The main building had three floors. The first floor was the living room, kitchen, shower room, and maid's bedroom. The second floor was the First Senior Brother's bedroom, small living room, and study. The third floor was the cultivation room.
The three floors weren't small at all, with a length and width of fifteen meters.
The study on the second floor was next to the bedroom. It was about twenty square meters in size, with a bookshelf full of books. There were probably more than five hundred books. Chen Zong had read more than half of them, but he hadn't.
Getting up, Chen Zong put the books back on the shelf and picked up a brush to write.
Writing was like practicing swordsmanship. They both had something in common. Chen Zong integrated his swordsmanship experience into his calligraphy. Every stroke was like the stroke of a sword, with an indescribable sharpness. At the same time, he was training his control over his strength.
Walking, sitting, and lying down were all part of cultivation. Chen Zong gradually realized this.
After reading and writing, Chen Zong picked up the Fake Frost Flowing Sword and walked up to the third floor.
The third floor didn't have any partitions. There was only one large room, and it looked quite empty. There was an iron pillar erected in each of the four directions. They were forged from precious iron, and their hardness and toughness were astonishing. Their value wasn't low, and they were used by the eldest senior brother to test his strength. Moreover, they were all new.
Opening all the windows, the sun shone in and the wind blew in, making the room bright and relaxing.
Chen Zong took out a Blood Essence Pill and swallowed it. He then practiced the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill.
Because of the Heavy Blood Jade Essence, the Scarlet Blood Pill was useless. After all, it had its limits. However, the Blood Essence Pill was still effective.
The Blood Essence Pill was equivalent to a strengthened version of the Beast Blood Pill. It contained an incomparably rich and pure blood energy. Every pill consumed was equivalent to ten days of cultivation. It was extremely difficult to refine, and its value was much higher than the Great Scarlet Blood Pill.
Two hours later, the pure Blood Qi of the Blood Essence Pill was completely absorbed. Chen Zong could feel his Qi and blood growing stronger. He was closer to the mid-stage of Qi and Blood Realm Level Eight.
He took off his martial attire, applied the Ice Fire Poison Paste, and started to practice the Body Forging Technique. After that, he practiced the Shadow Clone Technique, and then the Sword Art.
In the training room, the sword light flashed across like frost and snow, leaving clear sword marks on the fine iron pile.
Unlike the Iron Wood Pile, the Fine Iron Pile could withstand the sharpness of the Fake Frost Sword, allowing Chen Zong to display his swordsmanship to his heart's content. He didn't have to deliberately hold back, and the training effect was much better.
He opened the jar, and a strong wine aroma with a fishy smell filled the air.
After forty-nine days, the Blood Essence Pill Wine was finally ready.
This jar of Blood Essence Elixir Wine weighed ten catties in total. Chen Zong took out one jar of three catties of Blood Essence Elixir Wine and one jar of two catties of Blood Essence Elixir Wine for Sister Yun. He gave the two catties of Blood Essence Elixir Wine to Li Zhenshi and prepared the remaining five catties for himself.
The effect of the Blood Essence Elixir Wine was far inferior to that of the Blood Essence Elixir Pill. It was only slightly better than the Beast Blood Elixir Pill and had some supplementary effect on cultivation. The only thing that made Chen Zong happy was that the Blood Essence Elixir Wine was also beneficial to the speed of cultivation.
"Good. I wonder if my True Sword Heavenly End ability can reach the fifth layer after consuming these five catties of Blood Essence Elixir Wine?" Chen Zong thought to himself.
Once the True Sword Heavenly End Skill reached the fifth layer, the power of the swordsmanship would increase by seventy percent. The power of the True Sword Heavenly End Skill would also increase by several folds, reaching a hundred percent. He believed that once he unleashed it, he would be able to kill people like Bai Yushan.
If he could reach the highest sixth layer, it would be even more terrifying. It would increase the power of the swordsmanship to a hundred percent. Although the power of the True Sword Heavenly End Skill wouldn't increase, it would still be able to shoot through the air. This was something that Qi and Blood realm martial artists couldn't do.
"I must cultivate the True Sword Heavenly End Skill to the fifth layer, and then to the sixth layer." Chen Zong secretly made up his mind.
A martial artist's strength was made up of various aspects such as martial arts, combat experience, skills, and so on. None of these aspects could be lacking. Otherwise, it would become a shortcoming, a flaw.
After drinking another mouthful of Blood Essence Elixir Wine, Chen Zong began to cultivate. His cultivation base and the progress of his martial arts improved at the same time. This was undoubtedly rare.
"Even if I consume these five catties of Blood Essence Elixir Wine, I can cultivate the True Sword Heavenly End Skill to the fifth layer, but I can't reach the sixth layer. It seems that I have to find more Blood Essence Elixir Beasts to continue soaking in the wine."
As the First Senior Brother of the First Hall, even if it was only a temporary position, he still had his rights. Chen Zong went to the Hundred Affair Pavilion to issue a mission. The rewards would be given according to the different grades of Blood Essence Elixir Beasts.
For example, the Blood Essence Elixir of a High Class 2 Demonic Beast was worth fifty thousand White Jade Coins, while the Blood Essence Elixir of a Mid Class 2 Demonic Beast was worth twenty-five thousand White Jade Coins. As for the Blood Essence Elixir of a Low Class 2 Demonic Beast, it was very difficult for it to condense a Blood Essence Elixir. Even if it did, it wouldn't be strong enough, so there was no need for it.
There was no doubt that the reward for this mission issued by Chen Zong was very high. Everyone was tempted.
For most martial artists, rather than soaking the Blood Essence Elixir Wine, they would rather sell it and buy other elixirs to aid in their cultivation. After all, the martial arts that they cultivated were relatively average. They were Middle or High Human Class. After a few years, they would reach the last layer, if not the last layer.
Chen Zong didn't have to do it himself. Naturally, there would be people who would fight for the high reward. In the end, they would find the Blood Essence Elixir Beasts and deliver it to him.
However, there were very few Blood Essence Elixir Beasts and they were very strong among those of the same level. It wasn't easy to obtain one. Fortunately, these five catties of Blood Essence Elixir Wine were enough for Chen Zong to consume for a while.
The Qi and blood in his body surged for a while before calming down. Chen Zong opened his eyes and exhaled.
"My cultivation has reached the middle of Qi and Blood Realm Stage Eight. My Qi and blood energy has been purified by another ten percent." Chen Zong muttered to himself as a smile appeared on his face.
A small increase in cultivation couldn't directly increase one's strength, but it could purify one's Qi and blood energy. When performing martial arts, the consumption would be lower and the recovery speed would also be faster. Especially his Qi and blood energy, due to the True Sword Heavenly Art reaching the fourth layer, was twice as pure. It was not inferior to a martial artist at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Stage Nine. This ten percent increase was even more obvious.
Not long after, Chen Zong received a message.
Bai Yushan had left.
Bai Yushan, whose injuries had basically healed, chose to leave the Seven Lights Martial Academy.
Here, he had lost all face and was even stripped of his position as the First Senior Brother of the Seven Lights Martial Academy. The one who became the First Senior Brother of the Seven Lights Martial Academy was his enemy, Chen Zong. He couldn't stay here any longer. Otherwise, he would go crazy. Leave. He had no choice but to leave.
"Chen Zong, I will never let you go. The next time we meet, I will kill you with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart." Bai Yushan rode on his steed and looked back at the Seven Lights Martial Academy. Then, he swept a glance at the others. They were all Bai Family disciples of the Brilliant Sword Hall. He said in a low voice, "Remember, cultivate well. Don't go against Chen Zong."
After a few encounters, Bai Yushan could see that although Chen Zong looked gentle, he was in fact a difficult person to deal with. Once provoked, he would definitely counterattack. This person was decisive and would not show mercy.
Bai Yulou and the others were very unwilling. They originally planned to go against Chen Zong in all kinds of ways in the Brilliant Sword Hall, but Bai Yushan's words made them give up.
"Yulou, remember, Chen Zong is not to be trifled with. Unless you have the strength to defeat him directly, don't provoke him on purpose." The one Bai Yushan was most worried about was Bai Yulou, so he especially warned. The injury this time made Bai Yushan see the truth clearly. Instead of being dispirited, he calmed down.
"Okay." Under Bai Yushan's fierce gaze, Bai Yulou finally nodded.
"Cultivate well, Chen Zong. I will kill him with my own hands in the future." Bai Yushan left the last sentence and his legs clamped on the horse, galloping away.
Bai Yushan's instructions before he left were effective. Otherwise, Bai Yulou and the others would definitely go against Chen Zong on purpose, and Chen Zong would certainly not show mercy.
Time flew.
Chen Zong had consumed all five kilograms of Blood Essence Elixir Wine. His True Sword Heavenly Art had not reached the fifth stage, and there was even a big gap. It was more difficult than Chen Zong had imagined.
The new Blood Essence Elixir Wine was still being brewed. It was a High Rank 2 Demonic Beast's Blood Essence Elixir, and there was only one of it. It also weighed five kilograms, but because the Blood Essence Elixir Wine was of a higher grade, the brewing time was longer, taking a total of sixty-four days.
For the sake of the High Rank 2 Demonic Beast's Blood Essence Elixir, Chen Zong had already paid out the thirty thousand White Jade Coins he got from Xu Mingzhi and the twenty thousand White Jade Coins he got after becoming the Eldest Martial Brother. He was out of money again.
Chen Zong did not feel anything. The purpose of earning money was ultimately for cultivation. Otherwise, he would only be a miser. If he was not strong enough, he would be killed. No matter how much money he had, it would be of no use.
The Eldest Martial Brother not only received ten thousand White Jade Coins, two Great Scarlet Blood Elixirs, and one Blood Essence Elixir every month, he also had the qualification to buy things at a thirty percent discount. Moreover, he had the qualification to buy things on credit three times. Chen Zong used all of these to the extreme.
Everything was used to its full potential. Otherwise, it would be useless.
Cultivating wholeheartedly, the Glorious Sword Hall was also very peaceful. There was no need for him, the Eldest Martial Brother, to uphold justice.
At the end of the third month after Chen Zong became the Eldest Martial Brother, his cultivation base increased again, reaching the peak of Blood Qi Stage Eight. The purity of his Blood Qi had greatly increased. However, the gap between peak Blood Qi Stage Eight and Blood Qi Stage Nine was even greater than the gap between Blood Qi Stage Seven and Blood Qi Stage Eight. It was even more difficult to break through.
The new Blood Essence Elixir Wine could be consumed. His True Sword Heavenly Skill had also reached the peak of the fourth stage. However, he realized that it was very difficult to use the Blood Essence Elixir Wine to break through the bottleneck of the True Sword Heavenly Skill. The effect had decreased by more than ten times. Even if he consumed the entire jar of Blood Essence Elixir Wine, it would still be impossible.
Chen Zong was somewhat disappointed, but he felt that it was normal. It was not easy to make such a huge leap, especially in the later stages. He could only rely on his own ability.
Another three days passed. The last portion of the newly refined Frostfire Poison Membrane Ointment was applied to his skin. He spread it evenly across his entire body and cultivated the first three forms of the Body Forging Technique.
As he cultivated, Chen Zong immediately felt the intertwining of ice and fire on his skin after absorbing all of the Frostfire Poison Membrane Ointment. It rapidly expanded and contracted nine times in a row before stopping. The color of his skin seemed to have changed. It was no longer as white as before. Instead, it had a healthy bronze color.
As he moved his hands and feet, Chen Zong could clearly feel that his skin was filled with a kind of toughness. It was many times stronger than before, and his physical strength had also improved by leaps and bounds.
