Cultivation begins with planting techniques

The night passed.

Li Ye woke up from his practice. He didn't know when, but he had exited the transformation of the Pure Turbid Willow and restored his human form.

After all, the Holy Tree Walker is only at level three, so the time he can maintain the transformation into a monster is naturally limited.

However, this does not hinder Li Ye's practice results.

Before exiting the transformation, he had already used the magic of the Jingzhuo Willow to successfully transform all the magic power of the Hunyuan Jue into the magic power of the Qingmu Sword Jue.

It even absorbs the unique wood energy of the pure willow to lay a nearly perfect foundation for itself!

At this moment, he was just sitting cross-legged on the spot, motionless, with a vigorous aura rising from his body, as if some sharp edge was leaking out.

Although his cultivation level has not increased, his overall temperament has undergone a qualitative change compared to when he first came to Tianjian Sect yesterday!
He snapped his fingers, and a sapphire-gold, pure and condensed sword light suddenly shot out, easily piercing the ground beneath his feet, leaving a hole that was about the thickness of a finger, but unknown how deep it was.

"The power of this Qingmu Sword's aura seems to be even stronger than what's recorded in the classics. Is this the benefit of using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense the sword seed?"

He murmured, looking satisfied.

The Tianjian Sect's skills are inherited from the same source. Based on the Soul Seed Contract Method and the Demon Seed Method, it has its own expression.

However, during the practice, the demon species can be changed, and the sword energy condensed by one's own magic power can be gradually immersed in it, turning it into a unique "sword species".

The sword species is essentially no different from the demon species, nor is it a manifestation of realm. It just transforms the demon species into a practice vehicle that is more in line with the way of the sword.

In this way, when the impure air is cleansed and pure spiritual energy is accumulated to provide feedback for cultivation, the sword type can not only make the effect of cleansing the impure air better, but also temper the spiritual energy in the process, so that it has certain sword energy characteristics.

With further refining, it will be more in line with the needs of swordsmanship.

Even if a cultivator does not have a demon seed but enters the Tao through the method of contracting spirits, he can also use the power of his own contracting spirit feedback to condense an illusory sword seed.

Once achieved, even without relying on the spirit contract, the cultivator himself can use this illusory sword to have a certain ability to cleanse the spiritual energy and eliminate some impurities.

However, there is no demon species to rely on to condense the sword species, and the mental energy and magic power required are enormous.

The demon species produced by the Wanren Peacock, the guardian beast of the Tianjian Sect, is very compatible with the way of the sword. The difficulty of transforming it into a sword species is also very small, and every novice cultivator can obtain it.

With such convenience, ordinary Juyuan cultivators would not go through the thankless task of contracting their own spirits and then refining the illusory sword seeds.

But Li Ye is different.

Although he was given a quota of the Wanren Peacock demon species when he entered the sect, he was not prepared to apply for it and implant it into his body to replace the mountain cat and kingfisher.

Although he himself did not lack the foundation for cultivation, he was also wary of implanting such a powerful force into his body.

Although the demon seed cultivation method in this world is perfect and may not have any disadvantages, it does not mean that the sect family will not use it to indirectly control the disciples.

It's enough to be constrained by the skills. Even if it means losing some of the magical powers brought by the monster species, it's better to save on this thing if possible!
And the facts have proved that with his own accumulated realm of Taoism, even if he did not have much corresponding attainments in the way of the sword, it would not be difficult for him to understand the exquisiteness of the Qingmu Sword Technique and analyze the sword method thoroughly.

After transforming into the Pure and Turbid Willow Spirit, he had his own completely compatible wood energy as the foundation, and did not need to seek external help or rely on the feedback from the kingfisher and mountain cat to condense the sword.

All conditions are almost optimal!
Changing the technique overnight made it easy to refine the Illusion Sword Seed. Once this technique was mastered, Li Ye could now feel a much clearer understanding of the sword path and a noticeable increase in the power of his technique.

"This realm's method is indeed unique!"

As Li Ye was pondering, all sorts of insights into the ways of the sword came to him at once.

Combined with the profound accumulation he has accumulated through practice, he has achieved various results.

It directly brought his swordsmanship to a new level!

At the same time, he also had more insights into the technique of this illusory sword.

"It can be condensed when entering the Dao. When practicing to the Xiantian realm, the evil spirit will gradually transform it from emptiness to reality. Then it will be combined with the Gang Qi and smelted together. This is the best foundation for forming a pill!"

This is almost equivalent to having a certain success rate in forming a pill, and before forming a pill, this method can be used to gain some magical changes.

Moreover, the condensed golden elixir should also have certain magical properties different from ordinary golden elixirs, which will be of great benefit to the sword skills.

This kind of method is first-class even in the human world!
But what’s interesting is that it is not taken seriously in the Tianjian Sect in this world.

"Perhaps before the world changed, this method of cultivating illusory sword seeds was the orthodox sword method of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It was only after the world changed drastically that, in order to adapt to the environment, it evolved into a method of refining demon seeds into sword seeds... Perhaps some other sects with long-standing traditions also have similar situations."

"There should be further improvement in terms of magical power transformation, but I'm afraid it won't be that powerful in assisting in forming the elixir..."

Although the Qingmu Sword Art is a descendant of the Tianjian Sect's orthodox martial arts, it is not a secret. Due to its own intention, its chapters have evolved to the end at the innate level.

When it was passed down, it was bound by a legal contract and could not be passed on to outsiders. Therefore, what Li Ye obtained was the complete version of the technique that could directly reach the innate level.

The description of the innate realm was almost the same as what he had guessed!
After a cultivator refines his evil spirit and ascends to the innate realm, he can practice as he pleases in the middle stage. In the later stage, he needs to refine another kind of罡气 that matches his own evil spirit. If he can harmonize and unify the two, he can reach the perfection of the innate realm and be qualified to condense the Yuandan.

The quality of the evil spirit and罡气 smelted by the cultivator, as well as the degree of matching between the two, will also affect the success rate of condensing the Yuandan!

From this perspective, compared to the cultivation methods in the human world, there are more constraints. If you want to break through the Yuandan, you must not go wrong on almost every path ahead, otherwise it will be extremely difficult.

However, the quality of the Qingmu Sword Technique itself is there, and there are only relevant descriptions about refining Yuandan without specific techniques. Li Ye only used it as a reference to sort out his ideas for cultivation.

"From today on, I can be considered a sword cultivator!"

Li Ye stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand to take the ironwood staff, poured all his magic power into it, and then refined it. The sharp golden sword energy accumulated inside immediately turned into the wooden staff and completely became a part of it.

A sharp aura emanated faintly from the round wooden staff, and even its shape changed slightly, seeming to become a little narrower and longer.

Holding the ironwood staff, he performed a sword technique, and saw the cyan sword energy emerging from it, which was quite smooth. Li Ye then withdrew his magic power and used the long staff like a cane again.

"With the continued practice of [Wood Staff Technique] and sword techniques, this staff will be the perfect foundation for a flying sword... Let's not talk about what it will become by then, but right now, who could have imagined that a staff could be so sharp and unstoppable?"

Li Ye had a teasing look on his face, eagerly anticipating the expression of the first person to fall into the pit. (End of this chapter)
