When Qin Chu first came here, he had Level 3 Sword Intent. After his Breakthrough, he improved rapidly, reaching Level 5 Sword Intent. No Sword Cultivator had Cultivated Sword Intent faster than Qin Chu.
Qin Chu looked at Heavenly Sword Mountain, then stepped in. He passed through the Level 3 Sword Intent Stele area, the Level 4 Sword Intent Stele area, and then entered the Level 6 Sword Intent area.
This situation greatly shocked the Sword Cultivators who were Cultivating Sword Intent. Qin Chu was not even twenty years old, yet he already possessed Level 6 Sword Intent. This was terrifying! How many Sword Cultivators spent their entire lives unable to even touch Sword Intent? Even if they did, achieving success in Cultivation was extremely difficult. Yet now, Qin Chu had Cultivated Level 6 Sword Intent.
Upon entering the Level 6 Sword Intent area, Qin Chu found himself alone, as there were too few Sword Cultivators who could Cultivate to Level 6 Sword Intent.
Reaching a place with pressure, Qin Chu sat down cross-legged, took out and consumed a top-grade Heavenly Origin Medicinal Pill, and then began to Cultivate. He was Cultivating Origin Qi and Sword Intent simultaneously.
After Cultivating for a day, Qin Chu had a thought. He then released his Battle Intent, allowing the Sword Intent of Heavenly Sword Mountain to help temper and refine it, perfecting any deficiencies.
As Qin Chu entered Heavenly Sword Mountain, Lang Lang took the Medicinal Pills to the Alchemist Guild. He met Elder Chu and expressed his desire to sell the Medicinal Pills, explaining that they were Qin Chu's Medicinal Pills. He wanted to understand the rules of the Alchemist Guild.
"Just follow the price he used in Saint Martial City. Later, I'll set up a stall for you in a corner of the main hall, but we still need to inform the Guild Master first," Chu Shan said to Lang Lang. The Alchemist Guild in Heavenly Sword City was aware of the situation in Saint Martial City and knew about Qin Chu's Medicinal Pill sales.
Yuan Qi did not object to this matter. He believed it was a good thing that could bring some development to Heavenly Sword City.
Lang Lang sold a limited number of Medicinal Pills each day, closing his stall once they were sold out. This made the Alchemist Guild very lively every day.
Qin Chu, in a state of Cultivation, had no concept of time. When he felt no more pressure, he would move forward a little. When he felt the Medicinal Pill's effects wear off, he would take another Medicinal Pill. He had plenty of top-grade Heavenly Origin Medicinal Pills.
When he felt a bit mentally exhausted, Qin Chu stopped his Cultivation. Based on the number of Grain-Avoiding Medicinal Pills he had consumed, he had been in Heavenly Sword Mountain for over a month.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Chu got up and left the area of Sword Intent impact, departing Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Entering Heavenly Sword City, Qin Chu went to the tavern where he used to drink with Su Mu. He ordered two plates of braised meat and a jar of aged wine. After enjoying his meal, he bought some more before returning to Yunlai Inn.
Upon entering Yunlai Inn, Qin Chu went to the small courtyard he and Lang Lang rented. Inside the courtyard, Lang Lang was chatting with a woman!
"Qin Chu is back! Come, let me introduce you, this is my brother, Qin Chu," Lang Lang greeted upon seeing Qin Chu enter.
The woman looked at Qin Chu, then nodded slightly.
"You two carry on, I'll go rent another small courtyard," Qin Chu nodded to Lang Lang, put down the food and wine he was carrying, and then exited the courtyard, though he cursed 'dog and bitch' in his heart.
In the evening, Lang Lang arrived at Qin Chu's newly rented small courtyard.
"Brother Lang, you're too flirtatious," Qin Chu said, giving Lang Lang a disdainful look.
"Brother! Life is very monotonous; when it's time to be romantic, you have to be romantic," Lang Lang said with a smile.
Qin Chu shook his head helplessly, "How long has it been, and you've already hooked up."
"Am I not helping you sell Medicinal Pills? Top-grade Medicinal Pills are very sought after, so some people naturally have a few ideas. I don't mind, you know!" Lang Lang said with a smile.
Qin Chu looked at Lang Lang with contempt. He was using Medicinal Pills as a temptation to trick women, but that woman also knew in her heart that she was there for the Medicinal Pills; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Lang Lang stayed by his side while Qin Chu began Alchemy. The Medicinal Pills he had left for Lang Lang would only last a month.
While Qin Chu was performing Alchemy and talking with Lang Lang, the woman arrived.
Lang Lang glanced at Qin Chu, then got up and led the woman out of Qin Chu's courtyard. He knew very well that Qin Chu wouldn't mind him and the woman having something, but it wasn't appropriate for the woman to linger in front of Qin Chu.
For the next two days, Qin Chu spent each day refining Medicinal Pills, which he then handed over to Lang Lang.
"Brother Lang, when you sell Medicinal Pills, also acquire some Materials. If we only consume Materials without any coming in, we won't be able to sustain it," Qin Chu said to Lang Lang.
After preparing the Medicinal Pills for Lang Lang, Qin Chu began to relax. During the day, he walked around Heavenly Sword City, and at night, he meditated and Cultivated.
Effort paid off. Qin Chu's Cultivation improved rapidly. He was not far from the Level 4 Heavenly Origin Realm. Qin Chu felt that he could Breakthrough after Cultivating for a while longer.
Every day when he went out to relax, in the restaurants and teahouses, Qin Chu heard news about the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. The territory ruled by the Vermilion Bird Holy Land had returned to normal operation, while in the White Tiger Holy Land and Fiery Thunder Holy Land regions, there were constant reports of various forces parting ways with the two sides.
The White Tiger Holy Land and Fiery Thunder Holy Land were not in a good situation. Some forces did not want to be caught in the crossfire. They worried about when the Vermilion Bird Holy Land would attack.
The people of the Black Tortoise Holy Land no longer moved about openly, because if the people of the Azure Dragon Holy Land saw them, they would attack.
After resting enough, Qin Chu left some Medicinal Pills for Lang Lang and then entered Heavenly Sword Mountain again.
Not long after Qin Chu entered Heavenly Sword Mountain, big news emerged on the Saint Martial Continent. The White Tiger Holy Land led its forces to attack Saint Martial City. Although they were repelled, the commotion created was huge, as there were battles involving Level 7 Cultivators, and not just one.
Saint Martial City Lord Ling Wu made a move, repelling a white-robed man. Additionally, Shangshu Tianye also took action, blocking a berserk Blade Cultivator. Both the white-robed man and the berserk Blade Cultivator were Level 7 powerhouses.
This situation caused some panic. Afterwards, Saint Martial City issued a notice stating that the White Tiger Holy Land had colluded with foreign races to subvert the stability of the Saint Martial Continent.
The forces of the Saint Martial City Lord's Mansion, Demon Castle, and Alchemist Guild attacked the White Tiger Holy Land, but found it empty. The White Tiger Holy Land was already deserted.
Subsequently, Demon Castle, the Alchemist Guild, and the Saint Martial City Lord's Mansion declared the White Tiger Holy Land to be traitors to the Saint Martial Continent.
On this day, a woman arrived at the Vermilion Bird Holy Land headquarters in Saint Martial City, looking for Qin Chu. She was Qian Lingwu.
Unable to find Qin Chu, Qian Lingwu inquired about his whereabouts and then headed to Heavenly Sword City.
At this time, Qin Chu, inside Heavenly Sword Mountain, had reached the edge of the Level 6 Sword Intent area, very close to the Level 7 Sword Intent area. This indicated that his Sword Intent was already approaching the Peak of Level 6 Sword Intent, not far from Level 7 Sword Intent. His Cultivation had also reached the Peak of Level 3, Level 5 Heavenly Origin Realm.
After another half a month of Cultivation, Qin Chu's aura changed. His Battle Intent erupted. Under the suppression of Heavenly Sword Mountain's Sword Intent, Qin Chu's Battle Intent had a Breakthrough, becoming Level 5 Battle Intent.
