Borrowing a sword

Chapter 219 Refining the Fragments of the Profound Yellow Origin
Chu Huaixu, dressed in a long black robe, saw a sword on Mirror Lake.

A sword that is entirely black.

It's somewhat like the materialization of the Heart Sword within the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

The jet-black longsword had few superfluous patterns.

It is rustic, simple, and grand, yet it also gives people a sense of sharpness.

"In 'Borrowing a Sword,' I forged myself into a sword?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"Moreover, I can borrow this sword from someone else?"

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Within the mirror, as he began to gaze at himself, that wisp of power truly began to emerge within Chu Huaixu's body.

That is the power of origin!

Chu Huaixu saw a chaotic yet incredibly pure light appear on the black sword reflected in the mirror, wandering along the blade.

And within his body, a chaotic and mysterious power also emerged.

It was just a single strand, but it began to spread throughout his body.

It traversed every limb and bone, swimming through every place where the body could conceal its spirit.

Then, it entered the secret realm of the spiritual embryo.

As a result, they didn't stay there for very long.

It seems that this is not a satisfactory ending for it.

Finally, it began to head towards the sea of ​​consciousness again.

After entering the sea of ​​consciousness, the small black sword trembled slightly, as if it were drawing upon this power.

Immediately afterwards, this wisp of primordial power, filled with a sense of chaos, began to swirl and linger around the Heart Sword.

"It looks like they added some special effects?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

He began to hear system notification sounds.

"[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully refined the power of origin!]"

According to Xiang Yan and others, the power of origin is too high-level, and Chu Huaixu is still a low-level cultivator, so he cannot activate its power for the time being.

To truly integrate it into oneself and use it as one's own arm, one would probably need to reach at least the level of a great practitioner.

According to Jiang Zhi's description, if one activates this wisp of primordial power within their body during combat, their overall combat strength will undergo a qualitative change.

It's equivalent to instantly elevating the level of all the power within you.

This includes spiritual power and divine consciousness.

However, Chu Huaixu is still too weak right now, and they advised him not to use this power, as it is easy to lose control and end up burning himself.

"But it doesn't matter, it has another characteristic, which is to speed up the cultivation process."

"It should exist independently of each special attribute point."

Chu Huaixu opened his system interface and took a look.

Previously, when he leveled up his character, the experience points required were reduced by about 20%.

He opened his skill list and immediately burst into ecstasy!

"They even offer a 20% discount when upgrading [spells]!"

For him, this was tantamount to indirectly improving his [Spiritual Embryo Attribute] and [Comprehension]!
"In the long run, refining the power of origin in the first realm is a huge win!"

Whether it's leveling up or learning skills, you'll get a 20% discount, saving you a significant amount of experience points.

However, Chu Huaixu was quickly taken aback.

"No! Why hasn't this thing changed?"

The supreme Heavenly-level spell, [Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin], still requires spending 100 million experience points with a certain probability of successfully learning it.

"One million without fail."

"And it's all down to luck."

Chu Huaixu was not a gambler like Li Chunsong; he would not risk such a large sum of experience points for a low-probability event in the early stages.

So many players in "Borrowing Swords" didn't believe in the superstition, yet not a single one of them won.

It's clear that the probability is ridiculously low!
This is clearly a late-game spell.

Moreover, the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique is hailed as the number one magic in the world; how could it be so easy to learn?

However, what puzzled him now was: "Even the power of origin can't reduce its experience points?"

This planted a seed of doubt in Chu Huaixu's heart.

Inside the training room, Chu Huaixu slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't rush out, but first adapted to his greatly enhanced physical body and the surging spiritual power within him.

He rose to the seventh level of the second realm in one go, and his overall strength made a leap forward.

If he had such cultivation at the evil cultivator's altar, then he should have chased after that scarred evil cultivator and killed him, and then used his Heart Sword to destroy his primordial spirit!
"Overall, for me right now, improving my cultivation level is the most cost-effective option," he thought to himself.

There's no need to worry about leveling up for now; experience points are definitely the most worthwhile resource for leveling up.

"In fact, apart from my character level, I've caught up with my pre-transmigration character in every other aspect!" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

The special attribute points go without saying; the character panel looks extremely beautiful.

In terms of skills, he has mastered several profound-level spells, and even the earth-level spell [Six Out of Horizon] has been partially mastered.

Not to mention the sword intent and sword heart that exist now!

"If I have enough experience points, I can raise the level of my sword intent."

His sword mind is clear and bright, belonging to the spiritual embryonic divine power of the heart sword.

He had always suspected that once his sword intent reached its peak, he could try to condense a sword heart!

After letting out a long breath, Chu Huaixu glanced at the time displayed on the system interface. "It's already the year 1991 of the Xuan Calendar," he couldn't help but sigh.

This retreat lasted a full fifty days! It even spanned into the new year.

But he didn't have much of a sense of time, only feeling that he had been in the "Heart Lake" for about half an hour.

After only fifty days, Chu Huaixu became very curious about what had happened in the outside world.

"How's Big Ice Cube doing lately?"

"And Xiao Xu too."

This made him think that the cultivators in Kunlun Grotto-heaven probably felt a sense of loss and change after each period of seclusion.

After all, their seclusion is measured in years.

In comparison, the cultivation system in the Xuanhuang Realm is indeed faster.

Although they live longer over there, they also spend more time on cultivation, so the proportion is actually similar.

"If cultivation is like making money on Earth, then you can quickly earn your first pot of gold in the Xuanhuang Realm, while you would have to work yourself to death for decades in the Kunlun Cave Heaven."

"Great cultivators and those at the Golden Core stage are already considered powerful figures in their own right, and their proportion may be even lower than that of people on Earth who have achieved financial freedom."

"On the one hand, as long as you are capable, you can achieve financial freedom after working hard for ten or twenty years, but life is only a hundred years."

"On the one hand, even if you are very capable, you still need to work hard for hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve financial freedom, but lifespan can also be thousands of years."

"If we really had a choice, everyone would probably make a different choice."

At this thought, he suddenly remembered that his Dao Sheng Yi contained a Chong Dan, which also contained the Four Symbols Spiritual Root!

Chu Huaixu immediately channeled his divine sense into the black bead.

Unexpectedly, [Dao Sheng Yi] was much slower than him, and the cauldron was still refining that wisp of primordial power.

However, it seemed to have been using both hands simultaneously before?
Because inside the medicine cauldron, all the remaining evil energy had disappeared.

Instead, another Elixir of Power appeared.

The two spirit pills were placed together. One was translucent and empty inside. The other had four colored light spots floating around it, converging to form the Four Symbols Spirit Root.

"Logically speaking, since Ye Kongxuan was able to possess that body, its Four Symbols Spiritual Roots must be quite good, right?"

"Compared to a spirit embryo, it should be at least a high-grade spirit embryo," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

He felt that this thing was still of great research value.

Moreover, you never know when you might need it.

After glancing at the medicine cauldron again, Chu Huaixu withdrew his divine sense from the mystical space within the black bead.

He estimated that it would take another ten days to half a month for the [Tao Begins One] to be refined.

"But if it can refine the Demon Pill while simultaneously refining the Origin Fragment, does that mean it can also refine the Spirit Pill?"

"I've now advanced to the second realm, and my development of my natal magic weapon has improved again."

"Shouldn't you already be able to refine more valuable and effective Grade 2 elixirs?"

At this thought, he felt a little excited.

"I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion and buy some recipes for second-grade elixirs," he thought to himself.

So, there's only one last thing left to do.

—Unboxing!
That Heavenly Treasure Chest was currently lying quietly inside Chu Huaixu's game inventory.

He was very curious about what he could pull out of the Heavenly Treasure Chest.

What left Chu Huaixu speechless was that the system didn't even show what was in the prize pool.

"The Heavenly Treasure Chest is the highest level of treasure chest reward."

"I'm quite curious to know what's in the prize pool."

But then he thought, blind drawing would work too.

Otherwise, one is prone to being anxious about gains and losses.

After all, the prize pool will definitely contain what he wants most and what he doesn't want as much.

It's supposed to be a happy occasion, so don't let it negatively affect your mood.

With a thought, Chu Huaixu began to open the treasure chest.

An interface appeared before his eyes, containing a huge golden treasure chest.

When the box was opened, colorful rays of light emanated from it.

Anyway, we don't know what it is yet, so let's max out the special effects first.

The multicolored glow began to shine brighter and brighter, becoming increasingly dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, nothing could be seen clearly anymore.

After Chu Huaixu regained his sight, something was floating inside the Heavenly Treasure Chest.

After glancing at it, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Chu Huaixu's breathing quickened, and an endless excitement began to grow in his heart.

How could I forget this? How could I forget this thing!
It was only at this moment that he truly realized how precious and terrifying the Daoist Canon was!
Previously, he felt that the greatest characteristic of the Daoist Canon was its surging spiritual power.

The combined spiritual power within the physical body and the secret spiritual embryo is far greater than that of any other Heavenly-level cultivation technique.

Secondly, there is its incredible self-healing ability.

However, are the benefits of cultivating both inner and outer qualities really limited to this?

No! No!
At this moment, what is inside the Heavenly Treasure Chest is:

——【Body Refining Divine Power】!
