Chapter 514 - 269: Body Refining Tier Two
Several months later.
On Celestial Spring Peak, Lin Chang’an gazed towards the direction of the Long Family, as if sensing something.
"It’s about to start!"
The commotion from the eruption of mana from Core Formation cultivators was not from just one or two.
On Five Dragons Island, some bold opportunists eagerly looked towards the Long Family’s direction.
Meanwhile, some cultivators and families who only wished for stable cultivation were filled with worry.
"Master, it is the direction of the Long Family where the Core Formation cultivators’ battle has erupted."
The Sword Servant, pouring tea beside him, respectfully spoke of recent events.
After listening, Lin Chang’an nodded slightly. Unfortunately, after retrieving his treasure, he had no interest in the current turmoil and benefits.
"Pay no mind to the outside disturbances, focus on cultivation for now, and we’ll talk when things calm down."
Lin Chang’an lightly shook his head, then gently sipped the Spirit Tea, giving the Sword Servant a rare second glance, nodding with satisfaction:
"This Tier Two Dharma Robe suits the identity of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Although the style of the attire hadn’t changed much, the quality was evidently different from before.
Hearing this, the Sword Servant blushed slightly, but still bowed her head respectfully and replied: "This is all thanks to Master’s grace."
Lin Chang’an chuckled and waved his hand, indeed having a considerate and meticulous subordinate was reassuring.
If she were ordinary, she could be tasked with managing the cave residence.
It’s a pity that this girl’s talent is too good, she has far more potential than just being used for managing a cave residence.
"Sit down, extend your hand; I’m very interested in your bloodline. From these ancient books, it is discovered that the Human-Demon bloodline, though a shackle, is also an opportunity."
His words were not false, for cultivators with Human-Demon mixed blood who could reach Core Formation or Nascent Soul Realm often awakened some unique divine techniques.
However, they were just extremely rare.
Yet, when the Sword Servant heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you, Master!"
The next moment, the Sword Servant respectfully sat down on the stone stool, but being cautious, she only sat at the edge, constantly mindful of her status.
Lin Chang’an did not find anything wrong with this, instead, a hint of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.
Previously, he had tested her temperament in various ways, such as giving her the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique and other benedictions in advance.
If her heart was unstable and she became presumptuous prematurely, he wouldn’t mind teaching her a good lesson to bring her back to reality.
However, now he was very pleased, as whether in front of him or behind his back, she showed no signs of arrogance.
The Sword Servant extended her slender wrist, and as Lin Chang’an’s fingers touched it, gentle strands of Wood Attribute Mana were infused, observing the situation within her body.
"This Evil Energy is indeed troublesome."
Lin Chang’an frowned, and under the Sword Servant’s perception, with the gentle mana entering her body, her face turned red.
This blush was from the first sensation of her body’s mana changes, revealing a trace of delight in her eyes.
This was unlike the time at the black market, where Lin Chang’an had only used a sliver of weak mana, so she hadn’t even noticed it herself.
"Master!"
"Speak."
The Sword Servant, struggling to contain her excitement, spoke with a trembling voice:
"Master, at this moment, the two entangled forces within me seem to have calmed down, and I feel as though I’ve reverted to the state of cultivation before my bloodline awakened."
Yet the next moment, as the gentle mana within her gradually weakened, the two forces within her tangled up once again.
This gave her once more the feeling of falling from a mountaintop.
Just when she was feeling disappointed, Lin Chang’an calmly said: "Operate the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique and feel it with your heart."
The shackle of the Human-Demon mixed blood, if he could easily resolve it, would indeed be unprecedented.
If word got out, it would surely draw unwanted attention.
Even if there were restrictions within the Sword Servant’s body, it wouldn’t suffice.
It was out of caution, and also because things obtained too easily are often not treasured.
Instead, those lost and regained through personal effort are cherished and also serve to temper one’s mind.
After all, he needed a Core Formation Celestial Spirit Sword Body, not just a subordinate at Foundation Establishment.
As the two of them initially operated the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique, a rare trace of interest flashed in Lin Chang’an’s eyes.
The other side actually opened up defenses without reservation, allowing such smooth progress.
However, Lin Chang’an wondered if it might also stem from a resigned, "breaking the pot when it’s already cracked" attitude.
Several hours later.
In the pavilion, the Sword Servant was drenched in a layer of sweat, but her complexion was flushed, with a hint of joy in her demeanor.
The authentic Dual Cultivation Secret Technique naturally derived more benefit for cultivators with lower cultivation.
However, this top-level Celestial Spirit Sword Body, even for Lin Chang’an, a Core Formation cultivator, left him quite speechless.
He could even sense a gentle feeling of Sword Intent within him, despite its minimal effect, it was almost negligible due to his Self-Healing Body.
But it also proved the effects of a top-level spirit body in a roundabout way.
After finishing their practice, Lin Chang’an’s expression remained calm as he said:
"It seems this Secret Technique has some effect, but you must understand that the struggle for the Great Dao lies in the smallest details."
With an indifferent tone, Lin Chang’an left a remark about entering closed-door cultivation, then rose and walked towards his cave residence.
"Thank you, Master!"
A voice filled with excitement came from behind the Sword Servant, as Lin Chang’an’s lips curled into a smile, for she now knew to cherish such hard-earned cultivation opportunities.
"The struggle for the Great Dao lies in the smallest details!"
And within the pavilion, the Sword Servant murmured to herself with these words.
At this moment, she understood that this was her opportunity, and she must not waste any chance for cultivation.
