Successfully condensing a vortex of energy is a sign of successful completion of the first level of the Qiankun Technique.

As for the amount of cyclone that can be condensed, that depends on individual aptitude.

Before becoming a martial artist, one can continuously increase the number of cyclones.

But nine is the ultimate number.

Once nine cyclones are reached, the number of cyclones will not increase further.

Unfortunately, throughout history, apart from the creator of this technique, no one else has ever been able to reach nine Qi cyclones before a martial arts master.

Today, Jiang Wuyuan has just started practicing this technique and he has already been able to condense six vortexes, which is a monstrous talent that I have never seen before.

As time passed, the cyclone expanded slowly but steadily.

As darkness fell, all six cyclones grew to the size of basketballs.

And a seventh cyclone is already faintly emerging.

Jiang Wuyuan took a deep breath and withdrew from his meditative state.

The constantly fluctuating air currents around us gradually dissipated.

The unprecedented abundance of qi and blood gave Jiang Wuyuan a feeling of greatly increased strength, as if he could punch the sky.

But he understood that this was just an illusion caused by an excessive increase in qi and blood.

He turned on his bracelet, intending to check his current data.

Jiang Wuyuan was shocked.

He gained nearly 40 points of Qi and Blood after just one day of cultivation, which is almost equivalent to a year of hard work in the past.

Although the third-tier blood crystal also played a role.

But it cannot be denied that the Qiankun Technique is indeed ridiculously powerful.

Like the "Feng Hua" skill, it seems to be unknown to the bracelet's system, which is why it shows a question mark.

Moreover, even with his Qi and Blood reaching 149, Jiang Wuyuan did not feel any bottleneck at all.

It seems he does indeed have a chance to break through the legendary 199 HP value again.

At that time, it will naturally possess the strongest foundation.

After collecting the remaining Tier 3 Blood Crystals from the ground, Jiang Wuyuan glanced at the pitch-black sky outside the window, feeling somewhat ashamed.

He hadn't expected this cultivation to take so long; it seemed he would have to go to the Mountain and Sea Pavilion again tomorrow.

As his blood and energy increase, his need for food also gradually increases.

Jiang Wuyuan brought out a bowl of simple home-style stir-fry and a bowl of rice from the kitchen and quickly began to devour them.

After a day of hunger, I was truly starving.

[How does it feel to change your cultivation method?] Only then did the sword spirit speak slowly.

[It feels great, no wonder it's a rankless cultivation technique.] Jiang Wuyuan was communicating with the sword spirit in his mind, which didn't affect his eating at all.

The sword spirit smiled smugly, but still gave Jiang Wuyuan some serious advice: "The most powerful aspect of the Qiankun Technique is that it allows you to constantly absorb and exhale qi and blood, which you cannot do at the moment."

Remember, no matter how powerful a technique or skill is, it is ultimately for your own benefit.

Like a sword, you control it, not the other way around.

Jiang Wuyuan seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

He never really understood the sword and the way of the sword.

For the past three years, he has only been practicing his skills and techniques to improve his strength.

The reason I chose to learn sword-related skills was simply because of the blessing of my innate sword heart.

[You've only grasped sword energy through talent so far, but what lies beyond sword energy? And how can you improve your strength?]

Jiang Wuyuan straightened up and immediately humbly said, "[Please enlighten me, teacher.]"

The sword spirit nodded, although it knew that Jiang Wuyuan could not see [In today's world, spiritual energy is reviving and martial arts are flourishing. Although you seem to prefer to call it blood and qi, the difference is not significant.]

The path of martial arts has many different paths.

Swordsmanship, spearmanship, the way of the elements, and so on.

The path you are walking is the way of the sword.

Picking up a sword, knowing how to use it, and being able to cut people—this is something almost any ordinary person can do, but it doesn't count as the beginning of swordsmanship.

The true beginning of Kendo is to comprehend one's own sword intent.

There are many paths to martial arts, but ultimately, it all comes down to walking your own unique path.

[So the sword energy I've grasped so far can't really be considered an introduction to swordsmanship?]

The sword spirit shook its head. [Of course not. Sword energy only makes your attacks more powerful; how can it be considered your own path?]

Jiang Wuyuan understood, and then asked, "[Teacher, how can I comprehend sword intent and find my own path?]"

Upon hearing this, the sword spirit smiled mysteriously.

[When the time is right, you will know.]
