Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique

Lu Changfeng left the Hall of Worship's Scripture Pavilion with the replica of the Seven Styles of Fengtian.

He didn't return to the Hall of Worship but instead left the Wang Manor.

Worshippers of the Wang Family were permitted to enter and leave the Wang Manor freely when they were not on duty.

Lu Changfeng went straight to a teahouse located near the city gate.

He lifted the curtain of a private room, where Chun Zhu was already waiting with a large parcel.

Every few days, Chun Zhu would deliver a sufficient amount of Silkworm Meat to Lu Changfeng for his cultivation.

The Earth Dragon Meat provided by the Wang Family alone was not enough for Lu Changfeng's cultivation.

After a brief, intimate moment, Chun Zhu reluctantly bid him farewell.

Lu Changfeng left the teahouse, casually carrying the parcel towards a nearby weapon shop.

The initial stage of cultivating the Seven Styles of Fengtian required a saber weighing a hundred catties.

Lu Changfeng found the owner of the weapon shop and stated his requirements.

First, he wanted a saber weighing a hundred catties made according to a specific style. Second, this saber should be able to have its weight increased at any time in the future.

The quality was not particularly important; as long as the weight was sufficient, even pig iron would do.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Changfeng paid a deposit of twenty taels of silver and arranged for the saber to be delivered in three days before leaving the blacksmith's shop.

Returning to the Wang Manor's Hall of Worship, Lu Changfeng took out a portion of Silkworm Meat and gave it to Black Ox.

He then immersed himself in his cultivation.

Three days later.

Lu Changfeng went to the blacksmith's shop to retrieve his great saber.

As a considerable amount of iron was used, it cost Lu Changfeng a hundred taels of silver.

This saber was about 1.8 meters long and weighed a hundred catties! Held in his hands, it perfectly complemented Lu Changfeng's height of over two meters, exuding an extraordinary aura of dominance!

However, wielding a hundred-catty saber to practice saber techniques...

In the small courtyard.

Lu Changfeng took off his outer clothes, revealing a well-muscled upper body.

The first form and breathing technique of the upper nine layers of the Seven Styles of Fengtian were already vividly imprinted in his mind.

Lu Changfeng swung the great saber and began to practice.

Within a few moves, Lu Changfeng's body began to turn red, and sweat poured down his face.

"This isn't right. Fortunately, I'm at the sixth level of Blood Tempering and have Grade A Upper Bone Structure, giving me excellent physical condition. Otherwise, practicing this saber technique would truly injure my body."

Wielding the hundred-catty saber and performing the movements required by the upper nine forms of the technique caused a tearing sensation in Lu Changfeng's body.

He had to practice with extreme caution.

"The sixth level of Blood Tempering should be the minimum requirement for practicing this saber technique, and there should be requirements for Bone Structure as well."

"And in this era, it's not the ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant. Basically, every martial artist at the sixth level of Blood Tempering chooses to advance to the Muscle Tendon Realm."

"Otherwise, once they reach a certain age, their Blood Essence will decline, and their chances of entering the Muscle Tendon Realm will decrease."

"Therefore, this technique, which requires the sixth level of Blood Tempering to begin practicing, naturally became a mere display piece."

Lu Changfeng concluded this as he practiced.

At this moment, his body felt a strong tearing sensation, but the Blood Essence within him began to churn again, clearly more stimulating than the effects of cultivating Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra!

Cultivating this technique might greatly accelerate Lu Changfeng's progress in the Blood Tempering Realm; reaching the ninth level of Blood Tempering was not out of the question.

"Let's try integrating Saber Intent into the cultivation."

Enduring the tearing sensation in his body, Lu Changfeng activated his Saber Intent and continued to practice the first form of the saber technique.

With the aid of Saber Intent, Lu Changfeng's body still bore the same pressure, but it felt significantly easier.

Moreover, it seemed that the Saber Intent was also being integrated into the physical tempering, leading to even stronger effects!

Finally, with the help of Saber Intent, Lu Changfeng completed the first form of the nine-layered saber technique and collapsed on the ground, utterly exhausted.

An unprecedented sense of fatigue enveloped Lu Changfeng's body and spirit.

But Lu Changfeng was in high spirits because he had proven that this technique was not just a fictional script but a genuine supreme-grade cultivation method!

If the Blood Tempering Realm cultivation method of this technique was real, it meant that the subsequent initial opening of eighty-one meridians in the Muscle Tendon Realm was also real!

Lu Changfeng realized he had unearthed a treasure.

"Judging by the damage to my body."

"I can practice this saber technique at most once a day when I first start."

"I hope that with continued practice, there will be significant improvements."

Lu Changfeng took out some Silkworm Meat and threw it into his mouth.

He devoured several catties of Silkworm Meat with gusto.

Chun Zhu's skill in preparing dried Silkworm Meat was impressive; she had even gone to a restaurant to learn the technique.

As a result, the Silkworm Meat tasted exceptionally good, far better than the Wang Family's Earth Dragon Meat.

After consuming a large amount of Silkworm Meat, Lu Changfeng's body began to rapidly recover, his Blood Essence surging and growing.

Lu Changfeng opened his status interface.

He saw the updates on the screen.

Martial Arts Insights: Fierce Wind Sword Intent (Beginner Sword Intent) (Sword technique power increased by 50%), Falling Leaf Saber Intent (Beginner Saber Intent) (Saber technique power increased by 55%).

Copy Interval: 12 days.

So, this nine-layered saber technique was fully named [Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique].

It seemed that cultivating this body-tempering technique, besides the requirements of Blood Tempering Sixth Layer and excellent Bone Structure, also had certain demands on saber talent.

No wonder even with his High-grade [Blade Supremacy] talent, he still found this body-tempering saber technique obscure and difficult to grasp.

"With so many cultivation requirements, it's understandable why this technique has been circulating in Fengcheng for so many years without anyone mastering it, and is treated like a fictional script."

He lay on the ground for another ten minutes.

Only then did Lu Changfeng drag his weary body up, take a hot bath, and collapse onto the bed, fast asleep.

For the next period of time.

Lu Changfeng spent his days cultivating, sleeping, and occasionally interacting with Chun Zhu to exchange for Silkworm Meat.

Ten days later, Lu Changfeng could already practice the first layer of [Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique] twice a day.

The Copy Interface was also close to refreshing.

Lu Changfeng pondered whose Bone Structure and Talent he should copy.

There were a few options. Firstly, Wang Yue's Grade A Mid Bone Structure.

Then there was the Ye Family's Ye Sheng's High-grade Talent [Assassinate].

However, to meet these two and touch their bodies, some groundwork would be needed.

If he acted too strangely, it would arouse suspicion.

After all, Lu Changfeng wasn't planning to stop after just one copy.

Besides these two options, there was another: the Worshippers in the Hall of Worship.

These Worshippers often gathered to play cards and spar when they were bored.

Physical contact was completely normal among them.

Moreover, these thirty-odd Worshippers were definitely outstanding in terms of Bone Structure and Talent among ordinary people.

There might be Bone Structure or Talents that Lu Changfeng needed among them.

"It's been a while since I came to the Hall of Worship, and I haven't visited my colleagues yet."

"Today, I'll visit them one by one, and coincidentally check their Bone Structure and Talents."
