In front of Chen Zong was a row of different pseudo-spiritual weapons.
When he was conferred the title of State Knight, Chen Zong entered the dynasty's treasury once to choose treasures, but Chen Zong didn't know where the pseudo-spiritual weapons were. What he chose in the end could only depend on his luck.
At that time, Chen Zong chose an iron plate. Until now, he didn't know what it was used for. It seemed that its only characteristic was its hardness. Even Chen Zong's full strength sword couldn't damage it at all, not even leaving a mark.
This time, when he was promoted to State Knight, all kinds of pseudo-spiritual weapons were gathered together for Chen Zong to choose.
"I need a pseudo-spiritual sword," Chen Zong said to himself and glanced around.
There were a total of more than 30 pseudo-spiritual weapons here, including armor, combat shoes, arm guards, gloves, bracelets, rings, and so on. There was also a headband.
As for weapons, there weren't many. There were only six in total, two sabers, two swords, one long spear, and one battle-ax.
Chen Zong's eyes fell on the two swords.
One was a short sword. Chen Zong directly ruled it out. Although Chen Zong could quickly familiarize himself with the short sword, Chen Zong preferred a long sword.
The long sword was more than one meter long, the blade was as wide as three fingers side by side, and the spine was as thick as one finger. The blade was covered with wavy lines, which were very dazzling.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong reached out and grabbed the long sword. The long sword weighed dozens of pounds, but it didn't pressure Chen Zong at all.
"The first level pseudo-spiritual weapon, Mountain-Beheading Sword, can activate the power of Mountain-Beheading Sword, making the sword more powerful." The person who brought Chen Zong to choose said, "Unfortunately, you should have chosen the short sword. It's the only second level pseudo-spiritual weapon here."
Hearing this, Chen Zong couldn't help but look at the short sword again, but there was no regret in his heart. Since he had already made a choice, he had no regrets. Besides, he really didn't like the short sword.
If he didn't like it, how could his mind be clear if he forced it?
With the Mountain-Beheading Sword in hand, Chen Zong left the palace and returned to the Red Maple Garden.
With the Mountain-Beheading Sword in hand, the Ancient Imperial Sword naturally had to be retired.
Chen Zong pulled out his sword. The tip of the sword was dazzling, as if it could cut through the sunlight. Chen Zong flicked his wrist, and like the sound of wind and thunder, dozens of sword lights tore through the air, shooting out like a storm. It was extremely sharp. While the air was being torn apart, there was also a part of it that was highly compressed and shot out, cutting through the ground, leaving behind sword marks.
On a whim, Chen Zongshi displayed various sword techniques.
Sometimes it was light and nimble like a swallow as it flashed through the air; sometimes it was like the surging waves of the ocean, wave after wave; sometimes it was like a gale that swept up dust and sand that filled the sky; sometimes it was swift like a bolt of lightning that seemed to want to tear the sky apart and shatter the earth …
It was a delightful moment.
…
"The practice of Bipolar Strength Technique requires the assistance of the Icefire Pill. Only then will the effect be better."
"Let's go to the outer city to look."
There were many shops that sold pills in the outer city of the Royal Capital. Among them, the Hundred Pill Building was the leader and claimed to have the most complete set of pills.
"You are … you are …" The deacon of the Hundred Pill Building opened his eyes wide. His voice trembled, and even his breathing became rapid. He was extremely excited.
"Speak slowly." Chen Zong smiled slightly. His voice seemed to contain a calming power.
"You are … a great national scholar …" The deacon's tone calmed down, but he was still very excited.
A great national scholar of the Royal Capital. Although he had no real power, he had extraordinary status and was a symbol of supreme honor that could be immortalized for generations to come.
This was especially true for Chen Zong, who was still very young. His future accomplishments were even more limitless.
"I'm here to buy some pills." Chen Zong smiled.
"Great national scholar, you have chosen the right place. The Hundred Pill Building has the most complete set of pills. We have what other shops have, and we also have what other shops don't have." The deacon said excitedly, "Moreover, the Hundred Pill Building has alchemy masters who can refine specific pills."
"Do you have the Icefire Pill?" Chen Zong asked. The Icefire Pill was a pill that was rarely used. Ordinary shops often didn't have it. He didn't know if the Hundred Pill Building had it.
"Yes, yes, yes." The deacon said repeatedly, "Great national scholar, how many pills do you need?"
"How much is one pill worth?" Chen Zong asked again.
"Great national scholar, the herbs needed to refine the Icefire Pill are precious. The success rate is low, so the price is high." The deacon quickly said, "One pill costs 50 spirit shells. But since you are a great national scholar, the Hundred Pill Building can give you a 20% discount. One pill only costs 40 spirit shells."
"Give me ten pills first." Chen Zong silently calculated and said.
First of all, he didn't have many spirit shells. The total number was more than 600. If he sold the Yin Ganoderma and Yin Nether Iron, he might be able to get a hundred more.
Moreover, it was still unknown how many Icefire Pills were needed to practice the Dual Polarity Strength Skill. But he estimated that he needed ten pills. He would buy ten pills first.
"Alright, please take a seat and wait for a moment. I'll pack up the Ice Fire Pills." The Deacon excitedly left. He quickly brought Chen Zong a cup of tea and went to retrieve the pills.
Soon, Chen Zong left with the Icefire Pills worth 400 spirit shells and returned directly to the Guan Mansion.
In the Red Maple Garden, Chen Zong took a Icefire Pill and put it gently into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and he swallowed it. Immediately, he felt a mixture of coldness and heat, which quickly spread.
It was as if he was standing in a world of ice and snow, or being roasted on a fire. This alternating feeling of coldness and heat made Chen Zong unable to tell what it was. It was painful, but also comfortable.
With a strong will, Chen Zong withstood this strange feeling and got rid of all distracting thoughts. He silently recited the formula of the Dual Polarity Strength Skill, and the powerful Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength was also activated.
The power of the pill, which was cold and hot, was immediately absorbed into the Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill. They mixed together and wandered between Chen Zong's bones and muscles.
The intertwining of ice and fire, the unique operation skills and trajectories, made the impurities contained in the pure and powerful Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill be expelled little by little. They were squeezed out through the pores of the skin along with the wriggling of the bones and muscles.
A little gray gradually appeared on the surface of Chen Zong's skin.
The effects of one [Ice Fire Pill] lasted for about half an hour. Chen Zong opened his eyes and lowered his head to take a look. Soon after, his entire body trembled slightly. The muscles on his body undulated like waves, directly shaking off the gray impurities on the surface of his skin, leaving not even a speck of dust on it.
Chen Zong tried to circulate his inner strength and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Good, the Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill is indeed purer."
This efficiency was more than ten times better than when he practiced the Strength Concentration Skill for several days in a row. It also made Chen Zong know that his choice was correct.
It was very difficult to refine and purify the internal force, and it would bring an obvious burden to the body. However, Chen Zong's body was strong and stronger than many warriors, so this level of burden was nothing and was soon eliminated. He took out the second Icefire Pill and continued to practice the Dual Polarity Strength Skill.
Two days!
In just two days, Chen Zong took all ten Icefire Pills. The refining effect of the internal force was also obvious, and the purity was increased by 30%.
The 30% increase meant that the power of the Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill was more powerful and his combat strength was enhanced.
"I haven't reached the limit yet," Chen Zong said to himself.
He estimated that he would need at least ten more Icefire Pills.
In the shop in the outer city, Chen Zong sold the Yin Nether Iron and Yin Ganoderma and got 150 spirit shells. Including what he had, he still had less than 400 spirit shells.
But it didn't matter. Chen Zong could borrow them from the Guan Mansion first and pay them back when he received his Great State Scholar's salary next month.
Another ten Icefire Pills were obtained, and Chen Zong took all of them in two days. However, the refining effect of the internal force was not as good as before.
In total, the purity of Chen Zong's Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill was increased by 50% with the help of 20 Icefire Pills and the Dual Polarity Strength Skill.
"50% is already the limit." Chen Zong said to himself and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, it was already amazing to be able to refine the powerful Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill and increase its purity by 50%.
"50%. I wonder if my combat strength has reached the Seven Star level?" Chen Zong had an idea and was looking forward to it.
There was a huge gap between the Seven Star level and the Six Star level. It was very difficult to cross. In the history of the Cloud Dragon Dynasty, no one had ever achieved it.
What Chen Zong didn't know was that even in the place where Nan Shuntian came from, there were very few martial artists who could reach the Seven Star level in the Qi Refining Realm. However, that place as a whole was more than ten times stronger than the Cloud Dragon Dynasty.
The Seven Star level was also the goal of Nan Shuntian, but he didn't know if he could achieve it.
The gap was like a natural chasm.
Without using any secret techniques, Chen Zong used his internal force to perform the most powerful sword strike. After carefully feeling it, he couldn't help but shake his head. He had already touched the Seven Star level, but he still hadn't reached it.
The gap was really big.
However, Chen Zong wasn't discouraged. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
The refinement of the Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill had reached the peak, and the Huntian Yuan Breaking Strength Skill had been cultivated to the sixth level. In this aspect, there was no more room for improvement. However, there was still hope for his cultivation to reach the Completion of the Qi Refining Realm.
Chen Zong was sure that as long as his cultivation reached the Completion of the Qi Refining Realm, his combat strength would definitely reach the Seven Star level, or even the early Seven Star level.
However, Chen Zong still couldn't find an accurate clue about the Completion of the Qi Refining Realm. He didn't know how long it would take for him to truly comprehend it and grasp the key points and opportunities to break through.
Fortunately, other than the Completion of the Qi Refining Realm, there were many other sword techniques that could be practiced. He could also comprehend the Body and Sword as One and the Enlightenment Realm more deeply. All of these would directly or indirectly increase Chen Zong's combat strength.
Day after day, time flew by. After sparring with Chen Zong again and again, Shi Huanyue finally broke through the limit and successfully comprehended the Body and Sword as One realm. The accumulation was converted into strength, and his combat strength was increased to the peak of the Four Star level.
As if knowing that Shi Huanyue had comprehended the Body and Sword as One, Su Xiaoshui came to Chen Zong from time to time to ask for advice. After a few days, Shi Huanyue also comprehended the Body and Sword as One.
