Chapter 135: Your Disciple, Xu Yan, Kills a Grand Master with One Palm

A golden light appeared, and Li Xuan thought it was feedback from Su Lingxiu's entry into the martial arts. Surprisingly, it was feedback from Xu Yan instead.

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, has consecutively defeated Grand Masters in martial arts sparring at the Seven Stars Academy. You have gained guidance experience."

Li Xuan was taken aback. Xu Yan had gone to the Seven Stars Academy and defeated their Grand Masters in sparring?

The Seven Stars Academy was one of the top powers in the Inner Domain, an extremely unique and influential force. Some sect leaders even originated from this academy and served as teachers there.

"I hope this doesn't attract the attention of a Grand Master," Li Xuan thought with concern.

"Will Xu Yan's visit to the Seven Stars Academy stir up a conflict between true and false martial arts?" The mere thought of this possibility gave Li Xuan a headache.

Xu Yan wasn't strong enough yet. If such a conflict were to arise, the storm it would bring would be absolutely terrifying.

Another golden light appeared.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has successfully cultivated the martial arts technique you created. You have achieved the Great Perfection of Elixir Medic Martial Arts and Elixir Medic Techniques."

The feedback from Su Lingxiu's entry into martial arts had arrived.

In this instant, Li Xuan completely grasped the Elixir Medic Martial Arts, from the foundation to the Precelestial Realm.

Moreover, his Elixir Medic Techniques had also improved significantly.

The entry into Elixir Medic Martial Arts cultivation and the subsequent Precelestial Realm cultivation did not differ much from orthodox martial arts, except for their focus on Elixir Medic Techniques.

Thus, with Su Lingxiu's entry, Li Xuan obtained the complete cultivation methods and martial arts techniques for the Elixir Medic Martial Arts up to the Precelestial Realm.

His Elixir Medic Techniques had also advanced beyond the basic level.

"Your Jade Bone, Diamond Glass Bone, and Evergreen Bone have evolved into the Innate Immortal Bone."

A golden light appeared once more.

Li Xuan was thrilled. In this moment, he underwent a transformation.

His Innate Spirit Bone had evolved into the Innate Immortal Bone!

An endless stream of vitality flowed within the spirit bone, as if it possessed an inexhaustible source of life.

Of course, this did not imply that he would never run out of lifespan.

If his martial arts realm couldn't break through further, even if he lived several times or even ten times longer than his peers, he would still eventually meet his end.

The difference was that his Innate Spirit Bone now possessed an immortal characteristic.

After several years, the spirit bone would give birth to consciousness and turn into a skeleton monster? Of course, the consciousness of that skeleton would no longer be him.

However, now that he possessed the Innate Immortal Bone, how could his martial arts stagnate? This was already an incredibly formidable talent.

Especially when faced with injuries, he could recover quickly.

As long as he wasn't instantly killed, no matter how severe his injuries were, he wouldn't perish. With the support of his powerful Immortal Bone, he would rapidly recover from his wounds.

"My strength has increased again," Li Xuan exclaimed with excitement.

"With my Innate Immortal Bone and Dragon Soaring Mountain River Overlord Spirit Body, even if I cultivate the martial arts of this world, my talent is still top-notch and monstrous."

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh with excitement. Even if he couldn't create any more martial arts techniques, with this monstrous talent, he could still easily dominate his peers by cultivating the martial arts of this world.

"With my current foundation, I should be able to kill even those above the Grand Master level, right?"

As long as his disciples diligently cultivated, he could become invincible without lifting a finger.

"I've already created three martial arts systems and formulated three types of foundations. How else can I develop them further?"

Li Xuan fell into deep thought. What martial arts should he create for his fourth disciple?

"I should take some time to wander around the desolate border and see if there are any suitable disciples. If not, I'll have to wait until I enter the Inner Domain and hope to encounter suitable candidates there." Li Xuan pondered.

He hadn't finished formulating the fourth martial arts system yet and only had a vague idea, unsure if it would be feasible.

"Master, I've broken through!" Su Lingxiu exclaimed as she rushed over with excitement, her delicate face flushed.

She had just broken through to the Qi and Blood Realm, and the Precelestial Realm didn't seem far off now. All she needed was to steadily cultivate.

"Now that you've entered, focus on comprehending the Elixir Medic Martial Arts that I've taught you, including acupoint techniques, golden needle techniques, and more. The Elixir Medic Manual is the foundation, so study it thoroughly," Li Xuan instructed with a nod.

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Su Lingxiu replied, brimming with enthusiasm.

She opened her tender palm, and a stream of qi and blood appeared, gradually transforming into a flame-like shape.

This was the transformation of qi and blood into Elixir Fire!

Li Xuan's heart stirred, and he said, "Your control over qi and blood is still weak. I'll teach you a method to improve your control."

Previously, Xu Yan had improved his control over qi and blood by roasting meat with it for a period, eventually achieving 100% control.

She lifted the pill furnace, her qi and blood swirling around it in mid-air, while the other hand's qi transformed into Elixir Fire, scorching the furnace. She began to attempt pill refining with her qi and blood.

Once she mastered pill refining with the aid of the furnace, the next step would be to refine pills with her bare hands.

That was the true core technique of the Elixir Medic Martial Arts.

"I wonder how Xu Yan is doing at the Seven Stars Academy?" Li Xuan frowned, deep in thought.

Xu Yan was currently engaging in martial arts discussions and sparring at the Seven Stars Academy, consecutively defeating their Grand Masters. Surely, the academy would want to save face?

Would they become enraged and send a Grand Master Master against him?

"That's not right. If the Seven Stars Academy values their reputation, they wouldn't deploy a Grand Master to bully a junior. It would be a disgraceful victory, but I wonder if they'll resort to underhanded tactics instead?"

Li Xuan gazed toward the Inner Domain, contemplating whether he should pay a visit to the Seven Stars Academy.

Grand Master cultivators were like insignificant grasshoppers to him; he could swat them with a single palm.

Su Lingxiu, after attaining a basic understanding of the Elixir Medic Martial Arts, dedicated herself fully to comprehending its intricacies and extending her insights. She gradually delved deeper into the Elixir Medic Manual and began to develop her own interpretations.

Her pill refining techniques also improved steadily.

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, during the martial arts discussions at the Seven Stars Academy, has shaken the hearts and minds of numerous Grand Masters, causing them to question their own martial path. Your experience in expounding the martial path has skyrocketed, and your mental state has reached a state of clarity and perfection."

Xu Yan had not only sparred with the Grand Masters but also engaged in profound discussions about martial arts, causing them to doubt their own cultivation paths?

Had Xu Yan questioned the validity of their cultivation and implied that only his own martial path was the true way?

"Xu Yan isn't foolish; he wouldn't deliberately anger them, especially knowing that there are Grand Masters present," Li Xuan reasoned, feeling a slight headache forming.

The next day, as Li Xuan was settling his mental state and studying the ancient leather book, a golden light appeared once more.

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, has successfully separated his true qi and comprehended its profound mysteries. You have gained insight into the origin of true qi, and your control over its transformations is now effortless."

In that instant, Li Xuan understood the profound mysteries of true qi, and he could manipulate its transformations however he wished.

He was astonished by this development.

"Xu Yan has indeed separated his true qi and comprehended its profound mysteries. He is truly the trailblazer of my martial arts path; I am overjoyed!"

Li Xuan's heart was filled with elation.

Now that Xu Yan had comprehended the profound mysteries of true qi, it wouldn't be long before he grasped the method of comprehending the profound mysteries of the world.

Li Xuan raised a single finger, and a wisp of true qi appeared. With his newfound control, he shaped the true qi into the form of a tree and then transformed it into the shape of a cat, effortlessly shifting its shape as he pleased.

"With my insight into the origin of true qi and its effortless transformations, my strength has increased even further."

Xu Yan's successful separation of true qi and comprehension of its mysteries had naturally led to a significant boost in his strength, which, in turn, enhanced Li Xuan's power.

Three days later, the golden light appeared again.

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, has broken through to the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Your strength has surged, and you have touched upon the meaning of comprehending the profound mysteries of the world."

Li Xuan felt his true qi surging wildly within him. The already powerful and pure true qi had become even more robust and refined, and he had gained a glimpse of the meaning behind comprehending the profound mysteries of the world.

"Xu Yan has broken through to the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and with his comprehension of true qi's mysteries, his current strength is enough to kill even a Grand Master Master."

Even if he encountered a powerful Grand Master, Xu Yan could now protect himself, if not defeat them outright.

Suddenly, the golden light appeared once more.

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, while being pursued by a Grand Master, has achieved partial success in the Thunder Crossing the Sky Movement Technique. Your Thunder Crossing the Void technique has improved."

Damn!

Instead of Xu Yan, it was Meng Chong who was being chased by a Grand Master? What had happened?

"My disciples are truly extraordinary; they're only interested in high-stakes challenges!"

Li Xuan sighed inwardly. Ever since entering the Inner Domain, his disciples were either defeating Grand Masters or fleeing from them.

Now, a Grand Master was in pursuit once more.

"Meng Chong's breakthrough during his escape has further increased his speed, and he should be able to evade capture by the Grand Master."

Li Xuan mused to himself, estimating the situation.

Three days later...

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, with a single palm strike, has slain a Grand Master, shocking the entire Seven Stars Academy. Your martial arts divine technique, One Strike Kills, has gained experience from this battle!"

Li Xuan: ...

How long had it been since Xu Yan's breakthrough? And now he had killed a Grand Master with a single strike?

Li Xuan looked toward the Inner Domain, his heart stirring with anticipation. He felt the urge to venture into the Inner Domain and see for himself.

The next day, the feedback from the golden finger arrived once more.

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, while being pursued by a Grand Master, has achieved partial success in the Great Sun Golden Body technique. Your Great Sun Golden Body has reached perfection (Innate Realm)

."

Li Xuan could no longer remain idle.

"What exactly have my two disciples been up to in the Inner Domain?"

Li Xuan's head was spinning.

One was killing Grand Masters, and the other was being chased by them.

And now, Xu Yan had started killing Grand Masters...

"Isn't it said that Grand Masters in the Inner Domain are already top-notch, and Grand Master Masters are at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Inner Domain? It hasn't been that long, and a Grand Master Master has already been killed."

Li Xuan even suspected that next, Xu Yan wouldn't just be killing Grand Masters, but Grand Master Masters as well.

One sword strike to kill a Grand Master Master?

That's too outrageous!

"How did Meng Chong provoke a Grand Master Master? He's still being pursued; I wonder if he's managed to escape yet."

Li Xuan sighed inwardly. The Inner Domain was so vast that even if he went to rescue them, he wouldn't know where to start looking.

"Since he was able to break through his strength while being chased, it shouldn't be too dangerous. If Xu Yan receives the news, he'll surely go to his aid as well."

Xu Yan had already killed a Grand Master Master with a single palm strike, and the Grand Master Master chasing Meng Chong hadn't caught up with him for so long, so his strength probably wasn't that strong either.

...

Inner Domain.

After Xu Yan let the black-robed man go, he secretly followed him.

The black-robed man was very cautious and seemed worried about being tailed. He kept changing directions and constantly tested to see if anyone was following him.

Only after confirming that he wasn't being followed did he return to his base.

What surprised Xu Yan was that the black-robed man was heading back to Thousand Star Lake.

"Could he be a Grand Master from the Wushuang Pavilion? Is the enemy behind my junior sister from the Wushuang Pavilion?"

Xu Yan frowned.

Recalling the words of the Wushuang Pavilion manager, it seemed that the pavilion was merely acting on a request for a bounty and was not the mastermind behind it all, and they knew that the black-robed man was a ruthless character.

Hence, they had warned him to be careful of being silenced.

"Even if he isn't a Grand Master from the Wushuang Pavilion, he must have connections with a powerful figure within the pavilion."

Xu Yan thought to himself.

The black-robed man entered Thousand Star Lake and made his way to a certain location.

In the lake, a small island came into view, and amidst the lush green trees, a courtyard could be seen.

"Is this their lair?"

Xu Yan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly dismissed the idea. "This should be one of their branch locations!"

The black-robed man entered the small island, and a voice called out from the courtyard, "Twenty-Seven, did you catch the person?"

"I was tricked, and Twenty-Five was killed by him!"

The black-robed man replied angrily.

"What? Who did this?"

An angry voice rang out from the courtyard.

Xu Yan slowly crept closer, his heart pounding with excitement. "These people must be hoarding a huge fortune, right? They casually offered a reward of 100,000 spirit crystals. This branch must be storing some treasures!"

Not only could he kill his junior sister's enemy, but he could also make a windfall. Where else could he find such a good opportunity?

As he drew closer, he remained vigilant. If there was a Grand Master Master on the small island, he would have to retreat temporarily and come back after breaking through his own strength.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed out.

Boom!

A powerful aura emerged, and five figures flew out from the courtyard.

Including the black-robed man who had just returned, there were three Grand Masters, and the other two were actually half-step Grand Master Masters.

There was no Grand Master Master present.

Xu Yan immediately broke into a smile. "Are you all more interested in money or your lives? If you value your lives, hand over your spirit crystals and spirit pills!"

The black-robed man who had just escaped was shocked and furious. The opponent had managed to track him here without him realizing it.

"It's him! He killed Twenty-Five!"

He roared, his body erupting with a formidable aura. "Attack together and kill him!"

They rushed forward to engage Xu Yan.

Roar!

Xu Yan struck out with a palm, and a golden dragon roared forth, shaking Twenty-Seven's mind. Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Xu Yan unleashed a powerful blast that instantly exploded his body into pieces that rained down in all directions.

The golden dragon coiled and swept up the spirit tickets with its tail, instantly grinding the corpse fragments into dust!

The remaining four were stunned.

They had thought that once Twenty-Seven was defeated, they would have a chance to join the fight and help him. But before they knew it, Twenty-Seven had already perished!

"You're courting death!"

The two half-step Grand Master Masters were engulfed in raging anger as they lunged at Xu Yan.

The other two Grand Masters were also furious. Twenty-Seven had called for their assistance, but they had only intended to watch from the sidelines. They hadn't expected Twenty-Seven to be killed in an instant.

Shocked and angry that one of their own had fallen, they joined the battle, determined to take down Xu Yan.

Sword light flashed as a longsword was unsheathed. Xu Yan faced the two half-step Grand Master Masters and dared not be the slightest bit careless.

He unleashed the Mountain River Sword Intent, and the sword light surged forth in layers, sweeping out in all directions. Under the impetus of the sword intent, a chilling killing intent engulfed everything in its path.
