Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Sect

"Elder Shoumei accepted Chu Feng as a disciple?" Elder Zhuang felt that the news she heard today was more shocking than the last.

Truthfully, she didn’t think highly of Chu Feng at all. Had Han Xiaoying not pleaded so earnestly last time, she would never have gone to the Evil Spirit Valley to help Chu Feng.

At this moment, to hear that the youth, who seemed as worthless as trash, had actually been taken in by Elder Shoumei as a disciple.

Elder Zhuang, after her initial shock, couldn’t help but speculate that Chu Feng must possess extraordinary qualities. Otherwise, with the notoriously stringent standards of Elder Shoumei in accepting disciples, she would never take in a youth who didn’t even possess sword meridians.

"Now that Xiao Ying’s issue with evil Qi has been resolved, this elder can also be at ease. After she leaves her seclusion, tell her to come find me."

"This elder’s Seven Killings Sword Skill has finally found a suitable successor! I believe that once she masters it, she will certainly shine brightly in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect!"

After finishing her statement, Elder Zhuang left with her people, flying away on their swords.

If it weren’t for Han Xiaoying’s exceptional potential, Elder Zhuang wouldn’t have condescended to come and check in person. After all, Han Xiaoying is currently just one of her registered disciples.

She plans to pass on the Seven Killings Sword Skill to Han Xiaoying, which also indicates that she is preparing to make Han Xiaoying her Cloth Bowl Disciple.

Elder Zhuang’s Seven Killings Sword Skill is extremely famous.

Known for its unrivaled combat power, second only to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s supreme technique, the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill. Even in terms of lethality alone, it is two points stronger than the Sect’s Ten Thousand Sword Technique.

However, the Seven Killings Sword Skill also has a weakness; it includes no defensive moves.

It focuses solely on offense as defense, aggressively annihilating opponents.

Each move is sharp, brutal, and ferocious, overwhelming the enemy. It requires the practitioner to possess Seven-star Sword Veins in order to cultivate it.

...

After Chu Feng returned to his residence, he spent every day devotedly cultivating the Glazed Sword Technique and the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.

Even though his soul was that of an ancient Alchemy Venerate who had lived for thousands of years, understanding swordsmanship still required a solid foundation, advancing step by step. There were no shortcuts.

At best, when comprehending the sword techniques, he could grasp them faster than others and make fewer mistakes.

Mastering swordsmanship was extremely painstaking.

Firstly, one needed to mentally derive the moves, and only after a move was fully developed in the mind, would one take up the sword for practical practice.

There would inevitably be a disconnect between theory and practice.

Only through repeated practice, could one spot mistakes and discover deficiencies. This was precisely the role of a Sword Slave.

To be able to practice swordsmanship daily with Li Shishi, a proud and beautiful woman, using her to test moves, was also quite a pleasure.

About half a month passed, and the reward Chu Feng had long awaited finally arrived.

Moreover, Chu Feng also received in full the monthly wages that had been punished from Mu Kun and the others.

For saving Pu Fazheng, the Sect rewarded him with 10,000 Merit Points. It was likely due to him saving the Sect Master’s son, coupled with Pu Fazheng and Elder Shoumei pulling strings for him in the background, that he was given such a hefty reward.

It is known that according to past cases in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, saving a True Disciple would at most reward 5,000 Merit Points.

Chu Feng’s reward was double that amount.

After receiving the reward, Chu Feng felt overjoyed. The Sword Control Technique secret book he had his eye on in the third level of the Sword Pavilion, if he recalled correctly, was also 10,000 Merit Points.

After much deliberation, Chu Feng decided not to exchange for the Sword Control Technique secret book for the time being.

Because the Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill secret book he obtained not long ago had yet to be completely assimilated.

Asura Swordsmanship was tempting, but Chu Feng had more important things to focus on. That was to wildly expand the sword meridians within his body.

Otherwise, his cultivation would remain stuck at the Tenth level of the Beginner Level Sword Master.

With these 10,000 Merit Points in hand, he went directly to the Sect’s Alchemy Field. Upon entering the Pharmacy, he didn’t say a word and boldly exchanged two Ten-thousand-year-old Great Luo Sword Grasses with the points.

Then, Chu Feng used the money compensated by Mu Kun and the others to buy the necessary medicinal ingredients for manufacturing Fake Meridian Pills, as well as the materials needed for concocting supportive elixirs.

For example, the Solid Vein Elixir, which is absolutely pivotal.

After all was done, Chu Feng had very little silver left. He didn’t feel heartache at all, only lamenting that he had too little money.

Otherwise, he could have synthesized eight Fake Meridian Pills in one go, achieving the result in a single step.

Directly creating eight new Fake Sword Veins inside his body.

You can’t become fat with just one bite. Chu Feng wasn’t greedy; he decided to first create these two Fake Sword Veins.

...

Half a month later, Chu Feng lay in his dormitory, appearing utterly exhausted. Master Li Shishi tenderly took care of him by his side.

Creating new Fake Sword Veins inside the body was extremely dangerous.

With every new Fake Sword Vein he created, Chu Feng felt as if he had circled around Ghost Gate Pass countless times.

Fortunately, the lucky have their own heavenly protection. He successfully braved through all the hurdles.

At this moment, he had three Fake Sword Veins within his body. All the risks taken and efforts made were worthwhile.

This also meant that he could now cultivate up to at least the Advanced Sword Master Realm.

In the days that followed, Chu Feng not only went to the Fiery Flame Cave to practice his Sword Qi, but he also spent a portion of his time in the Alchemy Field concocting elixirs. He then sold them to other sect disciples to make money.

About half a month later, Chu Feng realized that dreams were bountiful, but reality was cruel.

Making money within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect by selling elixirs, with the hope of collecting the remaining six Ten-thousand-year-old Daluo Sword Grasses, proved to be nearly impossible.

It would take at least seventy to eighty years to accomplish this.

This was because the purchasing power of the sect disciples was limited. Some special elixirs Chu Feng did not dare to concoct, wary of exposing his identity as the Eternal Life Pill Master.

So, making a large sum of money was nearly impossible.

Left with no choice, he had to change his approach, deciding to earn merit from the sect to exchange for the needed Daluo Sword Grasses.

"Junior Brother Chu, Elder Shoumei sent me to call you!" An Advanced Level Disciple hurried over and said to Chu Feng, who was closing up his stall.

His attitude was very polite, as Chu Feng had made a name for himself in the Alchemy Field by selling elixirs for the past several days.

Many people who bought his elixirs were giving him thumbs up.

It was not only a bit cheaper than market price, but the effects were also exceedingly good. They were even better than the high-quality elixirs sold at the sect.

Hence, Chu Feng’s elixir business was thriving.

There were even some sect disciples who began seeking him out proactively to concoct the elixirs they needed.

Chu Feng packed up his stall and quickly arrived at Elder Shoumei’s Alchemy Room.

Since Elder Shoumei was in charge and managed the entire Alchemy Field, he spent most of his time in his exclusive high-level Alchemy Room delving into the Alchemy Dao.

The door was not closed, so Chu Feng walked straight in.

He was surprised to find several unfamiliar faces in the Alchemy Room.

Three men and one woman, each of different statuses and ages.

"Master, were you looking for me?" Chu Feng respectfully asked Elder Shoumei with a salute.

The three men and woman all looked at him curiously, their eyes friendly and their faces sporting amiable smiles.

"You’ve been my disciple for more than a month now. It’s rare that your four senior brothers and sister are all available at the same time, so I’ve called them over for you all to get acquainted," Elder Shoumei said kindly.
