Chapter 28 Six Meridian Divine Sword?

In fact, Ji An was confident that he could master the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique to perfection within a year, but as a person, it's good to keep something in reserve, so he signed up for three years.

Even so, others considered it an impossible task.

Zhao Mengyao's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her gaze conveying a profound meaning.

Are there any Qi Refining stage disciples in the sect who have mastered their spells to perfection?

Yes, you can find one right next to her.

However, these people, having no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, devoted their time and mana to honing their spells, thus gaining the qualification to stay in the sect for a longer period of time.

Those who aspire to Foundation Establishment wish they could spend all their time refining their magical power to improve their cultivation.

Cultivation is the foundation of everything, especially breakthroughs in major realms, which can significantly extend lifespan.

Living longer gives you more time to hone your magic and improve your cultivation.

Generally speaking, cultivators who can maintain their vigorous progress in cultivation are not willing to spend too much time practicing spells and comprehending their mysteries.

However, if it only takes three years to perfect a spell, no cultivator would refuse.

Chu He raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then awkwardly shut his mouth.

In half a year, he barely mastered the three basic spells of weapon crafting, and he spoke without any confidence.

His cultivation level was higher than his opponent's, but his progress in the cultivation technique was behind. Moreover, he understood the difference between minor and major success!

Zhang Yuanshan looked at the blood-red afterglow smeared on Ji An's profile, and at the restrained light in his eyes, and his heart stirred inexplicably.

Regardless of whether the other party can achieve this goal, their composure alone is reassuring.

“Then we’ll wait and see,” Zhang Yuanshan said, looking up at the sky.

"It's getting late, and we must return to our respective palaces. Farewell, Junior Brother."

Another hurdle has been overcome.

Ji An breathed a sigh of relief; pretending to be cool is exhausting!

If you can't convey that aura, it's a failure.

"Senior brothers and sisters, please wait a moment."

He rushed into the bamboo house in the rain, found a few small cloth bags, shook them clean, and filled each person with more than ten catties of yellow sprout rice.

He found another piece of oilcloth, wrapped the bag in it, tucked the oilcloth into his arms, and ran out with his back bent.

"Junior brother, we have nothing of value here. If senior brothers and sisters don't mind, please accept this little bit of spirit rice."

Human relationships are built up through repeated interactions.

Regardless of their motives, these people genuinely helped him, and we can be on good terms with them in the future.

Zhang Yuanshan picked up the cloth bag generously and said with a smile:

"Alright, I just ate Junior Brother's spiritual rice and my mouth is still full of fragrance. I'll accept it with pleasure."

The other two also received the spirit rice, and then left on the talisman bird.

The three shadows, illuminated by the setting sun, slowly shrank in Ji An's eyes. He immediately turned around and returned to the bamboo house.

After changing into dry clothes, I sat cross-legged on the futon to cultivate the Pure Source Scripture. How could I let the spiritual power in the yellow sprout rice go to waste!

When he opened his eyes again, an hour had passed. He was now able to cultivate for half an hour longer than when he first started cultivating.

The room was filled with moonlight, and the wooden sculpture on the windowsill, polished and patinated, reflected light like broken glass.

"Sell some of the spirit rice tomorrow and speed up your cultivation."

The stone turtle's devouring ability, coupled with its own low aptitude, meant that without elixirs, its cultivation progressed far too slowly.

Ji An also plans to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible. The higher the cultivation level, the more magical power the body can hold, which will allow for the release of more spells and the cultivation of more spiritual fields.

If we disregard the debts he carries, the perfect closed loop for improving his cultivation level has already taken shape.

Ji An got up and stretched his legs; his body was slightly stiff from maintaining one position for so long.

The immortal meridians within a Qi Refining stage cultivator are not very robust, and cannot nourish every inch of their body during cultivation. This is another reason why Qi Refining stage cultivators cannot cultivate for extended periods.

Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, this concern will disappear.

Once the tingling sensation in his legs completely disappeared, Ji An began practicing the Sharp Metal Technique.

Although the second-level spells could solve the aphid problem in the Spirit Valley, practicing the Sharp Metal Technique allowed for more precise control of magical power and also helped to strengthen his spiritual sense. He devoted more of his time to this spell.

Ji An felt particularly good today, and the fine threads of metal elemental energy condensed were changing at will according to his wishes.

Whether gathered in a bunch or scattered, they seem to handle things with ease and skill.

He was free of distractions and immersed in this wonderful feeling.

When he gathered the metal elemental energy together once again, he suddenly felt that something seemed different this time.

A faint golden ray, about the thickness of a little finger, shot from the fingertip, flying four or five meters away, preparing to strike the wooden carving on the windowsill.

Holy crap, I've mastered the Six Meridians Divine Sword?

Ji An was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He suddenly took a step forward, picked up the wood carving, and brought it close to his eyes.

The wood carving was pierced by the metal element's spiritual energy, and the opening was not smooth, with some rough edges to the touch.

With one eye closed, he saw the bright moon outside the building through the small hole.

He moved slowly and saw the leaves illuminated by the moonlight and the stars in the sky.

Who says planting magic can't hurt people!

Ji An's grin stretched from ear to ear. If this were used to cast a spell on someone, even a Qi Refining stage cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand it!

【Sharp Metal Technique (Mastery 49% → 51%)】

What a pity! It wasn't an epiphany.

Though he felt a pity in his heart, Ji An's eyes shone brightly.

His fingers traced the wounds on the wood carving, his lips moving:

"Poor thing, it was supposed to be a good thing, but you're the one who got hurt."

I've had this wooden carving for many years, and I've grown attached to it.

He decided that if he had time, he would find some wood similar to the wood carving and fill in the small holes.

Ji An carefully recalled the state of the bundled threads and began to recreate the operation.

After failing more than ten times, it finally succeeded once, but this time the cucumbers on the wooden rack suffered the consequences.

"yeah!"

He tried to cast the spell again, only to realize with a start that he had almost no spiritual energy left in his body, and his head was throbbing slightly, which was a sign of overuse of his spiritual sense.

Cultivation is a long process; it is impossible to achieve it overnight in the orthodox lineage of Xuanmen.

Ji An sat cross-legged on the futon, beginning to ponder why he had been in such a high state during his spell practice today.

After pondering for a long time, he gradually began to have some ideas.

Since entering the sect, even with the help of the stone tortoise, his cultivation has been difficult, and he has to carefully plan his progress.

Subconsciously, one's thoughts are too heavy-handed and not decisive enough, which does not align with the essence of metal element magic.

Today's conversation with Zhang Yuanshan and others unconsciously revealed my ambition, and my actions carried a certain heroic spirit.

When practicing spells, this sharp spirit in his heart had not yet dissipated, so practicing the Sharp Metal Technique was a perfect match.

He recalled the night he first learned the Sharp Metal Technique, his mind filled with an indomitable spirit.

"The environment is created by the mind, and things change with the mind; where the mind is directed, the environment is."

Ji An recited the poem with ease, feeling as if he had vaguely touched a door.

If he can push open this door, his cultivation techniques will be twice as effective.
