Chapter 47: Sword Pill

  Temujin continued, "Originally, our Longevity Palace's Golden Elixir is the easiest to achieve among all sects, but I and your master do not oppose you taking the Five Elements Dan path. Of course, this is your own idea and choice, and there is also a point in that!"

  Mu Yuan nodded, "Disciple understands, will definitely not disappoint Master and Master's brother's expectations!" His words were loud and clear, ringing like gold and jade.

  Temujin stood up, touched his head, and showed a kind face. "Good boy, your master has such a disciple, and it's not in vain for him to work hard."

  Muyuan suddenly thought of something and stood up abruptly, exclaiming in a startled voice, "Master's words just now about three hundred years ago... Master's lifespan..."

  Six-layered elixir has been formed, but the lifespan is only up to 400 years at most. However, Qingzi's elixir was formed hastily back then and its quality is not high, I'm afraid it's almost reaching its expiration date!

  Temujin let out a long sigh, "Not bad, these years you've also traveled the world, wanting to find the legendary undying divine tree for your master to re-refine the Great Way, or some elixirs of immortality, but all were in vain. Biyuan, your junior brother... Alas, I'm afraid he doesn't have many years left to live!"

  Mu Yuan only felt a blank mind, stunned and speechless. In his heart, his master was still in his prime, far from the legendary deadline, but he didn't expect the reality to be like this. His heart was filled with sorrow, but he also made up his mind: "My master's lifespan is coming to an end, my parents at home are ordinary people, I must find the elixir of longevity to fulfill my filial duty!"

  Temujin seemed to have guessed what was on his mind, patted him on the shoulder, but thought to himself, "If the elixir of immortality is really that easy to find, why would Qinghua Shimei be unsuccessful for many years? Alas!"

  But she didn't say it explicitly, and changed the subject, "Since you want to go down the mountain to collect Ling Xuan's condensed aura, you should have some means of self-defense. Although you've already cultivated the Tide Washing Flow, after all, the world is full of danger and uncertainty. I have a set of sword pellets here that I refined in my free time, take them and cultivate them well, it can be considered as a token of my goodwill as your master!"

  Mu Yuan thought to himself that he had obtained the Longevity Sword, and didn't want to accept it at first. But after some consideration, he thought that it would be better not to use the Longevity Sword lightly. What he had seen before was still okay, but what he would do in the future, he didn't know who he would meet, and if he encountered someone with a discerning eye, who had malicious intentions, he wouldn't be able to cope. So he gladly accepted it, and couldn't help but express his gratitude.

  Bidding farewell to Tiemu, Muyuan returned to the top of Yunfeng Peak. In his heart, he thought it would be good to go and practice some more longevity techniques, but seeing that the sky was already late, he decided to ask Master Tiemu again in the morning. For now, he took out the sword pill given by Tiemu and devoted himself to refining it!

  A set of six sword pellets given by Tiemu, each one perfectly round and translucent with a blue light, very beautiful, called the Six Harmony Cold Wood Sword Pellets. They were made from thousand-year-old yin wood mixed with North Ming cold water and refined with cold iron. The pellets are naturally cold in nature, which is quite suitable for Mu Yuan's current state. It can be inferred that Tiemu, a high-ranking cultivator, had plenty of free time to refine not just one set of sword pellets. He only gave this set to Mu Yuan because it matched perfectly with the two heart techniques he was practicing, the Tide Flow and the Long Life Secret.

  Having experienced the refining of the Longevity Sword, and now being in a state of false elixir, it was just one night's work for Mu Yuan to refine the sword pellets roughly. He casually released them, and six sword pellets transformed into a circle of cyan light that surrounded his entire body. Faintly visible were countless slender branches and tree trunks, with gentle cold water flowing within, and a chill rising, misty like fog. There were also tiny, star-like fragments of refined gold, which set off Mu Yuan's ethereal appearance, making him seem like an immortal among mortals!

  "This is indeed a means of the Taoist school. The Longevity Sword, although it is an unparalleled sharp weapon, has taken the path of the Demon Gate's treasure, and it is indeed different!"

  Mu Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and with a casual wave of his hand, the Six Harmony Cold Wood Sword Orbs suddenly flew out and began to revolve around him. They split and merged, disappeared and reappeared, following Mu Yuan's Long Life True Qi as it wandered among them. In an instant, it was like a spring river bursting its banks, ice peaks shattering, and the Long Life True Qi transformed into threads of sword energy that surged and fluttered about, sharp and piercing, making a loud whooshing sound as they broke through the air. Moreover, because this set of Sword Orbs had an inherently cold and gloomy nature, the water vapor in the surrounding air seemed to instantly freeze into ice crystals, falling down all around, filling the air with a misty white fog, amidst which green light danced and flickered, making it look even more beautiful than the Long Life Sword!

  Mu Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, secretly thinking that he finally had a bright and upright treasure to use against his enemies. He silently sensed the Long Life Sword, seeing it swimming freely in the vast ocean of true energy transformed from the tidal waves in his dantian. The Black Water Gourd was also hanging around his neck, emitting warm and moist true energy. With a single thought, he sank the Black Water Gourd together with the Six Harmony Cold Wood Sword Pellet into his dantian!

  When the elixir field was established, it swelled up immediately. The original Longsheng Sword's spiritual energy was already incredibly dense and vast, and now with the addition of Heishui Hulu and Liuhe Hanmu Jian Wan, both objects sank into the elixir field, and changes emerged instantly!

  The Black Water Gourd immersed in the vast ocean of True Qi transformed from the Tidal Essence, stood like a gourd-shaped mountain peak, with its two ends intersecting and the unrestrained Water Spirit Qi seemingly covering up the Longevity Qi. However, after the Six Harmony Cold Wood Sword Pellet sank into the Dan Tian, it transformed into six gigantic divine trees that pierced the sky and touched the clouds, with branches stretching out horizontally, and wisps of misty vapor emanating from the trees' bodies, dispersing and spreading out, taking root in the vast ocean's waves, defying the raging winds and waves, yet remaining exceptionally stable.

  These six sword orbs occasionally rotate, and a strong aura spreads out. The long-lived sword transforms into a roaming dragon that wraps around it, and the two interact with each other, giving rise to new changes. The Dragon King's dynamic power of thunder and lightning gradually tempers the six giant trees, making them more condensed.

  This set of sword pellets was originally still unformed and needed to be constantly tempered, only then would it condense into shape according to the user's will. Like Mu Yuan's Longevity Sword, which is a fully tempered flying sword, Wu Dejun's Tongling Sword, and Zhou Huasheng's Biyu Sword are all fully formed swords. Until Mu Yuan at least reaches the stage of refining his spirit, after tempering with his heart and spirit, these six sword pellets will also condense into shape and no longer be in this form!

  Two pieces of Fa Bao were submerged in the Dan Tian, and Mu Yuan felt the changes within. He only felt that there were two more powerful spiritual energies spreading throughout his body from the Dan Tian, making his Fa Shen even more tenacious. The true yuan gas vortex condensed inside the acupoints was also slowly absorbing these newly added Fa Li.

  Out of the attic where he lived, Mu Yuan rushed to the Qingguang Temple to see Cang Qingzi. At that time, Qing Hua Zhenren was also there. Mu Yuan explained his intention, but before Cang Qingzi could respond, Qing Hua Zhenren smiled warmly and said, "This matter doesn't require your master's effort. Coincidentally, I will be teaching the law in Yunhuafeng these days, so you can come and listen together then!"

  Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Master's favor, I dare not refuse, but Cloud Top is full of female fellow disciples, it's not very convenient for me to go!"
