Peak of Ninth Stage

The smell of blood filled the air, three bodies fell in three different places, two with bloody holes in their throats, and one was cut in half at the waist.

Chu Mu first walked towards Li Donglai's corpse and searched through his clothes. He pulled out a few items and walked towards the ninth phase late stage disciple. He did the same thing and pulled out a few items before finally walking towards Wenren Yun.

"You colluded with the Qinglan Sword Sect, you deserve to die."

Unfortunately, Wenren Yun only had some Qi-recovering Pills and Hemostasis Pills, which was extremely poor.

"Up to now, four disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect have died under my sword, and one of them was a big brother. I wonder what the elders of the Qinglan Sword Sect will think when they know about it." Chu Mu secretly thought, and he felt very comfortable thinking about that situation.

The people of the Qinglan Sword Sect had made a big conspiracy, and Chu Mu was completely angry when he learned about it. He vowed to kill all the disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect, and this was just the beginning.

"Let's see if there is anything good in these two disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect."

Immediately, he took out the things from Li Donglai and the late ninth stage disciple and carefully checked them.

After a while, Chu Mu finished checking, and his face was full of surprise and surprise. This time, the harvest was really not small.

Among them, there were more than 20 low-grade spiritual medicine, which could be used to refine Qi-training Pills, a small part of it was the main material of the Qi-breaking Pills, and there was even a mid-grade spiritual medicine, the Primordial Grass. The Primordial Grass could be taken alone, or it could be refined into a pill. Of course, the effect of refining into a pill would definitely be better.

"Among all the spiritual medicine, the Primordial Grass is suitable for me to take, maybe it can directly improve my cultivation to the middle or even the late ninth stage. But now I have three stones full of pure Spiritual Qi, which can be absorbed to accelerate the improvement of my cultivation. In this case, I will find a relatively stable place to absorb the pure Spiritual Qi in the stones and transform it into Sword Qi, and improve my cultivation to the peak of the ninth stage as soon as possible. As for the Nurturing Yuan Grass, I'll keep it for now. When I refine it into a medicinal pill, the effect will be twice as good. "

When Chu Mu flipped to the last item, he was puzzled at first, but when he flipped it open and saw the contents, he became excited. He held a silk booklet in his hands, trembling slightly. His pupils were also trembling, revealing the unconcealable joy in his heart.

"A top grade Huang class Sword Qi Art. That's great. It's even better than my middle grade Huang class Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art." Chu Mu was secretly excited. His eyes shone brightly. "Furthermore, this sword qi technique is the same as the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Technique. It's called the Shangyuan Sword Qi Technique. It's almost as if it was specially prepared for me. Once I leave the Void Realm and return to the Qingfeng Sword Sect, I will begin my closed-door training and switch to the Upper Origin Sword Qi Technique. At that time, my sword Qi will become even denser and purer, and my strength will also increase significantly. "

Chu Mu really wanted to switch to the Upper Origin Sword Qi Technique right now. Unfortunately, it would take at least three to four days. In a place like this, it was extremely inconvenient. He could only suppress this thought for now.

He hurriedly tidied up everything. The Upper Origin Sword Qi Technique and the Golden Edge Sword Technique were placed in his bosom. The other items were placed in a bag and packed on his back. Looking around, he used his movement technique and quickly made his way towards the mountain wall.

Following the mountain wall, Chu Mu soon found a natural depression. It was about two meters deep, and there were rocks and rocks all around. It was quite hidden and difficult to find. Chu Mu patrolled the area again. Not finding any signs of ferocious beast activity, he pushed some large rocks to form an encirclement, forming a better defense.

Hiding in the cave in the mountain wall, the outside was blocked by rocks. After Chu Mu slightly relaxed, he took out a rock that contained pure spirit energy and held it in his palm. He closed his eyes and removed all distracting thoughts. He entered a state of cultivation and began channeling the Zhongyuan Sword Aura Art.

As the Zhongyuan Sword Qi enveloped the stone in his palm, wisps of pure spiritual qi seeped out from within the stone, burrowing into his palm and spreading along his arm. Following the circulation of the Sword Qi, they were slowly converted into Zhongyuan Sword Qi.

As for Chu Mu's own Middle Origin Sword Aura, it slowly became even purer under the influence of the pure spirit aura.

Chu Mu still lacked a lot of knowledge about the Ancient Sword Continent. Otherwise, if he knew a lot, he wouldn't have tried to absorb the spirit aura in these rocks, and the current scene wouldn't have happened.

This rock was called a spirit stone. As the name implied, it contained pure spiritual energy.

But to a swordsman in the Sword Qi realm, spirit stones were completely useless. This was because when a swordsman was in the Sword Qi realm, he could only tap into the potential of his blood and flesh, ultimately transforming it into Sword Qi and channeling it into his dantian. Only after breaking through the peak of Tenth Stage and successfully reaching the Qi Transformation realm could one communicate with the outside world and absorb the spiritual energy in the air.

In other words, only swordsmen who had reached the Qi Transformation realm could use spirit stones. Only then could they absorb the pure spiritual energy within and refine it into their own Sword Qi. But now, Chu Mu was able to do what a Qi Transformation realm practitioner could do at the Sword Qi realm. If news of this got out, who knew what kind of shock it would cause?

And Chu Mu could do this entirely because of the external Sword Qi of a grandmaster swordsman. This allowed him to control a small range of external Sword Qi. Although he could not absorb the spiritual energy like a Qi Transformation realm practitioner, he could still absorb it from a spirit stone.

However, compared to a Qi Transformation Realm expert, the speed at which Chu Mu absorbed the pure spirit energy from the spirit stones was naturally much slower.

However, the Sword Qi of a Qi Transformation expert was Xiantian Sword Qi. Its purity was dozens of times greater than that of a Sword Qi cultivator. Even if Chu Mu's rate of absorption was not fast, it was still enough.

Feeling the strands of pure spirit aura enter his body from the stone in his palm and transform into Middle Yuan Sword Aura, causing his Sword Aura cultivation to slowly rise. Chu Mu's heart was unbelievably smooth.

Unknowingly, his Sword Qi cultivation had broken through from early Ninth Stage to mid Ninth Stage. Pure spiritual energy continued to flow into his body, rapidly transforming from mid Ninth Stage to late Ninth Stage.

Time passed bit by bit. This place was rather remote. No one else appeared, and there were no traces of vicious beasts either. Chu Mu had nothing to worry about and focused on cultivating the Sword Qi manual.

Because this was not a cultivation that unlocked one's potential, the number of days he could cultivate was not limited by the thirty major cycles. It also did not place too much of a burden on his meridians.

After who knew how long, Chu Mu's Sword Qi surged again, reaching late Ninth Stage.

The increase in Sword Qi did not stop, continuing to increase as it advanced towards the peak.

With another surge, it reached the peak once more, still increasing.

After who knew how much time had passed, Chu Mu only felt that his Sword Qi could not increase any further. He woke up and left his cultivation state.

He exhaled a mouthful of white Qi, which shot out like a sword. It whistled as it struck the air, only dissipating after shooting two meters away.

Chu Mu's eyes shone with a sharp light, unusually forceful. "Good, I've finally reached the peak of Ninth Stage. Even if I meet Wei Hong again, I am confident that I can kill him."
