Chapter 5: The Sword of Destiny [Seeking investment, monthly ticket]

The refining of the natal sword requires long-term nurturing. It must be nourished by one's own essence, energy and spirit, and constantly carved by one's own understanding of the Tao. Over time, it will gradually transform into a part of one's life.

At that time, not only will its power be greater than that of ordinary magical instruments, but it will also be able to grow along with Jiang Ming's cultivation level.

The natal sword can be of any size you wish. In a moment, it will be integrated into the spiritual consciousness and kill the enemy thousands of miles away. The farther the spiritual consciousness can detect, the farther the attack power will be.

Jiang Ming picked up a thumb-sized piece of star-patterned iron next to him. With a thought, the half-foot-long green-bladed glazed sword quickly shrank and finally turned into an embroidery needle, and with a "swoosh", it pierced into the star-patterned iron.

Star-patterned iron is one of the best materials used by monks in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm to refine magical instruments.

Unfortunately, it is only the size of a thumb, which is a bit small. If it could be as big as a pebble, it would be enough.

However, Jiang Ming now wants to use this precious star-patterned iron to nourish his natal sword.

hum~~~
As Jiang Ming practiced the magic formula, a layer of halo appeared on the surface of his natal sword, which was like an embroidery needle, and crystal ripples flowed, as if drinking water, constantly absorbing the essence of the star pattern iron. Every bit of light was absorbed by the embroidery needle Qingfeng Liuli sword, and in the process, some debris gradually fell off the surface of the star pattern iron, which originally flowed with azure starlight.

About ten minutes later, the embroidery needle sword began to vibrate with pleasure and made a "clang" sound of a sword.

The thumb-sized piece of star-patterned iron had turned into a handful of impurities that looked like soot.

Jiang Ming did not stop nurturing his natal sword. His true energy was still sufficient, and his spiritual awareness was also sufficient. The natal sword as big as an embroidery needle trembled with a slight hum, and then pierced into the piece of purple copper as big as a soybean.

This bit of purple copper is the spoils found from the dead man of the Li family. It is more valuable than star pattern iron and is on the same level as star iron. It is the best precious material for monks in the next secret realm, the Taoist Palace secret realm, to refine magical instruments.

However, now it is a bargain for Jiang Ming. To be honest, his magic sword, even with the Yi Mu Heart fragments added, is still very ordinary, because the material of Yi Mu Heart itself is equivalent to star pattern iron.

As for the main material, Qingmu, it is the heart of a hundred-year-old tree demon, which is refined through sacrifice.

This was given to Jiang Ming by his master. Otherwise, with Jiang Ming's strength, he would definitely not be able to defeat the hundred-year-old tree demon.

After Jiang Ming refined the sword again, it turned into mainly fragments of Yi Mu Star, absorbing the original essence of Qing Mu Heart.

After half an hour, the essence of the soybean-sized copper was completely absorbed, and there was nothing left, only a wisp of purple smoke rising.

Jiang Ming could feel the joy of his own natal sword. It was a wonderful feeling. When Jiang Ming chose to refine it into his only natal sword, he endowed it with spirituality. It could be said that it was now like a quasi-spiritual weapon, which was naturally much better than the normal magical weapon.

In the Xianjian world, the treasures refined by cultivators are roughly divided into: magic weapons, spiritual weapons, magic treasures, and spiritual treasures.

Based on Jiang Ming's understanding of the Heaven-Covering Method, only the treasures refined by the monks in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm can be called spiritual weapons.

Now, its natal sword has devoured so many resources, which has essentially improved it.

Jiang Ming looked at the trophies: the golden awl, the purple net, the silver shield, the bronze hammer, the blood-red spear, and the green wooden sword.

These are all common magic tools, and the materials used are also the common materials that the bitter sea monk can get. He is a little disdainful of them. There is no need to let his natal sword devour the essence of these magic tools. They are dispensable.

You can definitely sell it and exchange it for some cultivation resources.

These magical instruments are all common items, and there is no need to worry about anyone recognizing their unknown origins.

Now, Jiang Ming's natal sword has changed from its original green colored glass appearance to a colored glass sword with a flowing purple halo and dots of azure blue starlight.

It is impossible to nurture and refine a natal sword in one go. If one were an ordinary sword cultivator, it would probably take ten years of hard work to nurture and refine a natal sword of the spiritual weapon level.

However, Jiang Ming was different. With his sword realm and the "Great Freedom Sword Intention of Gods and Demons" he had comprehended, he could nurture his flying sword more than a hundred times faster. He believed that his natal sword would be transformed into a spiritual weapon in about a month at most.

When he became a demon, he comprehended the sword intent of the Great Freedom Demonic Path.

When he ascended to heaven, he became an immortal in one thought, and also comprehended the sword intent of the Great Freedom Shinto.

"Come."

Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed it. His natal sword floated in front of him. It grew rapidly from the size of an embroidery needle to a length of three feet and one inch, emitting a purple-blue glow dotted with blue starlight. It became like an ordinary sword. He stretched out his hand and grasped the magic sword.

This is the natal sword, which can be nurtured in the dantian or carried on the body. One nurtures it with one's own breath, true essence, and even spiritual consciousness at all times.

These things can be restored after being consumed, which can be considered an advantage for sword practitioners.

The fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold, and the sword edge comes from sharpening.

Today, Jiang Ming’s cultivation level is at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Theoretically, he is comparable to a Mingquan cultivator who practices the Heaven-Covering Method.

At the very least, in this area, it is enough to protect yourself by not provoking some elder-level figures.

Jiang Ming would definitely not be confined to this level of cultivation, as he has just awakened his memory.

He has not yet obtained a decent Heaven-Covering Technique. His experience with the Heaven-Breaking Body is that his own original essence is vast and powerful, and accordingly, the consumption of resources during cultivation will be more.

However, this is also a good thing. Every time he uses more cultivation resources, it is a kind of accumulation of foundation, and he will benefit in the end. Just like ordinary people, some elderly people of our fathers' generation can eat ten steamed buns for a meal, and can carry 300 kilograms to the eighth floor at the age of 60.

Some young and strong men only eat two steamed buns for a meal and carry 100 kilograms to the fourth floor. That would cost them their lives.

Only by eating can you have strength.

His physique can consume resources, which is also a good thing for Jiang Ming.

What is certain is that the resources consumed are not as exaggerated as Ye Fan's Ancient Holy Body. After all, the Heavenly Tyrant Body is not cursed by anyone, so a little cost is normal.

At present, there is no Heaven-covering Technique that suits your physique, so there is no need to practice it in a hurry. You can't just practice a random technique and waste this Heaven-covering Body, right?

Besides, he can still practice the magic of the immortal sword. This world is not that harsh. Emperor Huang Tian is very generous. He does not forbid the younger generations of humans to create magic.

I just don't know if there will be a Dharma-creating catastrophe? When will it come?
He practiced little by little. Logically speaking, even if there was a calamity of creation, it would definitely be someone of the corresponding realm that struck him. It would not be possible for someone to exceed his realm and must kill him.

There was still some time before dawn, so Jiang Ming began to meditate and practice Qi. Even if he had no resources for cultivation, the essence of heaven and earth in this world could be used to refine and absorb.

For him, now that his practice is on the right track, he can completely use meditation to replace sleep.

…………

Time goes back to daytime.

Misty cave!

During the day, Jiang Ming's master, Elder Lei, heard his disciple's report and saw Jiang Ming. He was in a very bad condition and seemed to be crazy.

After he chased out, he did not find Jiang Ming. Later, the incident in Yanxialing was exposed, and many cultivators saw a flock of lightning birds wreaking havoc in Yanxialing.

When Elder Lei arrived at Yanxia Ridge, he naturally saw the Qingzhu Slope that had been blasted into a gully by the Zapdos.

Elder Lei had roughly guessed the cause of the incident. He had warned Jiang Ming and Lingzhi not to pick the Three Yin Cold Lotus. Even he did not dare to go there.

In the end, the two disciples still did not listen. Unexpectedly, they did not die under the claws of the old cold dragon in the cold pond, but instead provoked the Zapdos. Were they bold enough to pick the Zap Grass?
Lightning grass is a rare spiritual grass that grows on cliffs around the nests of lightning birds. It is more than ten times more precious than jade snake orchid.

"Alas, you foolish student, you are so foolish that you cannot be more foolish than a rotten tree."

Elder Lei's old body, wearing a purple robe, looked like a piece of cloth hanging on a flagpole. Skinny was not enough to describe his hunched body. He stretched out a pair of hands, which looked extremely dry, with bulging veins like black dragons. His skin-wrapped bony palms were clenched tightly, and he said in a hoarse voice with a look of regret.

He was 1.7 meters tall, and it was certain that he must have been 1.8 meters tall when he was young. Now his hair was disheveled, and there was very little left, which he had smoothed behind his head. His face was already skin and bones, with high cheekbones, and he looked like the kind of person who would be strong all his life.

"Cough cough cough-"

At this moment, the old man coughed violently, turned around and turned into a purple rainbow light and left.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Elder Lei was a knowledgeable person who had lived for nearly 160 years. He had seen everything. It turned out that his disciples had experienced life and died outside.

However, this time his disciple Jiang Ming was extremely talented, comparable to half a fairy seedling, and he had high hopes for him. He felt that Jiang Ming could go further than him in the future and could also help him look after his descendants.

Lingzhi's talent is also very good, second only to Jiang Ming. The couple supports each other. Maybe in the future they can both become monks of the Divine Bridge and have the opportunity to reach the other side.

In the end, everything was in vain.

Sure enough, when it got dark, neither Jiang Ming nor Lingzhi returned to Yanxia Cave.

Disciples generally don't dare to spend the night outside, and this situation seems to foreshadow something.

"Cough cough cough-"

Late at night, a shrill cough was heard from the cave where Elder Lei lived.

"Dad, you must take care of yourself. Junior Brother Jiang Ming is a lucky man, and he will be fine."

An equally old man in the cave looked at Elder Lei worriedly and said.

He is a monk from Kuhai, he is over a hundred years old and won’t live much longer.

Elder Lei was a Life Spring cultivator and theoretically could have lived to be around 150 years old, but he used some longevity pills and managed to hold on for another 3-5 years.

Elder Han from Lingxu Cave Heaven was a few years younger than Elder Lei, and their cultivation was similar. It wouldn't be many years before, in the original plot, he would target Ye Fan, wanting to use Ye Fan's ancient holy body to make elixirs to prolong his life.
