"Could something have happened to Senior Brother Li Xun? Today is the third day, should we send out a distress signal?" Tian Fen was very worried about Li Xun. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they had a sense of reliance on him and naturally did not want anything to happen to him.

"Senior brother will definitely be fine, but if he doesn't return tomorrow morning, then we must send out a distress signal. After all, the six of you haven't managed to hunt down the Sword Soul yet." Su Mu said.

"Su Mu, you seem to have a lot of confidence in me."

Hearing Li Xun's voice, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"Senior Brother Li Xun."

"Senior apprentice-brother."

"..."

"Alright, alright, stop shaking. I've also walked through the gates of hell once. And don't ask me what the danger is, I don't want to remember. " Li Xun smiled. As the saying goes, there are many mistakes. His previous experiences were too bizarre and he needed to ensure the safety of the Purple Spirit Fire Fox's family. Naturally, he didn't want to discuss this issue with others.

"Senior Brother, you seem to have changed."

"Is it better or worse?"

"The one from before was not bad, but the one now is even better."

"Little girl, you sure know how to flatter people, but I like it."

"Senior Brother, then do you have some sort of reward?"

"Mm, worth considering."

"What are the rewards?"

"I'll tell you when I think about it."

"..."

"Zhou Jie, Cheng Kun, Qin Qing, Dong Nana, Tian Fen. The five of you surround that Rank 5 Black Wind Leopard. I'll leave it to you, Marshal Zhang. The sword spirit it contains should be very suitable for you."

"Alright, it's finally my turn after a few days."

"..."

"Damn, I lost my looks." Marshal Zhang covered his face, his voice was a bit dejected. Zhang Shuai, who always paid attention to his image, cursed. The previous battle had exhausted all of his energy and was extremely dangerous. However, it was resolved in the end. However, Zhang Shuai's face was scratched by the Black Wind Leopard.

"Hurry up and absorb the Sword Soul. A man with a scar on his face should be proud." Li Xun was displeased with Zhang Shuai's current state of mind.

Zhang Shuai knew that he had to absorb the Sword Soul first. Otherwise, his efforts would not have been in vain.

Half a day later, Zhou Jie, Cheng Kun, Dong Nana and Tian Fen had also successfully found the demonic beast that was suitable for them to fight alone and had successfully killed the sword spirit. However, the process was extremely thrilling and both Cheng Kun and Tian Fen were heavily injured.

"This time, our luck is pretty good. Aside from Qin Qing, everyone added a sword skill gem." Li Xun was very happy. He didn't even notice that after coming back from the Violet Sun Sect, the knot in his heart had already been lifted, and he had become very cheerful.

"Yes, yes, actually, I didn't have much hope in obtaining the sword skill gems this time. I heard from my seniors that from the fourth sword skill gems onwards, the chances of forming one are very low, no more than ten percent. Among the many seniors in our Profound Maiden School, there are less than ten people who possess four sword skill gems." Although Tian Fen's injuries were not light, she was still very satisfied with her harvest this time.

The others were also very happy. It could be said that everyone had a bountiful harvest.

"Qin Qing, come with me. I have something to ask you."

"Yes, Senior Brother Li Xun."

"Do you know of your strength, Zhou Jie and the others?"

"Na Na and Little Fen know, but Zhou Jie and Cheng Kun don't. Senior brother, there's no need to hide it from Zhou Jie and the others. They will know in the future."

"Show your soul sword."

"Yes."

"Four Treasures Green Rank sword, not bad. Do you know, the most suitable sword soul for you right now is an early stage seventh stage sword soul? "

"Level 7?"

"Senior brother, I'm afraid I can't handle this alone."

Qin Qing, I don't know if you are clear about this, but the first four levels of the Soul Sword are not very high, but from the Cyan Rank onwards, the selection for the advanced sword soul is extremely important for the new soul sword. If you can challenge the limit, then the new soul sword can increase the power of the first level of the Soul Sword by five times.

"Five times? Isn't it three times that? "

"If you choose a sword soul at the peak of the sixth step, you probably won't be able to do three times as many. But if you choose a sword soul at the early seventh step, you should be able to do five times as many."

"Senior brother, then can you help me? If you make a move, I think I can easily complete it."

"I won't help you. Do you think it's luck that each of them added a sword skill gem this time? He had to hunt down the sword spirit on his own, and the closer the hunted sword spirit got to his limit, the higher the chance he would have to form a sword art gem. If you can kill an early stage seventh step sword spirit, I estimate that the chances of you obtaining the fifth sword skill gem is close to one hundred percent. However, if I were to help you hunt them down, you would not be able to obtain the sword technique gems. Even if you were to absorb them, there is a high chance that you would suffer a backlash.

When he returned to the camp, he heard Zhang Shuai grumbling, "How unlucky. If my fiancée saw me when I got back, would she break the engagement?"

In the Sword Soul Continent, cultivators usually married late, because it was widely accepted that before thirty was the fastest time for everyone to cultivate, and the vast majority of people could use their achievements before thirty to deduce their future accomplishments. If too much energy is wasted on sex because of marriage, even the most talented of men will become mediocre.

"Boss, with your family background and your abilities, what do you have to worry about? Our strength is nothing in the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, but once we go down the mountain, we'll be considered as ordinary experts." Su Mu consoled.

Su Mu's words were true. Although one person in five could absorb the sword soul to cultivate the Soul Sword, most people could only sense the sword soul two to three times in their entire lives. A person like Zhang Shuai, who possessed a Three Treasures Yellow Ranked Sword, could also learn Silver Ranked Sword Techniques.

"Isn't it just a few scratches on your face that's worth you sighing for so long? "Truly useless." Li Xun said coldly.

"Senior Brother, my name is Zhang Shuai. Although I'm not a big fan, but I believe that I can bear the burden of this handsome character. But now, aren't I going to change my name?"

"So what if you're shameless. You can even carry the burden of being handsome. Forget it, I'll just see how your face is."

"Senior brother, are you saying that my scars can be removed?" Marshal Zhang was ecstatic. He knew that Li Xun would not speak without thinking.

"My legs are sore, my shoulders are sore."

"Senior brother, let me massage you."

"..."

The next morning.

"Senior Brother, I've thought it through. I'll listen to you." Qin Qing obediently arrived in front of Li Xun and said.

"Good, Zhang Shuai, I will bring Qin Qing to hunt for the Sword Spirit." Good, Zhang Shuai, I will bring Qin Qing to hunt for the Sword Soul. If you are in danger, you know how to notify me. "

"Senior Brother, don't worry." Ever since Marshal Zhang knew that the wounds on his face could be healed, he regained his usual liveliness. The four of them now possessed Green Rank Swords. Although they were injured yesterday, with Li Xun around, there was naturally a way to quickly recover their strength. Basically, Li Xun was injured every day when he was young, so it was more than enough for the people guarding the place to deal with four or five Rank 6 Demonic Beasts.

Li Xun led Qin Qing on a search for a while before finally locking onto a Double-Headed Demon Lion.

"Qin Qing, this Double-Headed Goblin Lion has only recently advanced to the early stage of the Seventh Order, but the fighting strength of lion-type Goblin Beasts are extremely strong, so the quality of their Sword Souls are very high. If you can absorb the Sword Souls that it has created, then the power of your new Soul Sword will increase fivefold. I can't go too close to it. All the Demonic Beasts are very sensitive, and if I appear, it's very likely that it will escape.

"Yes, senior brother." Qin Qing made up her mind. She took out her Four-headed Green Rank sword and slashed it towards the Double-Headed Lion.

At first, the Double-headed Elysian Lion didn't take the human girl seriously. It thought that she was just a free meal. However, after being injured by Qin Qing, it became more and more brutal.

"Qin Qing's combat experience is indeed more abundant than the others. At the beginning, he used the Double-Headed Demonic Lion's underestimation of the enemy to deliver a heavy blow. "However, even if we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to do anything. We'll just have to see if you have any backup plans or if you have enough stamina." Li Xun muttered to himself.

Fortunately, his agility and agility allowed him to sustain light injuries, but his physical strength had been reduced by a lot and he was unable to maintain his momentum. Furthermore, the attack of the Double-Headed Demon Lion had also slowed down, indicating that it had passed its most ferocious moment.

After fighting for another half an hour, danger was looming over Qin Qing. The Double-Headed Demon Lion roared in excitement and launched its final attack.

"OPEN! The Mystic Maiden Shield has been broken!" Using the energy from the sword skill gem, he used the [Mysterious Maiden Shield], a skill that combined both offense and defense. However, she didn't have much remaining physical strength, and the power of this move had been reduced as well, so if he couldn't defeat the Double-Headed Lion with this move, then he would have to die.

Qin Qing's eruption at the critical moment stunned the Double-Headed Demonic Lion. After all, demonic beasts were demonic beasts. To have intelligence comparable to that of a human was not something that it could possess. Just as the Double-headed Elysian Lion was about to turn and run, Qin Qing seized the opportunity to slice off its spine and stab through its throat. However, she also fell to the ground.

Right now, it was not the time for Qin Qing to rest so the sword spirit would quickly take form. Furthermore, the sword spirit's form would only be maintained for ten minutes, if no one absorbed it within ten minutes, the sword spirit would once again turn into the two-headed demon lion's corpse.

"Qin Qing, wake up quickly and absorb the sword soul before you sleep."

"Senior Brother, I, I'm so tired." At this moment, Qin Qing's countenance was extremely pale, and her lips were dry and cracked. It was obvious that she had exhausted herself too much.

"I know you are tired, but if you do not absorb the sword spirit now, your hard work will be in vain."

Qin Qing endured the exhaustion from her entire body and finally absorbed the Sword Soul formed by the Double-headed Elysian Lion. The originally dull Four-Jeweled Green Rank Sword in her hand turned into a Five Treasures Azure Rank Sword as expected, and with the resplendent azure light, the energy within the five gems was also abundant. The capacity of the single sword was also much more than that of an ordinary Five Treasures Azure Rank Sword. Looking at the newly formed Soul Sword, Qin Qing finally lost consciousness. The sword in her hand also disappeared without a trace.

Li Xun carried Qin Qing and headed back to the campsite. Along the way, the delicate fragrance of the young girl made Li Xun restless. "Sigh, it's been twenty years since I last smelled it. It smells so good. This Qin Qing has a pretty good figure. Although her looks can't compare to Dong Nana and Tian Fen, her personality is the most docile, one that I like." In his previous life, he and his girlfriend had always insisted on saving the best moment for the day of their marriage, so he was fully aware that Li Xun was an old virgin at 46 years of age. This kind of feeling wasn't something that an ordinary person could endure.

"Senior Brother, what happened to Sister Qing?" Seeing that Qin Qing had been carried back by Li Xun and was still unconscious, with multiple injuries on her body, Tian Fen was extremely worried.

"She's fine, she's just exhausted. Let her sleep for a while and she'll recover. Little Fen, Nana, you two carry her into the tent and help her with her wounds and change her clothes. I'll go get you some 'supplements'. "

"Alright, alright." The little girl was fine when she heard Qin Qing's name. Furthermore, she was able to eat the tonic that Li Xun had given her. Naturally, she was very happy.

Qin Qing slept all the way until the afternoon of the next day before she woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw the familiar tent, she smiled happily. I think I heard senior brother say something yesterday, it must be a dream. "

When Qin Qing came out of the tent, everyone was happy for her and full of envy, because they already knew from Li Xun that Qin Qing had killed an early Seventh Order two-headed demonic lion on her own and refined the Five Treasures Cyan Rank Sword. Qin Qing was already a Quasi-Seventh Order expert and was stronger than many of the sword masters in the Sword Faction.

"Sister Qing, congratulations." Tian Fen stepped forward to congratulate him.

Everyone came forward to congratulate him.

"Senior Brother Li Xun, thank you." Qin Qing walked up to Li Xun and bowed to him.

"There's no need to be courteous, I'm just doing my duty. If you have a good rest, then go eat something so that we can return to the sword sect."
