Therefore, disciples of most prestigious sects, as long as their foundations are solid and their power deep, can be taught the authentic sword-controlling formula of their respective sects once they form a Golden Core. So sects with increasingly outrageous and peculiar rules even begin teaching children sword control during the Qi Refining Stage...
Huangfu Yi also understood that his ti in obtaining the Way was still short; only upon returning to the Central Plains did he begin cultivating the Mystic Sect Qi Technique. His natural talent was not top-tier, most of his power seed to have been infused like cheating.
However, no matter what, his journey of overcoming countless trials was not sothing ordinary people could achieve.
Having co this far, Huangfu Yi could indeed be considered exceptionally gifted, and while the system often criticized him as foolish and worthless, it also acknowledged his rits, especially his focus and dedication during cultivation, which were unparalleled.
The concern that others had about becoming possessed by a demon was completely irrelevant to him. Additionally, the good foundation laid during his childhood made his base solid and profound, making his Qi Refining highly efficient. Although various fortuitous encounters had infused many years’ worth of power into him, his Qi Gong remained extrely pure.
Thus, despite Huangfu Yi’s average comprehension needing the system to explain three tis before he could understand the basic Sword Control Technique—whose na it didn’t even have—his realm hadn’t reached the Core Formation level yet. But, once he learned it, his Qi could circulate through a cycle, and he could rember it well. Moreover, through constant day and night cultivation and Qi circulation, he could achieve a state of tranquility without error, almost as though he was born with a sacred body for Inner Strength cultivation.
What’s more, he had also mastered the "Nine Heavens Profound Lady’s Three Transformations and Nine Changes Refining Form Chapter," which was notoriously difficult, and naturally, the Sword Control Skill was no challenge for him. He smoothly manifested a thread of sword energy, like an imperceptible spider silk, probing into the sword bag and forming a subtle connection with the flying sword key, being able to summon it for assistance.
Moreover, not only using it like a puppet or tethered marionette, Huangfu Yi felt he could delve even deeper to explore the deeper parts inside the flying sword, to observe and sense the mories before its formation.
But at that mont, a large amount of Divine Sense fragnts, dense data, surged into Huangfu Yi’s forehead like a bombardnt, rushing into his Divine Court.
And this knowledge wasn’t light or shadow, like dew or lightning. Upon closer inspection, it seed familiar yet unfathomable, totally inscrutable to the brain and resembling nonsensical gibberish, irrational scribbles. Even thinking about it wouldn’t lead to enlightennt, but rather a splitting headache, forcing Huangfu Yi to sever the link with the sword energy hastily.
Well, as the system said, luckily this flying sword was just a waste-grade fragnt, barely manageable, but it already reached Huangfu Yi’s limit. If it were stronger, just the slight probing earlier would’ve turned him into an idiot...
But no matter what, now Huangfu Yi could control his flying sword.
"Swift!"
With a thought and a guiding gesture, a flash of silver light surged. Huangfu Yi’s vision could barely detect a streak of white ribbon, then the ropes hanging from the withered trees at the courtyard were severed one after another, causing the skeletal remains to clatter to the ground.
Wow, so fast...
Sensing the flying sword’s dissatisfaction, Huangfu Yi quickly cut his palm, feeding the flying sword in the bag with his Essence Blood, letting it drink for a full teacup’s worth of ti, finally calming the sword’s murderous intent.
Alright, this sword certainly was formidable, but its imnse power was truly hard to control, exceptionally violent, drawing blood upon unsheathing. If it couldn’t kill several to satiate it each ti, even Hao Yi’s strong physique and abundant essence couldn’t withstand such demands.
However, fortunately, the previous owner understood the prowess of this Divine Weapon and specially equipped it with this sword bag for sustenance. So, even though it had been hidden in the well for years, its sharpness remained unchanged, negating the need to house it in the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion for maintenance.
After ending his task, he looked up to see the sky darkening, moonlight brightening.
Huangfu Yi also removed the Purple Sun Lock Dragon Marrow from his back, unwrapped the cloak bundle, placing the large dark and coarse piece of mushroom at under the moonlight.
According to the system’s previous instructions, as long as he kept the treasure unseized for seven days, he could exchange it for money by exposing it to moonlight.
Well, actually, Huangfu Yi didn’t quite understand how moon exposure could turn it into cash, but Immortal thods were always mysterious, so he just followed the system’s guidance.
Thus, Huangfu Yi ditated under the moonlight, leveraging the yang energy emitted by the treasure, continuing to cultivate various secret manual Qi techniques, diligently refining and absorbing True Qi within, further honing the Mysterious Lady Refining Form and basic Sword Control Technique.
He continued until midnight when suddenly the cracking sounds broke through from nowhere, startling Huangfu Yi from his ditation.
It wasn’t an illusion, wind noise, nor a dream! Real sounds emanated from the well behind him!
Crackling, rattling louder and closer, as if sothing was trying to break through the bone forest’s blockage at the well entrance...
Looking at the sword bag in his hand, Huangfu Yi suddenly had an epiphany, sowhat understanding why this supposedly discarded sword bag was hanging by the well, yet no one took it, and why every now and then chaotic soldiers’ outposts would co to eat human at hotpot.
There’s a monster in the well.
"Caw caw... caw caw..."
Upon hearing the sound expand suddenly, it was clear that the creature climbed out of the well. Huangfu Yi turned his head and locked eyes with the head peeking from the well.
