Chu Li stood in front of the crowd and laughed. "Who else wants to challenge me?"
The crowd was dumbfounded.
He was so arrogant, but he had the ability to be arrogant. The disciples who went up were not convinced because they were the best among the disciples.
In the end, they lost badly, so there was no need for the others to go up and ask for trouble.
Chu Li laughed. "Who else wants to challenge me?"
"I want to challenge Senior Brother Zhao's swordsmanship!" A girl in green shouted.
Chu Li glanced at her. "Senior Sister, swords have no eyes. Don't hurt yourself!"
"Come on!" The girl in green scoffed.
Chu Li did not recognize this senior sister, but he could tell that her cultivation level was not weak and her swordsmanship must be top-notch.
Elder Yang shook his head and waved his hand. Two ironwood swords flew out from the weapon rack and landed in the hands of Chu Li and the girl in green.
The ironwood swords looked no different from iron swords and were as heavy as the Verdant Tipped Sword.
Chu Li held the sword and swung it a few times. He nodded in satisfaction. It was quite smooth. He lifted the tip of the sword. "Please!"
The girl in green said, "Junior Brother Zhao, please!"
Chu Li smiled. "If I use my sword, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to."
"Please!" The girl in green rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li shook his head helplessly. He suddenly moved his feet and a cold light flashed.
The girl in green did not even have time to swing her sword before it was knocked away.
The ironwood sword rolled in the air and flipped over people's heads. Finally, it landed twenty meters away with a 'thud'.
Chu Li lowered his sword and smiled. "Thank you for letting me win!"
The girl in green frowned at him.
This was pure brute force. He did not give her a chance to attack at all. He used his strength, speed, brute force, and body technique. His cultivation level was so high that she was far behind him.
Elder Yang said, "Zhao Dahe wins!"
Chu Li waved his sword. "Are there any more?"
The crowd was silent.
They could not tell if Chu Li's swordsmanship was good or bad. However, his swordsmanship was as fast as lightning and powerful. There was no way to restrain it. He did not give others a chance to use their exquisite swordsmanship. It was brutal and effective.
"Are there any more?" Chu Li laughed. "Is everyone convinced of my swordsmanship?"
Mo Cuicui pursed her lips in the crowd and scoffed, "Who's impressed by your swordsmanship? I'm impressed by your cultivation level!"
"Everyone is too lazy." Chu Li shook his head and said, "When I first came here, there were many people whose cultivation level was higher than mine. Now, I've fallen behind by a large margin. No one is focusing on cultivating!"
"Zhao Dahe, that's enough!" Elder Yang said helplessly. "Since no one wants to challenge us, let's just do what we need to do!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Alright, since Elder Yang has spoken, everyone shall disperse."
He tossed the sword back onto the weapon rack and walked up to Mo Cuicui and Sun Lihua. "What do you think?" he asked with a smile.
Mo Cuicui glared at him and snorted, "How arrogant of you!"
Chu Li said proudly, "Who dares to disagree?"
"We're the ones who aren't convinced!" Mo Cuicui scoffed. "Just bear with it for now. You can't always be the strongest!"
"I'll become stronger and stronger!" Chu Li smiled.
He then said, "Tomorrow, we'll go to the Sutra Library and see if there's a better body movement technique."
"Our Time Steps is already a top-notch body movement technique," Sun Lihua said. "It's both a body movement technique and a Light-body Technique. It's incredibly fast. Junior Brother Zhao, are you not satisfied with it?"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I don't think it's exquisite enough. I want to find an exquisite body movement technique."
"There are many body movement techniques in the Sutra Library, but none of them are stronger than Time Steps." Sun Lihua shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"Is there a body movement technique that most people find difficult to cultivate?" Chu Li asked. "I like to cultivate things that most people can't."
"Arrogant!" Mo Cuicui scoffed. "You can't return to the Sutra Library now!"
Chu Li laughed.
Sun Lihua was surprised. "Junior Brother Zhao can return to the Sutra Library?"
Chu Li said proudly, "I can move around freely now. I can go anywhere I want. This is the benefit of merit!"
Sun Lihua and the others looked at him in surprise.
Song Donglin said enviously, "This is a wonderful thing that can only happen in the second year."
Chu Li said, "I've worked hard and finally made some merit. I'll often go to the Sutra Library in the future, especially the third floor. Junior Sister Mo, please guide me."
Mo Cuicui gritted her teeth and scoffed. She turned her head away and ignored him.
—
A bright moon hung in the sky, shedding its light.
Chu Li suddenly appeared on his own island in the Public House. He was in his own courtyard.
He had a few spirit herbs in his hands. He bent down and planted them in the spirit land. Then, he infused them with a dense spiritual energy. It was enough for them to adapt to the spirit land here.
Xue Ling yawned and came out of the wing room. She said lazily, "Master, you haven't been back for a long time."
She wore a moon-white nightgown that covered her graceful and graceful figure. Her beautiful hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, which made her face look even more fair. Under the moonlight, she looked like a piece of white jade that exuded a warm luster.
Chu Li said, "I'm busy over there."
Xue Ling nodded. "So you're not so busy now?"
"I can finally take a breather." Chu Li pointed at the twenty over spirit herbs on the ground. "These two need to be watered once every three days. These two need to be watered once every day. These two need to be watered once every five days …"
"Are these precious?" Xue Ling asked.
Chu Li said, "They're spirit herbs that the Ji Dynasty can't get. They're all very useful. In the future, I want to get some spirit herbs to refine pills."
"Refining pills is not easy." Xue Ling shook her head. "It's easy to get spirit herbs, but it's hard to find a Pill-refining Master."
Refining pills was different from planting spirit herbs. It required great talent, just like how a miracle doctor was hard to find.
When spirit grasses were mixed together, under certain conditions, a miraculous change would occur and they would turn into spirit pills. When some spirit grasses were mixed together in a certain amount and boiled, they wouldn't turn into spirit pills, they would just be herbs.
There was a huge difference between spirit pills and herbs. Their effects were like clouds and mud.
Herbs could cure illnesses and injuries, but the effects of spirit pills were ten to twenty times stronger than herbs. Injuries that would normally take ten days to heal could be cured by spirit pills in one day. Injuries that could not be cured by herbs could be cured by spirit pills. While injuries that could be cured by spirit pills might not be cured by herbs.
Herbs could treat ordinary people's illnesses, but not martial arts masters. Their injuries were often more serious than ordinary people. Herbs could not cure them at all.
Not to mention those pills that could replenish inner energy. Herbs could not cure them.
Moreover, a Pill-refining Master needed to have a meticulous understanding of the fire. They had to be extremely sharp in order to catch the fleeting opportunity of fusion. The fire was the key. If it was not there, the pill would not be formed. If it was too late, the pill would be destroyed.
Chu Li smiled. "I've never had the chance to learn alchemy."
"Master, you're a genius in martial arts. Alchemy might not be good at it." Xue Ling smiled. "But there's a Pill-refining Master in our Public House. You can learn from him."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded slowly. "Learning alchemy is not difficult. The key is the recipe."
