Mortal Mirror

Fortunately, everything is real. The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Second Uncle's family still left. Li Ergou didn't see them off, but hired two large horse-drawn carriages for them. The carriages were filled with a lot of meat and vegetables, all given by those subordinates. Li Ergou didn't keep much for himself, almost all of it went to Second Uncle's family.

He also gave him two hundred taels of silver, so he could repair his house and buy some land, so he wouldn't have to live so hard in the future.

As for Xiwa, he didn't leave. Li Ergou kept him and asked Big White Elephant to teach him cultivation techniques, so he could also watch the house for him.

Li Ergou also took out Wu Divine Immortal's nameless treasure book, as well as the martial arts techniques issued by the yamen, and let Big White Elephant and Xiwa study them, whether they could enter the martial arts and divine paths depended on their own opportunities.

Everything seemed to be developing for the better, and Li Ergou also felt that life was getting better and better. He couldn't help but think, how wonderful it would be if it could continue like this.

But he knew that if he wanted to protect these good things, he still needed to work hard.

Inside the house, he took out that ball of sword intent. Looking at this pure sword intent, he understood in his heart that this thing would determine whether he could truly enter the path of sword cultivation.

With a thought, he opened his mouth and sucked the sword intent into his mouth, swallowing it into his stomach.

Only in this way could he better comprehend the sword intent.

At this moment, he felt the sharp sword light within the sword intent, and the unpredictable changes within the sword intent. Under normal circumstances, sword intent had to be comprehended by oneself. What Li Ergou was doing belonged to the heretical path.

But Li Ergou was too stupid. If he wanted to comprehend the supreme sword intent, there was probably no chance.

This was perhaps the only way out, so he especially cherished it. If the sword intent replicated by the copper mirror wasn't pure and flawless, he wouldn't have had a chance. After all, if Li Ergou dared to refine the Blood Nether Sword Intent, he might become a heretical cultivator or a madman in minutes, which he certainly wouldn't do.

At this moment, he felt the sword intent, understood the sword intent, and comprehended the sword intent. Unconsciously, he actually comprehended what sword intent was, and what a true sword cultivator was.

The sword intent he felt was so pure, without a trace of impurities, it was the essence of the sword's power.

For ten days and ten nights, he didn't move. On this day, he suddenly felt the sword intent emit infinite light. He finally merged with this sword intent.

As the light fell, the sword intent turned into a fingernail-sized, crescent-shaped, almost solid thin piece. This was the Sword Core.

Li Ergou was inexplicably excited. He didn't expect that he could refine a Sword Core. This thing was a treasure for sword cultivators, the foundation of an innate sword embryo and a natal flying sword.

With this thing, as long as he cultivated day and night, letting it slowly grow larger, he could use it as raw material to forge his own natal flying sword in the future.

At the same time, he only felt his blood vessels throbbing, a powerful aura formed in his body, and a powerful suction force emanated from his dantian, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to continuously enter his body.

Ten zhang, hundred zhang, thousand zhang, countless spiritual energy within a radius was drawn into Li Ergou's body under the pull of this aura.

He felt that the powerful force not only didn't burst him, but under the traction of the aura, a small vortex began to form in his dantian. As more and more spiritual energy entered, the vortex began to grow larger and larger.

He was immediately excited. At this moment, he suddenly understood one thing, this aura should have been caused by the Sword Core, it was a kind of superposition reaction, and it could also be regarded as a way to feed back the physical body.

In this way, he remained motionless for three days and three nights. The spiritual energy within a hundred miles was drawn into his dantian, and the spiritual energy vortex in his dantian became the maximum limit he could withstand.

When all of this stopped, he found that his cultivation had suddenly increased by a level, reaching the peak of the Qi Refining stage. With just one step, he could enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

At this moment, he was overjoyed. For a moment, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Perhaps he never dreamed that refining the Sword Core would have such great benefits.

You must know that only by stepping into the Foundation Establishment stage would he be a true divine cultivator, and completely enter the path of divinity.

But at this moment, he felt that at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, there seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking him, preventing him from taking that step.

He knew that this was the bottleneck that Li Zheng'an had mentioned. This step seemed very close, but it was like a chasm, blocking the path of countless people.

Many people could not cross this step in their entire lives, and would be forever mired there.

He shook his head slightly. In any case, the rapid progress in cultivation was something he hadn't expected, and he was already very happy.

Coming out of the house, he saw Big White Elephant teaching Xiwa martial arts. Seeing Li Ergou come out, he immediately ran over and said with a happy face, "Ergou, this brother of yours is really smart. I just explained the cultivation methods to him a few times, and he memorized them. Look, he's even doing it with some skill."

Li Ergou was happy to see Xiwa practicing seriously, and praised, "Good, good, isn't it because you are a good master? How about you two, have you made any progress in martial arts and the divine path?"

Big White Elephant said with a bitter face, "It's not that easy. However, Xiwa, this kid, has a good understanding. Perhaps he will achieve the divine path before me."

Li Ergou said with slight surprise, "So powerful?"

Big White Elephant chuckled and said, "Yes, this kid is indeed unusual. Just watch, I'm sure I won't be wrong. However, I prefer the path of martial arts, but this path requires a good understanding for a period of time."

Li Ergou nodded and let the two of them cultivate. These days, Li Ergou thought about it. The secret of the copper mirror was of great importance. Xiwa still couldn't stay here. After all, it was too troublesome for him to do things. If he knew the secret of the copper mirror, it would definitely not be good for him, and might even harm him.

With this in mind, he planned to take some time to talk to Big White Elephant about this matter.

Early the next morning, Big White Elephant left with Xiwa. Although Big White Elephant didn't know why Li Ergou was doing this, he knew that Li Ergou must have his own reasons, and he didn't want to ask too much.

In fact, he was very confused about these things in Li Ergou's house, such as those chickens. He didn't know what kind of breed they were, and Li Ergou was very secretive about it, not telling him where these things came from.

However, he understood in his heart that Li Ergou must have his own difficulties. Not saying it might not be to deliberately hide it from him, but a kind of different protection. Anyway, he believed in him, and whatever he said was fine.

After figuring out these things, Big White Elephant naturally had no worries. As for Li Ergou, he now had nothing to say. Since the last time Li Ergou was willing to risk his life to help him avenge his great revenge, he believed that the two of them were brothers for life.

Li Ergou was also very happy that Big White Elephant didn't have too many questions, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

After Big White Elephant and Xiwa left, Li Ergou first went to the yamen to inspect the area, and then went to the Spiritual Object Pavilion. Liu Zhiyu was still not there, it seemed that he was really busy.

But Yu Tailai was in the grocery store, which made Li Ergou very happy. He now had many questions he wanted to ask him.
