This is now another effect of Sword Nine, the spiritual weapon.

...

On a solitary peak.

Jiang Ning held Sword Nine, the sword light swept across like a spring breeze melting snow, continuously deep and hidden with lethal intent.

The sword light was soft and pervasive.

With the sword in hand, the "Lichun" seasonal phenomenon transformed into Sword Intent.

Jiang Ning casually wielded the sword moves, not confined to the changes of a single move.

[Lichun True Intent Experience Value +1]

[Lichun True Intent Experience Value +1]

[Lichun True Intent Experience Value +1]

[...]

Jiang Ning gained enlightenment in his heart, and the progress of the conception-based cultivation technique of Lichun soared instantly.

In less than the time of two incense sticks.

Jiang Ning sheathed the sword and stood still.

[Skill]: Lichun (Perfection 3/1000)

"This effect... truly remarkable!!" Jiang Ning marveled at the spiritual weapon Sword Nine in his hand.

While practicing sword with Sword Nine, he seemed to merge with the sword's spirit, gaining new perspectives on the conception in his heart.

More flashes of epiphany kept appearing.

This also resulted in an astonishingly high efficiency in acquiring experience value during practice.

He looked up again at the crimson sun overhead.

The red sun was setting, more than a third of its journey passed.

"The efficiency is actually not inferior to practicing blade techniques to comprehend the Lichun conception!" Jiang Ning was somewhat amazed in his heart.

His understanding of the effect of Sword Nine, the spiritual weapon, deepened further.

This sword, in any faction, could be enough to strengthen and prosper that faction.

With the help of Sword Nine, even a mediocre person could reach great success in Sword Intent, achieving the level of a Heavenly Person.

Then.

Jiang Ning opened the wooden box containing the Lichun fragments again.

As rolls of animal skin spread open, fragment scrolls appeared before his eyes.

Rain Water fragment... Spring Equinox fragment... Lesser Heat fragment... Greater Heat fragment

And four more seasonal fragment scrolls.

With the Jingzhe and Lichun I now master, I can master the Conception of six seasonal phenomena among the 24 Solar Terms.

It's unknown what kind of astonishing effect will result once they are all gathered.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a bit moved.

Then, he picked up the Rain Water fragment to comprehend.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

[...]

As he flipped through the Rain Water fragment, the experience value of Literacy and Judgement skyrocketed.

A moment later.

He closed the fragment and shut his eyes.

Sword Nine softly hummed beside him, its sword voice crisp.

After being refined by Jiang Ning, Sword Nine knew it no longer had the ability to resist, its life and death dependent on Jiang Ning's whim.

Even when Jiang Ning gave it to that woman before, this control was never severed.

At this moment, images of drizzling spring rain, nurturing all things, appeared in Jiang Ning's mind.

In the scenes in his mind, every thread of rain seemed to be transformed from countless wisps of Sword Intent.

His Heart Spirit immersed in the world in his mind, his comprehension soared.

[Rain Water True Intent Experience Value +1]

[Rain Water True Intent Experience Value +1]

[Rain Water True Intent Experience Value +1]

[...]

After a long time.

Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Rain Water (small success 387/500)

"The results are so remarkable!!" Seeing the changes in the Skill column, Jiang Ning couldn't help but show a slight smile.

Then.

He raised his hand and with a grasp, with Sword Nine in hand, he began the sword practice.

The long sword was agile, the sword following the heart's intent.

The sword light spread, transforming into threads of rainwater dispersing.

The rainwater was like silk, like threads, continuous and unending.

Instantly enveloping three zhang around him.

"Rain Water Sword Intent, this is the Rain Water Sword Intent!!" Jiang Ning realized with enlightenment, feeling elated.

This is the joy of harvest.

No scratching one's head in confusion, just an exceptionally smooth and unimpeded flow of inspiration.

Any matter, if without a sense of frustration and only a sense of harvest, can become addictive, causing one to become infatuated.

And now he was just like this.

Practicing sword with the heart at ease, without confusion, only the continuous flashes of inspiration and inner enlightenment.

...

Jiang Ning was immersed in this realization, not knowing how long it had passed before he stopped wielding his sword.

[Skill]: Rainwater (Perfection 237/1000)

Another mastery!

Seeing the changes on the panel, he couldn't help but smile.

His gaze swept across the panel, and among the twenty-four seasonal True Intents, he now mastered three.

Jingzhe, Lichun, Rainwater.

Great!

Jiang Ning nodded secretly.

Striking while the iron is hot, today I shall comprehend the remaining three seasonal remnants to perfection!!

Then, he picked up another seasonal remnant.

Vernal Equinox.

Day and night equally divided, yin and yang balanced.

Looking at the eight-character intent, Jiang Ning suddenly had some insights.

Then his gaze continued to move downwards.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

[...]

A moment later.

He closed the Vernal Equinox remnant in his hand, and the corresponding images emerged in his mind.

[Spring Breeze True Intent Experience Value +1]

[Spring Breeze True Intent Experience Value +1]

[Spring Breeze True Intent Experience Value +1]

[...]

As he comprehended, the experience value of the Spring Breeze True Intent also surged.

...

[Skill]: Vernal Equinox (Great Success 2/1000)

"Indeed, the deeper the accumulation, the simpler the comprehension!"

Looking at his current panel, Jiang Ning smiled.

He immediately held his sword and began to practice.

Day and night equally divided, yin and yang balanced.

These eight large characters flashed through his mind.

His sword stance quickly became both hard and soft, with the grass clippings under his feet moving with his body, slowly evolving into a circle.

And he stood at the center of the circle, with a yin-yang fish pattern suddenly appearing under his feet.

Day and night equally divided, yin and yang balanced, both hard and soft.

Jiang Ning continued his sword practice, gaining enlightenment in his heart.

After burning incense for half an hour.

Jiang Ning stopped practicing his sword, standing with his sword in hand.

At this moment, the grass clippings around him piled into a circle, forming a Taiji fish pattern.

And he stood right at the center of the yin-yang Taiji fish.

[Skill]: Springtime Compendium (Remnant) (Master 121/2000) (Cannot be upgraded)

Springtime Compendium (Remnant)?

Seeing the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning was momentarily stunned.

His gaze then slightly focused.

[Springtime Compendium (Remnant)]: Jingzhe (Perfection 89/1000), Lichun (Perfection 3/1000), Rainwater (Perfection 237/1000), Vernal Equinox (Perfection 7/1000)

"Spring has six major seasonal nodes: Jingzhe, Lichun, Rainwater, Vernal Equinox, Qingming, and Grain Rain."

"Now I have mastered the True Intents of Jingzhe, Lichun, Rainwater, and Vernal Equinox, but I still lack the True Intents of Qingming and Grain Rain."

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind as he looked at the changes on his panel and had an epiphany.

Mastering the True Intents of Jingzhe, Lichun, Rainwater, and Vernal Equinox, all comprehended to the state of perfection, allowed him to reach a higher-level conception, the conception of spring in the four seasons.

But because he has not yet mastered the remaining two seasonal True Intents, Qingming and Grain Rain.

This has caused the higher-level cultivation technique of the Springtime Compendium to remain beyond his complete mastery and temporarily unupgradable.

"To reach the Master level, it requires two thousand experience points to upgrade!" he muttered as he looked at his panel.

He immediately understood that the grade of the Springtime Compendium had already surpassed the category of superior martial arts, reaching a higher-level grade.

Just like the Vajra Immortal Body and Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

The experience points required to break through these two higher-grade cultivation techniques are ten times that of ordinary martial arts.

The Source Energy Points needed to break the limit are also ten times that of ordinary martial arts.

Now, with the change in experience points required to break through the Springtime Compendium, it also represents that Springtime Compendium has reached this level, surpassed the category of superior martial arts.

"This is just one of the four seasons, spring. If all twenty-four seasonal True Intents are mastered, covering spring, summer, autumn, and winter, will it then evolve like the Canglang Blade Skill into Water and Fire True Strength, rising another grade, another level?"

At this moment, a thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

The more he pondered, the more it seemed possible.

He does not know what changes will occur with a complete cycle of the four seasons.

But he knows that if there is a change, it will undoubtedly be a huge advantage.

His experience has already told him this.

The potential of ordinary martial arts is not very high, and the traits they give rise to are clearly not as strong as those derived from such high-grade cultivation techniques as the Vajra Immortal Body.

Whether it's the Dragon Elephant Power or the Six-foot Golden Body.

They are far beyond the traits derived from the cultivation techniques listed on his panel.

"First, find a way to gather the six seasonal remnants of spring and meet the conditions to master the Springtime Compendium, and see what changes will occur!!"

"Divine Sword Manor can gather so many remnants of the seasonal manuscripts, with my current status and position, it should not be difficult!"

Jiang Ning's eyes flickered, contemplating in his heart.
