Chapter 29: Hanyue Sword

Lin Luo took Yun Shang on a tour of the entire Yunhai Peak. After she chose the cave, she decorated it according to her own preferences.

The cave she chose was on the side of the top of Yunding Peak, and in the middle of the peak was the cave of her master. Yun Shang liked this location very much, there was a medicine garden, a waterfall not far away, and an open space that could be used as a martial arts training ground in the future.

The most important thing is that the cave is located at the top of Yunhai Peak, where you can climb up and see a lot of scenery in Immortal Sword Sect. This will make Yun Shang feel as if everything is in her sight, and she feels very good about this feeling!

The next day, Yun Shang came to Qingmu Daojun's cave.

"Have you chosen the cave?"

"I have chosen one. It is not far from the master's cave."

"Well, that's good. I don't like crowds, and there aren't many people on Yunhai Peak. If you encounter any problems, you can ask Lin Luo. He knows more about Yunhai Peak. Of course, you can also ask me."

"Yes, Master." Yun Shang replied a little restrainedly.

"Judging from your bone age, you are about six years old? What kind of skills do you usually practice? What do you want to practice?"

"Master.. This disciple has her own skill to learn but doesn't have spell technique. And… This disciple also want to practice swordsmanship!" Although she felt ashamed, Yun Shang still decided to be honest here.

"Oh… do you want to become swords cultivator?"

"I am sorry, Master. This disciple just couldn't help but admire sword cultivator. But disciple also want to become alchemist." Yun Shang felt guilty as master must have choose her to become alchemist.

"No , you don't need to feel guilty. It's true that I will teach you alchemy, but you can still do what you want." As if knowing her thought, Qingmu Daojun reassure her.

"If you are willing to work hard master will not deny your request, but you should work harder than others."

"Yes, master. Thanks for giving disciple a chance"

"Okay, then master will give you this fire-type spell 'Fire Wheel Ring', later Master will ask Lin Lou to prepare the necessary for you. "

"Master has sword technique found in ancient cave. This sword technique is called the Broken Moon Technique, and this technique found together with the sword called Hanyue Sword. As for the proficiency you need to explore it yourself, master recommend you to go training sword in Sword Trial Tower in sect" As he said this, he gave Yun Shang two jade slips.

"Disciple thanks the master!"

"This is the Ten Thousand Plants Collection. It contains more than 90% of the spiritual plants in Shenwu Realm. You should study it carefully. There are more than 10,000 kinds of spiritual plants planted on Yunhai Peak. You should know their medicinal properties well. It contains my years of research experience of cultivation, alchemy, and formation. Master see that you seems to want learning various skill, why not try formation. You can refer to it. It may be helpful to you."

"Disciple will definitely practice well and become familiar with the spiritual plants on Yunhai Peak as soon as possible." Yun Shang hastened to express her opinion. The cultivation experience of a great master in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm is more precious than those spiritual treasures.

"You must practice hard and live up to your master's expectations. This is a meeting gift from your master, please accept it."

"Thank you, Master," Yun Shang happily took the storage bag handed over by Qingmu Daozun.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go down now. If you have any questions about cultivation, come and ask me anytime. This is my communication talisman. If you encounter any emergency and can't come to see me, use this. Take it."

"Yes, Master. I'll take my leave now." After handing her communication talisman to Qingmu Daojun, she left the cave.

Yun Shang returned to her cave and hurriedly took out the jade slip and storage bag that Daoist Qingmu had given her. She read the jade slips, the "Fire Wheel Ring" is technique that can be used for both offense and defense, but it was a little more difficult to practice. As her cultivation level higher, the fire wheel rings would change from one to two, from two to three.. so this skill will be stronger as long her strength allow it.

But it required the ring-shaped skulls of nine Fiery Kites, and they had to be killed at once, and the fusion of the blood marrow in the bones and her own fire spiritual power had to be completed within twelve hours. It seems this is what Master ask me to wait Uncle Lin.

"Broken Moon Technique" was very exquisite sword technique and it did not restrict the spiritual root attributes of the cultivator. It means all attribute can be attached when attacking with this sword technique. It seems perfect to her, as she has Chaos spiritual roots, if she only can use one type of element, isn't it a waste?

Along with the "Broken Moon Technique", there is also a magic sword with a cold glow, named Hanyue, a growing magic weapon.

After it recognizes its master, as the master's cultivation level rises, the Hanyue Sword's grade will also be upgraded along with it, with no upper limit.

Growing magic weapon is extremely rare. Now Hanyue Sword is just top-grade magic weapon.

When she cultivate to the early of the Golden Core, the grade of the Hanyue Sword will be upgraded to the top-grade spiritual treasure.

After that, when her cultivation breaks through to the Divine Transformation, the grade of the Hanyue Sword will not continue to increase until she ascend to the Immortal Realm and directly become an Immortal Weapon.

It was also attributeless weapon, now it was only top-grade magic weapon, it needs her heart blood for refining it and to be placed in the Dantian for warming. Then it became her handy weapon.

Yun Shang took out jade slip from the storage bag, then she found "Traceless Step", It was a set of light-weight martial arts technique, a powerful tool for escape and very practical. It seems Master add it when she said she want to learn sword.

There are many treasures in the storage bag given by Daozun Qingmu, including a jade pendant that can withstand three full-strength attacks from a Divine Transformation cultivator. Yun Shang immediately put it on her body, as it is a life-saving item.

Secondly, there are three talismans, which are equivalent to the three strikes of a Divine Transformation cultivator; and two sets of green robes, made of good material, which can withstand some attacks. She thought that they should be better than the green silk snow yarn at the auction. Her master really likes the color green.

Yun Shang studied under a Divine Transformation cultivator, and her seniority was the same as those Yuanying elders, so she didn't need to wear the sect's disciple uniform, and no one gave her a disciple uniform. However, Lin Luo gave her an identity card.

Then there was a pair of green earrings. After refining them, Yun Shang realized that they were a spiritual tool that could be used to change a cultivator's cultivation and appearance. They could not be detected by cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. The items made by the master must have been of excellent quality. 

The rest were various kinds of elixirs. He was indeed a master of alchemy. All of them were top-grade elixirs, including elixirs for replenishing spirits, elixirs for fasting, elixirs for healing, and elixirs for detoxification. However, there were no elixirs that could increase one's cultivation.

Cultivators cannot take too many elixirs that increase their cultivation level, as this will affect their foundation and be detrimental to their future advancement.

Taking too many pills will also cause poisoning in the body, so the monks need to take body-tempering pills to temper their bodies. No matter what kind of pills, it is better to take less.

In addition to some talismans and magical instruments for daily practice, Taoist Qingmu also gave Yun Shang a prescription for strengthening and widening the tendons and veins.

It turns out that tendons and veins can be strengthened just like the flesh, Yun Shang thought. The spiritual plants in the prescription are basically available on Yunhai Peak, but she needs to find them herself. It seems that the master is quite good at teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

After sorting out the things given to her by Taoist Qingmu, Yun Shang began her journey of cultivation in Immortal Sword Sect.

In the beginning, Yun Shang basically ran around the mountains and wild areas of Yunhai Peak. Although she had an inexplicable familiarity with spiritual plants, it still took her several months to find more than a hundred kinds of spiritual plants that could strengthen the tendons and veins. After finding all the spiritual medicines, Yun Shang ran to Qingmu Taoist's cave to ask him how to brew them.

"Master, I have found all the spiritual herbs needed in the prescription, but I don't know how to brew them."

Qingmu Daojun looked at Yun Shang nonchalantly and said, "Just boil them together."

So simple? Yun Shang thought silently, "Then is there anything that Master needs to pay attention to?"

"No need, just bear with it while taking the medicinal bath. It's best to keep soaking in this medicinal bath."

"Yes, Master."

It's fine to do it yourself. Yun Shang doesn't know yet that in order to make this recipe for strengthening tendons and veins, she will search all over Shenwu Realm for elixirs.

Every time a cultivator advances to a higher level, the spiritual medicine she needs is different. As she gets closer to the end, the types and quantities of the spiritual medicines he needs will increase, and their ages will also increase, which really makes her miserable.

However, the effect is also very good. No one dares to compete with them in spiritual energy within the same level. The stronger the tendons and veins, the more spiritual energy can be stored, and it is not easy to hurt the tendons and veins during a fight. However, Yun Shang did not know this at the moment, and Qingmu Daojun did not tell her in detail.

After Yun Shang took a bath in the medicinal formula for strengthening the meridians, she felt that the pain of the she suffers all of her life was nothing. Compared with this medicinal bath, it was really dwarfed by the pain.

However, the effect is also very significant. During practice, when the spiritual energy flows through the tendons and veins, as long as you continue to condense and compress the spiritual energy, the tendons and veins will continue to widen and strengthen.

In the past, she was afraid that her cultivation would increase too quickly, so she suppressed her cultivation and struggled to widen her tendons a little bit. Now, although the medicinal bath was extremely painful, it could lay a solid foundation to prevent her cultivation from increasing too quickly, and it could also widen and strengthen her tendons. Yun Shang felt that it was very good.

It would be great to have a master who is well versed in pharmacology!
