Chapter 43 Can she still resist saying no?

Li Xuanfeng was overjoyed.

Over the past half month, with the efforts of the three Daughters of Destiny, he had improved in all aspects.

After becoming stronger even while lying down, he tried to comprehend the legendary Sword Intent out of boredom.

However, his Comprehension Ability was too poor; he hadn't even grasped a hint of Sword Intent in half a month.

The so-called Sword Intent is the Concept of the Sword Dao.

It is a mysterious power that can only be understood, not expressed in words.

Countless Sword Cultivators dreamed of comprehending Sword Intent, but most Sword Cultivators never succeeded from their entry into cultivation until their death.

Once Sword Intent is comprehended, a Sword Cultivator's strength will skyrocket.

Only by comprehending Sword Intent will there be an Opportunity to touch the true Great Dao of the Sword in the future!

A Sword Cultivator initially practices basic sword Moves.

For example, Moves like thrusting, stabbing, drawing, pressing, intercepting, and deflecting.

When these Moves are combined and superimposed in various ways, they create sword techniques with endless variations!

Even a Mortal without cultivation, after practicing sword for ten or even decades, can become a Master of sword techniques.

But that is ultimately just a matter of ordinary skill.

Facing a true Cultivator, they would be directly crushed by absolute power.

When a Master of sword techniques gains cultivation, he can attach his power to the sword and, with Martial Skills, unleash Sword Qi with substantial damage.

The stronger the Cultivator's inherent power, the greater the might of the released Sword Qi!

For example, the current Li Xuanfeng can easily split mountains and cut rivers with a casual sword strike, unleashing massive Sword Qi!

To unleash greater power, besides Breakthrough in Realm, the best method is to comprehend Sword Intent.

Above sword Moves, sword techniques, and Sword Qi, lies Sword Intent!

The strength of a Sword Cultivator who has comprehended Sword Intent and one who hasn't is like heaven and earth!

This time, with Luo Li's return, Li Xuanfeng successfully comprehended the nascent form of Sword Intent, officially coming into contact with Sword Intent!

The nascent form of Sword Intent possesses some of the Concept and power of Sword Intent, but it cannot compare to true Sword Intent.

Whoosh!

The Crimson Firmament Sword was unsheathed.

Li Xuanfeng gripped it, and a mysterious power, invisible and intangible, only barely perceptible by Divine Sense, rippled along the blade.

Without applying any spiritual energy, he gently slashed at the air.

The sword passed, leaving a mark in the Void Realm!

Even Li Xuanfeng's Chaotic Sword Body felt a faint sting when it came close.

"Sword Intent is indeed powerful!"

Li Xuanfeng put away his long sword with satisfaction.

The System also returned thirty sword intent pills to him. This Medicinal Pill is extremely special; alchemists need to infuse a portion of their comprehended Sword Intent into it during the refining process, carefully removing any harmful aspects!

After a Cultivator consumes it, he will have the Opportunity to comprehend the Sword Intent within.

The higher the Comprehension Ability, the more is comprehended.

The sword intent pill is a type of auxiliary Medicinal Pill with extremely high refining difficulty, and only a Prodigy of the Dao of Alchemy with the Pill God Body like Luo Li would have a higher success rate in refining it.

Whoosh!

Li Xuanfeng stepped into the air and flew out of Hundred Sword Mountain.

He did not plan to bring anyone else on this trip to the Purple Moon Secret Realm.

Luo Li and Wei Qingyan both had their own cultivation.

As for his mount, the Divine Swift Black Steed was far from being able to keep up with his current cultivation.

If Li Xuanfeng took a single step, the Divine Swift Black Steed would probably have to chase for a long time.

He could only keep it casually on Xiao Xuan Peak and figure out a way to get a more powerful mount later.

The meeting point Li Xuanfeng and Xu Miaozhen agreed upon was in Shangchuan Commandery of Yunzhou.

It was thousands of kilometers away from Hundred Sword Mountain!

Not long after Li Xuanfeng left Hundred Sword Mountain, Luo Li's figure appeared on Xiao Xuan Peak.

"Where did Junior Brother go?"

Luo Li searched for a long time but couldn't find Li Xuanfeng. Finally, she contacted him through a communication stone and learned that he had already descended the mountain.

This batch of sword intent pills was specially refined by Luo Li for Li Xuanfeng.

She was very interested in her Junior Brother's Comprehension Ability, so she had an idea: to use these sword intent pills to test Li Xuanfeng's Comprehension Ability.

"I'll give them to him when he returns!"

Luo Li could only put this matter aside for now.

"I've been in the Divine Transformation Realm for a long time, and I feel a Breakthrough is imminent recently."

"Refining the sword intent pill also gave me some insights. It seems I should go into seclusion for a few days!"

"I hope to achieve a dual Breakthrough in Realm and Sword Intent!"

Thinking this, Luo Li flew back to her Lingyao Peak… The Great Yan Dynasty has thirty-six states.

Each state governs dozens of commanderies, and each commandery has dozens, or even hundreds, of cities!

Among them, Wu An City is a large city under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, located within Shangchuan Commandery.

This city is situated north of the Purple Moon Mountain Range.

Although it is not the capital of Shangchuan Commandery, its population still numbers in the millions.

Wu An City has been much livelier than usual these past two days. Many Cultivators, having heard the news, are aware that the Purple Moon Secret Realm is about to open.

Many foreign Cultivators had been arriving in succession for several days, even ten days, prior.

The sudden influx of a large number of outsiders inevitably led to some chaos.

Several private fights had already occurred in the past few days.

However, with the city guard maintaining order, the city lord presiding, and the deterrence of the Great Yan Dynasty's laws, no major conflicts arose.

Wu An Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Wu An City.

Xu Miaozhen, dressed in white, with a high ponytail, and a heroic expression, stood on the top floor, gazing into the distance.

Half a month ago, she sent Li Xuanfeng the intelligence that the Purple Moon Secret Realm was about to open as a reward.

And invited him to come.

Half a month later, looking at the many Cultivators pouring into Wu An City, this news seemed somewhat less valuable.

However, what was important was not the news, but the quota to enter the Secret Realm!

To enter the Purple Moon Secret Realm, a special token was required.

Xu Miaozhen had, by chance, obtained such a token, which allowed her to bring Li Xuanfeng with her.

"He's here!"

After an unknown period of gazing, Xu Miaozhen finally saw Li Xuanfeng's figure.

She leaped gracefully, landing lightly on the street, and actively went to meet Li Xuanfeng.

"Brother Li, this little sister has been waiting for a long time!"

Xu Miaozhen smiled and cupped her fists.

"Sister Miaozhen!"

Li Xuanfeng returned a smile.

Since she called herself 'little sister,' Li Xuanfeng could also naturally call her 'sister.'

"I've already booked a room. Let's go up, order a good pot of wine, and then talk slowly in detail!"

Xu Miaozhen smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Good, please!"

Li Xuanfeng smiled, then walked to the restaurant with Xu Miaozhen.

Soon after.

The table was laden with good food and wine. Xu Miaozhen casually set up an Isolation Formation, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Ding! Xu Miaozhen sets up an Isolation Formation, gaining one point of experience, returned tenfold. You gain partial experience and completely Master the method of setting up an Isolation Formation!"

The System's notification sounded.

Xu Miaozhen had set up an Isolation Formation before, and Li Xuanfeng had received a return, only barely mastering this Formation.

This time, with another return, he completely mastered it.

Although an Isolation Formation is a simple Formation, it is very practical. It can not only block sound but also Divine Sense.

It is an essential Formation for gossiping behind backs and plotting major affairs!

"Brother Li should know that if there's news of a Secret Realm opening somewhere, it's impossible to keep it under wraps, let alone a Secret Realm that has opened before."

"For a Formation like the one in Snake Fang Mountain Range earlier, it was only because Baishi House did a good job of keeping it secret, and everyone who knew was refined into blood food."

"Otherwise, even a slight leak of information would attract many curious Cultivators to investigate."

Xu Miaozhen filled Li Xuanfeng's wine cup.

"The Purple Moon Secret Realm was originally just an ordinary Secret Realm, but after it opened decades ago, someone discovered a strange item within that could enhance Comprehension Ability!"

"This strange item is called the Bodhi Enlightenment Spring, rumored to be the best nourishment for watering Bodhi trees."

"However, this item is locked by the core Formation within the Purple Moon Secret Realm and cannot be forcibly breached. Under the guidance of the Grand Formation, it flows to various parts of the Secret Realm, nourishing Spirit Medicine!"

"The Bodhi Enlightenment Spring contains a wondrous power that can cause certain Spirit Medicines to mutate, giving rise to Heaven And Earth Treasure that can enhance Comprehension Ability!"

Xu Miaozhen toasted Li Xuanfeng with a cup of wine, then began to explain the Purple Moon Secret Realm to him.

Li Xuanfeng listened silently.

Whether it was Heaven And Earth Treasure that improved innate talent or Comprehension Ability, they were all exceptionally precious and could cause many Cultivators to risk their lives to compete for them.

Especially those Cultivators whose innate talent, Comprehension Ability, and potential were limited, making them unable to Breakthrough further.

To improve their innate talent and Comprehension Ability, they would bravely face death and make extremely crazy Moves!

Therefore, even without a token, many desperadoes must have been attracted here, lurking in the shadows, waiting for an Opportunity.

"This trip to the Secret Realm will inevitably be a mix of good and bad, with great risks. If Brother Li is unwilling to take the risk, it's still not too late to cut your losses now."

Xu Miaozhen looked at Li Xuanfeng.

"Since I've already come, why would I have thoughts of retreating?"

"Besides, I'm also very interested in the Heaven And Earth Treasure that can enhance Comprehension Ability."

Li Xuanfeng said with a faint smile.

He had the System, and by observing the color of his destiny, he could avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

There was no danger for him on this trip to the Secret Realm; danger could only befall others.

Even if a strong opponent he couldn't defeat appeared, he still had a Jade Slip in his hand that could summon his beautiful Master!

Moreover, Li Xuanfeng genuinely wanted to improve his Comprehension Ability.

His Blazing Sun Golden Eyes could help him find Heaven And Earth Treasure that could enhance Comprehension Ability.

What he needed to consider now was how to gain Comprehension Ability from Xu Miaozhen!

From Xu Miaozhen's expression, Li Xuanfeng could see that she was very confident about this trip to the Secret Realm, so it seemed she also had some means of finding treasures.

"I must get the treasures before her!"

"By then, if all the treasures that enhance Comprehension Ability are in my hands, and I find an excuse to give them to her, can she still bear to say no?"

Li Xuanfeng thought silently to himself.
