Duty: Sword Cultivator

"Qi Refiner Proficiency +1..."

Pei Si closed his eyes and instantly regained his composure.

His vision was no longer completely dark; instead, there was a faint light...

Pei Si silently activated the "Secret Gate Guardian and Leak Repair Song".

Meridians, internal organs, qi and blood, dantian...

For a moment, Pei Si focused his inner consciousness.

In the center of the dantian, a tiny firefly was slowly circulating.

Bright but not dazzling, still but not extinguished.

This is the inner vision realm! Also known as the divine inner vision.

Introspection is not about looking with your eyes, but about using your consciousness to reflect on yourself from the inside out.

When the eyes are open, the spirit is outside the body, observing all things in heaven and earth. When the eyes are closed, the spirit returns inside the body, illuminating the five internal organs, the meridians and dantian, and the origin of the soul.

Pei Si continued to circulate the "Mysterious Pass Guardian and Leak Repairing Song," and his vision deepened.

With each breath, the clear, white air rises while the murky, gray air descends.

Yesterday, he fought with demons. Although his external wounds healed instantly thanks to his strong physique as a martial artist, internal injuries entered his body, generating turbid qi that blocked his joints and the gaps between his internal organs.

Pei Si circulated his breathing techniques to clear away the turbid air. With the cleansing of the clear air, he cleansed the turbid air from his body.

Pei Si continued to practice the "Guarding the One and Repairing Leaks" technique.

Deep within the interior, a pure white, sharp-looking blade heart floats and sinks.

Ordinary Qi cultivators, in their inner vision, seek to glimpse the Dao mind.

When the mind is clear and bright, the inner vision is clear and bright. If the mind is chaotic and clouded, the inner vision will also become foggy and dark.

Pei Si possessed a heart forged through countless battles and bloodshed throughout history, a heart of unwavering resolve. He was determined to use his sword to pierce through illusions, vanquish all powerful enemies, and ascend to the highest realm!

The next instant, a sudden change occurred within Pei Si's inner world.

At the heart's core, stood a figure.

Dressed in luxurious robes, his face was indeed blurred, with only a pair of burning, greedy eyes staring intently at Pei Si, causing Pei Si to experience hallucinations.

Beauties, martial arts techniques, dynasties, treasures.

A figure stood in the dantian, the center of the body's energy.

Its face was ferocious, with bared fangs and eyes blazing with crimson fire. A crimson-black aura surrounded it, and in addition to the aura of ferocity, tiny, vengeful spirits also swirled around it.

This demon did not create illusions; it simply surged wildly within the dantian.

A figure stood overhead.

With his hands on his hips, chin held high, and dressed extravagantly, he resembled a victorious rooster, his eyes filled with contempt as he coldly stared at Pei Si.

Beside the knife, a silent shadow lurked, faceless and silent, simply standing still.

Another figure stands in my mind.

The hazy quality gives people a gentle feeling.

Its appearance is constantly changing.

Gentle breeze, bright moon, Xu Zhi, Lu Shouhuai, Lu Shuangshuang, Blind Old Man Lin... in the end, she transformed into a cold and aloof female Taoist priest.

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar female voice echoed in Pei Si's mind.

The next instant, that gentle figure disintegrated.

These five figures are actually the seeds of inner demons.

Greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt!

The so-called third stage of self-cultivation is called enlightenment, which means to see one's true nature and return to one's original state, and to see through the five demons!

By eradicating the roots of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, one can attain perfect enlightenment, achieve a mind as clear as a mirror, a stable Daoist heart, and a clear consciousness.

They are qualified to establish a foundation for immortality!

Pei Si's mind stirred, and the blade trembled slightly.

In an instant, over a hundred sharp blades of energy were unleashed, annihilating the four demons!

In an instant, Pei Si entered the realm of enlightenment.

Pei Si stood up.

Just now, the demon manifested in the form of his master. Suddenly, a female voice rang in his mind. Could it be a hidden trick left by his master?

Pei Si looked towards Mount Qingcheng, thinking it was time to take some time to go back to the mountain.

Regarding the matter of foundation building, one should consult the master to determine which type of immortal foundation he should build.

Pei Si lightly touched his brow; he had already stepped into the realm of enlightenment.

The "Jiazi Dragon-Slaying Technique" taught by my master is now ready for me to practice!

Pei Si narrowed his eyes. His lineage was called the Dragon Slaying Lineage. He wondered if it was related to the Dragon Slaying Technique in the "Jiazi Dragon Slaying Technique".

A powerful sword technique was displayed before Pei Si.

The Jiazi Dragon-Slaying Technique encompasses a wide range of methods, including sword control and flying swords.

Created by the founder of this lineage, in ancient times, during the Great Flood, aquatic creatures roamed freely, slaughtering humankind. The founder, out of compassion, created this sword technique specifically to counter aquatic creatures.

Whether they are water-cultivating humans or water-based demons and evil spirits, they are all subject to the Jiazi Dragon-Slaying Technique.

Pei Si observed that the basic chapter only taught some sword movements. If one wanted to unleash the killing power of this sword technique, one had to build a Water Virtue Immortal Foundation!

"Use water to suppress water?" Pei Si pondered.

If one wants to master the Jiazi Dragon-Slaying Technique, wouldn't it be necessary to build a Water Virtue Immortal Foundation?

Then their lineage of slaying dragons, the Water Virtue Qi Refining Masters are everywhere.

Pei Si tapped the hilt of his sword lightly with his fingers.

The sword bestowed upon him by his master had not yet been named. After hesitating for a moment, Pei Si drew the three-foot-long blade and whispered, "I'll call you Huaihuo."

The sword is named Huai Huo.

Pei Si gripped Huai Huo, sword techniques flashed through his mind, and he instantly entered a meditative state.

When the left and right sides are stacked, speed and comprehension are improved when practicing martial arts and combat techniques.

The so-called eighteen weapons, each with its own techniques, such as swordsmanship, knife skills, and spear skills, are all branches of martial arts and combat methods.

Fifteen minutes later.

Pei Si drew his sword.

"Judge Pei Si, in charge of [Sword Cultivation]."

"Sword skill proficiency +1, proficiency 1/100".

Two lines of small ink-wash characters appeared before Pei Si's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Pei Si was overjoyed. At the same time, the Myriad Trades Compendium in his sea of ​​consciousness displayed small characters, with the words "Sword Cultivator" appearing next to "Qi Refiner".

[Judge: Pei Si]

【Role: Swordsman (None, 1/100)】

[Taoist Arts: None]

[Job Evaluation: Among sword cultivators, killing power should be paramount! There once was a sword immortal who reigned supreme in the north, wielding the Northern Black Horned Demon-Slaying Sword, sweeping away countless demons! Those who cultivate this path should remember: even if towering mountains lie ahead, surrounded by hordes of demons, I will shatter them all with a single sword strike!]

[Sword Cultivator (White)] can obtain the Daoist art [Sword Heart Clarity].

"【Sword Heart Clarity】: Upon mastering swordsmanship, one can instantly comprehend it, increasing the killing power by 70%!"

[Promotion Requirements: Perform sword techniques 100 times.]

Lines of small ink-wash characters disappeared.

Pei Si gasped.

Sword Heart Clear!

In some ways, it's even more terrifying than Dao Xin Cheng Chi.

All sword techniques can be grasped instantly, and the killing power of the sword technique will be increased by 70%!

A purely killing profession.

If he establishes the Water Virtue Immortal Foundation and performs the Jiazi Dragon-Slaying Technique, further enhanced by the three Daoist arts of [Left and Right Overlap], [Martial Courage], and [Sword Heart Clarity], he will be able to achieve great success.

No matter what kind of water demon king it is, I'll slay him with one sword!

It was just past 5 PM.

Let's go!

Before we knew it, two hours had passed.

A figure in a black robe was crouching on the courtyard wall.

Lu Shuangshuang rested her chin on her hand, watching the figure in the courtyard.

"Wow, it turns out that Master Pei is also a sword cultivator."

Lu Shuangshuang recalled the scene of delivering the paper figure today.

At the city guard's garrison, she saw her second uncle, Lu Pinghai. Although he looked the same, Lu Shuangshuang felt that he had aged a lot.

Blame yourself.

Feeling sorrowful, Lu Shuangshuang took out a packet of pastries from her sleeve.

Untying the rope, Lu Shuangshuang picked up a piece of chestnut cake and put it in her mouth.

I can't taste it, but I remember it must have been sweet.

"You shameless Lu Shuangshuang, how dare you steal food!"

In the courtyard, Pei Si sheathed his sword and looked at Lu Shuangshuang on the wall with considerable displeasure.

Do you understand the flavor of Xu Fuzhai's chestnut cake?

"Master Pei, I bought two packs!" Lu Shuangshuang mumbled indistinctly as she magically pulled another pack of pastries from her sleeve.
