Chapter 25: Jade Knives, Mandarin Duck Axes

~8 min read 1,525 words

The outer city has spiritual energy.

Whether it is naturally filled between heaven and earth, or overflowing from the million mountains of the Eastern Wilderness, or scattered from the inner city, there is more or less spiritual energy.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many loose cultivators gathering from all over the place.

But the concentration of that kind of spiritual energy was only enough for people to practice barely.

Really barely; Luo Chen’s cultivation progress bar would only move a little bit every half a month when he practiced bitterly before.

In other words, if he wanted to fill the 100-point progress bar of the third layer of Qi Refining, it would take a full four or five years.

And he couldn't use spiritual power randomly in the middle, ensuring that every time he practiced, there was a gain.

And in fact, the original owner did indeed endure for more than three years, and his cultivation did not make any progress.

Of course, there was also the reason for being troubled by livelihood and not having enough cultivation time.

It was only after Luo Chen transmigrated that he relied on the proficiency panel to grind the Changchun Technique proficiency to the proficient level, which gradually improved that situation.

Even in this situation, he had been stuck at the progress bar of seventy-something for a long time.

Finally, Luo Chen relied on a bottle of Qi-Nurturing Pills and the perfect-level Changchun Technique to barely break through to the fourth layer.

But if he had been practicing in the inner city at that time.

This time could have been shortened by at least one-third!

"This is the charm of a spiritual vein!"

"And this is just a first-order spiritual vein!"

"It’s hard to imagine how fast the cultivation speed of sect disciples in second-order and third-order spiritual veins will be!"

Luo Chen let out three sighs in a row, showing his restless mood.

If he were in those places, could he fill the ninth layer of Qi Refining before his lifespan ended?

Luo Chen didn't know; he only knew that his life was already much better than before.

Next, he must strive to live in the inner city for a long time; this is the real place for cultivation.

Instead of that turbid place in the outer city mixed with soil and shit, with blood and gore from time to time.

However, this kind of sighing stopped when midnight arrived, and Luo Chen was frozen stupid.

"Why is it so cold?"

"Even my physique at the fourth layer of Qi Refining can’t hold up."

"Must buy a quilt tomorrow!"

No, it was so cold he couldn't sleep at all.

Luo Chen climbed off the bed and decided to find something to do.

Processing herbs wouldn't work; he lacked tools and some ingredients.

Luo Chen took out the set of Jade Knives and tried to inject spiritual power.

Buzz...

A crisp buzzing sound rang out, but the seven flying knives didn't move at all.

"Where did the problem go?"

He thought about it, injected spiritual power into them one by one, and it wasn't until he injected spiritual power into the wooden knife with the largest volume that the seven knives bloomed with emerald light together.

"So the child blades are controlled by the mother blade."

After understanding this truth, Luo Chen played with it even more enthusiastically.

Under his control, the seven flying knives flew slowly around him like floating cannons.

"Go!"

Luo Chen pointed at the ground in the corner of the wall, and a child blade suddenly flew out.

Like an arrow, the child blade made a buzzing sound and whistled into the ground.

The speed was fast, and the power was okay.

The blue brick ground was like tofu, and it was pierced through.

And this was just one child blade; what if all seven blades were fired together?

What if the seven blades formed a formation that could attack and defend?

Luo Chen was very interested, and then awkwardly ran to the corner of the wall to pull out the small wooden knife.

"Must buy a Traction Technique book; this money cannot be saved!"

Yes, he hadn't learned the Traction Technique yet, so magic power could only go straight.

That was the kind of fighting style of "I only care about strength, you are responsible for miracles."

The Soul-Breaking Nail was fine; it was no return by nature.

But this set of Jade Knives was about advancing and retreating freely, like a forest of trees.

Without the cooperation of the Traction Technique, it was too wasteful of this set of magic tools.

After playing with the Jade Knives for a while, Luo Chen reluctantly put them into the storage bag.

Theoretically, the Traction Technique was actually a method of flexible application of spiritual power; if one was familiar enough with spiritual power, even without this spell, one could freely control various magic tools.

But obviously, Luo Chen didn't have this proficiency, nor did he have that comprehension.

Or rather, the vast majority of low-grade cultivators couldn't reach that level.

Spiritual power itself was not much, so where would there be a chance to be familiar with it?

Therefore, there was the pioneering work of high-level cultivators creating the Traction Technique for low-grade cultivators.

Not playing with the Jade Knives anymore, Luo Chen had other things to kill time.

Light-body technique and reading!

It just happened that the room hadn't been furnished with furniture, and the space was large enough.

Carefree Travel wasn't just a light-body technique that pursued speed; when practiced to a deep level, it paid more attention to being carefree and composed.

Luo Chen tumbled and moved in the room, either on the roof or on the ground, every time trying to restrain his strength.

Don't mention it, compared to the bold and unrestrained running before, there was another kind of experience.

Holding that "Records of Customs in Six Regions," Luo Chen had only read half of it.

He knew the most about Yuding Sword Sect and Hehuan Sect before.

After all, one was the local upper sect, and the other was a sect with more romantic anecdotes.

"Tianfan City’s Six Great Assassins, Mandarin Duck Axes Mu Qingcheng, a rare female powerhouse among Golden Core cultivators, two mother-child Mandarin Duck Axes, have the power of reversing heaven and earth, breaking yin and yang."

Luo Chen looked at it with amazement.

Among the six great upper sects of the Far East, one sect was famous for casting tools, and that was Tianfan City.

Dahe Market’s Wanbao Pavilion was an industry of Tianfan City.

This sect was extremely good at casting tools; besides common magic tools, they especially liked to cast various strange weapons.

After so many years, they had actually cast six powerful strange magic treasures.

Tianfan City bestowed them to the six great Golden Core cultivators, and after many years, they had made a resounding reputation.

Just like the Mandarin Duck Axes Mu Qingcheng he was reading now, she built her foundation in ten years, formed her core in a hundred years, and although she hadn't participated in the opening war, she had now made a resounding reputation among Golden Core cultivators.

Relying on the magic treasure of the Mandarin Duck Axes, she had opened up the situation for Tianfan City’s industry in the territory outside the six regions of the Far East.

After reading the deeds of this female cultivator, besides sighing at the other party’s strength, Luo Chen only got one realization.

"So Golden Core stage big shots also have to risk their lives to earn spirit stones!"

The things he was doing now were actually no different from them.

In other words, I am equal to a Golden Core stage big shot!

Zhi!

The layout of this one-entry courtyard was very traditional; the gate and the inverted room were adjacent.

Therefore, when Luo Chen woke up early in the morning, preparing to go out to purchase, he happened to run into the Caiyi girl who was returning from work.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, woo..." Caiyi yawned, her slender waist eye-catching.

"Returning so late?"

Caiyi said helplessly, "The business at Tianxiang Tower has been excessively good recently, so those of us who dance and sing naturally have to suffer."

Excessively good?

Hasn't the business at Tianxiang Tower always been very good?

Looking at Luo Chen who was preparing to go out, Caiyi asked curiously, "Are you going out? By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what do you do, to have spirit stones to live in the inner city at the fourth layer of Qi Refining."

"Alchemy, usually setting up a stall at the loose cultivator market in the south of the city. If you have anything you want to buy, I can help you bring it back." Luo Chen said.

"Alchemist!"

Caiyi’s sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Her neighbor was actually so powerful.

"Talk later, I’m busy today."

Luo Chen waved his hand and left in a hurry.

Caiyi girl leaned against the door, looking at Luo Chen’s back, not knowing what she was thinking. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
