Chapter 25: The Jade Green Blade, the Mandarin Ducks Axe

The outer city has spiritual energy.

Whether it's the natural spiritual energy that permeates the world, the spiritual energy that seeps from the vast mountains of the Eastern Wasteland, or the spiritual energy that leaks out from the inner city, there is more or less some spiritual energy.

Otherwise, so many wandering cultivators wouldn't gather from all over.

However, the concentration of spiritual energy is only barely enough for cultivation.

It's really barely enough. Before, Luo Chen's cultivation progress would only move a little bit after half a month of hard practice.

In other words, if he wanted to fill the 100-point progress bar for the third level of the Qi Condensation stage, it would take him four to five years.

During this time, he couldn't misuse his spiritual energy, ensuring that each cultivation session brought some benefit.

In fact, the original owner indeed struggled for more than three years without making any progress in cultivation.

Of course, this was also due to the difficulty of making a living and not having enough time for cultivation.

After Luo Chen crossed over, he relied on the proficiency panel to improve the proficiency of the Eternal Spring Technique to the proficient level, gradually improving the situation.

Even so, he was stuck at around 70 points on the progress bar for a long time.

Finally, with the help of a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills and the Perfect level of the Eternal Spring Technique, he barely broke through to the fourth level.

However, if he had been cultivating in the inner city at that time,

This time would have been reduced by at least one-third!

"This is the charm of a spirit vein!"

"And this is just a first-grade spirit vein!"

"Imagine how fast the disciples of sects with second-grade and third-grade spirit veins must cultivate!"

Luo Chen let out three sighs in succession, showing how agitated he was.

If he were in those places, could he cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Condensation before his lifespan ended?

Luo Chen didn't know, but he knew that his life was already much better than before.

Next, he must strive to live in the inner city for a long time; this is the true place for cultivation.

Not the outer city, which is a murky place mixed with dirt, feces, and occasional blood.

However, this sigh was interrupted when it was midnight, and Luo Chen was stunned by the cold.

"How can it be so cold?"

"Even my body at the fourth level of Qi Condensation can barely withstand it."

"I must buy a quilt tomorrow!"

No way, it's too cold to sleep.

Luo Chen got out of bed, deciding to find something to do.

Processing medicinal materials was out of the question, as he lacked the tools and some ingredients.

Luo Chen took out the set of jade green blades and tried to infuse them with spiritual energy.

Buzz

A clear buzzing sound rang out, but the seven flying blades remained motionless.

"What's wrong?"

He thought for a moment, infusing each blade with spiritual energy one by one. Only after infusing the largest wooden blade did the seven blades emit a green glow together.

"Turns out the sub-blades are controlled by the main blade."

Understanding this, Luo Chen became more and more interested in playing with them.

Under his control, the seven flying blades circled around him like floating cannons.

"Go!"

Luo Chen pointed at a corner of the wall, and a sub-blade shot out.

Like an arrow, the sub-blade buzzed and pierced the ground with a sharp sound.

The speed was fast, and the power was considerable.

The ground, made of blue bricks, was pierced as easily as tofu.

And this was just one sub-blade. What if all seven blades were used together?

What if they formed an array that could attack and defend?

Luo Chen was very interested, but then awkwardly ran to the corner to pull out the small wooden blade.

"I must buy a book on manipulation techniques; I can't afford to save money on this!"

Indeed, he hadn't learned manipulation techniques, so his spiritual energy could only move in straight lines.

It was the kind of "I just use brute force, you handle the miracles" approach.

The Soul-Piercing Nails were fine, as they were meant to be used once and discarded.

But this set of jade green blades was about flexibility and adaptability, like a forest of trees.

Without manipulation techniques, it would be a waste of this set of magical weapons.

After playing with the jade green blades for a while, Luo Chen reluctantly put them back in his storage bag.

In theory, manipulation techniques are a flexible application of spiritual energy. If one is sufficiently familiar with spiritual energy, even without these techniques, one can control various magical weapons freely.

But clearly, Luo Chen didn't have that level of proficiency or insight.

Or rather, most low-level cultivators couldn't achieve that level.

With so little spiritual energy, how could they have the opportunity to become familiar with it?

Therefore, high-level cultivators created manipulation techniques for low-level cultivators.

Not playing with the jade green blades anymore, Luo Chen had other ways to pass the time.

Lightness techniques plus reading!

Fortunately, the room hadn't been furnished yet, so there was plenty of space.

Xiaoyao You isn't just a speed-focused lightness technique. At a high level, it emphasizes freedom and ease.

Luo Chen moved around the room, sometimes jumping onto the roof, sometimes collapsing to the ground, trying to control his strength each time.

Compared to his previous large-scale movements, this was a different experience.

In his hand was the book "Six Regions' Scenic Records," which he had only read halfway through.

Previously, he had learned the most about the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect and the Joyful Sect.

After all, one was a local sect, and the other was a sect known for its romantic stories.

"Mu Qingcheng, one of the six great killers of Tianfan City, is a rare female Golden Core cultivator. Her two mother and child mandarin ducks axes have the power to invert the universe and divide yin and yang."

Luo Chen was amazed.

Among the six great sects of the Far East, one is famous for forging, and that is Tianfan City.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the Great River Market is a property of Tianfan City.

This sect is extremely skilled in forging, not just common magical weapons but also various unique weapons.

Over the years, they have forged six powerful unique magical treasures.

Tianfan City bestowed these treasures on six Golden Core cultivators, who have gained a formidable reputation over the years.

Like the Mu Qingcheng he was reading about, who spent ten years building a foundation and a hundred years reaching the Golden Core stage. Although she hasn't participated in any major wars, she has gained a formidable reputation among Golden Core cultivators.

Relying on her mandarin ducks axes, she has opened up new markets for Tianfan City's properties in the lands beyond the Far East.

After reading about this female cultivator's achievements, Luo Chen was impressed by her strength and had one realization.

"Even Golden Core cultivators have to work hard to earn spirit stones!"

What he was doing now was no different from what they were doing.

In other words, I am a Golden Core cultivator!

Creak!

The layout of this traditional courtyard house is very traditional, with the main gate and the front room adjacent.

So, when Luo Chen got up early in the morning to go shopping, he happened to meet the girl in colorful clothes who had just returned from work.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, uh," the girl yawned, her slender waist catching the eye.

"Did you come back so late?"

The girl said helplessly, "Recently, business at Tianxiang Tower has been exceptionally good, so we dancers and singers naturally have to work harder."

"Exceptionally good?"

Hasn't business at Tianxiang Tower always been good?

Looking at Luo Chen, who was about to leave, the girl asked curiously, "Are you going out? By the way, I haven't asked you what you do. You're at the fourth level of Qi Condensation and have enough spirit stones to live in the inner city."

"I'm a pill refiner. I usually set up a stall at the South City Wandering Cultivator Market. If you need anything, I can bring it back for you," Luo Chen said.

"A pill refiner!"

The girl's drowsiness instantly disappeared.

Her neighbor was so impressive.

"Talk later, I have a busy day today."

Luo Chen waved and hurried out the door.

The girl in colorful clothes leaned against the door, watching Luo Chen's departing back, lost in thought.

It's Monday, brothers and sisters, please give me some votes. If you can't give votes, at least give Luo Chen a like at the end.

I love you all, (`) heart!
