A long strip of Chaos, which stretched for thousands of miles, had been expanding and shrinking.
This was one of the barriers between the Yellow Springs and the Blue Dome of Heaven.
Lu Qingshan slowly descended in front of the boundary wall as a stream of light.
The Dragon Sparrow's technique was similar to the Geomancy Map of the Nine Nether. It used the Dragon Sparrow's own magic power, so it needed a certain amount of time to recover.
The recovery time needed to break the technique was one month.
In other words, after sending Ji Chuan to the Deserted World, Lu Qingshan still had to stay in the Yellow Springs for one month.
Fortunately, he had the Spirit Devouring Talent, so he didn't have to fear the Yellow Springs' death aura.
…
For most Nascent Soul cultivators, one month wasn't much. It wasn't even enough for them to cultivate a spell to the Beginner level.
But for Lu Qingshan, it was enough for him to settle down.
In order to awaken more powerful Daoist Scriptures, Lu Qingshan chose to deliberately slow down his cultivation speed before his intent level increased.
Now that everything was settled, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat, and a beautiful cylindrical crystal immediately appeared in his palm.
There was liquid spirit essence flowing within the crystal, dazzling the eyes.
This was a Spirit Crystal that was equivalent to the entire wealth of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The most common use of a Spirit Crystal was for a cultivator to absorb the pure spirit energy within when they reached a bottleneck in their cultivation and try to break through.
Because it was expensive, versatile, and difficult to devalue, it was often used as a currency by high-level cultivators.
For Lu Qingshan, Spirit Crystals had an additional use …
"Great Experience Pill", this was another name for Spirit Crystals.
One Spiritual Crystal could be converted into 50,000 EXP after absorbing all of it.
And because the spirit energy contained within Spirit Crystals was extremely pure, it didn't take too long to absorb and refine one Spirit Crystal.
"In my previous life, this was a luxury that only players with money could enjoy." A faint smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.
Converting Spirit Crystals into Experience Points was the least cost-effective way to use Spirit Crystals.
The simplest example was to use a Spiritual Crystal to buy a Talisman, then enter an Instance Dungeon and throw all the purchased Talismans into the Instance Dungeon. After finishing the Instance Dungeon, the EXP gained would definitely be far more than 50,000 points.
But there was an obvious advantage to converting Spirit Crystals into Experience Points.
That was to save time.
Rich players didn't have the time to clear dungeons one by one, and they didn't have the time to do quests.
They only needed to buy a pile of Spirit Crystals to be able to earn Experience Points in an extravagant and wasteful manner.
This was equivalent to spending a large amount of resources to quickly improve one's cultivation.
…
Without further thought, Lu Qingshan circulated the Sky Severing Sword Manual, and the pure spiritual energy contained within the Spirit Crystal was quickly absorbed and refined by him.
The Spirit Crystal's Spirit Crystal gradually turned gray as it was absorbed Spirit energy Spirit Spirit Crystals of the Of Spirit Crystals.
..... of of the Spirit crystals of the Spirit of the of the Spirit of Spirit of Spirit crystals..................................
On the other hand, his EXP had increased by 50,000 points.
Lu Qingshan Spirit of Spirit was a little dazed as he looked at the empty shell of the Spirit of Spirit Crystal in his hand.
The speed of refining Spirit Crystals was indeed very fast, but it had never been this fast …
'Is this the power of a Daoist Technique?'
Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
He didn't stop there. Soon, another Spirit Crystal appeared in his hand.
Lu Qingshan made up his mind. This time, he must increase his combat strength by a large margin, regardless of the cost.
He was not afraid of spending a lot of resources. As long as he was strong enough, he would earn back ten times or a hundred times sooner or later.
Most importantly, time and tide waited for no man.
Lu Qingshan had always had an extremely urgent need to increase his strength. It was as if there was a terrifying beast chasing after him.
.. Fifteen minutes later, the refinement of the second Spirit Crystal was completed.
Lu Qingshan's Experience Points had reached 990,000. This was the first time it was close to seven digits.
He wasn't satisfied and took out another Spirit Crystal.
Ten hours later, 40 Spirit Crystals had been converted into 2,000,000 Experience Points.
Lu Qingshan was still going on.
In the process of wholeheartedly absorbing and refining spiritual energy, time passed the fastest.
Even Lu Qingshan himself didn't realize that the Spirit Crystals in his storage ring were almost empty.
When there were only five Spirit Crystals left, Lu Qingshan came back to his senses and stopped refining the Spirit Crystals.
The champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion had rewarded him with a total of 100 Spirit Crystals.
After that, the Qingzhou Zhishou Building also sent over the three Spirit Crystals that they had agreed on earlier.
There were a total of 103 Spirit Crystals.
Lu Qingshan had previously spent 10 Spirit Crystals to buy the spiritual materials needed to improve the quality of the peach blossoms in the Sword Sect. This time, he only kept five Spirit Crystals.
The remaining Spirit Crystals were all converted into Experience Points.
He spent a total of 88 Spirit Crystals, a terrifying amount that even a Void Refinement realm cultivator couldn't afford.
Such a huge price brought Lu Qingshan a huge amount of Experience Points.
4,400,000 Experience Points!
In addition to the 890,000 Experience Points that he had originally stored, Lu Qingshan now had a total of 5,290,000 Experience Points.
It was an extremely terrifying number.
One had to know that even if he cultivated a Dao-level cultivation method, Lu Qingshan only spent 10 million Experience Points to upgrade the entire Nascent Soul cultivation method.
...
With the Experience Points, the most important thing now was to improve his cultivation.
Without the slightest bit of stinginess, Lu Qingshan directly invested 2,000,000 Experience Points into the cultivation method.
The aura around his body began to rise.
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual (Nascent Soul section) has been upgraded to Level 2, Spiritual Energy Value + 10000!"
.....
"Heaven-Piercing Sword Manual (Nascent Soul section) has been upgraded to Level 5, Spiritual Energy Value + 10000!"
Inexplicable Spirit Qi emerged out of thin air from Lu Qingshan's meridians.
The Nascent Soul in his dantian sat cross-legged and formed a seal with its small hands, assuming a cultivation posture as it continuously absorbed the inexplicable Spirit Qi.
Then, after absorbing a huge amount of Spirit Qi, Lu Qingshan's Nascent Soul form began to gradually solidify.
His transparent body was gradually transitioning to translucency.
In just a moment, his cultivation had reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
A wave of Spirit Qi that was nearly twice as powerful as before flowed through his body.
Since he built his foundation, Lu Qingshan cultivated a Dao-level cultivation method. Therefore, in terms of quality and quantity of Spirit Qi, he far surpassed ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
According to the base and coefficient, his basic cultivation was equivalent to four times that of a first-grade weak Nascent Soul cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
The combat strength increase of a Nascent Soul was nine.
In other words, excluding other factors such as spells, intents, and artifacts, in terms of cultivation alone, Lu Qingshan already had 36 times the combat strength of an early Nascent Soul stage (first-grade weak Nascent Soul stage).
With this kind of combat strength, even if Lu Qingshan's cultivation was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, it was enough to defeat most perfected Nascent Soul cultivators.
Lu Qingshan secretly clenched his fists, but his improvement continued.
The Primordial Spirit Sword Wielding Art was the only spell that could temper the Primordial Spirit among the spells that he had mastered.
Because the Sword Wielding Art was one of the most frequently used spells, even if Lu Qingshan did not deliberately cultivate it, the Primordial Spirit Sword Wielding Art was now close to Lv15.
Lu Qingshan, who had a huge amount of experience points, did not hesitate to invest another 200,000 experience points into the Primordial Spirit Sword Wielding Art.
"Primordial Spirit Sword Wielding Art raised to Lv15, Divine Sense + 10!"
"Primordial Spirit Sword Wielding Art raised to Lv16, Divine Sense + 20!"
.....
"Primordial Spirit Sword Wielding Art raised to Lv20, Divine Sense + 20!"
With the double experience points reduction of [Natural Sword Seed] and [Sword Technique Affinity] (Intermediate), Lu Qingshan only spent 200,000 experience points to upgrade another sword-type spell to the theoretical maximum level.
"I still have more than half of the experience points that I haven't used …" Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. He had already made a choice in his heart.
"Shapeless Sword Release raised to Lv6 … Shapeless Sword Release raised to Lv10 … Shapeless Sword Release raised to Lv20!"
This upgrade cost Lu Qingshan another 300,000 experience points.
On the interface, the level of Shapeless Sword Release had also reached the theoretical maximum level.
Shapeless Sword Release: After activating this skill, the sword cultivator can fly a short distance with the flying sword. Current maximum flying distance: 3,000 feet.
3,000 feet was equivalent to a distance of one kilometer.
This could already be considered to be an extremely strategic distance to advance.
With the speed of Lu Qingshan's flying sword, one kilometer was really covered in an instant.
With this skill, he could rush to the enemy's face before the other cultivators could react. It was impossible to guard against.
He still had a lot of experience points left.
"You spent 997,500 experience points. Natal Sword: Dragon Sparrow Level Upgrade: LV4 (0/2 million) — All sword skills performed through this Natal Sword have a + 50% damage!"
"You spent 499,200 experience points. Natal Sword: Peach Blossom Level Upgrade: LV4 (0/1 million) — All sword skills performed through this Natal Sword have a + 25% damage!"
"You spent 1,000,000 experience points. Natal Sword: Peach Blossom Level Upgrade: LV4 (0/2 million) — All sword skills performed through this Natal Sword have a + 35% damage!"
In Lu Qingshan's Dantian, on the Nascent Soul that was sitting cross-legged, countless dense light spots suddenly appeared in the sword aperture and surged towards the Dragon Sparrow hidden within.
Similarly, these light spots that contained Lu Qingshan's Essence, Qi, and Spirit also poured into the Peach Blossom Sword in the Nascent Soul!
The two Natal Swords were suddenly surrounded by a halo. They were constantly absorbing the dense light spots, and the sword body hummed.
Clang! Clang!
Accompanied by two clear and melodious sounds, the Peach Blossom and Dragon Sparrow swords were surrounded by a flickering light. Their shapes were hazy and sublimated.
After a moment, it finally stabilized.
The two Natal Swords had completed their upgrade at the same time.
Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that his connection with the Peach Blossom and Dragon Sparrow had become much closer.
"What about me? What about me? I want it too, I want it too! " Gu Yiyi watched helplessly as the Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom absorbed these energy light spots and improved. However, Lu Qingshan did not show his favor for a long time. She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
"Lu Qingshan, why are you so familiar with it? How many times have you done this with them?!
And why are you so familiar with it, but I still don't have a share? How far are you going to leave me in the dust before you are satisfied! "
Lu Qingshan slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "According to the order of arrival, the two of them naturally came first. It's just that when it was your turn, there was no one left."
"Oh, oh, oh …" Gu Yiyi could not bear this grievance.
"But …" Lu Qingshan's face showed that he was in a difficult position. "I can still squeeze some out for you …"
"Really?" Gu Yiyi stopped crying and was full of anticipation.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"You spent 0.92 million experience points. Natal Sword: Forgetfulness River Level Upgrade: LV2 (0.10 million) — All sword skills performed through this Natal Sword will have an additional 20% damage!"
Similarly, many light spots were generated and rushed toward the Forgetfulness River.
"Come on, come on …" Gu Yiyi suddenly smiled through her tears and kept absorbing these light spots that contained Lu Qingshan's essence.
As for the fact that the number of these light spots was much lower than the Dragon Sparrow and Peach Blossom, Gu Yiyi was overjoyed and automatically ignored it.
This was called retreating in order to advance.
If he directly gave the 10,000 experience points to the Forgetfulness River, Gu Yiyi would definitely feel indignant and feel that Lu Qingshan favored one and discriminated against the other.
Lu Qingshan chose to pretend that he did not give Gu Yiyi any experience points. After Gu Yiyi accepted this fact, he would then draw out the 10,000 experience points.
Under such circumstances, not only did Gu Yiyi not feel wronged, she was even a little silly and felt that she had gained a lot …
…
After finishing all of this, Lu Qingshan took out Withered Dragon Wood, Earth Dragon Essence, Sheep-Fat White Jade, and Purple Thorn Divine Copper from his storage ring.
Using his spirit energy, he controlled these spirit materials to float in the air.
Lu Qingshan prepared to complete the upgrade of the peach blossom's quality here.
[Peach Blossom]: Mid-grade Heaven Artifact (Sword Embryo, upgradeable)
Current Upgrade Requirements: Sword Level greater than LV4, 2 taels of Withered Dragon Wood, 6 taels of Purple Divine Copper, 9 taels of Sheep-Fat White Jade Essence, 4 taels of Earth Dragon Essence.
…
Lu Qingshan stretched out his hand, and a gray flying sword flew out, turning into a sword beam and piercing into the precious materials.
It was Peach Blossom.
Chi! Chi!
With a thought, the surface of the peach blossom shimmered with spiritual light, producing a powerful suction force.
At the same time, numerous specks of light of various colors emerged from the four precious spiritual materials.
These specks of light were the essence of the four spiritual materials. They were like stars, rising continuously and surging into the peach blossoms.
With the influx of these light spots, the power of the peach blossom itself became stronger and stronger.
About fifteen minutes later.
Clang!
The sword of the peach blossom suddenly began to tremble violently, and the speed at which it absorbed the essence of the spiritual materials also increased by several times.
Lu Qingshan knew that this was the critical moment of the peach blossom's transformation.
The Withered Dragon Wood, Earth Dragon Essence, Sheep-Fat White Jade Essence, and Purple Divine Copper were shrinking at a visible speed.
When more than 50% of these spiritual materials were refined and absorbed, there were finally no more specks of light appearing from them. They were only some useless waste, and their essence had long been absorbed by the peach blossom.
At this moment, the peach blossom sword flashed with a water-like luster, like mist and jade.
After a moment, the sword's trembling finally stopped.
The originally gray peach blossom had a hint of green like water at this moment, and there seemed to be terrifying power accumulating in it.
[Peach Blossom]
Quality: High-grade Heaven Artifact (Sword Embryo, upgradeable)
Current Upgrade Requirements: Sword Level greater than LV4, 4 taels of Brilliant Star Silver, 9 taels of Gilt Sand, 7 taels of Blood Vein Silver, 5 kilograms of Green Copper.
Level: LV4 (0/3 million) — [All sword skills displayed through this Natal Sword's damage + 42%]
.....
"High-grade Heaven Artifact …" Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and the peach blossom landed in his hand.
The three-foot-long peach blossom's appearance was not as breathtaking as the Dragon Sparrow's. It appeared very simple and unadorned, but its power could not be underestimated.
Sensing that the Dragon Sparrow and the peach blossom had been greatly improved, Lu Qingshan was also very happy.
"Let's see how powerful my Flying Sword is now." With a thought, the Dragon Sparrow and the peach blossom instantly shot out, turning into two streams of light, one red and one green. They kept moving in the air, bringing with them waves of rumbling sounds.
"Dragon Sparrow, 40 times the speed of sound. Peach Blossom, 28 times the speed of sound," Lu Qingshan muttered.
This was the speed of the Dragon Sparrow and the peach blossom's Flying Sword when he did not attach any wills to it.
It should be known that the power of the Flying Sword used by an ordinary perfected Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator might not necessarily be able to reach the Dragon Sparrow's standard.
…
In truth, at Lu Qingshan's level, the power of the Flying Sword was mainly determined by three factors: his own cultivation base, Sword Will, and the Artifact.
Cultivation base was the foundation, the source of the Flying Sword Art. The Sword Will was the soul. With the soul, the Flying Sword Art's power could reach a higher level.
The Sword Artifact itself was also extremely important.
The Flying Sword Art displayed through a Taoist Artifact naturally had extraordinary power.
In truth, the most important asset of a Sword Cultivator was his Natal Sword.
After doing this, there were still 290,000 experience points left on the Interface. Lu Qingshan did not use them, keeping them for emergencies.
"Next, it's time to familiarize myself with my skyrocketing power," Lu Qingshan muttered.
It had only been a few days since he reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage from the late stage of the Golden Elixir. With such a huge leap, he needed some time to stabilize his cultivation base.
.....
Time passed day by day. In the silent Yellow Springs World, Lu Qingshan's cultivation seemed to be methodical.
Just as he had completely gained control of his skyrocketing power, a month had finally passed.
"It's time to go back."
Holding the Dragon Sparrow in his hand, Lu Qingshan stood before the World Wall. He waved the longsword in his hand.
The fault paused for a moment, then suddenly expanded. The World Wall's membrane instantly broke open, and a Space Passage appeared.
Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and stepped into the Space Passage.
