A moment later.
Liu Jie’s mansion.
As soon as he opened the main gate, he saw the figure of Jiang Yuan.
He immediately exclaimed with joy, “Brother Jiang!”
Jiang Yuan smiled, “Senior Brother Liu, long time no see! I hope you wouldn’t mind my abrupt visit!”
“Not at all!” He shook his head repeatedly, and then, while standing to one side of the gate, extended his hand and welcomed, “Brother Jiang, please come in!”
Jiang Yuan crossed the threshold and saw the maids coming and going in the courtyard.
Then he chuckled, “Aren’t you afraid that Senior Sister Liu might be unhappy about all these young and beautiful maids in your mansion, Senior Brother Liu?”
Liu Jie was embarrassed, “Brother Jiang, don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing inappropriate between Liu Rushi and I!”
“Really?” Jiang Yuan chuckled, “Brother Liu, don’t be shy. Having a Dao Companion to support each other on the cultivation path would make things much more relaxed. I can tell that Senior Sister Liu also has a good impression on you.”
“Really?” Liu Jie’s eyes widened in surprise.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Of course, believe me, it wouldn’t be wrong. Don’t miss out on a good woman like Senior Sister Liu.”
Liu Jie scratched his head, “But I’m too shy!”
“What is there to be shy about! A gentleman’s love is sought after by all! Isn’t it just right?” Jiang Yuan encouraged.
Then he gritted his teeth, “Fine… Next time I successfully return from practicing in the cave dwelling, I will…”
“Stop!” Jiang Yuan quickly interrupted him and didn’t let him finish.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yuan had a feeling that this practice would not be smooth.
Liu Jie looked at Jiang Yuan with confusion, “Brother Jiang, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing!” Jiang Yuan smiled without saying a word.
He thought to himself, fortunately, I interrupted his casting!
He then added, “Brother Liu, have you and the disciple of the Sunset Sect agreed on a time yet?”
Liu Jie shook his head, “Not yet, they don’t seem to be in a hurry either!”
Jiang Yuan said, “That’s perfect then, if you want to set a time, make it one month later.”
“I plan to open 215 spiritual veins, leaving only the last bottleneck. In case of any accident, I can immediately break through to the sixth level of the meridian-breaking realm!”
“This…” Liu Jie marvelled, “Such a risky move, is it necessary!”
Jiang Yuan shook his head, “One must be wary of others, if they find a great opportunity there, who can guarantee that they will abide by the agreement!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jie bowed to Jiang Yuan and said, “Our safety will rest upon you, Brother Jiang! I am currently only at the fourth level of the meridian-breaking realm with the fifth still far in the future!”
“If there is a real crisis, I may not be of much help!”
The three were walking and talking.
Jiang Yuan chuckled, “No need to be so formal! Since we joined the sect, Senior Brother Liu, you have helped me a lot!”
“As long as their strength does not surpass the meridian-breaking realm, I have the confidence to hold my ground.”
Hearing this, Liu Jie said, “Then, we will have to rely on Brother Jiang!”
Later, Jiang Yuan had a few cups of liquor at Liu Jie’s mansion.
Then he returned to his mansion.
In the small courtyard, the Spirit Gathering Array disc in the center had been arranged by Shu Xiaoxiao according to the formation pattern.
Now, in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, those 365 array discs, connected by strange patterns, interweaved with each other.
Although he had never studied the Tao of formation, looking at those extremely complicated lines, he had a sense of awe in his heart.
He sat cross-legged, then threw 365 low-grade spiritual stones into the array disc.
The dark patterns on the disc brightened instantly, the spiritual energy within tens of meters around began to violent, and gathered towards his small courtyard.
In his eyes, those strands of spiritual energy were continuously converging towards him.
Countless threads of spiritual energy merged into one, rushing over like a tide.
This is indeed different! Jiang Yuan thought to himself.
He quickly closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the air into his body.
In an instant, he felt a painful sensation as if thousands of needles were stabbing into his body!
Hissss!
Jiang Yuan drew in a sharp breath.
Compared to the primary Spirit Gathering Array, the unusual feeling now is ten times stronger.
But feeling the efficiency and speed of his cultivation now, ten times faster than before, he instantly felt that it was all worth it.
Only his physical body could withstand such a violent influx of spiritual energy.
Once he was completely assured, he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and sunk his divine soul.
He started to operate the power of his divine soul to refine the spiritual energy and open up the meridians within his body.
Time slowly passed.
Every three days, Jiang Yuan would stop cultivating and rest for a while.
Because the efficiency of the intermediate Spirit Gathering Array compared to the low-level one had increased tenfold, but the load on his body also increased tenfold.
Taking a rest will return his body to its peak condition, which is more conducive to his cultivation.
In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath.
The meridians in his body had been opened up to 215, just as he originally thought.
As for the last one, he had already opened more than ninety percent of it.
With a thought, he can formally break through in an instant.
But this was just a precautionary measure, if there was a real emergency, giving him enough self-protection capacity.
Jiang Yuan trusted himself that if he made a sudden breakthrough to the sixth level of the meridian-breaking realm, he won’t fear anyone under the Spiritual Sea Realm.
Even if not victorious, he could withdraw safely.
After completely letting go, he got up and walked out of the small courtyard.
Since he was about to go out, he had to prepare for all possibilities. Only half a month had passed, so he still had ample time.
The realm could no longer be improved for now, so he planned to enhance his combat power through martial arts.
He had not studied the Heavenly Fire archery technique even once.
When he arrived at the front yard, his expression suddenly changed.
Because at this point, the gate to his mansion was wide open, and the sound of sword humming from outside the courtyard could be heard intermittently.
Suddenly, a phoenix’s chirp rang out.
It’s her!
Jiang Yuan was astonished.
Just then, there was a sound of crashing waves from outside the courtyard.
Jiang Yuan’s figure flashed, and he appeared at the gate.
Then he saw that Shu Xiaoxiao’s long sword was already at Su Luo’s neck.
The ground was a mess, with numerous sword marks and traces of flames left by burning fires everywhere.
Su Luo’s fair neck had a line of crimson blood slowly trickling down.
“Get lost!” Shu Xiaoxiao yelled, “If you dare disturb the young master’s cultivation again, I won’t be so talkative!”
Having said that, she turned to look at Jiang Yuan, put her sword away, and looked at him with a sweet smile.
“Young Master, you have finished your seclusion!”
At this moment, Su Luo was in a daze.
She was a true disciple of Wushan Mountain, the second place in the internal sect examination. If it were in the past, her strength would have surely won the first place.
But today, I was beaten by Jiang Yuan’s little maid, how is this possible!
Su Luo’s face was filled with disbelief.
The most crucial point is, she is younger than me, her realm is only at the third level of the Meridian Breaking Stage, yet she defeated me easily.
Do I truly deserve to be a true disciple of Wushan Mountain?
Am I truly as outstanding as my master said?
At this moment, she couldn’t help but doubt her own talents.
Because this defeat was too heavy for her to take.
If she lost to Jiang Yuan, she could accept it!
After all, Jiang Yuan’s performance that day left everyone speechless.
She came to challenge Jiang Yuan today, just because of her persistence in not being satisfied with being second place without a fight that day.
She wanted to compete with Jiang Yuan fair and square, no matter the circumstances, and accept defeat graciously!
But what she never expected was that she would be easily defeated by a little maid beside him before she could challenge Jiang Yuan.
If people heard about this, no one would believe it.
Because this is ridiculous!
How can a direct disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect, not be as good as a small maid.
She touched her neck and then saw the blood on her fingertips, which left her in silence.
The scene just a while ago was not an illusion or a dream.
She really lost to a maid.
At this time, Jiang Yuan stroked Shu Xiaoxiao’s hair.
“It seems you were a bit too harsh in your attack, you’ve hurt her pretty badly!”
Shu Xiaoxiao was immediately annoyed and said, “I didn’t want to bother with her, but she was so stubborn!”
“I had no choice, I had to take action! To make her back down!”
“With her strength, how is she worthy to compete with Young Master!”
Hearing these words, Su Luo slowly came back to her senses.
She looked at Jiang Yuan with a bitter smile and said, “I was too naive! I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even defeat your maid! How am I qualified to challenge you!”
After saying this, she picked up her long sword and left in a trance.
Her red outfit, like a defeated rooster, was filled with frustration.
Jiang Yuan reluctantly smiled. He did not expect that Su Luo would challenge him at this time.
However, it’s good this way, she should not seek him out again in the future.
She is the kind of person who will not give up until she achieves her goal.
I hope this defeat won’t cause too much psychological trauma for her.
After all, losing to a maid, for many geniuses, inevitably causes them to doubt their lives.
Thinking about it, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
Now that Su Luo feels this way, he believes others will feel the same in the future.
Shu Xiaoxiao is no ordinary person, she is the reincarnation of a peerless swordsman’s true spirit from the upper realm.
Since she is prefixed with the word ‘peerless’, her previous life must have been extraordinary.
Then he again looked at Shu Xiaoxiao’s status panel.
[Name]: Shu Xiaoxiao
[Realm]: Meridian Breaking Stage Third Level
[Predestined Qi Movement]: Swordsman Rebirth (Gold) Peerless Beauty (Gold) Auspicious Signs in Disasters (Purple) Favored by Fortune (Blue) Innocent Heart (Blue) Outstanding Talent (Blue) Superior Insight (Green) Body of Wood (Green)
Jiang Yuan patted her on the head: “You go back first! I’m going to practice archery!”
“Okay!” Shu Xiaoxiao obediently nodded her head.
Jiang Yuan’s figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.
On a cliff.
Jiang Yuan stood at the edge of the precipice.
The sharp mountain wind made the trees bow, and also made his robe flutter.
If an ordinary person stood here, they could be swept away by the mountain wind at any time, falling into the ravine.
But for a cultivator, even if they jumped off the cliff, they could land safely.
At this time, he was still holding the secret scroll of the Heavenly Fire in his hand.
From the moment he began to understand it, he had an initial insight into this archery technique.
However, if he wanted to truly learn this technique quickly and understand its essence, the shortcut would be to observe the true manifestation of the Heavenly Fire.
As he thought of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yuan’s mouth.
The descent of the Heavenly Fire, for others, might only be seen once every few years, or even longer.
So how could they ponder over it, but he is different.
Controlling the power of magnetic fields, he can create the power of the Heavenly Fire.
He picked up a stone of about twenty pounds from the ground.
He weighed it, then wrapped a strand of divine sense around it.
Next moment, he cast it towards the sky with all his might, and the trajectory of the rising stone was the magnetic field track in his eyes.
Under his control, in an instant, the stone disappeared.
It disappeared from his ultimate range of perception, and at the same time, the strand of divine sense wrapped around it also disappeared completely.
After a long time.
The length of a tea’s time.
A flash of fire suddenly appeared in the sky above.
Even in broad daylight, this flash of fire was very clearly visible.
Every breath, that flash of fire grew larger.
Tens of breaths later.
The fireball in the sky was clearly visible to Jiang Yuan.
He closed his eyes, just relying on his divine sense to perceive.
At this moment, that feeling of burning, fury, majesty…
All kinds of insights were emerging in his mind.
After a long time.
Boom
With a loud noise, the ground cracked, and dirt waves rolled.
One by one, the towering old trees fell under this impact.
Crackle!
A forest fire gradually ignited.
Jiang Yuan picked up a stone, and with a thought.
With the acceleration of the magnetic field, the stone instantaneously accelerated to a high speed from a standstill.
It flew over the forest canopy.
Boom
Under the impact of this stone, dirt splattered and instantly extinguished the forest fire that had just ignited.
