462: Chapter 462 Forging Completed!

In comparison, the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture was much better.

He himself possessed the Blood Demon Talent, and his body contained one-thousandth of the Blood Dao Profundity as well as countless Darkness Profundities.

Comprehending this Cultivation Technique would be quite a bit faster.

Of course, practicing a Cultivation Technique did not grant Skill Points.

Therefore, Qin Yan's main daily tasks were practicing Spear Techniques and Martial Skills, then using the acquired Skill Points to increase the progress of his Cultivation Technique.

This was the most efficient way to Cultivate.

“Xiao Xi, let's stop the practice here for today.”

“Brother has some things to tell you.”

His tone became serious.

Qin Xiaoxi was slightly taken aback, then she obediently nodded her head.

“Brother, go ahead.”

Qin Yan took his sister to the nearby rest area to sit down, and then he began to explain things in detail.

Today was September 14th.

Tomorrow, he would be returning to Modu.

Once he left, he didn't know when he would be able to return again.

Although he promised his sister he would return in four years, four years was neither long nor short.

Before leaving, some things had to be clearly explained.

Next, Qin Yan gave Qin Xiaoxi some Medicinal Pills and instructed his sister on several matters.

From things to watch out for in cultivation to whom to ask for help when facing difficulties, from connections in the Martial Arts Association to their parents' health—he advised her on every detail, one by one.

Qin Xiaoxi listened intently and memorized everything seriously.

She knew her brother was worried about her and the family. She couldn't let him worry.

...

September 15th.

The high-speed rail station.

People were coming and going, all in a hurry.

Qin Yan stood before the station entrance, facing his parents and sister who had come to see him off.

“Dad, Mom, Xiao Xi, you can stop here,” Qin Yan said.

His mother Chen Juan's eyes turned slightly red, and tears faintly shimmered in them.

She forced herself not to let the tears fall, but her voice trembled slightly:

“Xiao Yan, stay safe.”

A thousand words ultimately condensed into these six simple words.

His father Qin Shouzheng was silent as usual.

He stepped forward and patted Qin Yan's shoulder heavily, saying nothing.

But those repeated pats were enough to convey everything he wanted to say.

Qin Xiaoxi stood to the side, her eyes full of reluctance to let go.

She bit her lip, trying hard not to cry.

But she knew she couldn't hold her brother back.

Her brother had his own path to walk and a broader world to explore.

She could only stand here and silently offer her blessings.

“Xiao Xi, while I'm away, I'm leaving Mom and Dad to you.”

“Also, don't fall behind in your martial arts cultivation.

I'll be doing a proper inspection when I get back.”

Qin Xiaoxi nodded vigorously, her voice somewhat choked:

“Brother, don't worry. I will definitely Cultivate well and wait for your return!”

Qin Yan smiled and reached out to ruffle his sister's hair.

Then, he turned around and didn't look back again.

He was afraid that if he looked back, he wouldn't want to leave.

The train slowly started, and the scenery outside the window receded rapidly.

Qin Yan looked out the window, speechless for a long time.

Leaving for four years, he didn't know what his hometown would look like when he returned, whether his parents would have more white hair, or if his little sister would have grown taller.

But this was his path.

The path of martial arts was inherently a path of constant partings and long journeys.

He could only move forward.

...

Modu.

The high-speed train slowly pulled in, the doors opened, and Qin Yan stepped off with the crowd.

A familiar city, familiar air, and familiar bustle.

He took a deep breath and walked toward Modu University of Martial Arts.

Along the way, his thoughts drifted far away.

Up until now, Senior Sister hadn't sent him a message.

Perhaps this meant his natal spirit weapon wasn't finished yet.

He wasn't in a hurry about this.

With an Grandmaster of Artifact Refining taking action and using a divine material like creation divine iron, it was normal for it to take more time.

He only needed to wait patiently.

After returning to his room, Qin Yan didn't rest but immediately began his training.

He wanted to utilize every single minute and second.

...

September 16th.

The early morning sunlight spilled in through the window.

Qin Yan had just finished his morning exercise when his communicator vibrated.

He opened it to see a message from Senior Sister.

【Senior Sister: Junior Brother, come to the Lu Residence.】

Brief and direct.

Qin Yan's heart rate quickened slightly.

It seemed his natal spirit weapon was finished.

He didn't set off immediately but first opened his panel to check the results of the past two days.

【Body Tempering: Fourth Rank Peak (Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture Second Layer 25%)】

After these two days of training, the progress of the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture finally reached 25%.

This meant he already met the conditions for a Breakthrough to the Fifth Rank Meridian Opening Realm.

“A pity I don't have enough blood qi right now; otherwise, my Body Tempering could break through to the Fifth Rank Meridian Opening Realm.”

Qin Yan shook his head with some regret.

“I guess I'll have to wait for later.”

He did a quick cleanup, changed into clean clothes, and then left his residence.

He headed toward the Lu Residence.

...

Lu Residence.

The main gates were wide open, and the vermilion gateposts gleamed with a warm luster under the sun.

Lu Youyou was currently standing at the entrance, her light blue dress swaying gently in the wind.

Her jet-black hair was draped over her shoulders, with a few strands playfully brushing against her cheeks.

She stood slightly on her tiptoes, her large eyes glancing toward the distant street from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

Many guards nearby noticed this and were secretly amazed.

Lu Youyou was the little princess of the Lu Family, the apple of the eye of an Grandmaster of Artifact Refining; usually, it was difficult for many people to even see her once.

Yet she was personally standing at the entrance waiting for someone?

Just what kind of big shot was worthy of the Young Miss's such high regard?

The guards looked at each other, their hearts filled with curiosity.

However, they didn't have to wait long before they saw a smile bloom on Lu Youyou's face.

That smile was bright and radiant, like the warm spring sun, instantly lighting up the entire manor gate.

The guards followed her gaze.

They saw a young man walking slowly from the distant street.

The young man's aura was plain, showing no signs of prominence.

His face was gentle, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth that made people feel a sense of closeness upon seeing him.

His clothes were also very ordinary, without any flashy decorations; his whole person exuded an unadorned temperament.

But if one looked a few more times, they would discover some unusual things.

Though his steps were casual, they carried an indescribable rhythm.

Though his gaze was gentle, the occasional flash of sharpness made one dare not look at him directly.

Though his build seemed slight, his movements carried a faint, almost imperceptible pressure.

That pressure was extremely light, so light it was almost undetectable, yet it truly existed, making people feel an involuntary sense of awe.

This young man was a powerful expert.

This thought flashed through the guards' minds simultaneously.

“Senior Sister, I didn't keep you waiting long, did I?”

Qin Yan came before Lu Youyou and spoke.

There was some traffic on the way, so he arrived a bit late.

(That's all for today's update. Tomorrow there will be more, at least four chapters, at most...)
