It seemed that the senior disciple had been at Foundation Building for a long time and had seen many young shidis who were curious about it.
He cleared his throat: “It’s not a secret actually……Do you guys know that there is a mountain for refinery near Yu Rong peak? It’s not high, about half the size of Yu Rong peak, very ordinary looking, and has nothing out of the ordinary.”
“I’ve seen it.”
“On that mountain, there lived over a hundred Foundation Building disciples whose names aren’t in the sixteen peak records. They refine pills, weapons, talismans, and swords for our Qing Xu Sword sect and some are very famous. You might know some of the sword refining masters: Song Shan cultivator, Qing Hui cultivator, Su Qin cultivator……”
“Yeah, I’ve heard of them.”
“Our Qing Xu Sword sect places priority on sword cultivation, which no one can defeat. But having a good sword method is all for naught without a good sword. For thousands of years, the sect has spent a huge amount of effort in training sword refiners, discovering many secret sword cultivating methods that cannot be disclosed and raising dozens of world famous sword refiners.”
Among the group, a disciple said: “When I had yet to enter the sect, I had already heard that the swords refined in Qing Xu Sword sect are the most valuable.”
“A normal Foundation Building cultivator’s sword could be sold for a few hundred high-grade spirit stones in the black market. It’s basically sky-high price so you guys don’t have to worry. Once you’ve entered Foundation Building and chosen your sword method, the sect will refine a suitable sword for all of you. It’s just that the other sects aren’t so lucky. If they want Qing Xu Sword sect to refine a sword for them, they would need something that is equally valuable to use as an exchange.”
One young disciple couldn’t help but be carried away and asked: “When would we be able to choose a sword method?”
“That would take a while. After entering Foundation Building, you have to first learn to swing the sword and then learn a few techniques which would take a year’s time. Then shifu would teach a sword method based on your talents and it would take a few years to see if the method was suitable. Basically, the first ten years of Foundation Building is all about practicing. Everything can only slowly come together afterward.”
“Practicing the sword method, wouldn’t that slowdown cultivation?”
That senior disciple laughed: “As a sword cultivator, practicing the sword method is cultivating! When practicing the sword, your Qi would wander around your body, opening and clearing meridians. Reaching an insight and advancing a level in your sword method, your cultivation would also advance a level! If your talents aren’t suitable for sword cultivation, it is also fine to not cultivate in the way of the sword. For example, Hui Shi peak’s He Ling cultivates the Four Scared Winds method.”
“Our Qing Xu Sword sect is famous throughout the world because of its sword methods. If you don’t cultivate the sword technique, it’s a bit of a waste.”
“But all of this would rely on personal talent. That He Ling is a mutant wind spirit root and the Four Scared Winds couldn’t be more compatible for him. Plus, that wind method isn’t worse than our sect’s top grade sword methods.” As he was talking, admiration leaked out.
