Mu Qingxiao knew that he shouldn't bite off more than he could chew, but he was confident that he could comprehend the two sword techniques within a few years.
The Kongming Sword and the Great Void Sword were the best sword techniques in the world. They were the famous techniques of the Sword-bearing Elder, Perfected Ziyin.
Moreover, one had to have a certain understanding of the Sword Dao to cultivate the two sword techniques.
If an ordinary disciple were to cultivate them, they would have no idea where to start. However, Mu Qingxiao had a different start. He already had a deep understanding of the Sword Dao, so cultivating the two sword techniques wasn't difficult at all.
It wasn't just because of the more profound sword techniques, but also because he was looking forward to how many points he could obtain on the fourth level.
"You don't have to worry about me, Perfected Ziyin. If not for my confidence, I wouldn't want to go to the fourth level."
"… I know that you have extraordinary potential, and I'm not trying to stop you."
Perfected Ziyin sighed and shook his head. "However, if you want to go to the fourth level, you must first comprehend the Kongming Sword and the Great Void Sword. This is the rule set by the Sect Leader. As elders, we have to abide by it."
Mu Qingxiao raised his eyebrows. "Senior, you haven't been to the fourth level?"
"No. In the past hundred years, only the Sect Leader and the Sword-bearing Elder have been to the fourth level of the Mystic Techniques Hall. The other elders don't have the right to go there."
Perfected Ziyin looked regretful. "My talent in the Sword Dao is average. I only have a superficial understanding of the Kongming Sword and the Great Void Sword. Naturally, I don't have the right to go there."
Mu Qingxiao nodded. What Perfected Ziyin said was slightly different from what the disciples on the first level said.
As a Core Formation elder, the first three levels of the Mystic Techniques Hall were open to him. However, if he wanted to go to the fourth level, he had to comprehend the Kongming Sword and the Great Void Sword.
Even if he was a Core Formation elder, he had to abide by the rules set by the Sect Leader.
Mu Qingxiao looked away after glancing at the stairs to the fourth level. "If that's the case, I'll have to comprehend the two sword techniques first. I'll come and disturb you then."
He felt that it was a pity, but he had no choice. Since there were rules, he had to abide by them. He could only come again after he comprehended the two sword techniques.
Waving his hand, Daoist Master Lingxu said helplessly, "I'm just older than you. We're both elders, so there's no need to be so polite."
"Goodbye."
After saying that, Mu Qingxiao eagerly left the Mystic Techniques Hall, preparing to return to her palace to cultivate.
Watching Mu Qingxiao's departing figure, Daoist Lingxu stroked his beard and said, "The younger generation will surpass us in time. Perhaps in the near future, another sword immortal will appear in Heaven's Wall City."
...
...
As the youngest Core Formation Elder in Heaven's Wall City, he was greeted respectfully by Mu Qingxiao's disciples along the way.
Mu Qingxiao was not arrogant. He responded to the disciples who greeted him with a warm smile, causing the disciples to respect him even more.
"Ling Yue greets Elder Mu."
While walking on the road, a rather familiar voice entered her ears. Mu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment before she raised her head.
Reflected in her eyes was a young man of about ten years old. He was wearing a white and purple robe, and his somewhat long black hair was tied behind his head. He looked imposing.
After seeing Mu Qingxiao, Ling Yue quickly walked up and said with a face full of smiles, "Thank you for your help a few days ago, Elder Mu."
"It's nothing. Don't mention it."
Looking at the young man in front of her, Mu Qingxiao smiled slightly. She had a good impression of him.
After chatting for a while, Mu Qingxiao turned and left. Ling Yue was only a ten-year-old boy, so the two of them had nothing to talk about.
Ten minutes later, after returning to her residence, Mu Qingxiao came to the edge of the cliff and said, "It's time to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. But before that, I need to refine a pill."
After saying that, a medicinal cauldron appeared on the edge of the cliff. Sitting down cross-legged, a wisp of black flame rose from his palm and poured into the medicinal cauldron.
In the blink of an eye, the black divine fire began to roll in the medicinal cauldron.
Looking at the rolling flames in the medicinal cauldron, Mu Qingxiao unknowingly had two jade bottles in his hands. He poured out a few medicinal herbs and a purple spiritual fruit.
When the fire was about to burn, he flicked his finger and the medicinal herbs were sent into the medicinal cauldron at the same time. Immediately, the divine fire surged and wrapped the spiritual herbs, beginning to burn and refine them.
While fighting in the plane, Mu Qingxiao was preparing to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. The pill he was going to refine next was called the Purple Spirit Barrier Breaking Pill.
The Purple Spirit Barrier Breaking Pill was a seventh-grade pill that could break through the barrier between the Soul Formation Realm and the Void Refinement Realm. It could even increase the cultivation of the person who took it.
A seventh-grade pill was extremely precious. In the entire Heaven's Wall City, other than him, only Immortal Huanxu could refine it.
After putting the spiritual herbs into the medicinal cauldron, Mu Qingxiao no longer hesitated and began to control the divine fire to refine the pure energy in the spiritual herbs and remove the impurities.
If Immortal Huanxu saw this scene, he would probably be so shocked that his jaw would drop to the ground. He could not refine four or five spiritual herbs at the same time anyway.
One had to know that the refining process required concentration. Even the slightest bit of carelessness could destroy the spiritual herbs.
Mu Qingxiao's control of the divine fire originated from his bloodline, so his proficiency in refining pills had long surpassed the limits of a seventh-grade alchemist.
After the spiritual herbs were refined and the energies began to fuse, Mu Qingxiao closed his eyes slightly. After adjusting the divine fire to a certain degree, he observed every movement in the medicinal cauldron.
As time passed, four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Mu Qingxiao opened his eyes and formed a seal with his hands. Using his soul power to control the enormous energy, he said, "Condense."
Fifteen minutes later, he waved his hand gently and the divine fire was extinguished. The lid of the cauldron opened, and a purple halo shot out. Immediately after, a rich pill fragrance wafted out.
Looking at the longan-sized purple pill in the medicinal cauldron, Mu Qingxiao was quite satisfied. He rolled his hand and the purple pill flew out and floated above his palm.
"Purple Spirit Barrier Breaking Pill, seventh-grade pill. Next, I can try to break through to the Void Training Stage."
After saying that, Mu Qingxiao put the Purple Spirit Barrier Breaking Pill into a jade bottle and put away the Thousand Beast Cauldron at the same time.
Mu Qingxiao looked around. Although the spiritual energy was abundant, he was in Heaven's Wall City. If he broke through here, he would definitely attract everyone's attention. This was not what Mu Qingxiao wanted.
"It seems that I have to go down the mountain and come back after I break through to the Void Training Stage. It won't take long anyway."
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxiao glanced at the palace. The surrounding space distorted and his figure disappeared from the cliff.
At this moment, Xiao Lan was cultivating in the palace. Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ears, waking her up from her cultivation.
"I had a sudden epiphany and found the opportunity to break through. I need to go down the mountain. It will take at least three to five days and at most half a month. You can cultivate in the palace by yourself. Don't rely too much on pills."
Looking out of the palace, Xiao Lan suddenly came to her senses and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your guidance."
