C19 Cultivating Sword Qi

Mercenaries are a cruel profession, and if you're not prepared to sacrifice yourself or be crippled at any time, don't be a mercenary.

This was what Qin Feng later heard. He deeply agreed with it, but at the same time, he could not help but sigh.

"Feng, you passed the test. Remember this battle, remember tonight, remember those people who sacrificed themselves to protect the town."

After saying that, Qin Xiaocang left, leaving Qin Feng standing alone on the ground covered in blood and corpses. Facing the cold night wind, he fell into deep thought.

The waning moon shone through the clouds under the faint moonlight, illuminating the miserable land, outlining Qin Feng's desolate and lonely figure.

The next day, the survivors built tombstones for all the townspeople and mercenaries who had sacrificed themselves to reminisce about them. Aa Guo also used various channels to find the families of the mercenaries who had sacrificed themselves and gave them some money as the final compensation.

Qin Feng returned to the town and looked at the rows of simple but heavy tombstones. He could not help but be moved and fell into deep thought again.

After this mercenary mission, Qin Feng understood the cruelty of the world for the first time. For the first time, he understood the sadness and respect of mercenaries. Although he only had a short contact with these people, he could not call out their names, but their figures were forever engraved in his heart.

This mission was a starless high-level mission. It could be said that it was the most difficult and the highest mortality rate for starless missions. Those who were willing to accept the mission were prepared to lose their lives. However, when they truly saw someone die in front of them, they couldn't help but feel sad. Especially some friends and comrades who were close to each other.

Time passed by in a flash. Three days had passed since that night. Most of the surviving mercenaries had left after receiving their salary. Aa Guo treated his enemies and beasts cruelly, but he treated the mercenaries well. He paid his own money and paid everyone double their pay.

Qin Feng had been muddle-headed for the past three days. He stayed in his room all day and fell into silence. Qin Xiaocang took the hiring fee for him. He had also contributed a lot in killing the Wolf King, Qin Feng. The Wolf King was a Spiritual Beast, and it was worth quite a bit of money. Therefore, Qin Feng had received an additional 20 silver coins. This time, he received a total of 30 silver coins.

Qin Xiaocang did not immediately leave with Qin Feng. He knew that Qin Feng still needed time to digest this experience. He was not in a hurry, and patiently waited in Sangluo Town.

Two days later, Aa Guo left. However, Lansley, Greiner and the others stayed behind to help the townspeople rebuild Sangluo Town.

On this day, Qin Feng finally recovered and found Qin Xiaocang.

Qin Xiaocang saw Qin Feng and smiled. He said, "Feng, this place is very close to Ningyang City. Third Uncle will bring you there to have a look. He would also hand over the mission there. On the way, I will teach you the formula for cultivating the sword Qi. When we arrive at the Ningyang City, you can try cultivating there for a while."

"I will listen to Third Uncle's arrangement." Qin Feng nodded. He was also curious about the Ningyang City.

Not long after, Qin Xiaocang brought Qin Feng and left the Sangluo Town, heading north towards the Ningyang City.

When they left, Lansley, Xiao Ma, Greiner and the others came out to see them off. After this battle, they had gotten to know each other, and they had a whole new level of respect for Qin Feng. They were also very grateful to Qin Feng. If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Feng had become so powerful, they might not have been able to hold on until Aa Guo returned.

Qin Feng also remembered all of them in his heart. They were the first batch of people Qin Feng had met outside. Although they weren't friends yet, they had experienced life and death together. This experience was extremely rare and would never be forgotten for the rest of their lives.

When night fell, Qin Feng and Qin Xiaocang arrived at Ningyang City.

The two of them entered from the south gate. There were several guards at the gate, and there were no strict checks. They only needed to pay five copper coins each to enter.

Although it was late at night, the Ningyang City was still brightly lit, as if it was daytime. For some people, a day had just begun at night.

As the fourth largest city in the Lei Kesi, the Ningyang City was undoubtedly prosperous. Although it was night, the streets were still crowded with people, and all kinds of peddlers and peddlers were ringing in their ears. The taverns, gambling dens, and other special entertainment places were extremely lively, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

Qin Xiaocang found a hotel to stay in in in the south of the city, and Qin Feng immediately shut himself in his room. He began to recall the sword qi cultivation method Qin Xiaocang taught him on the way.

The sword qi was the foundation of the Sword Cultivator. It was as important as the elements to spirit cultivators.

There were two ways to cultivate the sword qi in Sword Cultivator. One was to transform from a spirit cultivator to a Sword Cultivator like Qin Feng. There was already a certain amount of spirit energy or Spirit Power in his body. After a long period of sword practice, after gaining a certain level of familiarity with the sword, through his comprehension of the Sword Dao, using a special technique, he gradually transformed the spiritual energy into sword energy.

The other method was that those who did not have the foundation of spirit energy within their bodies needed to comprehend one of the paths of the sword. They used the sword as a medium to comprehend the special aura that existed between heaven and earth. Then, they used the same special technique to absorb it into their bodies and convert it into sword energy.

Of course, if one originally possessed a Spirit Power Seed and did not wish to shatter it, they could also use the latter method to cultivate sword energy.

However, the latter method was clearly a little more difficult than the former. Hence, most people who possessed Spiritual Qi would directly transform it into Sword Qi. They would not choose to go into the heavens and earth to comprehend that special aura and transform it into Sword Qi.

Qin Feng had encountered this kind of situation. He was not willing to shatter the Spirit Power Seed. After all, it was not easy to come by. Moreover, this was the symbol of him being a spiritual cultivator in the past.

Therefore, he decided to keep the Spirit Power Seed and use the sword to comprehend the special existence in the heaven and earth to cultivate Sword Qi out of thin air.

Perhaps this would increase the difficulty and make his cultivation progress slower, but he would never regret it.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, the sword profound is the guide. Conduit and control, mind and mind become one. The mind will gather for a hundred times, and the heart will look at the dantian. Origin energy, clear and clear!"

An ancient and bitter chant sounded from within Qin Feng's heart. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He held the Soul Crying Sword with both hands and his mind was clear. He completely released his understanding of the Dao of Sword.

In an instant, the Soul Crying Sword seemed to faintly emit a strange light. At this moment, Qin Feng felt his soul drifting away from his body, as if it had merged with the vast world.

It was strange. According to what Qin Xiaocang had said, most people who cultivated the Sword Qi for the first time would fail. One needed to go through several attempts before one's soul could enter this mysterious realm and merge with the world.

Vaguely, Qin Feng discovered that there was a strange mist floating between the heaven and earth. Although it wasn't much, it actually existed.

That was the special aura that needed to be absorbed into his body, and it was also an important thing to transform into sword qi.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and tried to absorb the mist, but it did not have much effect. Only one or two wisps of extremely thin mist were absorbed by him.
