a medium-grade flying sword.

It can be said to be a spell, but it also seems like it is refining a magic weapon. It can be said to be refining a magic weapon because it involves a blood sacrifice and can be absorbed into the body, giving it the feeling of refining a magic weapon. It can be said to be a magic weapon, but the sword light it emits seems like the prototype of a magical power.

This kind of bug must be practiced, but it is impossible to do it right away. You don’t have so many ribs, so you have to practice first.

I asked Sister Li to prepare suitable bones, and added bone polishing and inscription engraving to my daily practice schedule.

After about half a month, looking at these nearly a thousand bone gourds, I felt that there was no problem anymore.

He prepared all kinds of medicines for injuries and adjusted his state. When the sword came down, he felt a piercing pain and his face turned pale instantly. Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.

Looking at the ribs in the palm of his hand, he gritted his teeth, calmed himself, and applied medicine to himself. He couldn't stop. If the ribs lost their vitality, all his efforts would be wasted.

The ribs were cleaned with medicinal liquid and polishing began without stopping. The pain did not subside at all and one had to concentrate fully to carve the inscription, which was a great test of one's mental will.

"If you can't even get through this, how can you be considered a sword cultivator? You've suffered today, and others will suffer in the future when you fight with them."

Fang Xiao's spirit was constantly sharpened in this rally, just like sharpening a sword, and he persisted with this unyielding will.

Finally, not long after taking the sword-nourishing gourd into his body, the pain subsided and he felt like he was exhausted.

After this experience, his spiritual awareness also grew. The most important thing was that he condensed the prototype of his sword heart, which enabled him to have a clear sword heart, cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind during cultivation and breakthroughs, effectively avoid the disturbance of inner demons, and resist attacks on his mind during battles.

In short, although this training method is dangerous, it is all within a controllable range and the final gains are also very great.

Looking inward at Dantian, the sword-nourishing gourd is suspended inside Dantian. The more you look at it, the more you like it. It has just been refined and cannot be activated at will. It needs to be nurtured for a period of time.

The next step was to practice and recuperate, until today, a year has passed.

With his current combat power, he should be able to fight against the seventh level of Qi training. If he has a better magical flying sword, he may have a chance to reach the eighth level of Qi training.

Even though he had reached the fourth level and the monthly spirit stones increased to ten, and the pills became Qi Gathering Pills suitable for mid-term consumption, it could not change the fact that the family was poor.

He had tried to make talismans before, but he had no talent in this area and ended up wasting some spirit stones, which made him very sad.

You can only accumulate merits by completing tasks and exchange them for supplies.

The mission is imminent, and you need to go to the nearby market to prepare some talismans and pills for emergency use.

Seven days later, the injuries had completely healed, which was earlier than expected. It was time to go to the market.

Mingyuan Market, a market under the jurisdiction of Mingxuan Outer Court, was initially a place where outer court disciples spontaneously exchanged their cultivation experiences and traded the items they needed.

Later, some monks from other related sects also joined in, until finally, in the Tianqing Mountains where the Outer Court was located, almost all the immortal cultivation families and individual cultivators, big and small, would come here to trade.

Where there are people, there are naturally conflicts, forced buying and selling, robbery, and robbery.

Until the descendant of a Jindan-stage cultivator died inexplicably here, which caused him to become furious and he started to sweep through the Tianqing Mountains and the surrounding Jiang, Wei, and Chu kingdoms to eliminate the cultivators, and even many independent cultivators were affected.

Eventually, it came to nothing. After that, the outer courtyard built the Mingyuan Market here and sent an elder at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage to take charge.

Although the robbery cultivators still exist, the intensity of their attacks is so strong that they have almost lost their living space.

While thinking about the introduction of Mingyuan Market, he walked out of the courtyard. With his current speed of flying sword, it would take at least half an hour to reach the market.

"This kid has been hiding in the outer courtyard for a year and finally decided to go out. Go and inform Senior Brother Zheng."

This man was Zheng Daoxing's lackey. Fang Xiao kicked him over a year ago and he had been holding a grudge against him ever since.

"I must make this kid look good."

With Fang Xiao's spiritual sense, he was naturally clear that someone was following him from behind. Judging from the distance he was following, the person's spiritual sense was far inferior to his own.

Pretend not to know for now, and wait until you are far away from the outer courtyard to see what his intentions are.

"How about he found out?"

Zheng Daoxing and another person caught up and asked.

"No, his speed is much slower than ours."

"Okay, just chase him and don't let him get away."

"I'm going to give this kid Fang a good beating later."

He also noticed Zheng Daoxing's arrival. Seeing them speeding up to catch up with him, Fang Xiao stopped, turned around and waited for them to come over.
