Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 2: The Legend of the Fate Sword
The two thought about it for a long time, but in the end they couldn't come up with any idea.
The fog surrounding this matter is so thick that it is difficult to dispel.
Lu Qingshan could only put the matter aside for the time being, but this at least made him more careful.
"One year ago, when I first met you, you were just a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining." Tan Tai said in a clear and gentle voice. Although his tone was extremely calm, his heart was surging with emotions.
"It's just a natural talent." Lu Qingshan spread his hands indifferently and replied.
The scene fell into silence for a moment.
With Tan Tai's pure and gentle personality, she would never ask too many questions about Lu Qingshan's affairs as long as he was unwilling to say more.
This is also an important reason why Lu Qingshan will continue to cooperate with her.
"Are you planning to repair a single sword or multiple swords?" Tan Tai Qingrun no longer dwelled on the previous topic, but asked with interest.
"Master Tantai practices multiple swords?" Lu Qingshan asked back.
He remembered that Tan Tai Qing Run had two natal swords.
"Yes," Tan Tai Qing Run did not deny it, nodded and added: "However, I am only planning to cultivate these two natal swords. Even if I cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I probably won't have more."
A sword cultivator roams the world, and when he reaches great perfection, he can wield a flying sword from a thousand miles away in an instant and take a person's life.
But there are always differences and similarities in the focus of practice, and the most obvious difference is reflected in the natal sword.
Whenever a sword cultivator reaches a higher realm, he can cultivate an additional natal sword. The only limitation is that the attributes cannot overlap.
So in theory, a sword cultivator, by the end of his practice, can possess up to seven natal swords with different attributes, namely the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and two different ones: wind and thunder.
Of course, the tricks involved are not that simple and there are still many things to pay attention to.
It takes a great deal of time and spiritual energy for a sword cultivator to cultivate his natal sword. And as the sword cultivator continues to cultivate it, the natal sword will gradually grow and evolve, and its power will continue to increase.
This involves a problem: people's energy and time are always limited. Should we choose to be good at one thing or to be proficient in all things?
If one only cultivates one natal sword and specializes in it, then one will have the opportunity to cultivate this natal sword to an extremely powerful level. The disadvantage is that the means are limited.
If one practices multiple natal swords, the advantage is that one has many means and all five elements are present. Depending on the opponent one faces, one can produce natal swords with different attributes, which is flexible and changeable.
The disadvantage is that it will consume a lot of energy. When distracted, the power and strength of the natal sword will naturally be inferior to that of a sword cultivator who only cultivates one natal sword.
No matter how many swords you have, what’s the point if they are no match for one of mine?
In addition, there is another very important point.
Under the cultivation of the sword cultivator day and night, the natal sword will gradually become a part of the sword cultivator's life. Although its power is terrifying, it also brings a side effect - if the natal sword is destroyed, the sword cultivator's origin will be damaged at best, and the foundation of his Tao will be destroyed at worst.
Compared to a cultivator who only cultivates one natal sword, a sword cultivator who refines multiple natal swords has a much greater possibility of having his natal sword destroyed due to the increase in the number of his natal swords and their weaker strength.
Taking all the above reasons into consideration, among sword practitioners, the single sword style is the mainstream, while the multiple sword styles are only a minority. Moreover, the vast majority of the multiple sword style practitioners, like Tan Tai Qingrun, only practice two natal swords.
However, compared with other sword cultivators, Lu Qingshan has an unparalleled advantage.
——He does not need to expend his own energy to practice his natal sword, but can directly increase his experience points to improve it.
If that's the case, then why wouldn't he follow the Multi-Sword Style?
Therefore, even though the Dragon Sparrow Sword is the sword of absolute destiny of heaven and earth, Lu Qingshan never intended to use the Dragon Sparrow Sword as his only natal sword.
Two fists are no match for four hands, so having an extra sword is naturally an extra means, so why not do it?
"Multi-Sword Flow." Lu Qingshan glanced at Qin Yitian, who was standing beside him with a calm and dignified expression, and said concisely.
After getting the answer, Tan Tai Qingrun nodded and said nothing more.
"There are still some things that have not been dealt with in Lingxu Building. I'll go there to deal with them. You have just entered the Golden Core stage, so you should consolidate your cultivation first." Soon, Tan Tai Qingrun said goodbye.
In fact, after knowing that Lu Qingshan was preparing to advance to the Golden Core stage, Tan Tai Qingrun put aside what he was doing and waited outside the quiet room.
Her idea was very simple. She wanted to protect Lu Qingshan. If anything went wrong during Lu Qingshan's breakthrough, she could help him in time.
Although she also knew that with Lu Qingshan's talent, there was no reason for him to fail in breaking through to the Golden Core realm, but she still did so to be on the safe side.
Even though Lu Qingshan didn't really need this kindness, he still appreciated it.
At least from these many performances, it seems that Tan Tai Qing Run does not just treat him as a pawn to seek credit.
…
Seeing Tan Tai Qingrun leave, Lu Qingshan walked straight back to the room that Tan Tai Qingrun had arranged for him.
After entering the room, Qin Yitian suddenly said, "Young Master, if you want to find another natal sword, you don't have to care about my opinion. I am just your sword, and my duty is only to fight for you, and I will not interfere with your choice."
Lu Qingshan was a little embarrassed.
Obviously, when he answered Tan Tai Qingrun's question about his natal sword, the obscure glance he gave Qin Yitian was noticed by Qin Yitian.
Because of Qin Yitian, when he decided to follow the Multi-Sword Style, he inexplicably developed a strange sense of guilt called cheating in his heart, which made him feel a little guilty for some reason.
Vibrate!
The Dragon Sparrow Sword flashed out from Lu Qingshan's dantian and hung in front of Lu Qingshan. Qin Yitian turned into a red light and sank into the sword again.
"However, as my sword master, I hope that the natal sword you seek is not too low-grade, but should be worthy of you." Qin Yitian's voice came from the sword, "At least, a sword of the level of a three-foot-tip sword is far from enough."
Lu Qingshan was speechless and curled his lips silently.
"Lu...Lu..." The trembling voice of the Western Rat King came.
Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, "Hmm?"
The Western Rat King pointed at the Dragon Sparrow Sword floating in the air , his teeth chattering, "Qin Yitian, how...how did she get in?"
Lu Qingshan spread his hands. "She is a sword spirit. Is there anything strange about her returning to the sword?"
"Ah? Qin Yitian is a sword spirit?" The Western Rat King was suddenly stunned and couldn't react.
Lu Qingshan didn't waste any more words with the King of Western Rat. He put the Dragon Sparrow Sword into his dantian and began to concentrate on the distribution of experience points.
He had been saving up experience points before in order to use them for his golden elixir breakthrough. Now that his goal had been achieved, he naturally would not be stingy with it.
In terms of experience point distribution, the highest priority is naturally the natal sword.
Maintaining the sword is always one of the most direct ways for sword practitioners to improve their combat power.
Moreover, although Qin Yitian said that he didn't care, if Lu Qingshan really believed it, then that would be his problem.
Women always say one thing and mean another.
The same is true for the female sword spirit.
——It’s a good opportunity to coax Qin Yitian at the same time.
"You spend 10,000 experience points to upgrade the Dragon Sparrow Sword to LV2 (0/10w) - All sword skills performed with this natal sword will increase the damage by 20%!"
"You spend 100,000 experience points to upgrade the Dragon Sparrow Sword to LV3 (0/100w) - All sword skills performed with this natal sword will increase the damage by 30%!"
Just as Lu Qingshan's experience points poured out, extremely astonishing changes occurred in his dantian.
Extremely dense spots of light continued to appear out of nowhere and rushed towards the Dragon Sparrow Sword madly.
Contained within these spots of light is Lu Qingshan’s spirit.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword involuntarily emitted a clear sword chant, and a halo of light circulated on the surface of the sword, madly swallowing up the large number of light spots.
The brilliance of the Dragon Sparrow Sword and its connection with Lu Qingshan were constantly improving as it absorbed light spots.
Shining!
A flash of light flashed across the sword, and its shape became blurry. After a moment, it stabilized.
Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that the connection between him and the Dragon Sparrow Sword was much closer than before.
In this case, the power of all sword skills he performs with his natal sword will be increased accordingly. (All sword skills performed with this natal sword will have a damage increase of 30%!)
This is the process and benefits of sword training, it is intuitive and powerful.
