Chapter Nineteen One Finger

  "Four-sided heavenly yuan bean?" His entire body's breathing became urgent: "This is too generous!"

  He is already forty-seven years old this year, although he was born in a humble family, but relying on his ruthless and astonishing luck, he actually rushed to the top of the Yuan Dragon Realm.

  If nothing unexpected happens, his lifetime achievement will be limited to this. The so-called Yuan Long is the high protrusion of the sun hole, which can be said to be the peak among ordinary martial artists. Most of the leaders, protectors and door masters of ordinary sects are at this level of cultivation.

  In the eyes of a true great warrior, Yuan Long's boundary is slightly insufficient. The high and prominent temples are just trivial matters for them. Only by breaking through the Ji Shan boundary, striking the cow across the mountain and injuring people in the air, can one truly enter the realm of martial arts.

  But Ma Qianjun had already passed the prime of his life, and although he said that his martial arts skills were becoming more refined, he was approaching the time when he would know his fate, and gradually showing signs of decline in both his energy and blood, with no hope of further progress, advancing to the realm of isolation, and even he himself had given up hope.

  But the more he broke through the isolation boundary, the more he yearned to know that after breaking through the yuan dragon boundary, not only would his martial arts cultivation increase exponentially, but he could also easily suppress the entire Tianyi Gang and Yunzhong County, and even benefit his lifespan, with the isolation boundary able to live at least ten years longer than the yuan dragon boundary.

  However, the spiritual medicine that can help him break through the mountain boundary is mostly a legendary fairy family spiritual medicine, such as Zhuji Dan. Either it's priced with spirit stones, or even if he spends all his wealth, he can't buy half a grain, and Sifang Tianyuan Bean is one of these spiritual medicines.

  For someone like him who has just begun to decline in both Qi and Blood, the Four-Sided Heavenly Yuan Bean is truly a divine medicine that can restore his vitality to its peak. Even if it cannot break through the boundary of the isolated mountain, the benefits are boundless. It's just too precious; Ma Qianjun had seen it once on the black market, but someone snatched it away with a price of 800 taels of gold.

  "So he had to repeat himself: 'You mean Sichuan Peppercorn Tofu?'"

  "That's right!" Pang Tian Shan said with a smile: "It's just a humble four-square heavenly yuan bean, most suitable for Master Ma's situation. This time, I'll have to rely heavily on Master Ma!"

  "Good!" Ma Qianjun shouted loudly: "Brother Pang, please rest assured, this time I will take out all the capital that has been suppressed, you can be sure that those two thieves, Gu Yinghua and Liu Suizhen, will not escape!"

  Absolutely can't go!

  His eyes almost welled up with tears: "What I didn't expect was that a 47-year-old old man would still have one last chance!"

  "Kill!"

  A golden sword ruthlessly stabbed into the body of the Fire Spirit Tiger, causing it to let out a series of painful cries. Then, Huo Qian Shu's pair of Flowing Star Hammers struck again, smashing down until blood sprayed everywhere, and the Fire Spirit Tiger's body was a mess that couldn't be looked at directly. Yet, with a loud roar, it swiped its paw and pushed Huo Qian Shu away, still charging towards Gu Yinghua.

  Willow followed the cloud, one move, heavenly tears star sword fell, another golden light sword symbol was tied to the Fire Spirit Tiger's body, tying this Fire Spirit Tiger's movement slightly stagnant, shouting: "Fire Uncle, hurry!"

  Hu Qian's forehead was already drenched with sweat, but he didn't dare relax in the slightest. He continued to strike repeatedly, more than a dozen heavy blows landing one after another, finally causing the Fire Spirit Tiger to erupt in flames. Within three feet, flames burst out everywhere, and the Fire Spirit Tiger let out a loud thud as it fell to the ground, unable to get back up.

  "It's all gone!"

  Liu's mood suddenly lifted, and he raised the Tianlei Starfall Sword to stab the Huoling Tiger from afar. After that, he directly sat down on the ground. On the other hand, Huo Qianshu still tightly grasped the Liuxing Hammer, carefully examining the remains of the Huoling Tiger: "It's really been killed, good!"

  Compared to the small path opened up by Yu Changkong, the small path explored by Liu Suizhen is extremely difficult to navigate, not to mention that from time to time, they would unexpectedly encounter some extremely powerful demon beasts, like this fire spirit tiger which was just another one of the demon beasts they encountered in the past two days.

  Even with Huo Qianhu and Liu Suizhen joining forces, and Liu Suizhen repeatedly using the Tianlei Xuanjian, a top-grade artifact, the battle was still extremely arduous. At times, it even escalated into an intense fight, to the point where Gu Yinghua had to join in as well.

  Unlike what Liu Suiyun imagined, Gu Yinghua was not a simple rich and noble lady. She cut off a piece of her long red skirt with a hundred pleats and didn't completely drag him down. Many times she could help out a bit, just like now she had already started to bandage for Liu Suiyun: "Liu Suiyun, let me take a look at your injuries!"

  "It's just a scratch, nothing serious!" Liu Suizhen replied casually: "But our journey is slower than expected, will there be anyone to meet us in Yuanzhou?"

  Gu Yinghua didn't answer Liu Suoyun's question, instead she proudly raised her head: "Your current cultivation is at the peak of the first layer of Qi Refining, right? You'll have a chance to break through to the second layer of Qi Refining soon?"

  Ji Yuan Huang Lei's Divine Art is indeed a cultivation technique that advances extremely quickly, even earning the reputation of "the fastest in the world". Regardless of whether it truly lives up to this name, as long as one can absorb the essence of the heavens and earth during the initial stages of practice, they will be able to progress rapidly. Liu Su Yun had only just broken through the Refining Qi stage a few days ago, but now he has already reached the peak of the first layer of Refining Qi.

  Such rapid progress is often only possible for those with the best qualifications and countless spiritual objects and elixirs, ordinary cultivators usually need to spend several months to break through to the second layer of Lianqi, some with poor qualifications even need to spend two or three years to break through the second layer of Lianqi, from this point of view, the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei's Forging Divine Record is indeed a very special cultivation method.

  "Miss Gu's discerning eye!"

  Gu Yinghua had already finished bandaging Liu Suizhen's wound, and she continued to say: "You are now at the peak of the first layer of Qi Refining. With the Tian Lei Xing sword, you're almost at the level of a fourth-layer Qi Refiner. It's really too weak!"

  Liu Suiyun did not get angry because of Gu Yinghua's sentence "too weak", but he was shocked by Gu Yinghua's astonishing eyesight, and what Gu Yinghua said was accurate to the slightest detail.

  Although he didn't know what kind of background Gu Yinghua had, in actual combat, he also confirmed that Miss Gu had no spiritual power and was not a martial artist. However, relying solely on her eyesight, she had already made Liu Suoyun surrender: "Miss Gu, you are absolutely right."

  "If that young lady's guess is correct!" Gu Yinghua said lightly: "The Aurora Divine Thunder you used to blast the Pang family's Iron Stone Formation wasn't your original strength. Although that Aurora Divine Thunder was a watered-down version, at least a cultivator of the seventh layer of Qi Refining would be needed to release it."

  Liu nodded slightly: "That was me borrowing a disposable spiritual object to barely manage that one hit, I couldn't muster a second."

  "That's right!" Gu Yinghua said bluntly: "You're now so weak that you don't even have the standard of a mid-term Qi-refining stage, how can you escort me to Yuanzhou?"

  Gu Yinghua's words were somewhat harsh, but for a small place like Yunzhong County, the strength of the fourth layer of Qi Refining was already extremely rare. Let alone Liu Suoyun's actual cultivation was only at the peak of the first layer of Qi Refining. This Tianlei Starfall Sword indeed had an astonishing power, and it actually allowed a small cultivator of the first layer of Qi Refining to surpass three levels and rival a cultivator of the fourth layer of Qi Refining.

  But Liu Suizhen acknowledged that Gu Yinghua was not wrong at all: "Miss Gu is right, now Liu Suizhen only has a strong iron will left, even if I die, I must send Miss Gu to Yuanzhou!"

  Gu Yinghua rarely nodded slightly: "Not bad, not bad, at least as a servant of Miss, it's qualified. Miss made a mistake in one thing at the beginning! I didn't expect that Miss, such a wise and powerful person, would also make an incorrect judgment!"

  Liu smiled faintly: "Alright then, when we arrive at Yuanzhou, I'll treat Miss Gu to a bowl of salty tofu pudding!"

  Gu Yinghua revealed her pearly white teeth: "No, I think it's you who's wrong. How could a servant like you have the opportunity to taste sweet bean paste? A servant like you is not on the same level as me. The Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Zhuan Shen Record is probably the only skill you can find, right? And yet, I'm actually discussing the Supreme Tao with someone like you - it's simply finding the wrong target."

  Liu Suiyun's expression turned gloomy, he knew that the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Du Shen Record was indeed a wonderful technique in its early stages, with rapid progress and quick advancement. However, this kind of rapid technique would naturally have many limitations in the middle and late stages. To say nothing of other things, after reaching the foundation-building stage, there were many bottlenecks in the Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Du Shen Record.

  But for him, sometimes the road is not chosen by himself, so he becomes relaxed after being disappointed: "Does Miss Gu still want to reward me with a supreme skill?"

  Gu Yinghua smiled slightly: "What level of Qi refining were you at before you got injured?"

  Liu Suiyun immediately replied: "The seventh layer of Qi refining, if this Tian Lei Xing Dun sword is added, it can counter a ninth-layer Qi-refining cultivator."

  If a cultivator of the first layer of Qi Refining can wield the Tianlei Starfall Sword to transcend three ranks and defeat their enemies, then by the seventh layer of Qi Refining, this sword can only transcend two ranks. But even just this is enough to drive countless Qi Refining cultivators mad.

  Gu Yinghua has already made her own judgment: "That's barely enough to qualify as my servant, you know that not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can be my servant! Liu Suizhen, I'll give you a finger, the supreme way is right under my feet!"

  As she spoke, Gu Yinghua's face was pinched into a Lan flower shape with her jade-like fingers, and then gently touched Liu Suoyun's forehead.
