280: Fourth-tier cultivation technique: Gengjin Sword Control Technique

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Yue Li did not stand on ceremony with Liu Xuan. If it were other things, it would be fine, but she truly liked this Spirit Wine.

If it weren't for Liu Xuan saying that the supply of ascension spirit wine was limited and not for sale, she would have wanted to buy a large quantity.

"Daddy!"

"Look at the little flower I picked."

Spirit Phoenix held a small white flower in her hand. Taking advantage of the maid's inattention, she slipped over to Liu Xuan's side.

"Young Miss, Master has important business. Shall we go play over there?" The maid responsible for looking after the child ran over in a hurry, looking very anxious.

Liu Xuan waved his hand to signal them to leave, then picked up Spirit Phoenix and sat her on his lap. "You little clever ghost!"

Spirit Phoenix giggled, then tilted her head to look at Yue Li opposite them. "Daddy, why haven't I seen this pretty auntie before?"

"Uh..."

"This is not an auntie, you should call her Auntie Yue, you know?"

Liu Xuan looked at Yue Li awkwardly. "Senior Sister, the child doesn't know any better. Please don't mind."

Yue Li waved her hand and smiled. "It's fine!"

"Auntie Yue?"

Spirit Phoenix seemed to understand, hopped off Liu Xuan, and walked up to Yue Li with the little white flower. She held out the flower. "For Auntie Yue."

Yue Li reached out and took the little white flower, her expression somewhat dazed. A moment later, she revealed a gentle smile. "Thank you!"

"Auntie Yue is so pretty!" The little girl said, then skipped away to play elsewhere.

Watching the little girl run off, Yue Li turned to Liu Xuan. "I will send someone to discuss the cooperation matters in a while, so I will take my leave now."

"Take care, Senior Sister!"

Liu Xuan stood up to see her off, and Yue Li flew towards Feiyu City.

...

Liu Xuan left the cooperation matters with the Heavenly Sword Sect to Su Wan and Xiao Ran, with She Xiaorong and Zi Lan assisting.

Su Wan had a background in the Su Family of the Heavenly Sword Sect, so it was much more convenient for her to be in charge. She Xiaorong and Zi Lan were familiar with the Merchant Alliance, so they could handle many of the cooperation details better.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the 100th descendant entering the martial path. Obtained Rank 4 Low Grade Cultivation Technique: Geng Metal Sword Control Technique.]

Just as Liu Xuan was listening to She Xiaorong report the details of the specific cooperation plan, the System notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there a problem with the cooperation plan?"

She Xiaorong stopped her report and looked at Liu Xuan curiously.

"It's nothing! You can report the cooperation matters directly to Su Wan. I have something to attend to."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuan vanished into thin air, leaving She Xiaorong to shake her head helplessly.

Star Space.

A flash of starlight flickered, and Liu Xuan appeared in the small courtyard.

The Star Space had expanded to nearly two kilometers in diameter. Besides the small courtyard in the center, flowers and plants were planted nearby, and there was a treasure vault to the side, specially used to store precious materials.

A small pond was stocked with some ornamental fish, and a green snake lay on the edge, occasionally eating one or two.

The Star Space was currently managed by Lin Xue'er, and it already had a bit of the feel of a Family Secret Realm.

Liu Xuan paid no mind to this. After entering the Cultivation Chamber, he immediately began to examine the golden ball of light in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Geng Metal Sword Control Technique: Rank 4 Low Grade Metal Attribute Cultivation Technique, can be cultivated to the Early Nascent Soul Stage.]

[Geng Metal Qi inherently possesses sharpness; using Metal attribute spells doubles their power. It comes with a Sword Control Formula of extraordinary power, which can achieve the Geng Metal Sword Control Divine Ability, capable of breaking through all things...]

The light ball dispersed into his Sea of Consciousness, and countless profound insights flooded into Liu Xuan's Divine Soul. Threads of golden light appeared in his vision, carrying a Concept of piercing through everything.

At the same time, the dao foundation in his Dantian lit up with a golden light. The Green Wood Longevity Qi that usually nurtured his body gradually transformed into sharp and tough Geng Metal Qi.

A golden sword-shaped seal formed on his dao foundation, radiating a Concept of extreme sharpness and the destruction of all things.

"Hum~"

Three Yang Body Gathering, Azure Wood Divine Light, Kun Yuan Earth Control, and Geng Metal Sword Control—the four Natal Spell seals lit up simultaneously, and the dao foundation emitted a dazzling divine light.

Four of the Five Elements Cultivation Methods had been gathered; only Water was missing!

His dao foundation quality had already reached the Second Grade level. Once the Five Elements were perfected, it would at least be First Grade.

The higher the quality of the dao foundation, the higher the success rate of Core Formation, and the stronger the combat power. Once the Five Elements were perfected to achieve First Grade, or even surpass First Grade dao foundation, Liu Xuan did not know how strong he could become.

"Hmm?"

Carefully sensing the Geng Metal Qi circulating within his Meridians, Liu Xuan discovered that it actually had a certain effect of tempering the Physical Body. However, his Physical Body was too strong; if he didn't focus carefully, he wouldn't be able to detect it at all.

"Geng Metal Qi can temper the Physical Body's muscles and bones; it is quite compatible with the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method!"

Liu Xuan planned to use the Geng Metal Sword Control Technique to recreate a 'Geng Metal Body Shaping Art' and 'Kun Yuan Body Shaping Art' following the Green Wood Body Shaping Art, allowing his children to choose their Cultivation Techniques based on their talents.

The Green Wood Body Shaping Art ostensibly cultivated the Green Wood Longevity Method. The Green Wood Longevity Method was not conducive to combat, and it was hard to explain the Body Refining parts mixed within it. In the future, he could temporarily use the Geng Metal Sword Control Technique as the Family's fundamental Cultivation Technique.

He would handle these things slowly later. Liu Xuan began to familiarize himself with the four types of Qi coexisting within his body.

"Except for the Three Yang Body Gathering Method which I cultivated myself, the rest were instilled by the System, and the Foundation is solid.

The Three Yang Qi is the weakest, followed by the Longevity Qi and Kun Yuan Qi, and the strongest is the Geng Metal Qi."

Fortunately, because the Cultivation Techniques were of different Ranks, the four types of Qi varied in strength, but fortunately, they could be converted into each other, so they wouldn't become unbalanced.

However, he discovered that there was a slight stagnation during the conversion, which was likely caused by the lack of Water in the Five Elements, preventing Perfection.

Once the Five Elements were perfected, generating and restraining each other to form a perfect cycle, there would be a qualitative change.

"Hum~"

Liu Xuan spread his right hand, and after a flash of five-colored spiritual light, the heavenly origin sword slowly appeared.

The Geng Metal seal on his dao foundation lit up, and the heavenly origin sword instantly transformed into a golden sword light. The terrifying Geng Metal Sword Intent seemed as if it would tear space apart.

"Hum~"

A scorching white light was born from the Geng Metal sword light, and a circle of blazing light enveloped the surroundings.

Nine Radiance Sword Intent!

Geng Metal belongs to Yang Metal, and it had a perfect affinity with the Nine Radiance Sword Intent. The power of the sword light instantly increased by more than double.

"Hum~"

A line of blood was born from the center of the sword light, a thick smell of blood permeated the air, and a terrifying murderous intent disturbed the Divine Soul.

Killing Sword Dao, Red Pine Sword Intent!

Liu Xuan learned this from the Red Pine Sword Technique given by Xiao Changfeng. Although it was not as good as the other two, its power could not be underestimated.

With the three top-tier Sword Intents superimposed, Liu Xuan did not know exactly how strong he would be if he struck with full force.

"Even if I can't compare to a Golden Core True Person, a False Core True Person like Yue Li probably wouldn't be able to block it!"

"When the Puppet Gu completely controls Xiao Changfeng, I can use him to test my skills."

"Three types of Sword Intent, it's too messy!"

"If I can fuse them into one and achieve my own unique Sword Dao, the power should be able to rise to another level."

...

For the better part of a day, Liu Xuan stayed in the Star Space studying the newly acquired Geng Metal Qi. Only after he had basically mastered it did he come out.

His combat power had improved significantly. Believing himself comparable to a low-tier Golden Core True Person, Liu Xuan was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Husband!"

"Husband!"

Lin Xue'er ran over in a hurry, her breathing rapid. "I have good news to tell you!"

"Oh?"

Liu Xuan smiled and picked up the petite Lin Xue'er in a princess carry, spinning her around. "What good news?"

"The eldest, he has broken through to the Great Perfection of Xiantian!!" Lin Xue'er said happily, hooking her arms around Liu Xuan's neck.
