CHAPTER 14: Qi Refinement at the Cliff (Major Cultivation)
Liu Yu took out the spoils, a red dagger and an azure broad sword, from his storage bag.
Under the brilliance of the Golden Dragon Sword, the red dagger had lost much of its spirit, its blade covered in numerous imprints, rendering it unusable.
On the other hand, the azure broad sword was intact; as long as he refined it with magical power and erased the previous owner's spiritual consciousness imprint, it could basically be used.
“Giant Wood Sword”
Liu Yu casually gave it a name and placed it back into his storage bag.
As for the few pieces of women's clothing, they seemed to be intimately worn, still carrying a faint fragrance, a unique scent that belonged to women.
“……”
Liu Yu felt somewhat awkward.
Heaven knows, in this life, he was still a virgin!
After putting the clothes together, he flicked his fingers, and a fireball turned these troubling items to ashes.
Regarding the storage bag of the scarred face cultivator, Liu Yu did not plan to carry it with him and instead placed it in a hidden compartment of his cave dwelling, intending to deal with it later when he had time.
A thrilling duel of magic, combined with the exhaustion from a long journey, had drained him greatly.
After relaxing, Liu Yu felt exhausted both mentally and physically.
He took out a token to activate the cave dwelling's restrictions, gathered some clear water with magical power, quickly washed his body, and then took off his robes, falling into a deep sleep on the stone bed.
……
After sleeping for six consecutive hours, Liu Yu woke up feeling refreshed at the hour of the tiger on the next day.
“First, let's refine the magical artifact.”
Thinking this, he took out the Giant Wood Sword from his storage bag and formed hand seals to begin the process of removing the spiritual consciousness imprint from the magical artifact.
Since the previous owner of the magical artifact had fallen, the spiritual consciousness imprint was no longer stable, thus it was easily erased.
In less than a quarter of an hour, this magical artifact was preliminarily refined.
At this point, it could already display seventy to eighty percent of its power; the subsequent process would involve a long period of adjustment, so there was no rush.
He put the Giant Wood Sword back in his storage bag, planning to use this magical artifact for daily purposes.
The Golden Dragon Sword was a high-grade magical artifact, and for a mid-stage qi refinement cultivator to possess a high-grade magical artifact was quite conspicuous; it was rare even within the entire outer sect.
The Giant Wood Sword was just right as an everyday magical artifact, allowing others not to underestimate him while not making him too ostentatious.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Liu Yu gathered his energy and got up from the cave dwelling.
At this time, the sky was still dim, with a light mist surrounding the spiritual mountain.
The mountain was quiet, seemingly with even the birds and beasts not yet awake.
When Liu Yu arrived at a cliff, he found a dozen outer sect disciples already sitting in meditation and refining qi.
“In this world, there has never been a lack of diligent people!”
Liu Yu glanced around and secretly marveled.
He then walked over to a few familiar fellow disciples, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes.
He operated the cultivation technique “Wood Spirit Decision,” performing a great circulation to slowly refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
At dawn, before the sun had risen, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was relatively gentle during this time, making it easier to refine compared to usual.
Moreover, there were rumors that the first rays of the rising sun, imbued with purple aura, greatly benefitted future cultivation.
However, no cultivator had ever confirmed this claim.
It was unknown who started it, but increasingly more disciples of Greenwood Peak chose to meditate and refine qi at the cliff at dawn, eventually becoming a “spectacle” of Greenwood Peak.
