Ascension, starting from the Chaos Art of Heaven and Earth

Yang Che realized something was wrong and decided to quietly start refining the 'Pseudo-Ba Pill' that night.

There are still two complete medicinal materials in his storage bag, which he has kept without refining.

Inside the small stone house.

Yang Che adjusted his energy and spirit to the best state.

Then he took out the alchemy furnace, freed up the Nine-Heart Lei Yan, and began to refine the Pseudo-Ba Pill.

Jiuxin Lei Yan seemed to know that the elixir refined by Yang Che was the same one that he had snatched away last time, so he seemed to be particularly energetic.

But in the end, one failed and the other barely succeeded.

Yang Che only got one Pseudo-Ba Pill.

Thinking of the last time Jiuxin Leiyan snatched the elixir, he didn't dare to swallow the elixir rashly.

"Lei Yan, I originally wanted to successfully refine two of them, one for you and me. But now I have only succeeded in refining one, which is difficult. Look, I am eager to restore my cultivation. You can use this one. Don’t grab it. Next time it’s refined, you’ll eat it first, okay?”

Yang Che talked for a long time, but Jiuxin Leiyan remained as usual, without any reaction.

Yang Che thought again and again, then gritted his teeth and simply split the elixir into two halves.

"Lei Yan, one person is half the person, no one is allowed to cheat. Otherwise, I will not refine the fake Ba Dan in the future."

After saying that, he threw half of the pill into his mouth.

As expected, the elixir was directly swept away by the Nine Heart Lei Yan and sank into the Dantian for refining and absorption.

Yang Che immediately threw the other half into his mouth.

This time Jiu Xin Lei Yan really didn't fight for it anymore.

After absorbing half of the Pseudo Tyrant Pill, Yang Che successfully restored his cultivation to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

According to the rules of the Qing Sword Sect, once you reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, you can apply to leave the Sword Cleansing Pond, enter any place in the Xuanqing Mountains except the Nine Peaks, and open a cave.

The next day.

Yang Che submitted the application directly to Jiang Wu.

Seeing that Yang Che had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining so quickly, Jiang Wu couldn't help but become more and more suspicious of Yang Che.

He rejected Yang Che's application on the grounds that he had just arrived and was not familiar with things here.

Yang Che had already expected this.

So although I was depressed, I didn't say much.

In this way, after waiting silently for several days, Yang Che continued to submit his application to leave.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Wu rejected him again.

Another half month passed.

Yang Che submitted again. He wanted to see what other reasons Jiang Wu would use.

Jiang Wu did not refuse this time.

However, he said that Yang Che should complete the beating, quenching and cooling of the last batch of one hundred sword embryos.

Yang Che thought for a while and didn't want to cause any complications, so he agreed.

Sword washing pool.

Jiang Wu specially selected a hundred sword embryos for Yang Che.

He wanted to personally supervise Yang Che's completion.

Yang Che carefully inspected these sword embryos and found that there was nothing wrong with them.

So he put it on the stone platform calcined by ground fire and started beating it.

It went down with a 'bang'.

The sword embryo broke in response.

Yang Che frowned, and then started to beat the second handle.

There was another 'bang' sound, and the sword embryo broke again.

The third one in succession, the fourth one...

After breaking six or seven handles in a row, I succeeded in one.

Then four or five more were broken before one was successful.

In this way, out of a hundred sword embryos, only twenty swords were finally made.

There is a rule in the sword washing pool. If you break one sword embryo, it will be increased to two swords.

So Yang Che's last hundred sticks turned into one hundred and sixty sticks.

Yang Che's consciousness once again carefully scanned the 'new sword embryos' in front of him, confirming several times that there was indeed no problem.

So what exactly is the problem?

Yang Che was eager to leave and continued to beat the sword embryo while looking for the problem.

This time half of them were broken again.

According to the sect’s rules, he still needs to complete the ‘one hundred and sixty handles’.

This is the amount that Yang Che managed to complete with extreme caution. Otherwise, it would definitely become more and more.

Yang Che knew that Jiang Wu was taking revenge on him.

But it's also strange that Yang Che can't find anything wrong with these sword embryos.

Is it a hammer? Calcined stone platform?

Yang Che checked them carefully, but couldn't find any problems.

It's so weird.

Yang Che no longer proceeds blindly, but gives up temporarily.

He began to spend a lot of time thinking and summarizing carefully.

If you were a swordsmith, what should you do with these nearly destroyed sword embryos?

Throw it away or recycle it?

Reinvent the wheel.

"Return to the furnace?"

Yang Che's mind suddenly lit up.

“Those sword embryos that appear to be fine on the surface, are they all remade?”

When Yang Che thought of this, he immediately returned to the sword-washing pool and threw the forged sword embryo into the smelting pool again, where it turned into molten iron and then was cast into a new mold.

Soon, after trying it out, Yang Che discovered that some of these sword embryos were very strong, while others were too fragile.

The sword embryo, which was too fragile, was beaten again and broke immediately.

Yang Che found the problem, but he was still confused, where did Jiang Wu get these recycled sword embryos?

The refurbished sword embryo is also a sword embryo. Even though it can easily lead to failure in beating, Yang Che really can't fault it.

Yang Che originally wanted to report it to the sect or ask for help from other disciples, but after thinking about it he decided to take up this challenge on his own.

Enter the pounding again.

Yang Che first beat him as usual.

Sure enough, there was a sound of breaking after a hammer.

After five consecutive failures, Yang Che began to call out the Nine-Heart Lei Yan. The moment he raised the heavy hammer, he carefully attached the Lei Yan to it, making it impossible for others to see any clues.

"Lei Yan, you will sense it first and help me master the power of the hammer." Yang Che transmitted his thoughts.

After three more failed swords, the following sword embryos all succeeded with the help of Jiuxin Lei Yan.

Jiang Wu was more and more shocked as he watched, and he didn't understand how Yang Che did it.

Yang Che finally left the sword washing pool smoothly.

Jiang Wu was depressed for a long time.

It was not until the day when Jiufeng started to recruit formal disciples again that he found a reason and left the sword washing pool.

However, he was more curious and suspicious of Yang Che. After leaving the sword washing pool, he had more opportunities to take revenge on Yang Che.

According to the sect rules, Jiang Wu knew that Yang Che would definitely open a cave in the Xuanqing Mountains.

So after leaving the sword washing pool, he started searching directly in the Xuanqing Mountains, hoping to find the location of Yang Che's cave in one fell swoop.

After many days of inquiries and tracking.

Jiang Wu finally found the location of Yang Che's cave.

It was the most remote place in the Xuanqing Mountains.

That day and night.

Jiang Wu stopped Yang Che in a dense forest outside the cave.

When Jiang Wu was about to kill Yang Che with a smug look on his face, he found that Yang Che was smiling even more proudly and brilliantly than he was.

Without any nonsense, Yang Che quietly held a piece of medium-grade spiritual stone in his palm, and then launched a fierce attack on Jiang Wu.

After Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, he sneered: "You dare to challenge me with a mere fifth-level garbage mana?"

He threw it casually, and a talisman turned into a spiritual light shield to protect him.

And Yang Che actually rushed straight towards Jiang Wu without any protection.

Jiang Wu couldn't understand Yang Che's suicidal behavior at all. A cold color flashed in his eyes, and the flying sword shot out.

Yang Che's heart was pounding, but he still didn't have any intention of defending.

At the moment when the flying sword shot, Yang Che's mana surged, and his whole body was immediately filled with a metallic luster.

With a loud 'ding' sound, the flying sword hit Yang Che.

Jiang Wu's face was unbelievable.

But Yang Che was ecstatic.

His physical strength had already reached the strength of a high-level magic weapon through his continuous practice of the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art without him noticing.
