Chapter Fifty-Nine: Mo Ruo Tian

  Since Ye Xuan and Fu Long learned about the existence of the mysterious cave, both of them have been working hard day and night to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Kong Daoshi taught Ye Xuan a set of absorption-type spiritual techniques, "Lai Huan Xuan Jue". When he heard this name, Ye Xuan was startled, damn it, even Lai Huan came out.

  When Kong Daoshi finished teaching Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan weakly asked: "Master, do you know Sakyamuni?"

  "Which number?" asked the empty-handed master, raising an eyebrow.

  "What a monk!"

  Kong Dashi shook his head and said: "Oh, is that the bunch of idle bald men who have nothing better to do than promote the idea that everything is empty? What, you still have friends like this?"

  After hearing Master's words, Ye Xuan was confused, but this made Ye Xuan even more curious about this world. There were actually monks here, and if there were monks, then there should be Buddhism too. If there was Buddhism, who was the founder? Of course, Ye Xuan didn't ask these questions, instead he seized the time to start cultivating: Tathagata Mystical Decision.

  When Ye Xuan personally felt the power of this Zhēn Rú Xuán Dé, he realized that this was what a real secret technique looked like. Compared to the Absorption Chapter he had learned when he first started, it was on a completely different level. The Absorption Chapter was like a small straw, while this Zhēn Rú Xuán Dé was like a water pump. This Zhēn Rú Xuán Dé could quickly track down the existence of spiritual energy, and through its cultivation, absorb it into the dantian, entering the Dantian Palace.

  Apart from absorption, the greatest benefit of Xīn Yuán Xuān Jué is that after consuming a large amount of spiritual energy, it can quickly enhance the recovery of the spiritual body. This is very important for a spiritual cultivator to know, because when an artifact refiner is originally forging a heaven-shocking and ghost-wailing treasure, suddenly running out of spiritual energy would be a huge loss.

  However, the only disappointment was that there was too little spiritual energy in the world. The power of the Tathagata's Mysterious Decision did not increase Ye Xuan's spiritual strength much, which made Ye Xuan more and more interested in that mysterious cave.

  Looking back, Fèng Lóng spent half of his time hugging the empty Dharma Vessel given to him by the Empty Great Master, putting the Return to Origin Iron Bent Knife into the Dharma Vessel, melting, shaping, and solidifying it. He repeatedly practiced his forging experience, from initially ugly steel saws to now being able to forge silver bent knives that were almost identical.

  At the same time, Fu Long spent half of his time cultivating Xuan Li, which surprised Ye Xuan was that Fu Long's Xuan Li cultivation had reached the fourth level of Xing Xuan Realm. Fu Long was only four or five years older than Ye Xuan, and although Ye Xuan's meridians were broken, he also had a strength close to the third level of Xing Xuan Realm at that time. If Ye Xuan hadn't received help from Ruo Shi Dan, how could he have cultivated so quickly?

  It's easy to imagine that Fulong's talent is not only in the spiritual realm. Of course, it also has an unknown secret with Ye Xuan, but when Ye Xuan saw Fulong for the first time, he felt a strange aura around him, and although he couldn't be sure, this feeling was very intense.

  Time flies, and before they knew it, the day of their sophomore year had arrived. Ye Xuan and Fu Long were excited, but Kong Daoshi was even more thrilled. After all, he himself was already a third-stage artifact refiner, and cultivating his spiritual power was becoming increasingly difficult. To advance further, one needed an enormous amount of spiritual power, an amount that was hard to imagine.

  If there could be a chance to absorb the rich spiritual energy, it would already be a great fortune that the empty master has been longing for.

  This morning, Kong Dashi arrived at the rear courtyard of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce headquarters, followed by Fu Long and Ye Xuan. In the rear courtyard, there was a magnificent mansion where Mo Ruo Tian, the president of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, resided. Ye Xuan and others followed Kong Dashi as they walked through the rear courtyard for half an hour, until a three-meter-tall sword-shaped sculpture appeared before their eyes. At first glance, Ye Xuan was stunned by this sculpture because its material was actually Zi Yang Iron!

  To know that ordinary weapons, first-class method materials return to Yuan Tie can be called a sharp tool, and this Zi Yang Tie is even more precious than the return of Yuan Tie. Because Zi Yang Tie can already forge second-class method treasures. Just like Dongfang Yan's Soul-Stealing Sword, the material is Zi Yang Tie.

  Now this three-meter-high, more than one foot wide carved sword, the material is actually Zi Yang iron, what a great wealth! And now this carved sword is placed in the courtyard by Mo Ruo Tian, the president of the Four Square Chamber of Commerce.

  On the side, Si Long saw this huge Purple Sun Sword and suddenly exclaimed: "Old Mo is indeed rich, with so much Purple Sun Iron placed at the door to sunbathe. Outside, even a small piece of it could attract many cultivators to fight for it."

  The empty master glanced at them with the corner of his eye and said, "You two kids haven't seen the world. You two wait for me here, I'll go in to see Director Mo!"

  After finishing speaking, Kong Daoshi lightly pulled his white robe and floated towards Mo Ruo Tian's residence.

  "Hey, Ye Xuan, you think Mo Lao Da would put so much Zi Yang iron here without worrying about it being stolen?" Fu Long arrived at the Purple Sun Sword and stroked it with his hand, feeling the faint heat emanating from the Zi Yang iron.

  "What kind of cultivation is Mo Lao Da? Who dares to come and cause trouble for him! Isn't that seeking death?" Ye Xuan said.

  "It's true, Mo Lao Da's profound and unpredictable strength, who in Shao Nan County can be his opponent! This sword is truly majestic, it seems that Mo Lao Da is a master swordsman!" Fu Long said, his face almost stuck to the Ziyang Treasure Sword.

  ……

  On a long table, a dazzling knife rack, on which lies an imposing treasure sword. On the scabbard, there is no elaborate pattern, only a simple "Heaven" character, engraved on it, yet radiant with a dazzling light, a simple word that can make people's imagination run wild, as if in a trance.

  Now, Mo Ruotian is staring at the knife with a pair of infatuated eyes. Anyone who sees the purple Yang sword outside the door will think that Mo Ruotian is a master swordsman, but in fact he is a person who likes to use knives. Only knives make him drunk and fascinated, looking at the knife, he falls into deep memories.

  Decades ago, he was a young man in a sword-wielding sect. One day, he met a girl and the two fell deeply in love. The girl gave him a magnificent treasured sword with a majestic aura, but what he practiced was actually the use of swords.

  Later, he gave up all the mysterious skills of using a sword and started learning to use a knife. However, one day, this girl suddenly fell ill and left, leaving Mo Ruo Tian with only one knife. This knife is the one placed on the knife rack, engraved with the character "Tian", which was personally carved by his beloved girl.

  In this long and arduous cultivation journey, this sword has accompanied Mo Ruo Tian through many a spring and summer, experiencing life and death time and again.
