God-Slaying Blade

Qin Jue paid Huang Gang the spirit stones in full and said, "Come again before Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow."

"Is there anything else you need, brother?" Huang Gang asked in surprise.

He was just thinking that after leaving the Qin residence, he would go straight to the Drunken Flower Pavilion to spend the night...

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "You've done something for me, so naturally I have to give you something in return. As for what kind of return it is, you'll find out when you come tomorrow."

Huang Gang's eyes lit up with joy, and he chuckled, "Although I shouldn't ask for favors when doing things for you, brother, it would be too rude of me to refuse any benefits you offer!"

"Go ahead," Qin Jue waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave now!" Huang Gang said happily as he departed.

Qin Jue narrowed his eyes slightly. Now that the four spiritual items were ready, it was time to set up the Blood Refining Demon Forging Array.

Qin Jue entered an underground secret chamber, a place he had already chosen to set up his formation.

hum.

Qin Jue took out the God-Slaying Blade, planted it in the ground, and said with a smile, "Sister Qingxue, everything is ready. Teach me how to set up the formation!"

"Xiao Jue, you're a bit violent. You hurt your sister."

"cough--"

Liu Qingxue's teasing laughter nearly choked Qin Jue to death.

"This witch sister really dares to say anything!" Qin Jue thought helplessly.

"Hehehe, my dear little brother, you're a man now, yet you're still so easily teased! Han Xi is quite pretty, but I wonder if she knows how to serve people. Should your older sister teach her?" Liu Qingxue giggled mischievously.

Qin Jue coughed lightly and said, "Sister Qingxue, why don't you teach me how to set up the formation first? Buying those spiritual items cost me quite a few spirit stones, and I'm eager to see the results!"

Liu Qingxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll get your money's worth."

"This Blood Refining Demon Forging Array is derived from the Yin-Yang Two Elements Array, but it is a hundred times more complex. You must follow my instructions and precisely set up the array's key points step by step, without missing a single detail!"

"good!"

Immediately, under Liu Qingxue's step-by-step guidance, Qin Jue began to dig a pit in the stone chamber floor and fill it with a large number of spirit stones as well as four kinds of spiritual items: Crimson Yin Flower, Golden Yang Grass, Cold Condensation Pearl, and Fire Spirit Crystal.

After the key point of the formation was completed, Liu Qingxue said with a mischievous smile, "Xiao Jue, I didn't expect you to be so good at digging holes at such a young age."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Sister Qingxue, you flatter me. So, what's next?"

"Next, we'll connect the array's cores with spirit runes to complete the overall structure of the grand array. This process will be quite mentally and physically demanding, so you need to persevere and not exhaust yourself. If you really can't hold on any longer, just take some medicine; your sister won't laugh at you."

"..."

Although Liu Qingxue's words were quite suggestive, the process of completing the grand formation was indeed not easy. Qin Jue didn't care whether Liu Qingxue would laugh at him or not, and he took three Yuan-replenishing pills during the process.

"Good little brother, not bad at all! Although the Blood Refining Demon Forging Array that I asked you to set up is already the most basic version, even a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Realm might not be able to set it up successfully on the first try." Liu Qingxue's playful laughter was full of praise for Qin Jue.

Qin Jue was taken aback: "Sister Qingxue, could this already be a spirit array?"

"Of course it's a spirit array. How could ordinary martial arts arrays possibly be worthy of troubling my younger brother?" Liu Qingxue said with a light laugh.

"Stop standing there! Didn't you just want to know the effects of the Blood Refining Demon Forging Array? Then insert the God-Slaying Blade into the core of the array, activate the spirit array, and experience it for yourself. Although your physical body is already strong enough, you should still have a good experience the first time."

"Okay! Let's give it a try!"

Qin Jue exclaimed excitedly, drew his God-Slaying Blade, and plunged it into the heart of the formation!

boom--

As the core of the formation was struck, the entire formation shook violently. The next moment, dozens of dark red blood lines spread out from the core of the formation, continuously spreading towards every spirit rune in the entire formation!

boom!

A tremendous force, accompanied by a blood-red mist, erupted with a deafening roar.

The next moment, four different forces—one cold and one hot, one hard and one soft—rushed madly into Qin Jue's body!

The chilling power of the Crimson Yin Flower and the Cold Condensation Pearl, the scorching power of the Golden Yang Grass and the Fire Spirit Crystal, the fierce power of the Fearless Blade Qi, and the gentle power of the Blood Refining Power, all rushed into Qin Jue's body like countless fine needles the moment the formation was activated.

"hiss--"

Even with Qin Jue's strong physical body, he couldn't help but gasp in pain when suddenly subjected to the powerful impact of four forces on his body.

"How does it feel?"

"Although it's just the beginning, I can feel that the body-refining effect is absolutely amazing! With the alternation of hot and cold, the yin and yang forces complement each other, the sword energy turns into threads, scrapes the bones and grinds the tendons, refines the blood and generates vitality, and bursts forth with life force! These four forces intertwine in the body, it's simply incredible! For ordinary people, this can definitely achieve a rebirth that is like being reborn!" Qin Jue said excitedly.

"Hehe, then hurry up and thank your sister!" Liu Qingxue teased.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Words of thanks are meaningless. Once Sister Qingxue has rebuilt her physical body, I will definitely show my gratitude with real actions!"

"Oh, so how do you plan to thank me?" Liu Qingxue asked with a smile.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "I know that Sister Qingxue has always been lusting after my body, so I plan to repay her with my body."

"Pah, you little rascal, you're really dreaming!" Liu Qingxue said with a playful laugh.

"Your idea is indeed good, but if you want to thank your sister with your body, you'd better strengthen your physical body, otherwise you won't be able to withstand your sister's actions."

Liu Qingxue's wicked laughter startled Qin Jue. Could it be that this witch sister really wanted his body?

Qin Jue came out after staying in the Blood Refining Demon Forging Array for an hour.

His physical body was already extremely strong due to years of absorbing blood refinement power and condensing fearless sword energy. Although the Blood Refinement Demon Forging Array was effective, it quickly lost its strong enhancement effect on his physical body.

Staying any longer would only be a waste of time and the power of the formation.

Huang Gang arrived early the next morning.

Qin Jue also summoned Hong Tiehu and the others to his side.

Although Hong Tiehu had only been practicing the Tiger Soul Thunder Blade for a short time, his murderous aura had already begun to take shape. Moreover, in order to adapt to the power of the Tiger Soul Soul-Slaying Blade, he always held the long blade in his hands except when eating or sleeping.

Seeing this group of more than ten people, Huang Gang's heart pounded wildly.

"Big brother, whose house are we going to raid again?" Huang Gang asked excitedly. The scene before him made him think that Qin Jue was going to raid someone's house again.

Qin Jue simply said, "Huang Gang, you're over twenty years old, and your cultivation has only barely reached the eighth rank. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Huang Gang was completely bewildered.

He's twenty-one years old and at the eighth rank of Martial Realm! Is that shameful?

The faces of the Hong family martial arts school disciples behind Hong Tiehu turned red.

Several of them were over thirty years old and only at the eighth rank of Martial Realm.

Compared to Huang Gang, aren't they even more shameful?

"Cough, brother, I also feel ashamed, but there's nothing I can do. My talent is really limited..." Huang Gang could only force a dry laugh against his conscience.

Admitting to being a good-for-nothing in front of this older brother doesn't seem so shameful. After all, Qin Jue was already at the eighth rank of Martial Realm when he was fourteen years old.

Qin Jue said calmly, "Today, I will give you the same opportunity to become stronger as they do. But the prerequisite is that you can endure the pain, and more importantly, you must have the determination to become stronger!"

Since he had promised Huang Qiuyun that he would take care of Huang Gang, he would not go back on his word.

He can give Huang Gang a chance, but if Huang Gang doesn't live up to his potential, then let him live like a piece of trash.

Huang Gang's eyes widened in surprise: "Big brother, can I really become stronger? I've taken so many cultivation-enhancing pills, but my cultivation is still progressing very slowly. Even my grandfather said that the pills he feeds me are worse than those used to feed pigs..."

Qin Jue said calmly, "As long as you can endure hardship, you can become stronger!"
