Chapter 151: Heavy Sword

  "For the master, he once obtained an ancient alchemy formula that recorded a method for refining the Bi Hai Chao Sheng Dan. This kind of elixir can actually allow ordinary people to open up their Qi Sea and become cultivators of martial arts."

  Nan Ruo said with a sigh, "The medicinal materials recorded above can now be found, but due to the ancient prescription being incomplete and damaged, it lacks the final part of the refining technique. Master is trying to complete it, and currently has some ideas."

  Zhang Shan couldn't help but feel overjoyed, previously he had secretly criticized his master for studying those ancient residual methods as being unorthodox, never expecting that his mother's cultivation hopes would land on this.

  "It's still your credit, the elixirs you gave me in the Mausoleum of the Desert King last time, after studying them, I found that the alchemy techniques used are slightly different from now, and I got inspiration." Nan Ruo continued to say.

  "So it seems that she was obsessed with alchemy and had squandered the family's wealth, so I sent all those elixirs over, but didn't expect to get this kind of return."

  Zhang Shan thought to himself, sighing that indeed good deeds are rewarded.

  He hesitated and asked: "Is Master sure he can refine it successfully?"

  "In short, let's do our best as teachers. If you perform exceptionally well in the martial arts debate at Zhufeng, who knows, I might get excited and inspiration will strike, then I'll find a way."

  Nan Ruo Li looked at Zhang Shan and smiled lightly.

  "Master, you can't expect me to be like that, I'll do my best, after all. Since it's a competition among the elite disciples of the eight major sects, I don't dare to make any promises either."

  Zhang Shan said with a bitter face and a depressed tone.

  "Alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. The truth is that one of the main herbs is hard to find, and your first senior uncle happens to have it, but he's not willing to give it out easily. If you achieve good results, I'll also have the face to ask him for it, so you can only work harder."

  Nan Ruo Li let out a helpless sigh and explained with a resigned expression.

  Zhang Shan saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Then I'll just have to go all out. But what counts as outstanding achievement and would make the First Seat Shibo happy? It can't be winning first prize or something like that, right?"

  "This is not necessary and probably impossible. I think as long as you achieve outstanding results among our fellow disciples of the Five Peaks, that's enough." Nan Ruo said thoughtfully.

  "That's absolutely no problem, this time Disciple will definitely make Qingmu Feng proud."

  Since he decided to go all out, Zhang Shan simply said what he wanted to say. Besides, when asking the disciples of the Tian Xiang Sect, he really didn't fear anyone.

  After returning to Qingchen Temple, Zhang Shan practiced even more desperately, planning to raise his own realm as high as possible in the shortest time.

  In the following days, he spent most of his time cultivating in the spiritual realm, taking advantage of the time difference. Outside, apart from necessary eating and sleeping, he was indeed racing against time, forgetting to rest and sleep.

  Time flies like an arrow, and in a flash, five months have passed just like this.

  That day, Zhang Shan woke up from his meditation, let out a long sigh, and finally advanced to the fifth level of the True Martial Realm.

  In just a few short months, Zhangshan has been rapidly advancing, his promotion speed can be described as abnormal.

  As for Nan Ruo's promotion speed, it has already gone from the initial stunning to later becoming numb, thinking it was a matter of course.

  At first, she also made Zhangshan go to Qingtong every ten days to check his progress and prevent him from slackening off. However, later on, it was discovered that this was completely unnecessary.

  This disciple spent every moment in cultivation, so she worried that he was over-cultivating and ordered him to do nothing for at least an hour each day, relaxing for a while.

  Afterwards, she no longer restricted him from doing anything except for visiting his condition at Qingxuan Institute every month.

  After advancing to the fifth rank of Zhenwu Realm today, Zhang Shan always felt a slight difference from before.

  He carefully examined his entire body and then discovered that the source of his strange feeling was from his soul skill.

  After taking a closer look, he was surprised to find that his Soul Skill 'Suppress' had actually evolved.

  After the previous soul skill suppressed and released, it could knock the opponent down one realm, but now, it can knock them down two realms.

  "It's truly unbelievable, this soul skill can still be upgraded, if my realm is further elevated, I wonder if it will upgrade again?"

  Zhang Shan stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

  "The host's soul skill should evolve again when you upgrade to True Martial Ninth Rank, forming an ability that can suppress opponents at the Three Realms level."

  Ling'er's voice echoed in his ears at this time.

  These few times of minor boundary breakthroughs, Ling'er didn't need to fall asleep like before.

  According to her, it's because these few evolutions have all been to further evolve the Spirit Domain, without producing new abilities, so there's no need for her to fall asleep.

  "Ling'er, are you sure?" Zhang Shan asked excitedly.

  "It's absolutely not wrong, but this soul skill has already pressed the opponent to the threefold realm boundary and should have reached its limit without further evolution. When you advance to the Xuanwu Realm, a second soul skill should emerge." Ling'er analyzed.

  "Crossing three boundaries of decency? This is already freaking abnormal."

  Zhang Shan threw his head back and laughed loudly, no longer hoping for more.

  After resting for a while, he continued to cultivate for half a day and consolidated his realm before Zhang Shan walked out of the cultivation chamber.

  He calculated the time and found that the opening of the All-Martial Arts Conference was approaching, and his closed-door training should also come to an end. There were still some preparations to be made.

  This time's All Sects Martial Arts Conference is being held at the Xuantian Sect, and the venue is set on Lingdiao Island in the Tianxing Lake.

  Tianxing Lake is about three thousand miles west of the main mountain gate, with excellent scenery and vast blue waves. In the center of the lake, there is a large island called Lingdang Island.

  Returning to the small building on the ground, I received a message from Shiyue, saying that my master had sent a message over, saying that the sword he had ordered was already made and could be picked up at Qingtong Institute whenever I was free.

  Zhang Shan discovered that the Qinghong Sword had been corroded by the black demonic flames summoned by Wang Zhi after their battle with the demon god, and its quality had deteriorated to the point of being unusable.

  Moreover, as his realm improved, the Qinghong Sword also gradually became less suitable for him. After this damage, he wanted to take advantage of the time spent in seclusion to ask someone to re-forge a new sword.

  Nan Ruo Xi found out and contacted a certain master swordsmith within the sect to forge a new sword for him.

  Now that he knew the sword was forged, he unfolded his body method and swept towards the Qingtong Temple at the top of the mountain with an expectant heart.

  He arrived at Nanruo's small residence with ease.

  In the courtyard in front of the building, she was seen wielding a sword with a beautiful and stunning posture.

  He saw him coming, Nan Ruoli stopped and threw the sword at him: "Take it and try it out to see if it fits your hand, be careful, it's not light."

  Zhang Shan carelessly caught the hilt of the sword with one hand, and his body stumbled, almost being dragged to the ground by the sword.

  It wasn't until now that I realized what she said earlier wasn't a joke.

  "What's not light is simply dead heavy, isn't it? Must be intentionally trying to mess with me..."

  Zhang Shan secretly cursed in his heart and hastily sat down on his horse, quickly turning around to steady himself.

  Then, he raised his sword in front of him and examined it carefully.
