Chapter 262: Ten Thousand Sword Manual, Minor Accomplishment!

Ten Thousand Sword Manual!

Wang Ping'an's eyes lit up when he saw the title on the flyleaf of the hide-bound book; he never imagined the hide-bound book was a sword cultivator's book, though thinking of the Netherworld Organization assassins' situation.

He himself was a sword cultivator; although his cultivation in the sword path was ordinary, being able to join the Netherworld Organization as an assassin, even if just a lowly one, still somewhat indicated the other party's prowess.

How could a formidable sword cultivator possibly lack one or two formidable sword cultivator skills as trump cards?

I just don't know whether this Ten Thousand Sword Manual is a sword cultivator's cultivation method or sword technique, but either way it can be considered a good thing.

Sword cultivator's books, whether cultivation methods or displayed sword techniques, are first-rate formidable skills.

Moreover, this Ten Thousand Sword Manual is not recorded on jade slips but in a hide-bound book, showing it is far from ordinary.

Only those widely circulated spells and cultivation methods are made into jade slips for sale!

Wang Ping'an suppressed his excitement, eagerly flipping through the hide-bound Ten Thousand Sword Manual, watching the text and vivid illustrations inside, his eyes sparkling, his face full of excitement.

"Ding! You have carefully studied the cultivation method of the Ten Thousand Sword Manual; congratulations on obtaining the reward: Technique: Ten Thousand Sword Manual 【Entry Level】!"

After a long while, Wang Ping'an thoroughly finished studying the hide-bound Ten Thousand Sword Manual; just as he closed the book, a mechanical, cold voice immediately sounded in his mind.

"I never expected it to be a cultivation method; I don't know if raising the proficiency of this Ten Thousand Sword Manual to Minor Accomplishment will, like the Purple Qi Classic and Moon Worship Classic, form an artificial dantian inside the body!"

Wang Ping'an suppressed the joy of obtaining a new cultivation method, and moreover a sword cultivator's cultivation method, when an unbidden thought arose in his mind, growing more curious as he pondered, he mused:

"Why not give it a try?"

Although not long ago he had successively upgraded the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, its formation diagram, and the method for refining its formation base all to Minor Accomplishment.

But through daily accumulation he had amassed a great amount of merit; the remaining merit at this moment was sufficient to raise this Ten Thousand Sword Manual to Minor Accomplishment.

There was still some left!

Wang Ping'an was not the hesitant type; moreover, earning merit for him was quite simple, with no hesitation at all.

With a thought, Wang Ping'an summoned the system panel, looking at a string of dazzling numbers, his face and eyes full of pride.

He had only been in this world a short time, yet already possessed so many talents, skills, and techniques...

If given a bit more time, he believes he can become the next Ten Li Slope Sword God.

Wang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something pleasant, he hehe-laughed, only after a long while did he regain his senses, his gaze settling on the newly appeared technique column's "Ten Thousand Sword Manual", watching the flashing golden "+" sign beside it.

He casually tapped it!

"Ding! You spent ten points of merit to upgrade the technique: Ten Thousand Sword Manual, Entry → Proficient!"

"Ding! You spent one hundred points of merit to upgrade the technique: Ten Thousand Sword Manual, Proficient → Mastery!"

"Ding! You spent one thousand points of merit to upgrade the technique: Ten Thousand Sword Manual, Mastery → Minor Accomplishment!"

Wang Ping'an quickly tapped the "+" sign after "Technique: Ten Thousand Sword Manual" several times; immediately in his mind sounded one mechanical, cold voice after another, until the "+" after the technique dimmed and no longer sparkled.

Knowing that the "Technique: Ten Thousand Sword Manual" had been upgraded to Minor Accomplishment, with no surplus merit, he continued to raise its proficiency level.

Wang Ping'an took a deep breath, heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, waited for his mind to clear, then for the first time attempted to cultivate the Ten Thousand Sword Manual, wanting to know what differed about the Minor Accomplishment version of the Ten Thousand Sword Manual. Wang Family Courtyard.

Xuanqing Daozhang was busy, preparing to set up an advanced magic formation at the Wang Family, named the Spirit Tortoise Formation, a defensive magic formation, which was among the few advanced defensive magic formations he knew.

This was his first time setting it up!

Even the defensive formation in his Daoist temple was merely an intermediate magic formation; it wasn't that he didn't want to set up this advanced Spirit Tortoise Formation in his temple, but the materials required for the Spirit Tortoise Formation were very expensive.

Moreover, the difficulty of setting up an advanced magic formation was ten to twenty times that of an intermediate one.

Previously, even if the Spirit Tortoise Formation's materials were fully prepared, he lacked confidence to successfully set it up; now that his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, he finally had the confidence to attempt setting up the Spirit Tortoise Formation.

However.

Since it was his first time laying the formation, and its difficulty was ten to twenty times that of an intermediate formation, he had been especially careful and cautious from the start.

He feared making a mistake that would cause the Spirit Tortoise Formation setup to fail!

Xuanqing Daozhang had just completed a step, wiped the sweat from his forehead, prepared to rest, waiting for his stamina—actually, the most consumed was his spirit power—until spirit power and stamina recovered before continuing the setup.

Suddenly he noticed a heaven-earth phenomenon…

No.

This novel you have reached

Saying the heaven-earth phenomenon was a bit excessive; it was merely an abnormality in the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi.

He didn't even need to use his Dharma Eye; with just his naked eye he could clearly see the spiritual qi wandering between heaven and earth, as if sensing some mysterious summons, swarming from all directions toward one spot.

If he hadn't misremembered…

Xuanqing Daozhang suppressed his inner agitation, not bothering to continue setting up the Spirit Tortoise Formation, nor to rest, he hurried toward where the spiritual qi gathered; upon entering the main hall, he saw Wang Ping'an enveloped in spiritual qi.

"As expected!"

Seeing this, Xuanqing Daozhang's face and eyes were full of undisguisable excitement: "I said this child is an Innate Dao Body!"

Besides the explanation of Innate Dao Body, he couldn't think of any other reason that would cause the wandering spiritual qi between heaven and earth to swarm toward Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an is so young, not yet cultivating, yet from time to time he can attract the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi; when Wang Ping'an grows up and begins cultivation, he dare not imagine what extraordinary phenomena Wang Ping'an will provoke.

Perhaps there may indeed come a day when he triggers a heaven-earth phenomenon!

The next moment.

Xuanqing Daozhang's thoughts moved; a vast surge of magical power emanated from his whole body, like one dragon after another, spreading outward, in an instant enveloping the entire Wang Family, to prevent others from noticing the Wang Family's anomaly.

If it were before.

Wang Ping'an occasionally attracted heaven and earth spiritual qi from all directions; he wouldn't have worried about any danger, but having experienced last night when Hu Meiniang secretly sneaked into the Wang Family, before Hu Meiniang knew the specifics of the Wang Family, he could not guarantee she wouldn't be lurking around.

Once Hu Meiniang discovered this abnormal phenomenon, she might discover something.

He dared not gamble on what Hu Meiniang would do if she knew Wang Ping'an was an Innate Dao Body.
