Chapter Thirteen Optimization

  Yunlai Sword Sect, compared to before, the number of people left was even smaller, including servants and followers, absolutely no more than a hundred people. However, compared to the previous few nights when Yunlai Mountain was quiet and silent like a ghost domain, in Qilingyun's courtyard, some joyful voices and laughter could already be heard.

  Standing in front of his own courtyard, Qin Tianyi glanced back at the Yunlai Sword Sect shrouded in night, and clenched his fist slightly.

  "This... is just the beginning..."

  Anything...

  Either don't do it, or if you do, do it well!

  This is Qin Tianyi!

  Born as a commoner, without any resources or background, entered the prestigious Starlight University, the highest institution of learning in the Federation, where nobles and tycoons abound, and emerged as the 117th ranked elite student.

  ……

  As a 9th-level spiritual being, the best way to restore spirit is through meditation.

  Three days without sleep or rest, although the spiritual loss is great, but after a night of meditation, it has also recovered to its peak.

  "Zi Lingyun's injury has largely recovered, and the precarious situation of Yunlai Sword Sect has finally stabilized. However, the crisis has not truly been lifted, as these dangers come from both the Xuanling Sect and the ranking challenge six months later."

  Qin Tianji quietly analyzed and laid out the two problems that Yunlai Sword Sect would face first.

  "Su Yuhan of the Xuanling Sect is young and a genius with the sword, having his own proud air of genius. For now, he won't take revenge on Yunlai Sword Sect, but Zhou Chong, being an experienced person in handling matters, upholds the idea of cutting grass to eliminate roots. Sun Yang's death will absolutely not make him stop here, instead it may become more intense. Fortunately, we concealed Sun Yang's death and before getting accurate news, he won't have new actions for now. This is our Yunlai Sword Sect's buffer period to recover... Let me calculate the time, there should be about a month."

  One month, the time he prepared for, is all that's left.

  "The humans in this world are too highly ranked, even an ordinary disciple of the Xuanling Sect can probably tear me to shreds... it all boils down to strength."

  Awesome!

  At this thought, Qin Tianyi's eyes condensed slightly.

  "Number two, reformatting environmental background."

  Qin Tianyi had a general understanding of the external environment in these few days: "The Great Xia Dynasty, Qingzhou, Wanxia County's 36 factions, Yunlei Sword Sect... The planet is unknown, the star domain is unknown. Judging from the star chart, it is a completely unfamiliar star chart, exceeding the limits of human exploration by the Federation. Preliminary judgment, this star domain is more than 100 billion light-years away from the Federation..."

  "Ding! Data logged."

  After a moment of contemplation, Qin Tianyi's thoughts involuntarily fell on Yunlai Sword Sect.

  "Accurate analysis, Cloud Sea Tide Birth Secret, try optimization..."

  "Ding! The fourth layer of the Body Cultivation Technique contains a special energy that cannot be parsed. If parsing is required, please provide a sample from the host to perfect the database."

  "Special Energy?"

  Yunhai Tide Birth Secret has a total of ten levels. Swordsmen of the fourth level can cultivate the first level, and the fourth level is equivalent to Sword Qi Seventh Level.

  The training of a swordsman, from the first to the third level, belongs to the stage of strengthening the body and refining swordsmanship. After reaching the fourth level, a kind of inner energy similar to the essence of life will condense inside the body, causing the swordsman's strength to undergo a qualitative transformation, possessing the terrifying destructive power to shatter trees and rocks.

  As for the seventh level, the inner power of the body is refined into emptiness and becomes true energy, and one's actual strength will immediately undergo a qualitative breakthrough.

  "My current cultivation has reached the 6th level of Swordsmanship, and I'm not far from reaching the 7th level of Swordsmanship. With the help of that 10th-level beast's inner elixir, it won't be difficult for me to reach the peak of the 6th level in less than a month. The real problem I need to face is the bottleneck between the 6th and 7th levels of Swordsmanship. Before reaching the 7th level, even if one becomes a good swordsman, they can't be considered a top expert. But once they become a 7th-level swordsman, their strength, status, and position will be completely different from before. Even if they want to establish their own sect, they can gain recognition from the Great Xia Dynasty and become a third-rate sect that can dominate one side."

  "A 7th-level swordsman is the starting point of the path to becoming a strong warrior! Only by achieving the level of a 7th-level swordsman can one have the qualifications to leave Yunlei Sword Sect, leave Wanjia County, and go out into the outside world to witness an even broader sky!"

  Qin Tianyi's tone was leisurely and nostalgic.

  Moreover, having personally witnessed a great life that can turn the universe upside down and tear through the starry sky with its transcendent power, how could I, Qin Tianyi, be content with being ordinary!

  As he spoke, he gazed out the window at the starry sky, his eyes filled with a sense of longing and an irrepressible fervor.

  "Justice will be served!"

  ……

  The next moment, new orders were quickly issued.

  "Optimize the Cloud Sea Tide Birth Secret to the first three layers! And, based on my physical data, how can I refine the inner elixir of that tenth-level fierce beast at the fastest speed and reach the peak of a sixth-level swordsman?"

  "Cloud Sea Tide Birth Secret, in the third round of optimization... estimated time required 3 hours and 21 minutes."

  "Drip! During the analysis of the plan, the host can take Blood Bone Grass and Jade Meat Fruit to enhance their inner strength. In coordination with applying the refined juice of Lian Xian Cao and Tian Luo Dan powder externally, and assisted by practicing the sixth set of military training courses from the Federation, it is possible to adjust the physical quality to level 6 peak within 26 days. If you can swallow the meat of a fierce beast, the time can be shortened further. The specific shortening of time depends on the quality and quantity of the swallowed fierce beast meat."

  "Twenty-six days."

  Qin Tianyi said, closing his eyes.

  Activating the second optimized Cloud Sea Tide Life Skill was quite mentally taxing, he needed to recover his mental energy as soon as possible and dive back into training.

  Three and a half hours later, the sound started.

  "Ding! Cloud Sea Tide Birth Secret, optimization complete! Optimization efficiency increased by 62%, cultivation difficulty reduced by 36%! Internal energy condensation degree increased by 17%!"

  "Condensed Chi Path efficiency increased by 62%, difficulty reduced by 36%! Moreover, the power of Chi Path has also increased by 17%!"

  Qin Tianyi was clearly very satisfied with this result.

  "I didn't expect the optimization effect to be so significant, I thought that an overall increase of 30% would be good enough. With the new Cloud Sea Tide Birth Technique, the time it takes for me to reach the peak of Sword Master Sixth Level will likely be shortened again. Moreover, in terms of attack power, it can also be increased by nearly 20%!"

  Thinking of this, Qin Tianyi immediately devoted himself to the cultivation of the new Yunhai Chao Sheng Jue.

  ……

  In the next half month, the entire Yunlai Sword Sect was developing in a calm and upward way.

  The current Yunlai Sword Sect has only 44 disciples left, and even if we include the servants and maids who have been working for the Yunlai Sword Sect generation after generation and are unwilling to leave, the total population is only 106 people. This number is completely not worthy of a decent sect, not even comparable to a third-rate sect.

  At least, a third-rate sect should have more than a hundred disciples.

  Although the number is small, and the disciples with a cultivation level above the fourth-level swordsmen are only Jiang Caiyun, Xue Ziyi, Xiao Sumin, Yi Shishi, Gu Cheng, and Tang Liang, these six people are all loyal to Yunlai Sword Sect. They are all true-hearted and sincere, and there is no problem with their loyalty. This point, even if other sects have more disciples, can't be compared.

  After half a month of recuperation, although Qilingyun had not fully recovered yet, he was already able to get out of bed and move around. His mental state had also undergone a drastic change compared to before.

  Having gone through this life-and-death experience and witnessing the rise and fall of Yunlai Sword Sect, this elder who had dedicated his entire life to the development of Yunlai Sword Sect seemed to have undergone a transformation. According to Qin Tianyi's judgment using the second method, after waiting for another half month, when Qi Lingyun officially recovers, his cultivation will likely not simply recover to the eighth level of swordsmanship, but nine out of ten chances are that he will advance to become a ninth-level swordsman.

  On this day, Qin Tianyi had just finished the sixth set of training courses. Suddenly, a clear and loud whistle came from the martial arts arena in Yunlai Sword Sect, with a full breath, straight to the top of the mountain, lingering for a long time without stopping.

  Upon hearing this familiar voice, a hint of a smile appeared on Qin Tianyi's calm and indifferent face: "Looks like Yu Yan has broken through."

  With this in mind, Qin Tianyi quickly rushed towards the location of the martial arts arena.

  Qin Yuyan had already reached the peak of a 6th-level swordsmen, but previously due to the many things that happened in Yunlai Sword Sect, she alone had to bear the heavy responsibility of reviving Yunlai Sword Sect, and was too busy to cultivate. Now that Yunlai Sword Sect has temporarily stabilized, the dire situation is constantly improving, and after experiencing a life-and-death battle with high-level swordsmen Sun Yang, her spirit transformed, her mind joyful, her thoughts clear, she finally succeeded in refining her true energy, breaking through to become a 7th-level swordsmen.

  "Congratulations, Qin Shijie."

  "Qin Shijie finally broke through to become a 7th-level swordswoman, that's great!"

  "Qin Shijie is truly our idol, now we Yunlai Sword Sect disciples finally have a high-level swordsman too."

  In the martial arts arena, all the disciples gathered together, with joy on their faces coming from the heart, sincerely happy for Qin Yuyan becoming a sixth-level swordsman. At a glance, the atmosphere in the arena was filled with warmth and harmony.

  "Ah, Young Master."

  "The Young Master has arrived."

  "The young master is well."

  Qin Tianji arrived at the martial arts arena, and these disciples one by one also greeted him.

  Qilingyun was getting better day by day, and everyone saw it with their own eyes. They understood what Qilingyun's recovery meant to Yunlai Sword Sect - it meant that the spiritual pillar of Yunlai Sword Sect had not fallen yet. Therefore, they were truly grateful for this young master who had turned the tide.

  "Jade-faced sister."

  Heavenly Emperor

  "Congratulations, Yu Yan Jie."

  Wearing a suit of armor, Qin Yuyan held a sword in her hand, looking quite heroic and refreshing. Sweat dripped from her white forehead to the tip of her chin, but instead of affecting her personal charm, it made her even more youthful and charming.

  "What actually makes me happy is not that I broke through to the seventh level of swordsmanship today, but it's you, Tianji. You've finally started to show some semblance of your former self, the top young swordsman of Yunlai Sword Sect back in the day. It's that you're able to walk out of the shadows of that incident that truly makes me feel happy."

  Qin Tianyi smiled slightly: "I believe it won't take long, there will be even greater surprises waiting for Sister Yu Yan."

  "Oh? Then I'll be eagerly waiting."

  "Hehe, everyone is here."

  At this time, outside the martial arts arena, came the voice of Elder Qi Lingyun.

  Under the accompaniment of Xue Ziyi, Qi Lingyun has already walked to the entrance of the martial arts arena.

  "Uncle Qi."

  "Have seen Qi elder."

  "Master Qi, how did you come?"

  Seeing Qi Lingyun's complexion getting better day by day, the expressions of many disciples present showed a hint of joy, and more of them were respectful to this elder.

  "Master, you should now prioritize rest and focus on recovering your body as soon as possible."

  Qin Yuyan hastily stepped forward, wanting to support Qi Lingyun.

  "Haha, no need, no need, you've been promoted to a 7th-level swordsmen, such great news, how could I not come to congratulate you."

  Zi Lingyun waved his hand, declining Qin Yuyan's kindness, and smiled at Qin Tianyi with a smile on his face. "Tianyi's medicine has had a very obvious effect on my body recovery. Although I'm not fully recovered yet, I've recovered three or four tenths of the way. Not to mention walking, even if you let me fight with someone for over a hundred rounds, it wouldn't be a problem."

  "Uncle Qi, although you've recovered a bit now, but at this critical moment of recuperation, it's still best to rest as much as possible."

  "Haha, don't worry, I know my own body."

  Qin Tianyi nodded slightly.

  The physical quality of people in this world is much stronger than they imagine. Qin Yuyan is like this, and Qi Lingyun is also the same.

  Zi Lingyun glanced at the forty or so disciples present, then looked at Qin Yuyan and Qin Tianyi, a hint of comfort flashing in his eyes. Although Yunle Sword Sect had declined, as long as there were still people, the fighting spirit was not lost, and there was absolutely still hope for a comeback.

  "Tianji, actually, this time I came, there's another matter I'd like to discuss with you."

  "Uncle Qi, please go ahead and speak."

  "At present, the number of disciples left in our Yunlai Sword Sect is only forty-four. Including you two siblings, there are only forty-six people. Although the number is small, at this moment, no one has left our Yunlai Sword Sect, which shows that everyone's feelings for our sect run deep. Therefore, I intend to take all twenty-eight outer disciples and bring them into our Yunlai Sword Sect as official members."

  When Ziling Yun made this proposal, the outer disciples present were all excited and turned to Qin Tianyi, the young master of the clan, with expectant faces.

  Seeing the expectant gazes of his many disciples, Qin Tianyi smiled slightly: "Qi Shu, actually, even if you didn't say anything, I was planning to bring this up soon. Our Yunlai Sword Sect wants to develop rapidly, and at this moment, we must not be bound by conventions. Not only can we admit outer sect disciples into the inner sect, but I also plan to pass down our Yunlai Sword Sect's inherited technique, 'Yunhai Chaosheng Jue', from now on, any inner sect disciple can cultivate this technique, using the skills in Yunhai Chaosheng Jue to condense their internal energy and challenge mid-level swordsmen."
