Inside Wang Hong's Space, a variety of spiritual herbs and spirit fruits flourished. Many of these spiritual herbs had already reached the age of a thousand years.
In the current Cultivation World, thousand-year spiritual herbs had long become extinct. Even a common first-tier spiritual herb, when grown for a thousand years in a place rich with Spirit Qi like Space, would become a priceless treasure.
It was unclear whether it was due to their extended growth period or the special properties of Space, but many of the spiritual herbs inside had undergone mutations.
These mutated spiritual herbs had become a completely new species. Some of them Wang Hong had encountered in ancient texts, while others were entirely unfamiliar. In any case, their effects were even more potent than before.
According to ancient records, these were all spiritual herbs from the ancient era that had slowly gone extinct.
Regarding this, Wang Hong had pondered whether these mutated forms might be closer to their original nature.
If one or two of these thousand-year spiritual herbs were to accidentally find their way outside, it would likely lead to a bloody and chaotic situation.
Apart from the thousand-year spiritual herbs, the spirit fruit trees inside Space had also surpassed a thousand years in age. However, among these spirit trees, only one Qiu Long Tea had undergone a mutation.
After the tea leaves of this Qiu Long Tea mutated, they appeared crystal clear, akin to jade. Every time Wang Hong consumed it, it greatly enhanced his enlightenment.
The Mysterious Seed he had planted earlier had now grown into a sprawling vine. Surprisingly, amidst this vast expanse of vines, there hung only a single gourd.
This gourd had been growing on the vine for thousands of years, and it still remained a lush green, suggesting that it had yet to ripen.
Wang Hong had considered plucking and tasting this gourd on numerous occasions, curious about its flavor. However, he abandoned the idea because there had always been only one gourd on the vine.
He feared that if he consumed the sole gourd and it didn't taste good, he would regret it.
This time, Wang Hong entered Space with the intention of cutting down another Fusang Wood to refine his second Lifebound Magical Treasure - the Flying Sword.
According to the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique," using two swords could form the Tai Chi Sword Formation, greatly enhancing its power.
With the first refined Fusang Wood Flying Sword in his possession, cutting down another Fusang Wood would be much easier now.
In the past, he had been hesitant to use the Frosty Light Blade to cut the Fusang Wood, primarily because the Frosty Light Blade couldn't withstand the backlash from the Fusang Wood.
Through some ancient texts, he learned that the flames emitted by the Fusang Wood were known as the Golden Crow Fire, capable of burning all things in the world. Therefore, only a Fusang Wood-refined Flying Sword could withstand these flames.
He quickly felled another Fusang Wood and extracted its core.
Using the same refinement method as before, he soon possessed his second Lifebound Magical Treasure - the Flying Sword.
Attempting to summon both Flying Swords simultaneously, he felt his Spiritual Power surging like a torrent, pouring into both Flying Swords.
Then, wielding both Flying Swords, he followed the techniques recorded in the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique," forming a Tai Chi Sword Formation in the air.
The term "Tai Chi" encompassed both Yin and Yang, Qian and Kun, Heaven and Earth, above and below, cold and hot, male and female... All of these could be considered as aspects of Tai Chi.
Both Flying Swords in the air moved like swimming fish, chasing and circling each other. Gradually, the two Flying Swords evolved into two extremes.
One represented Yang, blazing hot, fierce, and aggressive, while the other represented Yin, ice-cold, flexible, and defensive.
The two swords complemented each other, forming the Tai Chi Sword Formation together.
As Wang Hong immersed himself in the profoundness of the Tai Chi Sword Formation, his Spiritual Power was completely depleted, and the two Flying Swords dropped to the ground.
Using both Flying Swords simultaneously had consumed too much energy. Previously, he could control a single Flying Sword for about fifteen minutes, but even now, with improved Spiritual Power, he could only manage half that time.
This was the drawback of using high-end materials like Fusang Wood, which was, in itself, a divine object far beyond the reach of a mere Golden Core Cultivator.
He retrieved a bottle of Spirit Wine from his Storage Bag and took a sip. Its rich flavor started in his mouth and spread throughout his entire body.
It quickly nourished his meridians and dantian, rapidly restoring his Spiritual Power.
With a satisfied sigh, Wang Hong thought, "This is the thousand-year Spirit Wine from Space."
Originally ordinary Spirit Wine, after being nurtured by Spirit Qi for a thousand years, had transformed into a highly pure elixir. It retained the delicious taste of Spirit Wine while gaining potency.
Picking up the two fallen Flying Swords, he noted that during the formation of the sword array, they had transformed into a pair representing Yin and Yang. Now that the formation had dissipated, the two swords had returned to their original state.
After replenishing his Spiritual Power, Wang Hong resumed practicing the Tai Chi Sword Formation. Mastery was essential; if he couldn't control it proficiently and couldn't defeat strong enemies quickly, he would be in trouble.
He practiced continuously for a year, becoming intimately familiar with every detail of controlling the dual swords, concluding this phase of Tai Chi Sword Formation training.
Leaving his seclusion chamber, he conducted a brief inspection of his territory.
He also inquired with Liu Changsheng to gather information, discovering that the Demon Clans from Azure Void City and Taihao City had not yet made any moves against him. This provided some relief, as they needed time for quiet development.
Every day of growth for them would mean increased strength. If they continued to develop like this, they would eventually possess the power to contend with the Demon Clans.
The last time they dispatched a team for plundering was a necessity. Most of his Golden Core Cultivators lacked magic weapons, rendering them powerless in battle.
Now that they had magic weapons and obtained two spirit ores, Wang Hong naturally wished to focus on their development and growth.
However, he understood the importance of staying prepared for a sudden conflict at any time.
In the recent battle, he noticed that his Golden Core Cultivators, newly promoted and still adjusting to their magic weapons, didn't have strong individual combat abilities.
To enhance their combat prowess, daily training was essential, but there were two additional areas to address: improving their magic weapon equipment and strengthening their individual abilities.
After careful consideration, Wang Hong handed several bottles of Mo Yu Dan to Xu Lun, instructing him to add them to the exchange list, but with the condition that only Golden Core Cultivators could exchange for them.
Returning to his cave mansion, Wang Hong had an idea he wanted to test.
From his Space, he retrieved a Storage Bag and pulled out a piece of red wood. The moment this wood was exposed, the secret chamber filled with intense heat.
This piece of wood was the material he had obtained after extracting the core of the Fusang Wood. These materials absolutely could not be seen in the outside world.
If they were to spread, it might trigger a massive bloodshed and potentially implicate him.
Wang Hong planned to refine all these materials into powerful disposable magic weapons.
These disposable magic weapons were a type of magic weapon that could only be used once. Upon activation, they unleashed all their power at once.
