Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Lin Dong's fingers were also retrieved by Li Guanqi, and with Elder Lan He's healing, recovery is only a matter of time.

However, he probably won't make it to this trial secret realm.

The four of them drank some wine in Li Guanqi's small courtyard, and eventually, they all returned to their own places.

Now, everyone in the entire sect is cultivating like crazy, and the second assessment for entry-level disciples is also approaching.

Especially after seeing Li Guanqi's cultivation progress, they were even more stimulated.

Even Ye Feng, who usually loves to sleep in, has started cultivating desperately.

Li Guanqi's injuries have also been recovering relatively quickly these past few days.

Three days later.

The sword wounds on his body are only faint pink marks now.

These past few days, Li Guanqi has been practicing his swordsmanship like crazy. The Sword Spirit was very dissatisfied with his performance in the previous battle against the man in black.

Yuhu Peak Summit.

Li Guanqi stood bare-chested, his long sword dancing. He has already mastered the Azure Lotus Heavenly罡 Sword to perfection.

Furthermore, Li Guanqi has started trying to use the power of the Sword Ruin weapon soul within his Spiritual Void these past few days.

But he only tried it once, and then he didn't dare to try it any further!

Because the moment the weapon soul was integrated into the magical artifact, the magical artifact emitted a sword cry as if it couldn't bear the weight.

The Sword Spirit softly said, "Weapon souls can only be carried by soul artifacts; even magical treasures cannot withstand it."

The Sword Spirit's illusory body seemed to be visible only to Li Guanqi himself.

The Sword Spirit frowned slightly and softly asked, "How many spirit stones do you have now?"

Li Guanqi raised his head and pondered for a moment, then softly said, "About ten thousand?"

"But the spirit stones for the dragon egg's altar have been almost completely consumed; it can last for a month at most."

The Sword Spirit pondered for a moment and softly said, "Starting today, you give me a hundred low-grade spirit stones every day."

"I will help you conjure a sword cultivator of the same realm within the sword box's altar space to help you improve your strength!"

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, and his tone suddenly rose a lot.

"A hundred spirit stones?!! Are you trying to rob me!!"

A helpless expression appeared on the Sword Spirit's face. She rolled her eyes at him and turned to return to the sword box.

"Then you can practice your swordsmanship yourself."

"Oh, right… you haven't given me any Yuan Power for three days."

Li Guanqi's chest rose and fell slightly. After considering it for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Give, give, give."

"But you have to tell me, what is that thing you're conjuring?"

"Also, how long can a hundred spirit stones last?"

A playful smile appeared on the Sword Spirit's lips.

"Hundred Heroes Illusion!"

"As for how long a hundred low-grade spirit stones can last…"

The Sword Spirit slowly extended one finger.

Li Guanqi frowned and asked, "One day?"

The Sword Spirit shook her head.

"One hour??"

The Sword Spirit still shook her head.

The Sword Spirit softly said, "The time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Li Guanqi's face was livid at this moment. He said word by word, "One incense stick's worth of time, costs a hundred spirit stones?"

The woman's ethereal voice softly said, "The power consumed by this illusion is extremely terrifying."

"More importantly, I can't maintain it for too long right now."

"Whether you want to try it or not is up to you."

Li Guanqi's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked the last question.

"Compared to your so-called Hundred Heroes Sword Cultivator, how much do I lag behind?"

There was actually a trace of seriousness in the Sword Spirit's eyes. Between her lightly parted vermilion lips, pearly teeth opened and closed.

"Worlds apart."

"Compared to some true chosen ones of heaven, the gap is too large."

"The vastness of the world is beyond your imagination. Geniuses? They are the cheapest things."

"Only those who can survive to the end can be called geniuses."

"Some people are even born with a sword physique. They will awaken their natal weapon soul at birth, which accompanies them throughout their lives."

"Some people have a sudden epiphany and break through three realms in a row!"

"There are also people who are invincible the moment they hold a sword."

"But these people often die young before they can reach the end."

Hearing the Sword Spirit's words, Li Guanqi felt somewhat unconvinced. He gritted his teeth and threw a hundred spirit stones to the Sword Spirit.

He said in a deep voice, "Try!"

Li Guanqi's heart is actually quite arrogant, especially after these recent battles.

He feels that cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Establishment are just like that.

A gleam of light flashed in the Sword Spirit's eyes. She had long noticed the changes in Li Guanqi's state of mind.

But this kind of underestimation…

In her opinion, it is more fatal than a lack of talent!

The cultivation world has never lacked geniuses, such as a genius who appears once in a thousand years, or a Dao body that appears once in ten thousand years.

In the Sword Spirit's view, they are all illusory. Li Guanqi possesses the Emptiness Spirit Dao Body, and she doesn't want him to die so early.

Once Li Guanqi dies, she won't even have a chance to tear through the river of time!

Because the Great Sumeru Nine Palaces Immortal Execution Pattern set up by Su Xuan has already bound her and Li Guanqi together!

Therefore, the Sword Spirit does not allow Li Guanqi to have any contempt. She wants to cultivate Li Guanqi into the strongest sword cultivator in the world!

Buzz!!

An invisible barrier suddenly appeared in the wooden house. Within the barrier, only a sword box was suspended in mid-air.

Li Guanqi was on the altar, and the world suddenly became distorted!

Gradually, an endless bluestone platform appeared under Li Guanqi's feet.

Buzz!!

The space twisted slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared ten feet away from Li Guanqi.

The other party was wearing a green robe, was more than six feet tall, and was more than half a head taller than him.

His face was blurred, and he couldn't see the other party's face at all.

But Li Guanqi could clearly feel that the other party's aura was the same as his, and he had just broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, in the next moment…

Li Guanqi only felt a blur before his eyes and instinctively raised his sword to block in front of him!

Suddenly!

Li Guanqi's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He felt a sudden chill at his neck!!

When he reappeared in the wooden house, Li Guanqi's eyes were empty, and he didn't recover for a long time.

The feeling of real death made his whole body feel cold.

The Sword Spirit's voice rang in his ears: "Did you see that? This is the gap between you and other geniuses."

"Is the middle stage of Foundation Establishment weak? No, it's just that you haven't met a strong enemy yet!"

"You can be conceited, but you must never be arrogant!"

Li Guanqi's expression changed repeatedly. His chest rose and fell slightly, and he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

When he looked at the Sword Spirit, he actually bowed and said, "I have been taught!"

"Do you want to continue?"

Li Guanqi's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice, "Continue!"

The Sword Spirit finally revealed a trace of a smile and softly said, "Don't just look at the other party's eyes. Every muscle in the body can actually predict his next action in advance."

"Your left-hand sword speed is faster than his. Do you want to try it?"

Li Guanqi's expression became firm, and he said in a deep voice, "No, I want to try it with my own strength!"

That night, Li Guanqi consumed nearly five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

But facing that unknown figure, he was already able to last for half an incense stick's worth of time.

Li Guanqi, with a pale face, sat alone cross-legged on the summit, constantly recalling the gains and losses of the battle that night and summarizing today's gains.

The Sword Spirit nodded secretly as she looked at Li Guanqi's back.

Li Guanqi's physique may not be the strongest she has ever seen, but it is definitely the one with the greatest potential!

Moreover, because of his childhood, Li Guanqi's tenacity of mind far exceeds that of ordinary people.

A smile appeared on the corner of the Sword Spirit's mouth, and she murmured softly, "In the time it takes for five incense sticks to burn, he was killed thirty-two times, yet his mind has not collapsed."

"When faced with other people's advice, he can still calm down and listen to the opinions."

"Such a state of mind… monstrous talent!"
