Chapter 223: Slaughterous Sword Will

After once again suppressing Yan Cangtian's bodily medicinal toxicity, Ling Feng wiped his forehead and let out a long breath.

With the ten Regenerative Golden Needles sent by Wen Tingguang, treating Yan Cangtian proved far more effective than when he was using ordinary needles.

Over the past half month, the medicinal toxicity within Yan Cangtian's body had been neutralized by about twenty percent. As a result, his true qi had become much more stable, with essentially no instances of it becoming uncontrollable.

"Your medical skills truly stand unrivaled in the world, young man. This is definitely a direct reflection of your grandfather's legacy."

Yan Cangtian couldn't help but marvel once more. Ling Feng's mastery, at his tender age, likely surpassed that of most physicians in the vast Tianbai Empire.

"Elder Yan, you're too kind."

Ling Feng replied with a modest smile. As he stowed away the Regenerative Golden Needles, he continued, "In the recent weeks, we've successfully refined eight types of medicinal pills with minimal errors. Today, I would like to take a break and ask Elder Yan some questions. Would that be alright?"

"Oh?" Yan Cangtian raised an eyebrow. After half a month, he had fully recognized Ling Feng's talent and character, and he had already considered taking him as a disciple.

With a stroke of his beard, Yan Cangtian calmly responded, "Let's hear it then."

"I want to know how the embryonic form of sword will can evolve into genuine sword will," Ling Feng opened up with a question that left Yan Cangtian profoundly astonished.

"You..." Yan Cangtian stared at Ling Feng for a while, amazed. "Young man, are you suggesting that you've already comprehended the embryonic form of sword will?"

"Yes," Ling Feng nodded slightly. Under Yan Cangtian's incredulous gaze, he continued slowly, "I have condensed the sword embryo in my sea of mind. However, despite the progress in my cultivation and strength over the past half-month, there has been no breakthrough in the sword embryo within my sea of mind."

Though Leng Jianfeng mentioned the concept of "sword will," he believed that these rookies were unlikely to possess such a thing, so he only touched on the surface, which couldn't help Ling Feng comprehend much.

"The Tianbai Empire traces its origins back to the Holy Tianbai Dynasty! In the past, the territory of the Holy Tianbai Dynasty was ten times larger than it is today. It was the only nation in the entire Dongling Region, and much of its success was attributed to the sword of the god of death, Chi Lie."

Ling Feng was dumbfounded.

To think there could be such a brutal and bloodthirsty individual in the world!

Moreover, this person seemed to be a high-ranking general by the side of that old man, the Tianbai Emperor. There might be an opportunity to inquire about the god of death, Chi Lie, from the Tianbai Emperor.

"Now you understand why I mentioned your luck is somewhat unfavorable," Yan Cangtian's expression turned serious again. "But if your goal is simply to transform your sword embryo into sword will, using some ancient Sword Enlightenment Stones containing ancient sword will should be helpful."

Ling Feng nodded, quietly noting down the term "Sword Enlightenment Stone." If he ever had the chance, he could collect some. Successfully transforming the slaughterous sword will would be much stronger than having only a half-assed sword embryo.

"Kid, breaking through the slaughterous sword will is a challenging endeavor. Moreover, with the relatively stable border now, the environment that favored the god of death Chi Lie back then is almost impossible to replicate. So, you probably won't have much of an opportunity to cultivate the slaughterous sword will to its peak. Also, since you've comprehended such a top-tier sword will, ordinary ones will likely be out of your reach."

Yan Cangtian lightly stroked his beard and continued, "However, the Immortal Sword Will and the Destructive Sword Will, which are comparable to the Slaughterous Sword Will, can coexist. If you ever have the chance to comprehend either of these two sword wills in the future, you might achieve a perfected level of sword will."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, holding Yan Cangtian's words in his thoughts. He then fist-and-palm saluted and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder Yan."

"Hehe, you saved my life, so there's no need for thanks."

Yan Cangtian flicked his sleeve lightly and said, "Speaking of which, I've never witnessed your swordsmanship. Why not demonstrate your strongest sword technique? I might be able to offer some pointers."

"Sure!" Ling Feng's heart leapt with joy. Yan Cangtian was a top-notch expert, comparable to the sect leader of the Cangqiong Sect. Getting pointers from him would undoubtedly be very beneficial!

As they spoke, the two made their way to the courtyard. Ling Feng feigned activating his storage spirit ring and theatrically took out the Eradicator of Realms. He then performed a fist-and-palm salute and said casually, "Elder Yan, allow me to demonstrate."
