Stuck on the highway, I just flew home on my sword!

As soon as Lin Ye reached the courtyard gate, he saw a person squatting on the steps.

Bai Zhi was wearing a beige down jacket, with fine snowflakes clinging to the white down on the hood.

She held a dry twig in her hand and poked at the snow below the steps, leaving countless tiny holes in the snow.

He was still muttering to himself, his voice so low that it just reached Lin Ye's ears.

"Damn Lin Ye, you stinking Lin Ye, you took my raw stones and now you're turning your back on me."

"Would it kill you to teach me a trick? You stingy bastard, you're destined to be single forever."

Lin Ye didn't stop walking; he went straight to the gate and took out his keys.

Bai Zhi looked up when she heard the noise, and her eyes lit up instantly.

She was about to speak when she remembered that she had come here to throw a tantrum, so she immediately put on a stern face and turned her head to the side.

Pretend you didn't see him.

Lin Ye opened the courtyard gate, went inside, and was about to close it behind him.

Bai Zhi was dumbfounded.

She squatted there in the cold for more than half an hour, and this person just ignored her completely?

"Hey! Stop right there!"

Bai Zhi suddenly jumped up, reached out to support the courtyard gate that was about to close, and stormed in angrily.

Lin Ye placed the wild fruit he was carrying on the stone table, took off his coat, and hung it under the eaves.

"What's up?"

His tone was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Bai Zhi stood with her hands on her hips and her chin raised as she looked at him.

"Lin Ye, what exactly do you want in exchange for teaching me the swordsmanship I used that day?"

"I can give you money and find you more raw jade stones. Dragon Pavilion can give you anything you want."

Lin Ye picked up a wild fruit, wiped it, and took a bite.

The sweet and sour juice spread in my mouth.

"I'm very busy."

"I don't have time to play with the kids."

Bai Zhi immediately bristled.

"Who's the child!"

"I'm twenty-three this year! I'm the youngest ace investigator in Dragon Pavilion! Peak Steel Bone Realm!"

"Who are you calling small! How am I small?!"

She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her down jacket stretched slightly tight.

Lin Ye's gaze swept over the curve of her chest, pausing for two seconds.

He said "oh".

"It is indeed quite large."

The air was silent for three seconds.

Bai Zhi's face flushed bright red instantly, from her ears all the way down to the base of her neck.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"You...you...you scoundrel!"

She turned around abruptly and rushed out of the courtyard gate, almost bumping into the door frame as she ran.

They even forgot to pick up their gloves that had fallen in the snow.

Lin Ye watched her hurried retreating figure, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

He bent down, picked up the pink knitted glove, brushed off the snow, and placed it on the stone table.

The spirit-gathering array in the courtyard slowly activated, and the spiritual energy, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, brushed against my cheeks.

Lin Ye walked to the center of the courtyard and stood still.

He raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together.

Without activating spiritual power, he simply swung the sword slowly according to the basic sword techniques recorded in the "Heavenly Evolution Dao Chapter".

The movements were slow, and each raise and lower of the hand was precise to the millimeter.

The sword strike sliced ​​through the air, the resulting gust of wind cutting the snow on the ground into neat, thin slices.

He has now reached the threshold of the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm.

All that's missing is a natural breakthrough.

After practicing swordsmanship for two hours, it got completely dark.

Lin Ye stopped his attack, his forehead completely dry.

He looked up and glanced in the direction of the back mountain.

The guidance of the Shushan lineage is still faintly present, but it is much weaker than last time.

It seems that the remaining items inside can only be retrieved after he breaks through to the Profound Realm.

Lin Ye turned and went inside, where he cooked himself a bowl of plain noodles.

My second uncle is still drinking at Old Wang's house next door; he probably won't be back until after midnight.

After finishing his meal, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate his inner energy.

The spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array flowed into the body through the pores, circulating in the meridians and constantly washing away the barriers of the mid-stage Transcendent Realm.

The snow outside the window was falling heavier and heavier.

The entire town of Qinghe was shrouded in a white blanket of snow.

No one knew that this unassuming little courtyard in the small town was harboring a power capable of upending the entire world.

For the next few days, Lin Ye lived a very regular life.

I go to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship before dawn.

He flew around in the clouds twice on his self-made iron sword, so fast that he could fling the passing birds far away.

Occasionally, when they encounter wild rabbits or pheasants that have mutated due to the nourishment of spiritual energy, they use their spiritual power to wrap small stones and knock them down, then take them home to roast and eat.

On one occasion, I even encountered the same wild boar king as before.

The wild boar king saw his shadow in the distance, turned and ran, crashing into three small trees in his panic.

Lin Ye was too lazy to chase it.

A beast of this caliber isn't even worthy of being tested on.

Bai Zhi indeed did not bother him.

I guess he was too embarrassed to come over after hearing his comment "It's really not small" last time.

Lin Ye was happy to have some free time, spending most of his days meditating and cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Array.

The concentration of spiritual energy around the Spirit Gathering Array is still slowly increasing.

The old locust tree in the yard has grown new branches half a meter long, which are particularly eye-catching in the cold winter months.

The weeds in the corner grew taller than a person, but Lin Ye couldn't be bothered to care.

That night, Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated as usual.

The vortex of spiritual energy in his dantian spun faster and became more and more solid.

The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, surging wildly into his body.

The leaves of the old locust tree in the yard shook wildly, making a rustling sound.

The five top-grade jade pieces buried underground emitted a faint emerald green light, and the operating speed of the entire spirit-gathering array increased threefold.

"Click."

A soft sound, audible only to Lin Ye, exploded within his body.

The barrier of the mid-stage Transcendent Realm shattered with a deafening roar.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy coursed through his meridians, doubling his strength from before.

Lin Ye opened his eyes, a faint silver light flashing in them, disappearing in an instant.

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

The bones inside the body emitted a series of fine, crisp cracking sounds.

Now, even without using spiritual power, he can withstand a Thunder Realm martial artist from the ancient martial arts world with just his physical strength.

If one were to unleash spiritual power, even a Grandmaster at the Void Aperture Realm could be instantly killed with a single sword strike.

Lin Ye walked into the courtyard and waved.

An invisible wave of energy spread out.

The snow that had accumulated to half a foot in the yard was instantly swept to the corner of the wall and piled into neat cubes.

Not a single snowflake fell to the ground.

Just then, a loud "thump" came from the courtyard wall.

Lin Ye looked up and saw Bai Zhi clinging to the wall, half her body leaning in, clutching the bronze compass in her hand, her face full of panic.

Just now, while she was in the hotel, the compass suddenly started spinning wildly, the needle pointing fixedly in the direction of Lin Ye's house.

The energy fluctuations are ridiculously strong.

Thinking a ferocious beast had been unleashed, she grabbed her sword and ran over, nearly falling as she climbed over the wall.

Bai Zhi clung to the top of the wall and swept around the yard.

Forget about ferocious beasts, there wasn't even a trace of wild animals.

Only Lin Ye stood in the center of the courtyard, watching her.

"Climbing over my wall in the middle of the night?"

Lin Ye's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

Bai Zhi's face instantly turned red again.

She ran so fast that her hair was all messed up, and she's still clinging to the wall, looking as disheveled as can be.

"I...I...I sensed an unusual energy fluctuation, and I thought there was danger!"

She stammered her explanation and hurriedly jumped down from the wall.

I didn't stand firmly when I landed and staggered.
