Chapter 7: Return To Lin City (1/2)
Chapter 7 Return To Lin City
Lu Xuan continued to cultivate for a full ten days time.
Within these ten days, Lu Xuan’s days passed by pretty nicely. Every day, other than cultivating Tai Yi Soul Return Tactic, he practiced the Blinking Sword Skill, and the progress was fast, letting him feel very excited!
Thanks to his extreme talents, within the very short period of ten days, Lu Xuan had already arrived at body refining third level’s peak. He was only a step away from body refining fourth level.
What gave Lu Xuan encouragement was although he hadn’t reached body refining fourth level, he could feel that, at this time, his fist strength had definitely broken the 1400 jin mark!
There was no doubt that the reason for this kind of change was naturally because of the Tai Yi Soul Return Tactic.
Although the degree of fist strength was used to measure the level under normal circumstances, that was only used for ordinary martial artists. For some martial artists that had cultivated to a higher level, with the same level, the explosive strength wasn’t the same.
Tai Yi Soul Return Tactic’s circulation path fully traveled through twenty-six meridians throughout the whole body. In fact, Lu Xuan’s whole body had been exercised. If compared, Guiding Qi Tactic that only used one meridian in its pathway was completely not worth mentioning.
Other than his realm being raised a lot, he had also achieved the large success stage of the Blinking Sword Skill.
Blinking Sword Skill. Although this was Lu Xuan’s first real martial skill, but because the memories of the Blinking Sword Skill were firmly engraved into Lu Xuan’s mind. Thus, when he practiced it, it was half the effort for the results.
“It’s already been two days since I entered the body refining third level peak, but I still haven’t been able to breakthrough to body refining fourth level. It looks like even if I continue cultivating, I won’t be able to breakthrough in a short amount of time.”
Lu Xuan frowned to himself. The path of cultivation was originally not something that one could only work behind closed doors. There was no way to breakthrough by only blindly and bitterly cultivating. Right now Lu Xuan had encountered a bottleneck.
The reason last time he was able to break through without trouble to reach body refining third level was, one, because the sword crystal had helped Lu Xuan clear away some of the obstacles, and two, because he had entered into the ethereal state. Right now he eagerly wanted to succeed, but he couldn’t.
Thinking of that bit, Lu Xuan decided to not continue bitterly cultivate. He had already been in these woods for a full ten days and it was time to leave.
Going by the fact that his strength was comparable to body refining fourth level, and that he had the Blinking Sword Skill has a killing move, why would he still be afraid of running into Long Yang. Lu Xuan also had a combat strength!
After cleaning up a bit, Lu Xuan embarked on the road to Lin City.
In truth, there wasn’t much to clean up. Originally he had been beaten unconscious by Long Yang and dragged out. He didn’t carry anything on his body, and the bit of money that he had was taken by the Long family servants. Fortunately he had plundered some silver pieces off of that Second Brother’s body, otherwise he would have been penniless.
Other than this, Lu Xuan only had one thing which was a very smooth bamboo stick. That was something he had created a few days earlier to use for his Blinking Sword Skill.
After using it more many days, Lu Xuan felt that it had become very smooth, and had even become reluctant to throw it away, thus he brought it along with him as it didn’t really get in the way.
The journey went by quickly. Having received a large boost to his strength, Lu Xuan felt very carefree. Before even half an hour, he could already see Lin City’s imposing gates.
Having stayed in the woods for ten days and then returning to Lin City, Lu Xuan felt a bit of reminiscent, especially since there had been too many changes in the past ten days.
