Chapter 64

The small courtyard.

Under the direct sunlight, Jiang Ding sat cross-legged with two swords on his knees: the longer one was 1.3 meters, a standard steel sword in a scabbard; the shorter one was 40 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters wide, also placed horizontally across his knees.

The short sword shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight; one could clearly see that the sunlight on the sword and within a three-inch radius of the blade was brighter.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes to regulate his breathing; without realizing it, he had grown fond of sunbathing.

Especially with the faint, comfortable sensations occasionally transmitted from the talisman sword, he felt a touch more affection for the golden sunlight filling the sky.

The Tier 1 Golden Fire Bamboo Paper and the Tier 1 Great Sun Spirit-Gathering Array both had a natural affinity for the sun; in fact, they could only achieve maximum growth under sunlight.

Three days passed, and his essence and blood had initially fused with the complex array patterns.

One had to admit, the Immortal Sect's cultivation technology system was vast to a terrifying degree; even for the most obscure things, there was technical reserve.

This novel is first published on 【Platform】, please go there to read!

Its speed had already reached that of an arrow; it was invisible to the naked eye of an ordinary person and posed a great threat even to martial artists at the Minor Accomplishment stage of the Internal Qi Realm.

Hua Zhengtian explained:

Jiang Ding's pale complexion had also fully recovered, and internal power surged within his body, tempering the tiny branch meridians of the Twelve Standard Meridians in his peak state.

"A lost text from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, 'Great Sun Sword-Seeding and Sword-Refining Method,' a Daoist-level technique from outside the realm."

At the dining table, a family of three was eating, and Hua Bing asked curiously.

Jiang Ding instinctively continued to expand, suffering damage, then being repaired; the speed was more than ten times faster than the step-by-step waiting from before. "Is this a spirit elixir above the Mortal Tier?"

Although the alchemist at that alchemy workshop had never even heard of White Origin Liquid, after pulling the formula from the Immortal Sect library and pondering it slightly, they could easily refine it.

Jiang Ding grew interested, drew his sword, and began to dance; a regular arc of light appeared, followed by sword shadows emerging, filling the entire courtyard space, then disappearing one by one, with the talisman sword shuttling happily among these sword shadows.

"In the past, when the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was at its peak, it controlled forty-two minor thousand worlds with breeding populations and endless people; even with such a base, only nine candidate Daoists could be selected every ten thousand years, and in the end, only one succeeded."

"So, I want you not to associate deeply with him; this kind of person is a hidden danger, and you never know what he might attack. Yet, it's not illegal for him to practice obscure techniques, and there's no good way to deal with it."

Her spiritual sense naturally saw the scene during the day very clearly, but she didn't speak of it for the sake of the other party's privacy; Wu Tianli was likely the same.

For these ten days, Jiang Ding had been cautious in his words and actions, never leaving the house, constantly monitoring the drone footage, and leaving immediately every time he waited for Long San to deliver the Blue Fluorescence Butterflies; he even let Huang Deyou handle the shop's business himself whenever he wanted to report.

They could easily slash away arrows, but the talisman sword was not as rigid as an arrow.

Mother Hua was also a Qi Condensation cultivator; hearing this term, she was startled and warned, "You must not practice this harmful thing. The increase in control distance and strength for magic tools provided by the Blood Refining Method is useless to us Immortal Sect cultivators."

This was his first time taking the Ginseng Essence Qi-Refining Spirit Elixir while not in a state of severe injury, and he immediately felt the difference; the remodeling capacity of his meridians seemed to have become much stronger.

"You can learn about it in the Immortal Sect library; any technique that can increase aptitude is very famous."

Eating with family every day was relatively rare for Foundation Establishment cultivators; Foundation Establishment cultivators would cultivate for ten days or months at a time, and their schedules were completely different from ordinary people.

She opened her bright, sparkling eyes.

At this moment, he took out another jade bottle, poured out some white jade liquid, and evenly covered the golden-red talisman sword.

A slight stinging pain—this was the damage suffered by the meridians during the expansion process, which had to be carefully repaired with internal power, repeating this over and over.

Once Long San escorted the Blue Fluorescence Butterflies back, he would immediately return to the Immortal Sect.

"It shows he is very ambitious, even crazy; it's best not to associate deeply." He swallowed the last bite of his meal in a leisurely manner.

"It can forge a supreme foundation, but its refining materials are impossible to obtain; even if secondary materials are obtained, one would die from qi deviation because the technique is too difficult."

"Go!"

Hua Zhengtian felt greatly relieved.

Ten days later.

Effective control distance reached fifty meters.

Jiang Ding tapped lightly at a piece of miscellaneous wood more than ten meters away.

Three days ago, Lin Wanqiu and Jiang Yuan almost tied him up and sent him to the hospital; it took a great deal of effort to calm them down, after making countless promises and producing the proof of the cultivation room, did he barely pass.

He then poured internal power into the sword body; the White Jade Liquid immediately boiled, and wisps of gentle spiritual power were absorbed by the blade, with the talisman sword transmitting waves of comfortable sensations, and his connection with it growing stronger by another fraction. Hua Bing was stunned, unable to connect the words "crazy" and "ambition" with that delicate, refined youth.

"Maximum attack distance fifty meters, effective attack distance thirty meters..."

Swish! The talisman sword flashed, cutting through the air, slicing the tip of the miscellaneous wood into two pieces with a smooth edge, then turning back to its original place, lying quietly on his knees.

He closed his eyes to regulate his breathing; the dantian vortex rotated, and internal power surged between the Twelve Standard Meridians, then penetrated bit by bit into each tiny branch, nourishing and tempering them.

Three days passed, and the damage caused by the depletion of essence and blood had initially recovered; now he could barely temper ten or so tiny meridians every day, and it would likely take another ten days or so to fully recover.

Hua Bing said with dissatisfaction, really thinking she was a child who knew nothing.

It was just that the array pattern structure was still quite fragile and had to be covered with internal power at all times to prevent any loss.

Ten days passed, and the essence and blood had completely fused with the complex array patterns, capable of autonomously continuing to draw heaven and earth spiritual energy and Great Sun essence from the Tier 1 Great Sun Spirit-Gathering Array to maintain its existence and grow stronger, and it could now touch the air.

Immediately, a warm and continuous stream of spiritual power spread from his abdomen, his entire body became warm, and even his meridians became much softer.

All kinds of alchemy techniques were of the same system and the same standard; there was no difficulty in understanding them at all.

Jiang Ding was startled.

He dared not be slow, immediately operating the internal power of the "Young Eagle Takes Flight Sword Art" with static meditation, letting it expand into the tiny branch meridians that had never been tempered after filling the large and small meridians of the Twelve Standard Meridians.

Jiang Ding tested it many times and pondered, "Continue to nourish and temper, it can continue to grow, but at most a hundred paces, a hundred meters; this should be some kind of limit."

"Many people covet the effect and try to refine a 'monkey version of a monkey version'; its materials can be obtained by Foundation Establishment cultivators, but almost everyone failed due to qi deviation; it's too difficult, and some even became mentally deranged and caused a bloody case."

These past few days had been like this; he felt very insecure in his weakened state, and if the Blue Fluorescence Butterflies weren't so important, he wouldn't even want to come over during these times.

"Hmm?"

"Got it!"

"Hundred-Pace Flying Sword?"

However, at this moment, a gentle spiritual power spontaneously surged up, repairing the damage to his meridians.

The speed increased again, already capable of posing a serious threat to martial artists at the Great Accomplishment stage of Internal Qi, and martial artists at the Perfection stage of Internal Qi also had to be careful to deal with it.

This was White Origin Liquid, which Jiang Ding had entrusted to an alchemy workshop online using decades-old medicinal herbs sent by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce; it could promote the growth of the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword several times over.

After a round of practice, his internal power was largely consumed, and Jiang Ding took a Ginseng Essence Qi-Refining Spirit Elixir.

Swish, swish, swish! In the sky, a talisman sword moved back and forth; many withered yellow leaves were cut in half before they could even hit the ground, countless leaf fragments flew everywhere, and not a single complete leaf could successfully land.

"Dad, you say, why would someone who can steadily get into the Daoist Department of Qianling University practice the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword?"

Hua Bing said solemnly, and the trace of curiosity about Jiang Ding disappeared.

"Steadily getting into the Daoist Department of Qianling University, hmm, that's also a talent, yet practicing the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword..." Hua Zhengtian picked up a vegetable leaf and pondered for a long time.

"Finally finished recuperating..."

Half an hour later, Jiang Ding finished nourishing the talisman sword, placed it in the sunlight, input enough internal power, and let the Tier 1 Great Sun Spirit-Gathering Array within it spontaneously operate to gather Great Sun essence and spiritual energy to temper the sword body.

"Why?"

"Dad, you say why?"

"I understand."

!.

Jiang Ding was shocked in his heart: "Then, wouldn't those children of large families who can provide a steady stream of spirit elixirs all be geniuses?"

As his thoughts turned slightly, he denied this speculation.

Having spirit elixirs in hand would certainly be much faster, but to reach his efficiency, it would only be possible if the "Young Eagle Takes Flight Sword Art" technique reached Great Accomplishment.

He immediately stopped thinking about it and threw himself into the uninterrupted nourishing and tempering of his tiny meridians.
