Chapter 5 Divine Sword Finger, Preparing for Foundation Establishment

Chapter 5 Divine Sword Finger, Preparing for Foundation Establishment

Han Jue was extremely nervous.

He tried hard to act pleasantly surprised, guarding against Xing Hongxuan making a move at any time.

Xing Hongxuan suddenly walked up, grabbed his hand tightly, and smiled excitedly, "As expected of you, you really are my lucky charm!"

"As long as you are happy."

[Xing Hongxuan's Favorability toward you has increased, you can become Dao Companions, Favorability is 3 stars]

This line of words appeared before Han Jue, and he smiled bitterly.

However, Xing Hongxuan did not see through it. She bypassed Han Jue, picked up the alchemy manual, and began to browse through it.

She seemed to be looking for something.

Han Jue waited anxiously.

Should he make a move?

If Xing Hongxuan was allowed to take the alchemy manual away, he wouldn't get the sword technique.

Xing Hongxuan seemed to be injured, and her aura was very unstable.

Catch her off guard?

Make her retreat in the face of difficulties.

Just as Han Jue was hesitating, a cold wind swept in from the main door.

Caught off guard, Han Jue was sent flying by the impact, smashed against the wall, and bounced down to the floor.

It didn't hurt much.

It was just a bit scary.

Han Jue looked closely, Elder Tie!

His neck tilted sideways, his right foot trembled, and he pretended to faint.

"Put down my alchemy manual!"

Elder Tie said in a deep voice, his tone icy.

Xing Hongxuan said coldly, "To think you actually returned!"

Elder Tie expressionlessly said, "I came back long ago, but I've just been waiting for you to show up. As soon as I came back earlier, I saw the two of you. For so many years, other Disciples wouldn't take on my tasks, but the two of you did. There must be something fishy going on."

After saying that, Elder Tie suddenly made a move, striking Xing Hongxuan with a palm.

A talisman paper was pasted in the center of his palm.

Xing Hongxuan instinctively jumped away. Lightning burst from Elder Tie's palm, turning into a net of electricity to entangle Xing Hongxuan.

Elder Tie followed up with a kick, sending Xing Hongxuan flying.

Almost instantly, Elder Tie snatched back the alchemy manual.

Xing Hongxuan landed on the ground, her whole body convulsing.

Elder Tie pressed on with the attack, and Xing Hongxuan fled in a hurry.

The two quickly rushed out.

Han Jue, lying on the ground, hesitated whether to get up.

No!

If he got up, he wouldn't be able to wash away the blame.

Han Jue had also thought about escaping.

But it was too dangerous, and he didn't even know where to escape to.

He waited patiently.

A full hour passed, and Han Jue couldn't help scratching his butt.

He suddenly sensed an aura approaching the pavilion.

Elder Tie!

Han Jue didn't dare to move.

Elder Tie walked into the pavilion.

Seeing Han Jue, he couldn't help frowning.

Han Jue suddenly started coughing.

Elder Tie walked over to a chair on the side and sat down, staring quietly at Han Jue.

Han Jue displayed the most outstanding and realistic acting skills of his past and present lives.

He climbed up, clutching his head.

Looking around dazedly, the moment he saw Elder Tie, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Elder Tie! You've finally returned!"

Han Jue shrank his neck and looked around nervously.

He asked cautiously, "Where did that fiendess go?"

Elder Tie looked at him expressionlessly.

Han Jue quickly stood up, facing Elder Tie with his head lowered, putting on an apprehensive look.

Han Jue was gambling!

Gambling that Elder Tie had not discovered the communication between Xing Hongxuan and him.

If it was discovered, then Han Jue would just have to fight it out.

"What did she say to you?" Elder Tie inquired.

Han Jue didn't dare to conceal anything and answered truthfully.

"Hmph, she wants to nurture you to become her husband, what a joke."

Elder Tie was amused to the point of anger, feeling that this brat was daydreaming.

He carefully sized up Han Jue.

Eh.

Come to think of it.

This kid really had become handsome. Just looking at his appearance and gaze, he was not inferior to those Inner Sect Disciples at all.

The change was too huge!

Could it be…

Elder Tie reached out, grabbed Han Jue's right wrist, and pondered carefully.

Han Jue was very nervous, ready to make a move at any time.

"This kid has no Spiritual Root and no cultivation. Could it be that I was overthinking?"

Elder Tie thought silently. Seeing Han Jue's panicky and fearful appearance, he couldn't help thinking of Han Jue's parents, and his mood instantly became irritable.

He snapped unhappily, "Get lost back to sleep!"

Han Jue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted.

He quickly left the pavilion.

Elder Tie then began to tidy up the room.

Returning to his room, Han Jue quietly got into bed.

[Due to you not helping Xing Hongxuan steal the alchemy manual, you have successfully obtained the sword technique—Divine Sword Finger]

Han Jue felt wonderful inside; he finally had a means of self-preservation!

He immediately chose the Legacy.

A wave of memories flooded into his mind.

Divine Sword Finger was not considered a martial art, but a Spell, using the fingers as swords and transforming spiritual power into Sword Qi.

Han Jue possessed supreme sword Dao Comprehension Ability, and learned this Spell that very night.

However, he did not expose it and still maintained a low profile.

The next day.

After getting up, Han Jue heard other servants say that Zhang Ge was dead.

It was said that he died extremely miserably, bleeding from all seven orifices.

The male Cultivator guarding the entrance of the Herb Garden also left early in the morning. It seemed a major event happened last night.

Han Jue couldn't help mourning for Zhang Ge silently.

[Xing Hongxuan's Favorability toward you has increased, you can become Dao Companions, current Favorability is 3.5 stars]

Han Jue was stunned.

How did the Favorability increase again?

Inexplicable!

However, for a short period of time, Xing Hongxuan shouldn't dare to appear again, and Han Jue could Cultivate in peace once more.

Half a month later.

Elder Tie left the Herb Garden again.

In the past ten years, the frequency of him going out had become higher and higher.

Han Jue heard Old Man Wang say that Elder Tie's lifespan seemed to be coming to an end, and he was searching for medicinal herbs to increase his lifespan.

Not everyone was like Han Jue, who could easily make continuous Breakthroughs.

Elder Tie's cultivation was stuck at the Qi Refining Realm Seventh Layer and could no longer increase.

This was the difference in Aptitude.

Elder Tie was a typical Mortal cultivating immortality, wanting to defy the heavens and change his fate.

Han Jue prayed in his heart, hoping that this old man would die on the road.

The reason he was so vicious was because he noticed that Elder Tie still had a 1-star hatred degree toward him.

A potential enemy!

In the blink of an eye.

Two years passed.

Twenty-year-old Han Jue cultivated all four Spiritual Roots to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.

He only needed to Cultivate the Thunder and Fire Spiritual Roots to the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer as well, and he could begin preparing for the Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But no Thunder Spiritual Qi or Fire Spiritual Qi could be captured around the Herb Garden.

Han Jue understood that it was time for him to leave.

That very night, he quietly left.

Han Jue still had one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones that he hadn't taken out yet; these would be his confidence for walking the cultivation world.

Along the way, Han Jue walked while using his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings.

He prepared to go directly to pay respects to the Jade Purity Sect and become a Jade Purity Sect Disciple.

The Jade Purity Sect shouldn't reject a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer.

Early the next morning.

Han Jue finally found the mountain gate of the Jade Purity Sect.

The Jade Purity Sect was located in a valley among the mountains, filled with immortal mist. Two huge stone statues stood at the mountain gate, resembling Qilins.

"Halt, show your sect token."

A Jade Purity Sect Disciple raised the sword in his hand and said.

A total of four Disciples guarded the valley entrance of the Jade Purity Sect, all with a cultivation of the Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer.

Han Jue turned off his concealment function, cupped his hands and said, "I am Han Jue, a Loose Cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer, wanting to join the Jade Purity Sect. I wonder if there is a way?"

Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer!

The attitude of the four Disciples changed instantly.

The sword-wielding Disciple said something to a Disciple beside him, and that Disciple quickly left.

"Wait here a moment, I have sent someone to notify the Outer Sect Deacon," the sword-wielding Disciple said.

Han Jue expressed his thanks.

Within the Jade Purity Sect, besides Elder Tie, no other Cultivator knew his name. Elder Tie had not yet returned and most likely died outside, so Han Jue wasn't worried about exposing his identity.

Anyway, he had never done anything harmful to the Jade Purity Sect, so his conscience was clear.
