Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

The sudden turn of events caught Xie Xun, the elder of the Xie clan who had traveled a long way from the Yu Huan Xie clan, and Xie Jixuan completely off guard.

They watched as the young man opened the black box, and the eyelids of the grandmaster-like old man beside him, who was as imposing as a mountain, twitched involuntarily.

A rare find!

Just a casual gift!?
Even the most powerful and influential families wouldn't dare to speak so casually!

But looking at its appearance, which is described as "the sun and moon becoming spirits, and the celestial light forming images," it is not fake; it is clearly the real deal.

The elders and direct descendants of the Xie clan all frowned, a thought flashing through their minds simultaneously:
"What is the origin of this person?"

In the past, Jiangyin Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of Beicang, did not even have a titled Martial Saint or a giant. Its lineage was shallow, and apart from the convenience of sea transport, it was a poor and remote place.

Where did this kind of 'cross-river dragon' come from?
However, before they came, they had heard that there was a great commotion in the East Canghai.

The appearance of the Yuan Mansion, suspected to be the "Impermanent Lord of All Laws," has attracted the covetousness of the great sects of immortals and the Dragon Lord's Mansion of the East Sea.
Could this person also be a descendant of a major sect or powerful clan who gathered here because of this news?

But when did Xiao Mingli meet such a person? Given her indifferent attitude towards others at Tianchi, how could she make someone spare a rare herb and bleed so much?

Xie Jixuan was completely confused, and at the same time, he was quite displeased by Ji Xiu's veiled criticism.

But before he could ascertain the whole story and the background of the old man and the young man before him, this genuine scion of a wealthy family remained calm and narrowed his eyes to slits.

"Your Excellency is quite generous, not only did you do me a favor and say a lot of nice things, but you also used my 'Jade Huan Xie Clan' as a stepping stone to trample on me."

"I am Xie Jixuan, a direct descendant of the Xie family of Yuhuan."

I don't know.

"What is your name, and which of the Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars are you a descendant of?"

Xie Jixuan wanted to first touch the person in front of him to find out who he was.

The Great Mystery is very large.

Eighteen regional military governorates were scattered throughout the region, with Beicang nestled in the "white mountains and black waters," a remote and impoverished corner of the area, and its subordinate Jiangyin Prefecture being even more insignificant.

But Da Xuan is very small.

The most prestigious families, even those found throughout the world, are nothing more than the Nine Great Clans, the Ten Heavenly Pillars, the Kings of the Jade Capital, and the Great Heretical Sects.

Almost as soon as someone introduces themselves, their background and capabilities are immediately apparent.

If the talent doesn't come from any of the four aforementioned sources, then even if they could produce exceptional talent, it would only be from some local powerful families or clans.
Even before the Xie family of Yuhuan, who had been nobles for generations, they were no match for them!
"Ji Xiu learned from the two true sects of Tiandao and Longxiang, and did not come from any of the current Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars."

Heavenly Blade, Dragon Elephant True Sect?
What is that thing? I've never heard of it before!
Xie Jixuan was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that Ji Xiu's words were not false, his eyes immediately turned somewhat unfriendly:

"True Sect?"

“A true sect in a certain place might be considered a behemoth in Jiangyin Prefecture, enough to be ordered to suppress the gate of a certain place, with a martial saint in charge.”

"but."

"Looking at the world, it's not quite enough."

“A single ‘heavenly material’ is not just any ordinary cabbage; for the True Sect, it is an extremely precious treasure.”

"Friend, sometimes, trouble comes from what you say."

"The Golden Branch of the Coiled Dragon was obtained by my elder brother Xie Wen, who overcame all objections and applied to have it retrieved from the clan and sent to Beicang Jiangyin."

If you insist on giving it to me...

"That would be to make things difficult for him."

Xie Jixuan spoke softly yet firmly, without any arrogance, as if stating a fact.

It was as if Ji Xiu would lose his family and be destroyed the next day if he argued with him.

Xie Wen.

Ji Xiu had heard of this name before.

The secret technique of Pi Guan that I had previously practiced, the 'Feathered Immortal Robe' that broke through the three limits of the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, came from the Xie Clan of Yu Huan.

According to Xie Zhinan and his master's wife Xie Fuyao, this person is the one who has succeeded the Xie family's ancestral bloodline in this generation, and is on whom the ancestral lineage places high hopes.

If converted to the Ten Directions Heavenly Pillars and the True Sect of One Land, that would be an existence at the level of 'Contemporary Walking True Sect Dao Child'!

When it comes to martial arts cultivation, one must at least be a prodigy who has broken through the six limits, is approaching the level of a martial saint, and is among the top talents on the Young Dragon Stele.

Xie Jixuan's words were simply trying to convey one meaning.

It was meant to make Ji Xiu back down when things got tough.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu almost laughed out of anger.

Yu Huan Xie Clan
What a magnificent sight!
No, where does he get the nerve?
Why do people insist on getting a piece of the pie and controlling whatever gifts they receive?
No wonder Xiao Mingli used to show undisguised disgust when she met Xie Zhinan and mentioned the Yu Huan Xie family.

In other words, the only person Ji Xiu came into contact with was Xie Fuyao, who was temporarily residing in Beicangzhou and Jiangyin Prefecture. Because of Duan Chenzhou's influence, Xie Fuyao had taken good care of him during his cultivation, which is why Ji Xiu was unaware of her presence.

But looking at it now
These actors, who have come from generations of distinguished families, are far more than just ordinary people with great ambition!

Having concluded his journey through the 'Impermanent Realm of All Things', though it had sown many hidden dangers, he had also gained a great deal.

When Ji Xiu obtained the Sumeru Immortal Fruit, he didn't think too much about it at all.

He pondered that Xiao Mingli had taken great care of him ever since he entered Jiangyin Prefecture. At the Heavenly Blade Ceremony the other day, he even vowed that he would help her stand up again and regain her peak appearance.

Therefore, after gaining the approval of Chen Xuanque, the lord of Beicang, he was instructed to go to Beicang Prefecture soon to be promoted to a higher official position.

Upon seeing that Xiao Pingnan and his daughter had disappeared, Ji Xiu rushed to the Marquis's residence.

The purpose was to give this rare herb to Xiao Mingli and invite a master alchemist to transform her and cure her chronic illness.

He never expected anything unexpected to happen, after all, what could possibly go wrong while delivering medicine?
But this group from the Xie family of Yuhuan
But this made him frown and his eyes gradually sharpen.

"The Xie family of Yuhuan, what a big face they have."

But before Ji Xiu could speak, Xiao Mingli spoke up. The woman's sleeves fluttered lightly, her eyes gleaming. With a flick of her fingertips, she released her true energy and directly pressed down the jade box presented by the Xie family.
"Just because you want to give it to me, Xiao Mingli, means I should accept it?"

"What kind of logic is that!"

Xiao Mingli had bright eyes and white teeth, her eyebrows exuded a heroic air, and her eyes were filled with a cold and deep aura.

She looked at Xie Jixuan, especially when he spoke of belittling Ji Xiu, her eyes flashing with anger.

"I have said before that I will not accept a single gift from the Xie family of Yuhuan!"

"So what if it's Xie Wen? He still wants a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones, and he wants my promise." "What does that have to do with me?"

"Take your precious materials and get out!"

Seeing Ji Xiu offer up the rare treasures he had just acquired without hesitation, Xiao Mingli's heart trembled.

Rare and precious materials are hard to come by. If we could invite a master alchemist to refine a heavenly elixir that rivals the wonders of nature, it would not only extend lifespan, but also bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.
For those practicing Qi cultivation, receiving a baptism of heavenly materials can replenish their deficiencies, or serve as resources for achieving flawless transformation and forging the Dragon-Tiger Qi.
Even ordinary masters with shallow foundations and no hope of being "titled" in this lifetime can have a chance to become pseudo-Martial Saints or even Martial Saints!
It is enough to drive outsiders crazy. Even the most steadfast person would find it hard to remain indifferent upon seeing it.

Even if the Jade Huan Xie family brought the [Panlong Golden Branch], seemingly showing goodwill, it actually harbored malicious intentions.

The reason he waited six years before feigning concern was to test his own character, so that when he was at his wit's end, he could force her to submit to the wishes of that 'Young Master Wen' and serve him for the rest of her life.

But Ji Xiu's words were sincere and heartfelt, without any hint of regret!
In this world, only a sincere heart is truly genuine and hardest to betray.

Xiao Mingli could see that, to Ji Xiu, the value of that Sumeru Immortal Fruit was truly less than the affection and bond she had shared with him over the past period of time.

How could this not move her and make her heart tremble? How could Xiao Mingli remain unmoved when she heard the Xie clan elders and direct descendants insulting him like this?
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't stand up due to his legs, which nearly depleted his Qi Sea, and that he was still the true disciple of Tianchi from back then, Xiao Mingli would have even wanted to draw her sword and kill him on the spot!

Even if it's Xie Wen, if I hadn't been crippled, and had persevered in my six years of hard training to this day, I might still be able to rival him!
Why bother listening to the other members of the Xie family of Yuhuan barking and howling?

"Ming Li."

Xiao Pingnan was taken aback when he heard his daughter's ruthless attitude. He wanted to offer some advice, but then he thought that since the boy had this intention, it was better than him bowing down to the Xie family.

With the rare talent in hand, things will be much easier from here on out. Once I step into the Northern Cang region in a few days, I will invite a top-tier alchemy master of the third rank to come out of seclusion.
His own daughter could be reborn and become the true disciple of Tianchi again. She might not be without a chance to regain the title in this lifetime!
Six years is only a short time; we can afford to delay it!

For a moment, Xiao Pingnan felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, he had some complaints about Xie's oppression. So he kept a straight face and remained silent.

Xie Jixuan hadn't expected to be met with such a barrage of insults from Xiao Mingli, so his face twitched and a fire ignited in his heart.

But looking at her disdainful expression...
He said nothing, only put his hands behind his back and looked at Xie Xun:

"Elder, since they don't appreciate our kindness and don't want our good intentions..."

"Then we will not stay in this remote and impoverished place."

Having said that, he was about to step over the threshold and walk straight through the corridor to leave.

However, at the very moment their figures intersected...
Suddenly, Xie's son narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. The thumbs hidden under his sleeves snapped straight up, exuding a dense, murderous aura. He turned and attacked Ji Xiu's dantian!
"Boy, what you've done today has truly enraged me. In all my twenty years of life, I've never been reprimanded like this before."

"Today, I'll start by collecting some interest from you!"

Xie Jixuan suddenly made a move, his palm strike carrying immense true energy, ruthless and vicious, with the intent to cripple his opponent.

If the fight were to be truly intense, and the dantian and qi sea were to be broken, everyone's foundation would likely be forcibly shattered!
He was really unhappy.

He himself said that he was acting on the orders of the next 'Grand Master' of the Yu Huan Xie Clan, and that he also had clan elders accompanying him as his backers.

The two of them, working in perfect harmony like a husband and wife, showed him absolutely no shame.
Do they really think the direct descendants of the Xie family are easy to bully?!
He wasn't from the Nine Clans and Ten Pillars lineage, so he must have been a peasant.

Even if the old man next to me doesn't seem easy to get along with
However, Elder Xie Xun is a martial arts master, and this time he came specially on the orders of his elder brother Xie Wen to escort the rare treasure!

In the entire Beicang region, apart from the powerful clans and orthodox rulers, how many people can be considered to have achieved truly "giant" accomplishments?
Even if he is the Marquis of Beicang, he is only a titled Martial Saint!

Xiao Mingli's leg is broken, yet she still dares to be so arrogant. However, considering that she is still useful and valued by his brother, he has to suppress his temper and endure it.
As for this kid, we destroyed his foundation and robbed him of his natural talents. Even if he has two True Sects backing him up, at most he'll only be two titled Martial Saints!

Can you protect this rare talent through this kind of cultivation?
It is rightfully his to receive, and to use it as provisions for his spiritual practice!

However----

Ji Xiu remained expressionless. His body was united with the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir, and he had reached the Daoist level of 'Primordial Spirit Astral Projection,' far surpassing the level of a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it even stirs.

The moment Xie Jixuan made his move, he sensed something amiss, noticing that the force of the palm strike was comparable to that of a 'School Master,' showing no mercy whatsoever.
Without hesitation, Ji Xiu extended five fingers, each one as solid as iron, and activated his Martial Arts Body 'Human Immortal Primordial Embryo', pressing down sharply!
With a loud bang, as if a thunderclap had exploded, Xie Jixuan's wrist was immediately seized, rendering him unable to move or advance an inch!

"Ok?"

Xie Jixuan frowned, let out a soft "hmm," and his eyes flashed with a strange light:

"Martial arts treasure body?"

"Good lad, I never expected that such a character who breaks the four limits could emerge from this remote and impoverished place."

"amazing!"

"but"

"It's nothing special!"

His body seemed to have suddenly opened its treasure vault, and a shimmering light burst forth from his skin!

This is also a sign of breaking through the four limitations and uniting the body with the five internal organs!
Then the arm that Ji Xiu was holding down began to tremble violently, as if a dragon was emerging from the sea, trying to shake off Ji Xiu's palm force!

For a moment, Ji Xiu even felt a tearing pain in his tiger's mouth, as if he couldn't suppress it and was about to be bounced away!

Since breaking through the fourth major limit, its foundation has increased several times over.
This was the first time Ji Xiu had ever seen someone who could directly compete with him in skill and fight him to such an extent!

"These grand houses are truly extraordinary."

"If this is how it is for a direct descendant, what about Xie Wen, who holds the reins of power in his generation?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he licked his lips, but he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, just as his hand was about to be shaken off, the color of his double pupils suddenly appeared in his eyes!

Xuanqiong Heavenly Eye - Dongxuan Forbidden Zone!

Xie Jixuan unleashed his martial arts prowess, a cold smile flashing in his eyes. In the midst of their struggle, he suddenly locked eyes with Ji Xiu.

When he saw Ji Xiu's 'double pupils', especially the mysterious light that seemed to sweep down like a Taoist secret technique.
Suddenly his expression changed:
"Human Immortal Organ—Double Eyes!?"

"Isn't this the bloodline inheritance of the Jiang Xuan clan? How could you, an outsider, be so fortunate as to awaken such a great secret of human nature!?"

He instinctively wanted to break free from Ji Xiu's grasp, however...
Xie Jixuan suddenly realized that his physical body was several times heavier than before, and under the light of the double pupils, he seemed to slow down by half!
Then, with a 'whoosh', the sword at the young man's waist was suddenly drawn from its sheath and was about to strike!

"Boy, my body, forged by the direct line of the Jade Universe Xie Clan, is so formidable that even ordinary weapons can hardly leave a trace of its power, let alone..."

"Wait, this knife..."

"A Martial Saint's Weapon!?"

The moment the [Royal Power Blade] made its appearance, radiating an aura of power.
Xie Jixuan's expression finally turned horrified.

Offering treasures of heavenly materials, martial arts treasure bodies, double pupils, and martial arts artifacts
Is he a 'rich scion,' or am I?!
I feel like I'm the imposter!

"Randomly extending one's dog's paws threatens to cripple a person's foundation and destroy their spiritual cultivation."

"Then today, I will chop off your hand as a warning to others!" (End of Chapter)
