Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

In the forest.

As the sword light flashed, the void seemed to intersect, the light flickering uncertainly.

Sometimes bright like in the forest during the day, sometimes as dark as the surrounding night.

[...]

After one round of sword techniques, thirty minutes had already passed.

[Skill]: Taixu Yin Yang Sword (Beginner 5345/10000)

He glanced at the panel and nodded slightly.

"Efficiency has indeed improved quite a bit."

"With my current efficiency, in a few days, I should be able to bring this supreme sword technique from the Shangyang Immortal Sect to the Master level."

After a brief test, he continued to temporarily set aside this sword technique.

Because, in his view, this efficiency was still not high enough.

Given the progress halfway through, it would take several more days to bring this sword technique to Mastery.

Then how much time would it take to reach small success?

Then there was Great Success, Perfection, and even Break Limit with its derived traits.

The further you go, the more experience value is needed.

So in his view, the current efficiency was still not high enough.

These two sword techniques of his could still break through, and then find a third sword technique.

With a slight adjustment of his mood, he resumed practicing swordsmanship, practicing the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword.

Compared to the Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword, the efficiency of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword has already successfully surpassed it.

Soon, he would be heading to the Royal Capital.

To participate in the Martial Arts Examination,

to go to a place in Great Xia where strong people gather like clouds, and Grandmasters are as common as dogs.

Going to such a place, the stronger he is, the more at ease he will feel.

So before that, he needs to improve his strength as much as possible.

Meanwhile, what he learned not long ago from Wang Shouyi about the chaos in the world, along with the fact that refugees have also appeared in Dongling City.

All of this indicates that total chaos in the world is not far off.

...

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (Five times breaking limit 388/6000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Deep Blue) Exorcise Evil (Deep Green) Turn Calamity into Fortune (Light Blue) Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple))

Then, he glanced at the current progress of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword and began to practice the sword with all his might.

Once he entered the state, under the influence of the Demon Suppression Sword Intent, he was free of any distractions and became more focused.

[...]

As time went by, he practiced the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword again and again.

The experience value of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword also surged rapidly.

...

During this period.

Apart from some refugees from Xichuan County appearing at the gates of Dongling City, Dongling County was still so stable, stable without the slightest ripple.

Jiang Ning also spent most of his time on the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword.

Day and night, he practiced the sword in the courtyard.

The movements of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword were not as exaggerated as the Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword, and practicing in the courtyard would not damage the surroundings.

Besides practicing the sword, he would occasionally play with Little Dumpling, and feed Linglong and Old Turtle.

At the same time, he occasionally used his own blood as treasure medicine for Xie Xiaojiu to give to his subordinates.

Once his subordinates have improved their strength enough to handle things independently, he can truly become a hands-off shopkeeper.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

On the morning of the third day.

Intersecting Sword Intent filled the courtyard.

The morning mountain wind blowing from the Dongling Mountain Range froze the moment it reached the courtyard.

In the courtyard.

The sword in Jiang Ning's hand swung, the sword light flickered, filling every space with a deadly aura.

Suddenly.

Countless sword lights converged, ultimately transforming into the long sword in Jiang Ning's hand.

At this moment, the intersecting Sword Qi around him dissipated.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (Five times breaking limit 6000/6000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Deep Blue) Exorcise Evil (Deep Green) Turn Calamity into Fortune (Light Blue) Seven Star Lamp (Light Purple))

Jiang Ning looked at the panel and saw that the progress of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword had surprisingly reached Perfection.

Then he looked at the Source Energy Points section.

[Source Energy]: 9873

In these few days, he had already prepared the Source Energy Points.

He preemptively digested some Red Flame Blood Crystals, used to restore his depleted Qi-Blood, and also increased a certain amount of Source Energy Points, allowing him to fulfill the breakthrough of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword.

"Hope everything goes well!"

He silently spoke to himself, and his thoughts moved accordingly.

[Source Energy]: 4873 (9873→4873)

In just an instant, the Source Energy Points decreased by five thousand points.

He was already familiar with the breakthrough of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword.

...

Not long after.

He opened his eyes and looked at the panel for the first time.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (Six times breaking limit 23/7000) (Traits: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Purple↑)...)

Seeing the panel at that moment, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sword Heart Clarity has upgraded!" he silently spoke to himself, feeling incredibly relieved.

The upgrade of the Sword Heart Clarity trait indicated that his Sword Dao talent has improved once again.

Just like the last time Sword Heart Clarity was upgraded from light blue to deep blue level, his Sword Dao talent took a great leap forward.

The benefits gained during sword practice were considerable, and he became more adept.

Now, this upgrade was even more pronounced, transforming from blue level to purple level.

The leap to this level is bound to bring a more obvious improvement.

Then, he looked at the explanation on the panel.

[Sword Heart Clarity (Light Purple)]: Possessing a clarity of sword heart, unmatched Sword Dao aptitude, like a heart as bright as a mirror free of dust.

"Unmatched?" he murmured to himself.

Then he gripped his sword once more.

In the next moment.

The sword momentum rose, and the sword light surged like a tide.

After finishing another round of sword techniques, he sheathed his sword and stood, with a faint hint of excitement in his eyes.
