Chapter 76: Blade Nurturing Art! Accumulating Blade Qi!_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
After entering meditation, Su Changkong’s Essence Qi Spirit unified into one, focusing on the Iron-Cutting Sword in his hands, as he attempted to nurture it with his own Essence Qi Spirit.
This was a mysterious state that if he were an ordinary martial artist, even with the secret manual for the Blade Nurturing Art, it would have been impossible to achieve any results!
But Su Changkong had reached the Body Refinement Realm and had been practicing the Turtle Breath Technique. Cultivating both internally and externally, his Essence Qi Spirit was at the pinnacle among those in the Body Refinement Realm!
Not to mention that cultivating the Blade Nurturing Art required a solid foundation in blade techniques. Su Changkong’s Iron Cutting Blade Technique had been honed to the extent of Profound Mastery in the 7th realm, a level difficult for peers to match, bolstered further by a potential value as high as 15 points.
For Su Changkong, cultivating this Blade Nurturing Art posed little difficulty!
Su Changkong sat cross-legged, immobile, with absolute concentration, until nearly half an hour had passed.
“Huhuhu!”
Su Changkong took deep breaths as he came out of the meditative state, feeling dizzy for a while until he regained his vigor after dozens of breaths.
This was the exhaustion from cultivating the Blade Nurturing Art, not in terms of physical strength but in the aspects of spirit and True Qi.
It was like focusing intensely on something, engaging in an activity for a prolonged period, which would inevitably lead to utter exhaustion and listlessness!
Su Changkong examined the Iron-Cutting Sword in his hand and noticed no change, but he was not discouraged, knowing that martial training and nurturing a blade were not achieved in a day.
Blade Nurturing Art (Entry 17%)
Su Changkong opened his attribute panel for a glance and saw the Blade Nurturing Art added to his attribute list, which, due to his robust foundation and talent far exceeding ordinary people, allowed for rapid progress!
“In the future, I’ll dedicate half an hour to an hour each day to cultivating the Blade Nurturing Art. I need to make a sword for practicing my Blade Technique.”
Su Changkong’s spirits lifted. His matched sword required his Essence Qi Spirit to nurture it daily and could not be drawn lightly to prevent Blade Qi from leaking out and spoiling his efforts. Therefore, he needed a different sword for practicing his Blade Technique.
Of course, this was no challenge for Su Changkong; in two or three days, he could forge another Iron-Cutting Sword!
Su Changkong lay back on the bed and began practicing the Turtle Breath Technique to recover his spirit and strength while training, preparing for a new day!
Su Changkong’s life suddenly became peaceful, as he continued his usual routine of practicing the Five Animal Frolics, smithing, practicing blade, nurturing the blade, and practicing the Turtle Breath Technique. On his weekly rest day, he would visit Clearwater City to meet with Wang Yun and inquire if there were any Black Lotus Sect disciples to be exterminated, making his days quite fulfilling!
Two peaceful months passed by.
He made some advancements in the Five Animal Frolics, Turtle Breath Technique and even his Blade Technique, though nothing dramatic, but the greatest improvement was in the Blade Nurturing Art, which he began practicing for the first time!
Blade Nurturing Art (3rd realm Complete Understanding 18%)
This Blade Nurturing Art had an extremely high threshold and was difficult to cultivate, yet Su Changkong, with his solid foundation, achieved noticeable success in just two months.
“A strand of Blade Qi has already begun to accumulate. If released, it would enable me to kill the Black Cavalry Gang’s Second Master with a single slash!”
Su Changkong caressed the scabbard of the Iron-Cutting Sword, sensing the invisible Blade Qi entwined around the blade within the scabbard, his lips curving into a smile.
Previously, facing Cao Hong of the Divine Bravery Stage, Su Changkong had to make three cuts to slay him. But now, after nurturing his blade for two months with the Blade Nurturing Art, if he confronted Cao Hong again, it would only take an instant to kill him!
Of course, if he were to expend the Blade Qi, he would have to start nurturing it from scratch. This was Su Changkong’s trump card, not to be used lightly!
“I need to make a trip to Ginseng Town tomorrow to purchase some herbs.”
Su Changkong stretched lazily, as he nearly ran out of the last batch of herbs he had purchased and needed to restock.
Now well-off, Su Changkong could afford to consume double doses of the Vital Qi Spread, managing to cover the cost of over six hundred taels of silver each month!
The next morning, Su Changkong got up early and headed to Ginseng Town, which was a couple hundred miles away, arriving around noon.
“Lord Wen!”
Outside Ginseng Manor, the arrival of Su Changkong led the disciples of the manor to greet him respectfully, recognizing him as a major patron of the manor!
” I will immediately inform the Manor Lord.” One of the Ginseng Manor disciples took the initiative to notify Liu Feng without needing Su Changkong’s instruction.
“Lord Wen, please come in.”
Soon after, under the cordial invitation of the Ginseng Manor disciples, Su Changkong entered the manor and was warmly welcomed by the Manor Lord Liu Feng to take a seat.
As usual, Su Changkong successfully purchased enough herbs for Vital Qi Spread for two months from Liu Feng.
” I will take my leave now,” Su Changkong said without lingering for long and prepared to leave.
“Hey! My master is old, don’t you guys start getting rough!”
However, to Su Changkong’s slight surprise, there was a commotion at the entrance of Ginseng Manor.
At the entrance stood an old man and a young boy, with the Ginseng Manor disciples looking helplessly frustrated.
“Dr. Hua Shan, the Manor Lord has already instructed us, please don’t make it difficult for us!”
A disciple of Ginseng Manor said helplessly.
“Dr. Hua Shan?”
Su Changkong, however, was taken aback, as standing at the entrance of Ginseng Manor were an old and a young individual. The younger was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a modest appearance and a medicinal fragrance about him.
The other was a white-haired, white-bearded, kindly-faced, old man, none other than Dr. Hua Shan himself!
Dr. Hua Shan had once visited Black Iron Manor and promoted the Five Animal Frolics. It was then that Su Changkong learned the Five Animal Frolics from Dr. Hua Shan for a few days. Later, Dr. Hua Shan also gifted Su Changkong a Body Strengthening Soup prescription, asking nothing in return and showing great kindness to Su Changkong!
