In the valley.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the other Daoists were battling the sword qi clone.
All sorts of ultimate sword techniques were unleashed from their hands, including some Sage Techniques. Their power was unparalleled and earth-shattering.
However, Chu Kuangren's sword qi clone was too powerful. Its sword qi was extremely pure, and its Sword-based Daoist Rhyme had overpowered everyone present. No matter how many techniques they used, they could not do anything to it.
The sword qi clone raised its hand and unleashed a sword attack at Murong Xuan. The sword qi was accompanied by a terrifying Sword-based Daoist Rhyme.
Murong Xuan's pupils shrank under the force of that attack. He was no match for it at all, and his entire body was blasted hundreds of feet away. He crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. He felt as if the bones in his body were about to shatter.
He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The intense pain made him unable to move. Looking at the seemingly invincible sword qi clone, Murong Xuan suddenly had a thought … Lying here was pretty good too.
However, at that moment, a gentle breeze brushed past his body. It contained a mysterious Daoist Rhyme and life force, and it quickly healed his injuries.
Not long after, his injuries were mostly healed.
Chu Kuangren smiled at him from afar. "Why are you still lying here? Are you trying to slack off? That won't do. Go on, keep going."
The corner of Murong Xuan's mouth twitched, but he then looked at the sword qi clone with a battle intent in his eyes. He raised his sword and charged forward again.
"Divine Nine Suns Art, Seven Solar Slash!"
Daoist Rhymes flowed all over his body, and an extremely hot Daoist Rhyme surged out, turning into seven huge fireballs that floated in the air like seven suns. Then, they all slashed at the sword qi clone.
However, the Sword Qi Doppelganger raised its hand, and a purple sword light streaked across the void, shattering the seven fireballs one by one. The majestic Flame Qi was wrapped by the Sword Qi, sweeping in all directions like a solar storm.
The surrounding Daoists were all swept away by the storm.
"F * ck me, is that even possible?"
"He's using Murong Xuan's technique against us. With such a level of swordsmanship, is it really just a clone?"
"This is only one-sixtieth of the Sect Leader's strength …"
Everyone was shocked. They gritted their teeth and charged towards the clone again.
This battle lasted for two hours.
During these two hours, every Daoist had been seriously injured at least twice, and the number of times they had been lightly injured was innumerable.
After the battle, several people lay on the ground, exhausted of their spiritual power.
"Alright, let's call it a day." Chu Kuangren glanced at the setting sun, snapped his fingers, and the sword qi instantly dissipated.
He looked at Nangong Huang and the others and smiled faintly. "Let's continue here tomorrow morning. It's fine. I told you to defeat my avatar within a month. Today is only the first day."
"There are still many opportunities."
Looking at the smiling Chu Kuangren, Nangong Huang and the others could not help but wonder if the Sect Leader in front of them was a demon in disguise.
Quickly return that kind and gentle Sect Leader to us!
"That's all for now. Goodbye."
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu left, and the people lying on the ground looked at each other. All they could see was darkness in front of them, and all they could do was groan in their hearts.
"This is only the first day. There are still three months until the championship. In other words, we have to endure this special training for another two months. Oh god, I don't want to live anymore." Zhuo Han wailed.
"No, we can't let the Sect Leader look down on us."
Jun Yi gritted her teeth.
Chu Kuangren's disappointed expression today made her determined. "We must persevere even if we die."
"You won't die even if you want to. Once the Sect Leader uses his Spring Breeze Healing Technique, you'll have to get up and continue to suffer," Nangong Huang said.
"Hey, are you guys going back?"
Murong Xuan asked.
"No, I don't have any strength left."
"Me too. I'll get someone to send us some food and some clothes later," Nangong Huang said.
Everyone sat on the ground and began to recover their spiritual power. As soon as they activated their techniques, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Did you guys notice that the recovery speed of our spiritual power has become faster?" Nangong Huang said.
"I feel that too."
"It's because of the Marrow Cleansing Pool."
Murong Xuan pondered. "It's because the Marrow Cleansing Pool has improved our bone structure. That's why both our techniques and spiritual power recovery speed have become faster and more efficient."
"Hmm, not bad."
Everyone nodded and looked at the Marrow Cleansing Pool in the distance with shock in their eyes. They were not stupid, so they naturally knew what the Marrow Cleansing Pool meant to a sect.
What was the standard to judge a sect's potential? Talents.
And this Marrow Cleansing Pool could produce talents in batches!
"I'm afraid this is the key to the Black Heaven Sect's prosperity!"
"This Marrow Cleansing Pool is too important."
"The Sect Leader can't believe he just casually left such an important thing here. Isn't that a little too casual?"
"There must be some kind of restriction. Besides, even a Sage would pay close attention to something like this. They won't let anything happen to it."
A while later.
A few disciples brought some clothes and food over.
When he saw the group of Daoists lying on the ground in disarray, looking like they had been squeezed dry, he could not help but be speechless.
What kind of special training did the Sect Leader arrange for them?
Was it that terrifying?!
After Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu left, they did not return to the Towering Heaven Palace immediately. Instead, they went to a quiet valley.
The Fairfrost Sage lived in this valley.
"Sect Leader, you're here."
The Fairfrost Sage's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Kuangren.
"Yes, I'm here to see how the spirit rice is doing."
"Not bad."
The Fairfrost Sage brought Chu Kuangren to a few acres of rice fields.
The spiritual qi in the fields was extremely rich.
It was a type of spirit rice that contained spiritual qi.
The spiritual qi content of spirit rice was not as high as some Supreme Elixirs, but its value was far higher than some Supreme Elixirs. It could even be compared to Sage-grade Supreme Elixirs.
Because spirit rice could be grown on a large scale, it had a short maturity period and was easier for cultivators to absorb compared to Supreme Elixirs.
In the current Firmament Star, there were not many sage orthodoxies that had spirit rice, and the Thunder Temple was one of them.
That was also the reason why their vegetarian food was known as the best in the world.
However, the value of the Thunder Temple's spirit rice paled in comparison to the spirit rice that Chu Kuangren had the Fairfrost Sage plant.
The Thunder Temple's spirit rice was just ordinary spirit rice, but the spirit rice that Chu Kuangren had was a high-level spirit rice that he had obtained from the gacha roll!
It was a Legendary-grade item!
"I've already harvested it once. One acre yields about a thousand catties of rice. I have twenty acres of land here, so I have about twenty thousand catties of spirit rice in reserve."
"How many times can you harvest it in a year?"
"With the help of the Yi Wood Essence, I can harvest it four times a year, which is about eighty thousand catties," the Fairfrost Sage said.
"Eighty thousand catties is far from enough."
Chu Kuangren shook his head. There were more than a hundred thousand disciples in the Black Heaven Sect, so eighty thousand catties of spirit rice was just a drop in the bucket.
"I can only provide it to some True Disciples for now. If I want to use it on a larger scale, I'll have to expand the scale."
"The scale can be expanded, but my Yi Wood Essence can't produce that much spirit rice," the Fairfrost Sage said.
The Yi Wood Essence was the technique that the Fairfrost Sage cultivated, and it could be used to speed up the growth of spirit herbs.
However, the Fairfrost Sage was only one person, so no matter how strong the Yi Wood Essence was, it could not produce too much spirit rice.
"It's alright, we can take it slow."
