More Comfortable Than the Sect Master

In the dim, dark, and bottomless canyon, a streak of light flashed, Yue Qianchou landed on the mountaintop. His longsword circled around him before returning to its sheath. A smile appeared on his lips as he murmured, "I didn't expect there to be subterranean fire here. It's quite a good place for alchemy." His gaze lingered on a boulder on the opposite cliff. He nodded slightly, clasped his hands together, raised four fingers in two pairs, and held them to his brow. With a thought, the longsword on his back was drawn with a "clang," and two beams of cold light shot out from his Storage Bag. Instantly, three longswords circled around him.

"Go." Yue Qianchou shouted softly, thrusting his four fingers together at the boulder on the opposite cliff. The three longswords that circled around him transformed into three streaks of cold light and shot out. "Bang bang bang..." First Company of sounds rang out, and the boulder was shrouded in the dust it kicked up. The three streaks of cold light, like jade maidens shuttling back and forth, flashed in and out of the dust in turn. The broken stones on the boulder fell into the bottomless valley with a clatter.

"Withdraw." He clenched his fists, and three cold beams shot out from the dust like chasing clouds and the moon, each returning to its place. After the dust on the opposite mountaintop was cleared by the mountain wind, Yue Qianchou stared intently, his facial muscles twitching slightly. He saw three large characters carved on the boulder. "Utopia." Although the characters were imposing, they were rather crooked and not very neat.

"Sigh! Law Artifact is just Law Artifact. Even if I had three Law Treasure- level longswords, it wouldn't affect my performance." Yue Qianchou shook his head as he looked at the three large characters opposite him. A year ago, among the many Method Formula he obtained from the Scripture Pavilion, he chose a set called "Returning Origin Sword Art." The reason he chose it was that after mastering it, he could control multiple swords to fight enemies at the same time, and as his cultivation level increased, the number of swords he could control would also increase.

After Bai Suzhen saw the Method Formula, she advised him, "I've never seen this kind of sword technique before, but it seems a bit useless. Its power is insufficient to defend against enemies, and it's not suitable for people who travel in the Cultivation World to practice. It would be better to change to a more powerful Method Formula."

Yue Qianchou disagreed. In his previous life, he had learned from fighting in groups that more punches could defeat a master. So when he saw this sword manual, he felt a strong connection to it. He refused, saying, "Sister, didn't you read what the sword manual says? The deeper the cultivation of the swordsman, the higher the grade of the sword, and the greater its power."

"This principle applies to any sword technique," Bai Suzhen said irritably. Seeing that her younger brother didn't seem to care, she didn't bother to say anything more. Some people only learn from their mistakes after suffering losses.

Seeing that Bai Suzhen was a little angry, Yue Qianchou hesitated as well. He returned to Fu Xian Island and inquired around, but he had never heard of anyone practicing it. He didn't know which generation of disciples had collected it from outside, and after storing it in the Scripture Pavilion, no one had practiced it. The reason, as his sister had said, was that its power was insufficient. Most Fu Xian Island disciples practiced the "Fu Xian Sword Art" passed down in their sect, which was quite powerful. Guan Yu had stayed on Fu Xian Island, and after persuading Chen Feng, the two of them practiced this sword technique. But for some reason, Yue Qianchou was really reluctant to give it up. Perhaps it was fate! He gritted his teeth and decided to continue practicing it.

Within a year, all three broke through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. This cultivation speed would be astonishing if it were told, but it was all thanks to Yue Qianchou. When they first reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, the three of them finally escaped the pain of not daring to absorb Spiritual Qi freely when they were at the Level Ten Qi Refining. Piles of Spirit Stone naturally became their targets. However, after absorbing and refining a high-grade Spirit Stones and putting it into their Dantian, they were all a little dumbfounded. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as a drop in the ocean, it was about the same. The Spirit Stone did help, but not much, and they didn't know how many years it would take to improve their cultivation.

The only shortcut was elixirs, and the solution naturally fell to Yue Qianchou. After refining several batches of Origin Qi Pill from the Alchemy Pavilion's spiritual herbs and consuming them, the effects were indeed remarkable. However, this was not a long-term solution. It wouldn't make sense for you to keep using the Alchemy Pavilion 'Alchemy Pavilion spiritual herbs without giving them a single pill in return.

Finally, he set his sights on Furong in Myriad Fragrance Garden. He would go to Myriad Fragrance Garden to stroll around and chat with Furong whenever he had free time, making Furong look forward to his visit every day. Then he instigated Furong to ask Fei Denan for seeds of spiritual herbs. Today she would ask for the seeds of this spiritual herb, and tomorrow she would ask for the seeds of that spiritual herb.

Such a thing naturally couldn't be kept from Fei Denan. Although it was a violation of the rules, Fei Denan turned a blind eye, as long as his daughter was happy.

A variety of spirit herb seeds were constantly being brought to Utopia, which filled Guan Yu and Chen Feng with admiration. These were spirit herb seeds, treasures in the Cultivation World, not weed seeds. Yet their leader could casually obtain them every few days. They couldn't help but admire him; they certainly didn't have that ability. With seeds and purple chaos, spirit herbs were naturally no problem. Afterward, Yue Qianchou regularly went to the Alchemy Chamber to pay his respects to his master, and then spent some time holed up in his own Alchemy Chamber.

After living this way for a while, he had taken all the seeds from Myriad Fragrance Garden. In the end, Furong couldn't produce any more spiritual herb seeds. Yue Qianchou, that heartless fellow, went off to cultivate diligently, which made Fei Denan furious. He made excuses to run to the Alchemy Pavilion many times, but he could never find Yue Qianchou.

With a loud "thud," Yue Qianchou, standing atop the mountain, felt a slight tremor beneath his feet. A hint of joy appeared on his brow as he turned to look at a figure at the foot of the mountain. He drew his sword, carrying the person, and glided towards that spot.

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Feng was laughing heartily, brandishing his arms. Seeing Yue Qianchou arrive, he waved and said with a smile, "Boss, it worked!"

Yue Qianchou landed and looked around. He saw that where there had been a huge rock several feet in size, it was now broken into a pile. The marks clearly indicated that it had been destroyed by external force. At this moment, Guan Yu flew over from the other side of the mountain, landed, glanced at the rubble, and said with delight, "Chen Feng, your 'Armor Piercing Talisman' is complete."

Chen Feng said smugly, "My Chen family's ancestral talisman-making skills are not just empty words. If it weren't for my limited cultivation, I would definitely show you the power of talisman-making..." Just as he was being arrogant, he suddenly saw Yue Qianchou staring at him indifferently, and his voice immediately went hoarse. He was still somewhat afraid of this boss.

Yue Qianchou was simply curious. During this time, under his supervision, Chen Feng had begun to pick up his family's old craft and start practicing. Since then, he often heard Chen Feng boasting about his family's ancestral talisman-making skills. He didn't seem to be talking nonsense, but why had he never heard of Lineage with the surname Chen in the Cultivation World that was proficient in talisman-making?

Seeing the talisman's immense power, Yue Qianchou thought it would be excellent for self-defense and casually said, "Chen Feng, make me ten of these 'Armor Piercing Talisman'!"

"Uh..." Chen Feng looked troubled as he touched his Storage Bag, a gift from his boss. He took out a dozen blank talisman papers, then pulled out a few darker ones, saying, "Boss, these are all the talisman papers I have left to make 'Armor Piercing Talisman.' I really can't make ten." He was a little embarrassed after saying that. His boss had given him everything he could— Storage Bag, Foundation Establishment Pill, Origin Qi Pill, and various Method Formula —but he couldn't even give him a few talismans.

"Oh, then make as many as you can; it's better than nothing. Also, please list out all the materials needed for making the talismans in detail, and I'll see if I can get some," Yue Qianchou said after thinking for a moment.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Boss, I understand."

Yue Qianchou said nothing more, vanished before their eyes, returned to his room, and opened the door to find Ling Feng and the other two eating in the courtyard. Upon seeing him, the three stood up and bowed, saying, "Martial Uncle Yue." Although Yue Qianchou often told them they didn't need to address him that way, the distance between him and the three seemed to grow ever greater, while the three remained stagnant.

The former waved his hand, indicating that they should continue eating and not worry about him, and walked out of the courtyard. Ling Feng spoke up behind him, "Martial Uncle Yue, Elder Fei from Myriad Fragrance Garden came to see you again yesterday and told us to inform you to go to Myriad Fragrance Garden after we see you."

"I understand," Yue Qianchou said without turning his head, secretly thinking that he was a little hungry and going to Myriad Fragrance Garden was just right. The longsword sprang out and carried him away.

The three people in the courtyard watched Yue Qianchou fly away with envy. In all their years on Fu Xian Island, they had never seen anyone live such a carefree life. A Foundation Establishment Realm disciple, he practically never had to do any work, spending all his time playing and rarely seen. This caused quite a stir in the Alchemy Pavilion, but strangely, none of the many elders there ever interfered. Even people like Yan Shu turned a blind eye. And the head elder of Myriad Fragrance Garden, who came to invite him every few days, always seemed indifferent. It was truly bizarre!

"Ah..." Bei Zi let out a dry howl, covering her face with her hands and crying out in despair, "When will I be able to live a life like his! Damn it, it's even more comfortable than the sect leader's!"
