After Chu Xinyun received Shen Manjun's medallion, she led Xiao Chen to the herb field. This time, Jiang Chi did not follow.
As Jiang Chi watched Xiao Chen leave, he smiled and said, "Martial Uncle, what do you think of this person? Is he worthy of my nurturing?"
Shen Manjun's gaze was deep like a clear pool. She said in a drawn-out manner, "This person appears gentle on the surface, but he has a cold heart. He will not be easily swayed by external forces. He is self-centered and knows what he wants. He is decisive in killing, cold and emotionless!"
Jiang Chi's smile froze. Could it be that I misjudged him?
Shen Manjun changed the topic and smiled, "However, it is fortunate that he has not changed. From the first time I saw him until now, his heart has not changed. He has seen the prosperity of the world and obtained boundless glory. He obtained a hundred consecutive victories in the wrestling ring, reached the eighth floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower, and became the strongest person in the four nations. However, he has always been himself. His heart has not changed. "
Jiang Chi was somewhat at a loss as he said, "Martial Uncle, I do not understand."
Shen Manjun smiled sweetly and turned around. Her melodious voice resounded, "There is no need to understand. You only need to know that he can give you what you want."
Xiao Chen and Chu Xinyun had known each other for a long time. However, when they met again, they felt somewhat restrained.
Chu Xinyun had not expected that after the battle on the Heaven Ascending Platform, Xiao Chen would return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. When they first met, the difference in their cultivation was not that great. Now, it was like heaven and earth.
Chu Xinyun was still lingering in the Martial Saint realm. However, Xiao Chen had already crossed the threshold of Martial King and was about to break through to Martial Monarch.
"Junior Sister Chu, help me find ten-odd Spirit Herbs that are around a thousand years old. They can raise a cultivator's cultivation."
Following Chu Xinyun's lead, the two soon arrived at the thousand-year-old herb field on Jade Maiden Peak. However, the results disappointed Xiao Chen.
Although it was called a thousand-year-old herb field, most of the Spirit Herbs were only eight or nine hundred years old. There were very few that were a thousand years old. There was not even one that was two thousand years old.
Perhaps Jiang Chi did not know that he had already consumed a large number of thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs. Such Spirit Herbs were no longer useful to him.
He could only casually find ten stalks of thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs and use them as gifts. In a month's time, he would be returning to Mohe City. He had to bring something back.
Casually taking out ten stalks of thousand-year-old spirit herbs?
When Chu Xinyun heard this, she could not help but roll her eyes in her heart. What do you mean by casually looking around?
Did this guy really think that thousand-year-old elixirs were cabbages? That was something that even elders couldn't get even if they begged for it.
However, if she knew that Xiao Chen was only using it as a gift and felt that it wasn't good enough, who knew how she would feel.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, it must be more than a thousand years old. Don't use those that are eight or nine hundred years old to make up the numbers. They won't have any effect."
A thousand years was a threshold, just like human cultivation. Once a spirit herb passed this threshold, it would be on a completely different level from a spirit herb that was eight or nine hundred years old.
Its effect would be several times stronger. Hence, Xiao Chen specially reminded her.
How picky, Chu Xinyun could not help but grumble in her heart. However, she still obediently went to take care of it. After all, Shen Manjun had spoken, so she had to obey.
With Chu Xinyun taking care of this matter, Xiao Chen was more free. After waiting for an hour, Chu Xinyun returned with fifteen thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs.
After Xiao Chen checked that there were no mistakes, he smiled gently and said, "Many thanks, Junior Sister Chu. I will take my leave first."
When Xiao Chen returned and met Jiang Chi and Shen Manjun, he thanked them again. After all, these things were useless to him. However, he still had to show basic courtesy.
Jiang Chi muttered, "Xiao Chen, do you have any other requests? You can just mention them. If I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Representing the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in the Five Nation Youth Competition was one thing. However, it was unknown if he could get a good ranking.
How could Xiao Chen make any requests? He could only reject the other party's kind intentions.
In an extremely desolate forest on Qingyun Peak, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Dark clouds churned as Xiao Chen practiced his newly obtained Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.
The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was different from the Four Season Saber Technique. It did not require much personal comprehension. All Xiao Chen needed to do was understand the meaning and state of each move.
This was a Saber Technique that the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founder comprehended in his early years and not in his later years. Naturally, the difficulty would not be that high.
Back then, when the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founder was undergoing experiential training in a dangerous place, he coincidentally discovered a Rank 9 Spirit Beast undergoing its Lightning Tribulation, preparing to transform into a human.
Under the nine layers of Lightning Tribulation, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founder comprehended this Nine Saber Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. He was able to create his own Saber Technique before the age of thirty. Furthermore, it was a peak Earth Ranked Saber Technique.
With such horrifying talent, it was no wonder the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founder could become someone like Emperor Wu in the future.
From a certain perspective, if Xiao Chen could completely comprehend his own Four Season Saber Technique, his talent would be comparable to that of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founder.
"In nature, lightning is viewed as the will of the Heavenly Dao. If anyone defies it, the Heavenly Dao will send down a lightning tribulation to destroy everything."
Xiao Chen muttered, "The first three moves of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique accumulate power, the next three become lightning, and the final three bring down a tribulation. When practiced to the highest level, one can steal the Heavenly Dao and punish the lightning on behalf of the heavens. I hope it will not disappoint me. "
Xiao Chen had personally seen Bai undergo his tribulation. The secret manual had a detailed introduction to the nine moves of the Saber Technique. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion's founder had also personally explained them. Furthermore, Xiao Chen had strong comprehension abilities.
Xiao Chen's progress in cultivating the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was extremely fast. Compared to the Four Season Saber Technique, it was at least five or six times faster. He managed to learn all nine moves in one month.
This was normal. The Four Season Saber Technique required Xiao Chen to create it himself. He had to feel his way around carefully.
As for the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, the founder of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion had already paved the way for him. He just had to follow his instructions.
When comparing the two, it was clear which was more difficult. However, the might of the Four Season Saber Technique was definitely above the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. Furthermore, it was more suitable for Xiao Chen. After all, he had comprehended it himself.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and stood upright. The thunderclouds above him slowly scattered. He muttered to himself, "Two months have passed already. It is time to return to Mohe City to take a look."
There were still four more months before the Five Nation Youth Competition. After that, Xiao Chen might have to go to the Kunlun Realm. He might never have the chance to return to Mohe City.
Even though Xiao Xiong had chased him out of the Xiao Clan and did not acknowledge him as his son, blood was thicker than water. As his son, he had to go back and take a look.
Those were the brothers who had fought so hard for the Promise of Ten Years. Those disciples who were willing to kneel before Xiao Xiong and plead for him.
How were they doing now? Good or bad? Xiao Chen had to personally take a look before he could feel at ease.
Late at night, the full moon hung high in the sky. Its silver light illuminated the entire Qingyun Peak. Using the moonlight, Xiao Chen headed for Liu Ruyue's courtyard, preparing to bid her farewell.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! "
In the courtyard, Liu Ruyue wore tight robes that perfectly outlined her alluring figure. She focused on practicing her Saber Techniques, one move at a time.
Saber lights flickered. As Liu Ruyue walked, a strong wind blew in the courtyard, kicking up countless fallen leaves.
Now, Liu Ruyue was already a peak Superior Grade Martial King. As long as her state of wind improved further, she would be able to advance to half-step Martial Monarch.
When Liu Ruyue saw Xiao Chen outside, she grasped the small saber in her hand. She spun the saber and attacked Xiao Chen with a sharp aura.
"Are we going to exchange moves again?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He was not surprised. It had been like this every night for the past few days. The two of them would exchange moves and find out what they were lacking in.
However, in general, it was mostly Xiao Chen giving pointers to Liu Ruyue. Now, Xiao Chen's combat experience and insight had already left Liu Ruyue in the dust. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
Under the moonlight, Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyue moved quickly in the courtyard. When their weapons clashed, sparks flew.
"Today, you arrived four hours earlier than usual. Are you here to say goodbye to me?" Liu Ruyue said as she brushed past Xiao Chen and sent out a saber strike at lightning speed.
"Chi!"
Xiao Chen casually used his saber to block Liu Ruyue's attack. He said softly, "I have to return to Mohe City before the Five Nation Youth Competition."
"How long will you be gone for? When will you be back?"
"At least one month, at most three months. In any case, I will be back before the Heavenly Saber Pavilion departs for the Great Jin Nation."
The two of them exchanged moves as they chatted. Under the gentle moonlight, they appeared carefree and carefree. A faint warmth flowed in their hearts.
After an hour, the two of them finished exchanging moves. Liu Ruyue sheathed her weapon and smiled helplessly, "It has only been a month and you have improved so much. I really cannot compare to you."
Xiao Chen held Liu Ruyue's hand and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will bully you in the future?"
Liu Ruyue blushed and said softly, "I will accept it if you bully me. However, if you go too high, I'm afraid the distance between us will increase."
Xiao Chen pulled Liu Ruyue into his embrace. His gaze was deep as he looked at the bright moon in the night sky. A melancholic smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "In this world, Qingyun Peak is my second home. No matter how high or far I go, I will have to return home."
Home … Liu Ruyue felt warmth in her heart. She looked up at Xiao Chen and gently pecked him on the lips. Her eyes were filled with tenderness.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and carried Liu Ruyue horizontally. Then, he walked towards her residence.
The two of them were both youths. In the past two months, they had been cultivating together at night. When they were deeply in love, the so-called matters between a man and a woman would naturally happen when the conditions were right.
The Great Qin Nation had four prefectures: the Dongming Province, the Xihe Province, the Nanling Province, and the Northern King's Residence. Each prefecture had three continents, and each prefecture had nine counties. Each county had a number of small cities.
Mohe City was such a small city. On the map of the vast Great Qin Nation, it did not stand out at all. It did not even have a note.
There were many such cities in the Great Qin Nation. They were so ordinary that they could not be more ordinary.
On this particular day, at the city gates of Mohe City, a delicate and handsome white-robed youth walked over from the distance. He had a saber at his waist, and his expression was calm as he walked at a steady pace.
Among the cultivators in the surroundings, that white-clothed youth did not wear any luxurious accessories. He did not give off the aura of a cultivator either.
However, he gave off a unique aura. He stood out from the crowd, like a crane among chickens. Several of the Martial Masters in the surroundings could not help but look at him.
The white-clothed bladesman was naturally Xiao Chen. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion was in the Xihe Province, and Mohe City was in the Dongming Province. One was in the east, and the other was in the west. Xiao Chen spent half a month traveling at full speed.
