Although the sword scripture had only one page, it was densely packed with tiny characters the size of ants.
Both the front and back were covered, and there were also illustrations of sword dance pictures.
The opening lines consisted of four large characters,
[Great Kui Sword Scripture]
[I observed the Great Kui treading on the sea, inspired by the Dao of Heaven and Earth, thus creating the Great Kui Sword Scripture.]
[The Great Kui Swordsmanship is as fierce as fire, still unless moved, and when moved, it is like thunder, vast and domineering.]
[The stronger the sword Gu, the greater the power.]
[With Power Gu to assist, it can be greatly achieved!]
[With Thunder Gu to assist, only then can it be perfected!]
...
No wonder the Mountain Master wanted to learn it and said that others were not suitable.
This must be because I currently only have one sword Gu, and because the Grass Spirit Butterfly can bring in significant earnings, there’s enough Spirit Stones to raise another Power Gu. That’s why I was told to practice first.
The sword techniques of Wuyou Mountain mostly use Wind Gu or Fog Gu in combination.
It turns out the sword scripture is about coordinating different Gu insects to achieve unity.
Truly extraordinary!
With this sword scripture, once I buy a Power Gu Butterfly, my strength will surely take a completely new leap!
However, the Mountain Master couldn’t foresee that Chen Qing had a chance to obtain a Thunder Gu.
Of course, he wouldn’t ask a scholar for it; an exalted Taichu wouldn’t covet such a small item.
Although the Thunder Gu is rare, it can still be purchased.
The Power Gu needs to be bought, cultivation needs to be improved, Iron Skin Gu Butterfly must be continued, and Snake Gu must also be raised.
After calculating, Chen Qing suddenly felt that two thousand low-grade Spirit Stones seed hardly enough to spend.
Unexpectedly, even with over two thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, I am still a pauper!
When will these hard days ever end?
With a sigh, Chen Qing decided to first buy so precious spiritual dicine and check the effect of the Snake Gu on enhancing cultivation.
After his duty, Chen Qing began diligently practicing the Great Kui Sword Scripture, which was vastly different from the Sword Dao of Wuyou Mountain, broad and open, quite domineering.
At night, he went to the market, found a secluded alley, and used a clothes-changing magic technique to enter Wanbao Pavilion in a masked black robe.
He figured he might get overcharged at Wanbao Pavilion for quite a while; after all, buying at the stalls on the main street was too conspicuous.
Wanbao Pavilion’s tea room was rather discreet.
This ti, he was tended to by a young female cultivator, who spoke gently, "What would you like, sir?"
Chen Qing set down the bag he was carrying and presented a hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, "I want spiritual dicine; bring the best premium spiritual dicine you have, every kind, up to ten thousand Spirit Stones’ worth."
"I want those with strong and potent properties!"
Chen Qing added.
The female cultivator smiled happily, "Please wait a mont, sir, I will get them for you."
Excited by such a big sale, the female cultivator called a slender-waisted companion and went to the storeroom.
Soon, she returned with a long list and a large package.
"Please take a look, sir. In total, we have provided ten thousand and four hundred low-grade Spirit Stones’ worth of spiritual dicine, twenty-four kinds in total, all selected for their high age and strong properties."
Chen Qing opened the package, the size of a large basket, and was hit with a rich aroma of dicine, making his fingers twitch.
The spiritual dicines inside were plump; for example, the Heart-cleansing Lotus had thick, fleshy petals, evidently of significant value.
Surprisingly, there was even a Soul Stealing Flower, a spiritual dicine with fierce properties.
Chen Qing picked up the parcel and left. After he had gone, the two female cultivators cheerfully chatted, "Sister, you got a big sale this ti. This person is definitely preparing for a Gu Butterfly Transformation, ten thousand Spirit Stones, just starting as a foundation."
"No rush, he’ll co back. Give him so discounts, and he’ll choose us again next ti."
Finding an inn, Chen Qing went to a room and laid the spiritual dicines on the table one by one.
Since contracting the Snake Gu, he always felt a bit hungry when looking at the spiritual dicines, not sure if it’s a side effect of contracting the Snake Gu.
Picking up a Blood Ganoderma, Chen Qing weighed it for a mont, munched it in three bites, and swallowed. Within the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, he felt it was fully digested.
His entire body frantically absorbed the dicinal essence, and within monts, it was completely refined.
His cultivation improved slightly.
His physical body seed to have strengthened a bit too.
He picked up a Blood Ginseng and put it in his mouth.
Hmm, cultivation improved a little more.
After consuming a Soul Stealing Flower, it took a full half incense stick ti to digest.
Soul Stealing Flowers are exceedingly domineering while growing, absorbing all surrounding nutrients and life force, with intense dicinal properties. Typically, very few people use Soul Stealing Flowers for brewing because their potency is too strong.
He felt the surging dicinal power within his body; he felt as if he was floating on clouds!
Was it this stimulating?
It felt like he was undergoing a transformation, as if every pore was freely breathing and every bit of flesh and blood was fully absorbing the dicinal power.
He could clearly perceive that his control over his physical body seed to have improved by another level.
A single Soul Stealing Flower was able to increase his cultivation so much!
He sat cross-legged, carefully sensing his Dantian, which had noticeably enlarged compared to earlier in the day.
It seed like just four more Soul Stealing Flowers were needed to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refinent!
A bit overwhelming.
Since he had already spent ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, four or five thousand more wouldn’t matter. I’ll buy four more.
After a roundabout trip, he returned to Wanbao Pavilion and entered the tea room. "Why have you returned, sir?" asked the female cultivator.
Chen Qing said coldly, "I’ve been robbed."
Robbed harshly by the Snake Gu!
The female cultivator was instantly stunned.
Chen Qing, however, said, "Go, fetch four top-grade Soul Stealing Flowers, a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi, a piece of white jade, and a Demon Turtle Shell."
The Xuanhuang Qi, white jade, and Demon Turtle Shell were needed for the Iron Skin Gu Butterfly, and he was curious about any changes in its transformation.
The remaining Spirit Stones weren’t many, and aside from improving cultivation, the Iron Skin Gu Butterfly could be quite crucial.
"That totals to seven thousand two hundred Spirit Stones, seventy middle-grade Spirit Stones," she replied.
With the items in hand, Chen Qing entered a dark alley, waved his hand to store the items in his body, and used the fog to change his clothes before returning to Wuyou Mountain.
Back in the stone chamber that gave him great peace of mind, Chen Qing let the Iron Skin Gu eat the Promotion Items while the other Gu insects gnawed on Gu Spirit Grass. Chen Qing then planned to consu these four Soul Stealing Flowers, striving for a breakthrough to the fifth level of Qi Refinent in one go!
Swinging the Soul Stealing Flowers three or four tis and swallowing them, Chen Qing closed his eyes and began to ditate.
A quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes.
Almost there, nearly at the fifth level of Qi Refinent!
This cultivation speed was ridiculously fast!
One Soul Stealing Flower was almost equivalent to four months of arduous practice!
The growth was rapid!
Sensing his cultivation skyrocketing, Chen Qing picked up another Soul Stealing Flower and put it into his mouth.
anwhile, other Gu insects were happily munching on Gu Spirit Grass, while only the Snake Gu remained motionless as if in hibernation.
With three Soul Stealing Flowers remaining, he picked another one, chewed it in a few bites, and swallowed.
It didn’t taste as pleasant as Blood Ganoderma but the dicinal power was truly potent.
He sat cross-legged with his eyes shut, feeling the frantic increase of cultivation within and couldn’t help but smile.
Foundation Establishnt seed within reach, Foundation Establishnt indeed!
