102: I am a swordsman!

Yu Ping said, “That’s right.”

Yu Ping didn’t want to talk anymore and left.

Tang Tian then noticed that Yu Ping’s cultivation had reached the Qi Refining stage, 3rd level.

Yu Xu said, “Yu Tian, you go pick two thousand people first. Try to stay in the Yu Family these few days. Even if you want to leave, don’t go too far from Qingmu County.”

Tang Tian said, “I’ve never commanded two thousand Cultivators before. What will happen to me if too many of them die?”

Yu Xu said, “If two thousand Cultivators die, they die. At worst, we’ll just find more later. If this mission fails, you’ll be transferred to the Yu Family’s logistics to teach the Yu Family’s Cultivators the Earthly Fiend Fist.”

Tang Tian asked, “Then will I be able to participate in the battle when you break through the Murong Family?”

Yu Xu said, “You wish.”

Tang Tian grumbled inwardly, “Alright, it seems this mission must be won.”

...

Yu Xu led Tang Tian to the group of Cultivators. These Cultivators came from Shashi County, and there were over three thousand Cultivators present.

Letting Tang Tian choose two thousand of them directly showed that the Yu Family Ancestor still trusted Tang Tian quite a bit.

However, after Tang Tian made his selection, there would still be a thousand people left. He wondered where Yu Xu and Yu Ping’s people would come from.

The three thousand Cultivators looked at Tang Tian nervously. Although Tang Tian’s Lianqi Sixth Level cultivation wasn’t much in their eyes,

Tang Tian had the Yu Family Ancestor backing him.

Tang Tian said, “Cultivators with cultivation below Qi Refining stage, 1st level, step forward.”

The remaining two thousand-plus Cultivators were the ones Tang Tian chose.

The two thousand people looked at Tang Tian fawningly.

Tang Tian said, “You will follow me now. I will call upon you when I need you. You can simply form one team of two thousand.”

Since these two thousand people were from the Yu Family, Tang Tian didn’t want to bother training them.

Although Yu Xu really wanted to remind Tang Tian that forming two thousand-plus people into one team was a bit ridiculous,

Tang Tian was their commander, so Yu Xu still didn’t say anything.

Yu Xu said, “The rest of you, follow me.”

Tang Tian said, “You all stay here.”

Tang Tian also left.

He found an inn in Qingmu County to stay in, then entered the Medicine Venerable Space.

As usual, Tang Tian ate the Spirit Rice cooked by Big Goose and the others, then took out the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword and the Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique.

He began to Cultivate these two Cultivation Techniques.

The Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword is a pseudo-Earth Rank Cultivation Technique that can enhance one’s strength, so he Cultivated the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword first.

As for the Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique, it’s for disguise, capable of preventing Foundation Establishment Cultivators from seeing Tang Tian’s true appearance, so there’s no rush for now.

...

The Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword is a long-range attack method, and the entire Cultivation Technique is divided into three layers.

At the Getting Started (Entry) stage, one can launch swords, meaning using Flying Swords to attack people. A Lianqi Sixth Level Cultivator can control fifty Flying Swords.

However, the advantage of this Cultivation Technique is that there is no upper limit to the number of swords that can be controlled. As long as one’s cultivation is sufficient, tens of thousands of Flying Swords can kill people.

Minor Achievement means the sword can absorb the blood of Cultivators. This is the point that the great scholar said was evil about this Cultivation Technique: the blood of these Cultivators can be returned to oneself through the sword,

transforming into Spiritual Qi.

Major Achievement involves learning a Formation of one hundred thousand swords. When released, one hundred thousand swords stab down from the sky, causing astonishing damage.

...

Tang Tian said, “Frost Palm’s Minor Achievement can create swords. Frost Palm is compatible with the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword.”

This would save him the tedious step of forging swords.

Tang Tian said, “The Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword is truly an overbearing Cultivation Technique. One hundred thousand swords stabbing down probably can’t control the area, and it’s inevitable that innocents will be harmed. No wonder the great scholar said it was cruel.

If I use it multiple times in crowded places, won’t I become an evil Cultivator?”

Tang Tian shook his head and said, “I’m still thinking too much. Even achieving Minor Achievement with this Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword isn’t easy, let alone Major Achievement.”

The first layer of this Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword is not easy to Cultivate.

It requires using Spiritual Qi to launch long-range sword attacks, just like how those Foundation Establishment Cultivators fight.

When they fight, countless weapons float around them, and they rarely act themselves, which is very impressive.

And this Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword allows Qi Refining Cultivators to experience the long-range attacks of Foundation Establishment Cultivators while still in the Qi Refining stage.

It’s bound to be difficult.

Tang Tian took out the greatsword from his storage ring. Although this greatsword was heavy for a sword, he then took out the swords from behind Big Yellow and Wū Qī.

Now he had three swords.

Tang Tian used spiritual power to lift these swords into the air. The swords lifted by a Qi Refining Cultivator’s spiritual power cannot be used for attack.

But the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword has its own set of operating methods. Forming a sword seal in the Dantian counts as getting Started (Entry).

Following the operating method of the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword, the sword seal formed in three days. In Tang Tian’s Dantian, there was a half-inch small sword seal.

Attacking with a sword relies on this sword seal.

Tang Tian said, “I finally formed this sword seal. I’ve never touched a sword Cultivation Technique before, and forming a sword seal out of thin air was truly painful.”

Tang Tian raised his hand, and the three swords in front of him slowly flew up.

Tang Tian was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Three Swords Combined!”

The three swords attacked forward, reaching a maximum distance of one hundred steps, depending on one’s cultivation. A Lianqi Seventh Level Cultivator could add another two hundred steps.

This made Big Yellow and Little Leopard envious, and they both cried out that they wanted to learn too.

They couldn’t speak.

They barked “Woof woof” and howled “Owoo.”

Tang Tian said, “My cultivation is not enough right now. I’ll pass it on to you at Lianqi Seventh Level.”

The Ten Thousand Devouring Method allows for the transmission of Cultivation Techniques to contracted beast pets at Lianqi Seventh Level.

Tang Tian was only five days of Cultivation away from Lianqi Seventh Level cultivation.

As long as he refined the Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Venerable Space into Medicinal Pills, according to the Medicine Venerable Space’s Medicinal Pill reserves,

and consumed the Spirit Gathering Pill and Body Tempering Pill, he would definitely Breakthrough to Lianqi Seventh Level.

Tang Tian continued to attack remotely with the sword. The sword was like his hand, moving very smoothly in the air.

After playing enough, he returned the swords to Big Yellow and Wū Qī. Tang Tian said,

“I need to make dozens more swords. I wonder what my limit is. I should be able to control fifty swords at Lianqi Sixth Level.

Although I can’t be a Sword Cultivator who steps on Flying Swords, I’ll be a Sword Cultivator who controls swords!”

The Spiritual Qi in the Medicine Venerable Space was getting lower, and Tang Tian was now anxious about the lack of fertilizer.

But he couldn’t just kill people out of nowhere; that would make him an evil Cultivator, no different from Chi Daizi.

So now Tang Tian felt anxious.

Tang Tian said, “Where can I find fertilizer? I can only find Qi Refining Cultivators, but Qi Refining Cultivators aren’t like cabbages; how do I find them?

Forget it, let’s Cultivate.”

Tang Tian took out the Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique to Cultivate.

This Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique requires animal skin as a medium. It needs to be made into a human face mask and worn. The effect is that even Foundation Establishment Cultivators cannot tell who you are.

The effect is good, but the process of making a mask from animal skin is difficult. One must use Spiritual Qi to perfectly draw a face.

What the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said was difficult was not the Cultivation of the Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique, but rather the need for dexterity and skill.

Tang Tian looked at the group of Big Geese and had an idea: he could transmit the Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique to animals that had eaten the hallucination intellect beast heart grass...
