Chapter 110 Sword Dao Opportunity 9 "Master, my Yin Body..."
"Master, besides such a simple function, does my Yin Body have any other abilities?"
Jiutian Yun said, "Although your constitution would turn you from honey into poison to cultivators, you still have a very strong attraction. It's just that cultivators have brains and can recognize the dangers involved, so they won't really do anything to you. But various spiritual objects and magical treasures don't have this ability to distinguish, and they are very easily attracted to you."
"Haven't you had similar experiences before? Like sensing magical artifacts or spirit objects?"
Xie Jiaoyue immediately remembered her natal spirit sword.
This spirit sword was attached to me by myself when I was in the Xin family. At that time, it was a small spirit sword that was shining with golden light. Later, it turned into a white jade shape and stopped shining and was no longer vibrant. It looked ordinary.
After resolving Xie Jiaoyue's most serious problem, the two fell into a brief silence.
This was the first time Jiutian Yun had taken on a disciple. He originally wanted to create a cultivation plan for Xie Jiaoyue, one that would cover at least the few days in the Qingyuan Secret Realm. However, he sat at the table for a long time, scratching his head, but could only hold the pen without being able to write anything down.
How should I train my apprentice? I need an answer urgently.
Jiutianyun turned his back and asked in a pretentious manner, "Now that we are master and disciple, I should naturally be responsible for you. Apart from the issue of your physique, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Xie Jiaoyue's eyes lit up. Then she had a lot of questions, so many that she immediately wanted to make a list, such as the spirit sword that she had just remembered.
"Should I say it now? Time is a bit tight, and I can't think of too many right now. Let me just say a few."
Xie Jiaoyue had only a little spiritual energy in her dantian, just enough for her to make her natal spirit sword manifest. An ordinary-looking spirit sword lay on the ground, its only advantage being its pure white color, which made it look quite nice.
"When I first obtained this spirit sword, it wasn't like this. Not only was it full of spiritual energy, but it also seemed to have a sword spirit, with its own consciousness, and it could choose its own master."
"But after I made a pact with it, apart from being a little more durable and wear-resistant than ordinary spirit swords, it had no other special features. No matter how I tried to activate it, I could no longer get a response."
"Master, do you know what's going on?"
Xie Jiaoyue didn't stop after finishing her first question; she went on to say all her questions in one breath.
"My second question is that when I was killing monsters a few days ago, I tried out some sword techniques that I had come up with on my own, but I felt that their power was not as great as I had expected. I feel that my sword techniques are not mature enough. Master, could you give me some pointers?"
"My third question is about the Foundation Establishment stage. I've only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and I've heard that there are many differences between the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages. I originally wanted to study the classic texts to find out about this myself, but now I have a master! Master, could you teach me?"
"And there's more..."
After listening, Jiu Tianyun felt that this child was capable and had a clear mind. He thought that even without a master, he could still succeed on his own.
He felt even happier.
He used to not understand why those old guys liked to show off their apprentices all the time, and they would smile from ear to ear every time they did it. Now he understands, and he would want to show off his apprentices too.
The territory in the Southwest Region is still too small. Perhaps he should return to the Eastern Region, bringing his little disciple with him, so that everyone can see that his disciple, Jiutianyun, is stronger than anyone else!
Jiutianyun had a good memory. Although Xie Jiaoyue had said a long list, he remembered every single question clearly. After a quick mental analysis and prioritizing, he said:
"Of all your questions, the most crucial one is about your spirit sword. How did you obtain this spirit sword?"
Xie Jiaoyue recounted in detail how she obtained the spirit sword. It was taken from Xin Xiuying's house. It was a magical spirit sword that had been attached to the Xin family's heirloom, the Water Pattern Alchemy Furnace. It had taken the initiative to cling to her and even aroused Chu Xingjin's jealousy.
After listening, Jiutianyun said, "Your spirit sword is on the verge of developing a sword spirit. Only by finding a wise master and growing together with the sword master will it have the opportunity to truly develop a sword spirit. The reason it has been dormant is probably because its actions in finding you have exhausted its accumulated spiritual energy, so it has no choice but to remain in this state."
Xie Jiaoyue turned her head so that her gaze could see her natal spirit sword, and asked curiously, "Then how do I nurture it?"
Jiutian Yun said, "Actually, if you use it normally, the spiritual energy in your body will naturally nourish the spirit sword, but the speed is too slow. It may take a hundred years to give birth to a sword spirit. There are ways to speed it up, such as feeding it with metal-type spiritual objects. As long as you continue to provide it with spiritual objects, you will soon be able to obtain a spirit sword of better quality than the Azure Kite Sword."
Jiutianyun was still holding a grudge, and his disciple could not possibly be inferior to the natal spirit sword used by Chu Xingjin!
He took Xie Jiaoyue's storage ring. Since Xie Jiaoyue had only recently advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, her storage ring was naturally unlocked, and he could open it at will without any problems.
He closed his eyes and began rummaging through his storage ring with his spiritual energy: "The demon cores from the monsters you killed before are usable. This Demon Gold Grass is also usable, but the others aren't very good. However, these two together should be enough to give the sword spirit a vague consciousness."
Xie Jiaoyue felt a wave of dizziness. She was incredibly wealthy, but the most valuable things she had acquired so far, besides the pile of spirit swords she got in Lanshan Alley, were this herb and this demon core.
The Spirit-Nourishing Sword is too expensive; no wonder sword cultivators are all poor.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at the two spiritual items held in Jiutianyun's hands and said with heartache, "At this moment, the spiritual herbs contain clues to demonic energy. I originally wanted to use them to find the place where the demonic energy was leaking, but it's not appropriate to use them directly."
Jiutian Yun waved his hand casually: "Don't worry about that, I'll handle everything."
Xie Jiaoyue couldn't find any other reason to convince herself to keep the two spiritual items, so she turned her head to the wall, her voice trembling, and said with great heartache, "Then use them, Master. Please feed them to the spirit sword for me."
She couldn't bring herself to do it!
Jiutianyun turned Xie Jiaoyue's face back with the sword sheath: "Face reality, only the sword master can do this kind of thing."
Xie Jiaoyue sighed, "Then we can only talk about it after I've rested. Cao'er, Dan'er, it's so good that you can live for another two days."
With this problem unresolved and other issues not to be solved anytime soon, Jiutianyun was finally able to realize his idea and drew up a plan for Xie Jiaoyue for the next few days.
On the other side, after being thrown out by Jiutianyun and tricked by Jin Wan and Xie Xinghui, Chu Xingjin did not immediately return to Gong Shiyu and the others, but instead explored the secret realm alone.
He could have foreseen what Jin Wan and Xie Xinghui would do to him, but that only fueled his hatred for them. As for Jiu Tianyun's actions, Chu Xingjin felt more than just resentment; he harbored a deep-seated anger.
Why treat him like that! Even if he didn't take out the Azure Kite Sword, he was willing to give up a Heavenly-grade spiritual sword!
There are only about ten Heaven-grade spirit swords in the world, and he himself has obtained three of them. If you miss out on him, where else can Jiutian Yun obtain a spirit sword of such grade?
He didn't think his attitude had offended anyone, nor did he think he had done anything wrong. On the contrary, he was angry and confused. After thinking for a long time, he concluded that he had guessed Jiutianyun's thoughts.
Jiutianyun wasn't just after the spirit sword he was willing to offer; he coveted all the spirit swords he had acquired! Since killing was forbidden in the Qingyuan Secret Realm, Jiutianyun would definitely find an opportunity to eliminate him and steal all his possessions once he left.
For the first time, Chu Xingjin felt such a tremendous sense of crisis. A Nascent Soul cultivator loomed over him like a huge and heavy black cloud before a storm, making him feel an omnipresent oppression every second.
Under such pressure, he, who had just successfully established his foundation, suddenly had an epiphany and directly advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment period.
Even the swordsmanship he used to find difficult to learn is no longer difficult, his spiritual energy circulation is more smooth, and the speed of spiritual energy recovery is faster.
Chu Xingjin suddenly understood why, even though he was the chosen one of Heaven and the protagonist of the world, his journey had been so unsuccessful.
This is all for today!
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve, strengthens their body, and subjects them to hunger and hardship. Heaven is testing him, using this method to accelerate his growth!
Gong Shiyu, who arrived late, witnessed everything. His gaze toward Chu Xingjin became even more ardent, and his previously indifferent emotions were rekindled.
Chu Xingjin was clearly meditating on the ground, but his gaze toward Gongshi Yu not far away revealed a condescending air, and he said in a majestic tone: "You've come."
Gong Shiyu sensed the even higher concentration of spiritual energy around Chu Xingjin and knelt on one knee: "Lord Chu, I am late. I spent some time looking for the others, but I couldn't find them, so I am late."
Chu Xingjin's eyes were indifferent, unlike before, revealing no emotion. He said calmly, "It's alright. From now on, the two of us are enough."
He stood up, his tone full of confidence: "You and I are among the few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the entire Qingyuan Secret Realm. Rather than bringing others along and becoming a burden, it would be better for the two of us to join forces. We will surely be invincible in the secret realm."
Gong Shiyu seemed to be thinking of such a common idea for the first time: "That's right, Lord Chu, we don't need to bring them with us at all. The two of us are the best combination."
Gong Shiyu and Chu Xingjin's eyes met, and both of them could see a raging fire burning in their eyes, filled with desire. They were sure that they would become the people who would gain the most in this Qingyuan Secret Realm!
It is important to know that after the ten days are up and everyone leaves the Azure Kite Secret Realm, everyone will register their gains in the Azure Kite Secret Realm.
There was no official ranking of the top performers, but in reality, everyone from the teachers to the students knew who the top performers were.
That was the best proof of strength, opportunity, and luck. If Chu Xingjin could become the person standing at the very top, his previous discord with the Xie family and his conflicts with the Jinling City Clan Academy would no longer be a problem.
He will once again stand at the center of everyone's attention, carrying his insights from this experience, and truly begin his own path to the summit.
