Chapter 194 – Innate Sword Physique, Abandoned Disciple

Meng Fan carefully observed the ethereal figure of Hong Qi, noting that it had become much more solid.

He opened his mouth and asked, "During this period, you've absorbed quite a bit of the Essence of the Sword. How do you feel now? Is there any sign of transitioning from a spiritual form to a soul form?"

Hong Qi was a sword spirit, a spiritual entity.

When her spiritual form became strong enough, there was hope for her to evolve into a soul form.

From being a sword spirit to becoming a sword soul.

Although there was only a one-word difference between "spirit" and "soul," the distinction was vast!

A spirit was ethereal and uncertain, merely a consciousness residing within a sword weapon.

Once the sword weapon was destroyed, the spirit would inevitably dissipate into nothingness.

But a soul form was entirely different. Once it was cultivated, it became an independent entity, completely detached from the sword.

Even if the sword weapon was destroyed, the sword soul could survive and find a new vessel.

And this vessel was not limited to just sword weapons.

Hong Qi was originally a human who transformed into a sword spirit after a sword sacrifice.

Once she cultivated a soul form, there was hope for her to become human again. Although it was an extremely difficult task, it was at least a possibility!

Meng Fan helped Hong Qi cultivate a soul form with the intention of reviving her.

However, he had never told Hong Qi about this intention.

Because telling her might only lead to disappointment.

So, it was better to wait until he was confident before saying anything.

"Master, the Essence of the Sword indeed helps me refine my spiritual form. Refining it to the extreme can indeed transform it into a soul form.

However, I am still far from achieving a soul form. I need to absorb the Essence of the Sword from at least a thousand spiritual swords."

Hong Qi said somewhat embarrassedly.

A thousand spiritual swords were not the same as a thousand ordinary swords; the difficulty was imaginable.

Meng Fan, however, smiled and said, "As long as there's hope, that's good. A thousand spiritual swords are nothing. It won't take long."

The number of spiritual swords in the Sword Pavilion definitely exceeded a thousand.

Moreover, Meng Fan had inherited over a hundred spiritual swords from the Sword Immortal of Alchemy.

Meng Fan had not yet absorbed the Essence of the Sword from these spiritual swords.

So, it wasn't difficult for Hong Qi to cultivate a soul form. The real challenge was how to revive her and reconstruct a physical body.

To be honest, Meng Fan had never heard of a method to reconstruct a physical body.

It was likely a technique of the immortals!

There was no reason for him to cultivate at the Sword Pavilion.

Moreover, why were so many people being expelled from their sects recently?

First, Lin Jian and Lu Xiaoyun were expelled from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and now this Wu Tian was expelled from the Vajra Temple.

But since Elder Lin had already spoken, Meng Fan wouldn't ask further and would just follow the instructions.

"I understand, Master. Don't worry."

Elder Lin shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand. I haven't finished speaking."

"Uh, please continue, Master." Meng Fan smiled awkwardly.

"When I say take care of him, I don't mean in the usual sense!"

"Huh?"

"When Wu Tian arrives, I want you to teach him a lesson and curb his arrogance."

Meng Fan immediately smiled wryly, realizing what Elder Lin meant by "taking care."

"Master, if he's your old friend's son, why do you want to teach him a lesson?"

"He's been possessed by a demon. He needs someone to wake him up, and it's best if that person is of a lower realm than him."

Hearing Elder Lin's words, Meng Fan began to understand the situation.

So, it was simply about teaching Wu Tian a lesson.

"Master, what realm is this abandoned disciple Wu Tian from the Vajra Temple?" Meng Fan asked.

Elder Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's also in the Heavenly Origin Realm. His cultivation level isn't much higher than yours. I believe he won't be your match."

Meng Fan nodded.

Heavenly Origin Realm, then it's fine.

To be honest, Meng Fan was a bit arrogant. In his eyes, no one in the Heavenly Origin Realm was his match.

And in fact, that seemed to be true!

Elder Lin looked at Meng Fan and gave one last reminder.

"Teach him a lesson, but don't injure or cripple him, and definitely don't kill him!"

In Elder Lin's view, his disciple was indeed terrifying. He was genuinely afraid that Meng Fan might accidentally kill his old friend's son.

"Don't worry, Master. I know what to do."

***

Meng Fan originally thought that the abandoned disciple Wu Tian would arrive at the Sword Pavilion in a couple of days.

But the next day, as soon as he opened the door of the Sword Pavilion, he saw a shiny bald head standing outside.
