Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing was first stunned, then hurriedly smiled and said: "Qin Shixiong, what are you saying? If Junior Brother can be of any help, I will certainly do my utmost."

Those words were pleasant to hear; Qin Baili smiled upon hearing them, then continued: "You should know, I am a Core Disciple of Jin Gang Peak.

It just so happens that a Senior Uncle needs someone to tend to spiritual plants, and it must be a Water Wood Dual Spirit Root. If you have time, let's make a trip tomorrow."

Xu Zhangqing did not agree immediately, but glanced at Li Lingbi. Seeing the other party nod slightly, he then grinned: "No problem."

Qin Baili nodded slightly, then set a time: "Good, I'll come find you tomorrow."

Xu Zhangqing originally thought everyone would leave, but unexpectedly Qiu Su suddenly came to his front, eyes smiling, and called out: "Junior Brother Xu!"

Xu Zhangqing let out an "ah", looking at the other party doubtfully.

Qiu Su then continued: "I want to purchase some Top-grade Spirit Rice from you, and also the Spirit Rice Wine I just drank."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Senior Sister, saying this makes it sound distant. Given your relationship with Senior Brother Lingbi and Qin Shixiong, a mere bit of Top-grade Spirit Rice and Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine — why would you need to buy them?"

He waved his hand broadly, directly giving out 50 jin of Top-grade Spirit Rice, 5 jin of Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

The people behind saw this; Chu Qiu and Li Sancai were quite calm, obviously used to it.

Only Han Xin, upon seeing it, revealed in her eyes a strong longing for the Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

She hadn't come in a long time.

The Spirit Rice Wine had long since been drunk dry.

Fortunately Han Xin wasn't stupid; knowing Qin Baili and Qiu Su were here, she therefore didn't act recklessly.

Qiu Su looked at the Top-grade Spirit Rice and Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine gifted by the other party, couldn't help blinking: "What I meant was, I want to purchase from you long-term."

Xu Zhangqing realized, then explained: "If it's a large amount purchase, that needs to be discussed with Senior Brother Lingbi. After all, most of my Top-grade Spirit Rice must be supplied to him first.

If it's a small amount purchase, that's no problem."

Qiu Su understood, but didn't communicate with Li Lingbi, instead temporarily suppressing her inner longing for Top-grade Spirit Rice, then walked toward Qin Baili.

It's too late; let's talk tomorrow.

Finally, Qin Baili and company drove sword lights and departed.

Only then did Xu Zhangqing breathe a sigh of relief: "Interacting with these Golden Core Stage cultivators really has a bit of pressure, afraid of offending somewhere, or secrets leaking out."

Afterward, he closed the Stone House's Door.

Then he mobilized the Water Spirit Power in his Qi Sea, outlined a Cleaning Talisman out of thin air, cleaned all the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then headed to the Second Floor.

However he didn't rest, but continued researching the Golden Blade Technique.

This time Sword Nest No. 1's power wasn't exerted to the utmost; the main reason was that Metal Attribute spells hadn't been learned yet.

……

……

In a flash, the second day arrived.

Morning Si hour.

That is, around nine o'clock.

Xu Zhangqing, who had researched all night, finally had a spiritual sense, and immediately looked at the Attribute Panel.

Golden Blade Technique: Earth Layer 1

Effect 1: Condense a golden light blade one chi long and one finger wide using Metal Spiritual Power

It doesn't look very powerful, even a bit ordinary.

Whether to consume 8 years of lifespan to repair the Golden Blade Technique to completeness?

"Yes."

In an instant, Xu Zhangqing entered an enlightenment state.

Various experiences and techniques regarding the Golden Blade Technique emerged one after another.

However, because the time consumed wasn't much, the duration wasn't long either.

After exiting the enlightenment state, the Attribute Panel changed again.

Golden Blade Technique: Earth Layer 1

Effect 1: Condense a golden light blade one zhang long and one chi wide using Metal Spiritual Power

Effect 2: Light blade damage against mundane iron and Low-grade Spirit Weapons increased by 30%

Xu Zhangqing saw it in his eyes: "Not bad."

Whether to consume 3 years of lifespan to upgrade the Golden Blade Technique to max level?

"Yes."

This enlightenment time was but a single breath.

Remaining Lifespan: 697 years

Golden Blade Technique: 3 layers

Effect 1: Simultaneously condense 3 golden light blades, variable in size, using Metal Spiritual Power

Effect 2: Golden blades cause Low-grade Spirit Weapon defense to temporarily drop 40%, High-grade Spirit Weapon temporarily drop 20%

Effect 3: Light blade striking target produces vibration, causing tearing wounds on flesh and blood

Effect 4: Golden blades split into thirty-six fine-as-hair golden rays, causing area damage

Special Effect 1: Cutting power increases damage to Spirit Weapons by 40%, to Spiritual Shields by 30%, to flesh and blood by 20%, ignores 10% of defense strength

After reading through all the effects, Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "No wonder they say Metal Spirit Roots have the greatest combat power—even a random high-rank spell is this unreasonable?"

Fortunately... I'm also a Metal Spirit Root!"

Immediately, his figure flickered, and he instantly entered his Personal Space.

At the same time, Sword Nest Number One appeared in his hand again.

However, at the start, Xu Zhangqing planned to first test the power of the Golden Blade Technique.

Therefore he activated the Luo Jin Jue, stirring the Metal Spiritual Power in his Qi Sea, then shook his right palm, instantly condensing three golden blades as thick as his fingers.

With a thought, they floated up, then grew larger and larger.

From one chi long and one cun wide, they quickly reached one zhang long and one chi wide.

His current limit: three golden blades can reach five zhang and six chi, equivalent to sixteen meters long and nearly two meters wide.

Although he hadn't tested their power yet, just looking at them was intimidating.

Five-zhang golden blades hovered, their edges flashing with dazzling golden light, the serrated edges wriggling like living things, the surrounding air torn apart, emitting a "hiss-hiss" sound of breaking air.

When Xu Zhangqing withdrew the other two golden blades, leaving only one, its length and width changed again, from five zhang six chi to eight zhang and nine chi.

In terms of power, momentum, and visual impact, they became even more intense.

Xu Zhangqing waved the thick, large, long golden blades as easily as moving his own arms and fingers, like a giant kitchen knife chopping melons and vegetables in the air, looking terrifying beyond compare.

"Interesting!"

"Feels like I won't need a kitchen knife anymore?"

"Let's try splitting the golden light!"

Xu Zhangqing was playing with them when suddenly his heart stirred, and he increased his Metal Spiritual Power output.

In an instant, the huge golden blade before him, like peeling silk from a cocoon, split apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally reaching as many as thirty-six.

Dense golden lights crisscrossed vertically and horizontally in the air, forming a great net containing cutting power, constantly emitting a "chi-chi-chi" cutting sound; just hearing it made one's scalp go numb.

But one word: Metal attribute spells, though powerful, also consume greatly.

If it were just a Metal Spirit Root, even reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection in the Cultivation Realm, without taking pills or any special effect bonuses, they could persist at most for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

If it were an Earth-born Gold Dual Spirit Root, the time could double.

Next, it was finally time for the main event.

Xu Zhangqing empowered the Sword Nest Number One with the Golden Blade Technique.

Boom!

Sword Nest Number One trembled violently, thirty-six nail-sized Sword Pills poured out of the nest, directly stirring up a visible golden air wave.

Each Sword Pill was wrapped in spiral golden light, moving at extreme speed, emitting a sharp "zi-zi" whistle from air friction, with a half-chi-long Golden Flame trailing behind.

Speed became even faster; originally one hundred zhang per breath, now it covered one hundred zhang in half a breath, and one breath reached an astonishing two hundred zhang; the naked eye could only see afterimages where the golden light had not yet faded.

The moment thirty-six Sword Pills spread out in the air, they interwove into a cutting light net covering over one hundred zhang; the translucent golden blades suddenly brightened, emitting a "clang-clang" sound of metal striking metal upon collision.

Wherever they reached, even light was cut into pieces by the golden light!
