Good Fortune Immortal Road

Chapter 30: Four Elephant Sword Qi

After Fairy Yuli showcased her Boundless Starry Sea Formation, the four individuals' enthusiasm for formations instantly soared. They never expected formations to have such a powerful effect.

The group began discussing eagerly, wanting to know how this formation was formed. Fairy Yuli smiled and explained, "This formation was bestowed upon me by my mentor. Back then, my mentor collected a lot of Star Sand in order to obtain the flags for this formation. Star Sand is a precious essence left behind when stars are destroyed. Only by refining a large amount of Star Sand can the true effect of the stars be formed."

They never expected that there would be such precious things within this set of flags, and that they were left behind after the destruction of stars. No wonder the formed stars appeared so real.

Shen Lang was very interested in this formation and curiously asked Fairy Yuli, "Master, what kind of basic formation does this formation belong to?"

Fairy Yuli had already anticipated that Shen Lang would ask this question and smiled as she said, "This formation is not only composed of one type of formation. It includes the Three Powers and Four Elephants formations, and more importantly, it evolves the celestial changes of the heavens."

Shen Lang pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "Formations are inseparable from the opening of heaven and earth, the changes of mountains, rivers, and stars, encompassing everything in nature. No wonder its power is so strong."

They never expected Shen Lang to have such insight. Fairy Yuli couldn't help but feel happy that her beloved disciple had such talent. However, she added, "In fact, besides this natural path, there are also other types of formations. But I am not very skilled in this type of formation."

Shen Lang and the others couldn't help but be curious and asked, "There are other types of formations? What kind of formations are they?"

"Those in the demonic path emphasize manipulating the hearts of people. There are many formations that can stir up one's inner demons. These formations are ever-changing and unpredictable, but they also belong to the basic formations known as the Six Paths Formation. This type of formation is rarely passed down, but I have heard about it from my master." They never expected that there would be formations that could manipulate people's hearts. Shen Lang and the others were deeply impressed by the vastness and profundity of formations.

Fairy Yuli then demonstrated some basic formations, such as the Concealment Formation that hides one's aura, and some illusion formations specifically designed to trap enemies. These were the most basic formations.

Afterwards, Fairy Yuli took out some low-level flags and let the others practice on their own. Shen Lang quickly set up several simple formations with the help of the Good Fortune Jade Butterfly. His understanding of formations was unmatched by others.

The Good Fortune Jade Butterfly not only records various formations, but can also deduce the changes in formations. However, it had no reaction in the Boundless Starry Sea Formation before, indicating that the level of the formation was too high and Shen Lang's insight had not reached that level yet.

The others watched as Shen Lang quickly set up formations, feeling envious in their hearts. When it was their turn, the three of them became a bit flustered. Except for Jiang Yingxue, An Fu and Jiang Tao were quite interested in formations, but unfortunately, their talent in this area was lacking.

In terms of talent in cultivation, they might only be one level lower than Shen Lang, but in other areas, they were more than a star away from him. Who could have imagined that Shen Lang's Good Fortune Jade Butterfly was so extraordinary?

Sighing, An Fu and Jiang Tao felt somewhat unwilling. They couldn't learn such a powerful ability, but they could only blame themselves for not having the talent in this area.

Yuli Fairy encouraged the two of them. Their cultivation level is still too low, and besides talent, they need to practice more in formations. Even if they haven't mastered it yet, understanding this knowledge will be very helpful for their future cultivation path.

An Fu and Jiang Tao nodded with a gloomy expression, but they were still very happy for Shen Lang, their leader, for being able to grasp it so quickly.

Looking at the four people who had a deep bond, Yuli Fairy also felt happy for them. It had been many years since she had people like them by her side. Among the disciples who entered together with her, how many could be like them? Either they fell halfway or their cultivation level was too far behind. Now, when they saw Yuli Fairy, they would be respectful. A slight difference in their cultivation path could mean a thousand miles of distance. But fortunately, there was that rascal Jiu Jian. Thinking of this, Yuli Fairy couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Today's formation teaching ended like this, and the four of them resumed their individual cultivation. An Fu and the others were just one step away from reaching the Meridian Opening stage. Maybe they could break through in the next few days. Shen Lang also had other things to practice, such as swordsmanship and breakthroughs in spell levels. Since the last time he completed his spell practice, Shen Lang had a clear path to improving his spell level.

Although the Yin Fire Curse was still at Rank One, Shen Lang was confident that he could raise its level within a few days. By then, its power would not be easily shattered by a punch like before.

The four of them found a place each to cultivate in peace. This continued for a month, with Yuli Fairy explaining the ways of formations to them every day.

Relying on the advantage of the Good Fortune Jade Butterfly, Shen Lang made rapid progress and completely mastered what Yuli Fairy had taught in a day. Although the other three could barely understand, they were far behind Shen Lang in terms of formation changes and deductions.

Yuli Fairy also noticed the gap in talent among the four of them, but their cultivation levels were still too low for them to grasp many high-level contents.

Yuli Fairy gave Shen Lang a jade scroll and told him that it contained some of her experiences in formations when she was young. Shen Lang was excited. He didn't expect his master to give him such a precious item.

Yuli Fairy patted Shen Lang's shoulder with a smile. Besides her disciples, only Jiu Jian, the Old Ancestor of Wine and Sword, could make her do such a thing. Moreover, Shen Lang had astonishing talent in formations.

Over the years, Yuli Fairy had seen many young disciples with amazing talent in formations, but in terms of talent alone, Shen Lang could at least rank in the top three.

One morning, after Shen Lang finished practicing the Four Elephant Sword Technique, he felt that the power of this sword technique still didn't meet his expectations.

Jiu Jian, who was holding a gourd and taking sips from time to time, saw Shen Lang standing there in distress and asked, "Lang'er, what's bothering you?"

Shen Lang was deep in thought and didn't notice that his master had been observing him for a while.

Just when he wanted to consult his master about a cultivation problem, Shen Lang said, "Master, I'm a bit confused. I feel like I haven't fully unleashed the power of the Four Beasts Holy Sword Technique. I wonder what the reason is."

Taking a sip of wine, Swordmaster Jiu Jian wiped the corner of his mouth and explained to Shen Lang, "Lang'er, you can already summon the virtual images of the Four Beasts, which is already quite impressive in terms of power. However, there is still one crucial thing missing."

"What is that crucial thing?" Shen Lang asked, puzzled.

"Sword Qi. The reason you feel the lack of power is because of Sword Qi," Swordmaster Jiu Jian explained, taking another sip of wine and smiling at Shen Lang.

"But I have been able to emit Sword Qi for a long time. Why would it be because of Sword Qi?" Shen Lang was extremely puzzled by this answer.

"Hahaha, that's because your Sword Qi is only activated by your own True Qi and cannot carry the corresponding Four Beasts Spiritual Qi," Swordmaster Jiu Jian finally understood the problem.

Shen Lang continued to ask, "Then how should I enhance the power of my Sword Qi?"

With a smile, Swordmaster Jiu Jian took out a small box from his pocket. Shen Lang stared at this unremarkable box, wondering if it was the key to solving his Sword Qi problem.

Shen Lang took the box and opened it, and was surprised to find four pieces of highly spiritual materials inside. After careful examination, Shen Lang discovered that they were exactly the treasures that corresponded to the Four Beasts Spiritual Qi.

There was the blazing and intimidating fire-type treasure, Nanming Lihuo; the water that commanded all, Xuan Yin Water; the explosive and restless pure yang Heavenly Thunder Pearl; and the condensed Qian Kun Xun Feng.

Holding these treasures, Shen Lang looked at his master in confusion. The master explained with a smile, "These items happen to be Apex Level spiritual materials that correspond to the Four Beasts Spiritual Qi. Lang'er, you need to integrate these Apex Level spiritual materials into your body. After integrating them, the power of your Sword Qi will definitely increase significantly."

Shen Lang finally understood that these treasures were extremely rare, and after integrating them into his Sword Qi, they would unleash the unique effects of these treasures.

At that time, the power of Shen Lang's Sword Qi would be incomparable to before. Thinking of this, Shen Lang couldn't wait to go into seclusion and integrate these treasures into his Sword Qi.

However, his master was still there. How could Shen Lang be so impolite? Swordmaster Jiu Jian could see Shen Lang's eagerness.

"Don't be impatient, Lang'er. Let me explain the details to you," Swordmaster Jiu Jian patiently began to explain some of the intricacies to Shen Lang.

These four Apex Level spiritual materials are inherently extremely explosive. Without special techniques, ordinary people would be crushed to pieces just by touching them.

Although Shen Lang has made some progress in his cultivation, he is still helpless against these Apex Level treasures. Therefore, Old Ancestor Jiu Jian taught Shen Lang the secret techniques among them.

After listening, Shen Lang hurriedly went into seclusion to cultivate. As long as he can cultivate these four sword auras, the power of this sword technique can be greatly enhanced. By then, Shen Lang's combat power will be comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Shen Lang is in a quiet room, adjusting his own aura to the most perfect state, and then slowly taking out the Xuan Yin Water among them.

Among these treasures, Xuan Yin Water is considered the mildest. According to the teachings of Old Ancestor Jiu Jian, the human body has five elements, and the kidneys belong to water. By continuously swallowing and spitting, the Xuan Yin Water is absorbed into the kidneys.

Holding the Xuan Yin Water in his hand, Shen Lang continuously absorbs the spiritual energy in it according to the secret technique, slowly gathering it in his kidneys. In an instant, Shen Lang feels that his kidneys are icy cold, and his waist seems to be stronger.

Slowly, Shen Lang completely absorbs the Xuan Yin Water in his hand. However, this is only the first step. After absorbing the Xuan Yin Water, he still needs to use the secret technique to form a unique Tai Yin True Martial sword aura.

This is the main content for Shen Lang next. He operates the Four Images Holy Spirit Sword Technique, and the image of the Black Tortoise slowly forms in his kidneys.

The Black Tortoise continuously swallows and spits the Xuan Yin Water in the kidneys, and its image continues to form until all the Xuan Yin Water is absorbed. Finally, the Black Tortoise becomes more vivid, and every move is filled with sharp sword aura.

This is the first Tai Yin True Martial sword aura condensed by Shen Lang. There are three more sword auras waiting for Shen Lang to continue cultivating.

A pitch-black sword aura emerges on his fingertip, giving off a chilling feeling, and the water vapor in it fills the entire quiet room.

Shen Lang carefully observes this sword aura. Compared to the sword aura he used to activate solely with his True Qi, this cultivated sword aura is more condensed and its power is dozens of times stronger. Moreover, it has its own unique attributes and can perfectly unleash the power of the Four Images Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

After successfully condensing the first sword aura, Shen Lang continues to work hard and begins to cultivate the other sword auras. Soon, he completes the Southern Bright Departing Fire sword aura, Pure Yang Heavenly Thunder sword aura, and Infinite Xun Wind sword aura.

With these four sword auras, Shen Lang's sword technique becomes even more powerful. Apart from not yet mastering the final formation of the sword auras, Shen Lang has already reached a high level in this sword technique.

After practicing for these days, Shen Lang finally completes the cultivation of these four sword auras. The first thing Shen Lang wants to do is to test the power of this sword technique.
