Chapter 121: Three Lives Technique, Sword Pill, Returning to the Sect

Sword Nurturing Technique.

The Sword Pavilion had three inheritances: Nurturing Sword, Condensing Sword, and Soldier Sword.

The Sword Qi of the Nurturing Dantian contained sword intent and condensed the sword bone. It could defeat a Heaven Realm expert for a hundred breaths in one go. After unleashing the sword, one would need 60 years to unleash a second sword.

This was the Nurturing Sword Technique.

The Condensing Sword Qi was the sword of the soul. Similarly, it could match a Heaven Realm expert for a hundred breaths in one go. However, the soul would be exhausted. After unleashing the sword, there was basically no chance of unleashing it a second time.

This was the Condensing Sword Technique.

As for the Soldier Sword Technique, the cultivator fused his body with the sword. The sword was his body, and his body was the sword. The sword and the cultivator were one. It was a powerful weapon.

This was the Soldier Sword Technique.

Among the three inheritances of the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Nurturing Technique was regarded as the orthodox inheritance.

As soon as Lin Chongxiao’s remnant soul entered Lin Shen’s glabella, Lin Shen, who was struggling non-stop, trembled. His eyes shone like a vortex.

Pain flashed across his face, but he bared his teeth and his eyes were smiling.

“Big Brother…”

As he spoke, Lin Shen held the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly. Sword qi intertwined around his body.

The jade-colored skeleton that was locking him stopped shrinking. Instead, it looked like it was about to escape.

“What cultivation technique is this? Can it actually fuse with the Heaven Realm’s Jade Bone?”

“This, Old Man Chongyun, you’re crazy. This is the jade bone you’ve cultivated for countless years. Are you going to let others benefit from it!”

There was panic in Daoist Dayan’s voice.

Han Muye saw Lin Shen’s aura rise rapidly and become dense.

The jade-colored skeleton had already fused into his body. A vigorous sword intent circulated, forcing him to let go of the broken sword.

Han Muye looked at Lin Shen.

At this moment, he had done everything he could. Whether he could fuse with the jade bones of a Heaven Realm expert depended on Lin Shen himself.

“Kid, with your cultivation, are you worthy of fusing with the jade bone?” Daoist Dayan’s voice was filled with ruthlessness.

Sharp sword qi cut Lin Shen’s body, leaving behind traces of blood.

“Be good and give this body to me!” The sword qi rushed into Lin Shen’s body, making him, who was already in extreme pain, bend down and tremble.

“No way, no way!” Holding the broken sword in his hand, Lin Shen shouted in a low voice. Then he raised his sword and did a forward slash.

“Boom—”

The 10-foot sword light smashed into the stone wall, causing a large portion of the wall in front of him to collapse.

“Swing the sword ten million times and shatter the mountains!”

With every swing of his sword, Lin Shen roared.

The sword qi on his body became denser, and Han Muye had no choice but to retreat.

“Senior Brother Han, are you alright?”

An anxious voice sounded as Bai Suzhen landed beside Han Muye.

Shopkeeper He, whose aura was rising, held a green bone fan and protected Bai Suzhen.

Han Muye shook his head.

He didn’t blame Shopkeeper He for escaping with Bai Suzhen first.

There were not many people who would shield him like Instructor Lin.

Therefore, he gave this opportunity to Instructor Lin.

“Boom—”

The sword light in Lin Shen’s hand became deeper and brighter. Every time the sword qi slashed down, countless rocks shattered.

On his body, a jade-colored halo kept circulating.

“Boom—”

The sword beams exploded and the entire cave began to collapse.

Countless rocks fell, and clouds of smoke billowed.

“Let’s go. We’ll wait outside.” Shopkeeper He waved the Green Edge Bone Fan in his hand, and the astral wind turned into a tornado, protecting Han Muye and Bai Suzhen in it. They flew into the sky and left.

The three of them landed 1,000 feet above the ground and watched as the sword beams exploded.

“The power of this sword qi is already comparable to an Earth Realm expert,” Bai Suzhen said in a low voice.

Lin Shen had not even reached the Foundation Establishment realm before. At this moment, the sword light in his hand was already at the Earth Realm.

This improvement was more than a hundred times.

“The jade bone of an ancient cultivator has fused with his body. The danger involved…” Shopkeeper He shook his head with a hint of envy.

Once the jade bones fused with his body, he would reach a higher realm all at once.

But he had to stay alive to fuse with the jade bones.

Not to mention that Lin Shen had yet to cultivate to the Earth Realm, even if he was at the peak of the Earth Realm, he would still have a slim chance of survival.

Shopkeeper He didn’t dare do such a thing anyway.

“This is really Instructor Lin’s opportunity…” Bai Suzhen whispered.

Her understanding of Lin Shen was that he was an ascetic and had some perseverance.

When he protected Han Muye, he was also responsible.

He really did not expect that he would have such an opportunity today. As long as he endured it, he would be able to achieve instant success.

After fusing with the jade bones of a great cultivator, he would at least have the combat strength of a half-step Heaven Realm expert.

“Boom—”

The thousand-foot stone mountain below was shattered and collapsed immediately. A sword beam that soared thousands of feet into the sky!

Even a Core Formation cultivator would find it difficult to resist this sword.

Before entering the Earth Realm, he already had the combat power of an Earth Realm expert!

Lin Shen, who was holding a broken sword, stepped forward.

Jade-colored spiritual light and sword qi surrounded his body. With every step he took, the gravel and dust exploded around him.

This was a sign that his strength was too strong to be restrained for the time being.

The power was so strong that the clouds within a 10-mile radius were shaken.

“Brother Han…” Lin Shen walked up to Han Muye. There was a hint of sadness on his face.

Han Muye nodded and said softly, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother Chongxiao also hopes that you can have the opportunity today.”

Lin Chongxiao’s remnant soul had already exhausted its strength to help Lin Shen cultivate the Sword Nurturing Technique.

From then on, Lin Chongxiao no longer existed in this world.

Lin Shen nodded and slowly restrained his aura.

“These were hidden in that cave abode.” Lin Shen raised his hand, and a jade slip and two small jade bottles appeared.

Han Muye took them and pressed the jade slip to his forehead.

The jade slip recorded a spell, the ‘Three Lives Technique’.

This technique was a technique to stabilize the soul and reduce consumption.

The remnant soul of the great cultivator named Chongyun relied on this technique to survive for 10,000 years.

Such a technique was priceless in the hands of great cultivators, especially those who were about to run out of lifespan.

“I will copy this cultivation technique and hand it over to store owner Bai.” Han Muye put away the cultivation technique and looked at the two jade bottles in his hand.

The jade bottles had a talisman and a spirit pattern to seal it. This was why the jade bottles still shone with spiritual light.

“If I’m not wrong, the pills in these jade bottles must be related to reincarnation.”

Han Muye handed two jade bottles to Bai Suzhen and said, “Pick one.”

Bai Suzhen smiled and reached out to choose one of them. Then she waved her hand gently and said, “I’ll find someone to appraise it. If it’s precious and Senior Brother Han is willing to help, I can facilitate the transaction.”

Neither Han Muye nor Bai Suzhen needed such a pill for the time being. It would naturally be a good thing if they could exchange this pill for resources.

It was most appropriate to exchange useless treasures for useful resources.

Han Muye and Bai Suzhen didn’t dare to open the jade bottles casually. After all, it had been 10,000 years. Without sufficient means, if they opened them rashly, the pills would probably turn into powder.

In this cultivator’s cave abode, not only did Lin Shen obtain a good technique, Han Muye and Bai Suzhen also obtained a jade bottle each. It could be considered a small gain.

After all, without the protection of spiritual energy for 10,000 years, there were not many things that could be preserved.

“Let’s go. There was quite a commotion just now. Someone will come to investigate soon.” Shopkeeper He looked around and said in a low voice.

Although he didn’t obtain any treasures, Bai Suzhen wouldn’t treat him badly.

The flying boat floated in the air. The four of them did not stay any longer and left quickly.

A moment later, a few figures flew over.

“There’s an Earth Realm expert attacking here.” The few of them checked and did not find anything. They turned around and left.

After they left, a gray gopher more than two feet long crawled out of the rubble.

“Old Man Chongyun, and these little fellows, just you wait. I’ll definitely take back what belongs to me…” The gopher whispered. It was Daoist Dayan’s voice.

…

The flying boat turned around and landed outside the Nine Mystical Mountain a day later.

“Young Master Han, please take care of my Zhenling Treasure Shop’s business in the future.” Shopkeeper He smiled and cupped his hands at Han Muye, then looked at Lin Shen and nodded with a smile.

Today, Lin Shen should be treated seriously. He was no longer that insignificant guard.

“Old He, you’re too polite. I’ll definitely go there more often.” Han Muye smiled and cupped his hands in return before returning to the sect with Bai Suzhen and Lin Shen.

At the mountain gate, after making an appointment to copy the jade slip, Bai Suzhen went to Suzhen Restaurant.

She had collected a few treasures from this auction that could be sold in the shop.

She also accepted the pills she promised Han Muye and the gift for the Mu family’s patriarch.

After Bai Suzhen left, Lin Shen, who had been depressed, said, “Brother Han, that senior asked me to give this to you.”

That senior?

Han Muye turned around and took the object from Lin Shen. He was slightly stunned.

Sword Pill?

It was cold, round, and white as bone. There were even traces of sword qi lingering on it. It was the legendary sword treasure used by grand cultivators, the Sword Pill.

The Sword Pill was also a type of sword weapon. However, the refinement method was complicated, and it had to be constantly nurtured and refined.

Although the lethality of the sword pill was powerful, it consumed one’s sword intent and soul energy to activate it. Without being a Core Formation realm cultivation, it would be difficult to control it without condensing sword intent.

“Instructor Lin, this should be the legendary Sword Pill, right? This is a treasure.”

Han Muye looked at Lin Shen.

Every sword pill was at least a high-grade spiritual artifact.

The sword pill in his hand had only dissipated because it had not been nurtured for a long time.

However, this did not affect the value of this item.

This sword pill was worth at least a million spiritual rocks.

Hearing Han Muye’s words, Lin Shen chuckled and said, “That senior said that it was his sword spirit who did evil and almost injured you. I’ll give you this sword pill as an apology.

Also, I think this item is more suitable for you. After all, I have it.”

Lin Shen reached out and held the sword in his hand.

The sword was broken, but he refused to throw it away.

In this sword, there was once the remnant soul of Lin Chongxiao.

Now that he had gathered the sword bone, the sword in his hand did not have much enhancement.

He was reluctant to change his sword.

“When you have time, go to the Cao Family and reforge this sword.” Han Muye put away the sword pill and said in a low voice.

Although the sword pill was precious, it could not compare to affection.

Since Lin Shen had given the sword pill to Han Muye, he would accept it.

“Also, Instructor Lin, your sword bones have just fused. You still have to nourish yourself more.”

Lin Shen’s cultivation level was too low, and he was completely unable to control the jade bones of a great cultivator.

Although he had condensed the sword bones with the Sword Nurturing Technique, the current Lin Shen was like a child holding a heavy hammer. God knew how much combat power he could unleash from the sword bones.

“I understand.” Lin took a deep breath and looked up at the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.

“Brother Han, thank you,” he said in a low voice.

He knew that his opportunities were all thanks to Han Muye.

Without Han Muye bringing him to the cave abode of a great cultivator, how could he have obtained this great cultivator’s jade bones?

Without Han Muye teaching him the Sword Nurturing Technique, he would not have been able to condense the sword bones.

“We’re brothers, why are you thanking me?” Han Muye shook his head. Looking at the words ‘Nine Mystic’ on the shining mountain gate, he felt a lot of emotions.
