CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 583 SELECTING KING VEIN

Since each of these treasures has specific uses, and most of them are only needed at particular times.

If one were to buy them, it definitely would not be cost-effective.

Renting is absolutely the best choice.

The sect has really thought things through.

It seems that the high-level members of the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage are not foolish. They also know to allocate a portion of resources to cultivate Outer Disciples.

Given the large number of Outer Disciples, to utilize these advanced resources of the sect, one must earn enough merit or spend a huge amount of silver taels. This payment mechanism is very wise.

It not only enhances the loyalty and ambition of sect disciples but also automatically excludes those unqualified Outer Disciples.

To prevent these rare core resources from being easily occupied by disciples with poor aptitude or extremely low loyalty who have made little contribution to the sect.

To put it harshly, it’s the survival of the fittest, the natural selection.

"This meditation cushion made from Fire Yang Stone is quite good, complementing my Nine Yang Sword Veins."

"Also, this Mountain River Dao Crown that can concentrate the mind and maintain inner peace, free from distractions and inner demons, is also excellent."

Chu Feng spent ten thousand silver taels a day renting, and he spared no effort in using all the available resources.

Having chosen six pieces of treasures that assist in cultivation, Chu Feng returned to the main secret chamber, sat cross-legged on the Fire Yang Stone cushion, and began his devoted cultivation.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The Spiritual Energy around him was drawn by Chu Feng, forming whirlwinds of Spiritual Energy centered on him.

They spun rapidly and madly surged into Chu Feng’s body.

Ordinary people absorb Spiritual Energy very slowly when they cultivate. But Chu Feng’s cultivation can truly be described as insane, with Spiritual Energy madly pouring into his body.

His Nine Sword Veins were fully activated, like a giant whale swallowing. With one inhalation, he could fill all Nine Sword Veins, then with a contraction, he would transfer all the Sword Qi inside the veins to his Dantian.

Repeating this process, the speed at which Chu Feng absorbed Spiritual Energy was terrifyingly extreme.

Having recently advanced to the Late Stage Great Sword Master, the Sword Qi in his Dantian was far from saturated.

One day of cultivation in this secret chamber was equivalent to a year of cultivation outside.

Furthermore, with numerous treasures aiding his cultivation, Chu Feng had no worries and was fully powered, crazily absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the chamber and transforming it into Sword Qi.

...

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. Chu Feng felt his Dantian swell periodically, like a pregnant woman in the later stages of pregnancy, about to give birth. His stomach was severely bloated.

The capacity for Sword Qi in his Dantian was almost at its limit.

Continuing to absorb could easily lead to an explosion and death.

"It’s time to make a breakthrough to the Sword Saint Realm!" Chu Feng opened his eyes, bright as stars. He had always dreamed of advancing to the Sword Saint Realm.

Not only would it allow him to fly with his sword and slay his enemies, but it would also greatly aid his Alchemy.

Currently, his cultivation limited him to producing at most Sixth-grade Elixirs. If he could advance to the Sword Saint Realm, he would be able to refine Elixirs above Sixth-grade.

That means he could refine High-Grade Elixirs of Alchemy King Level.

Among them, several powerful Talismanic Elixirs could even kill warriors at the Sword God Level.

By then, Chu Feng could simply refine a few and carry them around. Not to mention exterminating the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, at least when encountering fierce generals under the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn’t need his loved ones to block the sword for him anymore.

The tragedy of Senior Sister Qin being killed to save him would never be repeated.

Furthermore, the five-year agreement with Qin Shan also puts tremendous pressure on Chu Feng.

His wife, Han Xiaoying, in order to avoid Qin Shan’s entanglement, had no choice but to risk her life guarding the Seven Star Cave. For Chu Feng, this is a pain in his heart, and even more so, his humiliation.

He must exert all his strength and strive to reach the Sword God Realm within these five years.

By then, Chu Feng will be able to wash away his previous disgrace and trample Qin Shan underfoot.

"To advance to the Sword Saint Realm, there are two critical steps. The first step is to differentiate the sword light."

For those with the Three Talents Sword Vein, ascending to Sword Saint is extremely difficult.

The Five Elements Sword Veins belong to the common sword vein constitution. The vast majority of people have this type of sword vein.

For those with Five Elements Sword Veins who wish to ascend to the Sword Saint Realm, there is also an extremely high difficulty. Because the Five Elements Sword Veins generate and restrain each other. Similarly, the Sword Qi inside them does too. Condensing the sword light that emerges is nearly impossible to differentiate.

The most common practice is to sacrifice one of the Fire Sword Vein or Water Sword Vein, allowing it to devour either blazing flames or cold ice.

Turning it into either a Yang Sword Vein or a Yin Sword Vein.

Then, use it to suppress the Sword Qi within the other four sword veins, thus condensing more than two sword lights.

For Chu Feng, who naturally possesses the Yang Sword Vein, there is no need to deliberately promote another Yang Sword Vein.

At the same time, trouble also arises for him.

Because he has nine identical Supreme Yang Sword Veins, their Sword Qi is equal. Trying to simultaneously condense two sword lights and ensuring they don’t automatically merge into one is challenging.

Therefore, it is essential to ensure that among the nine sword veins, there is one King Vein that can suppress the other eight.

It’s like nine princes, each with the same status and similar strength, all wanting to be Emperor.

At this time, they will inevitably clash with each other.

The sword veins inside Chu Feng are the same, when condensing the sword light, the nine veins compete. Therefore, it always results in just a single sword light.

One must support one among them to be the King Vein.

Chu Feng was well-prepared, as he took out a blue ice-colored elixir, from which strands of white cold air rose, clashing with his Nine Yang Sword Veins.

The function of this elixir is to weaken eight of the nine veins, leaving the remaining one, which Chu Feng will support as the King Vein.

"Gulp!"

The elixir melted as soon as it touched his mouth, and he swallowed it down.

Immediately, strands of cold air diffused, his eyebrows and hair all gathered a layer of frost.

As the medication dispersed within his body, Chu Feng involuntarily groaned, revealing a pained expression on his face. His nine sword veins were being suppressed by the cold air, being weakened.

This is a method of self-harm.

It might seem foolish, but it is actually very astute, a case of sheer brilliance disguised as stupidity.

Just like the legendary mastiffs. It is said that after birth, the female mastiff will feed them for nine days. By then, their eyes are open, and they begin to grow teeth.

Afterward, the female mastiff cruelly weans them, no longer feeding her offspring.

Instead, she indifferently watches them on the side.

Soon, they will feel hungry and continuously bark. It’s like human infants, who, when hungry, cry, and then the adults will feed them. This is also why human children, even when they’re older, still cry when faced with setbacks, seeking help from their parents.

This is because it’s something cultivated from childhood.

No matter how pitiful the young mastiffs’ cries, the female mastiff remains unmoved. Because she is very clear about the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.

If she were to soften her heart momentarily and feed all her children until they are grown, in the end, all her children would be cowards, useless, unable to adapt to the outside world. Eventually, all would be devoured by other beasts.
