76: Tianyuan Sword, Jiuyao Sword Canon

'Is this the natal sword seed?'

Examining the thumb-sized, dark red 'seed' in his palm, Liu Xuan felt a connection to it in his mind.

With a thought, the seed transformed into wisps of thread, merging into his palm and traveling along his Meridians into his Dantian.

The sword seed condensed in Liu Xuan's Dantian, wrapped and nourished by his mana; it would take seven days to crack its shell and take form.

According to the secret technique's description, once the natal flying sword was formed, it only needed to continuously absorb Five Elements spiritual items to gradually advance.

However, Liu Xuan's Cultivation was only at the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, so his natal flying sword could only reach the Medium Grade of the first tier at most.

His original refined gold Flying Sword was a High Grade first-tier, and after all that effort, it had become a Medium Grade first-tier...

It looked like a loss, but in reality, it was a huge gain!

A natal Magical Artifact was inherently one minor level higher than a standard Magical Artifact; a Medium Grade first-tier natal flying sword was no worse than a High Grade first-tier refined gold Magical Artifact.

If he learned a sword Dao technique, the natal flying sword would be even more intuitive to control, making it absolutely the most suitable Magical Artifact for him.

Taking out a Yellow Dragon Pill to consume, then swallowing a whole bottle of qi and blood pill, Liu Xuan's pale complexion slowly began to recover.

After meditating for a moment to regulate his breathing, Liu Xuan walked out of the Cultivation Chamber, accompanied by his personal bodyguard, Little Shadow.

For safety, Liu Xuan took Little Shadow wherever he went, except for the Sect.

The Sect had many experts, and there was even a Golden Core True Person in seclusion on the mountaintop; he dared not bring Little Shadow, a Foundation Establishment corpse puppet, inside.

Thus, Liu Xuan left Little Shadow in the Cultivation Chamber of the shop building; the city was a mix of good and bad people, and no one would pay attention to an ordinary female Cultivator.

"Husband, are you leaving again?"

Lin Anqi did not know how long she had been waiting at the door, looking pitiful. Glancing at Little Shadow following by Liu Xuan's side, she actually felt a bit envious.

Liu Xuan could not stand Lin Anqi looking like this, so he consoled her, "Don't worry! From now on, I will come back to accompany you for two days every month!"

With the Iron Feather Eagle, Liu Xuan could come back to check on them whenever he was free, without wasting much time.

"Cultivate well!"

"If you can make a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, I will let you go to Yongning early."

Lin Anqi's martial arts Cultivation was at the Late Stage of the Inner Qi Realm, slightly worse than Lin Xue'er. Her talent was not bad, but she just wasn't very diligent.

"Really?"

Lin Anqi said happily.

"When has your husband ever lied to you?"

Lin Anqi and Lin Xue'er were quite special; Liu Xuan truly had some feelings for them.

He did not want to treat them only as tools for childbearing; before the two women made a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, he did not intend to continue having them bear children.

There were plenty of maids and Concubines in Yongning; Liu Xuan was not lacking for children from those two ordinary women without Spiritual Roots.

Saying goodbye to Lin Anqi and several maidservants, Liu Xuan boarded the Iron Feather Eagle and returned to Yongning.

In mid-air.

Fierce winds swept past him, and Liu Xuan had to maintain the Wind-Avoidance Technique the entire time to be comfortable.

This Iron Feather Eagle was not slow, but the flight experience was poor, completely incomparable to the Medium Grade first-tier Water-type Pack Ray.

Looking back at the motionless Little Shadow, a sudden idea popped into Liu Xuan's mind.

"Little Shadow, come to the front."

Little Shadow's figure flickered, and she instantly appeared in front of Liu Xuan. The fierce wind generated by the flight was blocked by her, and the wind blowing onto Liu Xuan instantly lessened.

...

Yongning. Liu Residence.

"Young Master!" "Young Master has returned!" "Husband!" "Is this a flying Spirit Beast? So majestic!" "I really want to sit on it and try!"

...

Some of the maidservants in the residence were only ordinary Martial Artists. Although the Iron Feather Eagle was only the lowest-level flying Spirit Beast, this was the first time they had seen one up close.

The Liu Residence was formerly the Chen Family mansion and was equipped with a Spirit Beast yard, which saved Liu Xuan from having to build a dedicated area.

He took the Iron Feather Eagle to the Spirit Beast yard and instructed the servants to feed it ordinary pork every day.

The Iron Feather Eagle was not picky; feeding it ordinary poultry was also fine. Three meals a day, with one two-hundred-pound fat pig per meal, was enough.

Liu Xuan handed the Beast-Control Token to Xia He; they could use it when traveling in the future, as it would be a waste to just keep it idle anyway.

Evening. Dinner time.

There were over twenty maidservants, and the living room could barely hold them all...

There was no other way! They had to be divided into several tables and sit separately; the specific seating arrangement reflected the status of these maidservants.

Xia He, She Xiaorong, Bai Zhiwei, Wang Yuwan, Luo Ruoyan, along with Liu Xuan's sister Liu Miao, could sit with Liu Xuan.

The remaining maidservants were divided into several groups and levels according to their status in the Family.

After so many days, his sister Liu Miao still felt it was somewhat absurd! Was her younger brother really a Cultivator?

Out of the twenty-something maidservants, half were already pregnant. Looking at Liu Xuan's demeanor, it seemed he planned to get them all pregnant.

Not only did Liu Miao find it absurd, but the entire Yongning Cultivation World also found it absurd. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the upper echelons of the various Families would never have believed it.

Liu Xuan did not care about secular opinions. While eating, he listened to Xia He and She Xiaorong describe the situation in Yongning.

Thanks to the tough measures of Senior Sister Xiao Ran, the increase in Robber Cultivators at the border had stabilized.

That mysterious Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator should have some misgivings and had not caused any major disturbances, only hiding behind the scenes and manipulating things.

With the situation stabilized, Liu Xuan was relieved! What he feared most was the situation spiraling out of control and dragging him into it.

Peaceful times passed quickly.

Seven days later. Cultivation Chamber.

Liu Xuan's consciousness sank into his Dantian. The dark red sword seed cracked open, and a pure white, sharp Sword Qi thrust out.

The natal flying sword!

Liu Xuan opened his right hand, and a pure white sword light emerged from his palm, condensing into a small, pure white sword.

"Hum!"

Mana was infused into it, and the small sword grew to the size of a normal Flying Sword, hovering in front of Liu Xuan.

The Flying Sword had no hilt and was pure white throughout. The tip of the sword flickered with sharp sword radiance; just looking at it gave the illusion of one's skin being cut and stung.

This natal flying sword had refined the pure gold attribute of the original refined gold Flying Sword. Although its grade had dropped to the Medium Grade of the first tier, its Origin was several levels higher than refined gold.

"The Five Elements are the Origin of heaven and earth; I might as well call you the heavenly origin sword!"

Liu Xuan formed a sword shape with his fingers, his mind merging with the heavenly origin sword. The sword body suddenly became scorching hot, blooming with light like a blazing sun.

Nine Luminaries Sword Canon!

Liu Xuan had gone to the Sect's Spell Hall in his capacity as a Personal Disciple to obtain a sword Dao canon.

This sword canon was one of the three great sword canons of the Nascent Soul superior Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and was sufficient for a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator to Cultivate.

As the Red Pine Sect was a subordinate Sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it only had the Foundation Establishment Stage portion, and all Liu Xuan could obtain was the Qi Refinement Stage portion.

The difficulty of mastering this sword canon was extremely high; there were not many people in the Sect who Cultivated it, and those who had achieved success were as rare as Phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Liu Xuan possessed the Sword Heart Clarity talent, so naturally, he was not afraid of any difficulty; the harder, the better!

Scorching light covered the heavenly origin sword, making it look like a small sun that one could not look at directly, unable to see the Flying Sword itself.

Liu Xuan moved his Divine Thought slightly, and the heavenly origin sword swam through the room at an extremely fast speed, as agile as a swimming fish.

Liu Xuan took out a High Grade first-tier Armor Wood Talisman and activated it; a thick, cyan-green wooden armor appeared in front of him.

"Break!"

Liu Xuan pointed forward, and the heavenly origin sword, carrying the scorching power of true yang and the sharp power of pure gold, bombarded the Armor Wood Talisman shield.

"Crack~"

The Armor Wood Talisman shield cracked!
