Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 126 Refining

Without hesitation, Zhu Wuyao turned around and went straight to the library.

The old man in the library was the same elder who had been open 24 hours a day as before. He had also come to watch the sect competition. Upon seeing Zhu Wuyao, he immediately smiled and teased him:

"As expected of a young prodigy! Last time he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, but this time he directly surpassed Xiao Qingyu with the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and won the championship of the sect competition."

"Isn't that right, that... Fallen Leaves Invite Autumn!"

"Why did you come to the library instead of celebrating after just leaving the arena?"

Zhu Wuyao, feeling both embarrassed and shameless, readily accepted the title and replied:

"I'm already 'inviting autumn leaves', so I must be worthy of this title, and be quick to learn."

"Elder, do you know which level and category Yue Sugong belongs to?"

The elder chuckled and opened the book of the library, beginning to search for the location of the Joshua Sutra.

Fortunately, this technique wasn't too obscure; he still remembered it somewhat and offered guidance:

"You can find some mid-to-high-level cultivation techniques on the south side of the third floor. First, hand over your contribution points."

Zhu Wuyao took out the Star-Picking Tower disciple token, and a large amount of contribution points were deducted from it.

Having finally won first place and received a reward, she figured she could only exchange it for a high-level cultivation technique. Fortunately, this "Yue Su Gong" was classified as a mid-level technique.

There will still be a few cents left for her.

Zhu Wuyao went up to the corresponding floor and searched according to the categories. He found the cultivation manual in no time.

Open the introduction page—

"When the river is full and overflowing, it is better to dredge than to block. Open up the channels and let them flow back and forth, revealing its shape. Transform plain silk into fine gauze, making the tangible into the intangible, following the gaps and seams."

Wait a minute……

What the hell is this?

Zhu Wuyao realized she had been too hasty; why hadn't she brought a translator?

She recognizes each word individually, so why can't she understand them when they're put together?

Zhu Wuyao, with his profound cultural knowledge, managed to barely understand the introduction to this book on Yue Sugong.

It's probably saying that if you have too much spiritual energy, then cover it on your body like an invisible silk cloth... right?

She recalled the process of fighting with Xiao Qingyu.

There was no sense of any "tangible but intangible" thing formed from overflowing spiritual energy.

He frowned slightly. If there was anything noteworthy during the battle, it was nothing more than the "Daoqing Umbrella".

When joined together, they become rain; when spread out, they become sunshine.

There's nothing particularly special about it, but everyone has to go through a pre-cast animation and a process before casting a spell.

Just like when she unleashed the Cold Transformation, she had to gather and condense her spiritual power, which inevitably reduced the protective aura around her. Only after the sword was unleashed could she circulate her spiritual power normally.

For the final strike, she had to run a long way to draw her sword.

Xiao Qingyu's process of clearing up from rain was quite elaborate, yet it only required the action of opening an umbrella.

Just like a combo move, which Zhu Wuyao would need to press several keys for, Xiao Qingyu turned the whole set of moves into a single shortcut key.

In a real fight, the importance of speed is undeniable.

Are you suggesting that in a life-or-death situation, you suddenly raise your hand and say to the enemy, "Wait a minute, let me prepare for my ultimate move first"?

Zhu Wuyao closed the Yue Su Gong book thoughtfully, propping his chin up as he pondered whether Xiao Qingyu's rapid skill switching speed was related to this Yue Su Gong book.

Someone passing by spotted the sect's grand champion sitting under the bookshelf, seemingly lost in thought.

He quickly turned around and nudged his friend, asking:

"Look, isn't that a fallen leaf inviting autumn?"

Her friend peeked out and was somewhat surprised; indeed, one minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage.

Every successful act has its backstory.

He had barely stepped off the dueling platform when he went into the library.

Maybe they have to work really hard at home all the time.

He nodded and said, "It really is her. Why don't we go over and say hello, and see what cultivation method she chose?"

"That's not a good idea. Everyone's cultivation method is their own private matter. We don't even know her, so it's best not to bother her."

After saying that, she quickly pulled her friend away.

Zhu Wuyao overheard their discussion and felt a rare sense of shame.

She had just finished asking Xiao Qingyu about the cultivation technique configuration when she came to the library.

Come here.

Zhu Wuyao put the Yue Su Gong away and began to browse through other intermediate-level martial arts techniques.

Some of them are quite interesting.

Only after they had seen enough did Zhu Wuyao take Yue Sugong to the elder to unseal the seal.

Return to the courtyard.

Zhu Wuyao had only read a few pages of this book on the art of healing when he felt he had made a good deal.

This technique, originally a method for refining and identifying materials, can be used to refine other objects with spiritual power.

In a sense, the spiritual energy within something that has been refined is connected to one's own energy channels.

Zhu Wuyao suddenly realized.

No wonder Xiao Qingyu risked damaging her meridians to close the Daoqing Umbrella after unleashing that Frost Transformation Slash.

If Daoqing Umbrella were to be struck by sword energy, he too would not escape unscathed.

Zhu Wuyao added multiple layers of defense to the Falling Leaf Sword, not only controlling it with exquisite precision but also deflecting the sword by three points. The chilling coldness that was originally meant to silently cool the enemy was now fully aroused by her.

Therefore, everyone who senses the sword intent can judge its danger.

But even the most diligent defenses can't stop someone from eagerly courting death.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingyu wasn't stubborn.

She drew her blunt sword and examined the unusually simple black blade closely. She had noticed a couple of days ago that the sword wasn't very durable and couldn't compare to the legendary weapons of famous masters.

The importance of the bladeless sword is beyond doubt.

This sword that allowed her to escape fate was a perfect match for the path she was about to take, but no matter how prestigious the title was, it couldn't hide the fact that its material couldn't keep up with her upgrade speed.

Perhaps by the time you reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, this bladeless sword won't be able to withstand the turbulence of combat.

Just when I was worried that the Unsharp Sword was not up to par with my level, I turned around and discovered that it could not only be upgraded, but also refined.

After reviewing Yue Sugong twice, I roughly understood how spiritual energy works.

She rummaged through her storage bag and decided to try something else first.

If the technique is not yet complete and the Wufeng Sword is accidentally destroyed, it would truly be like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

After searching for a while, Zhu Wuyao pulled out a large wooden board.

It's that plaque that reads "Thank you, Wuyu, for saving my sister's life."

The night is deep.

Zhu Wuyao finally managed to release a wisp of spiritual energy outside his body, and it took him a lot of effort to make this tiny bit of spiritual energy into a "tangible but intangible" form.

She carefully guided the wisp of spiritual energy, as delicate as silk, to make it come into contact with the plaque.

It is pure and transparent, like a spring of water, or as light as a transparent butterfly wing, without any weight.

When this wisp of spiritual energy covered the plaque, it shone with a faint spiritual light and instantly dissolved into one.

The spiritual energy gradually permeated every corner of the plaque, the light gradually faded, and the plaque seemed to be somewhat different from before.

Or is it just her imagination?

It’s so simple.

Is the most difficult part simply the process of refining spiritual energy into physical form?

May Wuyao's confidence increase greatly.

She tried to refine a wisp of spiritual power again. This time, she carefully felt the process of the two merging. The spiritual power, like gauze, was like fine sand, flowing into every corner of the plaque.

But this time, Zhu Wuyao frowned.

Something seemed a little off; she didn't feel a connection between the plaque and herself.

Not enough?

A qualitative change requires quantitative change; only when something is refined to a certain degree can it resonate with oneself.
