Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Chapter 179 Azure Cloud Blade

Inside the basic equipment room, Chen Han walked around and looked at the various magical artifacts displayed on the walls and wooden shelves.

Most of the magical artifacts are similar, primarily standardized sword-shaped artifacts and basic defensive artifacts. Others come in various shapes and sizes, such as meteor hammers, cloaks, and bracers...

Correspondingly, there were annotations below each item. After glancing at a few, Chen Han lost interest in them.

The reason is simple: its ability is utterly useless. It lacks both power and speed, no wonder it was left over by others.

"Junior Brother Chen, hurry up..."

As time went by, Su Huoqing's urging voice rang out. Chen Han was also getting anxious. The key was that he hadn't found anything good, but it would be a loss to go back empty-handed.

Just then, he turned around and noticed a blue horse-slaying saber in the corner of the room. It was a corner that no one paid attention to, and although it was often cleaned and tidied, it still gave people a sense of old age.

With the mindset of finding a bargain, Chen Han's curiosity was immediately piqued. He took a few steps to the large sword, held it up to measure, and found that it was taller than himself. Then, he gripped the central hilt and tried to lift it up to feel it.

But the result was that this blow almost broke his back. The knife was really heavy, too heavy. Chen Han felt that it weighed more than 10,000 jin.

The blade of the horse-slaying sword was about to fall to the ground when, fortunately, Chen Han reacted quickly, exerting a sudden burst of strength, almost breaking his teeth.

I chewed it up, and only then could I put it back in its original place.

After finishing, he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief; he was quite exhausted.

Even a strong physical cultivator like myself struggled to lift it, let alone a magic cultivator. Moreover, judging from the power emanating from the blade, it seems to be a mid-grade magic weapon.

Chen Han asked in confusion, "Isn't this the basic equipment room? Why are there mid-level magic weapons here? They are two levels stronger than the sword-shaped magic weapons in the same room."

Chen Han pondered for a moment before realizing what was happening.

"That's true. There are so few disciples of the Qingyang Valley Body Cultivation Sect. Even though this treasured sword is a mid-level magic weapon, not many people can use it. As time goes by, it has naturally been demoted to this low-level tool room."

He glanced at the annotation again and found that the sword was named Qingyun Sword. As he expected, it was indeed a mid-level magic weapon, and a high-quality one at that.

The Azure Cloud Blade was forged by a mid-level weapon refiner. Compared to other magical artifacts with varying abilities, this Azure Cloud Blade was specifically designed for body cultivators. It has no special abilities, but its power is immense.

When one can perfectly wield and control it, a full-force attack can break through most defensive magical artifacts of the same level.

"It's impressive, but I can't use it. With my current level one of mortal cultivation, it feels like a child trying to wield a big sword. I might just chop myself up one day."

Chen Han hesitated again. "A mid-level magic weapon. It seems that I can only perfectly control it after breaking through to the second level of the mortal body, which corresponds to the mid-stage of Qi Refining in magic cultivation."

With a thought, a panel appeared before Chen Han's eyes.

Heaven rewards diligence; success is inevitable!

【Sword Control Technique (Mastery): 543/1000】

【Soul-Swaying Heaven-Supporting Skill (Minor Success) 4/100】

For a period of time, Chen Han specially took some time to study the relationship between this technique and the proficiency panel.

Although it was somewhat complicated, fortunately, perseverance paid off, and he finally figured out his current progress.

The cultivation level corresponding to the Soul-Sweeping Sky-Supporting Skill (Minor Success) is the entire Mortal Body Realm, which is further divided into Mortal Body Level 1, Mortal Body Level 2, Mortal Body Level 3, and Mortal Body Great Perfection. Beyond that is the Fusion Body Realm, which is comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The Mortal Realm has four levels, which correspond to the four major categories in the twelve levels of Qi Refining: Early Qi Refining, Middle Qi Refining, Late Qi Refining, and Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Therefore, the corresponding proficiency panel is divided into major realms of 25 proficiency points. That is to say, when the proficiency reaches 26/100, he is in the middle stage of Qi Refining, 51/100 is in the late stage of Qi Refining, and so on.

"I'm still more than twenty points short. In a mortal year, I only gain two points, and that's after eating a lot of monster meat."

Chen Han muttered to himself, "The extra bit is from taking a Body Tempering Pill that I bought at the Qingzhushan Market and cultivating along the way to Qingyang Valley for about five or six days. And I still have nearly 30% of the medicinal power left."

"But I only have fourteen Body Tempering Pills left. At that rate, I'll reach my goal in just three months... No, all pills contain toxins. Accumulating too many of these is no joke; it can be fatal!"

"Therefore, pills can only play a supporting role. The main way to cultivate is to eat spiritual food, such as demon beast meat, spiritual rice, and spiritual tea, which need to be consumed in large quantities."

"If we calculate it this way, it might take three, five, or even ten years to reach the first step of the second level of the mortal body."

"Sigh, cultivating immortality is really difficult..."

Chen Han said this, but he knew that for a low-level rogue cultivator like him with poor spiritual root aptitude and no background, it was already quite good that he could cultivate at this speed.

It should be noted that nearly half of the cultivators with four spiritual roots start cultivating at the age of sixteen and only break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining around the age of thirty.

Chen Han glanced around, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to go all in and chose the knife.

The idea was that at least in a critical moment when facing a life-or-death crisis, one could try to give it a shot, since its power was undeniable.

Immediately, he held his breath, stepped to the left and right, gripped the center of the hilt with both hands, and tried to lift it again, but ultimately failed. So, he simply put it into his storage bag.

Chen Han did not head towards the exit, but instead came to another place where there was an exquisite little box with a gold needle on it. Chen Han was then interested in this item and considered it as a backup, since he had experience with needles.

This needle is just an ordinary beginner-level offensive magic weapon, and there's only one of it, which makes it seem rather meager. Compared to others, it's quite weak.

However, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. The choice of which magic weapon to use depends on one's own shortcomings. Otherwise, it's better not to use it at all. Moreover, the golden needle has a unique feature at certain times: it is not easy to be detected and is suitable for sneak attacks.

Hmm... Chen Han is all too familiar with this move.

Of course, to expect this tiny needle to kill a cultivator would require the opponent to stand still and let him hit him.

Chen Han put both items into his storage bag and then left the equipment room.

When he came out, he was met with a somewhat reproachful look from Su Huoqing, who seemed to be blaming Chen Han for being too slow and not thinking ahead about what to choose.

It's nothing more than swords, knives, flying magical artifacts, and magical artifacts for escaping. What else could it be?

Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help but feel a bit curious, especially since she was going to check and supervise anyway.

"Junior Brother Chen, bring out the selected magical artifacts. Senior Sister needs to check and register them."

Chen Huoqing had her hair tied in a high ponytail, held a jade slip in one hand, and rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, making her look very capable.

Only five people among them had storage bags, and Chen Han was one of them. With a flick of his two fingers, two streaks of light flew out of his storage bag. Bang! One of them landed on the ground with a heavy thud, startling everyone, including Senior Sister Huo Jing.

The other one landed in Chen Han's palm.

Then, they were dumbfounded.

ha?

"Holy crap... Junior Brother Chen, you actually dared to take that! This is a mid-grade magic weapon, and the way you've paired it with other magic weapons, one heavy and one light, is it some kind of balanced meal plan...?"

"Furthermore, if you don't even choose a flying artifact, are you going to be using someone else's?"
