87: Chapter 46 The Immortal City of Ten Thousand Swords

Inside Yanfa Hall.

Chen Xuan wore a white jade crown and a cloud-mist cloak, his entire demeanor refined and detached from the mundane world.

Although he was only 13, his figure had grown a bit taller; now, compared to Liu Lili, he was only half a head shorter.

"Today's lecture is on the mastery of Sword Light Differentiation."

"So-called Sword Light Differentiation is to divide a single sword light into multiple, thereby concealing them within the sword light to launch multiple attacks."

"When an enemy faces you, it is as if they are facing several opponents of the same Realm."

Chen Xuan spoke naturally about Sword Light Differentiation.

The surrounding Disciples in the Qi Refining Realm listened with great interest.

One must know that there are very few Disciples capable of giving lectures, and very few Disciples in the Qi Refining Realm who have mastered Sword Light Differentiation.

Many Cultivators who were on the verge of a Breakthrough, under Chen Xuan's guidance, actually managed to slowly differentiate a strand of sword light.

This was a transformation from zero to one.

It was precisely because some succeeded that Chen Xuan's reputation quickly grew in the Outer Sect, and people came in an endless stream to listen to his lectures.

Many Cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm even wanted to become his Disciples.

With Chen Xuan's attainments, his future Foundation Establishment was a certainty.

However, in this life, Chen Xuan's main goal was to seek the Dao.

He refused directly.

The most precious things for a Qi Refining Family were nothing more than items for Foundation Establishment.

As the behind-the-scenes president of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce, Chen Xuan naturally did not lack them.

Furthermore, in this life, he was a Disciple of a Golden Core.

Even restricted items like foundation establishment pills could be used without limit.

What were mere items for Foundation Establishment worth to him?

Chen Xuan demonstrated Sword Light Differentiation and explained the details.

Afterwards, someone asked a question.

"Master Yun, I have a point of confusion. Clearly, I have already differentiated a strand of sword light, but it dissipates halfway through. How is this explained?"

The gazes of those below the stage turned toward him.

As students, those Cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm who had not mastered Sword Light Differentiation, or who had just mastered it, were all eager and thirsty for knowledge.

Sword Light Differentiation either required reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm where Divine Sense was sufficient to master it naturally, or, in the Qi Refining Realm, required rigorous training and skills approaching the Dao to achieve progress in Sword Dao attainments and complete the Sword Light Differentiation.

Chen Xuan immediately said, "Come up to the stage and demonstrate."

The Disciple was overjoyed upon hearing this.

It was under Chen Xuan's guidance that he had completed the Sword Light Differentiation, and after months of diligent practice, he finally grasped that initial feeling.

He had successfully performed Sword Light Differentiation.

Now, having another opportunity was truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

In the outside world, such an opportunity to be taught core skills would cost at least a thousand Spirit Stones!

A thousand Spirit Stones was almost the wealth a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm could accumulate in a lifetime.

From this, it could be seen that in the Cultivation world of the Southern Region, having a craft could yield very considerable income.

The Disciple immediately performed a round of Sword Light Differentiation.

Sure enough, he barely managed to differentiate a strand of sword light, which then dissipated.

"Two problems."

Chen Xuan had extraordinary insight.

The surrounding Disciples listened even more intently.

Even Liu Lili, who had come quietly, had a serious expression.

Yes, even she, a daughter of the Liu Family with an Earthly Spiritual Root, had not been able to master Sword Light Differentiation.

This was not something that could be achieved by talent alone.

"The first problem: your sword light is not condensed enough; that is to say, your practice of the sword technique is not up to scratch, and you do not even understand your own Sword Dao."

This was basic training.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

"If you cannot even differentiate the sword light, you cannot even control a single strand of sword light."

A single sword light meant controlling a Magical Artifact sword to strike at high speed like a beam of light; that was what was meant by sword light.

The Disciple lowered his head in shame, "Master Yun, this Disciple has only been in the Sect for three years, and my cultivation is only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm. I have not yet mastered the Cultivation Technique..."

The Disciple fully realized his own problem.

"The second point, your Divine Sense strength is insufficient."

Sword Light Differentiation also requires the support of Divine Sense strength.

Chen Xuan was able to perform it in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm because the Divine Sense strength provided by the Canglan Art allowed him to develop Divine Sense early on.

Moreover, through years and lifetimes of Reincarnation, Chen Xuan's Soul strength was extremely strong.

Divine Sense was born from Soul strength, so Chen Xuan had extremely strong Divine Sense almost from the moment he awakened.

"Yes..." The Disciple was speechless.

All around were gazes of admiration.

What Chen Xuan said was indeed the truth.

It was also a place the Disciple had completely failed to notice.

Those newly entering the Cultivation world always took things for granted.

But an experienced hand could naturally see the problem at a glance and judge what was good or bad.

This kind of intuition as a Cultivator was something Chen Xuan had already possessed in his previous life.

As the saying goes, one can see how a person will be at eighty from when they are three.

It is the same principle.

"If there are no other questions, today's lecture ends here."

Chen Xuan saw that most of the day had passed.

Having answered so many people's questions, it was naturally time to end.

Next, it was time to take a trip to Wanjian Immortal City.

There was the meeting at the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the aftermath of the Xiao Family.

Additionally, Chen Xuan was not far from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm.

He was confident that he could break through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm before the The Three Sects competition in the second half of the year.

This was something he would never have dared to imagine in his previous life.

The crowd did not ask any more questions; today's experience was enough for them to absorb for some time.

Everyone bowed in unison, "Thank you, Master Yun!"

Chen Xuan nodded and immediately left with Liu Lili.

"Junior Brother, are you going to Wanjian Immortal City today?"

"Yes."

"Does Senior Sister have any rare items you want me to bring back?" Chen Xuan asked.

Recently, Liu Lili had been attempting to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm and was in seclusion within the residence of Immortal Master Liu Yun, almost never coming out.

Today, it was only because the young Daoist acolyte Xiao Cui had sent word that she had come out.

However, it could be sensed that her aura was infinitely close to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

It seemed that Senior Sister had not been lax in the slightest.

This was the biggest gap between her and the bottom-tier practitioners.

Often, Cultivators from the upper Sects were more serious and placed more importance on cultivation.

Things like fishing for three days and drying nets for two days were almost impossible to happen in the Liuyang Sword Sect.

The entire Sect had this kind of atmosphere.

If you fell behind, you were truly behind, and in all likelihood, you would never catch up in your entire life.

Latecomers always had opportunities.

But those who were ahead had higher talent than you and worked harder than you.

Therefore, the reason the The Three Sects could stand in the Southern Region for thousands of years was due to the influence of the Sect rules.

"Hmm... you..."

Since returning from the Water Marsh Kingdom, Liu Lili had planted deep roots of affection and had a stubborn desire to control Chen Xuan.

She did not want to see Chen Xuan leave.

But how could she stop him?

She could only say aggrievedly, "Bring me some high-quality rouge from the Miaoyin Pavilion in Wanjian Immortal City, and also some musical Magical Artifacts."

"Alright!"

Standing at the outer peak ferry, Chen Xuan agreed and then flew onto the flying boat.

One night passed without incident.

The flying boat parked at the airport of Wanjian Immortal City had been delayed for several hours.

Many guests chose to stay overnight and enter the Immortal City during the day.

Unlike the nightlife of Fusheng Immortal City, the Cultivators in Wanjian Immortal City were mostly Sword Cultivators, and their attitude towards cultivation was almost identical to that of the Liuyang Sword Sect.

There was no nightlife.

Therefore, to save money, Chen Xuan also stayed until morning.

After eating breakfast, Chen Xuan watched the crowd, each with a Spirit Beast in hand, and got off the flying boat.

Could it be that even Wanjian Immortal City, which had the most Sword Cultivators, now had so many Spirit Beasts?

The development of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce was truly unexpected.

Chen Xuan became increasingly expectant.

In addition, today, there was another purpose, the "ascension spirit liquid"!

He had previously given an order to the Chamber of Commerce that he needed it.

But this ascension spirit liquid concerned the auction two years later, so they had to be cautious, requiring the consent of all three presidents.

It was precisely because of this, and the fact that the other two also wanted to meet Chen Xuan, that this trip today came about.
