On the way ho, Han Shuangjiang kept glancing at Chu Huaixu out of the corner of her eyes, her heart filled with all kinds of entanglent and crazy thoughts.
Eventually, she started to resent this dead fox a little.
"Made my mind a complete ss!" she said to herself.
In the maple forest, a few maple leaves occasionally fell.
Chu Huaixu walked beside her, retrieving the Jade Scroll of [Feixuan] from his Storage Token.
"This body technique was originally nad [Form of a Crane], but I don’t really like that na, so I call it [Feixuan]."
"This technique is very powerful, definitely a top-tier among Profound Level Body Techniques. It’s also suitable for you to learn."
"As for the other [Fingertip Thunder], it’s too fierce and domineering. I’m on the path of Inner and Outer Cultivation, so my body’s Qi Force also complents it."
"Relatively speaking, with Zhegu Heaven in your hands, learning True Gang might not be as beneficial as learning swordsmanship."
"So I still suggest you take so Contribution Points from and go to the Library Pavilion to pick a Profound Level Swordsmanship." Chu Huaixu said.
Borrowing is inevitable, Big Ice Cube, you’re destined to owe a ton of debt.
According to Han Shuangjiang’s past nature, she would certainly decline a few tis.
But due to Chu Huaixu’s previous words, she directly accepted the Jade Scroll of [Feixuan], sowhat flustered, and put it into her Storage Token.
She even forgot to say thank you, and as she walked, her eyes kept looking at the piles of maple leaves on the ground.
Her heart was very chaotic, extrely turbulent.
Her heart lake, which should have been calm, was stirred into ripples by him.
After returning ho, even Xu Ziqing noticed that the atmosphere between Senior Brother and Senior Sister Han seed a bit strange?
"Senior Brother seems normal, but why does Senior Sister Han look like she’s avoiding Senior Brother?"
"Could it be that on this outing, Senior Brother made her angry?" Xiaoxu thought to himself.
Three days flew by.
Every deep night, Chu Huaixu was made ntally exhausted by his future master.
He was also curious, if he managed to endure the 30 days, and truly acquired Sword Intent, what kind of Sword Intent would it be?
"Big Ice Cube’s is Reincarnation Sword Intent."
"Then what about mine? What is my current characteristic?" he pondered.
And in these few days, Han Shuangjiang had returned to normal, no longer deliberately avoiding Chu Huaixu.
She borrowed so Contribution Points from him and exchanged them for a Profound Level Swordsmanship in the Library Pavilion, nad [Su Xue].
This swordsmanship possessed a strong, intense killing intent.
The sword techniques were sharp, and the coldness was overwhelming.
Big Ice Cube now basically practiced the Cultivation Technique at night and during the day practiced [Su Xue] and [Feixuan] in the courtyard.
Just last night, she surprisingly broke through one heaven.
At this rate, if she concentrated solely on cultivation and didn’t spend ti researching techniques, she might directly break through to the Second Realm before the East Continent competition.
Chu Huaixu, keeping his Experience Points, saw her diligently and painstakingly cultivating and practicing sword every day, thus deliberately letting her off for a few days, avoiding competing with her for the mont.
He truly feared that with her stubborn temperant, his provocation might lead her to train herself day and night, tirelessly.
Among the three-mber family, the one apparently not living up to expectations the most was Xu Ziqing.
Even though he obtained a fortune from Senior Brother, elevating his Pseudo Spiritual Embryo to Third Level Spiritual Embryo, his cultivation progress was still slow.
Chu Huaixu soaked him in the remnants of dicinal herbs after alchemy, yet after so many days, he still hadn’t opened the Eighth Acupoint.
"I still need to rely on pills!" he thought.
Fortunately, he recently purchased four types of Pill Formulas from the Treasure Pavilion, and one of the Spirit Pills was just suitable for the Acupoint Opening Stage. He used the dicine Cauldron to refine 20 pills.
When Xu Ziqing received the elixir and saw Chu Huaixu’s exhausted appearance, he was almost moved to tears.
Both he and Han Shuangjiang thought it was due to alchemy.
The pillar of the household indeed seed a bit overburdened with toil.
In terms of learning techniques, Han Shuangjiang’s talent, although not as heaven-defying as Xu Ziqing’s, was still much stronger than ordinary people’s.
In just a few days, she got the basics of both [Su Xue] and [Feixuan].
Due to her very little actual combat experience, Chu Huaixu volunteered to spar with her.
Both of them used only [Feixuan]; she was responsible for running, and he for chasing.
The result was that every ti she was like a bird trying to escape with clipped wings.
No matter how Big Ice Cube tried to dodge, Chu Huaixu could always quickly catch up with her and lightly tap her shoulder.
"You seem quite frustrated?" he said with a smile.
"I know your body technique has reached Minor Success, while I’ve just begun, but even so, you’re still much faster than ." She couldn’t figure it out.
"You don’t refine the body, you wouldn’t understand." Chu Huaixu once again spoke for Body Refiners.
"Your body technique is purely driven by Spiritual Power. But I am Inner and Outer Cultivation. Due to body refining, my speed itself is fast." He said with an expression of course.
My explosive power far exceeds your imagination.
At these tis, Xu Ziqing could only stand alone on the side, unable to join in.
He secretly envied, only thinking of quickly breaking through to the First Realm.
With the acceleration of the elixirs, Xiaoxu had already opened the Eighth Acupoint.
As long as he opens all Nine Acupoints, he can proceed to the Library Pavilion.
Chu Huaixu had already prepared the subsequent Spirit Pills for him.
Whether he could obtain the Wooden Token to reach the peak of Hidden Spirit Mountain would purely depend on his own fortune.
"This is as much as I can do." Chu Huaixu thought to himself.
...
...
Ti pushed forward by another seven days.
Today, the Daoist Outer Sect was extraordinarily lively.
The reason was simple, the matters regarding the East Continent competition were finally announced.
More than half of the Outer Sect was intensely discussing this issue.
"First Realm Competition? Selecting the strongest First Realm in East Continent?"
"And at that ti, we’ll still have to face against the chief of West Continent!"
```
"Why is there only a tournant for the First Realm? Is there none for the Second Realm?"
"Registration starts in ten days. I’m at the First Realm Second Heaven, and it seems there’s no need for to go."
"I heard the top ten rewards will be quite generous; that’s what I heard from the Law Enforcent Team."
"Really?"
Many disciples who believed in their strength in the First Realm were eager to try, eagerly preparing themselves.
Judging by the current scale and level of attention, it is clear that the higher-ups are giving special attention to this tournant.
Who doesn’t want to show their face in front of the Sect Leader and the Elders?
If selected, one might have a chance to enter Junzi Temple upon joining the Inner Sect!
The nine Stewards of the Outer Sect have beco busy because of this.
The heaviest responsibilities naturally fall on Niu Yuanshan.
An undercover Steward is always so hardworking and uncomplaining.
Old Niu hasn’t seen Chu Huaixu in a long ti.
Yet, his heart remains attached to him.
Currently, Niu Yuanshan is not fully aware of Chu Huaixu’s progress in his cultivation.
"I wonder how his cultivation has progressed now?"
"Will he sign up for this tournant?"
"I wonder if he can seize this opportunity to make a na for himself and be noticed by an Elder, who would take him as a disciple."
"In that way, our organization would have soone within Junzi Temple."
All his thoughts would eventually end with a slap on his palm: "Pa—!"
Then, the loyal Old Niu would recite the Precepts in his heart.
Niu Yuanshan is almost completely satisfied with Chu Huaixu.
The only downside, according to his knowledge, is that Chu Huaixu has never left the mountain to report to the nearest secret location, nor has he sent any intelligence to the organization.
"It seems he’s just been quietly lying low?"
But Old Niu always managed to convince himself that now was not yet the ti for Chu Huaixu to shine.
He began looking forward to Chu Huaixu’s performance in the East Continent tournant.
"As for the Western Continent, the winner of this tournant is expected to be the genius young master."
"This Heir of Prince Rui was the only one in several centuries to master the ’Eight Desolates Great Yang Poem,’ even triggering Heaven and Earth phenona when breaking through the First Realm."
"He also resembles our Moon Country’s founding Emperor Monarch by seventy percent."
"Many in Moon Country claim he is the reincarnation of the Emperor Monarch."
"The Royal Family seems inclined to let him enter the Emperor’s Mausoleum for comprehension."
"So far, on the East Continent, I’ve not heard of any cultivator in the First Realm who could match him."
"The top spot in this East and West Continent tournant is likely to go to our Moon Country." Niu Yuanshan felt gratified.
With this thought, he felt excellent despite his busy schedule in the Daoist Sect.
"Let’s organize it well. Let’s do a grand event on both the Daoist side and the East Continent sides."
"The grander we make it, the more embarrassing it will be to lose to the Young Master."
Niu Yuanshan, the Moon Country native, was already feeling quite pleased with this thought, feeling vindicated.
...
...
The night deepened gradually.
Chu Huaixu wasn’t sitting atop his usual ditation mat in his room; instead, he was in Xu Ziqing’s room.
"Are you ready?" He looked solemnly at Xiaoxu.
Xiaoxu nodded, swallowing slightly.
"Later, it will be very painful. The pain of breaking through the Ninth Acupoint is more intense than all previous tis combined. You must prepare yourself ntally." Chu Huaixu said earnestly.
Relying on system upgrades, he only needed to endure the aftermath.
Xu Ziqing cultivated by himself; though the pain would co in full only after successfully opening the acupoint, the breakthrough process would be excruciatingly difficult!
If he couldn’t hold out, everything would be for naught.
Xu Ziqing nodded earnestly to Chu Huaixu, saying, "Senior Brother, don’t worry. I still have deep-seated vengeance. Even if it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I will endure!"
"Good! Before the acupoints open, you must grit your teeth and hang on! Once it’s open, scream all you want. I won’t laugh at you." He said seriously.
It had been so ti since he had last heard Xiaoxu’s lodious cries.
"Mm!" Xu Ziqing nodded earnestly again, warm feelings budding in his heart, feeling the care from his Senior Brother.
In fact, even Han Shuangjiang in the neighboring room, knowing Xu Ziqing was to open his Ninth Acupoint tonight, was waiting for the anguished wail.
Because upon hearing that sound, it would generally signify Junior Brother Xu’s successful realm breakthrough.
At this mont, the delicate youth slowly closed his eyes, and Chu Huaixu sat beside him as a protector.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into his body, beginning to break through that final acupoint, opening the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection.
Chu Huaixu noticed that beads of cold sweat quickly appeared at the tip of his nose, his complexion becoming deathly pale.
Without great perseverance, enduring the tornt of this Evil Skill would be impossible!
Minute by minute, he noticed Xu Ziqing’s body began to tremble unconsciously.
Originally a boy with red lips and white teeth, his lips had now lost all color.
Perhaps due to firm Daoist heart, or perhaps due to vengeful blood, the young man continued gritting his teeth, circulating within his body.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi endlessly tempered his body, as if bathed in the Heaven and Earth Furnace!
At this mont, besides guarding him, Chu Huaixu was also curious about one thing he wanted to understand.
"When I broke through the Nine Acupoints, I induced Hidden Spirit Mountain’s sword, causing an earthquake in the entire Daoist Sect, even making dicine Mountain shake a few tis."
"So, when soone else breaks through the ’Refining Sword Formulas,’ will it be the sa?"
After another incense stick of ti, Xu Ziqing’s Ninth Acupoint opened.
