Chapter 1 January Time
A chaotic strip stretching for thousands of miles is constantly expanding and contracting.
This is one of the boundary walls between Huangquan and the sky.
The streamer transformed by Lu Qingshan landed slowly in front of the boundary wall.
Longque's breaking method is like crossing the boundary of Jiuyou Kanyutu. It uses Longque's own mana, so it takes a certain amount of time to recover.
The recovery time of breaking the law will take one month.
That is to say, after sending Ji Chuan to the barren world, Lu Qingshan will stay in Huangquan for a month.
Fortunately, he has the talent of eclipsing spirits, which makes him no longer afraid of the existence of death in Huangquan.
…………
For most monks in the Nascent Soul stage, one month is really nothing, not even enough for them to practice a technique to the beginning.
But for Lu Qingshan, it was enough for him to settle down.
In order to awaken the more powerful daozang supernatural powers, Lu Qingshan chooses to deliberately suppress the speed of his cultivation base improvement before the artistic conception is improved.
Now that all the dust has settled, he has no scruples.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and immediately a magnificent crystal in the shape of a cylinder appeared in his palm.
There is a liquid spirit flowing in the crystal, which makes people dizzy.
This is a spirit crystal that is worth the entire net worth of a weak infant monk.
The most common use of spirit crystals is for monks to absorb the pure spiritual power when they encounter a bottleneck in their practice, so as to try to break through.
Because of its high value and wide versatility, it is extremely difficult to depreciate, so it is often used as currency by high-level monks.
For Lu Qingshan, Spirit Crystal has an additional function...
"Great Experience Pill", this is an alias for Spirit Crystal in the players' mouths.
A spirit crystal can be converted into 50,000 experience points if all of it is absorbed.
And because the spiritual power contained in the spirit crystal is extremely pure, it usually doesn't take too long to absorb and refine a spirit crystal.
"In the previous life, it was a luxurious treatment that only krypton gold players could enjoy." Lu Qingshan showed a faint smile on his face.
Converting spirit crystals into experience points is the least cost-effective option in the way of using spirit crystals.
The simplest example is to use a spirit crystal to buy a talisman, then download a dungeon, throw the purchased talisman into the dungeon, and call it a day. The experience points gained will definitely far exceed 50,000 points.
But there is also an obvious advantage in converting spirit crystals into experience points.
That's saving time.
The krypton gold local tyrants don't have the mind to sweep through the dungeons one by one, and they don't have the leisure time to complete the missions.
They only need to buy a bunch of spirit crystals, and they can spend extravagantly and wasted experience points.
This is equivalent to spending a lot of resources to quickly improve one's cultivation.
…………
No more thinking about it, Lu Qingshan performed the Jietian Sword Sutra, and the pure spiritual power contained in the spirit crystal was quickly absorbed and refined by him.
The crystal clear spiritual crystal gradually turned gray as the spiritual power was absorbed.
A quarter of an hour later, the spirit crystal in Lu Qingshan's hand had lost all its luster, it looked gray, and could no longer see the slightest magic from before.
And his experience value has increased by 50,000 points.
Seeing the empty spirit crystal in his hand, Lu Qingshan was slightly absent-minded.
The speed of refining spirit crystals is indeed very fast, but it has never been so fast...
Is this the power of Dao-level exercises?
Lu Qingshan murmured.
His movements didn't stop, and soon, another spirit crystal appeared in his hand.
Lu Qingshan became cruel, this time he must increase his combat power by a large amount, regardless of consumption.
Don't be afraid of spending too many resources, as long as you have the strength, you will earn back ten times and a hundred times sooner or later.
Most importantly, the clock is ticking.
Lu Qingshan has always had an extremely urgent need to improve his strength, as if there was a terrifying beast chasing him behind him.
A quarter of an hour later, the refining of the second spirit crystal was completed.
The experience value stored by Lu Qingshan reached 990,000,
Close to seven figures for the first time.
Not satisfied, he took out another spirit crystal.
Five hours later, the forty spirit crystals had been transformed into two million experience points.
And Lu Qingshan is still going on.
In the process of absorbing and refining spiritual power wholeheartedly, time passes the fastest.
Even Lu Qingshan himself didn't realize that the spirit crystal in the storage ring was about to bottom out before he knew it.
When there were only the last five spirit crystals left, Lu Qingshan came back to his senses and stopped refining the spirit crystals.
The leader of the seven realms of theory rewarded him with a total of one hundred spirit crystals.
Afterwards, Qingzhou Zhishoulou also sent the three spirit crystals that had been agreed earlier.
A total of one hundred and three spirit crystals.
Lu Qingshan previously spent ten spirit crystals in Jianzong to buy the spiritual materials needed for peach blossoms to improve their quality, but this time, only five spirit crystals remained.
The remaining spirit crystals were all converted into experience points.
A total of eighty-eight spirit crystals were consumed, a terrifying asset that even a cultivator of Void Refining could not afford.
Such a huge effort brought Lu Qingshan a huge amount of experience points.
4.4 million experience points!
Adding the 890,000 experience points previously stored, Lu Qingshan now has a total of 5.29 million experience points.
An extremely scary number.
You must know that even if you are practicing Dao-level exercises, Lu Qingshan only needs 10 million experience points to upgrade the entire Nascent Soul Stage exercises.
...
With the experience points, the most important thing right now is to improve your cultivation.
Without being stingy at all, Lu Qingshan directly invested two million experience points in the exercises.
The momentum in his body immediately began to climb.
"[Jietian Sword Sutra] (Yuanying Chapter) has been upgraded to LV2, spiritual power +10000!"
…
"[Jie Tian Jian Jing] (Yuan Ying chapter) has been upgraded to lv5, and the spiritual power value is +10000!"
Inexplicable spiritual power emerged out of thin air from Lu Qingshan's meridians.
The Nascent Soul in his dantian sat cross-legged, pinched his hands in mudras, and assumed a posture of cultivation, constantly absorbing these inexplicable spiritual powers.
Then, after absorbing a huge amount of spiritual power, Lu Qingshan's Nascent Soul form gradually solidified.
The transparent body is gradually transitioning to translucency.
In just a moment, he had reached the peak cultivation level of Yuan Ying's early stage.
A spiritual force nearly twice as vigorous as before swam through his body.
Since the establishment of the foundation, Lu Qingshan has practiced Dao-level exercises, so the quality and quantity of spiritual power far exceeds that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Calculated according to the base number and coefficient, his basic cultivation level is equivalent to that of a first-rank weak infant monk whose cultivation level is four times that of the Nascent Soul's initial cultivation level.
Jue Dian Nascent Soul's combat power increase is nine.
That is to say, excluding other factors such as spells, artistic conception, and magic tools, Lu Qingshan already has thirty-six times the combat power of the initial Nascent Soul (first-rank weak infant) in terms of cultivation.
With this kind of cultivation strength, even if Lu Qingshan only has the cultivation base of the initial stage of Yuanying, it is enough to surpass most of the Yuanying Dzogchen monks.
Lu Qingshan clenched his fist secretly, but his promotion continued.
Primordial Spirit Controlling Sword Technique is the only method that can temper the primordial spirit among the techniques he currently masters.
Because Yujianshu is one of the most frequently used methods, even if Lu Qingshan hasn't deliberately practiced it, Yuanshen Yujianshu is already close to lv15 at this time.
With a huge amount of experience points in his hand, Lu Qingshan invested another 200,000 experience points in Yuanshen Yujian without hesitation.
"Yuanshen Yujian has been raised to lv15, divine sense +10!"
"Yuanshen Yujian has been upgraded to lv16, and divine consciousness +20!"
…
"The Primordial God's sword control skills have been raised to lv20, and the divine sense has been increased to +20!"
Under the double experience value reduction of [Natural Sword Species] and [Swordsmanship Affinity] (intermediate level), Lu Qingshan only spent 200,000 experience points, and another sword technique was upgraded to the theoretical full level by him .
"Most of the experience points are useless..." Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and had a choice in his mind.
"The invisible sword escape has been raised to lv6... The invisible sword escape has been raised to lv10... The invisible sword escape has been raised to lv20!"
This improvement once again cost Lu Qingshan about 300,000 experience points.
And on the panel, the level of the invisible sword escape has also reached the theoretical full level.
Invisible Sword Escape: After activating this skill, the sword cultivator can fly with the flying sword for a short distance, the current maximum accompanying flight distance: 300 feet.
Three hundred feet, roughly equivalent to a distance of one kilometer.
This can already be regarded as a breakthrough distance of great strategic value.
With the speed of Lu Qingshan's flying sword, one kilometer is really an instant.
With this skill, he can rush to the enemy's face before the other monks have reacted, and he is hard to guard against.
There is still a lot of experience to spare.
"You spend 99.75w experience points, natal sword: dragon bird level increase: LV4 (0200w) --- all sword skills performed through this natal sword damage +50%!"
"You spend 49.92w experience points, natal sword: Peach Blossom level increase: LV4 (0100w) --- all sword skills performed through this natal sword damage +25%!"
"You spend 100w experience points, natal sword: Peach Blossom level increase: LV5 (0250w) --- all sword skills performed through this natal sword damage +35%!"
In Lu Qingshan's dantian, on the Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged, in the sword aperture, at this moment, countless dense light spots suddenly emerged, flocking to the dragon bird hidden in it.
Similarly, a small part of these light spots containing Lu Qingshan's energy and spirit poured into the Peach Blossom Sword contained in the Nascent Soul!
The halos immediately flowed on the two natal swords, they were constantly absorbing the strong light spots, and the blades buzzed.
clang! clang!
Accompanied by two clear and sweet chants, a flash of light lingered on the swords of Peach Blossom and Dragon Sparrow, their shapes hazy and sublimated.
After a while, it finally stabilized.
The two natal swords were upgraded at the same time.
Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that his connection with Taohua and Longque was much closer.
"What about me? What about me? I want it too, I want it too!" Looking eagerly at Longque and Taohua absorbing these energy light spots and getting promoted, but he has not waited for Gu Yiyi, who came to Lu Qingshan to favor him, I was so wronged that I was about to cry.
"Lu Qingshan, why are you so proficient? How many times have you done this with them?!
And why are you so proficient and not mine? How far do you have to throw me away before you are willing! "
Lu Qingshan slapped his forehead and apologized: "According to the order of arrival, naturally the two of them came first, but when it was your turn, they happened to disappear again."
"Aww..." Gu Yiyi couldn't stand the grievance.
"But..." Lu Qingshan showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "I can force you to squeeze a little..."
"Really?" Gu Yiyi stopped crying, full of expectation.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"You spend 0.92w experience points, natal sword: Wangchuan level increase: LV2 (010w) --- all sword skills performed through this natal sword damage +20%!"
There are also many light spots generated, rushing towards the river of forgetfulness.
"Come on, come on..." Gu Yiyi burst into tears and laughed, constantly absorbing these light spots that contained Lu Qingshan's spirit.
As for the fact that the number of these light spots is much different from that of Longque and Peach Blossom, it was automatically ignored by the overjoyed Gu Yiyi.
This trick is called advancing with retreat.
If Wang Chuan was directly given this 10,000 experience points, Gu Yiyi would definitely be annoyed, feeling that Lu Qingshan favored one over another.
And Lu Qingshan chooses to pretend not to give Gu Yiyi any experience points, and after Gu Yiyi accepts this fact, he will set aside the 10,000 experience points.
In this case, Gu Yiyi not only didn't have the slightest grievance, but was even a little silly and happy, thinking that he had made a lot of money...
...
After finishing all this, Lu Qingshan took out the four precious spiritual materials that had been prepared long ago from the storage ring, dry dragon wood, earth dragon essence, mutton fat white jade, and Bauhinia divine copper.
He used his spiritual power to control these spiritual materials to float in the air.
Lu Qingshan is going to complete the quality improvement of peach blossoms here:
[Peach Blossom] Quality: Mid-Rank Celestial Artifact (Sword Embryo, can be upgraded)
Current upgrade needs: sword level greater than lv4, two taels of dry dragon wood, six taels of Bauhinia god copper, nine taels of mutton fat white jade essence, and four taels of earth dragon essence.
…………
As soon as Lu Qingshan stretched out his hand, a dusty flying sword flew out, turning into a sword light and piercing into those precious materials.
It is peach blossom.
He chi chi chi!
With a movement of the heart, the surface of the peach blossoms suddenly shone with spiritual light, creating a strong suction force.
At the same time, a large number of light spots of different colors emerged from the precious spiritual materials of the four flavors.
These light spots are the essence of these four kinds of spiritual materials. They are like stars, rising continuously, and then pouring into the peach blossoms.
Under the influx of these light spots, the power of Peach Blossom itself became stronger and stronger.
After about a quarter of an hour.
clang!
Taohua's sword suddenly began to tremble violently, and the speed at which she absorbed the essence of spiritual materials also increased several times.
Lu Qingshan knew that this was the critical moment for peach blossoms to transform.
The volumes of the four spiritual materials, Dry Dragon Wood, Earth Dragon Essence, Suet White Jade, and Bauhinia Bronze, are shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When these spiritual materials were refined and absorbed more than 50%, finally no light spots emerged from them, and they were just some useless waste, the essence had already been extracted by the peach blossoms.
At this time, the peach blossom sword flashed with a luster like water, like mist like jade.
After a while, the tremor of the blade finally stopped.
The peach blossoms that were originally gray were now a little more green like clear water, and there seemed to be a terrifying power accumulating in them.
【Peach Blossom】
Quality: Top-grade Celestial Artifact (Sword Embryo, can be upgraded)
Current upgrade needs: sword level greater than lv7, Canxing silver four taels, gilt sand nine taels, blood thread silver seven taels, emerald copper ten catties.
Level: lv5 (0300w) - [All sword skills performed through this natal sword damage +42%]
…
"A high-grade celestial weapon..." Lu Qingshan beckoned, and the peach blossoms fell into his hands.
The three-foot-long peach blossoms are not as stunning in appearance as the dragonfinch, they look very simple and unpretentious, but the power within them must not be underestimated.
Feeling that Longque and Peach Blossom had been greatly improved, Lu Qingshan was also extremely happy in his heart.
"Try to see how powerful my flying sword is now." With a movement in his heart, the dragon sparrow and peach blossom shot out immediately, turning into two streamers of light, one red and one green, moving continuously in the air, causing bursts of roar ll.
"Dragon Bird, forty times the speed of sound, Peach Blossom, twenty-eight times the speed of sound." Lu Qingshan murmured.
This is the speed of flying swords that Longque and Peach Blossom can achieve without any power of artistic conception attached to him.
We must know that the power of the flying sword displayed by the ordinary Nascent Soul Dzogchen Sword Cultivator may not necessarily be able to reach the general state of the dragon bird.
…………
In fact, at Lu Qingshan's level, the power of the flying sword is mainly determined by three factors, one's own cultivation, sword intent, and magic weapon.
Cultivation is the foundation, the source of the flying sword technique, and the sword intent is the soul. With the soul, the power of the flying sword technique can be further improved.
The sword itself is also extremely important.
The power of the flying sword performed by the Taoist instrument is naturally extraordinary.
In fact, the most important wealth in a sword repairer's body is the natal sword.
After all this fuss, there are still 290,000 experience points left on the panel, Lu Qingshan will not use them anymore, and keep them for emergencies.
"The next step is to familiarize yourself with your skyrocketing strength." Lu Qingshan murmured.
It took him only a few days from the late stage of Jindan to the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul. The span is so large that it takes some time to stabilize his cultivation.
.........
As time passed day by day, in the silent world of Huangquan, Lu Qingshan's practice seemed to be orderly.
Just when he completely controlled his soaring power, a month finally passed.
"It's time to go back."
Standing in front of the boundary wall with the dragon bird in his hand, Lu Qingshan swung the long sword in his hand.
The fault stagnates, and then suddenly expands, the membrane of the boundary wall is instantly broken, and a space channel appears.
Without hesitation, Lu Qingshan stepped into the space passage.
