The Red Haired Sword Practitioner

It has been two weeks since Yang Ling started cultivating the fundamental spiritual body cultivation method using only the medicinal herbs and the natural resources she found in the space rings she gathered from the dead corpses.

Yang Ling's cultivation of the fundamental spiritual body has broken through to the third layer, resulting in her body becoming more curvaceous; her round breasts and buttocks have become plumper than before. Her jade-like skin became smoother, her hips became wider, her dark black hair became darker, Yang Ling's face became prettier than before, and her long, slender legs and slender waist became more captivating to men.

The sword spirit looked at Yang Ling with a smile on her face and said, "You did well. Now you're going to start absorbing the Yuan Spirit stones to breakthrough the fourth and fifth layers of the fundamental spiritual body cultivating method."

Yang Ling looked at the pile of Yuan Spirit stones in front of her with hesitation, and then she asked the sword spirit, "Do I need to absorb the Yuan Spirit stones?" "Is there no other way for me to continue cultivating the fundamental spiritual body cultivation method without absorbing the Yuan Spirit stones?"

The sword spirit raised her eyebrows when she heard Yang Ling's question, but she answered, "I can help you absorb the monster cores by purifying the violent spirit energy they contain, but this process will weaken me." But first, tell me why you don't want to use the Yuan Spirit stones to advance your cultivation."

Yang Ling sighed and replied to the sword spirit. "I told you when I met you that my father sold me to a brothel, so from now on I will not have the Yang clan's support like before." "I will need to depend on myself to survive; the Yuan Spirit stones had a great value on the shooting star continent, and these stones will help me survive for the time being."

The sword spirit nodded in understanding and said to Yang Ling, "Fine, I planned to seal myself inside you soon before you joined a sect, but if we are going to use the monster beast's cores to continue your cultivation, then I will have to seal myself inside of you sooner than I thought."

Yang Ling was confused and asked, "Why do you need to seal yourself in me?" 

The sword spirit looked seriously at Yang Ling, then she started explaining, "One million years ago, there was a huge war between four worlds: the immortal world, the Divine world, the Spirit world, and the Fallen world. The golden sword you see before you is known as the golden fairy sword, and it serves as my body. Its core is currently damaged, which results in me being extremely injured. "I may not appear injured to you from the outside, but I am extremely weak and not as strong as I used to be." "To fix it, we will need special natural resources and refinement masters, which I doubt we can find here." 

"However, I was fortunate to discover that you are the wielder of the Heavenly Phoenix constitution because, with your assistance, I will be able to heal myself, even though it will take some time for me to fully recover."

Yang Ling was incredibly shocked at what the sword spirit said. After calming down, she asked, "How can my constitution help you recover and heal you?"

The sword spirit closed her eyes for a second, then looked at Yang Ling and said, "First, let me explain in detail the benefits that your constitution granted you. Before we arrived here, I told you that I would explain everything to you about your constitution. Your Heavenly Phoenix Constitution grants you incredible talent in fire cultivation methods and fire martial skills. You will be able to comprehend the fire cultivation methods and fire martial skills faster than many other cultivators. Thanks for awakening your constitution."

"Additionally, your heavenly constitution will heal you completely when you are on the verge of death from injuries you receive, and once you fully recover, you will make a breakthrough in your cultivation."Only your constitution possesses this unique ability, known as the Golden Nirvana."

"Thanks for the Golden Nirvana ability your constitution possessed when you are under going through the healing process. The Golden Nirvana will also start healing me, but I will not be able to be healed completely because of your low cultivation."

Yang Ling's eyes widened when she heard this "incredible," she thought to herself, but the sword spirit continued explaining, "I mentioned to you when you first made a breakthrough in the fundamental spiritual body cultivation method that you possessed a great amount of the Yin Vital essence, and it will only increase whenever you make a breakthrough."

Yang Ling gave a nod to the sword spirit, who continued, "When you dual cultivate, you will absorb a significant amount of the Yang Vital essence, significantly more than normal." This will significantly enhance your cultivation."

Yang Ling exclaimed in disbelief, "This is completely absurd; is she urging me to have sex?" She thought to herself, "Whenever you lose your virginity, you will go back to being virgin again thanks to your heavenly constitution, which is another of the Heavenly Phoenix Constitution's unique abilities." 

Yang Ling was speechless when she heard this. "This is clearly insane," she thought, but the sword spirit interrupted her thought and said, "What I am going to do now is purify the monster cores from their violent energy inside of them, and then you will start absorbing the spiritual energy just like how the cultivation method instructed, but first I will pass a sword art to you because I will go into deep slumber after this, and I don't know when I will wake up."

Yang Ling nodded to the sword spirit, who pointed her index finger at Yang Ling. A ray of light hit Yang Ling's forehead, and information then rushed into her brain. "Unbreakable Sword Art is a foundational sword art that covers all foundational aspects of sword-wielding art."

The sword spirit interrupted Yang Ling as she was thoroughly studying the sword art, saying to her, "Listen carefully, girl, in regards to weapons." "I can only assist you with swordsmanship; my master and her disciples all wield a sword." "If you feel uncomfortable with a sword or fancy another weapon, then change to another weapon when you join a sect."

Yang Ling nodded her head in understanding of what the sword spirit said. The sword spirit then hovered above the monster cores and said, "I will start purifying the monster cores from their violent energies, and when I give you the signal, you will start absorbing the spiritual energy from them."

When the sword spirit saw Yang Ling nodding to her, she closed her eyes, and all the monster cores started hovering in the air around the sword spirit. The monster cores started making hissing sounds around the sword spirit, and after a few minutes, the sword spirit's face became pale, and then her figure started becoming transparent. She then said to Yang Ling in urgency, "Start absorbing the spiritual energy of the monster cores, just like the cultivation method instructed."

Yang Ling closed her eyes and started absorbing the spiritual energy of the monster cores. The sword spirit started helping Yang Ling absorb the spiritual energy faster by pushing the spiritual energy towards Yang Ling.

Yang Ling cultivation was rapidly progressing; it only took a day to reach the fourth layer of the fundamental spiritual body and two days to reach the final layer.

Yang Ling's skin started to glow with rainbow-colored light. When the sword spirit saw this, she smiled and said, "Perfect." 

The rainbow-colored light died down after ten minutes, and Yang Ling's body became more curvaceous. She opened her eyes and saw the sword spirit smiling at her while looking pale; her body became transparent.

"Sword spirit, what happened?" Why do you look transparent?" The sword spirit sighed, "I told you I am very weak right now. This is the result of me helping you absorb the monster cores, and now I will need to go to deep sleep for some time. Let us not waste anymore time. I will seal myself inside of you now. Get ready."

Yang Ling nodded. The sword spirit returned to the golden fairy sword, which shot like an arrow at Yang Ling before disappearing inside Yang Ling's body.

After the golden fairy sword disappeared inside Yang Ling, she smiled in amazement. "Incredible. This is really a magical world." She smiled, then decided to check out the unbreakable sword art. "The unbreakable sword art has five layers: unbreakable defence, unbreakable swing, unbreakable counter, unbreakable dance, and unbreakable control."

Yang Ling started practicing the unbreakable sword art with one of the swords she found in the space rings. She practiced diligently for a week while hunting first-rank monster beasts to eat when she got hungry.

She found herself mastering the sword art with incredible speed, and right now she was trying to figure out a way to exit the Silver Mountains Range.

Yang Ling was walking to find a way out of the Silver Mountains Range when she suddenly heard a rustling sound in the bushes near her, and five crimson foxes, like monster beasts, lunged at her all at once.

Out of instinct, Yang Ling rolled to the ground, dodging the five foxes. The foxes then surrounded Yang Ling in all directions, growling at her "GGGGRRRAAAOOO.".

Yang Ling narrowed her eyes and brought her sword in front of her, ready to defend herself.

The foxes started lunging at Yang Ling again, but Yang Ling's sword danced elegantly in the air, deflecting the claws and fangs of the crimson monster beasts.

Yang Ling's eyes shone, and she swung her sword after deflecting a claw from one of the crimson foxes, beheading it "SQUASH."

After beheading the crimson fox, the other crimson foxes started growling in anger at Yang Ling when they saw how she beheaded one of their own "GGGGRRRRAAAAOOO.".

The crimson foxes started charging at Yang Ling in anger; their eyes turned red as they charged at Yang Ling with the intent to tear her into shreds.

Whenever Yang Ling's sword danced in the air, it would cut the crimson foxes in half. "SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH," and after a couple of breaths, the crimson foxes collapsed into the ground in pieces.

Yang Ling sighed in relief after cutting the last crimson fox monster beast, but all of a sudden, she stiffened when she heard a very loud, angry roar from the depths of the Silver Mountains Range. "GGGGRRRRAAAAOOOO." It froze her in terror.

A huge crimson fox with four tails comes rushing in Yang Ling direction from the depths of the Silver Mountain Range.

Yang Ling froze in fear when the four-tailed crimson fox appeared in front of her. The four-tailed crimson fox was huge; it was way larger than the crimson foxes she dealt with; it was ten times bigger than an African tiger.

The four-tailed crimson fox raised its paw, ready to finish Yang Ling once and for all, but out of nowhere, a huge golden sword qi came flying at the four-tailed crimson fox. 

The golden sword qi clashed against the four-tailed crimson fox's claws ("CCCCHHHKKK"), preventing the claw from shredding Yang Ling into pieces.

A beautiful middle-aged woman appeared in front of Yang Ling like a ghost, raised her sword again in the air, and spoke with her melodious voice. "Be gone, vile creature."

The middle-aged woman had long dark red hair, blue eyes, a cold, pretty face, a curvaceous body, rosy lips, plump round breasts, and soft pale skin; her beauty could bring down a kingdom to its knees.

The middle-aged woman swung her sword again, cutting one of the fox's limbs. "GGGGGGGRRRRRAAAAOOO," the fox roared in pain, but the red-haired middle-aged woman didn't care; she raised her sword again and beheaded the four-tailed crimson fox.

Yang Ling was astonished at the sword skills she witnessed from the middle-aged woman with red hair. The middle-aged woman turned to Yang Ling and said with her sweet voice, "Are you alright?"

Yang Ling cupped her fist and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving me. I am forever grateful to you."

The red-haired middle-aged woman nodded to Yang Ling, and then she frowned. "What you are doing in the Silver Mountains Range here is dangerous for someone like you."

Yang Ling sighed but decided to be truthful to her savior. She told her how her father sold her to the White Pleasure House and how she ended up in the Silver Mountains Range, but she didn't tell her about the golden fairy sword, the sword spirit, or her heavenly constitution.

When she heard this, the middle-aged woman's eyes darkened. She looked deeply at Yang Ling. She raised an eyebrow and said to Yang Ling, "Give me your hand."

Yang Ling complied, and the middle-aged woman held Yang Ling's wrist and closed her eyes.

After a few moments, the middle-aged woman looked at Yang Ling in surprise. "I can tell that you cultivated a body cultivation method, but you told me you couldn't cultivate, and that was the reason why your father sold you."

Yang Ling nodded. "After I almost died when the assassins attacked me, I tried to cultivate, and I found I was able to cultivate, so I decided to cultivate the basic body cultivation method I read back in the clan."

The middle-aged woman nodded in understanding. "Do you want to join a sect?" Yang Ling's eyes widened for a second, and she nodded. "Yes, I plan on joining a sect after I leave the Silver Mountains Range, but I want to join a sect with a big heritage away from the White Star Kingdom."

The middle-aged woman smiled when she heard this: "How about joining the sect that I belong to? We have a 1000-year-long heritage, and we are located in the Moon Star Kingdom."

Yang Ling widened her eyes when she heard, "This is the perfect chance for me." She smiled and said, "I would love to join senior."

The middle-aged woman smiled elegantly and said, "Good, but you need to understand one thing first. In order for you to enter the main sect, you will need to prove yourself worthy to high-ranking members of the sect. To do that, you must first join a small subsidiary sect that belongs to our main sect." If you advance your cultivation quickly and prove your worth, you will be able to join the main sect only if you pass the main sect trial. Are you still willing to join?"

Yang Ling nodded happily and said, "Senior, I have no problem with that." The middle-aged woman nodded in satisfaction when she heard Yang Ling's answer. After that, they extracted the monster cores from the corpses of the monster beasts, and they then started leaving the Silver Mountains Range. It took them four days to leave the Silver Mountains Range. They then began their journey to the Moon Star Kingdom.
