Chapter 802 - 330: It’s Him, Elder Chu!

Chu Ning looked at the five Spirit Swords, feeling excitable yet slightly regretful.

After all, these five Spirit Swords were not refined at the same time; when refining the first three Spirit Swords, Chu Ning’s cultivation was still low.

Unable to capture the Tier Eight Demon Beast Essence Soul, so their power naturally does not match the later Gold Spirit Sword and Water Spirit Sword.

Especially the Water Spirit Sword, which has refined a complete Essence Soul of a mature Tier Eight Demon Beast.

Among the first three Spirit Swords refined, the Fire Spirit Sword was still decent, as it absorbed a trace of the Fiery Sun Spirit Bird’s Essence Soul at that time.

Moreover, the Fiery Sun Spirit Bird’s level was exceptionally high.

But the Wood Spirit Sword and Earth Spirit Sword were relatively weaker in power.

Thus, when forming the Five Elements Sword Array, their power might not be maximized.

However, upon reflection, Chu Ning felt that it wasn’t really a big deal.

After all, the initial refining methods for the Five Elements Spirit Sword did not require the condensation of Demon Beast Essence Souls.

Chu Ning used Black Profound Gold for refining, which enhances magical power, making it inherently stronger than normal Five Elements Spirit Swords.

And the power increase of the Gold and Water Spirit Swords is merely further enhancement on this basis.

It didn’t lower the power of the Five Elements Sword Array.

In the future, there will be opportunities to enhance the power of the Wood Spirit Sword and Earth Spirit Sword.

It’s a pity that the other Tier Eight Demon Beasts in the Central Sea Region are of water, gold, and fire attributes.

If there were wood or earth-type Tier Eight Demon Beasts, Chu Ning wouldn’t mind hunting two more.

Nonetheless, although the other Spirit Swords cannot currently capture Tier Eight Demon Beast Essence Souls.

However, a slight improvement is still possible.

That is to integrate Profound Spirit Earth Crystal into the Flying Swords already refined before.

At this moment, Chu Ning withdrew the Water Spirit Sword into his body for cultivation and nurturing, and his gaze fell upon the other four Spirit Swords.

After a short meditation to recover his magical power, Chu Ning began to extract a piece of Profound Spirit Earth Crystal along with the Gold Spirit Sword.

The next moment, Chu Ning opened his mouth and spewed a cluster of Pill Fire, wrapping them both together.

All of Chu Ning’s Spirit Swords are his Lifebound Magical Treasures, cultivated and nurtured with his Primordial Spirit and Pill Fire. Despite the high temperature of the Pill Fire, it does not damage them.

The Profound Spirit Earth Crystal, under such Pill Fire refinement, slowly began to be refined and dissolved.

With Chu Ning’s Pill Fire guidance, it gradually seeped into the Spirit Sword.

Once completely merged into the Spirit Sword, Chu Ning withdrew it into his body, continuing to nurture it using Pill Fire and Primordial Spirit.

Then, Chu Ning repeated the process until all four Spirit Swords had merged with the Profound Spirit Earth Crystal, thus truly completing the refinement of the magical treasure.

At this moment, Chu Ning took out a Jade Scroll.

This Jade Scroll was replicated from Jiuhua Sect at the time, containing the complete Five Elements Chaos Technique.

Chu Ning had long cultivated the previous content, but now he was about to cultivate the Sword-Driving Technique of the Five Elements Sword Array.

Regarding the Body Protection Divine Light in the Five Elements Chaos Technique, Chu Ning had begun attempting to cultivate it over the last month.

Having cultivated the Driving Technique and Body Protection Divine Light of the Five Elements Sword Array in the Cultivation Room for several days, Chu Ning then left the room and arrived at the Spirit Medicine Garden.

According to the schedule, today was supposed to be the time for the Snow Crystal Ganoderma to condense Spiritual Liquid again.

However, when Chu Ning arrived at the Spirit Medicine Garden, he saw that the white leaves of the Snow Crystal Ganoderma hadn’t become completely transparent.

It was still in a state of not having condensed Spiritual Liquid, looking like it still needed several more days.

"Bai Ling!"

Seeing this, Chu Ning called Bai Ling over, somewhat confused:

"Haven’t you been accelerating the maturation of this Snow Crystal Ganoderma recently?"

Recently, Chu Ning had been focused on refining the Water Spirit Sword and cultivating the Five Elements Sword Array, leaving him without ample time to use the Profound Spring Youth Technique on the Snow Crystal Ganoderma.

But if Bai Ling had been accelerating its maturation, it shouldn’t be this far apart.

"I was just about to tell you, Master."

Bai Ling, seeing Chu Ning’s inquiry, said with a helpless expression:

"Master, just sense the Spiritual Qi briefly, and you’ll know."

Chu Ning, upon hearing Bai Ling’s words, sensed it briefly and exclaimed in surprise:

"What’s going on, the Spiritual Qi seems to be much thinner."

After speaking, Chu Ning seemed to realize and quickly said:

"Is it because the Hidden Spirit Vein consumed too much Spiritual Qi?"

Bai Ling nodded, "In the Inner Sea, Spiritual Qi is still insufficient, unable to promptly replenish the Spiritual Qi consumed by the Spirit Vein."

Chu Ning lightly raised his brows, realizing this is the downside of the Hidden Spirit Vein.

The advantage of the Hidden Spirit Vein is its concealment; once discovered, its grade is invariably good.

But its disadvantage is that it absorbs Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi slower than normal Spirit Veins, so Hidden Spirit Veins are often small.

The Hidden Spirit Vein here is not large; initially, it was basically enough for Chu Ning’s cultivation and Spirit Plant Cultivation.

But within roughly the past year, Chu Ning first broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage, consuming a large amount of Spiritual Qi.

Then refining the Gold Spirit Seed for magical power conversion, absorbing a greater amount of Spiritual Qi.

After that, two Golden Thunder Eagles broke through, also requiring a massive amount of Spiritual Qi support.

Additionally, the various spirit plants Chu Ning now cultivates are of high level, absorbing Spiritual Qi quickly.

In such massive consumption, it has already exceeded the limit of this Spirit Vein.

At this moment, Chu Ning also speculated that possibly refining this Water Spirit Sword due to condensing the Tier Eight Demon Beast Essence Soul also attracted a large amount of Spiritual Qi recently.
