The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 430 371: A Voice That Shakes the Mountain Gate

After the spirit pill entered his stomach, Xu Ziqing's body began to heat up more and more.

His whole body was like a boiled shrimp.

But on the surface of his skin, a faint golden halo would occasionally flow.

More bizarrely, it seemed as if Xu Ziqing's breathing was about to stop.

He would only take a breath every one or two minutes.

Chu Huaixu watched from the side and noticed that not long after, Xiaoxu's energy began to rise.

The effect of this spirit pill was very significant.

It was obvious that its efficacy was not just to help him enter the Fourth Realm so simply.

Perhaps, the gains will be very great!

About half a stick of incense later, the flesh on Xu Ziqing's body began to show bulges.

The extreme nature of a body cultivator's breakthrough once again began to manifest.

Spiritual power hammered his body from the inside out, rendering his body unrecognizable.

Xu Ziqing gritted his teeth and persevered, forcing himself into meditation, continuing to absorb the medicinal power of the spirit pill.

Chu Huaixu looked at Xiaoxu, who was in pain, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart.

"We both cultivate the Refining Sword Formulas, but Xiaoxu's pain tolerance threshold seems lower than mine?"

Although the Dao Scripture also has a similar effect, it only enhances this aspect incidentally.

Chu Huaixu's extraordinary ability in this regard largely benefits from the Refining Sword Formulas.

He suspected that in terms of pain tolerance, Xiaoxu might only have half of his level, maybe even less than half.

"Is it because of the Heart Sword?" That was the only reason he could think of.

Because previously, except for this point, he seemed to have no significant differences with Xiaoxu.

Everyone started as garbage pseudo spiritual embryos, big brother need not mock the second brother.

Jiang Zhi saw that Chu Huaixu kept observing Xu Ziqing and thought he was concerned about his junior brother's growth.

Arrogant as Jiang Zhi was, how could he miss this opportunity to showcase himself in front of his grandson?

He immediately placed his hands behind his back and spoke:

"With his ability to absorb medicinal power, the spirit pill I gave him won't just simply assist him into the Fourth Realm."

"Under normal circumstances, he can at least enter the Second Heaven of the Fourth Realm."

"If he's lucky, breaking through to the Third Heaven in one go is also possible."

After speaking, Jiang Zhi waited for the praise and thanks from his grandson.

Clearly, the words before setting off, "The master ancestor is truly domineering," indeed made him feel good.

Unexpectedly, the dead fox replied with a serious face:

"Why is the master ancestor favoring one over another!?"

After finishing, he stared hard at the little old man in white.

Jiang Zhi looked at him dumbfounded and was instead amused by this boy.

"What, do you also want this kind of spirit pill?"

Chu Huaixu immediately replied: "Naturally, who would complain about having too many spirit pills?"

Jiang Zhi chuckled, unconcerned, and said:

"Giving you one is no big deal."

"However, you may not know the characteristics of this pill."

"Please enlighten me, master ancestor," responded Chu Huaixu immediately.

Jiang Zhi looked at the boy and said:

"This pill I obtained during a journey, it is rarely recorded even in pill formulas."

"You have learned alchemy with Tai Tingbai for some time, but I assume you may not have heard of it."

"This pill is called the Stealing Reversal Pill, have you heard of it?"

Clearly, the little old man intended to show off.

Chu Huaixu frowned slightly, recalled for a moment, then shook his head.

"The disciple has never heard of it."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it; the first time I saw this pill, I also found it quite magical," Jiang Zhi said.

"According to the alchemist, the inspiration for the pill formula was a modification of a certain pill created by the Dao Ancestor."

"But the oddity of this pill lies in that it can only be taken before the Fifth Realm and can only be taken once; it can only be effective once. Besides, the higher the grade of the spiritual embryo, the worse the effect of this pill!"

"The lower the grade of the spiritual embryo, the better the effect!"

When Jiang Zhi said these two sentences, he first glanced at Han Shuangjiang, then at Xu Ziqing.

The grades of their spiritual embryos were indeed worlds apart.

"If Shuangjiang were to take this pill, the effect would be minimal."

After speaking, he looked at Chu Huaixu again.

"As for you..."

"Perhaps there might be some effect," he said.

In fact, even the high levels of the Daoist Sect didn't know that this boy had already reached an upper-grade spiritual embryo.

It's hard to imagine what kind of enormous fortune it would take to elevate all the way from a pseudo spiritual embryo to an upper-grade spiritual embryo.

Chu Huaixu didn't mind; anything that could be taken for free was naturally a good thing.

He immediately happily said, "Thank you, master ancestor, for the spirit pill!"

Jiang Zhi had no choice but to toss a pill to the shameless lad.

Chu Huaixu immediately sat down cross-legged and took the pill.

Immediately, a system notification sounded in his ear.

"Ding! Converted to 2 million experience points for you."

Counting these two million points plus the remaining experience points in the character panel, he thought for a moment and simply leveled up again.

Jiang Zhi, watching from the side, also clicked his tongue in wonder.

He never could understand Chu Huaixu!

As a well-informed and experienced giant in the cultivation world, he always felt this young man was "beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements"!

He felt that this young man was not part of the same cultivation system as us, completely beyond understanding.

After the character level was raised to Level 48, Chu Huaixu was equivalent to surpassing three small realms ahead of the Big Ice Cube.

This made the young girl with the natural rolled dog attribute feel quite pressured.

"Isn't it said that the fastest cultivation in the world is the Pure Yang Body and the Profound Yin Body?"

"Is my Profound Yin Body... fake?" the girl thought.

....

....

Along the way, Xu Ziqing was mostly meditating to digest the medicinal power.

Just as Jiang Zhi said, he gained a lot and was already attacking the Third Heaven of the Fourth Realm.

When the demon beast was about to fly to the gate of Spring and Autumn Mountain, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of stale air.

Breaking through to the Third Heaven of the Fourth Realm in one go was indeed an extremely torturous process for Xiaoxu.

He was purely driven by the hatred in his heart to endure it.

When he opened his eyes, his pupils were full of blood.

But the youth always knew his manners, and immediately stood up to thank Jiang Zhi.

The little old man just nodded slightly, his eyes showing satisfaction.

His gaze turned forward, saying, "There is roughly one incense stick of time before we can fly to the gate of Spring and Autumn Mountain."

"What are your plans?"

This question stumped Xu Ziqing.

His mind was filled only with thoughts of revenge! Revenge! Revenge!

But he wasn't exactly sure how to proceed.

After all, his opponent was at Spring and Autumn Mountain, one of the Four Great Sects, and his senior brother had legitimate business to attend to on this trip.

With one wrong move, it could become a big problem.

Not only would it ruin his senior brother's plans, but it might also provoke enmity between the two sects.

Xiaoxu was always accustomed to thinking of others first.

Now this silly boy was caught off guard by the question.

Sitting on the flying demon beast, Chu Huaixu, with arms folded around his sword scabbard, gently nudged Xu Ziqing with his shoulder, saying:

"He's asking you!"

Xu Ziqing turned his head in astonishment towards his senior brother, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Then, he looked to Jiang Zhi for help.

You are the elder, you should make a decision.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Zhi said, "If I come forward directly on this matter, it may not be appropriate."

Chu Huaixu heard this and casually said, "Then how about... I handle it?"

Jiang Zhi glanced at the East Continent Order hanging on Chu Huaixu's waist and said nothing, which was tacit consent.

Only Han Shuangjiang stood aside, feeling the urge to facepalm.

Knowing Chu Huaixu, letting him handle it would definitely lead to some unexpected chaos!

The flying demon beast soon arrived at the gate of Spring and Autumn Mountain.

Upon seeing the visitors, it was the current mountain master of Spring and Autumn Mountain, Yuwen Huai, and the [Cicada Chasing Man] Pei Songji who personally went out to greet them.

These two extraordinary identities and powerful cultivators greeted with smiles as they flew over.

"Who would have thought it was Brother Jiang and Young Friend Chu personally coming, my apologies for not welcoming you from afar!" declared Yuwen Huai, the master of Spring and Autumn Mountain.

Chu Huaixu looked at the visitor, a short middle-aged man with a goatee.

In the past, when he played "Borrowed Sword," he had joined Spring and Autumn Mountain, but was just an ordinary inner sect disciple.

Seeing a big figure like the mountain master was rare for him.

Let alone being greeted in person as he was now.

After exchanging courtesies, Yuwen Huai asked about the purpose of their visit.

"We came here actually for two matters."

After Jiang Zhi briefly explained the first matter, the other party's face immediately showed a serious expression.

As everyone knew, the Junzi Temple disciples of Zhong Ming's generation probably encountered some unforeseen situation in the Fifth Floor of the Origin Spirit Realm.

The secrets within had yet to be unraveled by anyone.

It probably wasn't that simple.

"And what is the second matter?"

Jiang Zhi glanced back at Chu Huaixu standing behind him.

The dead fox immediately stepped forward and paid his respects.

Han Shuangjiang was all too familiar with such a scene.

To put it nicely, it was courtesy before deploying strength; to put it bluntly, he just liked to use respectful tones and postures to do highly disrespectful things!

"Master Yuwen, the junior has long admired your reputation."

"Young Friend Chu, there's no need for such compliments, it's I who have long admired your reputation." He smiled and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Might I ask, Master, if someone at Spring and Autumn Mountain is found to be an evil cultivator, how should they be dealt with?"

Yuwen Huai immediately responded, "Indeed, due to the cultivation techniques, many of our disciples at Spring and Autumn Mountain have some peculiar hobbies. However, as one of the Four Great Sects of East Continent, we pride ourselves on being a righteous sect."

"If a member is indeed found to be an evil cultivator, they must be eradicated!" Yuwen Huai stated with dignified righteousness.

In fact, although the world joked that Spring and Autumn Mountain was infamous for producing perverts, at its core, it was indeed a noble and righteous sect.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu exhaled a long breath and said with a laugh, "In that case, I am entirely relieved."

Just as his voice fell, Yuwen Huai was about to respond when Chu Huaixu suddenly operated his spiritual power. His voice, like rolling thunder, spread across the entire Spring and Autumn Mountain area, shaking the mountain gates.

"Weichi Huaide! You slaughtered the entire Xu Family, come out and die!!!"
