NOVPUBBackyard.
Gu Qingfeng stood immovable like a boulder.
Suddenly,
the morning sun rose in the east.
Light of dawn sliced through the dim sky.
Gu Qingfeng immediately adjusted his breathing, visualized the Great Sun True Intent, and as he breathed, it seemed a scorching hot power surged into his body. Then it flowed along his meridians and flesh, a faint burning sensation emerged, but it quickly dissipated.
A moment later,
Gu Qingfeng moved his body and then exhaled sharply.
"Whoosh!"
Breathing like thunder,
as if a white light shot through the air.
Following that,
Gu Qingfeng then looked toward his attribute panel.
There, the Green Sun Skills were marked as having reached Beginner.
...
Green Sun Skills (First Level Beginner)
...
"The Green Sun Skills are truly worthy of being the Sect’s Ultimate Skill of the Green Sun Sect, such a unique method of cultivation is indeed profound and extraordinary!"
Gu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze from the attribute panel and, feeling the changes in himself, could not help but express his astonishment.
The Green Sun Skills differed from other Martial Arts; this method emphasized visualizing the Great Sun True Intent and refining the first strand of sun essence from the morning sun, then using it to temper the Qi-blood and physique.
This method of cultivation could cause one’s Qi-blood to contain a pure and robust essence of the Great Sun, adding a certain strength to the Martial Artist from thin air.
This is the reason why
once the Green Sun Skills reached Great Success, they could rival the strength of someone half a step into Marrow Cleansing Realm.
It must be said,
this Martial Art is indeed very powerful.
However,
the difficulty in cultivating the Green Sun Skills is also extremely high.
Firstly, the visualization of the Great Sun True Intent needed to start and draw in the ethereal sun essence into the body, alone is enough to stop ninety-nine percent of Martial Artists.
This point,
is all about enlightenment.
If it were in the past, it would not have been easy for Gu Qingfeng to reach Beginner level.
But after all, he is an expert in the Refining Organ Realm; regardless of how mystical the Green Sun Skills are, it could not change the fact that they are merely a superior Martial Art.
Thus,
Gu Qingfeng was able to reach Beginner level in such a short time.
The Green Sun Skills are divided into Nine Layers.
The First Layer pertains to the Refining Skin Realm, the second to the fifth layers pertain to the Blood Refining Realm, and from the sixth to the ninth layers are the cultivation methods of the Bone Refining Realm.
Now,
Gu Qingfeng belongs to the First Layer Beginner level.
Although this step allows him to initially draw the sun essence into his body, the essence attracted is too weak to bring about any change.
But Gu Qingfeng was not in a hurry.
Cultivation is not a matter of overnight.
As long as he gives himself time, there will eventually be a day when the Green Sun Skills reach Perfection.
——
Three days later.
Shi Kai visited once again.
The other party handed a dark casket to Gu Qingfeng’s hands, saying gravely, "The Sword Casting Sect has lived up to its reputation and forged the Divine Weapon that the Gu Family Master required!"
"Good!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes brightened, and he immediately opened the casket to see a long sword with a black scabbard lying inside.
Immediately,
he grabbed the hilt and drew the sword from its sheath.
"Swish!"
The long blade slid from its scabbard, its cold glow emerging like the reflective surface of autumn water. The blade, though slightly dull in color, conveyed an unstoppable sharpness.
Gu Qingfeng lightly brushed the blade with his palm, feeling its sharpness. Skin that could withstand the attacks of Marrow Cleansing Realm martial artists naturally would not be cut by the blade.
Even so,
Gu Qingfeng could appreciate the extraordinary nature of this sword.
"This sword has been infused with Blood Transformation Stone and can contain a martial artist’s blood force. Gu Family Master, you may try to channel your own blood force into the body of the sword," Shi Kai advised.
Upon hearing this,
Gu Qingfeng tried to stimulate his blood force, which surged like a mighty river, instilling such terrifying power that it shocked Shi Kai who stood by, trembling uncontrollably.
That’s right.
It was trembling.
In Shi Kai’s eyes, Gu Qingfeng now resembled a primordial fierce beast, possessing a magnitude of blood force that was simply unattainable for an ordinary person.
Gu Qingfeng paid no attention to Shi Kai’s astonishment; all his focus was on the long blade in his hand.
The moment the blood force merged into the blade, it vibrated violently, releasing the power concealed within it all at once.
This time,
when Gu Qingfeng dragged the blade across his palm, the skin that could defend against martial artists of the Marrow Cleansing Realm was suddenly torn open.
A moment later,
the damaged skin healed, leaving behind only a faint scar.
"What a fine blade!"
Gu Qingfeng exclaimed loudly, his heart filled with satisfaction towards the sword.
His defensive power was already formidable, and since this blade could injure him, it meant it could also harm other Refining Organ Realm martial artists.
Thus,
to some extent, it also enhanced Gu Qingfeng’s strength.
Originally, 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Gu Qingfeng had merely wanted the Sword Casting Sect to forge a suitable weapon to maximize the power of the Seven Killings Blade Skills.
Unexpectedly,
the Sword Casting Sect gave him a great surprise.
Now, as that fearsome blood force once again settled down, sweat appeared on Shi Kai’s forehead, and pride involuntarily surfaced on his face upon hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words.
"The Sword Casting Sect has always prioritized weapon forging throughout generations. Many so-called divine weapons in the Martial World are actually false and do not count as true divine weapons," he said proudly.
"However, the weapon in Gu Family Master’s hands is different; it is a true divine weapon!"
"A true divine weapon adapts to the strength of its wielder. The more powerful the martial artist holding it, the more formidable the power the divine weapon displays!"
"Regrettably, true divine weapons are difficult to forge successfully. In the history of the Sword Casting Sect, the number of real divine weapons forged can be counted on one hand. That we have succeeded this time is largely thanks to the materials provided by the Gu Family Master, otherwise, the creation of a divine weapon would have been unlikely."
Toward the end,
Shi Kai looked at the long blade, his eyes filled with envy.
A true divine weapon.
Who wouldn’t covet it?
The moment the divine weapon was completed, Shi Kai felt an urge to claim it for himself, but thinking of the existence of the Gu Family, he forcefully suppressed this thought.
A divine weapon is indeed precious, but one must be alive to wield it.
To offend the Gu Family over a mere divine weapon—should the matter be exposed, the entire Sword Casting Sect would be uprooted.
Shi Kai had no doubts about this.
After all, the current Gu Family Master was never known for his mercy, and the blood on his hands was enough to horrify anyone. Even if Shi Kai were given ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare keep the divine weapon for himself.
Conversely,
the successful forging of the divine weapon would surely satisfy the Gu Family, benefiting the Sword Casting Sect without causing any harm.
At this time,
Gu Qingfeng sheathed the blade again and placed it inside its case before turning his gaze towards Shi Kai.
"Master Shi, I am very satisfied with the divine weapon you have forged this time. The original reward of ten thousand taels of silver now seems somewhat insufficient. If you have any needs, feel free to speak, and as long as they are not excessive, I can accommodate them," Gu Qingfeng offered.
With those words,
Shi Kai immediately understood he had made the right bet.
Therefore,
after some thought, he voiced his own request.
