Chapter 114: Material Problem (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Time flew.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

In the courtyard of the spiritual residence.

Feeling the Dantian Sea of Qi in his body that had almost expanded to its limit, Chen Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes and revealed a hint of joy on his face.

” I’ve finally broken through to the ninth qi layer.”

From the age of 16 to the age of 19, it had been more than three years.

Chen Daoxuan’s cultivation had soared from the third qi layer to the ninth qi layer, almost at the speed of two qi layers a year.

This cultivation speed was not inferior to some Heaven Spiritual Root cultivators with slightly inferior resources.

In the past six months.

Other than teaching Chen Daochu and the cultivators of the Dao generation how to refine artifacts, Chen Daoxuan also taught Chen Daolan how to refine pills.

It was thanks to the Primordial Dao Enlightenment Scripture’s ability to store comprehension.

Chen Daoxuan had already grasped most of the second-grade alchemy inheritance he had obtained from the female cultivators of the Yun Nation.

Not only that.

In the past half a year, he had also cultivated a Tier 1 spell to the Perfection Realm.

This Tier 1 spell was called Wind Blade.

It was the spell carried by the leopard puppet monster that Chen Daoxuan had plundered from the Mo Clan’s treasury.

As the most basic Tier 1 wind-type spell, Wind Blade was not considered powerful among all Tier 1 spells.

Its only advantage was its speed. Its casting speed was fast, and the trajectory of the Wind Blade after it was released was fast.

As for its power…

Chen Daoxuan had tested it.

The perfected Wind Blade Technique could not even break the Ice Endurance

Technique in his talisman.

Not to mention Chen Daoxuan’s ultimate move, the Wind and Rain Sword.

Of course.

Chen Daoxuan chose to cultivate this Tier 1 spell not for its power.

Instead, he used it to comprehend the wind dao pattern, which could also be called the wind laws.

In the cultivation world.

Cultivators divided spells into nine types according to their attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.

Apart from the basic five-element spells, spells of wind, lightning, light, and darkness were relatively rare.

As for ice-type spells, they were actually variations of water-type spells.

If one counted the various attributed spells derived from the five elements, there were too many types of spells.

However, no matter what kind of spell it was.

If he wanted to release it, he had to comprehend the Great Dao patterns of this spell.

It was also what cultivators often referred to as the dao pattern of magical techniques.

Due to the requirements of the job, a talisman craftsman had to be proficient in all kinds of spell dao patterns.

Thus, every talisman master had high attainments in spells.

According to what Zhou Mubai had said in the Sword Dao jade slip.

If a cultivator wanted to comprehend sword intent, they had to fuse their Dao with the sword.

And the Dao here referred to the Dao patterns of spells.

As Chen Daoxuan had rarely cultivated spells before, he was not very proficient in spell dao patterns.

In fact, he more or less knew a little about the dao pattern of wind.

This was because the Wind Manipulation Technique could be classified as a wind-attribute spell, and it more or less contained a portion of the wind dao pattern.

This was also the reason why Chen Daoxuan chose to practice the Wind Blade Technique first.

He had some basic knowledge in this area.

Reality proved that his choice was not wrong.

After more than a month of enlightenment, Chen Daoxuan had finally cultivated the Wind Blade Technique to perfection.

Even though the power of the spell was average, it at least made his comprehension of the wind dao pattern much deeper than before.

Especially after the epiphany last time.

He actually realized that his Sword Dao realm, which had been stagnant for more than a year, had improved again.

Chen Daoxuan discovered that with the help of enlightenment.

The wind dao pattern actually slowly merged into his sword path, allowing his sword path level to steadily advance by a level.

This discovery made Chen Daoxuan extremely excited.

Previously, his improvement in Sword Dao was simply too fast.

As a result, Chen Daoxuan’s lack of progress over the past year made him doubt his talent in the sword.

Could it be that his talent in the Sword Dao was so poor that the Primordial Dao Enlightenment Scripture’s ability to store comprehension could not help him continue improving in the Sword Dao?

However, the epiphany from the last time had completely dispelled his doubts.

It wasn’t that his talent in the way of the sword was bad, but that he wasn’t looking for the right direction.

If it wasn’t for Zhou Mubai’s jade slip, Chen Daoxuan would have spent a long time to discover this little trick.

Every time he thought of this, he felt even more grateful towards Zhou Mubai.

To a certain extent, Zhou Mubai was like half a teacher to him.

The problem of comprehending sword intent had been solved, and Chen

Daoxuan’s cultivation had also reached the ninth layer of the Aura Refining realm.

Then the next step in front of Chen Daoxuan was to build his foundation.

Of course.

Before building his foundation, Chen Daoxuan had to complete three things. This was because he wanted to walk the legendary path of a Swordsman. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had made ample preparations.

The first was naturally to comprehend sword essence.

Chen Daoxuan felt that there was no problem with this. Since he had found the right direction, all that was left was to use the ability of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture to store comprehension to continue attacking.

Second, he had to polish his zhenqi to make it pure and harmonious, reaching a point where it could not be improved.

This was something every Qi Condensation cultivator needed to prepare.

In fact, it wasn’t just Qi Condensation cultivators. There was a special realm in all cultivation realms, which was called the Perfection Realm.

For example, peak Ki Refining, peak Foundation Establishment, peak Zifu Disciple, and so on.

However, in reality, perfection was not a new realm. It referred to a cultivator reaching a special state where they could break through to the next realm.

In essence, the peak of the Aura Refining Stage was equivalent to the ninth level of the Aura Refining Stage.

It was just that the true qi of a ninth qi layer cultivator was perfect and pure, and he was already prepared to build his foundation.

The Mo Clan Leader that Chen Daoxuan had killed was in such a special state.

To reach this special state from the ninth qi layer…

Relying on the power of medicinal pills was already ineffective.

Wei Sihai, a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator hired by the Chen family’s branch, was one such example.

Whether it was pills or Water Spirit Pearls that aided cultivation, they were completely useless against this kind of cultivator.

This was because the polishing of true qi did not rely on spiritual energy, but the gradual grinding of a cultivator’s martial arts.

Depending on the situation of the cultivators, it could take as little as a few years and as long as ten years.

At this point.

Only then did Chen Daoxuan realize how powerful Zhou Mubai was when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 21.

This was because one could not rely on external objects to polish one’s true qi.

The only way was to rely on the cultivator himself.

In other words, Zhou Mubai might have reached the ninth qi layer before he turned fifteen.

As for the third matter…

It was also the most important thing, or perhaps the thing that Chen Daoxuan was least confident about.

To create a life dantian pressure regulator, or a true qi storage device.

In the past six months.

Chen Daoxuan had put a lot of effort into this.

He flipped through a large number of ancient books and experimented with countless spirit ore materials, but he still could not find a material that could store true qi.

This made Chen Daoxuan extremely depressed.

After all, finding this material was only the first step.

Only by finding this material could he develop a special life-bound magical treasure that could store zhenqi.

However, he had not even completed the first step..
