Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 266 – Sword Wraith Memory

Shu Changsheng had just mentioned that the strand of Sword Qi within him had grown slightly stronger.

It wasn't that he had cultivated new True Qi!

Under normal circumstances, cultivating the Five Elements True Art should result in the cultivation of one of the Five Elements True Qi, depending on the attribute of one's Spiritual Root.

The Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—cultivating any one of these attributes of True Qi is normal.

But strangely, Shu Changsheng hadn't cultivated any attribute of True Qi. Instead, he had strengthened that strand of Sword Qi within him.

Meng Fan's Divine Soul stirred, and he split his Divine Sense to check Shu Changsheng's body.

The result was exactly as Shu Changsheng had said: there was only Sword Qi within him, and no other attribute of True Qi had been cultivated.

Moreover, that strand of Sword Qi had indeed grown slightly stronger than before.

This... Meng Fan couldn't quite tell if this was a blessing or a curse.

But at least it proved that Shu Changsheng had a Spiritual Root and could cultivate.

Sword Qi could be considered Sword-attributed True Qi, so there was no need to worry too much!

Besides, this Sword-attributed True Qi could be considered innate for a sword cultivator.

To be honest, even the thunder-attributed True Qi that Meng Fan cultivated, in terms of power and lethality, would be inferior to this Sword-attributed True Qi!

Or perhaps, Shu Changsheng had some special physique.

Meng Fan, who handled swords daily, was already close to forming an acquired Innate Sword Physique.

The Innate Sword Physique is an extremely rare physique, one in ten thousand, one in a hundred thousand, or even one in a million!

There are many other special physiques similar to the Innate Sword Physique.

Perhaps Shu Changsheng had one of these special physiques!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Meng Fan's face.

Maybe he had really found a treasure.

Meng Fan patted Shu Changsheng's head and said with a smile, "Changsheng, the testing array's result was wrong.

The fact is, you have a Spiritual Root and can cultivate.

Your sister Liu will be very happy to hear this.

From now on, you must continue to work hard in your cultivation and strive to become a man who stands tall and proud!"

Shu Changsheng couldn't help but grin foolishly, extremely happy and excited.

After all, he was just a six-year-old child, though he had always appeared strong and steady before.

But in the end, it was all a facade forced by circumstances.

How could a six-year-old truly be steady?

It was just because he had been prematurely beaten down by life!

After chatting with Shu Changsheng for a while, Meng Fan let him go to share the good news with Liu Yanping.

Liu Yanping truly treated Shu Changsheng like a younger brother.

Hearing that Shu Changsheng had a Spiritual Root and could cultivate, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

She actually understood Shu Changsheng better than Meng Fan did. Having spent days and nights together, she knew very well how extraordinary Shu Changsheng's talent in the Sword Dao was.

She even felt that Shu Changsheng's talent in the Sword Dao was no less than Meng Fan's!

Of course, this was a misconception.

Liu Yanping felt this way only because of her affection for her younger brother.

In the entire Tianyuan Grand World, there couldn't be a second person whose talent in the Sword Dao matched Meng Fan's.

After all, Meng Fan's Sword Dao Transcendence was a supreme-level talent.

Supreme means unique and unparalleled!

"Changsheng, you must cultivate even more diligently. Who knows, one day I might need you to protect me," Liu Yanping said to Shu Changsheng with a smile.

***

At night, in his room, Meng Fan was fully focused on his cultivation.

In a month, he would follow Elder Lin to an appointment to compete with Ye Qinxin.

In this final period, Meng Fan wanted to make the most of his time to cultivate.

Although he believed that Ye Qinxin couldn't possibly be his match, caution and steadiness were ingrained in his bones.

With time still available, he naturally wanted to make use of it!

Cultivating to the Condensation Pill Realm within a month was unrealistic.

But at the very least, he could strive to reach the ninth level of Heavenly Origin.

"Meng Benefactor, if you wish to reach the Condensation Pill Realm within a month, it's not impossible," came the voice of the old monk from Meng Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

"What method do you have?" Meng Fan's Divine Soul asked the old monk expressionlessly.

"My relic still contains a considerable amount of power. If you use that power to cultivate, you can definitely break through to the Condensation Pill Realm within a month. However, using the power of the relic for cultivation requires a supplement of spirituality, otherwise, there will still be drawbacks!"

Although the old monk's words were vague, Meng Fan understood immediately.

He was asking for money!

Using the power for cultivation required spirituality.

To obtain spirituality, Spirit Stones were needed!

The old monk was indirectly asking for Spirit Stones.

Ever since Meng Fan's Divine Soul had been repaired, the old monk's supply of Spirit Stones had been cut off.

Without Spirit Stones, the old monk couldn't cultivate, and his Divine Soul couldn't improve.

How pitiful!

"Don't you know if I have any Spirit Stones? Do you think my few Spirit Stones are enough for you?" Meng Fan said to the old monk irritably.

If he had enough Spirit Stones, he wouldn't mind giving some to the old monk to gain some spirituality and use the power of the relic for cultivation.

But right now, Meng Fan had only about four thousand Spirit Stones, which wasn't enough for himself.

The old monk could forget about it!

As for the power in the relic, it didn't matter if it was used sooner or later; it wouldn't run away. When he had enough Spirit Stones in the future, he could let the old monk refine some spirituality and use it in conjunction with the power.

Meng Fan wasn't in a hurry!

Ignoring the old monk's repeated persuasion, Meng Fan walked out of the room and headed to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

The old monk immediately fell silent, becoming very obedient!

The old monk had a deep-seated fear of Elder Lin and would avoid him whenever possible.

Meng Fan wasn't going to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion to scare the old monk.

The old monk wasn't worth it!

Meng Fan's Essence of the Sword had been exhausted, and he was preparing to replenish it.

He had already wiped all the sword weapons on the first floor of the Sword Pavilion. Now, to obtain the Essence of the Sword, he could only wipe the swords on the second floor.

In fact, Meng Fan had already wiped about ten percent of the sword weapons on the second floor.

Most of the sword weapons on the second floor were Spiritual Swords, with a few being Law Swords.

If Meng Fan wiped all these Spiritual Swords and still couldn't handle the Law Swords, it would be a big problem.

At that point, he would have no way to absorb the Essence of the Sword.

However, there were still over a thousand Spiritual Swords on the second floor, which should last Meng Fan four to five months.

In four to five months, Meng Fan would have surely broken through to the Condensation Pill Realm, and his strength would have advanced by leaps and bounds.

By then, he should be able to easily withstand the power of the Law Swords!

"So late, what's the matter?" Elder Lin asked upon seeing Meng Fan.

"Master, I plan to wipe a few swords to calm my mind," Meng Fan casually made up an excuse.

Elder Lin nodded and said nothing more.

He actually knew that Meng Fan could gain some insights while wiping the swords.

Since it was beneficial for his disciple, he naturally wouldn't stop him.

On the other side, Meng Fan casually picked up a Spiritual Sword.
