Li Tianyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be modest, your contributions are obvious to all. The Chamber of Commerce has decided to award you the 'Outstanding Contribution Award' and reward you with 100,000 spirit stones, as well as the opportunity to enter the Chamber of Commerce's secret vault to choose a treasure."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were grateful when they heard this and bowed again: "Thank you, President!"
Li Tianyuan nodded, then looked at the other members who participated in the battle and commended their contributions one by one. Whether it was the monks who faced the enemy head-on or the disciples who provided logistical support, they all received due rewards.
After the commendation, Li Tianyuan's expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Although we won this battle, some problems were exposed. The threat from the Netherworld Sect has not been completely eliminated. We must be more vigilant and improve our strength to cope with future challenges."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded with serious expressions.
Fu Shaoping stood up and said in a deep voice: "President, I suggest that our Chamber of Commerce further strengthen its intelligence network and pay close attention to the movements of the Netherworld Sect. At the same time, we should improve the combat capabilities of our disciples and organize regular drills to deal with emergencies."
Nangong Wan also added: "In addition, we can also strengthen cooperation with other sects to jointly resist the threat of the Netherworld Sect."
Li Tianyuan nodded and praised: "Your suggestions are very good, I will arrange for their implementation as soon as possible. Next, our Chamber of Commerce will enter a period of intense preparation. I hope everyone will work together to protect our homeland."
After the meeting, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan left the meeting room and walked along the corridor of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Nangong Wan whispered, "Shaoping, what do you think the Netherworld Sect will do next?"
Fu Shaoping pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The Netherworld Sect will definitely not give up after this setback. They may secretly accumulate strength and look for opportunities to attack again. We must always remain vigilant."
After the battle with the Netherworld Sect, Fu Shaoping felt that his own strength was still insufficient, especially when facing masters in the Spiritualization Stage, he obviously felt overwhelmed. In order to improve his strength, he decided to concentrate on practicing the "Yunxiao Sword Classic", which is an extremely profound sword classic. It is said that if it is practiced to perfection, it can break all laws with one sword, and its power is infinite. Fu Shaoping first found the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Tianyuan, and explained his idea to him. After listening, Li Tianyuan nodded in approval: "Shaoping, it is very good that you have such an ambition. The "Yunxiao Sword Classic" is a secret classic of our Chamber of Commerce. It is extremely difficult to practice, but if you can achieve something, it will be of great benefit to your strength improvement." Li Tianyuan personally opened the Chamber of Commerce secret library for Fu Shaoping and took out the original copy of the "Yunxiao Sword Classic". Fu Shaoping took the classic, his heart was excited, and he said solemnly: "President, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations and practice with all my heart."
Fu Shaoping found a secluded place in the back mountain of the Chamber of Commerce and began to practice in seclusion. He first carefully studied the "Yunxiao Sword Classic" and found that this classic is divided into nine levels, and each level has corresponding sword moves and mental methods. The first level is called "Sword Qi Initial Formation", which requires practitioners to control the sword with their hearts and condense the sword energy. Fu Shaoping followed the mental method in the classics and began to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, trying to resonate with the Qingfeng Sword in his hand. At first, he felt that his spiritual power was not running smoothly, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the sword and his heart. However, he did not get discouraged, but tried again and again, and finally successfully condensed a trace of sword energy on the seventh day. The sword energy was like a silk, weak but extremely sharp. Fu Shaoping was overjoyed, knowing that his practice had begun to bear fruit.
In the following days, Fu Shaoping continued to practice the second level of "Sword Intention Clearness". This level requires the practitioner to guide the sword energy with the sword intention, and reach the state of the sword following the heart. Fu Shaoping meditated every day, comprehended the sword intention, and constantly practiced sword moves, striving to integrate the sword intention into every move and every style. After a month of hard practice, he was finally able to achieve a perfect fusion of sword intention and sword energy, and the power of the sword moves increased greatly. However, Fu Shaoping was not satisfied with this. He knew that each level of "Yunxiao Sword Canon" was extremely difficult, and he had to make more efforts to make a breakthrough.
When practicing the third level, "Sword Qi Transformation", Fu Shaoping encountered a greater challenge. This level requires the practitioner to condense the sword energy into a solid body, forming a sword shadow or sword formation. Fu Shaoping tried countless times, but he was still unable to condense the sword energy into a shape. He was anxious and even doubted whether his talent was enough. However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and decided to start again from the basics, carefully studying every detail in the classics and asking for advice from the sword masters in the Chamber of Commerce. After two months of hard work, he finally succeeded in condensing the sword energy into a sword shadow in one practice. Although the sword shadow was not stable yet, it was a huge breakthrough.
As he practiced more, Fu Shaoping gradually felt the profoundness of the "Yunxiao Sword Canon". Every level of improvement made his strength a qualitative leap. However, he also clearly realized that the road of practice was long and difficult, and he must persevere to finally achieve the state of great success. During the days of retreat, Fu Shaoping was focused and devoted himself to the practice of kendo. He knew that only by constantly improving his strength could he protect everything he cherished in the future crisis.
At the same time, Nangong Wan is also working hard to improve her own strength. She often comes to Fu Shaoping's training place to exchange sword skills and experience with him. The two encourage each other and make progress together. Nangong Wan's ice magic and Fu Shaoping's swordsmanship complement each other. In the exchange, they gradually figured out a unique set of combined attack techniques with amazing power.
Although the days of training were boring, Fu Shaoping felt extremely fulfilled. He knew that he was getting closer to his goal step by step, and one day, he would use the sword in his hand to cut off all threats and protect everything he cherished.
During their practice, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan gradually realized that their cultivation had reached a bottleneck, especially Fu Shaoping's sword realm and Nangong Wan's ice magic, which were close to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. In order to break through to the Fusion stage, they decided to look for relevant information and methods. After asking around and consulting classics, they learned that one of the keys to breaking through the Fusion stage is to use a precious elixir called "Fusion Pill".
The Fusion Pill is an extremely rare elixir, which is extremely difficult to refine and the materials required are extremely rare. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan decided to start from two aspects: one is to find the recipe and refining method of the Fusion Pill, and the other is to collect the materials needed to refine the Fusion Pill.
They first went to the secret library of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce and consulted a large number of classics and recipes. After several days of searching, they finally found the recipe for the combination pill in an ancient alchemy book. The recipe listed in detail the materials needed to refine the combination pill, including more than ten kinds of rare spiritual medicines such as "Nine-turn Ganoderma Lucidum", "Heavenly Heart Grass", and "Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow". In addition, the recipe also mentioned that the "Earth Core Fire" was needed as the fire source to refine the combination pill in order to ensure the quality of the pill.
Fu Shaoping looked at the recipe and frowned slightly: "These materials are extremely rare, especially the 'Nine-turn Ganoderma Lucidum' and the 'Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow'. I'm afraid they can only be found in some secret realms or ancient ruins."
Nangong Wan nodded and said, "That's true, but we can't give up. We can split up and find clues about these materials while looking for an alchemist who can make a fusion pill."
Fu Shaoping agreed and said, "Okay, let's do it. I will go and find out the whereabouts of the 'Nine-turn Ganoderma', and you go to look for clues about the 'Mysterious Ice Jade'. As for the alchemist, we can ask the president to recommend one." After the two of them had made their decision, they went their separate ways. Fu Shaoping went to the intelligence department of the Chamber of Commerce and asked in detail about the clues of the "Nine-turn Ganoderma". The elders of the intelligence department told him that the "Nine-turn Ganoderma" had appeared in the "Tian Shuang Mountains" in the Northern Territory, but the environment there was harsh, monsters were rampant, and it was extremely dangerous.
After hearing this, Fu Shaoping said without hesitation: "No matter how dangerous it is, I will give it a try."
At the same time, Nangong Wan went to the Chamber of Commerce's resource library to look for clues about the "Mysterious Ice Jade". The elder of the resource library told her that the "Mysterious Ice Jade" can only be found in extremely cold places, and the extremely cold place closest to the capital of Wei State is the "Ice Valley" in the East Region.
After hearing this, Nangong Wan immediately decided to go to the Frozen Valley to look for the "Xuanbing Jadeite".
Before setting off, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan found Li Tianyuan again and explained their plan to him. After listening, Li Tianyuan pondered for a moment and said, "You are going to face many dangers, so be careful. I will prepare some life-saving magic weapons and elixirs for you in case of emergency."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan said gratefully: "Thank you, President!"
Li Tianyuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "We are all family, no need to be polite. In addition, regarding alchemists, I do know an alchemist master who lives in seclusion in 'Danxia Mountain', named 'Xuan Danzi'. His alchemy skills are extremely advanced, and he may be able to refine a fusion pill. You can go and look for the materials first, and when the materials are ready, I will introduce you to someone else."
Fu Shaoping first went to the "Tian Shuang Mountains" in the northern region to look for the "Nine-turn Ganoderma". The Tian Shuang Mountains are covered with ice and snow all year round. The environment is extremely harsh, monsters are rampant, and there are many dangers. However, Fu Shaoping did not back down. He knew that the "Nine-turn Ganoderma" was one of the key materials for refining the fusion pill and must be found. The severe cold climate of the Tian Shuang Mountains consumes a lot of spiritual power from the cultivators. Fu Shaoping needs to use his spiritual power at all times to resist the cold. There are many powerful monsters living in the mountains, especially those above the Nascent Soul stage, which pose a great threat to Fu Shaoping. The Tian Shuang Mountains have a complex terrain, and many places are covered with ice and snow, making it difficult to identify the direction. Fu Shaoping needs to rely on his spiritual sense and map to move forward carefully.
After several days of trekking, Fu Shaoping finally found the trace of "Nine-turn Ganoderma" in a hidden valley. However, the one guarding this magical medicine was a frost giant ape in the late Nascent Soul stage. Fu Shaoping knew that it was not a wise move to fight head-on, so he decided to outsmart it. He used the terrain and the habits of the frost giant ape to set a trap, and finally successfully lured the giant ape away and successfully picked the "Nine-turn Ganoderma".
At the same time, Nangong Wan went to the "Ice Valley" in the East Region to look for the "Mysterious Ice Jade". The Ice Valley is an extremely cold place, covered with ice and snow all year round, and the cold is overwhelming. Nangong Wan can better adapt to the environment here with his own ice magic. However, there are also many dangers hidden in the Ice Valley, especially ice monsters, which pose a considerable threat to Nangong Wan.
After some searching, Nangong Wan found the "Mysterious Ice Jade" deep in an ice cave. However, there was an ice dragon in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul lurking in the ice cave. Nangong Wan did not act rashly, but used his ice magic to deal with the ice dragon, and finally successfully led it away and took away the "Mysterious Ice Jade".
After completing the task, the two quickly returned to the capital of Wei and reported the situation to Li Tianyuan. Li Tianyuan was very satisfied with their performance and introduced them to the alchemy master "Xuan Danzi" who lived in seclusion in "Danxia Mountain". Xuan Danzi was a highly respected alchemy master with extremely advanced alchemy skills. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan took the collected materials and went to Danxia Mountain to meet Xuan Danzi.
Xuan Danzi saw the materials they brought and nodded in approval: "It is not easy for you to find these rare materials. However, refining the fusion pill requires extremely high control of the fire and spiritual power. You need to assist to ensure the success of the pill."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan respectfully agreed. Under Xuan Danzi's guidance, they began to refine the fusion pill. The process of refining the pill was extremely complicated, requiring more than ten kinds of rare spiritual medicines to be refined one by one, and then fused with the "fire of the earth's core" as the fire source. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan assisted throughout the process, carefully controlling the temperature and spiritual power to ensure that every step was accurate.
After several days of refining, the fusion pill was finally successfully produced. The pill was crystal clear and exuded a rich spiritual energy. Xuan Danzi handed the fusion pill to Fu Shaoping and said lightly: "This pill has been refined, you can take care of it."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were overjoyed and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will remember it in my heart."
With the fusion pill, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan returned to the capital of Wei State. They were preparing to break through the fusion stage in seclusion, but they learned from an elder of the Chamber of Commerce that breaking through the fusion stage requires not only the fusion pill, but also an auxiliary spiritual object called "Guiding Incense". Guiding Incense can help cultivators stabilize their souls during the breakthrough, avoiding the instability of the soul or even going astray due to the surge of spiritual power. However, Guiding Incense is extremely rare and can only be found in some special places.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other. Although they felt helpless, they also understood that this was the only way to break through the fusion stage. They decided to set out again to find the incense. After consulting the classics and asking around, they learned that the main source of the incense was the "Ghost Swamp" in the southern region. The Ghost Swamp is a mysterious and dangerous area, shrouded in fog all year round. It is home to many strange creatures, and it is even said that ghost cultivators in the transformation stage appear.
Although the Ghost Swamp was extremely dangerous, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan had no choice. They reported the situation to Li Tianyuan, who pondered for a moment and said, "The Ghost Swamp is indeed very dangerous, but since you have decided to go there, I will prepare some life-saving items for you."
