Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Spiritual practice knows no time.

Yucheng Peak, Milin County.

Jiang Heqian has been in seclusion for more than four years since returning from Qingsong Cave.

One day, Jiang Heqian, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, suddenly opened his eyes wide. His eyes were pure white, and he exhaled a ball of Jade True Magic Power, which swirled around him like smoke and mist.

After more than four years of seclusion, he mastered the two Purple Mansion Secret Techniques, [Jade Manifestation Steps] and [True Profound Path], in one go before finally waking up from his meditation.

At first, cultivating the Jade Manifestation Steps was relatively easy, and it only took a little over a year to master this secret technique.

However, when it comes to practicing the [Xingzhenxuan] secret method, the difficulty doubles.

Fortunately, Jiang Heqian had the help of the Dao-enlightening Jade. Later, when he was comprehending the secret method of "Xingzhenxuan", he entered the Dao-enlightening Stele once a year and used the moonlight he absorbed to enhance his Dao wisdom.

It took him three years, with many stumbles and setbacks, to master the [Xingzhenxuan] secret technique.

When the Daoist Monument enhances Dao wisdom, Jiang Heqian must stop his cultivation and immerse his divine consciousness in the Daoist Jade to actively enhance it; he cannot automatically consume moonlight to enhance Dao wisdom.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

He managed to master both Purple Mansion Secret Techniques through sheer force.

At the current pace of cultivating secret techniques, the first three techniques took six years. Jiang Heqian's Dao Hui was similar to Li Quewan's, averaging two years to complete one secret technique.

His Dao wisdom was entirely enhanced by absorbing the moon's essence through the Yan Dao Jade.

Li Quewan achieved such a high level of Dao wisdom entirely through her own cultivation.

As for Li Zhouwei's level of Dao wisdom, Jiang Heqian is currently no match for him at all.

As someone connected to the Mingyang Metal element, he was naturally favored by the Mingyang Fruit position. When cultivating the Mingyang Purple Mansion Secret Method, Li Zhouwei was able to cultivate several paths simultaneously.

However, with the help of Yan Daoyu, Jiang Heqian's Dao wisdom will increase with time, and he will eventually catch up with these demons.

After some thought, Jiang Heqian got up, tidied himself up, and prepared to go to Lixia County to find Xiao Yuansi to refine pills.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a streak of bluish-white light streaked across the sky above Yuzhen Peak, hurtling towards Lixia County.

Milin County is not far from Lixia County.

Jiang Heqian flew away for only a few hours before landing at the foot of Xiao Family Xianyou Peak.

He found the Xiao family and asked them to inform them.

Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes with a row of medicine pouches hanging from his sides landed at the foot of the mountain on the wind.

Xiao Yuansi quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said:

"It's been many years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Jiang's cultivation has progressed rapidly; I admire him greatly. Has Fellow Daoist Jiang come here this time for elixirs?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian raised an eyebrow and said with considerable surprise:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao has keen insight. I have come here today to trouble you for the sake of the elixir."

Xiao Yuansi laughed and explained gently:

"Judging from Fellow Daoist Jiang's powerful Jade True Magic and his cultivation reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, he must want me to refine a high-quality Jade True Pill to help him break through to the Purple Mansion. This is not surprising, as I have already helped several fellow Daoists refine pills. That's why I could tell what Fellow Daoist Jiang wanted at a glance."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian nodded slightly and said naturally:

"I admire Fellow Daoist Xiao's noble character."

That makes sense. The Xiao family of Lixia is a renowned family of alchemists, famous throughout the Yue Kingdom. Most cultivators who are not knowledgeable in alchemy will come to the Xiao family for help in refining pills.

Xiao Yuansi was also one of the top alchemists in the Xiao family, and he was very skilled at refining Foundation Establishment level pills.

Many people sought his help to refine pills, which is why he could immediately see Jiang Heqian's current predicament.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yuansi extended an invitation:

"Please come with me to Xianyou Peak, Fellow Daoist Jiang, so we can sit down and have a proper discussion."

Jiang Heqian clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and thanked him, saying:

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xiao. I am deeply grateful."

Then the two took off and flew towards the mountainside of Xianyou Peak.

Xiao Yuansi's cave dwelling was not decorated much, and a faint fragrance of elixir permeated the air.

He poured a full cup of spiritual tea, handed it to Jiang Heqian, and asked directly:

"I wonder what kind of Jade True Spiritual Object Fellow Daoist Jiang possesses? Please show it to me so that I, Xiao, can prepare the necessary auxiliary spiritual materials."

Jiang Heqian took a sip of spiritual tea, and upon hearing this, he quickly put down the teacup, patted the storage bag at his waist, and took out two Jade True Foundation Establishment spiritual items, [Purple Jade Flower] and [Green Jade Stone], and handed them to Xiao Yuansi to see.

He said, sounding slightly embarrassed:

"I am not skilled in alchemy. The only things I have to refine for Jade True Pills are these two Jade True Foundation Establishment spiritual items. As for other auxiliary spiritual items, I am willing to exchange them for other spiritual items. Please help me take a look, Fellow Daoist Xiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out several spiritual items from his storage bag again, including [Qingyuan Spiritual Water], [Qiyun Branch], and [Baiye Stone].

Jiang Heqian said sincerely:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please feel free to exchange these spiritual items for alchemy materials. If you have any requests, please feel free to tell me. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to fulfill them."

How can mere Foundation Establishment cultivators compare to his path to enlightenment?

Once the spiritual items are used up, there will be other ways to obtain them, especially since these are captured spiritual items.

Seeing Jiang Heqian pull out so many Foundation Establishment spiritual items in one go, Xiao Yuansi exclaimed in surprise:

"Isn't Fellow Daoist Jiang a rogue cultivator? How come he has so many spiritual items on him?"

Jiang Heqian was taken aback upon hearing this, and then truthfully replied:

"Several years ago, I visited the Green Pine Cave Heaven in the East Sea. By chance, I acquired these spiritual items. I remember that your esteemed Daoist Xiao Yongling also went to the Green Pine Cave Heaven. Did he mention this to you?"

The origins of these spiritual objects are all traceable; they were all brought out from the Green Pine Cave Heaven, only changing hands a few times along the way.

Jiang Heqian killed Guo Hongjian and Miao Ye with his sword and seized the spiritual items from their storage bags.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuansi suddenly realized what was going on and said calmly:

"In previous years, Yong Ling did go to the East Sea and enter the Green Pine Cave Heaven. After returning to the Xiao family, he kept silent about the cave heaven. I, Xiao, did not know that Fellow Daoist Jiang had met Yong Ling in the Green Pine Cave Heaven."

"As for exchanging these for alchemy materials, I will accept the [Pure Essence Water] and the [Dwelling Cloud Branch], which is enough for me."

He waved his hand to accept the spiritual object and pushed the floating [White Ye Stone] back to Jiang Heqian.

Jiang Heqian picked up his teacup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and then pushed the [White Ye Stone] in front of Xiao Yuansi, saying sincerely:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao has already done me a tremendous favor by helping me refine pills. Please accept this [White Ye Stone] as payment for refining pills. I will never take it back."

I have indeed bothered him twice by asking for his help in refining pills, so it is only right that I offer him a Foundation Establishment spiritual item as payment this time.

Seeing his resolute tone, Xiao Yuansi nodded and stopped refusing, then raised his hand and accepted the White Ye Stone.

Then Jiang Heqian discussed with Xiao Yuansi:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I cultivate the Jade True Path, and my immortal foundation is called [Jade Court General]. I am not knowledgeable in alchemy, so I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Xiao would put in some effort to study Jade True Elixir."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuansi nodded solemnly in agreement:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please rest assured, I, Xiao, will do my best to refine this Jade True Pill for you. If all goes well, you can come to the Xiao family to collect the pill in two years."

Jiang Heqian looked delighted, and then the two began to chat.

Half a day later, a bluish-white light rose from Xianyou Peak and flew towards Milin County.
