Helplessness and Enlightenment

Lu Li made a detailed plan for his upcoming cultivation.

This morning I sparred with the older sister from Xiantian to strengthen my body and increase my close combat experience;

Next comes the Divine Soul Sword Control, where the eye-dotting ceremony is held while simultaneously nurturing and training the flying sword.

These little guys need to be treated like living beings and spent a lot of time with them in order to unleash their full potential.

Next comes the cleansing of acupoints...

By the time all this work was finished, it was almost evening.

My wife can have a good night's sleep and regain her energy—it's perfect!

Following this plan, Lu Li indeed enjoyed a few comfortable and fulfilling days.

But my good mood lasted for less than three days before it vanished.

Because the acupoints on the body have been cleansed.

To be precise, it is that the "acupoints that can be refined" have been refined.

The absence of all six meridians is not simply a matter of missing acupoints on the lower leg.

Just like a damaged circuit, many intact acupoints on the related meridians also lose their function. For example, the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian is almost completely useless.

No matter how hard Lu Li tried to explore, there were still as many as 120 acupoints that he couldn't refine!

"In other words, Martial Arts training has stagnated."

Dark clouds loomed overhead. Lu Li sat in the pavilion halfway up the mountain and sighed, feeling quite helpless.

Only by refining the acupoints can one fundamentally enhance physical strength and solidify one's innate foundation.

This broken leg has truly slowed down my progress significantly.

Especially since it's unknown when Zhenyangzi will return, and the efficacy of the elixir is also uncertain...

"The road ahead really seems bleak."

Lu Li murmured something, rain began to fall softly from the sky.

Sensing that their master was in a bad mood, the seven flying swords flew over and rubbed against him, as if trying to comfort him.

Wan Qing's Blood Drinker Sword was there; presumably, its master was reading, and this thing came to join in the fun.

Lu Li didn't stand on ceremony, infusing each sword with a tenth of his mental focus while teasing it with his finger.

The flying swords will actively avoid the blades, so as not to harm their master.

After playing with the babies for a while, Lu Li's mood improved, and she also thought of some good news.

With the Yin Yuan provided by Sister Xia, my kidneys will definitely be much stronger.

It can strengthen the body and also allow Internal Breath to flow continuously, resulting in extremely strong staying power.

These are all strong guarantees for advancing to the Xiantian realm!

Just as I was thinking this, a sexy figure swayed over; it was Xia Weiyin.

Her inner energy formed an invisible protective shield around her body, keeping the rain out.

Under normal circumstances, getting wet in the rain is probably nothing to worry about; it's not worth wasting your energy.

But with her young husband providing inspiration and not lacking in true energy, Xia Weiyin was able to indulge herself in this rare luxury.

Seeing her husband's dejected expression, she casually sent a burst of true energy to probe and nourish him, saying:

"What's up? Oh, not bad, you've cleansed your Ren and Du meridians!"

Such a divine object as the Spiritual Mechanism is suitable even for the Golden Body; using it for mere blood-changing cultivation will surely bring unparalleled success.

After Xia Weiyin finished speaking, she understood why her husband was worried, and comforted him:

"With Uncle-Master Zhenyangzi's Life Creation Pill, and if you gather more of my Yin Yuan, advancing to the Innate Realm will be no difficult task."

"Thank you, Sister Xia."

Lu Li naturally appreciated his older sister's kindness, so he hugged her in his arms and played with her soft, fleshy body.

"Hey~ Stop messing around!"

Xia Weiyin couldn't resist teasing and quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from moving, but a hint of coquettishness had already crept into her expression.

"Young man, actually Wan Qing and Xiao Cha are also women with abundant Yin Yuan, why don't you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Li shook his head. "They're at the same cultivation level as me. The damage would be too great; I can't bear to do that."

"With a bit of inspiration, there's really nothing to worry about."

"Let's wait until Zhenyangzi's Daoist Priest arrive, then we'll see."

Lu Li felt sorry for his wife, especially since she had previously shortened Xiao Cha's lifespan, and he truly did not want to do it again.

Seeing this, Xia Weiyin stopped trying to persuade him.

However, she had come specifically for something important, and just as she was about to speak, Lu Li's hand suddenly started moving again.

Xia Weiyin called out twice, then forgot about it.

When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that she was straddling someone's waist and had swallowed the whole thing.

"What are you doing! Stop... Hey, keep your mind alert and watch your surroundings, don't let anyone come near!"

It was too late to say anything then. Xia Weiyin punched Lu Li hard, telling him to keep an eye on the people.

"Don't worry, Sister Xia. This place is off-limits. I'll keep my mind focused, and I guarantee not even an ant will get through."

True Master Lu was a respectable man, so of course he had to be very careful. He added:

"My mind is soundproof, Sister Xia, you don't need to hold it in."

After saying that, he gave a good, witty rebuke, and his thoughts became increasingly clear.

After a while, the rain subsided, and Xia Weijun quickly came down, scolding:

"I kindly comforted you, and this is how you repay me!"

Such absurdity within the sect was hard for this disciple of the sect leader to accept.

Lu Li quickly changed the subject. "Sister Xia, you must have something to ask me?"

"Damn, I forgot!"

Xia Weijun straightened her clothes and hair, and said:

"My Killing for Benevolence Society keeping a close watch on the major water and land routes to kill the traffickers transporting Ice Soul Powder."

This move serves two purposes: first, to reduce the harm caused by drugs, and second, to alert the drug manufacturers and find clues about their operations.

However, those traffickers were quite powerful, and many of our colleagues have been injured by them in recent days.

I was thinking that since you spend all your time Sword Control with your divine Divine Soul, you might as well practice in real combat to avoid wasting your time... Besides, you don't need to leave the Mountain Gate."

Besides making the flying Sword Control faster and more accurate, the greatest significance of using the Divine Soul to control the sword is that the Divine Soul provides abundant energy, allowing the flying sword to fight at extremely long distances.

The saying "to take the enemy's head from a thousand miles away" is not an exaggeration.

Now that Lu Li's Divine Soul has manifested, he can carry more mental energy and truly fly 500 kilometers on his flying sword!

Of course, the exact cost depends on the intensity of the battle, but killing a few Ice Soul Powder vendors is certainly not a problem.

Moreover, it was just a small favor, so Lu Li readily agreed.

"That's easy, just tell me the time and place. Oh, and my puppet can also help!"

With a thought, 18 puppets emerged from the courtyard at the foot of the mountain and rushed over at top speed.

After undergoing a round of enhancement on Blue Star, even 16 ordinary ones can rival mid-to-high-level Blood Exchange martial artist.

Two of them are at the leader level, and they're even below the Innate level!

Moreover, they consumed 200 million units of willpower on Blue Star, so they have no shortage of energy and are ready to make some moves.

"I almost forgot you had this!"

Xia Weijun patted these metal objects, clicking her tongue in amazement:

"The design is ingenious! The joints are so flexible, yet the weight is all supported by the skeleton... and it was even refined with willpower!?"

Xia Weijun comes from a prestigious family, so she is certainly not lacking in knowledge and experience.

Upon seeing the puppet's body emitting a faint golden light, resembling a guardian deity in their sect's main hall, they immediately understood its true nature.

Lu Li nodded and said, "In this way, the pressure on the Killing for Benevolence Society should be alleviated somewhat."

"Of course!"

Xia Weijun pondered:

"Right now, we have two targets—Chizhou, 200 kilometers to the southwest, where a powerful band of outlaws is causing chaos."

The Guang Sheng Escort Agency would pass through the Xuancheng Highway, a hundred kilometers to the south.

"I'll handle the distant ones, let the puppet deal with the nearby ones."

Lu Li's Divine Soul Lu Li his body and entered the "Azure Frost Sword," then he soared into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

The puppet, however, headed towards the Guang Sheng Escort Agency.

What follows will be countless bloody battles!

But one Female Grandmaster set her sights on the puppet's body, which radiated golden light of willpower.
