56 – Sword Intent

The next day, Zhang Yuan ordered the copper bell to be rung, summoning all elders, deacons, and disciples to appoint Wang Ping as the Supreme Elder.

At the same time, today, the entire Sword Spirit Sect celebrated Wang Ping’s joining.

This news shocked everyone.

Soon after, great joy spread.

After all, such a grand event is rare even in a hundred years, and this grand banquet allowed everyone to drink spiritual wine that is normally hard to come by, which greatly benefits their cultivation.

As the grand banquet began, the usually rarely seen Supreme Elders made appearances one by one, warmly presenting Wang Ping with gifts.

Each gift was extremely valuable, with multiple fourth-grade medicinal herbs, astonishing everyone.

Wang Ping was not surprised by this.

After all, he had already experienced this in the last simulation of his life.

Following that, Wang Ping drank and talked with the important figures of the Sword Spirit Sect, including the Supreme Elders, without missing a single courtesy.

“Bai Tianhong greets the Supreme Elder.”

At this moment, a remarkably handsome young man in white attire approached and bowed slightly to Wang Ping.

“Rumor has it that Bai Tianhong is the greatest genius in the Great Xia. It’s truly better to meet you in person than to hear about you,” Wang Ping looked at Bai Tianhong, a smile spreading across his face as he exclaimed, “You are likely just one step away from comprehending Sword Intent, aren’t you?”

As these words were spoken, everyone was astonished.

Elders and disciples alike displayed looks of amazement.

The Supreme Elders, who already knew, were even more surprised that Wang Ping could see through Bai Tianhong’s secret.

Soon, one of the Supreme Elders furrowed his brow and showed a look of surprise, seeing through Wang Ping’s secret.

“How did you see through it?” Bai Tianhong looked at Wang Ping in surprise, not expecting that this new Supreme Elder could see through his secret at a glance.

“Because I have comprehended Sword Intent,” Wang Ping chuckled, his aura changing abruptly, becoming as sharp as a divine sword drawn from its scabbard, as if it could cut through everything.

At the same time, the swords of all the Sword Spirit Sect disciples present began to vibrate, emitting sword sounds, with the tendency to unsheathe autonomously.

It could be said that once Sword Intent was released, all swords obeyed!

“Sword Intent!” Bai Tianhong’s pupils contracted, his face full of surprise as he felt Wang Ping’s Sword Intent.

He did not expect that Wang Ping had comprehended Sword Intent, and not just barely. This Sword Intent had already reached the realm of two-tenths Sword Intent, extremely powerful.

Not only was Bai Tianhong surprised, but the elders, deacons, and disciples present all showed shocked expressions, looking at Wang Ping in disbelief.

Wang Ping, a fourth-grade alchemist.

And now, he had also comprehended Sword Intent.

This person is just too extraordinary.

“Hiss!”

Although they had already speculated, when Wang Ping truly displayed his Sword Intent, even the Supreme Elders widened their eyes and couldn’t help but gasp.

Being a prodigy in alchemy was one thing, but he was also a prodigy in the sword’s path, with a talent likely not inferior to Bai Tianhong.

A fourth-grade alchemist, comprehending two-tenths Sword Intent. This talent is simply terrifying.

Indeed, a heaven-sent prodigy.

The Sword Spirit Sect had truly found a treasure.

“Bai Tianhong, feel free to come to me for a discussion on the way of the sword when you have time. I can give you some pointers,” Wang Ping said to Bai Tianhong with a smile.
Bai Tianhong had advised him numerous times during his life simulations.

Now, his cultivation and sword technique have surpassed Bai Tianhong’s, so naturally, it’s his turn to guide Bai Tianhong.

After all, although the Sword Spirit Sect is powerful, no one has comprehended Sword Intent. Only he can teach Bai Tianhong about Sword Intent, helping him comprehend it faster and become stronger.

“Thank you, Grand Elder.” Bai Tianhong’s eyes brightened with joy, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

“Hmm…” Wang Ping nodded.

Although he wanted to be on equal terms with Bai Tianhong, he did not want to reveal too much.

Everyone in the Sword Spirit Sect believed he was sixty or seventy years old, so let them think so.

If it was revealed that he was only twenty-five, he might attract unwanted attention, which could be dangerous.

In any case, the first rule is to stay under the radar.

After the banquet, Wang Ping gave Bai Tianhong some pointers, greatly benefiting him and deepening his understanding of Sword Intent.

If all goes well, Bai Tianhong will surely comprehend Sword Intent within the next two months.

“This banquet yielded quite a few gifts, enough to support several simulations. If I manage them well, like refining some precious herbs into pills and auctioning them off in the Great Xia, the spirit stones earned will increase even more.”

In the pavilion, even though Wang Ping had already experienced such an event in a previous life, he couldn’t help but glance at his storage ring and sigh.

Now, his storage ring had been upgraded to a mid-grade one, with a larger storage space and greater durability, a gift from a Grand Elder.

“However, although I have enough spirit stones for now, continuing to refine pills can also provide a steady stream of spirit stones, but I must not waste them.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered with many thoughts.

After all, the number of spirit stones needed for simulations increased exponentially. As the number of simulations increased, the cost for one simulation would reach a staggering amount.

Therefore, although the life simulator seems limitless in the number of simulations, as the number of simulations increases, he will eventually run short of spirit stones, making it impossible to simulate for a long time, and future simulations will become more challenging.

Each paid life simulation is precious and shouldn’t be wasted.

“Perhaps, I can first use the free simulations to find the most suitable development path, and then proceed with the paid simulations. This would be more secure.”

Wang Ping silently thought to himself.

In the following month, Wang Ping, while engaging in his daily cultivation, also converted some non-essential items into lower-grade spirit stones through the sect’s channels.

As a result, the number of lower-grade spirit stones in his possession reached a staggering amount, exceeding fifty thousand.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, lower-grade spirit stones are something only a few Acquired Realm experts can possess. Having a few pieces is already decent.

Innate Realm experts can own a relatively large number of spirit stones; having a few hundred lower-grade spirit stones is common.

As for top-tier Innate Realm experts, having more than a thousand spirit stones is also normal.

Thus, Spirit Origin Realm experts, who stand at the top of Xia Kingdom, all have significant wealth, with more than ten thousand being typical.

This time, the Sword Spirit Sect elders and Grand Elders spared no expense to curry favor with him, offering numerous valuable items. Getting fifty thousand lower-grade spirit stones after exchanging items was quite normal.

If he converted those precious items into spirit stones as well, the amount would only increase.

“I’ve saved four free simulations this time; I must find the optimal route for survival and growth. If I can directly survive to the Transcendent Realm, that would be ideal.”

Wang Ping thought ambitiously.

Of course, Wang Ping knew that surviving to the Transcendent Realm was unrealistic.

After all, if the Transcendent Realm was so easy to break through, the Profound Turtle Continent wouldn’t have seen centuries without anyone achieving the Great Transcendence.
