Both of them tried to persuade Xiao Chen, but to no avail. They could only watch helplessly as Xiao Chen absorbed the violent energy. It was just that the expected death did not happen.

In fact, it was all right.

Mu Qinxue and Mu Tianhai acted as if they had seen a ghost. Even someone as strong as Mu Tianhai did not dare to directly absorb the violent energy of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng. However, Xiao Jiu simply continued his refinement and absorption, as if nothing had happened.

"This …"

Seeing this scene, Mu Tianhai was speechless.

This was completely against common sense. Indeed, in this kid's body, only breaking common sense was normal.

"You've absorbed a thousand year old Blood Ginseng. How's your cultivation?"

In comparison to Mu Tianhai's shock, Mu Qingxue was more concerned about this.

"Of course!" Xiao Jiu smiled mysteriously before forming a strange seal in his hand. A burst of mystical Qi appeared, "A piece of mystical Qi!"

"One stage of Xuan Qi!"

Mu Qingxue was puzzled as to why it was only a piece of profound energy. A treasure of the level of a thousand year old Blood Ginseng could, if absorbed by an ordinary martial artist, break through one or two levels, but Xiao Jiu was still able to cultivate and produce a piece of profound energy.

"There are a total of nine levels in the Refinement Realm, and each level requires one to train in the tenth level of the Xuan Qi. However, you only practiced one stage of the Xuan Qi after consuming the thousand-year Blood Ginseng!"

Mu Tianhai shook his head as he was also puzzled. This brat was so mysterious. He had never seen so many things from him in his entire life.

For instance, forcefully refining and absorbing the medicinal properties of the 1000 year old blood ginseng. Was this boy afraid of being pushed to death? Even though Mu Tianhai said so, he was still cursing in his heart.

"My section is equivalent to someone else's section!"

Xiao Jiu faintly smiled as he spoke. If others were to hear this, they would definitely think that Xiao Jiu had gone mad. Why did you say that it was equivalent to ten segments of someone else? It was simply ridiculous to the extreme.

"The medicinal ingredients you asked me to find all have the effect of tempering the body. Taking these medicinal herbs can increase the strength of the body. Do you intend to use this method to temper the body?"

Mu Tianhai suddenly thought of a very important problem, which was that he had only noticed it when Xiao Jiu had taken the thousand-year blood ginseng.

"You're only half right!" Xiao Jiu could only nod at Mu Tianhai's words. Then he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do these things for nothing!"

"What are you saying, grandson-in-law? We will be family sooner or later, there's no need to be so formal." It's just that three months from now will be the day of the Five Great Academies' assessment. Sun Son-in-law's ambition to travel all over the world will be the opportunity for you to advance! "

A hint of sharpness flashed across Mu Tianhai's eyes when he heard this.

"I only know what to do with these matters!"

Xiao Jian stroked his sleeve and said with confidence.

"Actually, there's nothing important for me to attend to today. I'll just personally gift you the medicinal herbs." But unfortunately, one of the Fire Spirit Ganoderma couldn't be found! "

Mu Tianhai stroked his white beard and said with some pity. Xiao Jiu needed these things to prove his ambition. Although he did not know what Xiao Chen was going to do next, nor did he know why his cultivation level was so low.

"However, I did receive some information. There might be a Fire Spirit Zoysia on the Blazing Mountain northwest of the Graveyard of Gods. The growth and environment of a medicinal herb like the Fire Ganoderma is extremely harsh. Usually, it grows on the edge of the extremely hot volcanic lava, and even I don't dare to go near it. However, if you need it, I can take the risk! "

Mu Tianhai changed the topic. However, he was stopped by a gesture from Xiao Jiu.

"No need, I'll make a trip to Blazing Mountain myself!"

"The temperature in the Blazing Mountain is extremely high, and on the way to the Blazing Mountain, we might encounter a lot of powerful demon beasts. Are you sure you want to go?"

When Mu Qing Xue heard this, she was a bit shocked as well.

"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow, our Xiao family will have a young disciple's trial. The elders will lead the group to Blazing Mountain. I will follow the group!"

Xiao Jiu waved his hand and said.

"I'll go with you!"

Mu Qing Xue pondered for a moment before she spoke.

"No need, just a small mountain of fire, it can't keep me here!"

Xiao Jiu shook his head, refusing. Now, he could finally cultivate Xuan Energy in his body, but the speed of his cultivation was too slow. As long as he increased the strength of his body, he would be able to cultivate like a normal person.

This trip to the Blazing Mountain would be a good opportunity. According to the clan's arrangements, this experiential learning lasted only half a month, and it wasn't too long.

When he returned, he would be able to catch up with the clan's coming of age ceremony.

"Young Master Xiao, if there is nothing else, this old man will take his leave first. I have just broken through to the third level of the Core Formation Stage, I still need to stabilize my cultivation. If I encounter any problems in the future, please give my granddaughter some pointers!"

Mu Tianhai cupped his hands towards Xiao Jiu, put on his black cloak, and left. If others were to find out that the number one expert of the Great Desolate City, Mu Tianhai, was actually asking Xiao Chen for guidance, they wondered what kind of expression they would have.

"I need to rest. Go back!"

Xiao Jiu sat cross-legged on the pavilion, carefully brewing tea and speaking with a light tone.

"I'm going to rest too, why should I go back?"

Mu Qingxue tilted her head as she smiled.

"Do you want to stay here and sleep with me?"

Xiao Jian was a little stunned when he heard Mu Qingxue's words. He looked at her and asked. Mu Qingxue's beautiful figure moved and danced in the air. Like a fairy from the heavens, her delicate body fell into Xiao Jiu's embrace.

The fragrance of a young girl's body wafted into his mind. For a moment, Xiao Jiu was lost in thought.

After all, the young girl in his arms was known as the number one beauty of the eighteen cities of the Nine Prefectures, the goddess of dreams for countless young geniuses. A talent that surpassed others, a beauty that could topple empires; these words were not enough to describe it.

Was he supposed to feel lucky or was it unfortunate that such a cold flower had only bloomed for him?

"Can't you? You are my fiancé, even if I stay the night, who would dare to say anything? "

Mu Qingxue looked gently into Xiao Jiu's eyes as she tried to find what he was thinking, but she couldn't find what he was looking for.

He could not see through this man. He had the appearance of a weak scholar. He was powerless, and his words and actions lacked the manliness.

However, it was precisely this person that gave her a strange feeling. It was a person who had experienced a lot in the world, experiencing many vicissitudes of life. She was unable to see through this man. There seemed to be an inexplicable attraction from him that made her unable to look away.

"If you want to sleep with me, then I have to agree!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu said with a faint smile.

"With your little cultivation, is it even worth me to ask you?" If I use force now, do you think you have any chance of fighting back? "

Mu Qingxue was so close to Xiao Jiu that she sniffed his manly scent. Suddenly, her face turned bright red and was alluring, causing people to feel sorry for her. However, Xiao Jiu turned his head away at this moment and did not look at Mu Qingxue's expression.

"You can try!"

Xiao Jiu laughed bitterly.

"Tell me, who do you think you are?"

Mu Qingxue had been gently pressing her hand on Xiao Jiu's chest as she slowly asked. She was very curious as to what sort of existence occupied so much of a place in Xiao Jiu's heart.

Beautiful like her, Xiao Jiu was unwilling to even glance at her.

"A dead person is also a living person!"

Xiao Jiu raised his head slightly and looked at the long night sky. He then said a mysterious sentence and listened to Mu Qingxue's words. Mu Qingxue did not press him further and only lightly leaned against his chest.

Time passed. It was unknown how much time had passed, but Mu Qingxue, who was in his embrace, had already fallen into a deep sleep. Seeing Mu Qingxue's expression, Xiao Jiu suddenly felt a tinge of guilt.

He and Mu Qingxue had known each other since childhood, and even though they weren't common acquaintances, they could be considered childhood friends. Back then, when the Xiao family was strong, the Xiao family and the Mu family were friends through generations. That was why they had such a marriage.

In the eyes of the onlookers, Mu Qingxue and Xiao Jiu did not have much interaction. Perhaps only Mu Qingxue herself knew the special feelings she had for Xiao Jiu.

Ever since she was young, this weak and gentle man had guided her in her cultivation. He even knew more than the teachers of the Martial Arts Academy. Under his careful guidance, she had achieved what she was today. However, because the Xiao family was gradually declining, her father had forced her to not interact with Xiao Jiu. In other words, six or seven years ago, she hadn't seen Xiao Chen often.

However, as the years went by, that feeling became stronger and stronger.

Ever since he was young, he had always deliberately kept his distance. He said that his heart was occupied by a dead woman and he couldn't hold anyone else. Sometimes, she was even a little jealous of that dead woman.

The night was as dark as ink. Xiao Chen did not sleep for the entire night. After he absorbed the thousand-year blood ginseng, he needed to absorb the remaining medicinal energy in his body.

According to his current physique, he wouldn't be able to completely absorb the energy of the thousand year old blood ginseng. He had only absorbed most of it into the ancient sword.

One of the methods to awaken the Ancient Sword of Sky Law was to find other fragments. However, when the Ancient Sword of Sky Law was destroyed by him, he could not remember how many pieces it broke into. I am afraid that in this lifetime, there will never be a way for me to assemble the Heaven Punisher Ancient Sword again.

As for the other method, it was to make the ancient sword continuously absorb heaven and earth treasures. However, Xiao Jiu was also invincible in his heart because of the amount of heaven and earth treasures that the ancient sword had to absorb to be able to awaken.

A black light flashed in Xiao Chen's hand as a stalk of Blueblood Grass and a Scarlet Flame Fruit appeared in his palm. The Blueblood Grass and the Red Fiery Vermillion Fruit both had the same effect of raising one's cultivation, strengthening one's physical body.

After cultivating the Xuan Qi, Xiao Chen's speed of refining the Blueblood Grass and the Scarlet Flame Fruit had increased by a lot. He absorbed a portion of the energy from the Blueblood Grass and the Scarlet Flame Fruit into his body and stored the rest into the ancient Heaven Punishment Sword.

As for himself, he closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly refining the medicinal strength within his body.
