Ancient Strengthening Techniques
The ancestor of the Immortal Sword Ripples, the Flower of Life
Qing Shui looked at the time when Huyou was practicing the Tiger Shape. For a beginner, he is above average, and one should not forget that/it Huyou is someone without cultivation. Fortunately, his sturdy and muscular body was also stronger than an ordinary human.
’’Don't ruin all your attacks. Always keep 30% of your power in reserve. ” Qing Shui explained.
He demonstrated the Tiger Form three times, adopted various postures, and explained the core of the Tiger Form with each demonstration.
Towards the end of the training session, Huyou was finally able to get close to something resembling Tiger Form. One should always start with posture and form when cultivating before moving on to the spirit.
After the practice, Qing Shui returned to the blacksmith shop and started training his own forging techniques, he only had one goal in mind now and that was to increase his own level of strength.
Qing Shui had no idea that/it was in the South City region, the fame of his shop had been steadily increasing. Especially the incident of him slaughtering the young Immortal Sword Sect, everyone in the region was talking about it.
Qing Shui had just opened his shop for business for a while and there were already many people inside his shop. Qing Shui was very happy, even if they were not here to buy weapons, they might be here to sell materials like gemstones that he needed. After all the signage outside his shop was very flashy.
” Mister Blacksmith, how much do you pay for this? ’’A teenager put a black metal substance on the table as she asked.
Qing Shui really didn't know much about the different types of metals, he basically didn't know anything about them. However, he found that/it Saintly Hands technique had other applications.
He could use the Holy Hand to understand the interior composition of substances. For example, precious objects usually have ’’ spiritual power in them. The stronger the spiritual power, the more valuable it is. And after combining the Saintly Hands technique with the Heavenly Sight Technique, he could be able to come out with a rough estimate of its value.
Qing Shui smiled as he reached out to touch the black metal. It was a pity that it was not something valuable, but still, the strength of the metal was still much better compared to ordinary metals.
’100 taels silver.’ ’Qing Shui speaking.
The young man was silent for a moment before he replied, ’Oke, that sounds fair. Black Steel usually sells for about that. ’
Looking at the blackish metal, Qing Shui couldn't help but agree that/it was appropriately named. After which, he kept the black steel in his possession and passed a bank note worth 100 taels of silver to the young man.
Everyone could not help but exclaim in admiration when they saw that Qing Shui's purchase price was very good. Other stores would only buy black steel for 80 taels of silver.
’’Do you really buy something?’’ A voice sounded.
The owner of the voice was a smart-looking young man about 30 years old. She has thick eyebrows and almost no facial hair. At this moment, he had a smile on his face, as he looked at Qing Shui.
’’Whatever it says on the nameplate. Don't worry I can pay. For items of exceptional value, I will use other items of equivalent or higher value to exchange them. I will not let the seller suffer a loss. ’
The intelligent young man seemed to nod after hearing Qing Shui's serious words. However, he suddenly stated, ” Sadly, I have none. If I had, I'd trade it for you. ’
’’ Heh, I think you have something really good, so it's all empty talk. Back when you had something back then! ’
Qing Shui smiled, and turned his attention back to the forging materials he had worked on before. Right now, only the serrated sword was left in the store as all the items forged by Huyou had been sold out. Some of the customers in his shop were only here for the purpose of trying the sword. Qing Shui did not mind their request and happily allowed them to do so.

The Immortal Sword Sect!
” Sect leader, are we going to let that brat continue to behave arrogantly? Insulting our Immortal Sword Sect disciples out there openly, and this time, he even killed them in broad daylight. ’’An old man with flushed cheeks, and a flowing white beard was staring at a middle-aged man as he spoke.
The middle-aged man stood up from the purple Taiyi Chair. And as he stood up, an overbearing presence exploded, as sharp as a needle, penetrating into the hearts of others. He was wearing a robe decorated with a star design. His eyes were sharp on the crescent moon and within it, and filled with melancholy. A perpendicular nose that looked like its soft nose had arrogance all alone. He looks very masculine.
’’ Elder Ying, I know you feel unbearable especially considering what happened to your grandson. That boy is nothing to me. However, his backer was Canghai! It's Canghai. Do you know that?”
His tone was filled with helplessness and unwillingness. As the leader of the Immortal Sword Sect, he was a peak-level existence in the entire Southern City. However, the smelly brat out there actually caused their reputation to be ruined and they even lost two old men.
Losing a parent is a small matter. After all, the Immortal Sword Sect need not be a useless elder. However, the Ancestors of the Immortal Sword Sect had repeatedly urged their members not to anger the Canghai people's name.
’’ Cang hi? Was he the one who crippled Elder Feng and Elder Hu back then? ‘
Elder Ying involuntarily shivered when he heard the words ” Earthriver Island ”. After which he replied weakly, ” Could it be that we let the boy do what he wants? Now outside, people had already begun to slander the Immortal Sword Sect, rumors and gossip filling the sky. ’
” We do not need to care about what others say, but we have to tighten our control for matters within the sect. I've known what they did when they came out, if you all still dared to act on your own will, actively seeking him to deal with her, I'm sure, be prepared to bear the consequences of your own actions. ” The middle-aged man left after he spoke.
Elder Ying involuntarily felt his heartbeat speed up after hearing the middle-aged man's words. The arrogant people that maybe the middle-aged man had excluded earlier, cast fear into their hearts.
The middle-aged man with an arrogant aura raised his head, looked at the blue sky and sighed as he continued walking to where he wanted to be. The trail of this person was very interesting to look at, every time before his step landed, the other leg would already be in the air. His movements seemed slow but very fast in reality, his movement technique was extremely mysterious.
Very quickly, he arrived at the entrance of the Zongtang Hall. Everything within the Zongtang hall was painted black or gray, exuding a dull and oppressive atmosphere. Seeming hesitant on the doorway, the middle-aged man urged himself forward as he finally stepped into the hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a series of stairs leading downwards, the middle-aged man followed the stairs as he descended below.
After a while, the middle-aged man found himself in a place where there were statues of all the previous sect leaders of the Immortal Sword Sect. This was the sacrificial chamber of the Immortal Sword Sect.
”Holyener!”
The middle-aged man lightly called out.
After which, there was silence as the middle-aged man stood there quietly. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, an old man slowly crushed down.
This old man had turbid eyes and looked somewhat senile. In his hand was a golden-coloured staff headed dragon, helping him in his footsteps. However, even when he was there, no signs of his existence could be felt. He was white-robed and had a head full of white hair, appearing similar to a great expert who came out of seclusion himself.
’Holyener!’ ’The middle-aged man knelt by the old man's feet.
” Chi`er, what happened? ” The old man's eyes were still closed, no one could see what emotion was in his eyes. But even so, one could feel extremely uncomfortable looking at this old man. Although the old man had a similar appearance compared to Baili Jingwei, the aura he possessed was completely different.
But even though his face was visible, his voice sounded full of kindness.
” Ancestor, Chi`er is useless, I caused the reputation of the entire Sword Immortal Sect to be wretched but I was powerless to do anything, Chi’er begged the Ancestor to punish me. ’
” Build. ’’The old man helped the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man then told his entire story to his Ancestor not daring to leave any details behind, or add any embellishments. Of course he also made Qing Shui even more cruel and cruel.
’For all those involved in this incident, regardless if they are ordinary disciples or parents, limit everything inside Earthriver Island.’ ‘The old man calmly spoke.
The middle-aged man respectfully replied, ’all will be like the ancestor.’
’’ Canghai ah Canghai, I have tolerated you for more than 30 years. Even though you are from the Heavenly Palace, you should know there are some lines that you cannot cross. In addition, You are also .. ’
’’ Chi`er, You can go back first. I'll handle this. ’
After the middle-aged man left, the old man's body flashed as he disappeared from sight.
Qing Shui spent the entire afternoon and forged two jagged swords. This time, the increase in attributes could be comparable to the Bluebronze sword he had made before. Not only that, the first sword is slightly better – +30 for strength, +20 to durability! The second serrated sword shared an identical enhancement to his bluebronze sword but Qing Shui was already very satisfied. He lost himself in his fantasy of – if he could somehow cause an increase in attributes to reach hundreds, or even thousands, especially for speed, how great would that be?
At night, Qing Shui walked into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and was immediately struck by lightning. He could sense something was different but was not sure what the reason was.
The feeling of vitality within his spatial region had greatly increased. This feeling was very clear, and even the field of herbs he planted were pulsating as they pulled important qi in the air.
Suddenly in the distance near the crystal pond, Qing Shui noticed a one meter tall tree with the size of a thumb. Despite its rather small size, there was already a red blood red flower blooming. The size of these flowers was almost the same as the flowers that bloomed on that nameless tree. However, this blood-red flower exuded an overwhelming sense of vitality!
Qing Shui immediately ran towards the stone steele because he knew that/it would always have an update whenever his spatial region received an upgrade. And when he finally arrived in front of the stone steele, he only saw three striking words engraved there.
Life Flower!
