Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 300 Bonfire Celebration
The deafening cheers continued from daytime into the night.

This time, Huang Bing did not hold any celebration banquet in the main hall of the main peak.

He held the victory celebration banquet right on Xuanri Peak!

Several huge bonfires were burning brightly, and the fish, meat, wine and dishes were all brought over by the fast-moving disciples from the water village at the foot of the mountain, or even from Qingcheng, as if they were free.

Today at Xuanri Peak, there is no distinction between inner and outer sects, elders and disciples, or even which sect you belong to. Eat and drink as much as you like, and Sect Leader Huang will pay the bill!
After dealing with the elders from Changjing Sect who offered their congratulations, Mei Changqing from Xuanyi Mountain came to chat with him, his words revolving around his mysterious internal energy. Pei Xia simply laughed it off, saying it was a natural talent.

The flickering firelight cast many shadows on Xuanri Peak. After a long while, Pei Xia finally found a corner to sit down and rest.

My body was very tired. Fighting against Qingque's sword energy was a huge burden, especially the spells I used repeatedly during the process, which also put a lot of mental strain on me.

Even when I was talking with the elders just now, the sharp whistling in my head almost drowned out their voices—fortunately, because of the celebration, Xuanri Peak was bustling with activity, which to some extent offset the effects of this fatigue.

Otherwise, he would have already left and returned to his cave.

Huang Bing knew he needed to rest, and seeing him sit down, he quickly told the others not to disturb him.

But as he said that, he glanced at Ji Shaofu and raised his eyebrows in a very encouraging manner.

"I..." Ji Shaofu stammered, looking at her senior brother, her heart filled with inexplicable hesitation.

Huang Bing was experienced, but he couldn't immediately figure out his junior sister's thoughts. Just as he was wondering why she hesitated, he saw a figure flash by on the other side, who had already sat down next to Pei Xia.

It's Xia Xuan.

Huang Bing smacked his lips, his expression unfriendly.

Xia Xuan was injured in today's competition, fracturing her wrist bone, and will need to rest for a while.

However, judging from her expression, she did not seem tired at all; her eyes and brows were lively, especially with a touch of agility.

In terms of overall physical burden, Xia Xuan, who was suppressed by Qing Que from beginning to end, naturally consumed much less energy than Pei Xia, and there was no need to distract herself from suppressing Huo Zhi.

From another perspective, if the roles were reversed and Xia Xuan faced Qing Que instead, without Pei Xia's robust physique, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

"Senior!" She sat down next to Pei Xia with ease. "Was that last clone you created today also a form of magic?"

Pei Xia tilted her head and glanced at her, clicking her tongue in disdain: "Why do you ask others about magic as soon as you come up? You have no manners at all."

Human masters do not possess invincible supernatural powers. Many of their spells, though seemingly strange and powerful, actually rely on information asymmetry to succeed. Therefore, masters rarely explain their spells to others.

As for performing spells, unless absolutely necessary, do not perform them in front of people who are still alive.

When Pei Xia first returned to Beishi City with Luo Xiaojin, she said that most Su Shi would only make a move when they were very confident, partly because they did not want to expose their magic.

Xia Xuan showed no shame. She let out a long "Oh," and said, "So it really is magic."

"Uh……"

Realizing she had let something slip, Pei Xia pursed her lips: "What, you're not convinced?"

Xia Xuan shook her head: "Magic is also a part of cultivation, I'm just a little... how should I put it."

The girl sighed, lowered her head slightly, and a strand of hair at her temple fell down, obscuring half of her eye: "The world's magic is hard to know, and there are always times when we can't understand all kinds of supernatural powers. Is it true that simple martial arts cultivation can never defeat a dual-cultivation cultivator like you?"

Pei Xia looked at her with a strange expression.

Putting aside everything else, Fu Hongshuang's character is truly excellent. The fact that she raised this question shows that after losing the duel, she was indeed reflecting on the process and trying to find the answer.

Pei Xia, carrying a wine gourd, tapped her on the head: "Being unable to defeat me and being unable to defeat Master Su are two different things. Don't worry too much about it. There are twelve realms in martial arts. You can think about this kind of question when you reach the peak of the twelfth realm."

Hearing the wind, transforming into the netherworld, vibrating the energy, refining the cauldron, reaching the profound, opening the mansion, transforming into the primordial, heavenly knowledge, proving the Dao, returning to the void—the tenth realm already possesses a vast power that connects heaven and earth.

If a master wants to contend with the beings of the Returning to Emptiness Realm using magic, in addition to having a profound understanding of the principles of the world, he must also rely on external assistance in terms of computational power.

In other words, a Su Shi must reach at least the seventh realm before he is qualified to face a Gui Xu realm cultivator with the help of "Shen Ji".

As for those who want to unleash their full potential and truly compete with those in the Returning to Emptiness Realm, even a Seventh-Level Master might not be enough.

Pei Xia wasn't just bragging about herself.

His mastery of martial arts is extremely extraordinary, and in some ways, it is even more exaggerated than the boost that Cheng Tianwu gave to his martial arts cultivation.

A fifth-level cultivator who possesses five or six supernatural abilities and techniques is already quite extraordinary. After the Calamity Pig is increasingly restrained by the Heart Fire, he can further unleash his computational power and continuously or even simultaneously unleash several supernatural abilities.

If we use him as a benchmark, it would be too unfair to other practitioners.

Xia Xuan shrugged, sat down next to her senior, stretched out her legs and swung them on her toes: "Master went to so much trouble to send me to Dongzhou, but I didn't get to go to Liancheng Illusion. I'm sure she'll beat me up when I get back."

The girl probably didn't mean it that way.

But Pei Xia felt a bit of mockery in his tone, as if he were bullying the younger generation.

The man coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then touched his nose and said, "You... just say you ran into me, and if you're so capable, tell her to come find me at Changjing Gate!"

Xia Xuan stared at him with wide, almond-shaped eyes.

Pei Xia hesitated for a moment, feeling a little guilty, and said, "I'll come back in six months."

If things go smoothly in the Liancheng Illusion, Pei Xia will be able to balance the calamity within his mind, allowing him to improve his cultivation without any worries. With half a year to cultivate in seclusion, he should be able to reach the Opening Mansion Realm.

Although it's unlikely that he can defeat Fu Hongshuang, he should be able to escape and protect himself.

The campfire burned brightly, and Xia Xuan sat down next to Pei Xia, unable to leave for a moment.

There was no romantic ambiguity between the two. Xia Xuan initially asked him for advice on cultivation techniques, such as sword moves, internal energy, and the tricks of controlling magical artifacts with divided spirit.

But as the questions went on, they somehow ended up talking about Fu Hongshuang.

Although Xia Xuan had learned most of what Pei Xia had done back then from her master over the past six months, listening to Pei Xia recount the absurd events in Dongzhou from a different perspective was quite interesting.

After all, when his master spoke to him, he wouldn't go into detail about his embarrassing situation.

Like when she was drunk, she clung to Pei Xia, who was ten years younger than her, and wailed, saying things like, "Master is not human! He gave me the spiritual materials left over from feeding the dogs to refine pills."

Pei Xia also happily told Xia Xuan about that woman's embarrassing stories, including falling off a cliff and being pooped on by a giant bird, hahaha...

The two people's cheerful laughter echoed in a corner of Xuanri Peak.

Ji Shaofu listened to it all night.

Woo woo woo.
