Mortal: Fairy Song Yu has issued you a task.

Chapter 99 The Taibai Sword Manual

The moment the thought of receiving it arose, a vast and profound torrent of information surged into Lin Jingchu's sea of ​​consciousness.

He closed his eyes, focused, and quickly combed his hair.

The Taibai Sword Manual.

The essence of this technique lies in drawing upon the metal element of the cultivator's own lung palace, refining it day and night, and ultimately condensing it into a wisp of the purest and most refined "Tai Bai Sword Qi".

The core of this unique skill is the "Taibai Sword Qi," which can transform the formless into something tangible, with unpredictable sharpness.

With this Qi, one can unleash many powerful secret techniques.

For example, in the past sword-testing tournament, Bai Haozhi's fleeting appearance shattered Song Yu's "Taibai Transformation Hand," which had temporarily lost its spiritual power, with a single blow from his flying needle.

The four dazzling light swords that Bai Haozhi mainly wielded that day were part of another matching secret technique called "Flowing Light and Shadow Sword".

This technique is based on the Taibai Sword Qi, which is attached to the flying sword artifact it controls, and differentiates into the light sword shadow formed by the condensation of sword Qi.

Each one can move at will, possessing about 50% of the original magic weapon's power. However, this technique can only be applied to a single magic weapon and cannot simultaneously empower multiple flying swords.

The main weapon and the sword shadow are connected by energy, and can even work together to unleash combined attacks such as "Sword Wheel Strangulation" and "Golden Light Sword Array".

The "Cold Moonlight" supernatural power in Lin Jingchu's "Looking at the Moon Technique" is extremely powerful, but before reaching a high level, its attack range and variability are somewhat lacking.

If it can be executed using the "Flowing Light and Shadow Sword" technique, its agility and attack range will be greatly increased. At that time, you will have another trump card in your hand.

However, cultivating the *Tai Bai Sword Technique* requires a metal spiritual root, while he possesses earth, wood, and water spiritual roots. But…

"System, share Elder Feng's qualifications."

Lin Jingchu took out a pill to enhance his cultivation, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to circulate his magic power and refine the medicinal power according to the method of the "Taibai Sword Manual".

From then on, another lesson was added to our daily practice.

Time knows no bounds in spiritual practice. Seven years have passed, flowing by silently like a stream in a valley.

Inside the quiet chamber of the cave dwelling, Lin Jingchu sat cross-legged, his aura deep and profound. Half a year ago, he had already entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"This 'Taibai Sword Manual' has truly demanding requirements for cultivation aptitude. Even with a constant supply of spiritual pills, I've only managed to reach the third level."

A sense of emotion swept through Lin Jingchu's heart. Then he lightly patted his storage bag, and the Embroidered Spring Blade flashed into his hand.

At the same time, behind him, light and shadow rippled slightly, and three illusory light swords, identical in shape to the Embroidered Spring Blade but entirely composed of condensed golden sword energy, sprang out with a clear and melodious ringing.

Lin Jingchu's thoughts stirred again, and the color of the light blade changed from gold to white, along with the subtle change in the spiritual energy fluctuations it emitted.

This is a secret technique in the "Great Luo Thousand Illusions Technique," which can adjust the external manifestations of spells and the fluctuations of spiritual power.

With his current level of spiritual awareness, unless a Core Formation cultivator deliberately probes him, it would be difficult for them to see through the illusion. This is because he has already begun cultivating the Great Evolution Technique to the third level.

As Lin Jingchu wielded his sword technique, the three light blades crisscrossed the quiet room, which was more than ten feet in diameter, with unpredictable trajectories, and simultaneously unleashed several sharp "Cold Moonlight" blade beams. However, their power was significantly reduced.

Using other types of weapons or magical artifacts to perform this "Flowing Light and Shadow Sword" technique will reduce its power by less than one-tenth.

"It seems we still need to forge a top-tier magic sword."

Lin Jingchu sheathed his longsword in his storage bag, and the illusory image of the sword behind him vanished. At the same time, he opened his mouth and exhaled all the Taibai Sword Qi within his body, and the white-gold sharp wind that shot out sparked countless sparks on the rock wall's barrier.

Lin Jingchu got up and left the quiet room, heading towards the insect chamber where the six-winged frost centipede was located.

As soon as the stone door opened, three beams of dark light, which had been feigning sleep, eagerly shot out and affectionately wrapped around his arms and shoulders.

Now they are as thick as a baby's arm, with dark shells that gleam with a cold metallic sheen, and sharp jaws and feet, making them quite frightening to look at.

Lin Jingchu smiled and gently stroked the carapace on their heads with his fingers. He then fed each Frost Centipede a Snow Condensation Pill before putting them into his spirit beast pouch.

Then, he turned and walked toward the Queen of the Heavenly Crystal Ants' chamber. There, he saw that the original stone chamber had been dug into a pit several dozen feet deep, and at the bottom of the pit stood several crystal towers of translucent purple.

"Xiao Jing!" Lin Jingchu called softly.

A beam of purple light shot out from the top of the tallest crystal pillar in the center and landed in his outstretched palm. It was the Heavenly Crystal Ant Queen, which was already the size of a fist.

At the same time, a low buzzing sound arose, and a "purple cloud" composed of tens of thousands of worker ants the size of rice grains rose from the bottom of the pit and hovered behind the queen ant.

The wisp of soul that was planted has grown strong over the years and completely merged with the queen ant's demon soul, bringing about a mysterious connection that is similar to a clone and also to a bloodline connection.

Lin Jingchu had tried setting up several arrays that could isolate divine sense, but none of them could cut off his connection and control over the ant queen.

Therefore, Lin Jingchu lifted the restrictions and allowed the queen ant to establish an ant colony.

Although the Heavenly Crystal Ants consume very little energy when in a silent state, the resources required for hatching and raising them into adults are considerable, so he only produced this scale of over ten thousand.

After collecting the Queen Crystal Ant and the entire worker ant colony into another spirit beast pouch, Lin Jingchu turned and left the Bamboo Valley Cave, waving his hand to set up a sealing restriction.

Having achieved a stable late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, it's time to head to the Ancient Sword Sect and fulfill the promise made by Senior Fire Dragon years ago.

He took off on his Azure Winged Boat, but instead of flying immediately towards the mountain gate, he turned towards White Phoenix Peak. It had taken him nearly a year to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage and stabilize his realm, and he was starting to miss Song Yu, so he decided to go and say hello first.

Upon reaching the edge of White Phoenix Peak, Lin Jingchu summoned a communication talisman, intending to turn and head towards the bamboo pavilion by the waterfall where he usually waited. Suddenly, he saw the talisman's light bend in the air, heading straight up into the sky.

Suddenly, a magnificent and extraordinary blue eagle with a wingspan of over ten zhang flew out from the clouds, with several people standing on its back.

The elegant and ethereal woman at the head of the group was none other than Peak Master Song. The communication talisman that Lin Jingchu had just sent out was now quietly hovering in her slender white palm.

Lin Jingchu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was taken aback. This was truly... he texted his girlfriend to invite her out on a date, only to have his future mother-in-law steal the show.

Fortunately, Peak Master Song did not check the contents of the message. He simply waved his hand, and the message talisman transformed into a stream of light, flying towards Song Yu, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, behind him.

Lin Jingchu quickly flew closer in his Azure Winged Boat and respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Peak Master Song!"

Peak Master Song looked him up and down, maintaining a calm expression but inwardly slightly surprised: late Foundation Establishment stage! Only a few days later than Yu'er.

She looked on with increasing satisfaction, and a smile appeared on her face: "Jingchu, what brings you here to see Yu'er? We were just about to leave the sect on business."

Lin Jingchu replied truthfully, "Reporting to the Peak Master, I have just finished my seclusion and am about to head to the Ancient Sword Sect. I came here to inform Senior Sister Song."

Song Fengzhu turned to Song Yu and said, "There's no rush in this matter. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to talk."

Song Yu's face flushed red, she nodded, and then flew onto Lin Jingchu's Azure Winged Boat. The flying boat carried the two of them and quickly moved away from the Azure Light Eagle.

On the Azure Wing Boat, Song Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Are you preparing to keep your appointment with Senior Fire Dragon?" She was already used to Lin Jingchu's cultivation speed; perhaps only if he truly achieved Core Formation before her would she be surprised again.

Lin Jingchu nodded and asked in return, "Why is the Peak Master personally leading the team? What important matters does the sect have recently?"

Song Yu explained, "The 'Phoenix Cry Azure Feather' secret technique that I possess is incomplete. My mother and I have been consulting the first peak master's notes. Not long ago, Grandmaster Lü sent a message back to the sect, saying that he had found clues about an ancient site that might be related to it, so our trip is to explore it."

Lin Jingchu was pleased that Song Yu had found a clue to the secret technique's inheritance. Because time was short, they didn't chat much, so as not to keep Peak Master Song waiting. Not long after, he sailed back.

Song Yu leaped back onto the eagle's back. Peak Master Song didn't say much, only giving Lin Jingchu a slight nod.

The exotic azure eagle let out a clear, long cry, its wings suddenly flapping, transforming into a streak of azure light that carried everyone northward at breakneck speed, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Lin Jingchu paused and gazed into the distance for a moment before turning around, steer his Azure Wing Boat, and transform into a streak of azure light, hurtling towards the location of the Ancient Sword Sect.
