Upon hearing this, Su Qing frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid this kind of secret realm is not for an outer disciple like me to enter."
In a large sect like Xuanling Sect, not to mention the personal disciples of the Nascent Soul stage sect leader and sect protectors, there are also many inner disciples taken in by the elders of each peak.
These are all exceptionally talented individuals with unique spiritual roots, including single and double spiritual roots. Su Qing, an outer disciple with three spiritual roots, is simply not among them.
Besides, even if the sect allocated spots for outer disciples, it would only select disciples at the peak of the Qi Refining stage. Su Qing, a disciple at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, wouldn't even be eligible.
"No, no, no, although this secret realm is called an adventure, it's more like picking up the scraps. The sect has organized a team of twenty people this time, so it's naturally not for outer sect disciples to participate. However, the sect still issues a mission, and as long as outer sect disciples sign up, they can enter the secret realm together," Fu Yong said.
"You can enter the secret realm just by registering? Won't this mission be incredibly popular?" Su Qing asked in surprise.
“If it were released, it would definitely be overwhelmed with traffic,” Fu Yong said, raising an eyebrow.
Su Qing understood; Fu Yong was giving her preferential treatment.
"Senior Brother Fu Yong, thank you." Su Qing said, taking out a jar containing three hundred Spirit Recovery Pills, as well as a stack of talismans, all of which were ordinary first and second-grade talismans. Finally, Su Qing also took out two talismans, one a Transformation Talisman and the other a Teleportation Talisman.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, what are you doing?" Fu Yong quickly declined.
Su Qing handed the task to Fu Yong, saying, "Senior brother, these are nothing compared to the task you gave me."
These are the most sought-after items among the disciples of the Xuanling Sect. Even the Foundation Establishment disciples have secretly stockpiled quite a few.
Fu Yong really wanted it, but how could he take his junior sister's things?
In the end, Fu Yong couldn't resist the temptation and accepted the gifts.
“Junior Sister Su Qing, these things of yours are just too tempting, I can’t refuse. Here, I recently acquired a book on basic formations, I’ll give it to you, Junior Sister.” Fu Yong said, handing Su Qing a book with slightly yellowed pages.
Su Qing took it and saw that it was a basic formation.
This wasn't the kind of array formation introduction Su Qing had seen in the library; it was an introductory book on array formations that could be used to learn them.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Su Qing didn't refuse and put it away.
This is really good stuff!
There aren't many cultivators who know how to form formations, precisely because formations require inheritance. In her previous life, Su Qing had also obtained two books on formations, but because her foundation was too weak, she could never figure them out.
This book on basic formations starts from the most fundamental formations, which Su Qing can use to fill in any gaps in her knowledge.
"Junior Sister, our mission department just received the news and will release it tomorrow. It will take about a month to enter the secret realm. Go back and prepare well. In the secret realm, just follow the exploration team and pick up the leftovers."
“Brother Fu Yong is right.”
After leaving the mission site, Su Qing pondered that her current cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining was really not enough. Of course, there was also her Nine Revolutions Azure Origin Sword Technique. She had just started cultivating the third revolution. She originally planned to complete the third revolution in a month, but now it seemed that she needed to speed things up.
Although Fu Yong said that there was no danger in entering the secret realm and following the exploration team to pick up loot, Su Qing still decided to prepare a few ways to protect herself.
With that thought in mind, Su Qing headed straight for the training ground.
She needs to undergo intensive training to complete the third level of the Nine Revolutions Azure Origin Sword Technique before she will be qualified to accept missions.
In the training ground, Su Qing held a Purple Fire Sword. Although the Purple Fire Sword was damaged, it did not affect Su Qing's sword practice. As the purple light intensified, Su Qing felt that all the spiritual power in her body was suddenly drained.
The third revolution of the Nine Revolutions Azure Origin Sword Technique is just that domineering.
Su Qing was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage. Every time she used this move, the spiritual energy in her body was exhausted.
Su Qing took out a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills from her storage space and poured all ten into her mouth. Instantly, a surge of spiritual energy spread from her lungs to her entire body, and she felt her parched meridians receive some nourishment.
She hurriedly sat down to meditate and cultivate, and then suddenly opened her eyes. She felt that her meridians had widened considerably.
It seems that exhausting one's spiritual energy in this way is very beneficial for cultivation.
From then on, Su Qing began a self-torture mode, practicing sword techniques to exhaust all the spiritual energy in her body, then taking spirit-restoring pills to replenish her spiritual energy, and then meditating to cultivate.
In fact, Su Qing could feel that her cultivation speed had increased considerably since the appearance of small vortexes in her body.
Moreover, with continuous cultivation, her body also underwent some changes.
For example, practicing swordsmanship would drain the spiritual energy from one's body. In her previous life, Su Qing would never have done this, because draining spiritual energy would damage the body and would not benefit future cultivation.
But things are different now. It seems that her body is not the same as in her previous life. Every time she drains her spiritual energy, she can actually widen her meridians and make her cultivation faster. Her bones and muscles are also being tempered as a result.
Aside from the fact that doing this caused Su Qing to feel pain all over her body due to the loss of her spiritual power, it actually brought many benefits.
pain?
Having suffered greatly in her previous life, Su Qing didn't take these waves of pain to heart at all.
In just half a month, Su Qing mastered the Nine Revolutions Azure Origin Sword Technique.
When Su Qing emerged from seclusion, she had already reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage!
However, Su Qing's Purple Fire Sword was covered in cracks and could be ruined at any time!
With no other option, Su Qing took the Purple Fire Sword to the Xuanling Sect's weapon-refining room and asked her senior brother, who was skilled in weapon refining, to help repair it.
"This, this is the Purple Fire Sword?" The senior brother in the weapon-forging room stared wide-eyed. Apart from the three words "Purple Fire Sword" on the hilt, the sword was covered in cracks. It was no longer the original Purple Fire Sword.
"Senior brother, can this sword be repaired?" Su Qing asked cautiously.
"Repair it? The next time you draw your sword, it might shatter into pieces, and you still want to repair it?" The senior brother in the weapon-refining room looked at Su Qing as if she were a monster.
This is the Purple Fire Sword!
Although it can't be considered a top-grade magic artifact, it is still a magic artifact made from Purple Fire Demon Crystal!
Every year, the Xuanling Sect would forge a set of Five Elements Swords: Purple Fire Sword, Green Water Sword, Ochre Earth Sword, Black Gold Sword, and Green Wood Sword.
These five swords will be given to the most outstanding disciple who joins the Xuanling Sect.
This time, three swords were given to the outer disciples who were the first to pass through the Heavenly Ladder...
The senior brother in the weapon-refining room suddenly looked up, stared at Su Qing for a long time, and asked, "Are you Junior Sister Su Qing?"
Su Qing nodded somewhat awkwardly.
Unexpectedly, the senior brother in the weapon-refining room's eyes lit up and he burst into laughter.
“No wonder, no wonder the Purple Fire Sword has become like this. Junior Sister Su Qing, it seems this sword cannot be repaired. How about this, I have a better sword here for you.”
