24: Chapter 24 Senior Brother, I've Comprehended Sword Intent

Pile after pile of medium-grade origin stones were taken out of the Storage Ring by Lin Ming.

Immediately after, Lin Ming's attention returned to his divine sea, and he opened that Wordless Heavenly Book, turning to the first page.

An invisible force radiated from the Wordless Heavenly Book.

In the next second, the Origin Qi contained within these medium-grade origin stones was instantly sucked dry.

They turned into a pile of powder.

Lin Ming

Cultivation: Ninth Revolution of Nirvana

Cultivation Technique: Ninth Layer of Hunyuan Lianxu Scripture (Fragmented)

Techniques: Void Tribulation Finger (Perfection), Nine Transformations of the Wandering Dragon (Perfection), Profound Extreme Seal (Perfection), Five Elements Thunder Technique (Perfection)...

Divine Ability: None for now

Sub-professions: Alchemist (Grade Nine), Artifact Refiner (Grade Nine), Formation Master (Grade Nine), Spirit Planter (Grade Nine)

origin spirit: 10,000

Ten thousand medium-grade origin stones were exchanged for ten thousand points of origin spirit.

But for Lin Ming, these ten thousand points of origin spirit couldn't do much for the time being.

He couldn't make a Breakthrough in his cultivation Realm for now.

At the level of Cultivation Techniques, he had only mastered nine layers of his "Hunyuan Lianxu Scripture"; to fully perfect it, he would need ten million origin spirit points.

But if he only wanted to deduce the next layer, one hundred thousand origin spirit points would be enough.

As for these sub-professions, above Grade Nine is the Saint Grade, and breaking through to the Saint Grade would require five hundred thousand origin spirit points.

The four professions would require two million origin spirit points.

This was indeed a huge sum for Lin Ming, but gathering these origin stones was only a matter of time.

Lin Ming wasn't particularly anxious about this.

After all, for him right now, the thing he lacked least was time.

"Everything costs money."

Lin Ming turned around and walked into the Alchemy room.

Since he was already here, he might as well refine the Medicinal Pills for Jiang Siyuan and the others; after all, they were his financial backers, and he couldn't ignore their requests.

...

"That trash Blood Butcher is dead."

In a mountain covered with black trees, a cold, sinister voice rang out.

"Is the person killed?"

"No."

"As expected of trash, he couldn't even handle such a small matter."

"It's a pity he still had a bit of utility."

"Then change to someone else; let Gui Shi go."

"Fine, Gui Shi's cleanup over there is almost finished anyway."

"Yuanxu Mountain, let them jump around for a few more days."

As the voice faded, this black mountain forest returned to silence once more.

...

Under the tree again, on the lounge chair again.

Lin Ming's life had also returned to tranquility.

It was just that there was one more person in his peaceful life.

Su Lianxue stood on the open ground not far behind Lin Ming, continuing her cultivation.

This Junior Sister of his loved cultivation far more than he did, practicing in the morning and the afternoon.

If her physical body couldn't withstand high-intensity cultivation indefinitely, this girl would probably continue her cultivation at night as well.

"A Nine-and-a-half-segment aptitude is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Ming said.

Her constant cultivation had also rewarded Su Lianxue.

It had been less than a month since Su Lianxue joined Zichen Peak, and her Body Tempering Realm had already completed seven temperings.

Although there were bonuses from top-grade Blood Qi Pills and Medicinal Baths, her cultivation speed still far exceeded that of ordinary people.

This was the terror brought by a nine-and-a-half-segment cultivation Aptitude.

At this rate, she would likely complete nine temperings by next month, reaching the requirements to charge into the Spirit Guiding Realm.

Of course, this was assuming Su Lianxue didn't continue tempering after the ninth time.

However, with her nine-and-a-half-segment cultivation Aptitude, it would indeed be a bit of a pity if she stopped tempering after nine times.

But all of this depended on Su Lianxue's own choice; Lin Ming certainly wouldn't interfere with her decision.

After all, this was her own path of cultivation, and everything had to be decided by her.

Then again, he hadn't seen that girl Yu Yaoqin during this period.

In the past, she would come to harass him from time to time, but since that attack by the Blood Butcher Old Demon, the girl hadn't come to Zichen Peak.

Could it be that she was stimulated by that incident and was now focused on her cultivation?

If so, it was a good thing for Lin Ming; his quiet and stable life could continue for a while longer.

Thinking of this, Lin Ming felt a wave of comfort.

"Senior Brother."

At this moment, an untimely voice rang in Lin Ming's ear.

This voice instantly shattered the comfort in Lin Ming's heart, causing his slightly upturned lips to freeze.

Why did she appear as soon as he thought of her? Perhaps he shouldn't have thought of her at all.

Yu Yaoqin's figure gradually appeared in their sight.

"Junior Sister, it's been many days. Have you missed your Senior Sister?"

Yu Yaoqin also greeted Su Lianxue.

"Senior Sister."

Su Lianxue temporarily stopped her movements and nodded in greeting.

"Senior Brother, I have comprehended a complete Sword Intent."

Yu Yaoqin walked quickly to Lin Ming and shared the good news with him.

It was precisely that attack by Blood Butcher that made Yu Yaoqin face the fear of death for the first time. After returning to the mountain, she turned that fear of death into motivation for her efforts, coupled with her mother's guidance.

Yu Yaoqin finally comprehended a complete Sword Intent and became a qualified Sword Cultivator.

This was also an Opportunity for Yu Yaoqin.

"Then congratulations, Junior Sister."

A faint smile barely appeared on Lin Ming's face as he spoke to her.

"Comprehended Sword Intent?"

Su Lianxue also heard Yu Yaoqin's words.

Only by comprehending Sword Intent can a Sword Cultivator become qualified; a Sword Cultivator without Sword Intent is not worthy of the name.

At Yu Yaoqin's age, having comprehended Sword Intent, her talent in the Way of the Sword was considered decent in Su Lianxue's eyes.

However, compared to Lin Ming, she was still far behind.

It was also after the battle with Blood Butcher that Su Lianxue realized she had underestimated Lin Ming once again.

Lin Ming's Sword Intent was likely not just at the fifth level; the seventh or even eighth level was a possibility.

"Senior Brother, why do you look a bit unhappy?"

Yu Yaoqin also noticed Lin Ming's slightly stiff expression and asked in confusion.

"No, it's nothing like that."

Lin Ming shook his head.

As long as you didn't disturb his peaceful life, Lin Ming would be extremely grateful.

"Really?"

Yu Yaoqin had a suspicious smile on her face.

"Senior Sister Yu, congratulations on comprehending Sword Intent."

Su Lianxue also congratulated Yu Yaoqin at this time.

"Junior Sister Lianxue, once you reach the Spirit Guiding Realm, you should also become a Sword Cultivator. I'll teach you how to practice the sword."

After hearing Su Lianxue's words, Yu Yaoqin stopped caring about Lin Ming's previous response and turned to speak to Su Lianxue.

"I'll consider it."

Su Lianxue nodded.

Perhaps becoming a Sword Cultivator would also be a good choice.
