Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples-Chapter 556 - 279: Qingzhu and the Heart-Slaughtering Sword—Take Them All! (Part 2)
This implies you’re eager to eat!
Chen Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly severed the supply of Spiritual Power and Divine Soul.
He didn’t want to be drained by a sword.
The Heart Slaughter Sword paused slightly, seemingly a bit "aggrieved."
It proactively emanated a friendly intention, allowing Chen Ye to refine it.
Although Chen Ye found it strange that the sword spirit was so accommodating, he certainly wouldn’t miss the grand opportunity to refine a Third Tier Spiritual Artifact.
He went with the flow, wrapping the Heart Slaughter Sword with his Divine Sense, and began to imprint his Divine Soul’s mark.
The process was unexpectedly smooth, encountering almost no obstacles, and he easily refined the Spiritual Artifact.
Only after refining did he realize that the sword was indeed feeble!
The Spiritual Light on the sword was dim, its inner Spirituality like a candle in the wind.
It was just a hair’s breadth away from dropping in grade, devolving from a Third Tier Spiritual Artifact to a second tier Magical Treasure!
At the same time, the Heart Slaughter Sword conveyed an almost pleading intention, as if it wanted to keep devouring.
"Damn it!"
Chen Ye gritted his teeth.
If the Heart Slaughter Sword degenerated into a Magical Treasure right under his nose, wouldn’t he be at a great loss?
With the Third Tier Spiritual Artifact vanishing before his eyes, who could he complain to?
He had no choice but to endure the pain, releasing part of his Spiritual Power and Divine Soul for it to devour, nourishing it like a hungry chick.
Within moments, the Heart Slaughter Sword absorbed all the power he delivered, like a whale inhaling the sea.
The glow on the sword’s body finally stabilized somewhat, no longer at risk of dissipating at any moment.
However, after a rough calculation, Chen Ye realized that this brief "feeding" consumed nearly three months of his arduous cultivation!
When Chen Ye noticed his realm was a bit unstable, he forcibly cut off the supply.
If he continued to feed it, he feared his realm would regress!
The Small Sword whimpered in his Sea of Consciousness, amiably circling around Saturn.
Soon after, a profound Cultivation Technique was transmitted to his mind, it was none other than the Heart Slaughter Sword Technique!
But at this moment, Chen Ye confirmed the Heart Slaughter Sword wouldn’t drop in grade, so why continue supplying?
He consoled it, "No rush, when my cultivation improves, you’ll benefit from being nurtured within my Divine Soul."
The Heart Slaughter Sword’s glow brightened, understanding not to fish in the dry pond.
The man in front had profound Cultivation Techniques, with a solid foundation, his physique may not be as extraordinary as the black-haired girl, but is considered excellent.
Recognizing him as master would not disgrace its identity.
Immediately, the Heart Slaughter Sword fell completely silent, instinctively absorbing the Spiritual Power and Divine Soul drifting in his Sea of Consciousness, without any more movement.
Chen Ye slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his somewhat aching brow.
Even after refining this sword, his brow continued to ache relentlessly.
According to the Small Sword’s feedback, if he urged the Heart Slaughter Sword, he might even feel the agony of his Divine Soul being torn apart.
Only by sacrificing himself, could he harm the enemy.
It could be said to harm the enemy by a thousand while sacrificing five hundred!
This was precisely why the Heart Slaughter Sword did not choose Zhiwei as master.
If Zhiwei’s physique completely awakened, external objects could never affect her Divine Soul.
Without self-damage, how could she harm the enemy?
"Master, was the refinement smooth?"
Zhiwei inquired with concern; unlike Chen Ye, in Zhiwei’s view, the Heart Slaughter Sword would surely bow before her master!
In her eyes, this was indeed true.
Only Chen Ye knew,
the Heart Slaughter Sword Technique was simply overwhelmed by hunger.
He thought to himself:
But it seems my aptitude has already gained its recognition.
It’s not merely because the Heart Slaughter Sword was too feeble; otherwise, why didn’t it seek out Mao Cheng?
Thinking of the lost cultivation, Chen Ye smiled wryly, "Barely smooth, I guess."
He felt both joyful and pained.
Joyful because he gained a Third Tier Spiritual Artifact and its corresponding Sword Technique for free, greatly boosting his fighting power.
Pained because the cost was too great, three months of arduous cultivation!
His three months of cultivation, unlike ordinary people’s, was fueled by countless Purple Sun Pills, equivalent to two years of cultivation for cultivators of the same realm.
And it seemed that he would have to continue feeding this hungry Heart Slaughter Sword in the future.
Qing Jun, seeing her master was fine, immediately approached, grumbling, "Clearly, it’s the sword that senior sister brought back, why did it go to master? Did master secretly give it benefits?"
Chen Ye flicked her forehead with exasperation:
"What nonsense are you saying? This is the sword spirit’s own choice. Besides, didn’t your senior sister also gain three Gourd Swords and a Cultivation Technique? Her gains aren’t small."
"That’s different!" Qing Jun protested, covering her head, feeling indignant, "A Third Tier Spiritual Artifact! Just hearing it sounds much more formidable than a Top Grade Second Tier!"
"Enough." Chen Ye interrupted her, "Zhiwei, your cultivation is refined, and you’ve received the inheritance, return to your room to stabilize your realm and familiarize yourself with the techniques."
Zhiwei obtained four Cultivation Techniques from the Heart Slaughter Sword.
Among them, the Seven Luminaries Soul Nourishing Technique and the Great Evolution Wind-Thunder Sword Formation, one internal and one external, are perfectly suited for her cultivation.
And the Sacrificial Gourd Technique involves utilizing the Sword Technique of the Gourd Sword.
These three Cultivation Techniques require a great deal of time for cultivation.
"Yes, master."
Zhiwei responded respectfully, glanced at the silver glow faintly visible on her master’s brow, her eyes flickered, and she turned to return to her room.
"What about me? What about me?" Qing Jun quickly asked, clinging to her master’s arm and shaking it, "Master, will you teach me something too?"
"You?"
Chen Ye gave her a glance,
"First master the Xu Family True Seal, then we’ll talk. You’re biting off more than you can chew."
Actually, Qing Jun and Zhiwei could theoretically cultivate the Heart Slaughter Sword Technique.
Though they don’t have the Heart Slaughter Sword, they could find a sword with the Divine Soul type to substitute in the future.
But he wouldn’t dare let this little menace practice the Heart Slaughter Sword Technique; its viciousness is too heavy, emphasizing "only feeling, only mind," with Qing Jun’s current disposition, she might become a demon if she practiced it.
