As Qiu Baili was looking out at the horizon, Little Jiang Xue’s voice came from behind, “Grandpa, come here, I’m having some trouble with my cultivation.”

Qiu Baili paused his thought and walked toward her.

Little Jiang Xue had already taken him to be her grandfather. Zhou Xuanji also acknowledged him and became somewhat familiar with him.

However, Zhou Xuanji was busy internalizing Qi at the shoulder of the mountain, and he kept his distance from Qiu Baili.

It was only because Qiu Baili’s stage of cultivation was too high, that he could not compete with him in gathering the spiritual Qi where the man cultivated.

“I’m turning four soon.”

He looked forward to it. One day, he took out his Frost Wave Sword to practice his sword techniques. After Qiu Baili observed Zhou Xuanji for a while, his expression changed drastically. He pulled him aside and sincerely warned him, “Xuanji, from now on, if your life is not in danger, you must not take out those two swords of yours, or else you will find yourself endlessly troubled!”

The Frost Wave Sword was only a bronze grade sword, but it was enough to make Qiu Baili so worried.

Zhou Xuanji was full of expectations for gold, amethyst, and glorious gold grade legendary swords.

Time continued to pass at a rapid rate.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached four years old. Gacha started!”

“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner obtains [Silver] Bloodbath Sword, Eight-Step Sword Lunge, and a hundred pieces of level three spirit stones.”

He heard the sound of the Sword Spirit and was pleasantly surprised.

Another silver grade legendary sword!

The information about the Bloodbath Sword appeared before his eyes.

Sword Name: Bloodbath Sword

Grade: Silver

Description: A sword that drinks blood. The more blood it takes in, the stronger its aura.

…

A blood-drinking sword?

This is a demonic sword?

Zhou Xuanji was even happier. It would be more effective to have swords of varying attributes when he faced different enemies.

Regarding the level three spirit stones, he naturally already knew about them.

Spirit stones are the common currency used throughout the world of cultivation. And at the same time, they could be used for cultivation. They were graded in nine levels, from lowest to highest. The stones of each level were worth ten of the one a level under them. A level-two spirit stone is equivalent to ten level-one spirit stones, and so on.

It could also be said that he obtained ten thousand level-one spirit stones straightaway.

Moreover, he had quite an amount of spirit stones in his Supreme Storage, which he obtained from Ye Feifan, as well as the Fang Clan’s Shen Hua and her two subordinates.

“What is Eight-Step Sword Lunge? Is it a sword technique, or a piece of equipment?” Zhou Xuanji asked curiously, and a portion of memory entered into his mind.

Eight-Step Sword Lunge is a movement technique driven by sword Qi. With each step, one can travel up to a hundred meters. One could slay all their enemies within eight steps.

Of course, this was an exaggeration.

He began practicing Eight-Step Sword Lunge as soon as he had integrated the memory of it.

The movement technique of Eight-Step Sword Lunge was extremely eccentric. Just a single movement could make him fall face down.

Qiu Baili, who was on the peak, opened his eyes and looked at his weird movements. His face displayed curiosity.

What was this little brat up to now?

Zhou Xuanji could only finish the Eight-Step Sword Lunge’s entire set of sword techniques once after training for half an hour.

He continued to practice and would trip and fall occasionally, but he stood up again and again.

After the day ended, he was barely able to practice it eighteen times. Even until night time, he persevered in his training.

He continued until the early morning, and he finished fifty rounds of practice. It became easier as he progressed.

After a hundred rounds of practice, his Eight-Step Sword Lunge had only progressed to the stage of small accomplishment.

The difficulty of training it was greater than the White Crane Sword Technique.

On the second day, he was still as passionate and continued in his training.

On that day, he finally performed it five hundred times, and his Eight-Step Sword Lunge progressed to the stage of complete accomplishment straightaway.

As Qiu Baili watched Zhou Xuanji stride about swiftly at the mountain shoulder, as though he was teleporting, Qiu Baili’s jaw dropped in awe.

He initially thought that the boy had no idea what he was doing. He did not expect him to achieve progress in a real technique!

He immediately took hold of him and asked, “What is this movement technique?”
