Chapter 4
Comprehending Sword Intent, Nurturing Mission Completed
At the Cottage.
Lu Changsheng casually pointed at the row of bamboo houses and said, “Choose a house.”
Ye Qiubai nodded and came to Lu Changsheng after he settled down.
Lu Changsheng sat on a recliner and waved his hand.
A sword and a medicinal pill appeared in front of Ye Qiubai.
“You’ve acknowledged me as your master, I don’t have anything good to give you. I’ll give you this Green Cloud Sword which can send you straight to the skies.”
When Ye Qiubai saw this Green Cloud Sword, he was shocked.
The Green Cloud Sword was hidden in the scabbard, and there was a faint sharp sword intent constantly surrounding it.
He could feel a Sword Dao when he held it with his hand and had vaguely comprehended it!
How could cultivation techniques and weapons that were related to the Dao be ordinary?
What would happen if it was unsheathed?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai wanted to draw his sword.
“I advise you not to unsheath it. The current you can’t withstand the intent of this sword.”
Ye Qiubai dispelled the thought upon hearing this.
“Master, this is too precious. I can’t accept it.” Ye Qiubai’s expression was serious as he handed over his sword.
Lu Changsheng glanced at Ye Qiubai and said, “Just accept it since I’ve given it to you. Also, that pill can solve your health problem.”
With that, he pointed at Ye Qiubai’s glabella.
Information about cultivation techniques entered Ye Qiubai’s mind.
The Primordial Sword Scripture.
The sword would transform the dantian, and the sword would build the meridians to achieve the Supreme Sword Body.
The profundity of it could be said to be rare in Ye Qiubai’s life, be it the cultivation techniques of the clan or what he had seen when he was out training. What he had experienced was not even one out of 10,000 of this Primordial Sword Scripture.
Ye Qiubai’s heart surged. Then, he nodded and didn’t refuse anymore. He placed the Creation Pill in his mouth and sat cross-legged to comprehend the cultivation technique!
Lu Changsheng nodded seeing this and walked into the wooden house.
“System, what is the disciple nurturing mission?”
[Activating the nurturing mission. Get Ye Qiubai to comprehend the sword intent within three days. He has to achieve the Golden Core Pill realm at the minimum. Once he reaches it, you will be rewarded with a completion reward.]
Sword intent?
This was nothing to him since he hadn’t been idle for the past twenty years. However, how could a newbie like Ye Qiubai comprehend sword intent in three days?
Also, getting Ye Qiubai, who had started from scratch, to recover to the Golden Core Pill realm in three days…
Motherf*cker, are you making things difficult for me?
However, it wasn’t easy for him to have a mission. How could he give up so quickly?
Thinking of this, he began to formulate a hell-level training method.
Sword intent relied on comprehension.
As for his Realm? He would stuff him with pills even if he had to use multiple medicinal pills!
With that, Lu Changsheng took out the alchemy furnace and waved his hand.
Medicinal herbs with restrained medicinal fragrances were thrown into it one by one…
Three days quickly passed.
Ye Qiubai, who was sitting cross-legged outside, suddenly opened his eyes. A spiritual qi vortex appeared around him and kept absorbing it with Ye Qiubai as the core!
At this moment, Lu Changsheng also walked out of the straw hut. With a flick of his finger, several array flags flew out in all directions. A formation immediately enveloped the entire Cottage!
“Formation up.” As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Spiritual Power surged into the Cottage as the spiritual qi vortex around Ye Qiubai became even more condensed.
His cultivation realm continued to rise!
The Third Realm of Qi Refinement!
The Sixth Realm!
The Ninth Realm!
…
The Foundation Establishment Realm!
However, this aura did not stop. After the Foundation Establishment realm, it did not stop until it reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
He was only one step away from entering the Golden Core Pill Stage!
Ye Qiubai opened his eyes and casually picked up a tree branch. He executed sword techniques one after another.
It was the sword skill of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
After Ye Qiubai stopped, he could feel that his talent and strength far exceeded the past.
It could be said that Lu Changsheng had given him a new life.
Putting down the branch, Ye Qiubai knelt on the ground and said solemnly, “I’ll definitely serve Master well after I exact my revenge!”
Lu Changsheng reached out and lifted Ye Qiubai.
“Alright, continue cultivating. Here are a few medicinal pills. Try to break through to the Golden Core Pill Realm in the next two days and comprehend the sword intent.”
Ye Qiubai was shocked again when he saw the pills in Lu Changsheng’s hand.
Pure Yang Scarlet Blood Pill, Concentration Pill, Vitality Nurturing Pill.
These three elixirs were rare elixirs in the entire Southern Region.
The number of alchemists who could refine these three types of medicinal pills could be counted on one hand. They were so rare that they were something that could only be chanced upon by luck.
“Master, this is too precious!”
Lu Changsheng casually threw these three pills to Ye Qiubai. “What’s so precious about them? I’ve refined an entire cauldron of them. Come back and take them if this is not enough.”
One entire cauldron…
When did this pill become as worthless as jelly beans…
However, when he thought of the request that Lu Changsheng had given him previously, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Forget about the Golden Core Pill Stage.
Sword intent was not something that could be comprehended just like that. Some people could not master sword intent even after pondering about it for a lifetime.
However, it was useless to think about this. Ye Qiubai’s gaze became firm as he continued to cultivate.
After consuming those medicinal pills, his strength also began to rapidly increase at this moment.
At the same time, sword rays began to revolve around his body and the sound of a sword whistling could be heard from within his body!
On the cliff, a willow tree watched this scene, its branches rustling.
“This kid’s talent is not bad… Only the Chaos Essence Sword Body can satisfy the cultivation conditions of the Primordial Sword Scripture.”
On a branch at the side, a little bird with fiery red wings watched this scene with a solemn gaze.
Another day passed.
Ye Qiubai was sitting on a rock when suddenly, an aura erupted.
The sword qi around Ye Qiubai roared.
Not long after, his aura was restrained.
Golden Core Pill Realm!
Ye Qiubai got up.
Even though he had reached the Golden Core Pill Realm, how could he comprehend the concept of sword intent, which could only be chanced upon by luck?
He glanced at the painting on the wooden table and couldn’t help but walk over curiously.
It was none other than the painting of a Sword Immortal dancing.
Ye Qiubai stood in front of the painting for the entire night.
That night, sword qi surrounded Ye Qiubai. The sword qi became more and more condensed. Even the Green Cloud Sword in his hand began to reveal a weak sword light.
Lu Changsheng walked out of the straw hut and stretched.
Oh? He had touched the threshold of sword intent?
“The silver saddle illuminates the white horse. It’s as valiant as a meteor.” Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but nod and recite.
Ye Qiubai seemed to have heard it. The sword qi actually began to whistle in this space!
“Killing a person in ten steps, not leaving a trace for a thousand miles. When you’re done, brush off your clothes and hide your achievements and reputation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiubai suddenly opened his eyes and the Green Cloud Sword in his hand shone brightly.
A Sword Intent soared into the sky from Ye Qiubai’s body!
The commotion alarmed the entire Hidden Dao Academy!
“This is… Sword Intent!”
“Has another swordsman appeared?”
Martial Academy, Sword Hall.
A woman in red was meditating. At that moment, she opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the rumbling sword intent.
“The Hidden Dao Academy really lives up to its reputation…”
Then, she remembered that she had been rejected by Lu Changsheng and had taken in an ordinary young man as his disciple.
“I’ll make you regret not taking me as your disciple.”
With that, she closed her eyes and continued to comprehend the blood-red sword in front of her.
…
Only by comprehending sword intent could one become a sword practitioner.
At this moment, a series of voices sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
[Nurturing Mission Completed]
[The host has obtained the Nine Netherworld Formation, Law of Sword Dao, 1,000 years of cultivation.]
