Hu Shan’s mouth twitched, he suspected that Xu Yan had just spent nearly all of his Spirit Tickets and was now red-eyed with poverty, hoping to lure people into a robbery to earn some Spirit Crystals.
After the trio left the Lanping prefecture, Hu Shan exuded a Grandmaster’s aura, immediately deterring many onlookers in the shadows. They withdrew and abandoned their intentions to rob them.
In this way, Martial Artists below the Grandmaster level were effectively screened out.
The one who dared to rob the three of them would naturally be a Grandmaster Martial Artist.
“If someone comes to rob us, as long as they hand over their money bags obediently, let them go then. After all, we’re the ones who lured them into the robbery, so there’s no need to kill. I’m not a bloodthirsty person,” Xu Yan turned to Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan and said.
Xie Lingfeng nodded to indicate that he understood.
Hu Shan rolled his eyes, muttering to himself: such principled action you’re taking!
Wealth moves the heart; the trio hadn’t traveled far from the prefecture city when they were interrupted by Martial Artists.
Moreover, there were six Grandmaster Martial Artists.
All of them wore face masks, fearing to be recognized. They must be somewhat reputed Grandmaster Martial Artists within Lanping prefecture.
“Even Grandmaster Martial Artists can get this destitute that they resort to robbery?” Xu Yan exclaimed with sincere regret.
“Brother Xu, we have too many Spiritual Medicines on us, robbing us would provide them worry-free supply for more than a decade. Not all Grandmasters are wealthy,” Xie Lingfeng helplessly said.
Perhaps it was his previous assertion that Grandmasters are top-notch Martial Artists in the Inner Domain, lofty and superior, which gave Xu Yan the mistaken impression that all Grandmasters are wealthy?
“Six against three, and the odds are in our favor. You three should know how to choose, right? Leave your stuff here, and we won’t make things difficult for you,” said one of the robbing Grandmaster Martial Artists in a serious tone.
Xu Yan raised his hand and slapped out, a Golden Giant Dragon spiraled out and swirled around the six Grandmasters. He laughed lightly and said, “Robbing me? What a blessing! Hand over your money bags, or die!”
The robbing Grandmasters were nearly scared out of their wits. A slap summoned a Golden Giant Dragon? This is Xu Yan, the Sword God’s signature cultivation technique!
They looked again and realized that the one carrying the large bundle was just a teenager…
“Sword God, spare us!” They instantly knelt down.
They actually attempted to rob Xu Yan?
Xu Yan collected six money bags, glanced at them, and nodded, “Let’s go. And remember, don’t reveal my identity.” Xu Yan warned.
“Yes, yes!” The six Grandmaster Martial Artists left in a state of disarray.
As for whether they would reveal Xu Yan’s identity, absolutely not. Who in their right mind would want to reveal their own stupidity of attempting to rob Sword God Xu Yan when they were the ones who ended up in misfortune? If other people also ended up in trouble, even if the news did eventually get out, they wouldn’t be the only ones laughed at.
The six Grandmaster Martial Artists held their tongues, they were absolutely not going to admit that they had tried to rob Xu Yan.
As dignified Grandmasters, they would never stoop to something as base as highway robbery!
The trio, Xu Yan, encountered several waves of robbers. However, after they had moved far enough from Lanping prefecture, they didn’t encounter more Grandmaster robbers. After all, the number of Grandmaster Martial Artists is limited.
Besides, not all Grandmaster Martial Artists would resort to robbery.
“Brother Xu, why did you buy so many Spiritual Medicines?” Xie Lingfeng curiously asked.
Xu Yan seemed to have a particular fondness for Spiritual Medicines. He earned Spirit Crystals just to buy more Spiritual Medicines.
“I’m taking them back for my junior sister to use them in Alchemy.” Xu Yan didn’t bother to hide it.
“Junior sister?” Xie Lingfeng’s eyes widened, forming large circles. Had his senior accepted another disciple?
He was really envious!
“What is Alchemy?” Xie Lingfeng immediately asked, puzzled.
“Pills! The method my master passed down to my junior sister, you will know when you go there. Those pills are incomparable to the ones in the Inner Domains,” Xu Yan cheerfully said.
The trio’s speed got faster and faster, and they began to hide their tracks to avoid being tracked.
Once they crossed this mountain, they would be able to enter the border wilderness.
Su Lingxiu had conceptualized the flowchart of Alchemy, drawn it on a piece of paper, and annotated each step for Alchemy.
The most critical, and also the most difficult step in the whole Alchemy process, was the final congealment into a pill.
“Master, what do you think?” Su Lingxiu unfolded the schematic diagram of the Alchemy assembly line that she had drawn and showed it to her master.
Li Xuan took a look, silently praising it in his heart. His disciple, Su Lingxiu, indeed had an exceptional talent for Alchemy.
He had only made a casual suggestion, but she had already implemented it.
“There should be no problems. Trial run it a few times, and if there are issues, you can adjust accordingly,” Li Xuan nodded in approval.
“I’m going to start preparing right away, selecting talented people to learn the process of alchemy.”
Lingxiu was brimming with excitement.
It was necessary to prepare for entering the Inner Domain in advance.
Elixirs were the foundation of Chang Qing Pavilion.
She immediately informed Kou Ruozhi to select a group of people and prepare a selection of herbal materials. When she was free, she would teach them the steps of alchemy, passing on the skill to the members of Chang Qing Pavilion.
With sufficient Spiritual Medicine, there would naturally be no lack of elixirs. With elixirs to assist, the speed of cultivation would naturally increase rapidly.
However, Lingxiu was a bit troubled as she had not yet gleaned anything from The Eight Diagrams.
What she lacked was a potent movement technique.
“I will wait for my senior brother to return and ask for his guidance.”
Lingxiu thought to herself.
She had prepared a new batch of Golden Body Pills and had come to the small hill outside the estate.
“Second senior brother, this is the Golden Body Pill.”
Meng Chong received the Golden Body Pill, saying, “Junior sister, we have enough elixirs. Temporarily, there’s no need to prepare more Golden Body Pills. You should also spend more time on your own cultivation.”
“Second senior brother, alchemy is also a form of my cultivation.”
Lingxiu said with a smile.
Meng Chong thought about it, then nodded. His junior sister was cultivating the path of an alchemist martial artist, and alchemy was indeed a part of her cultivation.
“Second senior brother, how much longer till you break through?”
Lingxiu curiously asked.
“Not too far away.”
Meng Chong laughed. He was using Golden Body Pills to nourish his acupoints. Each acupoint should harbor a mystery, which he had not yet cultivated.
For one of the acupoints, he was cultivating his sword intent, storing up a hidden trump card so he could unleash a blow that would exceed his own limits at critical moments.
As always, Li Xuan used a bamboo stick to point out acupoints on Red Cat’s body, repeating the methods of a high-grade magical beast.
After Red Cat heard it, it would leave in a seemingly understanding manner, lying at the entrance of the estate, appearing deep in thought.
The elixirs made from discarded Spiritual Medicine were surprisingly effective, causing Red Cat’s body to become larger yet again, forcing Shi’er to replace the gold chain once more.
” Your disciple Xu Yan has slashed down a Great Grandmaster. Your Sword Dao experience has increased, and your understanding of the Sword Intent of Obliteration has improved.”
Suddenly, a golden light appeared.
Li Xuan was taken aback. Xu Yan had killed another Great Grandmaster?
“Your disciple Xu Yan has obliterated a Great Grandmaster with a single palm strike. Your experience in the Descending Dragon Palm has increased, and your understanding of the Intent of Dragon Power has improved.”
The golden light appeared again.
Li Xuan drew a sharp breath in. Was Xu Yan being ambushed?
“Could it be the force where the black-robed man belongs?”
Presently, the only ones who would ambush Xu Yan were either from the black-robed man’s faction or from the Demon Lord Huo Tu’s faction.
A considerable moment had passed with no feedback from the Golden Finger.
“So only two Great Grandmasters are ambushing him?”
Li Xuan shook his head; the two Great Grandmasters dared to ambush Xu Yan. They must be tired of living.
“Xu Yan, it should be time for him to come back?”
Meng Chong had been back for almost a month now.
The next day, as Li Xuan was planning to go instruct Lingxiu on comprehending The Eight Diagrams.
All of a sudden.
Golden light appeared.
“Your disciple Xu Yan has realized the cultivation technique of Tongxuan Realm you created, and you break through to the Tongxuan Realm!”
Xu Yan had truly understood the cultivation technique of the Tongxuan Realm! BOOM!
Li Xuan could sense that his entire body was undergoing earth-shattering changes. His vast True Qi was gradually transforming into True Yuan.
His strength was skyrocketing at this moment.
Moreover, he felt that he could now merge his True Yuan with nature’s spiritual energy at will, control nature’s spiritual energy, and unleash the Great Power of Heaven and Earth!
He had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm!
The Qi Sea in his Dantian was now boundless, having been transformed into an ocean. The vast True Qi had become True Yuan, like surging waves rolling in his Dantian.
Once circulated, it flowed like a river throughout his body.
“So, this is the Tongxuan Realm, truly formidable!”
Li Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
The martial arts that he had created were indeed powerful. Amidst the third stage of martial arts, he seemed to have begun controlling the Great Power of Heaven and Earth.
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth above the estate immediately converged into a sword, floating in mid-air, this sword containing a terrifying might.
As if it held the power of Heaven and Earth.
“Comprehension of the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, and the initial touch of the Great Power of Heaven and Earth; this is the Tongxuan Realm!”
Li Xuan revealed a contented smile.
With a single thought, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth he had been manipulating dissipated. The sky above the estate returned to normal, as if nothing had happened..
