Chapter 264

No way!

However, when Wang Ping'an clearly saw that the artificial dantian formed by the Myriad Sword Secret held not ordinary magical power but strand after strand of Sword Qi, he was stunned, and his face filled with ecstatic joy.

"Myriad Sword Secret, what a Myriad Sword Secret!"

Wang Ping'an immediately realized why, when the artificial dantian condensed by the Myriad Sword Secret had just formed, it suddenly burst forth with a terrifying Sword Qi.

"So much Sword Qi, hehe, so much Sword Qi..."

Wang Ping'an inwardly viewed his body, staring unblinking at the strand after strand of Sword Qi in the Myriad Sword Secret's artificial dantian, as if thinking of something happy, he smiled foolishly.

He hadn't forgotten that just now he had upgraded the Sword Nurturing Secret to the Greater Attainment Realm, and the effect was markedly clearer compared to the Cultivation of the Sword Nurturing Secret.

He couldn't believe that every strand of Sword Qi in the Myriad Sword Secret's artificial dantian was entirely nurtured by the Technique into one sword apparatus after another.

Afterward.

When all of them are unleashed, what a terrifying phenomenon!

He discovered that thereafter he need not spend large sums to buy divine weapons, nor waste energy refining them—no, refining still requires refining, at least he could profit by selling divine weapons.

Each strand of Sword Qi in the Myriad Sword Secret's artificial dantian is a top-notch embryo of a divine weapon, and moreover it is of the growable type.

After a long while.

Only after emerging from myriad joys did Wang Ping'an, just about to unconsciously use the Technique to nurture the strand after strand of Sword Qi in the Myriad Sword Secret's artificial dantian, then recall the Small Five Elements Sword Formation.

The foundation of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation is the Five Elements Law Sword, which he still prepares to nurture with the Technique.

Currently.

Most importantly, still in his own courtyard, laying out the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, the Five Elements Law Sword crafted by his own hands, he believes that even among high-grade magical artifacts it can be called a fine product, once the Small Five Elements Sword Formation is set up.

It is sufficient to unleash the full power of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation!

But he is even more convinced that, before laying out the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, nurturing the Five Elements Law Sword with the Technique, then laying out the formation, can double the power of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation.

At that thought, fortunately the magical power in the two artificial dantians of the exhausted Purple Qi Classic and Worship Moon Classic gradually recovered; with a flick of his mind, he casually took out a Five Elements Law Sword and nurtured it with the Technique.

While the magical power was again completely exhausted, Wang Ping'an, while cultivating and with a thought, took out another cultivator's spoils of war.

A storage bag.

A thought!

A heap of scrap copper and iron appeared inside the World Pearl!

Wang Ping'an glanced down, his gaze landing on a yellowed little booklet; as for the other scrap copper and iron—none were valuable items, at least not enough to catch his eye, leaving them to be swallowed by the World Pearl.

Become one of the nutrients that increase the World Pearl's area!

Yin Qi Classic!

Wang Ping'an looked at the title on the flyleaf of the little booklet, his brows slightly furrowed, a bad thought rose in his heart, yet he couldn't help but flip it open and start reading.

After he finished reading, his face was full of strange feelings, not knowing whether he should cultivate this strange cultivation technique.

Ding! You have diligently studied the Yin Qi Classic, congratulations on receiving the reward: Cultivation Technique: Yin Qi Classic 【Entry Level】!

A mechanically cold voice rang out in his mind, yet it still didn't let Wang Ping'an snap out of his hesitation. Logically speaking, given his previous experiences, let alone ordinary cultivation methods, even basic cultivation methods, he wouldn't suffer a loss by practicing them.

There will be no mutual repulsion of magical power, nor will there be a backlash!

Who let him use Merit to upgrade his cultivation method to the Cultivation stage, after which he would spontaneously condense an artificial dantian, and furthermore absorb the spiritual energy entering his body, which cannot circulate the heavenly circuit, only then can it be refined into magical power.

This leads many cultivators to be able to practice only one type or cultivation methods of the same attribute.

Otherwise, serious side effects will appear!

At the mildest, loss of all power and serious injury; at worst, the body explodes and death.

He, however, only needs to rely on Merit to raise the proficiency level of his cultivation method, and he can condense an artificial dantian within his body.

Although.

Like the Moon Worship Classic, such a crude cultivation method cannot compare to the Purple Qi Classic, which counts as a sect's basic cultivation method.

The artificial dantian condensed from the Moon Worship Classic is likewise inferior to that of the Purple Qi Classic; the quality of the magical power inside cannot be said to be worlds apart, yet there is still a significant difference.

This novel you have arrived at.

But having one more artificial dantian means having one more source of magical power, which can bring unexpected benefits at critical moments.

Ironically, the cultivation method he obtained, rather than being called a cultivation method, is more like a Ghost Cultivator's method; only those whose lifespan is nearing its end and who are unwilling to report to the Underworld would switch to Ghost Cultivation.

One is the hope to make one last gamble and transcend to become an immortal; two is having done many deeds that provoke heaven's wrath and people's resentment, and once one goes to the Underworld, there will certainly be no good outcome.

Furthermore, only those from poor families who cannot access orthodox cultivation methods, or lack the aptitude and are unwilling to live ordinary lives, desiring a chance at wealth and status, will practice Ghost Cultivation.

He, however, has a bright future ahead—how could he possibly waste it by taking the path of Ghost Cultivation?

Why not give it a try? After all, it's just adding one more artificial dantian of the Yin Qi Classic inside the body; it's not that learning this method prevents one from practicing other cultivation methods. If there's no prospect, we can simply abandon it afterward!

Upon thinking this, Wang Ping'an's eyes lit up at once; after all, the Moon Worship Classic he cultivates isn't exactly a proper cultivation method, practicing the Moon Worship Classic isn't bad, and practicing the Yin Qi Classic shouldn't be harmful either.

Just as Wang Ping'an called up the system interface, preparing to raise the proficiency level of the Yin Qi Classic, he saw that he didn't have much Merit, and also saw that he had just obtained several intermediate Talismans.

With over a thousand Merit, upgrading the Yin Qi Classic to the Cultivation stage is no problem.

But doing so would exhaust all his Merit, making it impossible to then raise the proficiency levels of several intermediate Talismans; he still needs to rely on those intermediate Talismans to earn money and pay off debts.

Forget it; we don't know what benefits upgrading the Yin Qi Classic to the Cultivation stage will bring, and it might even have drawbacks; for now, there are still more important matters!

Wang Ping'an is not the type to hesitate endlessly; at least when he has a goal, he won't hesitate, he said:

Let's first raise the proficiency of three intermediate Talismans, then when we have extra Merit later we'll upgrade the Yin Qi Classic to the Cultivation stage, and then see what benefits the Cultivation-stage Yin Qi Classic will bring!

Having thought this, Wang Ping'an eagerly tapped the flashing gold "+" sign next to the Thunder Talisman; after raising the Thunder Talisman's proficiency to Mastery, he then went on to tap the flashing gold "+" signs next to the other two intermediate Talismans.

He didn't stop until all of them were upgraded to Mastery level!
