Chapter 95

The weather in the mountains can change in an instant.

Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, but in the blink of an eye, strong winds howled, dark clouds gathered, and the rumbling of thunder rolled through the clouds, as if the entire world were about to collapse.

Wei Changfeng stood on the floating stone platform, holding his long sword, seemingly oblivious to the approaching storm, and continued to practice the Lightning Sword Technique with great concentration!

Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and the sound of thunder echoed!

Although there were only three sword techniques, he had not truly grasped the essence of any of them. The best he could do was the "Thunderstorm" technique, which he had only mastered superficially, far from being considered proficient.

If it were just the movements of the techniques, Wei Changfeng could already perform them very skillfully, but the sword techniques he executed were merely "form" without "spirit," and their power could only be unleashed to about one or two tenths of their potential.

So he practiced over and over, seeking inspiration and a breakthrough in the monotonous repetition!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sword cut through the air with a low whistle, and streaks of sword light continuously appeared and vanished.

Wei Changfeng's sword speed increased, and the True Yang Qi circulated in his body, supporting his strength as it flowed through his limbs and every part of his body.

Boom!

At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap.

Wei Changfeng involuntarily trembled, and the sword technique he was performing was suddenly interrupted. The flow of True Qi stagnated, and the backlash made his blood surge, causing him to feel nauseous!

This is not right!

Wei Changfeng immediately realized that he had fallen into the trap of being overly eager for success. He quickly stopped his movements and silently practiced the True Yang Method to adjust the chaotic True Qi in his body, no longer forcing himself to continue.

Rumble!

The thunder in the sky grew louder, almost deafening.

After calming his blood, Wei Changfeng exhaled a deep breath and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He saw streaks of purple lightning rapidly moving through the leaden clouds, appearing and disappearing, accompanied by the sound of thunder, as if tearing the sky apart!

Just one glance, and Wei Changfeng couldn't take his eyes off the scene. His mind was completely captivated by the lightning and thunder in the sky, oblivious to the raindrops falling on his body.

The breakdown of the Lightning Sword Technique flashed through his mind, and the incantations of the sword technique rose from his memory, merging with the thunder and lightning.

Boom!

Another thunderclap, and Wei Changfeng suddenly moved!

He took a large step forward, and the Mingguang Sword in his hand suddenly burst into a brilliant light.

In the next moment, Wei Changfeng, sword in hand, darted forward with the speed of a bolt of lightning, covering a dozen steps in an instant, as fast as an arrow leaving the bow!

Lightning and thunder!

This sword technique relied purely on speed, and the speed of his sword improved. Like lightning and thunder, the sword tip was already close to the opponent before the sound was heard!

Wei Changfeng had practiced this technique thousands of times, but none of those times had he reached even half the speed he achieved now.

This meant he had broken through!

Even Wei Changfeng himself did not expect that his first breakthrough would be in the "Lightning and Thunder" technique. Although it was the simplest of the three techniques in the Lightning Sword Technique, it was also the hardest to master.

Learning from nature!

Wei Changfeng suddenly looked up at the sky, realizing the reason for his breakthrough.

It was the power of nature that had inspired him and allowed him to touch the essence of the sword technique!

He also understood why Dongfang Caibai had simply taught him the three techniques and left him to practice and comprehend them on his own.

Rumble!

In the thunder, Wei Changfeng disappeared from his spot, and a streak of sword light pierced through the heavy rain, shattering countless raindrops!

When the sword light faded and the rain curtain returned to normal, Wei Changfeng appeared at the edge of the floating stone platform.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he couldn't help but let out a long howl!

The continuous howl pierced the clouds, even the sound of thunder couldn't drown it out.

At that moment, Wei Changfeng felt a barrier in his sword cultivation shatter!

...

The storm grew fiercer, enveloping the entire Bai Lu Pavilion in a thick curtain of rain.

Wei Changfeng, drenched, returned to his room.

The breakthrough in his sword technique had left him unable to contain his excitement, and he repeatedly performed the "Lightning and Thunder" technique in the midst of the storm until his dantian True Qi was completely depleted!

Although it was somewhat reckless, Wei Changfeng's gains were truly significant.

One could say that as a sword cultivator, he had successfully entered a new level, no longer a mere novice.

This kind of breakthrough, achieved through learning from nature and comprehending the power of the universe, was extremely rare and the dream of countless sword cultivators. Without true talent, it was almost impossible to achieve.

But Wei Changfeng did not yet realize this.

"Master Wei, I will prepare hot water for you!"

Shui Yun Yao, the Miao girl serving in his room, immediately helped him take off his wet outer clothes and handed him a clean towel. "Wipe yourself first, don't catch a cold!"

Wei Changfeng took the towel and wiped the rain from his face, smiling. "Thank you, Miss Shui."

"This is what I should do."

Shui Yun Yao gave him a glance that was both scolding and affectionate, then twisted her willowy waist and went to the bathroom.

After a refreshing hot bath, when Wei Changfeng returned to the living room, another servant girl bowed to him. "Master Wei, the chief has sent me to deliver these to you!"

Wei Changfeng saw two sandalwood boxes of different sizes on the round table in the living room.

Caitie Zhi, Shuiling Zhi, and Spirit Pearls!

He was overjoyed and quickly walked to the round table, eagerly opening one of the wooden boxes.

Inside the smaller sandalwood box were two exquisite white jade medicine boxes. When he opened the lids, two different-colored lingzhi mushrooms immediately came into view!

The one with colorful spots and two lobes resembling butterfly wings was undoubtedly the Caitie Zhi. This type of lingzhi only grows in the wildflower fields where spiritual energy converges, making it extremely rare.

The other Shuiling Zhi, in comparison, had a plain appearance and no brilliant colors, but it looked as if it were carved from sky-blue jade, flawless and exuding a captivating light, making it heart-stirring to look at.

The Shuiling Zhi was even more precious than the Caitie Zhi, as it only grows in spirit pools!

Wei Changfeng, with his vast experience, could tell at a glance that both lingzhi mushrooms were over fifty years old, of excellent quality, and top-grade spiritual materials.

With these two Shuiling Zhi and Caitie Zhi, all the materials needed for the Nine Lingzhi Nourishing Essence Pill were gathered. As long as the Tai Xu Nine Heavens True Yang Heart Sutra was restored to the third level, he could refine it himself!

Suppressing his excitement, Wei Changfeng closed the lid and opened the second sandalwood box.

This box was more than twice as large. As soon as he opened the lid, thousands of rays of light pierced his eyes!

"Ah!"

Shui Yun Yao and the other servant girl in the living room both gasped in surprise.

Inside the sandalwood box were dozens of white spirit pearls, each the size of a longan, stacked in layers, their light almost blinding!

Spirit Pearls!

After a thousand years, Wei Changfeng saw the familiar spirit pearls again, feeling a myriad of emotions!

The same spirit pearls, Wei Changfeng had once possessed tens of thousands, not just low-grade, but also mid-grade, high-grade, and even supreme-grade spirit pearls. At the time, he was said to be as wealthy as a nation.

But all the treasures in his secret vaults had been destroyed in the volcanic eruption!

Looking at these spirit pearls and recalling the past, Wei Changfeng stood there, lost in thought.

"Master Wei!"

It was Shui Yun Yao's worried voice that snapped him out of his reverie.

Wei Changfeng chuckled and picked up two spirit pearls from the box, handing them to Shui Yun Yao. "You've worked hard. Take one each!"

The two Miao servant girls, when they saw the box full of spirit pearls, had their eyes shining with excitement, but when Wei Changfeng directly gave them the pearls, they were all startled!

Both girls took a half-step back and bowed their heads in unison. "We dare not accept!"

They served in the Bai Lu Pavilion and had good judgment, though they didn't understand the true value of the spirit pearls, they knew they were precious.

Wei Changfeng smiled. "The two spirit pearls are my reward to you. What do you mean by 'daring' or 'not daring'?"

Shui Yun Yao looked up, her large, watery eyes filled with joy and hesitation. She hesitated and said, "They are too precious!"

"Since Master Wei has given them to you, accept them!"

At that moment, an elderly voice came from the living room entrance.

"Master Gushi!"

Seeing the person, Shui Yun Yao and the other servant girl's faces changed, and they hurriedly bowed to the ground!

Wei Changfeng was also a bit surprised and bowed, saying, "Junior greets Senior Hao Ran!"

The person was none other than Bai Hao Ran, the chief grandmaster of the Bai Lu tribe.

In the Miao tribe, the status of a grandmaster was as high as the chief, and the two servant girls naturally felt extremely nervous.

"No need for formalities, please stand up!"

Bai Hao Ran waved his hand at them and then asked Wei Changfeng, "Is Master Wei satisfied with the lingzhi mushrooms and spirit pearls?"

Wei Changfeng smiled. "Junior is very satisfied, thank you, Chief Bai and Senior!"

"Good to hear that!"

Bai Hao Ran said, his expression a bit unusual.

Wei Changfeng's heart stirred, and he said, "Senior, if you have any matters, please speak freely!"

Bai Hao Ran coughed twice and asked, "Master Wei, are you really proficient in medicine?"

Wei Changfeng immediately understood and smiled. "Junior has studied medicine but does not dare to claim proficiency. If Senior trusts me, I will do my best!"

Bai Hao Ran nodded, seemingly making up his mind. "Then please follow me, Master Wei!"

Today, the family has been busy, almost delaying the update. Here is the first update. Wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival! (To be continued...)
