"It's not just a sword blank, it's a naturally formed sword blank nurtured by heaven and earth." Xia Fusheng smiled and stroked his beard. "So, how about it? Do you like it?"
There are two types of sword embryos in the world: one is conceived by humans, and the other is born naturally.
There are many methods of artificial gestation, but the energy contained in them is far less than that of naturally born ones.
Even so, artificial sword blanks are still a priceless treasure that countless people cannot obtain even after a lifetime of effort, let alone natural sword blanks.
To obtain such a thing is an honor beyond measure.
"I love so much."
But Jiang Wuyuan closed the lid and pushed the wooden box back: "Uncle Xia, this item is too valuable, I cannot accept it."
"Have you forgotten how much you contributed to the destruction of Night Owl?" Xia Fusheng glanced at him helplessly. "Besides, you also made great contributions to the Dragon Kingdom in this matter of altering the seal... Hey, I know what you're going to say—this is all what you should do, but you still deserve a reward."
Besides, Xiao Yuan, you're about to break through to the Saint realm, aren't you?"
Even Xia Fusheng was quite moved when he said this.
Breaking through from Grandmaster to Saint is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.
Since there are no mandatory requirements for comprehending the laws, as long as one's cultivation level reaches a certain point and one masters a technique that can be used at the Saint level, the simplest breakthroughs are not particularly difficult.
The fundamental difficulty lies in how to refine blood pills of a higher grade.
Xia Fusheng's strength was second only to Nian Qingfeng and Fu Qiang in the Dragon Kingdom, but what he forged was only a low-grade blood pill.
Even though he was only at the Earth Rank, Xia Fusheng possessed such strength.
This shows just how powerful Nian Qingfeng and Fu Qiang could become after refining the Heavenly Blood Pill.
This is why Nian Qingfeng, despite his unconventional behavior, is still revered and worshipped by countless people.
However, Xia Fusheng never expected that Jiang Wuyuan could reach the threshold of sainthood in such a short time.
"The array formations are almost ready, and the method of drawing them has been taught to those five old men. You don't need to worry about the rest for now. Just focus on your breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan stopped refusing and put the wooden box containing the sword embryo into his spatial ring.
...
Since leaving the Heavenly Revelation Secret Realm, Jiang Wuyuan has not cultivated for an extended period of time.
This is also a chance to reflect on my feelings during my seclusion.
After settling into the cultivation room arranged by Xia Fusheng, the spirit-gathering formation was immediately activated.
In just a moment, dense spiritual energy gathered from all directions between heaven and earth, and countless blood crystals poured out of the spatial ring like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wuyuan used the Qiankun Technique to extract the blood energy from them and quickly absorbed it into his body.
The jade-like sword embryo floated in front of Jiang Wuyuan. It seemed to have developed a trace of intelligence and struggled to escape Jiang Wuyuan's control.
However, under the suppression of the powerful sword law, this little bit of resistance was completely futile.
Time flies like water, and the vital energy in the young man's body gradually reaches a critical point.
According to the Qiankun Manual, three things are needed to refine a divine-grade blood pill.
First, it is based on extremely powerful and rare natural treasures.
Second, the casting 'material' is made from a blood and qi reserve far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Third, by relying on the strength of his divine soul, he could completely condense the blood pill and prevent it from dissipating!
Originally, even if Xia Fusheng hadn't brought out this natural sword embryo, Jiang Wuyuan would have taken the time to find suitable natural treasures to serve as the foundation for his Blood Pill.
Now, the existence of the sword embryo naturally saves Jiang Wuyuan from this step.
As a sword cultivator, a natural sword blank is the most suitable material for forging a blood pill.
Jiang Wuyuan closed his eyes tightly and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
The strange phenomena generated by the continuous operation of the Qiankun Technique appeared behind him. Within the golden circular outline, the vast and boundless universe and stars condensed into a golden ocean of spiritual energy.
The waves surge and surge, life goes on and on.
At the moment when Jiang Wuyuan's aura reached its peak, a transparent phantom slowly appeared above the golden ocean.
Its outline is indistinct, and its existence cannot be felt.
But a strong intuition surged within Jiang Wuyuan—
Fill it with your Qi and blood!
The natural sword embryo emitted a humming sound like a sword's cry, and under the powerful suction force around Jiang Wuyuan, it entered his body.
Powerful sword energy surged into his body and limbs, causing some pain, but under the continuous sweeping of the sword energy, the capacity of his meridians gradually increased by more than double.
Impurities flowed out of his pores, emitting a foul odor, but Jiang Wuyuan had no time to clean them up right now.
He gritted his teeth and used his qi and blood to push the natural sword embryo that was surging wildly within his body toward his dantian.
Chant!
The instant the two overlapped, a stream of light suddenly burst forth from Jiang Wuyuan's dantian.
The golden sword pattern on his forehead suddenly appeared, but then vanished in an instant, making one wonder if the fleeting, stunning effect was merely an illusion.
After the sword embryo entered his body, the power of Jiang Wuyuan's blood and qi poured into the illusory image like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
One day, two days...
The sun and moon revolve, and time passes unnoticed.
Even though the surging of Qi and blood never elicited the slightest response from the illusory figure, Jiang Wuyuan remained calm and composed, absorbing spiritual energy while simultaneously channeling his Qi and blood into the illusory figure through the Qiankun Technique.
Until this moment.
The phantom suddenly stirred.
It looked as if some creature had hatched, stretching out a tiny hand and a tiny foot.
Jiang Wuyuan silently examined himself, somewhat puzzled as to what kind of blood pill he had refined.
However, there is no turning back now.
As if an endless stream of vital energy continued to nourish his body, a vortex of spiritual energy soared into the sky even outside the cultivation room.
If Xia Fusheng hadn't intervened and separated them, the entire government headquarters would probably have been blown away by the storm.
...
"Elder Xia, look, it's a lightning tribulation!" As Elder Xia's assistant, Lin Wangsheng looked in surprise at the thunderclouds gathering outside the window.
One second it was a bright sunny day, and the next second the entire capital city was shrouded in thunderclouds.
Xia Fusheng put down his pen and looked up.
Although lightning crackled within the dark purple clouds, it was merely gathering power; there was no sign of a human breakthrough nearby.
Xia Fusheng vaguely sensed the power of the lightning tribulation and sighed.
That kid's talent is truly freakish.
Before I even broke through, the tribulation lightning arrived.
