Chapter 587: Chapter 316: The Secret of the Spiritual Body, Sword Intent at Will_2

“Evading is unnecessary; I seek a place suitable for adventure, a place suitable for a martial artist to strive, to traverse the Spiritual Realm.”

Xu Yan said with a faint smile, seemingly unfazed by the pursuit from Thousand Martial Hall.

“Do you, as a true inheritor of Yuling Mansion, have a good understanding of the Spiritual Realm? Do you know where it’s chaotic and easier to make a name for oneself?”

Traveling across the domain of the Spiritual Realm, perceiving the essence of the world in all directions, the more chaotic a place is, the more opportunities there are for battles to erupt. Therefore, Xu Yan had decided that his next destination would be a place of chaos and disorder,

a place prone to draw enemies and conflicts.

“If we speak of a place of chaos in the Spiritual Realm, it must be Dachuan. There, the mountains are many, bandits are rife, and the forests are dense. The spirit beasts there are second only to Heavenly Mausoleum State. With rivers and mountains crisscrossing, the land of Dachuan is ferociously anomalous.

“Even the influence of the Transcendent Spirit Sect is weaker in Dachuan than in the other states. It was the Blood Demon who founded the Blood God Cult there and rose to power.

“It is said that remnants of the Blood God Cult still linger in Dachuan to this day, and despite attempts to root them out, the task is extremely difficult.

“The mountains are too numerous, providing ample hiding spots. There’s even a rumor that from time to time, ancient tombs appear in Dachuan, though of course, this is an occurrence from long ago.

“There are also whispers that the rise of the Blood Demon, and his Blood God techniques, were obtained from an ancient tomb in Dachuan.”

Cui Huayu pondered before speaking.

Xu Yan’s eyes lit up, “Then let’s head to Dachuan. Send word to Thousand Martial Hall that I, Xu Yan, have gone to Dachuan. Let them be on edge.”

The Blood Demon rose in Dachuan, and now that he was heading there, how could Thousand Martial Hall not take it seriously?

Cui Huayu’s mouth twitched. Xu Yan intended to trap and kill the martial artists of Thousand Martial Hall in Dachuan; he really didn’t regard them highly.

“No problem!”

Cui Huayu agreed readily.

“Let’s go, and may we meet again if fate allows!”

Xu Yan stepped out of the palace, preparing to set off for Dachuan.

Suddenly, he turned back and said, “Seeing that you’re looking rather pallid, there seems to be a real problem with your health. You could visit Evergreen Pavilion and have my junior sister give you a check-up.”

Cui Huayu was taken aback, “Evergreen Pavilion? I understand!”

Xu Yan nodded and with a step, vanished from the spot, heading straight for Dachuan.

Cui Huayu exhaled deeply, finally relaxing. Facing Xu Yan had indeed been a great pressure.

He glanced at the shattered spirit-probing branch and wondered if there was really a problem with his branch.

“Return to Yuling Mansion, no matter what, do not become enemies with Xu Yan. Do not make enemies at any cost!”

Cui Huayu had a premonition that for Thousand Martial Hall, their fortune might have come to an end.

The unstoppable momentum of Xu Yan’s rise to power was incomparable to that of the Blood Demon of old.

Several days later, news of Xu Yan’s journey to Dachuan began to spread, and indeed, the powerhouses of Thousand Martial Hall took the matter seriously. Apart from the Blade-handling Elder, two other Elders set out for Dachuan, intent on pursuing and killing Xu Yan.

In Luo State, within Evergreen Pavilion.

The name of the Alchemical Medical Fairy was gradually becoming known, and martial artists seeking her healing were coming in droves, most with chronic ailments that could not be cured or with martial artists whose foundations were damaged, all coming with a sliver of hope.

People in the Evergreen Pavilion began to get busy.

For those with weaker constitutions suffering from injuries or illnesses, pills were sufficient treatment. For martial artists above the Divine Refinement Celestial realm, Su Lingxiu herself would attend to them personally.

Lei Tong also visited every few days, each time leaving extremely satisfied, seemingly having achieved significant gains.

He was completely unaware that all he knew was but an illusion.

Fang Hao was refining a Flying Boat, and the outline of the Flying Boat was now defined, and some of its features were almost fully developed.

But it was still a ways away from being completely refined.

Li Xuan observed and nodded in approval; the Flying Boat was excellent. In the future, when traveling through the Spiritual Realm, there would be no need to ride spirit beasts in such a mundane manner.

Moreover, the Flying Boat could transform directly into Evergreen Pavilion, making it convenient for Su Lingxiu to practice medicine everywhere.

“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has reached great achievement in the Heart Sword Realm, and you’ve attained Sword Intent at will.”

Xu Yan had reached great achievement in the Heart Sword Realm.

“Sword Intent at will!”

Li Xuan’s heart surged with excitement. From then on, there was no need to contemplate Sword Intent; whatever his heart wished for, the Sword Intent would manifest.

Any Sword Intent was but a thought away.

“I’ve grown stronger,” Li Xuan mused. Moreover, his martial arts experience was also continuously improving, as Xu Yan and Meng Chong kept providing him with feedback on their martial arts experiences.

Time flew by, and the news about Xu Yan and Meng Chong kept coming.

Everyone in Evergreen Pavilion was amazed, and even Shi’er, that fellow, was boiling with excitement, yearning to go out and make a grand name for himself.

Of course, he could only dream; he didn’t dare to actually take action, for his strength was far too lacking.

“The eldest senior brother is too fierce!” Fang Hao admired sincerely.

He had snatched away the divine artifact right from under Thousand Martial Hall’s nose, yet they could do nothing about it. Truly an outrageous strength.

The seemingly untouchable Transcendent Spirit Sect had just been publicly humiliated.

The reverence that loose cultivators had for the Transcendent Spirit Sect was subtly diminishing.

“Countless prodigies in this world, is Xu Yan the role model?”

Li Xuan gave a wry smile.

“Meng Chong is also not bad, he should be close to a breakthrough.”

Li Xuan was very satisfied with this.

Four disciples, each with their own accomplishments, he, as a revered master, was comforting himself.

“It’s been a month, and all your people from Leiyun Mountain Manor have fully recovered, with no relapse. Do you still want to continue paying the observation fee?”

Yue’er looked at Lei Tong and asked.

The one-month period had come.

“No need, I’ll take my people back now.”

Lei Tong was all smiles, seemingly reaping a huge harvest.

“Alright then.”

Yue’er’s face showed a look of regret.

Lei Tong left with the wounded, and the formation at Evergreen Pavilion was also lifted, with martial artists coming and going in an endless stream.

Of course, there was a daily quota limit, and once the quota was reached, the rest had to wait for the next day.

Thus, every day there were people queuing outside Evergreen Pavilion.

There were also those who came to cause trouble, but under the deterrence of Zhu Xingzheng, the Divine Refinement Celestial, the troublemakers paid a heavy price.

Even late-stage Divine Refinement martial artists from Spiritual Sect didn’t want to queue and started trouble, Cai Ling’er struck one dead with a slap.

Supreme Expert!

After that, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.

Lei Tong and others, on their way back to Leiyun Mountain Manor, were in a hurry, their faces full of excitement.

“Have you obtained the techniques of the Alchemical Medical?”

Lei Tong asked in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

A martial artist nodded.

“Good, with countless talents in Leiyun Mountain Manor, once we study thoroughly, Evergreen Pavilion shall vanish!”

Lei Tong’s eyes shimmered with a cold light.

“Did you also steal some pills?”

“Yes!”

Another martial artist nodded.

“Take out the Alchemical Medical techniques manual and let’s have a look.”

Lei Tong said impatiently.

The martial artist who believed he had obtained the manual of the Alchemical Medical techniques took out a booklet from his storage bag.

“Elder, here it is!”

Lei Tong reached out to take it and flipped through the booklet, his smile immediately froze.

“Did you get the wrong one?”

He asked, puzzled.

“No, Elder, it’s this one!”

Lei Tong took a deep breath and flung the booklet at the martial artist’s face, shouting angrily, “Look at this, what is it?!”

The martial artist was startled, opened the booklet, and saw that it was filled with nonsensical, scrawled symbols, nothing but gibberish.

His face changed color, and in haste, he flipped through the rest, only to find each page was similar.

“How can this be possible… I definitely copied it down, I didn’t miss anything.”

He took out his storage bag, poured out its contents.

The copied Alchemical Medical techniques were indeed in that booklet, but why…?

Lei Tong had an ominous feeling and looked towards the one who claimed to have stolen the pills, and said in a stern voice, “Where are your pills?”

The martial artist, also feeling a bad premonition, took out the stolen pills, laid them in his palm, and upon close inspection, his face turned green.

It appeared to be just pellets of mud!

Lei Tong’s expression darkened, feeling as if he was being played like a monkey, and at this moment, the people in Evergreen Pavilion were probably laughing at them.

And thinking deeper, this was an extremely terrifying matter.

To be able to deceive a Divine Refinement Celestial and even a Supreme Expert like him, to fall into an illusion—what terrifying means was this?

“I didn’t detect any abnormalities!”

One of the wounded, the Supreme Expert from Leiyun Mountain Manor, spoke with a heavy expression now.

“Elder, Evergreen Pavilion has ridiculed us to such an extent, their insolence is too much, this is humiliating our Leiyun Mountain Manor, let’s take direct action, capture them!”

A martial artist said angrily.
