Su Xian checked the detailed records within the Demon Strategy.
The records showed that accumulating true qi within his apertures had not taken him very much time.
Among them, the part that consumed the most time was the time spent opening the apertures!
In particular, the breakthroughs of every single bottleneck consumed even more time!
It seems my speed at accumulating true qi is still quite good!
However, when it comes to opening apertures and breaking through bottlenecks—matters that require a flash of inspiration and cultivation aptitude—I am still not very good at it!
I just wonder if the subsequent cultivation techniques include any that can improve cultivation aptitude like the Marrow Cleansing Bone Refining Scripture!
Su Xian looked at this record and shook his head.
It seemed that after reaching the Aperture Opening Realm, his natural talent was not that great either!
I wonder what kind of cultivation realm the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain actually has? Can I beat him right now?
Su Xian looked toward the direction of Green Dragon Mountain, thinking to himself inwardly.
Although he knew from the gathered information that the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain was an Aperture Opening Realm demon race member,
he truly did not know his specific cultivation realm.
I have no demon lifespan left right now! That is indeed a problem!
Su Xian looked at the empty demon lifespan above the Demon Strategy,
along with his remaining 141 years of lifespan, and involuntarily smiled and shook his head.
After breaking through to the Aperture Opening Realm, it actually directly added fifty years of lifespan to him!
He truly lived up to being in the first realm of the Five Realms of Martial Saints!
Speaking of demon lifespan! There should still be many demon race members in Blackwater County, right?
Su Xian looked toward the expanse of Blackwater County, involuntarily revealing a trace of a smile.
"It seems this trip to the Black Tiger Gang is unavoidable!" Su Xian said softly.
The Black Tiger Gang was connected to the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain,
and almost all demon race members in Blackwater County had communicated with the Black Tiger Gang.
Presumably, the Black Tiger Gang should know the locations of some demon race members in Blackwater County,
and perhaps even some demon race members were active right inside the Black Tiger Gang!
Su Xian urgently lacked demon lifespan right now!
This trip to the Black Tiger Gang was one he had to make without fail!
Without knowing the specific strength of the Lord of Azure Dragon Mountain,
Su Xian did not dare to rashly enter Green Dragon Mountain to kill demons for lifespan.
After all, Su Xian at this moment was merely a peak Aperture Opening Realm martial artist,
and his martial techniques were only at the Viscera Nourishing Realm level!
Su Xian now needed demon lifespan to elevate his martial techniques to the Aperture Opening Realm level!
He also needed many martial techniques as nourishment to succeed!
Just as Su Xian was pondering his subsequent actions,
Liu Xuan, the head of the Liu Family, brought the four or five remaining members of the Liu Family into the main hall.
After simply eating some food, the spirit and energy of these Liu Family members indeed looked a bit better.
At the very least, they no longer needed to support each other as they walked, and they also carried some soft luggage on their bodies.
"My lord! We have packed up and are ready to leave at any time!"
Liu Xuan's gaze could not hide his haggardness. Being about to leave this ancestral home of their Liu Family for hundreds of years truly made him grieve endlessly!
Su Xian looked at the few Liu Family members before him, and an idea formed in his mind!
"I have some business right now and temporarily cannot escort you out of Blackwater County!"
Su Xian said softly.
Hearing these words, the expressions of the Liu Family crowd changed drastically.
Could it be that this expert had not comprehended anything from the journey of tigers descending the mountain and wanted to renege on his word?
Looking at the drastically pale Liu Family crowd, Su Xian waved his hand and said,
"You don't need to worry either. Since I gave you my word, I will naturally keep you safe."
"Follow me!"
With that, Su Xian walked out of the main hall.
Inside the main hall, the few Liu Family members looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how to act.
"Let's go! Follow him! What other choice do we have right now?"
Liu Xuan sighed and followed Su Xian.
Su Xian led the few Liu Family members and walked toward the direction of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.
Along the way, looking at the familiar buildings around them,
the Liu Family crowd also speculated amongst themselves about where this expert was taking them.
However, they breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this direction wasn't toward the Black Tiger Gang.
Halfway there, Su Xian halted his steps.
The expressions of the Liu Family crowd changed involuntarily as they saw
not far away, an exquisitely beautiful woman standing there, looking at them with a smile.
They were none other than fools; recently, the demon race in Blackwater County had been causing panic among the populace,
and for such an exquisitely beautiful woman to appear here at night was definitely not normal—she was absolute demon race!
Looking at the exquisitely beautiful woman before him, Su Xian's eyes lit up.
It truly was sending a pillow right when he wanted to sleep; he happened to be lacking demon lifespan!
"Little brother..." The exquisitely beautiful woman spoke, her coy and slightly alluring voice washing over them!
Su Xian, however, wore a calm expression and slashed with his saber!
The twelve major apertures circulated!
True qi poured into the treasured saber in his hand!
A pure white blade aura several meters long flew out,
splitting the exquisitely beautiful woman, who had not finished speaking, cleanly in two.
[Ding! Slashed and killed a grade-three fox demon, obtaining 116 years of remaining lifespan!]
Watching the corpse of the exquisitely beautiful woman before him transform into a split-in-two white fox,
Su Xian checked his harvest and nodded in satisfaction.
116 years of lifespan was not a small amount either!
With his martial technique aptitude,
he should be able to comprehend an Aperture Opening Realm saber technique martial skill, right?
Seeing the expert before them cut down this fox demon with a single saber strike, the Liu Family crowd also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Keep up!"
Su Xian glanced at the Liu Family crowd behind him and said indifferently.
Finished speaking, Su Xian did not even glance at the side at the white fox corpse, continuing his advance toward the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.
Arriving at the gates of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, the Liu Family crowd paused in bewilderment.
"Senior, are you intending to... let us stay at the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School?"
Liu Xuan, head of the Liu Family, asked with a trace of doubt.
At the same time, he also guessed inwardly what kind of relationship this expert had with the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School.
Su Xian nodded slightly; there were quite a few empty rooms inside the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, enough for these few Liu Family members to live in.
Moreover, he could also fulfill his promise right at this moment
to refine the blood and qi of Zhao Lie, master of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School, and extend his life!
If Su Xian had been at the early stage of the Aperture Opening Realm, doing this might have been quite strenuous,
but now Su Xian was already at the peak Aperture Opening Realm cultivation; refining blood and qi for Zhao Lie would not consume much true qi.
Furthermore, as for Su Xian's true qi, as long as he poured demon lifespan into it, he could have as much as he wanted!
Su Xian circulated his true qi, his mouth moving slightly, yet the Liu Family crowd could not hear the slightest sound.
This was a trace of the might possessed by Aperture Opening Realm martial artists, being able to achieve sound transmission into secret via true qi.
Su Xian was calling Zhao Lie over right at this moment.
Before long, Zhao Lie arrived in front of the gates of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School with a terrified expression.
Looking at Su Xian before him, he could not help but feel shocked in his heart!
He had been fast asleep just moments ago, yet he had heard this voice of Su Fan ringing in his ears.
After waking him up in a start, he looked all around, yet discovered not the slightest trace of anyone!
Only upon arriving before the gates did he truly confirm that this Su Fan had actually spanned such a distance
to transmit sound directly into his ears!
This kind of method was simply unheard of!
"Brother Zhao, I would like to ask you to settle these few people in the Blazing Sun Martial Arts School for a period of time."
Su Xian looked at Zhao Lie before him and said softly.
Hearing this, Zhao Lie looked toward the few people beside him with a startled expression.
Of course he recognized these people; they were members of the Liu Family.
Had it not been rumored that the Black Tiger Gang had completely surrounded their Liu Family?
How could they have followed Su Fan here?
Zhao Lie frantically pondered inwardly: what kind of relationship did this Liu Family share with Su Fan, this unfamiliar expert?
Even while pondering, Zhao Lie nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"No problem, there is no problem with them living here for however long they need!"
