I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 102: The Arrival of the Grandmaster

Su Lingxiu had grasped the essence of the Alchemy Physician's Manual, and she had also comprehended the cultivation method, only lacking the entry-level practice.

Li Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, as the Alchemy Physician's Martial Dao was now stable.

"I didn't misjudge her. This little girl has good talent."

Feeling happy, he prepared to give Shi Er some guidance.

However, he discovered that Shi Er was not in the courtyard.

He glanced at the small courtyard. This was the Xu family's residence in Cloud Mountain County, not particularly large in size.

"The disciples are all cultivating outside the city. If there is any major disturbance, it would easily disturb the neighbors. If this little girl Su Lingxiu starts refining pills, will there be a situation where the furnace explodes?"

"Or will there be a big commotion?"

"Therefore, we should move to live outside the city."

Li Xuan pondered in his heart.

Living in the county town was convenient for buying and selling things, but he mostly satisfied his own desires occasionally. He didn't have many needs.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong spent most of their time cultivating outside the city.

Even if they needed to buy something, Shi Er was in charge, and it wouldn't tire him out too much.

"Shi Er is almost a Martial Artist. It won't take long for him to go back and forth, so let's just move outside the city."

Li Xuan made up his mind and coincidentally, Shi Er returned. He asked him to find Xu Yan.

"Master, what instructions do you have for me?"

Xu Yan respectfully asked.

"This residence is too small. You all need to cultivate, so it's not suitable to stay in the county town. In the future, when your junior sister starts refining pills, there might be some commotion. Go outside the city and find a place to build a manor."

Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan thought it made sense.

Second Junior Brother hadn't come back for several days because of cultivation and taking care of his sword.

"Shi Er, go find some people to help build the manor."

Xu Yan turned around and called Shi Er.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Shi Er nodded.

"A simple manor will do."

Li Xuan added.

"Yes, Master."

Xu Yan agreed.

Selecting a location and constructing the new residence would take some time, but it was just a simple construction, so it wouldn't take too long.

In the following days, Su Lingxiu continued to improve the Alchemy Physician's Manual while also starting her cultivation.

First, she focused on Skin Refining!

She was originally a Seventh Grade Martial Artist, so the process of Skin Refining went smoothly, and the progress was quite fast.

Li Xuan paid attention to the changes in his three disciples. As the Skin Refining progressed, this girl's skin became fairer and more delicate, like beautiful jade, giving a feeling of invulnerability.

"It's strange. How can this girl's Skin Refining speed be so fast?"

Li Xuan was puzzled.

"Could it be related to her being a Seventh Grade Martial Artist?"

The Inner Domain Martial Dao was different from his Martial Dao. It was relatively easier for someone like Su Lingxiu with a lower realm to switch to the Martial Dao, as long as they sensed the qi and blood.

For someone like Zhou Ying, who was already at the Fourth Grade, their foundation in the Martial Dao was basically solidified, so it would be much more difficult to switch, and even whether they could sense the qi and blood was a question.

Su Lingxiu's Skin Refining speed was surprisingly fast, which was beyond Li Xuan's expectations.

Of course, the faster his disciples cultivated, the happier he was.

Three days later, the manor outside the city was completed.

Li Xuan directly moved to the manor outside the city. Shi Er naturally took care of moving the books and other things to the new residence.

After Su Lingxiu arrived at the new manor, she was excited and started planting flowers in the simple and spacious courtyard.

After a few days, there were more flowers in the courtyard.

Su Lingxiu was practicing in the courtyard, not far from achieving Skin Refining.

Meng Chong also returned and sat on the roof, continuing to cultivate his knife skills.

"What's going on with this little disciple? She's cultivating so fast, she has already started Bone Refining."

Li Xuan was amazed.

Su Lingxiu had actually started Bone Refining, and the speed of her Bone Refining was also very fast.

"Could it be that the Martial Dao cultivation method of the alchemist is very suitable for her talent, so she can cultivate so quickly?"

Li Xuan pondered.

"Shi Er, tell Kou Ruozhi, order the Heavenly Woman Sect to find these medicinal materials for me."

On this day, Su Lingxiu handed a list of medicinal materials to Shi Er.

"Okay."

Shi Er took the list and glanced at it. They were all precious medicinal herbs, as well as tiger bones, deer antlers, and other tonics.

The foundation of the Heavenly Woman Sect was still strong, and it spread throughout the Qi Country and Wu Country. The precious medicinal herbs that Su Lingxiu needed were quickly delivered in the first batch.

When the medicinal materials arrived, Su Lingxiu was troubled.

She had not yet entered the Martial Dao and couldn't refine pills with her qi and blood, and she hadn't found a pill furnace yet.

"Where did Zhou Yi go? It's been so long, even if she hasn't found a pill furnace, she should have come back."

Su Lingxiu frowned.

She wasn't worried about Zhou Yi's safety. After all, she was a Fourth Grade expert. In this desolate land, apart from her master and her senior brothers, no one was Zhou Yi's opponent.

"Unable to use qi and blood as the pill fire, I have to rely on external objects."

Su Lingxiu pondered. Charcoal and the like wouldn't work.

"I remember that the Heavenly Woman Sect has a kind of divine fire stone. When ignited, the flame is vigorous and almost smokeless, making it easier to control the temperature of the flame. It should be suitable for pill refining."

So, Su Lingxiu instructed Shi Er to bring a bag of divine fire stones.

Shi Er was a bit hesitant and said, "Heavenly Woman, there are not many divine fire stones in the Heavenly Woman Sect. They are difficult to mine, and they are stored in the ancestral altar of the Heavenly Woman Sect, which is not easy to obtain."

Su Lingxiu raised an eyebrow and picked up an iron shovel nearby, angrily saying, "I am the Heavenly Woman. Since the divine fire stones are used for the sacrifice of the Heavenly Woman, if I want to use them, bring them to me. Whoever dares to oppose, I will bury them!"

Shi Er helplessly said, "Heavenly Woman, this requires the protection law and the military adviser to obtain. I don't have the authority yet, and not many people know where the ancestral altar is located."

"Then send a message to Kou Ruozhi and ask him to bring the divine fire stones to me, or I will bury him!"

Su Lingxiu said angrily.

"I will pass on the message to the military adviser, but he..."

Shi Er nodded, but before she finished speaking, Su Lingxiu sneered and said, "If Kou Ruozhi and the others don't want to be buried by me, they should bring the divine fire stones to me. It's unreasonable. When I agreed to be the Heavenly Woman, it was agreed that everything belongs to me. Dare to go back on your word and try it!"

Shi Er thought for a moment. Unless Kou Ruozhi and the others really didn't want to live, they wouldn't offend the Heavenly Woman for the sake of divine fire stones.

Don't be fooled by the Heavenly Woman's young age. She was not soft-hearted when it came to burying people.

The divine fire stones were delivered a few days later.

Li Xuan was curious about what these divine fire stones were and why they had such a grand name.

He picked one up and looked at it. It was black and shiny, a bit like coal.

However, there were some differences from coal. It seemed to be some kind of sediment.

When one divine fire stone was ignited, a pale red flame burned, smokeless and odorless, and it burned for quite a long time.

"Master, do you think this is suitable for pill refining?"

Su Lingxiu looked at him excitedly.

"It's alright."

Li Xuan nodded. This divine fire stone was indeed a good fuel for pill refining.

Now, they only lacked a pill furnace.

"Shi Er, tell Kou Ruozhi to mine more divine fire stones. The Heavenly Woman has a great use for them, and there will be rewards for doing well."

Su Lingxiu ordered.

"I have already informed the military advisor, and he said he will try his best to find a way to extract more."

Shi Er nodded.

The Divine Fire Stone is something that the Heavenly Woman Sect controls, and it can only be extracted from a certain place.

Even Qi Country and Wu Country don't have it.

"Why hasn't Zhou Yi returned yet?"

Su Lingxiu couldn't wait to try alchemy, but without an alchemy furnace, she could only wait.

"Something seems off. How can her cultivation speed be so fast? She has already tempered her Iron Bones and now she's starting to temper her Copper Bones?"

Li Xuan looked at Su Lingxiu who was cultivating and wondered to himself.

Her cultivation speed is a bit too fast.

"This girl's talent is so monstrous?"

"That's right, she escaped to the border wilderness when she was only eleven or twelve years old, right?"

"At that time, she was already a Seventh Grade Martial Artist, her talent was indeed outstanding, and her proficiency in alchemy martial dao is even more in line with her talent, so it's reasonable for her cultivation to be fast."

Li Xuan thought to himself.

"With this cultivation speed, she will be able to enter the Martial Dao in less than half a year, and the Evergreen Bones will also be successfully tempered."

"My Jade Bones + Diamond Glass Bones + Evergreen Bones, what kind of spirit bones will they transform into?"

He was currently an Innate Spirit Bone, and with the Dragon Soaring Mountains and Rivers Spirit Body, if he obtained the Evergreen Bones, what kind of spirit bones would he transform into?

Li Xuan was filled with anticipation.

Zhou Ying finally returned.

She brought back an alchemy furnace for Su Lingxiu, and it was forged from the materials of a forging treasure weapon.

Su Lingxiu was overjoyed.

"Zhou Yi, where did you find someone to forge this alchemy furnace?"

Zhou Ying looked at Su Lingxiu affectionately and said, "Miss, I went to the inner domain and found a person from the Demon Sect to forge it. After it was forged, I took care of it."

Su Lingxiu was taken aback and looked at Zhou Ying, her eyes slightly red.

"Zhou Yi, you didn't have to take such a risk. What if someone finds out..."

Zhou Ying shook her head and said, "Miss, I know. This alchemy furnace is very important to you, and I disguised myself and went to the inner domain specifically to find that person from the Demon Sect. I kept an eye on him during the forging process and took care of everything. It won't be discovered."

She hadn't become so heartless as to kill the person who forged the alchemy furnace like other martial artists who forged treasure weapons.

And she couldn't reveal her whereabouts, so she had to find someone from the Demon Sect.

That martial artist from the Demon Sect would deserve to die even if he was killed, and she could take care of it without revealing her whereabouts.

Su Lingxiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Excitedly, she said, "Zhou Yi, when I refine the pill, you can also cultivate. When the time comes, we'll go back and bury those guys!"

"Alright, I'll dig the pit in advance!"

Zhou Ying rubbed Su Lingxiu's head.

At this moment, Li Xuan sighed. Trouble had come.

He looked up at the sky, and a figure instantly appeared above the estate, coldly looking down at Su Lingxiu and Zhou Ying below.

The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes visible.

"Grandmaster!"

Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

The trouble behind his third disciple, this girl, was not simple. The Grandmaster had personally come to pursue her.

Although Zhou Ying had disguised herself, with her burly figure, someone with a keen eye could still recognize her.

However, Su Lingxiu was his disciple now, and she had already comprehended the alchemy martial dao. He had also obtained the alchemy scripture. Anyone who dared to harm his third disciple would be obstructing his martial dao career.

Anyone who obstructed his martial dao career was his enemy!

He would kill them!

What could a Grandmaster do?

Su Lingxiu held the alchemy furnace, excited and jumping around, preparing to open the furnace and refine the pill. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Xu Yan's house exploded and flew into the air.

"Who are you?"

Xu Yan flew up and looked at the black-robed person.

He had an extremely solemn expression and felt a strong sense of crisis from the black-robed person.

Meng Chong also stood up from the rooftop.

Su Lingxiu looked up and her face turned pale.

"How is this possible?"

Zhou Ying was shocked and pale.

"Grandmaster Martial Artist?"

The black-robed person looked at Xu Yan, his voice hoarse and filled with doubt.

"Are you protecting that girl? If not, then get lost. I am only here for that girl."

Boom!

The aura of a grandmaster instantly erupted.

The powerful pressure, like the might of heaven and earth, covered the entire estate.

Shi Er almost knelt down.

It was too terrifying!

Zhou Ying stood in front of Su Lingxiu, her body trembling, gritting her teeth and regretfully saying, "Miss, it's my fault. I shouldn't have taken the risk to go to the inner domain!"

"Zhou Aunt, it's not your fault!"

Su Lingxiu gritted her teeth and glanced at her master, who was still calm and relaxed sitting on the chair.

She felt a little bit safer in her heart.

"Master, are you going to ignore this?"

She was a bit uncertain, after all, she hadn't officially become his disciple yet, so she couldn't fully consider herself his disciple.

"Grandmaster?"

Xu Yan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, showing no fear. He coldly smiled and said, "Whoever you are, today you won't be able to take anyone away!"

Boom!

A golden dragon coiled around him, exuding a dragon's might.

With a clang, a sword was unsheathed.

The Sword Intent of mountains and rivers, like a gentle breeze, permeated the estate.

The black-robed person's eyes narrowed, cold light flickering as he said in a cold voice, "What technique is this? Why is it so special?"

He felt a unique power, one that he had never heard of before, very powerful and strange.

Moreover, the person in front of him, being so young and already a grandmaster-level Martial Artist, was a monstrous talent.

"If this person is truly a grandmaster, I'm afraid I won't be his match!"

The black-robed person thought to himself.

"This person must not be allowed to live!"

He must be killed!

Otherwise, even if he managed to capture Su Lingxiu, with the talent of the other party, he would inevitably grow up to become a powerful grandmaster. At that time, how could he be his opponent?

Boom!

At this moment, the might of a grandmaster erupted, the aura as if disturbing the heavens and earth.

"This is the border wasteland, unable to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so I can't fully exert my strength. However, dealing with a mere grandmaster is easy!"

The black-robed person raised his hand, and a power like a gust of wind appeared from his palm.

"Kid, even if you are a monstrous talent, you are just a grandmaster. I, as a grandmaster, am ten times stronger than you. Since you seek death, I will grant your wish!"

Boom!

With a palm strike, a terrifying palm print appeared in mid-air, covering Xu Yan within it.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow. The strength of a grandmaster was actually ten times that of a grandmaster Martial Artist?

In that case, it was almost impossible for a grandmaster Martial Artist to fight against a grandmaster.

However, although he was only at the Innate Realm perfection, he was a hundred times stronger than someone at the same level. He could easily defeat a grandmaster and had no problem dealing with a grandmaster.

With this in mind, he calmly sat on the chair.

Xu Yan's strength was not comparable to an ordinary grandmaster Martial Artist. The black-robed person's palm strike could easily crush a normal grandmaster Martial Artist. It was wishful thinking to try to kill Xu Yan!

He didn't make a move now, just to let Xu Yan know that the Martial Dao in the inner domain was not useless. His strength was still too weak, and he shouldn't be arrogant and conceited.

So as not to suffer a loss when he went to the inner domain.
