Chapter 7: Aftermath

Qin Tianji felt a slight stir in his heart

After such a long time, there is finally some good news

A senior swordsman, even if he establishes a sect and builds a force, is no longer an insignificant gang or organization, but rather a third-rate sect recognized by our Great Xia Dynasty. Young master, how did you manage to kill such a seventh-level swordsman?

It was clearly unexpected that such a formidable individual would come to assassinate Qin Tianji, only to be countered and killed by the combined efforts of Qin Tianji and Qin Yuyan.

What if the Xuanling Sect sends someone to assassinate you again, Young Master?

However ... ...

Sun Yang is a member of the Xuanling Sect, and he actually dared to infiltrate our Yunlai Sword Sect to seek an opportunity to commit murder. This is simply a complete disregard for our Yunlai Sword Sect. Shouldn't we seek justice from the Xuanling Sect?

By the way, Young Master Shao, this is the trophy from Sun Yang.

Jiang Caiyin nodded with some concern

Xuanling Sect

The elixir in this box ... ...

"Yes, less master."

Accept the jade box, Qin Tianji turned to Jiang Caiyin and Gu Cheng, and instructed

The solitary city nodded in response, its tone filled with gravity

Xisui Dan

As Gu Cheng spoke these words, he discreetly assessed Qin Tianji with a glance

Qi Lingyun is indeed an eighth-level swordsman. If he could refine this type of elixir and have him consume it, the time it would take for him to advance to a ninth-level swordsman would undoubtedly be significantly shortened. Moreover, if any disciples of the Yunlai Sword Sect were to advance to high-level swordsmen with sufficient supply of Qi Condensing Pills, their cultivation would surely make remarkable progress.

I am fine; I just meditated for half an hour.

Xuanling

Qin Tianji muttered to himself in a cold tone

After collecting medicinal herbs from the Sun Never Sets Mountain Range, Qi Lingyun attempted to refine the Washing Marrow Pill

It did not come as a surprise to Qin Tianji.

This time, however, is absolutely intolerable for Qin Tianji

Before taking the Xisui Dan, he was speculating whether it could help repair nerve damage in one fell swoop. Now, it has finally lived up to his expectations

Qin Tianji's eyes brightened slightly

Very well! I have finally recovered. This body was once the foremost expert among the younger generation of the Yunlai Sword Sect, having reached the eighth level of swordsman at the age of fifteen, which demonstrates exceptional talent. Now that the nerve damage has been repaired and I possess the experience of re-cultivation, it won't take long before I can reach the eighth level of swordsman again

Congealing Qi Pill

Indeed, the Washing Marrow Pill, as the name suggests, possesses the ability to cleanse the marrow according to the principles of the I Ching. It can significantly enhance an individual's physical constitution and eliminate toxins from the body. For ordinary disciples of any sect, this pill is a highly sought-after treasure. Although the Washing Marrow Pill is not classified among the spiritual pills, it is still considered a high-grade pill of the seventh rank. Even for a senior swordsman, obtaining the Washing Marrow Pill is not an easy task. Among the thirty-six sects in Wanxia County, the Wanding Sect is a pill refining sect; however, it lacks the capability to refine the Washing Marrow Pill due to the extremely low success rate in its production. This particular Washing Marrow Pill is most likely a treasure acquired from outside Wanxia County.

Indeed

I kindly ask everyone to keep this matter a secret and treat it as if nothing has happened

In a moment of contemplation, Qin Tianji once again spoke: "Simulate the physical data of the Level 7 swordsman Sun Yang."

This is the Qi Condensation Pill, a medicinal pill for refining true qi. Through the alchemical methods, the spiritual energy contained in heavenly materials and earthly treasures is refined into a pill, allowing individuals to absorb it, which can accelerate the cultivation of true qi. The grade of the Qi Condensation Pill is comparable to that of the Bone Washing Pill, and its rarity is slightly inferior to that of the Bone Washing Pill. Nevertheless, it is still a treasure that various major sects compete fiercely to obtain. It is said that in those super large cities, merchants do not accept gold or silver, but only Qi Condensation Pills and other medicinal pills. To some extent, they can be considered hard currency. For high-level swordsmen like Sun Yang, even in the second-tier peak sect, the Xuanling Sect, being allocated ten Qi Condensation Pills in a year is considered quite good.

This result caused Qin Tianji to feel a slight heaviness in his heart

The prescription has been recorded

Jiang Caiyin said, casting a somewhat regretful glance at the box: "It's a pity that there are only three. If there were a few more, our Yunlai Sword Sect could study them and see if there is hope of refining them."

Take advantage of the moment when one is unprepared

The formulas for Xisui Dan and Ningqi Dan

The solitary city inquired in a hushed tone

Opening the jade box, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted towards him, and even with just a single whiff, Qin Tianji felt a significant enhancement in his physical condition

This matter should be temporarily set aside for now; everything will be discussed again after the sect ranking competition.

Under the precise control of the ninth-level spiritual practitioner Qin Tianji and with the assistance of Soul Chip No. 2, the damaged nervous system was recovering at a visibly rapid pace. By the time dawn broke, all these injuries had completely healed.

At this moment, one of the only six intermediate swordsmen in the Sword Sect, Gu Cheng, walked over from one side. He glanced at Jiang Caiyin and then at Qin Tianji, and said in a low voice: "Young Sect Master, the identity of this assassin has been identified. He is Sun Yang, the favored disciple of Elder Zhou Chong from the Xuanling Sect, known as the Ghost Shadow Assassin."

Upon the utterance of this sentence, all present fell into silence

It takes twelve years to reach the seventh level of swordsman training

At that time, he assassinated an eighth-level swordsman

Everything will be addressed once Qi Lingyun's injuries are healed and the situation at the Yunlai Sword Sect is stabilized

At last, there is no longer any danger to life, but... with such injuries, even with the various medicines available to us from Yunlai and the Sword Sect of Books, it is likely to take at least a month to recover

Qin Tianji's cold expression softened slightly

Soon, the numerous components of the Washing Marrow Pill clearly emerged before Qin Tianji, precise and unerring

Ultimately, the Yunlai Sword Sect is too weak

If a Level 4 swordsman and a Level 5 swordsman join forces, it is still possible to defeat a Level 6 swordsman. However, when facing a Level 7 swordsman, not only would a Level 4 swordsman and a Level 6 swordsman struggle, but even if five or six Level 6 swordsmen were to attack together, they could still be completely annihilated by this Level 7 swordsman

Young Master, regarding this matter, how do you propose we handle it

Before a better explanation could be provided, Jiang Caiyin had no choice but to accept it

How long will it take to reach a body strength of 2.1 based on my current training volume?

Ding! Body scan completed! Status update! Host: Qin Tianji, Age: 19, Mental Strength: 1, Physical Strength: 1.3, True Qi Strength: 0! Cultivation Level: Swordsman Level 5, Cultivation Technique: Yunhai Chaosheng Jue

He already has two more prescriptions in his hands

Sun Yang clearly did not expect that, with his advanced swordsman cultivation, he would fail to kill a third-level junior from the Yunlai Sword Sect, which is at most a sixth-level swordsman. He had not properly stored his belongings in advance; everything was on him. In Gu City, he not only had three hundred-tael silver notes but also two jade boxes that were clearly of extraordinary quality.

After resolving the matters here, Qin Tianji has returned to his own courtyard bedroom

Number 2, check my physical condition and update my physical data

Significantly enhance physical fitness, eliminate toxins from the body

Repair

Jiang Caiyin was somewhat surprised when she saw the elixir in the box

Data estimation in progress! The estimated result requires a total of 4321 days, with an accuracy of 94.87%

Neural repair has taken effect, and I had originally reached the peak of a Level 4 swordsman. With this, I effortlessly broke through to Level 5 swordsman, without any difficulty.

Jiang Caiyin spoke, glancing at Qin Tianji. In her expression, the previous disdain had vanished, replaced instead by a hint of surprise

Qin Tianji muttered to himself

I believe that the Xuanling Sect predicted that Sun Yang would encounter trouble, and it would happen no sooner than half a month later. Who can guarantee what will happen in half a month? Furthermore, with the sect competition approaching, if the Xuanling Sect truly intends to deal with our Yunlai Sword Sect, it should be after the sect competition.

Oh?

This matter should not be made public

From the expressions and tones of the two individuals, it is evident that by killing Sun Yang, he has somewhat restored the prestige of the Young Master that he had previously lost

"Yes, Young Master."

Jiang Caiyin exclaimed softly, unable to restrain her curiosity.

Although the data shows only an increase of 0.3 in physical strength, I can clearly feel that my current physical condition is more than twice as strong compared to before

No. 2, analyze the medicinal components of the Xisui Dan and cross-verify them with the herbal ingredients recorded in the formula.

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Qin Tianji's eyes

This ... ...

Twelve years

Young Master, this is the Cleansing Essence Pill. It is surprising that Sun Yang possesses such a valuable item, no wonder it is stored in a box made of green sandalwood to prevent the loss of its potency

At this time, for an ordinary swordsman, it is undoubtedly considered fast, after all, he is only nineteen years old. In twelve years, he will only be thirty-one. A thirty-one-year-old advanced swordsman in the Wanxia County area can certainly be regarded as outstanding.

Qin Tianji glanced at her and slightly shook his head: "The Xuanling Sect has a total of eight great swordsmen, and it is subtly regarded as the number one sect in Wansha County. Among them, the Supreme Elder Beiyue has already reached the pinnacle of great swordsman cultivation and could advance to sword master at any time, becoming a top expert in the Daxia Dynasty. Given the influence of our Yunlai Sword Sect, rashly seeking justice from the Xuanling Sect would not only be meaningless, but we might also be accused of using Sun Yang's death as an excuse for them to annex our Yunlai Sword Sect."

Although my meridians have been severed over the years, I have not squandered my youth. Instead, I have cultivated some unique techniques, which allowed me to strike him down when he was unprepared. Had he been on guard, a single encounter could have resulted in my demise at his sword.

Strength

"Young Master, this elixir is your trophy; you may keep it. Although taking it may not completely heal the meridian injuries you have sustained, it will certainly provide some relief. Moreover, it can significantly enhance your personal potential. I believe that after taking it, it won't be long before you reach the pinnacle of Level 4 Swordsman."

Qin Tianji nodded and did not refuse

Upon hearing the prompt sound, without hesitation, Qin Tianji had already swallowed the cleansing marrow pill.

Drip! Unknown energy detected, cell division rate increased... Currently, it is possible to attempt to repair the damaged nervous system, with a success rate of 81.32%. Would you like to proceed with the repair...

Young Master Shao, do not worry. Sister Yuyan is such a good person; she will definitely be fine. On the contrary, you look quite unwell and should go back to rest for a while

Feeling the more powerful energy within his body, as well as the sense of strength emanating from his cells, bones, and every limb, Qin Tianji immediately issued an order

Drip! Elixir, Washing Marrow Pill, analyzing...

This Sun Yang, as early as three years ago, had attained the cultivation of a high-level swordsman, excelling in stealth and assassination. In those years, he assassinated a master of level 8 swordsman, gaining considerable fame in our Wanxia County.

Jiang Caiyin was somewhat perplexed.

Sister Jiang

The two responded in unison, and after seeing that there was nothing amiss, they each departed.

Outside the courtyard, Qin Tianji's gaze met Jiang Caiyin, who had just emerged from the room

If it were not for his insufficient strength, why would the Xuanling Sect bully the Yunlai Sword Sect? Qin Yuyan would not have suffered such severe injuries

It is essential to possess sufficient strength
