Chapter 75

Intuition told them that eating more would cause trouble.

Simply put, they could only put down their chopsticks and look at the fierce beast meat with nostalgia.

But the food that had already entered their stomachs was silently transforming their bodies.

It was estimated that in a short time, they would be able to perceive that their strength had greatly increased.

Relatively speaking, Keqing and the others didn't eat much either; after eating all the fierce beast meat on the table.

Ningguang and Keqing, the two weakest in strength, had the biggest reaction; roughly estimated, their True Essence increased by one-thousandth.

However, even one-thousandth is not something to be underestimated.

This one-thousandth is comparable to the elemental energy accumulated by some Vision holders who had just obtained their Visions.

That is to say, intuition told them not to continue eating, otherwise they wouldn't have stopped.

The feeling of cultivation was indescribably wonderful.

Wiping her mouth, Keqing looked at Jiang Yan and asked suspiciously:

"Sect Master, when the disciple manipulated the Qingshuang Sword just now, although I felt like I was one with the Qingshuang Sword, I always felt there was some estrangement."

"Why is this?"

Jiang Yan smiled:

"Normal; after all, the Qingshuang Sword only followed you voluntarily because it considered your physique."

"You haven't truly refined it yet; it's normal to have estrangement."

Refining?

Zhongli was stunned for a moment and looked at the Vortex Vanquisher floating beside him in surprise.

Why didn't he feel any estrangement?

"Peak Master Zhongli, you naturally don't need to worry."

Jiang Yan said warmly:

"You have the experience of fighting side by side with the Vortex Vanquisher for thousands of years; one person and one spear have long been inseparable."

"Even if the Vortex Vanquisher turns into a spirit artifact, your imprint has long been carved over thousands of years; this will not be worn away."

"The Vortex Vanquisher doesn't need you to refine it; from the moment it evolved into a spirit artifact, it was born for you."

"The Vortex Vanquisher is already your natal magic treasure; in the future, you can also learn weapon refining to make the Vortex Vanquisher continue to become stronger."

"As for you, Keqing..."

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said softly:

"You need to drip blood to recognize the master and carve your divine sense into the Qingshuang Sword."

"In this way, the Qingshuang Sword becomes a magic treasure exclusive to you."

Keqing was somewhat surprised.

"Drip blood to recognize the master."

"Exactly."

Jiang Yan nodded.

"Generally speaking, refining magic treasures requires dripping blood to recognize the master, and magic treasures have spirituality; if you cannot subdue them, you must suppress them before dripping blood to recognize the master."

"In this way, the magic treasure truly belongs to you."

"Keqing's situation is ultimately a minority; in the end, the Qingshuang Sword likes Keqing's sword body."

Ningguang and the others suddenly realized.

Keqing was also somewhat excited and summoned the Qingshuang Sword in front of her.

"Qingshuang, are you willing to truly recognize me as your master and fight with me from now on?"

The Qingshuang Sword suddenly erupted with brilliant sword light, which was even somewhat dazzling.

Keqing smiled, no longer hesitating, and with a flick of her fingers, bright red blood dripped onto the Qingshuang.

The next moment, that sense of estrangement in the dark disappeared without a trace.

Now, Keqing felt that no matter where she was, as long as she had a thought, the Qingshuang Sword could rush to fight with her.

She and the Qingshuang Sword truly had an inseparable relationship.

And the Qingshuang Sword also circled around Keqing more and more affectionately.

Like a little pet, it was quite cute.

Keqing felt that raising a cat or a dog was not as good as raising a sword.

At least the Qingshuang Sword wouldn't shed hair and could accompany her in battle.

Gently brushing the body of the Qingshuang Sword, Keqing was full of satisfaction.

This time entering Shushan, I'm afraid that apart from Zhongli, she gained the most.

Ningguang and the others were also somewhat envious that Keqing had her own exclusive magic treasure.

However, the Sword Forest was at their feet.

Now that they had become true cultivators, it was not impossible for them to have their own magic treasures.

At worst, aren't there secret realms?

In the secret realms, there are spirit artifacts.

Thinking of this, Ningguang and the others were full of fighting spirit.

54. Going to the Scripture Pavilion to pick techniques

The banquet ended, and the Millelith naturally took over the work of cleaning up.

Jiang Yan also made the final arrangements.

"There is nothing to do today; tomorrow morning, I will still hold the morning class on Jueyun Karst."

"Everyone, keep the sound of the golden bell in mind and don't miss the time when the purple energy comes from the east."

"After the morning class, I will officially begin your first lecture; don't miss it."

"The next lecture will be next week."

"If you want to return to Liyue Harbor, you can teleport through the token; remember to bring your flying sword, it's much more convenient to come and go."

"As for those who want to stay, each peak has prepared cultivation dojos and cave dwellings for disciples."

"They are basically on the mountainside, and you will find them as soon as you look."

"The Scripture Pavilion and the secret realm have already been opened; you can go once this week, but it's best not to explore the secret realm now."

"At the very least, learn some immortal cultivation methods before going."

"Besides that, if you want to discuss the Dao and compete, there are also competition platforms on each peak, which you can organize yourselves."

"However, remember to be restrained."

"If there is anything urgent, contact me through the token, but I also need to cultivate; for some trivial matters, handle them yourselves."

"Or, notify Peak Master Zhongli."

"Any other questions?"

Everyone shook their heads; seeing this, Jiang Yan stood up and waved his hand, restoring the square in front of the sect's main hall to its original state.

His ink-colored Daoist robe fluttered, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

Behind him hovered the Primordial Jade Cutter, which was truly elegant.

"Since that's the case, then everyone disperse."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and turned to walk toward the sect's main hall.

Ningguang and the others stood up and bowed:

"Farewell, Sect Master!"

After the main hall gate closed, only Zhongli and the others remained on the top of Tongtian Peak.

It was quite cold.

If it weren't for the white cranes flying by from time to time, it would be somewhat dead and silent.

Liuyun thought for a moment and said softly:

"Emperor..."

However, before she could finish, Zhongli raised his hand and said:

"Since you have entered Shushan, you should act according to Shushan's sect rules; in Shushan, call me Peak Master."

Liuyun scratched her cheek in confusion and asked curiously:

"What about outside Shushan?"
