my enchanting runes. I defeated seven enemies and earned a small amount of military merit, which I exchanged for some Xu Shao washing soul water. That too is a battle of souls, but it's more obvious t...Within the mirage, Lu Ye held the Pianshan Sword, his whole body covered in blood. The last monster was beheaded by him, the ground littered with emerald green blood and severed limbs and entrails of the monsters. After days of effort, he finally slaughtered all nine monsters that appeared simultaneously!

Although his injuries were severe, to the point of dizziness, he did not let his guard down. He remained wary because he didn't know if ten monsters might suddenly appear next. If that happened, he would have no choice but to expose himself.

Ahead, a mist churned and billowed, from which a figure stepped out.

Lu Ye fixed his gaze, and his eyes widened in astonishment. He hadn't expected that within this mirage, there were not only oddly shaped insects and monsters, but also humans!

It is inaccurate to call this person, for the one who came was shrouded in mist from head to toe. Their features were obscured, and it was impossible to tell male or female.

This is clearly not a real person, but rather a mystical illusion of the mirage itself.

This guy is actually a Level Seven cultivator.

After the nine-turn worm monster charged past, a figure of a cultivator appeared, which he didn't expect. However, it was something he was happy to see.

While slaying those insect monsters certainly hones one's combat skills, it ultimately lacks significance. In the Lingxi battlefield, his opponents are cultivators from Wanmo Ridge. Insects transforming into cultivators aligns much better with his needs.

I don't know if I'll need to kill bugs again next time. It would be a hassle if I did, so he secretly prayed that it wouldn't be necessary.

Compared to dealing with insects, he would much rather fight that Mist Cultivator. The power the other displayed was indeed what a Seventh Layer cultivator should possess, and it was even among the best of the Seventh Layer cultivators.

I can only wait until tomorrow to verify it.

He swallowed two pills, then took out the book of scriptures he had brought back from Lady Yun and began to read it.

After half a day, fatigue receded and his spiritual energy was replenished.

He began to construct the spirit runes thirty.

Whether it's a good mood or a good touch, today I actually molded it in one go!

The spirit pattern dissipated, and I tried to reconstruct it again, but failed.

Though there was a successful experience, things became much simpler afterward. The third build was successful, the fourth failed, the fifth succeeded, the sixth succeeded...

Luyu practiced again and again, seeking feel in success and accumulating lessons and experience in failure. After dozens of attempts, the success rate reached about 70%.

This success rate is already not low, it should have met Yunfu's requirements, in other words, he can go to Yunfu for the next step of learning.

An hour later, Lu Ye appeared on Mingxin Peak, sitting opposite Yun Fu Ren.

"You've reached the Seventh Layer" Shui Yuan looked at Lu Ye in surprise, astonished by his cultivation speed. "That makes sense, though. At the Seventh Layer, you can indeed begin studying the Way of Armaments."

Luyi came to Shuiyuan for a very simple reason. He encountered too many Qi Refinement Stage Seven cultivators in the Chess Sea, envious of those fellows who had been able to wield weapons and kill enemies for a long time. Now that he had finally cultivated to the Qi Refinement Stage Seven himself, he naturally hurried over to ask for advice.

"But to be honest, the way of weaponry isn't really my forte." Shui Yuan said, her eyes lighting up, "You should send a message to your fourth senior brother. He excels in this path, and he would be the most suitable teacher for you."

"Fourth Senior Brother ...Then let me ask."

After getting a delicious meal from her second senior sister, replenishing her energy, and having Amber suck on a bloodline from within one of her scales, Lu Ye returned to the training room at the garrison without stopping.

Please note that the `

` tag is already in English.

Li Baxian was also a little surprised that Lu Ye had reached the seventh level so quickly. Hearing that he came to ask him for advice on the way of wielding artifacts, he naturally knew everything and told him everything.

Although face-to-face instruction is not possible, this kind of communication exchange is actually not much different.

Li Baxian patiently explained the intricacies of various protective weapons to Lu Ye. Li Baxian finally said, "Little junior brother, practice first, and ask me if you have any questions at any time."

Thank you, senior brother!

He drew out the Pianshan Sword, placing it on his knee. He then channeled his spiritual energy into it.

According to Li Baxian, cultivators in the Lingxi Realm primarily use spiritual power to wield weapons. Therefore, there are high requirements for their spiritual power. The purer the spiritual power, the greater the power of the weapon and the faster its speed. There is also a weapon distance issue. Generally speaking, cultivators at the seventh level have a weapon range of about thirty meters. However, the purer the spiritual power, the farther the distance can be. This is undoubtedly advantageous when fighting enemies.

At the same time, using a magic weapon also places extremely high demands on a cultivator's mastery over their own spiritual energy. The degree of control over one's spiritual energy directly affects the speed and distance of the magic weapon.

Speed and distance are the two major factors in using a weapon to kill an enemy, while the purity and control of one's spiritual energy are the two requirements for wielding a weapon.

When cultivators of the same level fight each other, the one with the advantage in speed and distance is undoubtedly stronger. Of course, the lethality of the spiritual artifact itself also plays a role.

My heart was pounding with anxiety for a while, but when I looked up, there was no sign of Lu Ye anywhere. Then I patted my chest and let out a sigh of relief., Lu Ye slashed down with his sword.She was bound with immortal ropes and had no chance to break free. At this moment..."Do you have the strength to withstand this I thought that under my senior broth...
