Looking at the remaining 252 years of demon lifespan on the Demon Strategy, Su Xian felt a surge of ambition.

His already exceptional Martial Skill talent, amplified by Ice Muscle Jade Bone, was like adding wings to a tiger!

"Perhaps... there's a possibility of creating my own Cultivation Method in the future?" a more audacious thought flashed through his mind.

However, Su Xian quickly calmed down. Creating a Cultivation Method required an incredibly deep accumulation of martial arts knowledge and experience.

As he was now, his foundation was far from sufficient.

The next morning, Su Xian checked out of the inn and set off on his journey alone.

On the way back, a group of audacious bandits jumped out to block the road and rob him.

Su Xian's eyes turned cold, and the imposing aura of a Viscera Nourishing Realm expert erupted!

He didn't waste any words. His body moved like lightning, and the glint of his blade flashed!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

It was like cutting through melons and vegetables!

Wherever the blade passed, blood splattered!

These bandits, whose highest cultivation was Tendon Refining, couldn't even withstand a single move against him. In an instant, they were all annihilated!

Su Xian expressionlessly searched their bodies, only finding a small amount of scattered silver.

As for Martial Skills?

There was only a crude copy of the Azure Origin Fist.

It was only a third-grade skill, which was like scrap paper to him.

However, it could still accumulate martial arts knowledge, so Su Xian still put it away.

After dealing with this minor interruption, Su Xian exerted force with his feet, unleashing the full speed of a Viscera Nourishing Realm expert!

His speed was like a galloping horse, far surpassing that of his previous carriage!

Before noon, the familiar outline of Blackwater County came into view.

"Finally, I'm back! Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, Viscera Nourishing Realm Cultivation Method!"

"And that thing from the Liu Family! Possibly the Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Map related to breaking through to the Viscera Nourishing Realm!"

Su Xian recalled the Liu Family and then strode into Blackwater County.

Su Xian's current appearance had already been altered by him, so he wasn't afraid of being recognized.

He headed directly towards the Liu Family's residence.

He wondered how the Black Tiger Gang leader was doing?

Could it be that Su Xian had already broken through to the Initial Organ Nourishing Realm, but he still hadn't obtained the Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Map from the Liu Family?

Su Xian shook his head. If that were the case, he might even be able to contend for the Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Map!

To see if he could gain some insight and break through to the Viscera Nourishing Realm!

And reach the legendary Aperture Opening Realm!

He hurried along the way.

Su Xian's figure weaved rapidly through the streets and alleys, and soon he arrived near the Liu Family's courtyard.

His gaze was sharp, and from a distance, he saw two martial artists standing like door gods outside the Liu Family's courtyard gate.

The ferocious black tiger pattern embroidered on their sleeves was particularly glaring.

"The Black Tiger Gang acted quickly! I wonder if the Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain Map is still in the Liu Family's hands?"

Su Xian's heart tightened, and his brows furrowed subconsciously.

He decisively turned around and, without stopping, accelerated towards the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.

It wasn't time to confront the Black Tiger Gang leader head-on yet!

That guy was a genuine Peak Bone Tempering Realm expert and was also connected to the mysterious Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain!

"The priority now is to get my hands on a Viscera Nourishing Realm cultivation method!"

Su Xian's thoughts raced.

As he was pondering, a deliberately lowered discussion drifted over with the wind, entering his ears.

Su Xian was now a Viscera Nourishing Realm expert, with extraordinary hearing. The idle chatter from the teahouses on the street was perfectly clear to him.

He paused and quietly pricked up his ears to listen.

"Hey, did you hear? Master Zhao of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School... he's not doing well!"

In the teahouse, a patron spoke mysteriously.

"Isn't that right!" someone next to him immediately chimed in.

"The Blazing Sun Martial Arts School has already spread the word! They say they're looking for a Peak Bone Tempering Realm expert to join them!"

"The condition is that Master Zhao will exhaust all his lifelong cultivation to forcibly help that person break through to the Viscera Nourishing Realm!"

"The price is that the person must guard the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School for twenty years!"

"Sigh, to come up with this method, it seems the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School really can't hold on anymore; even the old Master is going all out."

Another person sighed, his tone filled with emotion.

"There's no other way! Among the three major powers in Blackwater County, the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School was always at the bottom."

"If it weren't for the Black Tiger Gang not making a move on them for now, they probably would have been swallowed up long ago!"

Someone shrugged helplessly, stating the harsh reality.

"I think this is very risky!" another person shook his head.

"Experts in the Bone Tempering Realm are already rare, let alone those at the Peak Bone Tempering Realm!"

"In our Blackwater County, and even the surrounding counties, you can count them on your fingers!"

"If you ask me," a voice chimed in with a hint of mockery, "the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School might as well just surrender to the Black Tiger Gang!"

"If Master Zhao personally teaches the Black Tiger Gang, wouldn't that be like a tiger with wings, taking them to the next level? Haha!"

Su Xian, not far away, heard these conversations word for word.

The slight frown on his brow instantly relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Heaven truly helps me!" Su Xian was ecstatic inwardly.

He never expected the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School to have such a plan!

His current cultivation was genuinely in the Initial Viscera Nourishing Realm, which was more than a notch above the Peak Bone Tempering Realm they were looking for!

Although he would need to protect the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School for twenty years, if the Master of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School didn't expend his lifelong cultivation to help someone break through, it shouldn't be difficult for him to live for some more time, right?

As long as Su Xian could break through to Perfection of Viscera Nourishing Realm, or even the legendary Aperture Opening Realm!

Then, helping the Master of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School break through a minor realm should also extend his lifespan for a period!

Or, at worst, he could just sweep through all the powers in Blackwater County then!

And make the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School the strongest force!

With this thought, Su Xian no longer hesitated. His feet moved like the wind as he sped towards the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.

In front of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, Senior Brother Cui Hao was standing guard.

Su Xian strode forward quickly.

"Excuse me, please inform your Master that I have an urgent matter to discuss with him."

Su Xian said to Cui Hao in a calm tone.

At this moment, he had already used bone shrinking and disguise to change his height, build, appearance, and even his voice.

To outsiders, he was a completely different person.

Since Su Xian was here to seek a Viscera Nourishing Realm Cultivation Method, he couldn't just barge in.

Cui Hao looked at the unfamiliar face before him, his brow furrowed slightly.

Recently, because of that news, many ignorant people had come to test them, which was making him a bit annoyed.

"Looking for Master? Are you here to learn martial arts, or..." he asked, his tone scrutinizing.

"I have an important matter to discuss."

A faint smile played on Su Xian's lips. Before he could finish speaking, he casually stepped on the hard bluestone floor beneath his right foot.

Poof--!

With a soft sound, Cui Hao's eyes almost popped out!

He saw Su Xian's right foot sink silently and deeply into the thick bluestone slab, all the way up to his ankle, as if stepping into soft mud!

What made Cui Hao's scalp tingle even more was that the bluestone slab itself was completely intact, without even a single crack!

This... how was this possible?

Shattering bluestone floors was something a few of the stronger Junior Brothers in their martial arts school could manage with effort.

But to do it so effortlessly, with the force condensed to the extreme, not leaking out at all, and integrating into the stone slab!

This control over strength was simply divine!

It was definitely a cultivation far beyond the Tendon Refining Realm!

"P-Predecessor, please wait a moment! This junior will go invite Master immediately!"

Cui Hao instantly shed all his condescension, his attitude becoming extremely respectful, his voice even carrying a hint of excitement and awe.

He didn't dare to delay and turned to rush into the school to deliver the message.
