Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 27 – Innate Sword Embryo

“Double happiness?” Ning Changge’s heart stirred as he extended his spiritual awareness. A smile crept onto his lips.

Around Song Yuanqiao, invisible pressures were radiating. Grandmaster!

Even though Song Yuanqiao was doing his best to hide it, Ning Changge could see through him with a single glance through his spiritual awareness.

Ning Changge pushed the door open and said with a smile, “I guess the first joy is that your strength has improved, Senior Brothers.”

Song Yuanqiao’s face froze. It was clear he couldn’t hide anything from Ning Changge.

“Nothing can escape your notice, Junior Martial Brother!” Song Yuanqiao said helplessly, but his eyes were filled with immense joy and gratitude.

“I have to thank you for the Jiazi Pill, Junior Martial Brother. Without it, I wouldn’t have broken through to the Grandmaster realm so quickly!” Song Yuanqiao was genuinely delighted and even felt like he was living in a dream.

He couldn’t help but think back to a few years ago when he was just a nobody on Mount Song, not even a Grandmaster. He used to worry about his low talent and often felt that he was disgracing his master while traveling the Jianghu.

But now, five years later, he had become a Grandmaster! In the world of the Jianghu, Grandmasters were absolute powerhouses, surpassing even many sect leaders.

Grandmaster was a significant threshold in the Jianghu, and each step forward in this realm represented a substantial difference in strength. For example, those who forcibly advanced like Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing were far weaker than Grandmasters like the Great Song Five Masters, who could easily defeat the former.

Song Yuanqiao believed that the reason he had reached his current level was due to Ning Changge. First, it was the Yin-Yang Infinite Technique, then the Spiritual Marrow Cleansing, and now the Jiazi Pill. This combination had caused his strength to skyrocket, even if he were as dumb as a pig, he would still advance rapidly.

Moreover, the Seven Heroes were no fools.

Ning Changge smiled and said, “Senior Brothers, there’s no need to be so polite. The help you’ve brought to me, including the Spirit Gathering Stone, goes beyond what you see.”

“What about the other Senior Brothers?”

“This brings us to the second happiness!” To prevent Ning Changge from guessing, Song Yuanqiao spoke quickly, “Leader Yue and the others are here. They’ve brought the Daoist scriptures and spiritual treasures for you. Would you like to meet them? I will have the Daoist scriptures sent to the Scripture chamber later!”

Ning Changge’s eyes brightened. “Sure, I’ll meet them.”

The last time the Wudang Seven Heroes had visited him, they had mentioned that Yue Buqun and the others wanted to exchange talismans for spiritual treasures and had agreed to provide Daoist scriptures as well. This arrangement suited Ning Changge just fine. He didn’t want to get too involved with other people.

…

Mingqing Hall.

Yue Buqun and the others were shocked to see that Zhang Cuishan and the others were emanating powerful auras. It made them rethink their lives.

The faintly oppressive feeling emanating from Zhang Cuishan was even stronger than what Zuo Lengchan and the others had exuded. It was highly likely that he had already reached the Grandmaster realm, and his advancement was far more substantial than Zuo Lengchan’s forced promotion.

What’s more, Mo Shenggu had surpassed his own level, which left Yue Buqun feeling rather bitter.

Back on Mount Song, it was evident that Zhang Cuishan and the others were not displaying their true strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to use talismans to kill Zuo Lengchan and the others.

Now, with just one visit to Wudang, they had made such progress.

Yue Buqun suspected that this had something to do with that monstrous Ning Changge.

“The four sects are truly grateful for Junior Martial Brother’s life-saving talisman and techniques. We heard that Junior Martial Brother has an affinity for spiritual treasures, so we’ve gathered some for you. Please accept them.”

In reality, Yue Buqun and the others didn’t know what exactly qualified as spiritual treasures, but they had paid close attention to what had been taken from Mount Song’s treasury that day and tried to find similar items.

“Let me take a look. If they are useful to me, I won’t take them for nothing,” Ning Changge said.

Ning Changge didn’t want to owe anyone any favors. He took a look at the items and couldn’t help but feel pleased. While most of the items were ordinary, there were quite a few that stood out. In particular, a black and red stone about half the height of a person, shaped like a child, piqued his interest.

“When I saw Senior Brother Song and the others moving a similar stone that day, I took the liberty to gather these. I hope you don’t mind,” Yue Buqun explained.

“Let me have a look,” Ning Changge said, and his spiritual energy delved into the stone.

In the next instant, a look of joy appeared on his face.

This was not a Spirit Gathering Stone, but it was equally impressive. While it looked similar to a Spirit Gathering Stone on the outside, it only had the Gathering Spirit effect on the outer layer. Inside, it contained an incredibly tough sword embryo.

A gift from heaven, an innate sword embryo!

Ning Changge’s lips curved into a slight smile. This was like a timely rain. Just as he had broken through to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement and was preparing to focus on creating the Flying Sword Technique, he received a natural sword embryo. It was a perfect match.

Compared to other spiritual herbs and minerals, the rest of the offerings might seem ordinary. However, the acquisition of this treasure alone made the whole gift worthwhile.

Ning Changge turned to Yue Buqun and the others and said calmly, “I’m very satisfied with the spiritual treasures you’ve brought. If you have any requests, feel free to let me know.”

Ning Changge didn’t want to owe anyone any favors, but he was genuinely pleased with the innate sword embryo.

Yue Buqun and the others were ecstatic!
