This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Looking at the Experience Points on the panel, Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment about how to use them and quickly made a decision.

"You spend five thousand Experience Points, Peach Blossom Sword level up: LV2(0/5w)----All Sword Techniques executed with this Life-bound Sword receive +10% damage!"

"You spend fifty thousand Experience Points, Peach Blossom Sword level up: LV3(0/50w)----All Sword Techniques executed with this Life-bound Sword receive +15% damage!"

Inside his Dantian, a mung-bean-sized Purple-Gold Golden Pill was suspended, its value ineffable.

Beside the Golden Pill were the Dragon Sparrow Sword and Peach Blossom Sword.

Spiritual Power intermittently overflowed from the Purple-Gold Golden Pill, silently merging into the two swords.

At this moment, countless specks of light emerged out of thin air within the Golden Pill, surging toward the Peach Blossom Sword.

The dull surface of the Peach Blossom Sword, nourished by these specks of light, suddenly became ensnared in a layer of lustrous sheen.

Only after the specks of light had fully merged into the sword did the Peach Blossom Sword revert to its original simple appearance.

Lu Qingshan did not hesitate with the remaining 450,000 Experience Points, keeping 50,000 as a contingency and pouring the rest of the 400,000 into the Taoist Treasury Cultivation Technique.

"[Taoist Treasury]upgraded to lv6, Spiritual Power Value +1000!"

"Your Rank has risen to Golden Core Middle Stage, Divine Sense +50!"

"Your Spiritual Power Value limit has exceeded 10,000, Talent [Spiritual Power Control] (High Level) has evolved into [Spiritual Power Genesis] (Primary Level)!"

[Spiritual Power Genesis] (Primary Level): As your Cultivation improves, your control over Spiritual Power becomes more exquisite, and its power becomes increasingly formidable. Spiritual Power Amplification +40%

"[Taoist Treasury]upgraded to lv7, Spiritual Power Value +1000!"

....

"[Taoist Treasury]upgraded to lv10, Spiritual Power Value +1000!"

Pure Spiritual Power inexplicably surged through Lu Qingshan's meridians, all pouring into his Dantian.

This Spiritual Power constantly condensed in the Dantian, and as the Purple-Gold Golden Pill rotated, it formed a cyclone that quickly merged into the Golden Pill.

Within a moment, the mung-bean-sized Golden Pill had swollen to the size of a broad bean.

Lu Qingshan instantly reached the peak of the Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivation.

A powerful Strength coursed through his entire body.

This was the longest time Lu Qingshan had ever taken to break through a realm, from the Golden Core Early Stage to the Golden Core Middle Stage, costing him over a year's time.

Putting aside the increased Cultivation, as the Talent for Spiritual Power Control upgraded to Spiritual Power Genesis, countless mysteries now spontaneously emerged within his Primordial Spirit, enabling him to integrate and grasp them instantly, thus making the use of his own Spiritual Power all the more adept.

With a Spiritual Power Amplification of +40%, the external manifestation is that a Flying Sword cast with the same amount of Spiritual Power will have its power increased by forty percent.

To give a simple example, now he could cast a Flying Sword with a hundred points of Spiritual Power whose potency would be equivalent to that of a Flying Sword cast without this Talent, using one hundred and forty points of Spiritual Power.

This is also why High Level Cultivators, even when they suppress their Cultivation to Lower Grades, can often easily crush Lower Grade Cultivators.

Because not to mention the mastery of Spells, just the mere application of Spiritual Power alone, there's a world of difference between the two.

Once everything was over, Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and slowly exhaled a deep breath.

Cough!

The next moment, Lu Qingshan was suddenly choked by the violent Spiritual Power.

Because within Fan Tower at that moment, a fierce Spiritual Energy Storm had erupted.

Lu Qingshan turned his gaze to the perpetrator responsible for this intense Spiritual Energy Storm.

It was West Rat King sitting cross-legged on the ground, adopting a posture of cultivation, looking very serious.

"To stir up such an intense Spiritual Energy Storm, it looks like it's finally time for a breakthrough," Lu Qingshan murmured.

"But it's also time for it, considering the Blood Spirit Essence consumed during the Zhenjiang battle and the great benefits received in the Demon Spirit Tomb," he added.

The Spiritual Energy in Qingfeng Realm was extremely abundant to begin with, not to mention the added boost from the Spirit Gathering Array in Fan Tower, making the Spiritual Power incredibly dense.

For Lu Qingshan, who lacked Spirit Root talent and relied solely on Experience Points to improve Cultivation, this didn't mean much.

But for the West Rat King, this place was without a doubt a Cultivation paradise.

Within this year, Lu Qingshan had swept through various small ruins across Qing State, leaving West Rat King to cultivate in Fan Tower.

It finally allowed West Rat King to reach the bottleneck for a Third Grade breakthrough.

This spiritual energy storm swept through in a wild manner, and the dense spiritual power inside the building was quickly depleted by a great amount as it was absorbed by the Western Rat King, becoming thin.

But by now, the Western Rat King's breakthrough had entered the right track, and the consumption and replenishment of the spiritual power had reached a state of balance.

Lu Qingshan quietly stood by.

After five hours had passed, the Western Rat King's body was enveloped in a red glow, from which an aura that was very familiar to Lu Qingshan seeped out.

Killing intent!

The killing intent of the Gengjin Tiger King.

Boom!

Suddenly, the killing intent surged upwards, and a mysterious star map faintly emerged on the Western Rat King's forehead under Lu Qingshan's astonished gaze.

Upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was shaped remarkably like the character for "King".

This little demon mouse was indeed getting more and more arrogant, even daring to etch the character for king on its face.

Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

The moment the star map appeared, a soul shadow that was both visible and invisible materialized behind the Western Rat King, quickly solidifying.

It was a pure white giant tiger that looked very holy, yet one could feel a chill from its metallic gloss and sternness that radiated from its body.

Moreover, its tiger eyes were blood red.

Indistinctly, an endless ferocity seeped through.

This was an extraordinary fierce tiger!

Roar!

The white giant tiger roared to the sky, and a wave of sound, almost tangible, swept out all at once.

At the same time, a fierce and strong aura burst out from within the Western Rat King.

That aura was the presence of a Third Grade demon beast.

Clearly, the Western Rat King had successfully advanced to the Third Grade.

The next moment.

"Squeak!" The Western Rat King opened its eyes excitedly and squealed.

The star map on its brow disappeared, and the giant tiger soul shadow behind it vanished, the roar's sound also dissipating, with the red glow being completely absorbed into the body of the demon mouse.

"Lu Qingshan, I've finally broken through to the Third Grade!" After sensing the changes in itself, the Western Rat King boastfully clamored, "The Western Rat of Yuanshan of old, is now the fierce tiger of the Qing State!"

"I've reached the Golden Core middle stage," Lu Qingshan stated flatly.

The originally excited Western Rat King was dealt a fatal blow, deflating in enthusiasm on the spot, full of silent resentment, and muttered quietly, "Isn't it a happy day? Could you not say something nice?"

"Now that you've progressed to the Third Grade, you must have some new skills, right?" Lu Qingshan asked curiously.

The Western Rat King nodded its little head vigorously, its spirit rising again, "Of course! I'll show you the new divine skills of Lord Mouse."

The demon mouse eagerly propped itself up, its two front paws came together in a lifting gesture above its head, and under the astonished gaze of Lu Qingshan, it shook rapidly in a dazzling speed.

In the gestures of the Western Rat King, Lu Qingshan could even make out a blossom of a spirit flower.

Then, the star map that had faded from the demon mouse's brow reappeared.

A red glow instantly enveloped the Western Rat King's entire body, and in the next moment, the demon mouse's body began to rapidly enlarge, quickly transforming into a giant tiger with a silver-gray coat, emitting a breathtaking breathing sound, its size almost enough to burst through the building.

"The dragon ascends the mountain while the tiger descents; life and death are not in your control!" From the silver-gray giant tiger, the Western Rat King's proud voice emanated, "Lu Qingshan, now tell me how fierce Lord Mouse is!"

Lu Qingshan's mouth twitched slightly, "What was that hand gesture you just did?"

"It's a transformation gesture I developed!" the giant tiger stated as a matter of course, "Don't you think it looks cool?"

Lu Qingshan fell silent.

But in a moment, the giant tiger shrank back into the Western Rat King's original form.

The demon mouse held its waist, panting tiredly, "Pity this move is fierce indeed, but it's too exhausting. I can't maintain it for long.

Otherwise, I could've solidified my reputation as the fierce tiger of the Qing State."
