37: Three-legged golden crow?

When the sun was high in the sky, Li Luo leisurely walked out of his room.

“Hah!”

A sharp cry came, and under a large locust tree in the main hall plaza of Haoran Sect, Ji Yue'er was practicing her sword.

Her posture was graceful yet contained a hidden sharpness.

Looking at her with his Qi Observation Technique, although the Xiao Hu was practicing her sword, Immortal Spirit Qi was swirling around her delicate body.

It was cleansing Ji Yue'er's Physical Body.

“As expected of the Immortal Spirit Dao Body, even without Cultivating, the speed at which she absorbs Spiritual Qi is comparable to some Geniuses and Prodigies.”

“But she’s still so diligent.”

“How are others supposed to live?”

Li Luo was speechless.

Compared to Ji Yue'er, was he, her Revered Master, a bit too much of a slacker?

“Revered Master?!”

Seeing that clear, handsome figure, the Xiao Hu quickly ran over.

Perhaps it was from practicing her sword just now, or perhaps from seeing Li Luo, her small face was flushed and delicate, as if it could break with a touch.

As she got closer, even though a layer of sweat had seeped from the Xiao Hu’s body, she still smelled fragrant.

“Revered Master, you must be hungry. Please wash up quickly, the meal has been ready for a while.”

Li Luo nodded. His Disciple was too filial.

“Oh, there’s meat too?”

As an animal lover who couldn't go without meat, Li Luo’s appetite was immediately whetted when he saw the tender, stewed meat on the table.

“Yes, yes, reporting to Revered Master, this is a first-order Vicious Beast of the wild boar type. Junior Brother killed it casually this morning while practicing his sword,” Ji Yue'er said.

Then, she fluttered her bright, watery eyes, looking at Li Luo with a hint of nervousness.

She wondered if her Revered Master would like the braised meat she made.

Naturally, Li Luo saw the Xiao Hu’s anticipation.

Li Luo picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

“Mm, it’s chewy and springy, leaving a fragrant aftertaste. Not bad, very good,” Li Luo nodded.

Hearing Li Luo’s praise, a joyful expression appeared on Ji Yue'er’s small face, and she almost cheered.

“My mother used to say before she passed away that to capture a man’s heart, you must capture his stomach,” Ji Yue'er thought, looking at her Revered Master eating ravenously.

A sweet smile bloomed on her small face.

“Mm, have you and Junior Brother eaten?”

“Mm-hm. We’ve eaten.”

It made sense; look at the time.

Anyway, his meal was a combination of breakfast and lunch.

“Where’s your Junior Brother?”

Full and satisfied, patting his stomach, Li Luo couldn't be more content.

“Revered Master, Junior Brother is in a gully outside the Sect, saying he’s comprehending the Sword Intent within it,” Ji Yue'er said, exasperated.

Her cold Junior Brother was truly a sword fanatic.

He must have been lying in that gully all morning.

“Oh, by the way, Revered Master, did you cut that gully with a single sword strike?” Ji Yue'er asked.

“Mm, last night, a few ignorant fellows wanted to destroy my Haoran Sect, so I dealt with them casually,” Li Luo nodded.

Hearing this, Ji Yue'er said with some indignation, “Hmph, Yue'er slept too soundly, otherwise, I would have definitely helped Revered Master relieve your worries.”

“No matter, for now, you only need to Cultivate well.”

“Four Innate Peak Cultivators and one Grandmaster first-level. You are not their opponent yet,” Li Luo said calmly.

Feeling the faint Body Tempering fifth-level Qi flowing from Li Luo, Ji Yue'er was somewhat speechless.

How strong was Revered Master exactly?

He was too good at hiding his strength!

“Alright, call your Junior Brother in. Don’t comprehend that anymore; I will personally engrave Sword Intent for you to Cultivate.”

“Also, Yue'er, your Junior Brother possesses the Aotian Sword Body, making him a sword Dao Prodigy.”

“And your strength lies in being a favored child of the Heavenly Dao, with incredibly fast Cultivation speed,” Li Luo said.

“Yes, thank you for your guidance, Revered Master,” Ji Yue'er nodded.

Previously, seeing Sword Dust’s astonishing talent in the Dao of the sword, she had been a bit anxious.

After all, she didn’t want to disappoint her Revered Master, and of course, she didn’t want to lose her Senior Sister’s dignity.

But now that she thought about it, she had indeed been overthinking it.

Li Luo smiled.

This Xiao Hu was intelligent and understood things with just a hint.

Soon, Li Luo carved two sword marks on a blank stone tablet.

One condensed the Sword Intent of Great River Swordplay.

The other condensed the Sword Intent of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

The black-clothed youth, Sword Dust, sat cross-legged beneath the stone tablet, completely engrossed in comprehending Li Luo’s Sword Intent.

The Dao of the sword Qi around him also grew increasingly powerful and domineering.

【Ding, congratulations, Little Master! Disciple Ji Yue'er has broken through to the Innate second-level Realm. Reward: Martial Skill: Flower-Piercing Butterfly Hands (Earth-Grade).】

“Flower-Piercing Butterfly Hands?”

Li Luo chuckled and shook his head. It sounded a bit effeminate.

He couldn't learn it; he would pass it on to Yue'er Baby later.

Moreover, that Xiao Hu had clearly taken Li Luo’s words to heart, swallowing and refining the Medicinal Pills she had obtained from Zhao Zhijing earlier.

She broke through directly.

He found a quiet room in Haoran Sect.

Li Luo carved three large, powerful characters on the door frame: Alchemy Pavilion.

Boom.

Flames surged. Li Luo opened his Pill Furnace, which he had bought from Jubao Tower, and began Alchemy with the collected and purchased medicinal ingredients.

The Qinghe Grand Competition was less than half a month away.

He needed to quickly improve Yue'er and Sword Dust’s strength further.

He was not familiar with the strength of the Sect Disciples in the Qinghe Region at the moment.

However, there was nothing wrong with getting stronger by spending money!

Would they be willing to invest so much in Geniuses?

Moreover, the Medicinal Pills Li Luo refined were, at the very least, of fine quality, with supreme or even transcendent grades being common.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

As bottles of second-grade and third-grade Medicinal Pills were successfully refined, Li Luo felt his mastery of Alchemy become even more effortless.

Indeed, time was the only criterion for testing truth.

Talking about it on paper was ultimately lacking.

【Ding, congratulations, Little Master! Within a ten-mile radius, the Qi of the Divine Beast Three-legged Golden Crow has been detected.】

Just as Li Luo was experiencing Alchemy, the System’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Ding, congratulations, Little Master! Disciple Sword Dust’s Sword Intent has broken through to 40%, comprehending Slaughter Sword Intent. Reward: Sword Control Technique.】

Just as Li Luo was still a bit bewildered by the Three-legged Golden Crow, the System’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind again.

Sword Control Technique?

“Learn Sword Control Technique.”

Boom.

Suddenly, a technique composed of sharp Sword Intent appeared in Li Luo’s mind.

“Sword Control Technique: Divided into two directions: Aerial Flight and Controlling a Sword to Kill Enemies!”

Whoosh.

In just a few breaths, Li Luo exhaled a turbid breath, having fully learned and mastered the Sword Control Technique to the Perfection level.

After all, jokes aside, don't mess with the Ten Thousand Paths Divine Sword Body.

Max-level Comprehension Ability wasn't just for show.

“Whoosh.”

The next moment, a streak of light flew out from Haoran Sect, shooting straight into the sky.

“Is that… Revered Master?”

Ji Yue'er and Sword Dust were both stunned for a moment, then showed extreme envy.

“Haha, I can fly!”

Standing on a Flying Sword, Li Luo appeared to have his hands behind his back, looking like an immortal, but inwardly, he was roaring wildly.

Transmigrating from Blue Star, this was the first time he had experienced the feeling of soaring through the heavens and earth.

Cultivators could only fly in the air after reaching the Fish Leap Realm, the next major Realm after the Grandmaster Realm.

But Li Luo could do it at the Grandmaster Realm.

Awesome.

“Is that… the Three-legged Golden Crow?”

Li Luo’s eyesight was excellent now; from afar, he saw a Little Black Chicken being chased and pecked by many small yellow chicks in a flock of chickens.

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
