Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Raising the Sword

In the villa, after dinner, Su Yang went upstairs alone.

Su Xia and Qi’er were always clinging together. The two little girls hit it off right away and had now become very good friends.

Qi’er was also good at cooking and took care of all the household chores, making things much more convenient for Su Yang.

The villa had three floors, and the entire third floor, spanning over one hundred and seventy square meters, was all Su Yang’s.

First, Su Yang set up a simple prohibition. Everything happening on the third floor would be isolated there, completely undetected by anyone outside. With this in place, Su Yang could now cultivate in peace.

Sitting cross-legged, Su Yang first took out the Nine Cold Jade Sword given to him by Master Fang.

According to Destiny’s Tome, Nine Cold Jade was considered Profound Level material and extremely rare on Earth. And the whole Nine Cold Jade Sword was even more unimaginable.

Of course, for ordinary people, the Nine Cold Jade Sword was pretty much like an air conditioner. Only at the Spirit Tranquility Realm could one begin to use the Nine Cold Jade Sword. And only when reaching the Mystical Realm could one fully unleash the power of the Nine Cold Jade Sword.

Su Yang had now reached the Qi Refining Peak but was still some distance away from the Spirit Tranquility Realm. However, he wasn’t entirely unable to use the Nine Cold Jade Sword. Although he couldn’t bring out its full power, he could still use it as a normal treasured sword.

Flipping open Destiny’s Tome, Su Yang found the section on the Sword Control Technique and committed it to memory.

The Sword Control Technique was an ability to wield a treasured sword with one’s inner True Qi. Simply put, it was known as the art of flying swords.

To use this secret technique, one must first form a close connection with the sword, allowing it to communicate with one’s intentions.

When one reaches the peak of the Fusion Realm and one’s True Qi can harmonize with the universe, one can resonate with the treasured sword with their inner True Qi, thus letting the sword communicate with one’s intentions.

Su Yang’s current realm was still a bit away from the Fusion Peak. However, Destiny’s Tome recorded another sword nourishing secret technique, which he could use at his current level.

This sword nourishing technique involved using one’s own essence blood to feed the sword, thereby achieving a connection of intentions with the sword.

This method required some time and was not accomplished overnight. Some might need a month, others might need a year, and some might even need several years; it was unpredictable.

Anyway, Su Yang had nothing else to do, so he picked up the Nine Cold Jade Sword, cut open his fingertip, and let the blood drip onto it.

Under the activation of the secret technique, the blood slowly infused into the Nine Cold Jade Sword. The sword emitted a faint glow, and at that moment, Su Yang felt as if something extra had suddenly appeared in his heart. However, it was fleeting, not giving Su Yang a chance to grasp the sensation.

Su Yang knew that if he could capture this feeling, then his sword nourishment would be considered a success. Such an opportunity was something to be encountered but not sought!

Packing away the Nine Cold Jade Sword, the process of nourishing the sword could only be performed once every twelve hours; doing it more frequently would be of no benefit.

Next, Su Yang walked around the room a few times, committing the entire layout to memory.

The feng shui of the land where Longshui Bay Villa Area was located was quite good. However, because there were too many houses built here, the spiritual energy of the feng shui was dispersed.

If Su Yang wanted to cultivate using this spiritual energy, the best method would be to gather it together with a Spirit Gathering Array.

And this Spirit Gathering Array is not a one-time use thing; it is an array that, once set up in this room, will continuously absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

According to the records of Destiny’s Tome, some Taoist and Buddhist Sects use such Spirit Gathering Arrays to condense all the nearby spiritual energy within their sect, thus creating what is known as a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

However, those from the Demonic Sect would not use this method; they use the Spirit Absorbing Array, which can forcibly draw in spiritual energy. This method is too overbearing, as any living creature that carelessly enters the range of the Spirit Absorbing Array will have its spiritual energy drained and die.

Moreover, the spiritual energy absorbed this way is mixed and not suitable for laying a solid foundation!

Su Yang’s cultivation is based on Devouring the Heavens, with the practices of the Taoist and Buddhist Sects as the foundation. With Devouring the Heavens, he had no need for the Spirit Absorbing Array. Thus, all he needed to do was set up the Spirit Gathering Array in this room to temper his foundations.

Following the instructions from Destiny’s Tome, Su Yang drew several magical symbols and placed them at various positions in the room. Sitting cross-legged at the center, Su Yang closed his eyes to silently operate the Spirit Gathering Array, and the magical symbols immediately began to shine, illuminating the entire area within their light.

Before long, Su Yang felt streams of spiritual energy converging around him.

After cultivating for half an hour, the light from the magical symbols completely dimmed, and the spiritual energy scattered.

”Ultimately, these are just ordinary symbols and can’t be used for long periods,” Su Yang said softly as he waved his hand to erase the symbols, ”If I could find some top-quality jade, I could set up a permanent Spirit Gathering Array and wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble.”

That evening, Su Yang and Su Xia stayed in the villa, and the next morning, Su Yang received a phone call from his stepmother Zhao Xuefen.

”Xiao Yang, I’ve bought groceries; come home for lunch,” Zhao Xuefen’s voice was unusually warm, given that Su Yang had changed his standing.

”I have some things to do at noon...” Su Yang wanted to decline, as he didn’t feel like going back to see Zhao Xuefen.

”Hey, Xiao Yangzi!” A slightly androgynous voice suddenly came through, sounding malicious, ”You must be home by twelve, or you’re dead!”

Hearing this voice, Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh, ”Sister Fei, you’re back!”

”Knowing that your sister is back, shouldn’t you hurry home to pick me up!”

”Remember to bring your little sister back for lunch, too. Your sister’s boyfriend is coming over; let’s have a family gathering,” Zhao Xuefen clamored from the side.

”Mom, why are you talking nonsense? He’s just a colleague!”

With a light smile, Su Yang said, ”No problem, I’ll be home on time for lunch!”

After hanging up the phone, a smile still lingered on Su Yang’s face.

This Sister Fei, named Chen Fei, is the sister of Chen Zhien and Zhao Xuefen’s daughter from her previous marriage.

She is five years older than Su Yang and has always been tomboyish since childhood. She has a good relationship with Su Yang but is rather indifferent towards her own brother, Chen Zhien.

In his early years when Su Yang was bullied at school, it was Chen Fei who would step in to fight for him, even shedding blood on his behalf. Because of this, Su Yang had the closest relationship with her.

Chen Fei now works in the provincial city and doesn’t come home often. It had been three years since Su Yang last saw her, and unexpectedly, she was now bringing a boyfriend home. However, by her age, it was time for her to think about marriage.
