Mortal Alchemy

This "Myriad Manifestations Flowing Sword" is much stronger than the "Azure Lotus Swordplay"!

Moreover, it complements the sword intent, enhancing each other.

Cultivating to the first level is like Taiji giving birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang giving birth to the Four Symbols!

These Four Symbols refer to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Cultivating to the second level, the Four Symbols give birth to the Eight Trigrams!

Cultivating to the third level, the Eight Trigrams give birth to Myriad Manifestations!

It contains a total of nine moves!

This can be considered the pinnacle of sword cultivation techniques in the Eastern Region!

In addition to this sword technique, there is also a "Sword Nurturing Manual".

As well as how to nurture sword intent, sword formations, and so on...

To put it simply, the inheritance left by Senior Gong Yue to Chen Ping can be called "A Sword Cultivator's Guide to Self-Improvement".

The only thing missing is how to cultivate sword intent.

Otherwise, with Senior Gong Yue's abilities, he could probably give Chen Ping, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the battle power of the third realm of sword intent.

But that would be forcing growth.

It would also prevent Chen Ping from finding his own sword path.

From Chen Ping's current perspective, the sword inheritance left to him by Senior Gong Yue is quite domineering.

Clearly, it's aimed at nurturing him into a top cultivator.

But that's to be expected, how can one expect to reach the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul stage if they are not a top cultivator of their generation?

Chen Ping sat down cross-legged, first comprehending the "Myriad Manifestations Flowing Sword", and then replacing the technique in his divine soul.

He decided to use this technique to condense his Dharma body.

The Dharma body condensed by the Azure Lotus Swordplay is just an azure lotus blooming with a sword.

The difference between a Tier 3 technique and a Tier 4 technique is like heaven and earth.

He knew that his aptitude was not good, and his mind was like tofu dregs when it came to the sword, so he had to be careful when using Enlightenment Pills to comprehend this technique.

...

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

During this year, the interior of the Eastern Wilderness was turned upside down, with ten thousand demons surging like a tide.

Even Demon Emperor-level existences had fallen.

The Four Great Sects began to activate their long-sealed Merit Leaderboards.

A Tier 2 demon equals one merit point, and a Tier 3 demon equals ten merit points.

The Eastern Region's cultivation world was in an uproar.

Overnight, the prices of various resources increased by nearly double, and the cultivators of the Four Great Sects were shaken. Some cultivators who had been sitting in seclusion for a long time also went to the battlefield to compete for merit, hoping for a Golden Core opportunity, or even a Nascent Soul opportunity.

This demonic tide war is expected to last for twenty years. If it goes smoothly, the human cultivators of the Eastern Region will be able to push forward two thousand miles into the Eastern Wilderness!

The vast two thousand miles of land contains countless treasures!

A mighty group of cultivators set off for the Eastern Wilderness Immortal City.

Eastern Xuan Sect, Gong Yue Peak!

In the back hall.

Chen Ping sat cross-legged.

A piece of chaotic spiritual light hung above Chen Ping's head. Within the spiritual light, a sword was born, resembling Taiji, divided into black and white Yin and Yang, rotating endlessly.

It emitted a terrifyingly sharp fluctuation.

Beneath the black and white, it seemed that the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and their related powers, were about to be born.

Further down, it seemed that thunder, volcanoes, hail, and floods were about to be born and appear.

To Chen Ping's surprise, this Myriad Manifestations Flowing Sword was somewhat similar to the first "Four Seasons Swordplay" he learned, limited to the second level of the technique.

This allowed him to quickly comprehend the second level of swordplay after comprehending the first level, without relying on Enlightenment Pills.

The intertwining of spring, summer, autumn, and winter can create sharp sword techniques.

But it was still too early for Chen Ping to cultivate into a Dharma body.

He had not even comprehended the Dharma Idol yet, and did not even know how to cultivate the Dharma Idol.

If he had enough Enlightenment Pills, he would probably make much faster progress.

Once he comprehended the Dharma Idol, he could integrate the Dharma Idol into his divine soul, thereby forming a Houtian Dharma body.

Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and his temperament underwent a tremendous change.

He was like a sharp sword that had been enlightened, with a sharp and exposed temperament. Anyone who saw him would have to praise him:

"What a fine sword cultivator!"

Sword cultivators are very pure.

Taking out a brand new Daoist robe from his space ring and putting it on, Chen Ping slowly walked out of the back hall.

In the main hall, Senior Gong Yue was not present, only Bai Jianjia remained here.

She sensed that Chen Ping had come out of seclusion and brewed a pot of Tier 3 spiritual tea: "Junior Brother, you have finally come out of seclusion."

Chen Ping cupped his hands from afar and said: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for guarding the place."

Bai Jianjia sensed Chen Ping's change: "Junior Brother is truly gifted in the way of the sword. Junior Brother only spent a year comprehending the basics of Master's sword inheritance."

"I spent almost three years back then."

Chen Ping was ashamed. He knew his own situation. Without the Enlightenment Pills, he would probably have to spend ten or eight years to comprehend the basics.

He smiled and said: "Senior Sister is too kind. I have only comprehended a little bit of the surface."

Bai Jianjia's eyes were gentle, and she said with a smile:

"Junior Brother is truly humble."

"Sit down and have some tea."

Chen Ping nodded, came to Bai Jianjia and sat down opposite her, picked up the spiritual tea in front of him and took a light sip. His divine soul was cleansed, his fatigue was removed, and he had a clear mind. After a long while, he said: "This is truly good tea."

Bai Jianjia said with a smile: "This is Master's Guidance Tea, which is the sect's allocated share. There are only three catties each year."

"Only Nascent Soul Seniors in the sect can drink it."

Chen Ping said with a smile:

"Then I am benefiting from Master's good fortune."

Bai Jianjia took out a sword box and said with a smile: "Junior Brother, this is a great gift that Master has prepared for you."

"Oh?"

Chen Ping took the sword box, opened it, and his expression was shocked: "Senior Sister, this is a Tier 3 sword, a magic treasure!"

Magic treasure! This was the first time Chen Ping had seen such a precious Tier 3 item!

Any magic treasure is worth at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, or even millions of spirit stones, or millions of spirit stones, depending on the purpose of the magic treasure and the materials used.

Of course, the unit of spirit stones here is low-grade spirit stones, not medium-grade spirit stones.

Bai Jianjia nodded slightly: "Didn't your Yaoyue Sword get damaged, Junior Brother? That's why Master prepared a good sword for you."

"As a sword cultivator, how can you not have a good sword by your side?"

Chen Ping took a deep breath: "But a Tier 3 magic treasure is too precious..."

No one had ever been so good to him.

Moreover, a Foundation Establishment cultivator holding a Tier 3 sword magic treasure is like a child parading gold in the street.

But correspondingly, Chen Ping's combat power can also undergo a qualitative change, and can be raised to a higher level!

Bai Jianjia said with a smile: "This sword is called 'Aurora'. Junior Brother, use the 'Sword Nurturing Manual' to nurture it, refine it into your natal magic treasure, and there is a chance that a sword spirit will be born in the future."

Chen Ping immediately loved it: "Sword spirit?"

Magic treasures have the opportunity to give birth to artifact spirits. Artifact spirits and artifact masters are connected in their hearts, so they can exert the greatest power, and can kill enemies and save lives at critical moments.

This is the difference between magic treasures and spiritual weapons and magical artifacts.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators may not have such good things as magic treasures, let alone precious sword magic treasures.
