Chapter 56 - 56: Sword Spirit
The next day, Zhang Yuan ordered to ring the bronze bell, gathering all the elders, deacons, and disciples, appointing Wang Ping as a Supreme Elder.
At the same time, today was a celebration for the entire Sword Spirit Sect to welcome Wang Ping.
This news shocked everyone.
And then, joy.
After all, such major events were rare in centuries, and this grand feast allowed them to indulge in the otherwise hard-to-find Spiritual Wine, which greatly benefited their cultivation.
As the banquet began, the usually elusive Supreme Elders also showed up one by one, fervently presenting gifts to Wang Ping.
Every gift was extremely precious, with several strands of 4th Tier Treasure Medicine appearing, which was astonishing.
Wang Ping, however, was not surprised at all.
After all, he had experienced such a situation in his last life simulation.
Next, after having conversations and sharing wine with the Sword Spirit Sect’s important figures, Wang Ping didn’t miss a single etiquette.
“Bai Tianhong, paying respects to the Supreme Elder.”
At this moment, a young man in white clothes with an extraordinary appearance walked over and bowed slightly to Wang Ping.
“Rumors say Bai Tianhong is the number one genius in the Xia Kingdom. It’s true that seeing is believing.” Wang Ping looked at Bai Tianhong with a smile on his face and exclaimed, “You must be only one step away from comprehending Sword Spirit, right?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was taken aback.
Elders and disciples alike showed astonished expressions.
Among those Supreme Elders who were aware of this, they were even more surprised at Wang Ping’s ability to see through Bai Tianhong’s details.
Soon enough, a frowning Supreme Elder revealed an amazed look, discovering Wang Ping’s depth.
“How did you know?” Bai Tianhong looked at Wang Ping in surprise, never expecting this new Supreme Elder to discern his abilities so easily.
“Because I’ve comprehended Sword Spirit.” Wang Ping smiled lightly, and his aura suddenly changed. He was like a divine sword that had been unsheathed, sharp and imposing, seemingly capable of annihilating everything in its path.
At the same time, the disciples’ swords at the scene all trembled, emitting sword cries, and had a tendency to exit their sheaths automatically.
It could be said that when Sword Spirit emerged, all swords submitted!
“Sword Spirit!” Feeling Wang Ping’s Sword Spirit, Bai Tianhong’s pupils contracted, his face showing surprise.
He didn’t expect that Wang Ping had comprehended Sword Spirit and that it wasn’t just a simple, recent comprehension. This level of Sword Spirit had reached 20%, making it quite formidable.
Not only was Bai Tianhong surprised, but the elders, deacons, and disciples present all showed stunned expressions, looking at Wang Ping in disbelief.
Wang Ping, a 4th Tier Alchemist.
And now, he had even comprehended Sword Spirit…
This man was simply too outrageous.
“Hiss!”
Although early guesses were made, when Wang Ping finally revealed his Sword Spirit, even the Supreme Elders widened their eyes, unable to hold back their gasps.
Being an Elixir Tao Talent was already impressive enough, but he was also a Sword Skill Talent, with a talent comparable to Bai Tianhong’s.
As a 4th Tier Alchemist with a 20% comprehension of Sword Spirit, this talent was truly terrifying.
It was as if a genius had fallen from the sky.
The Sword Spirit Sect had truly struck gold.
“Bai Tianhong, if you have time, you can come to me for sword discussions, and I can give you some guidance.” Wang Ping said to Bai Tianhong with a smile.
Bai Tianhong had given him guidance many times during the life simulation.
Now that his cultivation and swordsmanship were above Bai Tianhong’s, it was naturally Wang Ping’s turn to guide him.
After all, though the Sword Spirit Sect was powerful, it had no one who had comprehended Sword Spirit, so only Wang Ping could guide Bai Tianhong to improve his swordsmanship and comprehend Sword Spirit more quickly.
“Thank you, Supreme Elder.” Bai Tianhong’s eyes sparkled, his face full of joy as he hurriedly thanked him.
“Mm.” Wang Ping nodded.
Although he wanted to interact with Bai Tianhong as an equal, he didn’t want
to expose too much.
Since everyone in the Sword Spirit Sect believed he was in his sixties or seventies, let them think so.
If he exposed that he was only 25 years old, he could invite unnecessary attention and potential danger.
After all, it’s always best to be cautious.
After the banquet, Wang Ping gave Bai Tianhong some guidance, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding and mastery of Sword Spirit.
Without any accidents, Bai Tianhong will definitely comprehend Sword Spirit in the next two months.
“The gifts I’ve received this time are so abundant that they’re enough to support me in several more simulations. If I manage them well, like refining some of the treasure medicines into elixirs and auction them off in the Xia Kingdom, I’ll be able to earn even more Spirit Stones.”
In the loft, although Wang Ping had already gone through such an experience in his previous life, he couldn’t help but glance at his Storage Ring and sighed.
Now, his Storage Ring had become a more advanced middle-tier Storage Ring with a larger storage space and greater resistance to damage, gifted by a Supreme Elder.
“However, even though I have enough Spirit Stones now, and as long as I continue refining elixirs, I can obtain a constant supply of Spirit Stones, I shouldn’t waste them,” Wang Ping thought with many ideas in his heart.
After all, the amount of Spirit Stones he spent on simulations increased exponentially with each use. As the number of simulations increased, the Spirit Stones used would eventually become staggering.
Although the Life Simulator didn’t set an upper limit for the number of simulations, as they increased, he would eventually run out of Spirit Stones and be unable to simulate for a long time. The upcoming simulations would become more difficult.
Every paid life simulation was precious and must not be wasted.
“Perhaps I can first use the free simulations to find the most suitable development path, then proceed with the paid simulations, so it’s more secure,” Wang Ping secretly thought to himself.
In the following month, while carrying out his daily cultivation, Wang Ping also exchanged some non-essential items for Lower-tier Spirit Stones through sect channels.
As a result, the number of Lower-tier Spirit Stones he had reached an astonishing amount: over 50,000.
In Xia Country, Lower-tier Spirit Stones were something only a small portion of Post-Heaven Realm experts could possess, and having a few pieces was already considered good.
Innate Realm experts could possess more Spirit Stones. For an average Innate Realm expert, having a few hundred Lower-tier Spirit Stones was quite normal.
For top-tier Innate Realm experts, having over a thousand Spirit Stones was considered normal as well.
As for Spiritual Realm Experts, those who stood at the peak of Xia Country, their wealth was substantial, with over 10,000 Spirit Stones being quite ordinary.
This time, for the sake of winning Wang Ping’s favor, the elders and Supreme
Elders of the Spirit Origin Sect spared no expense. It was quite normal for Wang Ping to obtain 50,000 Lower-tier Spirit Stones after exchanging his gifts.
If he exchanged those precious items for Spiritual Stones as well, the number would be even more massive.
“This time, with four free simulations saved, I must find the best path for survival and growth. If I can directly find a way to reach the Transcendent
Realm, that would be the best case.”
Wang Ping thought ambitiously to himself.
Of course, Wang Ping also knew that reaching the Transcendent Realm easily was unrealistic.
After all, if it were that easy to break through to the Transcendent Realm, the Profound Turtle Continent wouldn’t have been unable to produce a single Transcendent Realm expert in centuries..
