Chapter 7 - Blood Gleam Blade Art

Chapter 7 - Blood Gleam Blade Art

Xu Yilin shook his head and sighed. He had already lost hope for Liu Wuxie while everyone else mocked his son-in-law.

The Treasure Pill Pavilion delivered a massive package of herbal ingredients and a cauldron. They were attentive and careful, providing everything he needed.

Liu Wuxie returned to his courtyard and closed the door. He wasn’t worried about being disturbed because no one usually came here.

He dumped all the herbs on the ground, making them pile up in the yard. He also brought out a big tub and got some clean water from the well. Since he didn’t have pill flames, he could only use some dried wood. He lit them up, set up the cauldron, and threw the herbs into it.

The Body-Refining Elixir couldn’t even be considered a first-grade pill. But it had unexpected effects basking in it and was most suitable for strengthening the muscles and bones.

Liu Wuxie was a bit rusty at first, but he quickly got used to it and sped up, and the whole courtyard was filled with a strong herbal smell. He spent half a day refining a basin of Body-Refining Elixir and poured one-third into the tub before stripping his clothes down to a piece of underwear and entering the tub.

The moment his skin came in contact with the water, a piercing pain from deep into his bones coursed through his meridians, clearing the impurities within his body. He also circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, and the spiritual energy in the courtyard formed a vortex above his head.

The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron began to absorb the liquid rapidly, which could speed up his cultivation, allowing him to reach the Xiantian Realm quickly.

Liu Wuxie’s meridians ached terribly as they purged the impurities from his body. The water in the tub, once clear, turned black and foul-smelling. The tub reeked as the water darkened.

He cultivated for two hours and heard his bones pop and crackle. A soothing feeling filled his body. He felt as if he had cleansed himself from the inside out.

“That feels great!” Liu Wuxie performed a fist technique in the middle of the courtyard, adapting to the changes in his body. After he finished, he dried his forehead with a towel. Then he sat down, crossing his legs, and several martial techniques appeared in his mind.

“Now that I have resolved my need for a cultivation technique, it’s time to practice martial techniques. I used a blade in my past life and should stick to it in this lifetime.”

Finding suitable martial techniques out of so many cultivation techniques was difficult, and it was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. After all, not only did it have to be suitable to his cultivation technique, but it also had to be suitable to this world. This was because he couldn’t perform high-leveled martial techniques with true essence, or he might risk hurting himself from the backlash.

“Tell me, who instructed you to do this?” A trace of murderous intent shot out from Liu Wuxie’s eyes, causing Tie Li to stagger.

“Feeding a piece of trash like you is no different from wasting food. I don’t like you, so I chopped your table and chair and used it for firewood. So what can you do to me?” Tie Li said, gesturing to slap Liu Wuxie.

To others, Liu Wuxie was just a trash at the first level of the Houtian Realm. Even the lowest servant could push him around, and Liu Wuxie would only complain to his father-in-law. This made everyone despise him even more, and he had to endure it silently.

But without any warning, Liu Wuxie gave Tie Li a frontal kick in his stomach. This sent Tie Li flying away. He coughed up a mouthful of blood as he crashed into the crowd, smashing all the tables and chairs in his way.

“How dare a piece of trash like you lay your hands on me!” Tie Li stood up. He didn’t suffer any injuries and wore a furious gaze. He grabbed a chair within his reach and dashed it toward Liu Wuxie.

The crowd quickly parted, giving the two ample space to fight. No one dared to interfere.

“You’re nothing more than a cook hired by the Xu Clan, and it looks like you need a beating for you to understand your position!” Liu Wuxie faced Tie Li head-on. After having his physique nourished by the Body-Refining Elixir, his strength increased by several folds. So even if he didn’t make a breakthrough yet, he wasn’t far from it. He could reach the fifth level of the Houtian Realm within the next couple of days.

He didn’t respect many people in the Xu Clan except his father-in-law. They had beaten him up many times over the years, and he had to get his revenge. He would give them what they deserved.

Tie Li was strong with cultivation at the fourth level of the Houtian Realm. He used his force to pick up the chair and slam it down on Liu Wuxie.

“You’re courting death!” Striding the Seven Stars Step, Liu Wuxie dodged Tie Li’s attack and kicked him in his foot. His kick made Tie Li fall flat on his face, hitting the ground. He lay on the threshold with his face covered in blood. Liu Wuxie held back because he didn’t want to kill him but merely teach him a lesson.

The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes. They didn’t know how Liu Wuxie became so powerful that he beat Tie Li.

Tie Li struggled to stand up, and his face twisted with rage. He grabbed a kitchen knife from outside the door.

“Tie Li, stop!” Someone stepped forward. It was okay if Tie Li hit Liu Wuxie, but they would all get in trouble with the Xu Clan if Liu Wuxie’s life were in danger.

“Screw you!” Tie Li had already lost his rationale from the humiliation of losing to Liu Wuxie. Like a wild beast, he slashed the kitchen knife at Liu Wuxie’s face.

“You want to die? Fine by me!” Liu Wuxie didn’t plan to kill Tie Li at first. But since Tie Li asked for it, he would grant his wish. He moved so fast that he left a blur behind. He appeared behind Tie Li and aimed a palm strike at his back. This strike would kill Tie Li with its force.

“Stop!” Xu Yilin appeared in the nick of time. Someone had informed him about the fight, and he came to stop this farce.
