Outside the Spirit Abyss, in the misty land, four streaks of light suddenly stopped.
Xue Zhuyong looked at the rolling clouds in front of him and raised his eyebrows, "Brat, you guessed right. There is an extremely large formation enveloping this place. I think this is the absolute killing zone set up by the Dragon Slaughtering Saber."
The next moment, Xue Zhuyong released his Divine Sense and scanned the formation in front of him.
Inside the formation.
Most of the Dragonslaying Saber's cultivators were gathered here, but everyone looked solemn. The atmosphere was heavy.
The moment Xue Zhuyong released his Divine Sense, the swordmaster suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong, Swordmaster?" The Daoist Tongzheng noticed that the swordmaster's expression was off.
"There's a Nascent Soul cultivator outside the formation," the swordmaster said.
"There's a second Nascent Soul cultivator on Dragon Island other than you, Swordmaster?!" The Daoist Tongzheng was shocked. At the same time, he became worried. "It's such a coincidence that he appeared at this time. I wonder what he's after …"
"I'll go out and take a look." The swordmaster's expression gradually calmed down.
.....
Ripples suddenly appeared in the misty clouds. After the clouds and mist dispersed, a one-armed middle-aged male cultivator flew out.
"Who are you?" The swordmaster hovered in the air and sized up the four people in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
The lineup was strange. The leader was a Nascent Soul cultivator. As for the other three cultivators, two were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one … Huh?
The swordmaster frowned.
That was because he could not see through the cultivation base of the extremely beautiful female cultivator at the end.
'Is she a great cultivator whose cultivation base exceeds the Nascent Soul stage?'
The swordmaster shook his head inwardly.
It did not seem like it. Even if he could not see through the cultivation base of a cultivator with a higher cultivation base than him, their aura should not be like this female cultivator.
Just as the swordmaster was pondering, Lu Qingshan stepped forward and explained, "We're Master Mo's friends. We heard that the Dragonslaying Saber is preparing to slay a dragon today, so we came to help."
The swordmaster was stunned. "Mo Yan's friends?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"Wait a moment. I'll call Mo Yan out," the swordmaster said decisively.
If this was true, it would mean that they would have another Nascent Soul cultivator to fight against the Flood Dragon Clan, which would increase their chances of victory.
A moment later, Mo Yan flew out of the array with a look of surprise. "Why are you here?"
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything and gave his seat to Xue Zhuyong.
It was up to Xue Zhuyong to decide what to say.
Mo Yan was stunned. Xue Zhuyong's face gave him a familiar feeling.
Isn't this the shopkeeper of the carving shop? A Nascent Soul cultivator?!
Mo Yan carefully recalled and finally recognized Xue Zhuyong's identity. At that time, although it was just a casual glance, but the eidetic memory of cultivators allowed him to remember Xue Zhuyong's appearance.
Xue Zhuyong stared blankly at Mo Yan, unable to speak for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said to Mo Yan with some difficulty, "I heard from Lu Qingshan that you are preparing to attack the Flood Dragon Demon King.
The Flood Dragon Clan is so cruel, and there are quite a lot of disagreements between me and them. What's more, as a human, it's my duty to suppress and kill the Demon Clan that kills the common people. Therefore, I'm willing to participate in this dragon slaying operation to help you. "
In the end, for some reason, Xue Zhuyong still didn't choose to directly acknowledge Mo Yan.
Mo Yan was a little confused by Xue Zhuyong's burning gaze. He shook his head and looked at Lu Qingshan with an inquiring gaze.
Lu Qingshan nodded to Mo Yan and didn't say anything.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Lu Qingshan, Mo Yan transmitted his voice to the Blademaster and explained, "Those three young cultivators went to the Dragon Pool with me to destroy it. The people they brought should be trustworthy."
The Blademaster received Mo Yan's voice transmission and understood. He said to Xue Zhuyong in a clear voice, "This battle is unpredictable and extremely dangerous. It is very righteous of you to be willing to help. How should I address you?"
"Xue Zhuyong." Family Head Xue said indifferently.
The Blademaster called Xue Zhuyong and led him and Lu Qingshan into the formation.
Cultivators gathered in the formation.
The Blademaster first introduced Xue Zhuyong to the cultivators before privately discussing the dragon slaying operation with Xue Zhuyong.
"When we fight the Flood Dragon Demon King, Fellow Xue Zhuyong just needs to cooperate with me to tie him down. We have our own arrangements …" Although Mo Yan was the guarantor, the Blademaster didn't reveal the arrangement of the Dragon Slaying Saber. He just briefly introduced the general situation and discussed the mission with Xue Zhuyong.
"I have no problem." Xue Zhuyong said straightforwardly.
On the other side.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, who is Perfected Cultivator Xue?" Mo Yan asked Lu Qingshan.
On the entire Jiao Dragon Island, he had always thought that their Dragon Slaying Saber Master was the only Nascent Soul cultivator. Who would have thought that Lu Qingshan, a foreign cultivator, would mysteriously bring another Nascent Soul cultivator? This puzzled him greatly.
"If he doesn't want to say it, then it's not convenient for me to say anything." Lu Qingshan explained, "However, Master Mo, don't worry. He's definitely sincere in helping the Dragon Slaying Saber."
"Of course I believe in the person brought by Fellow Daoist Lu." Mo Yan laughed heartily and then asked, "But, are the three of you also going to participate in this dragon slaying operation?"
"Why? You don't welcome us?" Hidden Sword waved his fist at Mo Yan.
"Of course you're welcome, but I didn't expect that the two of you, who are not from the Dragon Island, would be willing to take the risk to participate in this matter that doesn't have any benefits." Mo Yan cupped his hands and said.
Lu Qingshan touched his nose and didn't say anything more.
Indeed, Hidden Sword had a pure heart. However, the reason why he chose to stay and participate in the Dragon-slaying Battle was not that simple. Other than the fact that he also wanted to kill the Flood Dragon Clan, the main reason was that the Three-Foot Edge was in Xue Zhuyong's hands.
According to the original timeline, Xue Zhuyong would bring the Three-Foot Edge to fight the Flood Dragon Demon King two months later. After this battle, the Three-Foot Edge would disappear.
He was worried that this time, the Three-Foot Edge would also mysteriously disappear.
Therefore, for the sake of the Three-Foot Edge, he had to be present and witness the entire battle.
Lu Qingshan naturally knew how risky it was.
However, how could there be such a beautiful thing in the world if he wanted to obtain benefits without taking a certain risk?
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh softly.
His initial plan was to find Xue Zhuyong and obtain the Three-Foot Edge before the battle between him and the Flood Dragon Demon King.
Unexpectedly, he found Xue Zhuyong, but the battle between Xue Zhuyong and the Flood Dragon Demon King was still unavoidable. Moreover, he was the one who instigated the battle.
.....
Next, he just had to wait for the Flood Dragon Demon King to arrive.
It was rare for him to have some free time. Lu Qingshan found a hidden place and took out the white jade bottle filled with Dragon Transformation Liquid. He circulated the Ruins Ending Sutra and began to absorb the Dragon Transformation Liquid.
Before the battle began, he had to increase his strength.
'Absorbing Dragon Transformation Liquid. Obtained bonus from the Tao-level cultivation method, Ruins Ending Sutra. Absorption speed increased: 100% … Absorption complete. Conversion obtained 43,700 experience points.'
Before long, the bottle of Dragon Transformation Liquid was emptied.
Lu Qingshan had obtained the largest amount of experience points he had ever seen.
With the fierce battle with the Flood Dragon Tribe right before his eyes, Lu Qingshan naturally had no intention of saving experience points. Without hesitation, he began to use the experience points to increase his combat strength.
Increasing the cultivation method's level would increase his Spiritual Energy Value. It was always the most cost-effective choice, and also the most important choice.
'Ruins Ending Sutra leveled up to Level 11. Spiritual Energy Value + 100!'
.....
'Ruins Ending Sutra leveled up to Level 13. Spiritual Energy Value + 100!'
'Your rank has increased to Late-stage Foundation Establishment. Divine Sense + 10!'
.....
'Ruins Ending Sutra leveled up to Level 18. Spiritual Energy Value + 100!'
'Ruins Ending Sutra leveled up to Level 19. Spiritual Energy Value + 100!'
'Your rank has increased to Complete Foundation Establishment. Divine Sense + 10!'
'Ruins Ending Sutra leveled up to Level 20 (max)! This cultivation method has been raised to the highest level. Additional Spiritual Energy Value + 1000. Mastered cultivation method ability: Power of the Mountains and Seas! '
[Power of the Mountains and Seas]
Description: Devours the power of the mountains and seas within a radius of ten miles to strengthen oneself. However, as a price, the mountains and seas whose power has been devoured will lose all vitality and turn into barren wastelands.
Additional description: The range of the devouring power of the mountains and seas will increase as the rank of the cultivator increases.
Casting Consumption: None
Cooldown Time: 1 day
…
'Your Spiritual Energy Value limit has exceeded 3,000. Talent [Spiritual Energy Control] (Intermediate) has leveled up to [Spiritual Energy Control] (Advanced)!'
[Spiritual Energy Control] (Advanced): The increase in your cultivation allows your control over your spiritual energy to become more exquisite. Spiritual Energy Control + 3 (Current bonus: Spiritual Energy Increase + 30%)
'It has been detected that you have reached the upper limit of your current rank. You can choose the Golden Elixir Advancement Mission!'
'Please choose the difficulty of the Golden Elixir Advancement Mission (Grade-1 to Grade-9, with the highest being Grade-9). Note that the higher the difficulty of the Advancement Mission, the greater the bonus obtained from the advancement. The higher the quality of the Golden Elixir obtained.'
Starting from the Golden Elixir, one could freely choose the difficulty of the Advancement Mission.
This was because the quality of the Golden Elixir obtained by cultivators could be subdivided into one to nine patterns.
The higher the quality of the Golden Elixir, the greater the bonus it would bring to the cultivator.
A nine-pattern Golden Elixir Daoist was definitely much stronger than a one-pattern Golden Elixir Daoist.
This was also the reason why players could not just focus on increasing their cultivation. They also had to take into account the level of their skills.
If the level of their skills was not high enough, their combat power would naturally be weaker. Hence, they could only choose the Advancement Mission with a lower difficulty.
If the quality of the Golden Elixir obtained was not high, the bonus obtained from the Advancement Mission would be weaker than others. In the long run, the gap between the player's combat power and other players of the same rank would grow bigger and bigger.
This was the difference between the so-called prodigy cultivators and ordinary cultivators.
In his previous life, even as one of the top ten Sword Cultivator players, Lu Qingshan had only obtained a seven-pattern Golden Elixir during the Golden Elixir.
However, this time, with the foundation of the Daoist technique, the Ruin's Return Scripture, and many powerful sword techniques, Lu Qingshan was much more confident than before.
He wanted to obtain the highest-quality nine-pattern Golden Elixir!
'Choose the Grade-9 Advancement Mission!'
'Received the Grade-9 Advancement Mission [Nine-Pattern Golden Elixir].'
[Nine-Pattern Golden Elixir]: 1. Learn a Golden Elixir technique (Technique level cannot be lower than Heaven Rank).
2. Kill enemies of the same rank (0/100). Kill enemies of a higher rank (0/3).
3. Master the talent [Spiritual Power Control] (Advanced).
4. Reach the first stage of the Consolidating Energy Realm (44100).
There were a total of four mission conditions to obtain a nine-pattern Golden Elixir. The first was the rigid requirement of the technique. After all, if one practiced a Mortal Rank or Spiritual Rank technique, it was indeed unreasonable to want to obtain a nine-pattern Golden Elixir.
The second mission condition was the nature of the trial mission. The difficulty was to kill a hundred enemies of the same rank. The difficulty was to find such a large number of enemies of the same rank.
As for killing three enemies of a higher rank, the difficulty was in the quality of the enemies.
Killing enemies of a higher rank was never easy.
This mission was not easy. However, perhaps with the help of this Dragon Slaying Battle, he had a chance to complete more than half of the target.
The last two mission conditions were the requirements of the cultivator's own Dharmic powers and Divine Sense. Practicing the Ultimate Scripture made Lu Qingshan's Spiritual Power purer than the average cultivator. Therefore, in terms of Spiritual Power, Lu Qingshan had already met the requirements.
The difficult part was the Spirit Realm.
The first stage of the Spirit Realm was the Consolidating Energy Realm. Cultivators in this stage could condense their soul into a Primordial Spirit and could see the Primordial Spirit through inner vision.
The entry condition for this stage was to have a Divine Sense of a hundred.
If one did not practice any techniques to train the Divine Sense and relied solely on the increase of the Divine Sense, a Perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator's Divine Sense could only reach forty points. It was far from the Consolidating Energy Realm.
In fact, the Spirit Consolidating Energy Realm was the same as Spiritual Power Control (Advanced). It was an ability that belonged to the Golden Elixir Daoist.
The meaning of this advancement mission was also very simple and clear. Only by cultivating Dharmic powers and Divine Sense to the level of a Golden Elixir Daoist in the Foundation Establishment Stage would one have the qualifications and ability to condense the highest quality nine-pattern Golden Elixir!
He spent a total of 190,000 experience points to raise the Ultimate Scripture from level 10 to the upper limit of level 20.
Looking at the remaining 210,000 experience points in the Experience Bar, Lu Qingshan began to raise the level of his skills.
Under the effect of the two talents, Innate Sword Seed and Elementary Sword Technique Affinity, Lu Qingshan invested 50,000 experience points in the Flying Sword Technique and raised it to the highest level, level 20.
Because he used the Wind Slayer Secret Sword often, its current status was level 1 (15002000). Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and invested nearly 20,000 experience points to raise it to level 5.
Every time the Wind Slayer Secret Sword was raised by a level, its two additional damage would increase by 5% and the cooldown would decrease by 5 seconds.
[Secret Sword – Wind Slayer] level 5 (012000)
Skill Effect: Consumes 10% of the maximum Spiritual Power. The next attack will deal two additional damage. The second attack will deal 80% of the original damage and the third attack will deal 50% of the original damage.
Additional Effect: The two additional attacks will have an additional attack effect.
Cooldown: 2 minutes 40 seconds.
…
In addition, Lu Qingshan spent 50,000 experience points to raise the Shapeless Sword Evasion to level 5.
At this level, the Shapeless Sword Evasion could travel with the Flying Sword up to 600 feet.
Of the remaining 150,000 EXP, Lu Qingshan only kept 10,000 EXP for emergencies. He invested the rest into the Primordial Spirit Sword Manipulation Technique.
"Flying Sword Technique raised to level 3, Divine Sense + 2!"
…
"Flying Sword Technique raised to level 6, Divine Sense + 5!"
…
"Flying Sword Technique raised to level 10, Divine Sense + 5!"
