Chapter 161: Expanding Sword Light, Congealing Sword Qi

“How did he open the passage when he left?” Shang Xia turned to look in the direction where Zhu Ying escaped to and asked without replying her question.

Mu Qingyu paused for a second and shook her head. “I… I don’t know…”

Finally turning to look at her, Shang Xia asked extremely seriously, “Do you think he’ll let his cultivation furnace die?”

A smirk slowly appeared on Mu Qingyu’s face. “Do you think he has the guts to return?”

“Exactly. That’s why this place will definitely be safe!” Shang Xia grinned.

“What are you trying to say?” Mu Qingyu was starting to get confused with everything he was saying.

“Not much. I’m also done with my preparations to comprehend my martial extremity intent. The things he left here will be really useful for my cultivation!” Shang Xia chuckled.

Mu Qingyu was dumbstruck after hearing what he said. Watching him open the bottle of Tempering Meridian Powder, she snapped, “Are you crazy? Do you think you can comprehend it anytime you wish? Won’t you have to try several times before you succeed…”

Mu Qingyu stopped abruptly. That was indeed the case. Zhu Ying’s Burning Blood Ice Sealing Art was the same. He wouldn’t be able to comprehend it in one shot! Wouldn’t that mean that she would have to be repeatedly violated by him?

Seeing the smile on Shang Xia’s face, she didn’t know if he had also thought of the point.

Whatever the case, Shang Xia wouldn’t be dwelling on it for long. After all, his attention had turned to his inner qi that was rapidly transforming in his body.

She was right. It was difficult for anyone to comprehend their martial intent on the first try. They would have to go through several trials and experiments before finally finding the correct path.

That might be true for ordinary cultivators, but it was a completely different case for Shang Xia! In his sea of consciousness, the blood red tablet showed the success rate as long as he obtained the required ingredients and cultivated the correct techniques. Now that he obtained all the medicine he required, it was time! In fact, obtaining the Expanding Meridian Powder was a bonus that he hadn’t expected!

Turning to look at the blood red tablet in his sea of consciousness, Shang Xia added the Expanding Meridian Powder to the required medicine and the success rate increased by 5 percent instantly!

He wanted to try adding the Life Blood Powder too, but he realized that the blood red tablet wasn’t responding at all.

As for the other two types of medicine, Shang Xia chose not to add them to the formula. After all, he had no idea what to call them in the first place.

Swallowing the Expanding Meridian Powder, he circulated his inner qi as the medicinal effects quickly filled his body.

It didn’t take long before Shang Xia felt the changes in his body. His meridians were starting to expand, and his flow of inner qi became much smoother than before. The time required for his inner qi to make one full circulation also shortened!

Shang Xia discovered that his inner qi was like a tiny stream flowing through his now enlarged meridians. There was a lot of empty space!

Even though the expansion of his meridians didn’t mean that they became stronger, it allowed Shang Xia to circulate even more inner qi around his body! It lowered the difficulty of him comprehending his martial intent!

With a single thought, more inner qi started to gush out from his dantian. The stream of inner qi flowing in his meridians became a lot thicker than before, and Shang Xia realized the amount of heaven and earth qi he could absorb became a lot larger than before. Just that point alone would ensure that he would be able to cultivate a lot faster than before.

Medicine like the Expanding Meridian Powder were basically one-time-use treasures. His body would become extremely resistant to its effects if he tried to use it a second time, and it would be completely useless if he took it a third time.

As he circulated his inner qi, a frown formed on Shang Xia’s face. The Expanding Meridian Powder was really crucial to his comprehension of his Yin Yang Sword Formation! Why didn’t the blood red tablet tell him about it previously?

Even though he couldn’t wrap his head around how the tablet worked, it didn’t affect his cultivation plan. He quickly took out the bottle of Tempering Meridian Powder and poured it into his mouth.

The effects of the medicine were obviously different from the Expanding Meridian Powder he used previously. If his meridians were like rivers and the Expanding Meridian Powder made them wider and deeper, the Tempering Meridian Powder would reinforce the edges of the river, strengthening it to an incredible degree!

Now that Shang Xia’s meridians were stronger and wider, they could withstand the stress brought about by the fusion of qis.

Mu Qingyu watched as Shang Xia ingested both powders before sitting down cross-legged on the ground. She was surprised to discover that he was really doing as he said. The heaven and earth qi in the chamber started fluctuating wildly.

“Hey!” Even though she was unable to move, she yelled loudly at Shang Xia.

However, he was too engrossed in his cultivation to hear her cries.

Pausing for a second, she noticed that Shang Xia was still sitting motionless on the ground. A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes and her body that was supposed to be paralyzed with the restrictions Zhu Ying set twitched slightly.

Shang Xia didn’t notice it due to his cultivation, but her expression became a lot more relaxed. Her hands trembled slightly before she propped her body up on the bed.

As his breathing became a little more hurried, his inner qi transformed several times and he seemed too distracted to care about what was around him.

Mu Qingyu clearly noticed that point. She straightened her body and slowly placed her legs on the ground.

Getting to her feet, she stared at Shang Xia in the middle of the chamber. She only needed to take another step to enter her attack range. Taking the chance, she could even…

Looking at Shang Xia who was diligently cultivating, he wouldn’t know what had happened even after she had done it!

Once that happened, all of his secrets and treasures would fall into her hands!

As the third-generation young master of the Shang Clan, the items he had were definitely on par with Zhu Ying! In fact, he might even possess a rank three advancement formula!

Mu Qingyu’s expression changed several times as an unsteady light flashed in her eyes. Her morality was struggling with her desire, and one of them was clearly winning.

Just as she was about to make up her mind, a cold snort escaped Shang Xia’s lips. Ripples appeared in the space around her and several rays of sword light condensed around those ripples.

That wasn’t all. Shang Xia’s expression twisted slightly in pain, and the sword light started to turn solid. They became strands of sword qi!

Those strands of sword qi that remained in the air showed no signs of dissipating. They were like actual swords that hovered in the sky. As if ridiculing Mu Qingyu, the sword qi returned to Shang Xia and started spinning around him. They formed an impregnable screen that protected him from harm.

Even if Mu Qingyu wanted to try something, she would probably be killed before she could make her move. After all, her cultivation was far too weak compared to Shang Xia! Even if she gave it her all and unleashed all her trump cards, she might not be able to do a thing!

With one of the options out of the picture, Mu Qingyu heaved a sigh of relief. Since she couldn’t kill him, there was only one thing left to do. Give up and act obediently.

As time slowly passed, the sword qi around Shang Xia started to increase. Every single one of them seemed to be sentient, and they hid great power within them.

Mu Qingyu realized that many of the sword qi around Shang Xia looked different. After careful observation, she realized that there were three types in total.

“What type of martial intent is that?! It looks like the hardest type of martial intent to comprehend, a sword formation! His sword qi looked different from each other too… Looks really weird!” Mu Qingyu muttered softly. Since there was no way she could harm him, Mu Qingyu started to analyze his technique.

Out of nowhere, she discovered that not only was the number of sword qi growing in number, they were also expanding slightly. More than half the chamber was filled with his sword qi!

How in the world did he form so many strands of sword qi anyway?

Mu Qingyu tried to inspect the strand that was closest to her, but the instant her inner qi came into contact with it, a burst of light emerged from Shang Xia’s sword qi. It sundered her strand of inner qi without expending much energy.

That wasn’t all. The moment she agitated the strand of sword qi, several other strands seemed to have felt it. They turned in unison and pointed at the source of the disturbance, Mu Qingyu!
