Chapter 356: Practicing in the Sword Cave

Inside the Sword Cave, Jiang Yun had just extended his spiritual awareness towards the cave entrance when suddenly a Sword Intent emerged from nowhere and shattered his spiritual awareness.

"Cannot use spiritual awareness!"

Jiang Yun’s eyes flashed with cold light, realizing that spiritual awareness was not allowed in the Sword Cave.

Since it was not allowed, Jiang Yun simply pointed his finger, sending a burst of spiritual energy towards the cave entrance.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

As the spiritual energy touched the cave entrance, the once empty space filled with the sound of crisp sword clanging.

Next, many sword energies crisscrossed at the cave entrance, forming a web of sword energy that easily shattered Jiang Yun’s spirit energy.

As the spirit energy disappeared, the sword energies also vanished instantly.

Jiang Yun nodded gently, knowing that the seemingly unguarded cave entrance actually concealed sword energies.

Whenever something touched the entrance, the sword energies would appear.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun ultimately decided to give up the idea of testing the sharpness of these sword energies with his own body.

Despite his strong physique, he might still struggle to withstand these sword energies.

Unable to turn back, Jiang Yun turned his gaze towards the cave’s interior.

Looking at the thousands of swords inserted into the ground, Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "Even the most complex formations have a way to break through. This Sword Cave, as cleverly designed as it is, cannot only allow entrance but not exit. There must be a way out."

"And this way must be related to these swords!"

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun carefully took steps, one by one, walking towards the depths of the cave.

Even though he was prepared, he knew that sword energy could appear at any moment.

Strangely, there was no sign of sword energy along the way, allowing him to enter the depths of the cave safely.

Jiang Yun pondered, "Maybe the sword energy only appears when attacks are launched!"

To test his theory, Jiang Yun used a bit of spirit qi and aimed at empty space.

Sure enough, countless sword energy burst out!

This discovery made Jiang Yun less concerned about other dangers in the Ten Thousand Swords Cave, so he decided to carefully explore the entire cave.

Although the Sword Cave was not small, with thousands of swords inside, there were limited walking spaces.

Just a moment later, Jiang Yun had toured the entire Sword Cave.

Even though Jiang Yun couldn’t find a way out, he made an unexpected discovery.

Inside the Sword Cave, not every attack in every place would trigger the sword energy.

In one spot, no matter how he used spirit energy or cast spells, the sword energy did not appear.

This spot was not very big, just a square meter, enough for one person to sit or stand.

Standing there, Jiang Yun looked around, thinking hard about why this safe spot couldn’t trigger the sword energy.

Gradually, Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up, and he said, "I understand now, this Sword Cave must be a place for sword-cultivation disciples to practice swordsmanship."

"And this spot is meant for them to rest!"

"When they get tired, they can come here to rest and meditate, to restore their spirit energy."

After realizing this, Jiang Yun touched his nose and said, "Since I can’t leave the Sword Cave now, I still have three months left."

"Three months later, if I can become stronger, maybe I’ll find a way to leave!"

"This spot is very safe and perfect for using my energy. No one else is around to disturb me, it’s a great place for practicing!"

"I’ll just practice meditation here!"

After setting up nine protective barriers, Jiang Yun sat down in this spot.

In the next moment, two rings appeared in his hands.

One ring held a lot of spiritual support like stones for practice, given by the sect;

The other one was a gift from his adoptive father Han Shizun.

While others used spiritual stones to absorb energy, for Jiang Yun, they were keys to unlock black stones to enhance various practicing materials, especially medicinal pills.

The ring from his adoptive father contained only herbs and pills, nothing else.

A pharmacist of the eighth rank had a vast collection that amazed Jiang Yun. He decided that the first thing he would do in his closed-door cultivation was to refine medicine!

He had already chosen the pill to refine, a pill called Spirit Enhance that was given to him by the sect.

This pill was specially made for those at the Blessed Land Realm to increase their spirit qi.

Jiang Yun chose it because he noticed that the sect was being very generous this time to all disciples entering Mirage.

Even though he was given only three Spirit Enhance Pills, Jiang Yun knew they were extremely valuable!

Besides the Spirit Enhance Pill, he also needed to refine some Reaching-Sky Pills!

The Reaching-Sky Pill was not only needed for the ninth level of the Blessed Land’s Condensing Heaven Cave, but also a favor asked by Brother Hei for Jiang Yun to help refine.

When Jiang Yun left the Seeking-Tao Sect two years ago, he didn’t help Brother Hei refine too many pills.

Now that he had returned, he wanted to quickly help Brother Hei refine more.

Then, before entering Mirage, find a chance to meet Brother Hei and give him these Reaching-Sky Pills, which will settle a matter on Jiang Yun’s mind.

So, in the following days, Jiang Yun was completely focused on refining medicine.

He didn’t need a furnace, or even spiritual fire and Li Fire. Instead, he tried to use his own life fire directly for refinement.

After devouring a large amount of human-shaped life fire, especially a strand of Huo Yanghui’s life fire, his own life fire had become much stronger, enough to support him in refining pills.

During the process of wholeheartedly refining medicine, Jiang Yun was unaware –

– because he was currently inside the Sword Cave, which meant that even if he produced a pill capable of triggering the Dan Disaster, the disaster could not directly occur inside the Sword Cave.

It actually helped him avoid some unnecessary trouble.

However, this also meant that he couldn’t absorb the calamity thunder from the Dan Disaster.

Otherwise, continuously absorbing the calamity thunder would at least help his Thunderbolt Dao Body progress further during this time.

Nowadays, Jiang Yun’s skills in making medicine may not be the best, but he can easily make medicine of up to the third rank.

One month passed by in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yun’s medicine-making finally came to an end.

Right now, in front of Jiang Yun, there are Spirit Enhance Pills and Reaching-Sky Pills, each with a hundred pills, and even the lowest quality ones are at the Earth level.

"After taking a hundred Spirit Enhance Pills, I wonder how many levels my cultivation can improve. I don’t ask for much, just one or two levels would make me happy!"

With this small wish in mind, Jiang Yun summoned a black stone and then pointed at the storage ring given to him by the sect, and saw pieces of spiritual stones flying out from it.

In order to quickly boost his own strength, with so many spiritual stones in hand now, Jiang Yun certainly wouldn’t be stingy.

He didn’t even activate the first level of the Black Stone Transformation Water, but started from the second level at the least, imprinting each of the two hundred pills one by one.

And the end result was that almost more than ninety percent of the two hundred pills in front of him had all reached perfect quality.

This is a very terrifying thing.

If these pills get into the outside world, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

But Jiang Yun didn’t think that much at all.

Reaching-Sky Pill is for Brother Hei, while he wants to take all the Spirit Enhance Pills himself!

Folding away the Reaching-Sky Pill, Jiang Yun decisively put a hundred Spirit Enhance Pills directly into his mouth…
