After Zang Xiaojian left, Lu Qingshan opened the Attribute Panel.
In the Experience Points section, there was a storage of nearly sixty thousand.
Dantai Qingrun didn’t understand why, despite his severe injuries, he still insisted on participating in the monster hunt and cleanup in Zhenjiang City; this was his reason.
Such a rare opportunity to gain experience points, how could he afford to miss it?
Let’s give it a try and see if the problem really lies in the level of cultivation.
Thinking this, Lu Qingshan then invested more than thirty thousand experience points into the Returning Ruins Scripture.
"Returning Ruins Scripture upgraded to lv8, Spiritual Power Value 100!"
...
"Returning Ruins Scripture upgraded to lv10, Spiritual Power Value 100!"
"Your Spiritual Power Value has exceeded 1000, Talent ’Spiritual Power Control’ (Primary Level) upgraded to ’Spiritual Power Control’ (Interdiate Level)!"
’Spiritual Power Control’ (Interdiate Level): With another increase in your cultivation, your control over Spiritual Power will beco even more precise. Spiritual Power Control 2.
...
After the Returning Ruins Scripture was upgraded to lv10, Lu Qingshan’s Spiritual Power Value limit successfully broke through 1000.
Ordinary cultivators generally only have such robust Spiritual Power when their cultivation reaches the Perfection of Foundation Establishnt, but with the bonus from the Taoist Level Cultivation Technique, Lu Qingshan at the mid stage of Foundation Establishnt already possessed the Interdiate level talent of Spiritual Power Control.
As for the High Level Spiritual Power Control talent, it requires the Spiritual Power Value limit to break through 3000. Generally speaking, unless there is a special opportunity, a cultivator needs to break through to the Golden Core Stage to advance this talent to the High Level.
According to what Zang Xiaojian said, he should now be able to maintain the Solidifying Form of Sword Qi for a long period.
Feeling his control over Spiritual Power had climbed another step, Lu Qingshan didn’t hesitate and imdiately began a new attempt.
He once again mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body.
With a swish, just like usual, a wisp of Sword Qi appeared at his fingertip.
He was already very skilled at this step.
However, different from before, this ti the Sword Qi was unexpectedly dense and no longer flickering.
It was a success, what Zang Xiaojian had said was true!
Lu Qingshan rejoiced in his heart.
...
Now that the issue with the Sword Qi was resolved, there was no reason to delay.
Lu Qingshan imdiately took out a Jade Box from the Storage Ring, opened the lid, and a block of deep blue jade ca into view.
Blue Sea Jade, one of the eighteen Third Grade Spirit Materials required for practicing the Water Walking Sword Armor.
Lu Qingshan clenched the Blue Sea Jade tightly, and the Spiritual Power in his body surged out, enveloping and slowly infiltrating into the Blue Sea Jade.
Lu Qingshan’s Divine Sense closely followed, observing the situation inside the Blue Sea Jade.
Among the vast patches of grey mottled energy, strands of blue-green Water Elental Qi swam about.
What he needed to do was to extract these pure strands of Water Elental Qi.
Lu Qingshan focused his mind, controlling the Spiritual Power, which converged into a large hand and hastily reached for a moving strand of Water Elental Qi.
This movent was extrely fast, yet the strand of Water Elental Qi slipped away like a fish, easily dodging Lu Qingshan’s capture.
Again!
Lu Qingshan was not discouraged at all. Highly concentrated, he aid at the strand of Water Elental Qi and chased it persistently.
....
After countless attempts, Lu Qingshan had gradually figured out the habits of the Water Elental Qi inside the Blue Sea Jade and got used to its swimming rhythm.
His Spiritual Power hand was as quick as lightning, covering a strand of Water Elental Qi once more. This ti, he did not miss.
But before Lu Qingshan could rejoice, the Water Elental Qi that he had caught unexpectedly dissipated into specks of starlight and then slowly reassembled into Water Elental Qi.
This was because the force was too great, so he dispersed the Water Elental Qi.
Lu Qingshan was not discouraged.
Training the Sword Armor was indeed a ticulous task, and he had been ntally prepared for it.
He quickly regrouped and once again headed towards another wisp of Water Elental Qi within the Blue Sea Jade.
...
Hu—
Finally, Lu Qingshan successfully captured the first wisp of Water Elental Qi. He focused his mind on this wisp of Water Elental Qi, pulling it outward, carefully controlling the force, afraid of dispersing it again.
Under Lu Qingshan’s gentle offensive, this wisp of Water Elental Qi slowly separated from the Blue Sea Jade.
With a "pop".
Lu Qingshan exerted a flick, pulling this wisp of Water Elental Qi away from the Blue Sea Jade.
This wisp of Water Elental Qi was very fine, flashing with a dazzling, brilliant azure light.
And on the tips of Lu Qingshan’s left hand fingers, a fine stream of Sword Qi suddenly surged out.
"Go," Lu Qingshan commanded the wisp of Water Elental Qi to entwine around the Sword Qi. The originally tangible yet formless fine Sword Qi, after a mont, transford into a wisp of azure-colored Water Elental Sword Qi.
Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction, as the wisp of Water Elental Sword Qi swiftly darted into one of his acupoints.
The beginning is always the hardest.
With the successful experience of the first ti, the following steps beca much quicker.
....
In the following days, Lu Qingshan devoted himself to the cultivation of the Water Walking Sword Armor.
It is worth ntioning that the Rat King, for so unknown reason, initially quite fearful of Zang Xiaojian, seed to have taken a liking to him or sothing, as after a few days, he started visiting Zang Xiaojian every day, shrouded in mystery without explaining why.
Lu Qingshan, busy extracting Spirit Materials, did not bother to delve deeper.
...
Inside the cabin.
Whoosh!
A wisp of azure Water Elental Sword Qi ford at the tip of Lu Qingshan’s finger.
In his palm lay a gray-white crystal, faintly visible—it was the Fourth Grade Spirit Material Sea Blue Marrow he had purchased at great expense in Bibo City, now looking faded.
This was because all the Water Elental Qi from the Sea Blue Marrow had been extracted, leaving behind only useless impurities.
Spending twenty days, Lu Qingshan had finally extracted all the Spirit Materials needed to form the Water Walking Sword Armor.
He also drew this fine wisp of Water Elental Sword Qi into one of his acupoints.
Then, Lu Qingshan introspected his own acupoints.
One could see, in each acupoint, a wisp of azure Water Elental Sword Qi intertwined.
No longer hesitating, Lu Qingshan drove all the Water Elental Sword Qi flowing throughout his body from the acupoints. These wisps of Water Elental Sword Qi quickly mingled and rged with one another.
Even though they all belonged to Water Elental Qi, the characteristics and strength of the Water Elental Qi extracted from different Spirit Materials varied.
Water Elental Qi from the Sea Blue Marrow was naturally the purest, but the characteristic of the Sea Blue Marrow was its great expansiveness, ant to allow the Sword Armor to cover the whole body, but it was not sufficient to support the formation of a complete Sword Armor.
The formation of the Water Walking Sword Armor required nineteen different Water Attribute Spirit Materials, each with its own role, indispensable.
Among them, the Blue Sea Jade was highly inclusive, able to harmonize the rging of various Water Elental Qi; the Billow Root excelled in recovery; the Mysterious Water Jade for its hardness; the Sky Wave Crystal had a strong weakening effect on spell attacks...
Such variations, combined with the Sword Qi driven by the Sword Cultivator as if it were an extension of his arm, perfectly ford a piece of Protective Sword Armor.
Once the different characteristic Water Elental Sword Qi within each acupoint mingled together, forming a river, Lu Qingshan’s thoughts stirred, and the river churned up, circulating around his body harmoniously and comfortably.
"Out!"
Under the command of Lu Qingshan’s ntal focus, all the Water Elental Sword Qi flowed out from the acupoints, constantly moving around his body.
Rippling blue waves, with a slight glow intertwining.
Water Walking Sword Armor, complete!
