Chapter 57

However, the consumption is great, and the effect is astonishingly impressive.

Jing Yan was not worried about the consumption of the Nine Yin Fruits. He bought the Nine Yin Fruits for the purpose of cultivation.

As long as it greatly helps his cultivation, no matter how much is consumed, it is worth it.

The reason he frowned was that he did not expect the consumption to be so great, which was somewhat surprising.

A single Nine Yin Fruit is worth 1,100 spirit stones, and in half a month, the consumption is close to 20,000 spirit stones.

This rate of consumption would even scare a strong先天 realm expert.

"Spirit stones..."

Jing Yan's gaze then fell on the spirit stones.

He originally had about 12,000 spirit stones, but 2,000 were taken by Elder Jing Tianying, leaving about 7,000.

However, now, of these 7,000 spirit stones, only about half remain. The rest have all turned into white powder spread throughout the room, forming a thick layer on the ground.

In other words, Jing Yan's consumption over the past half month has exceeded 20,000 spirit stones.

His realm has advanced from the Seventh Level of Martial Dao to the Eighth Level. And the original surge of primordial energy caused by the rapid absorption of soul crystal energy is no longer felt.

If Jing Yan were to fight other martial artists again, he could unleash his full power and fully mobilize his primordial energy.

In another battle with Li Tianfu, Jing Yan is confident that he can defeat the opponent in ten moves. Not just forcing him off the arena, but truly defeating him.

However, Jing Yan can also faintly sense the soul crystal energy stored in his body that has not been absorbed.

Advancing from the Seventh Level to the Eighth Level, with the assistance of the Nine Yin Fruits, Jing Yan activated the First Divine Skill of the Vast Sky, consuming a significant amount of soul crystal energy. However, at least 40% of the soul crystal energy remains hidden.

If Jing Yan were still at the Seventh Level, he might not have been able to sense this hidden power. But now that he is at the Eighth Level, he can faintly detect it.

"Advancing to the Ninth Level should allow me to fully absorb all the soul crystal energy." Jing Yan nodded lightly.

This soul crystal has undoubtedly provided Jing Yan with immense help.

From the Fourth Level to the Fifth Level, from the Sixth Level to the Seventh Level, and from the Seventh Level to the Eighth Level, if it weren't for this soul crystal, Jing Yan would absolutely not have been able to achieve this in such a short time.

"Eight Levels..."

Jing Yan's gaze shifted slightly, and he activated his primordial energy, causing the spirit stone powder to gather into a small pile under precise control. Then, he flashed out of the room.

Outside, the moonlight was like water.

The autumn night had a special kind of tranquility.

Amidst the chirping of insects, everything was peaceful.

"When I fought Li Tianfu, my Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Sword and the Three Stacks of the Moon seemed to merge. A low-grade martial art and a mid-grade martial art, could they actually merge into a new martial art?"

Jing Yan's eyes were particularly bright in the night.

After returning from the Extreme Combat Association, Jing Yan first treated his injuries and then focused on advancing his realm, so he hadn't had time to consider the fusion of martial arts.

Now, he could try it again to see what exactly happened.

Jing Yan was certain that the fusion of the two martial arts was due to the First Divine Skill of the Vast Sky.

He slightly activated the First Divine Skill of the Vast Sky, and naturally recalled the two martial arts in his mind.

"Hmm?"

"Indeed, they can merge!"

"The power of the merged martial art can be significantly increased. The time was too short that day, so only part of the martial art was merged. However, even with just part of it merged, it allowed me to turn the tide in my battle with Li Tianfu."

"Then, let's continue the fusion!" A smile appeared at the corner of Jing Yan's mouth.

His figure also began to move around the courtyard.

"Fusing martial arts also consumes primordial energy..."

Soon, Jing Yan felt that the primordial energy in his body was rapidly depleting.

"Absorb spirit stones!" Jing Yan paused slightly, then took out some spirit stones, absorbing primordial energy while fusing the martial arts.

Time slowly passed.

It seemed that a whole night had passed in the blink of an eye.

When the sky turned a fish-belly white, Jing Yan stopped.

"The fusion is complete!"

Jing Yan's Flowing Light Sword moved, and a wave of sword shadows appeared.

"The merged martial art still looks like the Three Stacks of the Moon, but its power has increased by about 30%." Jing Yan nodded.

He was quite satisfied with the power of the merged martial art.

It's important to note that although the Three Stacks of the Moon is a mid-grade martial art, in Jing Yan's hands, it is comparable to a high-grade martial art. Now, with a 30% increase in power, the Three Stacks of the Moon is definitely more powerful than a high-grade martial art.

Perhaps it is not as powerful as an ultimate-grade martial art, but it is certainly between a high-grade and an ultimate-grade martial art.

After a rough count of the spirit stones, Jing Yan found that the fusion process had consumed about 1,000 spirit stones.

Improving the Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Sword did not consume much spirit stone. Improving the Three Stacks of the Moon consumed several hundred spirit stones. Now, fusing the two martial arts consumed 1,000 spirit stones.

"Next, it's time to improve the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique!" Jing Yan smiled.

The Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique is another martial art that Jing Yan has cultivated, and it is a high-grade martial art.

At the Seventh Level, Jing Yan could勉强 exert part of the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique. However, he never had the opportunity to use it.

In the battle with Li Tianfu, if Jing Yan had used the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique, he would have definitely lost. Because, the unimproved Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique, which could only exert part of its power, was far weaker than the Three Stacks of the Moon.

However, now that Jing Yan is at the Eighth Level, with his primordial energy far exceeding that of a typical Eighth Level martial artist, and with the assistance of the First Divine Skill of the Vast Sky in improving the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique, the power of the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique should be terrifying.

Thinking of this, Jing Yan eagerly began to use the First Divine Skill of the Vast Sky to improve the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique.

Two hours later.

"The Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique has a total of eleven flaws!"

Finding the flaws or vulnerabilities in a martial art is relatively easy.

The previous Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Sword and the Three Stacks of the Moon both had over thirteen flaws. The Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique has fewer vulnerabilities, but it still has eleven.

Jing Yan shook his head.

If it weren't for the First Divine Skill of the Vast Sky, he would never have been able to discover these vulnerabilities.

He wondered if the terrifyingly valuable ultimate-grade martial arts might also have vulnerabilities.

However, there was no way to know for now, as even when Jing Yan first entered the先天 realm, he had never cultivated an ultimate-grade martial art.

In the entire Jing family, there is only one ultimate-grade martial art, which is considered a family treasure.

He wondered if the Moon-Cleaving Sword Technique, after being repaired, could be as powerful as an ultimate-grade martial art!

Jing Yan's eyes were hot with anticipation, and he was looking forward to it.
