Chapter 226: Sword Pill
Translator: TYZ Editor: X
Even though the plan Ai Hui thought of was slightly risky, it was not at all complicated.
Under the effect of the remnant energy waves of the sword embryo, the elental energy in his body had transford into elental energy swords. However, these elental energy swords had not actually completed their transformation yet.
Ai Hui was not unfamiliar with this kind of elental energy sword. In the past, the elental energy he developed was of this kind. The only difference was that he used to have the sword embryo in the past. The palpitating sword embryo was like a heart, directing these elental energy swords.
With the sword embryo around, these elental energy swords were extrely ta and could ticulously complete various operations without creating any negative effects on his body.
In terms of managing his elental energy, Ai Hui was overly dependent on the sword embryo. Especially toward the end, when the sword embryo beca increasingly powerful, he relied completely on the sword embryo to manage his elental energy.
Given that the sword embryo had now been destroyed, he was able to control these elental energy swords, but this was also the biggest problem he encountered so far. The sword embryo was the key to managing the elental energy swords. Without the key, the elental energy swords ran amok.
It was impossible to recreate the sword embryo.
He obtained the technique of developing a sword embryo by luck. Then, by coincidence, he successfully planted the sword embryo’s seed. Until now, he still did not exactly understand what had happened.
From a different perspective, this might not be a bad thing. It was unexpected that the sword embryo would develop to such a stage. He was perplexed on how to train from today onward.
The rupture of the sword embryo had temporarily raised his base level to a higher level while giving him experience that would last forever.
Even though the remnant energy waves from the sword embryo could affect his elental energy, the effect was minimal. Only a small portion of his tal elental energy was sword-attributed.
Since they had not completed their transformation into elental energy swords, why not intentionally completed the process? This was Ai Hui’s plan.
Right now, which aspects of Ai Hui were better than before? His understanding of swords.
His comprehension toward swords covered a wide range of sword-related topics, which included types of swords, swordsmanship, how he channeled his elental energy through his sword moves, etc. In other words, Ai Hui was acting as the role of sword embryo now.
Of course, Ai Hui was still not on the sword embryo’s level at the mont, which had been abnormally sensitive and instinctive to any sword-related matters. This was also why he could not do anything with the elental energy swords.
However, what if he made these elental energy swords larger? And made them look like an actual sword? With a more complete form?
Would it make it easier for him to control them?
Ai Hui felt this plan was dangerous since no one had done it before.
The elental energy in the eight palaces were pure in nature and were without form. This type of elental energy was easy to manage and not harmful to one’s body. As the elental energy continued to seep into one’s flesh and blood, his or her body would beco stronger. The theory of body-tempering was exactly based on this logic.
The more complete the form of the elental energy swords was, the sharper they would beco, making it easier for them to damage one’s body. Everyone wanted the flow of elental energy in their bodies to be as smooth as a river, not as painful as getting pierced by nurous swords.
Ai Hui was precisely worried about this. Would this plan damage his body severely before it actually worked?
All along, his five residences and eight palaces were not firm and solid. Once a palace or a residence was damaged, he would be essentially handicapped.
As for the problem of having difficulty or not being able to control the completely ford elental energy swords, Ai Hui felt that the problem was not necessarily unsolvable.
As long as he could wield a sword in his hand, he had a way of controlling the sword energy. Ai Hui had the most confidence with regard to this issue.
No one had ever thought of this plan before, hence, no one could give him directions.
After hesitating for two minutes, Ai Hui made his decision.
If this had happened before the blood catastrophe, he definitely would not take this risk. He would seek help from Master, Mistress, the dean, or anyone else who was extrely knowledgeable and could give him pointers. Asking for advice was safer than taking the risk himself.
Training was not child’s play. A failure might result in an irreversible loss. It was not surprising for one to damage his residence or palace, beco disabled, have a change in his temperant, or even die.
If Ai Hui had enough ti, he definitely would not take such a huge risk.
However, the problem was that he did not have enough ti now.
He was not in a peaceful and safe Central Pine City, but was rather in the midst of the blood catastrophe and could die at anyti. If his body did not recover soon, he would be in a precarious situation.
Now was not the ti for him to relax and explore different options. There might be a chance that in the next mont a blood fiend would barge into the training hall and kill him on the spot.
Ai Hui, who had been through the Wilderness, clearly understood the cruel reality of life. The more dangerous it was, the more everyone needed to display their usefulness. One could only survived if he or she was capable.
A king that lost power would soon be banished by his subjects.
If a king could end up like that, why would an insignificant individual like him not end up the sa?
He knew that Lou Lan, Fatty, and Shi Xueman would definitely protect him, but everyone else was powerless to even defend themselves. A powerful blood fiend would wipe them out completely.
Life was like a ga of poker. Those with more chips at hand could afford to go slow and steady. Losing a round would not harm them. Those with fewer chips, however, lacked the luxury of ti. Their only option was to bet their own lives at the gambling table.
Fortunately, Ai Hui was used to having no chips. The so-called choice that he had to make was rely an illusion.
He never had a choice in the first place.
If life was this way, then so be it. Whining and crying would only make one look weak. No one would pity him or help him. Life was like a battlefield, everyone had to brace themselves for the rain of arrows and the clash of swords. Cowards would always die first while the brave would advance by climbing over heaps of corpses.
Anyway, it could not be worse than this.
Ai Hui could only console himself like this. For now, he had not thought of any better plans. There might be so problems or repercussions in the future, but he did not care because he needed to have so self-defense capabilities first.
Ai Hui felt absolutely naked without a sense of security.
Without any hesitation, he started to brandish his sword. The elental energy in his body began to flow as well. Just like how he developed his elental energy in the past, he directed the energy from his body into the sword and then back to his body again, making a Circulatory Circle Revolution.
He used to do this with ease in the past, but now, without the sword embryo, the difficulty of this operation suddenly increased.
The process was not really smooth. Ai Hui had to keep brandishing the sword in his hand to direct the elental energy swords in his body.
He put all his concentration on channeling the elental energy and was extrely focused. The sword he wielded began to jerk nonstop. Yet, he stubbornly brandished his sword through all the jerking, as if he could not feel them at all.
The elental energy swords slowly flowed back from the sword in his hand to his body. They then continued through the eight palaces and made a Circulatory Circle Revolution.
After a Circulatory Circle Revolution was completed, Ai Hui could feel that the degree of sharpness of the elent energy swords slightly increased. Even though it was just a slight increase, Ai Hui was greatly encouraged by this since it happened like what he had predicted.
The amount of elental energy swords in his body was truly too trendous. Only a miniscule portion of these elental energy swords took part in the Circulatory Circle Revolution.
However, to Ai Hui, it was no doubt a good start.
By the ninth Circulatory Circle Revolution, Ai Hui finally felt a significant change in these elental energy swords. They had beco more nimble and smooth. The sword in Ai Hui’s hand was like a magnet, having a mysterious attractive force over them.
Ai Hui also discovered that sharper elental energy swords were easier to manage. With a jolt of his mind, the elental energy swords would quickly enter the Circulatory Circle Revolution. Their speed was much faster than his elental energy in the past.
However, he soon discovered a problem. These elental energy swords were too thin and small. At the sa ti, the amount of elental energy swords that he needed to control was far too copious. This had created a huge burden on his mind.
Perhaps he needed to gather them and make larger elental energy swords? Could this reduce the number of elental energy swords?
Ai Hui, who had already gone all-out, made his decision without any hesitation.
The hair-like elental energy swords kept on gathering and fusing together, forming larger and thicker elental energy swords. Such elental energy swords looked like actual swords. Ai Hui tried to make them look like the daggers in the bronze sword box, causing them to appear abnormally graceful.
Oh, the bronze sword box had been destroyed during the battle on the streets as well.
Ai Hui did not dare to slack off at all. The more powerful and bigger the elental energy swords were, the more dangerous they beca. Ai Hui wondered, if he was to suddenly stop moving, would a bloody hole suddenly appear on his body?
Next, a new problem arose in his mind. How could he store the elental energy swords in the eight palaces?
The highly tense Ai Hui did not have ti to sigh as he racked his brain for a solution. He had tried a few thods, but they did not really work. The elental energy swords were abnormally smooth and exceptionally sensitive to the sword in his hand. A slight movent of Ai Hui’s sword would cause them to make half a Circulatory Circle Revolution.
Ai Hui’s thod of using the sword to control the elental energy swords in his body was far less efficient than the sword embryo’s.
The absolutely empty eight palaces could not store the elental energy swords at all.
Ai Hui suddenly thought of the sword pill that Master had given him.
The two moves, [Crescent Moon] and [Dust Fall], originated from it.
Ai Hui had read many swordplay manuals before and knew a thing or two about sword pills.
The earliest swords pills were made by Cultivators by rolling up paper-thin, soft swords into a lump, resembling the size of mothballs. They could be hidden in the user’s clothes or body, making them difficult to be detected. This was why they were called sword pills.
Since these elental energy swords were not easy to control, could he make them into sword pills?
At this point of ti, Ai Hui did not care about anything else and just carried on with his plan.
Swordsmanship had been irrelevant for many years and a lot of people had never even heard of sword pills, let alone making sword pills.
Ai Hui needed to figure out everything by himself. He could only find the technique of making sword pills from the swordplay manuals he had read before, but it was not possible for him to follow the manuals step-by-step. He could only get a rough idea of how to make sword pills from them.
When he rolled an elental energy sword into a sword pill, he quickly realized that its size was too small, making it very light and hard to control. Furthermore, the process of rolling an elental energy sword into a sword pill was very unstable.
Ai Hui now had a much deeper understanding toward swords when compared to the past. Within a short period of ti, he was able to identify the reason.
He was not discouraged and started from the beginning again.
He started forming thicker and bigger elental energy swords again. He also created a huge amount of elental energy swords again.
Then, he controlled these elental energy swords and ford a whirlpool with them. By swirling these elental energy swords at a high speed and then compressing them, he eventually ford a perfectly round sword pill.
The sword pill levitated silently in Ai Hui’s left hand palace, spinning continuously.
The left hand palace was desolate and the sword pill was pathetically small, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled into a bright smile.
He felt that he had chosen the right plan.
