Taking a pill and contemplating Sword Intent on Jade Screen Peak, Shuangbai gathers scrolls and consults the Book Spirit
Jade Screen Peak.
Changming held a jade plate with his tongue, on which lay a round pill, and hopped over to Chen Shuangbai, calling out, "My lord, it's time to take your medicine."
The handsome Daoist priest changed into a moon-white scholar's robe and sat lazily under the eaves. Beside him, on a jade table, was a cup of tea and a plate of fruit, all of which were new dishes that Juanniang had learned, and they tasted quite good.
Chen Shuangbai reached out and took the jade plate, picked up the pill and put it in his mouth. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, and a warm medicinal power slid down his throat into his abdomen, slowly spreading throughout his body.
He didn't pay much attention and continued looking at the Daoist book in his hand.
The elixir is a secret technique passed down within the Jade Spring Sect, and it is called the [ Jade Flow Treasure Pill ].
This elixir uses precious ingredients and requires a third-level Alchemist to refine.
Previously, there were no third-tier Alchemist in the sect... but Gongye Chun has cultivated two, and together with himself, there are a total of three third-tier Alchemist. It is time to bring these third-tier precious pills, which have been gathering dust in the Book Collection Cave, back into the light of day.
Although it's impossible to completely eradicate the demonic light within the body, it can at least be suppressed and weakened little by little, it just takes a long time.
The days following the injury were initially quite difficult.
But Chen Shuangbai gradually found enjoyment in it.
A gentle breeze caressed my face.
A tiny, glowing figure, about the size of three thumbs, landed on the jade table beside Chen Shuangbai. Holding a small bamboo tube, it took a big sip of the cool, sweet honey water, then flicked its finger, and a Jade Slip fell to the side.
The glowing little figure mumbled, "Hey! The sword techniques and insights you requested are all left behind by our sect's predecessors. I spent a great deal of effort compiling them into books from various locations in the Book Collection Cave."
Chen Shuangbai looked at the glowing little figure, cupped her hands slightly in thanks, and said, "Then thank you very much, Zhang Yin!"
This is precisely the Book Spirit of the Book Collection Cave.
The Book Spirit was not allowed to leave the Book Collection Cave, because his life depended on the restrictions of the Book Collection Cave, and it was the wonder of the Book Collection Cave that sustained his existence.
However, considering that his Daoist Dao Child needed to quietly recuperate these days and take the opportunity to cultivate, True Lord Qingchen made an exception and released the Book Spirit, but it could only move around on Jade Screen Peak.
After all, although the Book Spirit only has Foundation Establishment cultivation and not many combat techniques, he has his own special characteristics.
The Book Spirit waved her hand dismissively, as if it were nothing, then took a sip of honey water from the bamboo tube, let out a satisfied little burp, and sat on the edge of the jade table, her legs dangling in the air. Watching Chen Shuangbai peruse the Jade Slip slip, she then said:
"Fate is cruel... I only helped you because I saw your talent, who would have thought..."
"What did you expect?"
Chen Shuangbai turned her head slightly to look at Book Spirit, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
"Who would have thought that you would not only Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment, but also a Golden Core cultivator... and even become Dao Child of my Jade Spring Sect!"
At this point, the Book Spirit was quite moved. Looking at the magnificent scenery of Jade Screen Peak before her, so much better than the cramped environment of the old Book Collection Cave, she sighed, "Now I have to admit that I was inadequate in judging people and things in the past."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai was both amused and exasperated.
Even he had to admit that he was far inferior to Book Spirit in the art of speaking.
He simply ignored the Book Spirit and picked up the Jade Slip, continuing to immerse his Divine Sense into it.
The Four Realms of the Sword Dao Sword Qi, Sword Essence, Sword Intent, and Sword Primordial Qi.
Chen Shuangbai has now cultivated to the Sword Essence stage, and it didn't take him too long to achieve this.
However, the stage from Sword Essence to Sword Intent is much more difficult than the stage from Sword Qi to Sword Essence.
Sword Essence possesses a spirit. Only by repeatedly honing this spirituality and integrating it into one's understanding of the Dao Path can one eventually have a chance to transform and achieve Sword Intent.
Sword Qi and Sword Essence are not the same realm, while Sword Essence and Sword Intent are another realm.
Chen Shuangbai's current sword techniques are all based on his understanding of the Dao Path, and most of them are rooted in the Dao of Supreme Yin, whether it is [ Shattering the Moon and Parting the Waves ], [ A Line Across the Frosty Sky ], [ Flowing Light on Snow ], or the [ Jade Light and Flowing Radiance Illuminate the Night ] that ultimately killed High Person Jinquan.
Although these sword techniques are incredibly powerful, strictly speaking, they are more like Divine Ability derived from Chen Shuangbai's integration of the Dao of Supreme Yin into his Swordsmanship, rather than pure Sword Intent.
This stage was very painful and torturous.
It depends on both fortuitous opportunity and talent.
The appearance of [ Jade Light and Flowing Radiance Illuminate the Night ] allowed Chen Shuangbai, who was cultivating the Law Sword, to vaguely grasp that mysterious realm.
But that feeling, like flowing water, slipped away silently through the gaps between my fingers, disappearing without a trace.
Chen Shuangbai had no choice.
Therefore, he asked the Book Spirit to compile the sword techniques of his predecessors, both to broaden his horizons and to see if he could stand on the shoulders of giants and rediscover that profound and mysterious feeling.
[ Foot-Long Silk ] flew out of the pavilion, transforming into a streak of frost and snow. Sometimes it skimmed over the cold pool, splashing up waves, and sometimes it weaved through the pavilion, passing between windows and doors, scattering specks of fluorescent light.
Since personally slaying the Late Golden Core Stage Old Devil, High Person Jinquan, this precious sword seems to have received tremendous nourishment, and its spirituality has increased considerably; it is now incredibly active.
Chen Shuangbai ignored it and continued to look at the Jade Slip in front of him.
Before long, a streak of azure light flew down from the foot of the mountain and landed on the mountain path of Jade Screen Peak, transforming into a young female cultivator wearing a water crane feather robe. It was Lu Xiangyuan, who had returned from Sunken Jade Valley.
"Master, your disciple has returned."
Chen Shuangbai looked up and saw the three disciples' beaming faces. She smiled and asked, "Have you gone to see your parents?"
The saying goes, "Wealth and honor should not be returned to one's hometown; it is like wearing fine clothes at night."
Chen Shuangbai was quite "wealthy" back then, and immediately returned to his hometown. Now that his disciples have all achieved Foundation Establishment, how could he not let them enjoy it too?
"Why not stay a few more days... I'm sure the Lu Lineage would send someone to personally congratulate you!"
Lu Xiangyuan stepped forward and sat down directly to the side, saying without any politeness, "Master, you are mistaken. While the Lu Lineage naturally congratulates me on my successful Foundation Establishment, I should be the one in charge, and they should be my subordinates!"
"I will do as I please; why should they interfere?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled without saying a word.
His three disciples, though seemingly carefree and mischievous, were actually quite cunning and not easily manipulated or taken advantage of.
Such a personality makes it less likely for one to suffer losses in the world of cultivation.
Lu Xiangyuan then took out the scroll she had received from her father from her bosom and handed it to Chen Shuangbai. Her tone was much more solemn as she said, "Master, I've had my father collect a few of the spirit birds that helped you heal your injuries. I'll go down the mountain to find them soon. You just need to rest and recover in the mountains and wait for my return."
