The entire Fountain of Eternal Youth is circular, with a diater asuring roughly the length of a human arm, and the spring water is quite shallow, barely reaching less than a finger deep.
To put it plainly, there’s very little spring water...
The bottom of the spring is covered with so debris, and it’s unknown from where this life-extending water originates.
Ji Yuan was sowhat curious; could such a small amount of spring water really be enough to condense a sword embryo for a Lifebound Flying Sword?
This made Ji Yuan recall his experience at the Ice and Fire Pool, where the amount of water seed irrelevant to the quality of the Water Transport.
No matter, sensing it should make things clear.
Imdiately, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to carefully sense the wandering Water Transport in the world around him.
Within just a few breaths, Ji Yuan withdrew from his insight, opening his eyes instantly, with only one thought in his mind: Li Daye truly lives up to his na!
Because the Water Transport surrounding this Fountain of Eternal Youth was no less than that of the Ice and Fire Pool, maybe even greater.
With this level of Water Transport, not to ntion condensing rely one sword embryo, even condensing ten or eight would be no issue.
Ji Yuan glanced at his ntor sitting not far away acting as a Guardian, feeling settled in his heart. He imdiately entered the familiar process of condensing a Flying Sword’s sword embryo.
Initially, one must naturally operate the Cultivation Technique to absorb the wandering Water Transport into the Dantian.
This is the slowest part, but in the presence of such abundant Water Transport, the process doesn’t seem slow; one might even say it’s surprisingly fast.
After half a day, Ji Yuan felt that the Water Transport inside his Dantian was sufficient to form the sword embryo for the Evergreen Sword.
Yet he still did not stop. The Evergreen Sword, capable of both attacking and healing during combat, was indeed a good thing, and naturally had to be fully optimized.
Of course, another reason for coming here to refine the sword was the effort Hua Yaoyue had put into it. Ji Yuan didn’t want to waste his ntor’s intentions.
So, he focused on absorbing until he could take no more, and then began to condense the sword embryo.
The other eight sword embryos ford a Sword Array, enveloping the mass of greenish water essence, which then began to rotate and compress.
The Water Transport beca smaller and smaller, but increasingly solid.
Once it solidified to a certain point, it naturally ford into the shape of a Flying Sword.
But this was rely a prototype.
Another half day passed.
The originally ditating Ji Yuan abruptly emitted a powerful Sword Qi, and his whole aura soared skywards, like an unsheathed long sword thrusting toward the heavens.
Hua Yaoyue, who had been resting with closed eyes, casually swept her hand, and the ascending Sword Qi dispersed into smoke.
Yet the ever-increasing aura of Ji Yuan did not fade.
Already at the late-stage Foundation Establishnt, with the success of the last Flying Sword’s sword embryo, his cultivation naturally began to break through.
Once cultivation starts to break through, the effect of the Concealing Breath Spell disappears as well.
His cultivation beca visible, ascending step by step.
Ji Yuan naturally couldn’t feel this; at present, all his attention was on the nine sword embryos within his Dantian, each with different colors, like the Evergreen Flying Sword was green, the Blood Killing Sword was red, and the Thunder Strike Sword was purple.
The sizes varied, with the largest naturally being the giant sword embryo condensed at the Starfall River estuary.
The smallest was the Blood Killing.
At this mont, the nine Flying Sword embryos floated above the sea of Spiritual Qi in the Dantian.
No, for others, it might be a sea of Spiritual Qi, but for Ji Yuan, it was a Spiritual Energy Wilderness, because his ice attribute Spiritual Qi inherently froze everything.
’As the Spiritual Qi continues to fill, sooner or later it will occupy the entire Dantian, and by then will these Flying Sword embryos not beco frozen?’
Observing the Flying Sword embryos occupying only a tiny area, Ji Yuan thought he needed to advance to a Fake Pill soon. Once he further compressed his Spiritual Qi, those Flying Sword embryos could roam freely again.
As for now...
A single thought from Ji Yuan set the Flying Sword embryos inside his Dantian in motion along with the Spiritual Qi, traveling through his ridians, each path lding the aura of Sword Qi into his very Spiritual Qi.
’Could it be that after transitioning to ice attribute, my Spiritual Qi can also carry a hint of Sword Qi?’
’If that’s true, then in the future, even without using Techniques, my Spiritual Qi alone would have impressive effects.’
After a while, Ji Yuan retracted the sword embryos back into the Dantian and erged from his cultivation state.
Just as he erged, he imdiately initiated the Concealing Breath Spell, causing his aura to descend from the Peak of Foundation Establishnt to late-stage Foundation Establishnt.
"How was it?"
Hua Yaoyue appraised Ji Yuan and asked.
Ji Yuan quickly stood up and saluted Hua Yaoyue, "Disciple thanks Master for the guidance to this point."
"As long as it’s smooth."
Hua Yaoyue rose and stepped to the side of the spring, sensing it briefly before chuckling, "I really thought it was so Fountain of Eternal Youth, but it’s just a half-ford spring."
"Hmm?"
Ji Yuan looked at her in confusion, "Isn’t this the Fountain of Eternal Youth?"
"No."
Hua Yaoyue shook her head, her eyes losing interest, "I was wondering, how could the small Cangluo Continent harbor a true Fountain of Eternal Youth, especially held by a minor Nascent Soul Cultivator."
"If such a thing really existed, even a Void Refining Cultivator would cross many continents to seize it."
"Then what is this?"
Ji Yuan, not understanding, asked.
"It’s a pseudo Fountain of Eternal Youth, also known as the ’Nether Old Spring’. Drinking a sip can extend life by twenty years, but one’s cultivation will never advance further, and the effect diminishes each ti. The second sip only adds ten years, the third five years, and the fourth turns it into an ordinary Spiritual Spring."
