Chapter 250: Chapter 217: Refining the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment

Chu Huaixu, dressed in a black robe, saw a sword above Mirror Lake.

A completely pitch-black sword.

It seemed somewhat like the materialization of the Heart Sword within the Sea of Consciousness.

The ink-black long sword bore no excessive engravings.

Ancient, simple, grand, yet also giving a sense of sharpness.

“In ’Borrowed Sword’, have I trained myself into… a sword?” thought Chu Huaixu.

“Moreover, can my sword borrow others’… swords?”

He felt something was off but couldn’t quite put a finger on it.

In the mirror, as he began to gaze at himself, that strand of power truly emerged within Chu Huaixu’s body.

It was… the Power of Origin!

Chu Huaixu saw a chaotic yet extremely pure light arising on the black sword in the mirror, wandering along the sword’s body.

And within his body, there also appeared a chaotic and mysterious power.

It was merely a wisp, beginning to run rampant throughout his body.

It traversed through all his limbs and bones, passing through every place capable of being a Shell Spirit.

Then, it entered the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection.

However, it didn’t stay here for long.

It seemed this wasn’t its desired resting place.

Finally, it moved towards the Sea of Consciousness.

Upon entering the Sea of Consciousness, the little black sword gently trembled, seemingly guiding this power.

Subsequently, the wisp of chaotic Power of Origin began to swirl persistently around the Heart Sword.

“Looks like it added some special effects?” thought Chu Huaixu.

A system notification began to ring in his ears.

“[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve successfully refined the Power of Origin!]”

According to Xiang Yan and others, the Power of Origin’s level is too high, and Chu Huaixu, being a Low Tier Cultivator, currently cannot wield its power.

To thoroughly integrate it, wield it as though it were part of himself, he would likely need to ascend to the Realm of the Great Cultivator.

According to Jiang Zhi, activating this wisp of Power of Origin during combat would lead to a qualitative transformation in overall combat power.

It’s equivalent to instantly elevating the level of all your internal powers.

Including Spiritual Power, Divine Sense, etc.

But currently, Chu Huaixu is too weak; they advised him not to use this power, as it might backfire and harm him.

“But it doesn’t matter, it has another characteristic, which is accelerating cultivation speed.”

“It seems to be independent of various Special Attribute Points.”

Chu Huaixu looked at his system interface.

Previously, when he leveled up his Character Level, the Experience Points spent were roughly discounted by twenty percent.

Now, he checked his Skill Bar and immediately fell into ecstasy!

“Even leveling [Technique]gets a twenty percent discount!”

To him, it indirectly boosted [Spiritual Embryo Attribute] and [comprehension]!

“In the long run, to refine the Power of Origin in the First Realm is hitting the jackpot!”

Going forward, whether in level-ups or skill learning, a twenty percent discount can save a huge amount of Experience Points.

However, Chu Huaixu quickly got stunned.

“Wait! Why didn’t this thing change?”

The Celestial Level Supreme Technique [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root] still requires 1,000,000 Experience Points, with only a slight chance of success.

“A steadfast million, regardless of anything.”

“And it’s only a gamble.”

Chu Huaixu isn’t like Li Chunsong, a gambler, who would risk such a hefty sum of Experience Points on a low probability event this early.

In ’Borrowed Sword’, so many players didn’t believe it, yet none of them succeeded in gamble-winning it, showing how absurdly low the chances are!

Obviously, this is a technique for much later stages.

Moreover, [Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root], hailed as the world’s top technique, isn’t so easy to learn!

He’s just puzzled: “Even the Power of Origin can’t reduce its Experience Points?”

Planting a seed of doubt in Chu Huaixu’s heart.

…

…

Within the Training Room, Chu Huaixu slowly opened his eyes.

He didn’t rush out; instead, he first adapted to his greatly enhanced physical body and surging Spiritual Power.

Jumping straight to Second Realm Seventh Heaven, his overall strength leaped forward significantly.

If he had such cultivation at the Evil Cultivation Altar, he would have been chasing and slashing that scar-faced evil cultivator, and after killing, he could use the Heart Sword to annihilate his Primordial Spirit!

“All considered, for me now, boosting my realm has the best cost-effectiveness.” he thought.

No need to hold back on levels for now; Experience Points are definitely best used for leveling up.

“In fact, besides Character Level, I’ve caught up with my big account from before the crossing in all other aspects!” thought Chu Huaixu.

The Special Attribute Points go without saying, and the Character Panel looks extremely impressive.

With multiple Profound Level Technique at Great Perfection in the Skills department, even the Earth Level Technique[Six Out of Seven]has reached Minor Success.

Not to mention he now possesses Sword Intent and Sword Heart!

“If the Experience Points are plentiful, leveling up the Sword Intent might be possible next.”

His Sword Heart Clarity belongs to Heart Sword’s Spiritual Embryo Divine Techniques.

He’s always suspected that after Sword Intent reaches Great Perfection, he could attempt to condense another Sword Heart!

After taking a long exhale, Chu Huaixu glanced at the time displayed on the character panel.

“It’s already the year 1991 according to the Xuan Calendar.” He couldn’t help but sigh.

This time in closed-door training, he spent a full fifty days in one go! It even spanned the New Year.

However, he had little concept of time, only feeling that he had stayed in the “Heart Lake” for about half an hour.

Just fifty days, and Chu Huaixu was very curious if anything had happened outside.

“How’s Big Ice Cube doing recently?”

“And Xiaoxu too.”

This made him feel that the cultivators on the Kunlun Cave Heaven side, every time they finish closed-door training, might have a sense of how everything changes with time.

After all, their closed-door training takes years as the basic unit.

By comparison, the cultivation system on the Profound Yellow Realm side is indeed faster.

Although their lifespan is longer, they also spend more time on cultivation, so the ratio is actually similar.

“If you treat cultivation as making money on Earth, then in the Profound Yellow Realm you’d quickly earn your first pot of gold, while in Kunlun Cave Heaven, you’d toil for decades.”

“A Great Cultivator and Golden Core Stage cultivator are actually considered powerful individuals, their ratio might be even lower than those achieving financial freedom on Earth.”

“On one hand, if you are capable, you can achieve financial freedom with hard work for ten or twenty years, but life is barely a century long.”

“On the other hand, even if you are capable, you’d have to toil for hundreds or even a thousand years to achieve financial freedom, but you’d also live for millennia.”

“If you could really choose, everyone might make a different choice.”

At this thought, he suddenly remembered that within his “Dao Generating One,” there’s still an Evil Pill, and inside the Evil Pill is the “Four Symbols Spirit Root”!

Chu Huaixu immediately sent his divine sense into the black bead.

Unexpectedly, the efficiency of “Dao Generating One” was much slower than he was, the cauldron inside was still refining that wisp of power of origin.

It’s just that, earlier it seemed to be… working with both hands?

Because inside the medicine cauldron, all the remaining Evil Qi had disappeared.

Instead, another Evil Pill appeared.

Two Evil Pills were placed together, one was semi-transparent, completely empty inside. The other had multicolored light points floating, forming the Four Symbols Spirit Root.

“Logically speaking, for that body to be possessed by Ye Kongxuan, this Four Symbols Spirit Root shouldn’t be bad, right?”

“Compared to a Spiritual Embryo, it should at least be an Upper Grade Spiritual Embryo.” Chu Huaixu thought.

He felt that this thing was still of great research value.

Moreover, who knows when it might be useful.

Chu Huaixu glanced at the medicine cauldron again, then withdrew his divine sense from the divine mysterious space inside the black bead.

He estimated that “Dao Generating One” would need another ten days or half a month to refine.

“But, since it can refine an Evil Pill while refining the origin fragment, does that mean it can also refine spirit pills?”

“I’ve now advanced to the Second Realm, and my development of the lifebound magical treasure has improved again.”

“I should already be able to refine more valuable and useful Super Grade Spirit Pills, right?”

At this thought, he was a bit excited.

“When the time comes, I’ll go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some pill formulas for Super Grade Spirit Pills.” He thought.

Then, there was only one last thing left to do.

——Open the box!

The Celestial Level Treasure Chest was quietly lying in Chu Huaixu’s game “backpack” at this moment.

He was very curious about what he could draw from the Celestial Level Treasure Chest.

What made Chu Huaixu a bit speechless was that the system didn’t show what items were actually in the prize pool.

“The Celestial Level Treasure Chest is the highest specification among treasure chest rewards.”

“I’m quite curious about what’s in the prize pool.”

But on second thought, blind drawing is okay as well.

Otherwise, it’s easy to become anxious about gains and losses.

After all, there would definitely be items he wants the most and those he doesn’t want as much in the prize pool.

Something that should be joyful, better not let emotions get affected then.

With a thought, Chu Huaixu began to open the treasure chest.

A panel appeared before his eyes, containing a large golden treasure chest.

Once the chest opened, multicolored clouds emanated from inside.

Anyway, it’s temporarily unknown what’s inside, might as well pull out all the special effects first.

The multicolored clouds became increasingly brilliant and glaring.

Next, he couldn’t really see anything clearly.

Once Chu Huaixu’s vision recovered, there was something floating inside the Celestial Level Treasure Chest.

After he glanced at it, his eyes couldn’t help but narrow.

Chu Huaixu’s breathing also became slightly more rapid, and his heart began to grow with endless excitement.

How could he forget this, how could he forget this thing!

At this moment, he truly realized the preciousness and terror of the “Dao Scripture”!

Previously, he thought the greatest feature of “Dao Scripture” was its surging spiritual power.

Adding up the spiritual power from the Shell Spirit and Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection was much more than other Celestial Level Techniques.

Secondly, there was the heaven-defying self-healing ability.

However, were the benefits of inner and outer cultivation really limited to just this?

No! No!

At this very moment, placed inside the Celestial Level Treasure Chest was:

——[Body Refining Divine Techniques]!
