Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 563 - 325: Farewell to Qiu Lao, Guidance for Brother Qi_2

Chapter 563: Chapter 325: Farewell to Qiu Lao, Guidance for Brother Qi_2

His clenched fists turned into palms as he slowly exhaled. The surrounding airflow formed gusts of wind that blew across Qi Yuan, carrying away all the impurities from his body.

Over the past ten years, his growth had far exceeded many people’s expectations.

In fact, due to his relationship with Jiang Shu, even if he stopped cultivating, he would still possess countless treasures, fine wines, and beautiful companions within the Dynasty.

Never mind entering a noble family; he could even enter the imperial palace without any hindrance.

But such a life was not what he wanted at all.

Even now, he vividly remembered that night. Jiang Shu, not yet in the Skin Grinding Realm, had blustered in front of him, talking about taking him out of Pingling County to drink the fine wines and enjoy the women of Yongning County.

At that time, it had seemed like a reckless boast, a dream that might never be achieved in a lifetime.

Yet, unexpectedly, in just ten years, he could roam freely in the Da Jing Dynasty.

And Jiang Shu had even become a disciple under a Lord of Vientiane Realm, with the future possibility of directly becoming the Supreme Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect.

What incredible Talent that was!

In the Da Jing Dynasty, all the geniuses knew that the True Martial Sect was the heaven of the Dynasty.

The one who could control heaven—what kind of existence would that be?

If Master Chou hadn’t previously taken Jiang Shu under his wing, and if Jiang Shu weren’t so loyal and righteous, perhaps Master Chou and he would still be in Pingling County.

Even if they had been fortunate enough to leave, they would only have made it to Yongning County.

How could they have ever seen such a vast world as they did now?

"I wonder if Brother Jiang is in the Endless Sea right now."

Qi Yuan murmured, his gaze drifting into the distance.

How could he dare call Jiang Shu "Junior Brother Jiang" now?

After all, once he arrived in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities and advanced to the Detachment Realm, he could join the True Martial Sect.

By then, Jiang Shu would undoubtedly be a True Disciple of the Sect. Addressing him as Brother Jiang wouldn’t be wrong.

"He must have gone. The Human Clan and the Demon Race are at war. If not for Jiang Shu, we master and disciple would still be in the Da Jing Dynasty, which wouldn’t be nearly as safe as it is here," Chou Hai replied with emotion.

Previously, although he had thrived in the Da Jing Dynasty due to his connection with Jiang Shu, his background as a former Hidden Guard meant his perspective and awareness were still too limited.

He had been completely unaware of the consequences of the impending great war.

It wasn’t until they arrived in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities and heard from Xue Xuan and Luo Yu that the war had begun and the Demon Sect was about to appear.

The only true sanctuary, perhaps, lay at the feet of the Eight Great Sects.

And during this period, they had indeed witnessed countless people flooding into the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities.

Among them were many Detachment Realm experts who, in the Dynasty, could have established their own clans. Yet here, they became Protectors for prominent families, just to ensure their own families could stay.

"Focus on your cultivation. Your old master is getting on in years and isn’t much use anymore; I can’t teach you much. Once you reach the Detachment Realm, perhaps the Cang Mang Domain will also be at peace. By then, the Sect, right after the war, will have ample resources but will be in dire need of new blood."

"Your entry then will be perfectly timed. Moreover, with your Brother Jiang as a True Disciple in the Sect to support and assist you, you might genuinely have a chance to become a Primordial Pill Realm True Man in the future, with a lifespan of a thousand years."

Chou Hai said this, a hint of envy flickering in his eyes. In this world, who wouldn’t wish for a long life, as eternal as spring?

"Actually, Brother Jiang has already helped me a great deal to reach this point. Later, when he becomes a True Disciple, he won’t be the only one; the other nine True Disciples will all be competing with him."

I shouldn’t need to trouble him further. As long as I enter the True Martial Sect and bide my time, I should be able to advance to the Furnace Fire Realm. A five-hundred-year lifespan would already be quite remarkable.

Qi Yuan grinned. Just as he was preparing to regulate his breath for a moment before continuing his cultivation, suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through. The air in front of him and Chou Hai wavered, and a familiar figure materialized from it.

"Brother Qi, why are you belittling yourself again?"

"Greetings, Master Chou. You’re looking radiant. Enough talk of life and death. This is a Grand Cycle Pill. Once consumed, it extends life by a full sixty years. Please consider it a token of this disciple’s filial piety."

A jade bottle quietly materialized in Chou Hai’s hand as Jiang Shu’s voice sounded gently.

The Grand Cycle Pill was quite renowned among Spirit Rank Elixirs. What Cultivator wouldn’t desire a longer life? After all, not every Cultivator is a genius capable of ascending to a higher Realm before their lifespan ends.

If one could live an extra sixty years, they certainly would.

Perhaps, within those sixty years, an opportunity for a breakthrough might arise.

Therefore, even for Loose Cultivators in the Furnace Fire Realm, the Grand Cycle Pill was extremely precious. Its appearance at auctions would often cause a frenzy.

But for the current Jiang Shu, refining a Grand Cycle Pill was a trivial matter, taking but an instant. What was valuable wasn’t the Elixir itself, but his sentiment.

"This is too much..."

"Without Master Chou’s guidance back then, my Martial Arts path wouldn’t have been so smooth."

Jiang Shu said with a smile, and he wasn’t just uttering platitudes. He truly had few choices back in Pingling County.

If he had joined any other martial arts schools, with their ordinary Martial Arts, just getting out of Pingling County would have taken him much more time.

Not to mention the various battles he had faced along the way; in the early stages, the Famished Tiger Roar Mountain Strength and the Nameless Three Blades were practically his only means of combat.

Seeing Chou Hai stand up, looking somewhat flustered, Jiang Shu pointed his finger. The Grand Cycle Pill inside the bottle emitted a pure green light and soared into the Void. The intense vitality it released made the surrounding air exceptionally fresh.

SWISH.

Just as Chou Hai was about to say something more, he saw the Grand Cycle Pill before him suddenly shoot into his mouth.

"Master Chou, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and assimilate the Elixir’s power. This Grand Cycle Pill is no small matter. Even someone in the Acupoint Passage Realm cannot fully absorb it, and there’s even a risk of their body exploding from the energy."

"I will use a strand of Primordial Power to guide the Grand Cycle Pill into your body. You just need to continuously circulate your Cultivation Technique, and the Grand Cycle Pill’s medicinal power will integrate into every part of your being."

Not only will it extend your life by sixty years, but it will also allow you to break through directly to the Acupoint Passage Realm.

Jiang Shu had refined several such Grand Cycle Pills this time; he planned to give some to his parents to consume when he returned as well.

Hearing Jiang Shu’s words, Chou Hai quickly sat down cross-legged. A Martial Arts compendium continuously surfaced in his mind.

Back in the Da Jing Dynasty, both he and Qi Yuan had switched to practicing a Martial Arts compendium that led directly through the Six Martial Arts Realms. This was unlike typical Martial Artists in the Dynasty, whose cultivation techniques required them to separately cultivate Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, and Spirit Refinement.

"Master Chou, the Martial Arts compendium you practice is likely from the Da Jing Dynasty, rather ordinary. Since your temperament no longer seeks slaughter, practicing the ’Crane Longevity Fist’ is quite suitable. I shall pass it on to you as well."

Another point of light leaped out. Jiang Shu, seeing that Chou Hai had already entered a meditative state, turned his gaze to the somewhat dazed Qi Yuan.

Upon returning to the Cang Mang Domain, his first action was to return to the Sect and pay his respects to his Master, demonstrating all Ninety-nine Divine Abilities for him.

Later, back at his Cave Mansion, he found the Sound Record Talismans left by Xue Xuan and Luo Yu, informing him that they had brought Chou Hai and Qi Yuan here and settled them in. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Brother Qi, you are different from Master Chou. Your cultivation foundation is already established. Switching to another Martial Arts compendium now would be a waste of time, so I won’t suggest such an unnecessary step. Your priority is to reach the Detachment Realm as quickly as possible."

"This isn’t because of the impending war. Only when you reach the Detachment Realm will you truly understand that your Martial Arts path has just begun."

"Detachment Realm, Furnace Fire Realm, Primordial Pill Realm—for any cultivation resources you lack for these Realms, just ask me. When I had nothing, you were willing to provide me with a meal of exotic beast meat."

"Now, providing you with the cultivation resources for a few Realms is naturally no problem for me."

"As for the competition among True Inheritors..."

Jiang Shu paused. Then, with the same confidence he had exuded back in Pingling County, he spoke, meeting Qi Yuan’s widening gaze:

"I have now cultivated Ninety-nine Divine Abilities. If it’s a matter of being a True Inheritor, I am the Sect’s First True Inheritor."

"Why would I fear competition?"
