Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 60 – The changes of the Extinct Spirit Seed
Kenneth Yi gave Ghost Guest a meaningful look and smiled without saying a word.
Ghost Guest gathered spiritual energy into his flying sword, spreading his spiritual sense to control the bronze sword, which wobbled as it took off.
Although he knew the trick to sword control, this was his first time actually doing it.
Firstly, he had been too busy cultivating to practice. Secondly, his Metal Spirit Root was only twenty percent, so no matter how much he practiced, he could never control the sword as effortlessly as Mark Ye.
But Senior Brother was right; even if he wasn't going to be a sword cultivator, he should at least know how to use a sword. With Mark Ye watching, it was a good opportunity to learn.
The bronze sword floated slowly towards Kenneth Yi. At such a speed, even a mortal could easily dodge it, let alone a cultivator.
Before it reached Kenneth Yi, the bronze sword lost control and fell into the lake.
Kenneth Yi waved his hand, and the bronze sword returned to Ghost Guest.
Ghost Guest tried again, but the sword's speed was still painfully slow. Once it reached a certain distance, it fell into the lake again.
"Useless," Mark Ye sneered, losing interest. After bidding farewell to Kenneth Yi, he left without a glance at Ghost Guest.
Ghost Guest remained expressionless. He had known that his sword control would invite Mark Ye's contempt and disdain. He wanted Mark Ye to underestimate him, to think he was good for nothing.
But seeing his poor sword control still made him feel a bit dejected.
Listening to the old folks' stories in the village, he had always fantasized about riding a white horse in a green robe, wandering the world with his sword.
But now he no longer had such fantasies. He knew his own talent; he couldn't become a sword cultivator and would only become the despicable poison user Jordan Shen spoke of.
Despicable or not, he didn't care. As long as he could win, any means were justified. Only those who survived had the right to speak.
"Do you want to continue?" Kenneth Yi asked gently.
Ghost Guest glanced at the lake. Mark Ye had already left, so he didn't need to waste time on sword control. But since he had started, he wanted to see it through.
At least for today, he wanted to practice sword control.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll try again." Ghost Guest formed a hand seal and controlled the bronze sword to fly out.
The bronze sword kept falling into the lake, and Kenneth Yi kept summoning it back.
Unknowingly, two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Ghost Guest controlled the bronze sword to fly slowly, his mind highly focused, his eyes fixed on Kenneth Yi standing motionless on the lake.
The bronze sword finally wobbled its way to Kenneth Yi, approaching his throat, then wobbled back into its sheath.
Although the speed was still slow, it was a success.
Kenneth Yi consoled him, "Don't be discouraged. Knowing how sword cultivators control their swords is enough. Everyone has flaws; don't dwell on them. It's better to specialize than to be a jack of all trades. Focus on what you're good at."
Ghost Guest nodded and quickly asked, "I've joined the Medicine Gate. I know that as my cultivation deepens, I can't waste time acquiring Spirit Stones. The Medicine Gate can provide more resources for cultivation, so I think I should develop well there. Is that correct?"
Kenneth Yi nodded slightly, "Absolutely correct. All our Foundation Establishment peers managed a faction or held high positions during their Qi Refinement period. Only this way can you secure enough resources for your cultivation. Take the Medicine Gate, for example; every head of the Medicine Gate, barring accidents, can cultivate to Foundation Establishment with its vast resources."

"I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll take my leave."
After leaving the Jadeite Platform, Ghost Guest hurried back to his courtyard as fast as he could, not even greeting Little Tiger and the others.
Once in his room, Ghost Guest took out all his Spirit Stones and ingredients from his Storage Bag, his eyes filled with intense focus.
Since assisting his master in refining that white fragment, the Extinct Spirit Seed in his Sea of Consciousness had become restless, though he had been suppressing it.
After leaving the main hall, he had wanted to return immediately, but since Senior Brother had spoken, he couldn't refuse. Then Mark Ye's appearance delayed him by another two hours.
If he had returned any later, he wasn't sure if he could still suppress the restless Extinct Spirit Seed.
Releasing the suppression, the Extinct Spirit Seed spun rapidly, churning his Sea of Consciousness and nearly causing him to lose control.
Ghost Guest endured the stabbing pain in his head, focusing on the changes in the Extinct Spirit Seed. The moment it began to absorb spiritual energy, he grabbed a Spirit Stone.
But this time, the Extinct Spirit Seed didn't absorb his spiritual energy. After spinning for a while, it gradually slowed down.
At the same time, the second groove on the Extinct Spirit Seed lit up with blood-red patterns.
Just as Ghost Guest breathed a sigh of relief, the Extinct Spirit Seed suddenly emitted a terrifying devouring force, sucking in the thin mist in his Sea of Consciousness.
Damn it!
If it were absorbing spiritual energy, he could use Spirit Stones to cope. But the thin mist in his Sea of Consciousness was his spiritual sense, which could only grow with cultivation and couldn't be replenished.
If his spiritual sense was completely devoured, his mind would collapse, and he would become an idiot.
Ghost Guest was extremely anxious, desperately trying to suppress the Extinct Spirit Seed, but it was futile.
When the last wisp of mist was devoured by the Extinct Spirit Seed, Ghost Guest fell to the ground in pain, clutching his head and rolling around, his eyes bloodshot.
After a long time, the Extinct Spirit Seed finally stopped its restlessness. Ghost Guest struggled to sit cross-legged, observing his Sea of Consciousness, his heart in turmoil.
The spiritual sense devoured by the Extinct Spirit Seed had returned!
Moreover, the Extinct Spirit Seed only used to spin when he consumed ingredients.
But now, the Extinct Spirit Seed was constantly spinning in his Sea of Consciousness. With each rotation, the mist in his Sea of Consciousness thickened.
This meant that his spiritual sense could continuously strengthen!
Ghost Guest was overjoyed. Although he didn't know the use of enhanced spiritual sense, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
Moreover, after this devouring, he seemed to have formed a unique bond with the Extinct Spirit Seed, feeling that the black seed would no longer devour like this in the future.
If he had to describe it, it felt like recognition. The Extinct Spirit Seed had devoured his spiritual energy and spiritual sense to remember his aura.
As for the activation of the second groove, it might be related to that white fragment.
Ghost Guest sat for a long time, gradually calming his excitement. At this moment, he suddenly understood something.
He had initially thought that the activation of the second groove would enhance another Spirit Root. Because after activating the first groove, he had only consumed pills and ingredients, so he naturally assumed the first groove corresponded to the enhancement of the Wood Spirit Root.
But now he realized that the Extinct Spirit Seed was not that simple. He hadn't fully explored the function of the first groove.
Perhaps he should find time to test if other Spirit Roots could be enhanced to verify his hypothesis.
However, these matters had to be put on hold. The urgent task was to stabilize his foundation.
As his master had said, after breaking through fourteen acupoints in one day, he couldn't consume the century-old snow lotus heart's seeds or rush his cultivation for a while.

He had recently advanced a thousand Spirit Stones worth of ingredients from the Medicine Gate that he hadn't yet refined. Once he refined these ingredients, his spiritual energy would solidify, and he could continue his cultivation.
Time, he needed time the most now, wishing he could use two days in one. Mark Ye had already reached the third level of Qi Refinement, while he was still struggling at the second level.
Realizing he was lost in thought, Ghost Guest shook his head to clear his mind, calming himself completely before starting to refine the Acupoint Breakthrough Pills.
After breaking through to the second level of Qi Refinement, he deeply felt the increasing need for Spirit Stones in his cultivation. The Spirit Stones earned from selling Rejuvenation Pills were barely enough. The more expensive Acupoint Breakthrough Pills were undoubtedly a better choice.
The furnace fire gradually ignited, reflecting in Ghost Guest's eyes. Inside the fiercely burning pill furnace, a pill slowly took shape.
