Chapter 111: Body-Tempering Sword Formation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A sword light suddenly rushed out from the fog and slashed at Li Ming!
Li Ming, who had been cautiously waiting for a long time, suddenly put his fingers together and shot out a sword light that clashed with the incoming sword light.
The dazzling lights canceled each other out as soon as they collided.
Before Li Ming could come back to his senses, two more sword lights shot out from the fog!
Li Ming did not say anything and simply focused on brandishing his two swords.
Now, there was a total of four sword lights shooting toward Li Ming from different angles.
Li Ming was flustered.
More and more sword lights appeared, so much so that Li Ming had greater and greater difficulty reacting to them.
Eventually, the sword lights began reaching and making small cuts on his body, causing him to scream in pain. It was only then that he realized just what kind of formation he was in!
It turned out that it was a sword formation! But then he immediately began to question why he was thrown into this sword formation.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If it was not for his vast knowledge and experience, he would have already been forced to surrender!
Regardless, the purpose of this formation was to help him temper his body!
Who was the one who thought of using a sword formation to body tempering? Li Ming felt the urge to kill them.
He was not stupid. When he thought of the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] and the Vajra Seal Mantra, he was enlightened. Each sword light was very small. Although they were not life-threatening, each sword light possessed terrifying might.
It had to be taken note of that ordinary flying swords could not hurt his body at all.
When Li Ming had that thought, his heart trembled. Could it be that he had been stabbed by so many flying swords that his skin had become so tough that ordinary flying swords could not pierce through it?
A terrifying thought flashed through his mind, but he also had a premonition that his earlier thoughts were very likely to be true.
The first round of sword rain had caused Li Ming to be hit seven times in a row. He was in so much pain that he raised his head and howled.
Fortunately, right after that, the fog dissipated slightly.
However, Li Ming did not slack off because of this. If nothing unexpected
happened, then another wave of sword light should be coming soon.
Martial Uncle Xin’s personality was fully integrated with his sword. He would never let anyone have the slightest chance to breathe.
And Li Ming was right to think that!
Just a few moments after he had cleared the first round of sword rain, the second round of sword rain had already appeared.
He did not have the time to think too much. He jumped up and shot out sword lights of his own.
Although he had already comprehended sword intent, he was still hit twelve times under this round of attacks.
This time, he did not curse his martial uncle, but he still activated his cultivation technique without hesitation.
If he did not focus, he would soon be riddled with holes. Under the second round of attacks, he had a much more difficult time holding on. Each of the twelve attacks made his heart ache.
Fortunately, the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique was easy to understand and operate. At the same time, Li Ming finally managed to cultivate the Vajra mental cultivation technique to the extreme before the third round of sword rain arrived.
A golden light appeared on his body. Before he could be proud of his achievement, the third wave of sword rain had arrived.
As he listened to the continuous pitter-pattering sound that was just like the sound of rain, he was relieved from a considerable amount of pain.
But soon after, the wave of sword rain this time was even more violent than the previous two waves. Even Li Ming, who had the Vajra mental cultivation technique, was a little dumbfounded.
In the end, Martial Uncle Xin carried the bruised and swollen Li Ming and flew toward his residence. The outer sect disciples who caught sight of them when they were on their way all revealed looks of pity—their Senior Brother Li Ming was truly so miserable!
Of course, there were also rumors that emerged.
One such rumor was that Li Ming had offended Martial Uncle Xin, which then caused Martial Uncle Xin to fly into a rage and punish him personally.
Another rumor was that Senior Brother Li Ming was actually practicing a supreme cultivation technique. This supreme cultivation technique was extremely ferocious. All the female disciples could testify to this.
When Li Ming woke up from his room, he saw the flying spirit beast on his roof.
He could finally rest. Before leaving, Martial Uncle Xin said that he would return in five days.
Of course, the sword formation could not be used every day. Moreover, the practice of alchemy was also a compulsory course for him.
If he did not improve the next time, he would be dead.
The mental cultivation technique cultivation method of the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] had a slight healing effect. With just a slight circulation of the technique, Li Ming’s body began to heat up.
This gave him a fright. Among all his mental cultivation techniques, the one belonging to the Soul-Refining Art was the most comfortable. The peace of mind it brought him was indescribable. When the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] circulated in his body, it was not as intoxicating as the [Soul-Refining Art]. However, the injured Li Ming felt that this warm sensation suited his current self much better.
As the cultivation of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique and the Vajra Seal were much simpler, he did not encounter any obstacles.
They were not like the Soul-Refining Art that made him nearly spit out a mouthful of blood every time he practiced it.
After four hours, Li Ming felt refreshed, and the scars on his body had faded. He was ecstatic.
He walked to the front of the spiritual field in the valley and glanced at the destroyed spiritual medicines with some heartache.
The grade of this spiritual field was not high. And due to neglect, the originally weak spiritual medicines that had been in the spiritual field had ultimately degraded.
Li Ming gritted his teeth and picked all the herbs that were about to mature but were still considered weak. He planned to sell them all.
It was not easy for him to obtain his martial uncle’s magnanimity and be granted five days of leave. Li Ming let out a sigh of relief as he welcomed the period of rest.
He knew that this was only temporary and that he would have to go back to experiencing nightmarish training again in five days, so he decided to spend these five days of rest as well as he could.
As he hummed a tune, he placed his hands on his head and flipped through the jade slips that he had borrowed from the scripture depository.
Once he relaxed, he could not help but think of earning crystals! This was something that could not be helped. He soaked in the medicinal bath every day and needed a large amount of medicinal herbs.
And right now, he naturally had no source of income. Besides, he had not learned any new pills.
The jade slip mentioned a method called the Water Refinement Technique.
In this world, there were many ways to refine medicinal pills. Most of the refining methods were based on refining flames, so the Water Refining Technique was relatively uncommon.
Anyway, the Water Refinement Technique seemed to be something that would allow him to make the most out of his current situation. This line of thought made Li Ming admire it very much.
A person’s life would always be affected by various factors, but most of the factors could not be changed. Therefore, in this unfavorable situation, in order to achieve good results, one must have enough knowledge.
There was a cold spring water in the stone room. It was not bad to use it to
cultivate water attribute cultivation techniques.
Most of the medicinal pills refined by the Water Refinement Technique were extremely cold. This was the limitation of the Water Refinement Technique. But at this moment, Li Ming had no other option.
There were many pill formulas related to the water element on the jade slips. He read ten lines at a glance and chose some pill formulas that were suitable for him to refine at the current moment, silently memorizing them..
