Although the progress of the Undying Golden Body hasn't been significant, there is finally a cultivation method, and this method is right. At least it won't be like before, blindly fumbling around. Although this cultivation method is quite costly, the money isn't Wang Xiaoqiang's, so he doesn't feel heartache.

Thinking of this, he smiled happily.

When he returned to the sleeping palace, he found Leng Qingqiu practicing swordsmanship inside.

Leng Qingqiu is a diligent woman. After abandoning the Path of Ruthlessness, Leng Qingqiu didn't stop cultivating. Her Qi Refining Cultivation is advancing toward the Second Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage.

Moreover, she is also studying other swordsmanship.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu delve into swordsmanship, Wang Xiaoqiang recalled the method of cultivating Sword Spirit taught to him verbally by Yuee Buhui. Although Wang Xiaoqiang never practiced it, he kept it in mind. Seeing Leng Qingqiu cultivating swordsmanship, he suddenly remembered and said to Leng Qingqiu, "Clear Autumn, I have a method to cultivate Sword Spirit. Do you want to try it?"

"Sword Spirit?… Sure, tell me about it!" Leng Qingqiu paused her cultivation and said with great interest.

Initially, Leng Qingqiu cultivated Sword Spirit to resurrect her lover, rather than truly wanting to cultivate Sword Spirit. She didn't understand the method to cultivate Sword Spirit, which is actually quite similar to her own method.

Her method was to directly capture the remnant soul of her lover into the Sword Body to replace the Sword Spirit, whereas the true method of cultivating Sword Spirit is to use meditation to attract ownerless souls into the Sword Body and eventually reach the Sword Spirit realm through continuous cultivation.

Sword Spirit also has levels.

Moreover, the levels are distinct. The cultivation levels of Sword Spirit are the Sword Embryo Stage, Transformation Phase, Solidification Phase, Separation Phase.

The so-called Sword Embryo Stage is when the sword spirit is gestating within the Sword Body but is not yet formed, like the first three months of a woman's pregnancy.

The Transformation Phase is when the sword spirit has taken shape inside the Sword Body, akin to the fetus forming in the womb.

The Solidification Phase is when the sword spirit solidifies into a human form inside the Sword Body, like the last three months of fetal development.

The Separation Phase is when the sword spirit gradually separates from the Sword Body, similar to childbirth, but the separation of the Sword Spirit from the Sword Body takes longer, unlike the brief process of human childbirth.

Each level corresponds to a First Realm, each level is more difficult than the last, but the power is also greater. After reaching the Separation Phase, the sword spirit separates from the Sword Body and can live like a person, serving and accompanying the owner. When the owner faces an enemy, it can enter the Sword Body and become a lethal weapon.

Cultivators who truly develop a Sword Spirit possess extremely strong power, even dozens of times stronger than Leng Qingqiu's Path of Ruthless Killing.

Wang Xiaoqiang thoroughly explained the levels and cultivation methods of Sword Spirit to Leng Qingqiu, and after hearing this, Leng Qingqiu became very interested and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, Leng Qingqiu sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the Immortal Sword with both hands, raising it above her head, and then began to meditate.

The first step in cultivating Sword Spirit is meditation.

In the universe, there are many unknown Spirit Creatures, and many ownerless souls that, for various reasons, cannot reincarnate or find peace. They drift aimlessly like those who cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, lonely, helpless, bleak, and hopeless...

By meditating, cultivators can use their willpower to communicate with these ownerless souls, attract them into the Sword Body, and these souls also wish to shape themselves into human form and resurrect.

With mutual willingness, the first step of cultivating Sword Spirit is accomplished.

Once the ownerless soul enters the Sword Body, it absorbs sword essence and the owner's essence blood for nourishment, slowly forming a fetus, or the so-called Sword Embryo.

"I'll give it a try too," Wang Xiaoqiang said and sat down cross-legged, taking out the Penglai Immortal Sword, holding it with both hands, raising it above his head, and closing his eyes. Instinctively, he glanced at Leng Qingqiu, then suddenly kissed her cheek, interrupting her and saying, "Darling, don't use a male as a Sword Spirit!"

Leng Qingqiu opened her eyes and glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, "You're so jealous. Then you can't use a female as a Sword Spirit either..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Alright, then I'll use a little child as a Sword Spirit; is that okay?"

"Hmm!" Leng Qingqiu nodded, closed her eyes again, and continued her meditation, imagining the sword in her hands as a gentle and kind girl, specifically, imagining the Immortal Sword as her former little junior sister, Ji Luozhi.

Leng Qingqiu was born into a poor family with only a brother and no sisters. Since childhood, she always wanted a sister companion. Later, upon entering the sect to cultivate, she met a good sister named Ji Luozhi. Ji Luozhi was a very gentle and kind girl, and she shared a deep bond with Leng Qingqiu.

Unfortunately, unforeseen events occurred, and Ji Luozhi was killed by someone from another sect while on a mission. Although Leng Qingqiu ultimately avenged her by killing the perpetrator, her dear sister was never able to return to her side.

This made her feel quite regretful. Therefore, she hopes that after her Sword Spirit separates, it can resemble her beloved junior sister Ji Luozhi.

Wang Xiaoqiang smirked a bit and also closed his eyes, imagining his sword as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl.

Generally, cultivators and Sword Spirits develop a very deep emotional connection because without emotions, the Sword Body can't nurture the Sword Embryo, which can't transform or solidify, and can't separate.

Thus, Wang Xiaoqiang doesn't allow Leng Qingqiu's Sword Spirit to be male, and he himself doesn't wish for his Sword Spirit to be male either, so he chose a small girl.

After all, a little girl is a child, not considered a woman. And Leng Qingqiu agreed.

As they meditated, each of their Sword Bodies raised above their heads revealed a faint human figure.

This human figure is lifeless, resembling a carved statue.

This figure is the image of the characters they each fantasize about.

The human figure in Leng Qingqiu's sword is identical to her junior sister Ji Luozhi.

And the little girl in Wang Xiaoqiang's sword is thirteen or fourteen years old with big eyes, a cute little girl.

As the meditation deepened, both felt everything around them change, as if they had entered another world, a world that was dark, cold, and desolate...

The wind whistled, the drizzle fell continuously; there was no sunlight, no brightness, no human presence, only the wandering ownerless souls.

Sorrowful, desolate, and forlorn!

The ownerless souls floated by one by one, excitedly examining the human figures in the Sword Bodies. When they found that the figures didn't match their appearance, they departed in disappointment.

Ownerless souls came in waves but none matched, yet neither was discouraged.

Suddenly, an ownerless soul drifted over, a girl who was lovely in appearance and seemed gentle and kind.

This girl, upon seeing the human figure within Leng Qingqiu's Sword Body, became excited and thrilled because she found herself very similar to the human figure. Without any hesitation, she transformed into blue smoke and entered Leng Qingqiu's Sword Body.

Leng Qingqiu returned from her meditation, opened her eyes, and tears glistened in her beautiful eyes because she clearly saw just now that the ownerless soul entering her Sword Body was indeed her junior sister Ji Luozhi.

She lowered her hands, hugged the sword, lowered her eyes, and carefully stared at the ownerless soul moving like blue smoke within the Sword Body, saying excitedly and joyfully, "Little Zii, is it you?"

The ownerless soul in the Sword Body moved quickly, lively as a fish.

"Little Zii, I hope it's really you!" Leng Qingqiu lovingly caressed the Sword Body, saying, "Regardless of whether it's you or not, I will treat it as you, work hard to cultivate, and let it transform..."

Wang Xiaoqiang was still persisting, continuing his meditation. In fact, some ownerless souls wanted to enter the Penglai Sword Body but were rejected by Wang Xiaoqiang,

He was very picky, paying great attention to the appearance of the little girl; those without beauty did not pass his scrutiny, resembling a beauty contest.

Finally, after meditating for most of the night, an ownerless soul of a little girl got Wang Xiaoqiang's approval and turned into blue smoke, eagerly entering the Penglai Immortal Sword.

Wang Xiaoqiang opened his eyes, somewhat excitedly placed the Penglai Immortal Sword in front of him, closely inspected the ownerless soul within the Sword Body, and gently caressed the Sword Body, whispering to himself, "Darling, I will cultivate you into human form."
