I can gather experience beads

Spirit Mine Island. In a depression on the island.

In front of Cao Rui, five magic swords flew up tremblingly. He frowned slightly and whispered to himself: "According to the introduction of Shen Yuan Jue, only when the spiritual awareness reaches a range of more than ten miles can one control five first-level magic swords at the same time and practice the Great Five Elements Sword Formation."

He took a deep breath and felt the powerful power of his spiritual consciousness. After the tempering of the Divine Yuan Jue, he had expanded the power of his spiritual consciousness to a range of twelve miles, far exceeding most foundation-building period.

This means that he has reached the minimum requirements for practicing the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

However, despite this, it is by no means easy to control five magic swords at the same time.

Each magic sword requires precise control and coordination to bring out the maximum power of the sword formation. For Cao Rui, who was trying it for the first time, this was undoubtedly a huge challenge.

He concentrated his mind and tried to make the five magic swords fly steadily in the air, but they seemed to be out of control and swayed as if they would fall down at any time.

Cao Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, realizing that controlling five magic swords at the same time was more difficult than he had imagined.

After all, the magic swords were not just weapons, but also an extension of his consciousness. When he tried to manipulate five magic swords at the same time, it was like manipulating five weighted hands to do different movements at the same time, which required a high degree of concentration and coordination.

This ability is not acquired overnight; it requires constant practice and refinement.

Ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage usually only control one magic weapon to fight the enemy, and it is rare for them to control two magic weapons.

It was naturally very difficult for Cao Rui to control five magical weapons at once.

"This Great Five Elements Sword Formation requires a lot of time to practice."

Cao Rui closed his eyes, and the contents of the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation emerged in his mind.

He saw a picture of five magic swords flying in the air, each of which was flashing a different light. These lights represented the power of the five elements, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation is called "Five Swords at Once". Its purpose is to help Cao Rui fully master the skills and essence of manipulating the five magic swords to fight against the enemy.

It is also the cornerstone of the entire Great Five Elements Sword Formation. Only through continuous practice can Cao Rui use the five magic swords as flexibly as his own arms.

When he reaches this realm, he can display the unique skill of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation - five swords coming out at the same time.

Although this is only the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, if Cao Rui can successfully cultivate to this level, then his combat effectiveness will become extremely powerful among cultivators of the same level.

Because in the foundation-building period, very few cultivators can wield five magic swords at the same time to fight the enemy.

Once Cao Rui is able to master this ability, his advantage in battle will become very obvious.

Cao Rui began to practice according to the contents of the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

Cao Rui needs to divide his spiritual consciousness into five parts, with each part focusing on a magic sword. He needs to establish a close connection with the magic sword through his thoughts to achieve one-to-one precise control.

On the basis of controlling the five consciousnesses, through constant practice, the five consciousnesses can be made highly synchronized, as if the five magic swords are commanded by the same will, with consistent actions and orderly attacks and defenses.

It is difficult to rely solely on spiritual consciousness, but the content of the magic formula uses the principle of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements to achieve simultaneous control of the five magic swords.

Through the control of spiritual consciousness, a dynamic five-element cycle or mutual restraint chain is formed between the magic swords, thereby enhancing the overall power and flexibility of the sword formation.

For example, when the Fire Sword attacks, the Wood Sword can provide spiritual support, while the Water Sword is ready to deal with possible backlash from the fire.

Cao Rui practiced for several hours.

The experience beads of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation finally appeared in Cao Rui's mind.

"My soul is a little tired."

"Controlling five magic swords consumes too much energy."

Cao Rui looked at the experience beads in his mind. The experience value required to enter the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation was 10%.

According to the current progress, it will take about a month to complete the introduction.

Cao Rui sat cross-legged to restore his spirit and energy.

After half an hour, Cao Rui recovered his spiritual strength and continued to practice the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

The more he practiced the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, the more vigorous Cao Rui's spirit and energy became.

In the end, Cao Rui completed the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation earlier than expected.

At this time, the experience beads of the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation in his mind had reached 10%.

Cao Rui clicked on the experience value with his mind, and the purple experience value in the experience bead flowed into the depths of Cao Rui's consciousness.

"So that's how it is."

After a moment, Cao Rui suddenly opened his eyes.

Cao Rui made sword gestures with his hands, and five magic swords surrounded his body in an extremely neat manner according to Cao Rui's control.

The five magic swords, each flashing with light of different attributes, are full of spiritual energy under the circulation of the five elements.

"kill!"

Cao Rui stretched out his hand and pointed, and five magic swords flew out immediately, moving freely within the range of his spiritual consciousness.

Killing people with the Ten-Li Flying Sword is more than just a joke.

However, the farther away you are, the weaker the power of spiritual control will naturally become.

At the current stage, Cao Rui can ensure that the power of the magic sword will not be weakened within a hundred meters. Beyond this range, as the distance increases, the transmission distance of magic power and spiritual consciousness becomes longer, and the power will naturally weaken.

“Getting started is still far from enough.”

"Moreover, the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation must be cultivated to at least the minor success stage before the second level can be cultivated."

Cao Rui decided to continue his retreat.

More than two months later.

In the back mountain of the island, five magic swords intertwined with each other to form a brilliant sword light that shot towards the void!

This is the first level of the ultimate move, five swords are used at the same time!

Cao Rui finally completed the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation.

Cao Rui floated in the air, making sword gestures with his hands, and five magic swords fell into Cao Rui's storage bag with a whoosh. It was obvious that his sword-controlling speed increased with the improvement of his realm.

"The end of the year is approaching. It's time to hunt some monsters, test the power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, and then go back to Qingling Market." Cao Rui thought to himself.

It was already mid-November.

There is only one and a half months left until the end of the year.

As winter approaches, the temperature in the East China Sea begins to drop rapidly.

Next year, he still has to pay Yun Changsheng 50,000 spirit stones. Cao Rui has to go back and collect some spirit stones before he can make the payment.

In the past three months, the mineral island has produced another 13,000 kilograms of spiritual pattern black crystal.

Cao Rui now has nearly 30,000 kilograms of spiritual pattern crystals on his body.

It’s already a lot of reserves.

As the ore vein is mined to the bottom, the storage capacity can be roughly predicted. The total storage of spiritual pattern crystals should be around 70,000 to 80,000 kilograms, no more than 100,000.

In other words, if we continue mining for another year next year, we will be able to complete the mining of almost all the spiritual pattern crystals.

At that time, Cao Rui would not have to travel all the way to the eastern part of Yunzhou.

As for hunting monsters in the Endless Sea, there is also an Endless Sea in the southwest of Yunzhou.

After instructing Qian Xiaotong and others to ensure a good daily mining volume, Cao Rui flew up on his sword and flew towards the depths of the endless sea.

To be on the safe side, Cao Rui chose the most barren sea area on the right.

At worst, you can just run a little further and you will always be able to find a suitable second-level monster to hunt in the endless sea.
