eep look, this was also a test.He believed in the Cloud Wanderer's character, but wealth moved people's hearts.May the hearts of old friends remain unchanged!Seeing Qin Sang agree, Yun Youzi's express...Having planted the Nine Illusion Heavenly Orchid, Qin Sang closed his cave abode. He took out the Five Elements Breaking Sword, refined it well, and then put it aside for now. He calmed his mind and focused on reading the "Yuan Shen Yang Jian Chapter."
The fragment of the 《元神養劍章》 contains five layers of practice methods. The first layer focuses on guiding practitioners to draw their swords into their spirit, nurture their spiritual essence with the sword, and visualize killing talismans. Only after the second layer can one truly embark on the path of cultivation. The second to fourth layers correspond to the foundation building stage, and the fifth layer corresponds to the early Jindan stage. After that, the fragment is incomplete.
Just looking at the first level of cultivation process is enough to give you goosebumps.
Though Qin Sang had the Jade Buddha's protection and was not afraid of the murderous intent eroding his sanity, he still felt a little apprehensive reading through it all.
When one draws the sword into their spirit, the primordial spirit will first be subjected to the pain of being cut by the spiritual sword. When the spiritual sword is entrusted to the primordial spirit for nourishment and fusion, it is even more crucial to constantly endure the agony of sword qi searing the soul.
During cultivation, one must possess a powerful willpower to be able to focus their mind and enter deep meditation. After condensing the first killing talisman, sword energy will flow in and out of the heart, and this is when the situation will slowly improve.
The training of the primordial spirit, is also the process of refining a sword.
Each level of the technique requires visualization of the killing talismans within it during cultivation. The purest intent of killing is channeled into the primordial spirit, using the primordial spirit as a furnace to temper the spiritual sword with the intent of killing. This continues until a killing talisman is engraved onto the blade.

Once the killing talisman is inscribed, the sword's aura inherently carries ultimate killing intent.
When facing an opponent, the spirit sword emerges, releasing a burst of killing intent that is awe-inspiring. Those with weak wills might even be terrified into submission by this overwhelming aura of death, losing without ever fighting.

In addition, the killing talisman can also help cultivators attract spirits into their bodies, improving their cultivation speed. This is also why Qin Sang ultimately chose this method without hesitation.

He was limited by his talent, and he had to seize every opportunity to improve his cultivation speed. A single killing talisman might not be enough to make up for his talent deficiency, but as his realm improved, after condensing two or three killing talismans, his cultivation speed might even rival that of a true spirit root cultivator. This was something he had never dared to think about before.

No wonder Senior Qingzhu's cultivation speed was so fast. His talent wasn't as pitiful as Qin Sang's. With the boost from the killing talisman, he surpassed even true geniuses, but he paid the price of a split soul and became half-crazy. Now, it is unknown whether he is alive or dead.
Moreover, the "Yuan Shen Yang Jian Zhang" sets higher requirements for cultivators. They must also possess a high-quality spiritual sword that fuses with their primordial spirit, serving as their life-bound spiritual sword in this vital practice of shared existence.

A killing talisman is the ultimate embodiment of lethal intent, condensed into a symbol.
This is a placeholder for the end of a paragraph.
This inscription is engraved on the body of a spirit sword, so the requirements for the spirit sword itself are extremely high. If the material and strength of the spirit sword are insufficient, before the killing talisman can be fully condensed, the spirit sword will collapse by itself because it cannot withstand the pressure.
If it were someone else, one would have to choose a suitable top-grade or excellent-grade magic weapon. Qin Sang could simply use his blackwood sword.
The ebony sword was originally a fragment of a magical artifact, its strength unquestionable, but it still couldn't fully meet the requirements of the technique.
The Spirit Sword Chapter requires the sword's material to be pure to the extreme. Only one of the five elemental materials - gold, wood, water, fire, or earth - can be chosen. A mixed material cannot withstand the pressure of the killing talisman.
The ebony sword was later commissioned by the Song family to be reforged by a master weapon smith. Though it became usable by cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, impurities were added to the spiritual sword, and its quality was far inferior to that of the original artifact. These impurities all needed to be refined away by Qin Sang during the process of nourishing the sword with his primordial spirit.
According to Qin Sang's estimation, the ebony sword could withstand at least two killing talismans, supporting his breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
After refining away all impurities on the ebony sword, it transformed into a sword embryo. From then on, Qin Sang would collect as many spirit woods as possible and refine them little by little into the sword embryo, strengthening the ebony sword.
When the Ebony Sword fuses with enough Spirit Wood, according to the cultivation technique, if the sword's material is strong enough, after reaching the fourth layer of realm, which is the later stage of foundation building, and after inscribing the fourth killing talisman, the power of the Spirit Sword will be comparable to that of a low-grade magic weapon!
This sword, will also be one of his natal magic treasures after he breaks through the Golden Core stage.
It is considered one of the wonders of The Chapter of Spiritual Sword Cultivation because after breaking through the Golden Elixir stage, the spiritual sword cultivated through intercourse does not occupy a place among a cultivator's main magical treasures.
If a cultivator is wealthy and generous, they could completely refine another magic treasure to store in their dantian, warming it with the dan fire.
However, the Yuanshen Yangjianzhang is an incomplete text. There are no subsequent cultivation methods after breaking through the mid-stage of Jindan. If one switches to another cultivation method, they will have to give up their natal spirit sword and turn it into an ordinary magic treasure.
Of course, these were not within Qin Sang's consideration for the time being. As for a natal spirit sword comparable to a magic treasure at the Qi Refining stage, he could only watch with envy.
After refining out the impurities, only a small piece of artifact fragment remained from the ebony sword. The gap between it and a true artifact was immeasurable. How many wood-based spiritual materials would it take to fuse with it and reach the quality of an artifact
After obtaining the Meta-Spirit Sword Cultivation Treatise, Qin Sang also checked the manuals on refining magical artifacts at Baota Peak.
>
Golden Core Stage cultivators, in order to refine their natal magic treasures, have to travel the world, painstakingly seeking rare materials. They venture into dangerous and secret realms, spending decades or even several lifetimes to barely gather enough spiritual materials.
Some Jindan stage cultivators even still use top-grade magic artifacts and talismans to put on a show.
Even Qin Sang, who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, if he didn't practice every day and spent his whole life running around, maybe he could gather enough spirit wood in his lifetime with some luck. But his cultivation time would be completely wasted. What use would a magic treasure be without cultivation
Unless Qin Sang could find the legendary ten divine trees of the Immortal Cultivation world, it would be impossible for him to achieve this in one go. In the Foundation Establishment period, it would be unlikely for him to possess a spirit sword comparable to a genuine magic treasure.
And those ten divine trees only exist in ancient texts and legends. Even if they once existed in the mortal realm, it was during the prehistoric era when spiritual energy was abundant and heaven's gifts were readily available. Now they are long gone.
Qin Sang read The Chapter of Cultivating the Divine Soul and Sword from beginning to end, paying special attention to the five killing talismans in the cultivation method. They were profound and mysterious, each with a different form, but they all radiated an awe-inspiring killing intent.
The first two were fine, but the fifth one was a killing talisman. Qin Sang didn't even dare to use his divine sense to touch it.
If it weren't for the Jade Buddha helping him maintain his integrity, the moment he made contact, he would be pulled into a bloody battlefield illusion by the killing talisman. He would be consumed by terrifying murderous intent, his mind devoured, and he would become a mindless zombie.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling, completely motionless. He was absorbed in contemplating the "Yǔanshén Yǎngjiàn Zhāng" (Cultivating Nascent Soul with a Sword).
Ten days later, Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes. His heart moved, and the ebony sword flew out of his dantian, hovering in front of him.
Qin Sang recalled the requirements of the first layer of "The Chapter of Nurturing a Divine Sword," which stated that one should use their divine consciousness to stimulate spiritual energy and carve runes onto the ebony sword.
In a short while, the ebony sword was covered with intricate arcane runes, and the spiritual blade underwent a drastic transformation.
Qin Sang stared at the ebony sword for a long time, her eyes gradually firming up. Finally, she took a deep breath and introduced the ebony sword into her sea of consciousness, placing it in front of her soul.
