After eating the discarded pill, Red Cat’s eyes sparkled brightly as they fixated on Su Lingxiu, rolling over to reveal its belly continuously, its face full of appeasement. Clearly, after consuming the pill, the tiger discovered that the medicine was beneficial to it!

Having concocted pills, Su Lingxiu began to assist Zhou Ying in transitioning her cultivation to Martial Arts.

Zhou Ying’s foundation in Martial Arts was nearly fixed, and transitioning required time. Without the aid of pills, it would be even more difficult to make the switch.

Fortunately, her realm was not too high.

After consuming the pills and accumulating Qi-Blood, she finally succeeded in sensing Qi-Blood and entered the Skin Refinement stage.

With her original Martial Arts strength and the aid of pills, Zhou Ying swiftly completed the Skin Refinement process and successfully made her transition to Martial Arts.

Su Lingxiu also breathed a sigh of relief and began to focus on cultivating and delving into the path of Pill Medicine Martial Path.

That day, Xu Yan returned.

Li Xuan learned that Xu Yan’s father had broken through the Qi-Blood Realm and had officially entered the threshold of Martial Arts.

“Is it because there are too few cultivators, and their realms are too low, while my realm is too high, that 1 didn’t receive any feedback?”

Li Xuan thought to himself.

After paying respects to his master, Xu Yan handed over the medicinal herbs he brought back to Su Lingxiu, as well as matters concerning pills.

“Junior sister, do you have any Youth Retaining Pills? 1 want to give them to my mother.”

Xu Yan asked.

“Youth Retaining Pills?”

Su Lingxiu pondered, various Spiritual Medicines surfacing in her mind. She picked out certain characteristics of some herbs and gradually pieced together an immature pill formula.

“There should be such pills, but the ingredients for Youth Retaining Pills must be Spiritual Medicines. Unfortunately, I only have one sort, the Aquatic Spiritgrass, which isn’t suitable for concocting Youth Retaining Pills,”

Su Lingxiu said, shaking her head.

Xu Yan was overjoyed, “Junior sister, just give me the list of Spiritual Medicines. Once I go to the Inner Domain, 1’11 make sure to gather all these herbs.”

“Junior sister, you have Spiritual Medicines?”

Immediately after, Xu Yan asked in surprise.

“Second senior brother brought them back.”

With a grave expression, Su Lingxiu recounted everything about Meng Chong to Xu Yan.

“The demonic sect again, this is outrageous!”

Xu Yan was furious upon hearing the news. Last time, it was Xue Wuxin from the demonic sect, and Meng Chong was nearly killed. Now it was the demonic sect again, and he made a secret resolve.

Once he went to the Inner Domain, he would settle scores with the demonic sect!

“Junior brother has comprehended Saber Intent? That’s great, I’ll go find him!”

Xu Yan said excitedly.

Su Lingxiu’s eyes lit up. Their eldest senior brother had comprehended Sword Intent, and the second had comprehended Saber Intent; it seemed a spar was in order.

She hurriedly followed Xu Yan up the slope.

Seeing this, Shi’er, leading Red Cat, also went to watch the excitement.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow but did not go to watch, knowing the likely outcome in his heart.

Meng Chong’s Saber Intent was domineering and unrivaled, possessing the aura of slicing through heaven and earth.

Xu Yan’s Mountains and Rivers Sword Intent appeared continuous like mountains and rivers, seemingly not sharp, yet concealed a murderous and ruthless edge, even more fierce and unforgiving.

When mountains and rivers collapse, all living beings perish!

“Junior brother, you’ve comprehended Saber Intent? Come, let’s spar.”

Xu Yan said, unable to contain his excitement.

“Alright!”

Meng Chong also wore an excited look.

Sparing to verify each other’s understanding was beneficial for further insights.

Su Lingxiu and Shi’er stood at a distance, observing the two on the slope.

Red Cat lay on the ground, its eyes spinning, seemingly looking for an opportunity to escape.

Whumm!

Suddenly, a supremely domineering aura rose, with Saber Intent surging, rendering the atmosphere solemn, as if it sought to annihilate everything.

Red Cat immediately shivered in fear, eyes wide with terror.

Too terrifying.

“What a terrifying Saber Intent, is this what Saber Intent is?”

Shi’er was astonished.

He envied this power, a pity that his innate gifts limited him from comprehending the Saber Intent.

Su Lingxiu clenched her fists and stared at the two senior brothers on the slope. This was the Saber Intent of the second senior brother, but what about the Sword Intent of the eldest senior brother?

Whumm!

A gentle yet infinitely grand Sword Intent unfolded, as if encompassing mountains, rivers, and all living creatures. Even the domineering Saber Intent seemed enveloped by it.

Boom!

A thunderous sound erupted as the Saber Intent and Sword Intent clashed with each other.

Meng Chong’s expression turned solemn. His supreme Saber Intent surged repeatedly, as if to sever mountains and rivers. However, the vast expanse of mountains and rivers was unending, seemingly infinite and boundless.

The unparalleled Blade Intent of Ren Bajue ran rampant, yet the mountains and rivers remained unshaken.

Xu Yan was surprised inside, “Junior brother’s Blade Intent, how domineering!”

“Senior brother, 1 am about to strike with my blade!”

Meng Chong said in a deep voice.

“Good!”

Xu Yan nodded.

Hum!

A blade light blossomed, matchlessly tyrannical, as if it sought to tear apart heaven and earth.

At this moment, a vast Sword Intent rose mightily, as if mountains and rivers were flowing. In the blink of an eye, the mountains and rivers overturned, all living beings fell into silence, fierce and merciless!

The Blade Intent dissipated, leaving only the Sword Intent lingering endlessly.

“Big senior brother’s Mountains and Rivers Sword Intent, I am inferior indeed!”

Meng Chong said with a sigh.

His Blade Intent was already matchless under the heavens, yet he had not expected that his senior brother’s Mountains and Rivers Sword Intent would conceal such fierce and merciless intent to kill.

“Junior brother, your Blade Intent, sharp and revealed, is unparalleled under the heavens. Even my Mountains and Rivers Sword Intent found it challenging to withstand.

“Today’s sparring has given me some new insights, and I have gained some fresh understanding of Sword Intent.”

Xu Yan said with a sigh.

Meng Chong was thoughtful; he, too, had gained some insights from the sparring just now. However, compared to his big senior brother, he was ultimately a step weaker.

“No wonder, our master ventured into the world because he took in big senior brother as a disciple, and only then did he continue to take disciples. Big senior brother’s Martial Arts presence, surpassing the prodigies of ancient times.”

Meng Chong sighed endlessly.

From a sparring session, the clash between Sword Intent and Blade Intent, Xu Yan and Meng Chong each gained something, both of them digesting their gains.

Su Lingxiu returned to the manor and began to comprehend the Pill Medicine Martial Path once again; she, too, had made some gains.

Only Shi’er looked puzzled, feeling only that it was very impressive and rather frightening.

He was somewhat ashamed, no wonder he could only serve as a servant; his talent was far too inferior, as he had not gained even the slightest insight.

Glancing at Zhou Ying, who was diligently cultivating, he sighed in relief, feeling much better knowing there was someone else in a similar position.

Xu Yan sat on the slope, immersed in his insights, with strands of Sword Intent swirling around him, constantly transforming. At one moment, the Sword Intent seemed ready to advance further, but then it abruptly came to a halt.

“My realm is not high enough, 1 cannot wield the second layer of Sword Intent.”

Xu Yan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath.

He had comprehended the second layer of Sword Intent.

Meng Chong also had his gains; the tyrannical Blade Intent appeared more restrained, capable of exploding in an instant within a heartbeat.

Li Xuan’s figure appeared on the slope. With one hand, he was playing with the Jade Ruyi, advancing with a leisurely and carefree pace.

When Xu Yan comprehended the second layer of Sword Intent, he had already received feedback from the Golden Finger.

“Your disciple Xu Yan has comprehended the second layer of Sword Intent, and your second layer of Sword Intent is complete.”

The second layer of Sword Intent!

Li Xuan was inwardly filled with sighs, having a disciple like Xu Yan, my Martial Arts undertaking must flourish!

Moving with unhurried steps, he arrived at the slope. It was also time to pass on to Meng Chong the second realm of the Blade Path.

To let him comprehend and ponder it in advance.

“Master!”

Meng Chong greeted respectfully.

“Hmm.”

Li Xuan nodded, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the distant horizon, all the while exhibiting the demeanor of a great master detached from worldly affairs.

“You have awakened the Blade Spirit and entered the threshold of the Blade Path, do you have any questions?”

Meng Chong’s spirits lifted as he said, “Master, should I cultivate the blade?

Just like initially, when nurturing the blade awakened the Blade Spirit?”

Li Xuan pondered in his heart, nurture the blade technique? It could indeed be a trump card, but nurturing the blade requires consumption, and can be somewhat detrimental to cultivation.

Besides, Meng Chong’s initial blade nurturing, the slash when he drew his blade, its immense power was due to the Blade Spirit awakening, suddenly releasing the nurtured Blade Intent.

He suddenly thought of the Blade Path levels he had devised; even if one were to nurture the blade, it should not be any ordinary blade; that was too common and nowhere near worthy of the profound Blade Path he had created.

With this thought, Li Xuan spoke up, “How to nurture the blade? You have already awakened the Blade Spirit, you should not be fixated on the blade in your hand, what you need to nurture is the blade in your heart.

“It’s your Blade Spirit you should be nurturing, the nurturing must happen within, not on the outside.

“If the treasured blade you’re nurturing were to be lost or stolen, wouldn’t that be futile?

“Don’t say things like ‘the blade won’t be separated from the body, it won’t be lost’. Therefore, what you need to nurture is the blade in your heart, the blade within your Blade Spirit.

“Only such a nurtured blade will never be lost.”

Meng Chong’s heart trembled, and a burst of enlightenment appeared in his mind, as if a skylight had opened, instantly gaining insight.

“Nurture the blade in my heart? The blade within the Blade Spirit?”

He murmured to himself, seemingly finding the direction to nurture his blade..
