The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 12: First Hearing of Hidden Dragon List

Time always passes quickly for a warrior.

Three months passed.

Before he knew it, Gu Yuan had been a member of the Feitian Demon Sect for more than half a year. Perhaps it was because warriors grow quickly, and Gu Yuan, who was already thirteen years old, had grown from 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters. His skin was no longer as dry and cracked as it was four months ago due to years of wind and snow.

He has fair skin and regular features. Although he is not handsome, he has the potential to be a handsome guy.

During this period, Gu Yuan, as usual, practiced basic sword techniques a hundred times in the courtyard in the morning, and practiced martial arts on the mountainside in the morning. When his internal energy was exhausted, he sat cross-legged on the ground to practice his skills and restore his internal energy. At noon, he came back to the cafeteria to eat lunch and listen to what had happened recently in the martial arts world in order to prepare for his future career. He continued to practice in the afternoon, and practiced his skills and tempered his internal energy in the evening.

And so on and on.

It has to be said that the Snow Spirit Pill is worthy of being as famous as the Ice Heart Pill. Without considering drug resistance, it helped Gu Yuan to reach the peak of the sixth level of the Demonic Evil Art in just one month, and also enabled him to break through to the tenth level of the Qi training realm.

Then, in the next two months, he practiced the Demonic Evil Art to the seventh highest level and raised his cultivation to the tenth peak.

On this day, Gu Yuan had just practiced for a whole morning and was preparing to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.

In the cafeteria, some outer disciples who had just finished training and were exhausted did not rush to finish their meal. Instead, they walked slower and slower, discussing something important.

"Do you know that something big happened in the sect?"

"What big event could happen to the sect? Our Feitian Demon Sect is one of the seven sixth-grade sects in Nanzhuo Territory. Even the other six sixth-grade sects dare not provoke us easily. What big event could happen? Could it be that a middle-level spiritual vein appeared somewhere, and a war between the sixth-grade sects is about to break out?"

"There isn't a spiritual vein, but it is related to the younger generation."

"Brother Wang, you are keeping us in suspense again. Tell us what you have to say."

"Senior Sister Murong has entered the Baoyuan Realm." Although the person who spoke had a low voice, the outer disciples nearby could hear it clearly, and even many inner disciples came over.

"what?"

"Senior Sister Murong has entered the Bao Yuan Realm? Is this true? The first major hurdle for a warrior is to break through from the Condensation Realm to the Bao Yuan Realm. Even if you are a genius with the luck of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, it will take one or two years to enter the Bao Yuan Realm from the peak of the late Condensation Realm. It seems that Senior Sister Murong just turned seventeen last month. It has only been half a year since she entered the peak of the late Condensation Realm. And she has never participated in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition."

The inner sect disciple named Senior Brother Wang said with emotion, "I also heard it from my cousin, who is a core disciple. It is said that after Senior Sister Murong entered the Bao Yuan Realm, she challenged the core disciples ahead of her and made it to the top five. My cousin's cultivation reached the peak of the middle Bao Yuan Realm, but he still lost. When the core disciples who are over 25 years old become inner sect deacons, I am afraid that among the core disciples, except for Senior Brother Mo Yan, no one will be a match for Senior Sister Murong."

"Haha, in the past, the disciples of Fire Spirit Hall and Wuqing Sect always suppressed our Feitian Demon Sect. Now that we have Senior Sister Murong and Senior Brother Mo Yan, it's our turn to suppress them."

"I'm afraid not." The speaker was an inner sect disciple wearing a black robe.

Upon hearing this, the other disciples also looked over curiously.

The inner sect disciple broke the news: "I just came back from completing a mission. The target of this mission is not far from the Fire Spirit Hall. I happened to hear that the Fire Spirit Hall's chief disciple Yan Chi has already reached the 40th level of his Fire Blade Intention."

"Yan Chihuo, is he the Fire Spirit Prince? I know him. He is about the same age as Senior Brother Mo Yan, but he realized the sword intent at the peak of the late Condensation Realm. It is said that he could easily defeat veteran warriors in the late Baoyuan Realm when he was in the early Baoyuan Realm. He is very powerful."

"Tsk tsk, at the age of nineteen, he has already reached 40% of his sword intent. He is really a freak. I just wonder how much the ruthless swordsman Li Daoxuan's sword intent has reached. I remember that he had already achieved a small level of sword intent half a year ago."

"I think he should be close to 40% of the sword intent. Although he is one year younger than the Fire Spirit Prince, his sword intent has never lagged behind the Fire Spirit Prince's knife intent."

"Just wait and see. The Hidden Dragon Ranking competition in a year will definitely be a battle of dragons and tigers."

Murong Qingcheng entered the Baoyuan realm!
Yan Chihuo's sword intent has reached 40%!
After hearing these two pieces of news, Gu Yuan's face did not show much emotion.

After all, with the talents of these two people, it is not difficult to achieve such an achievement.

The key is the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition one year later, which is what he should pay most attention to.

If he guessed correctly, this was the previous Hidden Dragon Ranking competition that Ye Chen participated in. And Ye Chen was reborn not long after this Hidden Dragon Ranking ended.

In other words, the next session will be the most prosperous one in the Qianlong List in a thousand years.

This is about one's own destiny.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

He is now only a martial artist in the late tenth level of Qi Training Realm. Relying on the Demonic Evil Art that he has cultivated to the highest level, as well as a trace of wind artistic conception he has comprehended from the Gale Sword Technique and the low-level earth-level martial art Shocking Lightning Fist, he may be able to defeat a martial artist in the early stage of Condensing Realm by crossing levels. However, it is not realistic to deal with a martial artist in the middle stage of Condensing Realm, let alone a martial artist in the late stage of Condensing Realm.

I must improve my cultivation as soon as possible.

Gu Yuan thought about it secretly in his mind, ate his lunch in no time, asked for enough dry food and water in the cafeteria, and then returned to the courtyard to shut himself in.

He will never come out unless he breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm this time.

After ten days of hard training, Gu Yuan finally reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi training. He was only one step away from the Condensation Realm, but he was unwilling to be stuck at this point.

Once you lose your momentum, you will probably waste one or two months or even two or three months.

At this time, the Yuan Zeng Dan that was rewarded at the mass grave can finally come into play.

Zengyuan Dan is different from Ningzhen Dan.

Although the Ningzhen Pill can 100% help a peak warrior at the tenth level of the Qi Training Realm to break through to the Ningzhen Realm, there will be a period of Qi deficiency for more than half a year afterwards. During this period of more than half a year, it will be almost impossible to improve the cultivation level.

Therefore, few disciples of the sect are willing to take this medicine.

But Zeng Yuan Dan is different. Its function is to increase the internal energy of the warriors in the Qi training stage.

Of course, in contrast, the chance of assisting a Qi training warrior to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm is much smaller.

But Gu Yuan didn't care.

His Demonic Evil Art has been cultivated to the highest level, the seventh level.

The purity of his internal energy far exceeds that of an ordinary martial artist at the tenth level of the Qi training realm.

Even without the Zengyuan Pill, he would be able to break through to the Ningzhen Realm in two or three months at most.

After all, his talent is not weak.

Zengyuan Dan only has the effect of saving hard work.

Breaking through from the Qi Training Stage to the True Condensation Stage is a process of liquefying the internal Qi into true Qi.

The moon is like a disk, and the sky is filled with stars.

The moonlight shone into Gu Yuan's room through the gauze window and fell on his fair and tender face.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the clean and wide bed, with cold air rising from his head. He was refining the medicinal power of Zeng Yuan Dan.

As the Zengyuan Pill was refined, the internal Qi continued to circulate and compress, and wisps of liquid Qi began to reappear in Guyuan Dantian. Later on, they were like ribbons, clearly separate from the internal Qi.
