  Who says that a Yuan Shen period expert can do everything, even the Xing Jian Dan, if it weren't for his own reminder, he would have ended up with a blown furnace. Thinking of this, Ye Feng no longer picked faults and activated the sword mantra, and the sword pellet instantly burst out with dazzling silver light, establishing a spiritual connection, and this sword pellet was considered to be taken as his own.

  Ye Feng's mind stirred, and the sword bead immediately melted like a transformation, changing from a bullet to a slender silver snake shape, then coiling around his finger into a silver ring. Transforming hundred-refined steel into a gentle ring, this was one of Sword Bead's small specialties; although it was called a bead, in reality it could transform into various shapes.

  Received the sword pill, Ye Feng flipped open the true explanation of the sword symbol. The contents were not difficult to understand. It was just a matter of using the drawn symbols to condense one's true yuan into a sword symbol. When used, it would be struck onto the flying sword, increasing its lethal power and allowing for additional attribute damage. Attribute damage referred to the mutual restraint of the five elements, which often produced unexpected effects during battle.

  However, this sword symbol also has a drawback, it is a one-time consumable item. Once used, regardless of whether there is an achievement or not, the effect immediately disappears and needs to be reattached with a new sword symbol. But there is a technique that requires strength, which can attach multiple sword symbols to the sword at the same time, so that after the effect of one sword symbol disappears, you don't need to recall the flying sword and reattach the sword symbol again.

  Like Ye Feng, a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage can attach three or four sword talismans to their sword. As their cultivation level increases, this number will also increase. By the Golden Dan stage, some powerful cultivators can even attach over a hundred sword talismans. However, most high-level Golden Dan stage cultivators would have already refined their personal treasures and few people would still be using just a single sword.

  In just half a day, Ye Feng had already memorized all the sword symbols in Wu Xing Jian Fu Zhen Jie and could recite them fluently. However, with his current cultivation level, he was still unable to reach the realm of Void Sword Symbolization, so he went to find materials for drawing symbols again and wrote and drew in the warehouse.

  The brush strokes like a dragon and moves like a snake, a stream of true yuan emerges from the tip of the brush, merging with the cinnabar liquid, then being locked into the talisman paper by the character pattern, a sword talisman is thus drawn.

  Two days later, Ye Feng finally let out a sigh of relief. Drawing talismans was indeed a laborious task. Fortunately, his true yuan was deep and he had sufficient golden essence to replenish himself, allowing him to draw the sword talismans almost continuously for two days without stopping. He gained over seventy talismans in those two days. Who knew what level of demonic beast guarded the Nine Fire Dragon Grass? It would be better to make more preparations just in case.

  Jian Wan's Frost descended in front of him, swirling around. Ye Feng used two fingers to produce a sword talisman, which spontaneously combusted without fire, leaving behind a golden symbol that instantly landed on Jian Wan. He picked up a broken copper cauldron from the metal scrap heap and tossed it into the air, holding onto the handle.

  Hurry!

  A silver light shot out from Ye Feng's hand, and with a "ding" sound, the copper cauldron was knocked flying. It seems that this copper cauldron is not bad in quality, indeed worthy of being used by cultivators. Even with Sword Maru, a sharp and superior weapon compared to ordinary mortal weapons, it could only knock it flying. Of course, there's another reason - the Sword Maru given by Zi Xiao Zhenren wasn't of great quality either.

  The copper cauldron hadn't even hit the ground when Ye Feng pinched his hand seal, triggering the sword symbol on the sword pellet. The silver light spun around and shot towards the copper cauldron again. This time, it let out a "ding" sound as it pierced through the cauldron, punching a hole right through it. The copper cauldron clattered to the ground, and the silver light re-coiled itself around his fingers once more.

  "Hmm, this time is not bad," Ye Feng picked up the bronze tripod, compared to the two previous attacks, and added a sharp golden armor-breaking symbol to the sword pill, which was more than twice as sharp. However, after this one-time activation, the sharp golden armor-breaking symbol on the sword pill also lost its effect.

  If you really face the enemy, who will wait for you to re-add the sword symbol on the sword pill at a critical moment? So, how many sword symbols can be added to the sword pill at one time is often the key to victory or defeat. After Ye Feng retrieved the sword pill, he began to add the sword symbols in his hand one by one.

  Twenty-three sword talismans! Zixiao True Person, sitting in the Dan room, suddenly opened his eyes. Although he had been shocked for a long time and was somewhat numb, he couldn't help but exclaim: Abnormal! Ordinary cultivators in the Qi-refining stage can attach seven or eight sword talismans to a flying sword at most, but this little scoundrel has attached twenty-three sword talismans consecutively. Moreover, judging from how he broke the bronze cauldron earlier, the power of his sword talisman seems to be several times stronger than that of ordinary people. I'm eager to see what height this little scoundrel will reach in the future.

  "You little stinker, now that you've learned it, hurry up and go gather herbs for me." The true self of Zixiao appeared in the warehouse.

  "Wow, you scared me! Please don't appear out of nowhere like that again, I have a weak heart." Ye Feng patted his chest, pretending to be frightened.

  "Hmph, tomorrow I won't have time to send you off, if you want to head down the mountain then set off again tomorrow." But despite saying this, Zixiao True Person still reached out and grabbed Ye Feng, not giving him a chance to argue as he flew outwards.

  "True Man, why did you bring me all the way here? You could have just sent me directly to my destination. After all, you can fly around quickly." In the blink of an eye, the two had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ye Feng said discontentedly to Zixiao True Man.

  Zi Xiao Zhenren squeezed out a cold smile on his chubby face, and with fingers like a small stick, he pointed at Ye Feng and said: "Do you want me to take care of that guardian beast as well, and then you can guard it until the Nine Fire Dragon Grass matures, pick it up and settle the account?" You little stinker, don't say my medicine room doesn't have this Nine Fire Dragon Grass, even if I do, you won't be able to avoid this trip. Seeking longevity is not just about fighting against heaven, but also about fighting against people, and everything that blocks the path of longevity. This road is fraught with difficulties, and spending all day sitting in meditation is useless.

  "Thank you for your kind intentions, it's just a small matter, I can handle it myself," Ye Feng said with great righteousness.

  "Consider yourself lucky, that Nine Fire Dragon Grass is in the depths of Longkou Valley not far to the west. You can go there yourself, don't dawdle on the road, or you'll miss the harvest time." Zi Xiaozhenren instructed, and before Ye Feng could say anything else, his figure flashed and disappeared.

  Back to nature, I'm here! Zixiao just left, and Ye Feng took off running towards the west. Although there was no rugged mountain road, with his cultivation at the 9th level of Qi Refining, he didn't feel any delay as he leaped and bounded through the air. This made him think of a movie he had seen before, "Tarzan", and now he was even more powerful than that wild man.

  Green hills and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant, leaves rustling as they jump from one tree to another. A few wild fruits are carelessly discarded, startling a flock of sparrows. At first, I was caught by Zixiao True Person to be a fire boy, without carefully appreciating the scenery here. Compared to the steel and concrete forest and gray sky before, this place is simply a paradise on earth. The tip of my nose picks up the fresh scent of nature, even the smell of some tree leaves is far more comfortable than the exhaust fumes that fill the city.
