To a cultivator, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since he gained Yan Du as a servant, Chu Xingyun no longer focused solely on cultivation. He would often spar with him to hone his martial arts.
At this moment, in the courtyard.
Chu Xingyun wielded Wu Ling's Sword and charged at Yan Du like a gust of wind. The sword was so fast that it was difficult to react to it. In the blink of an eye, the sword was right in front of Yan Du.
Yan Du easily dodged the attack with a movement skill. Just as he was about to push back Chu Xingyun, an extremely faint sound of thunder rang out without warning.
That's right, it was the sound of thunder.
However, Chu Xingyun's sword suddenly changed. The Spiritual Sword turned into a wisp of cold lightning, breaking through the wind and thrusting towards Yan Du's chest at an extremely tricky angle. It was as fast as thunder.
"Shake!" Yan Du was shocked. He subconsciously circulated his spirit energy to push the spirit sword away.
Chu Xingyun retreated several steps. When he raised his head, there was no trace of disappointment on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "You've lost."
Before Chu Xingyun and Yan Du sparred, there was a rule that Yan Du had to suppress his cultivation to the same level. He was not allowed to use the aura of a Spirit Gathering practitioner to suppress Chu Xingyun.
But just now, Yan Du had clearly broken the rule and used his thick spirit energy to block the sword.
"Master's sword just now was like lightning and wind. I really couldn't block it. Please punish me." Yan Du respectfully lowered his head. His words were not flattery.
Chu Xingyun's sword had turned wind into lightning. Its speed was several times faster and it was extremely well hidden. Yan Du was caught off guard. If not for the fact that his cultivation was much higher than Chu Xingyun's, he really would have been injured.
In this half a month, Yan Du had frequently sparred with Chu Xingyun. Almost every time they fought, he could clearly sense Chu Xingyun's astonishing improvement.
With their cultivation suppressed, the two of them were evenly matched in the beginning, but it wasn't long before Yan Du began to feel the strain and had no choice but to use his movement technique to dodge.
A few days ago, Chu Xingyun had advanced to the Sixth Sky of Body Tempering Realm. His swordsmanship had become faster and more ethereal.
Just now, when Chu Xingyun used Thunder Eclipse, Yan Du felt a strong threat and had no choice but to break the rules.
Yan Du estimated that with Chu Xingyun's current strength, he could even defeat a martial artist at the eighth layer of Tempered Body!
"Come and eat some fruits." At this moment, Shui Liu Xiang and Tiger Chu walked over with cut fruits in their hands.
During this period of time, Yan Du had been living with Chu Xingyun and the others. As time passed, everyone had become much more familiar with each other and were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning.
However, Chu Xingyun didn't immediately announce that Yan Du had become a servant. Instead, he kept it a secret. Other than the three of them, the other members of the Chu Family didn't even know of Yan Du's existence.
"Liu Xiang, how's the situation?" Chu Xingyun asked, causing Shui Liu Xiang's smile to freeze. She shook her head in disappointment.
Chu Xingyun's expression changed slightly and his brows immediately furrowed.
After a month of careful recuperation, Shui Liu Xiang's physique had been completely replenished and she was no longer weak. However, for some reason, she still couldn't condense Wu Ling.
Regarding this, Chu Xingyun had checked many times and even thought of many ways, but he still couldn't find the source. He even began to doubt whether the cold Qi came from Wu Ling.
"Big Brother Yun, actually, it's not important to me whether I can cultivate or not. Don't disturb your thoughts because of me. I'm already very satisfied to be able to stay by your side." Shui Liu Xiang said extremely seriously. She didn't want Chu Xingyun to be anxious because of her.
Chu Xingyun rubbed Shui Liu Xiang's long hair. His eyes were filled with happiness. To be able to have such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
After resting for a while, Chu Xingyun and the others left Chu Town and rushed towards the direction of the ore mine.
A month's time was up. According to Chu Xingyun's estimation, the Flame Heart Fruit had matured and it was time to harvest it.
Due to the gradual mining of the Fire Spirit Stone Vein, the moment they entered the cave, the heat dissipated significantly. Walking in the cave, they didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"That's strange." Yan Du's face was filled with doubt as he said, "The Fire Spirit Stone Vein has been mined and the heat dissipated. This can still be explained. But why is the mist emitted by the Flame Heart Fruit completely gone?"
Hearing that, Chu Hu and Chu Xingyun looked at each other and saw each other's smiles.
Arriving at the end of the cave, when Yan Du saw the scene in front of him, he was extremely shocked.
In his field of vision, the Flame Heart Tree stood there. The dozen or so Flame Heart Fruits hanging on it were completely ripe. They were red like pills and emitted an incomparably alluring fragrance.
As for the mist, it had long disappeared without a trace because of the ripening of the Flame Heart Fruit.
"How could this be?" Yan Du had entered the cave before. He knew very well that the Flame Heart Fruit still needed a few more years to mature. Why was it completely ripe after only a month?
Yan Du looked at Chu Xingyun in shock. Needless to say, he could also guess that the early ripening of the Flame Heart Fruit was definitely related to Chu Xingyun.
The more he came into contact with Chu Xingyun, the more he felt that Chu Xingyun was unfathomable. He could even casually take out a precious cultivation technique like the [Five Poisons Strange Art]. It was not impossible for him to think of a way to accelerate the ripening of the Flame Heart Fruit.
Chu Xingyun stepped forward and plucked the Flame Heart Fruit. He kept one for himself and handed the rest to Chu Hu. He said in a deep voice, "The Flame Heart Fruit is not easy to obtain. In the future, anyone who has made a great contribution to the Chu family will be rewarded with one."
"Hmm?" Chu Hu and Yan Du's eyes narrowed slightly. Using the Flame Heart Fruit as a reward was too extravagant. They probably couldn't find a second family with such generosity in the entire West Wind City.
However, although he was surprised, Chu Hu still accepted the Flame Heart Fruit. Only by distinguishing between reward and punishment could it increase the enthusiasm of the clansmen. He still understood this simple logic.
"After consuming the Flame Heart Fruit, my cultivation will rise to the seventh level of Tempered Body. With such strength, it's time for me to make a trip to the Hidden Dragon Peak." Chu Xingyun secretly thought in his heart. The Sky Slashing Sword was a magical artifact level sword. To the current him, it was still very tempting.
"Master!" At this moment, a Chu family deacon ran in from outside the cave. His face was filled with panic.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xingyun's gaze shifted.
"Outside the cave. A large group of people suddenly gathered outside the cave. There are at least a hundred of them and they have already surrounded the entire cave. These people seem to be experts from other towns. First Elder and Third Elder are also among them."
The deacon said while panting heavily. He was obviously shocked by the scene just now.
