Chapter 217 The way forward
The sword energy filled with destructive sword intent was actually fused with flesh and blood as the longevity martial arts technique was put into practice.

After confirming it again and again, the Sword Saint indeed sensed that the sword energy in his body, which was filled with destructive sword intent, was being fused with his flesh and blood.

Even though the fusion is very small, it is definitely fusion.

At this moment, his heart was filled with horror.

With flesh and blood, integrate the meaning of destruction!

This skill is really too powerful.

As the substance slowly merged, the medicine that had just been taken was also being consumed rapidly.

In just a cup of tea, the medicinal power of the medicine was completely consumed.

The fusion of flesh and blood with the intention of destruction will inevitably cause great damage to the body.

Most of the potency of the medicine was used to repair the damage.

The Sword Master opened his eyes and looked at the Taoist Priest Changsheng in front of him with extremely complicated eyes, which contained admiration but more of shock.

"What a powerful technique!"

"Master, you are so talented!"

"Oh?"

Even though Zhang Chu had spiritual consciousness, he did not develop the habit of peeping. Therefore, when he looked at the Sword Saint, he was a little confused.

"When I was practicing the technique,"

The Sword Saint seemed to have seen through Zhang Chu's confusion, "I discovered that my body is refining my sword energy, and even integrating the destructive power in the sword energy into my body!"

"Really?"

Zhang Chu stood up immediately, his face full of surprise.

This path is actually very consistent with the path Zhang Chu had in mind.

The so-called martial art of immortality is actually to use all energy to strengthen one's own body and promote the continuous evolution of the body, so as to achieve the goal of immortality.

As for the strength and indestructible body brought by practicing the longevity martial arts, they are just by-products.

When one has cultivated to a certain level, merely strengthening Qi and blood is no longer enough to push one's martial arts to a higher level.

Then we need to find another way.

And refining the artistic conception into the body is the path that Zhang Chu envisioned.

Artistic conception is the basis for comprehending the laws. What we are refining now is the artistic conception. When our body becomes stronger, it may not be impossible to refine the laws.

Using one's own body to refine the laws and enter the body, even if it is not a great way to the sky, it is still an extremely powerful existence.

Of course, everything at the moment is just a concept. As to whether it can be realized, it depends on whether Zhang Chu can deduce the subsequent methods.

After all, the power of the law is more terrifying than the artistic conception, and it is unknown whether the body can withstand the power of the law.

Just for this reason, Zhang Chu felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"Of course it's true!"

Looking at Zhang Chu's flashing eyes, the Sword Saint gave a definite answer, "However, the process is extremely dangerous."

"If you are not careful enough, you will end up dead!"

"After all, the body is still too weak!"

“It’s really hard to contain the artistic conception!”

At this point, the Sword Saint was somewhat proud. "The fact that I was able to accommodate some sword power in my divine body so smoothly is not because my body is so strong."

"Rather, my body is already very familiar with my sword intent, and with the secret medicine you gave me, I can quickly repair the damage done when my body was fused."

"Otherwise, it would be basically impossible for me to integrate the sword intent!"

"Unless I can cultivate the longevity martial arts to the point of perfection, there will be a slight possibility!"

After hearing this, Zhang Chu also nodded.

The Changsheng Martial Arts combines the essence of the two martial arts worlds. When practiced to the point of perfection and reaching the level of Vajra Indestructibility, that is all natural.

Since the physical body is indestructible, it is natural that there is the possibility of integrating various artistic conceptions.

Even though the possibility is very small, the example of the Sword Saint is a great encouragement to Zhang Chu.

At the very least, Zhang Chu did not make a wrong choice on the path to longevity and martial arts.

As for the small possibility of integration?

This is because, after practicing Changsheng Martial Arts 2.0 to perfection, the indestructible body is still too weak.

As long as the body can become stronger, the possibility of integrating artistic conception will definitely increase.

Seeing the destructive intent on the Sword Master becoming stronger and stronger, and his vitality also increasing a little, Zhang Chu hesitated for a moment.

"Brother Jian, why don't you not fuse the sword intent first?"

"It is better to strengthen your Qi and blood first. Only when your body is strong enough can you continue to move forward!"

"This"

The Sword Master recalled the scene when he was practicing the Longevity Martial Arts just now, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, "I will try my best!"

It’s not that he can’t do it, but it’s extremely difficult!

It is really that the Longevity Martial Arts is too overbearing. Any energy other than flesh and blood must be refined by the Longevity Martial Arts to strengthen the body.

After refining the energy, one will naturally carry the characteristics of that energy.

It was as if he was refining sword energy that contained the sword intent of destruction. After refining it, the intent of destruction was inherently present in his flesh and blood.

Fortunately, he had a very fine control over the sword intent, otherwise, it would be very difficult to prevent the sword intent from being refined when practicing the longevity martial arts.

"Brother Jian!"

Looking at the Sword Master in front of him, Zhang Chu reached out and wiped the table between the two of them, and a row of shining test tubes appeared there, "I'm not unhappy that you've improved your strength!"

"But, there are too few secret medicines!"

"These ten doses of medicine are the last of what I have in stock!"

"Thank you so much, Brother Dao!"

Seeing Zhang Chu take out another ten secret medicines, the Sword Saint immediately changed his title.

"Brother Jian,"

Zhang Chu didn't care, "Just continue practicing!"

"At the very least, if you refine all of these ten reagents, you can live a dozen more years!"

"After that, think of another way!"

"Thank you so much, Brother Dao!"

The Sword Master did not refuse and directly picked up a potion. After taking it, he continued to practice the martial arts of immortality.

This time it might be that the Sword Saint really did not refine the sword intent of destruction. Therefore, Zhang Chu, who was sitting next to the Sword Saint, could feel very clearly that the Sword Saint's vitality was rising rapidly.

If it were said that when the Sword Master had some insights into Sword Twenty-Three, he could only live another year.

After refining two potions, the Sword Master could now live at least one or two more years.

If you refine the remaining nine potions, you can live ten more years. That's no joke.

The most important thing is that after the Sword Saint saw a brand new sword path that could match his own sword path, even if he had refined all ten potions in front of him, he would still find a way to collect all kinds of medicinal materials to replenish his qi and blood and strengthen his body.

No matter what, he, the Sword Saint, is the backbone of Wushuang City, and the resources he mobilizes are naturally terrifying.

Perhaps, with the resources mobilized by the Sword Saint and his own realm, it will not take three to five years for him to cultivate the 2.0 version of the Longevity Martial Arts to the realm of perfection.

Thinking about this, Zhang Chu felt a little excited. Wouldn't the world of Fengyun be more interesting if there was a sword saint who was even more powerful and lived longer?
A few days later. "Brother Jian,"

Zhang Chu and the Sword Saint stood outside the Sword Pavilion, "I'll take my leave now!"

"Sorry for not sending you far!"

The Sword Master had no intention of keeping anyone here, "I am also planning to return to Wushuang City!"

"Brother Dao, if you have time, you can come to Wushuang City to find me!"

He knew very well that Zhang Chu came out to travel in order to collect all kinds of unique skills.

Staying in Jianlu would waste Zhang Chu's time.

"Farewell!"

Zhang Chu bowed slightly, his figure flashed, and soon disappeared near the sword pavilion.

Looking at Zhang Chu's disappearing figure, the Sword Saint also headed towards Wushuang City.

Originally, he came to this sword pavilion just to find some peace and quiet and comprehend the way of the sword.

But, that is no longer possible. If one wants to practice martial arts for immortality, one must have a supply of resources.

Living in Jianlu is far less convenient than living in Wushuang City.

What's more, he already had an idea for Sword Twenty-Three, and what needed to be done next was to perfect it.

However, before achieving perfection, you still need to take good care of your body first.

Only by living longer can you go further on the path of kendo.

This is true!

In just a moment, the Sword Saint's figure had disappeared near the sword pavilion.

With the departure of the Sword Saint, the sword pavilion filled with destructive sword intent was also reduced to dust.

In the past, the one who could exist under the sword intent of destruction was the presence of the Sword Saint.

Now that the Sword Saint is gone, Jianlu naturally can no longer hold on.

And what about Zhang Chu?

After leaving the sword pavilion, he headed towards the Lingyun Cave.

The way forward for longevity in martial arts is clear. Right now, the most important thing to do is to strengthen one's own Qi and blood.

To strengthen qi and blood, you need materials.

The Qilin Demon in Lingyun Cave is a real good thing.

Whether it is drawing blood to make potions to enhance qi and blood, or using it as a mount, or using cloning technology to expand the Qilin population, it is a great thing for Zhang Chu.

The only worry is whether the Qilin can be cloned using the cloning technology in the biochemical world.

After all, the Fire Qilin is truly a mythical creature.

Even if the Fire Kirin in this world is incredibly weak and can be beaten by some martial artists so badly that they flee in fear, that does not mean that the Fire Kirin's bloodline is weak!
The Fire Qilin is, after all, a mythical creature!

There is no simple existence in mythology.

Nie Feng's ancestors simply had the Fire Kirin's devil blood enter their bodies, which caused the Nie family to change their genes. When the devil blood erupted, their power increased several times.

Bu Jingyun simply changed his arm stained with the blood of the Fire Kirin, and he turned from a small-time punk into someone who could compete with Xiongba.

Duan Lang's ancestors simply added the broken scales of the Fire Kirin into the sword when forging it, and thus created a powerful weapon - the Fire Kirin Sword.

Just from these, we can see that even though the Fire Qilin is "very weak", its bloodline is not weak at all.

Enough to deserve the title of mythical creature.

With the floating technique combined with the lightness skill derived from the two martial arts worlds, Zhang Chu seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, but in fact, his speed was very fast. He could cover a distance of tens or even hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

The map I got from Wushuang City was imprinted in my mind, and since I was walking on the official road, it wouldn't be a big deal even if I got lost.

As we walked along the way, the closer we got to Lingyun Cave, the more martial artists appeared, as if something big was about to happen in the martial arts world.

By this time, Zhang Chu had already changed into a little donkey.

The Taoist priest was riding a donkey and was under the spell of an illusion, so his eyes appeared normal to others and were not that noticeable.

On the official road, there were many martial artists wielding swords and knives, and their destination seemed to be the same place.

"This time I went there to gain more knowledge,"

An older Jianghu man said slowly to the apprentice beside him, "Don't cause trouble, understand?"

"Master,"

The young man was very respectful on the surface. "Don't worry, don't you know what kind of person my disciple is?"

"I just know it all too well,"

Looking at his disciple's lively eyes, he realized that his disciple was not a quiet person, "that's why he is so worried!"

"This battle between the leader of Tianxiahui, Xiongba, and the Snow Drinking Mad Blade, Nie Renwang, can be said to be the biggest event in the martial arts world in the past decade."

"There will be countless masters coming there. If you really offend those great masters in the martial arts world, even your master will not be able to protect you!"

Having said this, the elder's eyes were filled with seriousness.

"Yes, my disciple understands!"

Hearing his master's extremely serious tone, the young disciple seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and behaved well.

When Zhang Chu, who was sitting on the donkey, heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that he would encounter this incident, the battle between Nie Renwang and Xiong Ba.

However, this is also a good thing for Zhang Chu!

Originally, he was a little worried whether he could find the Fire Qilin after arriving at Lingyun Cave.

It's really that the geography of Lingyun Cave is too complicated, and there are too many tunnels. He is not the protagonist or something. He can encounter the Fire Kirin as soon as he enters Lingyun Cave. In addition, the range covered by his spiritual awareness is not that large.

Right now, that's fine.

He remembered very clearly that the Fire Kirin appeared when Xiongba was fighting with Nie Renwang.

Just for this reason, Zhang Chu will not return empty-handed this time when he goes to Lingyun Cave.

Since all these people from the martial arts world are heading for Lingyun Cave, Zhang Chu doesn't need to understand the map himself. He can just follow the crowd and reach Lingyun Cave.

A world without navigation is indeed not very friendly to people who have poor sense of direction. Even with a map in hand, he still deviated from the track several times.

Fortunately, he was very fast and corrected it immediately after realizing the deviation.

He continued to move forward following a group of martial artists. Even though those martial artists saw a Taoist priest riding a donkey following him, they had no intention of driving him away.

The more skilled a martial artist is, the more he can feel the horror of the Taoist priest riding a donkey in front of him.

It seemed that the Taoist priest was on the donkey, but he could not sense anything at all.

Just from this point, they understood very well that the Taoist priest in front of them was definitely a veteran in the martial arts world, and an incredibly powerful veteran at that.

Even some martial arts masters were considering whether they could establish a relationship with the Taoist priest in front of them.

After all, the world of martial arts is never about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

If I could establish a relationship with this mysterious Taoist priest in front of me, nothing else would matter.

Just one's own safety factor can be improved by several levels, and perhaps the forces behind one can also gain a lot of benefits.

To make it in the world, you need both strength and background!
