Ninety-seven Dao Domains, and He Was an Alchemist? (Two chapters in one)

Ancestor Yao?

Lin Shan Hai and the others followed the gaze and were all taken aback when they saw the look that Ancestor Yao was giving them. They then looked at Li Hao.

When did Li Hao meet Ancestor Yao?

Could it be that Ancestor Yao appreciated her ability to purify medicinal herbs?

"Then you should go quickly, don't keep Ancestor Yao waiting."

Lin Shan Hai urged hurriedly.

Li Hao nodded, flew out from the Floating Seats, crossed ten Arena Stage, and landed in front of Ancestor Yao and the other two Half-Saint.

Besides Lin Qingying and Bian Ruxue, there were two other Saint Child and Saint Daughter beside them. There was also a Saint Child who left halfway through the competition looking bored.

"This junior greets the three seniors."

Li Hao cupped his hands in greeting.

Seeing Li Hao's composed and confident demeanor, and that he didn't stand there trembling with fear, Ancestor Yao revealed a hint of appreciation in her eyes and said:

"We just discussed placing your painting in the Sword Tower. What do you think?"

Painting?

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but as Famous Painting, this was undoubtedly a great recognition of his work. He smiled and said:

"Of course I'd like to."

The three Half-Saint had anticipated Li Hao's response. After all, the Sword Tower was an extremely important place, and even those self-proclaimed Painting Saint within the Dynasty would find it difficult to deliver their paintings to the Sword Tower.

"In that case, I will send a message over there to have them wait. You will personally deliver Past?" Ancestor Yao asked.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded, saying, "Okay."

He had originally planned to visit the Sword Tower as well. Although he didn't have the status of a disciple of the Sacred Land, he could easily sneak in by having the Alchemist pull some strings for him.

Although he had already collected many Cultivation Method from the Sword Tower that these inner disciple had carefully selected in today's first battle, he had heard that the Sword Tower had nine levels, each of which contained a vast collection of Sword Dao Cultivation Method and other unique Signature Technique.

If he could discover and collect all of them, the Cultivation Method he mastered would reach an extremely terrifying level.

When these Cultivation Method Signature Technique are accumulated to a sufficient number, Refinement combined and reflected in each other, Li Hao can also develop even stronger Signature Technique.

"Ancestor Yao, may I also visit the Sword Tower to take a look at those Cultivation Method?"

Li Hao inquired, "This will save us the trouble of asking Lin Shan Hai and the others to find connections with various parties. Finding Half-Saint is just a matter of a word."

Ancestor Yao was somewhat surprised to hear this, and said, "Aren't you Alchemist? There's nothing related to Alchemist in the Sword Tower."

"I'd also like to see various Swordsmanship," Li Hao said with a light cough.

"So, you saw them fighting today and were inspired to practice Sword Dao?"

The burly middle-aged man beside him, Shan Ancestor, frowned and said, "Sword Dao is not child's play. If you want to master it, you must immerse yourself completely. Since you are Alchemist, just focus on refining your pills. Don't be overly ambitious and waste your talent and time!"

Seeing the severity in his voice, Ancestor Yao shook her head slightly and said to Li Hao:

"Since you're interested, you can go and take a look. However, what the Shan Ancestor said is also true: specialization leads to Great Dao. Here's what we'll do: go to the Sword Tower and choose a Swordsmanship you like. Then come to Yao Pool Peak to find me, and I'll personally guide you in your practice. I'll also take a look at your Sword Dao Aptitude. If your aptitude is mediocre, you can settle down and focus on alchemy."

Li Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Ancestor Yao."

The Shan Ancestor frowned slightly, and seeing that the Ancestor Yao had spoken, he said nothing more.

Beside her, Lin Qingying heard Li Hao's words, glanced at him, and her mind wandered. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind: Did he also want to practice swordsmanship?

Previously, when Li Hao drew her portrait, he pointed out the flaws in her Sword Intent based on her appearance. She vaguely sensed that perhaps Li Hao also had a talent for Sword Dao, but he had not yet cultivated or demonstrated it.

If he truly displays Sword Dao talent this time and becomes Ancestor Yao's disciple, it would be an excellent thing; perhaps they could fight side by side in the future...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Bian Ruxue glanced at Li Hao on the other Bian Ruxue, then looked away, not paying any attention.

The other two Saint Child and Saintess also knew this Qing Feng Alchemist. They had previously sent people to get closer to Li Hao, and now that they saw that Li Hao actually had the idea of practicing swordsmanship, they couldn't help but find it amusing.

Too young, acting like a child, so eager to learn everything you see? That's not a good thing.

"This is my Hand Token. Show this warrant and you may choose any Cultivation Method from any level of the Sword Tower, but remember not to break the rules there."

Ancestor Yao spoke to Li Hao, and at the same time tossed him a dark purple Hand Token with the character "Yao" engraved on it.

The Hand Token seemed to carry a faint fragrance. Li Hao took it, glanced at it, and was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Thank you, Ancestor Yao."

Being able to freely choose Cultivation Method from the nine levels of the Sword Tower is far superior to Lin Shan Hai and his group having to pull strings.

The Sword Tower has nine levels, but Outer Sect Disciple can only enter the first three.

inner disciple can advance to the Sixth Layer.

Only a select few Heavenly Prodigy, after accumulating a large amount of merit as disciples of the Sacred Land, are allowed to enter the Sword Tower to select Cultivation Method.

Both the Saint Child and Saint Daughter can enter the Ninefold Sword Tower.

Now, with this semi-divine decree, Li Hao has also gained the right to travel freely for a short period of time.

Shan Zu glanced at Yao Zu, frowned slightly, somewhat surprised. Yao Zu, who was usually cold and aloof towards men, actually showed great favor to the alchemist in front of her. This was a rare occurrence.

Not long after, Ancestor Yao summoned one of her female disciples and led Li Hao to the Sword Tower.

They also used other means to get the message to Sword Tower.

The Sword Tower is located on the Saint Mountain, in front of the Sword Cliff. This female disciple is a top Heavenly Prodigy of the Inner Sect, already at the Dao Law Realm. Li Hao had also witnessed the previous martial arts competition. She successfully defended her position, demonstrating extremely strong power, and had also mastered three Extreme Realm. She was truly a brilliant talent.

Jiang Yingyue felt rather uncomfortable being summoned by her Master to lead the way, but her expression softened slightly when she learned that Li Hao was Qing Feng Alchemist. Although she was still displeased, she at least didn't show Li Hao any displeasure on the surface, after all, he was the most popular person in the Alchemist circle recently.

Offending Li Hao would be tantamount to offending most of the Alchemist community, making alchemy in the future extremely difficult.

Before long, Jiang Yingyue rode her Flying Sword, carrying Li Hao, to the Sword Tower.

The two landed on their Flying Sword. Li Hao looked at the Sword Tower and immediately felt as if he were seeing a steep and imposing mountain peak.

The Ninefold Sword Tower is extremely tall, with chains wrapped around its eaves and corners. The entire Sword Tower resembles a heaven-reaching sword, and the chains wrapped around each floor seem to be there to limit its sharpness, to conceal and imprison it.

"This is the Sword Tower..."

Li Hao was shocked by what he saw with his own eyes. This was far more magnificent and imposing than Mortal World building, and even the Imperial Palace couldn't compare.

Outside the Sword Tower, two Sword Attendant wearing bronze masks were already waiting.

Upon seeing Li Hao and Jiang Yingyue, they didn't recognize Li Hao, but they recognized this top Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy.

They quickly deduced Li Hao's identity and stepped forward, saying, "This must be Qing Feng Alchemist? I heard that Ancestor Yao and the other elders decided to place your painting in the Sword Tower. Did you bring the scroll?"

"It brought..."

Li Hao flipped his hand and took out the Sword God’s First Battle Painting from the Heaven and Earth Space.

Seeing the scroll rolled up in Li Hao's hand, the two Sword Attendant nodded, then said, "Come with me. This matter still needs the Sword Master's approval."

"Sword Master?"

Li Hao was puzzled.

The two didn't say much, but glanced at Li Hao with some displeasure in their eyes.

Clearly, they felt offended that Li Hao was unaware of the Sword Master's existence.

"The Sword Master is the second Sword Saint within the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land!"

Jiang Yingyue, who was traveling with him, sent a telepathic message to Li Hao, saying, "The Sword Master is stationed in the Sword Tower year-round; he's the one who calls the shots here. Be careful and don't offend him."

She reminded him partly because she was worried that Li Hao might say something inappropriate and cause trouble for her Master, and partly because she wanted to show Li Hao a good relationship. Although leading the way was a bit of a hassle for her, it was also a good opportunity to get to know this Alchemist, Qing Feng.

"The second Sword Saint..."

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat. There were actually two Sword Saint within the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land?

He had always believed that there was only one Sage in the Sacred Land, but now there was actually a second one?!

Soon, the two Sword Attendant led Li Hao and Jiang Yingyue up the steps of the Square in Sword Tower to the Sword Tower. They then went around the Sword Tower and came to the back of the Sword Tower, where the Sword Cliff was located.

Opposite Sword Cliff is a snow-white waterfall, flowing down from a towering fault line. The rushing water falls into the depths of Sword Cliff, where the sound of rushing water can be faintly heard, and the bottom seems to be a river.

At the edge of this Sword Cliff, an old man wearing a straw hat sat upright. To Li Hao's surprise, the old man was holding a Fishing Rod. The fishing line in front of the Fishing Rod was not Fishing Line made of condensed energy, but a real Fishing Line, seemingly forged from some kind of treasure. He was sitting in front of the Sword Cliff, Angling in the deep valley inside the cliff.

"Master."

The two Sword Attendant spoke, but their titles surprised Li Hao. These two were actually disciples of Sage?

"Ancestor Yao and the others have sent word that they intend to place the painting in the hands of this Qing Feng Alchemist on the first floor of the Sword Tower, and have come to inquire about your opinion," one of the male Sword Attendant said in a low voice.

The figure remained unresponsive, seemingly indifferent.

Li Hao and Jiang Yingyue could only wait quietly for each other. Jiang Yingyue didn't dare to breathe, keeping her head down and secretly observing the Sword Master with her eyes. He was a figure even more esteemed than her Master.

Time slowly passed.

The two Sword Attendant didn't say anything more, they just stood there with their hands at their sides, their posture unchanged.

Although he was waiting, Li Hao was neither angry nor impatient. He could tell that the other person was focused on Angling, and their arrival would only be a disturbance and an offense.

Putting yourself in his shoes, if he were Angling, he wouldn't like having someone talking around him either.

Li Hao's gaze passed over the other person's back and landed on the Fishing Rod in his hand. He watched the line on the Fishing Rod sway gently, which showed that the current in the deep valley below Sword Cliff was swift. Angling in such rapid water was extremely difficult and challenging, and it also tested one's Mastery over the Angling.

If one uses Divine Sense to explore and control the underwater environment, that's a completely different matter.

But that would take away the fun of Angling.

Angling is like fighting fish blindfolded, just as one cannot see the Heaven's Will but still struggles against Heaven and Earth, finding endless joy in it.

Suddenly, the Fishing Line Pause slightly, and Li Hao's eyes lit up, knowing that a fish had come.

But do not move the bait if the fish has not yet taken the bait.

At this moment, the Fishing Line slackened again, clearly indicating that the thing at the bottom of the water had only grazed it, perhaps testing the waters.

We need to wait a little longer, just a little longer... Li Hao stared intently at the Fishing Line, his mind becoming focused.

Time Past slowly, and the water seemed still. The Fishing Line remained loose; had the fish escaped?

But Li Hao knew that now was the time when he couldn't rush things.

Suddenly, the Fishing Line Pause again, then slowly tightened.

Don't rush!

Li Hao's eyes narrowed instantly. The fish was still testing the waters; this wasn't a sign that it had taken the bait.

We have to wait some more!

Fortunately, the Sword Master did not lift the rod. The Fishing Line, which had just become taut, slowly loosened again, but suddenly tightened again the next moment.

"Carry!"

Li Hao couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

At the same time, the Sword Master moved extremely fast. The instant Li Hao finished speaking, he suddenly lifted the Fishing Rod, and the taut line was pulled up. Then, the Sword Master suddenly swung his body, as if a force was pulling the Fishing Line, and flung him directly out of the deep valley of the Sword Cliff.

A huge black shadow suddenly flew out from inside, its body enormous and long, letting out a scream of rage, with long teeth and five claws, it was clearly a Dragon Clan!

A huge iron hook pierced through the True Dragon's mouth, pulling it shut and drawing blood.

Li Hao was stunned. When he sensed the Aura of the True Dragon, he was shocked to find that it was Dragon Demon at the True Person Realm of Dao Hearing!

If this were thrown into the Mortal World, it would definitely be considered King-Level existence!

But at that moment, the Dragon Demon was pierced and pulled up by the Fishhook, letting out a roar. When it saw the Sword Master's appearance, it was so frightened that it collapsed and howled:

Sword Master, spare my life!

The figure in the bamboo hat didn't speak, but simply raised his hand, and a vast Law Power suppressed it, transforming its enormous Dragon Body into a tiny goldfish.

As the Fishing Line was reeled in, the goldfish was brought to the front of him. The goldfish gently swayed and struggled in front of the Fishing Line, looking pitifully at the Sword Master.

The Sword Master casually removed it from the Fishhook, seemingly chuckling, and said, "Of your seven siblings, you're the only one with a gluttonous mouth. It's time you learned your lesson."

As he spoke, he flung it down the Sword Cliff again, and it plunged into the Sword Cliff Dragon Pool below the cliff along with the waterfall.

After doing all this, the Sword Master turned around, revealing an old face with long, thin cheekbones and a face as sharp as a sword.

His eyes were deep, as if they contained the universe Heaven and Earth the Star and Moon within, and while they were calm and composed, they also revealed a sharpness that made people afraid to look directly at him.

His gaze fell on Li Hao, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he said, "Kid, were you the one shouting just now? You know about Angling too?"

Li Hao snapped out of his daze, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had been so engrossed in the moment that he had forgotten himself.

"I also go fishing occasionally," Li Hao said modestly.

A smile appeared on the Sword Master's lips. Being able to seize that moment was not something that could be achieved by simple Angling; he was clearly an Angling.

But Li Hao looked extremely young. People his age are usually working hard and pursuing Martial Dao; they don't have the leisure to study anything else.

"You were talking about a painting, right? Let me see it."

"That's what the Sword Master said."

The two masked Sword Attendant turned to look at Li Hao.

Jiang Yingyue also looked at Li Hao with curiosity. She had come here to see what kind of painting it was that could make her Master order it to be placed in the Sword Tower.

Li Hao didn't delay. With a wave of his hand, the magnificent scroll, spanning tens of meters, unfurled in mid-air.

As the scroll unfolds, the magnificent battle scene of ten Arena Stage, millions of disciples watching, and tens of Heavenly Prodigy geniuses vying for supremacy gradually comes into view.

Li Hao depicted the Sparring of numerous Sword Techniques and the appearance and disappearance of Dao Domain.

The expressions on the disciples' faces were clearly visible, down to the smallest detail, allowing one to sense their emotions during the battle and their soaring fighting spirit.

Upon seeing the scroll, the group was immediately captivated, awestruck by the magnificent battle depicted within.

Jiang Yingyue had never felt this way before when she stood by the Arena Stage watching. Through the painting, she seemed to hear again the countless cheers outside the Arena Stage and the fighting spirit of the many disciples striving for victory.

The two Sword Attendant exchanged a glance. Upon seeing the painting, they too felt a surge of excitement, wishing they could join the competition.

But they didn't go because they were too old.

The Heaven Pride Battle is limited to those under 300 years old, and they are all over that age.

The Sword Master looked at it for a moment, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said, "Exquisite Painting Dao skills, not bad. No wonder that child Jade Pool likes such a painting."

He referred to Ancestor Yao as "that child," which made Jiang Yingyue feel ashamed. However, considering the identity of this Sword Master, her own Master could only be considered a junior in front of him.

"Then go hang it up."

The Sword Master spoke casually.

After saying that, he glanced at Li Hao and said, "Little guy, would you like to try your hand at fishing? Let me see."

Angling is a lonely activity, and none of his disciples are cut out for it. They want to learn but can't, as they always have Sword Dao on their minds. He can't teach them either. But when he finally encounters a young fellow with some fishing skills, he begins to feel a sense of appreciation for his talent.

Li Hao was taken aback. As Angling himself, he quickly understood the other person's thoughts. If it were him, he would also be willing to invite a child who knew how to Angling to join him. This had nothing to do with his own cultivation level or status; it was purely for fun.

"Senior Sword Master, I'd like to visit the Sword Tower first, and then come back to accompany you later, how about that?"

Li Hao said, "I haven't forgotten the important matter."

"Okay, go ahead."

The Sword Master nodded, then turned around and swung the stick again.

Jiang Yingyue glanced at Li Hao, a strange look in her eyes. The Sage had invited him, but Li Hao had actually refused. This was a rare opportunity to get closer to the Sage.

The two Sword Attendant glanced at Li Hao with strange looks, but said nothing, and led Li Hao to the Sword Tower.

Jiang Yingyue had accompanied Li Hao here and originally intended to leave, but considering that Li Hao would be Angling with the Sword Master later, and she could also keep him company, this was a rare opportunity to get close to Sage, so she said to Li Hao:

"Go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you outside, and we'll go back together later."

"Wouldn't this take up too much time for you? Senior Sister Jiang, you can go back first," Li Hao quickly said.

Jiang Yingyue felt a little annoyed upon hearing this, but on the surface she smiled and said, "The first battle is over, and I'm just idling around anyway. Since Master entrusted you to me, it's only natural that I should take you back."

"Alright then, I might watch for a while."

"It's alright, we'll wait."

Jiang Yingyue said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister Jiang."

As Li Hao spoke, he cupped his hands in greeting to her, and then followed the two Sword Attendant into the Sword Tower.

The First Layer of this Sword Tower is vast inside, like a huge library, with clean and tidy bookshelves for Cultivation Method, divided into left and right sections.

Li Hao glanced around and saw that the books on this shelf were even more numerous than those in the Daoist Dao Repository Hall of the Qian Dao Palace!

And this is only the first level. The Dao Repository Hall of the Qian Dao Palace has collected all the Cultivation Method in the All Under Heaven, yet it is still inferior to the Sword Tower!

Li Hao sighed inwardly and followed the two Sword Attendant to the back of the Sword Tower. There was a conspicuous wall in the main hall. The two Sword Attendant took Li Hao's painting, spread it out, and displayed it on the wall. They then sealed it with Principle, making it untouchable and undamageable.

Once the paintings were placed, Li Hao took out Ancestor Yao's Hand Token, showed it to the two of them, and said:

"I'd like to see the Cultivation Method used here."

The two recognized the Ancestor Yao’s Token, exchanged a glance, and were both somewhat surprised, not expecting that the person before them would receive such favor from the Ancestor Yao.

The man said, "Then you can choose for yourself. The books here are all sealed by Principle. You can only glimpse a small part or the general outline. You must not forcibly break the Principle, otherwise you will trigger the Sword Tower formation and be instantly killed by ten thousand swords!"

Li Hao also noticed that the Cultivation Method on these bookshelves were permeated with the Aura of Principle. He nodded, put away the Hand Token, and after the two Sword Attendant left, he wandered around the building.

He took out the Cultivation Method and found that only the front could be opened; the back seemed to be sealed shut and could not be opened, nor could his Divine Sense penetrate it.

Fortunately, only the first part is needed for Li Hao to grasp the Rudiments, which is enough to make him able to comprehend it.

Li Hao didn't stand on ceremony and quickly started flipping through the books one by one.

As the notification sounds from the Panel continued to ring, Li Hao added one Cultivation Method Secret Manual after another to the Panel.

The Cultivation Method here are mainly based on swords, with a wide variety of Swordsmanship, too numerous to count.

Some Swordsmanship are even called Blade-and-Sword Technique, using the Knife Intent to control the blade, while others use spear techniques to control the sword, which can be said to have brought Swordsmanship to their peak!

There are many different kinds of unconventional Swordsmanship. Although Li Hao is collecting various Swordsmanship, the countless messages that come his way give Li Hao the feeling of collecting All Things.

It's just a simple sword, yet it contains countless uses.

Perhaps it was the continuous influx of information that stirred up a surge of inspiration in Li Hao's mind, causing countless thoughts to flood in. He felt a sense of disorientation and illusion, and suddenly gained a profound understanding of the sword.

If you regard it as a sword, then it is a sword.

If you consider it a knife, then it is a knife.

If you see it as a gust of wind, then it can also be a gust of wind!

What is a sword?

A sword is a sword, and a sword can be more than just a sword, but a sword is still a sword!

Li Hao had a sudden realization. The influx of various Cultivation Method allowed Li Hao Sole Self Sword Intent to be continuously refined and honed.

A sword can cut through All Things, but first it must recognize All Things.

Today, Li Hao is walking this path of identification.

The lowest level of this Sword Tower Cultivation Method is at least high grade.

It took Li Hao several hours to collect them all, most of which were Swordsmanship, which were deduced to the Dao level in the Panel.

Li Hao sat upright in the first level of the Sword Tower for three hours, combining various Cultivation Method to condense a Nine Layers of Dao Domain.

He then went to the Second Layer the Sword Tower.

Most of the skills here are Signature Technique, with a few being exquisite and superior cultivation Cultivation Method.

However, the number is much smaller than that of the first level of the Sword Tower, but there are still over a thousand copies.

Li Hao collected them one by one, Sole Self Sword Intent was greatly enhanced once again.

Others Cultivation Practice Method by studying one book after another, spending months, years, or even decades.

Li Hao, on the other hand, cultivated over a thousand books in one go, absorbing them simultaneously and saving countless hours.

His Sword Intent was constantly being refined, and his understanding of the sword was also deepening.

On the Second Layer of the Sword Tower, Li Hao sat upright for four hours, cultivating thirteen levels of Dao Domain.

Then, Li Hao got up again and headed to the third level of the Sword Tower.

By the time you reach the third level of the Sword Tower, there are fewer Cultivation Method, but there are still several hundred, all of them Signature Technique.

Li Hao perused and collected them one by one. As time passed, by the time he had absorbed all of the third Sword Tower, Li Hao's Dao Domain had once again increased, reaching the eighty-ninth level!

He concealed his Aura with the Myriad Manifestation Attribute and the Codex Attributes of Hidden Bow and River Snow Painting, and condensed his Dao Domain within his body without causing any disturbance. However, Li Hao could feel that his own Dao Domain was getting stronger and stronger. Even though he was only at the Great Peace Dao Realm at the moment, with so many layers of Dao Domain, he could easily suppress the True Person Realm!

Without relying on the Immortal Transformation, one can fight against adversity simply by mastering the Dao Domain!

Li Hao did not stop and continued to the fourth level of the sword tower.

At the same time, the two Sword Attendant Sword Tower also withdrew their Divine Sense from Sword Tower, feeling somewhat bored.

"This Alchemist is truly greedy."

The two exchanged a glance and both shook their heads slightly.

They had all secretly observed Li Hao's actions inside the Sword Tower; he was actually flipping through every single Cultivation Method —it was practically a thorough, meticulous search!

With the Ancestor Yao’s Token, an ordinary person would have already ascended to the Ninefold Sword Tower and chosen from among those top-tier Daoist techniques and sacred methods.

But this Alchemist is something else; he's read through all the top-grade Cultivation Method at the first level. He must have a lot of free time.

"Hasn't he come out yet?"

Jiang Yingyue, who was waiting outside, saw the two Sword Attendant and couldn't help but ask them.

She had been waiting here for almost a day. Li Hao said he would be slow, but she didn't expect it to be this slow!

Did they go in to choose Cultivation Method, or did they go to sleep inside?

"If you're in a hurry, you can go back first."

The man spoke calmly, naturally omitting the fact that Li Hao was taking his time choosing among them, as that would have revealed their secret spying.

Jiang Yingyue was so angry she was speechless. She had already promised Li Hao she would wait for him, how could she go back on her word?

Just then, footsteps approached, and the Sword Master, carrying Fishing Rod, strolled over leisurely. Upon seeing the three people at the entrance of the Sword Tower, he looked surprised and asked, "What are you all doing here?"

"When that Alchemist chooses Cultivation Method, he has the Ancestor Yao’s Token and can choose one Cultivation Method to take out."

The female Sword Attendant quickly replied, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's.

The Sword Master was slightly surprised and glanced at the Sword Tower. He stood outside the tower, separated by layers of walls, but his gaze seemed to pierce through everything. Soon, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"Ninety-seven levels of the Dao Domain, and you say he's Alchemist?"
