C16 Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique!

"Cool Breeze Sword Technique, a Yellow Rank Mid Grade skill, is available for you to learn by allocating attribute points."

"The Blood Stripe Sword, a Yellow Rank Low Grade weapon, also requires attribute points to master."

These were the two valuable items Su Ze had obtained in exchange for his Danxia Mental Cultivation Method and Mountain Splitting Palm technique. Additionally, Su Ze had acquired thirty thousand taels of silver.

The booklet given to Su Ze by Xiang Yongming contained valuable insights from his experience refining the Blood Stripe Sword. Once the system had scanned the booklet, it revealed, "Xiang Yongming's Artifact Refinement Insights, Yellow Rank Low Grade, can be learned by allocating attribute points."

Artifact Refinement Insights could be enhanced with attribute points as well.

Artifact Refining was a supportive skill. Should Su Ze choose to, he could instantly learn to become a Yellow Rank Low Grade Artifact Refiner and even craft weapons of the same rank.

The prospect excited Su Ze. He envisioned refining his own weapons for a more seamless fit and utilizing this skill to acquire resources for cultivation.

However, Su Ze's vast reserve of one hundred trillion attribute points was being released incrementally, in line with his cultivation level, leaving him with just over one hundred thousand points at present. Given the precarious state of the Su family, Su Ze had to prioritize using his points to bolster his own strength.

Setting aside the tome on artifact refining, Su Ze turned his attention to mastering the Cool Breeze Sword Technique.

"A thousand attribute points have been deducted to learn the Cool Breeze Sword Technique."

In an instant, Su Ze had grasped all twelve moves of the technique.

It was as though he had been practicing the Cool Breeze Sword Technique for ages, executing each motion with impeccable precision.

Wielding the Blood Stripe Sword with finesse, Su Ze had transformed into a formidable swordsman.

After investing additional points, Su Ze's Cool Breeze Sword Technique advanced to the Sixth Layer. It was as if he had dedicated over a decade to perfecting these twelve techniques, each nuance now second nature to him.

The Blood Stripe Sword had become an extension of his arm. Indeed, Su Ze had grown so accustomed to the blade that he could effortlessly wield any sword to its fullest potential using the Cool Breeze Sword Technique.

Su Ze had risen to the stature of a sword master with years of dedicated practice behind him.

Su Ze invested an additional 10,000 attribute points, elevating the Yellow Rank Mid Grade Cool Breeze Sword Technique to the third level of the Profound Rank Low Grade Cool Breeze Waning Moon Sword Technique.

He was awash with insights from various sword techniques, gaining a deeper grasp on wielding a long sword.

The sword seemed unfamiliar in Su Ze's gaze, yet simultaneously, it felt incredibly familiar in his grasp.

Su Ze had ascended to a remarkably high realm, one that only a few who had dedicated decades to the art of the sword could achieve.

He was taken aback by a delightful surprise. Su Ze hadn't anticipated that allocating attribute points would grant him such unforeseen experiences and revelations.

With another allocation of points, Su Ze attained the fourth level of the Profound Rank Upper Grade Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique.

The transition from "Waning Moon" to "Bright Moon" was a mere change of a single word, but to Su Ze, it signified a conceptual elevation.

The Cool Breeze Waning Moon Sword Technique, a Profound Rank Low Grade, comprised twelve intricate moves.

In contrast, the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique consisted of just six moves: Cool Breeze Blowing and Cool Breeze Invisible as the opening duo, followed by Moon Falling In Water and Moon Shining at the center, and culminating with I See the Wind and I See the Moon.

These six moves of the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique painted an exquisite portrait of moon appreciation.

The cool breeze, the bright moon, and I.

The sophistication and mystery of the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique far surpassed both the Cool Breeze Sword Technique and the Cool Breeze Waning Moon Sword Technique.

By now, Su Ze had expended nearly thirty thousand attribute points.

Returning his focus to the Yellow Rank Low Grade Blood Stripe Sword, Su Ze decided to enhance it further.

"Ten thousand attribute points will be deducted to raise the Blood Stripe Sword to Yellow Rank Top Grade."

"Twenty thousand attribute points will be deducted to upgrade the Blood Stripe Sword to Profound Rank Mid Grade."

The blood stripes on the Blood Stripe Sword came to life, pulsating as if they were breathing. The sword, once as wide as a palm, had slimmed down.

Grasping the Profound Rank Mid Grade Blood Stripe Sword, Su Ze could sense his Primordial Energy flowing freely within.

The Frost Cultivation Method's ability to condense cold air allowed it to easily permeate the entire blade of the Blood Stripe Sword, making it a formidable weapon against enemies.

Su Ze still had 40,000 attribute points remaining, insufficient to enhance his cultivation method or his Root Bone.

His options included the Profound Rank Low Grade Mountain Suppressing Palm, the Profound Rank Upper Grade Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique, Xiang Yongming's Yellow Rank Low Grade insights on artifact crafting, and the Profound Rank Mid Grade Blood Stripe Sword.

He wasn't pressed to apply the artifact crafting insights just yet. The other three choices were pivotal in bolstering his strength.

"Let's boost the Blood Stripe Sword," Su Ze decided.

"40,000 attribute points deducted. The Blood Stripe Sword is now upgraded to an Earth Rank Low Grade weapon!"

Following the upgrade, the blood traces on the Blood Stripe Sword began to undulate slowly, their patterns growing more intricate and forming an array of ancient, mysterious runes. These runes interconnected, subtly creating a more potent formation.

Holding the Blood Stripe Sword, Su Ze could sense the stark contrast between Earth Rank and Profound Rank weapons, a revelation that broadened his horizons.

The runes added various enhancements: some increased sharpness, others durability, some channeled energy, and a few could even make the Blood Stripe Sword levitate.

Together, these runes composed a formation that amplified the original effects of the runes, doubling their impact.

For now, Su Ze had to wield the Blood Stripe Sword to tap into its capabilities.

Once he reached the Innate Stage and condensed his True Essence, he would be able to channel that essence to fully unleash the might of this Earth Rank Low Grade weapon.

Activating the Frost Cultivation Method, a chill breeze wafted from the Blood Stripe Sword.

Instantly, a layer of fine ice crystals formed on the blade, and a refreshing coolness filled the room.

Su Ze was astounded. Had the Blood Stripe Sword amplified the Frost Freezing effect of the Frost Cultivation Method to such a degree?

He lightly tapped the sword's tip on the table and watched as it easily punctured the wood. The pierced area was now visibly frosted over with ice.

The thought of such a wound inflicted on a person was chilling.

Witnessing this, Su Ze's concerns were put to rest.

He possessed the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique and wielded an Earth Rank Low Grade Blood Stripe Sword. Despite his cultivation level being at the Acquired Seventh Layer, he no longer had to engage in prolonged battles with warriors at the Acquired Ninth Layer.

In Tieling City, no one below the Innate level could withstand even a single strike from him!

Su Ze sheathed the Blood Stripe Sword contentedly and stepped out, sword in hand.

Upon opening the door, he was surprised to find Su Dayi, Su Mo, and three others standing at the threshold.

"What brings you all here? Weren't you at the auction?"

"The auction's over," Su Dayi replied, grinning. "Moreover, the talk of Tieling City today isn't the auction's treasures—it's you!"
