Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 45 Do you want a stronger sword?
"You've made rapid progress."

After a simple, straightforward sword fight, Lin Nuo and Ji Juechen sat together against the wall, sipping their chilled juice.

Ji Juechen glanced at Lin Nuo beside him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "But I feel that your heart is not pure, or rather, not focused enough. If you don't solve this problem, it will be difficult for you to develop your own will."

It's clear that Ji Juechen really hopes Lin Nuo can go further, after all, there's only one person like him who's willing to fight alongside him all the time.

If Lin Nuo can make further progress in the path of swordsmanship, Ji Juechen will also gain more from his battles with him.

“Everyone’s intentions are different. You regard the sword as the only thing for the rest of your life, so you can devote yourself to the sword. My intentions are different from yours, so naturally I can’t do the same as you. Besides, my focus is not on this.” Lin Nuo didn’t care and waved his hand with a smile.

This guy is a ruthless individual with a proven reputation for sword obsession. How could Lin Nuo possibly compare to him in terms of focus on the sword? He simply couldn't.

He only used the sword as a way to show off and a weapon for fighting. He also had a lot of other things to do that consumed his already limited swordsmanship. Being able to learn some sword skills was already the limit.

Upon hearing this, Ji Juechen could only sigh softly and did not bring up the matter again.

"Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. Your soul power is improving pretty fast! You're almost at level sixty, right?" Lin Nuo looked at Ji Juechen in surprise.

His talent is worthless; his soul power level was entirely boosted by taking medicine.

Even though he absorbed many spirit rings to amplify himself and evolve his martial spirit, turning the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver King he is today, to be honest, his cultivation speed is still lagging behind.

The strength of a martial spirit is directly proportional to its cultivation speed; the closer one gets to the limit of a martial spirit's strength, the slower the cultivation speed will be.

For example.

If Lin Nuo's current Blue Silver King Martial Soul were in the early stages of his cultivation, such as the first or second ring stage, his cultivation speed would not be much worse than other Soul Masters, and could even approach the average level of true geniuses who advance one level every three months.

However, if placed at the Soul Emperor stage, the Blue Silver King Martial Soul would provide very little benefit to his cultivation.

It can only support him to cultivate to the next one or two realms, namely Soul Saint or Soul Douluo.

This is why many Soul Masters find themselves unable to progress further after reaching a certain limit, because they have taken the wrong path, failed to break through the limits of their Martial Soul again, and failed to give their Martial Soul the potential to go even further.

It's been more than half a year since Lin Nuo returned from the Star Dou Great Forest Soul Hunt, and his level is still stuck at level 63. Although he has spent most of his time developing spirit-infused forging, this also proves his slow cultivation speed.

Lin Nuo is now like those old men in their seventies and eighties. Although his soul power level is very high, he needs a lot of time to improve it again.

The only difference between him and the real Old Deng is that his body is still full of vitality, and his martial soul is always highly active. As long as he doesn't go astray, each set of spirit rings can enhance his martial soul again, creating a positive cycle forever.

If he doesn't take the medicine next, he might not be able to break through to the Title Douluo level until he's in his sixties or seventies.

Even after his Blue Silver King evolved, he was already this slow. How did Ji Juechen improve so quickly?

"Are you on drugs?" Lin Nuo asked.

Ji Juechen simply nodded silently, then held up three fingers: "Mysterious Water Pill."

He consumed three Profound Water Pills in succession. One was given to him by Jing Ziyan, and the other two were from the academy. He took them in combination with other medications, first using the medications to boost his soul power and raise his level, and then using the Profound Water Pills to cleanse and purify his soul power. Before this, Ji Juechen hadn't received many cultivation resources from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Although he was supposedly a student there, he neither learned nor used soul tools; he was only there to find opponents to fight.

Now things are different. He is a key member of the Soul Fighting Tournament next year, so he will naturally receive a lot of resources from the academy.

Having been swayed by Lin Nuo's promises, he began to take drug cultivation seriously. In addition, he felt a little embarrassed about constantly using the resources provided by Jing Ziyan, so he accepted the academy's training.

This is equivalent to becoming more closely associated with the college.

He can no longer just leave with Jing Ziyan like he did in the original story.

As for Ji Juechen's current soul power level, it has reached level fifty-nine, and he is in a state where he may break through at any time.

Having never used drugs to cultivate before, his body had no tolerance to any medications. He could take a little of almost every common cultivation drug used in the Sun Moon Empire.

This is equivalent to others using up their limited-use experience packs in advance, while Ji Juechen accumulated them until he reached the Soul King stage and used them all at once. His speed of advancement seems outrageous at the moment.

But when viewed as a whole, it's actually far less effective than consuming a little bit of each level.

If Ji Juechen had taken the Xuan Shui Pill to enhance his talent from the beginning, he would probably be a Soul Emperor by now. Considering this, it's not surprising that he has been able to improve to this level.

To be honest, Lin Nuo didn't want Ji Juechen, an unconventional Soul Master, to be kidnapped by Huo Yuhao like in the original story.

"Old Ji, I'll show you something." Lin Nuo smiled slightly and took out the Ji Juechen trap after the Electrolux trap.

A piece of fine, high-grade silver.

The shimmering silver, radiating a spiritual glow, lay quietly before Ji Juechen, blurring his vision.

"This is...?" Ji Juechen frowned slightly, looking at Lin Nuo with some confusion.

“Forging, using spirit metal.” Lin Nuo briefly explained to Ji Juechen what spirit forging was, then continued in a tempting tone, “Old Ji, don’t you want your sword, which you’ve been with day and night, to be upgraded? You should have already felt its limits, right?”

"How about it? Would you like to receive some more benefits from the academy? I can use forging techniques to make your sword stronger, more compatible with you, and truly in sync with your will!"

Lin Nuo told Jing Hongchen that the battle armor had eleven parts, but in reality, the battle armor from the Dragon King Legend era had thirteen parts.

The two extra parts are wings and weapons. More people make wings, but very few people make weapons.

The reason is quite simple: battle armor weapons, without being nurtured by a soul master's soul power and spirit for a long time, are actually far less powerful than the soul master's own martial soul. With that much nurturing time, a genius soul master would have already started to update and iterate their battle armor.

Once the iteration begins, all the previous nurturing efforts will be wasted.

But Ji Juechen is different!

He was the exception who used a weapon!
